Chapter 328: Redemption
What is the situation? How did Silver end up in Chen Guogong's Mansion? They knew Bai Yin through Shen Yafei, and Bai Yin went to treat King Ning, and they snatched the silver from King Ning to treat the queen. As a result, the queen left the capital after being cured, and since the queen left the capital, the queen's condition has become worse and worse, even worse than before asking silver to heal.
Obviously, Shen Yafei said that the silver had left the capital, and at that time, she, the queen, and the emperor sent many people to look for the silver, but they didn't find it. The silver that should have disappeared in the capital two years ago appeared in the Chen Guogong Mansion. Could it be that Chen Guogong has a relationship with Baiyin?
No, it's impossible! The only possibility is that this silver has a relationship with King Ning. That's right! It's related to King Ning!
When the Queen Mother thought of this, her face already showed disgust and anger. King Ning, hehe, good job!
"Mama Hui, you go and ask Gonggong Wu to call the emperor over." The Queen Mother's face was even more ugly than when she looked at the Queen just now, and the powerful aura on her body pressed everyone in the Fukang Palace who dared not speak out, including Mama Hui.
The Queen Mother's gloomy face lasted for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly the Queen Mother raised her head and spoke to Mama Hui. Mama Hui trembled, her body was agitated, she immediately tensed, stood up straight, looked at the Queen Mother cautiously and cautiously, and said, "Yes." β
After Mama Hui walked out of the palace quickly, the Queen Mother returned to her gloomy appearance just now. The palace maids who were waiting behind the Queen Mother didn't dare to breathe, and they shrank back as much as possible to reduce the Queen Mother's attention.
"Queen Mother, you call me." The emperor strode in, and saw the queen mother smiling at the corner of her mouth, looking at her lovingly, the emperor's hard face became soft, and his expression relaxed, just like the son of an ordinary family who wants to be spoiled to his mother.
Seeing the emperor's complete trust, the anger in the queen mother's heart disappeared a lot, and the smile on her face became more real. The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a smile, her tone was very calm, and she seemed to be doing a homely job: "The emperor has worked hard recently." β
"Mother, where are the words. I'm not hard, it's just some everyday things. The emperor also replied to the Queen Mother's concern as usual
"That's right." After the process of caring was completed, the Queen Mother began to introduce the emperor into the main topic, "How has King Ning's affairs been investigated recently?" Alas, the emperor must be very embarrassed about this matter, but the emperor must remember that there are no rules in the court, and this country can only last for a long time by relying on the love of the people. If King Ning really did something that went against the rules of the court and was sorry for the peopleΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The Queen Mother's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't go on
"Queen Mother, don't worry, I will let people find out about this matter, and I won't wronged King Ning." The emperor looked at the queen mother's black and white eyes, without a little splash, and said very seriously.
The emperor and the queen mother's mother and son have one heart, the queen mother speaks the meaning of the words, and the emperor can feel the queen mother's mind clearly as long as he looks at the queen mother's eyes.
"It's going to be fast. If King Ning was wronged, we can't let King Ning bear such a charge for too long, which is not good for King Ning's reputation. Moreover, we must also give an explanation to the people, and we must not chill the hearts of the people. The Queen Mother said earnestly.
"Yes, I understand. In the past few days, I have asked Lord Xiao to collect all the evidence and deal with King Ning's affairs as quickly as possible. After the emperor's eyes flashed a few times, he raised his head and looked directly at the queen mother, and after seeing the firmness in the queen mother's eyes, the emperor compromised.
"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction, "Then this time will be hard for the emperor." β
"It's not hard, I should do it." The emperor said.
"The emperor is tired from daily work, remember to let Yushangfang prepare more medicinal food for you, replenish your body, and don't break your body." The Queen Mother looked at the emperor softly and said.
The queen mother's concern is like the soft sunshine in winter, the emperor looked at the queen mother's eyes, and was able to indulge in such a mellow maternal love, the emperor said gratefully: "I must remember, the queen mother does not need to worry." β
"That's good, that's good." The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the emperor's obedience and nodded again and again.
"Lord Xiao, how is the investigation of King Ning's affairs?" The next day, as soon as he ascended to the court, the emperor began to care about the case of King Ning.
Lord Xiao walked to the front of the palace in three or two steps and knelt down towards the emperor, and said with an embarrassed face: "Back to the emperor, King Ning's affairs are a little difficult. β
Seeing that Lord Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, the curiosity in the emperor's heart made him itch in his heart, and his brows were twisted together unhappily: "Oh? What's the hard way? β
The emperor's tone had already indicated to everyone present that he was in a bad mood. Lord Xiao was shocked, and immediately lowered his head and body, and kowtowed twice. Just when Lord Xiao was about to raise his head to explain, the emperor was already impatient, and his cold eyes shot at the Lidi Wangye on the side: "Liwang Wang, the person you choose." β
The emperor's voice did not fluctuate without any fluctuations, but the atmosphere of the entire hall was like the tranquility on the eve of a thunderstorm.
