Chapter 126: Inducements
It rained heavily all night, and the sky was slightly bright in the early morning, and Helian Zhu and several government officials hurriedly entered the palace with a portable impeachment of the Liang family.
The reason was that last night, a huge thunder smashed the Dengyuan platform used to worship the heavens in the palace, crushing to death ten palace people who happened to pass by at night.
This was supposed to be an accident, but when the officials arrived at the palace to clean up the mess, they found that the accident was not simple.
"You mean, Dengyuan Terrace is all made of hollow bricks?"
In the imperial study, Li Yuanlin frowned, looking at Helian Zhu who was facing him and the few officials kneeling behind him, thoughtfully.
Helian said like a bell: "Back to the emperor, exactly!" When the first emperor was in power, it was Uncle Liang who was responsible for supervising the construction of Dengyuantai, and the treasury had allocated hundreds of thousands of silver, but he never thought that he had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to use the inferior material of hollow bricks to steal beams and replace columns, and shoddy, but also disregarded the grace of heaven, and took advantage of the opportunity to fill his own pockets, and now the death of ten palace people is also inseparable from Uncle Liang! Please also ask the emperor to judge! ”
"Kedengyuan Terrace has been built for more than 20 years, and there has never been an accident before, how can this be explained?" Li Yuanlin still felt a little strange.
The government official immediately replied: "The emperor doesn't know, this hollow brick is a kind of inferior stone circulating on the black market, the folk black-hearted stonemasons buy at a low price and then sell at a high price, making huge profits from it, it is specially used to cheat people out of money, it stands to reason that the trick of bluffing people is not long, but the problem is that although there are quality problems in hollow bricks, but once the building is built, there is no problem for a while. This kind of trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and there are many people who make a fortune from it. ”
"According to what you say, it can only show that there were indeed people who took advantage of their positions to enrich their own pockets, but it cannot be proved that the windfall profits generated by hollow bricks went into Uncle Liang's pocket, maybe Uncle Liang was also kept in the dark?"
Seeing that Li Yuanlin had a lot of doubts, Helian Zhu lowered his head, his eyes rolled around, and when he looked up again, his face seemed to be loyal and sincere: "Even if Uncle Guo doesn't know anything, now the incident can't escape the crime of a poor inspector!" If the emperor has any doubts, he might as well let the old minister start to investigate! The old minister must give the emperor a satisfactory explanation! ”
Helian Note: This is to use the emperor's name to completely uproot the collateral forces of the Liang Party through Uncle Liang, a person who has a pivotal position in the Liang Party's power.
Li Yuanlin looked at the middle-aged man who was bowing his head below, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he guessed the intention of this old fox in an instant, but this is fine, since he is willing to be a pawn, why not do it?
"I am very pleased with the loyalty of the Grand Master, but Uncle Liang has already resigned, and it may not be so easy to punish him again."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ancient Emperor Yun Tianzi broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention Uncle Liang? The construction of Dengyuan Terrace was made of crude materials, and the collapse caused the death of ten palace people, and someone must be responsible for this matter. ”
"In this way, this matter will be fully handed over to the Taishi to investigate! Be sure to give an account to the deceased as soon as possible! ”
Helian Zhu sneered, a little viciousness flowed in his eyes, and he replied with passionate emotions: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”
After Helian Note and the government officials and his party exited the imperial study......
"What do you think of this?" Li Yuanlin stared at the direction in which Helian Zhu and the others had left, his face cold.
The tall and straight figure walked out from behind the curtain, also looked at the door of the imperial study, and said coldly: "It's too timely to climb the Yuan platform, He Yun's body was only found yesterday, and today Helian Note entered the palace with the impeachment of Liang Shi, and it is reasonable, it is too much of a coincidence." ”
"Is it a coincidence?" Li Yuanlin raised the corners of his mouth, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "You know what kind of calculation this old fox is making, and ascend to the Yuan platform...... Hmph, it's just a temptation for him to do something. I wondered how wide his tentacles were, and even the officials of Tokyo City listened to him. ”
"As the emperor said, this person can't stay." Helian Che's eyes were frosty.
The two were silent for a moment, Li Yuanlin suddenly remembered something, turned his face and asked Helian Che, "Why did you enter the palace so early?" ”
Belch......
