The army triumphed, the rebels were caught, the city celebrated, and the people's hearts were settled.

After the extreme excitement, in a peaceful and stable atmosphere, Wan Wenbi, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and Yang Weiguang, the deputy prime minister, walked slowly towards the central courtyard.

Behind the two of them was a distant follower.

That distance is the manifestation of their power.

"Ziming, do you think this public trial can get your wish?"

After walking a few steps, Wan Wenbi looked ahead and spoke softly.

Yang Weiguang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gongfu, if you ask this, doesn't it mean that you already have the answer in your heart?" ”

Wan Wenbi scolded secretly and slipped like a loach, so he had to take the initiative to say: "The old man really can't think of any way to make these three people confess." It's hard! ”

As the number one leader took the initiative to express his position, Yang Weiguang didn't want to pretend to be stupid anymore, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, if the public trial can be convincingly convicted, it is naturally a great thing, but if it can't be done, but if the other party makes a generous statement, it may outweigh the losses!" ”

Wan Wenbi said softly: "However, that is what Jianning Hou decides, what can you and I do!" ”

Listening to this obvious arch fire and a little co-opting words, Yang Weiguang smiled slightly, "Jianning Hou is recognized as a man of unparalleled wisdom, and he has no last resort, maybe he can continue to write magic this time?" ”

Wan Wenbi turned his head to look at him deeply and nodded, "Yes, I hope." ”

——

With the resumption of Guangling, the surrender of Xiangyang, the capture of the two thieves and other incidents one after another, even the most pessimistic people understand that this successive reversal of changes in the past two or three months is basically coming to an end, and it is difficult for the court to have a big repetition.

Although the massacre that happened in the East Palace caused the remaining clan nobles to be full of anger and anger.

But when they watched the British Duke and Xiao Fengshan sitting in the car, walking through the streets amid the scolding of the crowd, it seemed that the hearts of these clan nobles had been purified and baptized, and they were full of love and peace.

So after accepting his fate, those long-lost gatherings also began to gather one after another.

A group of clan relatives and nobles who survived the catastrophe rarely got together to talk about the state affairs and family affairs that had not been communicated for a long time.

The women intrigue in the backyard room, while the men drink tea and drink in the warm rooms in the front yard.

Usually, the ultimate destination of men's chats is women and politics, and today it is not suitable to talk about women, so the topic naturally turns to politics.

After chatting a lot about what was and didn't, one finally talked about the big thing that everyone cared about.

"Tomorrow is really going to be a public trial of the British, oh no, Lu Rusong and them?"

"The crown prince, the uncle, and the prince of the country have been tried in court, and the dynasty has never existed, right?"

"Not only has there never been a dynasty, but throughout the past dynasties, this is also a precedent!"

"Will such an end happen to me in the future?"

"I'm afraid you don't have that qualification yet!"

A sneer sounded, and the newly promoted son of Lu Guogong, the head of the Qin family, said coldly: "Although there was no such public trial in the past, there have been few such appalling evil deeds throughout the ages!" colluded to kill the monarch and rebelled, such people would really be cheaper if they were cut with a knife. ”

As one of the few people who stand in the camp of the new emperor among the noble groups today, and he is also a saint, this opening set the tone, and the rest of the people did not dare to refute, so they could only follow his words.

"Actually, it's okay to be open, to make public accusations, to make it clear every day, to be a little less suspicious, and to cut off the way of those who try to preach for their spirits."

"But the problem is, if you just count the crimes and canonical punishments, there is no difference from the past!"

"A public trial is not only an interrogation, but also allows for defense, and only one party is allowed to speak, what's the matter?"

"Is this possible for yourself? So what if they shake off something else at that time? ”

"That's why we think it's difficult!"

As everyone spoke, a figure walked in, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"I've seen King Cheng!"

"Lord Wan'an!"

King Cheng rarely fought that day, but he suffered a big loss, and he was so scared that he almost fell ill when he went back, but he was relieved after taking the reassuring pill given by his own princess and dared to come out to do activities.

