Chapter 300: Grievances and Snow
Lu Xuan came to the cabinet again to visit Yue Lanchen, and as soon as they met, he took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms and handed it to him: "I don't know if Lord Yue knows the people on this list?" ”
Yue Lanchen took the paper and thought about it carefully before he vaguely had some memories: "Aren't these the few adults who served in the cabinet more than ten years ago?" How did Governor Lu know them? ”
Seeing that Yue Lanchen really recognized these people, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked him, "Does Lord Yue know where these people are now?" ”
But at this time, Yue Lanchen shook his head: "I don't know this, after all, after so many years, I really have no contact with them, but why would Governor Lu inquire about them?" ”
Lu Xuan showed a look of loss on his face, but he still responded to Yue Lanchen: "These people are related to my father's case, and they planned to frame my father back then. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yue Lanchen immediately came to his senses: "What? It was a cabinet colleague who framed Lord Lu back then? ”
Being reminded by Lu Xuan like this, Yue Lanchen thought of something, and then looked at a certain name on the list: "Mu ...... This surname is extremely rare, if I remember correctly, the original scholar of the Jianji Temple was surnamed Mu. ”
This is undoubtedly a valuable clue, and Lu Xuan hurriedly asked: "What was the relationship between that scholar of the Jianji Temple and his father back then?" ”
I saw Yue Lanchen sigh: "Where will there be anything good in the officialdom, Lord Lu was the head of the cabinet scholars back then, and the scholars of the Jianji Palace were second only to him, most of them were also ambitious, I vaguely remember that he seemed to have asked about the treasure map back then." ”
"Treasure map? Could it really be that as His Highness said, the two cases are fundamentally closely related? Lu Xuan secretly thought to herself, after such a long time of investigation, she felt more and more that the treasure map overlapped with the case that Lu Yan was wronged back then.
Listening to Yue Lanchen at this moment, she couldn't help but suspect that this was the same case at all, if this was the case, as long as Lu Yan was wronged back then, the matter of the treasure map would naturally be able to be handed over to Emperor Liang Qin.
It's just that Yue Lanchen doesn't know the whereabouts of these people, so he can only rely on Lin Wei if he thinks about it.
Lu Xuan said goodbye to Yue Lanchen at this time, and since he had determined that the list was all cabinet members, he would have to save himself from having to go to the household department again.
Although Lu Xuan didn't ask for any useful information here, fortunately, the efficiency of the secret guards of the Fierce King's Mansion was really high, and she saw Qin Xiao waiting here as soon as she left the door of the cabinet.
"Escort Qin? How did you end up here? Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, and Qin Xiao spoke: "His Royal Highness sent his subordinates to invite Lord Lu into the palace." ”
"Entering the palace? But what's the point? Lu Xuan was puzzled, and Qin Wei explained: "The person Lord Lu wants has been found, and at this moment, His Royal Highness has personally led five people to face the saint." ”
"So fast, but I don't have any evidence, is it too hasty to bring someone to the Holy Meeting?" Lu Xuan always thought that Gu Huanli was not an impulsive person, but this time he was too impatient.
Qin Wei didn't say much, but said that His Royal Highness had his own way.
Although Lu Xuan was helpless in her heart, Gu Huanli had already led someone to Emperor Liang Qin, and it was too late to stop her at this time, so she could only obediently follow Qin Xiao over.
The cabinet is closer to the palace, so Lu Xuan arrived at the palace gate before Gu Huanli, and when she saw his sedan chair coming from a distance, she hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness, why did you enter the palace to face the saint, we have no evidence, will Your Majesty believe it?" ”
Gu Huanli looked indifferent: "Who said that this king has no evidence?" You don't have to worry, just go in with this king. ”
It's all here, and there is no way back, so Lu Xuan has no choice but to follow behind Gu Huanli.
In a short time, Emperor Liang Qin has summoned hundreds of officials to wait in the Jinluan Palace, because the matter of the treasure map is related to the national fortune and people's livelihood, everyone in the court and China attaches great importance to it and attends one after another.
In the main hall, Emperor Liang Qin sat high, and Gu Huanli was different from the past, who Lu Xuan was standing under the hall together.
"I heard that the Murder King found the person who secretly hid the treasure map back then?" Emperor Liang Qin asked Gu Huanli, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised: The person who secretly hid the treasure map, isn't that Lord Yue?
If he hadn't understood Gu Huanli's personality, Lu Xuan would have really confessed Yue Lanchen in a hurry.
"That's true, it's just that in the process of investigating this case, the younger brother also discovered an old matter, and maybe the imperial brother needs to make another decision." Gu Huanli said so, Lu Xuan could probably guess what was going on.
Emperor Liang Qin immediately nodded: "The fierce king, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Brother Huang, do you still remember Lu Yan, a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, who bent the law for personal gain?" Gu Huanli first tried to Emperor Liang Qin.
Emperor Liang Qin's face immediately turned pale, and he glanced at Lu Xuan before responding: "It's just a scum among officials, I am kind-hearted and amnesty to the world, what else does the murderous king mention him?" ”
These words really made Lu Xuan's heart sting fiercely, although Gu Huanli didn't look at her expression, but he also knew that she must be uncomfortable in her heart at this time, so she hurriedly explained to Emperor Liang Qin: Zilang literature
"What the younger brother wants to mention recently is this old case, according to Emperor Chen's investigation, Lord Lu's favoritism was framed by people with ulterior motives, and the purpose is to blame Lord Lu for the private treasure map."
