Section 217 Judgment of mercy and righteousness
The cold wind with snowflakes in winter blew Han Ling's cheeks red, Xu Shuxuan touched Han Ling's cheeks in distress, and whispered softly in her hope: "It's okay......"
Just three words were like spring flowers blooming and ice and snow melting, making the whole world warm because of his smile. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Han Ling suddenly burst into tears, and drop after drop of crystal sparkle slipped from the corners of his eyes.
Qiao'er saw Han Ling crying with joy, and couldn't help but cry too.
"Shizi, you can be regarded as coming back, Madame is about to die, don't you know, just now the eldest princess came to Tingyulou to make a big fuss, and she almost ...... with Shang Fang's sword."
"Qiao'er, don't talk about it!" Han Ling hurriedly interrupted, and said with a smile to Xu Shuxuan: "I'm okay here, you don't have to worry." β
Xu Shuxuan's face sank, his eyes were full of heartache and worry, he suddenly picked Han Ling up horizontally, walked straight into the warm pavilion that burned the earth dragon, as if treating her as a fragile glass doll, and sat on a Zimu stepping bed, and then examined her body in an all-round way.
Seeing that the prince was so nervous about Mrs. Shizi, Qiao'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, and after closing the door, she hurriedly ordered a second-class maid to go to the kitchen to arrange boiling water, and she and Mama Yu were also busy making a starting point for Shizi and Mrs. Shizi - because of today's events, Mrs. Shizi has no appetite to eat until now, and now that Shizi Ye is back safe and sound, she should be able to eat something, right?
And the warmth in the warm pavilion is also heating up at an unforeseen rate, the two have not seen each other for most of the day, as if they have survived the catastrophe, and they feel that every moment of getting along with each other is so hard-won.
Xu Shuxuan kept asking: "Did the eldest princess hurt you, and where did you hurt it?" β
Han Ling was embarrassed by Xu Shuxuan's cautious and nervous movements, so he whispered: "I'm not so delicate, I also went to the battlefield in my last life, and I have experienced the cruelty of the battlefield of war, how can I not be shocked by the toss in this back house?" β
Have you ever been on the battlefield? Hearing this, Xu Shuxuan was as relaxed as her, and only felt more sad and painful.
"Ah Ling, I'm really sorry, until now, I haven't been able to give you a stable life!"
Han Ling saw that his affectionate starry eyes were obviously full of guilt, and he couldn't help but hold his cheeks, and said with a smile: "What is stable and unstable, with you, how to live is good, besides, after this incident, I think the eldest princess will definitely not have a chance to trouble us in the future!" β
If she guessed correctly, the picture scroll that Qin Fu took away must be the one depicting the private meeting between the eldest princess and the Tarot prince, although this cannot be the most powerful evidence of their secret communication, but with the scene of that private meeting, it can also make the suspicious emperor ponder.
"Why don't you tell me about my grandfather's family? It's happening, but you let me wait at home, but you can tell me, how did you solve it? Han Ling simply changed the subject, his tone slightly disgusted.
Xu Shuxuan was amused by her look of anger and anger, and couldn't help but sell it, gently scratched her nose, and said, "It's a trumped-up charge, how can they find real evidence?" β
"But Yan Xiang's father and son muster so many imperial historians for impeachment, they must have been premeditated and made all possible measures, didn't they create false evidence to plant dirt?"
Xu Shuxuan smiled again and replied: "Naturally, there are false witnesses, but how can they be more convincing than real evidence?" β
Still selling me guanzi, Han Ling pretended to be unhappy and glared at him.
I heard him smile even more proudly: "They did find some secret letters from the Yang family, but they were not the secret letters of the Yang family, but the secret letters of Yan Xiang's father and son!" As for the fake certificates they want to blame the Yang family, they have already been disposed of by your fifth uncle! β
"This time your fifth uncle was indeed cheated by someone, it should be his classmate friend Li Fuyan of the military department Langzhong Li Fuyan when he visited him once, put those false certificates in his study, but these so-called letters were just turned out by your cousin Xizhi and burned on the spot, this was originally what happened yesterday, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the court today, the officials of Yan Xiang and his party gathered together to carry out such a vigorous bombing."
