Chapter 93: The Truth
King En sighed lightly, looked at Chenxi and asked, "I'll go out, you pay attention to your body" and then turned to leave, Chenxi was immersed in thoughts, and before he could react, King En had already walked out of the room and went straight out of King En's mansion
He planned to find someone to find out the inside story of the Win Wuxian incident that happened in the Tiger Prison Pass 16 years ago, and the unknown side of this incident was probably only known to the entire court except the emperor...... Prime Minister Yang Pavilion
…………
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Pavilion was silent for a long time and fell into contemplation, and the son of Win Wuxian appeared in Chang'an, and was convicted of poisoning the prince on trumped-up charges, and then the emperor announced that the world would hunt down the assassins
The occurrence of this series of events made Yang Guan feel full of thoughts, every time he remembered the incident of winning the house and destroying the door 16 years ago, the hearts of the old ministers of the two dynasties were like a chaotic stone piercing through the air, according to common sense, Win Wuxian colluded with Xirong and plotted to rebel, in the eyes of the imperial court is a heinous thief, and everyone in the world is punished by sinners.
But every time Prime Minister Yang Guan thinks of winning without loss, he will only feel an indescribable grief and indignation, so every time he talks about the things of the year in the court, he will stay out of the matter, without saying a word, no matter what the emperor chooses, he will not express his opinion, even if the emperor has a bad heart, even if the officials are cloudy, but he still does not want to go with the flow, which makes him appear out of place in the court many times, and the courtiers have different opinions about him, but for the prime minister, he would rather be a dumb person, I don't want to say things that are insincere in order to cater to others, at least so that I don't lose my conscience
In fact, most of the courtiers who shouted above the court to win the unforgivable wolf ambition and the unforgivable crime did not have any understanding of the events of the year, and many people did not even see the face of the winner, but the courtiers talked about the victory that had been dead for 16 years, all of them were vicious and indignant, as if this person had a feud with them, but they didn't know that the courtiers' fierce statements were just to cater to the emperor, because the emperor gave him death, so he should be a thief. He should be infamous through the ages, but no one cares about what is right and wrong, right and wrong
As for the winner's collusion with Xirong, the conspirator rebellion was even more nonsense at the time, the court did not have any evidence, but after Win Wuxian was assassinated by Cao Zhang, he was convicted only by virtue of an edict from the emperor
As for why the emperor wanted to kill Win Wuxian, Prime Minister Yang Guan felt even more sad and indignant every time he thought about it, the truth of this matter was only known to him, the emperor and Cao Zhang and a few other very few ministers at that time, but now, maybe he is the only one who remembers the truth about the Tiger Prison Pass's victory and annihilation
The prime minister couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, justice is above the court, and it is so overwhelming in front of power, people often say that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, but driven by absolute interests, there are a few people who can maintain the sanity of right and wrong, and how many people can do justice in the hearts of the people, at least in today's imperial court, Prime Minister Yang Pavilion can not find such a person, but if it goes on like this, can the Tang Dynasty really last long, Yang Pavilion couldn't help but feel a burst of worry, and when he was thinking about it, there was a report from the government soldiers outside the door
"Report, report to the Prime Minister, His Royal Highness King En's request to see"
"King En", Yang Pavilion heard that he was the first to march, and randomly ordered the soldiers outside the door, "Quickly invite King En's stay in the living room, I'll go over immediately"
"Obey" The government soldiers responded and hurriedly ran to arrange, and the prime minister paused for a moment, and then got up and walked towards the waiting room
In the living room, King En, who had arrived, was sitting on the guest seat at the moment, looking preoccupied, the teacup stopped in mid-air, picked up and put down, and did not take a sip for a long time
Yang Guan stepped forward and saluted King En, "The old minister has seen King En, I don't know that His Highness is here, I have missed the welcome, please atone for my sins"
King En was still thinking about something, the prime minister walked to the front of the salute and then reacted, he put down the teacup and hugged Yang Pavilion and said, "Yang Xiang doesn't have to be polite, this time to come to you, it's really disturbing, and I hope that Yang Xiang is not strange" King En respectfully said, Yang Pavilion is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he is highly respected above the court, and even the emperor respects him, and Yang Pavilion does not avoid disasters, and the style of speaking out and caring for the world is also very admirable in the psychology of King En, so this visit also voluntarily regarded himself as a junior, without the slightest shelf
Yang Pavilion smiled and replied, "Where did King Enwang say, this is all within the old minister's job, it just so happens that the old minister is in a depressed mood, it's too late for me to be happy when you come to me, why bother to say it, please sit down" Yang Pavilion replied politely, the same tone was modest, King En's young man acted calmly, and his aura was extraordinary, maybe he could really take on the important task of revitalizing the Tang Dynasty in the future, and Yang Pavilion also admired this young man
King En's chin head "Prime Minister please", the two of them each sat down in the position of host and guest, a few words of greeting, Yang Pavilion saw that King En's somewhat absent-minded look, taking advantage of the gap between the two of them to put down the teacup at the same time, Yang Pavilion looked at the latter and asked, "His Royal Highness King En's day is full of opportunities, I don't know if there is anything you want to explain to the old minister this time?"
