Chapter 233
On the eve of Mo Wen's burial, Mo Yu committed suicide in prison, and the Criminal Department presented the matter to Emperor Jing Yuan, but Emperor Jing Yuan was unable to check it for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is only because the Jinyang palace ordered someone to send an assassin, saying that it was this person who was in the paddock that day, and he shot an arrow into the chest, injuring Han Ye's life, and the assassination of the envoy of Western Qin the day before yesterday was also related to him.
Han Ye's injuries had not healed and he could not be present, and it was Han Cheng, the head of the guards of the Jinyang Palace, who came to explain the matter.
How could Emperor Jingyuan listen to the one-sided words of the Jinyang Palace?
"Oh? This person is so powerful, where did he come from? Emperor Jing Yuan asked.
Han Cheng said: "This person has a pattern of deer mulberry flowers tattooed on his body, and he is a member of the Bai family in Xingyang, Western Qin. ”
"People from the Bai family of Western Qin?" Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes were sharp, "You mean that the Western Qin Hao clan dares to spread wilderness in the capital of Daxing?" Not only stabbed the prince of Jinyang, but also dared to attack the envoy of Western Qin? What are their intentions? ”
Han Cheng frowned: "The slave doesn't know, he just told His Majesty the truth." The slave thought that if it was really related to the Bai family of Western Qin, why didn't His Majesty summon the envoy of Western Qin to ask what was going on......"
Several ministers looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, but Uncle Li Guo opened his mouth first and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to believe it than to believe it!" Those envoys of Western Qin are very suspicious, as soon as they came, they caused a lot of trouble, maybe it was the trick of Western Qin to grab people's attention and attack the West and try to do wrong! ”
Emperor Jingyuan remembered that yesterday, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, Nie Ziling, said that the assassins had not found out, and it was inconvenient for them to leave Daxing, and they had to see Jing and the horse buried with their own eyes before they could explain to the emperor...... If you look closely, the rhetoric is indeed quite suspicious.
Not long after, Nie Ziling was invited to the Daxing Palace, and Emperor Jingyuan personally inquired about the matter. As soon as he saw the man in black who was tied up and thrown aside, Nie Ziling was frightened for a moment, and his heart was really wrong, and the Bai family was a little bolder, and he actually dared to send someone to Shengjing to assassinate His Majesty!
However, after these few days, he has been trained by his master to be much calmer, even if he is really a puppet, he can take two steps on his own, not to mention that in the matter of assassins, his master has already taught him how to deal with it.
Therefore, when Emperor Jing Yuan asked him if he knew Bai Zhan who was being tied, Nie Ziling raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "This person has never seen him before, how can he know him?" What does Your Majesty mean by this? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”
Although Nie Ziling's words were not very respectful, it was understandable for the dignity of the wronged Western Qin. Regardless of whether the assassin was a member of the Bai family or not, Western Qin could not be provoked.
Emperor Jing Yuan naturally knew the pros and cons, so he ordered someone to tear the clothes on Bai Zhan's body, and there was a deer mulberry flower tattooed on his back, Emperor Jing Yuan said: "I heard that the family emblem of the Bai family in Xingyang of Western Qin is the deer mulberry flower, I want to ask Lord Nie to identify it." ”
Nie Ziling is the most unpromising child of the Nie family, and rarely cares about political affairs, but the major clans of Western Qin regard their respective reputations as the most important, no matter which surname of the four wealthy families is, they all put the interests of the family first, regardless of life or death.
Of course, Nie Ziling had seen Bai Zhan before, but he had basically never dealt with him, and now the grandson of the Bai family was arrested in Dongxing and interrogated by the emperor of another country for the crime of assassination, if it was passed on to Western Qin......
The consequences can be imagined.
Nie Ziling couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but his face became more and more calm, and he sneered: "What does Your Majesty Dongxing mean is that this person is a disciple of the Great Qin Bai family?" Deliberately came to Dongxing to do something wrong? Still in the hands of the Jinyang Palace? It was a coincidence. Doesn't Your Majesty think that someone is deliberately provoking the relationship between Dongxing and Daqin? Your Majesty is so famous that he is a member of the Bai family based on just one tattoo? ”
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Nie Ziling's palms were full of sweat, and he continued: "I was born in the Nie family in Hanoi, and it is also a famous family in Daqin, I don't know how much the interests of Dongxing's family are worth to all children, in Daqin, it is more important than life and death!" If anyone brings shame on his family, he should apologize for his sin! Your Majesty must know what the status of the Bai family is in Great Qin, and the empress dowager and the queens of the previous dynasties of Great Qin are all from the Bai family......"
