Chapter 42: Xiao Yixing's assassination

Yongtai eleven years!

With the princes and kings of all walks of life, generals from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another, and the capital has become more and more lively.

The first day of the first lunar month!

royal family relatives, civil and military officials, and women of the imperial court......

They all entered the palace to congratulate.

Xiao Yi, as the representative of Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, has a four-rank official position on his body, and naturally appears on the Jinluan Palace.

King Dongping saw Xiao Yi, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and he scolded: "Rebel!" ”

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, didn't make a sound, and didn't give King Dongping a straight look.

King Dongping was furious.

Sure enough, it's a rebel!

When I saw my father, I didn't know how to salute and say goodbye.

Do you really think that if you rely on Pingwu Hou Shi Wen, you will be able to be fearless?

Immature!

King Dongping scolded again, "Bastard! ”

Xiao Yi sneered, still silent.

King Dongping couldn't suppress his anger, pointed at him and scolded angrily: "Have you learned all the rules in the dog's belly?" ”

Until this moment, Xiao Yi was willing to look at King Dongping.

"The prince is really a noble man who forgets things. I have been expelled from the family tree, you and I have nothing to do with each other, I am an official of the same dynasty, and even my colleagues are not counted, so why should I ask you for peace? ”

"You, you, you......"

King Dongping was so angry that his face was the color of pig liver.

He never expected that the rebel would dare to lose his face in the Jinluan Palace.

Xiao Yi sneered, brushed his sleeves and left.

He was afraid that if he said something even more ugly, he would make his father angry to death.

I'm angry with my father, it's a big rebellion!

And it's still in the Golden Luang Palace.

It's not right, it's not right!

It's best to go!

The Han general wields a net whip.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, royal family relatives, arranged in order.

With a singing and shouting, Emperor Yongtai walked up to the Jinluan Hall and accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials.

The gathering of princes and kings once every five years, the great pilgrimage on the first day of the first month of the eleventh year of Yongtai, seems to be more festive, more luxurious, and more wealthy than in previous years.

The princes and kings of all walks of life not only sent New Year's blessings, but also gave valuable New Year's gifts.

The emperor's inner treasury has another income.

Throughout the whole process, everyone was beaming.

New year, new atmosphere, even if you are unhappy in your heart, you are still smiling on your face.

I thought it was a festive day, but I didn't expect that there would be a bloody disaster.

On the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Yi held an iron ruler in his hand and stabbed directly into the abdomen of the second master of the Tao family.

Second Master Tao was stunned, looked at Xiao Yi, and then looked down at the iron ruler that stabbed into his abdomen.

"You, you ......"

Why kill him?

Have you ever held a grudge?

Xiao Yi smiled evilly and leaned into the ear of Second Master Tao, "I will borrow your head today." ”

"Why are you ......?"

"Why did I kill you? Because your surname is Tao. ”

Yes......

On the Jinluan Palace, there was a scream.

"Murder!"

Rumble!

The courtiers scattered.

King Dongping's eyes jumped wildly, and he looked at it, "Rebel!" How dare you kill someone in public? ”

The ministers came back to their senses in an instant.

"What? The murderer turned out to be the son of King Dongping? ”

"Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen's nephew, killed the second master Tao! Is Shi Wen going to rebel? ”

"I think it's clear that the king of Dongping is going to rebel!"

The king of Dongping was anxious, "This rebel son, this king has already expelled him from the house." What he did had nothing to do with the king. Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

Emperor Yongtai took three steps and made two steps, and walked down the steps.

At this time, the Han general had already rushed into the Jinluan Palace, controlled the situation, and controlled Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yat was restrained and did not resist in the slightest.

The murder weapon, the iron ruler, fell to the ground and was covered in blood.

The second master Tao was bleeding all over the ground and fell to the ground.

"The old man wants to make you pay for your life!" The old man of the Tao family, Queen Tao's father, rushed out and shouted angrily.

Xiao Yat killed his son, and this feud was concluded.

If you don't kill Xiao Yi, the Tao family will never give up.

Someone took a few steps forward, probed the breath of Second Master Tao, and shook his head, "Your Majesty, Master Tao is dead!" ”

Old Man Tao roared "ah" and cried: "Your Majesty wants to make the decision for the old minister!" In front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Yi killed my son. If His Majesty can't handle it impartially, the old man will never give up. ”

In his anger, Old Man Tao did not choose his words, and even said something threatening the emperor.

