Chapter 184: Righteousness and Grace
"Have you ever heard of 'the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'?" Helian Yingche's words are mysterious.
Nangong Ru looked at Helian Yingche, who was pretending to be mysterious in front of him, and was confused.
Yun Wei'er has been feeling tired and tired recently, and her heart and mouth are hot and dry, so she only regarded it as the summer heat and didn't take it to heart. On this day, as soon as Yun Wei'er woke up from a nap, she heard that Yu'er, who was sent to Ye Lanju to deliver candied fruit, came back to report that Concubine Ru Nangong Ru was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor and executed three days later.
Yun Wei'er was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly asked: "Good and dignified, how can the emperor be under house arrest like a sister?!" ”
Yu'er shook her head and replied: "The slave maid heard the little eunuch say that it was because the emperor collected evidence that Concubine Ru Niangniang was the daughter of the criminal minister General Duanmu Wen in exile, and that Concubine Ru Niangniang was from the Annan Palace, and she was a traitor King Annan who carefully cultivated the dancing queen who charmed the emperor, so ......"
"I'm going to see the emperor and ask for clarification in person." Yun Wei'er said, got up and walked out. Yu'er was so good at talking, she couldn't stop it at all, and she was afraid that something bad would happen, so she had to follow her.
Yun Wei'er came to the door of the imperial study hall and asked to see the emperor, but was stopped by the imperial guards.
"Concubine Ying's forgiveness! The emperor is discussing state affairs with the ministers inside, and it is inconvenient for anyone to disturb him. A guard stopped.
"There is something important in this palace to see the emperor, and I am tired of reporting it." Yun Wei'er barely calmed down the ups and downs in her heart and said.
"This ...... Niangniang waited, and the minister went inside to report. The guard hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Yun Wei'er was resolute, he had to make an exception and go in to report it.
Helian Yingche was discussing government affairs with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and the two ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, when he suddenly heard the guards come in to report:
"Your Majesty! Concubine Ying asked to see her outside the palace! ”
"I'm on business with the minister, so I'll see you later." Helian Yingche pretended to be cold in front of Xiao Cheng and other courtiers.
The guards were ordered to go out and convey Helian Yingche's will to Concubine Ying'er.
Yun Ying'er was worried about Nangong Ru's life and death, and was anxious to see Helian Yingche face to face for verification, but Helian Yingche was in government affairs at this time, and it was inconvenient to disturb, even if Yun Wei'er was anxious, she knew that she couldn't exceed the rules, so she had to wait outside the palace gate. The guards and Yu'er persuaded each other left and right, persuading Yun Jie'er to go back to Yixin Garden first, and come back at another time, but Yun Jie'er did not allow it.
In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky. Yun Wei'er waited outside the temple gate for more than an hour. The guards outside the door saw that the persuasion was fruitless, and they were afraid that they would ruin the body of Concubine Ying, so they had to enter the palace to report again.
Helian Yingche had just finished discussing government affairs in the imperial study, and heard that the guards said that Yun Wei'er had waited outside the door for more than an hour to ask for a meeting, and finally he couldn't bear it and ordered the guard Xuan Yun Wei'er to come in.
Before the ministers left the hall, Yun Hui'er came to the palace, and when she passed by Xiao Cheng and other courtiers, Yun Wei'er caught a glimpse of the look of disdain and disgust on their faces when they saw themselves.
Yun Wei'er was eager to save people, and didn't think much about it, as soon as she saw Helian Yingche, she asked directly: "The concubine heard that the emperor is going to deal with Ru sister?" But is that really the case? ”
Helian Ying saw that Yun Wei'er was anxious, and knew that she was worried about Nangong Ru's safety, so she came to ask for verification.
However, it was indeed not the right time for Yun Hui'er to come. At this time, Xiao Cheng and other courtiers had not yet gone out of the gate, so they could naturally hear Yun Wei'er's words. Originally, the courtiers were hostile to the traitor King Annam's training and dedication to the dancing girl Yun Hui'er, and Yun Hui'er's life history was very complicated, and before the form of the court was clear, Helian Yingche could not explain it to the ministers. was misunderstood by the ministers, and implicated the Yan government, and those powerful ministers and loyal ministers were eager to catch Yun Wei'er's handle. But the anxious Yun Wei'er didn't wait for Helian Yingche to explain to her alone, and broke in to question him, which would definitely cause the dissatisfaction of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and others.
