Chapter 27: It's all human spirits
The wedding of the eldest princess was celebrated by the whole country for three days, it can be said that some people are happy and some are worried, but even if some people are dissatisfied, they are all holding back, and they dare not make a time at this time, even the emperor also took care of the wedding of the eldest princess, and as soon as the wedding ended, the emperor summoned the eldest princess and Lian Xiao, as well as the queen and Wei Zhongren.
Wearing an embroidered dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, the jade is floating in front of the emperor, more than forty years old, sword eyebrows and fine eyes, eyes like a torch, sitting on the throne of the ninety-five, there is no anger and might.
He looked at the eldest princess and Lian Xiao standing below, as well as the queen and Wei Zhongren, and spoke without hurry.
"I, I received a secret report today, which clearly indicates that Wei Shen's injury was caused by the queen."
"Your Majesty, the concubines are wronged, Lord Wei respects and loyalties to the emperor and concubines, and the concubines have no motive to do such a thing......
This person wanted to murder the people around the concubine, and he also bit the concubine back, and blamed the concubine for the crime. ”
Lian Xiao looked at the queen's crying and crying and suffering great grievances, and then looked at the emperor's squinting and inquiring expression, and always felt that everyone had their own calculations.
"Hanmei, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor suddenly kicked the ball to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess first saluted the emperor politely, and then said impatiently, "Father, the son thinks that people who do bad things will never admit that bad things are done by themselves, and the father can't ask the truth when he asks in this way......
Of course, Erchen also knew that his father had good intentions, and he summoned us here with the painstaking intention of valuing harmony and not publicizing the ugliness of his family. ”
Lian Xiao felt that the eldest princess's strength was very beautiful, if she accused the other party like a queen at this moment, it would have a dog-eat-dog feeling, and now let Lord Wei show the eldest princess's deep understanding and reasonableness, especially if Lord Wei is the queen's mother.
Therefore, the emperor did not question the words of the eldest princess, so he said to Wei Shen, "Lord Wei, how is your case investigated?" It was your own nephew who was injured, and I am sure that you will handle it impartially, let alone let the real murderer go unpunished. ”
Lian Xiao thought in his heart: How would Wei Zhongren answer? I guess......
"Back to the emperor, the minister must know everything and say everything, the injured is the minister's own nephew, the minister has not recovered from the grief, but in the investigation of the case, the minister also obeys the emperor's will, does not dare to slack off, day and night investigation, layer by layer interrogation......"
"Oh? So what did you find? The emperor asked
"If you go back to the emperor, all the evidence indicates the truth found by the ministers......"
Wei Zhongren suddenly glanced at the eldest princess and the empress respectively.
The queen looked calm.
Celestia's face was calm, but Lian Xiao still saw the clenched fists behind Celestia to show her nervousness.
Lian Xiao hooked his lips slightly: You don't trust me too much.
"All the evidence points out that the mastermind of the murder of Wei Shen is Zhou Langzhong, and one of his motives is to target the dispute over the eldest princess's personal doctor, and second, when it comes to this matter, the old ministers feel shameless!"
"What the hell is going on?" The emperor became more and more curious.
Everyone looked at Wei Zhongren curiously, only Lian Xiao guessed what Wei Zhongren was going to say, very good, it was really a treacherous and cunning fox.
"That Zhou Langzhong had a personal grudge against my nephew Wei Shen, and he was ashamed to say that Zhou Langzhong seduced one of my nephew Wei Shen's concubines, and they killed my nephew in order to be together for a long time......
At the beginning, Zhou Langzhong wanted to borrow Wei Shen's hand to get rid of the horse master first, and wait for the eldest princess to hold Wei Shen responsible, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately, the first plan not only failed, but Zhou Langzhong also caused him to abolish his own hands and lose his future......
So he was ashamed and angry, and directly stabbed Wei Shen with a knife, asking the emperor to make the decision for my hard-working nephew, and he must severely punish the Zhou family and avenge my nephew. ”
Wei Shen's body has gradually improved under Lian Xiao's treatment, Wei Zhongren naturally wanted to ask Wei Shen about the ins and outs of the matter, and Wei Shen told Wei Zhongren the real situation, so there will be a reasonable and well-founded statement today, which makes people unable to find flaws.
Lies with truth and falsehood, the emperor has no doubt, "I see, it seems that the queen and Hanmei have been wronged, since this is the case, then the queen and Hanmei will shake hands and make peace today, and in the future, everyone will be filial to their mothers and daughters, and peace is precious, so as not to let outsiders see jokes." ”
The queen mother immediately showed her obedience, "The concubines must follow the emperor's teachings. ”
The eldest princess also said, "The son must live up to his father's expectations." ”
The original trial ended in a lie from Wei Zhongren.
After the three of them left the emperor's bedroom, the eldest princess asked Lian Xiao in a cold voice as she walked, "Didn't you say that Wei Zhongren already knew very clearly who was the mastermind?" Why is this 'truth' happening today? ”
Lian Xiao hooked his lips indifferently and lowered his head, "Back to the eldest princess, do you think that if Wei Zhongren said that he was the mastermind of the queen mother, can the queen mother be severely punished?" ”
The eldest princess rolled her eyes, "I won't be punished too much, firstly, this matter will not hurt my father, and secondly, my father will take care of Liu Yan, the general of Zhenguo, so he will favor the queen." ”
"That's right, since you can't bring down the queen, why should you offend her? Wei Zhongren said that it was a wise move, he kept one hand in everything, and it would be easier to do things in the future, and at the same time, he could completely move Zhou Langzhong's family down, this move has to be said to be clever! ”
The eldest princess suddenly realized, but she still had some concerns, "Then do you think Wei Zhongren is reliable?" Can you say that he is already one of our people? After all, he didn't testify against us before the queen. ”
"Hmmm! Eldest Princess, you can rest assured that the Wei family father and son will be used as our people, and in the future, their father and son will be our very useful chess pieces. ”
"Oh?" The eldest princess's originally melancholy eyes flashed a glimmer of light after hearing Lian Xiao's words, "What hole cards did you get that made you so confident that the Wei family's father and son would be our loyal pawns?" ”
Lian Xiao still smiled lightly, "Go back to the eldest princess...... It's ......"
"Say it quickly, don't sell it." Princess Celestia was a little anxious.
This is really curious, you know, Wei Zhongren is also a pivotal figure in the court, and the emperor will give him a little thin face, if such a person is really as Lian Xiao said, he can be faithful for his own use, then it is equivalent to adding wings to the tiger.
"It's ......"
