Chapter 178: A Shocking Secret
After Wei Lin threw the snake, seeing the lady taking Liu Yan to the house, Wei Lin went over and opened his lips several times.
An Ran saw that Wei Lin had something to say, so he pointed to an empty wing room to Liu Yan and said, "Yan'er, you take your younger brothers and sisters to that room to sleep, the quilts are all paved, just sleep." ”
Liu Yan looked at Wei Lin, and saw that Wei Lin's appearance didn't care about her, and she also had a little bit of a heart for touching people's hearts at a young age, so she didn't bother him and his wife, and he saluted An Ran and Wei Lin very obediently: "Yes, godmother, thank you godmother and godfather for taking you in." ”
After that, Liu Yan led her younger brothers and sisters into the wing.
An Ran saw Liu Yan go into the house to sleep, turned sideways and smiled at Wei Lin, and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”
Although An Ran knew what Wei Lin wanted to say to her, but Wei Lin wanted to speak, so let him say it.
Wei Lin frowned, "The snake...... It should have been Liu Yan who caught it herself to scare herself. ”
"yes, I know." An Ran nodded, "You want to say that Liu Yan, this kid, has a scheming heart, I shouldn't fall for her like this, right?" ”
Wei Lin snorted, in fact, he didn't agree with the lady accepting Liu Yan as a righteous daughter, they didn't have a daughter, his Lin Xue was so cute, his daughter couldn't hurt it, and he still had the heart to take care of other people's affairs.
And Liu Yan, this kid is full of scheming, and Wei Lin doesn't like it.
An Ran could see that Wei Lin didn't quite agree with her decision to accept Liu Yan as a righteous daughter, in fact, she was really aroused by Liu Yan's pitiful appearance at that time, and tonight saw Liu Yan playing tricks and winning her sympathy, to be honest, An Ran felt a little uncomfortable, but she was an adult, so she couldn't worry about a child because of a little thing.
"Although Liu Yan's child is a little scheming, I can also understand that she has nothing to rely on now, her mother Yu Guiping is so virtuous, and she has younger brothers and sisters to raise, how can she be a half-old child, and ......" An Ran sighed and did not hide it from Wei Lin: "I am afraid that this child has been ruined by Feng Yu." ”
Wei Lin frowned when he heard this, but did not speak.
An Ran's sigh became heavier, "Forget it, this child has a hard life, it's understandable to play a dim sum machine, take it in, it's not that our family can't afford to raise a few children, it's a big deal that I will design a few more sets of clothes from tomorrow, anyway, the road closure in the south has been lifted, and the second uncle is still waiting for me to change his clothes." ”
Wei Lin pursed his lips, glanced at Liu Yan's room, and led An Ran to Gu Yun and them for a drink.
The amount of sprinkling of these people was much worse than his, and they were only ten jars of wine, and they couldn't get up.
Beijing, Jifu!
Ji Lao hesitated with the letterhead, and wanted to light the letterhead several times, but returned it.
This is Wei Lin asked him to go to Du Mansion to find the letter, after he took the letter back, he saw that the letterhead was not sealed, and he looked at the content of it with curiosity, but he saw a shocking secret, Ji Lao knew that the content of the letter was very important, and even implicated the future trend of the court, so he wanted to destroy the letter, but after thinking about it carefully, this letter could not be destroyed, or he could use the content of this letter to blackmail His Royal Highness King Ling as the crown prince.
Thinking of this, Ji Lao put the letterhead back in his arms and decided that he would go to the emperor early tomorrow morning.
Since the emperor relieved Mr. Cui last time, he has returned to his previous extravagant life of eating, drinking, and pampering.
Seeing that the emperor and the concubines in the main hall were playing blindfolded to catch beauties, Cui Mao didn't want to disturb the emperor, and stood silently in a corner with a sad face.
Wei Lin fled back to the south, he didn't know how to report this matter to the emperor, and General Mo defected, and the two generals Liu Han had been incorporated by Wei Lin, and he didn't know how to tell the emperor about these things.
In fact, it doesn't help the emperor to know about it, except for anger, it can't solve any problems.
Cui Mao thought that the emperor would know about this sooner or later, and then he would persuade the emperor again.
On the second day, as soon as the emperor finished breakfast with a favorite concubine, the palace people came to report that Ji Zhongling wanted to meet the emperor in person.
The emperor was very annoyed by this person, and with a wave of his hand, he said: "No, who wants to see this old man and drive him out." ”
Cui Mao thought that Ji Lao must have come to the emperor for Wei Lin's matter, and it would be good to let the emperor know that he would discuss countermeasures one day earlier, although Wei Lin was ordered by the emperor to make a general order, but he was still a courtier of Pi State, and it was a big deal to change the content on the general to a misunderstanding, it was the county order of Nanyang Town that wanted to kill General Wei, and let him take the blame, and this matter was not irreparable.
"Your Majesty, Ji Zhongling is the head of the hundred officials after all, he must have come to meet the emperor for a big event, and the emperor should meet for the peace of the country." Cui Mao persuaded.
The emperor looked at Mr. Cui, Mr. Cui has always been considerate and sensible, not too annoying him, everything is based on him, Mr. Cui said to see, the emperor is not easy to refute him, although he is a little impatient, but he still agreed, and said to the palace man who reported: "See, see, let the old man come in." ”5599
The palace people were ordered to go out.
Ji Lao walked into the Yanyang Hall with steady steps, and his heart was a little flustered, but he was just invisible.
