Chapter Ninety-Six: It's You
Yuanxin felt very depressed after listening to Cheng Zheng's persuasion, and went out for a walk. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info found a small restaurant to drink until the night, and finally came back in a daze. Seeing that there were still people guarding the door, Yuanxin said drunkly, "You haven't slept yet, are you waiting for me?" ”
Seeing that Yuanxin was back, the subordinate stepped forward in a panic to help, "Second master, you are back, it's not good!" ”
Yuanxin didn't care, blinked his confused eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" I don't come home in the middle of the night, my brother is angry? ”
The subordinate hurriedly said, "No, Second Master, Master Hou was captured by the Imperial Forest Army!" ”
"What!" Yuanxin woke up with a spirited wine, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know the little one, it is said that it was ordered by the emperor himself, and it was said that it was related to the abolition of the prince."
Yuanxin panicked, "What about Jinfeng?" ”
The servant speculated, "Lord Jinfeng didn't come to the mansion tonight, and he may have been taken away from other places......
"What to do? What to do? Yuanxin suddenly had no master, and his mind was like a mess of threads, and he couldn't grasp any clues.
The servant persuaded, "Second master, you should go back to the house first and then think of ideas." ”
Yuanxin nodded Mu Ran, but turned around and left, he went to the military and political center to ask Wei Hai to inquire about the news, and waited restlessly for a night, fantasizing about 10,000 possibilities in his mind, isn't the emperor sick, isn't it the eldest princess acting as the agent of state affairs, why would the emperor order my brother to be arrested? Who gave evidence to the emperor? How can I save him?
Until dawn, Wei Hai returned, shook his head and said that he had not found any news, and the people concerned were tight-lipped as if they had been specially arranged.
Yuanxin took a deep breath, and after a night of thinking about it made him calm down enough, he went back to the house to change his clothes, ate breakfast calmly, and then entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Ming An said that the emperor was unwell and refused to meet him.
Seeing Yuanxin's sad face, Ming An reminded that he could go to King Hong'an, because King Hong'an went in and out of the emperor's palace twice in a row yesterday, which seemed to be related to the matter of Duanhou.
Yuanxin thanked him and left, and went to the Hong'an Palace.
There was still no one to get Yuanxin in, Minxuan was playing chess leisurely alone in the pavilion, and he was not surprised to see Yuanxin coming, and said gently, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Yuanxin saw that he had premeditated, so he didn't say anything, and sat across from him and waited for him to speak.
Min Xuan put away the chess pieces and said, "Cheng Zheng is in my hands, and I asked the emperor to arrest him." A reason that you absolutely cannot refute and cannot do anything about. Min Xuan threw the chess pieces he picked up into the box and said confidently, "He designed Min Che a few years ago, causing Min Che to be deposed from the position of crown prince, you must have heard of this." ”
Yuanxin had nothing to say, this matter was done by Cheng Zheng, but Yuanxin didn't know anything about the details. Min Xuan continued, "Since I can send him in, I can rescue him, and I have persuaded the emperor to submit this case to me for review, and it will be easy to clear his name. ”
"Condition." Yuanxin's first sentence is also very straightforward.
Min Xuan said bluntly, "Help me deal with it." ”
Yuanxin said disdainfully, "You arrested my brother just to threaten me?" ”
Min Xuan did not deny it, "If you have to think so, you can do that." ”
Yuanxin got up to leave, "Let Your Highness be disappointed." ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Min Xuan asked, "Can you really put Cheng Zheng's life at risk?" ”
Yuanxin said firmly, "It's even more impossible for me to ignore the achievements of the Yun Clan. ”
Min Xuan smiled with relief and praised, "Good temperament." But I've heard that I've summoned you yesterday, and if I'm right, there must have been a deal between you, and the memo for your impeachment was written by someone I ordered to be a temptation. If you can promise to help her, why can't you help me? ”
Yuanxin defended, "This is different, I am not helping the eldest princess, I am for the stability of the capital." ”
"So you don't help me, just a high-sounding reason, right? Then you might as well take a look at this. Min Xuan handed Yuanxin a notebook.
Yuanxin opened it and looked at it, and what was recorded in it was all the crimes since he came to power, such as fake public welfare for personal gain, reckless disregard for human life, disregard for the dynasty, forming a party for personal gain, etc., all of which are reasonable and well-founded.
Yuanxin stared at Min Xuan straight after reading it, as if he was looking for something from his eyes, and Min Xuan felt that his whole person was about to be seen through by him, and he was hairy.
Yuanxin opened his mouth deeply, but what he mentioned was not the content of the song, "Is Menghan really dead?" ”
Min Xuan wondered, "Why do you say this?" ”
Yuanxin handed the fold to Min Xuan, and said with a solemn expression, "When I made a mistake and was confined to my brother in the Zhenxi Palace, Menghan wrote a "Chen Qing Table" for me to transcribe in order to impress my brother. ”
Min Xuan explained calmly, "Menghan once told me everything between you, I remember this sentence, the feelings are sincere, and they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so I quoted it." ”
Yuanxin nodded, expressed his belief, and asked, "Why didn't Your Highness give it to the emperor, why did you show it to me?" ”
Seeing that he was no longer entangled in Menghan's affairs, Min Xuan's heart calmed down and replied, "I just want to tell you, what kind of person is the prince you want to serve, and will she be the emperor in the future, are you willing?" ”
Yuanxin said seriously, "Then His Highness is not noble?" If this is true, I will think that the eldest princess is vicious, and at the same time, I am even more suspicious of how many henchmen Her Highness has attracted during this time. If the recital is fake, then what is His Highness's intention? The battle for the throne has nothing to do with me, I will only lead the Yun clan with all my heart and serve the emperor, and I will never participate in anything else. If His Highness has nothing else to do, the minister will retire. ”
Yuanxin left without looking back, Min Xuan looked at his back, not angry because he was rejected, not unwilling to win him over, but gradually appeared a satisfied smile.
