Chapter 1074: Master Ling Takes Action
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the throne room, the dragon might rose.
It had been a long time since the civil and military officials saw Emperor Jing
Xuan so angry.
In fact, Emperor Jing Xuan had always been a benevolent ruler. He was very tolerant of the officials and the commoners.
All of a sudden, the civil and military officials were stunned.
However, on second thought, if Wei Qing was indeed Zhuge Qing, they would find it difficult to accept it if they were His Majesty.
Wasn’t it treasonous for a subject to become a strategist for another country?
It would be strange if His Majesty did not get angry.
Everyone looked at Wei Xu and his son at the same time. Even the generals who had stood up for them and begged them to send troops to suppress the Southern Border fell silent.
Su Yuan was not in a hurry to stand up. He looked like this had nothing to do with him.
A civil official whispered, “Lord Su, the Wei family is on good terms with the Su family. Aren’t you going to plead for them?”
Su Yuan said, “If they’re innocent, I don’t have to plead for them. If they’re really guilty, as His Majesty’s minister, I shouldn’t plead for them.”
The civil servant was speechless.
To be honest, after the Qin family’s incident, many people wanted to pull the Marquis of Zhenbei down, but they could not find anything on this family.
Su Yuan’s father and son were both generals, but Su Yuan was a civil servant in the Ministry of Works and was more tactful than anyone else.
Wei Xu would not be intimidated by Emperor Jing Xuan’s dragon might.
The blood of the previous dynasty’s Emperor Wu flowed in the Wei family. In fact, it was unknown who was more noble.
However, Wei Xu was not a reckless person who was easily angered by Emperor Jing Xuan.
He was so calm that it was terrifying.
“Your Majesty, you must be joking. How can my son be the number one strategist of the Western Jin? My son is dedicated to the Great Zhou and will definitely not do anything to harm the Great Zhou.”
To be honest, helping the Western Jin was not equivalent to harming the Great Zhou.
Emperor Jing Xuan slapped him and gave him a sweet date. “Wei Xu, this was done by Wei Qing alone. I won’t take my anger out on you, let alone the Wei family.”
Wei Liulang secretly clenched his fists.
Wei Ting shook his hand to calm him down.
Wei Liulang hated Emperor Jing Xuan.
In order to eliminate the root of the problem, Emperor Jing Xuan killed Minmin.
The hatred of killing his wife was irreconcilable!
Wei Xu said neither servile nor overbearing, “Your Majesty keeps saying that my son is a strategist of the Western Jin. May I ask if Your Majesty has evidence?”
Seeing that Wei Xu was so calm, Emperor Jing Xuan realized that he seemed to have gone a little overboard.
He calmed his tone and said gently, “You’re loyal ministers of the Great Zhou. I naturally won’t frame you. Men, summon King Rui to an audience.”
Xiao Shunyang came to the throne room and stood beside Wei Xu. He bowed to Emperor Jing Xuan. “Greetings, Father.”
“Stand up and explain what you discovered in the Southern Wilderness in detail in front of the civil and military officials.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Shunyang turned around and glanced at Wei Xu and his sosn before looking at the entire court. “As everyone knows, after Father learned that General Wei might be alive, he agreed to Wei Ting going south to look for Father without a word. Father’s reliance on General Wei can be seen by the sun and moon. In order to be foolproof, Father ordered me to go with him. If necessary, I can expose my identity as the prince to protect the father and sons.”
Wei Liulang wanted to cry.
How did he come up with such disgusting words?
Xiao Shunyang continued, “On the way there, I saw two very powerful guards. One was like Sixth Young Master Wei, with a golden arm on his right arm, and the other was a powerful death warrior.”
A sacrificial soldier?
Golden arm?
Wasn’t… wasn’t this Wei Chen and Wei Yan?
Everyone looked at the brothers.
Wei Chen glanced at Xiao Shunyang indifferently. “Your Highness, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense. I’ve also seen the two guards you mentioned. Mr. Zhuge brought them from the Western Jin. One of them is indeed a death warrior. As for the golden arm you’re talking about, Prince Rui probably saw wrongly.”
Wei Liulang did not deliberately expose his golden arm in front of Xiao Shunyang.
Ghostfear said, “I’ll just ask Prince Rui. Did you take off their masks and see that they have the faces of me and my sixth brother?”
Xiao Shunyang frowned.
Ghostfearchuckled and said, “Looks like Your Highness didn’t see their faces clearly. Then can I think that Your Highness doesn’t have enough evidence?”
Xiao Shunyang said seriously, “I didn’t see your faces clearly. Take it that it was my mistake at that time, but I heard Wei Ting call Mr. Zhuge Second Brother with my own ears!”
Ghostfear narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was convenient to accuse him and Wei Yan, but the real person they wanted to deal with was Wei Qing.
First, he had to admit that his evidence was insufficient, making people feel that he was upright enough. If he went to bite Wei Qing now, no one would think that he was lying.
Wei Liulang gritted his teeth in anger and muttered to Wei Ting, “When did you let Second Brother hear you? He’s clearly framing you!”
Last time, Xiao Shunyang followed him to Changliu Lane. Wei Ting called him Mr. Zhuge and did not call him Second Brother at all!
Even if he unwittingly called out to his Second Brother after that, Xiao Shunyang would not have the chance to hear him because he had been thrown to the mine by Wei Ting.
As the two of them spoke, Xiao Shunyang suddenly looked over.
Wei Liulang rolled his eyes.
Wei Ting met Xiao Shunyang’s gaze openly without any guilt.
Wei Xu said, “I risked my life to return to His Majesty’s side. I didn’t expect to be slandered like this. Fortunately, Mr. Zhuge is still in the capital. Otherwise, our Wei family wouldn’t have been able to wash away this dirty water today.”
Emperor Jing Xuan frowned.
A trace of confusion flashed across Xiao Shunyang’s eyes.
The civil and military officials whispered.
Wei Xu said firmly, “Your Majesty, Mr. Zhuge is staying at Xiangyun Inn on Vermilion Bird Avenue. Please invite Mr. Zhuge over and clear my son’s name! ” Xiao Shunyang looked at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing said, “Why are you looking at me? I’m not Zhuge Qing. The real Zhuge
Qing is outside the palace. Your Highness, why don’t vou confront him and see when my seventh brother will address him as Second brother!”
Wei Ting shouted, “Second Brother, I will only greet you that way. If I dare to call anyone else Second Brother, let me be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Emperor Jing Xuan was caught between a rock and a hard place and had no choice but to send someone to Xiangyun Inn.
The civil and military officials never dreamed that they would see such a big show in their lives.
In the past, each of them was more listless than the other in the court. Today, they were more energetic.
Not long after, Mr. Zhuge arrived at the throne room.
He was pushed in by a royal guard in a wheelchair. He wore a silver mask that the ministers were not unfamiliar with.
There was a sword stuck in the back of his wheelchair. It was the Dragon Spring Sword bestowed by the Emperor of the Western Jin.
“Zhuge Qing greets His Majesty.” He sat in the wheelchair and bowed slightly. Emperor Jing Xuan sized up her suspiciously. “You’re Zhuge Qing?”
“Exactly,” he said.
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Take off your mask.”
He raised his hand and slowly took off the silver mask on his face, revealing a thin jade-like face.
Impossible. That person’s information could not be wrong.
The real Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing.
But who was this person?
Ling Yun said calmly, “May I know why Your Majesty summoned me?”
