Forty-one, the wild goose is in the water, and the fish is in the clouds

Xuantianwei under the command of the emperor checked back and forth, and never found out the real culprit behind the murder of the queen. The emperor closed the true cause of the queen's death to the outside world, only saying that the queen died of heart failure due to overwork.

Most of the people in the palace were also silent about this matter, and the death of the queen seemed to be gradually forgotten by people. Among these people, it does not include the three brothers Yiyou, Zhenxue, and Nangong Chen.

The queen's funeral was not very grand, and the queen was stabbed to death in the palace, and the emperor was not in the mood to hold a funeral for her. If it weren't for the special status of the queen, it is difficult to say that the queen would not have been thrown into the well directly, but would have fallen clean.

The love of the emperor comes and goes quickly, and the impact of the death of the queen is nothing more than strengthening the vigilance in the palace and setting up a new queen.

Just when people thought that the matter between the second prince and the Song family had been settled, they didn't expect things to suddenly take a turn for the better.

A secret letter of unknown origin was handed over to the emperor, and the contents of the letter made all the unreasonableness that had happened recently reasonable.

What's more, the letter gave the emperor the reason he wanted, and it only took the emperor's result to end all this. As soon as this letter came out, it stirred up a thousand waves in the originally undercurrent of the court.

Everything suddenly pointed to the Lu family overnight. Even the Song family, who had already gone to the guillotine, was able to be freed from death row because of this letter.

But except for the emperor, no one knew the specific content of the letter. For a moment, the people in the court were panicked, for fear that the content of the letter would implicate them.

I have to say that the arrival of this letter did dilute people's attention to the queen's violent death. However, these things did not affect the people of Princess Changning's Mansion in the slightest, and for the Princess's Mansion, the only thing worth being happy about was probably the safe return of the green girl.

Green was found on the third day of her disappearance by Autumn in a pharmacy under the roots of Xicheng. When Autumn saw the green, the greenman was still in a coma, but fortunately there were no external injuries, and it seemed that he was just overly frightened.

When Luyi woke up, Yiyou was sitting next to her, and Qiuyi took care of Luyi carefully and brought her hot meat porridge.

"Master," Lu Yi saw that he was leisurely beside him, and hurriedly got up and wanted to salute.

Yiyou stopped her from getting up in time, "Don't get up," Yiyou helped Luyi to lie down again, brushed away the messy hair on Luyi's forehead, and sighed slightly, "You have suffered in the past two days." ”

Winter brought warm water, moistened the towel and gently wiped the fine sweat on Luyi's forehead.

Luyi's heart trembled, but he subconsciously avoided Yiyou's gaze. He said in a low voice: "Slaves are not bitter. From the moment she was picked up, her fate was already up to her.

"Where's Xia Yi?" Yiyou held Luyi's somewhat cold hand and transferred the heat in his hand to Luyi.

"She met with a strange man, and I was discovered." Green will answer concisely and to the point, reluctant to say more.

Some people are destined to fail, and there are some things that they don't want to do and have no choice. Knowing that what he did was wrong, Luyi could only choose to continue without hesitation.

Seeing that Luyi didn't want to say more, Yiyou just thought that Luyi was tired, patted the back of Luyi's hand, and got up after a few words of instruction to let Luyi have a good rest. The green opinion has also gone away, but the mood is more complicated.

Yiyou suspected that Xia Yi was a fine work buried around him, but he never thought that the green was actually the same as Xia Yi. Green Yi looked at the scar on his right hand and covered his eyes, but tears still slipped from his fingers.

For many days, the emperor no longer went to court, and political affairs were handed over to the prince for the time being. Yiyou privately sent someone to ask the palace, and the news from Gonggong Ma said: The emperor suddenly fell ill, and the imperial doctor had already seen it, and he privately left a message saying that even if the emperor recuperated well, I am afraid it will only be a year.

After an autumn rain, the weather slowly cools. The sky in Chang'an always seemed to be overcast. The originally panicked hearts gradually calmed down with the emperor's indifference to the government and politics.

The crown prince has outstanding ability, and he handles political affairs like the emperor when he is not in charge of politics. It's just about when the second prince can leave the Zongren Mansion, but it seems to sink into the sea, and there is no echo.

On this day, the emperor rarely had a spiritual head and went to the court in person. Savvy people smell unusual smells in the air.

"Lu Aiqing." The emperor is not in good health now, so he doesn't want to talk around the bend, and as soon as he speaks, he goes straight to the topic. "In your opinion, what crime should the Song family be guilty of secretly framing the royal family?"

Song Yuxiao smiled helplessly, it seems that the old emperor is not willing to let go of the Song family easily. Knowing that the Song family is not the real culprit behind the scenes, he also wants the Song family to bear this black cauldron.

Lu Fangyuan held an ivory wat in his hand and bowed out. Ruya replied: "The minister is ignorant and does not dare to speak falsely about this. "The emperor's set, he won't be stupid enough to drill obediently.

"Don't dare to speak up?" The emperor aggravated his tone and wantonly released the pressure around him, "Then I will give you this opportunity to speak falsely, say!" ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the courtroom. The ministers all looked at each other, not understanding where the emperor and Lu Fangyuan were singing. So I didn't dare to dissuade the two.

