Chapter 440: The Youngest Grandfather of the Kingdom
Li Zhou watched as Li Tingyu handed over a stack of letters to Zhang Chang.
After reading it, Zhang Chang slapped the shocked wood fiercely, and scolded sharply: "Li Zhou, can you plead guilty?" ”
"My lord, you have been wronged!" Li Zhou didn't care about what was written in those letters, and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted that he had been wronged.
He didn't know what to say now, so he had to pale and feebly shout a few powerless injustices.
"Are you wronged? Joke! This letter can be clearly written, when you finish dealing with the burden of the Yang family, you will marry the Liang family into the door. Zhang Chang sneered, very disdainful.
"I don't have it, I don't." Although he and Liang had a letter of affection, he never wrote such a thing on it.
Li Zhou's crazy denial not only failed to clear his suspicion, but made people suspect him even more.
Li Tingyu looked at his dying and struggling appearance indifferently.
Anyway, it's all faked, and the physical evidence is also fabricated.
After all, Li Tingxuan's date of birth can't be faked, and Li Zhou must have cheated on the Liang family during marriage.
She can just make a fuss about it, so that Li Zhou's motive for killing people is very reasonable.
Anyway, the Liang family is dead, and no one will come out to refute this matter.
Li Zhou's crime of killing his wife is conclusive.
Sure enough, everything was as she expected.
Li Zhou was finally sentenced to death for killing his wife and sent to prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
The news was transmitted back to the Li family, and the old lady suffered a stroke and collapsed on the bed when she heard it, and the entire Li family was in a mess.
All the power in the family went to Aunt Wang.
At this point, the grievances between Li Tingyu and the Li family came to an end.
At the same time, as the Six Princes became more and more insane, the deal between him and Wei Zhong also shook off.
Where would the other princes miss this opportunity to pick up the skin and draw blood, and they flocked to it, but they didn't expect to help Lu Ce find out the real reason for the tragic death of the Lu family.
Wei Zhong colluded with the Western Regions and Beidi, framed his colleagues, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers.
Such a big matter naturally cannot be handed over to the Criminal Department.
Emperor Wen Jing announced that he would personally try the case.
Wei Zhong knelt on the ground and didn't say a word, in addition to the officials above the third rank of the dynasty who came to participate in the trial of the three halls, there was also Lu Ce, the bitter master.
"Wei Zhong, can you plead guilty?" Emperor Wen Jing slapped the startled wood fiercely, his eyes full of anger.
The courtiers around nodded frequently, His Majesty really still values General Lu more.
Look at this angry appearance of Long Yan, he is really angry.
Lu Ce lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
If it weren't for his biological son shaking this matter out, I'm afraid that the Lu family would not be able to completely overturn the case in this life.
"The sin of the minister deserves death."
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhong did not deny it.
Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly lowered their heads and began to discuss.
"For the sake of the sixth rebel, you dare to do such a big thing that hurts the heavens and reason, you are a minister in vain. To you, you are unfaithful; To your friends, you are unjust. Emperor Wen Jing finished scolding, and he was a little out of breath.
He took a big sip of tea and continued to scold: "You have failed my trust in you, and you have also failed Lu Jiajun's trust in you, and you have failed the most to the group of soldiers who obeyed orders." Do you still deserve to be a general! ”
Every word is an accusation against Wei Zhong and a pity for the people, and everyone present is moved.
Their Majesty is a good emperor.
Wei Zhong listened to him talk about these hypocritical words with emotion, and he actually wanted to laugh a little.
It's a pity that he can't laugh at this scene.
It is clear that His Majesty gave him the right to find an opportunity to kill the Lu family, and now he is using his own people to threaten him and make him bear everything.
Isn't that funny?
After a slight pause, Wei Zhong put all the thoughts in his heart behind him and replaced them with a serious expression.
"The minister is guilty, the minister is confused, and the minister asks for self-destruction." After Wei Zhong finished speaking, he gave Emperor Wen Jing a heavy knock, and blood oozed directly from his forehead.
This move stunned everyone present.
They stared at Wei Zhong blankly, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Wen Jing covered his eyes, as if he was very sad: "I have agreed, let's go on the road immediately." ”
Without waiting for the people present to react, Wei Zhong snatched the knife of the guard on one side, wiped it his neck, and swallowed.
This speed was so fast that people couldn't react at all, and the guards who had been robbed of the knife were looking at Wei Zhong who was twitching on the ground at a loss.
"Your Majesty, this ......" The little guard looked at Emperor Wen Jing on the seat in horror.
"Drag him out and let the people vent. As for his family, exile him to the South Ridge. Emperor Wen Jing gave the order, and then he looked at Lu Ce, who was standing at the front and kept his head down.
"Lu Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty justified the name of the minister's family, and the minister is naturally grateful." Lu Ce raised his head, and the sarcastic smile on his face had been put away.
"It was my negligence that caused Lu Lao to suffer injustice." Emperor Wen Jing couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned General Lu.
"It has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it's Wei Zhong, a dog thief, who deceives and hides it." Lu Ce naturally knew that this matter was inseparable from Emperor Wen Jing, but what he could do now was to be a qualified echo worm and give Emperor Wen Jing a step down.
"That's right, Wei Zhong deceived his superiors and subordinates, damn it." Those ministers who came back to the taste also criticized Wei Zhong one after another.
"It's all quiet." Listening to these words of the ministers, Emperor Wen Jing's heart felt a lot more comfortable, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I have decided to posthumously give General Lu the title of Protector, do you have any opinions?" Although Emperor Wen Jing was asking a question, the meaning was obvious, and he didn't need any rebuttal.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The crowd knelt down and shouted.
"Lu Ce, since General Lu is gone, the title of Duke of this country will be granted to you." Emperor Wen Jing looked at Lu Ce kindly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Lu Ce knelt on his knees and respectfully saluted Emperor Wenjing.
Anyway, it's a name given for nothing, don't be in vain.
Not to mention that there are various benefits after becoming the grandfather of the country.
A year, he can pay 500 taels of silver and 300 stones of rice, and he is also a man who can support his family with him.
You don't have to rely on your daughter-in-law to support yourself anymore.
Lu Ce was happy, and Emperor Wen Jing was also very satisfied.
He immediately issued a holy decree and made Lu Ce the protector of the country.
He wants to see if this kid can be the grandfather of the country for a few days.
Lu Ce raised his head to receive the order, and when he saw Emperor Wen Jing's bottomless smile, he also smiled slightly.
He also wants to see that Emperor Wenjing, the emperor, can still be in office for a few days.
The two monarchs and ministers had different thoughts, but they also talked happily with each other.
The onlookers were envious, but they didn't dare to say more sour words.
Lu Ce was less than eighteen, and he became the youngest grandfather in the history of Dongcang.
How can this not make people envious, jealous and hateful!
The news that Lu Ce had become the protector of the country diluted Wei Zhong's death.
Whether it is an official of the court or an ordinary person, they all talk about this youngest grandfather in history.
