Volume 2 – The Kyoto Feast Chapter 43 A Reluctant Draw
In the Zongren Mansion, Bu Jinyun and Shu Shangxin stood in front of the hall, except for the two of them, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the thirteenth master stood behind him in unison. The Holy Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, Bu Zhuang and Prince Jin, sat on the sidelines and watched the trial. Opposite the two sat a row of gray-haired old men, while in the main hall of the Zongren Mansion sat an energetic old man with a foot-long beard. He is the chief judge of today's assassination of the Great Emperor Sun and the attack on the mansion of the Six Princes - Bu Yi.
Bu Zhuang's expression is serious, not the same as before, and the breathing breath in his eyes all represents his anger. After the atmosphere was silent for a long time, Bu Yi slowly spoke, "What we are discussing today is that the emperor and grandson were attacked, and the second is that the imperial palace was robbed. After speaking, he stared at Bu Jinyun and Shu Shangxin.
Although he knew what he was summoned today, when he heard the step family elder say it himself, Bu Jinyun was still a little relieved, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. Compared with Bu Jinyun, the young Lu Shangxin is much calmer, although he, a victim, will also be involved in the rights and wrongs of the back, but fortunately, he is a victim first.
Bu Yi, who was sitting directly above, seemed to have prepared the next rhythm, set his eyes on Bu Jinyun, and said sternly: "Bu Jinyun, as an elder, actually sent someone to intercept and kill your nephew, do you have anything else to say." ”
Bu Jinyun's face was terrified as if he was facing a great enemy, six points were pretend, four points were true, and he hurriedly replied: "Sect Chief, the emperor and grandson were assassinated, I, who was an uncle, failed to protect my own juniors, and I should be punished, but the sect chief said that he sent someone to assassinate him, I don't know where to start, Jinyun is not a crazy person, how can he do such a thing, and ask Grandpa Wang to learn from it." ”
After Bu Jinyun finished speaking, Lu Shangxin said with an uncomfortable face: "Sect Leader Qiqi, although the assassin who has not been arrested so far is indeed the sixth uncle's mansion, but the sixth uncle has always been kind-hearted, and I also think that this matter has little to do with the sixth uncle, and I also ask the sect chief to learn from it." ”
Bu Yi naturally didn't think that Lu Shangxin was helping Bu Jinyun exonerate, but if he wanted to clear the case and restore the superficial atmosphere of the royal family as soon as possible, he didn't mind pushing the boat down the river and pulling the people behind him into the battle.
I saw him ponder for a while and said: "Shu Shangxin is reasonable, then according to your meaning, Bu Jinyun is kind-hearted, so among all the princes who are friendly with Bu Jinyun, I am afraid that only Bu Yanghui is the emperor, and the emperor and grandson mean the people sent by your third emperor uncle?" After speaking, Bu Yi stared at Xi Shangxin with squinted eyes.
Yu Shangxin secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, and said quietly on his face: "Sect Leader Hui, Shang Xin has no such intentions, the sixth uncle is an elder, and the third uncle is naturally too, he was assassinated, Shang Xin has no other major clues so far, so he doesn't dare to say anything." ”
Bu Yanghui knew that he would definitely be involved today, since they were going to go straight to the point, he was a little satisfied, after all, the sixth piece of nonsense, the less he said, the better, and when Bu Yi squinted, he was ready for the next speech.
After Shang Xin finished speaking, I saw him step forward, knelt down in the direction of Bu Zhuang Bi with an ordinary voice, and then said with a face full of self-reproach: "Qi Qi Sheng, Shang Xin's assassination does have a great relationship with me, and that Wen Yang is indeed my and the sixth person, and I ask the saint to punish him." ”
Bu Youkong's face remained unchanged, without the slightest change in expression, Bu Zhuang on the side must have listened to Bu Yanghui's words, and a breath of anger erupted in his eyes, and his breath was a little fluctuating, as if he ignored Bu Yi above because of his emotions. Instead, he asked angrily, "Bastard, did you admit that you assassinated the emperor, which means that the assassin who blew himself up was also sent by you?"
Seeing this, Bu Yi didn't dare to disobey Long Yan too much, so he simply became dumb and handed over the power that should have been his chief judge to Bu Zhuang Bi, and today Bu Zhuang will come in person, and he guessed this.
Seeing that Bu Yang Hui, who had always been the backbone of his life, readily admitted Wen Yang's matter, Bu Jinyun really panicked, learned to step Yang Hui knelt down, and said anxiously: " Emperor Mingjian, although Wen Yang is my and the third brother's person, but that day I sent Wen Yang out, just to the third brother's mansion to send some fruits from the south, this kind of thing was also done by him before, and he came back from the third brother's mansion, it is inevitable that he will pass through Chang'an Street, as for why he would assassinate the emperor and grandson, and why a master of the martial arts level, after the sneak attack on the martial arts level of the emperor and grandson, can still escape from the capital, the minister and the third brother really don't know. “
After listening to Bu Jinyun's words, Bu Yanghui's heart was relieved, thinking that this critical time for waste was still somewhat useful.
