Qin Yu unfolded one of the letters, and Wu Ying explained on the side, "This is a correspondence between Liang Guangkun and His Royal Highness the King of Wei. ”

After the emperor passed one, he opened another one, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Their letters have been accumulating for five years."

What an astonishing number, doing such a rebellious thing under the eyes of the emperor, and being his own brother, what would the emperor do?

Qin Zheng, the ninth son of the first emperor, has both ability and political integrity, when the first emperor was still alive, he praised him many times, and Qin Yu, who was still the prince at the time, but still according to the ancestral system, the young and the young are orderly, how Qin Zheng has the talent to govern the country, and he is destined to be only a prince, far away from the capital.

"It turned out to be Qin Zheng! Who else knows about this? ”

Wu Ying knew that the situation was strict, and she had always held the letter and never handed it to others, "No third person has seen it." ”

"You're doing a great job."

Wu Ying smiled bitterly in her heart, the emperor's praise was more like a chronic poison, knowing so many secrets of the emperor's family, I was afraid that Qin Yu would guard her even deeper in the future.

Qin Yu stared at the letterheads, his eyes were on fire, almost trying to see through them, "Tell me your opinion." ”

"Please forgive the emperor for his innocence." She believed that what she said later was a great sin to destroy the Nine Clans.

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"It is not difficult to deduce from the content of the letter that His Royal Highness the King of Wei knew that the position of the governor of Caoyun was in charge of the people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River and could bring a lot of convenience, so he reached some kind of agreement with Liang Guangkun, knowing that illegal salt was the most profitable, so he used the means of selling illegal salt to collect money, and then used it as food and salary for the additional army of King Wei." These letters are enough to prove that the king of Wei wants to rebel, and he has been planning it all along.

Rebellion requires a huge amount of capital investment, so the large amount of silver that was missing in the account book before is also clear, and it should be in the hands of King Wei.

"Qin Zheng is so bold that he would do such a thing!" regarded him as a brother, gave him the status of a prince, sealed a rich place, and was not satisfied, and wanted to rebel!

"The reason why King Wei and Liang Guangkun can exchange letters for five years is that the people in Jiangnan are rich, located in the south, and far away from the capital, which makes it convenient for them to act. Your Majesty, the top priority now is how to stop King Wei from continuing to make such mistakes. ”

The country is his, and it is Qin Yu's! He is a righteous Ninety-Five Emperor, the power of life and death is in his hands, a person who dares to rebel, "According to the law of Qingling, those who rebel will be beheaded!" ”

Flesh and blood relatives, in the emperor's family, it turned out to be so cold, and the trip of cutting off the waist actually said lightly from his mouth, "Rashly convicting the king of Wei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and it can be said that it is a forgery based on letters alone, but I am afraid that people in the world will say that the emperor does not think about brotherhood, and even kills his own brother, and the emperor must remember to think twice about this matter." ”

Qin Yu was annoyed, "Could it be that Qin Zheng should be spared!" ”

"Before the crime of King Wei is cured, there must be a reason that convinces the people, and this matter cannot be done without Liang Guangkun. Let him take the initiative to confess, he is doing things for the King of Wei, plus the account book, and the confession of a dry salt merchant, a large number of confessions are unified, and one qiē is justified. ”

After hearing this, Qin Yu also understood that he was carried away by anger in this matter, "It's up to you to negotiate, what I want is the result." ”

"Yes"

Inside the prison, Liang Guangkun was held alone in a closed cell.

"What do you have to explain about the letters found in your study?"

Liang Guangkun's eyes flickered, and he still refused to confess, "I don't understand what the adults say, and I never put any letters in my study." ”

"Liang Guangkun searched out the letterhead of the correspondence with King Wei from your study, the content is detailed and clear, you still have to quibble?"

"Secretly exchanging letters with the prince, that is a capital crime, how could I do such a thing, if the adults say that I take bribes and sell illegal salt, I will admit both crimes."

"Liang Guangkun, you committed more than these two crimes, you and I know where Yin Liang ended up." Sure enough, after Wu Ying finished saying this, she saw Liang Guangkun's eyes darken.

"Even if you deny it, I can still check it, as for coming to you today, I want you to repent as soon as possible and conspire with King Wei to rebel, and you will only end up in ruin. Now that you have been arrested, the King of Wei has lost your silver taels to expand the army, and the emperor has already known about it, sooner or later he will be a prisoner, I pity your wife, her body is not good, but she still has to suffer from imprisonment. ”

"If you can repent and provoke the matter of conspiring with the King of Wei to rebel, the emperor will read that you have repented, and maybe open the net and let your family go. The death of one person is better than the funeral of the whole family, I see that you are also a person of the Gu family, the wife is sick all the year round, and she has not given up, the only son is talented and has a pure character, and he is a promising age, dear people, you can bear to watch them die because of you? ”

If she was moved by emotion and reason, she didn't know if she could persuade Liang Guangkun, she asked herself if this was the best result, just to see if the person concerned could understand.

It can be seen that Liang Guangkun is still making the last struggle, and Wu Ying also understands that it is too late at this time, "Think about it, I'll give you time." ”

"Wait, sir."

Ying Ying stopped and looked back at him silently, waiting for his answer.

He lowered his head, helpless, but humble," I said. ”

"But my lord, you must ensure the safety of my family, it is enough for me to die." Yes, from the moment he agreed to do that, he expected that he would die a tragic death on the day he was discovered, but now it is a relief to be able to spare his family.

"I promise."

He looked at her for a long time before nodding and putting the family's life-and-death fight in her hands.

"Five years ago, when I first took charge of the position of governor of Caoyun, it was only half a month before the King of Wei came to Jiangnan in person, found me, and wanted to cooperate with me to ......."

***************

No matter whether Lu Nian can ask anything from Liang Guangkun's mouth, Qin Zheng has long had the intention of rebelling, and now he is even more wanton amassing wealth and expanding the army, and he feels that he can no longer be allowed to do anything wrong.

"Your Majesty, the regent's servants have already spread the news outside the courtyard that the regent has arrived outside the city gate."

Qin Yu was stunned, "What is the purpose of coming to Jiangnan at this time?" He wouldn't simply think that Qin Yan was here to play.

He had just written a letter to recruit Qin, but Qin Yan had already arrived in Jiangnan, could it be that there was any connection between them, which he didn't know?

Why did Qin Yan collect the wind so quickly, could it be......

Thinking that there might be Qin Yan's people among the people accompanying him this time, it made his heart cold, who is it?

"Order someone to send this letter to Liuzhou, so that the King of Wei can leave for Jiangnan immediately." If the purpose of Qin Yan's trip was to let him let Qin Zheng go, then it would never be possible.

"Yes."
