Chapter 165: Deeply Rooted
After Chu Shenxia went to the Sixing Temple, he was really left behind by Chen Zhiming, and Liu Yan naturally couldn't bear him, so he regretted it very much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But now, there is no time and opportunity for him to regret it, Wei Shuming, who Liu Zhengsheng is pursuing, has made further moves, no matter what, this poisonous fang must be extracted as soon as possible.
After grasping the evidence of Wei Shuming's crime, Liu Yan personally went to the palace with the incriminating evidence, while Liu Zhengsheng waited anxiously for the result in the East Palace.
Liu Yan stood in front of the hall a little nervously, looked at the Zhu window in front of him and took a deep breath, he didn't know what he said next, whether his father would believe it? But he had no choice, and time was running out.
When Liu Yan pretended to be calm and walked into the inner hall, the emperor was playing against Zhou Lang, and when the emperor heard the movement, he turned around and smiled gently at him, put down the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Zishun is here." ”
Zhou Lang was very self-aware, and hurriedly left the table and saluted: "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty, the old minister will retire first." ”
The emperor bowed slightly, beckoned to Liu Yan again, and said, "Zishun is here, Zhou Lang is gone, you will continue for him." ”
Liu Yan didn't seem to hear it, standing still in place, which made the emperor very surprised, Liu Yan's eyes were firmly fixed on the ground, and he said in a low tone but very powerfully: "Father, the son is here today to tell his father something. ”
"What's the matter?" The emperor rarely saw such a look on his son's face, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Liu Yan slowly raised his eyes, looked at the old emperor, and said word by word: "What Erchen wants to say is a case that has been governed for 25 years, and it is also a big injustice case for thousands of years. ”
The emperor only listened to a few words, and then he heard his intention, his face changed, and he said in disappointment: "Why don't you kid know how to be flexible?" I thought that after all this time, your temperament had become a little smoother, but you still had to say these words to anger me, didn't you? ”
"Father, the emperor, the sons have found evidence, Uncle Qin and the queen were indeed framed by someone." Liu Yan saw that the emperor's tone was cold, and his heart was flustered. The tone was a little anxious.
Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand vigorously, and he didn't mean to listen to it at all, his eyes were decadent but terrifying. "Don't take my tolerance for you as your infinite volatile capital, I don't want to hear you say this, six years ago, there was no more King Qin and Queen in this world, only sinners Ji and Liu Qicheng."
Liu Yan was about to open his mouth to refute. The emperor didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said sharply: "I saw it with my own eyes back then, how could it be wrong? It's not the first time you've talked to me about overturning the case, how did Uncle Luo, the witness you were talking about, slander Liu Qicheng in front of me? Don't you remember? How many people are there who are jealous of your crown prince? How many people want to bite you? How many people are behind the scenes to frame you? Zishun! How did you get to now, and you are still so easily provoked and trapped? ”
"No, father, the son really found it this time, and he definitely wasn't being used." Liu Yan could not suppress the anxiety in his heart. Hurriedly took a step forward and explained.
"Someone!" Seeing that he was still stubborn, the emperor thought that he had killed Uncle Luo in a moment of excitement that day, and he felt a little uneasy, for fear that he would make another move, and he hurriedly shouted to Gonggong Chen that he was going to move.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was even more anxious, and rushed to the emperor, not waiting to stand firm. He knelt down suddenly, and said loudly: "Father, please listen to the words of your son!" ”
"Zishun! There is a limit to my patience! The emperor's hand on Gonggong Chen's hand trembled slightly, and his face turned pale. Apparently trying to control his emotions.
But the person kneeling in front of him didn't realize the serious consequences of the emperor's anger at all, maybe he didn't intend to take into account the emperor's emotions at all, ******** just wanted to overturn the case for King Qin.
"King Qin's letter was imitated, the queen was bitten and assassinated the five emperors' brothers, and seven palace maids were killed at the same time. If such a thing is not investigated, such a vicious and sinister person continues to hide in a dark corner, can the father really sleep every day and every night? Liu Yan knelt up straight, without the intention of giving in.
Although the emperor was uneasy by what he said, his anger had already surged up from his chest, and he couldn't suppress it at all, and scolded fiercely: "In your eyes, the crimes they committed are all wronged and excusable, so what about me? I have seen all this with my own eyes, am I also telling lies to wronged them? ”
"Because of this, Erchen feels terrible, the person behind it has manipulated the situation to this point, plotting to kill Zhongliang and killing the queen, everything is played with by him, it is really terrifying." Liu Yan finished speaking very quickly, took out a piece of paper from his cuff, raised his hand and handed it to the emperor, and said, "Father, this is the list of all the officials who participated in the murder of King Qin back then. ”
The emperor glared at Liu Yan coldly, tilted his head slightly, and did not mean to take the paper, but Gonggong Chen on the side suddenly made his own opinion, took the note for the emperor, opened it carefully, and brought it to the emperor.
