Chapter 734: Plea in front of the Taimiao Temple

Liang Xinming asked her to help her tie her big wool cloak, and said: "After breakfast, I will send Yun'er and Gu'er to the palace, just like an ordinary visit." ”

Hui Niang said: "I know." ”

Liang Xinming said again: "The family is handed over to you." ”

Hui Niang said solemnly: "Husband, rest assured. ”

She got along with Liang Xinming, not only because Liang Xinming took meticulous care of her, but also because Liang Xinming trusted her wholeheartedly, and never thought that she could not take on big things because she was a woman. This is her real husband, I am afraid it can't be compared, because this Liang Xinming himself is a woman. Because of this trust, Hui Niang teamed up with Liang Xinming, and she can always exert extraordinary abilities.

Liang Xinming ate something.

It's finally time to go.

It's still dark outside.

Wang Heng had already arrived, wrapped in cold air, hurried to the back house, saw that Liang Xinming was ready to stop, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and then nodded at Hui Niang, and said, "Go!" The two walked out of the second door side by side.

Taimiao worships ancestors, which is divided into "enjoyment sacrifice", "body sacrifice" and "sue sacrifice". The festival is held on the first day of the first month of the four seasons, the kimono sacrifice is held at the end of the year, and the ancestors are worshiped and called the sacrifice during the wedding, funeral, enthronement, pro-government, canonization, conquest and other major national events.

This sacrifice is a sacrifice, one is to announce the deposition of the title of the White Tiger King and send troops to attack him, and the other is to lead the Qinglong King of Anguo to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

The festival was prepared by the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Cui Yuan and Prince Yu.

Emperor Jing Kang ordered officials above the third rank to participate.

Zhao Ziyi's official position on the face is not enough, but he is the emperor's personal dragon hidden guard, from Sanpin, Emperor Jingkang ordered Long San to notify him to participate, not for anything else, but to secretly protect the emperor in case of accidents, so he also went.

The temple is in the northeast of the imperial city.

The auspicious time for the festival selected by the Qin Heavenly Prison is at the beginning of the morning (7 o'clock in the morning). Mao Zheng, Emperor Jing Kang's Luan drove to the gate of the Taimiao, the guard of honor was purged, the golden gourd treasure top, the flags were lined up, the music was melodious, and the vast and powerful ministers followed.

Imperial court regulations: those who are disloyal to the ministers and unfilial to their sons are not allowed to enter the Taimiao.

Liang Xinming doesn't know if a pregnant woman can enter, because she has never been in such a situation since ancient times, and there is no precedent to follow in the historical books, but she has committed the crime of defrauding the monarch and is pregnant, so it is better to be cautious, otherwise the crime of disguising herself as a man has not been pardoned, and the crime of trespassing in the temple is added to the first, isn't it wronged?

Therefore, the moment Jing Kang Diluan drove into the Taimiao, Liang Xinming shouted "Your Majesty!" behind him, and the voice overshadowed the music and reached everyone's ears.

Emperor Jing Kang turned around on the dragon chariot and saw Liang Xinming out of the ranks, left and right, she stood in the open space between the civil and military forces, looked ahead, hurriedly raised her hand to order the dragon chariot to pause, and asked nervously: "Liang Aiqing has something to play?"

Recently, Liang Xinming has something to do with everywhere, and the emperor is really worried, thinking that she has found something wrong, and today's festival is going to have twists and turns.

Liang Xinming said: "Weichen has committed the crime of bullying the king, and he doesn't dare to enter the Taimiao!" After that, he lifted his cloak, lifted the front hem of the purple robe, and knelt down.

Emperor Jing Kangdi looked at her in amazement, although he had long been suspicious, he was still shocked by her frank confession. Shouldn't she have come to him in private? What was he going to do with her in front of so many people, and before the festival?

All the ministers also looked at Liang Xinming blankly, and at this moment, the same thought appeared in everyone's hearts: Why is the posture of asking for sin so elegant and calm? I didn't see the panic of pleading, but it was like kneeling and preparing to play the piano.

