The leisurely and comfortable life lasted for less than two days, and another team of guards came to Huan Yin's door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This group of guards came from the palace, and they were much more amiable than the officers and soldiers who came from the palace of the five princes that day. However, the purpose of their coming was still to take Huan Yin away.

After careful questioning, I learned that it was Wei Bujue who sued the royal court, saying that Wei Qianlong killed the family in his house and robbed him many times. And Huan Yin is the provider of the murder weapon.

After hearing this, Huan Yin knew that he was not a key figure at all, just a supporting role. This time, I am afraid that Wei Bujue and Wei Qianlong will be divided in front of the emperor, and the position of the heir will basically be given. So this state of affairs is actually a big deal for the royal family itself.

Huan Yin naturally followed those people, but Ruan Shushu still asked him to come back for dinner with a smile on her face.

When he arrived at the golden palace of the imperial court, Huan Yin saw that there were already a lot of civil and military ministers standing there. At the front of the ministers, there were two people, and at first glance they were the powerful ministers of the court.

Next to these two people, there was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, but it was Wei Qianlong and Wei Bujue.

Huan Yin thought to himself, presumably the two sitting were the third prince and the fifth prince.

The one sitting at the top of the Dragon Court wearing a yellow robe and a golden crown on his head was naturally Emperor Qingzhou.

This Qingzhou Emperor seems to be old, and there is no difference from what he heard about it before. When Huan Yin looked at Emperor Qingzhou, Emperor Qingzhou also looked at him. However, Emperor Qingzhou's expression was very relaxed, not like a fierce person.

"Now that the people have brought it, let's get started. As soon as Huan Yin was brought into the court, the emperor spoke.

The ministers and the two princes all agreed, and Wei Bujue and Wei Qianlong walked up from their father's side and knelt in front of the emperor.

Huan Yin let go of the officers and soldiers, but did not kneel, and still stood in the hall, making everyone's brows furrowed, and he said in his heart that this Diao people don't understand the rules.

Huan Yin is naturally impossible to kneel, he can kneel to heaven and earth in this life, he can kneel to his parents and masters, but it is impossible to kneel to anyone else.

"Be bold and don't kneel down when you see the emperor!" Wei Bujue's father, that is, the fifth prince, drank at Huan Yin.

Huan Yin glanced at him, then looked away, staring straight at the emperor on the first seat.

The emperor was not angry, but asked, "What is your name?"

Huan Yin bowed to the emperor: "Xiaomin Huan Yin." When it comes to kneeling, Huan doesn't kneel because he doesn't want to. ”

"Don't want to?" said the fifth prince as if he had heard a big joke.

The emperor frowned: "Fifth brother, I will talk to him." ”

When the fifth prince heard the emperor say this, he squinted at the emperor and said, "Brother Huang has the final say." His attitude was extremely perverse, with some contempt.

The emperor didn't care, turned to Huan Yin and asked, "Why don't you want to kneel to me?"

Huan Yin asked rhetorically: "The emperor thinks, why do the people kneel when they see the officials, and why do the people kneel when they see the emperor?"

The Emperor replied, "This is a gift for the ages, and everyone follows it, so what is the reason?"

Huan Yin laughed: "Xiaomin thinks otherwise. ”

The emperor never thought that someone would speak like this in front of him, but he was a little interested, and asked, "Huan Yin, what do you think?"

Huan Yin replied: "Before answering this question, Xiaomin wants to ask the emperor another question, that is, where did the emperor get your throne?"

"Bold, where did the chaotic people come from, they dared to talk to the emperor like this!" This time it was not the fifth prince who scolded Huan Yin, but an old minister with white hair.

The emperor waved his hand: "I, the emperor, am hereditary, and it has been more than three thousand years since Taizu, and it has never changed. ”

Huan Yin shook his head: "The emperor said so, but he was wrong. ”

The Emperor asked, "What's wrong?"

Huan Yin replied: "Three thousand years ago, there was no emperor in Qingzhou, the order was chaotic, and the name was boring. Therefore, there is Taizu from the people, after thousands of difficulties and obstacles to become a big event, the Qingzhou governance is in good order, the people are rich and the state is strong, in this Taizu audience admires the people, is respected by the people, and obtains the throne by the trend, which is called the world with virtue. ”

The emperor nodded: "It is reasonable, my throne is from the people, so I should also benefit the people, I am wrong." ”

Huan Yin had a good impression of the emperor in his heart, and continued: "Therefore, when the people see the emperor, they will kneel, because the emperor has benefited the world and blessed all the people. This kneeling is from the heart to show sincere respect. If you kneel because of the might, it is because the imperial court has many generals and is suppressed by force, and you dare not kneel, and if you kneel like that, I am afraid that it will be ......."

