Chapter 277: The Truth Comes Out
In the shocked eyes of the Lu family's father and son, Lu Jingyi slowly walked to the main hall and respectfully saluted the emperor, "Lu Jingyi, the eldest son of the foreign family of Caomin Honghe City, see the emperor!" ”
As soon as Lu Jingyi's words fell, he heard a burst of exclamation and sighing from the court, you must know that this person was said to be a person who had already died, and the murderer was standing next to him.
But how......
"It's kind of interesting." The emperor hooked his lips and smiled, and looked at Lu Jingyi under the seat, "I just heard that you died tragically at the hands of Deng Junqi, the daughter of the prime minister, what's the matter, can't you cheat the corpse?" ”
"It's not like that, the emperor." Lu Jingyi also laughed, but no matter how you look at this laugh, it has a kind of mocking flavor, he explained, "The minister was not killed by Deng Junqi, and the person who said this may be a thief shouting to catch a thief." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Lu family father and son next to him, and the mockery in his eyes was even stronger.
And at this moment, the father and son of the Lu family saw Lu Jingyi's expression more terrifying than seeing a ghost, and it was nothing more than falling from heaven to hell, they could even imagine what kind of ending they would usher in.
Lu Jingyi didn't care about them at all, looked at the emperor again, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, I think it is most fair for me to tell the truth of the matter, firstly, I am the Lu family, which is directly related to Deng Junqi's matter, and secondly, I am a victim and was almost killed, and I also want to bring the bad guys to justice." ”
The Emperor nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Lu Jingyi took a deep breath and began to state, "This matter also starts with my gambling habit and a lot of gambling debts, at that time, the family's money was in the shop, there was no cash, and by chance, the Lu family had a contact with the prime minister's wife, and we made a deal, as long as we can frame Deng Junqi for having an affair with a man, the prime minister's wife will help the Lu family repay this gambling debt, so I and Lu Yuanwai, together with the prime minister's wife, drugged Deng Junqi's meal, creating the illusion that he had an affair with me, so that the wife could drive her out." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was another sigh and talk in the court, isn't this just like Deng Junqi, saying that Lu Jingyi is the Lu family, and his words are stronger than any evidence.
Lu Jingyi paused and continued: "We agreed at the time that as long as I married Deng Junqi home smoothly, the prime minister's wife would give us the money, but I didn't want the princess to pass by Honghe City in the middle and mess up the wedding, I didn't marry, Deng Junqi tried her best to resist, plus I always seemed to see some strange things during that time, I was no longer used by the Lu family, Lu Yuanwai and Lu Jingye, that is, my father and my younger brother, jointly wanted to get rid of me, and then planted the blame on Deng Junqi, if it wasn't for Sinan's rescue, Today's events are left to them upside down! ”
Lu Jingyi's words made everything come to light, and the scene was full of exclamations, some said that it was pitiful for Deng Junqi and a girl to suffer from this, but it was more about the dirty behavior of the Lu family's father and son and the prime minister's wife.
The battle between the concubines in the palace is still continuous, not to mention the inner courtyard of the deep mansion, but these things are harmless to do in private, but when they are put on the table, they are a little ugly, let alone a place like the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But this is the court after all, and the officials don't dare to be too presumptuous, so it's more comfortable to talk about this kind of thing outside the palace, so after discussing it for a while, the court quieted down again.
"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Deng finally couldn't help it, he stepped forward and saluted the emperor, his tone was respectful and angry: "Although this matter is from the courtier's family, the minister did not take care of the housekeeping well, and the minister is not virtuous in marrying a wife, but such a vicious snake and scorpion hearted woman is really not worthy of being the prime minister's mother, this matter The minister wants to ask the emperor to be the master of the minister, and the two people of the Lu family must be severely punished, and Junqi will be fair!" ”
Listening to her father's words, Deng Junqi was also very surprised, you must know that she usually doesn't talk to her father, and there are few opportunities for each other to even meet, and she is just a concubine, raised in her aunt's yard, and she is destined to be suppressed by the main house in this life.
