104. One hundred and four
After clearing the field, the monarchs and ministers were speechless and silent for a while.
Miao Xinyu, who came back to his senses, grabbed the ground with his head, and his voice was very poignant, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can a courtier collude with the assassin." ”
Miao Xinyu looked at King Wu Cheng in disbelief, how could he slander her like this, this is pushing her to death, isn't she his niece?
King Wu Cheng ignored her resentful gaze, and the old god was sitting.
The Emperor frowned as he looked at her eyes bulging out of horror. I didn't think about it, but when I thought about it, calculating the distance, the emperor also felt that Miao Xinyu's reaction was too agile, and he didn't know if it was because he suspected his neighbor of stealing the axe.
Under the emperor's suspicious gaze, Miao Xinyu's heart beat like a drum, her face stiffened with fright, and she cried, "Is it wrong to save the driver?" Majesty, the courtiers are wronged! ”
The emperor was a little embarrassed by what she said, he touched his face, looked at King Wucheng for help, and the suspicion was raised by him first.
King Wucheng Yan said, "Your Majesty might as well wait for the results of Jiang Dutong's interrogation," he said and looked at the eldest princess of Taining, "When it comes to the safety of His Majesty, I would rather be in vain than indulge, why don't you interrogate these slaves." "Miao Xinyu is a princess, and it is unreasonable to torture her with speculation, but her slave maid does not have this treatment.
The eldest princess Taining's face changed drastically, and she shouted, "Your Majesty."
King Wu Cheng didn't give her a chance to speak, and interrupted, "If the old man spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I will apologize to you immediately." ”
The eldest princess of Taining suddenly felt as if she had been choked by someone, and she couldn't spit out a word.
Finished! The eldest princess of Taining sat paralyzed on the ground, and two bloody characters appeared in front of her.
The reaction of the eldest princess of Taining made the emperor's heart beat a drum, and his heart sank, and he immediately asked people to take her slave down for interrogation.
The family of the eldest princess of Taining was also 'invited' to another place, waiting for the results of the interrogation there.
"Out of the assassins, should I go back to the palace?" The assassinated emperor is a bit square, he doesn't want to die at all, he bears the pressure of being deposed if he is not careful, and after decades of trembling, he finally became an emperor, is it easy for him?
"But an assassin, your majesty don't have to worry," the eldest princess Taiping comforted the emperor.
The emperor hesitated, "What if she still has a comrade?" ”
"Jiang Dutong and Si Shi are not interrogating."
"What if something slips through the net?" The emperor drilled the tip of the bull's horns.
Ministers look at their noses and noses.
The eldest princess of Taiping can only be appeased by luck.
After a while, Jiang Jin and Yu Sishi finally returned, and Jiang Jin said, "She is a remnant of Dali." ”
In a word, the emperor understood, twelve years ago, he led his troops to quell the Dali rebellion, and since then Dali has been completely assigned to the Great Zhou. Although he is just a mascot and has no strength at all, the credit is on him, and the hatred is naturally pulled by him.
The Emperor asked anxiously, "Does she have a party, and how did she get in?" ”
"For more than ten years, they have installed some people in the palace," Jiang Jin reported the person who came out of the mouth of the dancing girl again, "That's all she knows, and the minister has already sent someone to arrest her." ”
The Emperor nodded repeatedly, "When these people are brought to justice, Shun Teng must find out all the assassins." ”
"Obey."
The emperor remembered something else, "So, Seventh Sister, she is not involved?" "This is good news, who wants their sister to want to assassinate themselves.
King Wu Cheng said calmly, "When the results of the interrogation come out, it's not too late to say more." Changed the topic, "It has only been twelve years since Dali destroyed the country, and its people are still unforgettable, and they can't return wholeheartedly." Previously, local officials reported on the drought, and His Majesty should not have stepped up disaster relief efforts. ”
"Your Majesty has exempted the local tax for one year, and has also allocated 500,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, if it is another disaster relief, then the south is flooded, should it also be increased disaster relief," the eldest princess Taiping raised her voice and said, the country is big, either here or there. And the treasury is limited, and if there is more here, there must be less in another. Behind every place is the forces involved, the governor of Yunnan is the person of King Wucheng, of course he wants to ensure the stability of Yunnan.
At that moment, another minister stood up to refute it, and then argued with swords, this kind of thing is said to be justified.
If you don't say a word, you will fight with your tongue, and the emperor has two big heads, and he is confused.
The person who saved the emperor from fire and water is long overdue, but it brings good news, it should be counted!
