Text: Loss of life and disgrace

The other seven classmates who were traveling with him also followed the king's bow and shouted: "I pay homage to your majesty. May your majesty be well!"

With a slight raise of his hand, the attendant at his side immediately shook his fly whisk to call them to their feet, and then everyone dared to get up.

Although it was said that they were entering the palace to meet the emperor, in fact, none of them, including Wang Zhen, dared to raise their heads to take a look. How could they even meet the emperor?

Li Hongkuo looked at Wang Zhen and asked after taking a breath: "Are you the scholar that Wang Shilang said was upright and outspoken?"

It seems that Wang Guozhi had already told Li Hongkuo about his fight against Wang Boliang. Wang Zhen guessed in his mind that Li Hongkuo would look at him with admiration and maybe even reward him?

Therefore, he was full of excitement and loudly said yes.

However, just when Wang Zhen raised his voice and wanted to introduce the situation in detail, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Hongkuo.

The man who heard this was very unhappy and asked Wang Zhen: "As a scholar, have you ever read "Uncle Dong Clings to the Powerful"?"

"Wang Shilang said that you spoke out for your son when he was wronged, so you were bullied? But speaking up for justice is based on righteousness, and your actions are fair! But I see that you are clearly not upright, but want to imitate Pan Yue and worship the dust, so that you will lose your life and be disgraced.

!”

His belief in getting promoted and getting rich suddenly collapsed. Wang Zhen looked up at him in disbelief, and ran into those dark pupils, as if they were sucked into a deep whirlpool, crushed and crushed.

Wang Zhen was so stunned that he couldn't make any sound at all. He just stared blankly at the man in Longting.

"Your Majesty, Grand Duke Ji of Honglu Temple, along with two personal guards and three common people, are seeking an audience outside the palace."

It wasn't until a chamberlain appeared at the corner from the side hall to the Hanguang Hall, and after whispering to the chamberlain supervisor beside the dragon table, the sound of the chamberlain beating Li Hongkuo was heard from above, which pulled Wang Zhen's thoughts away.

He replied, quickly lowered his eyes, and led the people to step aside.

At the summons of the eunuch, a full-time eunuch introduced Ji Kangping into the palace.

Bowing and crossing his hands, Ji Kangping saluted: "Your Majesty, I wish you well. I have lived up to my expectations and found the witnesses at the time. This is the document I compiled after overnight investigation. I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look."

Seeing Ji Kangping pull out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve, the servant who was following the imperial envoy immediately ran down, took the document in his hand, presented it to the imperial envoy, and then handed it over to Li Hongkuo's hand.

This was a very long roll of rice paper, which nearly filled half of the table. Fortunately, the imperial emissary had quick eyesight and took a ruler from the side to press it on.

Looking at what was said above, it was no different from what Ji Kangping reported last night, and what was recorded in the second half was what happened after Ji Kangping escorted Li Jinshu away.

In the lower left corner, there are not only the signatures of Ji Kangping and several personal guards, but also the signatures of many common people who were found by Ji Kangping.

"I beg your majesty to forgive me. A few days ago, according to your majesty's order, I started waiting at Mengzhou Pier to welcome the people from Desolate City."

When Ji Kangping saw that Li Hongkuo had finished reading, he began to speak: "This matter is related to the prestige of the country. I have never dared to slack off. I have never left even half a step from the beginning to the end. However, yesterday afternoon, an envoy from the Xirong embassy came to report.

Some people from Wuxing made trouble and killed people, so I had no choice but to leave for a while."

Wuxing is a small country, located on the border of Qianhu. Now the Qian Kingdom and the Hu Kingdom are at war. The leader of the Wuxing Kingdom is afraid of threatening the safety of his country, so he dispatched two teams of envoys to live in the Xirong Hall of the Qian Kingdom and the Hu Kingdom.

The envoy's account.
