Chapter 63: Lin Cai'er is dead
The emperor has also been in office for many years, and Lin Chen'an is the first time he has encountered this situation, and above the court, all the ministers stand on the united front and accuse themselves of being unfilial.
Beiyan is a country that attaches great importance to filial piety, and here, all the big sins of unfilial piety are met. There are even parents who have committed grave sins, but their children willingly bear the punishment for them. Lin Chen'an has always felt that this is foolish filial piety, but after he ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, and he couldn't deal with these things immediately, so that until now, everyone still regards filial piety as the sky.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Chen'an explained for a long time in a good voice, but found that it didn't make sense at all, so he slowly lost his patience.
"Your Majesty, please release the Queen Mother immediately!" The ministers knelt together, and there would be no difference in political views and camps.
"Oh? Let it go, she killed someone! Lin Chen'an was a little unhappy.
"The Queen Mother killed someone by mistake, house arrest is already a punishment, Your Majesty should never treat his biological mother like this!" The person who spoke was the general, and he was originally stabbed in Chajitang, but after hearing about it, he immediately put down what he was doing.
"It's so bad that you don't have a life, and you just reveal it so casually?" Lin Chen'an snorted coldly: "The palace maid's life is not life?" ”
"This matter, why don't you let the palace maid's family discuss it together and see what they say?" One of the ministers had an idea.
In fact, Lin Chen'an didn't want to agree, under the pressure of imperial power, who would dare to entangle? But at this time, it was already difficult to ride the tiger, and these ministers did not give people a chance to react at all, and there was quite a kind of posture that they would not leave until the matter was resolved. Lin Chen'an sighed, knowing that he had to compromise after all, so he could only use this matter as a step: "In this way, just listen to the bitter master!" ”
The person had already been brought to the gate of the palace, but in a moment, he had already been brought to the court.
"What a faint king, he actually imprisoned his biological mother!"
......
Lin Chen'an was very helpless, he didn't expect his daughter to die, but their first sentence was to accuse themselves of being unfilial. In fact, Lin Chen'an really thought too much, when Beiyan was destroyed, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were martyred, and most of these palace maids who were later recruited into the palace were not loved by their families.
"You say, what are you going to do? Your dead daughter, don't you even care at all? In front of everyone, Lin Chen'an still wants to finish singing this play.
"It's just a cheap life, which angered the Queen Mother and died innocently, but faint king, the Queen Mother is your biological mother, you actually treated her like this, not to mention that this is not a big mistake at all, even if the Queen Mother really committed an unforgivable sin, it should be you, the substitute mother who is a son, should be punished!" The people who came were still violent, standing in the court, without the slightest fear.
The second time I was scolded, Lin Chen'an endured it again!
"You are a faint king, you robbed the daughter of a loyal minister to enter the palace, and killed people on the street, and now you dare to confiner your biological mother, it is simply against the way of heaven!" The man still made aggressive accusations: "So bloody and brutal, unvirtuous and unfilial, how can you deserve to sit in this position, how can you deserve to be the master of Beiyan!" ”
No one could see clearly how Lin Chenan made a move, and when everything calmed down, Lin Chenan was carrying a blood-dripping sword in his hand, and the person who was still denouncing him had a deep blood mark from his chest to his face.
"Faint King!" The man finally spat out two words, and then slowly fell!
"Your Majesty is angry!" The ministers shouted!
"This person is disrespectful and has the heart of rebellion, and his sin deserves death!" Lin Chen'an turned around and walked to the dragon chair step by step, the sword was still in his hand, but the tip of the sword had touched the ground, and a bloody mark was drawn on the ground as he walked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?" After walking all the steps, Lin Chen'an turned around, the dragon robe was already stained with blood, and it looked a little hideous at the moment.
"Please let your majesty release the queen mother!" The general gritted his teeth and slammed his head on the ground, and the ministers behind him followed suit.
"Please let your majesty release the queen mother!"
"Please let your majesty release the queen mother!"
"Please let your majesty release the queen mother!"
After three shouts, there was silence in the courtroom!
Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Chenan threw the sword in his hand on the ground and made a "bang" sound, and some timid ministers trembled, "What else do you want?" ”
This is...... Answered?
Jiang Yan, who was kneeling at the end, felt that something was wrong, but this was not a good time to speak, he quietly looked around, and Ding Hai in the front row was also looking back, and the two glanced at each other and quickly separated. Ding Hai is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is responsible for all the things of the etiquette system, so it is said that he should speak out the most, but he didn't!
"If not, let's disperse!" Lin Chen'an said lightly, neither saying that he would release people, nor would he say that he would not let go.
"Your Majesty!" The general still couldn't help it: "The Queen Mother ...... her"
"Filial piety also has a way, the Queen Mother should naturally be punished for killing someone, but I think that just locking it up is too cheap for her!" Lin Chen'an suddenly smiled, and the smile was very cruel: "The criminal department Shangshu went back to investigate, what is the crime of murder?" What are the penalties? Tomorrow morning, announce on the spot! ”
After speaking, Lin Chen'an left, and Zou Gonggong sang and hurriedly followed. And the ministers below are still kneeling, and they don't know what to do, especially the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who is already about to cry.
