Chapter 245
Rao is Liang Huanqing, I didn't know that Qin Yuandao still hid such a hand, so I thought that the case was evidence, when Lu Huiling said this, Liang Huanqing was almost choked by her words, I thought that everything was here, and they should admit their guilt, but I didn't expect Lu Huiling to be dying and struggling here again, Liang Huanqing was ready to argue with her, Qin Yuandao said this sentence is really a relief in the snow.
Hearing Qin Yuandao say this, everyone was curious about who Qin Yuandao said would be the person who could make Yin Zhi and Lu Huiling confess.
Lu Huiling didn't know who this person was, and when he heard what Qin Yuandao said so mysteriously, he couldn't help but choke and said: "Lord Qin is pretending to be here again, you can change the case, naturally any evidence can be done, these evidences are all from you, how can you make the emperor trust?" Moreover, at this time, it is not trivial, Lord Qin still has to be cautious in his words and deeds. ”
Just now for the case to be changed, many people are naturally skeptical, not everyone is as careful as Qin Yuandao, but when I heard Concubine Ming's words, and thought that Lu Gaohong and Liang Fengmian were now supporting two different princes, if Liang Huanqing did it intentionally, it was also possible to let Qin Yuandao make false testimony, this officialdom was treacherous, and for a while, everyone kept turning back and forth with their thoughts, but they didn't know who was true and who was fake.
But Yin Zhi's heart is bright and mirror-like at this time, when she heard Qin Yuandao say that she came back from Jingzhou, she thought that they might be looking for their father Yin Renzhao, although Yin Renzhao has now made a heinous mistake and disgraced the Yin family, but in Yin Zhi's heart, Yin Renzhao is still the kind and kind father when she left home eight years ago, Yin Renzhao taught Yin Zhi to understand etiquette and etiquette since childhood, and taught her to read and write. It's not worse than the official lady in Beijing.
At this point, Yin Zhi is forever grateful to his father for cultivating him, and now he has not been together well for many years, but when he sees him again, he has committed such a crime, which will affect the Yin family and the nine clans, but Yin Zhi has no face to face his father for a while.
She looked at Qin Yuandao, her eyes were full of pleading, and she muttered, "Don't..."
But all the people in the Qinzheng Palace, no one looked at Yin Zhi, she leaned down weakly, buried her head deeply, and while facing her father without a face, Yin Zhi didn't realize that she was actually one of the victims of this matter, she thought that in the eyes of her father, she would always be a child who had not grown up, and if she made a mistake, she would be punished.
Qin Yuandao ignored Lu Huiling, looked straight at the emperor with his eyes, and said: "This person is outside the Qinzheng Palace, if the emperor agrees, Weichen will call him in." ”
Qi Bingyu's brows didn't stretch for a moment today, he still had a serious face, and nodded: "Pass him in." ”
Qin Yuandao nodded, and said to He Sheng: "I'm still bothering Director He to deliver the report on his behalf, as long as Yin Renzhao comes in." ”
The corpses of Fang Lu and the palace maid outside the door are the secret weapons that will hit Lu Gaohong's face next, if they are presented in front of everyone early, they will not lose the battle.
Qin Yuandao looked full of confidence, and everyone didn't think much about his words, maybe it was the subordinates around him.
He Sheng nodded, then walked around the crowd and walked out along the root of the wall.
Lu Huiling still hasn't realized that he is in trouble, and he still looks like no one is in his eyes, but Qi Bingyu has already known in his heart at this time, in the face of Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong's evil deeds, there is no need for any evidence to be presented, Qi Bingyu actually has a clear idea in his heart.
This time it's just to see that the two of them are still obsessed and unchangeable, and want to give them an explanation in front of the courtiers, if they are condemned just by relying on Qin Yuandao and Liang Huanqing's words, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince some officials, and Qi Bingyu doesn't want people to mistakenly think that he is biased towards Qi Jingqin, although in his heart he will also favor Qi Jingqin...
Everyone said that Qi Bingyu was old and frail, and became mediocre and incompetent, and everything depended on Lu Gaohong and Liang Fengmian, but Qi Bingyu was not blind, although he was blinded by Lu Gaohong for a while, his heart was not blind.
