Chapter 224: Sole Favor

♂? ,,

On the Jinluan Palace, Xuanyuan Yan was dealing with state affairs, and the ministers were waiting tremblingly, figuring out the emperor's thoughts.

can't see through, none of them can see through the emperor's thoughts, Concubine Lin is still alive, four days have passed, and that Concubine Lin is safe and sound, making the Lin family even more unable to explain.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, and the concubine is willing to admit her guilt, I only ask the emperor to be gracious, pardon Wu'er, and leave him alive!"

A sad low cry came from behind, and a woman pounced from the back of the Jinluan Palace, and someone stopped her, but because of the identity of the other party, she didn't dare to pull it, and the woman broke into the Jinluan Palace.

"Concubine Lin!"

The ministers couldn't help but be shocked, how did this concubine break into the Jinluan Palace? “

Xuanyuan Yan remained silent, and Mo Yan stared at Concubine Lin coldly, whose arrangement should this be? No matter whose arrangement it was, without Ye Ruoxi's secret permission and cooperation, Concubine Lin would never have been able to break into the Jinluan Palace.

Concubine Lin knelt down under the Danqi, bowed her head and cried: "The concubine is here to ask the emperor for guilt, everything is done by the concubine, it is done by the concubine, and it has nothing to do with others." Everything was arranged by the concubines, several concubines, Concubine Yan and a few others were all killed by the concubines! ”

One sentence shocked the court, and he couldn't help but look at Concubine Lin's body.

"Mother, you, what are you talking nonsense?"

"Bold, who is allowed to open his mouth on the Golden Luan Palace/'

Xuanyuan Yan scolded coldly, and Lin Mingtang hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down: "Your Majesty, enlighten the emperor, the concubine is delirious and talking nonsense, please order someone to wait for the concubine to go down to recuperate." “

"Lin Mingtang, I see, this dragon chair should be made, when do I need to obey the order?"

"Don't dare, the minister will never dare, there is no such intention, please ask the emperor to learn clearly."

"Then shut your mouth, or think that you can confuse the public, and want to kill people here or stop Concubine Lin from telling the truth? Say more, don't blame me for punishing the crime first! “

Xuanyuan Yan's voice was extremely cold, making Lin Mingtang prostrate on the ground, not daring to say more.

"Concubine Lin, let's talk about it carefully."

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Concubine Lin with playful eyes, who used what kind of reason to force Concubine Lin to be willing to bear all the charges and break into the Jinluan Palace to carry this huge black cauldron?

"Your Majesty, everything is done by the concubines, when the first emperor was seriously ill, the queen went to the Buddha Hall, and then the harem was taken care of by the concubines. The concubines have always had their own power in the harem, and Concubine Yan and others were all secretly killed by the concubines. The concubine also took advantage of the people of the Lin family, in order to protect herself, in order to eliminate those enemies in the past, the concubine was confused for a while, and did these irreparable things, and asked the emperor to punish the crime. “

Concubine Lin prostrate on the ground and said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, it is not a pity for the concubines to die, I only ask the emperor to read that Wu'er is also the bloodline of the first emperor, and give him immortality, leaving him alive, and the concubines are also blinded under the nine springs." Your Majesty, open

Yes! “

"The third brother is also the bloodline of the first emperor, and he is my brother. And explain the reason and purpose of doing this, I will not be embarrassed for the third brother, and he will be able to enjoy a life in peace, without worrying about food and clothing, so as to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in heaven. “

Xuanyuan Yan was making a promise to Concubine Lin.

He didn't know the plan behind the whole thing, but after Concubine Lin said those words just now, he understood that Concubine Lin was willing to carry this huge black cauldron for Xuanyuan Wu's life, admitting that everything was done by her.

As long as he gives Concubine Lin a promise, Concubine Lin will admit all the blame, and now he really needs a scapegoat, especially if this scapegoat is the Lin family, everything is perfect.

"Yes, the concubines thank the emperor for his grace, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, Chrysostom Yuyan, but I can't forget today's words, the concubines thank the emperor for his grace."

Concubine Lin kowtowed heavily to the ground, slammed her head on the ground, and after getting Xuanyuan Yan's promise, she gritted her teeth fiercely.

Xuanyuan Yan also understood that the ministers also needed a reasonable reason, otherwise it would not be enough for Concubine Lin to admit her guilt.

He hoped that the person behind the scenes had already arranged everything, and this Concubine Lin could say enough reasons to reassure the ministers and no longer have other suspicions.

