Chapter 278: Intercession
The next day, above the lobby of the Criminal Department, Lu Song looked at the white porcelain vase in the hall, Lu You standing in the hall, and an old man who sold clay after Lu Song came to Beijing, he still remembered that the old man had no time to avoid the carriage, he and Lu Song rescued together, and then in order to express her gratitude, she pinched two clay figures according to the appearance of the two, and engraved the names of the two on them to him and him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing miserably, it turned out that everything had already been decided, and he thought that except for his younger brother, he had done everything without revealing anything, after all, this old man was over sixty years old back then, and he hadn't appeared again for twenty years, who dared to guarantee that he was still alive? Even if he is alive, who can say that he is not confused?
But now it seems that this old man is not only alive and well, but also in good spirits, and the word confused really has nothing to do with him.
"Lu Song, are you guilty?" The eldest grandson slapped the shocked wood and said sharply.
"Naturally, I confess all the crimes, killing Lu Song, slaughtering Lu Village, sending people to hunt down and kill the young Qing Changgui, and the assassination of Qingfu not long ago were all committed by me."
Seeing him so happy, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then ordered him to explain all the details one by one, and after sorting it out, the eldest grandson Xu sent it to Emperor Zhaowen's table, who opened the copy, and after reading it carefully, he slapped the table angrily, and only said: "Lose all conscience, such scum has been an official in my dynasty for 20 years, it is really the sorrow of my dynasty!"
"The emperor is angry, take care of your body." Li Sheng hurriedly said.
"No problem! Busy handing over the decree, such a person with corrupt character will be punished by the nine tribes! β
"No, minionβ"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qin, the old marquis of Changfu ask to see you!" Xiao Zhou walked in quickly.
Emperor Zhaowen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the old Marquis of Wu often came to see him has been accustomed to it, and the Marquis of Qin has never entered the court half a step since he retired, and now the two of them are here hand in hand, so what's the matter?
"Yo, Qinhou is Princess Zhenyu's grandfather? He actually came, it's really rare, there must be something here, the emperor wants to see it? β
When Emperor Zhaowen heard the word Zhenyu, he couldn't help but think of Qingyan, this little girl hadn't seen her for a long time, her cleverness and ghost cleverness were quite appreciative even when she was on the pilgrimage: "Biography!"
After a while, Qing Sanyuan and Chang Shizhong walked in, saluted Emperor Zhaowen, and after talking for a while, the former said: "Your Majesty, I won't tell you that the minister is not coming alone this time."
"This is nature, isn't there still Chang Qing?"
"Your Majesty, this old stubborn man also said such a sentence when he went to the minister's mansion, so he is not referring to the minister!" Chang Shizhong shook his head and smiled.
"Oh? Who is that? Emperor Zhaowen wondered.
"Lu Song's own brother Lu You!"
"Is that him? Even if you don't bring him, I want to see him! "Emperor Zhaowen said.
Not long after Lu You walked in and saluted him, he looked at this somewhat familiar face quietly, and when he saw this face, he could think of Lu Song, and the anger in his heart quietly grew.
"You really resemble your brother." Emperor Zhaowen said.
Qing Sanyuan and Chang Shizhong on the side heard this, looked at each other and sighed silently, it seems that Lu You has to pay some price if he wants to achieve his wish.
Lu You was also mentally prepared when he heard this, so he settled down and said: "The grass people and the elder brother are like fathers."
"What are you doing today?"
"The grass people want to ask the emperor to spare his brother's children!"
Bang β
His voice fell, and the anger of Emperor Zhaowen exploded, throwing the teacup he had just picked up on the ground, the hot tea and the broken teacup fell to the ground, Qing Sanyuan and Chang Shizhong hurriedly knelt down, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while.
"If you are an important witness in this case, you must know the facts of the case, and even then you have to plead for it?"
"Yes!"
Emperor Zhaowen saw that his words were sincere and his eyes were firm, so he knew that he had made up his mind, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "You have made a lot of meritorious contributions in the battle of Annam, and you are an important witness in the case of the true and false champions. Do you know that since your brother's daughter married into the prince's mansion, the princess has been pregnant twice, but both of them had accidental miscarriages, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with her? β
Emperor Zhaowen Gujing said these things without waves, but everyone could feel the anger hidden in them, thinking that if it weren't for Lu You's merits, he would have been blasted out of the hall at this moment, how could he still hear these heart-wrenching words?
"The grass people don't want any rewards, as long as the emperor can open the net, from now on, the elder brothers and descendants will be educated by the grass people, if they can't become useful people, the grass people will never allow them to step out of Lujia Village." Lu You also knew the sin was heavy, so he put his head on the ground and pleaded loudly.
"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there is a concubine in Lu Song's family, two concubines, the concubine has always been generous, and there is no quarrel with the world, the concubine embroiders and reads all day long, and she does not dare to step out of the house without the order of her parents, and the three of them don't understand anything, and then Lu You will educate them at this moment, they will definitely be able to embark on the right path, rather than taking their lives, it is better to train them to be useful people, and I hope the emperor will think twice!" Chang Shi Zhongdao.