Lu Gaohong obviously knew this, looking at the emperor's wordless appearance, he couldn't help but think of the past when the affairs of the court were not so heavy, Lu Gaohong would always enter the palace and talk to the emperor in the back garden of Yaochi, whenever he saw that Lu Gaohong was about to beat the emperor, the emperor was always so calm and calm, and later Lu Gaohong knew that the emperor had already penetrated all his thoughts, and he could hide it from him for a while, but there was no way to hide it from him forever.
At that time, the emperor was as calm and calm as in front of him, only frowning slightly, but he had already seen himself clearly between his eyebrows.
Lu Gaohong felt a little trembling in his heart, he never thought that he would see the emperor's eyes again on such an occasion.
However, Lu Huiling obviously didn't understand the emperor, she looked at the emperor's silent appearance, and thought that everything had room for maneuver, and her heart was full of expectations, and now she still thinks that why the people are cheering today is because Qi Jingqin will attack Daliang in one fell swoop after the year, and the day when Qi Jingqin returns to the dynasty in triumph is not far away...
Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, today's Chinese New Year's Eve feast, at this time, they should have climbed the bird tower with the emperor to enjoy the lanterns and watch the fireworks, and shared a moment of family fun with their families, but they never thought that today's events would be so sudden...
Yin Zhi knelt in the main hall, her hands were on her knees, her head hung very low, she was trembling, repenting, how could she do such a thing, destroy the opportunity for everyone to share the joy of family, but if she didn't do it, how could she keep her family safe, how could she let herself survive in obscurity in the palace for decades?
Xia Rongxin turned her face slightly sideways and looked at Yin Zhi who was trembling and crying, in just over a month of getting along, Xia Rongxin also rarely believed her, it was really because Yin Zhi was simple-minded and straightforward, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a heinous person, Xia Rongxin now believed what Liang Huanqing said, Yin Zhi was coerced by Lu Huiling, so it seems that when I think back to Yin Zhi's wild words, what he said is not what he has been silent for many years.
Looking back at the palace, how many such women are there, they entered the palace at the most beautiful age, Ben Qiji can bring glory to the family, can add nobility to the royal family of the Celestial Empire, in fact, there are very few people who are happy in the end...
At this time, it is the time when the merchants of the palace outside the city spontaneously set off fireworks, and the palace can naturally see the bright sky, how many ladies in the palace are standing in the courtyard looking at the sky and watching, thinking about the days of their daughter's house in the past, that is called a happy life.
Now even if it is Xia Rongxin, the position has achieved the position of deputy queen, but she still feels that in the past, outside the palace, the days of being the eldest lady of the Qinhuai capital family were comfortable, and now everyone is not the life that Xia Rongxin wants at all.
The fireworks outside the palace shook the sky, and they could be heard in the palace, and the colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, Liang Huanqing raised his head, silently missing Liang Fengmian and Qi Jingqin who were far away outside the palace at this time, and Yang Suying, who was sleeping forever in the side of the fortress...
For a while, everyone looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky outside the door, He Sheng's father-in-law walked out, looked at the people standing under the steps, standing in the twilight of the university, and suddenly understood what Qin Yuandao said, following the emperor for several years, He Sheng understood and did not speak.
At this time, fireworks bloomed in the sky again, and Wei Shen, Qin Ruilan, Yin Renzhao and others under the steps couldn't help but look up.
Yin Renzhao looked up at the fireworks above the Fang City in Shangjing City at this time, as if he could really hear the cheers of the people in the Fang City, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smiled, in the past, when he was in Beijing, he was blinded by fame and fortune, and he had never paid attention to these, but now it was too late, he thought of countless ways to see his daughter again, but never thought that there would be such a day, he wanted to admit his mistake to the emperor, and told the emperor that all this was because of him, as a father, he wanted to use this unrealistic, Love your daughter again in a thousand-for-eight-hundred.
No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, there is a curtain call, and soon, the fireworks are over, He Sheng felt a lot, and his eyes were a little moist, but he had something to do, so he couldn't delay, so he quickly pinched the corner of his clothes and wiped his eyes, and then looked at Yin Renzhao under the steps.
Yin Renzhao was also slowly looking away at this time, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of He Sheng standing on the steps, and the eyes of the two met together, in fact, Yin Renzhao had already understood what He Sheng was doing at this time, Rao was making some psychological preparations in advance, but when he really wanted to go up to explain all this, there was still a trace of apprehension in his heart.