"Your Majesty, there has always been no family affection in the harem fights, not to mention that there is no relationship between the concubines and those concubines. The grievances that have accumulated for many years, the concubines know that their lives will be long and will die soon, how to be willing to keep them is a threat to Wu'er. “

Concubine Lin talked eloquently, and Ye Ruoxi leaned on the pillar behind the Jinluan Hall with her arms crossed, listening to Concubine Lin's narration.

It is nothing more than that Concubine Lin is terminally ill and will die soon, so before she dies, she will get rid of all the troubles, so that the third prince Xuanyuan Wu will no longer have any worries.

And Concubine Lin did this in order to seek the emperor's grace and forgive Xuanyuan Wu for not dying, which can be regarded as doing something for the emperor, cleaning up the harem and the powerful ministers and relatives in the court, and atonement for the crime.

"The concubine only hates to start too late, the opportunity to come too late, if it was a few months ago, or even a month ago, ......"

Concubine Lin gritted her teeth fiercely, almost crushing her silver teeth, and fell in the eyes of the ministers, this concubine was ruthless, ruthless and ruthless, which frightened everyone in the courtiers.

The first emperor was seriously ill, and the queen was imprisoned by Ye Tianqing and went to the Buddhist hall, and the harem was indeed nominally presided over by the highest-ranking Concubine Lin.

But God knows, she only has a name, and the power and everything in the harem are never in her hands. It's just that these courtiers don't know very well that Concubine Lin has been in the palace for many years, and it is extremely normal to have her own forces in the harem.

What's more, the power of the Lin family is extremely heavy, more powerful than that of other relatives.

This is also one of the reasons why the Lin family was safe and sound on the day of Jian'an's bloodshed, Ye Tianqing couldn't easily touch the Lin family and provoke greater changes, so he could only let the Lin family go for the time being.

Just let the Lin family settle down.

In the days when Xuanyuan Yan left, some people in the Lin family were also demoted and dismissed, but Ye Tianqing did it very skillfully, and he did not hurt the Lin family's muscles and bones too deeply, and the Lin family endured it.

They also didn't dare to go against Ye Tianqing, they couldn't help but hide and wait for the news that Xuanyuan Yan was assassinated and died, and they didn't want Xuanyuan Yan to be assassinated, so they didn't dare to act rashly. Gong Qingtian's court read out a series of wills, which completely stillborn the Lin family's plans and arrangements, and they did not dare to make any more changes.

After Xuanyuan Yan ascended the throne, the Lin family was not dead, and wanted to ask the third prince Xuanyuan Wu to secretly convene the old department to rise up and seize the throne.

Such a Lin family, how could Xuanyuan Yan stay, it's just that the Lin family's power is too great, and it is intertwined, so it will take a lead and set off.

He was afraid that if he moved the Lin family, it would cause several other relatives to take risks and cause great changes.

He can only be patient with the Lin family, not long after he ascended the throne, the government and the opposition are unstable, and even his throne is unstable.

Relatives must be eliminated quickly, but he needs time and opportunity.

At this time, Concubine Lin gave him a chance.

Murdering the concubine with the intention of rebellion is enough for such a crime.

At the same time, it provoked the hatred of several other relatives against the Lin family, so there was no need to worry about the Yan family, the Ming family, ......, and others, because of the kind of things that hurt them.

"Someone came, take down Lin Mingtang, confiscate the Lin family, and search strictly. Kang Yuanyuan, go and handle this matter for me, if there is the slightest omission, you don't need to come back to see me, wipe your neck yourself! “

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was extremely heavy, and in anger, he kicked over the dragon book case.

The courtiers were all the first time to see the emperor's angry appearance, and they couldn't help but be frightened, the emperor who was high up at this moment was full of murderous aura, and the emperor's majesty made them dare not look directly.

Lin Mingtang Huo Ran raised his head and wanted to say something.

Kang Yuanyuan slammed his palm on the back of Lin Mingtang's neck, Lin Mingtang's body weakened, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Minister, obey the order."

Kang Yuanyuan agreed on one knee, how could he give Lin Mingtang a chance to defend himself, directly knocked Lin Mingtang unconscious to the ground, and dragged him out of the Jinluan Hall with one hand.

The young Lord Shangshu is now also full of evil energy, which makes the ministers look sideways, Kang Yuanyuan, who was dying just now, is like a dragon and a tiger.

With one hand, Lord Lin Mingtang, who was full of fat brains and more than 200 catties, easily dragged him out of the Jinluan Palace, threw him outside the Jinluan Palace, and tied up the guards. He turned around and hurried all the way out of the palace, making the ministers smack their tongues as fast as he could.

