Chapter 171: Blood Splattered in the Court
The emperor was immediately speechless by him, he didn't even have a word to defend himself, not only the emperor was speechless, but even Liu Yan and others were very surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yan bowed and saluted, and said something amazing at this outlet, "Erchen thinks that Wei Shuming's behavior is really bad, and he is only charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which will inevitably cheapen him." ā
Liu Changgong knew that he had something to say, but he pretended not to understand and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" If it's not a collaborator and traitor, then what else can it be? ā
"Wei Shuming was guilty of ten heinous crimes such as conspiracy, rebellion, rebellion, injustice, etc., colluding with the State of Qi with the intention of being unfavorable to the Southern Song Dynasty, and killing the five princes Liu Mo and the seven palace maids beside the Ji family was actually murder, and designed to frame Liu Qicheng and the Ji family, intending to make the court situation turbulent, and use the power of the previous dynasty to overthrow the government in order to seek great rebellion. All these acts are really mad! When Liu Yan said this, he always maintained a posture of bending over and hanging his head, and he did not dare to raise his head to look at the emperor at this time.
But today it is extremely comfortable and calm, and these words have the meaning of ending since they came out of their mouths.
The emperor never expressed his position, and he didn't even say half a word, and the ministers in the palace whispered, to say that King Qin was wronged, and to investigate it, every minister in the palace was an accomplice in the tragedy that year. Because back then, they criticized King Qin with righteous words, repeated the canon, and alarmist, forcing the emperor to have no way out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that these ministers do not agree." Wei Shuming, who seemed to be very calm, suddenly spoke, and the hall fell silent again.
Facing Liu Yan's gaze, Wei Shuming turned away slightly, looked straight ahead and said: "What His Highness said does not have any evidence, it is just a false speculation and an unwarranted charge imposed on the minister. The minister knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been committed to overturning the case for King Qin all these years, and he had searched for evidence in many ways to no avail. ā
"I'll just ask you. What is your intention in transferring more than 20,000 soldiers under the cover of people's eyes? Liu Yan turned around and asked.
Wei Shuming chuckled lightly and did not answer, and some ministers were quick to speak. He asked, "What are you laughing at?" ā
"I laugh at the stupidity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and listen to the slander of others, if I really want to use these 20,000 soldiers to do something unfavorable to the imperial court, or as His Royal Highness said, I want to use the power of the previous dynasty to overthrow the government. But isn't Song Guo doing well now? The people live and work in peace and contentment, a scene of singing and dancing, and over the years, I have been an official according to the rules, and I have never exceeded half a point. The matter of Yanqueguan, I have my own grievances that I can't say, and I will never say it, no matter what crime I am charged with, I will not resist half a sentence, but. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the opportunity to charge me with other crimes and take the opportunity to overturn the case, the old minister will never agree. ā
When Wei Shuming said this, it seemed that Liu Yan had ulterior motives, Liu Yan heard him say this, and his heart was naturally on fire, but when he looked up at the person on the dragon chair, he suppressed those impulses, and at this time, he must not take a wrong step. If you make a mistake, you will lose all your efforts.
So he exhaled, calmed down, but spoke. The tone became aggressive again, "I've seen someone as brazen, I've never seen someone as brazen as you, you tell a big lie and do so many evil deeds, but you can stand here and say such things with a high sounding sound." Could it be that the imperial court still wants to reward you? Thank you for your unspeakable secrets? ā
"Your Highness said that I don't care about anything, but I also ask Your Highness not to say something that has no evidence, I did it, I admit it, but if I didn't do it, Your Highness doesn't want me to take the blame." Wei Shuming knew that today's death penalty was inevitable, and he didn't want to defend himself, but King Qin's case, he had to defend it.
Didn't Liu Yan think so? If he dies, it will be a hundred, so the clues of this headless case will be interrupted, how can he replace Qin Wang Zhaoxue?
To Wei Shuming's surprise, after he said this, Liu Yan did not answer, but the person who spoke was Chen Xian, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has something to say." ā
"What does Master Chen have to say? Isn't that messy enough? Liu Changgong pretended to reprimand, but in fact, he couldn't hold back his joy, and he almost showed his face.
Chen Xian naturally knew his thoughts, but he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with him, so he said: "What the minister wants to say is also related to Lord Wei. ā
The emperor turned sideways, his eyes tightened, and he looked at him with some suspicion, thinking in his heart, couldn't it be that a few of them joined forces to embarrass themselves, right?
"A few days ago, King Xu was poisoned and murdered, Xu Changru fell to the city wall in the middle of the night and died, everyone said that he absconded in fear of crime, but in fact, the real murderer of King Xu was Wei Shuming!"
Today's mood was full of ups and downs, originally thought that things were just like this, but the result was unexpectedly shocking, what did this Wei Shuming want to do? It is also the transfer of troops and the killing of the prince, but such a terrible person is an official with them, it is really terrifying to think about it.
