Chapter 228: Dignity and Strength

The ministers of the court and the central government no longer dare to mention that Concubine Yang should accompany the funeral, this is a very unreasonable lord who dares to say anything, and the most important thing is that since the emperor can listen to those rebellious words, he will not punish her.

Sima Yunfei stood among the courtiers, he felt that what Princess Huanji said was too good, and those who made something out of nothing should be beheaded. But how could he think that the way this man spoke and the art of language were familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

This farce is finally over, and the eunuch shouted: "There is a book to start a play, there is no book to retreat from the court......."

Xue Yu stepped forward and said, "The minister has something to play Your Majesty." ”

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Prime Minister Xue, please speak?" ”

Xue Yu took out a scroll from his sleeve and said, "This is the edict left by Emperor Taizu before his death. ”

The emperor said: "Since it is the edict of the emperor's grandfather during his lifetime, the prime minister will read it in public." ”

Xue Yu said: "Back to Your Majesty, this edict was made by Emperor Taizu when he canonized Princess Huanji, but this time after Emperor Taizu returned to Beijing, he changed the edict again. The posthumous edict after the change has not been read, at that time Emperor Taizu said that he asked Princess Huanji to read it out in person, so he waited until three days after the great filial piety, and today Princess Huanji came to the palace and invited her to come. “

The emperor said: "In that case, why didn't you say it just now? ”

Xue Yu replied: "The minister only let the princess wait outside the palace, and did not let her enter directly without being transmitted, so the minister did not explain in advance." ”

The emperor said: "Since it is the intention of Emperor Taizu, then Princess Huanji will read it out in person." “

Huan Ji got up and took the scroll, slowly opened it and looked at it, tears rolling down Huan Ji's veil.

Huan Ji said in her heart: "My father finally helped her arrange everything. ”

The other officials didn't know why, they all looked at Princess Huanji, and Qin Renmei thought to herself: "Princess Huanji is powerful, if Emperor Taizu directly gives death, it will be lively." “

The emperor looked at the tearful Princess Huanji in front of him and asked, "Aunt Huang, you can read it." ”

Huan Ji choked up and said: "The eldest princess of Huan Ji, Tianhui is smart, she has saved me many times, and she has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. He also worked tirelessly to govern Qingzhou to share my worries, and I was very relieved. A golden whip was specially given, and the king was beaten on the top and the minister on the bottom. The eldest princess will never get along, and her marriage is autonomous. The eldest princess of Huanji can participate in court affairs, and she can also take the concubine to live in Qingzhou for a long time. Chin this. “

Qin Renmei was dumbfounded when she heard this, isn't Emperor Taizu afraid of the second Martial Emperor?

Someone in the court directly said: "How is this possible? There are also humanitarians: "Qingzhou is now so rich, how can this be?" ”

Princess Huanji held the holy decree with both hands and handed it to her father-in-law beside the emperor, and the emperor personally looked at it, it was indeed written at intervals as Xue Yu said, and there were traces of smearing on it, and they were all written with dates.

Although the emperor was also shocked, he could accept that Cheng Ying had passed on the matter of Qingzhou to him, especially the time when Emperor Taizu was ill in Yangzhou.

Princess Huanji did not flatter Emperor Taizu and the concubine, not only respect, but more family affection that the royal family did not have. Emperor Taizu cherishes it very much, and he cherishes it very much. This is also the reason why he listened to Emperor Taizu's words so much and indulged Princess Huanji.

The emperor thought to himself, no matter how moved Emperor Taizu was, he would not do anything that would harm the Tang Dynasty, what did Princess Huanji do to make Emperor Taizu so relieved.

The emperor asked, "What about the golden whip left by Emperor Taizu?" ”

Xue Yu replied: "Xue Dongwei, the grandson of the minister, is waiting outside the hall with a golden whip. ”

The emperor said: "Xuan." ”

Xue Dongwei came in with a golden whip in his hand.

The emperor got up and took the golden whip in person, with the words 'Beat the unconscious king, beat the minister' eight big characters on it.

The emperor personally handed over the golden whip to Princess Huanji.

Princess Huanji touched it with a whip, and said in her heart: Father, you are a bad person, I don't count my life for you, if you die, you will let me work for your grandson, you are a big bad person. I thought so, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

The emperor walked straight out, and his father-in-law hurriedly shouted to retreat......

Everyone in the hall saw that the emperor had left, and they also planned to leave.

Princess Huanji held the golden whip to block Qin Renmei's way and said, "Lord Qin, is this going to leave?" I don't hate you, but you can't forget me, shouldn't we settle the account just now? “

After Xue Yu saw it, he walked a few steps and left the main hall, and the others also left one after another, they didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

Qin Renmei said: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the minister is just doing things according to the rules. “

Huan Ji sneered: "The Queen Mother rebelled, I hope you will also follow the rules in this matter, I heard that this matter is related to your good son-in-law, you don't want to cover it up then." “

Huan Ji left directly after speaking.

Sima Yunfei looked at the scene in front of him and pulled Xue Dongwei away.

Xue Dongwei was dragged by Sima Yunfei and couldn't break free, and Sima Yunfei didn't answer a question, so he kept going out of Daming Palace.

After the two of them arrived outside the door, Sima Yunfei saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Who is she?" “

Xue Dongwei asked, "Who?" “

Sima Yunfei said, "Princess." “

Xue Dongwei was stunned for a moment and said: "You asked the wrong person, whose daughter is the princess, only the emperor and the concubine know, presumably even the emperor doesn't know, how can I know." “

Sima Yunfei said: "I want to know the truth of the matter. “

Xue Dongwei broke free and said: "If you want to know, just go and ask me in person, and ask me what an outsider is." With that, he left.

Princess Huanji returned to the mourning hall, and the matter in the court had spread, and everyone knew that because of the matter of Concubine Yang, Princess Huanji broke into the political palace, and the emperor did not punish the crime, not to mention that he also killed a few people who said that Concubine Yang.

Neither the concubines, nor the princes or princesses dared to speak, and they were also afraid of the golden whip. The main thing is that the first one was beaten, and that was not a shame to be thrown home.

The queen is now locked up in Fengyi Palace, and the relevant personnel have also tightened the prison of the Criminal Department, and the trial will begin as soon as the 100-day mourning period has passed.

Huan Ji has now let people start to investigate, and there are many people involved this time, but if she doesn't find out, she will never give up.

In the past, she did not have the right identity to intervene in court affairs, but now she can intervene at will.

After six months of investigation, Huan Ji dug out all the people involved in the case, whether they were relatives of the emperor or ministers of the court, and also dug out a prince and the two princesses of the queen mother who were also involved in this matter.

And just as Huan Ji expected, Xue Renmei's son-in-law was also involved in this matter, not to mention Xue Renmei's son-in-law, even Xue Renmei's daughter didn't run away. The emperor was unwilling to be a villain in this matter, so Princess Huanji recommended herself. (To be continued.) )