The illness of this Shangshu Lord came like a mountain, and it went faster than the mountain.

Lord Shangshu, who is fierce and fierce, all the way

Walking out of the palace quickly, the ministers all understood that Kang Yuan went to carry out the emperor's will and confiscated the Lin family.

Lin family, it's over!

"The concubines know that they deserve to die, the emperor, the emperor, beg the emperor to spare Wu'er's life, and ask the emperor not to forget

Remember the words I promised my concubine today! “

A touch of purple-black blood poured out from Concubine Lin's lips, and she fell softly on the Jinluan Palace, taking poison and committing suicide.

The ministers gasped, as soon as Concubine Lin died, there was no proof of this death, and the Lin family's sin was decided.

The ministers couldn't help but raise their heads slightly, peeking at the emperor's face, and at the same time their eyes swept over Kang Yuanbang's face.

The attitude of the two brothers of the Xi family also made them unable to understand that Master Shangshu, the third powerful figure of the Xi family, had just been punished and reprimanded by the emperor, and was entrusted with a heavy task to deal with the affairs of the Lin family, what is the deep meaning of this?

Is the emperor going to take this opportunity to embarrass the Xi family again and suppress the Xi family?

Or, is the emperor giving the Xi family a chance?

The power of the Lin family should not be underestimated, and they are happy to see the battle between the Xi family and the Lin family, consuming each other.

There is no suspense in this matter, the Lin family, no longer exists!

Someone dragged Concubine Lin's body down, leaving only a bloody letter from Concubine Lin, stained with blood and tears, confessing all her crimes, and laying it on the ground of the Jinluan Hall as evidence.

The corners of Ming Ying's eyes twitched violently, and the defeat of the Lin family, the second most powerful family of his relatives, was so unforeseen and so fast, that all the courtiers, especially him, felt violently uneasy in their hearts.

Compared with the Lin family, his family is far inferior.

The emperor decreed, Concubine Lin confessed her guilt in the palace, and the Xi family did it, no matter how powerful the Lin family was, it would be difficult to escape.

Lin Mingtang was taken down, the Lin family was leaderless, and they were completely arrested and confiscated, even if some people can escape for a while, they are also some unimportant people, but there are roles.

Today, Concubine Lin suddenly appeared in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor suddenly attacked, everything seemed to be premeditated, the Lin family was unprepared and unprepared, and it would definitely be taken down in one fell swoop, and there was not much ability to resist.

The person who presided over this matter was the secretary of the military department, who held the military power, and the forces of the Xi family attacked in front of him, holding the holy decree, and the Lin family had no power to resist.

The ministers were silent and silent.

Especially a few relatives, looking at the emperor's expression and Kang Yuanbang's face with anxiety.

Kang Yuanbang bowed his head and was silent, as if he was pondering.

Xuanyuan Yan's face was cold, and he was silent.

There was silence in the main hall.

Ye Ruoxi shook her head and turned to leave, the matter was done, she should withdraw.

Perhaps, she should visit the Grand Steward one more time, and perhaps, the Grand Steward's mission plan has been completed, and there is no need and no more will be done.

One order after another was conveyed from Kang Yuanyuan's mouth, Xi Jiamian was mobilized, and the guards of the Imperial City of the Military Department were also mobilized.

The city gate was closed in the time of half a pillar of incense, the city was under martial law, the Lin family had not yet understood, and found out about the changes in Jian'an City, the army was armed with weapons, rushed into the Lin family, and arrested the rebellious Lin family.

Kang Yuanyuan rode on a white horse, covered in silver armor

Xuan, full of murderous aura, led several teams to control and surround the mansions and courtyards of the Lin family, and arrested everyone in the Lin family.

Another team of men, under the leadership of the degraded city gate official and the original commander of the Praetorian Guard, went out from the city gate to seize and confiscate the Lin family's property in the suburbs and capture the Lin family's people.

Not a single one is allowed to be spared.

Kang Yuanyuan's order is like this.

However, after an hour's work, the people of the Lin family filled the heavenly prison in Kyoto, and had to send some unimportant people to the prisons of other yamen to be guarded.

The Lord Lin Li of the military department finally reunited with his family in prison, but what brought him despair was despair.

The seizure was carried out until the evening, and the confiscated finances from the Lin family were enough to fill up the treasury, which was not originally full. The confiscated property of the Lin family was not less than the money in the treasury, and it exceeded the total amount in the treasury.

