When Shen Lang mentioned it, he seemed to remember that it was in the courtroom.
So Xuan Xiao Dingfei paid his respects.
The eyes of the ministers immediately turned to the door of the main hall—
This is the legendary Dingfei Shizi!
Saved the emperor's life.
And he also has the blood of the Xiao and Yan clans, even if the Yan clan is now down, just relying on his identity as the eldest son of the Xiao clan, he can set off a storm in the capital. This time, he came back so unexpectedly in the process of destroying the Heavenly Sect, which is really intriguing.
"Xiao Dingfei, the guilty minister, has an audience, long live my emperor!"
A loud voice, a bit of excitement in the grief.
Everyone was shocked.
Taking a closer look, the man who walked in was a tall man with prominent features, wearing a robe of azurite brocade and gold threads. His eyebrows were quite similar to that of Duke Dingguo, Xiao Yuanguo, who stood in front of him. The corners of the lips and eyes were a little more romantic and unrestrained, and there was some extravagance that should not be underestimated.
As soon as he came in from the outside, Shen Lang's eyes were fixed on him.
Almost saw him from the head to the feet.
In an instant, my heart was overturned!
It's just that he has been sitting on the throne for more than four years, not to mention that he has experienced all kinds of disputes between the court and the court when he seized the heir. Yan Dayue, even the face that looked a little gloomy because of a bit of ill looks turned rosy, said: "Twenty years, twenty years, I never expected to see you again. To you! Quickly flatten, quickly flatten."
This emperor is so fucking capable.
Xiao Dingfei only felt knee pain when he knelt on the ground. No one dared to ask him to kneel when he was in the Heavenly Sect, and he came to this crap court with a bunch of rules. It's just that in the current situation, a bad actor will lose his head, and he only dares to slander a few words, but his face is moved and he stands up.
Tears are coming.
More than ten years ago, when a beggar was begging for food on the street, he did not lose his skills at all, and people in the main hall burst into tears: "Let's go every 20 years, far away from the capital, trapped in the sect of heaven, and unable to save the saint. In danger and unable to swear allegiance to the imperial court, sinful ministers, sinful ministers…”
Duke Ding Xiao Yuan was standing beside him. It could be said that he watched Xiao Dingfei come back all the way, but he felt like a stranger and had no contact with him.
How did he expect him to worship like this when he went to the temple
For a time he was stunned.
Shen Lang was still calmer, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked very puzzled: "Well, why do you call yourself a 'criminal minister'?"
Xiao Dingfei had memorized the words by heart, and he opened his mouth and said, "When King Pingnan invaded the capital, the sinner and the sage were both young, how could they dare to put the sage in danger? Loyal to the monarch and patriotism, it is the duty of a minister. Once you go to death, I never thought that I could survive. When the thief of King Pingnan saw me, he immediately sent someone to pull the eunuchs in the palace to identify me. I have been reading for the saint since childhood, and most of the eunuchs in the palace recognized me. It was just like the queen at that time. Niangniang, no, now it's time to call the empress dowager. As expected by the empress dowager, although the eunuch recognized me, he also knew who was the orthodox Tianhuang. According to the explanation of the empress, the eunuch did not wait for the eunuch to speak. He sternly called himself 'orphan' and scolded the other party. The eunuch did not dare to reveal my identity, and King Pingnan thought I was the prince."
Not many people in the court and the opposition knew what happened back then.
Without him, when King Pingnan's army entered the capital twenty years ago, they first killed all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and not a few people survived at all. The officials who were promoted later were naturally much younger than before. If it wasn't for this, it seems that among the civil servants who are like Xie Wei, no matter how great the credit is, they will never be able to sit in the position of "Prince and Young Master", one of the three orphans of the court.
Listening to Xiao Dingfei's story at this moment, I couldn't help being startled.
Only then did I understand that what happened back then was thanks to the empress dowager, who came up with a miraculous plan, and dared to use Li Dai's peach stubbornness to save the saint's life!
Xiao Dingfei sneered in his heart, but he wiped a tear on his face, and continued: "Pingnan King is a chaotic thief, he hates the late emperor so much, even if he asks someone to tie me up, he will use it to blackmail the late emperor. I asked them to honor their promise and let the three hundred boys go. King Pingnan laughed at that time, saying that a man can't be chased if he says a word, and then... "
When it comes to this, there are some things that can't be said.
