Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 649 Entering the Palace ([-])
Emperor Yuan Zhen said without hesitation: "When Li Xianzhao's matter is verified clearly, I will make a decision."

Bai Mingwei slowly raised his eyes, his calm gaze fell on Emperor Yuan Zhen, questioning him as if he could penetrate the soul.

And her words were exactly the same as her actions: "May I ask Your Majesty, are there any details about Li Xianzhao that need to be verified?"

Emperor Yuan Zhen replied impatiently: "Princess Anning, please be patient. Li Xianzhao has committed a serious crime. This is the most serious case in Dongling in a century. It will take time to sort through the evidence, analyze the causes and consequences, and wait until the whole Once the case is sorted out clearly, a conclusion will come."

Bai Mingwei said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the evidence in Li Xianzhao's case is complete, and his trial records must clearly explain how he killed the soldiers."

"The situation is basically clear. Under this premise, does your Majesty still believe that the defeat of Yinshan was entirely due to the incompetence of my father, uncle and brother's command?"

"Doesn't Your Majesty still feel that the reason why the whole matter came to such a result is because of Li Xianzhao's collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country?"

"At this time, Your Majesty, do you still insist that my father, uncle and brother are guilty? Do you think they should bear the consequences of the defeat of Yinshan? Do you think that they are still cowards who fought until the last moment?!"

Bai Mingwei spoke one sentence at a time, and the end of each sentence was cut cleanly.

Her fearless gaze made Emperor Yuan Zhen's suppressed anger rise again.

Emperor Yuan Zhen slammed the table, but said nothing.

He stared intently at the trial records. If what was recorded above was correct, the Bai family was indeed not to blame for the defeat. In that case, there was nothing they could do.

But the facts are one thing, and His holy will is one thing.

He just couldn't stand Bai Weiyong and wanted everyone related to Bai Weiyong to die neatly.

Therefore, those men in the Bai family should always be buried in the ground with the stigma of cowards when they die.

Now that Bai Mingwei asked him so frankly and straightforwardly, how could he not become furious?
In his rage, everyone fell silent.

Bai Mingwei still raised his head and looked at him for a moment.

The eyes were so pure that he didn't dare to look directly at them.

But he still didn't let go, that was his bottom line.

However, in the view of Grand Tutor Song Chengzhang, today's bottom line is meant to be challenged.

So Song Chengzhang stepped out from the crowd and said in a caring tone: "Your Majesty seems to be troubled, but is it difficult to judge the merits and demerits of everyone in the Bai family?"

"If this is the case, I think we can organize a joint trial among the three divisions and order them to collate and verify all the evidence and judge it in accordance with the law. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Of course not!
Whenever Old Man Song asks this question, the answer must be no!
But the old man was not wrong either.

Emperor Yuan Zhen's excuse for delaying the decision was that it was a matter of great importance, but Song Chengzhang used "the matter of great importance" to explain the matter and proposed a joint trial by the three agencies.

If such a game was really set up, Qin Fengye would not be able to escape.

Emperor Yuan Zhen looked at Bai Mingwei and then at Song Chengzhang, and then he realized that the two of them were singing a double act for him!

There is no dispute that Bai Mingwei represents the Bai family, but Song Chengzhang, an old guy, represents...

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Zhen's eyes fell on the silent Queen Mother.

His eyes were cold and ruthless, not like looking at his mother, but like looking at an enemy.

Finally, he closed the trial record angrily and helplessly, and said slowly: "The matter is already very clear. There is no need to mobilize a large number of people to try it all over again. It should be settled earlier and give an explanation to the world earlier." At this point, his voice sounded like Covered in sand.

It can be seen that he is very angry.

His chest heaved for a while before he squeezed out these few words: "Based on Li Xianzhao's confession, it's not that the Bai family is incompetent, but that the enemy is insidious and cunning, and it's hard to guard against it."

"Therefore, everyone in the Bai family is not guilty. As for how to recover the title, let the Ministry of Rites discuss it carefully. At that time, a memorial can be prepared for my imperial approval."

He spoke so reluctantly and perfunctorily.

Fortunately, he didn't say much. If he continued, he would definitely be unable to keep up the filthy words that kept coming from his mouth.

Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu thanked each other in unison again: "Thank you Lord for your kindness."

Emperor Yuan Zhen could hardly contain his anger. If this court affair continued, he would probably become so angry that he would vomit blood and die.

Just when he wanted the chamberlain to announce his resignation, the Queen Mother's voice sounded again: "How to pursue a title, what title to pursue, our court has countless precedents to follow."

"According to the Ai family, there are still so many things waiting to be resolved, and there is no need to delay this matter any longer. The Ministry of Rites will immediately follow the old practice and draw up the details of the posthumous title for everyone in the Bai family, and leave it to the emperor to decide on the spot."

The emperor's eyes fell on the Queen Mother again, and the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.

Everyone is targeting him, everyone is disobedient to him, even his own mother, who stands against him for the sake of outsiders.

It seems that even raw flesh and blood cannot be believed.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing he can do.

Because he knew that this was the condition for the Queen Mother to agree to keep Qin Fengye.

How can one know nothing about the holy will when he is in the position of Minister of Rites?
He had already seen that the emperor did not want to bestow honors on the men of the Bai family. Even if the Queen Mother hinted that he would still make a plan, he would not dare to do so!

Just when he was trembling, Emperor Yuan Zhen spoke: "Minister of Rites, did you hear what the Queen Mother said?"

The Minister of Rites quickly knelt down and said, "I accept your order!"

Just when the Minister of Rites was racking his brains to pursue the posthumous title, Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu slowly let go of their tightly held hands.

The palms of my hands were all sweaty.

Since the Queen Mother handed the trial records to Emperor Yuan Zhen, they have taken the initiative, but it seems easy, but in fact they are walking on the edge of a knife.

Once Emperor Yuan Zhen goes crazy, they will be doomed.

Fortunately, their judgment about Emperor Yuanzhen was correct. Emperor Yuanzhen cared about face the most, even more than his life.

Fortunately, when the king was fatuous and the sycophants were rampant, there was still such a wise old queen.

Bai Mingwei was still kneeling on the ground, but she slowly retracted her gaze and lowered her head slightly - as long as the matter of her father, uncle and brother was finalized, the courtiers would have to work hard for the next thing.

She believed that the outcome would not be too bad.
