Volume 1 Yinglu Yilan Chapter 18 Qianyuan Palace, Front Hall
The front hall of Qianyuan Palace was full of slaughter, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Tu Tu frowned, lowered his eyebrows, and said nothing.
Guangluqing Yu Yuan knelt on the left side. Tingwei Du Gong, Zong Zhengqing, Shaofu Qing, Shaofu Cheng, Huangmen Shilang, Wei Weiqing and others knelt quietly on the right side. But there are no people from the royal palace of Gandshire County.
Tuyu was the first to speak: "How can such a treacherous thing happen in the Taimiao?!" Where do I put my face? What do you eat one by one? All day long, you know that it is dangling in front of my eyes?! The coffin of the first emperor is still parked in the Taimiao! During the national mourning, you dare to be so slack, and you are so negligent in your errands. In broad daylight, the unexpectedly harmed Ganzi County Wang's family was poisoned in the Taimiao? What kind of face does this give me to face the king of Ganzi County and the relatives of the ranks, and what face to face the Emperor Daxing and the ancestors and ancestors? ”
The Emperor's voice was slow and quiet, but his tone was stern and filled with deep remorse.
Only Guangluqing and Luo Yuan could hear that this was the emperor playing. But the emperor's drama was too clever, and even Yu Yuanxuan had a moment when he felt that this was the emperor's true feelings. It was only when it came to the sentence "What face does it have to face the Emperor Daxing" that Luo Yuanji realized that the emperor was indeed acting. In the midst of this flow of consciousness, Luo Yuan's understanding of the emperor deepened, and he even began to feel a trace of fear.
The ministers lowered their heads and said, "Your Majesty is angry. The sin deserves death! ”
"Sin deserves death?! What good does death do?! I will not pursue your crimes first, to see if your trial is refreshing, if it is a headless case and it is not resolved for a long time, I will not spare it! "The emperor's intention is obvious, that is, he wants the court commander Dugong and a cadre to try their best to close the case as soon as possible. The Emperor went on to say:
"Lieutenant Ting, tell me about your secret trial first. You must sort out the clues, and then go and tell the king of Ganz. If you don't find out clearly, don't argue. Find out what is clear, and do not deceive. Don't be like this for a while, and be like that for a while, stirring up the king of Ganzi County. This sentence, on the surface, is concerned about the king of Ganzi County, but in fact, he secretly made another will, that is, to make a decision, not to make extraneous branches, let alone chase the wind and shadows.
Dugong, the court captain, kowtowed to the ground and said loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty." Today, the ministers were ordered to conduct a comprehensive review together with Zong Zhengqing, Shaofuqing, Wei Weiqing, Shaofucheng, Huangmen Shilang, and Gaolan, the Zuodu Marquis of the Ganzi County Palace, with the guards of Nangong and the guards of the Ganzi County Palace. Judging from the evidence at the scene and the confessions of all parties, it is almost certain that Rongya is the murderer. ”
"Dugon! You have to use your brain when you speak, and you have to be cautious! This is a murder case involving the royal palace of Ganzi County, and it is a major case, and once it is convicted, it will be a major crime to be executed. Rongzhu is the minister of the imperial court, and his family style is simple and heavy, which is well-known all over the world. This kid Rongya, I often saw him when he was a child, he definitely doesn't look like a child who can be such a ruthless killer?! The emperor took a slow sip of tea, and then said, "Moreover, this matter does not only involve the king of Ganzi County, but also the king of Ganzi, the poison is in the white jade cup!" Who is the white jade cup for? Do you need me to remind you?! Yes?! Therefore, who is the target of the poisoner's murder is still between the two! At the very least, it will make people suspicious! You have to figure out all these little joints, figure them out! Don't be confused and let others ask questions! Got it, Dugon? Although the emperor's words seem to be incoherent, the meaning of these words is very clear: first, the evidence must be conclusive and irrefutable; Second, the scope involved should be as small as possible, since the grandson of the king of Ganzi County was poisoned, it should only focus on the family of the king of Ganzi County, and not involve the king of Beiling County.
However, it is easier said than done both. It is already difficult to achieve the first point, not to mention the latter point. Tingwei Dugong felt very embarrassed, but now that the matter has come, he can only take one step at a time.