"See the emperor." Ji Lao salutes first.
"Get up, see me early in the morning, but I have something important to do?" The emperor can't wait for this season, and the old man will get out after speaking.
Ji Lao stabilized his mind and took out Cui Yan's letterhead from his arms, and said to the emperor: "Does the emperor know what is written in this letter?" ”
Cui Mao, who was very sharp-eyed, saw a few big characters on the letterhead and recognized Cui Yan's font at a glance, and couldn't help frowning, didn't Ji Lao come to the emperor to say that Wei Lin had returned to the south?
Cui Yan's matter?
Just when Cui Mao was wondering, the emperor on the throne spoke impatiently, "How do I know what is written in your hand, Old Man Ji, if you have anything, just play it quickly." ”
Ji Lao saw that the emperor even looked so annoyed by the Jin of a minister, so he shook his head, and was even more determined in his heart to help His Royal Highness King Ling ascend the throne, so he took out the content of the letterhead and said: "This letter was written by Cui Yan and General Wei, and it is about thirty years ago, doesn't the emperor want to explain it?" ”
"What do I explain? What happened thirty years ago? Thirty years ago, I was only nine years old, I remember. "The emperor has a bad premonition, "Old man Ji, if you have something to say, don't talk to me with a domineering look, I annoy you the most." ”
Why do these people stare at their noses when they give a little face? Will they never be able to put themselves in their place? Himself just one of his courtiers?
Ji Lao has no hope for this emperor in his heart, if he is allowed to let this emperor go down, the Pi country will die, since he is in power, then he will do everything to help the king Ling as the emperor of the Pi country, even if one day he is recorded in the history books that he is an unloyal minister in Ji life, for the sake of the people of Pi State, what about leaving an infamy?
"Thirty years ago, when the emperor was King Hui, did he ever go to the place where the students hid the papers and took away an examination paper named Lin Haoshizi?"
"No, you said it's been thirty years, how can I remember?" The emperor refused to admit it.
Ji Lao sneered and retorted: "The emperor answered so simply, and said that he didn't remember, wouldn't it contradict himself?" ”
"Hey, old man Ji, don't go too far, I'm the emperor, do you talk to the emperor like this?" The emperor was furious.
Ji Lao didn't look down on this emperor, even if the emperor was angry with thunder, he didn't move, and continued with a righteous spirit: "Cui Yan's letter said that Lin Hao was poisoned and Wei Guang's death was actually because the emperor burned Lin Hao's exam papers because he was greedy for fun, so you forced him to poison Lin Hao, for fear that your father would investigate, and the emperor simply came to cover up his mistakes, right?" ”
The emperor's face turned white, and he was told the truth by Old Man Ji, how could he still have a little dignity of the Son of Heaven, "Come on, come on, drag this old man Ji down and slaughter him!" ”
Seeing the chamberlain come in, Ji Lao said loudly without fear: "It's easy for the emperor to kill me, but can you still kill General Wei Linwei?" ”
"What do you mean?" The emperor was shocked.
"I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know yet, right? General Wei has been in the south for many days, if I die, who else in the court does the emperor think can order General Wei? If General Wei knew the truth in this letter, do you think he would have avenged his father and teacher against the emperor? ”
As soon as the emperor heard that Wei Lin was going to rebel, he was so frightened that he sat on the dragon chair, he knew in his heart that there was a hatred between him and Wei Lin to kill his father and kill his master, so he couldn't wait to kill him after using Wei Lin to bring down Cui Yan, who knew that Wei Lin was not dead, and let him escape back to the south, this is miserable, Cui Yan is not dead, Wei Lin is not dead, the emperor at this moment really thinks that Cui Mao is too useless.
I transferred so many people to him, but I didn't help him catch anyone.
But the emperor still had a little luck, Cui Mao in the main hall looked calm and not flustered, the emperor seemed to have found a little confidence and said: "Impossible, how could Wei Lin escape to the south?" I have sent 60,000 troops to guard the southern border, as long as he dares to appear, my 60,000 troops will definitely take him down, Old Man Ji, you are a traitor, I can't spare you. ”
Ji Lao still cares if the emperor can spare him at this time? Turning his head to Cui Mao, he sneered and said, "Chief Cui, you helped the emperor arrest General Wei, I'm afraid you knew that General Wei had fled back to the southern border before me, right?" How? Didn't you tell the emperor? Not only did General Wei's family flee back to the south safely, but even General Mo sent by the emperor had defected and established himself as king, and the two generals Liu and Han had now taken refuge in General Wei. ”
Cui Mao looked at Ji Lao resentfully, and wanted to say, if it weren't for the families of your veteran generals Liu Han and the two generals sent out of the capital, how could the two generals Liu Han take refuge in Wei Lin?
But the incident had happened, and Cui Mao couldn't get it back, so he asked for the emperor: "Ji Lao has said so much, why don't you directly put forward the words in your heart?" ”
"I still talk to Mr. Cui happily, and I can see through my Ji Mou's purpose at a glance, yes, the reason why Ji Mou came to meet the emperor with Cui Yan's letter to General Wei is that he has only one purpose, that is, he hopes that the emperor will make His Royal Highness King Ling the crown prince!" Ji Lao said the purpose of this trip awe-inspiringly.
"Impossible!" The emperor overturned the table angrily, pointed at Ji Shengping and scolded: "Thief ear, you dare to force the palace? What a bold man! ”
