Chapter 138: You're Thinking Too Much
Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Cao Xiongcai stepped into the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Lin Yuyan, the beautiful daughter of the Lin family, and her brother Lin Yuchen and her mother Nangong Yanran, have already been brought. ”
"Xuan. ”
Zhao Xin said in a deep voice.
Cao Xiong led the three of them into the hall.
The three of them came to the palace and saluted Zhao Xin's Empress Dowager Zhao Cui.
After the ceremony, Lin Yuchen couldn't help the indignation in his heart, and glared angrily at Cui Cen, "Old thief, do you know who Lin is?"
Cui Cen's eyes moved slightly, glanced at him, and then lowered his eyes and said, "It's just a fish that slipped through the net." ”
"You ......"
Cui Cen's words made Lin Yuchen furious, and Lin Yuyan hurriedly reached out to grab him.
Then he bowed down again and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Lin Yuyan, the daughter of the former Prime Minister Lin Hongyue, and her brother Lin Yuchen and her mother Nangong Yanran, I implore Your Majesty to be my father, my mother, and more than 1,300 Zhaoxue of the Lin family!"
Because the occasion is different, and she represents Lin Hongyue and the Lin family, Lin Yuyan is called a minister, not a concubine or a concubine.
Because at this moment, she and Zhao Xin are not husband and wife, master and slave, but monarch and minister.
She pleaded not with her husband, but with the monarch.
Then Cui Cen framed Lin Hongyue, and brutally slaughtered more than 1,300 members of the Lin family, and imprisoned his mother Nangong Yanran, so that Nangong Yanran could only self-disfigure, take dumb medicine, and save her name.
But Cui Cen used her as a threat, and did not allow Nangong Yanran to commit suicide, so she could only be a slave in Cui's mansion for 16 years.
Although his brother Lin Yuchen escaped with his life back then, he was almost split in half with a knife, and now he is not only ruined, but also tortured by hatred every night, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.
Speaking of this, Lin Yuyan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Thinking that he has recognized the thief as his father all these years, he is now by his side but he doesn't know it, and when he sees his brother, it is still difficult to choose because of the so-called nurturing grace of the thief.
It wasn't until I saw Nangong Yanran, who was still silent and disfigured, that I knew that the mute raccoon-clothed maid who secretly stuffed a jade pendant into her back then was actually her mother.
And Cui Cen's adoption of himself is not a kindness, he simply uses himself as a tool to torture his mother, and then tries to use himself against the emperor.
I can't help but feel remorseful and difficult to hold onto.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but inhale secretly.
Even Zhao Xin and the Queen Mother, although they already knew about it, couldn't help but feel related.
Looking at Nangong Yanran, who was just crying silently, unable to speak, and her face was completely ruined, I thought that she used to be the first beauty in Daqin, but now she looks like this.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of inexplicable indignation and sorrow.
The Lin family is really miserable!
Everyone looked at Cui Cen again, but it was no longer just looking at a powerful minister who was about to fall like before.
Although everyone had counted their sins before, those sins were just a concept for everyone.
And now I can't help but have a real feeling for Cui Cen's evil.
Zhao Xin took a deep breath and motioned to Cao Xiong with his eyes to invite Lin Yuyan and the three of them down.
After the three of them went down, they finally couldn't help but slap the armrest of the dragon chair and looked at Cui Cen, "Cui Cen, are you guilty?"
Cao Xiong saw that Zhao Xin's emotions were a little out of control, and he couldn't help but bend down and whisper in his ear to remind: "Your Majesty is angry, the big thing is important." ”
He knew that the emperor's court meeting today was aimed at Cui Cen on the surface, but in fact, the real purpose was to use this as a breakthrough to abolish the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This point was clearly stated by the emperor in the discussion with Liu Muzhi and others last night.
Last night, Cui Cen was specially asked to stay in the Sino-Korean duty room for a night, and gave him a hint, the purpose is for this.
Otherwise, Cui Cen's current situation does not need to be so much of a move, a holy decree, and a glass of poisoned wine can solve it.
This court meeting is just to bring this matter to a happy ending, and by the way, to abolish the Prime Minister's Mansion in one fell swoop.
But at this time, the emperor's mood seemed to be a little out of control, and Cao Xiong hurriedly reminded him.
In fact, his worries were unnecessary, although Zhao Xin was really angry, he really wanted to simply give an order to push this old thief out and cut it down.
In fact, there was no need for him to order, and immediately someone stood up and spoke one after another.
Some people say that Cui Cen should be pushed out and abandoned in the city, and some people say that Ling Chi should be executed.
There are even people clamoring to punish the nine clans of the Cui clan.
Of course, some people advocate that it is still necessary to follow the laws of the country and be punished after trial by the court lieutenant and the judge!
But there weren't many of them, and they were immediately ridiculed.
"Tingwei, don't you know that Tingwei is his son?"
Some people even sneered, "In my opinion, I'm afraid you are also a party of the Cui family, right?"
This was followed by a round of scolding.
It wasn't until Zhao Xin slapped the case again that everyone quieted down.
Zhao Xin's gaze swept over everyone and fell on Cui Cen's head again, "Cui Cen, why don't you speak?"
Cui Cen opened his eyes when he heard this, his eyes were no longer the waves he had before, and he said unusually calmly: "The minister is guilty, but the minister has something to say?"
"Hehe, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Xin sneered, "Since you are guilty, what else can you say?"
Everyone else sneered.
Cui Cen smiled slightly: "The minister is guilty, but the minister is not the only one who is guilty." ”
Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, but still asked, "Oh, you still have the same party?"
"It's nature. ”
Cui Cen smiled indifferently, "But aren't all the minister's comrades already in His Majesty's prison?
As soon as he said this, the expressions of several people in the hall immediately changed slightly, Cui Luan's expression was like a wood carving as always, but Cui Wenhao couldn't help but open his mouth to speak.
But in the end, he didn't speak.
But I heard Cui Cen laugh again: "The person I am talking about is not the same party, but someone else, these people ......"
Cui Cen paused slightly when he said this, his eyes suddenly swept to the ministers in the hall, and he said hesitantly: "These people are the ministers present and the families of the world behind you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent, and then many people's expressions couldn't help but be gloomy.
Zhao Xin also didn't expect that he thought that this person was going to put the responsibility on the first emperor?
Who knew that this person directly pointed the finger at the world's families.
This really surprised Zhao Xin, but then he understood this person's intentions, this person already knew that when Lu Qian and others knocked on the que, the famous house in Beijing endorsed the emperor.
So I felt that I had failed, all because of these families, and even thought that the emperor had united with the family, so he fought back on the verge of death, not only disgusting him, but also disgusting those families.
Zhao Xin figured it out, although he was indeed a little caught off guard.
Unexpectedly, this guy didn't care about Cui Zhihao's life or death at all, and he was disgusted with him when he was dying, and he was given a chance to pick out the contradictions between the court and the family.
But he didn't panic, because Cui Cen probably didn't expect that he didn't have any alliance with the family, let alone reach any compromise with the family in order to deal with Cui Cen.
On the contrary, he also took the opportunity to take a blood from the family by selling his head, which Cui Cen probably never imagined.
Therefore, Cui Cen wanted to disgust him with a way to target the family, and he thought too much.