The thin beads hanging down from the Twelve Crowns covered Shen Lang's face with a faint shadow, making it difficult for others to spy on his complexion, only to hear him ask, "How?"
Xiao Dingfei suddenly knelt back to the ground and even cried: "And then killed everyone! Three hundred children, their bodies were all thrown down from the gate and piled up outside the palace gate..."
There was silence on the Golden Throne Hall.
No one could imagine what an unbearable tragic situation it was.
Xiao Yuan's complexion also darkened.
Xie Wei stood quietly in front of him, his eyelids drooping and his eyelashes lowered, blocking the changes in his eyes.
Shen Lang sighed, "This is my fault, the fault of the imperial court!"
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were trembling with fear, but no one dared to answer.
Only Xiao Dingfei's voice kept coming.
He didn't get up either, and still knelt down and said, "The sinner also wanted to snatch it out and stop it when he saw it, but I have no power to resist. King Pingnan saw me being dishonest, so he ordered him to kill me. I was imprisoned. Soon after, reinforcements from the two major camps in Fengtai, Tongzhou came, and they counterattacked the capital and rescued me. King Pingnan wanted to use me as a threat and tied me to the front of the two armies. No mistake. King Pingnan only knew that he was in the middle of the game. In his rage, he raised his sword and wanted to kill me. The son of Wan Xiu, who taught me that day, slapped me twice, and asked me sharply, who the hell was. Hou Zhijia, knowing that the thief was going to die, said my name is Xiao Dingfei. Only then did King Pingnan and Wan Xiuzi know the identities of the criminals. The criminals thought they would definitely die, but they never thought that the two would be immortal, so they jumped over the wall in a hurry. He actually tied his ministers to the upper gate of the city, and it was the Duke of the State who came with the army at that time."
As soon as the word "Grandpa" came out, everyone's heart skipped a beat!
How can there be a reason in the world that a son is not called Laozi, but is so unfamiliarly called "Kuo Gongye"
Even Shen Lang, who was always calm, couldn't help but squinted slightly.
Xiao Yuan didn't pay attention, and I don't know if it was because of Xiao Dingfei's words that he thought of the scene of that year, and his face was faintly blue, which was extremely embarrassing.
Xie Wei remained motionless.
Gu Chunfang, who was in the same row as the civil servants, frowned and continued: "Then King Pingnan and Wan Xiuzi know the identity of the prince, they must have become thieves again and will use the prince to blackmail the prince."
Xiao Dingfei glanced at him.
Seeing that he was a bad old man, he didn't really care, but the position of the watch station was a little bit ahead of Xie Wei, so he knew that he was probably an old fox, so he respectfully said, "Your lord, you guessed right, the two thieves were fighting the exact same thing. This idea. Although the guilty minister was young at the time, he knew the importance of it, and he never dared to let the army who came to help fall into a dilemma. When King Pingnan called out, he whipped and scolded the guilty minister, and the minister gritted his teeth and did not dare to cry. The first half."
That is a child under seven years old!
Brocade clothing and jade food, the pride of heaven.
The two armies were beaten and humiliated in front of the battle, but they could grit their teeth and say nothing. What kind of determination and perseverance should it be
Hundreds of officials in the court and the field are also knowledgeable. Hearing Xiao Dingfei's words, imagine the scene at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
Shen Lang's eyes turned to Xiao Yuan.
Twenty years have passed since then.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think back, and said abruptly: "When the accident happened, the minister was not in the palace. When he was leading the army to help the capital, he did confront the two armies of King Pingnan against the party and the two armies under the city wall. The child claims to be the son of the minister, but he can't see it clearly from a distance. First, the child did not make a sound, did not cry or make trouble, and secondly, he did his best for the minister and died, then he was really the child of the minister. I didn't care. So he hesitated for a moment, ignored it, and went straight into the city. I wanted to capture the two thieves alive, but I didn't want them to slip too fast with oil on their feet, and finally let them run away..."
In this way, the events of the year, the details before and after, are actually correct.
