Chapter 403: The Upper Dynasty
It seems that it is just to confirm Mei Cangyun's crime, on the third day after Ye Xici and the crown prince returned to Beijing, the emperor went to court and ordered all civil and military officials to be present, even those who took sick leave, as long as they did not die, they had to go to the court even if they were carried to the court.
At the same time, Su Wanfu and Su Gonggong personally came to Anwang's Mansion to preach the will, asking Fang to go to the palace with a smile and an order to correct Mei Cangyun's crimes.
It is said that as the princess of King An, she has an exclusive court dress that cannot be overcome. It's just that the emperor gave her another first-class edict and issued a court uniform, and Fang Xiaoyu almost didn't wear it. This time, the emperor seemed to be quite formal, and the holy decree asked her to wear court clothes to the palace.
Fang Xiaoyu is a must. Because at the beginning, all the crimes that corrected Mei Cangyun were all started by Fang Xiaoyu, and the outside world also paid special attention to this matter. Before the matter ended, there were already countless speculations and rumors, both of them were towards Fang Xiaoyu and Mei Cangyun, each of them was not convinced by the other, and there were some quarrels from time to time. It's just that the parties have not come forward, and no matter how noisy and noisy everyone is, they can't control the outcome.
Fang Xiaoyu was neatly dressed, feeling uncomfortable. Yipin's command suit can be described as very gorgeous, but the more gorgeous the thing, the heavier it is, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
Because Ye Xici and King An also wanted to go to court, the three of them went together. King An was alone in a carriage, and Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xi were in a carriage.
Although there is a decree, it is a very rare thing for a woman to come to the court, and when Fang Xiaoyu stepped into the main hall, she successfully attracted the attention of all the courtiers.
I have to say that if Fang Xiaoyu is dressed up, it is really extraordinary, the foundation is there, although the beauty is not to the point of captivating the country, but it is also a beauty embryo, plus he has experienced the reincarnation of many superiors, he has a kind of domineering spirit, and he may not feel that he wears it casually on weekdays, but he can wear such clothes as a command, from design to production, complicated and redundant, but also gorgeous and graceful.
Fang Xiaoyu's arrival successfully attracted everyone's attention, some people nodded slightly to her to show friendship, and naturally some people snorted coldly and disdained her.
Among them, Shang Jingwei's expression is the most hideous.
This vicious woman who single-handedly forced his daughter to death and killed his son with his own hands, he wanted to dismantle the other party's body and could not vent his anger and resentment. But he could only watch her in gorgeous court clothes, standing on the same court hall as him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Shang Jingwei stared at Fang Xiaoyu with resentful eyes, and swore to his son and daughter in his heart that one day, he would avenge them and make Fang Xiaoyu pay the price!
This reminded him of the mysterious man who suddenly appeared. This person was unexpected, yet elusive. But the more this happened, the more he felt that he had hope of revenge. Otherwise, relying on his own ability, it would be difficult for the other party's laughter to cause any substantial damage.
Fang Xiaoyu naturally ignored Shang Jingwei's dead fish face, and followed her father-in-law who led her in all the way to the position arranged for her in advance.
And if she looked forward, she could just see Prime Minister Mei Cangyun's unwavering face, he was looking at her, looking at her expressionlessly.
If it weren't for Fang Xiaoyu's ability to see the world, I am afraid that Mei Cangyun would be stared at and stunned. It's a kind of momentum that has been in the top position for a long time, and it's not something that just anyone can have.
As the head of the civil officials, Mei Cangyun can be said to be the most powerful person in this court besides the emperor, but unfortunately, today he has to wait anxiously for the ending arranged for him by the emperor.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to everyone's curiosity or disdain for her, but just looked at Mei Cangyun's gaze, giving him a smile to provoke.
Mei Cangyun's eyes narrowed, and those who were familiar with him knew that he showed such an expression, afraid that he had already had murderous intent in the other party's laughter.
But Fang Xiaoyu is not a vegetarian. If it comes to murderousness, she is a person who has been on the battlefield in the rivers and lakes, and the people who are folded in her hands do not know how many, how can she be afraid of an old man who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle?
