Chapter 64: A wave is not settled, and another wave is rising
Wei Mingchun is also a smart person, so he cried and shouted with a sad face: "Father, the son is wronged! Someone must have framed the son." ”
"Framed?" Emperor Shou was angry, "The criminal department personally tried the case, the evidence is conclusive, and I have seen the evidence of the witnesses, and you still say that you are wronged?"
"Father, what is the place of the Criminal Department, how can Wang Yuan, a civil official, withstand the punishment? If someone tortures him to make him testify against his son, and detains this basin of sewage on his son's head, how can he resist it?" Wei Mingchun became more and more angry the more he spoke, and involuntarily looked at Wei Mingyu, the person above the court who wanted him to die the most was Wei Mingyu, so he snorted coldly: "Father, what kind of person is his son, my father also knows." Take the matter of the ninth brother as an example, although the sons and the ninth brothers are not the same mother, they are both the sons and heirs of their fathers, how can the sons and daughters of the sons and daughters kill the ninth brothers?
This was said very well, which made Emperor Shou's heart feel a little better, but after all, he didn't believe it and didn't answer.
Wei Mingyu was willing to let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately sneered: "The eldest brother is really clever and clever, black can also be said to be white, white and black, is the confession of so many witnesses also false?
"Father, what the son said is true!" Wei Mingchun was willing to admit it, and he bit it to death.
The two argued, and only others came out to speak. Wei Mingyu gave Tang Huanyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, a look, Tang Huanyi tidied up his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." For such a big crime, it is natural for the eldest prince to defend himself, but His Majesty will make a decision on the merits of the matter, so it is better to Xuan Wangyuan to go to the palace to confront the eldest prince in court!"
Emperor Shou nodded, and finally agreed to Tang Huanyi's suggestion.
Not long after, Wang Yuan wore shackles and went to the main hall, and he was not seen for a few days, he looked like a withered tree, but it can be seen that he was tortured a lot in the criminal department. However, the methods of the criminal department have always been clever, but on the outside it looks like the flesh and skin are undamaged, and Emperor Shou can't see the flaws.
As soon as Wang Yuan arrived at the palace, he subconsciously looked at Wei Mingchun, Wei Mingchun's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he glanced at Wang Yuan warningly.
Wang Yuan trembled suddenly, but he cried out bitterly in his heart. Here is his noble Wei Mingchun, Wei Mingchun has supported him for many years, he has a love for him, and he is the old master, and his heart is somewhat maintained. Can...... He looked at Wei Mingyu on the other side, a wave of fear spread, the abuse he had received in the Criminal Department these days made him tremble, not to mention, what he was more worried about now was that the life of his unsuccessful son was still tightly held in Wei Mingyu's hands!
"Wang Yuan, is what you confessed true?" Before he could think for a long time, Emperor Shou spoke.
Wei Mingchun glared at him, his fists clenched subconsciously, hiding his deep uneasiness.
Wei Mingxi was standing opposite Wei Mingchun, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth when he saw this, Wei Mingchun was also afraid?
Wang Yuan lowered his head, avoided Wei Mingchun's gaze, and nodded slowly: "What the criminal minister said, everything is true!"
When Wei Mingchun heard this, his body finally couldn't help shaking slightly......
The result of this confrontation in the hall is not a second guess, after Emperor Shou announced Wang Yuan, he summoned some other officials involved, and no one retracted their confessions. Wei Mingchun's charges were almost confirmed on the spot, and Emperor Shou was furious, and immediately issued an edict, ordering Wei Mingchun to think about it in the mansion and wait for punishment.
After everyone dispersed, Emperor Shou left Wei Mingxi alone.
Wei Mingxi was still in a wheelchair, and Emperor Shou walked to the throne step by step, walked to his side, and suddenly aged a lot. Emperor Shou trembled and stroked Wei Mingxi's hair, and it turned out to be old tears: "Xi'er, it's my father who can't stand you." Not to mention the death of your brother back then, he also planned such a sinister thing to kill you. Xi'er, your mother blamed me until she died, saying that I shouldn't spoil you too much, father...... Is it really wrong?"
He is not stupid, many years ago he also suspected that Wei Mingxi's disability was artificial, but unfortunately he couldn't find evidence, and now that the evidence has appeared one by one, he knows that the root cause is still for this throne after a little scrutiny.
"How can you blame your father?" Wei Mingxi's voice was faint, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the final analysis, the sons and daughters are useless, and they don't have insight into the evil intentions of the eldest emperor." ”
"Xi'er......" Emperor Shou's heart was so distressed that he was about to break, patted him on the shoulder heavily, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, my father will definitely give you an explanation!"
Wei Mingxi lowered his eyes: "Father, forget it." After all, the eldest brother is also the blood of his father, and then ...... The queen's mother is not easy to explain to her father, and the entire Liu family is still standing behind the eldest brother, and the sons don't want to embarrass their father. Anyway...... The son's leg can only be like this, even if the father punishes the eldest brother, the son is also a waste. As long as the father has a son in his heart, the son is very happy, and I believe that the mother does not want to see the father and the emperor disturb the balance of the court for the sake of the son. ”
"Good boy......" His sensibility made Emperor Shou's heart softer, and he looked at Wei Mingxi kindly, and couldn't help but fall into a long memory, revealing a little trance: "Yes, your mother concubine is the most kind-hearted, if she hadn't been concerned about the court situation back then, she would have been the queen a long time ago." Your heart follows her, and my father is very pleased. ”
When it came to Concubine Hui, the father and son had a lot of topics, and when Wei Mingxi left, Emperor Shou was already in a much better mood.
