Chapter 111: Brave Admonition to the Golden Palace
The moonlit night shrouded Lin'an, and people fell into a deep sleep, quiet and silent.
Outside the city, the mountain wind whimpered, the bamboo trees fluttered, the birds cried in fright, the distant rivers were flooded with nameless light boats, and the river beach was full of reeds waving in the wind.
The door was shut, the lantern swayed gracefully under the eaves, and the piles of leaves were thick and damp, giving off the smell of decay, and when the wind blew, they rolled up and flew vigorously, and blew away from the stone steps, and blew through a pair of shoes, a stretch of horns, and into the unknown distance.
The door opened from the inside, and a white hand came to the door frame. The handsome young man stood in his clothes, the outline of his face looming, and the silver frost-like light fell on the pair of Ruifeng eyes, dyed with melancholy.
Ninety thousand arched his sleeves and shook his hands, and bowed his head solemnly. Qu Yi stared at every movement of the people below. This day will come eventually, and no one can predict it, and no one can stop it.
Although the jade plate in the sky is beautiful, it has to endure thousands of years of loneliness, cold and loneliness.
Just like he was at the moment, his mind was in turmoil. At the moment when Jiu Wan appeared, he seemed to be in great fear, and the darkness consumed him mercilessly. Fan Xin closed his eyes, and a sullen breath lingered in his chest, which did not dissipate for a long time, so that he could not relax for a moment. His head rested on the white elm tree, and he couldn't help but clench the sword in his chest.
When the door opened again, Fan Xin opened her eyes and stood up straight.
"Childe."
"It's time for us to prepare."
Fan Xin looked at him in confusion. Qu Yi was fully dressed, standing on a high place, looking at him gloomily.
"She's really in trouble this time."
King Changshan killed Yin Tong, the son of King Hailing, Lin'an caused an uproar, the court was in an uproar, and the princes were shocked. Even if Emperor Hongjia has the heart to protect him, King Hailing has lost his son, how can he give up, according to his temperament, he must ask for justice before he agrees, even if he is still detained in Lin'an at this time, the 100,000 army of Hailing Kingdom is always on standby, and the troubled times are long, and there can be no regeneration of civil strife. The eldest princess of Yang Zhai was immediately escorted back to Beijing.
It is too rash to be convicted with just a three-winged bamboo arrow and a piece of a kingfisher feather that has been torn off. Qu Yi had already disobeyed the order to stay, and at this time, it was even more inappropriate to trespass into the Lin'an chaos and add chaos, so he could only send a letter back to the Lin'an Gongsun Mansion and ask the lord to try to delay the process of this matter.
Yin Tong's death, Mrs. Zhuang Yi has heard about it, and if she doesn't ask Qu Yi, she will also enter the palace to ask.
The day after King Changshan returned to Lin'an, all the princes in Beijing participated in the early dynasty, discussing how King Changshan should be convicted, and Zhao Dang advised that it was not too late to find sufficient evidence to convict people, after all, only with ironclad evidence in hand could people be convinced, while Xu Dang did not think so, they advocated cutting off the king of Changshan and recovering the fief of Changshan. The two factions held their own opinions and quarreled fiercely in the temple. This time, the court council was very intense, and even the princess Zhuang Yi, who had not been out of the house for many years but only asked about state affairs, suddenly appeared in the Spiegel Palace.
Lord Zhuang Yi arrived at the end of the early dynasty. The eldest son, Gongsun Dalang, helped her to stand in the Chengming Palace, and the Lord Zhuang Yi beat the drum with a cane, and the sound of the drum woke up the ministers in the palace.
Yuan Ying stood up from the imperial couch when he arrived. Since she became governor, she hadn't heard the drum sound.
The drum is beaten, and the king shall not hinder it. Si Yan didn't dare to intercept it, and hurried to the Spiegel Hall to play.
Mrs. Zhuang Yi walked into the court hall with a cane. She is nearly eighty-five years old, full of silver hair, but she looks energetic, and she walks briskly with a cane, not losing to young people. Yuan Ying was shocked, hurriedly withdrew from the imperial couch, and walked to the front of His Majesty.