Cousin Xi Zhi is indeed very fond of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, especially the study of the fourth and fifth uncles, Han Ling couldn't help laughing in his heart, it was so dangerous, this time it was Cousin Xi Zhi who solved the crisis by mistake.
However, Han Ling quickly turned his mind back to the sentence in front of Xu Shuxuan: Yan Xiang's father and son's secret letter?
"You just said that they found the secret letter of Yan Xiang's father and son?" Han Ling asked in astonishment.
Xu Shuxuan nodded, his wise eyes full of meaningful pride.
"Are those secret letters that Yun Niang stole from the Yan Mansion? Is that the book you got from your master? β
Xu Shuxuan nodded again.
Han Ling was stunned suddenly, and after a long while, he asked, "How did you put that book at my grandfather's house?" I heard Wushuang say that you didn't ask the emperor to invite the people of the three divisions to search in the Anguo Mansion, and everyone was watching, how could you put that book in the Yang family? β
Xu Shuxuan saw Han Ling's nervous and happy expression, and smiled even more interestingly, and couldn't help but joke: "Who said that I was only put in the Yang family today, as early as when I went to the Anguo Mansion to propose marriage to your fourth uncle and mother, I gave that book to your fourth uncle as a small dowry, and your fourth uncle and mother both felt that I gave this dowry very sincerely, so they agreed to marry you to me." β
Han Ling's black grape-like eyes suddenly widened a little more, and he couldn't help but say with shame: "Okay! It turns out that you were ...... that day But you haven't told me about it......"
But the anger is the blame, how can you hide the excitement and ecstasy in your heart, that book is all the evidence of the framing of Zhongliang and Tongwei recorded by Yan Fan himself! In this way, it was searched out under the eyes of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the three major legal departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the evidence was ironclad, and the crimes of Yan Xiang's father and son could no longer be concealed, and now even the emperor had to retry the old case!
Thinking that this treacherous father and son framed the Yang family and was calculated by Shu Xuan, Han Ling couldn't help laughing and crying, and said: "No wonder you would ask the emperor to ask the people of the three law divisions to go to the Yang family to search for evidence, it turns out that you were also premeditated, you just want the most fair and strict three law divisions in Da Yu to witness this evidence of Yan Xiang's father and son's crimes, so that the emperor can hardly retreat in the face of the power of the three law divisions, let them all do this notarization!" β
"Shu Xuan, why didn't I find out before, in fact, you are also quite black-bellied......"
Xu Shuxuan smiled happily, and suddenly said jokingly: "Yes, in fact, I am not a good person, maybe I am not the same as the eldest young master in your dream, will you regret marrying me?" β
Han Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about? I'm not blaming you, who is better if you are bad? I think you're ...... Very good......"
Seeing Han Ling's cheeks dyed with two flushes, Xu Shuxuan was even more happy, but he secretly said with a little sadness in his heart: Maybe I am really different from the person in your dream, fighting with traitors in the officialdom will inevitably stain my hands, and I don't know if I can maintain my heart after this battle of wisdom, but Ah Ling, I will never calculate you, it's good to marry you in this life!
Xu Shuxuan's thoughts, Han Ling couldn't guess, she was worried about another problem now.
"What about Mo Xuan and my cousin Yizhi? I heard Wushuang say that they went deep into the enemy camp and disappeared, and those imperial histories impeached them and said that they were suspected of defecting to the enemy, and the emperor was already suspicious by nature, and he was quite jealous of the Yang family, would it be ......?"
"No......" Xu Shuxuan interrupted immediately and said seriously, "This military intelligence report is fake, Lord Shoufu has already found out the person who falsely spread the military information, and he has already played the emperor!" β
"Is the military intelligence report fake? How can this be fake? Han Ling was inevitably surprised.
