Chapter 1067: The ministers have a gap (1)

Le Chan bit her lip lightly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Dongting murmured and shook his head, "It was not my hand. Although Emperor Gong's return to the court may cause chaos in the court, I will not be able to assassinate him."

After hearing this, the doubts in Le Chan's eyes dissipated.

She believed Zhao Dongting very much.

Then, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Master, who do you think will be the one who made the move?"

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. Since the Yuan Dynasty sent Emperor Gong back to the court, there should be no reason to harm him. And those people in Dali should have expected that Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others would make our Song court confused after returning to the court. Logically, they had no reason to assassinate Emperor Gong."

Then he said, "But your eyes just now awakened me. It is impossible for them to do this."

“Why?”

Le Chan was a little confused.

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly and said, "Think about it, even you thought it was my order to take action. What would the rest of the world think?"

Le Chan's expression gradually froze, and deep worries appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Dongting said again: "I am afraid that it will be difficult to clear if I jump into the Yellow River this time."

At this moment, he was a little upset.

Killing Zhao Xian is definitely not a trivial matter for the entire Song Dynasty court. Just wait for the news to spread, how will the people in the court view him Zhao Dongting?

Will anyone trust him like Lechan?

Zhao Dongting knew that Lu Xiufu and others still cared about Zhao Xian very much. It is still hard to say whether they would do anything extreme because of this, but it is definitely inevitable that they will have a gap with themselves.

This is something he would never want to see.

The Song Dynasty was able to develop to such a level in such a short time because of the unity of the king and his ministers!

Putting the letter paper on an oil lamp to light it. Watching the letter paper burning slowly and the yellow and green flames, Zhao Dongting frowned and fell into deep thought.

Now we have to investigate who killed Zhao Xian. It is difficult for others to do it in Changsha. The most urgent task is to find a way to prove your innocence.

Even if he is the emperor, he will be unable to bear the matter of being angry and resentful to his brother.

He didn't want to create a prosperous era like Li Shimin, but he was still carrying the charge of killing his brother until his death.

This has a great impact on the whole world, and it may even cause turmoil in the world.

However, in just one night, Zhao Dongting obviously couldn't think of any way to prove his innocence. This matter was almost a dead end.

No one can prove who killed Zhao Xian, but most people think that Zhao Dongting killed him, because he had the greatest motivation.

Only when Zhao Xian died could his throne be free from any threat.

The next day, it was still the morning when Zhao Dongting ordered Eunuch Liu to bring several humeral ministers in the court to the imperial study room.

The heads and deputy heads of the State Council, the Military Affairs Bureau, the Law Bureau, and the Supervision Bureau were all present.

By then, Zhao Dongting was already in the imperial study room, looking tired, but he could not hide his deep solemnity.

This made Lu Xiufu and others who had just entered the house frown slightly.

They rarely see the emperor so frowning, especially since the emperor has married Miss Lechan recently, he has been smiling every day.

"Long live the emperor!"

Everyone saluted Zhao Dongting. As soon as they stood up, Lu Xiufu couldn't help asking: "Master, what happened?"

Without big events, Zhao Dongting would not announce them all to the Imperial Study Room. On the way, they had actually expected something big to happen.

Zhao Dongting looked up, his eyes fell on everyone, and said, "Do you believe in my character?"

Lu Xiufu and others all showed a slight confusion.

Wang Wenfu said: "I believe in the emperor. But why does the emperor emphasize this?"

Zhao Dongting clasped the desk with his fingers rhythmically, and at this time he was still a little upset and said, "Emperor Gong was assassinated on his way back to the court."

"this……"

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others all changed their colors.

They are all people who have met Zhao Xian.

Although this is not a bolt from the blue for them, it is undoubtedly a major event that can shake their souls from the sky.

The dignified Emperor Song was actually assassinated.

Everyone was stunned, with a look of surprise on their faces.

In this way, after tens of seconds, they finally recovered.

But even Wang Wenfu, who just said that he trusted Zhao Dongting, had his eyes slightly changed when he looked at Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting was truly the biggest suspicion of the assassination of Zhao Xian. As long as he heard about this, anyone would subconsciously think of him first.

But no one dared to question Zhao Dongting directly.

Lu Xiufu swallowed, his eyes were still a little dull, and he asked, "Why would you dare to ask the emperor, the empress dowager and the others..."

Zhao Dongting frowned and said, "They are fine, the thief just assassinated Emperor Gong."

Then he raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows.

Lu Xiufu and others were speechless again.

The thief actually only assassinated Emperor Gong, and it seemed a bit intriguing.

Zhao Dongting said in a low voice: "I know you all doubt that this matter was my doing, but I can swear to the sky that this matter has nothing to do with me. The masters of Wuding Hall have been in the palace these days, and you all know it."

But this explanation is undoubtedly pale.

As the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who knew that in addition to the masters of Wudingtang, did he work hard for him in the world?

Lu Xiufu and others are all people who have experienced the storm, and they will not abolish their suspicion of Zhao Dongting because of this sentence.

They are in a mess now.

The imperial study room quietly fell silent again.

Zhao Dongting rubbed his eyebrows in distress, and after a long time, he said again: "I don't expect you to believe my words. The truth will always come out. I cannot prove my innocence now, but the court cannot be in chaos. Do you have any good ideas in your mind to minimize the impact of this matter?"

Lu Xiufu and others remained silent.

After finally speaking, Lu Xiufu just bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister requests to leave first."

When Empress Dowager Xie was in power, he was the humerus in the court. At this moment, Zhao Dongting was the most suspicious. He was afraid that the most suspicious of Zhao Dongting among the people.

And doubt will lead to dissatisfaction.

This old minister, who was loyal to the royal family of the Song Dynasty, was using his first step to vent his dissatisfaction with Zhao Dongting.

"good."

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, but he was helpless.
