Chapter 245: Finale - Joy and Hardship
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone changed color one after another, feeling a strong sense of oppression, and they did not dare to look up at His Majesty's face.
Sheng Qingyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and they have all guessed that she is in danger.
Ye Lin suddenly laughed, and his laughter was particularly loud in the quiet hall.
"Dong Shangshu, Your Majesty hasn't found out the news that the crown princess has fallen off the cliff and died, you have already found out, Dong Shangshu's ability is quite powerful."
Dong Shangshu looked at him expressionlessly: "Lord Ye, my people just happened to find the jade pendant of the imperial princess on the edge of the cliff."
"Lord Ye, please think twice before you speak, I'm also worried about the crown princess, let people find the whereabouts of the crown princess, is it still wrong?"
Ye Linpi didn't smile: "I didn't do anything wrong, I just think Dong Shangshu's luck is quite good."
"As soon as your people went, they found the jade pendant of the imperial princess, and our people searched for it several times, but they didn't find it."
"Dong Shangshu, when did you send the person out? I'll see if the people who arrived before me, if they didn't arrive before my people, I would have to reprimand the subordinates who reprimanded me when I went back, all of them had bad eyes, and they didn't bother to look for them, and I didn't see such a big piece of jade pendant."
Dong Shangshu's face suddenly became ugly, and his tone was heavy: "Lord Ye, are you doubting me?"
"How can there be, Dong Shangshu doesn't have too much heart but blames me, I just ask, look at Dong Shangshu is in a hurry, it seems to be a thief."
Dong Shangshu's face was distorted with anger, and he gritted his teeth: "Lord Ye, you are less yin and yang, I am kind enough to help with the affairs of the imperial princess, but you want to pour dirty water on me."
"Am I a thief? I don't know when the Empress Dowager will come back from Da Zhou, and the disappearance of the Empress Dowager must have something to do with me.
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, the rest of the people began to persuade.
"Lord Ye, Lord Dong has already sworn an oath, you can apologize to him, we are all colleagues, and we will all do things for Your Majesty in the future."
Apologize?
Ye Lin sneered: "To swear is just to talk."
Dong Shangshu said loudly: "The matter of the imperial princess has nothing to do with me, Ye Lin, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"
"Really? Dong Shangshu, doesn't my matter have anything to do with you?" A cold and somewhat sarcastic female voice came, and everyone listened to the familiar female voice and suddenly looked up at the door.
Sheng Qingyuan was wearing a turquoise dress, and Shen Zhao on his side was wearing an ink-colored brocade robe, and the two of them were imposing.
"Princess ......"
"Eldest sister, my father's eldest sister is fine." When the six princes saw Sheng Qingyuan, they were overjoyed, and they told Emperor Yanbei for the first time that when they saw their father smiling comfortably at the eldest sister, and then seeing their mother's face stunned, the six princes froze and looked at Dong Shangshu suddenly.
Dong Shangshu looked at the intact Sheng Qingyuan, more shocked than anyone else, a pair of eyes were stunned, he quickly reacted, and heard Sheng Qingyuan say.
"Dong Shangshu was surprised to see me, what's wrong? Do you think I'm going to die?"
Dong Shangshu's face was gloomy and uncertain: "Where is the princess, the minister is looking forward to the princess alive, the princess will be blessed if she does not die, thank God for blessing the princess to return safely."
Seeing his earnestness, Sheng Qingyuan clapped his hands: "Dong Shangshu, I don't give you a round of applause, I'm sorry for your performance."
"Princess, what are you talking about? Why can't the minister understand?" Dong Shangshu looked at her as if he was smiling, his heart was beating a drum, his heart was beating like thunder, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while?
Didn't Sheng Qingyuan fall off the cliff and die?
Could it be that after falling from such a high cliff, Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao did not die?
"Is it really that you don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand?" Sheng Qingyuan said coldly: "If you don't give up until the Yellow River, if you want to pretend that you don't understand, then I'll say it directly."
"Is Dong Shangshu old and has a bad memory, a few days ago you let people ambush me and Shen Zhao on the way, and it didn't take long for this thing to happen, why don't you remember?"
