However, after a few days of hard work, it was the emperor himself who put pressure on him, and the truth of Gu Nanfeng's bribery and prostitution case was finally revealed. It turned out that Gu Nanfeng's fellow villager Li Cheng was actually instructed by Zhang Siyuan, the eye of the list, and Zhang Siyuan's uncle was Liu Zhen, the head of the household department. In order to seek a better future for his nephew, Liu Zhen set up such a vicious plan. first bribed a Jinshi and asked him to sue him as instructed, and then bribed Li Cheng and asked him to frame Gu Nanfeng for accepting bribes.

Originally, Hubu Shangshu only planned to do this trick, but he didn't want to hear that Gu Nanfeng actually went to the Qinglou to find fun, so he went to the Qinglou and learned that Gu Nanfeng and Liu Shiyu were on good terms, so he added this crime of weathering. Who would have thought that Liu Shiyu would be tortured and not recruited, there was really no way, Liu Zhen had to spend money again to buy the old bustard in the Qinglou, which caused an unjust case of "ironclad evidence".

After the matter was clarified, the emperor Long Yan was furious and dismissed Liu Zhen from his post and investigated, Zhang Siyuan was also removed from the list, and those who committed perjury were all put in prison. Unique Liu Shiyu, the emperor praised him, and after Gu Nanfeng was reinstated, he gave it to Gu Nanfeng as a concubine. As soon as this case came out, the courtiers were shocked, and they all obeyed the law, and they were much clearer for a while.

On this day, the emperor suddenly became interested and came to Zhong Lingxuan, Xiang Jieyu suddenly saw that the emperor came at night, and she was not prepared at all, so she couldn't help but say ashamedly: "Why did the emperor come over suddenly, and he didn't send someone to inform the concubine in advance, and the concubine didn't prepare anything." At the same time, he asked the maid to serve tea quickly.

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't be so troublesome, it's enough to have you, in recent days, I feel very tired, and suddenly I want to hear you play a tune, so I came over." The moonlight is hazy tonight, quite meaningful, why don't you move to Yancui Pavilion, what does Xiang Jieyu think? ”

Xiang Jieyu said with a smile: "It's rare for the emperor to have this Yaxing, and the concubine also feels more comfortable playing the piano in the Yancui Pavilion that is empty on all sides, and there are many fewer constraints than in the house, so the concubine will go with the emperor." ”

But after a while, the two inner supervisors carried the piano case to the Yancui Pavilion, and Xiang Jieyu sat down and played it herself, but it was a song "Deer Song", the sound of the piano was leisurely, graceful and beautiful. Xiang Jieyu sang while playing: "Yo Yo deer singing, eating wild apples." I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk. ”

"Deer Song" is divided into three sections, Xiang Jieyu finished playing this paragraph, and when she saw that the emperor was contemplative, she stopped plucking the strings, just smiled at the emperor, and asked after a while: "What did the emperor think, but he couldn't even hear the sound of the concubine's piano." ”

The emperor came to his senses, looked at Xiang Jieyu fixedly, and said with a faint smile: "The beauty is on the side, what else can I think of, naturally I am obsessed with listening to the sound of the beauty's piano." ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled faintly and said: "The concubine is brave, please ask the emperor to comment on the song that the concubine just played, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

The emperor said lightly: "What you just played was "Deer Song", and the words are the first part of "The Book of Songs/Xiaoya". Originally used by the guests of the Zhou Dynasty banquet, this score was passed on by Zhao Yansu, and it is also the last voice of Kaiyuan. The melody is cheerful and bright, expressing the composer's enthusiasm and sincerity to the guests. Is there a deviation in what I said? ”

Xiang Jieyu smiled gently: "The emperor has good ears, and the evaluation is correct, since the emperor said that the concubine's piano sound is very beautiful, why don't the concubines finish playing the remaining two paragraphs?" The emperor smiled and said, "Very good." ”

Xiang Jieyu continued to pluck the strings and sang: "Yo yo deer singing, eating the wild." I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective. I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao. ”

As soon as the second paragraph was played, Xiang Jieyu suddenly saw a masked man in black coming in the air, holding a sharp blade, and rushed towards the emperor. Xiang Jieyu was so frightened that her face was pale, because the emperor had her back to the assassin, the assassin was fierce, Xiang Jieyu didn't have time to shout, she hurriedly stood up and walked two steps quickly, blocking in front of the emperor, the sharp blade was sure to hit Xiang Jieyu's throat, only one inch away, Xiang Jieyu was about to splash blood in the Cuiting Pavilion, fortunately the assassin stopped in time.