In the secret room, Min Xuan couldn't hide his joy and said to the person under the candle, "You didn't see the wrong person. ”
The man raised his head and revealed a pale face, it was Menghan, she smiled bitterly, "I'm so heartbroken, he used to value love and righteousness, and he valued feelings more than anything else, how much pain did he endure to get to where he is today." ”
Min Xuan approached and comforted, "He asked about you today, I quoted one of your words, and he saw it, it seems that although you are a good storyteller, you can't find it." ”
Menghan asked nervously, "Did he find out?" What did he say? ”
Min Xuan recounted the before and after, and Meng Han asked, "Does he believe it?" ”
Min Xuan replied, "At least I didn't ask any more questions, I should have believed it." ”
Menghan's expression darkened, and he said to himself, "He should have forgotten about me a long time ago." ”
Min Xuan sighed, "Father's health is getting worse and worse, he can't last long, he has been afraid of the Yun Clan all his life, but he can't do without the Yun Clan, before parting, he wants to test Yuanxin's loyalty, Yuanxin can pass this test, not being co-opted by others, not being threatened by others, it is really rare." ”
Meng Han was still uneasy, "What about Cheng Zheng?" ”
Min Xuan was relieved, "Actually, this matter is just a gimmick, he handled the matter of pulling Min Che down very cleanly, and I only heard about it a little, and there was no real evidence, so I was released after a while." ”
"Okay." Meng Han nodded weakly, and stretched out his hand to his head, "Give me a tranquilizer." ”
Min Xuan asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Got another headache? You've drunk too many tranquilizers, which is not good for your health. ”
"But I can't hold it without drinking." Menghan rubbed her temples in pain.
Min Xuan was helpless, he had tried to stop Menghan's medicine, but seeing that her life was worse than death, she was so painful that she even wanted to commit suicide, and finally couldn't bear it. Two years ago, Yao Luo noticed a killer in the palace, and handed over the news to Min Xuan, who found a stand-in for Meng Han to help her escape, but now Meng Han is addicted to drugs and his body is getting weaker and weaker.
Min Xuan entered the palace to report to the emperor, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, Min Xuan was talking to the emperor in front of the bed, and when he saw that he came with the palace maid with a medicine bowl, he retreated.
As soon as he helped the emperor to get up, he carefully waited to feed the emperor with medicine, and then returned to the emperor for political affairs.
Yilin came out of the emperor's dormitory, passed through the imperial garden and was stopped by Min Xuan. Min Xuan retreated from everyone and asked, "How many days does my father have left?" ”
Yilin asked, "My father is the Son of Heaven, and his longevity is boundless, but he is just in poor health, how can the imperial brother say such a rebellious word?" ”
Min Xuan sneered, "Longevity? Is this how you lied to your father all day long? The father was deceived by his own daughter, the prince he set up with his own hands, it was really miserable. ”
Yilin turned his head, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”
"You don't understand me to explain, your imperial brother and I are the most patient, you secretly sent someone to the palace today to bring you a poison, if it is not used in your father's medicine bowl, is it that you make tea and drink it yourself?" Min Xuan smiled sinisterly.
Yi Lin said angrily, "Don't spray people with blood, your father is seriously ill, you don't do your filial piety in front of the bed every day, and the time you free up is to play right and wrong behind your back?" ”
Min Xuan was even more proud, "My sister's mouth is good at kung fu, you are already the prince, this country will be yours sooner or later, what are you anxious about?" Are you in such a hurry to send your father on the road? My father treats you well on weekdays, could it be that my father has done something that makes you unbearable, and you can't wait? What did my father do? Let me think about it. Father arrested Cheng Zheng. You won't do this for Cheng Zheng, there are ancient kings who killed courtiers with a smile for the Pomeranians, and my sister really has the model of a king, and even her biological father has to harm her biological father for Cheng Zheng. ”
"Don't forget that I am the prince, if you offend me, you should not say subtlety." As soon as he was exposed, he became angry and threw down a sentence and left quickly.
Yes, I can't wait, I can't let you take risks, Cheng Zheng, for you, I can do anything. It wasn't until today that I realized how important you are to my heart and how much I don't want to lose you. The matter of abolishing the prince was originally caused by me, but now it has been revealed, and my father must have real evidence to order you to be arrested, and you will definitely die if the crime is confirmed.
The only way I can save you is to inherit the throne as soon as possible, and take over the power of life and death before my father can dispose of you. My father is dying, and it is difficult for his condition to get better, and I just sent him on the road a few days earlier, and if I can save your life because of this, I have no regrets.
When you learned that I killed Yao Menghan that day, you rushed to my palace and said that I was ruthless and femme fatale, you were right, I was like this. I didn't know it myself, but I was so ruthless for you, a femme fatale.
I regret that I shouldn't have given you to others from the beginning, I shouldn't have easily cut off our relationship for 20 years, and I shouldn't have taken the initiative to give up on you, but now I realize that you are the most important thing in my heart, and I would rather not have you without you. I don't want to lose you again, I'm willing to take anything in exchange, even if someone finds out that I am a rebel and bear the infamy of the ages, I will not hesitate to do it. At this point, I just want to save you.