The emperor said, "Then you mean that my virtue is not enough to benefit the world?"

Huan Yin laughed: "The emperor's question is also related to the matter of the two little princes today. Xiaomin has three reasons not to kneel, after saying these three reasons, if what I said is wrong, then I will kneel past the emperor and ask the emperor to kill my head. If I am right, then Xiaomin will not kneel today, and I am afraid that the matter of the two little princes can also be judged. ”

The emperor laughed, and felt that Huan Yin was a strange person, and said: "Okay, you say, which three principles?"

Huan Yin replied: "First reason, the emperor called me here today, presumably because of the matter between the two little princes. But what does it have to do with the small people between them, why do you want me to come?"

The Emperor looked down and said, "No, you say." ”

Wei Bujue kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can my nephew confront this Huan Yin for a few words?"

The emperor nodded, and Wei Bujue turned to Huan Yin and asked, "Did Wei Qianlong kill one of my family members that day?"

Huan Yin nodded: "Yes, that's what I saw with my own eyes." ”

Wei Bujue asked again: "Okay! It's refreshing, then did you give him his killing sword!"

Huan Yin nodded again: "Yes, I gave it to him with my own hands." ”

Wei Bujue laughed: "You took the murder weapon, and you still asked why you came, it's a joke!"

Huan Yin also laughed, and asked rhetorically, "What is the sword used for?"

Wei Bujue thought that Huan Yin was stupid, and said: "The sword is a sharp weapon, and it is naturally used against the enemy!"

Huan Yin said: "Then do the guards in your house have swords?"

Wei Bujue replied: "Naturally, there is, otherwise why is it called a guard?"

Huan Yin laughed: "Many of the guards in the Little Prince's Mansion must have killed people, so why don't you arrest the owner of the shop that sold you the sword, he is the one who provided the murder weapon." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers laughed quietly, even the Third Prince and Wei Qianlong also laughed.

Wei Bujue's face was red, and the fifth prince also had a blue and white face, but he never spoke.

At the end, Huan Yin bowed to the emperor and said: "This is the first principle of the small people." This matter has nothing to do with Xiaomin, Xiaomin shouldn't have come, so why should people who don't come kneel?"

The emperor nodded: "Okay, the first reason is reasonable, you can talk about the second reason." ”

Huan Yin said: "This second reason, I want to say it for Wei Qianlong's little prince. Thinking about it, today, the little prince Wei Bujue sued the little prince Wei Qianlong to the imperial court, because he killed his own family, yes or no?"

Wei Bujue thought that Wei Qianlong's killing was seen by everyone, and he saw what other tricks you could say, so he replied confidently: "Naturally, yes, killing people pays for life, and it is justified." My Qingzhou is a just imperial land, and the prince is guilty of the same crime and the common people are equally treated. Wei Qianlong killed my family, and he should pay for his life!"

Huan Yin smiled and asked, "Then Wei Bujue Little Prince, may I ask why the Little Prince of Qianlong wants to kill your family?"

Wei Bujue was furious: "He colludes with bandits, it is common to rob homes and houses, and killing people is also one of his nature!"

Wei Qianlong was furious: "You are talking nonsense, if it weren't for you and your family to fight hard and seriously injure me that day, how would I have fought to defend myself? If there was no sword from Brother Huan that day, I would have died under the knife of your dog minions!"

Wei Bujue argued: "Killing is murder, what kind of self-defense, can self-defense kill people?"

Huan Yin laughed: "Wei Bujue's little prince, then if I swing a knife at you now, you will be killed?"

Wei Bujue's face was stunned, and he spit out the word "I" in his mouth and never said anything again.

Huan Yin came again: "Wei Bujue, little prince, if you say it, if there is an assassin in the palace, the emperor's life is in danger, but he can't let the guards escort him, right?

Huan Yin said in the end, and he broke off, making Wei Bujue sit on the ground in fright.

After a while, Wei Bujue whispered again: "You...... You said that Wei Qianlong was defending himself, but there were witnesses? There was no one else on the street that day but you, don't tell me that you have to testify yourself!"

Huan Yin laughed: "On that day, the two little princes fought hard, and the neighbors naturally hid back in the house and didn't dare to come out." But whether the neighbors have seen the truth of the facts, you must know it in your heart. If you insist on not admitting it, then summon a few neighbors in Green Willow Alley and ask them. ”

This time, Wei Bujue didn't speak for a long time, and everyone could see the truth at a glance. Huan Yin bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this is the second reason of Xiaomin." The little prince of the hidden dragon is self-defense, and the little prince of Wei Bujue is a false accusation, and I am afraid that such a thing as falsely accusing the royal court is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and the small people are also eye-opening today. Therefore, the little people do not kneel!" (To be continued.) )
