Chapter 300: False and False, True and False
"Is that true?"
Because of his serious injury, Jin Rongzhong, who was recuperating at home, heard the eldest son of his current Zhongshu Zuo Cheng claim that after the king of Yangquan County was edicted into the palace, he turned over and sat up, and the wound on the old waist almost collapsed.
Half a ring, he asked that sentence, and when his son confirmed it again, his expression suddenly sank.
Could it be that the Holy Lord actually sensed the rumors from Yao Hui's death?
At the moment, I don't know if Yu Feng has arrived in Hunan or not, although there is a holy edict from the Son of Heaven, Yu Feng does not dare not cong, but without Yuan Qi's letter to confirm, Jin Rongzhong can never feel at ease.
Yu Feng, but a crucial chess piece in his hand!
But if the Holy One has already doubted it......
I had to plan in advance!
"Call Huo Zhen!" Jin Rongzhong grabbed it away and wanted to step forward to help his son, endured the pain and sat up, and put on a big coat.
But I suddenly heard that the king of Yangquan County was coming!
At this juncture, the king of Yangquan County actually came to the door in a grand manner? Jin Rongzhong became more and more nervous and lonely.
When he saw that the king of Yangquan County was full of anxiety, Jin Rongzhong was even more frightened, and he supported his waist with one hand, and there were already bean sweat grains on his forehead.
"Xianggong, I just learned that the saint has ears and eyes in the county king's mansion, Mr. Huo has come to the door several times, which has caused the saint to be suspicious, and today he ordered me to enter the palace, but he actually asked about the green apple." Although the north wind is getting stronger outside, the king of Yangquan County is also full of hot sweat, and he is straight to the point.
Huo Zhen, who heard the news, couldn't help but slander - the king of Yangquan County was too naΓ―ve, with his identity, how could the saint not have eyes and ears to keep an eye on him, that is, he had already expected it, so he found a green apple as an excuse, and the saint was puzzled, and he was far from guessing the whole plan, so why panic?
Jin Xiang hurriedly asked, "What does the Holy One mean?" β
The king of Yangquan wiped his sweat: "I finally covered up the past...... But the saint still has doubts. β
Huo Zhen was very impatient: "This is natural, but the king of the county knows that the saint is suspicious, why did he still come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" β
"It is the Holy Command." The king of Yangquan County said: "Xianggong, because of the assassination of the Third Highness, the Holy Lord is afraid that he will not be able to hold it anymore. β
"Qin Huaiyu, that villain!" Jin Xiang was furious: "It's him who framed the old man!" β
"The Holy One asked me to come today, and specially instructed him to ask if his injuries could improve, which should be a temptation." The King of Yangquan County was full of worry in his eyebrows: "I'm afraid that it won't be long if it is delayed." β
"In this way, I have to plan in advance!" Jin Rongzhong made a decisive decision, gritting his teeth for a while: "I can't wait for the letter from Xiangzhou to come, the king of the county is at ease, the old man has already made arrangements, as long as you arrive in Linzhang, you can be safe." β
Jin Rongzhong's younger brother once led the Linzhang Guard, although he died of illness ten years ago, but the eldest son attacked his father's position, and now he is still in charge of the Linzhang Guard, and the surrounding state capitals, there is no shortage of Jin Rongzhong's hand-drawn guards officers, it is also this operation, in addition to the secondary forces of Yuan Qi's lineage, although it cannot confront most of the defenders of Zhili and Jingwei, but in a short period of time to keep Jin Xiang's equal safety, there is still a lot of leeway.
It is precisely because Jin Rongzhong has more than 10,000 reserve forces that he is not afraid that the Son of Heaven will ignore public opinion and suddenly attack him.
He still has two sons-in-law, serving as the governor of other counties, and it is not so easy for the Son of Heaven to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
The king of Yangquan County was very worried: "As soon as I leave like this, I will put Jin Xiang in danger." β
Huo Zhen secretly rolled his eyes, but his tone was very solemn: "Although Yu Feng is about to enter the urn at the moment, Wei Guogong still has to hurry, and there are many matters that have to be arranged properly, even if the situation is forced, but he is also anxious, in his opinion, although the saint is suspicious, he is also afraid of the momentum behind Xiang Gong, and he will not act rashly, but just in case, Xiang Gong has to leave the capital early, and there is a county king, and he can't stay in Kyoto for a long time." β
Jin Rong bowed his head heavily: "The king of the county will return to his life tomorrow, it can be said that the old man has no big trouble, temporarily dispel the saint's defense, and the king of the county does not need to worry about the rest of the matter, with the old man's arrangement, it will definitely be safe." β
After getting Jin Rongzhong's words, the king of Yangquan seemed to have confidence, and he stayed for a long time, so he left and left.
