Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 704: The scapegoat, the 8th Wise King!

"Lord Jiang, what do you think of what happened today?"

After Emperor Dajing finished drinking the ginseng tea, he suddenly looked at Jiang Chen.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the assassination?"

"I think they are just some scoundrels, nothing to worry about."

Jiang Chen said respectfully.

But Emperor Dajing shook his head.

"No!"

"I'm not talking about the assassination, but the collapse of the imperial mausoleum!"

"You hadn't arrived yet, so you didn't see the might of that devastating force!"

"then……"

Emperor Dajing recounted the bombing of the imperial mausoleum in vivid detail.

But how could he know that the one who blew up the imperial mausoleum was none other than Jiang Chen in front of him!

"What!? There is such a thing!?"

Jiang Chen was extremely shocked when he heard what Emperor Dajing said!

"Alas, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"But now... now the facts are before my eyes, I can't help but believe it!"

Emperor Dajing sighed helplessly.

He asked himself, since he ascended the throne as emperor, he had not done anything that would anger God or people!

How come there are so many things to find him?!

First there was the drought and plague some time ago, and now it’s a punishment from God!

Could it be that he, the emperor, really did something wrong! ?

"Your Majesty, I think this must be a punishment from heaven!"

"Even if it's a punishment from heaven, I can't die!"

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"Hmm? What do you mean, Mr. Jiang?"

Emperor Dajing was slightly startled when he heard Jiang Chen's words.

He felt that there was something else behind Jiang Chen's words, but he really didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, I think the Eighth Sage King must have obtained some strange means and is deliberately harming Your Majesty!"

"His purpose is to usurp the throne and rebel!"

"Your Majesty, please send troops to destroy the Eighth Sage King!"

Jiang Chen said respectfully.

……

"this……!?"

Emperor Dajing was shocked when he heard Jiang Chen's words!

He naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant!

Jiang Chen is going to push this matter onto the Eighth Wise King!

Jiang Chen's move was ruthless enough!

However, this seems to be the only good solution now!

By blaming the matter on the Eighth Wise Kings, he could not only take the opportunity to get rid of the Eighth Wise Kings, but also erase the matter of heaven's punishment!

This is simply killing two birds with one stone!

"Your Majesty Jiang, what you said makes sense!"

"Go tell this to Lord Zhang and ask him to investigate it thoroughly!"

Emperor Dajing said coldly!

"Yes! I obey the order!"

Jiang Chen heard the words of Emperor Dajing and respectfully accepted the order and left.

And when Jiang Chen came to the imperial mausoleum again, it was already heavily guarded!

But when they saw that it was Jiang Chen who came, the guards respectfully made way for him.

Jiang Chen successfully entered the imperial mausoleum and came to Eunuch Zhang!

"I've met Mr. Zhang!"

When Jiang Chen saw Eunuch Zhang, he smiled and saluted.

"Haha, Lord Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."

"I wonder why Lord Jiang came here?"

"If I remember correctly, His Majesty should have handed this place over to me to handle, right?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled coldly.

Because this happened in public, the two of them were still acting in a hostile relationship.

"Haha, Lord Zhang has misunderstood. I am not here to investigate, but to convey His Majesty's oral instructions!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty's order?"

Eunuch Zhang frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Yes! Your Majesty's order!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty said that this must have been done by the Eighth Sage King!"

"It was the Eighth Sage King who deliberately framed Your Majesty in order to rebel and destroy Your Majesty's reputation!"

……

"kindness!?"

When Eunuch Zhang heard Jiang Chen's words, his expression suddenly changed!

Of course he understood what Jiang Chen meant!

No matter who caused this so-called divine punishment and how it was caused!

But in the end, it was the Eight Wise Kings who took the blame!

"Haha, your majesty is wise! I just investigated and indeed found that this matter is related to the Eighth Wise King!"

"I will report this to His Majesty right away!"

Eunuch Zhang smiled faintly and then left the imperial mausoleum.

But Jiang Chen did not follow Eunuch Zhang.

He left alone and returned to Kyoto Prefecture.

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Jiang Chen coming back, Xu Meng and Li Yan rushed over!

"Well, let's go in and talk!"

Jiang Chen nodded to the two of them, then led them into the study.

After arriving at the study, Jiang Chen first looked at Xu Meng.

"Brother Xu, how are our five brothers doing?"

"Your Majesty! Fortunately, although they all suffered some injuries, they all managed to escape!"

"However, they were not injured by the guards, but they ran slower after the fire was set..."

When Xu Meng said this, in addition to being excited, he was also a little embarrassed.

Jiang Chen had already told them to run away quickly after lighting the fire!

But those people still ran slowly.

It is said that they were afraid that it might not be lit, so they wanted to go back and take a look!

As a result... everyone was blown away by the air wave!

"My Lord, you are so amazing!"

"If we use that power to destroy the heavens and the earth to attack cities and strongholds, it will be invincible!"

While Xu Meng was feeling embarrassed, he also thought about how powerful those explosives were!

As a military general, he naturally saw the role of these things in battle!

This is simply too powerful!

……

"Haha, what Brother Xu said is right. Future battles will be very different from before!"

"In the future, we will definitely be able to unify this land!"

Jiang Chen smiled confidently!

Xu Meng and Li Yan were even more excited when they heard Jiang Chen's words!

Especially Li Yan!

He was once suppressed to the point where he was not even as good as a small minion, and lived without any dignity at all!

But things are different after following Jiang Chen!

Not only will you be treated well, but you can also become a loyal minister!

From now on, he will definitely be the best in the world!

"My Lord, what shall we do next?"

Li Yan looked at Jiang Chen excitedly.

"No hurry, what we have to do next is to wait!"

"I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will announce the dispatch of troops against the Eighth Wise King at the morning court tomorrow!"

"By the time……"

When Jiang Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but smile!

"My Lord, you must bring your subordinates with you this time!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Xu Meng took the initiative to step forward and ask for the mission!

Xu Meng has been immersed in it for too long!

He really wants to return to the battlefield and show his prowess!

"Hahaha, Brother Xu, don't worry, you and my brother will go with me this time!"

"The Eighth Wise King is not easy to deal with! I won't feel at ease if I don't take you with me!"

Jiang Chen laughed out loud.

Xu Meng and Xu Yunchang can be left out for other matters.

But these two people must be taken to war!

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xu Meng was extremely excited!

"Li Yan, after we leave, Kyoto Prefecture will be handed over to you!"

"You should train Liu Wanli well. Maybe he can be used in the future!"

"Yes!"

Li Yan accepted the order respectfully.

However, Li Yan's expression immediately became hesitant.