Bu Zhuangbi's anger was restrained, and the whole person was extremely indifferent, staring at Bu Jinyun coldly and said, "I heard you mean that the emperor and grandson should not live under that martial sect?"
Originally, Bu Yang Hui was still a little worried, but when he saw that his father had shifted his focus to the gap in the realm, he began to have a bottom in his heart, because since his father intended to shift his focus, then you would inevitably show the surface of the sword, and he was afraid that his father would favor the boss.
Bu Jinyun is not as good as Bu Yang Hui and others in terms of heart and experience, and when he touched Bu Zhuang's cold eyes, he suddenly sank to the bottom, and climbed forward two steps on his knees in a panic, and replied anxiously: "The emperor ——, father, the son does not mean this, but the fact that Shang Xin was assassinated is too strange, if it is really done by the son and the third brother, two dead soldiers will definitely be sent over, how can a Huang Fu of a curtain Ji and Shang Xin have a chance to live?" And after that day, after the Wenyang sneak attack twice, he chose to leave in the face of the Makuhime monk Shin, who was already seriously injured, which is a problem in itself. The child did not believe it, and if the dead man would behave like this, he hoped that his father would see it. ”
Seeing that Bu Zhuangbi's eyes were still cold, as if he felt that he hadn't said enough, Bu Jinyun added again: " Just after the assassination of the emperor's grandson, a spy who didn't know who it was, pretended to be the third brother to bring me a letter, saying that the curtain of the prince's mansion was a fine work, and asked me to interrogate quickly, but when I examined half of the way, I was taken away by the third brother who knew about it, and then I was reprimanded by the third brother, and when I returned to the house, the spy died violently, and then my house was swept by many forces, and I was ready to send the tortured Jia to the prince's palace to make amends, and it is not a pity to die, and I will not pursue the person who killed him, and the forces on the night house are definitely the forces that have been rooted in the capital for a long time, so the emperor thinks that this is someone deliberately framed me and the third brother。 “
Bu Yanghui was ready to slowly lead the spearhead of this matter by himself, but he really didn't expect the sixth child to have such a smart day, presumably he had worked hard in the past few days, but it made him a little impressed.
With a sneer on the corner of Bu Zhuangbi's mouth, he glanced at Bu Yanghui, and Bu Zhi and Bu Nianlong, who had never spoken behind him, stopped at Bu Jinyun and said slowly: "Are you saying that the assassination was a scene directed and acted by the eldest prince's own family?
All the princes, including the Zongren Mansion, frowned in unison when they saw that Bu Zhuang was bound to shift the topic to the eldest prince, Bu Jinyun and Bu Yanghui were delighted, Bu Nianlong was puzzled, and Bu Zhi was a little nervous.
"Back to the emperor, Erchen doesn't have any evidence at present, but Erchen feels that this matter is very clear, and asks the emperor to give me justice. Bu Jinyun replied confidently.
Bu Yanghui was thinking about how to praise the sixth child who suddenly opened the light, but in an instant, he was angry again, and couldn't help but secretly curse a stupid, and then lowered his head tightly.
Sure enough, just after Bu Jinyun finished speaking, Bu Zhuang Bi smiled indifferently, which was a sign that anger was about to explode, and said, "Oh, the traces are clear?" Then he stopped his gaze on Lu Shangxin and asked, "Can you agree with your sixth uncle's point of view, did your father tell you how to assassinate you when you went out?"
Yu Shangxin's expression was solemn, and he said word by word: "Tell the Holy Lord, I have always had a very good relationship with my father, how could my father assassinate me? Besides, we have no reason, could it be that we can't become a servant girl in the Prince's Mansion? But I have to say that this incident is indeed strange, but what kind of strange method is it, please ask the Holy Lord to be aware of it." ”
Bu Jinyun saw Yu Shangxin's quibble, and hurriedly retorted: "Joke, is the emperor's grandson saying that I have nothing to do when I am idle, and I ....... find myself a ?"
Before Bu Jinyun finished speaking, he was frightened by Bu Zhuang's eyes. Slammed the table in front of him, Bu Zhuang will roar angrily: "Bastard, are you still making trouble? There is no evidence for the time being, but the traces are clear? Then in the Zongren Mansion is where you come from? Come on, pull this nonsense thing down for me, five hundred and second-level military staff, and send it to Zongzheng Temple for ten years." “
Sending this sixth man who has no strength to compete for the throne to Zongzheng Temple for ten years, Buzhuang must naturally have selfish intentions, the so-called father is ruthless, but relatively speaking, for those who have no intention of imperial power, he is more or less half of his father's.
