Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 125 The King of Jin seduces a prostitute
The auction was interrupted, and Yu Wenhuaji escorted the captured Ashina to the Jingzhao Mansion Office. Yu Qing was not there, so Yu Wenhuaji followed Yang Guang's orders and guarded Ashina by himself, and could not let him have any problems. We need to carefully examine who is behind this to allow Ashina to cause trouble.

The next day, I didn't know that the news about last night's auction was spreading everywhere. All the rumors were: "The concubine of the King of Jin is Nanxi, a famous courtesan and oiran."

It was obviously premeditated. The other party just wanted to establish the truth about Yang Guang and Nanxi. However, Yang Guang did not expect to engage in such publicity. It seems that in the future, he will have to publish the newspaper as soon as possible to control the public opinion. In this way, the people will be able to control the truth of things in their own hands.

In the morning, a eunuch came to the palace, and it was Zheng Yun, the messenger eunuch in the palace. Zheng Yun rushed to come every time he had an errand to Prince Jin's palace. Prince Jin was nice to talk to and generous with his actions.

This time Zheng Yun looked solemn and said to Yang Guang on the way: "Your Highness, the two saints are not very happy today. Rumors about you are rampant outside, saying that you like prostitutes and hang out with famous prostitutes and courtesans."

"The news reached the palace so quickly. I wonder who sent it in?"

"This servant doesn't know anything about this. I only know that the ministers were talking about it this morning. Mainly because this matter came out when you were investigating the case. You also said that there was a lot of commotion at the auction yesterday, and this servant didn't I don’t know who mentioned it first, but it seems that many ministers already know about it.”

Yang Guang thought about it, and it seemed that only His Royal Highness could handle this matter. He ordered Wang Yi beside him: "Wang Yi, go to the Jingzhao Mansion Office quickly and ask people to interrogate Ashina quickly to find out who was behind it. "

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Yi quickly set off.

At the entrance of the palace, Yang Guang walked towards the main hall. Today's morning court was still going on. He had been too lazy to participate in the morning court because he had nothing to do recently. He had to stand for an hour or two when he came. It was very tiring to stand.

Yang Guang walked into the hall, and Yang Jian sat high on it.

"My son sees my father."

"Prince Jin is ill at home today. He is feeling better."

When he was asked about asking for sick leave, Yang Guang could only lower his voice and said, "I was hit by the cold wind yesterday and my throat was dry and hoarse. I was afraid of the cold and infection, so I asked for leave."

Yang Jian did not pursue the matter, but changed the topic to the main matter: "There are rumors outside that you have a close relationship with a prostitute from Yunya Pavilion. This matter has made a big fuss, and it has been brought to the court. At that time, It would be unpleasant if the prince had an affair with a prostitute. Can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Who? Who is framing my son? Father, you can't listen to the villain." Yang Guang stared at the people in the court without giving an inch.

Naturally, everyone in the court did not dare to stand up and speak, otherwise they would have to confront Yang Guang.

Yang Jian looked at the ministers' ulterior motives and said, "Since there are rumors, there must be something going on."

"Father, if you spread rumors with your mouth, you will lose your legs if you refute them. Others can slander me at will without any actual evidence. I am more unjust than Dou E. I am so inviting for others to frame me. Since they say this, Let them come up with actual evidence, I will confront them in court, who will say it first."

Seeing that Yang Guang was looking for someone, these people who either had something in their minds or heard rumors didn't dare to come out because no one had any proof.

The emperor stopped him: "The royal family has much stricter requirements on themselves than others. The ministers told me that you don't have to be like this. Let me ask you, is it true that there are rumors that you once dived into the water to save the oiran?"

"Really, my father and mother have asked about this before. I was ordered to investigate the evil spirit case at that time. Nan Xi is an important witness and has been working hard to help find evidence of the crime. Because I was kidnapped and fell into the water, I was there. Next to her, you can’t just ignore her, your son and she are completely innocent, except when you dived into the water to save others, we never even touched her.”

Faced with Yang Guang's righteous words, all the officials in the court didn't know what to say.

Yang Jian was very satisfied with Yang Guang's performance. Since you are talking about the rumors about my son, who of you can provide evidence in court? He then asked Yang Guang: "I heard that there was someone at the auction held in Chang'an Chen Market yesterday. There was something going on at the venue, and the oiran was the one rumored before. You were responsible for the auction. Do you have any cooperation with her?"

The auction that the emperor said was directly confirmed was conducted by Yang Guang. There were only rumors before, but there was no confirmation, and the ministers were not very sure whether it was true or not.

"Yes, because she was investigating the case for Erchen, Yunya Pavilion could no longer be opened, and she had lost her livelihood. Erchen felt that if she didn't help investigate the case, it would be more than that. This is someone who is willing to provide clues to the court. It cannot be said that she would not let her I don’t care about people when they’re in trouble, so I asked her to come to the auction as an opening supporter, just to introduce the auction items and other things, without any other contact.”

Yang Guang's answer still had no questions.

The main thing is that when we sit upright, our voices will be louder when we speak.

