Chapter Eighty-Five: Imprisoned
Regarding Si Jue's question, He Mengxi hesitated, and she glanced at Ling Zixu.
This time, Ling Zixu didn't look back at her, but he knelt there, obviously listening to her answer.
"Those big boxes, actually, ......"
He Mengxi glanced at Ling Zixu again: "Actually, I don't know where they went?" ”
"Why?" Si Jue asked.
"Because Ling Zixu carried those boxes away that night, and I don't know about this matter, and I don't know what they contained, now it seems that the boxes carried to Hecui Palace are just a cover."
Ling Zixu knelt motionless, and didn't seem to react, but He Mengxi noticed a slight tremor in his body.
"This is the evidence of the crime!" Si Jue shouted, "Ling Zixu, you still said that you didn't get any benefits, Chen Guo gave you several large boxes of gold and silver treasures, what is it, can this be worth a city?" What are you if you are not a traitor? ”
Si Jue pointed at Ling Zixu, shouting rampantly.
Si Chong sat upright above and frowned, he glanced at Ling Zixu and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
He Mengxi waited for her, she thought that if Ling Zixu accused her in turn, she would not admit it, and she would not know it, anyway, Chen Guo's cart of gold and silver had indeed entered the palace.
Unexpectedly, Ling Zixu shook his head without thinking, "There is nothing to say!" ”
Well, the Manchu civil and military exclaimed again.
Si Jue shouted: "Of course he has nothing to say, and these gold and silver treasures have been used by him to make weapons, how did his private and huge arsenal in the eastern suburbs come from, isn't it like this, making weapons privately is rebellion, what else does he have to quibble!" ”
"I didn't rebel, I built those weapons to prepare for the siege of the Tianmu Sect, they are just some bows and crossbows and iron nets, please check with Your Majesty!" Ling Zixu didn't look at Si Jue, knelt there and said.
"Verify? It has been verified, there are bows and crossbows, but only partially, and there are a large number of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and the evidence is ironclad, so you don't have to quibble. Si Jue sneered.
"I admit that the sword, gun, sword and halberd are not mine, I can't admit it, this is obviously someone who wants to frame me." Ling Zixu raised his head and said.
"Ling Zixu, from yesterday to now, you keep saying that someone has framed you, is it possible that so many people and so much evidence are framed?" Si Jue seemed impatient.
"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?" Ling Zixu said coldly.
"Desire to add sin? The evidence of your fornication with the country found in your house last night is also a crime that you want to add? Okay, what do you say about making a dragon robe privately? ”
"Privately made dragon robes? I didn't! Ling Zixu's face was incredible.
"No, yes, okay, get the incriminating evidence!" Si Jue waved his hand.
There were guards who presented a set of neatly stacked bright yellow robes, Si Jue picked it up and shook it open, sure enough, it was a dragon robe, a dragon embroidered with gold thread on the front body, and it was not majestic to open its teeth and claws.
Si Jue showed it to everyone, and the Manchu Dynasty had a lot of civil and military discussions, and it suddenly became a pot of porridge.
Si Chong asked in a deep voice, "Si Jue, where did this dragon robe come from!" ”
Si Jue put the dragon robe back and arched his hand: "Father Qi, this dragon robe was offered by the concubine of King Pingnan when he searched the mansion last night. ”
Yes? There was another exclamation, and the pot suddenly exploded above the court.
The daughters of King Pingnan are one by one, this is to put Ling Zixu to death, there are those who shake their heads and sigh, there are those who make sarcastic remarks, there are those who gloat, and there are those who frown.
At this time, a young man stood out from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, with a handsome and elegant appearance and a serious and solemn expression.
Si Chong straightened up and said coldly: "Tong Zhuangyuan, do you want to speak for Ling Zixu?" ”
It was Tong Tianyu, the new champion, who stood up, a young talent, and in just a few months, he was already a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
Tong Tianyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just thinks that this pile is one by one, looking at the evidence is conclusive, but it is too obvious, is King Pingnan a fool, if he wants to rebel, he will definitely do it very secretively, and it will definitely not be so full of loopholes, and he can get the handle casually, this matter is very strange, and I hope Your Majesty will investigate it carefully." ”
At this time, several older ministers came forward and echoed one after another.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Ling Zixu was raised by us, we all believe in whoever rebels, but he is unbelievable, and I hope that Your Majesty will look at General Ling Feichu in front of him, clear his grievances for him, don't wronged a good person."
As soon as the words fell, Si Jue was furious: "What, the evidence is so conclusive, you still say that he is a good person?" It's really unreasonable, I see that you old guys, relying on your previous military exploits, want to protect this thief, aren't you Ling Feichu's descendants, what, you still ......"
"Shut up!" Si Chong patted the dragon case and stopped Si Jue.
Si Jue shuddered in shock, immediately closed his mouth, and stood up.
"That's enough, this matter is over, Ling Zixu intends to rebel, remove all the powers of the military department, temporarily detain Xicheng Prison, and wait for the fate!"
Everyone was in a daze, and Si Chong had already stood up and walked away.
The palace people shouted in a long tone: "Scatter the ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and Ling Zixu was escorted down by the guards.
In the bustle, the Manchu Dynasty retreated.
When He Mengxi walked to the gate of the palace, a palace man came quickly and said: "The princess stays, the queen is invited!" ”
He Mengxi nodded: "I was about to go to see the queen mother, my maid and box at the gate of the palace are troublesome for you to send someone to pick them up!" ”
The palace man smiled: "Princess Bulao's instructions have been arranged." ”
Got it arranged? He Mengxi was puzzled, and at this time, Si Jue came over and bowed down.
"Thank you Princess Jinlin for your help, Si Jue is here to thank you!"
He Mengxi glanced at him and said coldly: "I'm not helping you!" ”
"Yes, yes, but thank you again!" Si Jue licked his face and laughed annoyingly.
He Mengxi waved his hand, turned around disdainfully, and walked towards the harem.
Seeing Qingmei from a distance, He Mengxi greeted him.
Her residence was next to Ning'an Palace, which was the residence of Empress Yao.
I went to see the queen mother first, Queen Yao was always indifferent, it seemed that she reluctantly got up to receive He Mengxi, greeted her with a few words on the surface, and designated a place to live, He Mengxi saw that she was wilting, and did not dare to disturb too much, so she quickly said goodbye and left.
met the enthusiastic and lively Princess Qiyue Si Yan at the gate of the palace, and the two greeted each other and greeted each other.
Si Yan said with a smile: "Congratulations on my sister's move, I'll go to greet my mother first, and I'll go to your place to congratulate you in a while!" ”
"Welcome, welcome, it's good now, I also said that when I arrived at the palace, I don't know you well, it's great to have you as a companion!" He Mengxi was full of smiles.
"Looking forward to my sister coming, the two of us live so closely, in the future, but we have a companion!"
The two exchanged pleasantries and broke up.
