Chapter 15: Why don't you ask me?
The Queen Mother handed Mu Xin a handkerchief and motioned for her to wipe her tears. Wei Jinxuan is indeed Emperor Huiwen's most trusted brother, and he is also the most fearful, he knows best what the first emperor left him back then, but so what? What if those unreliable brothers are gone? Wei Jinxuan will also fall into a dead end, Jun is Jun after all, which of these dead is not his own brother? I spoiled Wei Peng like this, and raised their eldest daughter Wei Jiao by my side, didn't I just want to protect them more? King Xuan is a smart one, knows what kind of things to do when and when, this princess herself is very satisfied, she takes good care of her son and grandson, the palace is also well organized, their husband and wife are harmonious, deep affection, Xuan'er spoils her and loves her, she also respects him and loves him, she is a big help to Xuan'er, at this juncture, how can she not be able to carry the weight? Peng'er likes the daughter of that family, but the beautiful girl has drowned, he is still a child, and he will get better slowly, as for Xie Yingping......
The Queen Mother sighed, it may not be a good thing for her to live, her face that turns all beings upside down is originally her disaster, and it may be a disaster to the people close to her.
The Queen Mother patted her and said softly: "The mourning family has always been optimistic about you, this time the matter is not trivial, which is more important, the mourning family thinks you are still clear." ”
The princess wiped her tears, knelt at the feet of the queen mother again, choked and kowtowed: "The sons remember the teachings of the queen mother. ”
In the outer study of the palace, Wei Peng stood at King Xuan's desk, with a serious face and a tight mouth.
A pair of small boxers were hidden in their sleeves, and King Xuan asked lightly: "According to what Peng'er saw, what should I do at this time?" ”
Wei Peng forcibly hid the sadness on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Back to my father, I should close the door and thank the guests, and don't talk about this matter with the ministers." ”
King Xuan asked again, "Why?" ”
Wei Peng said: "Uncle Ping has been convicted for this, although his father is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, but he is also a prince, so he should avoid suspicion, so as not to fall into the eyes of people with intentions and become a party for personal gain." ”
King Xuan had a little appreciation on his face, and said, "What do you think of the Xie family's rebellion against King Ping and the Shen family?" ”
The look on Wei Peng's face was disgusted, and he said: "My son doesn't think that the Xie family has rebelled, if he wants to rebel, why should he take the lives of dozens of his own family on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, on the way back to Beijing, someone must have forced Da Lang and Lan Ruo's lives to be killed." As for King Ping's letter, it could have been destroyed when the mansion was sealed a few days ago, how could it be found out, obviously someone was to blame, Shen Shangshu ...... The son said no. ”
King Xuan nodded in approval and said, "These two are right. If Hou Ye Xie goes or not, it is death, if he goes with them for the sake of his grandchildren and granddaughters, he will have a solid attempt to rebel, and if he does not leave and returns to Beijing, he will not escape death, which is a dead end. Pingwang ...... Father didn't think he had a heart of disobedience, but he was afraid that he was pinching someone's handle, so he was pulled into the game. As for Shen Huaizhong, hehe, there are many intercessors in the court for the Xie family, he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, although Lord Xie is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but he must have a close relationship with the Ministry of War, he Shen Huaizhong is just the chicken that killed the monkeys. ”
Wei Peng's face showed a sense of realization, but he asked rhetorically: "Since he is just killing to scare people, why kill his whole family?" ”
The corners of King Xuan's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Of course, you have to do a full set of dramas, and there will be no living people in the Shen family to come out to overturn the case in the future." ”
Wei Peng asked again: "What about Uncle Wang?" Why did they just pick it out? Is it because of the Iron Coupon Danshu? ”
The expression on King Xuan's face changed slightly, and he slowly shook his head: "No." The Iron Coupon Danshu is just an important reason, this is their guarantee, and it is also their life-saving talisman, if the family has been as mediocre as it is now, if there is a son and nephew who will make trouble, or if he is outstanding, he will find a way to take it back, and then dispose of it cleanly. Do you want to understand the point of this for the Father? ”
Wei Peng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "But are you worried that this thing can give them the courage to coerce the Son of Heaven to repay their kindness?" ”
King Xuan smiled and nodded: "Exactly, there are two sides to everything in the world, behind today's prosperity, there are also invisible dilapidations, and once some things see the light, they will make people feel hateful and fearful, so ...... Everything that makes you feel frightened and threatening can be removed as soon as possible to make people feel at ease. ”
Wei Peng asked again: "Then why can't Aunt Ping be saved because of the family?" She's the Duchess of the Kingdom! ”
King Xuan's eyes fell into darkness, this darkness made him feel cold, and he thought of the news sent by the shadow: the emperor summoned Lian Guogong into the palace to reprimand, and announced Xie Yingping's entry into the palace to reprimand. After Xie Yingping entered the palace, she stayed in the imperial study for three hours before coming out, and when she came out, her face was pale, and the whole person was like having no soul, she did not return to the mansion of the princess, and went directly to the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan. As for what happened in the imperial study, it was hidden. What he feared, he thought, should have happened.
The imperial study was a mess, the ground was broken teacups and inkstones, paperweights, a place of twists and turns, all that could be thrown was thrown to the ground by Emperor Huiwen, that stubborn woman, like her Lao Tzu, he grabbed her clothes, picked up from the ground, her watery eyes were full of despair, he used to be so infatuated with this person's face, infatuated with the vividness in her eyes, but now, she only has disgust and hatred in her eyes, she hates herself so much, is it wrong to like her?
He stretched out his hand and caressed her beautiful face, the skin on her face was so smooth, if he didn't know, he would think that she was a girl who was less than ten or less, and he didn't know if the skin on her body was so soft. Emperor Huiwen was in a trance for a moment, his fingers touching her red lips, but he immediately came to his senses again, because the man had turned his head and tried to break free of him.
Emperor Huiwen's voice was a little hoarse, he stared into her eyes, and said, "Why don't you beg me?" If you open your mouth, I will spare you and let you live. ”
She also stared at him, and her voice was cold: "How does Your Majesty want your courtiers to live?" Is it humiliating to live by His Majesty's side like this? What's the point of living like this? You are the emperor on the high, if you have to beg your courtiers, since your family is dead, I have no reason to live alone, and I ask the emperor to give your courtiers a death. ”
Emperor Huiwen's face was pale, let go of his hand, the woman also fell to the ground, her palm was cut by broken porcelain, bleeding, Emperor Huiwen held her hand violently, wiped the blood on her hand hard, and said urgently: "Do you hurt?" I'll send you the Imperial Doctor right away. ”
The woman sneered and shouted, "Your Majesty, how many more do you want to kill before you are willing?" Do you want the imperial doctor to come in and watch you imprison your courtiers? Aren't you afraid that spreading it will damage your reputation? You are a noble man, can you have such a stain? ”
