Chapter 395: Brother
Now that the choice has been made, in the following days, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion closed the door, refused all non-essential personal entertainment, and watched the development of the situation anxiously and uneasily.
From Xiao Ji unveiling the royal list of the King of Fenyang wanted in the City Gate Tower, to Xiao Ji leading several generals of the old Wuwei Army to escort the King of Fenyang into Beijing, and then to Xiao Ji beating the Dengwen drum......
Feng Yi was suspenseful, and said: "Even if he still knows that everything can't be rushed, he didn't directly lead his troops into Beijing, but chose to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court and take the opportunity to beat the drum and voice his grievances." ”
Feng Shujia nodded, but there was not the slightest smile on her face, and she said anxiously: "The drum has been beaten, but whether and how this injustice can be understood is still unknown......
Feng Yi nodded, frowned, and continued to send people out to inquire about the news.
Soon, another message came back.
The one who escorted the traitor King Fenyang back to Beijing and sounded the Dengwen drum turned out to be the widow of the late King Jin!
The widow of the king of Jin beat the drum and shouted grievances, naturally because some time ago the rumors in the capital of Emperor Longqing colluded with the Xiliang thieves, and in turn framed the king of Jin for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and killed the whole palace of the king of Jin and tens of thousands of people in Jinyang.
Where did the drum priest dare to take over such a fatal case, he immediately reported it to the imperial court and sent the case to the crown prince Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji was shocked when he heard this, it was really unexpected that there were still people in the Jin Palace's mansion who survived.
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and asked Li Dian, the director of the drum division who came to report: "Can the matter be investigated clearly?
Li Dian knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied: "Weichen was worried that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he first appeased people in the Drum Division, and hurried into the palace to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, but he didn't have time to carefully inquire about the truth." But ......"
Li Dian hesitated.
"But what?" Xiao Ji frowned, could it be that there were more tricky things waiting for him.
Li Dian saw that Xiao Ji was angry, and hurriedly replied: "It was Weichen who was negligent, because they first used the banner of escorting the traitor Li Fengxian into Beijing to hand over to the imperial court, so Weichen mistakenly thought that they were going to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so that they did not take much precautions, so that the ......news was revealed."
What news can be revealed?
Naturally, it is Xiao Ji's identity, and it is a former grievance......
Xiao Ji waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you. ”
It seems that Xiao Ji is using the idea of escorting the King of Fenyang to confuse his opponent and take the opportunity to expose his identity and the grievances of ten years ago.
In this way, even if Li Dian took precautions in advance, Xiao Ji naturally had other ways to spread the news.
Everything has a cause and an effect, and the mistakes that were made in the past will now naturally have to bear the consequences.
Xiao Ji is not worried about the next grievance turmoil, what he is worried about is that Xiao Ji has been dormant for so long, and only came out to avenge his father's grievances at this time, obviously he has been planning for a long time, and now he has a great certainty.
can not be afraid of the court, and rely on the public grievances, except for the troops, Xiao Ji does not think about him.
So who will it be?
Feng Yi, the god of war of Liang, who is in charge of nearly 100,000 soldiers in the Northwest Army, or some people in the military department? Or is it an external force of Fanbang?
Countless thoughts passed through Xiao Ji's heart.
Li Dian knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat.
Why is he so unlucky, he finally has been quiet for two years because of the chaotic situation in Beijing, but he can't afford to be on such a big event......
In the midst of grief and panic, Li Dian could only hear Xiao Ji, who was the leader, instructing: "Pass my order to bring Xiao Ji and others into the palace, and the palace will personally try the case." ”
Li Dian looked up and was stunned.
Xiao Ji actually planned to try it in person!
How to try the case of the son trying the father?
This is a shocking case, and if you are not careful, it will shake the country's foundation, and according to common sense, you should be killed on the spot to curb rumors.
But Xiao Ji has to accept it now, and without going through the three divisions and not summoning the ministers, he actually has to interrogate him alone!
Li Dian was a little confused.
Could it be that Xiao Ji is taking the opportunity to kill someone, or to borrow someone to "kill" Emperor Longqing, so that he can ascend the throne and become the emperor logically?
Li Dian realized that he had a glimpse of the big thing that had lost his head, and hurriedly took the order to retreat, not daring to delay for a moment, for fear that if he was one step too late, he would innocently suffer from the pond fish.
In the study outside the Wu'an Hou's mansion, Feng Yi raised his eyebrows and was surprised: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually summoned someone into the palace to personally try this case?"
"Xiao Gongzi actually agreed, and he has already entered the palace at this time?" Feng Shujia shouted anxiously and anxiously.
It was Xiao Ji's person who stayed in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an who came to pass the word, and when he saw this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Hou, the eldest girl don't have to worry, the young master has long expected this, no matter whether this trip can be redressed for the prince, the young master will leave the palace safely!"
It's a big deal, the eyeliner that has been hidden in the palace for many years is exposed.
But even if Xiao Ji was so sure, Feng Shujia still felt worried.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Feng Yi asked in a deep voice.
Since the King of Jin was wronged at the beginning, and the people of the Jin Dynasty and tens of thousands of people in Jinyang were unjustly killed, as a participant in the incident, he must not sit idly by.
What's more, Xiao Ji is the person Feng Shujia has a crush on, if nothing else, he at least can't watch him die.
"Daddy!" Feng Shujia bit her lower lip, her eyes full of tears, full of gratitude.
She originally thought that Feng Yi could stand still for her sake was enough for her to be grateful, but she never expected that Feng Yi would offer to help for her.
"Thank you Master Hou!" The person who came to deliver the news immediately clenched his fists and thanked solemnly, "But the young master has already instructed that the Hou Mansion of Wu'an must not be involved, so the Hou Ye and the eldest girl can wait with peace of mind." ”
With Feng Yi's words, it is not in vain that Xiao Ji is so thoughtful for the Marquis of Wu'an.
In this case, the father and daughter can only wait patiently for news.
The waiting time is always so scorching.
When the Bai family sent someone to summon the father and daughter to the Summer Palace for dinner, Feng Shujia looked at the sun that had reached the middle of the sky, and only felt that time passed too slowly, too slowly......
But she couldn't do anything else to divert her attention, so she could only wait anxiously in vain.
However, in the midst of this anxiety, I heard that the Lishan monk led the scholars to the gate of the palace to petition, asking the crown prince Xiao Ji to thoroughly investigate the case and give an explanation to the subjects of the world.
When Xiao Ji heard the news in the Qinzheng Palace, he shook his head again and again and sighed with a smile: "Okay, you, even the hidden Lishan monk has also moved! You are afraid that my cousin will not miss the old feelings!"
As the eldest son of Emperor Longqing, Xiao Ji has been strictly required since he was a child, and he has not much intersection with Xiao Ji, a cousin who has been prodigal since childhood.
If it weren't for Queen Yang's gentle and considerate person, Xiao Ji would occasionally go to her to avoid trouble when he was young, but I am afraid that his friendship with Xiao Ji would be shallow.
