Chapter 1405: "Fellow Countrymen" Meet
Xie Ying was a little on pins and needles.
The pressure came from the officials around her, she didn't expect the queen to put on a posture of opening a public trial, she thought that she would at least give her a chance to talk privately, there are some things, how can she confess frankly in front of so many political officials?
She looked at the graceful and luxurious woman who was high above, and quickly lowered her eyes, and the unwillingness in her heart was endless, and she suddenly felt that her eyes were hot and sour - things shouldn't be like this, she should be the one who can't look down on all living beings, and the Liu family should be prostrate under her seat, tears rippling and pleading, but now, their status is completely reversed, and the Liu family has occupied everything she deserves, but she can only bow down and be small, and plead with her.
Eleven Niang was also looking at Xie Ying, this woman who seemed destined to be opposed to her because of Jiang Gong's prediction, was a little shocked that for several years, Xie Ying was no longer radiant and old.
If she hadn't been reborn and hadn't been fighting side by side with He Ye as the Emperor Star Servant in the divination, the Great Zhou Sheji would have been completely buried in the hands of Wei Haichi and Xie Ying as Jiang Gong asserted, Eleven Niang and Xie Ying actually couldn't talk about the blood feud, but of course she wouldn't have sympathy for Xie Ying, she was just thinking at this time, seeing that the "Disaster Star Servant" is now like dust, whether the victory or defeat has been decided, and all the dangers predicted by Jiang Gong have been successfully resolved.
If this is the case, we should be relieved.
"Xie Liuniang, since Ashina Qisang escaped, you have been living in Chang'an City, this palace wants to know, who is sheltering you?"
After He Ye ascended the throne, he had deprived Xie Ying of the title of princess, and was arrested as an enemy, of course, not only because Xie Ying was the concubine of Ashina Qisang, Xie Ying was the princess of the Great Zhou, if it was just because of marriage, even if the Turks were defeated and destroyed, He Ye should also welcome it back, the war between the two countries generally does not involve the marriage of the woman, but who let Xie Ying, the princess, first designed to incite Wei Haichi to trap and kill 100,000 volunteers in the Great Zhou, and later listened to Awada Mayang's provocation to slaughter the city, and even in order to compete for favor with the princess of Tubo, Indulge the Tibetan soldiers to humiliate the women of the Great Zhou, do whatever it takes for the sake of power, and brutalize the people, of course, they are not eligible to enjoy any courtesy of the Great Zhou.
A traitor should be regarded as a crime of hostility.
That's why Eleven Niang will interrogate her as a criminal.
And Xie Ying naturally didn't care about serving up Ren Yaoguang and his family, as well as her hiding place at this time.
This is not the focus of Eleven Niang's attention.
"Do you know who Ji is stationed in?" Ask again.
Xie Ying's expression changed drastically.
She realized that the queen was going to investigate the crime of killing the king in public, if she admitted this crime, wouldn't it be lifeless?
"Ji Zhuling is already sober, and after being interrogated by the saint, he was pardoned for his death because he truthfully confessed his crimes." Eleven Niang said again.
Xie Ying's heartbeat froze for a moment, and then she recovered, and she understood the meaning of the queen's words - only by telling the truth can there be hope of avoiding death.
Or to go further, only by truthfully confessing the crime of killing the monarch, the queen will give her the opportunity to talk in private.
Xie Ying's hesitation was only for a moment.
She dared to bet that the queen, as the one in power, would not go back on her word in front of the important ministers of the political hall, and if she promised to avoid death and could do what she said, then even if she admitted the crime of killing the king, the situation would not be worse than now.
"Ji Zhuling is indeed a concubine recommended to the abolished queen mother."
As soon as these words came out, many important ministers couldn't help but gasp!