However, there are people who are not so afraid of the emperor, so the prince took a step forward with a calm face, bowed respectfully, and then stood up straight, looked directly at the emperor's hands hanging on his thighs, and said, "Back to the emperor, this matter is no wonder Lord Xiao." Even if this matter is handed over to others, the others are in the same situation as Lord Xiao. Or maybe even Lord Xiao can't compare. β
"Huh? What's going on? The emperor furrowed his eyebrows and asked deeply.
"King Ning's matter is two-faced, and it is a very clear two-facedness, and the evidence of both sides is full. The younger brother also went to see it, and it was really difficult to determine whether the matter was true or false. Therefore, Brother Chen and Lord Xiao have not sorted out the truth of the matter until now. I really didn't dare to report such a result to the emperor. The prince replied with a sad face.
"How could this happen. Send more people and horses to Wuzhou to investigate the facts! "The distance in Wuzhou is really a bit far, if there is a polarization, it can only be a field trip, but from the capital to Wuzhou, and then back and forth, it will take a while. Seeing that there was no way to deal with King Ning in a short period of time, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Return to the emperor." Lord Lin suddenly jumped out and stood in front.
"Say!" The emperor glanced at Lord Lian.
"Here's the thing, I don't know how King Ning's matter reached the ears of the people in the capital, and now the people in the capital are panicking. Therefore, the minister suggested that King Ning be detained first. Wait until the matter is investigated clearly, and then make a decision. Lord Lin lowered his head and said.
"Hmmm..." The emperor nodded, seriously thinking about Lord Lin's suggestion.
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Lord Pi and Lord Xiao suddenly felt bad, and Lord Li's eyes flashed subtly, and they immediately recovered again.
"It's a good idea." The emperor agreed to Lord Lin's suggestion verbally, and then turned his gaze to Lord Xiao and asked, "What do Lord Li, and Lord Xiao think?" This matter is still left to Lord Li, Lord Xiao and Lord Xiao to decide. β
"This..." The emperor agreed, where did Prince Liye and Lord Xiao dare to refute, but, "But, this, the evidence is insufficient, is it appropriate?" β
King Pi originally wanted to say that such a statement would cause dissatisfaction among the generals under King Ning, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate to say so, so he changed his words. The intermittent words made people sound like he, the prince of thunder, was worried that it would shake the hearts of the army, and the emperor's brows widened slightly.
"Why is this not appropriate? In the past, when we tried criminals, we first locked up the prisoners, then collected evidence and witnesses, and finally judged whether the prisoner had committed a crime or not based on these evidence and witnesses. This is all a normal process, why is this not suitable for King Ning? The saints often said that the Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people. King Ning should not be treated differently because of this. Lord Lin said solemnly.
The prince also squinted his eyes and said, "Lord Lin, this is not right, King Ning has just solved the tricky Wuzhou, and as soon as he returns to the capital, he will be imprisoned by my mother, and besides, we have no conclusive evidence to imprison the heroes, which will definitely cause indignation." This king understands what kind of grudge King Ning has with Lord Lin, and why Lord Lin keeps saying that he wants to imprison King Ning. Lord Lin, is this going to block King Ning, or is he going to block this king? β
"You, Lord of the Thunderbolt, you are talking nonsense. We already had witnesses before, so how can we say that there is no conclusive evidence? Lord Lin was blushed by the last words of the Emperor of Li, and waited for the Lord of Li, angrily.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little tense and tense. The prince kept his head down on the side, did not make a sound from beginning to end, and the aura on his body was also very peaceful, just like an outsider.
Lord Lin confronted the prince of Li, but the prince stayed away, the emperor looked at the prince with a calm face, and suddenly felt dissatisfied in his heart, so when everyone was quiet, the emperor turned to ask the prince: "The prince is the closest person to King Ning, and he should know King Ning best." Does the crown prince think that King Ning's incident in Wuzhou is true or false? β
The crown prince didn't expect that he had weakened his sense of existence as much as possible, and the emperor was still unwilling to let him go. The crown prince took a step forward unhurriedly and waved his hand: "According to Erchen's understanding of King Ning, it is all a crime that Lord Lin has made in vain, and it is impossible for King Ning to do such a thing." King Ning is dedicated to the people, and he also does his best to guard the frontier, how could he do something to harm the people. Otherwise, Lord Xiao would not be able to find two kinds of real and extreme evidence. β
