Chapter 194: Deliverance
"Is there still a knock outside? Is this Shen Jiahe crazy? The emperor walked back and forth on the main hall, and the drums outside were beating from time to time, so noisy that he couldn't sleep at all.
Naturally, the same as the emperor couldn't sleep, and the queen sat on the couch with her hair draped: "Is there any movement on the emperor's side?" Just let this woman knock on like this? ”
"Just now Mr. Xu went to take a look, the light on the emperor's side is still on, and he can't sleep even if he is noisy." Mama Xu was massaging the queen's temples and replied, "After all, it's Dengwen drum, even if the emperor wants to do something, he has to estimate something." ”
The queen pinched her eyebrows: "Could it be that we spend the night with her like this?" The head of this palace is really going to be blown up. ”
Mama Xu instructed the little palace maid to light some incense to help her sleep, and then turned around and continued to press the queen: "When she is tired, I'm afraid I'll go back, and after a day of knocking, even the iron man can't stand it." ”
"Why don't you find some cotton for your ears and see if it will be better?" Mama Xu suggested.
"Then hurry up and find it!" The queen waved her hand to Mama Xu to hurry up, and said to herself, "When Shen Xiang's family is sentenced, I will see how she will jump!" ”
Mama Xu went to find cotton and came back, and carefully stuffed two cotton balls into the queen's ears, the voice was a little quieter, but it still couldn't be eliminated, and the queen asked the little palace maid to increase the amount of sleeping incense, and finally felt a little sleepy.
Shen Jiahe has knocked from the day to the present, her wrist is a little red and swollen, but she doesn't feel the pain at all, and the strength of her hand is not reduced at all, Bai Ying is distressed when she looks at it on the side, and only cries and persuades: "Princess, let's go back first, come back early tomorrow, you will be exhausted by yourself if you go on like this." ”
Shen Jiahe is still pregnant, and she has already had an incident at the border last time, Liuyu didn't dare to imagine how collapsed the princess and the princess would be if the same thing happened to the princess again, and she hurriedly followed behind and persuaded: "Shen Xiang is now under the care of King Ling in prison, it will be fine for the time being, princess, you have to take care of your body!" ”
Shen Jiahe's hand paused, a touch of pain flashed in her heart, and she started knocking again, she only had this one way to meet the emperor, otherwise she would enter the palace rashly, and I was afraid that she would not be able to get out.
Only by beating the drums and confronting the emperor under the witness of hundreds of officials, the emperor did not dare to do any small actions behind his back, she robbed their daughter's body, and could no longer let them die indirectly because of herself, which she owed them to the Shen family.
What's more, after getting along for such a long time, she has already regarded everyone in the Shen family as her own family, father, mother, brothers and sisters, as long as Shen Xiangyi is convicted, it will not only be a Shen family that will be implicated, and the general's mansion will also ......
Shen Jiahe didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only keep knocking like this, from the moon to the dawn of the sky, until he heard the bells in the palace, and until the hundred officials began to go to court one after another, and it never stopped.
The emperor didn't sleep all night, sitting on the top of the dragon chair with an angry face, and the hundreds of officials below naturally knew what was going on, but the emperor intended to do Shen Xiang, and they didn't dare to speak at will.
Pei Hao gave up his hand and was the first to put forward his opinion: "Princess Xian is beating the Dengwen drum for Shen Xiang outside, presumably because she thinks that Shen Xiang must have grievances, and the emperor should summon Princess Xian to defend her father and brother." ”
The emperor looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Xiang's rebellion has long been vividly reflected in his poem, and what can the princess say to the palace, King Ling should not have sympathy for her sake." ”
"King Ling, this is not sympathy, but acting according to the rules." It was Cheng Yiming who spoke, he knew that he would definitely offend the emperor if he spoke at this time, but the one in the family couldn't be offended, seeing that King Ling had already spoken, he also let himself out, "Since ancient times, the Dengwen drum has been set up for the people to complain, and now Princess Xian is beating the Dengwen drum for a day and a night, and the people in the city don't know about it, if the emperor avoids it, I am afraid that there will be rumors among the people that are not good for the court and even the emperor, so it is better to pass Princess Xian in and let her refute it." ”
"If Princess Xian can't prove Shen Xiang's innocence, the emperor will drive people out again, so that he can block the mouths of the world, and the old minister also thinks that the emperor should not be so avoided." Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, General Gu also made a suggestion.
Several people with identities in the court spoke, and the rest of the people naturally began to echo: "The ministers ask the emperor to let Princess Xian enter the palace." ”
Shen Jiahe entered the palace with the support of Bai Ying and Liuyu, and the chief manager came to greet him with the palace people, looked at Bai Ying and Liuzhen and said: "The emperor's amnesty can only let Princess Xian go to the court alone, you two should stay." ”
Shen Jiahe let go of the hand holding the two of them, and then looked at the chief manager: "Since this is the case, then the chief manager of Lao will lead the way." ”
The emperor looked at Shen Jiahe, her face was a little haggard, but her eyes were very firm, if the relationship between her and Pei Shu could go smoothly, she would definitely be a good princess, but it was a pity that she made people.
"Princess Xian, if you have anything to say, say it now." The emperor said in a deep voice.
Shen Jiahe saluted before he spoke loudly: "Today's courtier entered the palace as the daughter of the Shen family, and the courtier just wanted to say a few words for her father in front of the emperor." ”
"My father has been in the dynasty for many years, and he has always been conscientious and conscientious for the Pei dynasty, and he has never had a slack heart, and then the two brothers of the courtiers entered the court as officials, and the father of the family told his brother in every possible way at home, and he must do things well for the Pei dynasty, the Shen family has been loyal for several generations, and all the blood and hard work have been dedicated to the Pei dynasty, dedicated to the emperor, even if the emperor does not think of their merits, he should also think of their hard work, and the courtiers implore the emperor to let go of their father and brother." Shen Jiahe prostrate on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Pei Shu was distressed when he saw it on the side, but he still couldn't say anything, the emperor was obviously not happy that he was meddling in the Shen family's affairs, if he made it clear, I was afraid that it would only add fuel to the fire.
