Chapter 548: Case Closed
In the afternoon, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the dragon-like lightning exploded one after another ripples in the sky, and the thunder roared and was deafening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause it was already the end of autumn, this heavy rain came suddenly, the temperature in Liangdu dropped a lot at once, the air was wet and cold, it was obviously a blue sky and a white afternoon, but because of this rain, it seemed to fall into the night, dim and gloomy.
King Wen's Mansion.
The cold rain knocked on the window, and the wind that came in out of nowhere swayed the dim candle flame on the table.
Liang Chang sat at the table and sat quietly.
On the table was an old and tattered white silk silk, and the blood stains on the silk were already blurred and dull because of the age. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell what is written on it. The handwriting written in blood is crooked, and although it is not easy to distinguish, you can still feel the strong hatred of the writer from the messy handwriting, which is dazzling, cold, and terrifying.
Liang Chang quietly looked at the blood stains on the white silk.
He didn't remember his biological mother, he hadn't met his biological mother, his biological mother died after giving birth to him, and he was fostered under the name of Concubine Ding Cheng, so externally he was Concubine Cheng's son, not Concubine Deng's son. When he was a child, he thought that his biological mother had died of illness, and later because of sparse rumors, he vaguely heard that his biological mother probably did something bad and was executed. But he never took it to heart, the women in the harem, he saw too many of the means used to fight for power and profit, no one was clean, no one was innocent, the biological mother was just a vague concept for him, he hadn't seen it, he hadn't been raised, he didn't have any feelings, he just knew that there was such a person. Even between him and Concubine Ding Cheng, it is only a false mother-son relationship, not biological, the two sides are just mutually beneficial, it is ridiculous to really talk about a deep mother-son relationship. Concubine Ding Cheng doesn't like him, all she wants is a prince who can be by her side.
He left Ding Chengfei at the age of three to enter the Deren Hall to study, and the Naruhito Hall was full of princes, and the atmosphere of the Deren Hall was even more strange than any school. The young prince is not a child, and even if he is a child, the adults behind him will not let them simply be a child. Everyone is not a fool, although the prince brother is already the prince brother, but who will not yearn for the supreme right, it is the right to make everyone surrender at their feet, the right to deprive everyone of life, such a right no one does not want, such a right will not be dared to give it to others with confidence. Everyone wants the right to be on top, and at the same time, everyone is afraid that this right will be taken away by others, because taking it away means putting their lives at risk. According to history, the first thing the new emperor disposed of when he ascended the throne was his own brothers, because the power held by his brothers was second only to him, which was a threat to any emperor.
Liang Chang naturally thought that Concubine Ding Cheng was even more anxious than him before she was beaten into the cold palace. But Liang Chang just thought about it, and he dispelled this idea a long time ago, because he couldn't compare to the second brother. Liang Chang knows very well, because he knows, so in fact, he is the most desireless of the princes. He is self-aware, he understands that he can't sit in that position, his literature is not as good as the prince, his martial arts are not as good as the martial king, he is a half-hung man in front of the prince and the second brother, and he is also dragging mud and water, the kindness of a woman, the second brother always scolds him with these two words.
He tried to change, but he couldn't change it, he couldn't do it with the supremacy of profit, and even if he tried to suppress his guilt, he felt that he was a mess afterward. Because he did what he was not good at or didn't like, he was a mess, and this kind of bad feeling would last for a long time, and this bad feeling was a kind of torture for him.
It is because of this that he can't be the emperor, and it is because of this that when he goes to the battlefield, he will silently experience the fear that comes out of the depths of his heart while fighting fiercely, at that time he understood very clearly that he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person born in the royal family, he will never become a father, he will never be a second brother, and he can't even be the smart and fraternity of the prince.
In this way, he chose to assist the second brother, to be honest, he didn't know if the second brother needed him, but he admired the second brother.
The second brother is the person who loves him the most among his brothers, and he has only seen the second brother from a distance a few times before entering the Naruhito Palace, but after entering the Deren Palace, he and the second brother are the best. The second brother taught him many things, and the days in the Deren Hall were the happiest days in his life, and it was also those days that made him follow Liang Ao unconditionally in the future.
