Chapter 347 Blood debt must be paid with blood
Hui Chengyuan refused the emperor Zhao's invitation to dinner and left the palace with Yuan Man.
As soon as they left, Emperor Zhao called King Qiong in.
Because he knew from the beginning that Prince Qiong had not left the palace.
Then the matter of site selection was handed over to King Qiong.
After hearing this, King Qiong asked the Emperor of Zhao for the map of Zhao.
Their princes and nobles can indeed see the map of Zhao State, but they cannot have it.
If there is, it must be in private and not in public.
Emperor Zhao glanced at him and signaled to the steward to give him the money.
"Also, I have something to do for you. Find a good mansion for Lao Liu, renovate it, and turn it into a residence for him."
King Qiong frowned and knew why.
"Yes, I accept your orders."
Emperor Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the house next to the General's Mansion."
He had the impression that the house had been empty all this time.
King Qiong looked up at him and said, "Isn't that house a little small? After all, my sixth brother has been crowned king."
I think the case of the general will be retried.
"Then expand it according to the grade." After saying this, Emperor Zhao waved his hand and asked him to leave.
After he left, Prince Rui was summoned into the palace.
Prince Qiong held the map in his hand, exchanged glances with Prince Rui, and then passed by him.
Prince Qiong could guess what Prince Rui was going to do in the palace.
My father will definitely give him the responsibility for connecting to the trade.
However, he preferred the asylum to trade.
Hui Chengyuan and Yuan Man returned to Lexiangshan and called Jinnan over.
One is to tell him that the case of the general will be retried and overturned.
Second, Emperor Zhao has agreed to establish a government in Yanbei. As for where the location will be, we should know it later.
Third, they will leave Ningcheng in two days.
Jinnan knew that this day would come sooner or later, so he controlled his emotions very well.
But he is only a half-grown child after all, and no matter how well he restrains himself, Yuanman can still see it.
"Pick up Yan Bei tomorrow and we'll have a reunion dinner together."
"Okay." Jinnan nodded with his head down.
At the court meeting the next day, the Dali Temple submitted a memorial and handed over the evidence that Sima Yi had framed the General Zhenguo.
When Emperor Zhao saw this, his face darkened and at the same time, a strong sense of fear arose in his heart.
Just as Crown Prince Xiaoning and the Crown Princess proposed to overturn the case for the General Zhenguo, the Dali Temple found evidence.
Who would believe me if I say it has nothing to do with them?
Sima Yi panicked when he saw the evidence and looked at Emperor Zhao.
"Your Majesty, someone must have slandered me. The evidence I provided was not false at all."
"It's been so long, and yet you suddenly say that I framed the general. Someone must be trying to frame me."
"Someone wanted to assassinate me first, and someone wanted to slander me later. I feel so wronged."
Prince Heng was completely stunned and panicked when looking at the pile of evidence.
King Rui frowned slightly as he looked at the pile of evidence.
It is absolutely impossible that so much evidence was found by the Dali Temple Minister.
If they could find it, the general who guards the country would not have died.
The Dali Temple official glanced at him calmly and said, "I have verified all of this evidence one by one, and there is absolutely no fabrication."
"Bullshit, you didn't say the evidence was fake." Sima Yi was so anxious that he spoke without restraint.
The Dali Temple official sneered, "But I haven't seen the evidence."
"I haven't seen it, so naturally I can't say anything."
"Oh, by the way, Duke Zhao, I have a witness."
After the Dali Temple Minister finished speaking, he looked towards Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Zhao nodded.
The Dali Temple Minister waved his hand outside, and a man walked in.
When he saw that man, Sima Yi was stunned.
Wasn’t he dead? How come he is still alive!
Many people recognized him.
"Your Majesty, I, the guilty minister Tian Qi, kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhao closed his eyes and said, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Qi stood up to express his gratitude, then looked at Sima Yi.
"I am a sixth-rank cabinet reader. When I have nothing to do, I like to imitate the calligraphy of ministers."
"I never thought that this hobby would lead to the destruction of my entire family."
"The Duke of Zhao captured my wife, children and mother and threatened them, forcing me to write several letters between the generals guarding the country and foreign ministers."
"I have no choice but to write this."
"Even though I know the purpose of these letters, I still wrote them when I saw the knife on the child's neck."
"After the general was brought down, the Duke of Zhao killed the entire family of the criminal."
"The criminal's child was only two years old, and he was stabbed in the chest by his own hands."
Tian Qi said this with tears streaming down his face.
The ministers in the hall looked at Duke Zhao and thought to themselves: How cruel.
"After Duke Zhao killed my family, he casually dumped the bodies of my family in a mass grave outside the city."
"It seems that he is not afraid of being discovered. Of course, he is the Duke of Zhao, who is high above everyone else. Even if someone discovers him, what can he do?"
Yes, a sixth-rank official in the court was killed in an instant and thrown into a mass grave.
How did you report the cause of Tian Qi’s death?
Oh, crazy right now.
No one cared about the disappearance of Tian Qi's entire family.
Tian Qi had been an official for several years after all, it was impossible for him to have no contact with his colleagues, and there would always be someone who would visit him once or twice.
He must have been stopped by Duke Zhao.
Tian Qi ignored Sima Yi's vicious look and continued, "But fortunately, the guilty minister was blessed by heaven and did not die."
"I was rescued from a mass grave and escaped."
"But the criminal's family members could not be saved. They all died miserably."
"I originally thought that I would never be able to take revenge."
"I never thought that someone would come to inform the guilty minister that the opportunity for revenge has come."
"The opportunity to overturn the verdict on the general's behalf has come, so I went to the Dali Temple."
"In addition, I also know that it was the Duke of Zhao who had correspondence with the foreign ministers."
Sima Yi couldn't help but jumped up and kicked him with his leg.
"Who on earth are you? How dare you slander an important official of the imperial court?"
"Are you Xu Zhongmu's people? That's why you slander me like this."
Many ministers rolled their eyes.
He is a sixth-rank official and they are all in Ningcheng, so naturally many people know him.
Tian Qi looked at him and said, "Everyone in the cabinet who knows me knows who I am."
"Duke Zhao forgot that you thought I was going to die anyway, so you showed me the letter."
"And I didn't return the letter to you, and you didn't even ask me for it."
After Tian Qi finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I have kept the letter."
When Sima Yi saw him reaching for his clothes, he immediately took out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest.
"How dare you, Duke Zhao, bring a weapon to court!" the Dali Temple Minister shouted.
A group of guards immediately rushed in and surrounded Duke Zhao.
Sima Yi's hands trembled, and he secretly said that he was being impulsive.
Tian Qi spat out blood, looked at Duke Zhao and said with a smile: "Blood debt must be paid with blood."
"You framed the general and caused his entire family to be executed. Now, it's time for you to have your share of punishment."
No matter how powerful Sima Yi was in the past, even if there was no evidence against Tian Qi.
Just for the fact that he pulled out the dagger, he could be stripped of his official position and thrown into prison.
