Chapter 144: Slander
"Well, you're doing the right thing." Chu Nianwan smiled, but at this time, Mei Xiang hurriedly entered the door and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Lady, someone from the palace said that they want you to enter the palace!"
Chu Nian frowned, at this time, isn't it the time of the early dynasty?
Without waiting for her to think about it, a small eunuch behind Mei Xiang squeezed out: "County Lord, the emperor decreed, this is an urgent call." β
β¦β¦
The imperial palace, the huge Jinluan Hall is overcrowded, and the officials who originally said that they were not sick to the court also gathered together today.
There was a figure kneeling in the hall, and in front of him were dozens of tablets engraved with someone's name.
The tablets of these old people, who were home to the nostalgia of the newcomers, were being gathered together at random at the moment, and the courtiers were pointing around this pair of tablets, and even the prince Xuan at the top was also disdainful.
Not long after, Chu Nian hurried over, and when he entered the Jinluan Palace, he noticed an inexplicably depressing atmosphere, and the courtiers looked at Chu Nian with fear of avoiding it, and the schadenfreude in the eyes of King Huainan could be regarded as a clear stream among the courtiers.
Chu Nian's doubts were answered when she saw Shen Dui kneeling on the ground and the tablets of dozens of Su family descendants in front of him, she sneered in her heart, and knelt beside Shen Dui: "See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." β
The emperor at the top had a complicated face, "Don't be polite." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Zixuan was the first to speak: "Wushuang County Lord, do you know what is the reason for summoning you here today? β
Chu Nian arched his hand and glanced sideways at Shen Dui, who was still lying on the ground, "The courtiers don't know. β
Hearing this, Wang Zixuan glanced at Liu Qi on the side, and Liu Qi stepped forward, "In the name of the guilty minister, Lord Su, I asked the county lord to go to the old house of the Su family to remember the ancestors, and the county lord went with him, but he looked like a mad demon and said a few rebellious words, such as ......"
Liu Qi glanced at Chu Nian vaguely, and when he saw the smile that didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth before saying: "The Wushuang County Lord once told Weichen that she was possessed by a ghost of the sixth mother of the Su family. β
As soon as these words came out, the entire Jinluan Hall was in an uproar, Chu Nian still had a decent smile on her face, she glanced sideways at Shen Duan on the ground, and a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes.
She thought that Liu Qi would personally report her, but she didn't expect that he would unite with Shen Dui? But that's okay, even if it's Shen Dui who is in front of him now, he can directly end the two of them in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Chu Nian's face was no different, a trace of surprise flashed in Wang Zixuan's eyes, but he was not impatient, anyway, it was Shen Duan and Liu Qi who were targeting Chu Nian now, if the two of them failed, it would only be those two who caused trouble, with the Wang family's background for so many years, he still didn't believe that Chu Nian had the courage to attack the Wang family so early.
"County Lord, did you really say that?"
Chu Nian still smiled lightly: "At that time, General Liu took the joke seriously. β
Liu Qi's face sank, and at this time, Shen Dui raised his head, but he also looked at the emperor above without squinting: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen heard General Liu's words, and went to the Su family to check once, and found these, the Su family was originally a criminal minister of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and they were not qualified to accept such an enshrined tablet, when the execution of the Su family was issued, the ancestral tablet of the Su family should have been burned a long time ago, but now it appeared in the Su family again, obviously done by someone with a heart." β
After that, Shen Duan glanced at Chu Nian sideways, and his meaning was self-evident.
The discussion of the courtiers became more and more unable to hide, Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, but did not make a sound, until the emperor above coughed lightly, and the Jinluan Hall was quiet.
"The resurrection of ghosts, it is not unrecorded in the world, but if it is really the resurrection of ghosts, it will bring a lot of disasters every time, and the ministers have the courage to say, if the lord of Wushuang County is really resurrected by ghosts, it is necessary to stop the disasters in advance."
It was Dr. Tongyi who spoke, and at this moment his appearance of not being afraid of power was quite upright, of course, if you didn't look at his slightly trembling hands.
Chu Nian glanced at him sideways, his face turned pale suddenly, but when he received the look from Shen Duan, he forcibly held back the fear in his heart.
Everyone in the world will repay the unequaled county lord, and she will definitely repay those who offend her, and Dr. Tongyi doesn't know if it is the right choice for him to stand on Shen Dui's team today, he only knows that if Shen Dui is defeated today, he will definitely die.
But what Shen Duan said was also reasonable, and he had to believe that Chu Nian was Su Nian's reborn spirit, although this matter sounded too godly, but it was a great achievement to be able to trip the only hole card under Prince Ming Xiu's hand.
The courtiers all didn't believe in these words, but the matter had come to this point, and with the tablets that Shen Duan threw on the ground to testify, even if they didn't believe it, they also had a trace of fear of Chu Nian.
People's fears come from the unknown, and now that they know that Chu Nian is possessed by the wandering spirit of "Su Nian", everyone's fear of Chu Nian is incomprehensible, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Nian cannot leave such a "danger".
So, Dr. Tongyi became the first bird, and the rest of the ministers also spoke one after another, and for a while, Chu Nian became everyone's eyes.
Chu Nian stood with his hands in his hands, leaving those discussions behind, and it was not until the last person spoke that Chu Nian glanced at the emperor, and they all saw a trace of understanding in the other party's eyes.