Xu Shuxuan replied: "It is a fake military intelligence report written by a general surnamed Wei who stole the private seal of Changguo Gong, and the real military intelligence report is good news, your fourth uncle led Mo Xuan to break into the enemy camp, but he has already broken Altan Khan's formation and defeated the enemy army, if he has time, he may be able to catch up before the year!" β
"Really? My uncle, they...... Win! "Han Ling couldn't believe that in the previous life, the Yang family was defeated, the whole army was annihilated, Altan Khan almost attacked the capital, and the troops came to the city, but in this life, in just two months, did he win this battle?
Han Ling couldn't help but cry with joy, so she threw herself into Xu Shuxuan's arms and cried uncontrollably, when Qiao'er came in with a plate of snacks, she happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It turns out that her young lady still has such a childish side.
No matter how lightly she was tactful, Han Ling heard the voice, and hurriedly got out of Xu Shuxuan's arms again.
Qiao'er saw that Han Ling was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The prince and the prince and the wife of the prince, please have dinner, Qiao'er will go out!" With that, he flew away like a rabbit.
Han Ling smiled helplessly, when his eyes fell on the dim sum on the table, he couldn't help but eat a large piece of it, Xu Shuxuan looked at her and laughed, Han Ling was embarrassed, so he said in disgust: "Just look at me and laugh at something, I can't eat it!" β
Who knew that Xu Shuxuan actually replied: "But I think you are more delicious than this table full of dim sum!" β
"You-" Han Ling was speechless with shame, so he simply buried his head and ignored him, continuing to eat the dim sum in his bowl, and occasionally quietly put his favorite jade celery shrimp in his bowl.
After finishing the dinner, Han Ling suddenly thought of another question.
"Shu Xuan, it suddenly occurred to me that although the crimes of Yan Xiang's father and son are about to be revealed, but Yan Fan is still hiding in my Wei State Mansion under the identity of Xu Qingxuan, do we want to ......?"
Xu Shuxuan quickly understood what she meant, nodded and said, "Yes, it's time for the Zhang family to redress this grievance!" β
"However, we don't know where the real Xu Qingxuan is?" Han Ling asked again.
Xu Shuxuan smiled and said, "I know ......"
*****
Different from the relaxed atmosphere of Tingyulou, in the Danyang Hall at this time, the eldest princess was worried and restless, especially when she heard that Xu Shuxuan came back from the court safely, she was even more anxious and immediately sent someone to find Xu Qingxuan!
As soon as she saw Xu Qingxuan, she asked with a slashed face: "How is it?" Has the Yang family been arrested and put in prison by the Criminal Department now, and has the emperor ordered their clan to be executed? β
But Xu Qingxuan, who was asked, had a very bad face, it should be said that since he heard the news that the people of the three divisions had left the Yang family and did not take anyone from the Yang family, a fire burned wildly in his heart, he really didn't expect that this fatal fight, a desperate throw, such a careful plan, would still fail in the end, just like seven years ago, the defeat was terrible, and the defeat was too much to prevent.
It's like shooting yourself in the foot!
How could he do such a stupid thing! And more than once!
At the sacrifice seven years ago, he originally wanted to use the words of the gods to let the emperor destroy the Yang family, but after the note with the words of the gods was passed to the emperor, it turned out to be "Divide the father and son, and cause chaos to the government".
Seven years later, he printed those secret letters with Yang Mingyu's private seal and secretly hid them in the Anguo Mansion, and when he was finally found out, the signatures on those secret letters turned out to be his own name - Yan Fan!
It's a big joke, it's God working against him!
Xu Qingxuan couldn't help but clench his fists and punched a pear wood table next to him, the table suddenly sank into a hole, the eldest princess trembled with fright, probably never found that this man with a weak surface had so much strength, the eldest princess's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
At this time, Xu Qingxuan was in no mood to continue to pretend to be weak, so he only smiled and asked rhetorically: "How are things going on aunt's side?" β
In the past, Xu Qingxuan didn't dare not answer the question raised by the eldest princess, but now, in the face of such a man with infinite strength as if he had eaten gunpowder, the eldest princess was cowardly, and she actually answered truthfully as a ghost: "The medical book you mentioned, Gonggong Qin has already taken it back to the palace and handed it over to the emperor, if it is really as you said, there is such a prescription recorded in it, then Xu Shuxuan's cover for the remnants of the criminal ministers and deceive the king is an ironclad fact!" β
Xu Qingxuan was not as optimistic as the eldest princess thought, today's lesson was too big for him, if it weren't for him still holding such a fake identity, he might have been arrested and imprisoned in the Criminal Department.
