"Now the dignified Eunuch Ruan, I didn't expect his mind to be so dull."

Ruan Ling's shocked and suspicious words fell, and he heard a cold and instigated sarcasm, but this time he was not shocked, because the person who could eavesdrop on the corner of the wall outside the hall here, and Da Ra used such an arrogant behavior to say "I'm listening to the corner of the wall", of course, only His Majesty the Emperor was the dignified Emperor.

So Empress Liu and Eunuch Ruan both avoided the table and stood up, and as soon as they stopped, they saw He Ye walking out from behind a barrier, and he was wearing a suit of armor, although it was only a leather armor that was convenient for rapid marching, but compared with the daily light robe, it also increased a little bit of majesty in vain, and the pair of cold eyebrows and eyes were also sharper.

But He Ye's mood was not heavy, his sarcastic words were also the usual mode of getting along with Ruan Ling, especially with the presence of Eleven Niang, in fact, he didn't want to hold a high posture, while walking this way, he waved his hand and said "no courtesy" twice, but his eyes completely ignored the dignified Ruan Eunuch, and only carefully observed that Eleven Niang subconsciously looked behind him, He Ye didn't think much about it, and explained: "I delayed Xuanzhi several times to rest, so I deliberately let him leave the palace earlier today." ”

After saying this, I realized that I was somewhat out of weakness - since the beginning of autumn, Lu Li's body has become weaker and weaker, and there were a few major things that needed to be discussed with him today, but seeing that he was really not supportive, he sweated profusely after saying a few words, He Ye was very worried about Lu Li's increasingly serious condition, and forced Lu Li to return home to recuperate for a few days. But Eleven Niang still didn't know that Lu Li was close to running out of oil until this time, and He Ye and Lu Li's thoughts were to hide it for a day and count it as a day, because they didn't tell the truth to Eleven Niang, so they had that superfluous explanation.

He Ye was afraid that Eleven Niang would notice the flaw, so he continued to ask, but he inexplicably added two dry coughs, and his expression was quite unnatural.

Eleven Niang didn't think much about it, but Ruan Ling had a misunderstanding.

Because in his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor's expression at this time was quite annoyed, and he immediately suspected that this extraordinary friendship between the Empress and Lu Li who still cared about it must be fighting for the wind and jealousy.

If you care, you will be chaotic, and Eunuch Ruan will become more and more mindless when he speaks.

I saw that he immediately piled up a pompous and suspicious smile, and the flattery made He Ye suspect that Ruan Eunuch was about to stick out his tongue and lick his leather boots, He Ye was so frightened that he leaned back slightly, as if he was ready to kick out at any time to stop Ruan Ling from approaching enthusiastically, fortunately, Ruan Ling was not brazen to the point of that, he seemed to be extremely happy "hehe" two smiles, and said: "Earlier, my aunt heard Ling say that there were many disputes in the court over the Jiyang case, and I must have wanted to hear what Xuanzhi had to say. Subconsciously thought that Ayaki was also driving behind. ”

After speaking, he nodded twice with great affirmation, emphasizing that this must be the truth, and even didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows at Shi Niang: "Uncle must be because of political affairs, so she is so looking forward to discussing with Xuan Zhi immediately." ”

Shi Niang, who didn't think much about it, realized that His Majesty the Emperor's attitude just now was really a little strange, and she was also misled by Ruan Ling, so she subconsciously echoed this statement.

But of course she wasn't too sycophant, as if she had really done something wrong.

He Ye was really annoyed now, Ruan Ling's kid misunderstood, could it be that Eleven Niang also thought that he was a person with a small belly? Although he was once stupid, he was indeed jealous, but he had long been convinced that Eleven Niang's treatment of Lu Li was indeed just a brother and sister, okay? And even if there is still a misunderstanding at this time, will it be useless to the point of communiqué personal vendetta and retaliation?!

But the emperor didn't dare to make a mistake to the empress, and his anger could only be carried by Ruan Ling.

"Ruan Ling, how many times have I told you, let you stop learning those sissies, you are full of fragrant fragrance, you smell this smell on your body, like you just crawled out of the pile of fat powder."

When Ruan Ling was upside down, he reacted that he had done something stupid, which made his uncle angry and angry, but fortunately, the emperor was angry with him, and he probably wouldn't look for Lu Li's bad luck, so although he knew that his uncle was picking on thorns, he still raised his sleeve and sniffed a few times, and sneered: "Change, you must change, Ling remember the teachings of the saints." ”

The smart one didn't continue the topic again, and shifted away: "The Holy Boss is dull, has he already broken through the Queen Mother's scheming?" This is a big talk, isn't it because the saint hesitated to hand over the Jiyang murder case to the queen for punishment. ”

He Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead-

The position of the palace supervisor has always been the emperor's right-hand man, but he is good, he found a laggard for himself, for this kid to be prodigal and amorous, for him to say many good things in front of the queen, I am afraid that the queen will dislike this kid, feeling that she is self-inflicted, but she pampered the kid more and more wantonly.

But who let himself be the uncle of this kid, His Majesty the Emperor had to pinch his nose and admit that he was unlucky.

