Chapter 12 The Law of the King is the Law of the Royal
The Empress was also shocked.
On her way to the former dynasty, she had already preset many possibilities.
But she never thought that Song Hui's father would dare to spread everything out on the bright side.
Since ancient times, which minister has dared to say in full view that the emperor sent a killer to kill him?
The nature of the matter immediately became serious.
The British Duke frowned and said, "Lord Song, you said that Your Majesty wants to kill you?" ”
"Yes."
"Lord Song, as the secretary of Dali Temple, you should understand that without conclusive evidence, slandering the monarch will be beheaded." British Justice.
At the same time, he kept giving Song Hui's father a look.
In any case, he didn't want to see Song Hui's father break with the empress.
Song Hui's father was his former comrade-in-arms, and the empress was a wise monarch in his mind.
When these two people clash, he will be very embarrassed.
And if the contradictions between these two people are irreconcilable, he will inevitably be forced to take sides.
The British knew that he would definitely be on the side of the Empress.
Therefore, he didn't want to watch Song Hui's father break up with the empress.
But Song Hui's father did not accept his kindness.
He pushed the head forward, and said, "This is the head of Wu Ying, the deputy captain of the Plum Blossom Internal Guard, who wants to assassinate me." Dare to ask Your Majesty, who else in the whole world can instruct her besides you? ”
The hundred officials shook again.
There are many people who have just known that this head is the deputy captain of the plum blossom internal guard.
Some important ministers stared at this head and looked at it carefully, these people knew something about the plum blossom internal guard, and quickly confirmed that Song Hui's father was not lying.
At this moment, everyone panicked.
It is not a big deal for the emperor to kill a minister, and everyone is used to it.
But the emperor sent the plum blossom internal guard to kill the minister, and the nature immediately changed.
Ministers can accept that they are being imprisoned and examined, and they must not accept that they are secretly assassinated.
It's bad rules.
Even the attitude of the British Duke changed: "Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Why is the head of the deputy captain of the plum blossom internal guard in the hands of Lord Song? ”
The empress finally spoke: "I am also curious about this question, why my guards died at the hands of Song Aiqing. ”
"She wants to assassinate her minister."
The empress smiled: "Song Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you are a cultivator of the Three Realms, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Wu Ying is a great cultivator of the Six Realms, she wants to kill you, why did she die?"
As soon as the empress said this, everyone looked at Song Hui's father.
Song Hui's father frowned, and said with a straight face: "It's not the hand of the minister." ”
"Who's helping you?"
"Lao Bai, Your Majesty, you know."
The corners of the empress's mouth hooked: "Bai Xiaosheng, I remember that he is the Five Realms, and he has been seriously injured on the battlefield. Why, Lao Bai's strength has gone further over the years? ”
Even if his strength is further advanced, with Bai Xiaosheng's dark wounds on the battlefield in his early years and his old and frail body, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of the plum blossom internal guard who specializes in fighting.
The person who killed Wu Ying was not Bai Xiaosheng at all, but a master of the Tianxia Society.
But others don't know.
So, everyone looked at Song Hui's father with suspicion.
"Song Aiqing, have you seen Wu Ying want to assassinate you with your own eyes?"
Song Hui's father was silent for a moment, and then said astringently: "No." ”
"Then why do you know that Wu Ying is going to assassinate you?"
"Lao Bai told me, he won't lie to me."
The empress smiled: "Song Aiqing, you have to talk about evidence in the judgment of the case, and now that you don't have evidence, do you want to slander me?" Or did you do it on purpose? ”
In the end, the smile on the Empress's face disappeared, replaced by boundless anger: "The one who killed me still wants to pour dirty water on my head." Father Song Hui, you are so bold. ”
Song Hui's father was not silent.
Facing the pressure of the empress, Song Hui's father calmly looked at the empress: "Your Majesty, the world knows who the minister is." If you think that your ministers have bad intentions, you will underestimate your ministers and the subjects of the world. If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Some things have been done, and the truth cannot be concealed. ”
A cold light flashed in the empress's eyes: "Father Song Hui, what do you want to say?" ”
"The minister wants to say that it is not too late to make amends. Your Majesty, people make mistakes. As long as you sincerely repent, everyone in the world can forgive your mistakes. ”
Looking at the empress, Song Hui's father said word by word: "The minister implores Your Majesty to issue an edict for his own sin, apologize to the champion Hou, and apologize to those heroic souls who are not blind to death." If you do something wrong, you need to apologize. Perhaps, you apologize, and the champion Hou may forgive you. ”
What a childish idea.
What a childish act.
The empress just wanted to laugh when she heard this: "Father Song Hui, are you stunned?" Why do I apologize to Champion Hou? A fake letter, do you believe it to be true? ”
"That letter is not fake."
Although it is a patchwork.
The empress scoffed: "If I say it's fake, it must be fake." Father Song Hui, what evidence do you have to prove that I did what was written in that letter? ”
Song Hui's father was silent.
He really has no evidence at the moment.
"Without evidence, you dare to suspect me. Father Song Hui, have I been so good to you all these years that you have forgotten your humility? ”
"Your Majesty, as long as the evidence is checked, there will always be it, do you dare to let me check the Meihua internal guard?"
"Joke, the Plum Blossom Internal Guard is a guard directly under me, and you are not qualified to investigate the Plum Blossom Internal Guard."
"The head of the deputy captain of the plum blossom internal guard is in my hands, and you don't let me check the plum blossom internal guard. Your Majesty, how can you block the mouth of the world from covering up so much? ”
The empress smiled, she looked around the left and right, and said lightly: "Does anyone think that I should give Song Hui's father an explanation?" ”
The ministers looked at each other.
No one came forward.
Song Hui's father's heart sank to the bottom.
The empress looked at Song Hui's father with sneering eyes, and sneered: "Song Hui's father colluded with outsiders, brutally killed my guards, and tried to bite me back, and his crime should be punished." Come on, take him down, go to prison for review, I want to see what kind of bear's heart and leopard gall Song Hui's father ate, and he dared to slander me. ”
"Your Majesty thinks twice."
"Your Majesty, the minister believes in Lord Song's innocence."
"Your Majesty, Lord Song must be innocent, he is at most used by villains."
"Please Your Majesty, for the sake of Lord Song's past merits, give him a chance to be lenient."
Someone finally jumped out to intercede for Song Hui's father.
But it is only a plea.
What Song Hui's father asked for, they couldn't even think of.
The empress's gaze swept over these people who stood up, and she pondered for a moment, but decided to take a step back first: "For the sake of Zhu Aiqing's face, I will give Song Hui's father a chance to reform himself." Father Song Hui, tell me who is behind you, and I forgive you for your innocence. ”
Song Hui's father wanted to laugh.
And then he did.
The laughter was full of sarcasm.
The empress's face darkened: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I thought of what the marshal had said to me."
"What?"
"The royal law is the royal law."
The whole house is silent.
Only Song Hui's father's desolate laughter echoed in mid-air.
