Chapter 535: Miscalculation
readx;
Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be shocked, ouched, and stomped his feet in a hurry: "I told her yesterday, let me deal with the child, she has to listen to it, she has to deal with it herself, she can't get out, Ganye Temple is such a big place, it's not safe to bury it anywhere, it's good, let people find out!" What can I do? Alas! β
The prince cried and said, "Uncle Yue, it's all our fault, and we have affected you......"
"What are we talking about grasshoppers on a line?" Zuo Shaoyang stomped his feet and said, "Now think of a way!" β
The prince's surname was originally cowardly, this is not only a matter of future and fate, but also involves the matter of his own head, when he was happy with Wu Meiniang, he was desperate, but at this time the matter may be revealed, he is already scared that the six gods have no master, where do you want to get the slightest idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Zuo Shaoyang had already thought about the idea, but he couldn't say it at once, otherwise the effect would not be good. At the moment, he is also wandering around the house like a headless fly.
The prince looked at him with a blank eye, waiting for him to give an idea.
After turning for a long time, Zuo Shaoyang finally stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed: "This matter can only look at Mei Niang's child." If she refuses to admit it, you and I can save our lives, and if she can't confess after she survives, we both have to pay for our lives. Alas! β
The prince's knees weakened, he collapsed on the ground, his face was pale, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "If you don't ......, I'll go to my father's ...... Confess, ......? β
"Are you looking for death?" Zuo Shaoyang said angrily, "If you die, what will happen to my daughter?" What about the baby in her belly? She's still pregnant with your dragon seed! β
The prince whined and cried, smashing his fist on his head.
Zuo Shaoyang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, let alone make a noise, wait and see what happens!" Now the emperor only knows that the fetus is Mei Niang's, and he doesn't know who the man is. So don't panic, let the emperor see the flaws, then it will be troublesome. Prince, this matter is not only about you, but also about your wife, my daughter, and me! At this time, you must not panic, you can't mess up, and don't think about any confession and leniency, remember that many people take the initiative to confess because they believe this sentence, and as a result, they are sent to the guillotine! As long as Mei Niang can survive the punishment, if you don't say it, I won't say it, no one will know about it! β
"But ......, what if Mei Niang ...... and can't stand it, so she says it? I...... I don't want to die, father-in-law, even if I don't become a prince, I can save my life...... woo woo woo ......"
Zuo Shaoyang took a sip in his stomach, this prince Li Zhi is really a soft bone, no wonder he would give up the Tang Li family to Wu Zetian, what a soft egg!
Zuo Shaoyang could only stabilize him: "At this time, we must not mess up, you just stay in the house and don't go anywhere, and don't inquire about this matter." It's a matter of everyone's surname, so you must remember! β
Li Zhi sat on the ground, crying and nodding.
After Zuo Shaoyang repeatedly advised, he left the East Palace.
He has already thought about this matter, Wu Meiniang is a scheming person, not a reckless straw bag, she will definitely weigh the pros and cons, if she admits this matter and confesses the prince and herself, she will be all finished, and there will be nothing. If she denies it to death, saying that she was framed, maybe she can save her surname because of insufficient evidence, at least she can save the surname of the prince and her father-in-law.
From the current point of view, Wu Meiniang's love for the prince and her father-in-law's affection are sincere, and she should make a desperate move to lose her pawn and protect the car.
In this matter, Zuo Shaoyang's gamble is Wu Meiniang's bold scheming to make a decision after weighing the pros and cons. And studying history, he knows that Wu Zetian is a person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and he is also a very resolute person, for the sake of power, she can kill her own children, and now for her own life, for the safety of her sweetheart and relatives, she will grit her teeth and fight to the death.
Of course, Zuo Shaoyang also thought about it, in case Wu Meiniang couldn't survive the torture and confessed everything, she was just a letter messenger, and it was to make the prince treat her daughter better. He once saved the lives of the emperor and the empress, and the emperor should pardon his capital crimes. Even if he is not pardoned, he and his daughter have a gold medal to avoid death as the final guarantee, at least their lives are worry-free. The other family members have nothing to do with this matter, Li Shimin is a wise gentleman and will not be innocent.
Even if this is the worst result, Wu Zetian can be spelled out by this, and as soon as she dies, her daughter will be safe. For this purpose, it's worth the gamble.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to enter the palace to find out the news, which was easy to startle the snake, but it aroused the emperor's suspicion, he decided to wait and see, and gambled on Wu Zetian's ability.
