Chapter 55: The Old Fox

When he resigned, he made it clear that if Nangong Yan was still sitting on the throne of the prince, he would never step into the court half a step!

Many people still remember these words, even Emperor Yan Jing also remembered them, but they didn't say them. He thought that they were all afraid of him, and he was so arrogant for most of the month.

"The old minister said such a thing, but the old minister is to avenge Prime Minister Xue Cheng, who has been wronged for many years, this is doing the right thing for heaven, presumably God will not blame me, what reason do you dare to stand here and accuse me?!" When Old Marquis Lin first saw Nangong Yan appear in front of him, a panic flashed in his heart, but in this field, he desperately wanted to hold on!

Nangong Yan approached him step by step, his face was cold, "Do the right thing for the sky?" The old marquis is alluding to Yanjing for so many years, no one has been in charge, and you need to come back to administer justice after resigning? ”

"The old minister didn't say that, Your Highness doesn't want to steal beams and change pillars!"

A powerful aura came towards him, and Old Marquis Lin's trembling body was almost unsteady.

Sure enough, as soon as Nangong Yan finished saying this, Emperor Yan Jingdi's face had become very ugly, the old fox was scolding him around the corner, how could he not hear it? His persecutive momentum just now made him very unhappy, and at this moment, seeing that he was suppressed by Nangong Yan, he naturally wouldn't stop half a sentence.

"You didn't say that, but that's what you did! If you force your monarch to make a decision above the court, you have committed the rite of overstepping, and you have inherited the title for most of your life, doesn't the old marquis still understand this truth?! ”

Nangong Yan was full of words, forcing the old marquis Lin to retreat again and again. He stabilized his mind and re-pulled out the reason for this matter, "Then since His Highness is back, shouldn't he explain the plot against Prime Minister Xue Cheng back then?!" ”

He didn't believe that Nangong Yan could wipe out this monstrous disaster by rushing back in such a hurry!

"Speaking of this, Old Marquis Lin kept saying that His Highness framed Xue Jingcheng's rebellion, but whether he really rebelled, and how His Highness's jade wrench finger could be in your hand, you only know best, don't you?" His face darkened, and his eyes were sharp, like a sharp sword, staring at him closely.

"Your Royal Highness, your jade wrench finger was torn off by Prime Minister Xue Cheng before he died, and the informant brought it to the old minister, and Prime Minister Xue's blood book is also clearly written, his rebellion was planned by you from beginning to end, and you want to put him to death! When Xuanyu Guifei pushed you to the position of the crown prince, the old minister and Xue Cheng strongly opposed, and then Xuanyu Guifei passed away, and you spread the grudge to the two of us. ”

Old Marquis Lin's face was flushed, and he was trembling with anger.

His remarks caused Nangong Yan to sneer, and his eyes were cold and he took out a sentence from his sleeve, "Don't make the old marquis's conclusion too early, I'll introduce you to the old marquis first." ”

"Ying'er, come in."

He called out to the outside of the hall, and after a while a little came a child of about twelve years old, with two buns on his head, as if he had never seen so many people at once, and he looked a little cowardly, and did not dare to raise his eyes to look at the people.

Seeing the child in front of him with dodging eyes, Old Marquis Lin pinched his cuffs, his eyes were slightly stunned, this child's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Xue Jingcheng.

Despite this, he calmed down and said, "What? Does Your Highness want to fool the emperor and the adults in the court with a child of unknown origin? ”

Nangong Yan sneered at him, his eyes were full of light, and then he walked up to the child, put his hands on his shoulders, and comforted him softly, "Ying'er, don't be afraid, with Brother Yan here, you just need to retell the picture you saw that night eight years ago, and treat it as if you were telling it to Brother Yan again." ”

"Hmm!"

When he saw Nangong Yan's eyes, the cowardice in his eyes was not so strong, and he nodded obediently.