The emperor didn't want to see it this time, but when his eyes hit the extremely thin piece of paper, his eyes couldn't help but be shocked, and there were nearly thirty officials, large and small, listed on it.
The emperor grabbed the paper in Gonggong Chen's hand and read it very seriously, Liu Yan saw that his face was so serious, he knew that this thing had worked on him, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Father, these thirty officials colluded with each other to frame King Qin, in order to provoke the relationship between his father and King Qin, so that the situation in the court will be unstable and people's hearts will be shaken." ”
"Ridiculous, they are my ministers, how can they wish that something would happen to the Southern Song Dynasty? Do you think that writing the names of a few officials at random can exonerate Liu Qicheng? The emperor threw the paper in his hand at Liu Yan, but turned around, and with the support of Gonggong Chen, he returned to the couch.
Liu Yan knelt on the spot in a daze, some did not react, until the emperor glanced at him, Liu Yan came back to his senses, stood up hurriedly, knelt in front of him, and continued: "As my father and emperor saw, most of these officials are left over from the previous dynasty, and their purpose in doing this is known to passers-by, which is nothing more than anti-Song and Jin. Among these people, the one who has done a lot of evil is Wei Shuming. ”
Hearing Wei Shuming's three words, the emperor's eyelids jumped slightly, he clearly remembered that he sent Wei Shuming to expedition to Qi State, but as a result, all the soldiers he sent went and never returned, and he alone fled back to Jincheng with a wound.
"The soldiers brought by Wei Shuming didn't actually die in battle at all, but were carefully hidden by him, just to use them one day to restore the Jin Kingdom."
When Liu Yan finished saying this, the emperor's brain suddenly "boomed", and he looked at him incredulously and said, "How is it possible? Hide? Where can he hide? This battle is a head-to-head confrontation with the Qi State, are the people of their Qi State all talking nonsense with their eyes open? ”
"Because Wei Shuming has long colluded with Qi State, Qi State and Wei Shuming have reached a consensus, so they will naturally help him deceive the world."
The emperor gasped heavily, there was a lot of confusion and incomprehension in his eyes, he couldn't believe Liu Yan's statement, but he had to be nervous. Such a trick of changing people has been hidden for more than ten years, if this army is still there, then when is he going to dispatch?
"This person is extremely vicious, not only that, but also imitated King Qin's handwriting, and deducted a big crime for King Qin, which was found by Erchen in his mansion, and it was the letter paper that he imitated King Qin's handwriting many years ago." Liu Yan said and handed over a few yellowed pieces of paper in the cuffs.
The emperor's eyes were always staring at Liu Yan, seeing that he did not dodge or dodge, he took the papers, and it could be seen that these papers were some years old, and the handwriting on the paper was not clear, the emperor frowned, put the paper on the table on the side, and looked at Liu Yan without saying a word.
Liu Yan continued: "The fifth emperor's brother Liu Mo died tragically in the palace, and his head did not know where to go, and then the seven personal palace maids around the queen also died in the same way, and the queen was naturally the first object of suspicion. However, Wei Shuming once sent people back to Jincheng to check on Xishan, and Erchen's people quietly followed, and finally found that what Wei Shuming sent people to check was a row of heads, no more, no less, exactly eight. ”
The emperor's expression was beyond Liu Yan's expectations, and he said to the people on the side almost nonchalantly: "Summoning Wei Shuming into the palace." ”
Liu Yan glanced at him in astonishment, he was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, no matter who he was, he should have some reaction when he heard such a truth, not to mention the emperor who was the person concerned? But his face was always unwavering, making it impossible to guess what he really thought.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the emperor was silent for a while and finally spoke: "Zishun, do you know that what you said doesn't actually mean much?" ”
"Father's ......"
"I ask you, what is written on this, can you say it?" The emperor picked up the paper on the side and asked him, and when he saw him, he shook his head and said, "I ask you again, you said that Wei Shuming buried eight heads in Xishan, are those eight heads unrecognizable and unrecognizable?" ”
Liu Yan frowned, paused for a long time, and then nodded, and the emperor asked again: "Where are those tens of thousands of soldiers now, do you know?" These things cannot be established by a little conjecture. ”
"Since my father doesn't believe me, why do you want to summon Wei Shuming into the palace?" Liu Yan gritted his teeth and asked.
The emperor leaned back a little weakly, his eyes pale and weak, and said something that shocked Liu Yan, "I just want to see if you are wrong or I am wrong." ”
Liu Yan's kneeling body could barely stand, and after trying to stabilize it, he carefully appreciated what his father said, and his father, who has always admired evidence and seeing is believing, would have such a willful time.
