"Well, it's Ye Shizi who is talking about snatching military merits." Zhao Jin looked at the fold and replied lightly, "Ye Shizi is young but has made many achievements, and it is said in the fold that this is the merit that Lord Hou gave to his only son the credit of his subordinates. Otherwise, Ye Shizi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he rushed into the enemy camp to behead the enemy, wouldn't it be incredible? ”

Ye Xun: "......"

It was his fault that he was too heroic.

Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "The last general did not take credit from others, and there are generals and soldiers in the army as evidence. ”

Zhao Jin said meaningfully: "I naturally believe in Dingyong Hou, but now that someone has come up with evidence, I will also give you the opportunity to defend yourself." This case has been transferred to Dali Temple, waiting for the results of the investigation of Dali Temple. ”

Ye Nanshan and Ye Xun glanced at each other and responded respectfully.

The father and son walked towards the palace gate, and Ye Xun frowned: "Father, why did you come to Beijing?" Didn't the emperor say that he would only announce my entry into Beijing? You are gone, what can you do when the geese return to the customs? ”

Ye Nanshan waved his hand: "I've arranged all of them, so you don't have to worry about it." After a pause, he looked solemn: "Now the matter in Shangjing is more serious. ”

Ye Xun was stunned and persuaded: "Father, don't worry, the emperor is wise and will not listen to slander." ”

Ye Nanshan let out a long sigh, "But some people are not wise, and they only believe slander." ”

Ye Xun looked at him puzzled.

Meng Xingci first went back to the ministry to report, and by the way, he inquired about the case of Marquis Dingyong. There are also a lot of Meng Shoufu's old ministries in the Ministry of Officials, and after Meng Xingci knew that the case was tried by Dali Temple, he found an old man who had a good personal relationship with Dali Temple to inquire about the situation.

"The case of Ding Yonghou...... It's not easy to do. An old man said, "That's all the human and material evidence!" How much does the emperor trust the Marquis of Dingyong? When Emperor Taizu was there, he admired and loved the old marquis as his own son and nephew. The emperor and the old marquis are even more like brothers and sisters, and they have lived and died together. If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, how could the emperor order the prince of Dingyong to return to Beijing? ”

Meng Xingci frowned: "Isn't it just a few letters?" What is this forged letter? As long as anyone who is familiar with Hou Ye's handwriting can imitate it, this kind of unjust case has not been unheard of before. ”

"That's physical evidence, and there's human evidence." The old man sighed and said, paused, he looked around, and said with a face full of shame: "I heard that it is the outer room of the Marquis of Dingyong!" ”

Meng Xingci's face was full of shock, Dingyong Marquis's outer room?

She blurted out, "It's impossible!" After a pause, she said categorically: "Marquis Dingyong and his wife have a deep relationship, and there is only his wife in the backyard, how can there be any outer room?" ”

"Is that fake?" The old man sighed and said, "Xingci, you are also a man, you should be able to understand." How can this man not be careful? Not to mention a man of high authority? Although the Marquis of Dingyong is said to respect Mrs., this Mrs. Dingyong Marquis is indeed intolerant of elegance, so the Marquis of Dingyong placed people outside. ”

Meng Xingci was in a state of confusion, which was even more shocking than when she heard that the Dingyong Marquis Mansion was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

"Even if she is really the outer chamber of the Marquis of Ding Yong, can what an outer chamber say be true?" Meng Xingci said disdainfully.

The old man shook his head and said, "The identity of this outer room is not ordinary. After a pause, he explained carefully: "This outer room Luo is a widow, and her dead husband is called Fan Ze, who is the guard of the Marquis of Dingyong. Ten years ago, Fan Ze died in order to protect the Marquis of Dingyong, leaving behind the Luo clan who had just passed the door. Before Fan Ze died, he also said that he would let Luo remarry, but Luo was chaste and martyred, and he had to keep festivals for Fan Ze in life and death. Marquis Dingyong was ashamed of Fan Ze, and took more care of this Luo's family, and after coming and going, the two of them had a beginning and a tail. ”

Meng Xingci had a blank expression, this is the kind of street gossip that Ling Huan likes to listen to the most. But she doesn't want to listen to it at all now, the hero of the story is Ye Xun's father.

"Luo's husband was killed by the Tartars, so when she realized that the Marquis of Dingyong had colluded with the Tartars, she resolutely wrote a letter to expose him, and was willing to be a witness." The old man followed and said: "After the Luo clan is a heroic martyr, he said it well, and took out the letter, coupled with the successive performances of the ministers of the court and the central government, the emperor ordered the prince of Dingyong to return to Beijing. ”

Meng Xingci understood, completely understood.

"Then what's going on with Liang Yongan?" Meng Xingci asked: "Luo Shi just found Liang Yongan to expose the Marquis of Dingyong?" Didn't Liang Yongan investigate it himself? ”

"Liang Yongan is the most cautious, and your grandfather also appreciated him at the beginning." The old man followed and said: "According to Luo's words, this Liang Yongan used to be the parent official of Luo's mother's family, upright, honest and honest. That's why Luo asked him to expose the Marquis of Dingyong, and Liang Yongan also sent someone to investigate. Marquis Dingyong did have an unclear relationship with the Luo family, and the stakes were very high, so he played the emperor. ”

Meng Xingci asked, "Where is this Liang Yongan now?" ”

The old man sighed heavily: "Liang Yongan was assassinated not long ago!" ”

Meng Xingci was shocked again: "Assassinated? Why didn't I get the message? ”

"That is, the day before yesterday, you should have been on the road at that time, and it is normal not to know." The old man followed and said: "The assassin is still a woman, and her martial arts are strong, but fortunately, Prince An passed by at that time and asked the guards of the palace to help, so he took down the person." ”

Lord An? An Wangye is Zhao Jin's ninth brother, and although he and Zhao Jin are not the same mother, they have a good relationship. The younger brother of Zhao Jin's compatriot is Prince Shun - from this title, it can be seen that the emperor's relatives are estranged and close.

The brothers in the royal family are all fighting for the crown prince. However, this Prince An, who has a cheerful temperament, likes to eat, drink and have fun, has had a good relationship with Zhao Jin since he was a child, and when he was a child, Prince An also fell into the water in order to save Zhao Jin, which caused him to be in poor health when he was a child.

Because of these, Zhao Jin was very concerned about Prince An, and even sent the Ouchi guards to protect him. The Ouchi guards were originally protective of the emperor, and their martial arts were strong.

"Why did the Assassin kill him?" Meng Xingci asked.

"The assassin said that he was doing the right thing for heaven, and that Lord Liang framed Zhongliang, which is really hateful, and I heard that he was still a female assassin. Siqing of Dali Temple thought that this matter was related to the case of the Marquis of Dingyong, so he arrested the person for interrogation. The old man said, and sighed heavily: "Eventful, eventful!" ”

Meng Xingci secretly said in his heart, what this female assassin said was true, but in this way, others would not guess that this assassin was sent by the Dingyong Marquis Mansion, right?

Meng Xingci asked again, "How is Lord Liang's injury?" ”

"I heard that the injury was very serious, and the emperor sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it, and now he is still bedridden. The Liang family thought that the matter was related to the Dingyong Marquis Mansion, and Liang Yongan's eldest son also went to Dali Temple to complain and ask Dali Temple to give his father justice. The old man sighed.

Meng Xing said goodbye to the old man and left the ministry, and walked out in a trance.
