Chapter 427: Something Happened in the Front Hall
Going to prison and raiding your home is only the first step, and I'm afraid that this matter will be in trouble for a month. ”
Meng Li quipped: "What, worried that your marriage with Su Yan will be delayed?" ”
"Where would she worry, I'm afraid she's going to steal the fun." As she spoke, Rong Yue also walked over.
Mu Yunyi glanced at Rong Yue, but did not deny that in the subtle gaze between the two, Meng Li saw the clue.
It's just that a lot of things can be tacitly understood, and the three of them didn't talk about it anymore.
"In other words, what is the prince's attitude on this matter? It was his grandfather's house after all. Rong Yue mentioned another key figure in the case.
Meng Li answered Rong Yue's question: "Today, the prince is seriously ill and recuperates in the East Palace, so the prince of the early dynasty did not appear at all. ”
"The prince is sick?" Rong Yue was very surprised, "When I saw Su Yan the day before yesterday, I heard him say that he was going to go out of the city with the prince in the afternoon, but I didn't hear that the prince was sick." ”
"Of course it's a disguise, the prince must have known about today's events, and I'm afraid that this 'illness' was only discussed with his father." Meng Li pointed out the key.
"Although Ye Yanghou is the maternal grandfather of Prince Yi, don't forget that the first identity of the prince is always the emperor's son and the prince of Dongzhao." Mu Yunyi's eyes were clear, and he asked Rong Yue to listen to the entanglements: "The criminals of the Ye Yang family are monstrous, damaging the interests of Dongzhao and the royal face, whether the prince Yi is a son or a minister, it is impossible to favor the Ye Yang family a little bit, but if he appears in the court this morning and is indifferent, it will inevitably be criticized for his wisdom and self-preservation, regardless of family affection, and simply not appearing, it will save a lot of trouble." ”
"I see." Rong Yue suddenly realized that she knew what was going on in the military camp and on the battlefield, but when it came to the eunuchs and nobles, power and strategy, she was not very thorough.
Ye Yanghou's case, sure enough, affected the whole body, although many people who were involved in the Ye Yang family saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and immediately increased, but this matter Donglin Xun had already mastered all the context and evidence, so all the people involved in this case were found out.
Naturally, Tanglin Xun also knew that with so many officials in important positions, a one-time investigation would inevitably cause greater shocks and turmoil in the DPRK and China, so he applied both grace and power, and those who were close to the circumstances were dismissed from their posts and investigated, while those who were ordinary were dealt with according to the circumstances, and the punishment was small and the punishment was great.
Five days later, Ye Yangzhong's case was settled, and Ye Yangzhong was convicted of five capital crimes of "defrauding the king", "forming a party for personal gain", "murdering the prince", "usurping dictatorship", "embezzlement and accepting bribes", and 14 felonies such as "speaking wildly", "lawlessness", and "abuse of privileges".
"The punishment for the crime of sitting in a row this time is really not light, and all nine clans have been exiled." After hearing about the final trial of Ye Yang's case early this morning, Rong Yue commented, "It's just that Ye Yangzhong himself was not sentenced to death, and Ye Yang's own clan was only exiled and confiscated from his family, and he was not reduced to slavery, could it be that he took care of Queen Yeyang and the crown prince?" ”
"Yes, but not all, just exiled and not enslaved, since he took care of the face of the first queen and the crown prince, as for not sentencing Ye Yangzhong to death, it is to better contain those exiled children of the Yeyang clan, in case they are thieves do not die, as long as Ye Yangzhong is in hand, they will never dare to do anything."
"Wouldn't it be better to kill Ye Yangzhong directly to cut off their delusions?" Rong Yue was puzzled.
"No, no, no, the Ye Yang clan is deeply rooted in the history of Dongzhao, and it is by no means possible to completely disintegrate into ashes overnight, Ye Yangzhong, as the soul of this generation of Ye Yang family, is the belief that their whole clan relies on, if they kill him, maybe the Ye Yang clan will become loose and lost at first, but maybe another 'clan soul' will appear to guide them, and even inspire their own fighting spirit. On the contrary, if Ye Yangzhong is kept, the people of the Ye Yang family will continue to habitually rely on Ye Yangzhong, and will not have their own fighting spirit and thoughts, and there is only one thing that Donglin Xun needs to do - to see Ye Yangzhong to death. ”
"Oh, I understand, and Ye Yangzhong is imprisoned on death row, and the people outside seem to be merciful to the emperor, but in fact, Ye Yangzhong is really worse than dead."
Mu Yunyi patted Rong Yue's shoulder and pretended to be pleased: "Well, the son can be taught." ”
How could Rong Yue allow Mu Yunyi to take advantage of her like this, and reached out to pull her arm to catch it, but Mu Yunyi had already taken precautions and reflexively dodged, like a nimble and slippery fish that suddenly went around the door, making a high-spirited appearance: "Presumptuous, dare to be so rude to the eldest princess of the West Dome." As he spoke, he jumped out of the door and ran into the courtyard.
Rong Yue hooked the corners of her mouth: "Could it be that you are now the powerful Princess Anhe, and you will retreat when you reach out?" ”
Mu Yunyi leaned against a tree in the corner of the courtyard and said provocatively, "I'm afraid that after so many years, you still can't beat me up." ”
"Oh? Little Anhe, don't talk big. Rong Yue jumped up, "Look at the move!" ”
In this way, the two began to discuss "point to point", but the apricot trees in the small courtyard were stalked, and the leaves were chopped off the ground.
"Master! Miss Rong! Stop fighting, something's wrong! Bi Ying ran into the yard panting.
"What's wrong? You speak slowly. Mu Yunyi and the others both stopped and looked at Bi Ying.
"There's a ...... in the house Oh, the slave doesn't know what to say, just go ahead and see! ”
Mu Yunyi and Rong Yue glanced at each other and walked to the front hall together, but the dagger that the two of them didn't show when they made a move was pulled out of Mu Yunyi's waist at this moment.
When they approached the front hall, the three of them had already heard Meng Li's voice coming from inside.
"I don't know you, go away, go away!"
Mu Yunyi and Rong Yue stepped into the hall one after another, only to see a short figure "hanging" on Meng Li's body at the moment, and said aggrievedly: "Master, don't you want to be a disciple?" ”
Meng Li wanted to shake off the little little dot who was holding his arm and didn't let go, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would hurt him so hard that he had no choice but to shout in disgust: "Don't scream, I'm not your master!" ”
"Zi eaves?"
Mu Yunyi had already recognized who that kid was, it was the kid he met in the Misty Hidden Peak Grass House, the grandson of the young apprentice Wuyong. Thinking of the few days when he was recuperating in the grass house, it was this child who was by his side, even if he was separated later, Mu Yunyi would think of him from time to time, but he didn't expect it.
"Sister Mu!"
"Little Yiyi!"
Meng Li and Ziwei both had an expression like seeing a savior when they saw Mu Yunyi, and before Meng Li approached Mu Yunyi, Ziwei let go of Meng Li first and pounced on Mu Yunyi.
"Sister Mu, I finally see you again!"