"That night, a great number of officers and soldiers came to the house, and sealed all the gates, and then they began to kill the servants of the house with their swords, and my father ran into my room, and took me away from the window, and found me a hidden corner, and stuffed me in the corner, and took many things to cover me, and he told me to hide in there, and not to make a noise from whatever I saw or heard, and not to run out.

I nodded to him, but before my father could get out of the house, the door was kicked open, and a man in black, with a sword on his neck, said a few words. Vaguely, I only heard him ask his father to write a blood letter, on which it was written that his rebellion was framed by His Royal Highness the Prince, and if his father accepted his will to write the blood letter, he would spare his father's life. But..."

Speaking of this, the child's voice became choked, and tears filled his eyes, Nangong Yan's hands holding his shoulders tightened slightly, and he continued: "But after my father finished writing the blood book, he swung his sword and killed my father. The man in black is not masked, it is him! ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Old Marquis Lin, then turned around and threw himself on Nangong Yan, crying so much that his shoulders trembled slightly.

Above the court, there was an uproar, and the sudden change in the situation made them unable to react for a while.

Old Marquis Lin's face was already as pale as earth, and he reprimanded Xue Ying sharply, "You, you are clearly a person from His Royal Highness the Prince, talking nonsense here, reversing black and white!" ”

Nangong Yan looked at him, took out the jade pendant that Xue Ying was holding in his hand, spread it out and showed it in front of him, "Can Old Marquis Lin recognize this?" ”

That jade pendant, was he killed Xue Jingcheng with a sword that night, was ripped off by Xue Jingcheng, that night the situation was urgent, he returned to the mansion only to find that the jade pendant was gone, when he wanted to run back to the prime minister's mansion to find it, it had been set on fire by the officers and soldiers who went to the execution, he thought that the jade pendant had also been turned into ashes with the fire.

"Old marquis, Weichen remembers, this jade pendant is yours, and Weichen has seen you wear it a few times in the court." An elderly official took a step and said carefully staring at the jade pendant in Nangong Yan's hand.

"Yes, I've also seen the old marquis wear it."

...

Several more adults came out to testify.

A cold sweat was already oozing from Old Marquis Lin's forehead, he held Lin Chaofu's hand tightly, and raised a pair of still sober eyes, "This jade pendant is indeed Lao Chen's, it disappeared many years ago, I don't want it to be secretly taken by His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness keeps saying that this child is Xue Jingcheng's descendant, is there any evidence to prove it?" ”

Nangong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, in the end, it was the patriarch of the two dynasties, this mind was much more stable than ordinary people, and when it came to this, he could still be so calm, he glanced at him and looked at the other officials, "The courtiers who have a good relationship with Xue Jingcheng in the court know that Xue Jingcheng's youngest son has a red birthmark on his back since the day he was born. This, I think the old marquis Lin should also know, right? ”

After he finished speaking, he rolled up the shirt on Xue Ying's back, and in an instant, the face of the official on the top changed again, and there was a red birthmark on his back.

Old Marquis Lin's eyes were dizzy for a while, and he almost fell to the ground, "Grandfather..."Lin Chaofu held him up and called softly.

He stood on his feet and spoke slowly, "Then your..."

But as soon as he said a few words, he was interrupted by Nangong Yan, "As for how His Royal Highness's jade wrench finger was in the old marquis Lin's place, it was not stolen by the old marquis Lin." On the night when the Prime Minister's Mansion was beheaded, as soon as I left the palace, you sneaked into my dormitory, and my secret guards can testify to this. "The secret guards he cultivated were hidden in his dormitory everywhere, and even Emperor Yan Jing didn't know about it, let alone him.

"You! You deliberately lure me in?! Old Marquis Lin pointed at him angrily, he didn't expect that he knew the truth of the whole thing back then, but when he resigned, he didn't say a word, wasn't it just for today?

