Chapter 197: Trial of Old Cases

As soon as Jiao Ningxiang's words fell, the ministers in the court fell silent.

The emperor didn't like Qi Yi, but many civil and military officials knew about it, so naturally they didn't dare to say more.

Since it is the queen's decree, this matter must be strange, in front of so many civil and military officials, Yan Li stared at them and swept them, and said: "This matter is suspicious, the matter is serious, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

King Yu's eyes sank, and he knew that the emperor intended to avoid this topic, and he may still have some patience for the treatment of the queen and King Ning.

Yan Qinghan said on the side: "Father is right, this matter is big, and there is no room for mistakes. What's more, now that Daqi is recruiting troops, I'm afraid there will be some attempts, if this matter can't be handled well, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers, who else will work hard for Da Zhou on the battlefield?"

He spoke extremely seriously, word by word.

The emperor glared at him, but said, "Now that the matter has not been clarified, we can't shake the morale of the army!"

The military department Shangshu stepped forward and said: "According to the old minister's opinion, this matter has been rumored among the people, if it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that it will affect the hearts of the people and even the army, and if Qi Yi is really wronged, it is not too much to give him a justice, and give him a posthumous seal." If it is fake, then the queen's reputation cannot be tarnished, and the rights and interests of the two phases, this case cannot be delayed!"

Heng Guogong stood aside, but he didn't dare to say more.

At this moment, there is evidence against the queen, and their edict that they have not seen for a long time has now appeared, and the queen's own handwriting and phoenix seal cannot be explained.

"What does Heng Guo Gong think?" the Emperor asked.

Heng Guogong's body trembled, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, although his eyes were full of unwillingness, he still replied: "The old minister thinks that it should be found out as soon as possible. ”

The emperor sank his eyes and said: "The matter will be handled by the three divisions, Zheng Ji, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Shi Angzhi, the secretary of the criminal department, and Weng Jin, the imperial historian, the three of you are responsible for hearing the case, and Zheng Ji is the chief judge." ”

The three of them stepped forward one after another: "Weichen takes orders!"

"Your Majesty......" Heng Guogong suddenly said, "Can the old minister be interrogated?"

A trace of impatience flashed in the emperor's eyes: "You better avoid suspicion." ”

Heng Guogong was stunned, and before he could say anything, the emperor had already flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Go down!"

Seeing the emperor leave so angrily, all the civil and military officials were silent, but no one knew whether they were happy or sad in their hearts.

Zheng Ji took the queen's edict in the hand of the Chinese calligrapher, and stepped forward to take the initiative to pay an official salute to Shi Angzhi and Weng Jin.

"My lords, this case is up to you. ”

Weng Jin said: "Lord Zheng doesn't need to say much, since the emperor has sent us to investigate the case together, we must do our best to help." ”

"Yes, our criminal department will definitely cooperate more. "The Way of Shine.

Seeing that the three of them were talking together, Heng Guogong, who was standing on the side, wanted to step forward, but the three of them walked out directly, still talking to each other, and they didn't look like they had seen Heng Guogong.

Heng Guogong's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, these people were still holding chicken feathers as arrows, and they really thought that Emperor Neng wanted to investigate this matter?

After the next dynasty, the civil and military officials walked out of the palace one after another, and Yan Qinghan was talking about marriage with Shen Kangzhi and Shen Jun.

There are still a few days before the wedding, but he and Shen Jun are quite close to them, as if they are harmonious and son-in-law.

For Yan Qinghan, Shen Jun and Shen Kangzhi are satisfied with him, he is modest and polite, and he treats people and things well, the key is to take care of their Shen family's opinions, and he is a good person.

King Yu glanced at the back, although Yan Qinghan's face was a little pale, he didn't look like a seriously ill person.

Is it really as the old saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and even the long-term sick person can get better?

He stepped forward and called, "Fourth brother." ”

Yan Qinghan turned his head and wondered, "What's the matter with the sixth brother?"

Yan Sheng said with a smile: "Just looking at the fourth brother's happy face, it has always been because the wedding date is approaching, I don't know how the wedding is prepared?" After all, marrying the princess is not sloppy, if there is anything you need help, you can also tell me that the mother concubine has always liked Miss Shen San, and she wants to do her best." ”

Yan Qinghan said: "Thank you for the kindness of the sixth brother, but don't bother the sixth brother, there are people from the Internal Affairs Office to arrange, but it doesn't take much thought." ”

Yan Sheng smiled at the corner of his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

Today's affairs between the queen and Yan Xiao made his heart feel a lot smoother, and it was naturally much more pleasing to the eye.

And Yan Xiao, who he was worried about, was in the prison at the moment, and he had been waiting for several days, but there was still no sign of being arraigned, except for the news brought by the jailer last time, he didn't know anything else.

I think he had a lot of plans at the beginning, but he forgot to buy the people in the prison.

He didn't want to stay in this kind of place for another moment!

"You people, go down!"

