The emperor couldn't help but ask, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

The crown prince's waist bent lower, and he replied respectfully: "The minister didn't know about this matter in advance, so he couldn't defend the sixth brother, and it was all up to the saint to make a clear decision." ”

The emperor was a little angry. This prince, when asked him what he said, he couldn't hear the difference between answering and not answering.

The spearhead was all pointed at the prince, and the whole situation was one-sided. The emperor frowned and rubbed his temples, and Liu Zhenliang immediately leaned over to massage his head.

The snow outside had been falling in a rustling manner, and the clouds were thick, and there was a terrible gloom in the heavens and the earth. Although it was morning, the hall was still dark and gloomy.

But I saw Li Xian suddenly stand up, his eyes swept over all the people in the hall, for some reason, there was a trace of determination in his eyes, and something subconsciously made people feel dangerous. The atmosphere was a little weird, and everyone stopped talking for a while.

Li Jian looked at the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing for the minister to be able to accompany him in the past few years. Today, His Majesty ordered his ministers to confront him in court, which is also His Majesty's trust in his ministers. ”

Everyone didn't know what he was going to say, they all looked at him in unison, waiting for the next step, and the emperor also bowed his head slightly and signaled him to continue.

"Today's events, the minister really can't explain it, the only possibility is to be slandered and framed!"

As soon as the words came out, it was equivalent to making the battle that had been underground for many years public, and all the ministers were in an uproar, but the emperor's face was solemn and dignified.

He is not unaware that although he established the crown prince soon after he ascended the throne, he has been struggling with whether to abolish the prince for many years, and his attitude towards the prince is ambiguous, so that the prince and King Shu are constantly fighting openly and secretly.

But over the years, there has been no big trouble, and he has allowed them to do all the treasures, which has also become a means for him to balance the power of the imperial court.

Li Jian's voice suddenly became excited, and a few wanted to interject, but he didn't give people any room at all, and quickly continued: "If today, it may not be like this, the country and the people are safe and peaceful, but this Manchu civil and military people are thinking about how to accuse the ministers and frame the ministers, but they don't think about sharing the worries for Your Majesty, and in the long run, the society will be worried!" ”

These words have been said quite heavily, and the emperor even wanted to stop him, but before the words could be spoken, Li Jian suddenly took a step forward, knelt down in front of the throne with a "plop" sound, and kowtowed three times: "The minister was wrongly loved by His Majesty and accepted as the prince." The sincerity of the ministers, the loyalty and benevolence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for 20 years, can be learned from heaven and earth! ”

The emperor was a little stunned, suddenly startled, he had realized something, and was about to give an order, but it was too late.

Li Jian suddenly took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, and the audience was shocked, and there was a sound of gasping, for fear that he would become a live target, so he instantly took a few steps back. Liu Zhenliang hurriedly guarded the emperor, a little frightened: "Escort...... Escort! ”

The corners of Li Xian's mouth pulled up a smile, tranquil, quiet, and warm as jade that was very incongruous with the atmosphere in the hall, even the emperor was stunned, and he didn't order someone to take his blade.

Li Xian raised the dagger, only to hear a "poof", like a ripe tomato being pierced, and the red and warm blood spurted out, almost spraying onto the table in front of the throne, and suddenly there was a fishy sweet smell that stimulated everyone's mouth and nose.

Li Xian looked down at his chest, seemed to be very satisfied with this masterpiece, and slowly raised his head, his eyes were still clear: "Your Majesty, don't forget the grievances of your ministers, don't forget the past...... King ...... Jianning"

He moved too fast, Liu Zhenliang wanted to grab it too late, and everyone watched for a while as Li Jian fell to the ground, and the blood under his body spread rapidly, dyeing the purple court clothes into deep black.

The visual impact brought by such a blood-spattered Xuanzheng Hall was so strong that many people didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and even the emperor himself was stunned. Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor! Child, Sixth, you ...... Sixth! ”

The entire hall was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood, and for a while, the entire Xuanzheng Hall was in chaos, and the emperor was holding Li Xian's corpse that gradually began to chill, and the old tears were all over the place. He didn't expect that the old six, who was so weak and angry, would be so fierce that he would not hesitate to use his life to clear his grievances with the East Palace.

Blood stained the bright yellow dragon robe, and his hands were covered with blood, and he was overwhelmed with grief. This is the son who accompanied him, it was these useless courtiers who killed his son and made him repeat the tragedy of the Suzong Dynasty back then!

However, at this time, no one dared to speak, nor did they dare to leave without permission, and a large number of people in the hall were pressed by the black, with different expressions, but they all stood silently like pillars, and they did not dare to come out.

The emperor's face was full of tears, and he trembled and ordered: "Master Hanlin, for me...... Impending Guilt ...... Last year, I visited the Six Princes' Mansion privately, accidentally spilled the tea, changed into a dragon robe, and never brought it back to the palace. I'm confused for a while, and it's all my fault that it affects the sixth child......"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

The people of King Shu's faction naturally knew very well that this was their carefully designed frame, no matter how Li Xian explained it at that time, as long as the suspicion of the saint was planted, it would be a good game of chess, and one day they would be able to find the last straw that broke the camel's back.

