Chen Hong shook his head and said, "Lord Xue said this, but he was clean. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xue Xingyi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Hong and said, "You may have misunderstood, I didn't want to clean up anything, I stood by and watched the affairs of the Yang family, what does this have to do with my interrogation of you today?"

Chen Hong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Xue Xingyi to admit it so simply, and he didn't even get a fig leaf for himself, which was really a bit unreasonable.

"To recruit or not to recruit Lord Chen?" Xue Xingyi asked with a frown.

Chen Hong came back to his senses and said, "If I am not mistaken, I was sent to prison on the charge of collaborating with the enemy?

Xue Xingyi was unmoved, "This is the county government, I am the county order, and I will decide how the rules are." Let me ask you one last time, do you recruit or not?"

Chen Hong asked curiously: "If I don't recruit, how will you stay?"

Xue Xingyi didn't raise his eyes and said, "Next door is the torture room, so you can do whatever you want." ”

Chen Hong laughed angrily: "Lord Xue is so capable. ”

Xue Xingyi ignored Chen Hong, and just said outside: "Someone!"

The jailer waiting outside the door walked in, "What do you command?"

Xue Xingyi said: "Take the prisoner to the torture room......"

"Wait!" Chen Hong raised his voice to stop Xue Xingyi.

Xue Xingyi raised his eyebrows: "Lord Chen has decided to recruit?"

Chen Hong looked at Xue Xingyi for a while, then shook his head with a smile, "Let them go out." ”

Xue Xingyi waved his hand, and the few jailers who had just come in quietly retreated.

"Lord Xue really wants me to say it?" Chen Hong asked.

Seeing that Xue Xingyi was unmoved, Chen Hong muttered: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I have no grievances with the Yang family, what reason do I have to kill the Yang family? I am naturally acting on orders!"

"On whose orders?" Xue Xingyi paused and continued to ask.

"Whose order do you say?" Chen Hong pointed to the sky.

He Linwan couldn't help but tremble when he heard this next door, and almost bit his lip to bleed. Li Yu found out, and stroked He Linwan's lips distressedly, he put his finger to her lips to prevent her from biting, He Linwan bit Li Yu's finger, Li Yu frowned but didn't say a word, and didn't move his fingers away, just lowered his head and rubbed He Linwan's cheek gently with his forehead.

Under Li Yu's comfort, He Linwan's mood eased up, she let go of her mouth, and found that Li Yu's finger had been bitten by her, and there was a deep tooth mark on it. Li Yu withdrew his hand indifferently, and then gently hugged He Linwan in his arms and stroked her back, He Linwan finally calmed down.

Xue Xingyi was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask, "You killed the father and son of the Yang family on the orders of Your Majesty?"

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Yes! Moreover, if Lord Xue wants to know more details, he should not interrogate me, but should interrogate your father, Xue Ge Lao." After all, he was the one who told His Majesty that the Yang family's father and son had to kill! I was just a knife used to kill people, not the Lord's servants, so why did Lord Xue come to embarrass me?"

He Linwan in Li Yu's arms closed his eyes.

Xue Xingyi was silent for a longer time this time.

Chen Hong asked good-naturedly, "Is there anything else Lord Xue wants to ask?"

Xue Xingyi continued to ask, "Why did Your Majesty kill the father and son of the Yang family. ”

Chen Hong thought for a while and told Xue Xingyi: "Actually...... This matter involved the old Jin King. ”

Xue Xingyi was stunned when he heard this.

Li Yu's face next door changed, and the hand on He Linwan's waist couldn't help but tighten, He Linwan was still leaning on Li Yu's arms, and there was no emotion on his face.

"Does Lord Xue still want to hear it?" Chen Yu looked like he knew everything.

Xue Xingyi raised his eyes: "Say it." ”

Chen Hong said: "After the old King Jin went on the expedition, the first emperor was not in good health for a while, and he had the idea of establishing a prince. Everyone in the court knows that the former emperor's preferred candidate for the crown prince is the old Jin king, and the prestige of the old Jin king in the court is unparalleled. Many people in the court knew about this matter, and Lord Xue must have heard of it. ”

Xue Xingyi said: "The first emperor planned to make him the crown prince after the old Jin king's class returned to the dynasty, but unfortunately the old Jin king did not come back alive. ”

Chen Hong smiled: "Then do you know that the emperor actually even issued an edict to establish a prince?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and even Li Yu was stunned on the spot.

"As you must know, there is a big difference between making an edict and not having one. When the emperor made the edict, the old Jin King was still alive, which means that he was already the crown prince of the iron plate. Chen Hong threw out a thunderbolt in a plain tone.

If the old Jin king had been made the crown prince before his death, then his son would be the emperor's eldest grandson. According to the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the heirs did not establish a long one, if the first emperor did not appoint another prince after the death of the old Jin king, the current Jin king inherited the throne more justifiably than the current emperor.

"I remember that the former emperor made the current crown prince before he died. Xue Xingyi groaned.

Chen Hong smiled when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "The first emperor was seriously ill at that time and was already delirious, saying that he had made His Majesty the crown prince, but there was no edict, only an edict. ”

Chen Hong's words were very obvious, and everyone present understood them. The old emperor may not have had time to appoint the current emperor as the crown prince before he died. Taking a step back, even if the old emperor returned to the light and really gave an edict, it would not be more effective than the edict that was not promulgated.

"You say that the Yang family was implicated in this matter, and what does the Yang family have to do with this matter?" Although Chen Hong went around in a big circle, Xue Xingyi still grasped the point.

"Because this fateful edict was drafted by Taishi Yang!" Chen Hong sighed, "The first emperor planned to wait for the old Jin king to return to the dynasty before announcing this edict, but in the end, he only ushered in the bad news that the old Jin king died in battle. The old Jin king died, the first emperor fell ill, and it is said that the first emperor asked Yang Taishi to destroy the edict during the illness. Later, when he came back with military exploits and inherited the throne, this matter could have been over, but it's a pity that ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Hong looked at Xue Xingyi and smiled slightly: "It's a pity that there was a third person who knew about this matter at that time." ”

Xue Xingyi looked at Chen Hong and asked calmly, "The third person you said is my father?"

Chen Hong nodded: "That's right! It is your father Xue Yuancheng Xue Ge Lao! A few years ago, Xue Ge Lao told His Majesty about the edict, and reminded His Majesty that the edict Yang family is very likely to still be retained and not destroyed. His Majesty has always been very taboo about the Jin Palace, and naturally he will not tolerate the existence of things that threaten his throne, so after searching for the edict to no avail, he had to uproot the Yang family. ”
