Chapter 113: Edict
Xie Pu raised his head suddenly, he couldn't even take care of his shoes, and directly got off the kang and lifted the bead curtain to look at Zhao Fengnian outside: "A bigger plan? Fang Wenshan said?! ”
Before Zhao Fengnian could answer, Xie Xianzhi preemptively asked his father: "What is the scheme?" Does my father know about this?! ”
Xie Jinzhi thought thoughtfully: "It's the letter that the Cao family claimed to prove his father's crime, but disappeared in the study for some reason, right?" I remember...... It was the third sister who stole it out. Cao's henchmen tried to search for the third sister several times, but they were never found......"
Xie Mulin smiled slightly and glanced at his brother. Xie Jinzhi immediately understood. Although his sister did not mention this letter to him in detail, at that time, his sister and third sister were trapped in the main courtyard of the Xie family's old mansion in the capital.
Xie Jinzhi didn't say anything more, but Xie Pu thought about it and simply told Xie Xianzhi directly: "I'm just guessing." At that time, Ping Nanbo was able to take out such a forged letter and easily use it on me, and later I found out that the person who forged the letter was killed, but his son escaped and fell into the hands of the emperor. It's a pity that the other party doesn't know much about the Cao family, only that his father forged many letters and documents, but he doesn't know the specific content of each one. But judging from what he knew, Ping Nanbo was tantamount to having a disobedient heart back then! ”
"Don't ......be a minister" Xie Xianzhi's face turned pale, his body shook, and he soon thought that it was not so much that Ping Nanbo, who had no military power in his hands, had a heart of disobedience and delusional hope that he could rebel, but that he had the intention of taking advantage of the fact that his eldest sister was the queen and his nephew was the prince, and he planned to fight for a meritorious service. Even if such a great achievement does not allow him to surpass the long room and no longer be suppressed by the elder line, at least it can make him stand on his own and raise his eyebrows. And if he has such an idea, and goes to find someone who is good at forging documents to help, what else can he for? Naturally, it is a forgery of holy decrees and pretentious acts!
If the emperor is safe and sound, Ping Nanbo is looking for death if he does this kind of thing, not to mention the hundred officials of the court, even Chengenhou can't allow him to mess around. But if something happens to the emperor, there is a queen in the palace, and the crown prince is the prince who has been canonized for many years...... As long as there is another holy decree, which clearly states that the crown prince will ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, who will question it? The four words "justifiable" are enough to overwhelm everything!
However, since the premise of doing this was that something happened to the emperor, and Ping Nanbo had already found someone to start forging documents, and by the way, he also killed the maker, so it was clear that he had planned to be unfavorable to the emperor, and in order to send his eldest sister and nephew to the throne, he moved the emperor as a roadblock. If he has this thought, the emperor will never let his family go!
This is not for fun!
The more Xie Xianzhi thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out. It turned out that his own uncle had such a dangerous plan, and almost swept his family into the abyss! No wonder Pingnan Bofu and his mother want to attack his father Xie Pu, if they want to do such a big thing, how can they do it without money? Father Xie Pu refused to obey the Cao family's orders in everything, of course they were going to snatch the Xie family's golden mountain!
Xie Yinghui also listened to it in the room. She left the Cao family and became estranged from the Cao family, which couldn't be more correct. She just hated the Cao family's coldness, where did she think that it was still a gang of rebellious ministers and thieves?! She wondered, did her mother, Cao Shuqing, know this? If my mother knows, have you ever thought that the Cao family is fighting a fatal idea, once the matter fails, the Cao family is certainly not guaranteed, she and her brother are the grandsons of the Cao family, and they are also the blood of traitors, can they save a life? !
What the hell is Mother trying to do?! For the sake of a wild man, she just abandoned her own flesh and blood, so that her flesh and blood could still follow her biological father and live a stable life. But if he buried his life for the ambition of the Cao family for some reason, wouldn't he die unjustly?! The mother not only did not stop the Cao family, but also helped them to harm the Xie family and cut off the children's back road. How could she be so ruthless?!
