Chapter 429: Reversal of the case
Zhao Ye looked at Emperor Zhou, whose face was gradually gloomy, and became more and more excited, and said with a smile: "Your woman, your son, your courtiers, and even your mother are just tools for you to use!" You are clearly more ruthless than anyone else, more ruthless than anyone else, but you have to pretend to be affectionate and righteous! I know that even if I don't do it on the day of the sacrifice, I will still be a dead word after returning to the capital, and I will have no use for you at all, and I am a stone that can be kicked away at any time! I have today, thanks to you, it is you who have pushed me out of hell, it is you who have built a paradise for me, so that I naively think that I can get everything, but in the end I will only fall into a darker hell, I am not your son, I am just a pawn of yours, it is ridiculous that I really thought that I could get your love and recognition! ”
"I am innocent with my mother, and she is just a poor woman who has been hurt by you!" Zhao Ye sneered, "You killed all the people you love you one by one, the rest of the people around you are all corpses under your power without warmth, even if you own the world, you are still alone!" ”
The complexion on Emperor Zhou's face gradually calmed down, and he looked at Zhao Ye indifferently and said, "It seems that you have no repentance at all!" ”
"Why repent when you have done nothing wrong?" Zhao Ye sneered.
"That's fine, I let you and your queen mother be a mother and son on Huangquan Road!" Emperor Zhou said lightly.
"What do you say! Queen Mother, she ......" Zhao Ye's face changed greatly, and then he laughed maniacally, "It's good to be dead, it's clean to be dead!" If you die, you don't have to look at your face anymore, and live in your shadow! ”
Emperor Zhou turned to leave, and Zhao Ye suddenly shouted, "Father, do you think you get everything?" The son will watch your high-rise buildings overturn, and the son will give you filial piety on Huangquan Road! Hahahaha! ”
Emperor Zhou left the cell and said indifferently: "Give him poisonous wine and leave him a whole corpse!" ”
"Yes!"
Emperor Zhou walked alone in the palace, full of ambition, his face exuded a confident and calm brilliance, his eyes were wise and deep, and the momentum of looking at the world made the guards on both sides frightened.
At ten o'clock at noon, the body of the eldest grandson Hu was sent to the palace, Emperor Zhou lifted the white cloth, looked at this opponent he had been for decades, there was a slight hint of stumbling in his eyes, and ordered him to be buried in Mount Tai, which was regarded as giving the queen mother a peace of mind.
As for those who surrender from the eldest grandson family, they will all be escorted back to the capital and then sent down, and those who resist and do not obey will be beheaded for public display!
As for the pacification of the Changsun Hu Rebellion, the casualties were far less than he expected, and the juniors he cultivated earlier have also been able to carry the great cause, and the national strength of the Great Zhou has not been seriously traumatized, and the Great Zhou can still be dominant!
Emperor Zhou ordered the fourth class to return to Beijing in early February, and on the evening of February 3, he wanted to go to the palace and feast the meritorious ministers.
After three rounds of drinking, the monarchs and ministers enjoyed together, and the atmosphere was in full swing.
And as the prince, Zhao Yan, who has added military merits this time, is the best candidate for the crown prince in the eyes of the ministers, Emperor Zhou looked at a son who was very satisfied, and said in a drunken tone: "The second child has merit this time, whatever reward you want, I will depend on you!" ”
Zhao Yan got up, knelt in the center of the hall, raised his head and hugged his fists and said: "Erchen doesn't dare to take credit, this trip to Mount Tai, Erchen learned a lot from his father, and his father is really strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, but Erchen has one thing, but he wants to ask his father!" ”
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou was very curious about Zhao Yan's request, "Let's talk about it!" ”
Zhao Yan hugged his fists and said: "There is an old man who wants to ask to see his father, and I hope that his father can allow him to meet him!" ”
"The deceased?" Emperor Zhou played with his wine glass, and his eyes gradually showed displeasure, "Since it is, let him in!" ”
After a while, I saw Yang Xing pushing a man in a wheelchair inside, the man's face was haggard, he was thin and weak, except for a few people who had personal relations with him who recognized him, no one else would think that this was the famous General Bai more than ten years ago!
The faces of a few people have changed, and they looked at Zhao Yan above the hall suspiciously, I don't know what these two princes think, don't put the position of the prince well, but want to anger Your Majesty! Now that His Majesty is in power, no one can interfere with him anymore, and who can withstand his thunderous anger!
Emperor Zhou's face returned to normal, and there was no change at all in the eyes of others, only Qi Guifei, who was closest to him, saw the anger hidden in his eyes, and was worried about his son in his heart, why didn't he discuss such a big matter with himself?
Bai Siyuan slowly moved forward, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Zhou and said, "Bai Siyuan, the grass people, have seen Your Majesty!" Forgive the grass people for their disabled bodies and can't give His Majesty's luggage! ”
Bai Siyuan! He's Bai Siyuan! The ministers were shocked, how could Bai Siyuan appear here, it turned out that the news that he was not dead turned out to be true!
