In the inner room of Changchun Palace, Concubine Yin was lying quietly on the wide bed. Mei's eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

It wasn't until the Imperial Doctor left that she turned around with some difficulty.

has been planning for so long, but today's play did not disappoint her.

She believed that with Nangong Yi's ability, the rumors in Huzhou could no longer be hidden. But she didn't plan to hide it.

If her prediction was correct, Nangong Yi would definitely connect today's events with the Wulinghou case eighteen years ago.

If the truth is revealed, she wants to see how long those people can hide it?!

In the main hall of Changchun Palace, the eunuchs were still dealing with the dead corpses and burned out black insect stumps, Lin Jue was hidden in the crowd, quietly looking at the young ladies around them who still had the fear of the rest of their lives on their faces, and then inadvertently fell on the bodies of the county lord of Qingyun and Ling Nan, thanks to the skills of King Qin, their two brothers and sisters were unscathed.

Regarding Concubine Yin's true identity, she had already learned from Nangong Yi in advance that today's incident, even if she was injured and unconscious now, Lin Jue still felt that it was mostly related to her.

She can actually understand Concubine Yin's feelings, the Wuling family not only died tragically, but was also crowned with trumped-up charges, leaving a stench for thousands of years.

It's just that Concubine Yin is so deliberate, who is she targeting?

The murderer who framed Wu Linghou back then, which one was in this palace?

Emperor Zhaoyang was furious.

But with that comes fear.

He had always thought that the great cause was under his management. Even if the courtiers can't be honest and honest, at least they won't do things that hurt nature and reason. didn't expect it, right under his nose. Such an unbearable thing happened!

And the object of these people's deception turned out to be him, a high monarch!

In less than an hour, Emperor Zhaoyang issued several holy decrees in succession, ordering people to retrieve the relevant evidence of the Wulinghou case 18 years ago that was stored in Dali Temple and re-investigate it thoroughly.

After careful comparison by several Hanlin scholars, the results soon came out, and the letter written by Wulinghou to the monarch of the Rakshasa Kingdom that year came out. It is indeed a forgery. At that time, everyone was misled by similar handwriting, but after more than ten years, when I took it out and looked at it, I found it. Although the handwriting in the letter and Wu Linghou's handwriting have reached the appearance of being fake, as long as you look closely, you can still find the difference.

And this letter is the so-called ironclad evidence of the verdict of the case that year.

This time. Emperor Zhaoyang had to start doubting again. Eighteen years ago, the so-called iron case did exist strangely.

At this moment, Yang Yilang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked out quickly, and immediately bowed down to Emperor Zhaoyang above, and said with a panicked face, "The minister's great crime, because of a momentary negligence, he omitted important evidence. caused today's big mistake, and the crime deserves death! ——”

He is the elder brother of Empress Yang. Eighteen years ago, he was still a waiter in the Criminal Department, and the Wulinghou case was handled in his hands.

He naturally knew how many things were hidden in the events of that year, but what he didn't expect was that after eighteen years, how could anyone still find out?

Emperor Zhaoyang looked at him, and the expression on his face was cloudy.

Eighteen years ago, when the Wulinghou case occurred, he was in the grief of losing Empress Renxing, and his whole person was on the verge of collapse. At that moment, he seemed to have lost his support all of a sudden, and became helpless. It seems that there is a danger around him, everyone is hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity, and everyone's goal is him. At this time, someone sued him that Wu Linghou was involved in collusion with the Rakshasa Kingdom and presented evidence.

At that time, he was in need of a vigorous event to revive the prestige of the emperor and secure the seat that was crumbling because of the absence of Empress Renxing.

A qiē is logical.

Wuling waited for the whole door to be beheaded, and the forces of the government and the opposition were deterred, and he also sat more and more stable in that position.

And Yang Yilang, because of his meritorious service in handling the case, was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. In the past ten years, Yang Yilang has always shown his gratitude to Dade, acting low-key on weekdays, handling cases impartially and honestly, and there is nothing wrong with him. He also thought about mentioning Yang Yilang's official position after a while, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen!

Emperor Zhaoyang looked coldly at Yang Shangshu, who was kneeling below in a cold sweat, "You are guilty!" The investigation of the case is not clear, the upper and lower levels are deceived and concealed, and the case is hastily decided when the evidence is insufficient! It's not too much to kill you! ”

While speaking, he was so angry that he picked up a small table next to him and smashed it directly at Yang Shangshu.

Yang Shangshu's back was already soaked, he didn't dare to dodge, the small few sides smashed directly on his body, and he carried it hard, and in an instant a piece of flesh was smashed out of his forehead, and the blood flowed!

The rest of the ministers looked at this scene, and they all broke out in a cold sweat, but none of them dared to say a word for Yang Shangshu.

Didn't you see that the emperor was on fire?

Isn't it looking for death to be nosy at this time?

