Chapter 384: The King Jing Party, whose vitality is greatly damaged
Obviously, King Jing was cheated by Linghu Win, but when he came back to his senses, he was angry and a little puzzled.
He has never had much contact with Ling Hu Ying, and he has never offended the other party, why did Ling Hu Ying design to harm him.
King Jing was puzzled by this, and was distressed for half the night, and even sent someone to find Linghu Ying, and asked Linghu in person when he had offended the place.
Linghu Ying didn't bother with King Jing's question, he said to the people of King Jing's faction with a sense of sincerity and incomprehension.
"This official is loyal to his duties and respects the orders of the Son of Heaven, how can he have a personal enmity with King Jing, King Jing is too worried."
Sending away the people from King Jing's Mansion who were stunned by him, Ling Hu Ying turned his head with a disdainful sneer.
Of course King Jing offended him!
Few people know that the commander of Long Xiao School, Linghu was a literati in his early years, and he was still famous for his talent when he was young, but he was forced to abandon literature and martial arts after repeated attempts in the township examination, first served in the army, and then entered Long Xiao School by mistake, and was appreciated and promoted by Emperor Liyang, who was still the prince at the time.
In the fifth year of Liyang, the commander of Long Xiaoxiao resigned for some reason, and Linghu Ying, who was already a confidant of Emperor Liyang, successfully ascended to the throne and became the head of Emperor Liyang's minions.
Linghu Ying, this person, can stand out from the group of ruthless people of Long Xiaoxiao, naturally it is not a simple goods, not to talk about means and scheming, just in terms of morality, this is an out-and-out villain.
Insidious and cunning, the eyes will be repaid, especially the mind, very narrow-minded, sometimes, people have no intention of a move or look, can make him remember in his heart, secretly resentful.
The most important thing is that if you know that you have offended Linghu Win, you can still take precautions, but this person is not happy and angry, he smiles on his front face, and stabs the knife with a smile on his back foot, without blinking.
It's hard to guard against!
According to rough statistics, since Ling Hu won the position of commander of Long Xiao School, there have been more than hundreds of people who have been retaliated against by him "inexplicably".
…………
King Jing is a noble person and has an unruly personality, although he has been handed over in order to win the heir in recent years, he still has an arrogance towards people in his bones.
However, he is the grandson of the prince and has a noble background, which is understandable to everyone.
But among them, it is by no means including Linghu Win.
Ling Hu Ying's heart eye is not much bigger than a needle nose, he is a spy leader, he does dirty work on his hands, but he was born as a literati in his early years, with an indelible literati loftiness and strong self-esteem.
Although King Jing was no different from him and the rest of the officials, in the eyes of Lord Linghu, King Jing looked down on him.
So, the narrow-minded Linghu Ying held a grudge against King Jing, and often thought about waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, this time was a good opportunity.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason for Linghu to win.
Otherwise, for the sake of a little self-righteous grudge, he will face up to King Jing, who is popular in the storage position, even if Linghu Win is a small-bellied chicken intestine, he can't act recklessly.
This reason is the five thousand taels of gold sent by King Duan.
Maybe it was because of the poverty suffered a lot in the early years, after Linghu won the power, he was extremely greedy for money, Duanwang this time in order to be able to convict King Jing and the pirate case to death, he deliberately spent a lot of money to buy off Linghu Win, wanting him to be "plausible" in front of Emperor Liyang.
Compared with the arrogant King Jing, Duanwang, who has always been benevolent and generous, is obviously much better in Linghu Win's popularity.
At least Linghu Ying did not hold a grudge against Duanwang, and after offering five thousand taels of gold, he sincerely gave Duanwang's mansion a sincere smile.
Linghu Ying already hated King Jing, with a huge amount of gold as a base, and Duanwang behind him, Lord Linghu did not take revenge at this time, when will it be.
Taking advantage of the confrontation in the palace to give King Jing eye medicine is just an appetizer, and the real killer move of Linghu Ying is - Peng Ziyi.
