Concubine Ben Xianliang

Old General Ding and Sima Ming didn't expect Prince Jin to explain the way to deal with them so clearly. They are important ministers in the court anyway, and the story of the assassin was only just started, and the guards who were looking for the assassin were still waiting. No return: When it is unclear whether the assassin was caught or not, without any personal or physical evidence, he and Sima Ming will face imprisonment?

They were not the only ones who couldn't confess. It did happen during the Taizong Dynasty, and it was related to the status of the empress at that time. It was not a star and a half higher than the two of them: there was also no one or anything to prove it. Empress Ai killed the second prince with poison, but the death of the second prince is inextricably linked to Empress Ai!

Almost anyone with a brain would think that the second prince's death had something to do with Empress Ai: Just like today's situation, Empress Ai was tied up.The Empress Ai, who had been a good dancer in the palace for many years, had no choice but to commit suicide to show her innocence in order to confess and for the life and future of the prince.

She left a ten-thousand-word suicide note, and only Emperor Taizong read it: people know what Emperor Taizong felt after reading it, but it is a fact that the crown prince will be deposed three years later.However, Empress Ai was buried with the empress's ceremony, but she was not buried with Taizong: Taizong therefore ordered another mausoleum to be built, and only Taizong's clothes accompanied Empress Ai.

Empress Ai could be regarded as washing away her grievances with death, but she still couldn't stop the enemy's footsteps: To be honest, such a death is worthless at all. [

Not only Old General Ding thinks so, but Sima Ming also thinks so. Of course they have heard about Empress Ai, but royal affairs cannot be discussed indiscriminately or indiscriminately, and they don’t usually bring it up: but But they never thought that the fate of Empress Ai, whom they laughed a few times and looked down upon, would now become their final result.

Of course they don't want to be imprisoned. You must know that they have many enemies in the court. At this time, there is no reason not to make trouble: and the people who want to try this matter must be members of the royal family, and it is very likely that they will be the head of Prince Jin. On: Even if the emperor doesn't use him, but if he speaks, the people of the royal family will always think about it, right?

Putting him in prison is also a dead end for him!

Sima Ming kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, I really have nothing to do with that assassin. Your loyalty to the Emperor can be shown in the sun and the moon."

Old General Ding also threw himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, although I have done something wrong, the Emperor who has been loyal for many years knows it. I will never do such a heart-breaking thing."

He is now going to play the favor card, trying to impress the emperor's heart with the friendship between the monarch and his ministers for many years.

The emperor snorted coldly: "The empress dowager and the empress dowager met the assassins, it is my disobedience! I must investigate this matter strictly. It is true that the two of you are suspicious everywhere, and let me let you go with just these two words." After you, can people come and go in and out of my palace at will, and kill whoever they want."

"You guys, it's better to explain clearly to me." The emperor looked at the old general Ding: "The last time you framed the princess of Fuguo, you personally wrote a letter to plead guilty. Because of your poor health, I didn't issue an order to punish you. , I want to ask you and Princess Fuguo to clarify when you recover and can go to court."

His gaze became colder and colder: "Now, you have once again framed Princess Chuguo in front of me! You, have a half-hearted repentance. You can't confess to the assassin, then the Zhu family is the victim of the murder!" You instigated to frame the princess of the country, can you confess?!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Old General Ding's heart sank." But until now he still doesn't understand why the emperor had such an outburst: It stands to reason that the emperor treated him very well, at least in the case of Zhu Zixuan, he had a lot of love for the Ding family. protect.

Why did he have to ask about his own crime today: He took a peek at the emperor and thought quickly: "I am ashamed of the assassin's confession, and I also want to make the assassin's matter known to the world, so as not to fall into the trap." The emperor in an unrighteous place: "Old General Ding kowtowed: "I am willing to go to the prison and wait for the truth to be revealed to the world."

There is still a glimmer of life in the supervisor, and I believe that person will not see him trapped in the prison."

I will definitely try to save him.

Hearing this, Sima Ming really wanted to slap veteran Ding. His Sima family is different from Ding's family. If he enters the sky prison, no matter what happens to the assassin, he will always be charged with crimes. It will be difficult for him to see the light of day. .

Old General Dan Ding is willing to wait for the emperor to investigate the matter of the assassin. How can he say he is not willing? The princess of Fuguo will definitely say that he has a guilty conscience. When the time comes, the emperor will come along. If the Ding family makes trouble again, then he It is absolutely physiological.

The thought changed in his mind, and he kowtowed in desperation: "Minister, second." He was a little incoherent." At this time, he actually said the word second.

I really didn't expect Prince Jin to be so insidious, a few words "forced" them out of the way: besides the matter of assassins, there is also the matter of the Zhu family slandering the princess of the country. Too much convenience for the princess of the country and the others: the princess of the country and others are benefited", which means they are at a disadvantage.

