Chapter 544: Framed

"Oh?" Li Xian's face was slightly displeased, this Qian Song is really not long-sighted, how can he choose such a time to do something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Li Xian didn't get angry, but said lightly: "Just play it!" ”

"Someone reported that King Xiang and Princess Taiping practiced witchcraft in the mansion and cursed Your Majesty!"

As soon as Qian Song's words fell, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.

The so-called witch Gu is that people make wooden figures, engrave the names of their enemies on them, and then put them on the ground or in the house, and curse them day and night. If you curse in this way, you can make the other party suffer and you will be blessed. Since ancient times, no matter who is charged with "cursing the emperor", they cannot live. The most famous is the witch curse of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because of the witch Gu implicated in death, tens of thousands of people before and after, even the queen and the crown prince were not spared.

Zhang Baoer, who seemed to be drowsy, instantly brightened up, the time to come is finally here, and today's Qian Song's words seem to be about to make big waves.

Sure enough, Li Xian was stunned at first, and then angry: "Qian Song, you are simply nonsense, King Xiang and Taiping are both blood relatives of the same blood, how could you do such a ridiculous thing, what should you be guilty of provoking our brother and sister relationship?" ”

Who knew that Qian Song was uncompromising, he said: "Weichen just told the truth, and he had no intention of provoking His Majesty, King Xiang, and Princess Taiping." ”

At this time, Zong Chuke came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, in order to correct the names of King Xiang and Princess Taiping, I still send someone to check it, so as not to confuse anyone!" ”

"This ......" Li Xian hesitated.

Zong Chuke looked at King Xiang and Princess Taiping again: "I don't know what King Xiang and Princess Taiping think?" ”

King Xiang said lightly: "It should be so!" ”

Although Princess Taiping is a little angry, she can't refuse, doesn't that make people think that she is weak-hearted?

Li Xian nodded, and Li Xian finally made up his mind: "Okay then!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department will be in conjunction with the Dali Temple, and the people will immediately go to the Xiangwang Mansion and the Taiping Princess Mansion to investigate, and I and the ministers are here, waiting for your news! ”

The two ministers took the order and left, and the ministers waited quietly above the main hall.

King Xiang's face was calm, as if what he said in the court just now was something that had nothing to do with him.

Princess Taiping's face showed anger, and she looked at the bead curtain behind Zhongzong from time to time, in her opinion, this kind of framing thing can only be done by that Empress Wei.

Zhang Baoer was also thinking carefully, after Li Zhiying found him that day, he knew that this matter was not simple.

Zhang Baoer knew that since the other party had done this, he must have put the king and the princess Taiping to death, and he had made full preparations in advance. He thought of everything he should have thought of, the only thing he didn't expect the other party to make a move today. Could it really be that Queen Wei did it, but I faintly felt that it was wrong.

Finally, under the anxious waiting of everyone, the two ministers came to restore their lives.

"Your Majesty, it is true that witch Gu things have been found in the Prime Minister's Mansion and Princess Taiping's Mansion!"

After that, the two ministers ordered someone to hand over the small figure carved in peach wood that they had found.

Li Xian broke the villain open, and his name was really written on the yellow silk. His hands were trembling, and after a long time he asked sadly: "King Xiang, Taiping, what do you say?" ”

Although Li Xian was trying his best to control his emotions, everyone could see that he was not lightly angry.

King Xiang shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say!" ”

Princess Taiping said loudly: "Your Majesty, we are brothers and sisters, how can we do such a thing?" ”

"And how can this be explained?" Li Xian asked, pointing to the wooden figure.

"Someone must have framed it!" Princess Taiping hissed.

Zong Chuke stepped forward and said: "I hope that Your Majesty will deal with this matter fairly, otherwise everyone will follow suit in the future, and the consequences will be ......."

"Zong Chuke, you thief!" Princess Taiping was anxious.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!" At this moment, someone spoke up.

Hundreds of officials followed the prestige, and the person who spoke turned out to be Zhang Baoer.

As soon as Li Xian saw that it was Zhang Bao'er who spoke, his voice slowed down slightly: "Zhang Aiqing, say it!" ”

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and you are the Son of Heaven, can't you tolerate a younger brother and a younger sister? In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insisted on going his own way, and finally ended up regretting it on the Sizi platform. ”

Of course, this is not something that Zhang Baoer can say, but with Wei Xianyun here, Zhang Baoer has put a lot of effort into it, and these words are full of things like that.

Wei Xianyun taught Zhang Bao'er to say this, it was after the disaster of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that he was wrong and knew the innocence of the prince, but it was too late. The elderly Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty endured the grief of losing his son and built a Sizi Platform to express his thoughts and guilt for his son.

Li Xian listened to Zhang Bao'er's words and couldn't help but ponder.

Zhang Bao'er continued: "Weichen can conclude that someone framed the King and Princess in this case! ”

"Zhang Aiqing, you come and hear it!" Li Xian looked at Zhang Bao'er.

"Cursing Your Majesty with witchcraft is a capital crime, it is impossible for Her Royal Highness the Prime Minister and Princess not to know this, even if this is the case, how could they be so careless and let outsiders know, and as soon as Your Majesty sends someone to find witchcraft in an obvious place, this is not in line with common sense, this is one of them!"

The ministers couldn't help but nod.

"Even if King Xiang and His Royal Highness the Princess really practiced witchcraft and were discovered by the people in the palace, but the people of the Xiangwang Mansion and the Taiping Princess Mansion can actually know the exact location of the witchcraft at the same time, and report it to Lord Qian at the same time, does Your Majesty think this is possible? This is the second one. ”

Li Xian also came back to his senses at this time, and it seems that there are many doubts about this matter.

"There is nothing in this world for no reason, and the person who practices witchcraft either has a deep hatred with the cursed person, or has a plan. His Royal Highnesses the Prime Minister and Princess have no grievances with His Majesty, and they have always been harmonious, so there is no need to practice witchcraft? Besides, Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman, even if she succeeds in witchcraft, how can she be the emperor? At the beginning, Empress Zetian originally wanted to establish King Xiang as the crown prince, but King Xiang did not eat for several days and insisted on welcoming His Majesty back to the court, which has become a good story recited by the people. His Royal Highnesses the Prime Minister and Princess have no enmity with His Majesty, and they have no plans, so why should they take the risk of practicing this witchcraft? Thirdly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Bao'er paused and said: "Based on these three points, Weichen can conclude that they were framed!" ”

Zhang Bao'er saw that Li Xian was still thinking deeply, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to vouch for King Xiang and Princess Taiping with his life. ”

Zong Chuke answered on the side and said coldly: "Lord Zhang, do you think that your life can save the person who commits the crime of great rebellion?" ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled indifferently: "This matter has not been verified yet, why did the elder of the Zong Pavilion conclude that the King and the Princess have committed the crime of great rebellion?" ”