The emperor also turned around, and when he saw this scene, he was also startled, but he forced himself to calm down and asked, "Who are you, and who sent you to assassinate me." The assassin didn't care about the emperor's questioning, but just said sharply to Xiang Jieyu: "Get out of the way, I won't kill women, it's really not worth it for you to block the sword for this dumb king." ”

Xiang Jieyu replied calmly: "Today, under the governance of the emperor, the officials obey the law, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor also reduces taxes, builds water conservancy, benefits the people, and cleans the country." I don't know who instigated the righteous man to assassinate Mingjun? ”

The assassin looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and said: "Sure enough, it is a sharp mouth, yes, the emperor does have many virtuous deeds, but listening to the words of traitors and killing loyal ministers in vain is not a virtuous monarch." Today, I want to avenge the death of the salt patrol imperial history. ”

When the emperor heard this, he said: "What the righteous man said, but Wu Yinghai, the imperial history of salt patrol in Zhejiang and Guangzhou? ”

The assassin said, "Exactly. The emperor said angrily: "Wu Yinghai is a salt patrol imperial history, but he is corrupt and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, and even has the felony of selling official positions, so that the people in Zhejiang and Guangzhou are full of complaints, and the people are not happy. Even the nine clans are not exaggerated, I am merciful, but I just beheaded him himself, and his family was exiled, which is already benevolent and righteous. The righteous man actually assassinated me for such a person, which shows that the righteous man has a good martial arts, but he is a foolish person. ”

The assassin glanced at the emperor coldly, and said hatefully: "You are still the emperor because of the loss, have you ever seen Wu Yushi corrupt and take bribes, as for selling official positions, it is even more out of nothing, it is just the words of a traitorous minister, plus buying a few petty officials and petty officials, and forging ironclad evidence, what is the difficulty." What's more, the area around Zhejiang and Guangzhou is far away from Beijing, and those officials are complicit, embarrassed, and united to rectify Wu Yushi. That villain can't tolerate Wu Yushi's honesty and integrity, and even the emperor can't tolerate it? ”

At this point, he saw a team of guards hurrying over when he heard the sound, and the chief guard said loudly: "Bold assassin, don't put down your weapon quickly." Assassinating the emperor is a capital crime of the nine clans, if you stop now, the emperor is merciful, maybe he will spare your clansmen from dying, you should stop it quickly, don't involve the clansmen. ”

The assassin laughed and said, "Since I dare to assassinate the emperor today, I have already put life and death aside, my parents are dead, I have no clansmen, and I am alone, so what is there to fear?" After saying this, he dodged around again, pushed Xiang Jieyu away, and the sharp blade reached the emperor's throat.

The faces of the people present turned yellow with fright, and they couldn't say a word in shock. The Assassin continued: "I have heard that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an Assassin named Yu Rang, who treated him with the courtesy of a national soldier because of Zhibo's kindness to him. At that time, Han, Zhao and Wei destroyed the Zhi family, Zhao Xiangzi actually used the head of Zhibo as a drinking vessel, Yu Rang once said, 'The person who is a confidant dies', did not hesitate to go to the toilet on the bridge, swallowed charcoal paint, assassinated Zhao Xiangzi many times, and finally killed himself. Wu Yushi has the grace of knowing me, and today, I will follow Yu Rang's example and die with you, the dog emperor who does not distinguish between black and white. ”

Xiang Jieyu exclaimed: "Righteous people can't, you have avenged your own personal grievances, but you have put all the people in the world where they are, if you assassinate the emperor today, it will inevitably cause chaos in the court." Moreover, the border barbarians have always been eyeing our DPRK, and it is inevitable that they will not take advantage of the chaos to attack our DPRK, resulting in the displacement of the people and the misery of their lives. The emperor is a Ming monarch, if you ask the emperor to re-investigate this case, if Wu Yushi is really wronged, he will definitely let Wu Yushi be wronged, and ask the righteous to think twice. ”

Taking advantage of the Assassin's thoughts, the chief guard stepped forward quickly, but before the Assassin could react, he snatched the sharp blade from the Assassin's hand, and with a backhand capture, the Assassin was firmly controlled, and the other guards also hurried over and pressed the Assassin down.

The chief guard said: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the assassins, should they be stabbed to death with a sword now, or will they be put in prison and beheaded on a later date?" ”

The emperor looked at the assassin and asked, "What else do you have to say?" The assassin sneered a few times before he said, "When the poor season is seen, one by one." In Qi Tai Shi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen; In Qin Zhang Liangqi, in the Han Su Wu Festival. for General Yan's head, for Ji's blood; For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue. Or for the Liaodong hat, clear the ice and snow. Or for the teacher's table, the ghosts and gods weep strongly. Or to cross the river, generously swallow the hu. Or for the fight of the thief, the reverse vertical head is broken. It is majestic and majestic. When it runs through the sun and the moon, death and life are sufficient! On the day Wen Tianxiang was defeated and imprisoned, I would rather die than give in, my mind is no different from Wen Tianxiang. Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. The emperor wants to kill even if he wants, I just ask the emperor to retry the case of Wu Yushi and return Wu Yushi's innocence, so that I will die without regrets. ”

The emperor sighed and said: "This is a righteous man, Zhao Xiangzi can still feel the righteousness of Yu Concession, and I can also release people." ”