He Sheng saw that Yin Renzhao saw him, so he slowly walked down the steps, Wei Shen looked at Yin Renzhao in the direction of He Sheng's eyes, Yin Renzhao was not in a hurry, and there was still a trace of literati on his body.
When He Sheng walked up, Yin Renzhao raised his hand and saluted: "Manager He." ”
He Sheng was slightly stunned, in fact, he didn't expect Yin Renzhao to be so calm at all, but he still raised his hand to return the salute and said, "Lord Yin, the emperor has invited you to meet you." ”
"The manager is polite, the grass people have already been demoted and returned home."
Yin Renzhao said with a hint of humility and politeness, this made He Sheng not know how to reply, had to turn around and go to the Qinzheng Hall, before leaving, he got closer to see that this Wei Shen was still followed by Fang Lu, and now I don't know why, He Shengquan didn't see anything, just to do his own thing, but don't think about it, Lu Gaohong is afraid that he can't survive this Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although He Sheng did not feel sorry for Lu Gaohong in his heart, His Royal Highness the Prince, as the emperor's own son, was also seen by He Sheng since he was a child, and on the night of Empress Mingxian's death, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was by his side, at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a clear and clear young man who had just been approved to enter the court to listen, but he made him clearly and clearly watch his mother die depressed, He Sheng felt distressed when he thought of this.
Later, Qi Jingyang indulged himself, and the emperor naturally wanted to blame the prince on the surface, and scolded the prince's prince and the prince's master all the bloody, but in private, only He Sheng knew that the emperor was quietly feeling self-blame, and always felt that he couldn't live with the prince, and he was sorry for the Empress Mingxian who accompanied him from the East Palace to the throne.
It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not cherish the emperor's unique patience with him, and indulged himself again and again.
He Sheng knew that Lu Gaohong couldn't escape this catastrophe today, but he only pity His Royal Highness the Prince, from now on, only he will find a way out for himself, if Qi Jingqin ascends the throne, Qi Jingqin is willing to let him go, and Concubine Mei Guifei must definitely not let go of the prince for the sake of Empress Mingxian.
He Sheng knows that Xia Rongxin is by no means as benevolent as she seems on the surface, and if she can stand out in the harem, she must be a vicious character.
Yin Renzhao followed He Sheng step by step to the Qinzheng Palace, crossed the high threshold, and when he stepped into the Qinzheng Hall with one foot and made a sound, everyone turned to look at him, and Qi Bingyu, who was sitting in the center, frowned slightly.
Only Lu Gaohong and Yin Zhi did not look back.
The former is because of his weak heart and knows what Yin Renzhao's arrival means; The latter was because he was uneasy and had no face to face his father.
Lu Huiling looked back at Yin Renzhao, and then suddenly remembered some of the relationships, and then she reacted, why did Qin Yuandao go all the way to Jingzhou to find Yin Renzhao back, Yao remembered that at that time, they didn't tell Yin Renzhao how Yin Zhi would find them for help, and after Qin Yuandao saw all this, he told Yin Renzhao, so there was a situation where Yin Renzhao would go to court with Lu Gaohong.
Lu Huiling thought like this, but he hurriedly turned his head and didn't dare to look at Yin Renzhao.
Liang Huanqing and Liang Lin Qin Yuandao couldn't help but hook the corners of their mouths when they saw Yin Renzhao walking in, everything was in their hands, look at the human and material evidence, what else did Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling have to say!
The courtiers saw Yin Renzhao come in, and some officials who had worked with Lu Gaohong lowered their heads one after another, they were not stupid, they could probably guess that Lu Gaohong was in a catastrophe today, and they all wondered if they had anything to do with this matter, if not, then everything had room for maneuver.
What they didn't know was that Qin Yuandao and Liang Lin not only wanted to sweep away the cancer of the imperial court like Lu Gaohong, but also brought Fang Lu today to use this matter to clear the officialdom.
But the most important thing at the moment is to bring the culprits behind the feast to justice.
He Sheng stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Yin Renzhao brought it." ”
Qi Bingyu naturally saw it.