At this moment, of course, he will not show timidity in front of everyone, and he smiled and asked with an approachable smile as in the past: "What are you talking about?" Watching you talk so hot. ”

"Back to the prince's words, we are talking about the Marquis of Jianning's strong public trial of those traitors!"

"According to the prince's opinion, this action may be effective?"

The smile on King Cheng's face froze immediately, he took a deep look at the person who asked the question, and said decisively without hesitation: "I always believe in Jianning Hou, and Jianning Hou will definitely continue to lead us to create magic!" ”

All:.???

The head of the Qin family tugged at the corners of his mouth, this damn thing, he can lick it better than me.

But to be honest, he couldn't imagine how his prospective son-in-law could achieve his goal.

So, looking at the winter around him, which had already begun to take shape, he sighed.

Sad!

——

The same sigh also sounded in the lobby of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion at this moment.

Because Su Yuanshang was still on the way back from Longshou Prefecture;

Wei Yuanzhi entered the center, and things suddenly increased;

Wang Ruoshui became a traitor again and absconded and lost his trace;

In addition, Xia Jingyun has more things, turning between the Central Council and the Household Department, and in the originally lively Jiang'an Hou Mansion, Feng Xiuyun and Gongsun Jing are left at this moment, as well as the newly joined Rouge.

Looking at Feng Xiuyun who was sighing worriedly at the end of the tea, Rouge smiled slightly, "Sister don't worry, when did Childe do something that he was not prepared for?" We should believe that he is. ”

Feng Xiuyun looked at her determined look, and couldn't help but laugh, "With your temperament, which man doesn't like it!" ”

She listened to the sound of the early winter wind passing through the cracks in the window and door, and said softly: "I mainly think that it is too cost-effective for him to do this. It's done, and it's not much good, but if you lose, you're going to get into big trouble, so why bother! ”

Rouge shook his head, "I can't say that, my father-in-law told me the story of the past dynasties before, and said that there was a holy monarch in the previous dynasty, which was a good emperor who was known to everyone and admired by all the people, but because he killed his brother to ascend to the throne, throughout his life and even now, this point has been attacked by political enemies and the world, which has become a stain that he can't erase no matter how hard he tries, and he has followed suit for his descendants, leading to many tragedies." We naturally know what is going on now, but outsiders don't know, and future generations decades and hundreds of years later don't know, at that time, God knows if this infamy will be thrown on His Majesty, Niangniang and even Gongzi. And if the descendants of the royal family follow suit in later generations, wouldn't it be a bad example? ”

Feng Xiuyun nodded thoughtfully with a bit of abruptness.

Gongsun Jing on the side sighed again.

Rouge smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Gongsun?" ”

Gongsun Jing said helplessly: "Before, I only thought that if the final public trial was unsuccessful, it would not be a big deal. As a result, when you say this, it is so serious, and I am really starting to worry now. ”

Feng Xiuyun nodded, "Me too." ”

Rouge:.

"For today's plan, I can only believe in Childe."

"yes, I had to believe in him."

No matter how many people are optimistic and how many are not, the trial came as scheduled on the third day after two days of preparation.

In the palace in the early morning, Concubine De personally sorted out the imperial clothes for Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai raised his head and said, "Queen Mother, can Uncle succeed today?" ”

Concubine De smiled softly, then crouched down, inadvertently revealing the perfect silhouette of her body.

She and Dongfang Bai looked at each other, "Yu'er, do you know why your uncle did this?" ”

Dongfang Bai nodded, "The queen mother said that he was to help me correct my name." ”

Concubine De smiled and gently stroked his face, "Yu'er, you are now the emperor, the master of this world, and you can no longer rely on your uncle for everything like before." Uncle will also have things that he can't do, if he really doesn't do it, not only can't we blame him, but we also have to find a way to help him do it, understand? ”

Dongfang Bai snorted, "So, does the queen mother also think that today's things are difficult?" ”

Concubine De is accustomed to Dongfang Bai's intelligence, "According to what he said, it should be possible, but I'm afraid that something will happen in the middle." We're ready to respond. ”

Dongfang Bai nodded, took Concubine De's hand, and slowly walked towards the Imperial Palace.

