Chapter 118: Something Else
Under the queen's questioning, Han Jian described the situation in detail. Han Jian believed that with the empress's control of the overall situation, he should be aware of the impact of this matter on the situation, so he only told the matter as a spectator and did not take personal opinions into account.
After Han Jian finished speaking, the empress was silent for a long time, and sighed slightly: "King Dong, since you are walking with Huang Sidian, why don't you stop him?" ”
Han Jian hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, when the minister had just come out of the room, he saw Huang Sidian and Li Shilang having an argument, Li Shilang was disrespectful, and Huang Sidian was pushed downstairs first, Huang Sidian deliberately avoided the minister from the other side and went upstairs to Li Shilang to ask for an explanation, so the minister couldn't stop it. The minister has had, and he also asked His Majesty to surrender the crime. ”
The empress glanced at Han Jian, as if to say, you stinky boy will push clean.
It's not that Han Jian didn't have time to stop it, but he didn't want to stop it, let the situation develop, and of course Han Jian didn't expect that there would be a death in the end. Han Jian saw that the empress seemed to have resentment in her eyes, and thought to himself, "Could it be that the fine work next to me has already informed the empress of the situation completely, so that the empress knows that I am lying?" ”
The empress just glanced at Han Jian without saying too much, and finally the empress seemed to sigh: "Huang Sidian hurt people with his wrong hand, and he didn't mean to. The king of the east came to intercede for him? ”
Han Jian said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not interceding for Huang Sidian, but he doesn't want Huang Sidian to die. ”
The empress was slightly stunned and looked up at Han Jian. In the eyes of the empress, Han Jian is a child who does not grow up. I don't have any foresight, I just know how to play around on weekdays. It was also perfunctory to arrange an errand for him, and he would even make some crazy remarks in front of civil and military officials and envoys of Southern Qi at the palace banquet. She's not surprised by any of this. She just felt that Han Jian should need more experience.
Han Jian helped Yang Xi solve the fraud case, which had already made the empress Gao take a look, and now Han Jian suddenly said these words that were related to the overall situation, which made her even more puzzled. I thought: "Look at this kid's gags on weekdays, but he is pretending?" ”
The empress smiled slightly, and then sighed: "Huang Sidian's wrong hand injured the servant of the Criminal Department, and it is reasonable for the Criminal Department to blame him. Officials are rarely allowed to gossip. ”
Han Jian heard the meaning of the empress's words to probe him, and from birth to now, he has been pretending to be a bear for sixteen years. If she continued to pretend, the empress might just treat him as a king of Zuyin County, and she wouldn't add him when she thought about it all. It's time for the Empress to rediscover her true self.
"Back to Your Majesty, Huang Sidian can't die." Han Jian said in a deep voice.
The empress smiled again and said, "Then King Dong, why can't Huang Sidian die?" ”
"Your Majesty, originally the minister was a foreign minister. The affairs of the imperial court should not be discussed much, but now it is the eventful autumn of my Wei Dynasty, and at this time, the minister also hopes to help His Majesty share his worries. Han Jian didn't make sense first. first stated his position, and then said, "Huang Sidian is the heir of the Huang family under the command of King Nan. The minister hoped that His Majesty would consider the king of the south and protect Huang Sidian's life. It is also for the protection of the Wei Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”
The empress frowned slightly. Looking at Han Jian's gaze, he seemed to be re-examining Han Jian. And Han Jian's expression on his face at this time was more like a strategist who was not shocked, offering advice to the empress.
The Empress stood up. Standing in front of the case, he sighed slightly: "What the East King said is reasonable, but it is inconvenient for me to ask about this matter." ”
Han Jian said again: "Your Majesty, last time the minister helped the sixth prince to find out the fraud case in the department, and found that Li Shilang was greatly involved in this case. His Majesty was not held accountable, and it was inconvenient for the minister to ask, but the minister also learned that there was someone behind Li Shilang, who was close to the third prince, and it was not a pity that his heart could be killed. Huang Sidian just did something that the minister wanted to do but did not do, and his crime should be punished, but his circumstances can be avoided. ”
The empress looked at Han Jian and smiled with relief, as if she was glad that Han Jian could say such a thing. But she also sighed helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to eradicate the people behind Li Shilang, it's just that the situation doesn't allow it." Now that Li Shilang is dead, if I openly protect the murderer, some things will be open and unfavorable. In this way, I will give you a handwritten edict, and you will take it to the Tingwei Mansion, so that Huang Sidian can temporarily detain the Tingwei Mansion pending trial, and this is the only thing I can do. ”
Han Jian came here to ask for such an edict from the empress, and he also knew that if the empress granted amnesty and released people, it would be no different from openly breaking with the king of the north. What we have to do now is to save Huang Lie's life first, and then take a long-term view step by step.
"Thank you." Han Jian bowed down to receive the order.
The empress sat down again, wrote a handwritten message, and while handing it to Han Jian, she looked at Han Jian's face and said, "King Dong, I am very pleased that you share your worries about me." But I don't want you to get involved too much, and there are some things that you can get out of the way of, so it's better not to ask about them. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian received the order again.
"Hmm." The empress nodded slightly and handed the edict to Han Jian. Han Jian was about to retreat, but at this time, Yang Xi outside relieved his breath and asked the eunuch to come in and ask to see him.
"King Dong, you go first, I won't keep you more." The Queen's Road.
Han Jian saluted goodbye, and passed by Yang Xi when he went out of the door. Yang Xi saw Han Jian leaving in a hurry, a little strange, just now he was urging him to go back to the palace like a ghost, but now when he returned to the palace, he directly hung him aside, and now he left without saying a word?