Yin Renzhao has been staring at Yin Zhi's figure since he entered the Qinzheng Palace, his eyes have been staring at Yin Zhi's figure and not leaving, he recalled what Qin Yuandao said when he was in Jingzhou, and he felt guilty for his daughter Yin Zhi from the bottom of his heart, and now he saw her kneeling in the center of the hall as a criminal, and when everyone looked back at themselves, only Yin Zhi forcibly resisted the desire to turn back, Yin Renzhao knew in his heart that his daughter didn't want him to see her like this now, and Yin Renzhao now knew that his daughter Yin Zhi, a good daughter who grew up in the palm of her hand, In fact, life in the palace is not easy.
Thinking like this, Yin Renzhao couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, how could he still have a father who had the face to be a man, and he would make matters worse when his daughter was at her most difficult.
When Yin Zhi listened to Yin Renzhao's footsteps and slowly approached her, her body kept dodging to the side, she lowered her head, and tears fell down...
Yin Renzhao withdrew his eyes, but in fact, his eyes were already red, he bowed his head and knelt down, and raised his hands in front of his forehead: "Yin Renzhao, a grass man, greets the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
At this time, Yin Renzhao, after being deprived of the brocade hat official feather, could only call himself a "grass people".
Qin Yuandao also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the witness Yin Renzhao that Weichen brought back from Jingzhou. He was able to prove that the case had indeed been revised, and that it was committed by Prime Minister Lu's family. I think it is as Princess Jing said, Concubine Ming and Prime Minister Lu Cheng secretly colluded, and the inside and outside should be together, which made the nobles willingly lurk beside Concubine Mei for Concubine Ming, so as to make a stumbling block and destroy the feast, and at the same time explained why the target of the feather arrow at that time was Princess Wangshu and Princess Jing..."
Qin Yuandao did not continue to say it explicitly, in fact, everyone knows all this, if it is really done by the nobles, then the objects and spearheads of this feast are all directed at Concubine Mei, Princess Wangshu, and Princess Jing, these people have a lot to do with Prince Jing, there is no need for the nobles to do this, the only possibility is to do things for Lu Huiling, and Lu Huiling has 110,000 reasons to kill Liang Huanqing.
When Qin Yuandao finished speaking, Lu Huiling's eyes were obviously a little panicked, and when she raised her head and was about to explain to the emperor, the emperor did not give her this opportunity, but looked at Yin Renzhao and asked sharply, "Is this indeed the case?" ”
Yin Renzhao knew that the emperor was interrogating him, so he lowered his head and said, "If you go back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." At that time, the criminals were obsessed, betrayed the emperor's trust, embezzled a huge amount of money to make up for the gambling debts they owed, and then the East Window incident occurred, and the criminals asked someone to send a letter to the nobles in the palace... At that time, in order to save the sinners, the nobleman privately sold the only valuable thing around him, but he still couldn't make up for the shortfall... But the sinners didn't know that the nobles were in a difficult situation, and they still forced the nobles... Then Concubine Ming found the nobleman and said that she could... If you can save the sinners for the noble, as long as the nobleman can listen to her..."
Yin Renzhao thought about everything at the bottom of the steps at that time, and now he can still think of the humble appearance when he let his daughter whisper and beg for help because of his own incompetence, he cried silently as he spoke: "Then Prime Minister Lu Cheng found the sinner, saying that the sinner has a good daughter... At that time, the sinners were so confused that they didn't know that it was the nobles who were trying to save me... If I had known it for a long time... If I had known it for a long time... Your Majesty, all the mistakes are the fault of the sinners, and the sinners deserve death, please be magnanimous and spare the nobles..."
Hearing this, in fact, Lu Gaohong's heart was already dead, and he didn't dare to look up at Qi Bingyu's expression anymore, he didn't need to look at him to know that at this time, the emperor was eager to break his body into pieces.
A white jade inkstone smashed down from Qi Bingyu's hand and smashed straight in front of Yin Renzhao's forehead, and then Qi Bingyu pointed at him and said, "You naturally deserve death!" ”
Yin Renzhao's forehead suddenly flowed with blood, Yin Zhi saw it, and hurriedly crawled over to support Yin Renzhao, his already pure face was already full of tears.
She supported Yin Renzhao, watching her father's forehead being smashed by the inkstone and bleeding, feeling distressed and guilty in her heart, she looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, all this is the fault of the concubine, if you want to punish the concubine, punish the concubine... Your Majesty..."
Qi Bingyu didn't know what to say at this time, Yin Renzhao was innocent of his death, but Yin Zhi was really flattered by a traitor to build a monstrous disaster, and the culprits were Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong's father and daughter.