In the main hall, there are already some more decorations.

A desk was placed under the steps in the middle, and a few desks were placed on both sides, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones placed on them, which were used for the documents and records of the living room and the criminal department, Dali Temple, Zongzheng Mansion and other related departments.

Not long after the courtiers and hundreds of officials entered the palace, because of today's "liveliness", many relatives and nobles who did not need to go to the court on weekdays took the initiative or were called to participate in this court meeting.

When they entered the temple and stood still, looking at the scene in front of them, their hearts were slightly cold.

Is Xia Jingyun so confident?

And some people who don't want Xia Jingyun to be good secretly sneered in their hearts, arrogant! Be careful to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot!

Today is not the day of the usual court meeting, so everything revolves around this public trial.

After the hundred officials stood still, the hall slowly quieted down.

Jin Zhong unfolded an edict and read it aloud:

"The first emperor has been in the imperial pole for twenty-four years, and the holy candle shines, and all the people return. Where the wind is, the wilderness changes; Moved by benevolence, wood and stone are happy. However, the thief is clearly favored, and he is courteous to the outside and murderous inside. The thief Lu Rusong received the grace of the country; The thief Xiao Fengshan has been favored repeatedly. He didn't want to be grateful to the king, but he deliberately plotted because of selfish interests, relied on each other, conspired with each other, and finally committed rebellion, and caused a catastrophe to the people. The society is in danger, and the people are crying blood. ”

"Fortunately, with the help of loyal and brave people, I uphold the loyalty of my subordinates, hold the righteousness of my heirs, set things right in Zhongjing, and break the army to capture thieves in Bishui."

"Today, a court will be set up in the court, and the rebellion will be tried publicly; Distinguish righteousness in front of the hall, and be righteous and official. Xia Jingyun, Marquis of Jianning, presided over the trial of this case, to find out the original situation, return justice, spread it to the government and the opposition, and record the history! Chin this! ”

In the midst of solemnity, Xia Jingyun stepped out of the ranks, came to the desk and sat down, and drank in a deep voice under the complicated eyes of hundreds of officials.

"Take someone to commit it!"

Soon, a soldier of the forbidden army came up with a man.

The man was burly, but he was shackled and flailed, and the officials in the palace also looked at it with confidence.

"Who's in the hall?"

"Back to the adult, the villain Black Ice Platform Black Rider is long, Luo Xiaoqian."

"Where were you on the night the first emperor died?"

"The villain accompanied the first lord to escort the first emperor and secretly went to the military camp twenty miles outside the city."

"Who is the commander of the camp? Why did the first emperor go? Who else is with you? ”

"The main general of the battalion is the British duke, oh no, the traitor Lu Rusong, I don't know what happened to the first emperor, but under the order of the first seat, he escorted with the army, and then guarded around the big tent of the Chinese army. On the side of His Majesty's holy car, he did not see the rest of the people with him. ”

"What happened that night?"

"After the villain arrived safely at the barracks with the army, His Majesty walked into the big tent of the Chinese army accompanied by Lord Xuanhu, and then Xiao Xiang Xiao Fengshan was tied up and brought in, and after that, I heard that there seemed to be a noise inside, but after a while, the first adult came out and brought a person into the big tent, and soon, there was a shout in the tent, and I rushed into the big tent, and I saw Qin Sichao holding a sword in his hand, falling to the ground on his back, and His Majesty had fallen in a pool of blood."

Above the court, there was an instant uproar.

It was only then that everyone clearly understood the scene of that night.

Xia Jingyun asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The rest of the things, the villain really doesn't know."

"What you just said, but it's true?"

