Chapter 355: Send a cup of poisoned wine
Zhou Shangshu's questioning was of course reasonable, but Zhao Tianlin's face couldn't hold back, and he hurriedly said: "Father, they really have no personal feelings, about Yun Shizi's liking...... This matter was told by Su'er to Erchen, and Erchen told his cousin. ”
"That's it!" Emperor Yongqing waved his sleeves, "King Zhao, you don't need to explain, you are now trying the case." ”
What kind of case is being tried? Of course, it was Ye Chengxuan who designed the case of Master Jian and Yun Shizi. As for whether Ye Chengxuan and Yun Zhixu have a personal relationship, it is not something that Emperor Yongqing cares about.
Zhou Shangshu has always been good at speculating about the emperor's heart, and when he heard this, his heart was tense at the moment, and Emperor Yongqing didn't want to hear anyone say that Ye Chengxuan and Yun Zhixu had a personal affair.
In an instant, Zhou Shangshu adjusted his strategy in his heart, and said to Ye Chengxuan: "Ye Chengxuan, you instructed Fan Langzhong to frame Master Jian and Yun Shizi, who else is complicit with you?" ”
Zhao Tianyi ordered, just folded one Ye Chengxuan, how could it be enough, be sure to let Ye Chengxuan bite Zhao Tianlin out.
Ye Chengxuan and Zhao Tianlin are cousins, he has done so much, who doesn't know that it is for Zhao Tianlin to ascend to the throne, if Ye Chengxuan says something that has nothing to do with Zhao Tianlin, no one will believe it.
Zhou Shangshu's eyes cautiously fell on Emperor Yongqing, Emperor Yongqing loved King Zhao too much, if Emperor Yongqing had the heart to protect King Zhao, then even if it was ironclad evidence, I was afraid that King Zhao would not have anything to do.
However, Emperor Yongqing's expression was obscure, and he couldn't see any joy or anger at all.
"Zhou Shangshu doesn't have to think in vain, the matter was done by me Ye Chengxuan alone, and there is no accomplice." Ye Chengxuan said loudly, "Now that the East Window incident has happened, Ye Chengxuan pleads guilty and asks His Majesty to forgive him." ”
Ye Chengxuan knelt on the ground, but his back was straight, as if even if Emperor Yongqing gave him the death penalty, he would not have a trace of panic.
The corners of Zhao Tianlin's lips were pursed tightly, Ye Chengxuan really did what he said, he took on everything, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart. Ye Chengxuan has done so much, in the final analysis, it is still for him.
"Father, my cousin is just confused for a while, please ask my father to be merciful and spare him." Zhao Tianlin knelt down to Emperor Yongqing to plead.
Ahem......
Yun Jin covered his mouth and began to cough again, Xie Qing hurriedly calmed him down, "Husband, don't be angry." ”
What did Ye Chengxuan do, designed to frame Lord Jian and Yun Jin, if the truth is not revealed, then Yun Jin will suffer an injustice, and under the anger of His Majesty, even if Yun Jin is immortal, he will be imprisoned.
Such a big crime, falling into Zhao Tianlin's mouth, is just a fluttering sentence of "momentary confusion", which is really ridiculous.
In an instant, Zhao Tianlin's face flushed.
Yun Jin and Xie Qing were displeased, of course Zhou Shangshu wanted to take the opportunity to add a fire, and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Chengxuan framed Lord Jian and Yun Shizi with his own selfishness, if it is easily exposed, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public." ”
Emperor Yongqing said lightly: "Zhou Shangshu, you are the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and you know the law best, according to your opinion, how should you deal with Ye Chengxuan?" ”
Zhou Shangshu's face was embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said: "According to the law, crimes should be punished, but in addition to the law, there are also favors, and Weichen dare not speak carefully." ”
Seeing Emperor Yongqing's expression, Zhou Shangshu continued: "Weichen thinks that Ye Chengxuan should be taken to the heavenly prison, as for how to deal with it, we will discuss it later. ”
How to deal with Ye Chengxuan has the final say in Emperor Yongqing, and Zhou Shangshu seems to be sleek and conforms to the holy will, but in fact it is just pushing the boat down the river, anyway, today Ye Chengxuan is iron-hearted and silently said King Zhao, if you want to make Ye Chengxuan speak, it will take a lot of effort. It is better to put Ye Chengxuan in the prison first, and then find a way to pry Ye Chengxuan's mouth open.