The emperor looked at Shen Jiahe with a gloomy face, and said the matter of Shen Xiang at the banquet: "I ask myself to be not thin on Shen Xiang, and the same is true for your Shen family, it is your father who does not know how to be satisfied, and actually wants to replace me." ”
"With only one sentence of poetry, how could the emperor judge that his father had a rebellious heart, and the immortal poems are famous all over the world, so he will temporarily think of this famous sentence, the emperor, my father will never ......" Shen Jiahe retorted loudly.
The emperor waved his hand to interrupt her: "This poem is just a shadow, your father has long been disobedient, and it is shown in all aspects, if I hadn't remembered the relationship between our monarch and minister for many years, I would have done it a long time ago!" ”
Shen Jiahe sneered in his heart, yes, everything is just a shadow, if the emperor wants to dispose of the Shen family, he will find a reason no matter what.
She had no choice but to give up arguing for Shen Xiang, and instead pleaded for her two elder brothers: "Even if the courtier's father said the wrong thing, what is wrong with the courtier's two elder brothers, they have always been strict with themselves as officials in the court and have never crossed the line, so why should the emperor lock them up together." ”
"They are a family, Shen Xiang has such great ambitions, isn't it for your two elder brothers? Could it be that your two brothers really don't know, these things naturally have to be verified one by one before they can be determined, even if you say that your two brothers are not involved, but you still can't produce evidence, right? "People have already been arrested, how can there be any reason to release them again.
Shen Jiahe said coldly: "But doesn't the emperor have no evidence of their rebellion?" ”
The emperor sneered: "Indeed, I have no evidence of their rebellion, but your two brothers despise the court and want to rebel against my will in public, and these are enough for them to stay in it for a few days, and when they find evidence, they will naturally be sentenced together with your father." ”
Shen Jiahe looked at the emperor steadily, she knew that this matter was useless just by talking about it, so she had to take out the gold medal left by Pei Yuan from her arms, and slowly stood up from the ground: "I have the emperor's token in my hand, and I also asked the emperor to release the three ministers, daughters, fathers and brothers." ”
Hundreds of officials knelt on the ground one after another, but they were all surprised in their hearts, this king was really a favorite wife, and even the gold medal of the former emperor was left to Shen Jiahe.
The emperor looked at the gold medal in Shen Jiahe's hand for a long time and didn't speak, the armrests under his hands were scratched by his own fingernails, and after a long time, he finally said loudly: "Do you know that this gold medal only has three chances?" ”
Shen Jiahe looked at the emperor inexplicably, and the emperor chuckled: "You want to save your father and brother, but it's a pity that this gold medal has been used up by King Xian, that is, the holy decree that you must not be summoned alone, and now there are two more chances, it doesn't matter, I will release your two brothers according to your wishes." ”
Shen Jiahe didn't know that this gold medal still had this talk, so he had to turn his head to look at Pei Hao, Pei Hao nodded lightly at her, and Shen Jiahe had to look at the emperor again: "Then according to the emperor's wishes, let Dali Temple release my two brothers." "As for the father, he can only take his time.
Lord Li of Dali Temple took Shen Jiahe and the chief manager to Dali Temple together, and Shen Jiahe was fighting hard all the way, for fear that the emperor would temporarily regret it, or something else happened.
Before going to the dungeon, Liuyu tugged at Shen Jiahe's sleeve: "Why don't the princess wait outside, Liuyu will take the two young masters out instead of the princess?" It's cold and damp inside, I'm afraid it's ......."
The chief manager turned back to look at Shen Jiahe without moving, and Shen Jiahe had no choice but to reassure him in a low voice: "It's okay, anyway, it's just a walk, and I'm about to come out." ”
When he saw Shen Jiajue and Shen Jiachen, Shen Jiahe was relieved, Shen Jiachen looked at Shen Jiahe and asked, "Your Majesty, is this letting us go?" Why didn't the little father-in-law come over to announce the decree? ”
The chief manager sneered, and said in a strange manner: "Shen Xiang's heart is already obvious, do you still want to go out?" If it weren't for Princess Xian's use of the emperor's royal gold medal, your fate would only be the same as Shen Xiang, speaking of which, you really have to thank yourself for having a good sister! ”
Shen Jiahe didn't pay attention to the words of the general manager, and only whispered to Shen Jiachen: "It's just a pity that this gold medal can only save you and the eldest brother, and my father can only be wronged temporarily." ”
Shen Jiachen looked at his father in prison and said to him: "In that case, then my father and my sister should go out first, the child is young and can stand it here, and my father is old and can't stay here." ”
"What are you talking about?" Shen Xiang pushed Shen Jiachen outside the prison, "Don't waste your sister's mind, it's okay to be a father, as long as your children are safe, your father will be relieved." ”
"Father's ......"
Shen Jiachen wanted to say something more, but Shen Xiang had already closed the prison door, "Hurry up and go back with your sister, be obedient." ”
Shen Jiachen had no choice but to kowtow to Shen Xiang at the door of the cell, and then walked out with Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiajue, Pei Hao had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw the three brothers and sisters coming out, he hurriedly shouted: "This king has prepared a carriage, you can come with this king." ”
Shen Jiahe just wanted to thank Pei Hao, but before he could speak, he felt dizzy for a while, and then he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him.