"Let's go! Kneel outside the study! As soon as the general gritted his teeth, he made this decision, and then looked back at Prime Minister Guo: "What does the prime minister think?" ”
"The old man listens to the general!" Prime Minister Guo gave up.
"Do you have anyone who doesn't want to go?" The general was the first to stand up and looked at those kneeling, none of whom spoke: "Okay, then let's go together!" If you don't want to fight for this life, you have to let Your Majesty release the Queen Mother! ”
A group of ministers went to the imperial study, but they didn't expect to be stopped directly by the guards on the road, and the leader was Gonggong Zou, who smiled with embarrassment: "Your Majesty ordered, all the ministers should leave the palace immediately without delay!" ”
Is this to drive them out of the palace? The general was directly laughed at angrily: "Okay! Then please tell Your Majesty that we are all waiting outside the palace gate! ”
So a group of people came out of the palace again, without saying a word, kneeling directly outside the palace gate. It was not a remote place, and in a short time a large number of people gathered, and the people did not clear what was happening, but vaguely guessed, so some knelt after the ranks of the ministers.
"Your Majesty! The ministers are kneeling outside the Zhengyang Gate! Father-in-law Zou cautiously reported, for fear of accidentally angering Lin Chen'an.
"Let them kneel! Send more people, show me a look! Lin Chenan smashed the cup in his hand.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Oh no! ”
At this moment, a palace maid stumbled in, but was stopped by the guards when she reached the door. Lin Chen'an suddenly had a bad premonition, and said in a deep voice: "Let her in!" ”
"Your Majesty! Dowager...... The queen mother, she ......" The palace maid knelt on the ground and trembled: "The queen mother is gone!" ”
Hearing the news, Lin Chen'an stood up suddenly, he strode forward and grabbed the palace maid's shoulder: "What did you say?" ”
"The Queen Mother!"
Lin Chen'an suddenly felt dizzy, he wanted to kill Lin Cai'er, but it was definitely not this time! He shook off the palace maid and ran out of the imperial study directly, and when he came to the Jiaofang Palace, the palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground, and the imperial doctor was also among them, and Lin Caier had been properly placed on the bed, her lips were a little blue, and the cause of death could be seen at a glance.
"Poisoned?" Lin Chen'an looked back at the imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty is wise!" This imperial physician already had some qualifications, and he would kneel on the ground and reply: "The poison of the Broken Intestine Grass is extremely heavy, and it has just been taken not long ago!" ”
"What did the Queen Mother eat?" Lin Chen'an couldn't figure it out, Lin Cai'er was such a smart person, how could she be poisoned like this?
"Fillet porridge sent by His Majesty!" A palace maid replied resignedly, still holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, and it seemed that she hadn't eaten much.
"Nonsense! When did I send someone to deliver porridge? Lin Chen'an looked at the bowl of porridge, don't think about it, the poison must be in it, who is it? How dare you calculate him!
"Your Majesty, the ministers outside the palace gate suddenly began to be restless!" A guard hurried in to report it.
There was a mess at this juncture, which startled Lin Chen'an, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, a minister fainted!" The guard's next words finally relieved Lin Chen'an, but when he turned around and saw Lin Cai'er's body, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Looking at the kneeling people in the room, Lin Chen'an had no heart to deal with it, he came late, I don't know if he ran out to report the news, and this imperial doctor is also quite qualified, there is no way to deal with it!
When Lin Chenan returned to the courtyard, several secret guards were also kneeling on the ground, and he stepped forward and kicked them to the ground: "That's how you do things?" ”
"Dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates!" In fact, these secret guards are the most ordinary, Lin Chen'an had the intention of scaring Lin Cai'er at that time, and few people came here on the surface, only the palace maids who delivered meals could enter and exit all day long, and in addition, only Chang Mama was left next to the Queen Mother. These secret guards are not protecting Lin Cai'er, they are only responsible for monitoring her to see if they can find traces of the token, and now .......
"Where's Mama Chang?" Lin Chen'an suddenly thought of this person: "Why didn't you see it?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, you are also dead!" A guard stepped forward to report: "The Queen Mother was discovered by her, and when the palace maids were busy calling the imperial doctor, she committed suicide!" ”
Lin Chen'an was helpless to these people, and called Ah Qi directly, and Ah Qi suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and he didn't know where he jumped out. Lin Chen'an directly ordered: "Go and find out!" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have already sent someone to investigate!" Ah Qi didn't leave, and then looked at the few secret guards kneeling on the ground, speaking of which, these are all his subordinates, but they are also the weakest, "What to do with these people?" ”
Lin Chen'an gritted his teeth, what else can he do? Is there another palace massacre?