"Sister." Yang Xi entered Ye'an Pavilion and was about to talk to the empress, when the empress got up and said, "Xi'er, you are also tired, go back and rest early." My sister also has to go back to the dormitory first. ”
"Huh? …… Oh. Yang Xi touched his head, not quite understanding why he had to leave without even talking to his sister.
Yang Xi and Yang Yu are princes, they have no title, and the empress has always let them live in the palace, but they do not live in the inner palace, but in the special residence of the palace. When Yang Xi saw his sister enter the inner palace, he naturally couldn't follow, so he had to go out of Ye'an Pavilion first and go back to his residence.
The empress came out of Ye'an Pavilion and specially explained to the eunuchs who accompanied her, ordering Yang Yu not to disturb her after returning to the palace. The empress has already calculated, and when Yang Yu returns to the palace, she must be the first thing to ask to see him. I want to ask Huang Lie about his capital crime.
"陛xià." At the entrance of the inner palace, a snowy figure in white slowly fell in front of the empress. Clasp your fists and salute.
The palace maids and eunuchs on the side were originally very nervous, but the empress raised her hand slightly. Motioned for the palace maid and the eunuch to retreat.
When only the empress and the man in white remained, the empress's expression became a little solemn, and even a little cold.
"Senior sister, you're one step late." The Empress said slightly angrily.
"Yes." The person who came was Han Jian's beautiful master Fa Yi, as the person arranged by the empress to keep an eye on Han Jian, almost everything Han Jian did couldn't escape Fa Yi's eyes. Originally, the Empress Fang Fa was also very relieved at Han Jian's side, but she didn't expect that Han Jian had indeed encountered a lot of things recently, and Fa Ye had not done her duty.
"The grass people have tracked down the person who hurt people, and they have come to pay tribute to His Majesty." Law is also the way.
"What do you say? Someone who hurts? ”
"Yes. When he was in Yuhua Building, it was not Huang Gongzi who hurt people. It was the entourage of the Li family, and the entourage of the Li family secretly stumbled and caused Li Wei to fall from the upper floor, but the situation was chaotic at that time, and only the grass people could see it clearly when they were in a high place. ”
The Empress let out a long sigh, things had gone beyond her imagination. Originally, she thought that Huang Lie had killed Li Wei by mistake, but she didn't expect that there was another hidden story in the murder case.
"But tracking down the whereabouts of the murderer?" The Empress asked.
Fa Yi nodded first, then shook his head slightly: "I chased it, but it has been extinguished." ”
Hear the word "extinguish the mouth". The empress seems to have expected that since someone wants to kill Levi and doesn't want to reveal her identity, she will naturally cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Senior sister, go first. Jian'er, don't go over yet, he is already suspicious in his heart. If he finds you, I can't explain many things to him. with his abilities. You don't necessarily need your sister to protect you. ”
"Yes." Fa also received the order and respectfully retreated.
The Empress also left. He stood still for a long time and did not move. Many things have developed beyond her control, originally this was a slow and gradual move, and because of some waves and muddied the water, she can't see clearly now, how many forces behind it are coveting the throne. In the empress's heart, there is only one major trouble to be eliminated in the final analysis, and that is the king of the north.
"My father said on his deathbed, if the king of the north is not removed, the Wei Dynasty will eventually be in chaos. After all, my father was not mistaken. The Empress sighed to herself at last.
……
……
Han Jian, who left the palace, took the guards directly to the Tingwei Mansion. He wanted to deliver the empress's edict before the criminal department went to the Tingwei Mansion to save Huang Lie's life.
Because it was already night, there were few pedestrians on the street, and Han Jian was not walking on the avenue, but just wanted to walk nearby. But at this moment, a carriage stopped on the side of the street, driven by a young woman, and as the carriage stopped, the woman took off the stool and helped a woman in the carriage to get out of the car.
"Who!" As Han Jian stopped, the guards of the Eastern Palace's Mansion were already facing a great enemy, although there were only two women in front of them who looked weak and unruly.
The people who came were Mrs. Luo and Da Nishiyanagi, who had just surrendered.
"Stand down." Han Jian said sharply.
"But the young boy ......"
What else did the guards want to say, but Han Jian seemed to be extremely impatient, and shouted, "Let you stand down and don't hear!" ”
Han Jian has always been gentle and elegant, and he is also polite to the guards, he has never been so angry, and the guards hurriedly took the order to retreat, so that Han Jian can be alone with Mrs. Luo and Da Xiliu.
Mrs. Luo approached with the help of Daxi Liuxiang and saluted: "Your Highness, the matter you confessed, the concubine body has done it for you!" ”
"Done?" Han Jian sneered, with a hint of hideousness in this smile, "What you've done is to find someone to kill Li Wei, and then frame it on Huang Lie's head?" ”
"This ......" Mrs. Luo was a little frightened, she didn't quite understand what Han Jian meant.
The order to kill Li Wei was given by Han Jian, she just followed Han Jian's instructions and found someone to try to kill Li Wei, who knew that there would be such a good opportunity in Yuhua Building. And the person she found also completed the task smoothly, so that Levi died, and before the matter was found on her head, she asked people to kill people, which can be said to be done seamlessly. She didn't understand why Han Jian was so angry.
"Your Highness...... If the concubine has done something wrong, please ask His Royal Highness to speak clearly. ”
This was the first thing Han Jian explained to Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo felt from Han Jian's attitude that she should have stabbed the hornet's nest, but she didn't know why. (To be continued......)