Dong Shangshu's eyes flashed with panic, and he pinched his palm.
He has been in the court for so many years, and how many people he has confronted, he said angrily: "Princess, you have wronged the ministers, and the ministers are respectful to you."
"Your Majesty, the minister has been loyal to you for so many years, and he has done things for the people of Yanbei sincerely, even if there is no merit and hard work, Her Royal Highness the princess insulted me today and poured dirty water on me, the minister is unfair."
"The princess also appeared in the palace with King Jing of the Great Zhou, I don't know why?"
Sheng Qingyuan held Shen Zhao's hand: "Shen Zhao is my husband, I came with my husband to see my father and report my father's safety, can't I?"
"Dong Shangshu, do things for the people sincerely? I think you're bothering to make money from the people."
Sheng Qingyuan saw that he looked distressed, and he wanted to complain to his father again, and said coldly: "I came to the palace today, naturally I want to expose your true face, you sent someone to assassinate me, it is a great crime, this is a great crime of the Nine Clans."
Dong Shangshu was still trying his best to defend and bite to death: "I didn't, Your Majesty, look at the princess, she is like this to us old ministers......
"Shut up!" Sheng Qingyuan was impatient, and his eyebrows were cold: "Bring the witnesses up."
The dead soldiers of the Dong family were brought up one by one, and when Dong Shangshu saw them, his pupils were shocked and shocked.
"Father, son-in-law and Shen Zhao were assassinated many times on the way back to Yanbei, and after some investigation, this matter was done by Dong Shangshu, he wanted to take my life, and there are all human and material evidence."
"Dong Shangshu assassinated his sons, the crime was extremely heinous, he also secretly bribed and bribed, so that Lord He secretly opened a pharmacy, the pharmacy in the imperial city, was basically monopolized by several large pharmacies, they maliciously raised the price of medicine, made profits from it, so that the people basically could not afford to pay for medicine, but had to be treated, and secretly let those people who could not afford to pay for medical treatment sign a contract, either a deed of sale or a loan, the interest on the loan is extremely high, which can be described as a rolling interest."
"The people who have been contracted are miserable, and as long as they earn money, they will loot it, which has plagued many families and made life miserable."
Sheng Qingyuan told Dong Shangshu's incriminating evidence one by one, and everyone was nervous when she heard it, and few of them were clean, for fear that her next sentence would expose her own black material.
Dong Shangshu's face turned red and he was furious: "You slandered me, blood spewed people, these things are not done by me......
Sheng Qingyuan looked directly at Dong Shangshu's dead man: "Expose your logo, and in front of your father, tell you what Dong Shangshu asked you to do, how to do it, and what you have done."
"Father-in-law, present the evidence to my father." Sheng Qingyuan took the box from Shen Zhao's hand and handed it to his father-in-law.
The father-in-law took the evidence: "Father, this is all the evidence of Dong Shangshu's collection by the son-in-law."
Emperor Yanbei's face was ugly, and after reading the evidence, the dead soldiers of the Dong family had already finished stating, and they accused Dong Shangshu of all the evil things they had done, and everyone was dumbfounded.
The most surprised was the sixth prince, he couldn't believe it, and the whole person was stunned: "Grandpa, you ...... Why are you doing these things? Father treats you very well, and the eldest sister has never troubled you, why do you want to kill her? She's my sister."
After Dong Shangshu listened to the identification of the dead man, and saw all the evidence presented, his face was like earth, and he was suddenly questioned by the six princes, and he suddenly became angry.
"Idiot, you idiot, if it weren't for you, would I have done to kill her?"
"Didn't I do all this for you, the original position of the prince fell firmly in your hands, you don't fight for it, I sent the throne in front of you, and you still pushed it out, what's the use of you?"
Dong Shangshu vented all his anger on the six princes, the six princes looked pained, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, Sheng Qingyuan couldn't bear it, and interrupted Dong Shangshu coldly. Look at the book
"You're not for him, you're for yourself, don't speak of yourself so noblely."