So she didn't flinch and looked at each other, and both of them saw the killing in each other's eyes.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't scare him at all, Mei Cangyun frowned and turned her face away. He stood in the first row, not talking to anyone, just looking like who owed him the same money, and exuded an aura that no one should enter.
"The emperor is in court, and the ministers bow down!" At this time, Su Wanfu shouted, the emperor was dressed in a dragon robe and wore a crown, sat on the dragon chair with great majesty, and then swept everyone under his head with a sharp gaze.
"Knock on the emperor, long live the emperor!" All the courtiers knelt down and exclaimed.
"Zhongqing is flat." The throne opened his mouth flatly, and Fang Xiaoyu found that his aura was not as majestic as when he first went to court, but at this moment, he gradually showed fatigue.
Fang Xiaoyu immediately thought that Ye Shucheng and the person behind the curtain still didn't know that the poison of 'forgetting worries' in the emperor's body had been resolved. The emperor didn't seem to want to expose the fact of his health so quickly, but continued to pretend to be ill in order to paralyze those who had evil intentions in line with what she said.
Most of the courtiers had already sensed the tiredness on the emperor's face. Obviously, he has just been in the court, and he hasn't said a word, but he has already shown that he is tired, it seems that the emperor's health has indeed been ill recently, and the rumors may not be groundless.
The loyal ministers have a deep worry on their faces, while the traitors also have their own thoughts.
"Your Majesty." The courtiers were all in an uproar, and they all stood up.
Su Wanfu stood beside the emperor, and his eyes were very light, and he found the location of Fang Xiaoyu. Although there are many courtiers, Fang Xiao's words are too conspicuous, just like a little red in the green bushes, which catches people's eyes lightly.
Su Wanfu also looked at her with a smile. He nodded slightly to say hello, but he didn't dare to make any more moves.
"In the court today, I have a big thing to say. Before I mention this, what should Zhong Aiqing do? "The emperor is more like whetting everyone's appetites.
Then there were lengthy and various militaristic events, ranging from major matters related to the security of the country to trivial matters, and the courtiers began to play them one by one.
"Initiating the sacred, the minister has the right to play." At this time, a person suddenly came out of the queue and said loudly.
"Oh? What does Chen Aiqing have to play? Let's hear it. The emperor narrowed his eyes, as if he also wanted to know what this Chen Cheng was going to say.
"On the Holy Gift, the ministers should participate in King An and the prince." This person named Chen Cheng pointed the finger at King An's Mansion from the beginning.
King An had a calm face, Ye Xici raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to care about this person's accusations.
"Why did Chen Aiqing want to join King An and the prince, tell me in detail." The emperor asked, hiding the irony and sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Qi Yu Emperor, the minister Shen'an and the prince were not strict in discipline, and instructed the princess to openly slander the prime minister's innocence, and asked the emperor to punish the two of them.
The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth hooked, and he thought in his heart, hey, this is still coming towards her. was so worried about a Yan Yushi, and I was a little excited in my heart.
This person's name is Chen Cheng, and he is the history of the dynasty.
What is the Imperial History? In fact, it is a certain branch of the imperial history. They were responsible for supervising the memoranda handed over by the ministers in advance, and finding important ones from them and reporting them to the emperor.
Like ordinary imperial historians, they have the right to listen to the wind, and because they are almost in charge of the direction of the music, they are also feared or flattered by many ministers.
Chen Cheng has always been a person who listens to the wind and rain. There is no way to comment on his good or bad, but when it comes to the affairs of the previous dynasty, he seems to be 'conscientious' and abide by what he should do and say in the imperial history, and it is almost impossible to find trouble.
Fang Xiaoyu sneered, it is worthy of Mei Cangyun, at this time, he is going to take out such a person who can speak well, he is going to beat him up first and put the charge on him.
"Oh? Mei Aiqing thinks so? The emperor glanced at Mei Cangyun with a playful expression. It seemed that he was asking the prime minister's opinion, but in fact, it had already frightened countless courtiers.
The emperor was angry, and the war between Mei Cangyun, the prime minister of the dynasty and Fang Xiaoyu, the princess of King An, was completely kicked off!