Although it is not unsurprising who Ji Zhuling instructed everyone for, but in the end it is at the level of conjecture, and now that he has heard Xie Ying's confession, how can he not know that after Mu Zong was poisoned, the case of today's assassination will cause an uproar again! If Xie Ying's accusation is really implemented, then Renzong's biological mother, who has been abolished from the throne, will not be able to escape the death penalty according to the law.
was shocked, and heard the queen ask: "Ji Zhuling has always obeyed you?" ”
"Not really." Xie Ying herself also gasped, and continued to reply after steasing herself: "The concubine body is due to an accidental situation, and she knows that Ji Zhuling has a grudge against the Empress Yilie and the Holy Lord because of the death of her relatives, and this matter is not known to the concubine alone, Yi Li and other Turkic dead soldiers, and also know the reason, after the Turkic King Qisang retreated from Chang'an, although the concubine did not dare to regenerate any unfavorable heart for the monarchy, she was forced by Yi Li and other relics, in order to protect herself, she had to recommend Ji Zhuling to the Empress Dowager and offered Turkic poison. ”
Although the queen has promised to avoid death, Xie Ying still can't help but excuse herself with the excuse of "being forced to be helpless", only everyone knows that Ashina Qisang was still alive at that time, and planned to use Shengzhou as a base to invade the Great Zhou again, Xie Ying thought that there was still a chance to turn defeat into victory, so she spared no effort to plan this murder of the monarch.
Only Xie Ying's motives are not important, and the ministers don't care about her life and death, because without Wei Haichi's cooperation, relying on Xie Ying and that group of Turkic remnants alone, how could they go deep into the military camp to lobby Ji Zhuling? Moreover, the poison that caused the Son of Heaven to almost return to heaven was not a Turkic poison, it was Ram Yu's unique poison technique, although Wei Haichi denied it, but the ministers actually believed that Ram Yu's confession was not slanderous.
Xue Qian, who is still the chief judge of Mu Zong's murder case, realized the connection between the two important cases, perhaps this time is enough to put the abolished empress dowager to death, in his opinion, the abolition of the empress dowager is indeed innocent, so he can't wait to ask: "Xie Liuniang, do you have the rest of the evidence to confirm the confession." ”
"The concubine is the Ren family's shelter, in order to prevent the exposure of her whereabouts, it is not suitable for the Ren family's face-to-face meeting, so the return contact is quite tossed and turned and passed the letter, the concubine retains the Ren family's pen and book, and it is buried in the former residence, under an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, His Royal Highness can make people dig it out."
Eleven Niang's head, the shilling palace people took Xie Ying out, detained him in the torture room, and while arraigning Ren's family, he ordered Dali Temple Qing to personally lead Jin Wuwei to get documentary evidence of Xie Ying's confession.
And since Ren was persuaded by Xie Ying to help her get out of arson, she had given up struggling, so when she was interrogated, she didn't hide it at all, and the two wedges were seamless, and all the ministers actually believed that the abolished queen mother had indeed committed the two major crimes of killing the monarch before and after, especially Feng Jizheng, who actually proposed to put the abolished queen mother to death.
He was already panicked at this time, and it seemed that he suddenly realized that he actually knew that he did not report it, and if he exonerated the Empress Dowager again, it was very likely that he would be buried together, so he was anxious to take a stand and communicate with Wei Haichi Chu He Han Realm, because the queen is still willing to give him the opportunity to listen to the trial, indicating that he has no intention of punishing him.
On the contrary, Tao Baoyi, although it has actually been determined that the evidence of Wei Haichi's crime is conclusive, he still has concerns, and he directly proposed: "The Holy Lord and His Royal Highness are determined to reform the legal system, emphasizing the punishment of crimes, and emphasizing the actual evidence and light confessions. ”
What this means is that compared with the reform of the legal system, Wei Haichi, a lost dog who has reached the end of the road, life and death really do not matter.
Eleven Niang planned to completely "deal with" the cancer of Webster, but of course she also understood that Tao Baoyi's suggestion was very reasonable.