But when he stepped on the green skull golden saddle, the corners of his eyes gradually became cold-
As Yu Feng expected, Jin Rongzhong would help him "evacuate" Kyoto on the grounds of safety, and he was convicted of this crime of rebellion!
And once he listens to the letter and falls into the hands of the Linzhang Jinxiang forces, he will be under the sword, where is life and death still up to him?
Not to mention Jin Rongzhong's intensive planning, but to say that Qin Xiang deserves the "signal" of the Son of Heaven, it is also resolute, but in a few days, he caught a "fish that slipped through the net", and "tortured to extract a confession", and obtained the confession that Jin Rongzhong instructed the dead man to assassinate the prince.
The sound of the ministers arguing in the main hall of Qianming Palace on this day was deafening.
Of course, Qin Xiang's henchmen insisted that "the evidence of the crime is conclusive", while Jin Xiang's henchmen naturally questioned the "framing and slander".
Zuo Cheng Jin Ming decided to kowtow and plead, insisting that his father Jin Rongzhong was innocent, so that he swore to the sky, wept bitterly, counted the merits of the Jin family for three generations, touching the heart, and was very shocking, causing a group of "loyal ministers and good generals" to kneel down, and call on the voice of the saint to almost overturn the caisson of the main hall.
"I had heard that Jin Xiang's injuries were no longer serious, so he immediately came to confront the sinner in public." The Son of Heaven threw a word, and immediately stopped crying, scolding, and-for-tat.
Qin Xiang's henchmen were naturally overjoyed, thinking that the Holy Lord had made a decision, and this time there must be no return in the Golden Banyan Sect.
And the Jinxiang henchmen also expected it, and secretly clenched their fists at the moment, preparing to "fight to the death".
Jin Rongzhong came very "stumbling", in just one month, he lost more than one circle, and even the round neck red official robe hung on his body, it also had a bit of "elegant and empty" meaning.
It's fun to confront in public.
Because Qin Xiang didn't know the details of the assassination of the third prince, and he couldn't even get the exact location, the fourth prince had already planned to sit idly by, so he would not reveal his knowledge and give Qin Xiang any guidance.
The reason why Qin Xiang dared to come up with a "living evidence" without knowing the reason was nothing more than that he thought that he had already "tacitly agreed" with the saint, but it was just a formality, how could he delve into it, he thought it was originally good, but now, the Son of Heaven's mind has already changed.
Therefore, it is destined to be a farce.
Of course, Jin Rongzhong kowtowed and shouted injustice, and his attitude was very sincere - he really did not plot to kill the three princes, of course, he was not afraid of false accusations and slander, and even accused himself of never seeing this person, and also called the assassin a dead man, and there was no reason to confess easily, and he must be colluded by others and spew blood.
When the Son of Heaven waited for Jin Rong to play a role, he asked the assassin where he had committed the assassination that day, and how many accomplices there were, and where were they now?
Qin Xiangru was thundered.
The third prince of the party raised his eyebrows, and his expression was a little subtle - the saint is this, and he wants to redress the grievances of Jin Xiang? The situation is getting more and more difficult to understand right now.
The poor assassin was, of course, dumbfounded.
Jin Rongzhong was overjoyed, and said in his heart that Qin Huaiyu, a pig, is so full of loopholes when looking for a personal certificate, he is actually a waste who knows nothing! After all, it involves the prince, how can the saint take it lightly? Qin Huaiyu lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
Immediately, morale soared, and he even covered his waist and scolded someone for framing!
The Son of Heaven looked very solemn, his eyelids were slight, and his eyes were like cold electricity.
The "assassin" was a dead man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately touched the pillar and died.
The house was full of surprise.
The saint passed by lightly, pointed at Qin Xiang and said, "Aiqing was deceived by someone, and this person was obviously instructed by someone. β
Where is Jin Rongzhong willing to obey, and immediately rebel against Qin Xiang is the real murderer.
But the Holy One made a clear judgment: "If this is the case, why does this witness not know what happened?" In my opinion, Qin Xiang was just being used, even if he wanted to defile Aiqing, he would not do such a shallow and ugly plan. β
Qin Xiang burst into tears: Your Majesty Shengming...... Wechen is not "being used", but ...... What is your majesty's intention?
