Chapter 354: Lin Xiang's Choice
"But relying on some life-saving kindness from your father to the first emperor back then, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and even the earth dragon qi that I dispersed towards Emperor Kaizong dared to gather! Dare to make a noise above the main hall? Today I want you to know that this Great Wei is the Great Wei of the royal family, the Great Wei of mine, not the Great Wei of your Zhan Palace. ”
As soon as the emperor gave the order, all the charges of King Zhan yesterday were nailed to death.
In fact, with the charge of embezzling 90,000 taels of ink and the charge of gathering the qi of the earth dragon without permission and vainly trying to tamper with the foundation of the Great Wei, this King of Zhan is already a dead man.
Now add some crimes, but it is better to take down all the courtiers involved with it.
So, the emperor spoke again.
"The case of King Zhan's rebellion will be handled by Uncle Siwang, and within ten days, I will know all the results!"
"Yes, the old minister obeys!"
One sentence of rebellion blocked all the ways of life of King Zhan.
Now it's just a matter of adding sin to sin and seeing what it will nail in the end.
Thinking of this, King Zhan didn't even have the strength to cry.
When he looked up at the emperor again, he suddenly became more cunning.
"You can't kill me!"
"Joke, is there anyone else in this Great Wei that I can't kill?"
"Yes! My father was seriously injured in order to save the first emperor, and the first emperor also promised that if I committed any major crimes in the Zhan Wangfu in the future, I would also save the lives of a son and a grandson! ”
turned to look at Lin Xiangye, and said expectantly.
"Lin Xiangye, Lan University scholars have all been present to witness it, isn't it, isn't it!"
The Emperor had never heard of this, and the Lan scholars had long since been wiped out.
If Lin Xiangye answers yes at this moment, then he can save the two lives of the Zhan Wangfu.
But if you don't answer yes, I'm afraid it's a different matter.
Therefore, everyone stared at Lin Xiangye.
Let's see if he speaks for his wife or for the emperor.
Lin Xiangye knew that he couldn't escape, so he stood up.
He said with a fist clenched.
"Back to the emperor, this is indeed true, the old minister dares to gamble with the net worth and life of the Lin family to ensure that the first emperor said this."
Lin Xiangye's words made King Zhan immediately laugh out loud.
And Princess Zhan next to her was eager to stab these two people to death with a sword.
is so embarrassed, is this way of heaven really so unfair?
The emperor's face also darkened a lot.
If it was the first emperor, he wouldn't be able to take care of it.
But when I thought that under such a serious crime, I could spare his two lives in the Zhan Wangfu, and I felt that it was really not worth it.
was thinking about what to do with it, so I heard Lin Xiangye speak again.
"Emperor Qi, some things have been pressed in the hearts of the old minister for many years, at first for the sake of the descendants of the family, so he didn't speak, but now if he hides the secret forever for his own selfishness, I'm afraid that to the end, the old minister will not be able to explain to the first emperor, so he won't vomit and be unhappy."
Turning things around?
As soon as Lin Xiangye said this, the emperor looked at him again.
"What's the matter?"
"The old King Zhan saved the first emperor, but it was done deliberately, in order to gain the trust of the first emperor, so as to get the glory of the Zhan Palace!"
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers present were shocked.
It is said that when the first emperor went hunting, he met a crazy wolf.
He was already chasing and biting the horse, and he threw the first emperor off the horse, and was about to bite his neck, when he saw the old Zhan King appear.
Straight to the wolf's mouth with his arm.
Then a knife was inserted under the ribs of the mad wolf into the heart.
That's what made it die.
And the wolf's head bit the arm of the old Zhan King and almost didn't pull it off.
It wasn't until the Imperial Physician and the accompanying Praetorian Guards arrived that they worked together to remove the mad wolf's teeth from the arms of the old Zhan King.
Since then, the old Zhan Wang has basically lost his right arm, and whenever it rains on a cloudy day, he will have a fever all over his body and a strange pain in his bones.
All this was caused by the salvation of the emperor.
Therefore, the first emperor made this promise.
It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the old Zhan King.
Now it is said that this is a long-planned preparation, and anyone who hears it can not be angry!
"Lin Xiangye is responsible for his own words, is this matter serious?"
"Naturally, take it seriously! The old minister dared to guarantee the lives of the whole clan! Didn't King Zhan also know about this? ”
Suddenly mentioned, the king of Zhan stammered all of a sudden.
I don't know if the emperor's eyes are too stunning, or Lin Xiangye's words are too earnest.
Therefore, he forgot how to open his mouth to refute.
Such an attitude in front of everyone is no different from admitting it.
Then, without waiting for King Zhan to explain, Lin Xiangye continued.
"When I knew this, it was many years after the death of the old King Zhan, one day the old minister happened to return home, and he met the king of Zhan to see the lord of Rongkang, although the voice of the two was low, but the old minister's ear was not bad. When he knew it, he was shocked, but at that time, he had children and grandchildren, and even if the old minister didn't care about the lives of the two of them, he couldn't ignore the lives of the entire Lin family. ”
"So, since then, the old minister has asked the emperor to play and sent me out for many years. I just don't want to be in the same league with this sister and brother anymore! ”
When Lin Xiang mentioned it like this, the emperor seemed to remember.
Indeed, at that time, Lin Xiangye had not gained a firm foothold in the court for a few years, so he asked him for release.
Originally, the prime minister should have assisted more in the court, but all he asked for was a foreign appointment.
At first, the emperor thought that Lin Xiangye had retreated bravely.
After knowing that he is in power, he will definitely have a disagreement with the old courtiers.
So deliberately avoided.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
"Not only that, after the lord of Rongkang retired from his family, he originally had a great future to marry Gaomen, but because he met the old minister on the road and brought his wife and children into Beijing, he forced his sick wife to death, and this became the stepfamily of the old minister!"
"For decades, as long as the old minister is slightly better to his wife and eldest son, the lord of Rongkang will do it behind his back, in order to save my son's life, so for decades, he can only pretend to ignore it, and even his grandchildren have suffered."
"Fortunately, I found an excuse to finally let the big house move out of the prime minister's mansion, and this life is going well."
Then he looked at Lin Xingzhi, who was standing next to the emperor, and the "love" in his eyes was really powerful.
It's a pity that Lin Xingzhi was unmoved.
"In the past, I was afraid of the power of the Zhan Wangfu, and I also cared about the relatives in the clan, so the old minister failed to make these secrets public, and it was the old minister who was selfish, so today he is willing to resign from the position of the prime minister, return to the countryside, be a teacher, and ask the emperor to fulfill it!"
I have to say that Lin Xiangye bowed this time.
All the courtiers were also silent.
Lin Xiangye has been in the court for decades and has always been a sleek person.