"It's true! If there is a little lie, the sky will thunder! The villain is only acting on orders, and there is no disobedience at all. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "If it is found that you have not committed lawlessness and you are not guilty, you can go down first!" ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

The black rider of the Black Ice Platform was brought down, and another person was brought up again.

This time, the person who came was not in a flail or shackled, but was watched by two forbidden sergeants, one on the left and one on the right.

"Who's in the hall?"

"The last general patrols the battalion and the keeper Zuo Siyong, who met the Queen Mother, His Majesty, and the Marquis of Jianning."

"On the night of the death of the first emperor, what you saw was truthfully invited."

"On the day of the first watch, the last general was on duty at the east gate, and suddenly a small group of cavalry arrived, saying that the black ice platform black horse returned to Beijing, and the last general recognized the waist card correctly, and opened the door to let go. Because the black rider often had such things, the last general didn't take it to heart. ”

Saying that, he paused, and then said: "About the second watch, it rained heavily in the sky, and there was a bigger uproar. The traitor Lu Rusong came to the city gate with a team. Seeing that he led the troops into Beijing without an edict, the last general was surprised, and at this time, Lu Rusong asked to meet General Yang, saying that there was a big matter to discuss with General Yang, and the last general did not dare to slack off, so he went to invite the general, and the general personally went out of the city to talk to him, and then opened the door and let him go. ”

Xia Jingyun's expression was calm, and he continued: "Do you know what the two of them said? ”

"I don't know."

"What you just said, are you hiding it?"

"Everything the last general said is true, and there is no lie."

"Okay, you go down first."

In fact, hearing this, the opinions of those who were originally unimpressed with this public trial have quietly changed.

Although what the two witnesses said is far from being the truth, after listening to the information now, they have also cleared up a lot of fog in their hearts, and there is a lot less suspicion and nonsense.

Presumably, when these news spread out of Miyagi and spread all over the world, there would be much less criticism and suspicion.

Xia Jingyun continued: "Please Shun Yibo. ”

Soon, Yang Yinghui, the current commander of the patrol battalion, walked in, "Weichen meets the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." ”

Xia Jingyun looked at him, "Uncle Shunyi, the night of the first emperor's death, please tell me everything you know." ”

Yang Yinghui said: "That night, Weichen rushed to the east gate, now the city wall took a look, confirmed that it was Lu Rusong, he said that there is a big matter to discuss with me, Weichen saw that he came with troops, did not dare to open the door rashly, so he hung the basket from the city wall, and saw His Majesty, after confirming that His Majesty had died, Lu Rusong ordered the minister to open the door in the name of discussing with the center, and Weichen had no choice but to let go. ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, because Yang Yinghui had now taken refuge in them, so he didn't ask in detail about the next somewhat disgraceful things for Yang Yinghui, but fortunately, the next thing was basically known to all the officials in the court, and there was no need to say much.

He looked around, "Ladies and gentlemen, combined with the testimony of these witnesses, the events of that night are basically clear, and this is a premeditated act of killing the king. The so-called Qin Sichao took an old servant to kill His Majesty, which is full of suspicions and is completely unbearable to think about. Next, let's find out the truth of the day from the mouths of these three traitors! Settle grievances with snow to show their heinous crimes! ”

"Someone! With a traitor, Xiao Fengshan! ”

The ministers and officials all turned their heads to look out the door.

After a while, a figure slowly appeared outside the main hall.

Xiao Fengshan stepped in, and once again came to the court hall where he once used to cover the sky with one hand.

This time, he changed his court clothes into prison clothes, with more shackles and shackles, and a little more desolation of the tiger falling into Pingyang.

He looked calmly ahead, and for the first time in his life he had seen this young man who had heard the name countless times.

And Xia Jingyun was also looking at him.

The two emperors' uncles finally stood face to face at this moment.

The current scene is the first time that none of them have imagined.

The courtiers also held their breath at this moment, looking at the upcoming confrontation between the two imperial uncles. (End of chapter)