"Has the eldest aunt ever been in the eldest brother's study?" Xu Qingxuan asked instead.
The eldest princess's face turned pale, she couldn't tell the story of the stalemate with Han Ling in the Yulou and was finally driven out, and she felt ashamed, of course, she had something more panicked, that is, the picture scroll that Gonggong Qin took away - until now, she can only report a trace of luck, it is just Xu Shuxuan's improvisation, and it has nothing to do with her and Prince Tarot.
But by the next morning, her hope was dashed.
Chen Shizheng, as soon as she got up to make up, Gonggong Qin came with the holy decree, nothing else, just let her take Shang Fang's sword into the palace to see her.
The eldest princess, who had no sleep all night, hung a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and followed Gonggong Qin into the palace with the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor.
What surprised her was that this time Gonggong Qin did not bring her into the West Garden, but went directly to the emperor's imperial study, and from a distance, she could see several brocade guards standing outside the door of the imperial study, and Wang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Cheng Jing, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Master Suo of the Imperial Procuratorate seemed to have just come out of the imperial study.
When the three adults and the eldest princess met and saluted, they all had solemn expressions on their faces, which made the eldest princess's heart also hang uneasily.
And just as she happened to walk outside the door of the imperial study, she heard the sound of the porcelain being smashed inside, as well as the emperor's angry thunderous scolding.
"Is it that you and the scholars of the Yan University deliberately framed the Yang family, you are really good at it, most of the officials in the court have been bribed by the two of you, if you don't see this picture, wouldn't I continue to be kept in the dark by you and ruin my reputation!"
"Father, the son is wronged, you can't just rely on a picture scroll to conclude that this Yang family's incident was done by the son, maybe this picture scroll was deliberately painted by someone who wanted to frame the son, this is not true!"
"Won't I be able to tell if it's true or fake? The painter's brushwork is not exquisite, but she can draw every place, scene, and even everyone's small movements and expressions so accurately, do you dare to say that the person painted on this is not you? β
"It turns out that you have a deep personal relationship with Prince Tarot for a long time, no wonder you will take the initiative to ask me to welcome Dajin's envoy this time, how long has he been in the capital?"
"Father, you really wronged your son, you really don't know why someone would draw such a picture? But Erchen assured that Erchen had no contact with Prince Tarot before, and only after welcoming him into the embassy did he occasionally have a few conversations, which was not what his father imagined! β
"Then what do you say, what do I imagine?"
The emperor's words were so frightened that the people kneeling under the jade case were frightened and dumbfounded, and after a while of silence in the room, they only heard the emperor roar: "Get out, go back and think about it, without my order, you must not step out of Yuwang's Mansion in the future!" β
"Yes, Father!"
After hearing this dejected cry, the eldest princess saw King Yu, who was embarrassed and even had a jade crown on his head a little crooked, walking out of the imperial study, and his face was full of unwillingness and depression.
After seeing the eldest princess, he only said hello sneeringly, and then went to the palace with a worried mind.
Immediately, there was a voice in the imperial study, "Let the eldest princess in!" words.
The eldest princess was panicked, and when she opened the door of the imperial study, she saw the emperor sitting behind the dragon case with a solemn face, and he was holding a picture scroll in his hand.
A picture? The eldest princess suddenly felt bad, her face turned pale, and she heard the emperor ask, "Tell me, who is the princess of Jinguo?" Where is Xu Mingyan going now? β
She had imagined countless situations in which the imperial brother summoned her and his questioning, but she did not expect that the first thing he asked would be......
"Brother Huangβ" The eldest princess trembled in her heart and muttered in a low voice, but unexpectedly received another shout from the emperor: "If I ask you now, you will give me a truthful answer, if there is half a lie, I will also be punished for the crime of bullying the king!" β
The eldest princess had never seen the royal brother so angry in front of her, and she was so frightened that her legs and feet weakened and she knelt down.