Emperor Yongtai's eyes sank, and he glanced at Old Man Tao coldly.

Old Man Tao was immersed in the grief of losing his son, unconscious.

Master Tao noticed the change in the emperor's mood, and said comfortably: "Father's anger! I believe that His Majesty will definitely give the Tao family justice. King Dongping, what is your explanation for your son killing my second brother? ”

King Dongping's head is two big.

At this moment, he regretted very much that he had not put Xiao Yi to death in the first place.

He yelled, for fear that no one would hear.

"This rebel son has severed the father-son relationship with this king. The king knows nothing about him, and he will never ask about it. Whether you want to kill or chop is up to Your Majesty's decision. ”

Everyone looked at Emperor Yongtai and waited for his decision.

Emperor Yongtai asked the eunuchs beside him, "Is Master Tao really dead?" ”

Sun Bangnian and Sun Gonggong personally stepped forward to confirm, and then nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Tao is confirmed to be dead." ”

Oh!

Emperor Yongtai's expression did not move.

It seems that it is a very common thing for someone to kill someone in front of him in the Jinluan Palace.

He glanced at the Tao family.

The Tao family is in a family, and most of them surround the old man Tao.

Including the lackeys of the Tao family.

These people are not taboo at all, and they are not afraid that others will know that they are lackeys of the Tao family.

Emperor Yongtai sneered inwardly.

He looked at Xiao Yat again.

Xiao Yat has been tied up to ensure that he is not capable of committing murder.

Emperor Yongtai asked him, "Why did you kill Lord Tao?" ”

Xiao Yi looked at the corpse of Second Master Tao and smiled sarcastically, "He scolded me!" ”

Hey!

Is it for this reason?

The ministers talked a lot.

Xiao Yi is lawless, and dares to kill people in the Jinluan Palace, and kill him.

Anyway, he has been removed from the family tree by the king of Dongping, and he can't be considered a clan, so he will be killed if he kills him.

"Please give your Majesty the order to kill Xiao Yat!"

"Murder in the Jinluan Palace is unheard of. Such a heinous act is not enough to kill the people to be outraged. ”

"It's not just unheard of, it's clearly appalling and lawless."

"Murder pays for life, and it is a matter of course. Please order Xiao Yat to be executed. ”

The ministers were indignant.

It's really Xiao Yat's behavior is too bad.

If it is not punished severely, it is equivalent to making a very bad start, and those who come after it will follow suit.

Emperor Yongtai raised his hand to stop the discussion of the ministers.

He asked Xiao Yi, "Just because Master Tao scolded you, you killed him?" ”

Xiao Yi is like a madman, so crazy that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, "Can't you kill him?" ”

Emperor Yongtai's face sank, "This is the Jinluan Palace, an important place for the imperial court." Today is the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the new year, and a day of great joy. You are guilty of murder in public? ”

"What is the crime of Wechen?"

"Presumptuous!" Sun Bangnian scolded loudly, "It is a capital crime to be disrespectful to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongtai gave Sun Bangnian a look.

He continued, "Who instructed you to kill Master Tao?" ”

"No one to instruct!" Xiao Yat made a loud noise.

King Dongping was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out.

He was really afraid that Xiao Yi, a rebel, would be involved in him, and he would make up nonsense and say that he instructed him.

This dead kid could really do such a thing.

Over the years, King Dongping has never understood what Xiao Yi did.

This person has to lose his heart and go crazy, so he will assassinate his stepmother and brother, and he will kill people in public in the Jinluan Palace, and he will kill the court official, Queen Tao's own brother.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn't bite indiscriminately.

King Dongping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he breathed a little early.

I only heard Emperor Yongtai ask: "But the king of Dongping instructed you?" ”

When King Dongping heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down, "Your Majesty Mingjian, give the old minister a hundred dares, and the old minister will not dare to instruct anyone to assassinate the court officials." ”

Xiao Yi sneered and emphasized again: "No one commands!" It was Weichen who couldn't get used to Lord Tao, so he killed him. ”

Emperor Yongtai's face turned cold, "Did Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen instruct you to assassinate Master Tao?" ”

Xiao Yi shook his head, still the same answer, "No one commands!" ”

Emperor Yongtai was greatly dissatisfied, "handed him over to Jin Wuwei and interrogated him strictly." The fact that Master Tao was stabbed to death must be investigated. ”

"No!"

