Chapter 165: Too Ruthless
"So King Ning refused to eat by means of hunger strike, and he was determined to wait for the emperor to come and ask him for his guilt in person, and when the emperor heard that something had happened to him, he went to prison, where only his scrawny corpse was left, and the confession he left before his death."
“……”
As the voice fell, the room became quiet.
King Ning's way of dying, the person who said it was speechless, and the person who listened didn't know what to say.
He's a prince!
Lu Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "So it's a fact to say that his crime is true. ”
Song Xiang was speechless.
These are all information she has come up with based on years of secret travel, and she generally does not want to make a conclusion about things that she has not personally verified. What's more, it's this kind of case that touches the head at every turn.
said that it is a fact, and there are many unjust cases in the palace in history. It is not unheard of to be beheaded for a prince who was framed and arrogantly violated the law of the French king, and some of the consequences are even more serious.
And the emperor hasn't mentioned this case again for many years, she thinks that it should be true after all, right?
Seeing that Lu Zhan was distracted, she asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Lu Zhan sighed heavily: "King Ning is cherished by his parents, everything he gets is the best, and if he is suddenly imprisoned, he will threaten each other in the form of a hunger strike, although it is a little too radical, but it is not so strange."
"And before that, he first lost the eldest brother of the crown prince, and then lost the mother who loved him, and he was locked in prison, and his father, who used to love him, refused to see him, I thought, before he died, he must have been very desperate to be cruel to himself.
And he was only ten or twenty years of life at that time, and for him, in front of his father, he was just a child who made mistakes, so why was he treated like this by the emperor? Why can't I go to see him in prison? ”
Song Xiang was silent under his feelings.
doesn't evaluate the emperor, but compares her heart to her heart, if it were her child, she wouldn't be so ruthless.
She believed that if the queen was alive, she would not be able to do it.
Of course, as the emperor of a country, his considerations cannot be limited to family feelings.
But before King Ning broke the law, he had lost the only way to protect his mother at the critical moment, maybe it should be said that luck is like this!
However, Lu Zhan was a little too emotional, and when he snubbed her with his head held high in the past, she didn't see that he had such a compassionate heart!
Thinking of what he had done, she drank the remaining half of the tea, and put the cup back on the table, which made the sparrow look up outside the window.
Lu Zhan, who also came back to his senses, filled her with tea: "I only heard that King Ning committed suicide before, and I have never heard of such a heart-wrenching truth. And then? ”
"Later, I don't know how the emperor returned to the palace. It's just that when such a thing happens, the emperor must be angry in his heart, so no one dared to mention King Ning for a long time, and since then, the world has gradually dared not mention it.
"But the more this happens, the more enthusiastic the eunuchs are to discuss these things, and they can't talk about King Ning in front of the emperor, and most of them are the words that these people have sent to themselves."
Except for the concubines, who is closest to the emperor? Not the eunuchs yet! Sometimes, perhaps the eunuch is closer than the concubine. And the eunuchs of the palace also belong to the twenty-four supervision, and they dare not talk nonsense about other things, and this kind of thing is always better to talk about it in private.
Lu Zhan listened. He also said: "Since King Ning has not been convicted of disobedience, then his family should still be alive." ”
"It's long gone." Song Xiang glanced at him, "After King Ning died, Princess Ning, who was pregnant, also died. There are legends that she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and some people say that she committed suicide by touching the cliff, and the body is clearly laid there. ”
Lu Zhan was stunned: "Why do you want to take such a desperate road?" ”
"Because once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea." Song Xiang looked deeply, "It is impossible for a woman who marries into the clan to have any other ending except that she is born a royal person and dies a royal ghost."
"What's more, King Ning committed suicide, which is against the rules, even if his wife and children are allowed to live, how can it be any better? Being able to be banned according to the palace rules is considered a good end. ”
Lu Zhan was a little ashamed of what she said. He thought of Song Xiang again, who was tied up in his previous life and had to have children with him.
But he still felt that Princess Ning was a little rash because of her death like this. Only when a person is alive can there be hope, like him, when he dies in a previous life, there is nothing. Of course, he is a man, and he may not be able to understand the feelings of a woman in a desperate situation.
"Then what is the background of this Princess Ning?" Could it be that because I can't do things and am afraid, I went to a dead end?
Song Xiang looked at him: "Princess Ning is a famous local talent in Yunnan. She is the great hero of the King of Chu who broke down with the emperor, and the eldest granddaughter of Wei Jiang, a university scholar during the first emperor's period, I remember that the Wei family moved back to their original place before Wei Jiang's death, but the queen still remembered the young lady of the Wei family, and later recruited her daughter-in-law. ”
“……”
"After Princess Ning's death, the emperor probably remembered Wei Jiang's merits, and also took care of the Wei family, and deliberately promoted the Wei family's children several times, but there were not many members of the Wei family, and Princess Ning's two elder brothers euphemistically said that they were not willing to return to the dynasty for the time being, and then there was no sound."
This Princess Ning, who committed suicide while pregnant, is actually the blessed princess that Liu said.
Lu Zhan really didn't expect it.
"Then there are always other people in the palace?"
"The rest of the people in the palace, the few suspected of being complicitors, are basically dead. The rest of them did not have access to the core of the palace, so they were all dismissed. It is said that the Ningwang Mansion, which was personally watched by the emperor and queen in the past, has long been hidden under the barren grass. ”
Song Xiang was also in a difficult mood when he learned all this, even after so many years, it was still difficult to hide his sighs.
Since King Ning did not commit a heinous crime, then he died in prison in such a way, and I really don't know whose responsibility it is.
After hearing this, Lu Zhan silently held the cup.
King Ning is his own uncle, and he has never heard anyone mention it, so he just knows that there is such a person, but now when he listens to Song Xiang talk about it carefully, he also has a pity in his heart-
Who wouldn't yearn for such a smart and capable person? Even though Lu Zhan had never met him, he couldn't help but blame him for being so frivolous, and if a good prince didn't do it, he wanted to violate the royal law.
Thinking of himself again, he used to be so pampered and arrogant, of course, he was far less daring than King Ning, and dared to trample on the queen's peony, but after all, it shows the problem: the higher he stands, the worse he falls.
In his life, he has to stand tall, but he can't follow in the footsteps of King Ning.
Thinking of this, he still couldn't help but say, "Is King Ning really guilty of committing a crime and being detained?" Not framed? ”