"Brother Huang, Ming Yan has been expelled from the Xu family!"
"Why was you expelled?"
"It's Wei Guogong...... He explained that Yan was not from his Xu family after all, and he was so old, and he didn't want to raise his daughter for others for nothing, so he ......"
"You talk nonsense!" The emperor suddenly shouted again, interrupting the eldest princess's words, "Wei Guogong has raised your daughter for more than ten years, since you don't want to raise her, why did you record her in the Xu family tree in the first place?" You still bite Wei Guogong back, and you don't repent! I have already asked Gonggong Qin to go to the Mansion of Wei to ask, it was Xu Mingyan who asked for expulsion, why did she ask to leave the Xu family? β
"Smoke ...... Ming Yan ......" The eldest princess began to speak incoherently.
The emperor took it for her with an angry sneer: "Because she wants to be the princess of the Jin Kingdom?" Do you want to take the opportunity of being close to marry Xu Shuxuan, the prince of Wei? β
"Your mother and daughter are so perverse and unruly, don't you know the code of ethics? Until now, you are still teaching and receiving private music with Prince Tarot, it doesn't matter if you don't want this face, I still want it! β
Hearing the last sentence, the eldest princess was so frightened that she hurriedly argued: "Brother Huang, I don't have it!" Please believe the royal sister, I really don't! β
"And what is this?"
The emperor flicked his sleeves, and a picture scroll rolled down in front of the eldest princess, and the pair of figures depicted in the front happened to be the first time that the Tarot prince invited her to meet after coming to the capital.
"Brother Huang, the content on this picture scroll is not credible!" The eldest princess shouted again.
The emperor waved his hand, and his eyes showed a look of extreme disappointment and disgust towards her, which made the eldest princess feel panicked and frightened.
"No wonder Wei Guogong begged me to sentence you and him to be benevolent, Fang Ning, red apricot out of the wall is something that every man must not tolerate, not to mention Wei Guogong, even I, I am also extremely disappointed in you, the Criminal Department has handed over Mama Qin's confession to me, she pointed out that the Zhong family was indeed killed by you at the behest of Mama Qin, this matter I have asked Cheng Yun and Shangshu Wang Xin of the Criminal Department to keep the secret for you, Mama Qin will be executed immediately, but you must not stay in the capital anymore!"
"Brother Huangβ"
The eldest princess just wanted to ask, what does the royal brother plan to do?
The emperor called Qin Fu over and ordered: "Send someone to invite Wei Guogong over, and in addition, give me Yanmo, I want to draw up a decree!" β
Qin Fu replied yes, and after leaving the imperial study, he asked another father-in-law to go to the Duke of Wei Mansion to invite the Duke of Wei!
Half an hour later, Wei Guogong was invited into the imperial study.
"The ministers see the emperor!"
After the emperor raised his eyes and saw Wei Guogong coming in, he handed over the holy decree he had written to Qin Fu to read out.
"The eldest princess of Fangning has lost her virtue, she has no way to act, she is a big matter, and she is no longer the wife of the Duke of Wei, I specially allow you to reconcile and divorce, and the eldest princess will take away her title, and from now on she will be reduced to a commoner, and she will never be allowed to set foot in the capital again!"
The eldest princess's eyes immediately widened, she naturally couldn't believe the content of this holy decree, she used to be the emperor's favorite sister, how could the imperial brother be?
"Brother Huang, I agree to be kind to the Duke of Wei, but please don't demote me to a commoner, please, Brother Huang, you and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother!"
As everyone knows, it is because of the honor and disgrace of the same mother that the emperor will make this will for his own face.
"I also heard that you broke into the Tingyu Tower of the Prince and the Lady of the Prince with my sword of Shang Fang, and not only killed the guards I gave you, but also almost slashed the Lady of the Duke of Wei! I gave you the Shang Fang Sword in the first place, but I pitied you for your widowhood and loneliness, not for you to use my banner to exert adultery! β
"Qin Fuβ" The emperor suddenly shouted.
Qin Fu replied: "Yes!" β
"Take back the Shang Fang Sword in the eldest princess's hand!" (To be continued.) )
