Emperor Ningzong's self-cultivation is indeed very good, and he has been scolded by Gonggong Li, and he doesn't seem to be angry. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It wasn't until Gonggong Li finished speaking that Emperor Ningzong said: "Gonggong Li, you are indeed a good person who is loyal to your master, but it's a pity that you are loyal to the wrong master." ”

Seeing Emperor Ningzong say this, Gonggong Li hurriedly said: "Hugh is talking nonsense, Empress Li treats me like a mountain, how is it not good." β€œ

Emperor Ningzong said: "Gonggong Li, as you said, Empress Li is indeed kind to you, but it is indeed a scourge to the Great Song Dynasty, she was very arrogant in the palace at the beginning, often interfering in court politics, and after I ascended the throne, this person also tried in vain to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to bring her son to power, I really had no choice, so I had to move them into this West Lake Palace;

As for the execution of Empress Li, it was done by Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan, who supported me to ascend the throne at the beginning, from me, mainly because Empress Li and others were disgruntled after moving into the West Lake Palace, and often spoke some offensive language, so as soon as they were angry, they secretly arranged for someone to execute them. When I found out afterwards, I was also very unhappy and criticized them fiercely. ”

Gonggong Li didn't believe Emperor Ningzong's words at all, and scolded loudly: "Dull Jun, don't make excuses, let you speak like a spring, I don't believe it either." β€œ

Seeing that no matter what he said, Gonggong Li was scolding, Emperor Ningzong glanced at Shi Miyuan beside him.

How smart is this Shi Miyuan, seeing that Emperor Ningzong glanced at him, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Bold minion, slander and bow." Murder of the court officials, hurry up, pull this thief out and imprison him, and bring him back to Lin'an to be convicted in detail. ”

The Imperial Forest Army outside the door heard Shi Miyuan's order, so they immediately came in and escorted Gonggong Li.

At this time, Xin Ran stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Ningzong, and said: "Your Majesty, Shengming, now that the case has been clarified, this case was planned and implemented by the chief eunuch of the West Lake Palace, and it has nothing to do with Lord Chen's sister, and I also ask Your Majesty to order Miss Chen to be released." β€œ

After listening to Xin Ran, Emperor Ningzong immediately approved Xin Ran's request, and asked Shi Miyuan to immediately arrange for Chen Ming to be released, and comforted Chen Wenduan and said: "Aiqing is a loyal minister of my Great Song Dynasty, I was wronged last time, and this time Ling Mei was wronged again, I am really sorry, so let's do it, after returning to the city, I will allow you to take a vacation for half a month, temporarily take the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Ling Mei will also have credit for solving the case this time, and reward him with one hundred taels of gold, one hundred pieces of silk, and a phoenix crown." In this way, are you still satisfied, Chen Aiqing?"

Chen Wenduan saw that the emperor was a reward and his official position, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to kneel on the ground and think about the emperor's gratitude.

Last night, Emperor Ningzong said to Xin Ran again: "Gongzi Xin, this case is so complicated, you can solve this case in such a short time, it really lives up to my expectations, if you have any requests, even if you ask for it, I will meet you." ”

Seeing Emperor Ningzong say this, Xin Ran hurriedly bowed to Emperor Ningzong and said: "You know the wishes of the grass people, and you don't want to be an official, and the grass people have nothing else to ask for, but I only hope that Your Majesty will be diligent in government and love the people, and restore the homeland as soon as possible." ”

When Emperor Ningzong saw Xin Ran say this, he said: "Xin Gongzi really has a heart of loyalty to the monarch and love the people, I know that you don't love money and don't want to be an official, so I won't force you." ”

After dealing with these things, Emperor Ningzong issued another order: "Everyone has been disturbed by the murder case in the past few days, so tomorrow we will have a good rest in the palace for a day, and the day after tomorrow we will drive back to the palace in Lin'an City." ”

When he had finished speaking, he got up and went back to his dormitory to rest.

After tossing for most of the night, everyone was also very tired, and after seeing off the emperor, everyone went back to the palace to rest.

The next day, all the ministers accompanied Emperor Ningzong to enjoy the game.

In the evening, because they had to go back to the palace the next day, they needed to get up early to serve the holy driver, so everyone rested early.

But in the middle of the night, outside the dormitory where Ning Zong was resting, a man in black was walking towards the room where Emperor Ning Zong lived.

This person seemed to be very familiar with the dormitory, and without much effort, he soon came to Ning Zong's residence.

I saw that this person first added it to his mouth with his fingers, and then pierced the window paper with his fingers, and looked carefully, only to see that the emperor of Ningzong inside seemed to be asleep, and the room was very quiet.

The man in black couldn't help but be very happy when he saw this, so he drew a dagger and gently opened the door.

After the door opened, the man in black walked lightly to the dragon bed of Emperor Ningzong in the house.

Seeing Emperor Ningzong lying sideways, his head facing inward, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly, the man in black was ecstatic and thought, "This time I can finally kill this faint monarch." ”

Thinking of this, he picked up the dagger and stabbed it, who knew that the dagger of the man in black had not yet stabbed Emperor Ningzong on the dragon bed, and there was already a sword on his neck behind him.

At this time, I saw that the room was suddenly brightly lit, and the person lying on the bed jumped up, it turned out that it was not Emperor Ningzong who was lying on the bed, but Chen Ming pretending.

It turned out that Xin Ran had long expected that Gonggong Li had been operating in the palace for many years, and there must have been a party that would assassinate Emperor Ningzong after he was arrested, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, so he deliberately set up this situation tonight, and sure enough, Gonggong Chen's comrades were fooled.

At this time, hearing the news, Emperor Ningzong and Shi Miyuan and other ministers came to this house.

The person who carried out the assassination this time was even more unexpected by everyone, it was the mad eunuch in the West Lake Palace.

After the Imperial Forest Army tied up this crazy maniac, Shi Miyuan stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to murder the current saint? Aren't you afraid of punishing your nine clans?"

This madman didn't seem to be afraid of Shi Miyuan at all, and laughed and said: "What are you, dare to come and ask me, if you want to ask, it is also this dog emperor." ”

The words of this crazy eunuch immediately angered Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan stepped forward and slapped the crazy eunuch twice.

Emperor Ningzong looked at Shi Miyuan and seemed to be a little out of shape, so he said to him: "Prime Minister, why bother to be like a eunuch. ”

Then he said to the mad eunuch, "Who are you, and why do you want to kill me?"

I saw this crazy eunuch say: "You became the emperor, so naturally you don't know me, I am the prince born to Empress Li back then." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they didn't dare to speak out because it was about the royal secrets.

Only Emperor Ningzong asked, "Aren't you already executed in the palace, and Gonggong Li, who was arrested, said the same?"

The crazy eunuch laughed and said: "What was killed that day was just a stand-in similar to me that Gonggong Li temporarily found, and I was not killed, but because my family was killed, I was really crazy, but then I slowly recovered, in order to take revenge, I followed what Gonggong Li said, pretended to be an old eunuch, and still pretended to be crazy every day, waiting for the opportunity for revenge with Gonggong Li." ”