These people who are afraid of the ghost of the Su family are all people who have ghosts in their hearts, and those who framed the Su family back then were the right-hand men of the Wang family and the Queen Mother, that is to say, these people who are speaking today need to be eradicated one by one.
This is a good show jointly performed by Chu Nian and the emperor, although the emperor still can't bear the queen mother, but in the end, it is for the sake of the world and Ming Xiu, and the emperor can do this, which is already against his filial piety.
Now that these people have been cheated, as long as Ming Xiu starts to eradicate them step by step in the future, the matter of getting rid of the Wang family will be captured.
After the last person spoke, Chu Nian smiled and said: "It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect it to cause panic, it's really the courtier's fault, but the courtier's daughter didn't expect that there would be anyone who believed in such a fantasy?" β
Chu Nian glanced at Shen Duan meaningfully, and then withdrew his gaze.
Shen Duan's face turned red at the sight of Chu Nian, "County Lord, if you are not Su Nian, why do you have a score that only Su Nian knows, and why do you still know the secret of the Su family?" Even Su Nian and my old things can be said, if you say that you are not Su Nian, who will believe it? β
Everyone knows that Shen Dui was the fiancΓ© of the sixth mother of the Su family, and everyone knows Shen Dui's actions when the Su family is destroyed.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were still hesitant, Chu Nian's face was slightly cold, she glanced at Shen Dui, and then looked at Shang Shoudao: "Women usually do not hide between themselves, and such secret matters of the Su family Liuniang have also been shared with the courtiers, and the courtiers are naturally clear." β
Shen Duan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he looked at Shang Chu Nian's eyes with a little sarcasm: "But Lord Shen is so frightened just because of a few jokes from the courtiers, is he afraid that the courtiers are really the reincarnation of Su Liuniang, is there a ghost in his heart?" β
Hearing this, Shen Dui's face suddenly turned pale, the Su family really had a lot of inside stories back then, but back then, everyone could turn a blind eye to the cruelty of Zhongliang, after all, the Wang family was still in full swing at that time.
But now it's different, the crown prince Mingxiu and the king of Huainan, these people are all eyeing the imperial power, and they regard the Wang family as a thorn in the flesh, if the grievances of the Su family are mentioned again, I am afraid that they will be caught by the prince Mingxiu and the king of Huainan, and then it will be troublesome.
Seeing Shen Duan's weak appearance, Chu Nianwan smiled: "Since it's just a joke, Lord Shen doesn't have to dwell on this, just apologize to the courtier." β
Everyone was all nervous, if the Wushuang County Lord was not pulled off the horse today, I was afraid that tomorrow it would be those of them who stood on Shen Dui's side who were pulled off the horse by the Wushuang County Lord, but obviously today's matter would be lightly exposed by the Wushuang County Lord......
At this time, Shen Duan gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if the Wushuang County Lord doesn't admit it, there are still two ministers, I'm afraid that the Wushuang County Lord will see it, and I have to admit my identity as a sinner girl." β
Seeing that Shen Dui was still dying, Chu Nian smiled absently, she wanted to know how many hole cards Shen Dui could come up with.
Wang Zixuan, who was at the top, took a step ahead of the emperor and said: "Then Xuan, listening to Lord Shen say this, my appearance is also a little curious." β
There was a whisper of the ministers in the hall again, and after a while, a plainly dressed woman and a little doll with a pink face were brought up, and the little doll was only five or six years old, and at this moment she was carefully stepping forward under the leadership of her mother.
She bit her fingers and looked around curiously, looking very cute.
After the big and the small knelt down in the hall, Shen Du got up and said: "Your Majesty, these two people met Weichen outside the city a few days ago, because they looked familiar, they took them in, but I didn't expect that this woman was the descendant of the Su family back then, and she had been Lord Su's maid, as for this doll, ......"
He glanced at Chu Nian meaningfully.
"This doll is the only Su family bloodline alive today."
As soon as these words came out, the palace was in an uproar, and even the emperor at the top frowned.
The Su family's charges have not yet been cleared, and the descendants of the Su family still should not exist in the world, as Shen Dui said is true, this woman and this doll obviously can't survive.
Chu Nian frowned, she looked at the woman holding the little girl silently, and she actually saw a trace of familiarity on the woman's face.
The woman looked flustered, and as soon as Shen Du's words fell, she knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the woman was originally a maid in Mrs. Su's family, and that day Master Su drank too much wine and entered my room in the middle of the night, which led to the loss of the innocence of the woman and left the child, after that, the woman left the Su family under the pretext, and the emperor was clear, and the woman and the child were just victims......
The discussion of the ministers was amplified again, and this time the discussion became the late Su's father.
"I didn't expect Master Su to look so serious on weekdays, and he would do such a beastly thing."
"It can be seen that Lord Su's incorruptible appearance is all pretended, and it seems that the treason of collaborating with the enemy is not fake."
"That's true, heh, the Su family is really well-dressed beasts!"
Chu Nian's eyes turned red, and his gaze turned to Shen Dui, dying with a cold.
It turned out that Shen Dui's intention was not to her, but to point the finger at her father? My father was an honest official all his life, why did he have to bear such slander until he died!