Nangong Yan sneered, a chill emanating from his body, "It's not me who led you into the game, it's you who take the blame!" Back then, you and Xue Jingcheng deliberately rebelled, so you urged me to ascend to the crown prince, but after you found out about the incident, you put all the charges of rebellion on Xue Jingcheng alone, and asked him to make a false statement and slander the crime on me. ”

Immediately, Emperor Yan Jing slapped the fold in his hand hard, and said sharply: "I didn't expect that the Lin family has been loyal and good for generations, and there is such a traitor as you, which is a great shame for the Lin family!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't listen to His Royal Highness's words, the old minister is wronged, he is wronged!" Old Marquis Lin's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, and Lin Chaofu also knelt down.

"One-sided words?! His Royal Highness has all the evidence, could it be that the old marquis still wants to open his eyes and tell nonsense? ! Nangong Yan's sharp eyes stared at him tightly, making the old marquis Lin feel worried, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty, my grandfather has done his best for the court for most of his life, the emperor once praised him, please let the emperor spare him for the sake of his contribution to the court for so many years! Besides, my grandfather is also old, so I ask the emperor to open up the net! ”

Lin Chaofu bowed and buried his head low.

"Fu'er, how can you? "Before the old marquis Lin confessed his guilt, Lin Chaofu took the blame first, how could he just give up? !"

"Grandfather, grandson can't watch you go to prison..."Lin Chaofu raised his head, his eyes flashed with tears, Lin Laohou is already a handful of years, if he is imprisoned, he will not be able to survive for a few days, besides, his body bones are indeed not very good recently.

"Bold thief, disturb the court, I should have sent you to the prison, so that you will spend the rest of your life in the prison, but considering that you are old and have dedicated yourself to the two generations of the court, I will save you from the pain of prison, but all the orders of the Hou Yefu must be withdrawn!"

Emperor Yan Jing's face was full of anger, and with anger he said the punishment of their ancestors and grandchildren, and then, he glared at the minister who had helped him before, "The other courtiers, each with fifty big boards, have a long memory!" ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor!"

Suddenly, there was a wail above the court.

Nangong Yan looked at the courtiers who were begging for mercy, and his face was full of ridicule, "You should be given a long memory, otherwise you don't know, who is in charge of this court?!" ”

For a while, there were a lot more wails.

After Lin Chaofu helped the old marquis Lin with a gloomy face to leave, Nangong Yan took Xue Ying's hand and walked outside the hall, on the corridor, Xue Ying pulled his hand, looked up and said: "Brother Yan, can you keep Ying'er by your side this time, Ying'er stays alone in that house every day, and she is about to suffocate." ”

Nangong Yan once told him that after his father's matter was over, he would take him to his side to raise him.

"Well, Brother Yan promised you something, and it will definitely be done." Nangong Yan hooked the corners of his lips and touched the back of his head.

The little eunuch beside Emperor Yan Jing walked to Nangong Yan's side, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the emperor invites Your Highness to go to the imperial study." ”

Nangong Yan looked up, and then touched Xue Ying's head again, "I'll let you go back to the East Palace first." ”

"Hmm!"

He nodded obediently.

When Nangong Yan went to Emperor Yan Jing's imperial study, his face had eased a lot, and he thought that the settlement of Xue Jingcheng's case had made his mood much better.

It can be imagined how annoying the old marquis Lin has been with him during this time.

"Father."

He walked up to him and bowed slightly.

"You went back to Yanjing alone, what about Qiqi?" His gaze fell on him, with a little gentleness, not as sharp as before.

"Erchen asked Chu Peiyu to stay there, and when she comes back, he will escort her back." He lowered his head and slowly returned.

Emperor Yan Jing's eyes shook slightly, "So, you came back alone?" ”

"Yes."

He was concise and to the point, without much to say.

