[One hundred and twenty-three times] Suspicion of monarchs and ministers

He was about to get up again, but when Emperor Wei quickly changed his gaze, he looked at Fu Bo opposite him, and said humbly to the restless middle-aged man: "Mr. Sikong, can the wine and food in the palace be your appetite?"

Emperor Wei's attitude made Jiang Chengyi's expression look a little embarrassed. He knelt half-kneeled and half-up, and his body froze in the air. For a moment, he didn't know whether to sit down or stand up.

Fu Bo, who was sitting opposite, woke up like a dream when he heard a call from the high school. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the front. He saw the unfathomable eyes of Emperor Wei fixed on him and remained motionless.

Fu Bo calmed down his sadness in his eyes, slowly stood up, his face pale, and saluted to the Emperor of Wei: "Your Majesty... The imperial food in the palace is naturally the most delicious thing in the world, how can it not be in line with the appetite of the minister?"

On the steps made of white jade, the sick-looking young man stood up straight and sat with a sneer on his lips: "Lord Sikong has a good appetite, but I am not good."

When he said this, his tone was calm and without any turmoil, but somehow it made everyone present shudder.

Fu Bo's face changed, pretending to be calm, lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, now that autumn is approaching, you must pay attention to your health."

The old fox pretended to be confused and didn't know the intention of Emperor Wei, and lowered his head, for fear of looking at him.

Emperor Wei raised his thick eyebrows and smiled, "It's a matter of trouble for Lord Sikong. I naturally have to maintain my body well in order to stay in the country, do you think... isn't it?"

Fu Bo nodded quickly, lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

Emperor Wei sneered: "Fu Sikong today... does he give me face? I sent General Cui to your mansion but was not driven out? It seems... you only give General Cui face."

Fu Bo stood in a cold sweat, looked panicked, raised his wine glass and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty was joking... I... I refused to enter the palace to meet everyone before, and refused everyone... Yes, there is a reason."

Emperor Wei's sharp eyes swept towards Fu Bo, and stabbed the middle-aged man in the hall like a knife, and said lightly: "Yes, you naturally have a reason, but you shouldn't have given me face like this. I invited you more than ten times before I came to the palace like this. I don't know, but I thought Fu Sikong was recruiting soldiers and horses on my back... and was preparing to seize my country."

The emperor's words were neither light nor heavy, but they fell into Fu Bo's ears, but they were filled with storm.

He instantly noticed something from it, his heart skipped a beat, and a layer of chill appeared behind him.

Emperor Wei coughed again, and his fingers with clear joints were pressed on the table, and his face turned a little worse than before.

He gasped for a long time before gradually calming down and said weakly: "I guess...you know on the way here, why do I hold this banquet today?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone here knew that the important thing was coming.

Jiang Chengyi's forehead beat, and he looked up and met the gaze of Emperor Wei.

Mu Yun beside him was anxious and had long lost the intention to continue to waste with Fu Bo. Just as she got up and was about to kneel down in the center of the hall to tell the emperor about his grievances in the past few months, Jiang Chengyi unexpectedly pulled her and held her hands.

Mu Yun showed surprise and cast a puzzled look at him, his eyes wide open.

Jiang Chengyi didn't look at her. At this moment, she wanted to get up and go in front of her, but Fu Bo snatched her first.

The middle-aged man opposite suddenly stood up from the front of the desk, held his skirt, strided twice, and knelt in the center of the hall, bent his legs and crawled forward for a few meters. He suddenly stopped under the hall very close to the jade steps, and then kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, old minister... I regret it!"

His series of coherent and smooth movements, without even a trace of hesitation, made Jiang Chengyi and Chengge Cliff stunned.

The Emperor of Wei on the high seat slowly narrowed his peach blossom-shaped eyes, and frost appeared in his eyes.

"Fu Sikong, what regret do you have?" he asked slowly.

Fu Bo held the cold jade floor with his hand, raised his head, and cried with regret, "Your Majesty, you just asked... if I know the purpose of your banquet. I... I have known it for a long time, but I have not confessed my guilt to Your Majesty. I am really unforgivable. I have been in the officialdom for many years. Since Your Majesty was young, I have been with me, and have watched Your Majesty stabilize the court and have won the current achievements.

However, I became dissatisfied with my destiny and took advantage of my position... I plundered the people's wealth and was greedy for money and money from the court... After the incident was revealed, I tried every means to cover it up and did not repent at all. I am really ashamed of Your Majesty's hard work for so many years. I have a great sin, so please punish me!"

His words admitted the big case that Mu Yun founded.

Emperor Wei was obviously a little surprised.

Fu Bo privately collected money and set up a money shop in the capital to launder the black money. It has been more than a month since Mu Yun led it out. During this period, no matter how many people the Tingwei Mansion sent to Sikong Mansion to ask questions, Fu Bo was driven out. In the court, Ning Zheng was violently impeached him, and Fu Bo also argued with reason and refused to admit the charge of the storm. Even later, Emperor Wei sent his confidant to go to Sikong Mansion to interrogate people, but was surrounded by Fu's family troops and drove them out.