Thinking of the picture of sleeping with Ye Lingyi last night, someone couldn't control the corners of his lips, and the handsome face hidden under the mask was full of tenderness and sweetness, and when he saw Li Yuanlin fixing his inquiring eyes on himself, he coughed dryly and said seriously: "Naturally, I came to explain He Yun's death to the emperor." ”
"Really?" Judging from his expression, Li Yuanlin didn't believe it at all.
However, Helian Che didn't care about his thoughts, and said to him: "Your Majesty retires!" ”
Then he left.
The air is fresh after heavy rains, and the birds on the rooftops are constantly chirping.
The people in the house fell asleep on the bed, the posture of the four sides was shocking, the dream was sweet, occasionally smacking the small mouth, turning over and hugging the futon, and then I didn't know what the futon fantasized about, and the hand holding the futon touched it up and down, and a foolish smile appeared on the face......
At this moment, a rapid shout suddenly came from outside the house: "Oh no, no, no!" Green kite, green kite! ”
The old lady ran quickly towards Ye Lingyi's room, just about to knock on the door but found that the door was hidden, pushed the door and hurriedly walked into the room, suddenly saw the extremely "heroic" sleeping posture of the person on the bed, was slightly shocked, and shouted again and again after a moment: "Green kite, something is wrong!" Get up! ”
Ye Lingyi was immersed in a sweet dream, with a foolish smile on her face, but she was unmoved.
The old lady was forced to have no choice but to put her ear on the root of her ear and shouted: "Green kite! Hurry up! ”
Ye Lingyi was awakened by the loud volume in her ears, sleepy-eyed, holding the futon and looking left and right at a loss, pulling the hoarse throat that had just woken up and asking, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Oh, this girl, she's all sleeping, what kind of food are you eating! Big things are wrong! The old lady took her hand and dragged Ye Lingyi up from the bed.
Ye Lingyi stretched her waist, stretched her sore back and shook her dizzy head, her consciousness finally cleared up a little, and asked the old lady: "What's the big deal?" ”
"The dog pillar bites!"
"Huh?" Ye Lingyi was stunned, and then asked again: "Who did you bite?" ”
"Tang Guard! I'm still biting my mouth and not letting go! I can't help it, the dog pillar has always been afraid of you, maybe you can let go of the Tang guards if you go. The old lady looked anxious, and she was about to run out with Ye Lingyi in her hand.
"Wait!" Ye Lingyi ran barefoot for a few steps before remembering that she was not wearing shoes.
turned around and put on his shoes, and ran to the side hall of Danxia Palace with the old lady in a hurry.
At this look, Ye Lingyi was speechless.
"Mama, are you sure this is a dog pillar that wants to bite someone? Instead of being bewitched and forced to bite helplessly? Ye Lingyi and the old lady stood side by side.
"This, this ......" The old woman's smile stiffened: "You believe me, this was not the case at first!" ”
All right!
Ye Lingyi supported his forehead.
Looking up at the strange and contradictory picture in front of him, he saw that the dog pillar was hanging on Tang Luo's arm like a king who bites people and does not talk about it, and at the same time he frantically wagged his tail into a propeller, and Tang Luo ......
The strangest thing is that he was obviously bitten by a dog, but he looked casual, and even the corners of his mouth showed a slight "fatherly" smile, and the most bizarre thing was that he held a piece of jerky in his other hand and was tempting ...... Uh, no, it's more about teasing dogs than seduction!
He's actually teasing the dog!
was bitten by a dog, and actually teased a dog?!!
Isn't this perverted?
And what's even more perverted is the dog pillar, who obviously looks like a bear who is salivating for 3,000 feet, his eyes are staring at the jerky, and his eyeballs are about to fly away from the dog's head, but he just doesn't let go!
I don't let go!!
The corners of Ye Lingyi's mouth twitched, and she walked over decisively, put the knife on the dog's head, and smiled with a dark face: "Dog, if you don't let go of your mouth, you have to add food at night - braised dog things!" ”
Dog Zhuzi was not originally afraid of her, but he was locked up (abused) and held (treated) a lot, looking at her smile, a burst of electricity surged all over his body, as if he had seen a ghost, and the dog hair on his body was about to disappear.