"Lord!" Uncle Xu Guo stepped forward, "Not to mention that you entered the palace without the emperor's edict and beat the drum with a cane, which is already disrespectful to the monarch." "What Xu Xiao is afraid of is that she is coming, she must be the king of Changshan, and this henchman is about to get rid of it, how can he allow another accident.
"I haven't seen you for many years, my old body is old, and Uncle Xu Guo still speaks so thoughtlessly." Mrs. Zhuang Yi sneered, and the cane was the floor under his feet, and the words changed abruptly, "This cane of the old body is used by the emperor of the first emperor, and it was given by the emperor. Scold! You might as well touch your neck and see how many heads you have. ”
Without looking at the speechless Xu Xiao, the princess of Zhuang Yi turned his gaze to Emperor Hongjia. As an old man who has gone through three dynasties, Lord Zhuang Yi has the privilege of not kneeling when he sees the king.
She flicked her hands slightly and said, "The minister dared to see the king today, and only asked if the evidence of King Changshan's murder was sufficient?" If you can't come up with convincing evidence, please let the old man take her away, or ask His Majesty to take her out of the edict and place her in another place. ”
There are a lot of princes in the palace, and no one can benefit from-for-tat, but the princess Zhuang Yi is the kind of person who is afraid of things, she married the general when she was young, although she never charged into battle, no matter how big the battle is, she can not change her face. It is not unreasonable for important ministers like Xu Xiao to be afraid of her.
was so straightforward, Yuan Ying couldn't answer for a while.
"Where did Majesty draw its conclusions? Xu Xiao, King Hailing, Zhao Wei ......" she listed a few people, flicked her sleeves suddenly, and the silk silk rubbed between the hunting sounds, "If you are old, the first thing you do after killing Yin Tong is to destroy the evidence, and if you kill people and leave evidence everywhere to send yourself to hell and cut off your way of life, then she is simply stupid, the Yuan family gave birth to such a stupid person, it is better to force her to hand over the Wang seal as soon as possible and throw herself into the mountain temple to be a sister-in-law." ”
Her agitated voice shook everyone's ears.
"My lord, please be careful." Hailing King Road.
"King Hailing has just suffered the pain of losing his son, and his old body doesn't say much to you."
"But the Lord wants to exonerate the murderer of my son, how can the old minister be silent. As the saying goes, the criminal law does not avoid doctors, and the king of Changshan seeks to kill, so he should be brought to justice in order to revitalize the law and discipline of the Great Jin. ”
Lord Zhuang Yi sneered: "King Hailing said that the murderer is ridiculous. With bamboo arrows and kingfisher feathers, you can make up your mind early on whether it is too arbitrary. The old body sees that you can't wait to repay your personal grievances back then, and take the opportunity to play, are you so ill-intentioned to provoke chaos in many ways, do you want to put the Jin Kingdom where to rebel and rebel? ”
The other party spoke righteously and did not back down, and King Hailing choked. In front of this fierce and famous princess, the rest of the ministers did not dare to say much.
"The old man has lived long enough, and he is not afraid to speak out. His Majesty appointed slanderous ministers and courtiers, and was played and applauded by some traitors and villains who were dangerous, blinded state affairs, and let them go, and avoided using loyal and loyal ministers. His Majesty is already in his twentieth year, and he should understand the truth of 'far from the villain and the virtuous minister', which teaches an emperor how to become a virtuous king who is supported by the people, how to plan the world, and create a prosperous civilization. King Changshan was involved in the danger of murdering Yin Tong, the evidence was insufficient, and this approach was heart-wrenching. Lord Zhuang Yi made a generous statement, and his eyes were red several times, "Your Majesty thinks that the minister is presumptuous and desecrated, so please give me a death, so that the country will not be corrupted in the future, and tell me to be the slave of the dead country." ”
The old man's heartfelt words made Yuan Ying's face red and his ears red, and he almost couldn't raise his head.