…………
As mentioned above, Cao Dahua tortured Liu Rong for a day and a night with the punishment of the Criminal Department, but he had no choice but to encounter a hard bone and found nothing.
But not everyone in this world is as hard-headed as Liu Rong, not to mention that the cruelty of Long Xiaoxiao's interrogation methods is higher than that of the Criminal Department.
After Peng Ziyi was taken away by Linghu Ying, he was first handed over to the Three Law Divisions for trial.
In the first trial, as expected, Peng Ziyi completely denied Zhao Shan's accusations, and said that he and King Jing had never done such a rebellious thing, and they were innocent.
The officials of the three legal divisions ignored Peng Ziyi's statement, after all, when they went to the court, they rarely said that they were wronged.
So at the second trial, the officials of the Third Law Division called Zhao Shan and Zhao Ben brothers to confront Peng Ziyi.
Zhao Shan insisted that Peng Ziyi and him were the liaison between Zhao Ben and King Jing, and Zhao Ben also adopted a tacit attitude out of various concerns.
Peng Zi was furious, and asked Zhao Ben why he harmed his in-laws, but Zhao Shan ignored it, and only said that Peng Zi would be honest and not to die and struggle.
Dying and struggling fart!
Peng Zi was going to be angry and had the heart to refute, but he was not as eloquent as Zhao Shan, or rather, he might as well be prepared by Zhao Shan, who had been waiting silently for a few days.
A few words were brought into Zhao Shan's rhythm, and he was deliberately guided to speak upside down, and his thoughts were disturbed.
And Peng Ziyi's appearance, in the eyes of the officials of the Three Law Divisions, was said by Zhao Shan to be in pain, and he was in a big mess, and his mind was lost.
The officials of the Three Law Divisions, who thought they had made a discovery, glanced at each other and nodded secretly.
This Peng Zi must be greasy!
However, although it was preliminarily concluded that there was a cat, Peng Ziyi still did not let go, and the officials of the Three Law Divisions did not dare to punish the long history of King Jing's Mansion, so in desperation, they sent the key points of the interrogation in the past few days to the palace and asked Emperor Liyang to make a decision.
Emperor Liyang saw the various suspicions of Peng Ziyi in the court played by the officials of the Three Law Divisions, and his heart was full of anger, and at this time, Ling Hu Ying said appropriately:
The three law divisions were afraid of offending King Jing and were reluctant to be punished, and they dared to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and wanted to take over this tricky task.
Emperor Dayue of Liyang immediately approved Ling Hu Ying's request, and instructed Ling Hu Ying that Long Xiao was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and that he should not have any worries about doing things for the imperial court, and that he would do what he wanted, and that he should see the results of Peng Ziyi's interrogation in the shortest possible time.
Linghu Ying retreated in response to the order, and then lifted Peng Ziyi to the prison of Long Xiao School, and entertained him "cordially and friendly" for most of the day, and Peng Changshi, who was delicate and noble, was beaten into a trick.
The next day, Ling Huying took a copy of the confession he had personally "recruited" Peng Ziqi and sent it to Emperor Liyang's dragon case respectfully.
…………
"How can Peng Zi say that all this is true?"
Emperor Liyang's hand holding the fold trembled slightly, and it took great restraint to barely burst out directly.
Ling Hu Ying felt the hidden emotions in Emperor Liyang's heart, lowered his head tightly, and replied in a deep voice: "It is indeed what Peng Ziyi said personally." ”
Here, Ling Hu Ying made a fancy talk, Emperor Liyang asked whether Peng Zi's confession was true or false, but Ling Hu Ying replied that his confession was said by Peng Ziqi himself, and cleverly avoided Emperor Liyang's questioning about the truth or falsehood.
In normal times, Emperor Liyang may be able to see the doorway of this sentence, but now he is in anger, he didn't think about it at all, and instinctively thought that Linghu won back a positive answer.
"This rebel, for his own selfishness, actually betrayed the interests of the country and the court, how can a person with such a character become a great treasure?" Emperor Liyang scolded fiercely.