It's just that Shen Lang is still a little unsure...
The glance of the child who was studying with him back then when he was leaving, like the ruins exposed when the water surface fell, slowly emerged in his already very vague memory, overlapping with the eyes of Xiao Dingfei below at the moment, It became clear again.
Did he misunderstand
Xiao Dingfei was indeed a loyal minister. When he went for him back then, there was no resentment at all, but the queen mother kept Mrs. Yan as a hostage in the palace to prevent him. Was it really unfounded
Shen Lang put his hand on the armrest of the two dragons playing beads made of pure gold, and said slowly: "But when the city broke down later, I didn't find you. In the pile of frozen corpses, only your clothes and jade pendant were found at that time. Did they not kill you?"
Xiao Dingfei said: "This is the crime of the minister!"
He kowtowed to the ground again: "When the minister clenched his teeth and couldn't make a sound, the king of Pingnan was already very angry and wanted to take the life of the minister. However, Wan Xiuzi, the leader of the thief of Tianjiao, said that keeping the life of the minister is of great use. At that time, he wanted to save his life, but Wan Xiuzi saw the opportunity too quickly, and after stopping the minister, he was tied up and taken out of the capital all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, where he was imprisoned. After a while, he pretended to be obedient. After gaining the trust of the other party for many years, he overheard that the old thief Wan Xiuzi had left his subject and wanted to subdue his subject in order to find an opportunity to bring his subject back one day in the future. In the capital, if you restore your identity, you can justifiably control the troops of the two major camps in Fengtai and Tongzhou, and act as their puppets. Moreover, the death of the minister will definitely bring a rift between the two clans of Xiao and Yan. Mrs. Yan is the biological mother of the minister. Mu is the uncle of the minister, if he is lured by the news that the minister is still alive, he may not be able to win over the mansion."
The civil and military people of the whole dynasty were all stunned, and when they heard this, they all thought of the previous case of Yongyi Hou's secretly colluding with thieves!
At that time, it was rumored that there were letters that he had contacted with the King of Pingnan, Tianjiao, etc. against the Party.
One of the letters said that the prince Dingfei was still alive.
Everyone thought that this was the bait that Tianjiao deliberately used to lure Yongyi Hou's mansion, but it turned out to be true! Thinking back on the Hou Mansion case, all of a sudden the unreasonableness of the front and back became clear.
Suddenly someone let out a long sigh: "Alas, the scoundrels and thieves are really abhorrent, and the depth of their calculations and the greatness of their plans are really outrageous! It's just that the Marquis of Yongyi was too confused in the past, and no matter what, they shouldn't have contact with these people. Ah! Even when the son of Dingfei died in those years, he died loyally. How could the Hou residence dare to complain against the sage after such actions?!"
Xie Wei's fingers dangling by his side clenched quietly.
An evil spirit was rushing in his chest, but he was locked up, unable to find a way to vent, and instead hit his skin with bloody scars!
Xiao Dingfei knelt on the ground, and as far as he could see, he could only see Xie Wei's drooping sleeve robes and the corners of his clothes. But even if I couldn't see his expression, when I heard a minister say this, I couldn't help but tremble, I glanced at this man, and I drew a cross directly on this man's head, thinking that he was a dead man.
Shen Lang asked again: "Then you are actually in Tongzhou this time..."
Xiao Dingfei said: "After hearing that Gongyicheng was arrested by the imperial court, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the punishment and told many secrets of the Tianjiao, so he sent a heavy army to rob the prison. And if Gongyicheng was rescued, he would be able to To make him plan to send his ministers back to the capital, he sent the ministers to go along with him. It was a coincidence that was saved by this Mr. Xie, and he was able to escape from the heavenly sect and live to meet the Sage. The reason is clear."
Everyone listened and didn't think there was any problem.
Shen Lang also sighed: "So it is."
Only Zhang Zhe, who was standing with his head down, rolled his eyes and asked abruptly, "If it's true as Dingfei Shizi said, the Shizi should be very happy when he learned that there were people from the imperial court among the people who returned from prison in Tongzhou. That's right. Why, at a time of crisis, turned against the Heavenly Religion and the chaotic party to reveal that Zhang was the one who was subdued by the imperial court?"
