Chapter 38: The Great Gift
"Parking"
An Yi tightened the reins and stopped the carriage slowly and steadily.
I only heard the scholar say, "Thank you, Lord Regent, and take your leave." ”
Ye Nan said silently, "I will send it." ”
The scholar got out of the carriage and disappeared around the corner without looking back.
An Yi continued to drive, and couldn't help but ask out loud, "Master, whose person is that person?" ”
Ye Nan Lin didn't speak, just picked up the letterhead in his hand, a piece of paper was densely filled with characters he couldn't understand, and studied it with a frown on his brow for a long time, but he still didn't see what this symbol meant, so he had to put the letterhead away and put it close to his body.
"Master, I've arrived at the palace gate."
Ye Nan Lin bent down and got out of the carriage and instructed An Yi, "I will get things done as soon as possible." ”
"Yes."
Ye Nan Lin walked into the palace gate, it was the time of the last dynasty, and all the ministers wanted to see Ye Nan Lin to see the court, "I have seen the prince." ”
"The Lord Regent is well."
Ye Nan didn't go to talk to them, and with a warm smile on his face all the time, he nodded to the greeting minister.
"Regent, please wait."
Ye Nan turned around when he heard the voice, "It's the old prime minister." ”
The prime minister was an old minister who was nearly sixty years old, his steps were slightly staggering, and he was old, but he couldn't hide the shrewdness in his eyes at all, and said to Ye Nan, "Lord Wang, can you take a step to speak." ”
Ye Nan raised his eyebrows lightly, this old prime minister regarded himself as a stumbling block, and stood beside King Duan and King Rui, it can be said that he was an opponent who was red-eyed when he met, he was so attentive today, and said with a light smile, "If the prime minister has anything to say to this king, you might as well say it directly." ”
The prime minister's wrinkled old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "The prince has a big gift in the court today, and I want you to accept it with a smile." ”
Ye Nan Lin smiled at the prime minister's warm run, "Oh~, this king doesn't know what kind of gift the prime minister can come up with to make this king look sideways, the prime minister can rest assured, even if he can't get into the eyes of this king, he will never dismiss the prime minister's heart." ”
The prime minister's old face gradually stiffened, and he snorted, "Today is the day when the regent returns the regent, and the prince should not cut off his way back too much." ”
Ye Nan smiled faintly, "Then the king will wait and see." ”
"Shang~~~Chao~~~" The eunuch's shrill voice interrupted the ministers' thin whispers.
Ye Nan Silent walked straight into the Jinluan Palace, walked to the dragon chair, and then turned around and walked on the seat on the left side of the dragon chair.
"I've seen my emperor, long live long live long live"
"Regent Chitose Chitose Chitose"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"
"Regent Chitose Chitose"
Ye Zhaomo, who was sitting on the dragon chair and wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, raised his right hand lightly to the people kneeling down in the main hall, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat~~" The chief eunuch stood beside Ye Zhaomo and said in a loud voice.
Tobe Shangshu walked out of the queue and stepped forward and said, "The minister has a book. ”
Ye Zhaoran asked, "What's the matter with Aiqing?" ”
Hube Shangshu glanced at Ye Nan Lone, and said as if he had made up his mind: "The minister wants to impeach the regent, and he has the heart to seek power and seize the throne." ”
"Presumptuous, Li Aiqing, do you know what you're talking about?" Ye Zhao was furious and slapped the dragon case loudly.
Li Yuanzheng, the head of the household department, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "The minister has evidence, and the minister has evidence." ”
Ye Zhaoran looked at Ye Nan and said with a respectful face: "Uncle Huang, don't be angry, I will immediately put this nonsense person in prison." ”
Ye Nan Lin has always been indifferent, and when he heard Ye Zhaomo's words, he nodded approvingly and said, "What the emperor said is that the punishment of being in prison is a bit light, and Ling Chi should be executed, and his family should be exterminated." Such a fierce word came out of Ye Nan's lonely mouth, as if he was chanting poetry and painting.