When he returned home, Xianyun came in a panic and said that Mingkong was taken away, and he didn't know why he wanted to arrest her. The host asked her what she knew, and she didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't know almost anything, she didn't know Mingkong's true identity, she didn't know who the man she had a tryst with Mingkong was, she didn't even remember their appearance, how could a monk take a closer look at what other men looked like.
Zuo Shaoyang told her that this matter is related to the privacy of the royal family, and she must not admit anything. Xianyun naturally knew the power of it, and nodded solemnly in agreement.
The emperor did not investigate the matter thoroughly, and did not even interrogate the nuns of Ganye Temple. This matter is very secretive, and the people who know it are very limited, and when Wu Meiniang was taken away from Ganye Temple, it was also carried out in the form of a summons, so all the nuns in the temple, except for a few participants such as the host and Xianyun, no one knew at all. It is a matter of royal dignity, and the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, so after a few things, everything seems to have happened as if nothing has happened.
The next day, the emperor summoned Zuo Shaoyang to see him.
The emperor grimaced and said straight to the point: "Your righteous daughter is a martial artist, I have already put her on death row." What do you think? β
Before going to Huashan, Zuo Shaoyang had already told the emperor Wu Meiniang about worshipping himself as his father-in-law, and the purpose was to kill Wu Meiniang so that he would not arouse the suspicion of others.
Zuo Shaoyang had already thought about how to deal with it, pretended to be surprised, looked at the emperor and asked, "Mei Niang?" What crime did she commit? β
"Fornicating with a man gives birth to a son! Isn't that enough? β
"This ......," Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be panicked, "Does the emperor have any evidence?" β
"Absolutely! The bloody dress of the child was found from under her bed, and the nails she dug and broke were also found, and the evidence was ironclad! β
"Oh-" Zuo Shaoyang stomped his feet, "This kid, alas! How can you do this thing that is unscrupulous and chaotic in the harem! β
The emperor's face softened slightly, and said: "I called you here, not to ask for guilt, but to inform you, Wu Meiniang's parents died early since she was a child, and since she has worshiped you as her father-in-law, she can only inform you." What do you have to say? β
Zuo Shaoyang listened to the emperor call himself "I" instead of "I" this time, and now it was to show that he was emphasizing that he was now the emperor and at the same time Wu Meiniang's husband, and he was talking as Wu Meiniang's father. And not a brother.
Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be sad and arched his hand: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the people when he breaks the law, not to mention the talent. Since the emperor believes that she has fornicated with men and has a harem, I have nothing to say, just let the emperor punish her according to the law. β
"I'm going to kill this silver woman!"
"Ahh
The emperor huffed and waved his fists, then turned around his hands behind his back a few times, stood up again, and glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, "You don't intercede for your righteous daughter?" β
Zuo Shaoyang said sadly: "What else do you want to beg for, if you commit such a shameful thing, where do I have the face to plead?" Alas! β
The emperor turned his hands behind his back a few more times, and finally sighed and waved his hand: "You go back!" β
Zuo Shaoyang bowed his hand with a bitter face, pretended to wipe his tears, shook his head step by step, and went out.
Sitting in the car home, he laughed out loud, his trick worked! It's amazing! Now Wu Zetian is finished! My daughter can finally be safe! Hahaha For more than ten days, Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, of course, he still sighed in front of people.
However, after half a month, he couldn't laugh anymore, because the emperor called him again. Tell him a piece of news that he least wants to hear. ββThe emperor decided to spare Wu Meiniang's life!
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned when he heard the emperor's words, and arched his hand and said: "Emperor, this, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, and he can't be extrajudicial because he is my righteous daughter, otherwise, because I will destroy the law, once this mouth is opened, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future!" β
The Emperor shook his head: "You and I are the only ones who know about this, and no one else knows." It will not destroy the law. β
"However, in the end, I have escaped from the law, I ......, and my conscience is not at ease." Zuo Shaoyang was very anxious.
The emperor was very moved when he heard this, and patted him on the shoulder: "Senior brother can be so considerate of me, I am very pleased. She is your righteous daughter in the end, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, I want to kill your righteous daughter, this is unreasonable......"
"But the emperor ......"
"Listen to me!" The emperor patted him on the shoulder again, "Last time, I only gave you and your daughter Crown Princess Zuo Wenzhi a holy decree to avoid death, not Wu Meiniang. This time, even if I am extrajudicial and spare her death, as for who fornicated with her, I don't want to find out, and I will be angry in vain if I find out. β
"Your Majesty, little girl ......"
