Text Season 7: The Battle of the Capital _ The Forty-ninth Chapter of "Phantom Spear (7)": Words into the theme
Last time, the emperor patiently discussed the next plan with the four of them, and after the words were over, Jiang Feng had the courage to beg the emperor to summon Fang Xinyao. You must know that Fang Yan is now guilty after all, even if he is a true dragon emperor, he doesn't want Liu Shichen to catch the handle, lest he become famous. But under Jiang Feng's repeated pleas, the emperor finally agreed.
Fang Xinyao looked in the direction where the voice came from, Jiang Feng was the leader, Yan Kuo followed, the two walked out slowly, and the 'door' of the imperial study was also closed. Fang Xinyao didn't know what was going on, and she was extremely worried in her heart, but she didn't want to rush forward, so she waited patiently for Jiang Feng and the others to come to her side. Fang Xinyao looked nervous, and asked softly: "Brother Jiang, you have been in for so long, did the emperor promise to see me?" Yan Kuo walked aside, and Jiang Feng said: "Don't worry, Miss Fang, I have already pleaded with the emperor, and the emperor has also promised to let you in to face the saint." You must be in a hurry, so let's get inside. Fang Xinyao couldn't believe her ears a little, and asked rhetorically: "Is what you said true? Brother Jiang!" Jiang Feng nodded affirmatively, and said positively: "I don't dare to joke about this kind of thing, it is a crime to deceive the king by falsely preaching the holy decree." Fang Xinyao suddenly smiled, Jiang Feng really hadn't seen her 'show' such a happy smile for a long time.
Fang Xinyao straightened her clothes and said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Yan, are you waiting for me here?" Yan Kuo said: "Miss Fang, the emperor has an order, let us leave the palace first, and after you are finished, the emperor will personally send someone to send you back to the Zhaoxian Pavilion safely." Jiang Feng also said: "Yes, so Brother Yan and I can only go back first, Miss Fang, you don't have to worry, the reason why the emperor did this must have his reasons, maybe you will have an unexpected gain." Fang Xinyao naturally knew what the windfall Jiang Feng was referring to, but this was not a simple matter after all, she didn't think too much about it, she just saluted Jiang and Yan to say goodbye, and then drove forward and came to the 'door' of the imperial study. Fang Xinyao suppressed the sound of heavy breathing, and carefully knocked on the 'door' of the imperial study.
Lu Jianfei's powerful voice came from inside the house: "The emperor has an order, please invite Fang Xinyao to enter the inner saint." Fang Xinyao gently pushed the 'door' open and closed it immediately. Jiang Feng was also relieved when he saw her enter the imperial study, and sighed: "Miss Fang, I can only help you get here, and the rest will depend on you." Yan Kuo patted him on the shoulder and said nonchalantly: "Let's go, we have already done what needs to be done, everyone has their own luck and good fortune, and we can't interfere with too much." Jiang Feng knew that Yan Kuo was comforting him, so he also smiled and nodded, and the two walked out of the palace together under the guidance of the chief eunuch.
"People's 'woman' Fang Xinyao, knock on the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!" Fang Xinyao knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise her head, and said softly. The emperor said in his heart: It is said that Fang Yanzhi's 'woman' is a hero among 'women', but why only has this courage. In fact, where does the emperor know the thoughts of her 'daughter' family, her father committed a capital crime, was thrown into the prison by the emperor, and may be beheaded at any time, and she, as a 'daughter', this is the first and probably the last time to face the saint, how can she 'waste' such a precious opportunity, so every sentence must not only be said decently, but also convey her wishes to the emperor to know, which makes Fang Xinyao, who has always had the style of everyone, a little 'messy'.