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were in an uproar, and some people stood up and said, "Does the regent want to kill people and destroy evidence?" ”
"Could it be that the regent really has the intention of plotting power and usurping the throne, and I ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly."
Li Yuanzheng shouted, "The emperor saves the minister, the minister has the evidence of the regent's usurpation, the regent wants to kill the minister, the emperor saves the minister." ”
Ye Zhaoran said with an impartial and upright expression: "Li Aiqing, don't panic, I will never wronged a good minister, and I will never let go of any wolf with ambitions." ”
This is clearly a warning to Ye Nan Lone, how could the person concerned not hear it.
Ye Nan Lonely seemed to be watching a play, looking at the existence of this group of clowns who jumped off the beam, and shook his head regretfully, this play is really poorly sung.
Li Yuanzheng took out a jade pendant from his arms and raised it with both hands: "This jade pendant is the evidence of the regent's power and usurpation." ”
Everyone looked at the jade pendant and whispered, "Isn't that the regent's personal jade pendant?" ”
"Yes, yes, when the first emperor was alive, the regent always wore it on his body and never left his body, and then after the death of the first emperor, the regent never wore it again."
"Have you forgotten? This jade pendant can mobilize the dark dragon guard left by the first emperor, or the holy decree of the first emperor to give this jade pendant to the regent. ”
"That's it, how can this jade pendant be in Li Yuanzheng's hands at this time."
Ye Zhaomo's face is getting darker and darker, he has heard of the Dark Dragon Guard since he was a child, the Dark Dragon Guard is directly under the emperor, only obeys the emperor's orders, and is the most mysterious and powerful existence in the hands of the emperor, but his father has never mentioned the existence of the Dark Dragon Guard since he was seriously ill and handed over the throne to his own hands, but he didn't expect it to be in his hands, Ye Zhaomo clenched his fists with both hands, his green muscles were sudden, and his face was just the right amount of doubt and disbelief.
Raised his hand and motioned to the serving eunuch beside him to present the jade pendant, and looked at Ye Nan who was still indifferent on the side, "Uncle Huang, how is this jade pendant in Li Aiqing's hands." ”
If Ye Nan Lonely hadn't put the jade pendant next to Huamian's pillow with his own hands, he was afraid that he would be frightened by Li Yuanzheng holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and his slender fingers rubbed his smooth chin, and asked Li Yuanzheng, "Yes, how can this king's jade pendant be in your hand." ”
Li Yuanzheng's face was filled with righteous indignation, and he snorted, "The prince's memory is really bad, when the first emperor died two years ago, you used the jade pendant as an order to falsely pass on the emperor's holy decree, saying that King Rui and his gang plotted to kill the prince, and ordered the dark dragon guard to go to clean up, who knew that the head of the dark dragon guard was unwilling to join the regent to conspire to kill the emperor's siblings, so he ignored the regent's order, and absconded with nearly half of the people of the dark dragon guard with the jade pendant, and the regent ordered people to arrest him, or let the person escape with the jade pendant when he was seriously injured, and the regent would be seriously injured when he returned, said that he was chased by hundreds of people and almost died, but at that time, the court dug up and down the ground to find the person who was chasing and killing the regent at that time, but there was no trace of him. ”
These few words are colorful, and at that time, Ye Nan Lonely returned from injury, and the jade pendant disappeared, and the clues coincided with that year, which made the ministers talk about it, of course, there were also people who looked at Ye Nan Lonely worriedly and looked at the people with a calm face above.
Ye Zhaomo carefully looked at the jade pendant with the word night written on the dragon flying phoenix dance in his hand, and the trace of greed in his eyes made Ye Nan Lin completely see it in his eyes, and his warm smile was mixed with a little bitterness.
Ye Zhaomo handed the jade pendant to Ye Nan Lone, "Uncle Huang, this jade pendant is your piece?" ”
Ye Nan Lin took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and couldn't stop admiring the craftsmanship and his piece that was not bad at all, even the texture of the jade was very similar, but the jade pendant was worn on his body all the year round, and he habitually rubbed his hands, over the years, the color of the jade pendant was brighter, and it looked very delicate, and although the piece in his hand was old, he could still see the extremely fine edges left by the carving knife if he looked closely.