The emperor ignored Zuo Shaoyang and continued: "Although I will spare her from death, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" I have to let her suffer a little sin, and I can't just pass it for nothing! β
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned: "What does the emperor mean ......?" β
"I'm going to give her poisoned wine to drink! After drinking it, even if she dies, I don't care how you save her. If she is saved, her life is great, and if she can't be saved, her life is hard! How is it? β
"This ......" Zuo Shaoyang couldn't imagine that the emperor would come to this trick, and he couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while.
"That's it. Give you an hour to prepare. An hour later, you go to the gate of the cold palace and wait to collect the corpse! You take the corpse home by yourself, whether you can save her life depends on your ability. β
"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang looked surprised, and hurriedly bowed his hand, "I thank the emperor for not killing Mei Niang here." β
"Who says you won't kill? Don't I tell me, I'm going to kill her, you're a miracle doctor, use your magic skills to bring her back to life, that's her life! Hehe," the emperor said with a smile.
Zuo Shaoyang came out of the palace and rode home on a donkey, with a bitter smile in his heart, this is really not as good as the sky, everything has been calculated, but the matter of worshipping father and daughter has not been counted, it was just to paralyze Wu Meiniang, so she promised to worship herself as her father-in-law, but unexpectedly, now this relationship has become her talisman from capital crimes.
If you don't save her, can you let her die?
This idea was immediately denied by Zuo Shaoyang himself, since the emperor had already said that he would spare her life, the kind of poisoned wine given would not be able to kill her immediately, he would definitely leave enough time for himself to rescue, and it must be a medicine that is relatively easy to rescue, if he is a miracle doctor, even ordinary poison cannot be detoxified, it will be too suspicious, with the emperor's shrewdness, I am afraid that the clues will be found, and it can be explained clearly at that time, then it will be troublesome.
It seems that the only way to save this woman's surname is to save her life first, and then find a chance to do it later.
Zuo Shaoyang came home listlessly, and called his father Zuo Gui's mother Liang and Princess Changle and other wives and concubines, as well as children and personal maids, and wanted to tell everyone about it, because the emperor had already said that after Wu Meiniang "gave death", the "corpse" was brought home by himself, which means that Wu Meiniang will be handed over to Zuo Shaoyang in the future, so she naturally has to explain it clearly to her family.
However, looking at a room of people looking at him, Zuo Shaoyang didn't know how to speak. After a long time, he said: "It's like ......this, well, the emperor has a talented person named 'Wu Meiniang', have you heard of it?" β
The princess of Xincheng was happy: "Why don't you know this, my father asked her to become a monk in Ganye Temple, what's wrong?" β
The Zuo family is now also a relative of the emperor, and naturally knows a little about the affairs of the emperor's family. The emperor's three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines can also be counted. And last time, Wucai people also went to Zuojia in Hezhou. They all nodded together.
Zuo Gui was a little nervous, and when he heard his son suddenly mention the emperor's talent at this time, he was afraid that something would happen, so he looked at him in fear: "What's wrong with the talented martial artist?" β
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "It's nothing, she worships me as her father-in-law." β
Zuo Gui's father was happy when he heard it, the emperor's talented person became his granddaughter, this is even more kissing, twisting his white beard and saying: "Good thing, when is this happening?" β
"Not long ago, before I went to Huashan, I haven't had time to tell everyone since I came back."
The family's faces relaxed, and Qiao Qiao'er and several other wives and concubines did not suspect anything else, because the emperor's woman, no matter how bold her husband was, would not be involved, let alone remarry, they all smiled and said: "Master, why didn't you tell us earlier about such a happy event?" Worship the righteous father and daughter, this should be a wine banquet to celebrate the birthday. β
Zuo Wenxue grinned and said, "Great, we have another sister." By the way, is she a sister or a younger sister? β
"Whew!" The eldest brother Zuo Wenning laughed: "How old are you little girl?" She is the emperor's talented mother, no matter what, she is bigger than you! Naturally, it's your sister! β
"Humph!" Zuo Wenxue stood up and said to her brother who was a head taller than herself: "I am a younger sister, maybe you can be the sister of a talented lady?" Hum! β
"This ......" Zuo Wen would rather not know how old the martial artist is, for fear that it would be bad to say something wrong, so he looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "Dad, is she a sister or a younger sister?" β