So, Du Gong swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister understands." The minister did not dare to live up to His Majesty's entrustment, and together with all the adults, he seriously made an investigation. For now, the evidence is abundant. In the past few days, including the night before, the only person who entered and exited the Forestry's Garden was Rongya, which was one of them. The walking routes of the Melting Cliff in the Forestry's Garden a few days ago all pointed to the strange stone forest where the Purple Star Roland was located, and there was only this route, which was the second. The big wall of the melting cliff and the hands are stained with Purple Star Roland, which is the third. Rongya himself knows very well that in the Forestry Garden, the more gorgeous the flowers, the more toxic they are, which is the fourth. Xiao Shizi is in the Xinuan Pavilion of Taimiao, and he is the white jade cup that he received from Rongya, which is the fifth. The ministers thought that there were these five reasons, which were enough to prove that Rongya was the murderer. ”
These five pieces of evidence are indeed very sufficient. But he didn't approve, still frowning, lowering his eyebrows, and didn't seem satisfied. Guangluqing Luo Yuan understood that this was because it was not enough to prove that Rongya poisoned and killed Xiao Xun, and there was also evidence to prove that the target of Rongya's poisoning was the king of Ganzi County, not the king of Beiling County. Only by proving this can the doubts of the king of Beiling be dispelled. Otherwise, even if Rongya Ming is punished, it can only eliminate the hatred of the king of Ganzi County, but cannot eliminate the doubts of the king of Beiling County. This was not the result that the emperor wanted.
It is inconvenient for Tu Yu to say this meaning, so Guangluqing Yuyuan must come forward. He paused for a moment and said, "Master Du, judging from the evidence you said, it is indeed sufficient. However, there is another one, which is not explained. That's motivation. What about motivation? Why did Molten Cliff kill the grandson of King Ganzis? Could it be that Rongya and the king of Ganzi have some deep hatred? ”
Tingwei Dugong thought to himself: Sure enough, he didn't prevaricate, and finally asked about this festival.
Dugon really can't answer this question for the time being. But what Guangluqing Luo Yuanxuan said made Du Gongmao suddenly: as long as it is proved that Rongya has a grudge with the king of Ganzi County, the motive for Rongya's murder will be found, so that the king of Beiling County will not be involved.
Thinking of this, Tingwei Dugong knew how to respond. He paused and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are incompetent, and for the time being, they have not found the motive for the molten cliff to poison the king and grandson of Ganzi County. I beg your Majesty to give your ministers a few more hours. The minister thought that Rongya took such a big risk and openly poisoned the beloved grandson of the king of Ganzi, presumably because he had some deep hatred with the king of Ganzi. As for what hatred it is, the minister promises that he will definitely find out tonight His Majesty! ”
The emperor was satisfied with Dugon's answer. Guangluqing turned his head to look at the emperor, the emperor's brows relaxed, his expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth even raised slightly.
Tuyu said: "Dugong, you should go and take care of this case." Give you another night. If the case is not properly handled by then, I will only ask you. Early tomorrow morning, as soon as the palace door opens, you will come in and play. When you go down, tell the king of Ganz what is going on. All right, go down, all of you. Guang Luqing stayed. ”
Captain Dugon, they all withdrew.