Liang Chang thinks that Liang Ao is more suitable to be an emperor than Liang E, and he can be ruthless than Liang E, which is not to say that his methods are despicable and hateful, but to say that he can see the situation more clearly and can do the right thing in the right place, and will not be stubborn like the crown prince and argue with reason. For a very simple example, the friends with Liang Yi are all Qing nobles in the court, the so-called Qing officials and virtuous ministers. But there can be only this kind of people in the court, and there can be only this kind of people in the world, the court needs to be balanced, and only when this balance is grasped can the court continue to operate. In order to master this balance, occasional indulgence and neglect are necessary, which the second brother is very good at, so he can make friends with all the parties, maneuver around them, and play with ease, so although the crown prince brother is famous, the second brother did not lose to him.
Rulers, no matter how powerful they are, often have to compromise, the world of black and white does not exist, even emperors, it is impossible for one person to govern a country, and similarly, it is impossible to turn a country into all the same people as themselves.
The second brother understands this, so he is very tactful, and when it comes to punishment and connivance, he knows how to use it to make himself more advantageous. For a long time, Liang Chang felt that such a second brother was very powerful, and he also agreed with the second brother's approach.
But......
"At the end of the day, people put themselves at the center ......"
He heard something like that today.
Liang Chang understands the principle of tactfulness, and he has always thought that it is helpless to do so, but as princes, why should they condone and compromise?
It turns out that I just want to make my prince's throne stable, and in the future, I just want to make my throne stable, and in order to stabilize my position, sacrifice some insignificant people, isn't it very common......
With his elbows propped up on the table, Liang Chang supported his forehead with his hands, sighed deeply, paused, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
It's really ordinary people, it turns out that they are just ordinary people born in the royal family, reading the splendid article "Water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat", but they are doing things like "people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves", and everything they do seems to be forced to end up just for themselves......
"Your Highness, do what you want, not what others think is right......"
The royal people, perhaps by blood, are born to defend their interests as the right way to deal with the world.
But Liang Chang suddenly got a little tired.
What the hell is he doing?
As King Wen, what does he want to do now?
"White owl." After a long silence, he suddenly called softly.
The door to the study was pushed open, and the white owl walked in.
Liang Chang didn't look back, he took off the candle on the candlestick, slowly picked up the silk on the table, he paused for a moment, and resolutely lit a corner. The silk was flammable, and it suddenly burned when it caught fire, and the burning fire reflected Liang Chang's face. He indifferently threw the burning silk into the brazier beside him, and did not look at it again.
The heat of the burning fire stirred the hem of his trousers, and after a long silence, he spoke, and said softly to the white owl:
"Yang Lin's maid, send it to Dali Temple."
The white owl frowned, worried about his decision:
"Your Highness, is this good, Second Highness's side ......"
"Go ahead." Liang Chang interrupted him and said lightly.
Bai Xiao didn't dare to say any more, answered "yes", with a serious expression, and withdrew.
Outside the window, the veins of autumn lin.
Liang Chang looked at the open window, still a little nervous, it was the first time he betrayed his second brother when he was so old, and the second brother knew about it, so he didn't necessarily have to be angry, and he would cut off relations with him......
In the afternoon, Su Miaodu was already on the stage, but a heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the fire and pouring her cold, and the game was forced to be postponed due to the sudden heavy rain.
Sullenly returned to Xue Minglou, Su Xian, who stayed in Xue Minglou, was in a good mood, she bought a lot of things after a long absence, clothes, jewelry, fat powder, ornaments, all high-end goods, making Su Miao wonder if she had a big deal on again.
"The money paid by King Wen." Su Xian briskly said her gold owner.
"You asked King Wen to spend money on you, and always plucked wool on a sheep, what if the fat sheep got annoyed one day and asked you to return all the wool?" Su Miao asked speechlessly.
"If you don't want money, you can pay it back." Su Xian said nonchalantly.
"It's just because you always have no shyness like this that King Wen avoids you." Su Miao pouted.
"I'm not a yellow flower girl, only shy answers will make people feel disgusting." Su Xian said, hugged the clothes in her hand tightly, and said with an intoxicated face, "Yunwu Silk, it's so soft!" ”
"Is that much of a fan of these things?" Su Miao was incomprehensible.
"Don't say 'stuff,' that's all I have in my life." Su Xian replied with a straight face.
Su Miao raised her eyebrows and decided not to worry about the material of her clothes anymore:
"By the way, I want to tell you, my mother and grandmother are coming, and Xiao Weiwei said that she wanted to hold a wedding in Liangdu, so I brought my mother and grandmother here."