Wei Mingxi went straight back to the Lingwang Mansion, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he heard the housekeeper say that Fu Rongyue was waiting in the study, and he was overjoyed. I don't know when, he is looking forward to more and more Fu Rongyue's meeting, looking forward to Fu Rongyue's surprise to him.
The Lingwang Mansion is full of his own people, and he has worked hard for many years, and Wei Mingxi still has this confidence.
After entering the inner courtyard, he abandoned the wheelchair and walked with crutches - the last time he went to the Hou Mansion, he found that Fu Rongyue liked him to walk upright instead of sitting in a wheelchair, and he had some resistance to the wheelchair in his heart.
Fu Rongyue was looking through the military books on his bookshelf in the study, when she heard the movement and turned around, she saw that he had walked in, and her eyes really lit up, and he smiled slightly: "How long have you been here?"
"I'm here as soon as you entered the palace. Fu Rongyue grinned, her eyes were still looking at the books on his bookshelf, and she looked greedy: "Your Highness's bookshelf, can I read them at will?"
"Yes. Wei Mingxi nodded, walked to her side, saw that she was holding the "Art of War" in her hand, and said in a low voice: "This book is good, it is the basis of marching formation, but there are many things in it, if no one explains it, you may not be able to understand it." This book of "On Arts" is suitable for you, it is all about the principles that need to be mastered on the march, you can read this one first. As he spoke, he took out a thin book from the bookshelf and handed it to Fu Rongyue.
Fu Rongyue also excused herself, took the book and handed it to Mei Shan. Seeing that she was so interested, Wei Mingxi took out a few more books from the bookshelf and handed them to Mei Shan: "Let's take a look at these books together." ”
Mei Shan hurriedly took it and held it all in her arms, Fu Rongyue was relieved, sat down with Wei Mingxi, and asked about the situation in the palace.
Wei Mingxi said them one by one, and then said: "I am flattered that you gave me such a big gift, and I have to give you a decent gift." ”
"Don't," Fu Rongyue smiled: "This gift is my meeting gift to His Highness to form an alliance, since His Highness is satisfied, the agreement between you and me has been completely reached." Your Highness, the seventh day of this month is my wedding ceremony, and the wedding date of you and me has been decided?"
"Father Emperor has already asked Qin Tian to monitor the schedule. Wei Mingxi frowned: "However, after Wei Mingchun's incident, Wei Mingyuan has not yet gotten married, and Wei Mingyu's marriage has not yet been settled, and within this year, I am afraid that he will not be able to get married." ”
As he said this, his eyes fell on the dark compartment of the bookshelf, and a smile slipped through his eyes.
It doesn't matter if you can't get married, what should be given to Fu Rongyue, he will not be less!
When Fu Rongyue heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Wei Mingxi would tell her that Emperor Shou had planned to let them get married this year. She smiled slightly: "It's not a difficult thing, there are benefits to being late, Rong Yue can still afford to wait." By the way, Your Highness, Wei Mingchun has been injured even if he is not dead after this incident, are you ready for the next move?"
Wei Mingxi smiled: "I don't have to contribute, I have someone to contribute." ”
"yes. Fu Rongyue knew what he was talking about, Wei Mingyu would never let go of any opportunity to suppress Wei Mingchun, and next, there must be more vicious things waiting for Wei Mingchun, Fu Rongyue smiled: "But we can't be completely silent, Wei Mingchun is down, the queen mother and the Liu family will probably not be reconciled, and they will definitely change their ways to protect him." ”
"You don't know Liu Guogong. Wei Mingxi shook his head slowly: "He is a smart man, at this time, he will never jump out to find trouble, not only will he not protect Wei Mingchun, but most of the time he will advise his father to punish him severely, and even admonish him to kill a hundred people." However, this is all on the surface, Liu Guogong has always been good at roundabout battles, this time he didn't notice it for a while, so Wei Mingchun suffered such a big loss, and he will definitely count this revenge on me and Wei Mingyu. Well, I'm crippled, and he probably won't take it to heart, so there's only one object for him to take revenge with all his heart. ”
"Wei Mingyu. Fu Rongyue said lightly.
Wei Mingxi shook the teacup in his hand, his eyes were deep: "Have you forgotten one thing? ”
"Mei Guogong!" Fu Rongyue jumped up suddenly.
Wei Mingxi smiled but said nothing.
Fu Rongyue stood dumbfounded, and it took a long time before she said, "You mean, the Liuguo Guild is making a fuss about the Meiguo Mansion, so that Wei Mingyu and the Mei Guogong are completely opposed?"
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "Do you still remember the poisoning of Mei Guogong's only daughter Mei Yanshan in the palace some time ago? I guess Liu Guogong will most likely bring up this matter again." ”
"But ......" Fu Rongyue rushed out, she knew the truth of this matter best, it was the next strategy she came up with in order to help Mei Yanshan escape from marriage, if it was traced, she would be the real culprit, and most likely she would be implicated in the crime of bullying the king in Mei Mansion. But as soon as she said two words, she immediately stopped talking. There is nothing strange about it, in the previous life, the Mei family was full of beheadings, is there any real evidence? Evidence can be fabricated in the eyes of these powerful people!