Yang Jian looked around: "Some people say that you robbed two civilian girls and brought them to your house. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Yang Guang smiled knowingly. Although it was different from what he expected, Yuan Tiantian's plan seemed to be officially ready to go online. "Slander is absolutely slander. I cannot do such a thing."

At this time, an official finally stood up. It was a low-ranking official. The young man was called Li Shao. He was obviously pulled out to be the leader. It was also an opportunity for him to show his face. If he could help the prince on this matter in the court, If Yang Guang is defeated, a good career and a great road to heaven await him.

After Li Shao saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, I have seen your Majesty accept two women into the palace, and the fathers of the two women came to the door and lamented. They should be Yun Zhaoxun's father, so they recognize him." , those two women are twins, the youngest daughters of Yun Dingxing."

When he heard Yun Dingxing and thought of Yun Luo, the emperor's eyes showed a trace of displeasure. Yun Luo was an extremely disliked person to both him and the Queen. Perhaps because she was pregnant with the child, the Queen had such an attitude towards her. Okay, let her feel that what happened before is in the past.

Yang Jian was a little unhappy, why was he related to this family again?

"Prince Jin, is this possible?"

"Yun Dingxing's two daughters, Yun Rui and Yun Qi, are both in my house. This matter is true, but it is different from what he said. It is not that I am detaining the two girls, but there is something hidden."

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is the secret?"

If Yang Guang followed his words and told everything about Yang Yongyun and Luo Yun Dingxing's desire to have the two women serve together, the court would be shocked. This matter would be too much both emotionally and rationally. .

But he can't say.

Because he now has evidence of this matter through Yun Rui and Yun Qi's confession. The prince and Yun Luo insist that there is no such thing and that the two sisters made it up. If Yun Dingxing goes over there, he becomes the one biting the prince. People, if you say something to me when the time comes, Yang Guang may be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Yang Guang's purpose was not to convict the prince because of this incident, but to let his mother and queen firmly remember what scandalous things Yun Luo and others had done, just as Yuan Tiantian planned. Have a child and forget about it.

The prince lowered his head and smiled in the dark, as if to say, say it, say it, say it, say everything the Yun family twins said to you.

"Reporting to my father, the two girls Yunrui and Yunqi once studied music theory at the residence. The same is true for coming here this time. They simply wanted to learn the skills of musicians. Meng Lan felt that the two of them were destined, so she let them stay at the residence temporarily. Li Shao said that Yun Dingxing had a sad face. He was obviously happy when he left my house, but why did he look sad when he came to your mouth? Father, why don't you ask Yun Dingxing to confront you."

Li Shao didn't expect that Yang Guang would not play the cards they wanted.

According to their thinking, first of all, Yang Guang would deny keeping two twin girls in the house to avoid people's imagination, but Yang Guangda admitted it frankly, and Yang Guang caught Yun Rui and Yunqi to complain about being sacrificed to the prince. It was just right to hold on to it, but they didn’t say a word about it.

Why should Yun Dingxing confront him at this time?In the end, you can't stand up to anything without saying anything.

"Father, you see, a bunch of people are framed by my son, but there is no proof at the end. This is hearsay, this is added to the jealousy, and the last news that comes out is that my son has become a treacherous and evil person without doing anything. Even if you are like this, others are even worse. It is too easy to falsely accuse people like this. If they say I robbed people’s girls, then I will rob people’s girls? If they frame me tomorrow for robbing people’s lives, will I become a murderer?”

Yang Guang spoke with full of grievance and sincerity.

Li Shao said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, we are doing it for His Highness's good, otherwise there will always be rumors outside. Too many rumors will be detrimental to His Highness. Just like the Yunya Pavilion Oiran incident, there is always a lot of news on the market, and everyone will listen to it. Now, why don't your Majesty send someone to interrogate the Yunya Pavilion oiran, and then formally post a notice before going out, so that a prostitute can't ruin the reputation of His Highness the King of Jin."

Yang Guang looked at Li Shao, his eyes were one-third murderous, one-third contemptuous, and one-third disgusting.

As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. Sometimes, if you can't beat the owner, you have to beat the dog to show the owner. Yang Guang was about to target him, but he was interrupted.

"Yes, we need to have a trial to prevent Amo from being wrongly accused."

At this moment, Queen Dugu's voice came from outside the palace. The queen, who was solemn and elegant in a phoenix robe, walked slowly with the support of the palace maid.

As he walked, he said: "I just said that today's morning court is almost at lunch time. I came here to see if Your Majesty is hungry. Unexpectedly, I heard something about Prince Jin."

"Amo is the child of me and Your Majesty. I have known his temperament since he was a child. Recently, there have been more rumors about him. I have heard some in the palace. This is very bad. Since it is said that he will be tried, then Although the woman is a prostitute, she has not committed any crime, and according to His Majesty’s Imperial Law, she cannot be arrested and imprisoned for interrogation.”

"Since it is a woman's matter, I dare to ask His Majesty for an order, and I will personally judge it!"
