"It's a holy decree!"
Zhang Qian exclaimed.
"That's right!
It's the Divine Decree!
Qin Huan smiled proudly and raised his head and said, "As long as you go to summon Princess Elizabeth with the holy decree in hand, forgive her for not daring not to come!"
” Although Elizabeth is a princess of England, it stands to reason that she can ignore the holy decree of the Great Chu Emperor, but there is a saying called following the customs of the country, since it is on other people's land, it is necessary to respect the customs of others, of course, the emperor can not give a holy decree to foreign guests at will, if the foreign envoy is unhappy, it is easy to affect diplomatic relations.
Zhen Jian frowned slightly, looked at Qin Huan with a solemn face, and said coldly: "It seems that Lord Qin has been prepared for a long time, and he is bent on killing me." ” Qin Huan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You are self-inflicted, you can't live!"
” Zhen Jian snorted coldly: "What the truth is, Lord Qin knows better than anyone else in his heart. ” Qin Huan said: "The old man doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to have a verbal dispute with you."
He said that he held up the holy decree with both hands and said, "Liao Yan, don't you send someone with the holy decree to invite Princess Elizabeth to come to the church to testify!"
” Liao Yan hurriedly stepped down from the jury seat, stepped forward to respectfully accept the holy decree, and said, "The old man will personally bring people there, and he will definitely invite Princess Elizabeth."
Then he went out with the decree in his hand.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, a shout came from outside the hall: "Princess Elizabeth has arrived!"
” Then I saw Princess Elizabeth walk into the court, followed by Liao Yan and the Duke of Wales.
Zhang Qian immediately arranged the seats, let Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales sit down, and Liao Yan returned to his jury seat.
Continuing the trial, Zhang Qian asked Elizabeth: "Princess Elizabeth, do you recognize this person?"
He pointed to Zhen Jian as he spoke.
"Naturally."
Elizabeth nodded, "He is Lord Zhen Jianzhen, the official of the Protocol House, and he has always entertained us. ” Zhang Qian said again: "Lord Jia Zheng, the temple secretary of Honglu Temple, said that Zhen Jian broke into your room the night before yesterday and defiled you, and was arrested by Lord Jia early the next morning, but is there such a thing?"
” "Defile me?"
Elizabeth asked with a blank expression, "What do you mean to defile me?"
Do you stain my clothes?
” Hearing this, Jia Zheng said anxiously: "It's the kind that sleeps with you, sleeping in the same bed!"
It seems that he is really in a hurry, and it is insulting to say such vulgar words to the princess.
Elizabeth looked at Jia Zheng angrily when she heard this, and said: "Lord Jia, how can you talk nonsense, although our women in England are different from you women in Chu, but they are also very important to their innocence, besides, I am a dignified princess of England, how can you slander me like this, and frame a good person like Zhen Jian." ” Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and shouted depressedly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Xia Guan is helping you, Zhen Jian has defiled you, how can he be a good person!"
” Qin Huan on the side frowned at this time, he didn't expect the princess to commit perjury, but it didn't matter, he estimated that the princess was afraid of ruining her reputation, but fortunately he had been prepared and invited the emperor here, so he got up and arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the lower official Qin Huan is polite." ” Princess Elizabeth turned her head to look at Qin Huan and asked, "Who are you?"
” Qin Huan said: "Xia Guan is the left prime minister of Great Chu, and the official worships the Privy Council, and is the head of the hundred officials of Great Chu. ” Hearing this, Elizabeth hurriedly bowed her head slightly and said, "It turned out to be the Prime Minister." ” Qin Huan said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you go to the back hall with the lower official, the lower official has a few words, and I want to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess alone." ” Elizabeth was a little panicked when she heard this, and wanted to refuse, so she instinctively glanced at Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian nodded slightly, and she also nodded: "Okay."
Then he got up.
Qin Huan took Elizabeth into the back hall, only to see that the emperor was at the door of the back hall, followed by several guards in disguise.
Qin Huan saluted the emperor, the emperor nodded, walked to the back hall, and confirmed that the people outside could not hear them, and then the emperor turned to look at Qin Huan and Elizabeth.
Qin Huan introduced: "Princess Elizabeth, the one in front of you is the emperor of our Great Chu. ” Elizabeth was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect to see the emperor here, and hurriedly bowed: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu." ” "Princess Elizabeth excuses."
The emperor spread his hands slightly and said, "Princess, I didn't protect you well, and you lost your innocence in our Dachu and were tarnished, but don't worry, I will severely punish Zhen Jian and give you a satisfactory answer!"
” Hearing this, Elizabeth looked up at the emperor and asked in surprise, "Why do you want to punish Zhen Jian?"
He's a good guy. ” When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned and looked at Qin Huan.
Qin Huan hurriedly said beside Elizabeth: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we know that you pay attention to honor, since you said in court that Zhen Jian did not defile you, we have no objection, but the truth of the matter always has to be clarified, and the bad guys should also be punished, you can rest assured to tell the emperor the truth, the emperor will make decisions for you, and will never spread this matter." ” The emperor nodded very cooperatively and said: "That's right, I am the king of a country, and I will never spread it if you tell me the truth honestly." ” Elizabeth bit her lip, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, you must severely punish the bad guys!"
