Dijun, your bride ran away again

Chapter 522
The next day, the emperor decreed that Han Xiangyu's crime of murdering King Ling should be made public, and his identity as the remnant of the former prince of Donglin was exposed.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.

The four powerful families that dominated Xiyue in the past collapsed one after another in less than a month, and now the last remaining Han Xiangfu was wiped out overnight.

For a moment, the court shook, and the dragons had no leader, like a plate of loose sand.

in the palace.

Because of Han Xiang's incident, Ye Hongze's illness became more and more serious. He hadn't slept well for several days. Before, he just couldn't sleep well and woke up frequently. Now when he closes his eyes, it's a bloody nightmare that lingers on.

The four great dignitaries who were originally restraining each other have all been uprooted now. King Ling's power in the capital has exceeded his imagination, and his son has made good friends with King Ling, which makes him feel like the west is going to become the east. The sense of crisis facing the country.

He let out a long sigh, rubbed his forehead with his hands, and heard Gao Fu's voice: "Your Majesty, the luthier from Lanfang Pavilion has brought."

"Come in."

Ye Hongze was leaning on the dragon couch with a tired expression, and when he looked up, he saw a woman in red walking in with a stringed qin in her arms.

The woman's face was covered with a veil, only revealing a pair of bright eyes, with gleams in her eyes, seductive for no reason.She blessed every style, and said in a clear and joyful voice: "Minister Hongying has seen the emperor."

Ye Hongze's gaze fell on her, and he could hardly move away. It is natural for men to like women, especially beautiful women, not to mention that he is the emperor.

It's just that he has been greedy for beauty all these years, and has lost his health, and now he is already unable to do what he wants, so he can't help feeling a little regretful.

Ye Hongze sighed lightly, and said without her courtesy: "I heard that your piano skills are superb, you can heal patients and save lives? I can't sleep for many days, if your piano sound can make me fall asleep, I will reward you a lot .”

Hongying lowered her head and said, "Minnv is willing to give it a try."

"Then let's get started."

Ye Hongze lay on the dragon couch, closed his eyes, and soon heard the graceful sound of the piano wafting into his ears, which made him feel comfortable all over his body, as if he was floating up.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep and was no longer troubled by nightmares.

Beyond a curtain, Hongying who was playing the piano looked at Ye Hongze who had slept peacefully on the dragon couch, her lips curled up slightly under the veil, and a cunning glint flashed across her eyes.

In a few days it will be winter.

And winter is a good day.

……

Ling Wang Mansion.

Sitting on the table, Mu Youning bit his chopsticks, tilted his head and looked at Ye Mingjue, who was eating, and asked suspiciously: "It is clear that Prime Minister Han should be punished for his crimes, why did you give me a glass of poisoned wine? "

Ye Mingjue raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "If you asked to beheaded, you would have collided with the regent king. It would be a bit overwhelming, not good!"

The corners of Mu Youning's lips twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "What's the reason? Also, what day can't you ask to be cut? Why are you crowded in one day?"

Ye Mingjue said: "You don't understand this, do you? Do you know why the regent waited until after autumn to ask for execution?"

Mu Youning really doesn't know, she used to hear the word "Qiuhou asked to be cut" in TV dramas before, but she didn't understand why it was autumn. According to her understanding, it should mean the suspension of execution, right?

Ye Mingjue saw her bewildered face, so he explained to her: "There is an old saying, there are four seasons in the sky, and the king has four policies: spring for celebration, summer for reward, autumn for punishment, and winter for punishment.

Therefore, the questioning and beheading is generally carried out in autumn and winter, especially for the most heinous death row criminals, it will be scheduled on this day in winter, so as to conform to the destiny. "