General Dahan escorted Xiao Yi away.

Emperor Yongtai looked at his back, and did not withdraw his gaze until the person disappeared.

Then he began to appease the old man Tao and promised to give the Tao family an explanation.

Xiao Yi killed, and the king of Dongping who was present became the target of everyone.

Who called him Xiao Yat's father.

Even though he repeatedly emphasized that he had removed Xiao Yat and severed the father-son relationship, no one heard it.

The blood relationship can be severed with a sentence of "delisting".

Xiao Yat kills people, this matter is by no means simple.

Courtiers have the ability to complicate simple things, and make complex things deep and chaotic.

Killing people in public on the Jinluan Palace, how can this matter be simple.

There must be an ulterior motive behind it.

King Dongping, as Xiao Yi's father, bore the brunt of the attack and was suspected.

Old Man Tao was furious and said to him: "Xiao Yi killed the old man's son, and the prince must give the old man an explanation." ”

King Dongping has a hundred MMPs in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

He hates!

He repented!

regrets that when Xiao Yat was born, he didn't drown.

The rebel son is determined to kill the whole family.

Of course, King Dongping is not a soft egg.

Facing Old Man Tao, he was not stunned at all, "Explain? What's the explanation? This king wants to ask the old man, what is the heart of your Tao family, knowing that Xiao Yi's brain is not normal, and deliberately provoking him. He even dared to kill his stepmother and brother, he was a madman, he had already lost his mind, and a word might stimulate him to kill. You know this, but you refuse to keep your mouth shut. As a result, the second master Tao was killed by him, and he can only say retribution! ”

"You fart!"

"You're a fart!" King Dongping did not show weakness in the slightest.

"Shut up! Why Xiao Yi killed people, whether he was really stimulated, I will definitely investigate it clearly and give you Aiqing an explanation. ”

Emperor Yongtai came forward to mediate the quarrel between the Tao family and the Dongping Wangdi.

The Tao family is not convinced!

King Dongping is even more unconvinced!

Xiao Yi's murder was simply an accident and an unwarranted disaster.

He didn't want to give birth to such a madman-like son.

But after all the lives were born, the people grew up, and the second master Tao was also killed, what else could he do.

I only hope that Jin Wuwei really has the ability to find out the truth.

Of course, King Dongping was vaguely suspicious of Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen in his heart.

Shi Wen is ambitious, maybe he instigated Xiao Yi.

King Dongping gritted his teeth, eager to raise his knife and cut down Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen.

……

The second master Tao was assassinated in public, and the news reached the harem.

Queen Tao, who was greeting the court's wife, banged, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

How many years......

Since marrying Emperor Yongtai, Empress Tao has never lost her temper in front of others.

The wives looked at each other.

What happened?

Why is Queen Tao's face so ugly?

Princess Chengyang immediately instructed her henchmen to inquire about the news.

Empress Tao controlled her emotions, "The palace is unwell, go back to the palace to rest first." Everyone's self-sufficient. ”

After speaking, Queen Tao got up and left in a hurry.

In the main hall, everyone was talking.

Soon, a chamberlain arrived and announced His Majesty's dictation, and the wives were immediately out of the palace.

That's it for today's pilgrimage.

While the wives breathed a sigh of relief, the doubts in their hearts grew bigger and bigger.

Why is it so serious?

……

Regardless of the obstacles, Queen Tao hurried to the Jinluan Hall and saw the corpse of the second master Tao.

A field of blood!

She was furious and compassionate......

Facing Emperor Yongtai, she cried bitterly.

"The concubine's brother died unexplained, please call the shots of Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongtai hugged her, "The queen can rest assured, I have asked Jin Wuwei to investigate this matter, and I will definitely find out." ”

"What about Yat Siu? Murder pays for life, please give him the death penalty! ”

"Give him the death penalty, and there is no haste. When the matter is clarified, it is not too late to talk about the crime! ”

Empress Tao looked at Emperor Yongtai, "The concubines are all counting on Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't worry! Jin Wuwei will definitely find out about this matter. ”

Empress Tao returned to Weiyang Palace and smashed a room full of porcelain.

"Mother's anger! Anger hurts the liver, and the mother beware of the body. ”

Young Eunuch Mei persuaded on the side.

Empress Tao breathed sharply, gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yi must die!" Must die! ”