As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the west as a sign of respect: "Even the emperor himself must give three points to the Bai family." Let's ask, how could the children of the dignified Bai family come to Dongxing and Jingxing to stir up trouble and stir up right and wrong? This is clearly someone deliberately planted the wrong! ”
There are different opinions, each has its own reason, the courtiers of Daxing discussed it, but they did not dare to reprimand Nie Ziling severely, first, they have no evidence, and second, because of the strong national strength of Western Qin.
At the end of the discussion, except for Uncle Li and others, who insisted on their own views and advocated a strict investigation of the envoys of Western Qin, the rest of the courtiers strongly advocated that the assassins be taken into custody and that a final conclusion be made after careful investigation.
Bai Zhan was poisoned, Han Ye deliberately pondered the properties of the medicine, and did not immediately kill him, but only sealed his meridians, leaving him speechless. His consciousness was still awake, and after listening to Nie Ziling's words, his heart was relieved.
Because, what Nie Ziling said in his mouth must represent the meaning of that person, and the sentence "If someone disgraces the family, he should apologize for his crimes" is clearly said to him. Nie Ziling did not testify that he was a member of the Bai family in Western Qin, so he said that the emperor knew but did not pursue it, as long as he died, the Bai family would not be implicated.
Yes, the interests of the family are paramount. The emperor was reminding him and telling him to give up the identity of the Bai family and preserve the reputation of the Bai family. And even if he Bai Zhan can return to Chang'an alive, he will not escape death, and he will let the Bai family be manipulated...... The two weighed each other, and the Emperor knew that he would not resist.
Bai Zhan figured it out and accepted his fate, as a son of the Bai family, he couldn't return to his homeland after death and be buried in the ancestral hall, all of which were harmed by Han Ye! Han Ye thought that he would obediently obey his mercy and plunge Western Qin into a land of injustice?
"Assassin he...... He ......"
Someone found something and cried out in surprise, and everyone looked over to find that the assassin with his hands tied was sideways and wrote a word on the ground with bloody fingers: "Han ......"
The courtiers were in an uproar, and they all looked at the people of the Jinyang Palace, but Han Cheng, the head of the guards of the Jinyang Palace, did not panic at all, and knelt down on one knee and said: "The prince confesses to the slaves, and the assassin may bite back when he is angry, if His Majesty doubts the loyalty of the Jinyang Palace, the prince will personally go to His Majesty to ask for guilt even if he is dying!" ”
Emperor Jing Yuan was surrounded by noise, and there was no trace of purity, he had already felt irritable, so he waved his hand and said, "Take the assassin down!" I have never doubted the loyalty of the Jinyang Palace, and I also empathize with the sincerity of the friendship between Western Qin and Daxing, and I will not let any treacherous villain make trouble! Han Cheng, pass on my message, order the prince of Jinyang to have a good life and recuperate, and the king of Jinyang will return to Beijing in a few days. ”
He also said to Nie Ziling: "The envoy of Western Qin may wish to stay in Daxing for a few more days, and I will definitely find out the identity of the assassin and give the envoy an explanation." ”
Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan had made an order, the ministers, Nie Ziling and others could no longer say anything, and a debate was suspended with Bai Zhan being taken into custody.
When everyone dispersed, only Emperor Jingyuan was left in the entire Zichen Palace, as an emperor, he was high, but it was the most difficult to guess people's hearts, whether it was the envoy of Western Qin, the Jinyang Palace, or the assassin who was bound, he didn't believe any of them!
A group of eunuchs and palace maids were all outside the hall, and Du Gaoxian was waiting on the side, and when he saw Emperor Jingyuan's face like frost, he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you are already a lot haggard after a few days." The old slave ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a medicinal soup that purifies the heart and nourishes the mind. ”
With that, Gao Xian walked towards the outside of the Zichen Palace.
Just ordered the little eunuch to run to the imperial dining room, as soon as Gao Xian looked up, he saw Uncle Li Guo standing under the shade of the tree, and when he saw him, Uncle Li nodded and smiled, and walked towards Gao Xian.