Ren Jinye lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. The facial features in the shadow of the official hat are cold and hard. However, the emperor's endurance is a little better than Ren Jinye originally imagined.

Ren Jinye saw the ridicule of the emperor in Lu Fangyuan's eyes at a glance, and Lu Fangyuan's calmness made Ren Jinye a little uncertain about his arrangement.

The original arrangement became delicate due to Lu Fang's attitude of being far from being moved.

Lu Fangyuan is a difficult opponent, which Ren Jinye already knows. Therefore, for this confrontation, it can be said that it is just a test of Ren Jinye against Lu Fangyuan.

Lu Fangyuan still looked like a virtuous general, knelt down in fear, and replied: "The minister thinks that the Song family should be guilty of capital crimes." ”

I could only hear the sound of inhalation above the court, and everyone couldn't help but gasp. Now that the emperor's attitude towards the Song family has not yet been clarified, Lu Fangyuan dares to bluntly say that the Song family deserves to die.

Mo said that the Song father and son were indignant in their hearts, and even ordinary people did not dare to easily agree with Lu Fangyuan. For the way of officials, the emphasis is on the word "together", greet people with a smile, and leave three points for speaking and three points, so as to mix with officialdom.

The emperor was silent, and there was no sound in the hall, only the pressure remained. Just when everyone thought that the emperor was going to punish Lu Fangyuan, the emperor suddenly stroked his palms and laughed.

"Well said." The emperor stopped laughing and threw the secret letter in front of Lu Fangyuan. Said coldly: "Open it yourself and see what is written on it." ”

The content of the letter could not be clearer to the Song family and Ren Jinye, because this was originally a deal they made in order to join forces against Lu Fangyuan.

Lu Fangyuan can detain the second prince for forming a party for personal gain on the head of the Song family, and the Song family can also detain this charge on Lu Fangyuan's head.

The Song father and son met Ren Jinye's eyes and soon left. The Song family couldn't help but sneer, the Lu family's good days were coming to an end.

Lu Fangyuan opened the letter, took out the letter inside and unfolded it, the content was very short, and it didn't take him a long time to read it.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, the person who wrote the letter identified Lu Fangyuan as hiring a murderer to frame the second prince. And he did more than this, the night banquet assassinated, the Hu family was destroyed, one by one, one by one, it was convincing.

Lu Fangyuan was amused in his heart, the person who wrote the letter was really good eyesight, and he guessed that it was his hand. However, the method of writing MeSign is too low-level.

It is too naïve to want to bring him down Lu Fangyuan with just a nameless and nameless whistle-blowing letter. Such a person, Lu Fangyuan smiled contemptuously, disdainful of being an opponent.

The Song father and son watched Lu Fangyuan's face change from blue to white to red, and the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't help but deepen. It seems that this time, Lu Fangyuan is really at a loss.

Lu Fangyuan was far from hurrying, lifted his robe and knelt down, and only said three simple words, "The minister is wronged." ”

The emperor also held his breath, and did not attack on the spot, but asked: "You can tell me how you were wronged?" Do you mean someone deliberately framed you? ”

Lu Fangyuan slammed his head down, and his words were still concise and clear, "I hope the emperor will be clear." Ren Jinye's eyes froze, knowing that he had lost this competition.

Lu Fangyuan seemed to have no way out, but in fact, he deliberately left a flaw to lure him into the bait. In this game, Ren Jinye lost.

A person like Lu Fangyuan is by no means a person who will easily accuse and beg for mercy, and the reason why he will ask the emperor to investigate now can only show that he still has a backhand.

However, the Song father and son did not notice it, they were blindly optimistic, and without waiting for the emperor to express his position, they came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should not be postponed, the heart of the Song family, heartfelt rules, and please ask the emperor to be clear, and return the ministers to innocence." ”

Father Song bowed to the emperor without saying anything, and said loudly, "The minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and the three princes will supervise it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and most of them supported Father Song and asked the emperor to deal with it like this. Soon the hall was overwhelmed.

Ren Jinye looked particularly abrupt in a crowd of kneeling down, but he himself was unaware, with an attitude of staying out of the matter, watching everything that happened in front of him coldly. There is no clear statement, neither supporting the Lu family nor the Song family.

The emperor doesn't like restless courtiers, but he also doesn't like maverick courtiers. Ren Jinye's move undoubtedly violated the emperor's taboo.

The emperor was tired for a long time, supported his head with one hand, and waved his hand carelessly, "This matter will be left to Chen'er and Lord Ren of the Ministry of Rites." After that, his eyes signaled to Gonggong Ma to announce his retirement from the dynasty.

It is difficult for the adults to guess the intention of the emperor's arrangement, and let the people of the Ministry of Rites try the case, isn't it a joke? While everyone affirmed the emperor's old age and confusion in their hearts, they were envious and jealous of Ren Jinye.

Now that the seat of the secretary of the criminal department is still vacant, it is difficult to say that Ren Jinye is not a new candidate for the secretary of the criminal department in the emperor's heart.

Ren Jinye listened to the congratulations of the people around him, whether sincere or fake, and successfully found Lu Fangyuan in the crowd. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then separated as if nothing had happened, and left the court one after another.

This battle has just begun, and neither Ren Jinye nor Lu Fangyuan will easily admit defeat.