” "Hmm."
The Emperor nodded vigorously, "I will punish the bad guys severely." ” Qin Huan was extremely happy when she heard this, thinking that she was going to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth said: "Jia Zheng is a bad person, he framed Zhen Jian, and his reputation was damaged, he is a big bad person." ” Qin Huan was stunned when he heard this, and the emperor was also stunned.
After the emperor was stunned for a moment, he frowned and shook his head and said: "Impossible, how could Jia Zheng frame Zhen Jian, he is a dignified four-grade Honglu Siqing, Zhen Jian is just a small seven-grade protocol house, why did he frame Zhen Jian?"
” "Because I'm sick."
Elizabeth said, "Some time ago, I was sick, Zhen Jian wanted to ask the imperial doctor to treat me, but Jia Zheng did not allow it, he said that without the permission of the Duke of Wales, he could not send a doctor from Da Chu to diagnose me, but the Duke of Wales did not understand the language of Da Chu and could not communicate with the people of Honglu Temple, fortunately Zhen Jian understood English and talked to the Duke of Wales, and the Duke of Wales agreed that Zhen Jian would ask the doctor of Da Chu to treat me, but Jia Zheng did not believe that Zhen Jian understood English, so he refused to invite the imperial doctor to treat me.
Later, Zhen Jian could only treat me personally and cured my illness, now many people know that Zhen Jian understands English, Jia Zheng regretted it, he should be afraid that Zhen Jian would tell the emperor about this, so he wanted to get rid of Zhen Jian first. ” These words were taught by Zhen Jian, and although her Chu Chinese was not very good, the emperor could understand what she was trying to express.
The emperor frowned and looked at Qin Huan and asked, "There is such a thing?"
The princess is sick, why don't I know?
” "This ......"
Qin Huan was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, so he could only sneer, "The old minister doesn't know." ” The emperor snorted coldly in displeasure: "Jia Zheng, this dog thing, is really bold!"

” Qin Huan immediately panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak." ” The emperor glanced at Qin Huan when he heard this, although he was reluctant, but he still walked to the side with Qin Huan, Qin Huan whispered beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, Jia Zheng has always been obedient and conscientious, he should not do such a ridiculous thing, this matter is not trivial, don't listen to the one-sided words of a foreign princess, the old minister thinks, it is better to invite the palace people to check the princess's body, if she is a virgin, it proves that Zhen Jian is innocent, if she is not a virgin, it proves that what the princess said is false." ” "Ridiculous!"
Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, "She is the princess of a country and our honored guest, even if I kill Jia Zheng, it is impossible for me to examine her body, this is an insult to her!"
” Qin Huan suddenly cried and mourned when he heard this, he didn't expect it, he never thought that things would develop like this, he worked hard to invite the emperor and Princess Elizabeth, but in the end he actually made a wedding dress for Zhen Jian, he couldn't figure out why Princess Elizabeth wanted to commit perjury, so he couldn't help but kill Zhen Jian, Jia Zheng was also charged with false accusation and dereliction of duty, and most importantly, the emperor also participated in the hearing of this case, and it was impossible for him to save Jia Zheng.
The emperor returned to Elizabeth and said, "Princess Elizabeth, thank you for coming to testify and prove Zhen Jian's innocence, I actually value him very much, he didn't make a mistake, I am very happy." ” Elizabeth said happily: "Does the emperor also value Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian is indeed a very good official, he does things perfectly, there is no place to find fault, the Duke of Wales rarely praises people, but often praises Zhen Jian." ” "Yes!"
Hearing this, the Emperor laughed happily, "This also shows that I am very discerning. ” Elizabeth said: "But the Duke of Wales is more curious, Zhen Jian is obviously a very capable person, why would he be such a small official." ” This sentence was taught by Zhen Jian, and naturally she was promoted.
The Emperor smiled awkwardly and said, "He is too young, but Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales have praised him so much, which means that he has really done a good job, and I will promote him soon." ” Princess Elizabeth smiled slightly, and then asked, "Then Your Majesty, when will the Duke of Wales and I officially meet you?"
” The Emperor smiled and said, "When this case is over, please wait patiently with the Duke of Wales for a few more days." ” "Okay."
Elizabeth nodded.
The emperor said, "Okay, you go to the front hall, you are an important witness." ” "Yes."
Elizabeth bowed slightly, turned and went to the front hall.
Qin Huan was really in a dilemma at the moment, and asked weakly: "Your Majesty......
The case ......"
The emperor said: "How to judge it."
As he spoke, he walked to a book table, found a piece of paper, wrote down four words, "Dismissal and Investigation", and handed it to Qin Huan.
Qin Huan took it in a daze, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, these four words were naturally given to Jia Zheng.
The emperor said: "I still have a lot of notes to review, so I'll leave first."
With that, he turned around and left with Ouchi's guards.
Qin Huan froze in place, wanting to tear the paper in his hand to shreds, but he didn't dare, this was the emperor's will.
"Zhen Jian......"
Qin Huan raised his head slightly, and said to himself helplessly, "Why is your life so hard!"