In addition, the royal robes and crowns, weapons and other prohibited things were confiscated in the Lin family, as for whether these things were originally in the Lin family, whether the Lin family intended to rebel and rebel, or whether they were later brought over, no one dared to ask.

In short, those things were searched by Ming Huanghuang from the underground secret room of the Lin family's mansion.

There are all human and physical evidence, and the Lin family's major crime of plotting rebellion and intending to rebel has been confirmed.

In the past, the wealthy and glorious minister's family is now dilapidated, and the Lin family, a few hundred people, have been taken into the heavenly prison and other prisons, and not a single subordinate has been spared.

In the afternoon, when the courtiers retreated, the people of the Lin family had already been sent to the prison, and then they searched the house to clean up their belongings.

Kang Yuanyuan quickly ordered someone to send the forbidden things into the palace to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he would not give the Lin family a chance to turn the tables. He won't do anything about beating a snake and not dying, but being bitten to death by a snake.

The third young master of the Xi family has always been ruthless and ruthless, and what flows in his veins is ruthless and ruthless boiling blood, and his ruthlessness is the same to the enemy and himself, the kind that does not hesitate to die. A person who is ruthless to his enemies is not terrible, but he is also ruthless to himself, such a person is terrifying.

His affection and gentleness were given only to one woman.

His loyalty and life were given to the woman's husband, the current emperor.

Iron hooves stepped on, the Lin family was dilapidated and desolate, and the Lin family and property that were seized outside the city were continuously sent into Jian'an City, so that for a long time in the future, Xuanyuan Yan no longer had to worry about the lack of gold and silver in the treasury.

In this afternoon, dozens of letters and memoranda, impeachment of the Lin family, flew into the palace and were presented to the imperial front. Article 28 of the major crimes, the ministers jointly impeached the news, and everyone was punished for the chaos and thieves.

Kang Yuanbang, as the imperial historian, finally did not fail to act at this critical time, but used his authority to sign a memo with the ministers, drawing up the 28 felonies of the Lin family, and submitting them to the imperial front, smearing a heavy stroke for the final decapitation of the Lin family.

Ming Ying personally entered the palace and presented the folds to the emperor

Former.

He knelt in front of Xuanyuan Yan for a long time, and was sincerely afraid: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to serve the emperor and serve the emperor, and they are loyal to the emperor. The minister's family is obedient to the emperor, but the emperor has orders, and the ministers do not hesitate to die to serve the emperor. ”

On this afternoon, the awakened Ming Ying, the head of the Ming family, bowed his head to the emperor and begged for mercy on behalf of the Ming family.

At this moment, Ming Ying was only afraid that the emperor would not give him a chance, and if he didn't believe his words, he would eradicate the Ming family in the next step and end up with the same fate as the Lin family.

It was only at this time that Ming Ying understood why Emperor Xian left the throne to this emperor.

The scheming is deep, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, the emperor's methods are ruthless and changeable, and they have endured it for 20 years, once the emperor has an attack, they can't bear the emperor's anger and revenge.

"Your Majesty, please be gracious to the emperor, ask the emperor to give grace, bang bang......"

Ming Ying shook his head again and again, what about the Xi family is not something he should worry about, at least the Xi family still has a mother who is favored by the emperor, for the sake of that mother's face, the emperor may let go of the Xi family, but there is no reason to let go of the Ming family.

"Your Majesty, the old minister begs the emperor for grace, and the old minister is allowed to resign and say goodbye."

Ming Ying pleaded and begged, and knelt in the imperial study for an hour, but he didn't wait for Xuanyuan Yan to say a word.

His heart was full of despair, could it be that the emperor had made up his mind to treat the Ming family with the same way he treated the Lin family?

The forehead has already been cracked, and the blood oozing red the ground of the imperial study, and today he is kneeling to death here, and he also asks for the emperor's grace, for the sake of the Ming family.

Severe pain passed from his forehead to Mingying's head, and he was still kowtowing heavily, waiting for the emperor's mercy and mercy.

The cigarette smoke was swirling, the sandalwood was wafting indoors, and the Buddha statue on the Buddha hall looked coldly at the gaffe, watching everything that happened in the palace.

Ye Ruoxi stepped into the Buddha Hall, and with a glance from the fifth child, all the people retreated, away from the Buddha Hall, leaving Ye Ruoxi alone to face the former palace manager who had suffered a stroke and was disabled.

"You say, is this Lin family finished? I always feel that it won't be so easy, the Lin family has been in the government and the opposition for many years, and there is a third prince here, and they have no secret power. ”