Emperor Yongqing's gaze fell on Yun Jin and said, "What does Yun Shizi think?" ”
Under Xie Qing's comfort, Yun Jin finally stopped coughing, raised his eyes and said lightly: "It's all up to Your Majesty's Holy Judgment, and Weichen has no objections." ”
Emperor Yongqing waved his hand: "Just do what Zhou Shangshu wants, Zhou Shangshu, you will escort people to the prison of the Criminal Department, strictly guarded, and no one will be allowed to visit without my permission." ”
In an instant, Zhao Tianlin's face changed slightly, and no one was allowed to visit, which was simply Emperor Yongqing warning him not to visit.
"Wechen obeys the holy order." A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Shangshu's eyes, no one was allowed to visit, so he had a good move, which was wonderful.
Yun Jin got up, Xie Qing hurriedly helped him, "Your Majesty, Yun Jin is unwell, please allow Yun Jin to retire." ”
Because of Fang Cai's coughing, there was an abnormal flush on his pale face.
"I remember, has my son been in better health since he got married? Why is it getting worse again? Emperor Yongqing said slowly. The tone is not salty or light, it is obviously a question, but it sounds like a flat statement.
Yun Jin smiled and said: "The weather is getting colder, and it is normal to cough twice, thank Your Majesty for your concern, Yun Jin retired." ”
As for whether Emperor Yongqing cares about him, these are just words, just listen to it.
Emperor Yongqing and Duke Gao glanced at each other, and Duke Gao understood, and called out the palace people who were waiting in the imperial study, and for a while, only Emperor Yongqing and Zhao Tianlin were left in the room.
"Lin'er, do you know your mistake!" Emperor Yongqing's face instantly pulled, and he reprimanded in a deep voice.
Zhao Tianlin was startled, and subconsciously knelt on the ground: "Father, son, ...... ministers"
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Emperor Yongqing must have known that he and Ye Chengxuan conspired to frame Lord Jian and Yun Jin.
"Erchen...... Erchen ......"
What should he say? Is it all Ye Chengxuan's idea, he can't stop it? Or do you just admit your mistake?
"The son knows his mistake."
In the end, he still chose to admit his mistakes, and lying in front of Emperor Yongqing was to bully the king. Emperor Yongqing hated others to deceive him the most, so he still chose to tell the truth.
"Erchen knows that he is shallow in learning, not as good as King Yi, and although the mother concubine is favored by his father, but her background is too low, she is often ridiculed, Erchen is terrified, Erchen is incompetent, and can only work hard to do what his father ordered, but he doesn't want Jingzhou to go wrong after all, Erchen was impeached by hundreds of officials, and his heart is even more uneasy, so he agreed to his cousin's plan."
"Father, the sons know that they are guilty of great sins, and they have the high hopes of their fathers, and the sons are willing to be punished."
Zhao Tianlin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and did not dare to raise it, he was afraid of seeing Emperor Yongqing's angry face, he designed to frame the courtiers, and committed the crime of bullying the king, Emperor Yongqing was angry, and it was possible to demote him to a commoner.
If Zhao Tianlin raised his head at this moment, he would see that Emperor Yongqing's face was not angry, but only calm.
Emperor Yongqing had already sent someone to investigate the matter in Jingzhou, and Emperor Yongqing naturally knew what the truth was.
"Get up." Emperor Yongqing said lightly.
Zhao Tianlin raised his head at this time, his eyes were full of astonishment, his father forgave him?
"Father's ......"
"I told you to get up." Emperor Yongqing emphasized again.
Zhao Tianlin hurriedly stood up, for fear of upsetting Emperor Yongqing.
Emperor Yongqing took Zhao Tianlin's expression into his eyes, and everyone was cautious in front of him, the courtiers were, the harem concubines were, King Yi was, and so did King Zhao. But Zhao Tianlin is different from others, he always has a sense of awe for him, and he is careful to have heavy traces, but it is so real that people can see through his mind at a glance.
"I know very well about the affairs of Jingzhou, Lin'er, you have committed the crime of negligence."
Zhao Tianlin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "Erchen knows his mistake. ”
Humility like an ant.
Emperor Yongqing shook his head and said softly, "Lin'er, your temperament is too weak. If you are willing to stand up and admit it in person, then who will accuse you and impeach you? ”
If Zhao Tianlin hadn't hesitated from the beginning and directly made what Ye Shangshu did public, he wouldn't have been so passive.
"You are the king of Zhao, but you are so indecisive, how can you take on a big responsibility in the future?"
Emperor Yongqing's words shocked Zhao Tianlin's heart and took on a big responsibility? Could it be that my father wants to ......
"Father, please give your son another chance, and your son will definitely not live up to his father's expectations." Zhao Tianlin hurriedly said.
Emperor Yongqing's eyes flashed slightly, "Is this true?" ”
Zhao Tianlin nodded: "Seriously, Erchen will definitely be able to do it." ”
"Okay, then you can send Ye Chengxuan a glass of poisoned wine."