King En's expression was serious, and he was silent for a long time before he looked at Yang Pavilion with some embarrassment and replied, "Prime Minister, I came here to ask you to help the juniors solve their doubts, I want to ask you a question, a question that the emperor and the court can't avoid" King En's face was solemn, especially when he said the last sentence, his tone was obviously a little heavier
When Yang Guan heard this, he looked at the latter at random and asked, "I don't dare to advise, but I don't know what His Highness wants to ask the old minister, if it is the old minister who knows, he should do his best" Yang Guan responded politely, and at the same time he was puzzled in his heart, the whole world is not the king's land, and what is there that the king of En needs him to answer as a courtier who is about to return to his hometown
King En's expression was complicated, as if he was still hesitating about something, and finally his eyes were cold, and he looked at Yang Pavilion and said solemnly, "Prime Minister, what I want to ask is the Tiger Prison Pass, the winner" King Enwang said righteously, as if he had made a great determination when he said these words, after all, this topic is a taboo in the imperial court, and it also involves an unknown shocking conspiracy that happened in the Tiger Prison Pass planned by the emperor 16 years ago
Yang Guan didn't say anything, and after thinking for a while, he randomly looked at the latter and asked, "His Royal Highness King En wants to ask about the son of Win Wuxian, that is, the killing of King Han who shocked the court a few days ago", the prime minister thought that King En had just returned to Chang'an, and he wanted to ask about the assassination of King Han, but it was obvious that he did not understand the latter's meaning
King Enwang chuckled, but he didn't rush to argue, but looked at Yang Guan and asked, "I don't know what the prime minister thinks of this matter."
Yang Guan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at the latter and replied, "The emperor and the court have reached a conclusion on this matter, and the murderer was the son of Win Wuxian, but the ransom minister said bluntly......" The prime minister's face was heavy, and after a pause, he continued, "Regardless of whether the son of Ying Wuxian really appeared, the imperial court has not found any clues about the assassin so far, let alone any evidence that the son of Ying Wuxian killed people, and the court convicted this person of murder based on speculation alone, and the old minister felt that this move was biased." Yang Guan analyzed earnestly, but after saying this, he suddenly had a feeling of being at a loss, Yang Guan smiled bitterly in his heart, for the emperor and the imperial court, the truth of right and wrong may not be so important
King En didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Yang Pavilion and said slowly, "The prime minister dares to speak out, he is worthy of being a loyal and upright person, to be honest, the younger generation also has his own opinion on the murder of King Han this time, and the son of the Winning Immortal is convicted, but ......" King Enwang paused when he said this, and looked at Yang Pavilion at random and continued, "What the junior wants to ask for advice is not this matter."
"Oh", Yang Guan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with some confusion at random, "Then His Highness wants to ask the old minister something"
King En's face was full of seriousness, he took a long breath, looked at Yang Pavilion at random, and slowly said, "What I want to ask is the incident of the Winning Mansion 16 years ago."
The prime minister was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect King En to suddenly ask such a question, he was stunned for a while, and the two fell into a long silence, and after a long time, Yang Guan looked at King En with a serious face and asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly remember to ask about this?"
King Enwang didn't say anything, just looked at the latter and said respectfully, "I just want to know what happened to the Tiger Prison 16 years ago, and I hope that the Prime Minister will give me advice" King En's tone was modest, but his eyes were extremely firm, which made people unquestionable
Yang Guan's face was full of solemnity, and he seemed hesitant to say what he wanted to say, and finally he sighed and said slowly, "Didn't His Highness already know about this matter, Win Wuxian colluded with Xirong and plotted to rebel, but unexpectedly planned to be a scum, and was given death by the emperor, and the whole of Win Mansion was also beheaded all over the house" The prime minister said insincerely, he didn't even look at King Enwang when he spoke, obviously a little weak-hearted, the prime minister's expression was complicated, he still didn't have the determination to tell the truth about the events of the year, he secretly mocked in his heart, "Yang Pavilion, Yang Pavilion, don't you claim to be fair, Don't you want to be part of this filthy world, but why are you shaken when you tell the truth?
The prime minister's face was full of solemnity, fell into silence, whenever the court talked about the Win Wu Death incident of the year, how many times did he want to make the truth of the Win Mansion extinction incident public, but he never took that step, because this matter is the emperor's taboo, and more importantly, the truth of this matter touches the interests of the court, even if the court makes him feel indignant about the judgment of the year, but he is the head of the hundred officials after all, when the prime minister of the court, between justice and power and responsibility, how can he easily make a choice, Even though everyone above the court abandoned justice, even if he turned his nose up at the actions of the courtiers, he remained silent
