Chapter 52 [23 Don't take advantage of your tongue! 】
As soon as Wei Wuji said this, a thousand waves were stirred up in an instant.
All the civil and military officials in the court narrowed their eyes at the same time.
When they looked at the three envoys of Zhao State, everyone looked like "I just knew it was them who did it."
They also knew that Wei Wuji had feelings for Chu State.
In the face of such major issues, Wei Wuji would never slander him.
Because once you do this, it will be equivalent to provoking war between the two countries.
Wei Wuji once saved the State of Chu, but now, the Emperor of Chu treats him well, so he has no reason to do so.
Therefore, all the civil and military officials of the court believed in Wei Wuji.
If Wei Wuji had not had definite evidence, he would not have said this in the dynasty.
"Sure enough, it was them, the people of Zhao who were secretly making trouble behind their backs!"
Li Xiang, the prime minister of Chu, snorted coldly when he heard this and stood up directly from the banquet.
He bowed to Emperor Chu, and he advised with a strong voice: "Your Majesty, I have guessed early in the morning that these people from Zhao came to our State of Chu this time, and their purpose was not good."
"They just arrived in our Chu State yesterday, but last night, His Highness the Little Princess happened to be assassinated. This is a coincidence!"
"I think what the prince-consort said is true. This matter is absolutely unrelated to their Zhao State!"
"Your Majesty must not trust such a despicable person."
"You can't form an alliance with the wolf-like ambitions like Zhao State, Your Majesty!"
While pointing at the three envoys of Zhao State, Li Xiang persuaded him with great thought.
His face was full of seriousness and piety.
"Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is very true!"
Seeing this, Wang Dafu, the general of Chu State, immediately followed him and bowed to the Emperor Chu to advise him, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"In order to allow His Majesty to agree to form an alliance with them, they actually used the despicable means of assassinating the little princess to achieve their goals. That would definitely be a ill-intentioned plan for our Chu State!"
"Your Majesty also think twice and be sure to punish these vulgar and shameless evildoers in Zhao State!"
Seeing this, the other civil and military officials immediately agreed.
"Please think twice..."
"Please think twice..."
The sound of admonitions suddenly shook the Wende Hall.
They have always remembered the kindness of Emperor Chu to them.
What's more, Wei Wuji personally identified that the assassination of the little princess was done by the people of Zhao.
Therefore, they relied on their trust in Wei Wuji, and their strong opposition early in the morning, and their idea of forming an alliance with Zhao to attack Chu, kept persuading them.
Seeing this, Emperor Chu waved his hand meticulously: "All my dear friends should calm down first. Let's figure it out slowly first."
"Your Majesty's wise!"
While saluting all the officials to thank them, they sat down again.
But after seeing this scene, the three envoys of Zhao State became extremely red and blue in an instant.
I felt uneasy and uneasy inside.
"We sent the dead soldier to assassinate Chu Yanran last night, wouldn't he really have it all?"
"If he confesses, then will our plan of travel be failed?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible!"
"No matter what kind of harsh torture they use, he will not admit it!"
"That's right, that man has been an orphan since he was a child, and he is also a dead soldier that our Zhao State has worked hard to train. He can't betray us!"
"So, what are the words Wei Wuji and Emperor Chu who deliberately deceive us?"
"It should be that!"
"Otherwise, why didn't they bring people up directly from the beginning? Instead, they used civil and military officials to show their power to us? Want us to admit it on our own initiative?"
The three of them looked at each other, then nodded secretly, and made up their minds at the same time.
Following closely behind, their faces returned to calm.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, you can't just rely on the one-sided words of the Prince Consort of Wei to make people sow discord and wantonly put this crime on our Zhao State!"
The leader of the envoy first bowed to Emperor Chu and said indifferently.
Then, he smiled and turned around, looking at Wei Wuji opposite him.
After shaking his sleeves, the envoy of Zhao asked with a serious look on his face: "I dare to ask Prince Wei, since you said that you have caught the assassin, why not bring the assassin up and let him confront us in person?"
"good!"
Another envoy of Zhao State stood up and smiled indifferently, "Mr. Wei, let's ask yourself, this time I was ordered to form an alliance with your country, that would be very thoughtful."
"But I don't expect that when you come, you will be charged with a 'false' crime!"
"Since Prince Wei is so confident, why not bring the assassin up?"
"We just need to face it, and then we will know it in an instant when we are familiar with it!"
Seeing this, the last envoy of Zhao looked at Wei Wuji gloomy and snorted coldly.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."
He bowed to Emperor Chu, and then he said: "We are on your order and come to form an alliance with your country with full sincerity. His Majesty the Emperor Chu should also understand the truth that the truth is lost, but!"
The topic suddenly changed, and he looked at Wei Wuji.
"The Prince of Wei has no evidence and slandered us without any evidence. He also asked His Majesty the Emperor of Chu to give us an explanation."
"We Zhao State's reputation is not something that anyone can slander wantonly!"
With a fierce look on his sleeve, the three of them carried their hands on their backs, their faces full of anger.
An invisible threat even emanated from their conversation.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, all the officials in Wende Hall couldn't help but look at Wei Wuji, hoping that Wei Wuji would come up with evidence as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it is very likely to cause war between the two countries.
Although they believed in Wei Wuji very much.
Seeing this, Emperor Chu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly. While looking at Wei Wuji, he said softly, "Wuji, do you have conclusive evidence? Don't talk nonsense."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Wei Wuji nodded and smiled, looked at the three envoys of Zhao State, and then shook his head and said, "If there is no conclusive evidence, I dare not say anything. After all, Zhao State is a big country like Yan State!"
"you……"
When the envoy of Zhao heard Wei Wuji's words, he was sarcastic, and at the same time he hinted at them that Zhao was as despicable as Yan's, and his expression was fierce and twisted.
After all, Yan State had used the visit of the envoy to secretly annex Chu State.
Wei Wuji said this obviously because he believed that their State of Zhao and State of Yan were no different.
"Mr. Wei!"
The envoy of Zhao, led by the leader, stared at Wei Wuji fiercely and said furiously, "You can eat random food, but you can't talk randomly."
"Don't compare our Zhao State with the despicable country like Yan State!"
"If you have any evidence, just take it out, don't just show off your verbal advantage!"
"No, Prince Wei!"
Another envoy also snorted coldly, "If you can't come up with conclusive evidence later, today, if you don't give us an explanation, we will never stop doing this!"