The emperor couldn't sit still anymore at the moment, frowned and asked, "Are you serious?" What are the certificates? ā
"Naturally...... No, but Fan Chen has the slightest evidence, how can the minister watch King Xu die without turning a blind eye? Chen Xian said, glanced back at Wei Shuming, and said, "On the day of the incident, the palace maid beside King Xu said that Lord Wei came to the palace early in the morning to look for King Xu, and not long after, King Xu had an accident. The minister knew that if he said this, there would definitely be people who would not believe it, so the minister secretly investigated and found that after the incident, Lord Wei often went to the imperial hospital. Since Master Wei is not sick or injured, what do you always go to the imperial hospital for? ā
"In this way, Lao Chen also remembered one thing." Liu Changgong smiled silently, looked at Chen Xiandao, "After discussing political affairs with His Royal Highness, it was past the unitary time, when I left the palace, I happened to bump into Lord Wei who entered the palace, I remember that I asked Lord Wei what he was going to do, and Lord Wei said that the Ministry of War was in a hurry, and he wanted to report to His Majesty." I asked a few more questions, but he didn't say anything more. ā
Wei Shuming became the target of public attention for a while, and under the gaze of everyone, he smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is speechless, so he has taken the first step, and I wish the Song Kingdom a thousand years of peace." ā
Liu Yan was the first to react and rushed to him, but it was too late, Wei Shuming spit out a mouthful of black blood and fell in front of him, Liu Yan leaned over, his breath was gone, and his eyes couldn't help but feel cold, it turned out that he was prepared.
Seeing that there were dead people, the ministers retreated one after another, and the emperor also stood up, looking at the panicked ministers in the hall with his mouth open and speechless.
Liu Changgong pointed to the corpse and said in horror: "Your Majesty, Wei Shuming has cut himself, these things must not have been done by him alone, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ā
The emperor swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and sat down on the dragon chair with his ass, his hands pressed tightly on the dragon handle, only to feel the constant ringing in his ears, and he could not hear what the ministers in front of him were talking about.
His mind can be said to be a mess, he has no ability to think at all, even though Wei Shuming's evil deeds are notorious, but he can shake his rock-solid heart because of Liu Yan's words, if his younger brother is really unjustly killed, then he ......
"Your Majesty!" Hearing the voices of the ministers, the emperor's heart trembled, but he calmed down, but he still couldn't listen to their words, the whole person was like a soul wandering, erratic, and finally tried his best to bring himself back to his senses, but he couldn't make any decisions, so he had to nod to Chen Xian's move to exterminate the nine clans.
When Wang Qin was ordered to go to the Wei Mansion, the Wei Mansion was already empty, and even half of the servants were not left, but fortunately, Liu Yan had already prepared and sent someone to monitor the Wei Mansion, so he knew where they were.
In the end, people were arrested, but there were so many people missing, one of them was Wei Shuming's righteous daughter, but the emperor fell ill since the next dynasty, and he did not go to the court for three consecutive days, and no one saw any civil and military officials, which made everyone very depressed.
The most anxious and anxious were naturally Liu Zhengsheng and Liu Yan, Liu Yan almost said a word, and he was about to pace back and forth in front of Chu Shenxia more than a dozen times.
"Okay, don't go, I'm dazzled when I go." Chu Shenxia didn't lie, but what he saw in front of him was a white flower, and he was busy blinking.
Liu Yan sighed, finally sat down, and said helplessly: "As soon as Wei Shuming dies, I can't sit still, he is dead, what should Uncle Qin Wang do?" ā
"I have long guessed that Wei Shuming will definitely die, and we will not be able to find out any news from him anyway, and on the day His Highness goes to court, I will make the next step." Chu Shenxia moved the teacup to Liu Yan, and his eyes signaled him to calm down.
Liu Zhengsheng thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Everyone has been arrested, the righteous daughter of Du Wei Shuming is gone, what will be strange about this matter, I am not too careful, I just think that Wei Shuming is too cunning, and I really can't despise him." ā
Chu Shenxia nodded, turned his gaze to Liu Yan, Liu Yan said thoughtfully: "I once saw Wei Shuming's righteous daughter, I took her horse whip at that time, Wei Shuming actually asked me for it in person, although I was surprised at that time, but I didn't think much about it, but now I think about it, it is very meaningful." ā
"He actually came to His Highness to ask for a horsewhip, he was really surprised, His Highness said this, he must have seen something, right?" Liu Zhengsheng asked.
"I found that the handle of the horsewhip was engraved with the plum blossom, the national flower of the Jin Kingdom, and there was a row of small characters on it, but it was scratched with a knife, and I couldn't see it clearly." Liu Yan thought carefully.
Chu Shenxia thought for a moment and asked, "Is it a mahogany-colored handle, seven plum blossoms?" Is the whip jet black? ā
Liu Yan's eyes jumped, and he said in surprise: "How do you know?" Have you seen that whip too? ā
"I haven't seen it, but I've seen it on the weapon spectrum, according to legend, the nine princes of the Jin Kingdom are very good at riding horses, and the emperor gave him a horse whip, which is not ordinary or ordinary, and it is really unusual to say that it is unusual, because this horse whip is made by the emperor himself, and the nine princes naturally cherish the brotherhood of the emperor very much." Chu Shenxia said this, paused slightly, and looked at the two of them, "Then this woman is very likely to be the child of the Nine Princes, and it also shows one thing......"