A sharp voice sounded, and the jailers who were guarding the prison retreated one after another, and several people dressed as guards walked in and opened a road.

Yan Xiao heard the movement, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, and continued to lie on the bed with his back on his back.

A pair of yellow shoes appeared next to the cell number, followed by the sound of the cell door being opened.

Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and looked at Yan Li standing in front of him in surprise.

He hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Sons and daughters see their father!"

Yan Li looked at him like this, and his gaze did not change at all.

"Father, the son is really wronged!" Yan Xiao said to the emperor.

Yan Li said: "Wronged? Do you still have the face to call wronged?"

"Erchen ......"

"Your secret guard appeared in the forbidden place, and then the queen's own soldiers circled around the forbidden place, if there was no plan, why did you do this? You said it was a conspiracy of the concubine, but the concubine was wounded and almost burned to death?" the emperor asked.

Yan Xiao explained: "Father, you have to believe me! I and the Queen Mother heard that the last time the people who trespassed into the forbidden land came out of the Shuxiang Palace, and then their guards were still plotting to break into the forbidden land for the second time. Erchen shouldn't be the one who wants to capture Concubine Shu privately!"

The emperor listened to Yan Xiao's words, frowned and thought deeply.

Yan Xiao is his son, and he has watched him grow up since he was a child, so it doesn't look like he is lying.

The dispute between Concubine Shu and the queen, the dispute between King Yu and King Ning, has not stopped over the years, but he has always turned a blind eye, but now it is calculated on his head.

He looked at his son condescendingly, this face that looked like him was five points, but he didn't have half of his momentum.

Yan Qinghan's face that was always alienated suddenly appeared in his mind, if he was locked up in this cell, how would Yan Xiao's embarrassment be?

"Do you have any evidence?" Yan Li asked.

Yan Xiao said: "This ......"

Yan Li's eyes sank, and his gaze became even colder.

Yan Xiao hurriedly said: "Father, this really has nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen doesn't know that it is Jiang Wu in the forbidden land, and Erchen has no grievances with that Jiang Wu, how can he ......"

"What are you talking about!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Yan Xiao's words, making Yan Xiao stunned suddenly.

The emperor stepped forward, walked up to him, and looked down at Yan Xiao: "Who did you say was from the forbidden land?"

"Yes......" Seeing the emperor's appearance, although Yan Xiao was frightened, but his brain was still there, where would he not know that the emperor didn't like others to mention Jiang Wu, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

The emperor snorted coldly, exuding a chill all over his body: "Since you said that you were just going to expose Concubine Shu's conspiracy, how do you know that the person in the forbidden land is Jiang Wu?"

"This ......" Yan Xiao thought that everyone already knew that Jiang Wu was in the forbidden land, after all, everyone knew that the forbidden place of the palace was broken into, and even the guards were killed.

What the Queen Mother told him that day when she brought him news......

He jerked his head up and looked out of the cell, but there was not a single jailer in sight.

I was about to open my mouth to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

What else could he explain? This had long been in the calculations of others, and he had not even given a way out, and he had calculated so many times, and for the first time he felt so desperate to be calculated so fiercely.

His silence made the Emperor more sure of his thoughts, and he said no more, and turned away.

The queen has been jealous of Jiang Wu for a day or two, if she knew about Jiang Wu in the forbidden land, she would definitely spare no effort to put her to death!

He glanced at Yan Xiao, and finally got an answer, and he turned to leave.

Yan Xiao looked at the emperor's distant back and smiled bitterly.

The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, what a simple truth, but it is always not so easy to accept.

"Miss. Xi Yan walked into the room and saw that Shen Yanshu was still embroidering the purse, so he stepped forward and said, "As Miss expected, the emperor just issued an order to abolish the queen." Now Gu Lianjin has moved directly from the cold palace to the heavenly prison. ”

Shen Yanshu put down the things in his hand, but his face did not ease in the slightest, the more important Jiang Wu was in the emperor's heart, the more her heart could not be at peace.

Because King Ning and Queen Gu snooped on his secrets, and he was not soft on his wife and children at all, such a person was really paranoid and terrible.

Fortunately, she picked up her mother from the palace, and it seems that she had to send her mother and brother away sooner!

Even if the three divisions interrogate, they would not be able to interrogate the queen, but when Gu Lianjin was no longer the queen, it would be easy for Dali Temple to interrogate her.

When they designed to frame the Qi family, did they ever think that they would also be framed?

She Shen Yanshu just wanted them to experience it, obviously a sense of powerlessness and despair that was framed but could not be justified.

"Yan Qinghan and Xue Ziqing have a lot of evidence and witnesses in their hands, so they can shake off their hands at this time. Shen Yanshu said.

Xiyan nodded, as long as this case is investigated, a lot of clues can be found, and it is not far from the Zhenbei Army overturning the case.

"Hengguo Mansion must send someone to keep an eye on it, Hengguo Gong is old, if he can be angry to death, it is best. Shen Yanshu said indifferently, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

Xiyan understood and said, "I'll do my best." ”
