Chapter 143: Righteous Destruction of Relatives
Chen Hanjing naturally didn't plan to really take Yan Lingyue into the palace, she took Yan Lingyue to the gate of the palace, and was immediately blocked by the Praetorian Guards. The Praetorian Guards naturally recognized Yan Lingyue, and said coldly directly: "Fourth princess, Your Majesty personally ordered that you must not enter the palace with Yan Chaochen's party, so you should go back." ”
Finished in trouble? Everyone in the Wanyan family was arrested in the prison, and she was only afraid of her title as a princess, and now the old emperor has issued such an edict, which is clearly to bluntly not let her enter the palace.
How so? She is just a little woman, and she is not worthy of His Majesty's personal advice, there must be a reason for this.
Why? Wanyan Lingyue remembered that Bai Shengrui had been summoned to the palace early in the morning, could it have anything to do with this matter?
"Oh, sister princess, this palace is very kind to take you into the palace, but unfortunately His Majesty's edict does not allow you to enter the palace, then you can't enter the palace, but it's no wonder that this palace is no wonder." Chen Hanjing said with a smile.
After Yan Lingyue, she suddenly realized that she had been tricked, Chen Hanjing had long known that she couldn't enter the palace, but she didn't tell her, and took the opportunity to humiliate her like that. Thanks to her, she really thought that Chen Hanjing still had a little conscience and was willing to help her.
But now, even if she beats Chen Hanjing, it will not help, but will cause trouble.
Now that she can't see Bai Shengrui and Bai Jingliang, Wanyan Lingyue really doesn't know who else can help her, and after a moment of silence, Wanyan Lingyue took Ning Xiang and went to the prison.
Her father was a prime minister, even if he died, he would not be killed so hastily, since there was no one to help her, then she would personally find out the truth and return her father's innocence.
So, the most important thing now is to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Wanyan Lingyue went to the heavenly prison, but the undercurrent in the palace had just begun.
After Yan Lingyue left, Bai Jingliang walked out of the corner on the side, he had been waiting here, in order to have someone stop Yan Lingyue. He couldn't see her, because he designed all of this.
It is him, who wants the prime minister to die, and it is also him who wants to finish Yan Lingyue's family and die.
That's right, he was tempted by Wanyan Lingyue, but he was only tempted, he was not just a man, but also the future son of heaven and emperor.
His heart can never be set only on the love of his children.
He couldn't see her, because he wanted to make his heart rock solid.
And in the Taihe Hall in the palace, another drama led by him is being staged.
The old emperor sat on the throne, his tired body half-leaning on with little strength, looking at Bai Shengrui who was standing below. This child is the only son of his eldest brother, and he is also the eternal thorn in his heart.
Back then, in order to seize the throne, he designed the eldest brother to lead the troops to the battle, and everyone thought it was a battle to the death. After the eldest brother left, he realized that the war was just a conspiracy of the former emperor, just to let the eldest brother accumulate military exploits and win the hearts of the people and ascend the throne as emperor.
In a fit of rage, he took this opportunity to force the palace to seize the throne and control the regime, and when his eldest brother returned, everything had already taken root. He wanted to kill the eldest brother, but at that time, the eldest brother was the god of war of the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was impossible to kill him unwarrantedly.
What's even more infuriating is that the eldest brother has a lot of support in the court, and he can't regain the military power held by the eldest emperor, which is the biggest bargaining chip that the emperor gave to the eldest brother.
In the past few decades, he has worked hard to finally kill the eldest emperor's brother, but the eldest emperor's child, Bai Shengrui, has unknowingly grown into a powerful king of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The eldest brother is okay, he is reckless and straightforward, and he is very easy to control, but Bai Shengrui's personality is completely different from that of the eldest emperor, he seems to have no weaknesses, nothing can enter his eyes, and it seems that everything is under his control.
These are the things that the old emperor fears the most, he can't see through Bai Shengrui's heart, so before he dies, he can't tolerate him.
He has been trying to find a way to deal with Bai Shengrui, but he can't find Bai Shengrui's weakness, but now, he has finally found it, and he will rely on this weakness to put Bai Shengrui to death.
This weakness is Wanyan Lingyue.
This time, he will pull out the two thorns in the eyes of Wan Yan Cheng and Bai Shengrui together.
The old emperor's gaze seemed to be cloudy, but occasionally flashed a little shrewdness, which made it difficult to guess. He spoke weakly, as if he was talking about homely things, "Four kings, what do you think about the rebellion of the prime minister?" ”
"Your Majesty, the little king is idle at home, and he doesn't dare to have an opinion on the affairs of the court, everything depends on His Majesty's decision." Bai Shengrui knew that the old emperor wanted to test his tone, as long as he said a word of intercession for the prime minister, then he and the prime minister's lives would not be saved.
The old emperor stood up with difficulty on the dragon chair, and walked hobbled in front of Bai Shengrui, "This is not a matter of the court, this is a family matter." What do you think, to put it bluntly, I don't blame it. ”
Bai Shengrui raised his eyes and looked at the old emperor, "Xiao Wang has nothing else to ask for, the matter of the prime minister's rebellion, he has his own criminal department to collect evidence and sentence, Xiao Wang only hopes that this matter will be connected to Xiao Wang's princess, she is simple-minded, she knows nothing about the affairs of the court, and will never participate in this matter." ”
This sentence was not only to finish Yan Lingyue, but also exonerated Bai Shengrui himself. Wanyan Lingyue is the only link between Bai Shengrui and Wanyan's family, if Wanyan Lingyue is not involved, he will naturally not be involved.
"Rebellion is a great crime of treason, and it should be exterminated. However, the four princesses are members of the royal family after all, and if they were really not involved in this matter, I would not have killed innocents indiscriminately. However, with only one word from the four kings, how can I believe it? In this way, since you and the four princesses are not involved in this matter, it is reasonable to destroy your relatives for the sake of the country, and after you have beheaded the traitors and their families, I will hand it over to you. The old emperor said.
Bai Shengrui heard what the old emperor said, Rao is usually calm, and he couldn't help but be shocked at this time, he knew that it was not good to summon him today, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so vicious and let him behead his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Because he is a political enemy, Bai Shengrui doesn't like Wanyan's family, but after all, it is Wanyan Lingyue's family, how can he ......
If he really responded, Wanyan Lingyue was afraid that he would hate him to death.
But if he shouldn't, it means that he admits that he and Wanyan Lingyue are also involved in this rebellion case, and they will also fall to the ground.
Bai Shengrui's fingertips clenched his fists turned white, this choice was too difficult for him, but looking at the old emperor's aggressive gaze, he couldn't help but answer.
"Xiao Wang obeys." Bai Shengrui bowed deeply, hid his expression, and said solemnly.
He doesn't have so much righteousness, for the sake of the more than 100 people of the Wanyan family, he gave up Wanyan Lingyue and gave up himself, and even if he really did that, it would only make the old emperor satisfied, and the people of the Wanyan family, he would not be able to save any of them, and he would take hundreds of lives in the Four Princes' Mansion in vain.