Wang Heng walked in front of Liang Xinming, as soon as Liang Xinming spoke, his heart was raised high, and he fell down heavily until Liang Xinming knelt. I thought, okay, kneel outside, kneel outside. He originally wanted to wait for the end of the festival to be public, but it seems that Liang Xinming is more thoughtful and does not want to enter the Taimiao, so as not to be criticized.

He also came out of the ranks, walked to Liang Xinming's side, knelt down side by side with her, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liang Xinming is the wife of Weichen, because she suffered great grievances, she disguised herself as a man and entered the imperial examination, and committed the crime of bullying the king. In order to cover his wife, Weichen also committed the crime of defrauding the king. Today, I would like to ask the emperors and emperors of the past dynasties for their guilt. ”

That's clear enough!

Emperor Jing Kangdi came back to his senses, and looked at the two favored ministers who were kneeling on the ground side by side waiting for him to dispose of them, with an inexplicable expression.

Su Xiang looked at Wang Ji and seemed to ask, "This was arranged by you?" If so, it would be too disappointing, this timing was too poorly chosen!

Wang Ji hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, knelt in front of his son and daughter-in-law, and bowed to the ground: "Weichen should die!" with a panicked look.

Cui Yuan was shocked and frightened when he saw Liang Xinming's identity disclosed at this timeβ€”he was the chief examiner of the exam that yearβ€”and shouted: "Bold Liang Xinming, dare to disturb the festival! Who gave you the guts?"

Liang Xinming said: "The sinners don't dare, so they stop." ”

Cui Yuan said: "Why didn't you ask for guilt yesterday?"

Wang Heng rushed and said: "I can't be idle yesterday. ”

Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, remembering that the two people who committed capital crimes yesterday were still making meritorious contributions, Liang Xinming investigated and dealt with a nest of spies, dug out more than a dozen court officials who colluded with the spies, and broke the conspiracy of the spies to infiltrate the army, he somewhat understood Liang Xinming's confidence, although he pleaded guilty, he may not be convicted.

Su Xiang asked, "What about the day before yesterday?"

So many days before yesterday did not ask for sin, and only chose to ask for sin today, what did Liang Xinming rely on? Su Xiche wanted to know.

The emperor and others also wanted to know.

Liang Xinming raised his head, looked directly at Emperor Jing Kang, and replied sonorously: "The criminal minister is to find out the truth about the murder of the year, so he disguised himself as a man and entered the imperial examination. Before the truth is ascertained, how can the criminal minister be willing to give up! When the Meng family's mother and daughter are brought to justice, the criminal is again involved in a case of rebellion. At this time, the sinner cannot stop. Although the criminal minister is a woman, he also knows the great righteousness of the country, and he is desperate to add crime to crime, and he must also eradicate the chaotic ministers, thieves, and traitors, and then come to the emperor to ask for sin! Today's festival is a grand event for the royal family and the imperial court, and the criminal minister did not dare to enter the Taimiao without permission, so he had to stop in front of the Taimiao and ask the emperors and emperors of the past dynasties to ask for guilt!

Both Wang Ji and Wang Heng felt that Liang Xinming's astuteness far exceeded their expectations, and he alone resisted all those who were ready to move. If they defend Liang Xinming, they will show their selfishness and ruin Liang Xinming's awe-inspiring words; if they also shout the righteousness of the country, they will appear hypocritical and hypocritical, because Liang Xinming's non-disclosure of his identity is certainly righteous, and even more selfish, that is, meritorious service and atonement for his crimes.

At this point, they don't have to say anything.

Anything is a recipe for everything.

So, they wisely kept their mouths shut.

There was silence at the scene, and the pin drop could be heard.

Su Xiang was speechless, lowered his eyes and waited.

Cui Yuan also lost his mind and looked at the emperor.

Jing Kangdi's face was still happy and angry.

Prince Yu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Liang Xinming's crime of bullying the monarch will be dealt with later, and the festival cannot be delayed, otherwise the auspicious time will be missed." ”

Su Xiang hurriedly said: "Please ask the emperor to drive." ”