He Ye simply stopped paying attention to Ruan Ling, and turned his face towards the queen: "I was working with Qin Wuyu and so on earlier, deploying a battle plan, and when I heard about this case, I only felt that it was extremely unusual, but I couldn't be distracted for a while, as for Xie Raoping and Wei Yuanping's family of propositions, although it was not a disturbance to me, Feng Jizheng and so on, because they emphasized that if they didn't make a decision early, they were afraid that it would lead to the unjust death of the filial son in prison, so I asked for the murderer to be released, which made me more confused, so I entrusted this matter to the queen. ”

His Majesty the Emperor sneered: "The Queen Mother's plan seems to force me to execute the murderer, but in fact, no matter how I deal with it, she can guide public opinion, which is not conducive to the implementation of the new policy." ”

Eleven Niang's head: "Execute the murderer, the queen mother will sit on Qi Duan's crime and exonerate the murderer, then Qi Duan will become innocent, so no matter how the saint decides, the queen mother will implement the plan according to the conclusion, either arouse public anger, or stimulate local officials and family resentment, and obstruct the reform." ”

"Ruan Ling, I said that you are dull-minded because you regard Yao Qian's arrest and the Jiyang case as an inevitable connection, but you ignore a reasonable statement, that is, you are a thief." He Ye didn't let go of Ruan's questioning of him, and his demeanor at this time was very much like a wise man, enlightening the fool: "I asked you to assist Jiang Yuan, try your best to find out the case of Emperor Mu Zong's violent death, and strive to grasp the evidence, you should have understood that Mu Zong died of murder, and the mastermind must be the Queen Mother, you should understand that only with this charge can I justifiably put the Queen Mother to death, once I have this killer weapon, the Queen Mother will never turn over, and the Queen Mother will have trouble sleeping because of her weak heart." ”

Ruan Ling finally understood: "In this way, no matter whether Yao Qian is imprisoned or not, the Queen Mother will make chaos sooner or later, so it has been deployed long ago, taking advantage of Feng Jizheng and others' resistance to the reform, colluding with the Feng Party, and secretly destroying the implementation of the New Deal. ”

"You're not hopeless." He Ye snorted, and finally let Ruan Ling go for the time being: "Xie Raoping and the Empress Dowager's followers, it seems that he is strongly advocating the execution of the murderer, but the real intention should be to mislead me to exonerate Tang Chongdong. Moreover, if I decide to exonerate, not only will the Queen Mother achieve the goal of obstructing the New Deal, which will help her turn defeat into victory, but more importantly, advocating filial piety is more important than the law. ”

Although there is a precedent in the Eastern Han Dynasty that Yang Qiu was not punished for insulting his mother and killing people, but after all, the Eastern Han Dynasty is different from the Great Zhou, and the crimes of the Eastern Han Dynasty cannot restrain the sentence of Emperor Zhou, but if He Ye exonerates Tang Chongdong for avenging his father this time, and openly commends him as a loyal and filial courtier, then this crime will inevitably affect the punishment in the future.

Zhou Law even continued to complete the "relatives have to stay together" since the Han Dynasty, although the major crime of rebellion is not included, but from the world's point of view, it is reasonable for blood relatives to conceal crimes from each other, especially when children and grandchildren report their relatives.

Although the word loyalty and filial piety is the first priority, Confucianism generally believes that how can unfilial people be loyal? There is also a saying that there is no father and no king, and the father represents filial piety, and if you are not filial to your father, you will not be loyal to the king.

Even if it is the Ninety-Five, he does not dare to break this rule easily, because the word loyalty and filial piety is the foundation of protecting the imperial power, and indulging in unfilial piety is equivalent to conniving at disloyalty.

Although sometimes, for the sake of power, the cannibalism of father and son does not happen, just like Zhou Taizong's Xuanwu Gate change, forcing his father to abdicate and fratricidal, how can he talk about filial piety? Therefore, Taizong needs a fig leaf, first crowned his brother the prince for the crime of rebellion, and Gaozu also became the emperor who was willing to abdicate and was happy to be his emperor.

Taizong then became self-defense, which can be justified.

However, Taizong's precedent, in the end, still caused turmoil, before Wuzong, Mo said that the prince and the prince have repeatedly caused internal disasters to seize the throne, even the princess, attached to the horse, there is no lack of involvement in the dumping, Wuzong emphasizes filial piety, lead by example, although Mingzong has improved, but Yingzong from the time, the competition for the throne tends to be cruel again.

Empress Dowager Wei is only He Ye's nominal mother-in-law, and she is even a serious threat to the monarchy, so she needs to restrain He Ye with filial piety, no matter whether she succeeds or fails, if she has a gold medal for avoiding death, there is undoubtedly more leeway.

Only Shi Niang believed that He Ye actually didn't have the idea of putting Empress Dowager Wei to death, so she wasn't sure how He Ye would deal with the Jiyang case, she urgently needed to discuss with Lu Li, so she only glanced behind He Ye at first.

Empress Dowager Wei can't die now, but whether He Ye follows the "filial piety" is particularly important to Shi Niang's plan.

She couldn't let Empress Dowager Wei succeed, so at least she had to prevent He Ye from exonerating Tang Chongdong on the grounds of "revenge is justified and murder is not guilty", but there are many unspeakable secrets that make her have to be cautious and are planning what is the most appropriate statement, but she didn't expect Ruan Ling to help her.

This kid didn't admit defeat, and questioned He Ye again: "Although the Queen Mother does have a motive, all kinds of things are just speculations by the Holy One, how can the Holy One conclude that the Jiyang case is really planned by the Queen Mother?" ”