But someone still stood up, and King Qin took two steps forward, blessed the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, although the evidence in the Wulinghou case is indeed flawed, his collusion with the Rakshasa Kingdom and his intention to rebel will not be wrong. ”

With King Qin coming out, some of the ministers who were originally silent also stood up and began to plead for Yang Shangshu.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Li Cheng also spoke, "Your Majesty, Yang Shangshu was young and vigorous back then, but all the aspiring juniors are always jealous and hateful for the behavior of fornicating with foreign countries. ”

"Even you think you should go around him?!"

Emperor Zhaoyang frowned.

There are many people who plead, judging from the current situation, the evidence of Wuling Hou's fornication with the Rakshasa Kingdom is not sufficient, and in the case of Wuling Hou, it is very likely that someone borrowed his hand to remove the alien. But although this case was handled by Yang Yilang, it was he who finally issued the edict, if he said too much, wouldn't it just tell the world that he was a mediocre and unscrupulous king?

"Your Majesty, that's not what Weichen meant."

Prime Minister Li Cheng sighed, with a look of regret on his face, "It's just that it's been so long, a lot of evidence has been lost, Yang Shangshu did it back then, although there are flaws in the evidence, but there is Wu Linghou's confession, and there are other witnesses, Weichen thinks that Yang Shangshu's behavior back then was just negligence, and the crime is not to death......"

These words seemed to be exonerating Yang Yilang, but in fact, they were handing Emperor Zhaoyang a ladder to step down.

- The case of Marquis Wuling is not an unjust case, and now there are some flaws in the evidence, which is completely due to Yang Yilang's negligence, and has nothing to do with Emperor Zhaoyang.

Lin Jue keenly noticed this, and couldn't help lowering his head, quickly hiding the smile that overflowed from his lips. Suddenly, he felt that a gaze stayed on his body, raised his head, and just crashed into Nangong Yi's eyes.

It seems that for Prime Minister Li Cheng's expression, the two of them thought of going together.

However, the emperor stepped down, but the scapegoat is always wanted, since the case was handled by Yang Yilang, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Sure enough, after Prime Minister Li Cheng finished speaking, Emperor Zhaoyang's face softened a little,

Prime Minister Li was stunned for a moment, and then retreated in fear, his face full of regret.

Seeing this, the minister on the side didn't dare to say anything more. Prime Minister Li Cheng is such a weighty person, he has said so many words of pleading, and he has been scolded for his head and face, why did they come forward to find death?

Seeing this, Lin Jue's eyes became meaningful.

Sure enough, it's an old fox, and even this kind of thing can be used by him. Although Emperor Zhaoyang scolded Prime Minister Li Cheng in his face just now, in his heart, he already remembered his considerate behavior of "handing the ladder" to let him step down. After a few days, maybe it's another reward.

As for Yang Shangshu......

Lin Jue silently lit a candle for him in his heart, and he was the scapegoat this time.

"Yang Yilang, can you plead guilty?"

Emperor Zhaoyang's face was pale.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen pleaded guilty, Wei Chen made a big mistake by negligence for a while, His Majesty wanted to surrender, and the minister had nothing to say."

Yang Shangshu kowtowed on the ground, his expression was sad, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Emperor Zhaoyang sneered, "Really? Since Aiqing has no complaints, then I will fulfill you! ——”

"Your Majesty, the concubines dare to think twice......"

The tactful and sad voice came out of the inner room, and before the words fell, everyone saw that Queen Yang, who was pale and pale, was supported by two palace maids, slowly moving her steps towards the hall.

When he walked to the hall, he waved his hand to let the palace maid retreat, and knelt down towards Emperor Zhaoyang!

Everyone was shocked, Queen Yang came out at this time, did she want to intercede for her brother?

"Queen, what are you?"

Emperor Zhaoyang was also a little confused.

In his opinion, Empress Yang has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, even if she is the queen, she still looks like she doesn't care about the world, in the harem, she acts low-key, and never competes with other concubines for favor, let alone colludes with the ministers of the government and the opposition. It is precisely because of this that although Empress Renxing's status is irreplaceable, Emperor Zhaoyang has always maintained a trace of respect for her.

And when the Gu worm attacked just now, she also wanted to rush up desperately, thinking about it like this, Emperor Zhaoyang's face eased a lot.

"Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to condemn his concubines."

Empress Yang looked up, her face full of tears.

"Yang Shangshu is the brother of the concubine, and now, he has angered the emperor because of his negligence and was condemned, this qiē is his own fault, and the concubine does not feel inappropriate. Just ......"

Speaking of this, Empress Yang choked up.

"It's just that now there is only one brother left in the concubine, he was punished, if the concubine is still alive alone, the world will say that the emperor is intentionally partial, and the concubine doesn't want the emperor to be difficult......"

Lin Jue almost laughed out loud, Queen Yang's acting in this play is really clever. With the bitter meat trick and showing weakness, I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't want to kill Yang Shangshu in his heart for a long time, right?

Wang Lingnan of Gaoyang County stood not far away, casually looking at Lin Jue's body, and there was a playful look in his eyes.