But they never expected that the East Palace would take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and directly sacrifice a prince to arouse the saint's guilt and remind the saint of the benefits of benevolence and tolerance.

At least, after a hundred years of sainthood, it seems easier to choose a benevolent prince to preserve the blood of the royal family, which is also very rare for a saint who is so strongly stimulated.

King Jianning, whom Li Xian mentioned on his deathbed, was the third son of Emperor Suzong, who was heroic, talented, and good at riding and shooting, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the Anshi Rebellion, and repelled the rebels many times. Because he was framed by Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi, he slandered him for wanting to kill his brother, so that Emperor Suzong listened to the slander and killed King Jianning.

Later, Emperor Suzong learned the truth and regretted it. Even when the first emperor ascended the throne, he could not let go, first posthumously as the king of Qi, and then posthumously as the emperor of Chengtian.

This incident had a great impact on both the Suzong and the first emperor, and the saint was already an adult at that time, and this matter was experienced by him, which is not profound.

Li Xian said that he was framed, and he had to die to prove his innocence, and compared himself to the king of Jianning, how could the saint not know who he was referring to!

He also said that the prince was loyal, benevolent and forgiving, which naturally meant that he was in the heart of the saint, and at this time, all the questions of King Shu's faction suddenly became ridiculous, but the prince and others neither argued for themselves, nor did they ridicule each other, but showed that they were really benevolent and lenient.

Nianyun lowered her head and embroidered a small belly pocket, but she didn't carelessly prick her finger with a needle, "Oops", and Fennel, who was arranging the thread for her, hurriedly put down the work in her hand, "Is Eleven Niang okay?" ”

Nian Yun shook his head, he was always a little absent-minded today, and his fingers had been pricked several times. She simply put down the embroidery in her hand, stood up and walked to the window, looked up at the leaden gray twilight clouds, and sighed softly.

There are three large copper basins in the ground, in which silver charcoal is burned, and thick cotton felt hangs on the door, which makes the whole house isolated from the outside world, and it is warm.

Fennel accompanied her to the window, saw her distracted, and asked hesitantly: "Is Eleven Niang still thinking about the county king, the slave maid saw that the county king did not go to the Ji family and the side hall in the past few days, and I still care about Eleven Niang in my heart......

Hearing her mention this topic, Nianyun seemed to have just remembered that Li Chun had an awkward affair with her, and her face was a little dazed. No, no, no, she wasn't distracted by this matter, she was thinking about the things in the court.

After the Huaiyuanfang dragon robe incident two days ago, the entire East Palace was worried about it. Zihou and their side hardly got any news, and Li Chun happened to have an awkward relationship with her, so naturally there was no way to know, she seemed to have become deaf and blind all of a sudden, and became more and more uneasy.

She guessed that Li Yi would definitely take advantage of this matter to make trouble, and the East Palace would not admit it easily.

The little maid outside suddenly ran in and reported: "Madam, madam, the king of the county is here!" ”

Fennel's face suddenly brightened, but he reprimanded: "The little hooves are getting more and more babbling, and the king of the county is naturally coming!" ”

Nian Yun still stood in front of the window and did not move, quietly watching Li Chun walk into sight from the broken ice ballast from the fine snowflakes, still wearing the official uniform of vermilion flowers, and the flaming red cloak on his shoulders was dyed with a layer of silver by the thin snow.

He walked into the main hall, Fennel greeted him and untied his cloak, he looked at Nianyun's back, and paused slightly. After a moment's silence, he walked behind her, bowed his head slightly, and his slender fingers gently stroked the plaster on her face.

The plaster was carefully cut into a crescent moon shape, with bead foil and mica, which made it even more charming.

Nian Yun turned her head slowly, and her skin touched his fingertips, only to feel that the fingers were cold and did not have any temperature.

"Does it hurt?"

She lifted her eyes, her eyes rippling, biting her lip and shaking her head gently.

He was in a depressed mood for a while that day, and he lost his temper at her, and the moment he walked out of Yiqiu Palace, he regretted it, and he knew that it must be Li Yi's trick with a little brain.

No matter how Nian Yun is, he will never have an ambiguous move with King Shu in front of Danfeng Gate in front of everyone's eyes.

But these days he has been busy with Yuan'er's affairs, and he doesn't have the time and energy to explain anything.

"Nianyun, I ......"

Nian Yun raised his hand and put his index finger on his lips: "Don't explain." ”

How could she not understand, and why did he bother to explain those truths to her, so he simply didn't listen.

He suddenly felt distressed, and in the past two days, he had wronged her. He grabbed her by the waist and held her tightly in his arms.

Nian Yun only felt that there was a cold aura exuding from him, which was different from the cold air brought by the simple cold weather, but a kind of coldness that came out of his bones, as if no matter how many braziers were born in the house, they couldn't warm him.

Nian Yun could feel his body trembling, and she had a sense of foreboding.