At that time, it was rumored that the treasure map fell into the hands of the Lu family, but later Emperor Liang Qin sent people to look for it but did not find it.
"You said that he was framed, what is the explanation for the 10,000 taels of gold in the treasury?" Emperor Liang Qin asked Gu Huanli.
Gu Huanli then spoke behind him: "Bring people in." ”
After a while, I saw a person dressed in cloth and over half a hundred years old being escorted in by the Royal Forest Army, and he looked a little familiar.
Soon someone recognized him: "Isn't this Lord Mu of the Jianji Hall University back then?" I haven't seen it for many years, how can I get mixed up in such a field now? ”
Hearing the discussion of the civil and military officials, Emperor Liang Qin gradually recalled, and then asked Gu Huanli: "What does the fierce king mean?" ”
Gu Huanli responded: "This person is the one who masterminded Lord Lu in the first place, and the treasure map was also found in his mansion." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was shocked, the treasure map was clearly obtained from Yue Lanchen, when did it arrive at his mansion?
However, Lu Xuan probably didn't understand Gu Huanli's style of doing things, in his opinion, one more crime and one less crime are capital crimes, and there is no difference, plus this person did frame Lu Yan, and putting this charge on him should be all revenge.
It's just that Gu Huanli's actions shocked Lu Xuan even more in the next second, only to see him take out a yellowed cloth from his arms: "This is the treasure map of the military plane that Your Majesty has been looking for for a long time, and it was found by Lu Xuan." ”
Lu Xuan did find the treasure map, but he didn't want to give it to Emperor Liang Qin, if Emperor Liang Qin used this treasure map to deal with Gu Huanli, what should he do?
But now the situation has reached the point where it is out of control, and Lu Xuan really can't say anything, so he can only watch the treasure map fall into the hands of Emperor Liang Qin.
After receiving the ancestral relics he dreamed of, Emperor Liang Qin was overjoyed in his heart, and for a while, he didn't care about any evidence or evidence, and immediately gave Lu Xuan a credit.
It's just that it was too hasty to overturn the case for Lu Yan's favoritism, so Emperor Liang Qin put away the treasure map and looked at Lu Xuan:
"I know that Lu Yan is your father, and you must not want him to bear the infamy, but this matter cannot be clarified in a few words, and it is still necessary to show evidence."
It seems that the treasure map is not enough for Emperor Liang Qin to open up to Lu Yanwang, and in desperation, Gu Huanli has no choice but to move out.
After a while, he saw that the head of the household department stepped forward, and before everyone could react, he knelt down towards Emperor Liang Qin: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Seeing this, Lu Xuan and Chen Weizhi invariably showed a worried look on their faces, they never thought that the Hubu Shangshu would take the initiative to stand up in front of the civil and military officials.
Emperor Liang Qin was even more confused: "What is Aiqing's crime?" ”
Hubu Shangshu raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Xuan, and then explained: "The loss of gold in the treasury back then was the negligence of the minister, and Lord Lu was framed by traitors because of the minister, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”
The head of the household department Shangshu 1510 detailed the incident in front of the civil and military officials, Emperor Liang Qin became more and more annoyed when he heard it, and Gu Huanli also took the opportunity to escort the other four people on the list to the palace.
"This is the person who participated in the rebellion back then, and the younger brother has already sent the person to the criminal department for trial, and all of them have pleaded guilty and been detained, and the royal brother has been asked to adjudicate." Gu Huanli said, but how could he have time to interrogate in such a short time? Probably just using his usual methods.
Knowing the truth of the matter, Emperor Liang Qin was instantly furious: "You and others are plotting rebellion and framing loyalty, you really deserve death!" ”
As soon as he said that, there were immediately begging for mercy in the court, and all the civil and military officials reprimanded him, and Emperor Liang Qin directly ordered him to be beheaded.
Then he looked at Lu Xuan: "I was deceived by a traitor and mistakenly killed a loyal minister, as a descendant of the Lu family, you have made a merit in finding the relics of your ancestors this time, and if you want any reward, I will definitely satisfy you." ”
At this point, Lu Xuan didn't want anything, and after thinking for a while, she spoke: "Your Majesty can avenge her father's grievances, Lu Xuan is grateful, and there is only one thing to ask for at this time, please forgive Your Majesty Lord Hubu Shangshu." ”
Emperor Liang Qin was stunned when he heard this: "I want to reward you, how can you intercede for others?" ”
"Lu knows very well that Lord Shangshu was an unintentional mistake back then, Your Majesty is magnanimous, please read for the sake of the above-mentioned lord's loyalty to the court for many years, and forgive him for his mistakes back then." In order to show his sincerity, Lu Xuan also deliberately knelt down to Emperor Liang Qin.
At that time, Hubu Shangshu was simply moved when he stood aside, because his mistake caused Lu Yan to lose his life, but Lu Xuan not only blamed him, but also interceded for him with the opportunity he had earned with his merits.