"You don't understand him at all, he doesn't want the throne of the king, he just wants to be the sixth prince, you force him to give him what he doesn't like, and he rejects you and blames him for not wanting it, it's really ridiculous."
She's cold
Bingbing looked at Dong Shangshu: "It's you, if you want the Dong family or you want you, one person under ten thousand people, you can only let the six princes sit on the throne, as long as he sits up, the Dong family will be promoted with happiness."
"You know a? That's the Ninety-Five Supreme, who doesn't want it? Am I still wrong for him to seek it?" Dong Shangshu didn't pretend anymore and sneered.
"My mistake was to choose something that his mud can't hold up to the wall."
Seeing this, Sheng Qingyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, and the six princes were shocked and pale.
Emperor Yanbei was furious and announced that Dong Shangshu would be beheaded on a certain day, Concubine De shrunk and wanted to intercede for Dong Shangshu, but was pulled out, and the six princes interceded for the rest of the Dong family, plus Sheng Qingyuan was on the side to help speak, the Dong family was not punished by the nine clans, but only criminals, and they were all beheaded.
Those who are involved with Dong Shangshu should also be demoted, and those who should be punished will be punished.
And all this Emperor Yanbei let Sheng Qingyuan decide, and he watched from the sidelines.
Sheng Qingyuan removed most of the female cadres, Emperor Yanbei was very satisfied, Sheng Qingyuan was worried about his body, and immediately checked his body after retreating.
She twisted her eyebrows and gave him medicine, telling him that his body was the most important, and Emperor Yanbei was happy to hear it, and suddenly said, "Today they asked me to take care of the dragon body, I think about it, I might as well pass on the throne to you now."
Sheng Qingyuan was shocked: "Father, with me, your health will be fine, you will live a hundred years old, don't say bad words."
"Erchen still has a lot to learn, and now I can't pass on the throne, I don't know anything yet."
Emperor Yanbei glanced at Shen Zhao, "Didn't you bring a military advisor back?" King Jing is already an emperor, and he can assist you from the side."
"Father, I believe that you will do well."
"Today's performance is very good, but except for so many courtiers, there must always be someone sitting in their place."
Sheng Qingyuan nodded: "Father, I know, isn't the imperial examination already being held? It's time to select talent."
"Look at Qingyuan, you have already thought of the back, you can be the emperor, I will issue an edict tomorrow to pass on to you." Emperor Yanbei touched her head.
Sheng Qingyuan refused politely, but he couldn't resist Emperor Yanbei.
She accompanied Emperor Yanbei for a long time, and she took Shen Zhao back to the palace.
The next day, Emperor Yanbei issued an edict to pass on the throne of Sheng Qingyuan, and no one had any objections, and only dared to hold it in his heart, and Emperor Yanbei asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the succession ceremony.
Sheng Qingyuan became the Emperor of Yanbei and the second empress of Yanbei.
At the end of the succession ceremony, she and Shen Zhao returned to the palace, the two sat facing each other, she poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, poured herself a glass of wine, and clinked glasses with him.
"Shen Zhao, I was your queen once in Da Zhou, and now you are my queen in Yanbei."
Shen Zhao put his hand through her wrist and made a gesture of drinking a glass of wine.
His eyebrows were soft and affectionate: "Well, I will be your queen in the future."
"Are you wronged?" Sheng Qingyuan asked him.
Shen Zhao shook his head: "Not aggrieved."
Sheng Qingyuan's nose was sour, his heart was moved, and he said to him: "Shen Zhao, may this prosperous world be as you wish, I want you to accompany me to see this splendid mountains and rivers, and we will make Yanbei better and better together."
Shen Zhao smiled softly: "But it's disrespectful."
Sheng Qingyuan smiled, and the two drank the wine, looking at each other affectionately.
married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful.
She and Shen Zhao share joys and sorrows.
Shen looked at her, his smile deepened, and his fingers interlocked with her.
He is inseparable from Sheng Qingyuan and Bai Shou, no matter what she does, he will stand firmly in front of her.