Sure enough, Xiao Cheng and other courtiers did not leave the main hall, but stopped, stood quietly aside, observed the words and looks, and listened carefully. They want to know whether the new emperor of Great Yan, Helian Yingche, will show favoritism in the face of right and wrong.
Helian Yingche's afterglow had already caught a glimpse of the faint color on the courtier's face, and deliberately showed the majesty of the supreme in front of Yun Wei'er, and ordered: "This is not a place where you can come as a concubine!" But I missed the heat outside to let you in. Unexpectedly, the first thing you said was to question my political affairs! ”
Yun Hui'er, who has always been spoiled by Helian Yingche and regarded as a treasure, has never seen Helian Yingche angry with him, and he is quite fierce. Yun Wei'er knows that there is a faux pas in her words and deeds today, but it is a matter of life and death for Ruru's sister, and as Nangong Ru's best sister, she can't do anything.
"The concubine knows that it is the concubine's fault to trespass into the palace and interfere with the discussion between the emperor and the ministers. But at this time, it is a matter of Sister Ru's safety, so the concubine dares to come and dare to ask to see the emperor, I wonder if the emperor really wants to execute Sister Ru? ”
At this time, Yun Wei'er was white and pale because of the scorching sun and worry, and her body looked very weak.
Helian Ying couldn't bear it, but he had no choice but to answer bluntly: "That Nangong Ru is the daughter of the criminal minister Duanmu Wen, and she is also the song and dance girl who the traitor Helian Yunjue sacrificed into the palace with the intention of confusing me. How could I keep her?! ”
"Then the emperor means ......" Yun Wei'er didn't dare to think further.
"I will give her a white silk hanging!" As soon as Helian Yingche spoke, he saw Yun Xuan'er, who couldn't withstand the blow, shook his body and almost fell to the ground.
Helian Yingche wanted to step forward to help, but there were too many miscellaneous people around him, so he had to have some scruples, so he had to put his heart sideways and watch with a cold face.
Yun Hui'er was sad like death, holding her chest, and said loudly: "Sister Ru's life experience cannot be changed, but when she was young, she didn't do anything wrong at all. For example, if my sister's home is raided and beheaded, and my female relatives are exiled, and now the dead are dead, and the dead are dead, is this punishment not enough? If my sister was taken in by King Annan and trained to become a song and dance girl, she just wanted to please the emperor in the future, as a manipulated chess piece, where is the crime so great that she can apologize for her crime with death? ! Since the emperor said that if my sister is the daughter of a criminal minister, she is a traitor. And the concubine also came from the Annan Palace, and she was also a singing and dancing girl trained by Helian Yunjue, and she also entered the palace and dedicated it to the emperor and became the emperor's concubine. Now that the emperor wants to give death like a sister, why not ask the guilty together with the concubines, and also reward the concubines with a white silk, so that the concubines will also have this sin! ”
Helian Yingche never expected that Yun Wei'er and Nangong Ru had such a deep relationship that they would say this. But Yun Wei'er's words fell into the ears of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and others. Helian Yingche had been trying to protect Yun Hui'er before, but at this time, he suddenly lost his barrier.
Helian Ying said thoroughly: "This is my main hall, how can I say such crazy words!" Someone came, Concubine Ying was tired, and helped Concubine Ying to return to Xinyuan. ”
Yu'er heard that the emperor was angry at the gate of the palace, so she hurriedly came over to help Yun Jie'er, whispered persuasion, and persuaded Yun Jie'er to go back to Yixin Yuan first.
Yun Wei'er broke away from Yu'er's shackles and said bitterly: "What the concubine said is not crazy, the emperor wants to execute Ru sister and save Da Yan's face, it is better to punish even the concubine together!" ”
"Presumptuous! Are you openly challenging my prestige?! Helian Ying's face was like frost, and he shot the case.
Helian Yingche turned his eyes at Yu'er on the side of Yun Wei'er, and said, "What are you still doing!" Don't hurry up and help Concubine Ying out! ”
