Chapter 300: Can Murder Pay for Your Life?
Seeing Baili Qingcang coming, everyone saluted one after another, and out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of the prince following him, many people had nothing on their faces, but their hearts were full of turbulence.
The group of people who supported the queen and the prince before have been forced to death by the emperor, and the rest of these people, except for a small number of neutral parties, are all strongly in favor of abolishing the prince, and now depending on the emperor's meaning, is this prince abolished?
Many officials are worried, if the emperor really doesn't abolish the prince on a whim, will they still have a good end?
Shen Ninghua took in the performance of various officials, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: My father is really a good skill, a simple move forced a large number of princelings to death, and now it is used to force other parties.
At that time, even if some officials have other ideas, they will inevitably be pressed to the bottom of their hearts, and the court will become the emperor's hall!
Thinking of this result, Shen Ninghua couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, sometimes he was too arbitrary, and it was not necessarily a good thing.
The prince Baili Jinyi was wearing a white filial piety dress, without any other decorations on his body, and his whole popularity was calm, and there was a sense of tranquility that had washed away the lead.
He didn't cry out loud, but stepped forward and knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and there was no sound in the whole set of movements, and even the tears flowed down quietly. There was clearly no sound, but everyone could feel the endless sadness, which made people think of the sentence:
Great love is silent, great compassion is silent......
Baili Qingcang looked at him with pity on his face: "Prince, the deceased is gone, although you are sad, you must also pay attention to your body." ”
The prince turned around and saluted to Baili Qingcang: "Father, my mother also said before she died, my son's virtue is at a loss, and I am not qualified to continue to assume the position of the prince, please depose my position and allow my son to guard the imperial tomb for his mother." ”
Bai Li Qing frowned violently: "What are you talking about!" I haven't deposed you yet, you are the crown prince of Da'anguo, even if Zhao is your biological mother, but she has been deposed after all, and she is not qualified to let you guard the imperial tomb for her. ”
"Father, the son has no face to face his father, but he is unwilling to stay away from his father's side, stationing in the imperial tomb is the best choice, please ask my father for permission."
"I said that it is not allowed, but it is not allowed, you have to say it again."
"Your Majesty," Yushitai Shangshu stood up, "Today is the funeral of the queen's mother, Weichen shouldn't have spoken, but the previous rebellion existed, how can it be said that it will be erased?"
As a speech official, the minister has to talk about the injustice of the court, the emperor only disposed of the queen alone, but now he ignores the prince, even if the emperor loves the prince, can such a major event as rebellion be easily erased? ”
Baili Qingcang's face was ugly, and Baili Jinyi on the side turned around: "What Lord Qi said is reasonable, Father, the matter is irreparable......"
"How can it be irretrievable?" An old voice came in, full of anger.
Feng Shi was ordered to serve, his back was slightly carried, and he walked in step by step, looking at the coffin in the hall. Tears flashed: "Daughter, my poor daughter ......"
Shen Ninghua was shocked, Feng Shi ......
At the beginning, the emperor imprisoned the entire Zhao family in the prison, but he only let Feng go, because Feng had been his grandmother, and he was already eighty years old, so he didn't do anything because of this affection, but he didn't expect her to come.
Feng's hair was gray, and his whole person was so thin that he was almost only bones, but his slightly sunken eyes were extremely bright, and he looked a little penetrating: "The sinner woman sees the emperor, and he sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Grandmother." Baili Jinyi stepped forward to support her, and finally couldn't help but tremble with tears streaming down her lips.
Feng Shi raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and his face was full of determination: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the old man came here today to seek justice, and see if there is still fairness in this world!" ”
After speaking, she stepped forward and gently stroked the coffin of Jin Si Nanmu, and couldn't help her tears: "Your Majesty, the sinner woman came today and wanted to ask you a question." ”
Baili Qingcang's expression was deep: "You say." ”
Feng Shi turned around, his eyes swept around the people in the main hall, sneered, and raised his voice: "Killing people is worth paying for their lives?" ”
"According to the law of Da'anguo, killing people will naturally pay for their lives." Baili Qingcang was resolute.
"Okay, then the sinner woman asks another question, is the law of Da'an not allowed to be blasphemed?"
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the laws of Da'an Kingdom naturally cannot be blasphemed, and no one is an exception!"
"Good!" Feng Shi shouted loudly, and his face turned red under excitement, "Then the sinner doesn't understand a little, the virtuous concubine poisoned my daughter, why did the emperor connive at her to get away with it?" Is she going to be above the laws of Da'anguo? ”
Shen Ninghua's heart trembled, and he looked at Baili Junyi opposite, for fear that he would not be able to bear it.
Baili Qingcang's breath was cold: "There is another hidden situation in this matter, I have already sent someone to investigate, and when the investigation is clear, I will naturally deal with it." ”
"There is another secret, what can be more than my daughter's grievances?" Feng Shi paused word by word, full of grief and indignation, she took out a stack of letters from her sleeve, opened them tremblingly, and spread them on the ground one by one.