Even if the witnesses confessed one after another, and Xie Ying also provided documentary evidence, the documentary evidence could only confirm her dealings with Ren, and there was no way to prove that Wei Haichi had indeed instructed Ren to commit the crime of killing the king.
But as the ruler, of course, Shi Niang has the right to execute Wei Haichi directly, but once the emperor abuses his power, how can he ensure that the new law can truly restrain officials in the system from being corrupt and corrupt, and judicial officials can be impartial?
So Eleven Niang listened to Tao Baoyi's advice, but she didn't think much of Feng Jizheng, not only did she not change her conclusion about his conduct, but even disdained him even more.
In the future, the court will no longer need flatterers, let alone courtiers who are "bent on selfishness", and the eleventh mother appreciates the uprightness of Tao Baoyi and Shao Guang and Lin Xi.
Regarding the two major cases of treason and murder of the king, Shi Niang did not deal with it hastily.
After the meeting, she finally gave Xie Ying a chance.
There was no idle clutter left and right, and Xie Ying finally said what she really wanted to say in her heart: "Her Royal Highness the Empress, you should want to emulate Empress Zetian, right?" ”
At this time, the place where Eleven Niang talked was in a high pavilion in Zichen Garden, there was a piece of green tile cornices in the distance, between the ups and downs of the mountains, it seemed that the pagoda pavilion was faintly visible, and there were clouds moving and rolling, and the time flowed silently.
It took a long time for Eleven Niang to retract her gaze, facing Xie Ying's urgency, and a slightly urgent east wind ran through the tall building, and there was a sound of hanging copper from somewhere.
She said slowly, with a slow voice, even with an inadvertent sarcasm: "Empress Zetian? Unheard of, how to emulate? ”
At this point, I'm still pretending!
Xie Ying was a little impatient, she leaned forward slightly, and her eyes even revealed a little manic: "I can feel that the situation should not be like this, Liu Shiniang originally did not have the wisdom of His Royal Highness, she was a cowardly and ignorant woman, she should have died in the Ganzhou Uprising today, and died in the attack of Wei Haichi and the Turks!" There is no revival of the world, He Zhou Sheji should have been subverted at this time, it is His Royal Highness who has changed history, His Royal Highness is the same as me, it should be from a thousand years later, only we are not bound by male superiority and inferiority, only we are different from the stupid and ignorant women of this era, only we dare to ignore the imperial power at all, and only we can do it, change the world, and manipulate history as we like. ”
It turns out that Xie Ying had such a misunderstanding? This made Shi Niang really cry and laugh.
But she definitely won't laugh out loud seriously: "I see, it turns out that the returnee really has a more subtle sense, so you know that Ji Zhuling has a hatred for the saint." ”
"He Ye should have died from Ji Zhu's assassination!" Xie Ying's body leaned forward even more: "He was poisoned by the Turks, and because of the flanking attack, the whole army was annihilated, he knew that he was defeated, and he didn't want to steal his life, begging me to kill him, not letting him die under the Turkic knife, I should have taken He Ye's head, Your Highness, you have changed everything, but Xie Ying can still go to the soup for His Highness, because in this world, only I understand His Highness's ambitions." ”
Eleven Niang smiled.
She finally fully understood why Xie Ying threw herself into the net, the purpose was not just to survive, it turned out that until this point, this woman was still hoping for glory and wealth.
"Don't compare us to each other." Her Royal Highness the Queen spoke leisurely: "I am different from you, I am not from a thousand years later, and I am not as arrogant and ignorant as you. ”
Xie Ying smiled: "If His Highness really didn't come from the same place as me, how could he be so calm when he heard these words at this time?" ”
She even changed her posture of sitting, bent her knees in front of her, and tapped her fists again and again: "Your Highness, you really don't think that the posture of the ancients kneeling and sitting is stupid and tired?" These feudal etiquette, after a thousand years, have long been abolished, and now there are only the two of us, why don't Your Highness be looser? ”
Eleven Niang didn't move.