Xiao Tuyou glanced at Luo Yuanxuan and said lightly: "This case is closed!" ”
Yu Yuan is a little inexplicable, just now the emperor urged Du Gong to find the motive of the melting cliff, what is so serious, how can the emperor himself say that the case has been closed in a blink of an eye? Yu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Tuyu smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "This melting cliff has a disagreement with the king of Naganzi County. ”
The emperor paced down, motioned for Yu Yuanjun to accompany him out, and when he got out of the side door of the front hall, the emperor turned to the back and walked to the east of the city, and said as he went: "Chuntuo told me that on the way back to the holy capital with Rongya and several other county guards, Shihuan saw them once in Ganzi County. Shi Huan fell in love with a Ryukawa Mai that Hua Chongjin dedicated to me. You also know Shi Huan's temperament, if he comes to sex, he can't take care of anything. In addition, he relied on me to spoil him, which was even more unscrupulous. Therefore, he wanted to be lucky with that Ryukawa Maihime at that time. None of the people present dared to speak, only this melting cliff jumped out to stop him. Do you think, Shi Huan is used to being domineering and willful, how can he ever suffer such grievances, let alone the grievances of the things under his crotch? Shi Huan was very obscene at that time. His Zuo Duhou took the lead for him, and as a result, he clashed with Rongya by force. After a toss, Shihuan lost his sexuality, but he couldn't lose the face of His Royal Highness the King of the County, so he said a few crazy words and insulted Rongya's parents. You also know the family style of Rongzhu and King Xiangtingjun, strong and brave, rather bend than bend! The melting cliff collided back on the spot, making Shihuan angry enough. But Shi Huan knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't have anything to do about it, so he put down cruel words on the spot, saying that he was going to the holy capital to clean up the melting cliff. So, you see, didn't this give us a step for nothing? ”
Yu Yuan was overjoyed and said, "The nature of the King of Ganzi is really wonderful. With this suspicion, there is a reason for Melting Cliff to poison the King of Ganzi. It's not so sufficient, but it can be said to be in the past. When Tingwei made a decision, it can be said that Rongya not only hated the king of Ganzi for insulting his parents for no reason, but also feared that the king of Ganzi would take revenge in the holy capital, so he killed him. In this case, the poisoning of Rongya is only aimed at the king of Ganzi County, and the king of Beiling County will be completely ruled out. Even the two chamberlains of Qiu Tuo and Dong Tuo can be exonerated. ”
"Exactly. However, this festival between Rongya and Shihuan cannot be said by me, but by Shihuan himself. That's why I asked Dugong to report to Shihuan on the trial of the case just now. Don't you think Dugon is a fool, right? I won't go to the Ganzi County Palace, and I don't even know what he has to do with Rongya, right? ”
"Your Majesty."
"However, if you can't find it in autumn and winter, it's always a great hidden danger. Don't let up, find it as soon as possible. ”
"Wow. After the court lieutenant came to tell His Majesty the case and make a decision, the minister would let the wind out to the outside world, so that the autumn and winter could relax and come back as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Tuyou nodded, and then said: "However, the reason for the escape of these two chamberlains, you also have to hint to Du Gong, so that he must be refreshed when he decides." Qiu Tuo and Dong Tuo, they didn't 'abscond in fear of crime', but fled because they were afraid of being 'implicated for no reason'. Do you understand the difference? ”
"I understand. As for the time when they escaped, it should also be changed, and it should no longer be said that 'I haven't seen him since yesterday at noon,' but that 'I haven't seen him again after hearing the news that he was poisoned in the Taimiao.'" Your Majesty, do you think this is appropriate? ”
"Very good, very good. You go and tell Chuntuo, this matter must be settled down. ”
"Whoa."
"This level is over. However, the matter of getting rid of the king of Beiling County still can't be relaxed. If the king of Beiling County is not removed for a day, I will not be able to sleep in the holy capital for a day. It's just that the method of Purple Star Roland can no longer be used. Plan around and see what to do next. When I have time in the next few days, I will ponder it carefully. When the case of Rongya is completely over, we will discuss it once. The stakes are high. ”
"Wow. There are also a few things, one is the list of feudal county kings and the list of feudal counties; the second is the resettlement of the original county guards after the restoration of the county system; The third is the method of restraining the kings of each county. At that time, the minister will play back to His Majesty. ”
"Good. By the way, when will the secret medicine be prepared? ”
"Your Majesty, let the Shaofu Cheng Guan develop it as soon as possible, please don't be impatient."
"Humph! Speaking of that Guan Yao, I feel awkward! I didn't expect him to have so many mouths, my hidden disease, I guess he has already told Shihuan. But ah, then again, Shi Huan is three years older than me, how can he be so dragon and horse spirit! Seeing a beautiful Ryukawa Maikasa was able to immediately get lucky, but it was really talented. Also, what kind of stunning will those Liuchuan dancing girls that Hua Chongjin offer? can make Shi Huan, who is drunk and lying on the flowers every night, unable to control himself on the spot? I'm really curious! ”
"The minister can arrange it immediately, please summon them and thank them."
"Hi. I am the way I am now, how can I 'be lucky' to them? Well?! ”
"The minister lost his words."
"Hey, you, you! Hey, it doesn't hurt. Let's work hard and prepare the secret medicine as soon as possible! ”
"Whoa!"
"Alright, you go down."
"Oh, Your Majesty!"
