Chapter 70 Kaifeng Mansion Yin
In this way, a day passed, and the triage of the three divisions was inconclusive. Three days have passed, and there is still no result in the triage of the three divisions, and ten days have passed, and there is still no result in the triage of the three divisions.
Half a month later, all sides have reached the critical point of endurance.
Zhao Guangyi, who has never dropped out of the court, has not been to the court for half a month, not because he doesn't want to go to the court, but because his body really doesn't allow it. The fact that the children are still in prison is a cruel thing for an old man.
The various factions of the imperial court are like headless flies, scurrying around. The emperor also sees that his body is not as good as day by day, the princes are dead and crazy, they don't even have a chance to stand in line, what is the future of the Great Song Dynasty?
Zhao Mingyue has not heard from her for more than half a month, and she doesn't know what is going on inside? Ling Kun and Xiao Ran were anxious, but they were helpless.
The chief officer of the three law divisions tried for half a month without any results, and every time he reported to the emperor, it was like the rest of his life, and finally he really had no face to judge, and he met the emperor together to ask for blame and resignation, and returned to his hometown. However, Zhao Guangyi did not express his position.
On this day, Zhao Guangyi went to court. I haven't seen him for half a month, the emperor seems to be twenty years old, with a faltering step, a pale beard, and a gray face.
But he was only fifty-two years old.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body." ”
Zhao Guangyi's heart was sad, his eyes were sour, and he sighed: "Everyone Aiqing, the case of Prince Gongxiao has not been solved for a long time, and it has not been able to be buried for peace. The princes are all locked up in prison, which leads to rumors, unstable courts, external and internal troubles, and is ready to move, which Aiqing is willing to share my worries and take this case? ”
The civil and military officials all bowed their heads and were silent, and no one dared to take this shocking case. Not to mention that this case is so weird, the three law divisions and such a professional yamen can't try it, how can they try it? Besides, this is still the emperor's family matter, the so-called Qing officials are difficult to decide family affairs, and it is the emperor's family matter, and it is a thankless task to judge the good and the bad. What would you do if it was the prince who reached out? If you don't kill, you can't do it, and killing it won't do you any good.
"If someone can take it, I will let him temporarily take Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and he will be officially sealed after solving the case." Zhao Guangyi weighted the weight.
Everyone's heads were lowered, and they couldn't even hear a breath, but their hearts were fluctuating. What is the concept of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, they all know it.
Let's put it this way, in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin, when Zhao Kuangyin was in the dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was the current emperor, and after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was the emperor's younger brother Zhao Tingmei and the prince Zhao Yuanxi. Being the governor of Kaifeng not only means being a member of the first rank, but more importantly, entering the center of the power hub.
Among the hundreds of officials present, it is estimated that there are not many people who want to be emperors, they don't have the courage, but there are many people who want to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. However, in the face of today's bizarre case of the violent death of the prince, they decided to give up after weighing it in every possible way.
Zhao Guangyi sat on the dragon chair and watched the civil and military officials all bow their heads and hold their breath, like a lifeless plum blossom pile on the martial arts training field. He sighed in disappointment: "You eat the court, pay homage to the prince, add officials to the knighthood, and glorify the ancestors, when the court needs you, no one dares to come out and take responsibility, what use does the court want you?" ”
All the ministers kowtowed together: "The crimes of the ministers deserve death." ”
Zhao Guangyi's eyes were blurred, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, what's the use of talking about this, what should I do now?" Lu Duan, Kou Zhun, talk about it. ”
Kou Zhun completely lost his former edge this time, kowtowed: "The minister is willing to share the emperor's worries, but the minister is not good at the fact of trying the case, for fear of missing the emperor's major affairs." ”
Lu Duan said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no good plan for the time being. ”
Zhao Guangyi's eyes were full of despair, the dignified Song Dynasty, can't even solve such a thing, does this mean that my Zhao family is about to end of the road?
Zhao Guangyi is in a hurry, and there is another person who is as anxious as Zhao Guangyi, that is Ling Kun, Zhao Mingyue was imprisoned, these days he is restless in sleep, and he is tormented day and night. Seeing that no one can try this case, Zhao Mingyue's freedom is still far away. In that case, it would be better for him to judge, no matter what the result is, at least he is working hard.
And if he presides over the trial, you can see Zhao Mingyue.
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, if the lord doesn't accept it, Weichen is willing to try." ”
Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed when he heard this, stared at Ling Kun, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Ling Aiqing, you must be able to, since you have been the champion, you have never disappointed me." From now on, Ling Kun will temporarily take the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin and have full authority to accept the case of Prince Gongxiao. ”
"Thank you, Lord Long."
After retiring from the court, all the ministers went out, and their hearts were very uncomfortable. Seeing Ling Kun, a 20-year-old hairy boy, jumping from Sanpin to Kaifeng Mansion Yin, his heart was a little sour.
Hey, the child doesn't know how thick the sky is, and this Kaifeng Mansion Yin can't be a few days.
Ling Kun didn't care about thinking so much, he hurried to Kaifeng Mansion to take office and go through the formalities of making friends. Immediately afterwards, the princes in the prison of the criminal department were mentioned in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.
After doing this, it was already night, but he couldn't rest, he wanted to see Zhao Mingyue to see if she was okay.
In the night, Ling Kun stepped into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion accompanied by officials of all levels in Kaifeng Mansion. Now, he is the boss here, he can see whoever he wants, and he can judge him however he wants.
Gongsun Xian, the accompanying chief bookkeeper, asked, "How are you going to try it?" ”
"Where is the princess of Yan Kingdom?" Ling Kun asked.
The cell boss immediately stepped forward and pointed to a closed cell in front of him and said, "My lord, that is the room, the female prisoners, no, the princesses are arranged in closed cells because they are women. ”
"Well, very well done." Ling Kun complimented.
The cell boss was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your compliment." ”
"Open the prison door, I will interrogate the princess of Yanguo alone, you will guard outside."
The cell boss agreed, and others did not dare to object, but they always felt that something was wrong. Is it appropriate for you to judge the princess of Yan Kingdom alone, and be alone in the same room?
The lock of the cell door opened, Ling Kun's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva before he barely calmed down. He took a candle, gently pushed open the heavy cell door, and stepped inside.
Fortunately, it is not covered with straw and shackles as I imagined. After all, it was the princess who was locked up, and there was a chair and a small bed inside, which was clean and neat.
Zhao Mingyue sat on the bed with her head in her hands, and the people who came in didn't look up.
Ling Kun stood in front of her, his lips moved several times before he could barely say a word: "Mingyue, are you okay?" ”
When Zhao Mingyue heard Ling Kun's voice, she suddenly raised her head and saw Ling Kun standing in front of her. She thought it was a dream, and lowered her head again, but she could still see his feet, so she raised her head again.
"Is it really you?" Zhao Mingyue asked.
"It's me, I'm late."
Zhao Mingyue suddenly jumped up, threw herself into Ling Kun's arms and cried, the candle in Ling Kun's hand was knocked over to the ground, the fire on the candle head gradually became smaller, and suddenly extinguished, and the cell was dark and .......