Among the people who were taken down by the Miao family were the henchmen of the eldest princess of Taining, and then the Miao family's secret alliance with Duanwang's old ministry was exposed, and at the same time, the Miao family's desire to take refuge in Xiao Bai was also exposed.
The emperor looked shocked.
The eldest princess of Taiping quietly glanced at the ancestors and grandsons of King Wucheng who looked like usual, and asked about the Miao family's conspiracy so smoothly, saying that they were not prepared, and she refused to believe it.
However, she was already disgusted with the Duanwang lineage, and took this opportunity to completely disintegrate the other party's strength and eliminate the future troubles forever, which she was also happy to see, so she sat in place and didn't say much.
The disbelieving emperor asked, "Is this serious?" ”
"They confessed, and the eldest princess of Taining had correspondence with them, and hid in the secret room of the princess's mansion. ”
The emperor, who had believed seven points, was furious, "Go and search, search for me." He calmed down a little, "Find out to me, what Xiao Bai did, who else did he collude with, and what did he want to do?" No matter how stupid he is, he knows what Taining is trying to do with Xiao Bai.
The Emperor paced back and forth angrily, suspicious, "The assassin really has nothing to do with Taining?" Before, he believed that Tai Ning would not participate in the assassination, but after knowing that she secretly contacted Duanwang's old ministry and took refuge in Xiao Bai's intention to get involved in the country, the emperor was shaken.
"No one identified it, but according to the confession of the maid Poria next to Miss Miao, when Miss Miao went out to catch spiders, she stayed for a while in front of the camp tent of the dancing girl waiting for the performance."
"I think Miss Miao found clues at that time." A minister seemed to say unintentionally.
Hearing this, the emperor's heart moved, and he was furious, "She found out but didn't say it, she wanted to use my life to save the car, so sinister thoughts!"
"Your Majesty is angry!" Humane.
When the emperor calmed down his anger a little, the person who came continued to shake the material, "The snakes encountered by the two Jiang girls were also changed by Miss Miao. ”
The emperor subconsciously went to see Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin unabashedly sank his face and said sadly, "Where did the minister's daughter and niece offend Miss Miao, so that she wanted to murder her so deliberately, they, they are still children!" ”
Jiang Jin is an important minister, and he is the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Langya, if this matter is not handled well, his aunt will be able to support the sick body to make trouble, and the emperor immediately appeased, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
After that, he ordered someone to bring Princess Taining and Miao Xinyu up, as well as someone who confessed.
After her subordinates were taken away, the eldest princess of Taining knew that it was over, and with Jiang Jin and Yu Sishi's methods, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back what she was plotting, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. When she was brought up, the eldest princess of Taining still had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing the emperor's gloomy face that could almost drip water, the eldest princess of Taining's heart fell straight down, her knees were weak, she collapsed to the ground, and was carried forward by others, without respect between her movements.
And Miao Xinyu rushed to the top of her head in fear after finding Poria lying on the ground in blood, her limbs were cold, and she trembled.
In the face of the confession in black and white, the eldest princess of Taining, who was described as haggard as if she had been ten years old, begged for mercy with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty...... The minister's sister was confused for a while, yes, it was the king of Yanxi County who bewitched the minister's sister. The eldest princess Taining's eyes suddenly burst into light, and she spoke eloquently, "Recently, there have been accidents one after another in the courtier's sister's family, so that the reputation has been lost, the king of Yanxi County asked the courtier, do you want to make a comeback, the courtier's sister was confused for a while, so she agreed to contact Duanwang for him, the minister's sister is wrong, the minister's sister knows that she is wrong!" As he spoke, he slammed the ground under him, but after a few strokes, blood oozed from his forehead, mixed with dirt and grass clippings, and the eldest princess of Taining seemed to feel no pain at all, and continued to kowtow desperately.
The emperor took a few steps back in shock, raised his hand, and opened his mouth to speak.
As soon as the eldest princess Taiping made a look, the spirit palace people stepped forward to hold up the eldest princess Taining.
The eldest princess Taiping took a step forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's better to find Ah Bai and ask." ”
The emperor was stunned, and looked at the eldest princess Taiping with a little overwhelmed in his eyes.
Under the reminder of others, he was guarding against the king of Yanxi County, but he was just guarding against it, but he never thought of killing him to prevent future troubles, this was his only nephew, and he loved him when he was a child.
But according to the words of the eldest princess of Taining, Xiao Bai is ambitious.
The emperor staggered, and said in a painful voice, "Pass Xiao Bai." ”