In fact, Bu Jinyun's original intention was not bad, but he had followed the third child for so many years and learned crookedly. On the contrary, Xiang Bu Jinyun, a person who is not stupid and has no big ambitions, after the precipitation of time, will manage several small cities in the future, whether it is for the south or the local people.
There are two reasons for sending him to Zongzheng Temple, one is that he is not the core character of the story, and the second is that Bu Jinyun can't fight Bu Fanchen, rather than letting him be asked by Bu Fanchen because of stubbornness, it is better to send him away, and third, he is somewhat sorry for his mother.
Originally, I thought that the sixth child would just be reprimanded, but in the end, after such a serious result, Bu Yanghui, who was originally confident, chuckled in his heart, so the emperor's purpose of this move was obvious, that is, to completely cut off the future of the sixth child, and come out of Zongzheng Temple ten years later, no matter who is in power, he has no affection to rely on. Moreover, Yang Hui rushed to a chill when he gave in to such a heavy punishment. It is said that the sacred heart is unpredictable, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
The eldest prince on the other side was not easy, although the situation changed from unfavorable to favorable, he did not feel happy at all, because things did not seem to be so simple.
After sending Bu Jinyun away, Bu Zhuang Bi looked at everyone again and said calmly: "Can any of you tell me the follow-up to this incident." “
Although Bu Zhuangbi's tone was calm, Bu Yanghui knew that it was far from over, and the fate of the sixth child was vivid, but the arrow was on the bow and had to be sent. He has already lost the sixth child, and he has to give way to Bu Zhi and Bu Nianlong to peel off his skin.
Then he raised his head and looked at Bu Zhuang Bi with a firm expression and said: "Back to the emperor, although there is no big evidence, the people in my mansion found out through clues that the self-explosion method used by the self-detonation assassin is similar to an entourage of the eldest prince's family who died a few years ago, and the direction of Wen Yang, who is still alive, must be very clear about the direction of escaping the capital." ”
Bu Zhi knew that it was unavoidable, and today's father's decision was too drastic, so that the three of them now had no time to take care of the question of where Bu Fanchen belonged, not to mention who to woo, how to protect themselves in today's situation, and minimize the loss.
So he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, if it is to win over the little prince, then I do have the motive to direct and act myself, but the prince is not there at all that day, just like Shang Xin said, am I stupid enough to use the life of the emperor and grandson to win the life of a maid? ?
Bu Zhuang will be silent, turn his gaze to Bu Nianlong, Bu Nianlong's heart is very complicated, that day he was afraid of getting into trouble, felt that things were not simple, so he took the initiative to find Lao Jiu and Lao Shi to go out to drink, originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but they said a word to me, but he who was not present made him the most suspicious. Of course, this is related to the guidance and shift of the center of gravity of Bu Zhuangbi.
Bu Nianlong took a step forward, knelt down fiercely, and said with a sincere face: "Father, that day, I and the ninth brother and the tenth brother drank in the Drunken Immortal Building, and they also went back to the mansion together in the middle of the night, and I didn't have time to participate in the incident at all, so they can testify to this."
Bu Zhuang Bi glanced at Bu Nianlong meaningfully and asked, "Then why can Wen Yang leave your subordinate area?"
Bu Nianlong chuckled in his heart, he did this very secretively, the purpose was that he felt that Wen Yang's shot was very strange, as if it was specially covered up for the eldest brother, so he guessed that the real owner of Wen Yang should be Bu Zhi, and what he wanted to see more was that Bu Zhi and Bu Yang Hui were both defeated, so he quietly let go of the assassin. For some reason, my father didn't focus on who sent the Assassins, and kept shifting his focus. I had to say with a struggling face: "Back to the saint, Erchen is guilty, it was Erchen who let the assassin go, I suspect that the assassin will affect the eldest brother, and I don't want the eldest brother to be implicated, so I ......." ”
"Thirteen, there must be evidence when you speak, how can the eldest brother have anything to do with the assassins. On the other hand, if that assassin has something to do with Thirteen, you can tell it, and I don't think you have any ill intentions, but you are just being used, and neither Shangshin nor I will blame you. Bu Zhi's expression tightened, and he followed Yang Hui's words.
Under the guidance of Bu Zhuangbi, everyone in the Zongren Mansion had to go to the road of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, and none of them were spared. In the end, when the truth was about to surface, Bu Zhuang must seem to be tired and stopped everyone. let the three of them each take some responsibility, and they didn't treat the three of them like they did to the sixth child.
And the biggest impact of the Zongren Mansion on the three of them this time is not their strength, but their reputation, and the wall of power that the three of them have built over the years has some cracks, giving some people who have no momentum a chance to compete.
Bu Zhuang must think that he is a selfish emperor in his heart, but fortunately, he likes that person, he has the ability and means to have the heart, and he will be a good emperor in the future, and he can only do so much. As for how he died in Akagi and how he died, it's just a brushstroke.