If it weren't for these traces, Ye Nan Lin would have wondered if Hua Mian had thrown away the jade pendant and fallen into Li Yuanzheng's hands.
"I'm afraid this jade pendant is a waste of Li Shangshu's effort, this workmanship, this texture is really the same."
"Of course" Li Yuanzheng said proudly for a while, and hurriedly added, "The regent doesn't have to worry about him, for this jade pendant, he knew the craftsman who carved the jade pendant at that time, according to the craftsman, this jade pendant is the piece he carved with his own hands back then, and the craftsmen who participated in the carving of this jade pendant said that it was the regent's piece." ”
Ye Zhaomo's voice was heavy, and he ordered, "Tell those craftsmen to bring it, and I will ask you personally." ”
Cheng Mu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but speak out to defend Ye Nan Lin and said, "Li Shangshu, why did you say that you happened two years ago only now, and who is the ins and outs of what you said, and where is this person." ”
Li Yuanzheng said with a confident face: "This person has been hidden in the mansion by me, and the dark dragon guard has been chased and killed by the regent everywhere in the past two years, and he has been hiding until now. ”
Someone chimed in, "Li Yuanzheng, you old thief and young man are sowing discord in the court and destroying the emperor's trust in the regent, you said that person is the Dark Dragon Guard, and who can prove that the person you called is the head of the Dark Dragon Guard, besides, the incumbent colleagues have not even seen the shadow of the Dark Dragon Guard, who can prove to you that this person is the Dark Dragon Guard." How can you believe it all by your own words? "This person is none other than Tang Hongqing, the elder of the Three Dynasties.
This old lady actually spoke up for herself, which surprised Ye Nan Lonely.
Then Jingzhao Mansion Yin and Dali Siqing spoke out to argue for Ye Nan Lonely.
Prime Minister Pu Yanghui stood up and argued in time, of course, for Li Yuanzheng, "Since it is said that this jade pendant is not the regent's, then dare to ask the regent to take out your piece, and it will also make us ministers have a lot less verbal disputes." ”
For a time, the Jinluan Palace was as noisy and lively as the morning market, and the ministers were divided into two factions, one side stood on Li Yuanzheng's side, only accusing the regent of seeking power and usurping the throne, and the other faction led by the old lady Tang Hongqing said that Li Yuanzheng fabricated false testimony and was instructed by King Rui and King Duan to frame the regent.
Ye Zhaomo looked at the noisy hall and said angrily, "Shut up for me, what kind of system will it be." ”
The ministers, who had been quarrelling incessantly, fell silent, and all returned to their seats, and lowered their hands.
"Uncle Huang, what do you say about this?"
Ye Nan's silent smile was extremely dazzling, and said with a smile, "This king just said that Li Yuanzheng should be executed by Ling Chi, it is really too light to raid the family and exterminate the clan, plus framing the regent of the current dynasty should punish the nine clans." However, if this king kills regardless of the obstruction, he will kill it, and this king still has the right to kill a household book, but this king is afraid that the prime minister will not forgive this king, if you don't die today, I am afraid that more and more jade pendants and dark dragon guards will pop up in the future, and this king is afraid that you will be in trouble, and this jade pendant can find such a similar I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort. In this case, King Li Shangshu let you understand that you are dead, call all the witnesses you said, and make it clear in front of the emperor, and the emperor will worry day and night. ”
Ye Zhaomo smiled when he heard this, "Where did the imperial uncle say, how could I be suspicious of the imperial uncle, but in order to block the mouth of this leisurely public, otherwise the imperial uncle who splashed the water was dirty and infamy, I couldn't help it, so I followed what the imperial uncle said, and passed on all the witnesses that Li Aiqing said. ”
A group of guards who walked in from outside the hall responded in unison, "Obey the Holy Commandment." ”