"Your Majesty, the crown princess is the eldest granddaughter of the minister, the minister loves her well, and the ministers all know what she has suffered, the side concubine is a concubine, and she is deeply influenced by her parents, and it is expected that the misbehavior is not enough, but these concubines are a little different, and they can be edified, the emperor may wish to raise his noble hand, and let the subjects of the world see how extraordinary the emperor's mind and bearing are." Qing Sanyuan Road.
"You are more than one will say, he can be regarded as a gentleman in the open, can be righteous and upright, can know that he is upright, and this dynasty is definitely a great help, and now what he says is to serve as a teacher of education for the children of his elder brother's descendants, if he really allows him, then how can he do his best for me? How to do your best for the Celestial Empire? β
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!" Xiao Zhou walked in and said.
"What is he here for? Didn't you come to intercede? Emperor Zhaowen's face sank.
"The slave doesn't know what is going on, but it seems to be unhappy to see His Highness!" Xiao Zhou said cautiously, Li Sheng heard this, and glared at him with disgust.
"Let him in!" Emperor Zhaowen didn't care about his mouth.
"The son of the emperor greets his father!"
"Get up and speak!"
"Yes! The father and sons have found out that the crown princess's two miscarriages were caused by the side concubine Lu, and what Mama Wang did was also coerced by her, including the death of Mama Wang's brother in prison. β
Bang - Emperor Zhaowen slapped the table angrily, looked at the three people pleading below, trembled his fingers and almost shouted: "Listen, listen!" And then you have to intercede for them? Today, the crown princess has a miscarriage, and because of the reproduction of the imperial heir, she will be able to slaughter innocents tomorrow. β
Lu You's color changed immediately, he really didn't expect that the eldest brother's daughter would do such a cruel thing, it was already difficult to intercede, and now it is even more difficult, but he can't give up, no matter what, he wants to keep his brother's bloodline:
"Your Majesty, the grass people know that they shouldn't intercede for them, but the grass people are their uncles, the grass people really can't see death and not save them, the elder brother made a big mistake, he died innocently, the side concubine Niangniang's hands were stained with blood, and misconduct should also be severely punished, but the other children are really innocent. The grass people also know the emperor's worries, if the emperor gives the grass people ten years, if they can't educate them after ten years, and then talk about the death penalty, the grass people will not stop it, and in the past ten years, the emperor can send people to monitor Lujia Village, as long as they have the slightest misconduct, they will be executed immediately. β
His words moved the people present, ten years, who has a few decades, and he is willing to pay ten years for these people, and trapped in Lujia Village, saying that it is sparing their lives, but it is just a probation, as long as there is a little bit of difference, it is possible to take their lives, and the pampered people have been kept alive in the poor countryside, and they have to be educated and monitored, how long can they endure this kind of life? Will he receive the love of his uncle, whom he met for the first time?
"Father, when the son came here, the side concubine Lu was already desperate, afraid of interrogation and torture, so she hanged herself in Yun'e Pavilion, when she came here, the crown princess once said to her son: She hated Lu very much, but when people died, her hatred was gone, so she didn't want anyone's life anymore, she only hoped that this mercy could bring her good luck and give birth to an heir earlier. It is the rest of the Yi Lu family whether they live or die, and the sons and princesses don't care. β
Emperor Zhaowen's eyes shrank, and he suddenly understood the meaning of the crown prince and the crown princess, and they did not stay when they were pregnant twice, which made the two pay more attention to good deeds and good deeds, in order to keep the heirs safe, thinking of this, he looked at Lu You below and sighed: "That's it!" If you are the heir of the emperor, you will spare their lives first, and then look at their conduct after ten years! β
"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!" Lu You couldn't help kowtowing in gratitude, and then withdrew from the imperial study with Chang Shizhong and Qing Sanyuan.
Li Sheng walked out quietly, grabbed the two old men and said: "The emperor's health has been getting worse and worse recently, Qinhou and Wuhou have time to come to the palace to talk to his old man, and when the mood is good, the body can be better!"
"What Mr. Li said is, we understand, the emperor still needs you to bother here!" Qing Sanyuan Road.
"This is all as it should be, thanks to Princess Zhenyu who found Imperial Doctor Yun, otherwise, don't talk about this, the two Hou Ye will go slowly."
"Farewell!" The two of them arched their hands to him and walked towards the palace gate.
Li Sheng looked at the distant backs of the two and muttered, "I just hope the news comes earlier!"
The three of them walked out of the palace gate and got into the carriage, and Lu You knelt down in the car: "Thank you two for making it happen!"
"Hurry up! We don't have to be so polite, you have some friendship with Yan'er and Tianyou, and the most important thing is that your act of being upright and righteous in killing relatives makes us understand that you are a person worthy of help. Chang Shizhong hurriedly pulled him up.
"Not bad! You are a reliable one, and I believe that those three children will be able to get on the right path under your education, but after all, they are pampered, and you must have to work a lot of effort. β
"No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up, and I believe that after this incident, they will definitely grow up a lot."
Hearing this, the two nodded, what they are facing this time is the realm of life and death, if they can't make progress, they can only say that they can't be taught, and it's not a pity to die. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "General: Mrs. is Bad Again", " ", talk about life, find a confidant~