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes are the fault of the sinner, and my daughter Huiying is wronged! She never thought of rebellion, it was the sinner who was too greedy, and she always wanted to take the Zhao family to the next level, she was for the people of the world, for the emperor......"
She finished laying out the last letters, knelt heavily on the ground, and wept heartbreakingly as she looked at them:
"Since last year, Huiying has been aware of the sinner's plan, and has been writing letters to persuade her, but the sinner has been ignoring it, which forced her to make this decision, she is a fool, a complete fool, she thought that letting the emperor abolish her queen and abolish her son's crown prince position would make the Zhao family die, so she directed and acted in a big drama of rebellion."
The officials blew up the pot at once:
"How is this possible?"
"Yes, what's the benefit of the queen doing this?"
"It's too strong, is it because the family has other thoughts, so they have to solve it by plotting against it?"
"That is, as the queen, it is not easy for her to suppress the Zhao family, you must know that rebellion is to punish the nine clans, and it doesn't make sense to use such a drastic way."
Hearing the voices of discussion around him, Feng Shi's eyes turned red suddenly, and he shouted at everyone:
"What do you know? Do you know what my Zhao family has prepared? Hahaha, there are hundreds of catties of arsenic buried in the back garden of Zhao's mansion, as long as it is sprinkled in the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, it can poison most of the people in Kyoto, and the people can drink the water there.
Moreover, there are nails of the Zhao family in the north camp, northwest camp, and south camp of the city, and there is arsenic and frost on the body, which is enough to poison most of the soldiers, as long as the Zhao family launches, the entire Kyoto will become a dead city. ”
"What...... What the? ”
Baili Qingcang's face turned pale, and he shouted at the dragon scale army outside the door: "Someone!" ”
More than a dozen dragon scale soldiers ran in quickly, the long swords in their hands aimed at the Feng clan, and they only waited for Baili Qingcang to give an order, and then took her down.
Feng laughed, and his smile was full of joy:
"I didn't expect it, none of you thought of it, that's why Hui Ying didn't dare to mess around, because the old body warned her that if she dared to be unfavorable to the Zhao family, she would do it directly, even if it was unsuccessful, she would ruin most of Kyoto!"
Because of anger, the flesh on Baili Qingcang's face trembled a little: "Zhao family, what a Zhao family!" ”
The prince's face was full of pain, and he stepped forward to support Baili Qingcang, but he pushed him away, so he had to plead with Feng:
"Grandmother, don't talk about it, didn't you promise me and my mother? Never talk about these things again! ”
"I'm going to say, why don't I say it?" Feng Shi turned to look at the red coffin, his face was full of madness, "If the emperor deals with it fairly and kills the virtuous concubine, I will enter the coffin with this secret, but unfortunately the murderer is still at large, why can't I avenge my daughter?" ”
Bu Yuntian, who was dressed in a concubine's costume, walked in, she dressed up carefully, and her face full of scars looked much gentler: "Avenge your daughter?" This palace is here, how do you want to avenge your grievances? ”
Baili Junyi got up and walked quickly to Bu Yuntian's side: "Mother." ”
Shen Ninghua followed behind Baili Junyi and silently expressed his support.
Bu Yun tilted his head: "The mother concubine does things alone, it has nothing to do with you, the bowl of medicine that poisoned Zhao Huiying was I asked people to pour it down for her, but I didn't know that it was a bowl of poison that could kill people, I just asked people to pour her medicine to make her weak." ”
Feng Shi stared at Bu Yuntian, his eyes were red: "Hehe, it's funny, my daughter died at your hands, and you still have to make a high-sounding quibble?" ”
Bu Yuntian sneered: "The great crime of rebellion can make you say that you have become a country and a people, and this palace is just being used by others, and after killing a depose, what's the big deal?" ”
"What the old man said is the truth, all the evidence is here, but you have no basis for what you say, who can testify to you?"
"Evidence? Hehe, it's just some letters, you dare to say it's evidence, who knows if this was arranged by Zhao Huiying in advance, in order to avoid being punished after failure? If what you say is true, then good, hand over the list of personnel of Biyun Pavilion and Qingtian Pavilion, and then let the emperor execute them one by one, and the palace will admit your evidence! ”
Baili Qingcang was about to stop the two of them, but when he heard Bu Yuntian's words, he didn't speak.
The power of Biyun Pavilion and Qingtian Pavilion made him jealous, the queen died, and he didn't know where the list went, if the Feng family really handed over the list, then her words were still a little bit credible.
Feng laughed out loud:
"Hahaha, Biyun Pavilion has always been in charge of the old body, Qingtian Pavilion was in the hands of the deceased husband at the beginning, and it was passed on to Zhao Kun after he passed away, but it's a pity that the one who is not angry is too cowardly, and he can't grasp it when he acts well. Now that the old woman's daughter is dead, and the Zhao family has been killed overnight, what's the use of keeping these two forces......"
Baili Qingcang's eyes lit up, and his eyes burst into a burst of light, faintly implying anticipation.
Feng Shi stared at Bu Yuntian with hatred: "It's okay for me to hand over the list, but what about you after that?" ”
"You hand over the list and prove that the people above are accurate, and this palace will die in front of you!"