Deng Junqi never expected her father to look at her with her eyes open, but she was also very eager for her father's love.
For the sake of a concubine, it is impossible to divorce his wife, which is impossible for that official, but Prime Minister Deng, her father really did it in order to repay himself justice.
The emperor raised his eyebrows clearly, then looked at the Lu family father and son under the seat, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
In the face of the questioning of the Son of Heaven, from the beginning to the present, all the human and material evidence, as well as what they said, have become jokes.
With a plop, the father and son of the Lu family knelt down together, kowtowing vigorously, and admitting their mistakes: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, our father and son are also forced to do so, the lifeblood of our Lu family is in the hands of the prime minister's wife, if we don't listen to her words to frame Deng Junqi, our entire family will not end well!" ”
Lu Jingye's attitude was not as tough as just now, he knelt on the ground, crying and said: "Not only that, but today's evidence and physical evidence are all prepared by the prime minister's wife who invited our father and son to the inn early in the morning, she said that as long as we do what she said, she will definitely take care of our Lu family in the future, and if the matter is revealed, let us look good......"
The emperor watched the two of them talk with interest, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled very meaningfully: "It seems that the wife of the prime minister's family has a lot of power, and she can prosper according to a family outside the family, this is the first time I have heard of it." ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Prime Minister Deng immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The emperor spared his life, but the minister's housekeeper was not strict, and he actually produced such a wife who did not abide by women's morals, and the minister divorced her when he went back!" ”
The emperor's words were to beat the prime minister, telling him to abide by his duty and not to make mistakes and lose his proportions. The second is to beat the ministers, and if the prime minister is still like this, they should not challenge the majesty of the emperor.
That's a great move.
Sinan sighed below, now that the water has come out, she doesn't want to say anything else, after all, she is from another country, and it is better to interfere less in the affairs of the country of water, if it weren't for Feng Yuan by her side last night, it is really difficult to say whether she can get out of the way.
"I have no right to intervene in the affairs of your house, you decide for yourself whether to divorce your wife or not, as for these two people, ......" The emperor glanced at them and said casually: "Framed the family members of the powerful ministers, deliberately murdered and provoked, the crime was increased by one degree, demoted to slavery, and exiled to the border." ”
"Your Majesty!"
The father and son of the Lu family were like a bolt from the blue when they heard the news, although they had expected that this would be the result, but when the punishment really came, the two really couldn't accept it.
Obviously, the day before, it was a family of outsiders who were preparing to soar, but today they have become slaves exiled to the border, falling into the mud from the clouds, which is really chilling.
In the shouting of the two, the guards dragged the two out, and then the emperor looked at Lu Jingyi, "The Lu family will be in charge of the future in the future." ”
Lu Jingyi was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to say this, you must know that after Lu Xiao and Lu Jingye were exiled, the Lu family had no leader, and those previous divisions would definitely come over to get a piece of the pie, but he couldn't do anything, after all, he was still young.
But if the heir appointed by the emperor himself is different, no matter how much others say, who dares to disobey the emperor's will?!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Lu Jingyi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
The emperor looked tired, waved his hand casually and asked the people to disperse.
After the end of the early dynasty, Prime Minister Deng took the initiative to find Deng Junqi, and Sinan knew that the father and daughter had something to say, so he found a reason to slip away.
Deng Junqi and the prime minister left the palace and did not go home directly, but found a spacious teahouse to sit down.
The father and daughter usually don't see each other much, and it's a little unaccustomed to sitting on their knees like this suddenly, anyway, Deng Junqi feels quite embarrassed, and she doesn't know what to say for a while.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, but the prime minister spoke first, his voice was a little hoarse, and his voice was serious, as if these words had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Junqi, for so many years, Dad hasn't taken much care of you, do you blame Dad?"
Deng Junqi immediately shook her head and denied: "How can it be, Dad, I know that I am in a high position in the imperial court and is the emperor's important courtier, and I should be busy with political affairs at ordinary times, how can my daughter blame you for being so ignorant!" ”