Ling Hu Ying fell to his knees, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Emperor Liyang's words, but he was gloating in his heart.
King Jing was a big loss of his sacred heart, even if he didn't lose the opportunity to ascend to the throne, he would be cold for a few years by His Majesty............
As a confidant who has followed Emperor Liyang for nearly 20 years, Ling Hu Ying's psychological grasp of Emperor Liyang can be described as very accurate, and as he expected, Emperor Liyang, who was angry, immediately asked people to summon officials above the third grade in Beijing to enter the palace.
He wanted to discuss with the courtiers how to deal with King Jing.
What people didn't expect was that King Jing actually learned about Liu Lane and Zhao Shan's false accusations against him from some channels at this time, and he was very anxious, and before he could think of a countermeasure, he heard the news that Emperor Liyang had summoned his ministers.
King Jing understood that this was his father's attack on him, and he was so anxious that he ignored the previous ban of Emperor Liyang, broke out of the palace, and entered the palace to ask to see Emperor Liyang.
…………
Now in this passive situation, King Jing is not unaware that Emperor Liyang is full of disgust with himself, and he ignores the ban and trespasses into the palace, I am afraid that it will completely anger Emperor Liyang.
But he couldn't help it, at this time he had completely fallen into the trap set by King Duan, and the people of the King Jing Party didn't know anything about it.
At this time, if King Jing doesn't show up and the Duanwang Party gives full play, I'm afraid he can only wait for death in the palace, but it is better to fight hard, maybe he can still ask for some life, and he will not be defeated.
As it turned out, King Jing was right!
Originally, when the Duanwang Party took advantage of the great opportunity of the Jingwang Party to be caught off guard and was about to push King Jing to the bottom of the mud, King Jing suddenly appeared and cried to Emperor Liyang, saying that he was deceived by others, and he really did not collude with pirates.
It may be that King Jing cried too sincerely, Emperor Liyang couldn't bear it, and he didn't want King Duan to be the only one from now on, so he didn't kill King Jing.
Emperor Liyang put all the blame on Peng Ziyi, and then demoted him from a prince to a county prince on the charge of King Jing's negligence and lax management.
The same punishment as King Jing is King Zhong, but he is because of the maritime tax evasion case, so I won't go into detail here.
In addition to degrading the title, Emperor Liyang also ordered King Jing to close his door for half a year, and outsiders could not easily visit, and the palace guards were cut in half, and all subordinate officials were replaced.
It can be said that he directly changed the blood of King Jing's Mansion, and this punishment is even more serious than the demotion of King Jing for those who are aspiring to the throne.
But then, Emperor Liyang told him that the worse was still to come.
Because when Liu Lane falsely accused King Jing, he even brought the Chang family in, so now that they are guilty, Chang Jia and Concubine Yu of Yongguo have not escaped.
Chang Jia, the Duke of Yongguo, was deprived of the post of General Zhennan, confined the Duke of Guofu, and could not be released without a will, and the title of Duke of Yongguo was also changed from hereditary to three generations of degraded lords.
It is said that this is still Emperor Liyang, when he ascended the throne, the old prince made a lot of efforts, and he owed the Yongguo Duke a favor, otherwise the dukedom of this country would have been withdrawn long ago.
Most of the Duke Yongguo was abolished, and the jade concubine in the palace was not comfortable, not only was she demoted to the jade concubine, but she was also forced to hand over the palace power.
God is pitiful, Concubine Yu has worked hard in the deep palace for decades to get to this position, and now that she has been beaten down, she is not a young and favored concubine, and if she wants to climb up again, I am afraid it will be difficult.
King Jing may never know, just because of his "righteous annihilation", he provoked Liu Lang such a mad dog for himself, and bitten himself, Yu Guifei and Chang Jia all over the body.
At the end of October of the 16th year of Liyang, the pirate case was finally decided, and Liu Lane and others were punished.
With the first snow in the capital, Liu Lane knelt on the court, smiling and being beheaded off by the executioner.
Madame, sons, I avenge you............