Uncle Li Guo's overtures to Gao Xian have not been a day or two, and all strange things outside the palace are sent to Gao Xian, as an old slave who has not left in front of Emperor Jingyuan for decades, Gao Xian's face is the greatest. often walks by the river, how can you not know that Uncle Li has the heart to make friends with him?
However, he is already in the high position of the uncle of the country, and he is still thinking about the old slave in front of His Majesty, what is his idea?
Thinking like this, Uncle Li Guo had already arrived in front of Gao Xian, and there was a smile on his face covered with meat: "Father-in-law Gao, how did Father-in-law Gao think about the matter that the old man discussed with you last time?" ”
"This ......" Gao Xian was silent for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Uncle Guo commanded, how dare the old slave disobey his orders?" Thanks to Uncle Guo's affordability, if there is anything convenient in the future, Uncle Guo just needs to speak. ”
Uncle Li Guo saw that most of the things had happened, and the light burst out in his small eyes: "He will succeed in the future, and the old man will not forget the success of his father-in-law!" As long as there are seven highnesses in one day, there will be a day of glory and wealth of the high father-in-law! ”
In winter, the Mid-Autumn Festival leaves in the deep palace have fallen, desolate and full of eyes, and even more gloomy and cold, some people are secretly planning earth-shattering events, but the bedroom of the Seven Princes is particularly lively.
"Your Highness the Seven! Don't mess around! The palace maid chased in the courtyard, but she couldn't catch up with the footsteps of the Seventh Prince.
Holding the shadow puppet gadgets in his hand, he ran all the way to the depths of the corridor, turning around and making frequent grimaces with the palace maids: "You can't catch me!" Can't catch me! ”
"Your Highness the Seventh, if you let Niangniang know that you don't study hard, he will kill the slaves and maids! Slaves, go back quickly! It's windy here, so beware of freezing! ”
Baili Mingxu refused to listen, he finally got rid of those annoying homework, like a bird flying out of the cage free, he sped up and ran forward, and suddenly bumped into a little eunuch who rushed over, and the little eunuch hugged him: "Oh, Your Highness Seven, why are you here!" ”
The palace maid who was chasing Baili Mingxu hurriedly shouted: "Little Fuzi! Stop the Seventh Highness! Come on! ”
The little eunuch named Xiaofuzi grabbed Baili Mingxu and panted sharply: "Sisters, I just heard that the teacher of His Royal Highness the Seventh ...... The champion Mo Yu committed suicide in prison last night! ”
Baili Mingxu was still struggling, and when he heard Xiao Fuzi's words, he was stunned, he didn't like to study with Mo Yu, but he didn't think that Mo Yu would die.
The palace maids were no more restrained in the Seventh Prince's bedroom than they were elsewhere, and after hearing this, one of them sighed: "Why did you die?" There was no sign at all. ”
The other man snorted: "Murder pays for life, if he dares to kill Jing Concubine, he should pay for his life!" Behold, even if he commits suicide, he deserves to be whipped! ”
Baili Mingxu didn't know what punishment was, and relied on the child's reasoning to judge the right and wrong, and then echoed: "It turns out that Mo Yu is a bad person!" He died well! ”
He thought about it and laughed: "I don't have to study in the future!" He died too well! I can play it later! ”
He smiled, broke free from Xiao Fuzi's restraints, and ran forward in a hurry.
"Your Highness the Seven!"
"Your Highness the Seven!"
The palace people began to chase and shout in a hurry again, it can be seen that the life and death of others are actually nothing in their eyes, whether it is Jingyu or Moyu, it is just a temporary topic.
……
Bai Lijing is waiting, waiting for Mo Yu's verdict, even if he commits suicide in fear of crime, he still has to convict a crime, the deceased has been sealed in the coffin, and the murderer must not leave the whole body.
However, there was no news on the first day, and the Ministry of Punishment meant that His Majesty was too busy to take care of this matter. And the people in the palace have begun to pack up Bailijing's things, preparing for her to move back to the palace to live.
From the tenth day of March to the tenth day of October when Mowen was killed, for seven months, their husband and wife were in a corner of the house, but their memories were left everywhere, so that the people who are alive today are injured step by step......