Emperor Yan Jingdi's hand clenched slightly, but then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Old Lin matter, thanks to you rushing back in time, otherwise I would have to hurt my muscles for a long time." ”

"My father has worked hard for a long time, so I still have to rest." He still kept his head down, and his words were sincere, not perfunctory.

Although he didn't take a picture of Xue Jingcheng's case for him, it was not for him that he didn't take a picture of the rehashing of Xue Jingcheng's case, but after it dragged on for so many days, Nangong Yan was also a little worried in his heart.

Emperor Yan Jing nodded slightly, and asked tightly, "That kid?" ”

"The child's name is Xue Ying, when Xue Jingcheng's case was sentenced, Erchen felt strange, so he took advantage of the night to sneak into his mansion, and when he went to that time, he happened to see that the child was still alive, so he rescued him."

He opened his mouth to explain to him, without a hint of concealment.

"Hmm."

Emperor Yan Jing answered, and then let him retreat.

Yu Qiqi said according to Nangong Yan, two days after he left, he told her father and mother the news of his departure, "What? Is his illness fake, and he has already returned to Yanjing first? Still letting you hide it from us? ”

The Wing Water King stared at Yu Qiqi in disbelief, and asked several questions in a row, Nangong Yan is the prince of Yanjing, how could he do such a thing.

Yu Qiqi twisted her fingers, not daring to look into the eyes of the two of them, but she still replied cheekily, "Yes, he said that he had urgent matters to deal with when he returned to Yanjing, and he couldn't reveal the news of his return, so his daughter helped him hide this matter." ”

She pursed her lips and added, "However, my daughter didn't mean to deceive you, he went back to Yanjing alone this time, and it was really important to think about it, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go back." ”

Her six elder brothers were also sitting in the hall, and after Yu Zhengyan heard the news, his eyes flashed for a moment with a burst of anxiety, and then returned to normal.

He always thought that Nangong Yan was really sick, so he closed the door, his previous performance had no clue at all, who knew that he would come out suddenly, in the end, he despised him too much, this prince of Yanjing, it was really not that simple!

"Did he say he was in a hurry?"

Only Empress Nanzhao's face really showed anxiety.

"He didn't tell his daughter about this, and he thought it was something that he couldn't publicize to the outside world." Yu Qiqi thought about it, it should be like this, but she would never ask about those things in Nangong Yan's court.

"In this case, he can leave General Chu behind and escort you back, and I think he will also have you in mind."

Thinking about it like this, Empress Nanzhao felt a little relieved again.

"No, he's..." Yu Qiqi's mouth was quick, and she almost told Nangong Yan that she promised to make her a wish, but when she thought about it, she didn't tell them, so she had to follow her wishes, "Maybe yes." ”

"Since he has a hard time, then my father doesn't care about him about this matter." Yishui King sighed, although he felt that Nangong Yan was indeed out of grace by doing this, but he was the prince of Yanjing, and he had important matters to deal with, so he would not easily reveal it to the outside world, and it was reasonable to think about it.

"Ah Qi, do you want to stay a little longer." Empress Nanzhao took her hand, held it in her palm, and asked gently.

Yu Qiqi held her hand slightly, raised her head and said slowly: "In two days, I will also go back, this time I came back to see A-Niang, and now A-Niang's illness is also cured, if I stay longer, I am afraid that I will fall into the mouth when I go back." ”

"Ah Qi is right, she has married to Yanjing, and she has stayed in Nanzhao for too long, and it is not good after all." Knowing that Empress Nanzhao was not very happy, the Winged Water King also sighed with relief.

"Well, good. In those two days, you will accompany A-Niang more. It took her a while to agree.

"Yes, A-Niang."

Yu Qiqi smiled and rubbed into her arms like a kitten.