Fu Bo was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was not afraid of the emperor's power, which once caused an uproar in the court and the people. All the ministers believed that he was proud of his achievements, was rude and despised the ruler's power, and was extremely guilty and should be executed immediately.

But now, Emperor Wei has just held a banquet and asked the few people involved to come and talk. But Fu Bo suddenly pleaded guilty in the hall, which was indeed unexpected.

"Fu Sikong... It has been more than a month since the incident happened. During this period, you dared to disobey my will. In the court, you refuted the impeachment of the ministers with a sharp tongue. Why did you suddenly plead guilty now?" Emperor Wei looked at him with a condescending chin, looking cold.

Fu Bo kowtowed a few times under the steps and cried at the top of his throat: "Your Majesty... How do you let me obey your will! Your Majesty! Since the case of Song Zong, Huai Wang Ningzheng has been out of this case in order not to involve himself, and even to clear himself... Let the gentry under his command actively cooperate with the investigation of the Tingwei Mansion and the Dongfu Mansion, and have won the hearts of most of the people in the country. Now, only Huaiyin Hou Ningnan is dereliction of duty and lost Linhe, and is also in charge of the supervisory guards and besieging Guangxin, which can restrain him, making him unable to gain all the upper hand in the court.

Since the explosion of Deng Yuan’s private house in Laba, King Huai has seized the fault of Your Majesty’s gang members, and the mad dog bites it... This has caused you to lose a lot of money on your side. The Taiwei Mansion has been injured... How can I watch Your Majesty’s gang members be damaged?

Your Majesty, the Jiangzhusi and the Crown Prince left the capital to investigate the case of Song Zong. The Emperor and the Taiwei Ben intercepted him with one force, but he had no choice but to stop him. If the Prince and the Jiangzhusi were in charge of the capital, and Your Majesty asked me to admit his guilt, I would naturally admit it. But the two of them left the capital... How could I easily admit my guilt to the King of Huai in such a turbulent court, leaving Your Majesty alone to face the King of Huai!? Your Majesty... Please forgive me for being stupid and ignorant, and only knowing how to use such radical methods to block the King of Huai's fierce criticism for Your Majesty... Let Your Majesty continue to control the King of Huai and suppress the King of Huai.

Your Majesty asked me why I now plead guilty...?

I know that the prince and the Jiangzhushi have returned to the capital. Seeing someone stalemate beside His Majesty, I should let go of my anxiety and come to repent!”

He spoke full of loyalty and righteousness, and his begging and crying were sincere. His face, full of tears, seemed to have become more and more aged in his teenage moments, which made people feel moved.

Above the hall, Fu Bo's sincere crying echoed.

Jiang Chengyi's face was extremely bad at this moment, and it was also good to describe it as pale as snow.

He grabbed the collar of his clothes that was applied to his knees, and a coldness arose in his heart.

Fu Bo seems to have admitted his crimes at the moment, but invisibly led the wrath of Emperor Wei to the Jiang Mansion. Even Mu Yun, who found his crimes.

It's a great trick to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron.

The old fox simply did not stop and alienated him and the Emperor of Wei, destroying their already unstable trust. Fu Bo blamed him for all the blame for the losses these days, and instead gave himself a cleanse, and said sincerely that he was wholeheartedly considering the emperor, the country, the country, and the country, with good intentions and loyalty. In this way, it seemed as if Mu Yun had ulterior motives to bring out the serious case of Fu's privately investing money in the money house at this time.

Jiang Chengyi faintly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth tightly, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire at this moment.

Fu Bo's remarks not only wanted to pull Jiang Chengyi into the water, but also wanted Emperor Wei to continue to pester Ning Nanyou, so as to divert everyone's attention and reduce Fu's punishment as much as possible.

Mu Yun also heard some clues from this tearful confession. He couldn't help but be shocked, and realized that he might have caused Jiang Chengyi a lot of trouble.

Her little face instantly defeated, and her whole body suddenly became tense.

The careful Jiang Chengyi quickly noticed her uneasiness, so he silently placed his hand behind her and patted her gently twice. When she looked at her, she tried hard to squeeze out a smile and signaled her not to worry with her eyes.

Mu Yun showed guilt in his eyes, lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor on the high platform may not look very good after hearing Fu Bo's cry.

He knew Fu Bo's thoughts clearly in his heart, but he still became suspicious. After thinking about everything that happened within a year since Jiang Chengyi entered Beijing, he felt more and more strange. This Qilin talent seemed to be of no use to him. In a year, his confidants around him had problems one after another... But King Huai only lost a Guangzhou governor. Is this just a coincidence?

Emperor Wei, who had always been suspicious, suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Jiang Chengyi had already joined forces with the King of Huai in private? He deliberately won the war in Western Xinjiang for him and proved to the people of the world that he and the Shuige Shangshe were the one party of the emperor, but in fact he was acting for the King of Huai?