Qin Xiangzheng, who was "played" by the Son of Heaven, was full of suspicion, but the henchmen on the side had already woken up from a dream.
Jin Xiang is naturally an old trick again, a "improper recommendation", "negligence" and other active confessions, only one bite of the ignorance of Shi De's trip, sneering in his heart: only based on Shi De's words, can never be accurate, Huo Qi is a trustworthy, will not bite him out, and the saint will not be in front of everyone, implicated in Chang Xinbo and other witnesses, the chief judge Yu Feng is not present, the words of the people present are just speculation, if you change a weak person, you will inevitably be beaten by the public, but he is not a soft man, It's up to you.
A fierce eye.
followed by a group of henchmen kneeling on the ground, staging a gambling curse and swearing, nothing more than saying how loyal the Jin family was, counting the old merits, and trying to ensure that Jin Xiang would not be in the same stream as Shi De, and since the saint has not yet decided, and the prince of Chu who is in charge of this case has not returned to Beijing for the time being, how can Jin Xiang be hastily convicted?
Jin Rongzhong was in tears, and shouted: "Stop! Shi De is a hand-picked by Weichen, and he does this illegal thing, and Weichen cannot escape the blame. Then he handed over a copy, pleaded for his guilt, said that he had no shame to serve as prime minister, and implored the saint to choose another virtuous man, but he wanted to resign from the official position and deal with the crime.
Clearly thinking about the self-unloading of the black yarn for a hundred, and retreating? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
Qin Xiang's henchmen are waiting to refute.
The Son of Heaven has refused: "Why should Aiqing be like this, the case of Bingzhou is still inconclusive, I want to wait for the prince to return to Beijing from Xiangzhou, and then try the case in person, the truth will be known at that time, if Aiqing is innocent, although there is the crime of improper recommendation, it should be taken lightly if it is remembered for the great merits of the Jin family." β
Of course, Jin Rongzhong will not be able to appreciate this, how can the case of the state be easily revealed? Chang Xinbo and others must have bitten him out! It's just that Yu Feng has not returned, and the Son of Heaven can't control the situation in Hunan, and he doesn't want to take risks.
Hmph, this plan to capture the old and indulge, hypocrisy and gentleness, the Son of Heaven really uses it freely.
Jin Rong sneered, but his face was full of pain, and he once again claimed that he was to blame, and said that although his injuries were good, he was too old to bear the responsibility, and he was determined to say goodbye to old age.
Of course, he also understood that the Son of Heaven would not allow him to retreat.
There are also party henchmen who strongly persuade Jin Xiang not to ignore the monarchy, and the saint will not be deceived by others.
Jin Xiang lamented: "The old minister is convinced that the Holy Lord will be able to openly try the case of merging the state, but he really can't support it, and now he only hopes to tell the old man to return to his hometown." β
The saint was forced to have no choice but to allow Jin Xiang to take a "long vacation" and let him recuperate at home.
In this case, even if Jin Xiang leaves Beijing to go to another garden to "recuperate", the Son of Heaven can't stop it.
This is the ultimate goal of today's "singing and reading".
Jin Xiangru was relieved.
And the courtiers present, where did they know that Jin Xiang had the heart of rebellion, and they still thought that Jin Xiang was retreating to advance and strive for God's mercy.
Of course, Jin Xiang never expected that for the Son of Heaven, it was also the result of great happiness.
A few days later, Jin Xiang left Beijing with his family and family in a low-key manner, "recuperation" and "enjoying a long vacation".
Of course, several sons who were officials in the court still stayed in Jinyang for the time being to hide people's eyes.
The situation in the imperial court is changing, and the situation is dark and difficult to judge.
This early winter in Jinyangjing is shrouded in a very delicate atmosphere.
The beautiful scenery finally ushered in her ceremony, and on this day, there was a sudden fall of the first snow.
Far away in Xiangzhou, there is also snow, fluttering and spreading.
Outside the city gate, Yu Feng got off the carriage and rode far away, wearing a silver crown in red clothes, and a stone blue cloak tied on his shoulders, sassy in the wind.
is not wearing iron armor, there is already a majestic person rushing to the face, and it should be Yuan Qi, the capital of Hunan, who greeted him personally.
Yu Feng curled the corners of his lips lightly, spread out his palms and took a few pieces of white.
It's snowing......