Xie Yinghui had an indignant expression on her face, Xie Mulin hurriedly hugged her, and softly comforted her, reminding her and Xie Xianzhi: "Ping Nanbo has been dead for several years. No matter how ambitious he once was, it was all in smoke! ”
Xie Pu looked back at his daughter: "Ping Nanbo is indeed dead, but Cheng Enhou and the rest of the Cao family are still alive. At that time, many of the people and property of Pingnanbo Mansion were swallowed by other people in the Cao family. ”
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui breathed a sigh of relief because of Xie Mulin's words, and became nervous again when they heard the words.
Zhao Fengnian affirmed the man's statement outside: "Yes, when the Pingnanbo Mansion was defeated, many of the family's property and properties fell into the hands of the Chengenhou Mansion, and Chengenhou gave some more to the Cao family's second room. Although Mrs. Pingnanbo also took some possessions with her children when she left, it seems that they were just some gold beads and brocades, and there was no such important thing. ”
Xie Pu asked him: "Does Ye Laogao know what is important about what fell into the hands of Chengenhou?!" ”
Zhao Fengnian replied: "Ye Laogao can't say clearly, he only said that when the Cao family and Fang Wenshan were on good terms in the past, there were no secrets between each other, and he had heard Fang Wenshan mention some of them. It seems that some documents or items forged by Ping Nanbo back then were all put away by Cheng Enhou. Fang Wenshan asserted that Cheng Enhou would do great things in the future, and he might be in power for a while, persuading the Cao family not to get into too much trouble with his mother's family, and that it was better to reconcile with his brother and sister if he had the chance. Cao had a taboo in his heart, and he delayed and refused to contact Jingzhong, until the death of Duchess Chengen, and then took the opportunity to return to Beijing to mourn and made some attempts, which did not seem to be successful. ”
Of course, Cao Shuqing didn't succeed, otherwise when she was clamoring to reconcile with Fang Wenshan, her brothers and sisters would not have been unmoved and refused to help her.
Xie Yinghui felt that her chest seemed to be less depressed: "So...... My mother didn't know what my third uncle had planned. On the contrary, it is Fang Wenshan...... I used to be an ally of my third uncle, and I knew something inside, and I told my mother? She bit her lip, "The third uncle was dead at that time...... Mother doesn't think it's like this?! ”
Where can Zhao Fengnian answer? Ye Laogao couldn't have known. The information he can provide now is either what Cao Shuqing revealed to him and asked him to hint at his children, or he has worked in Cao's family room and third room for many years, and has privately collected some internal information and reached a conclusion.
Xie Pu sighed, knowing where her daughter's heart was, but she didn't want her to be entangled in Cao Shuqing anymore. He asked Zhao Fengnian again: "Fang Wenshan is an insider, which is not surprising, but he can make a deal with that faction, in exchange for the safety of his relatives on the condition of revealing the secrets of the Cao family, he must also have evidence of the Cao family's conspiracy, right?" At the very least, the evidence should be there. What is that? Ye Lao Gao has heard of it? ”
Zhao Fengnian shook his head: "He didn't know clearly, I asked again and again, and he only knew that Ping Nanbo should have secretly bought a few craftsmen from the Internal Affairs Bureau, as if they were weavers or something, what kind of illegal clothing is it?" ”
Xie Pu shook his head. What is the illegal fabric? I'm afraid it's just a brocade material for the holy decree, right? If this thing was really copied in the Chengenhou Mansion, the evidence would be proper. And if there is still the so-called emperor's handwriting that Ping Nanbo found someone to forge back then, then the great crime of rebellion is ironclad!
If Fang Wenshan really came up with this evidence and testified against the Cao family, it would be equivalent to directly sending the nine clans of the Cao family to the guillotine, and no one could save them!