As soon as he got out of the inner hall, Yu Zhengyan immediately found the attendant who had been staring at Nangong Yan before, and asked sharply, "What's going on?" How do you keep an eye on people? Useless stuff! ”

The attendant immediately knelt in front of him, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Fifth prince, the slave doesn't know what's going on, he has always been very quiet before, who knew that such a thing would be done later, it is not at all like his style when he first came to Nanzhao." ”

His defense, instead of making Yu Zhengyan angry, made the anger he exuded more and more obvious, "That's because you are too stupid to be fooled and you don't know it!" ”

"But, as you said before, he shouldn't be able to play any tricks, so the minion is only, onlyβ€”" The more the attendant spoke, the quieter he became.

"Bastard thing! What kind of bastard are you talking about?! ”

The person kneeling on the ground was questioning his ability, besides, he was still an inconspicuous minion, which naturally made him angry, and he kicked him away, "What kind of dog are you, you dare to question this prince here?!" ”

The attendant was kicked over by him, and immediately knelt down again, "The slave knows it's wrong, the slave knows it's wrong!" ”

"Get out!"

He snorted coldly.

After the old marquis Lin went to the court, Yan Shiqing stayed in the proton mansion and waited for news, and after the court, Qing Yu ran in in with a panicked expression, his face was very scary, "Shiziye, something happened!" ”

"What's wrong? How are they, Old Marquis? He walked up to Qingyu in three or two steps and looked at his frightened face.

Qing Yu settled his mind before he said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came back, and confronted the old Marquis in the court, and the situation of the whole thing changed immediately, the Hou Ye Mansion, the Hou Ye Mansion and the Hou Ye Mansion family were all taken back by the emperor..."

"How so? Isn't it true that Nangong Yan framed Xue Jingcheng for rebellion? The old marquis has his incriminating evidence in his hands! ”

The blood letter and which jade wrench finger, Yan Shiqing has seen it with his own eyes.

"No, it's not true, Lord Shizi, you have fallen for the old marquis! The blood letter he took was written by him when he forced Xue Jingcheng to write, and he has always been the mastermind of the rebellion case back then, but after the matter was revealed, he put all the crimes on Xue Jingcheng's head, and before Xue Jingcheng could denounce him, he was ordered by the emperor to behead his home! ”

Qingyu told him the ins and outs of the whole thing one by one.

"What?"

When Yan Shiqing heard that the reason for the incident turned out to be like this, the whole person was also startled, and his body took a step back.

"Old Marquis Lin, it's an old fox, he wants to drag the prince into the water!" Qingyu grabbed his wrist and said indignantly.

Yan Shiqing's eyes were full of surprise, and he muttered, "But at the beginning..."It was he who wanted to form an alliance with him at the beginning, but now that it is like this, isn't it his own fault?" ...

Then, he thought about it again, and the shock on the corner of his mouth turned into a coldness, "It seems that the person who gave us the fake news at the beginning was not the person from Xichu, but the person from the old marquis Lin, he just wanted to make us mistakenly think that the people in this Yanjing City who want us to be sad are not only Nangong Yan, but also others, so that our desire to make friends with him will become stronger and stronger." ”

Qing Yu opened his mouth, his eyes stunned, "I didn't think that Old Marquis Lin would be such a person..."

Yan Shiqing sneered twice, and a chill ran down his spine, the people who were the elders of the two dynasties were different, and the methods of calculating people were very clever.

After a while, Qing Yu asked softly, "The Hou Ye's Mansion has been sealed, so won't Miss Lin have to suffer in the future?" She is sincere to Yan Shiqing.

"It's her life, and I can't help her."

Thinking that he was being used by the old marquis Lin, Yan Shiqing's eyes did not have a little warmth, and it was the same when he mentioned Lin Chaoge at this moment.

Qingyu lowered his head and said no more.

Soon after Xue Ying was sent back to the East Palace, Nangong Yan also returned, and the attendant told him that Xue Ying was taken to the Changhuan Hall by Lu Yin.

He nodded slightly, and walked towards the Changhuan Palace, and as soon as he walked outside the hall, he heard the laughter of the green chant.