"Do you know who you are? I had the courage to come to the truth! Emperor Zhou smiled faintly and glanced at Zhao Yan, "My emperor really gave me a big surprise!" ”
"The grass people knew that they should have been dead, and they had a breath left, and they were just trying to state the grievances of the Bai family!" He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Zhou fearlessly, "The first prince has not rebelled, and the Bai family has not rebelled, everything is planted by the eldest grandson!" ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and an atmosphere of unease spread around them.
"What credentials do you have?" Emperor Zhou asked lightly.
Bai Siyuan took out a letter from his arms and said: "This is the self-confession written by the eldest grandson Hu before he died, which writes in detail how he framed the former prince and the Bai family, I hope Your Majesty can see the details and return the innocence of the first prince and the Bai family!" ”
The palace people stepped forward to take the self-declaration in Bai Siyuan's hand and handed it to Emperor Zhou, who glanced at it: "At the beginning, the rebellion between the prince and the Bai family was a matter of conclusive evidence, but now with just a letter, how can you conclude that there is something else hidden in the matter back then?" Moreover, the eldest grandson Hu is a rebellious person, what is the credibility of this person's words? ”
On the night when Changsun Hu was captured, he sent someone to kill Changsun Hu, but he didn't expect that Changsun Hu had committed suicide, but he didn't expect to let them take the lead, he glanced at Zhao Ling, and a sneer appeared in his heart, you dare to do things without me, you are very bold!
"A man is dying, and his words are good!" Bai Siyuan said, "Besides, it's not just the self-confession of Changsun Hu, the grass people are living evidence, and the evidence of this trap planted one by one has also been collected in the capital, as long as His Majesty orders a re-investigation of the case of rebellion back then, it will definitely be able to come to light, and when the time comes, it will be clear whether he will eat the consequences or be framed!" ”
Bai Siyuan spoke sonorously and powerfully, full of indignation and righteousness, no one knew what happened in the middle of what the Shenwu general had become the weak man he was today!
"The son asks his father to re-investigate the case of the Bai family's rebellion!" Zhao Yan clenched his fists and said.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Zhao Qian and Zhao Ling left their seats and knelt on top of the main hall.
The ministers began to whisper, in the face of such a situation, how many people dared to challenge the emperor's authority? They are not relatives of the emperor, and if they touch His Majesty's scales, there is only one way to die!
Emperor Zhou looked coldly at the three young people above the main hall, these three young people used to be the juniors he admired the most, but now they were against him together!
His disappointment with this son and his disappointment back then, was the truth really that important? Isn't it important to have a stable society and a prosperous national strength of the Great Zhou?
What's wrong with eradicating people who threaten the stability of the Great Zhou? Why can't the second child, who is his successor, even see this clearly? It's not the past that matters, it's the future!
His eyes glanced at him, and several ministers who wanted to seconded the proposal were frightened back at the same time, and he glanced at the king of Chu again and asked him to take care of his son, but the king of Chu was drinking by himself at this time, ignoring the thrill in front of him!
The smile on Emperor Zhou's face turned soft, and he said unexpectedly: "Quasi-play!" Although a long time has passed since the events of that year, I didn't expect you to still remember, I am very pleased, Prime Minister Bai is highly respected, how about leaving this matter to him to investigate? ”
"Ministers must do their best!" Prime Minister Bai hurriedly got up and said.
Zhao Ling and the others also felt that His Majesty's attitude had changed too quickly, and although they were puzzled in their hearts, they said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Zhou's eyes looked at Bai Siyuan again: "You are the important person in this case, just go back to Beijing with me!" If you find out that your family is really innocent, I will naturally return your innocence! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The smile on Emperor Zhou's face gradually sank, and he said, "I can't beat the wine, you continue!" After the words fell, he got up and left Dadian, and Concubine Qi hurriedly followed behind him, and glanced at Zhao Yan and the others worriedly.
In addition to the main hall, Emperor Zhou's face was completely gloomy, and Concubine Qi stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
Emperor Zhou turned around and slapped Qi Guifei's face, and shouted coldly: "Good son you taught!" ”
Concubine Qi hurriedly knelt down, lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine has no way to teach her son, the concubine is guilty, please calm your anger!" ”
"What are your crimes, get up quickly, you are the future queen mother!" Emperor Zhou said predictively.
"Your Majesty......" Qi Guifei was startled and hurriedly prostrate on the ground, "Don't you want to scare the concubine?" ”
"Does your son feel that his wings are stiff, and now he is against me?" Emperor Zhou laughed even more coldly, "Doesn't he want to overturn the case for the Bai family?" I will follow him, and I will see where he can go! ”
"Your Majesty, Yan'er has had a deep relationship with the former prince since she was a child, and she doesn't want to think that her most beloved brother is rebellious, and she doesn't really want to go against Your Majesty!" Qi Guifei hurriedly said.
Emperor Zhou squatted down and raised Qi Guifei's chin: "Today's scene, you also want to see it, right?" ”