"Whew!" The good dog does not suffer the immediate loss, the dog pillar can only bow his head to the "evil forces", let go of his mouth and run away like a gust of wind, and run back like a gust of wind, not forgetting to snatch the jerky in Tang Luo's hand, and finally escaped under the cover of the old lady.
"Are you alright?" Ye Lingyi put away the knife and looked at Tang Luo.
Tang slightly smirked twice and shook a row of tooth marks on his arm: "It's okay, there's no bleeding." ”
"No, I'm not asking how you were bitten!" Is it to ask if you are still in good spirits?
Tang was slightly puzzled, and Ye Lingyi didn't say much, only asked: "Why did the Tang guards suddenly come to Danxia Palace?" Is there something wrong? ”
When asked about the purpose, the expression on Tang Luo's face changed, and he became serious: "Have you forgotten to report to the Queen Mother regularly?" ”
Yes...... Sure enough, it's because of this......
Ye Lingyi suddenly laughed dryly: "Tang Guard, you also know that I don't know how to write and ink, so I can only use painting instead, so this progress is ...... Naturally, it's slow. ”
After speaking, he felt strange again: "Why did the Tang guard come to urge him personally?" Didn't these things be done by the palace maid sister in the past? Could it be something ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Tang Luo: "Shhh ”
looked out nervously, and only let go of her when she saw that there was no movement, and said with a solemn face: "There is something I have to tell you, the Queen Mother poisoned and controlled the palace maids of Huaen Palace, and wanted to harm Han Guifei." ”
"What do you say? The Queen Mother is ...... to be a victim" Ye Lingyi was excited, and suddenly realized that Tang Luo was one of the Queen Mother's henchmen, and secretly felt that the words he rushed to his lips were really inappropriate, so he swallowed back raw, with a defensive look in his eyes, but a smile broke out on his lips: "Tang guard, the slave is from Danxia Palace, and Concubine Han is in Huaen Palace, I'm afraid this is ...... Slaves and maids can't help much. ”
"You misunderstood!" Tang Luo paused, looked at her defensive appearance, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I won't harm you!" I know your position, and I also know that you treat Han Guifei sincerely and treat her as a friend, let me tell you that I just don't want to see Han Guifei killed, and I don't want to see you sad. ”
His eyes were sincere.
Ye Lingyi was stunned, not knowing how to react for a while, and secretly wondered whether his words were true or false.
"I've got to go! This time, I came here from the beginning when the Queen Mother sent me to teach you how to learn characters, so it is inconvenient to stay longer! ”
When the goal is achieved, Tang has to go.
"Wait, you ......" Ye Lingyi suddenly said.
Tang Luo's footsteps stopped.
Ye Lingyi raised his eyes to look at his slightly thin back, and asked suspiciously, "When did you know that I had defected?" Is it the bamboo forest on the way back from the southern tour? Also, why are you helping me? ”
It was not without reason for her to ask this, after all, in the bamboo forest on the way back from the southern tour, he had categorically announced to her that the Queen Mother's order could not be violated, and in order to achieve the goal of Empress Liang, he even did not hesitate to kill her, but now he wants to betray himself and betray Empress Liang? It really made Ye Lingyi have to guard against it.
"Because you're Ye Zhenzhen." Tang Luo didn't look back immediately, his tone was bitter and desolate, as if he remembered something, he laughed self-deprecating for a long time, and when he turned his head to look at her again, his eyes had lost the sense of alienation that he usually felt like rejecting people thousands of miles away, and said softly: "Because you are Ye Zhenzhen, because I owe you too much, besides...... You have never submitted to anyone, so how can you say that you have defected? ”
"Are you ......" Ye Lingyi looked at him stunned, her heart was full of doubts, and she couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?" What is your relationship with Vera Ye? Why do you owe ......"
When a memory that he didn't want to touch was opened again, and blood was presented in front of him, Tang Luo was embarrassed, his eyes flickered, he no longer answered, but turned his head and walked quickly.
Ye Lingyi took in his micro-expressions, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
It's just that now is not the time to think about it, she has to go to the Hall of Warn.