"Your Majesty, the old minister is indeed wronged." Mei Cangyun looked extremely aggrieved, because of his age, many people sympathized with him, but this was the last thing Fang Xiaoyu wanted to see.
"That being the case, Princess An." The emperor seemed to think for a moment, and then looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in formal court clothes.
"The courtiers are here." Fang Xiaoyu stood in the middle.
"Mei Aiqing said that you deliberately spread rumors to slander him, do you have an explanation?" The emperor looked expressionless, but it was completely unclear from his face that he was biased towards anyone.
Fang Xiaoyu was not arrogant or impatient: "Your Majesty, the rumors are not spread by the courtiers, but those rumors outside are true!" ”
Fang Xiaoyu's words caused an uproar.
Is this about to start? The dignified prime minister at the head of the civil official, and Fang Xiaoyu, the princess, will end with whose victory and whose defeat?
"What do you say?" The emperor's face did not change, but only asked.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have found out that the invasion of Beiyan by the Quicksand Country was promoted by the prime minister. For his own selfish desires, the prime minister disregarded the safety of the people of Beiyan, led a rebellion in the Zhenyuan army, used the art of disguise, lied about the military aircraft, and deceived the soldiers, so that the generals fell into a trick and almost persecuted General Zhenyuan. Fang Xiaoyu looked sad, the pitiful expression that almost lost her father and husband appeared on Fang Xiaoyu's face so abruptly, which caught people off guard, and repeatedly sighed that this woman's acting skills were supreme and breathtaking.
"This is not a trivial matter, do you have proof?" The Emperor frowned.
Fang Xiaoyu seemed to be expecting, so he took out a few paper rolls and handed them to Su Wanfu, who presented them to the emperor, and then said: "The courtiers entered Beiyan alone, and fortunately met the seriously injured and fled father and prince, so they were rescued, and asked the reason, and learned that the father was betrayed by his cronies and led 50,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the battle, but the other party had no choice but to send reinforcements, and the father understood that he was not able to defeat the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops, so he ordered to collect troops and return to the city, but unexpectedly was rejected by the guards, so that the 50,000 army was almost wiped out, Only one or twenty escaped from the tiger's mouth. Among them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also among them, and the emperor can ask His Royal Highness the Prince, and the courtiers do not talk nonsense. ”
Saying that, Fang Xiaoyu continued: "Afterwards, the courtiers sneaked into the border city and contacted Lord Luo, and learned that the person who ordered the city gate not to be opened was Lord Liang Boliang, my father's confidant. The courtiers thought that Vice General Liang had betrayed her father, so she secretly collected evidence and found that Vice General Zhou An Zhou and Vice General Huai Nanhuai were imprisoned in the dungeon of the Shou General's Mansion, but Vice General Liang was temporarily in charge of the Zhenyuan Army and threatened Lord Luo to cooperate. Afterwards, after the investigation of the courtiers, it turned out that Deputy General Liang and all the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army had received orders from their father, and when their father ordered that they were not allowed to open the city gate, they pretended to betray and paralyze the enemy army. But the courtier's daughter once saved her father, but her father never mentioned it. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also testify that this order was not given by the father. So after the investigation of the courtiers, Deputy General Liang was deceived by some of his captains, and regarded the imposter who disguised himself as his father as his father, and he never had any suspicions, so he was fooled and almost made a mistake. Vice General Liang felt guilty in his heart, and fought to the death in the battle with the quicksand country, and finally stained the battlefield with blood. And the courtier's daughter verified that several captains who bewitched Deputy General Liang were all under the orders of Prime Minister Mei, so they did this. In the paper scroll presented by the courtiers, there are the confessions of these captains, and they confessed that it was Prime Minister Mei who wanted to seize the military power of the Zhenyuan army, so he ordered them to take this opportunity to cooperate with the enemy of the quicksand country, put their father to death, and then get rid of the three deputy generals, so that they could install chess pieces and secretly control the Zhenyuan army. Not only that, but Deputy General Sun Yunsun, who was greedy for merit and made the 100,000 army annihilated, was also promoted by Prime Minister Mei. The courtiers suspected that he had done this on purpose, causing heavy losses to the Zhenyuan army and shaking the morale of the army. The prime minister's plan is bound to be very big. ”――