"Well, this is natural, no matter how you say that you are also married, you will definitely marry your mother-in-law's family, he will follow you back to Fengzhou to get married, and his father and mother will definitely not agree."
Su Miao didn't care where the ceremony was held, and flattened her mouth.
"That's right." Su Xian was silent for a long time, and then said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Do you remember when you were born?"
"Huh?" Who will remember when they were born.
"I wasn't at home when you were born, so I don't know, are you and Chan'er really twins?" Su Xian put down the clothes in her hand, sat on the bed, looked at her with a serious face, and asked.
"Huh?" Su Miao frowned, she didn't know what to say.
"When I went to buy rouge today, King Wen asked me, can you be sure that you and Chan'er are twins? Recently, no, since I came to Liangdu, there seem to be more and more people asking this question, which makes me feel as if they are not asking casually, but for some purpose. ”
Su Miao's heart tightened, she had already asked this question many times, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly sat down, put her face in front of Su Xian, and asked:
"Eldest sister, do you think Chan'er and I look alike?"
"It's because it's not like people to ask, no one is blind!" Su Xian pushed her face away and said.
Su Miao and Su Xian fell silent.
After a long time, Su Miao opened her mouth and whispered:
"I can only ask my grandmother or mother about this, but I don't want to ask, Chan'er is my sister!" She said stubbornly.
Su Xian didn't say anything, and after a while, she let out a long sigh:
"Don't say anything else, the eldest princess of Jingyang said last time that she wanted Chan'er to go to Wuwang's Mansion as a concubine, if she didn't really mean that, she wouldn't have said it."
"But you can't let her find someone to marry just to avoid this matter, just her temperament, just catch someone casually, and it will be a disaster in the future." Su Miao frowned.
Su Xian's head began to hurt again, rubbing her temples, and she didn't say a word.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Su Chan, who was wearing a robe, broke in from outside, shook the water droplets on her body, took off the hat and began to shake it, throwing Su Miao and Su Xian with rain on their faces, Su Xian was furious and scolded loudly:
"Don't dump it! You're a dog! ”
Su Chan ignored her and continued to shake her.
"Just like you, who dares to marry you!" Su Xian became more and more annoyed, and said with gritted back molars.
"Why did you get here?" Su Miao asked.
"It's here for a good night's sleep." Su Chan looked rightfully authentic.
Su Miao and Su Xian sat on the bed and looked at her intently.
"Why?" Su Chan shook her head and asked inexplicably.
Su Miao and Su Xian lowered their heads at the same time and let out a long sigh.
Su Chan was confused and became more and more confused.
"Miao'er." The sound of aftertaste came from outside the door.
"What are you doing? Come on in. Su Miao said.
Aftertaste pushed open the door, walked in, and stood in front of the bed.
"What's wrong?" Su Miao asked.
Su Wu's case was solved, and Yang Lin's personal maid went to Dali Temple to testify, saying that the sachet Wu was holding in her hand was made by her for Yang Lin. Yang Lin's sachets are all made by her, and the maid is in love, so all the sachets she embroiders, she will embroider the word "rainbow" on the reverse side of the sachet with dark embroidery, which is the name of the maid. The girl's dark embroidery is usually not visible, and can only be seen after changing the angle under the lamp. Before Dali Temple has been paying attention to the material embroidery method of the sachet, she did not say that no one found this embroidery method on the reverse side. ”
"Didn't you say that you had secretly inspected the Yang Mansion before, so you didn't check if there was a problem with doing embroidery work for Yang Lin?" Su Miao asked.
"On the night when the Wu family was found in the mountains, Yang Lin was afraid of the incident in the east window, so he wanted to dispose of a few of his working maids, but he was intercepted by King Wen, and he also sent them to Dali Temple." In retrospect, he felt that there was something wrong with King Wen, and this behavior was completely digging a pit and jumping by himself.
"King Wen?" Su Xian was shocked.
"Has Yang Lin been recruited?" Su Miao cared about this.
"Recruited."
"What did his father say?"
"The evidence is conclusive, his father still didn't believe it, until his son recruited him, and desperately begged the emperor for mercy." Aftertaste said.
"And then?" Su Miao asked.
"Yang Shangshu was carried back, and Yang Lin was sentenced to be killed." The aftertaste is understated and authentic.
Su Miao nodded, rubbed her chin, was silent for a long time, and pouted and said:
"It's not easy! Messy! (To be continued.) )