But what can be done?He really didn't know if Old General Ding had something wrong with his brain, and he actually made the decision to go to the prison right now: No matter how nice your words are, the emperor must be able to listen to him.

The emperor nodded slightly: "You don't have to live in the sky prison. I ordered someone to clean up a place for you. I can't wrong you too much. How to say, it's just that you are suspicious now. I know very well: when the time comes I really wronged you, I will give you an explanation."[

Old General Ding's complexion changed slightly. Although it was subtle and difficult to detect, it showed the shock in his heart: the emperor actually wanted to put them under house arrest, and naturally he would assign the emperor's confidantes to take care of them. They: Don't say to send a letter to the family at that time, even if a bug flies to them, it is impossible.

The emperor is not suspicious, he has almost confirmed it, and he will not give them any chance to get rid of the crime: the disaster of prison will definitely not escape now, and the bitterness in Old General Ding's mouth is hard to understand.

But God didn't give him a chance. Before Old General Ding could open his mouth, people from the Imperial Academy over there came up and said that they had seen the letter clearly through experience.

Old General Ding and Sima Ming's hearts were raised again, and Sima Ming couldn't help but look at Old General Ding: He didn't know if there were any flaws in that letter, and he could only hope that Old General Ding's hands and feet could be a little smoother: because , This is the only chance, the chance to make the emperor not believe in the Princess Fuguo, is now the straw to save their lives.

The academicians of the Imperial Academy are not young, but they look very energetic: they are noble people in the court, and they rarely get involved in government affairs and other things, but they are closer to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, after careful inspection, I confirmed that the paper on which the letter was written was indeed ten years ago: "He went straight to the matter after saluting, without any nonsense: "I am not the only one who thinks so, the four of us all think so."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing!There was no expression on the emperor's face, it was as if he was wearing a mask, it was very unnatural but no one could know what was going on in his heart.

The empress dowager's face changed drastically, and she looked at Zixuan with disbelief in her eyes, and then looked at the emperor, thinking about how to end it: Even if the Princess Fuguo had a bad heart for Shang Tang, she was extremely loyal to Shang Tang, but her mother But it is a lurking enemy!Based on this, it is impossible for Zixuan to become a nobleman in Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the lady who protects the country has been shaved, and the person is dead: Now that the emperor knows that he shaved the wrong person, how can he face himself if he does not take back his will?And how to face the world. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you don't take back your will, don't punish the descendants of Mrs. Huguo, if someone knows about this matter, how will the emperor face the world.

But if the decree is withdrawn, how can this letter alone convince the [-] border guards?If, as Zhu Zixuan said, those one hundred thousand soldiers developed resentment towards the imperial court because of this, it would be a catastrophe.

At this time, thinking of the one hundred thousand soldiers that Zixuan just mentioned, the Queen Mother felt very cold. She didn't know whether it was the Ding family or the Sima family who wanted to anger those soldiers, or Zixuan who wanted to anger those soldiers.

The Empress Dowager was not only surprised, but also felt great panic in her heart. If Zhu Zixuan was found guilty today and executed or exiled, wouldn't she die under the worm? !How to do how to do?She gritted her teeth secretly, she could only try to save Zhu Zixuan's life, um, if that didn't work, she would bring her by her side and make another plan.

I only hope that Zhu Zixuan will not use that worm to force her to act excessively in front of the emperor and the empress dowager at the last moment: You know, the emperor and the empress dowager are very dissatisfied with her. Here, she might have been sent to the cold palace or nunnery long ago.

Old General Ding and Sima Ming were ecstatic, and Sima Ming's face was filled with joy: "The way of heaven and earth has finally given them a chance for the Sima family to survive."And Old General Ding's face drooped slightly, so that people could not see the expression on his face.

Old General Ding tried his best to suppress the ecstasy welling up in his heart, that man was indeed as careful as a hair, he didn't even leave such a flaw!Sure enough, I didn't choose the wrong person at the beginning.After he calmed down, he looked up at Zixuan, with only one sentence in his eyes: Zhu Zixuan, your time of death has arrived.

Zixuan looked at him calmly: "Your Majesty, so what if the paper was ten years ago? There are also papers that have been stored for ten years. It cannot be concluded that the letter was written by the concubine's mother."

The emperor nodded and looked at the academician of the Imperial Academy: "I have checked the calligraphy, which kind of ink do you use?" He still had an expression on his face when he asked, because old ink is easier to find than paper, so he didn't ask whether the ink is old or new.

Because some good ink will always be kept by people and not used, but what can be kept is good ink, which can be said to be a good thing worth thousands of gold. How can I find precious ink outside? ! .