The emperor deliberately said sharply: "You are flat, I have a few words to ask you." Fang Xinyao stood up slowly, the emperor saw that she really had the temperament of everyone, although her face was tired, but she couldn't hide her outstanding appearance at all. The emperor couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, Fang Yan really gave birth to a good 'girl'." Fang Xinyao, I ask you, do you know what kind of crime your father committed?" Fang Xinyao said respectfully: "The people's 'daughter' knows that it is a capital crime of corruption and perversion of the law. The emperor suddenly stood up and asked, "Since you know, why do you still come to see me, you are only the Son of Heaven who is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that your father is just a prefect." Fang Xinyao knew that the emperor would definitely question herself like this, she paused before replying: "Your Majesty, although the people's 'daughter' knows the charges that the court has given to my father, but the people's 'daughter' also knows that my father has been an official for so many years, and he is an upright and honest official, and my father must have been framed, so please ask the emperor to find out." After hearing this, the emperor sneered and said: "Okay, you said that your father was framed by a 'traitor', what kind of evidence do you have?" You know, when Liu Ruohan went to your home to verify, he found a lot of physical evidence of gold, silver and jewelry, how do you explain it?" Although Fang Xinyao knew that it was Liu Gongzi who personally captured his father and went to Beijing, but when he heard what the emperor said, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
Fang Xinyao tried to take a deep breath and calm herself down before she said: "Your Majesty, my father has always been law-abiding, and although he has made great achievements for the official side, he has at least left a good reputation in the hearts of the people of Hangzhou. You can send someone to Hangzhou to inquire, I believe that whoever you are, you will know your father's way of being an official. The emperor asked: "Oh, why are you so confident, anyone who really asks you will say that your father is good?" Fang Xinyao nodded affirmatively, and said positively: "Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that the people will definitely say that my father is an honest official and dedicated to the people." After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so confident, it seems that Fang Yan is a good official who loves the people like a son." Fang Xinyao saw that the emperor's words had changed, and continued to add: "Your Majesty, please forgive the people's 'daughter' for speaking out. In the past few years, my father has been at odds with some officials in the DPRK and China in terms of political views, so they have long regarded my father as a thorn in the side of the 'flesh'. I believe that this raid will never happen by accident, but a trick by some officials in the DPRK and China who have been planning for a long time to harm my father. The emperor deliberately stared at Fang Xinyao, and then asked loudly: "Fang Xinyao, do you know that if what you just said is not based on real evidence, I can completely convict you of slandering the court officials, put you in a prison cell, and behead you in the next year?" Fang Xinyao was not frightened by the emperor's words, but resolutely said: "Your Majesty, the people's 'daughter' is not afraid of being questioned, but she is not convinced." When the emperor heard this, he asked with great interest: "Oh, are you still dissatisfied with my judgment?" Can you tell me what you are dissatisfied?" Fang Xinyao said righteously: "Your Majesty, some officials in the court and the central government have formed a party to run a 'private' and exclude dissidents, and I believe that the emperor will not be unaware of such a thing. If the emperor is 'deceived' by their words and kills a good official by mistake, it will be a big mistake and there is no way to regret it. Lu Jianfei heard Fang Xinyao's words becoming more and more sharp, and immediately stopped: "Bold Fang Xinyao, do you know that what you said just now is a capital offense against the saint?" The emperor smiled and said: "Jianfei, let her finish speaking, and then make a decision." Lu Jianfei had no choice but to stand aside, but secretly gave Fang Xinyao a 'look' and signaled her not to talk like this again.
Although Fang Xinyao knew that Lu Jianfei had good intentions, she ignored it completely, at this moment she had put life and death out of the way, even if she died, she had to present the truth to her father before she died, hoping that the emperor would be able to return her father's innocence in the future. Fang Xinyao said again: "Your Majesty, although my father has not been an official in the court for many years, he still remembers the emperor's country and society in his heart, and remembers the hardships and safety of the people of Limin. Over the years, he has served the court with all his heart and soul and been loyal to the country. But at the same time, my father will definitely offend some officials in the court because of his integrity, which will damage their interests, so that they will want to win over my father and enter their camp. If his father refused, they would write letters to threaten him, and then find some trumped-up charges to impose on his father, and finally achieve the goal of putting him to death. Your Majesty, you are a wise monarch and a good emperor in the hearts of the people, and the people's 'daughter' has the courage to fight today and implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of his father, severely punish the ill-intentioned 'traitor' thief, and return justice to his father. ”
The emperor suddenly got up, walked to Fang Xinyao's side, and said to her face to face: "Sure enough, it is the tiger father and the dogless 'daughter', today you can let me know that the rumors are true." In fact, there are still many doubts in your father's case, and I don't know that if I really want to put Fang Yan to death, then I don't need to put him in prison, wait until today. However, Fang Xinyao, do you know my difficulties?" Fang Xinyao just said from her own position, but she didn't estimate the emperor's situation at all, thinking of this, her forehead couldn't help but ooze cold sweat......
How about 'wanting' to know what's going on?
Let's see the next breakdown.
