As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and all the people present turned their eyes to the weak third prince.
"Bastard thing!"
Emperor Mingde was tired of this male and female prince. If it wasn't for the persuasive words of Master Kong Kong from Kaiyuan Temple, he would not have been able to keep him in the world.
Immediately, the blood was on the top of his head, and he was furious: "Come here, pull this evil obstacle down, and you will be responsible for one hundred!"
This punishment of responsibility, even a strong man can't bear a hundred sticks, let alone the third prince who can't fill up this little robe.
Sima Yu frowned deeply.
At this time, He Yunyi was administering needles to the fainting British beauty in the curtain. Hearing this, he was very anxious, but he heard the voice of the empress:
"Your Majesty, calm down, this matter is found out and will be severely punished, but there is one thing that the concubine can't figure out. The palace people in Zhongcui Palace have their own concubine to teach them. How can they listen to the orders of the third prince?"
"The concubine is wronged!" Wang Chaoluan immediately shouted: "These days, the concubine sees the third prince living alone in the west hall, pity him for his misery, and takes care of him for a while. With this relationship, the third prince enters and exits the bell It is also convenient for the palace, presumably the palace people also see here to let him do things conveniently, I don't want to fall into the trap!"
She looked grim, pointed at Empress Sima and cried: "Empress, these three highnesses are recorded under your name! Where did this concubine offend you! Teach you to be so scheming!"
"you-"
Empress Sima's complexion changed, how could she know that the other party was so cunning, and instantly directed the fire to herself.
Emperor Mingde was so noisy that his brain ached. He rubbed his brows. Now he calmed down, took a few steps slowly, and said to the next one:
"La that evil barrier stepped forward to ask questions!"
Li Yuanmin let out a long breath, and walked out from behind the guard. Sima Yu had a thought, and was about to tell him a few words quietly, but the other party seemed not to notice his hint, and walked towards the imperial court with his mouth slightly pursed.
He lifted his hem and knelt in front of the emperor.
Mingde Emperor took a few glances at his frail appearance, felt annoyed, and sullenly said, "Tell me what you have done these days. If you hide half a sentence, I will not hide it." I can't spare you!"
For this biological father, apart from being afraid in his previous life, Li Yuanmin actually had some expectations hidden deep in his heart. He thought, how could he be born into this world without parents, but he has clearly been In such a situation of no father and no mother, he has no idea what it means to be affectionate and what is the love of parents.
After so many years, the so-called "Father Emperor" above still treats him like a dog. There is nothing else but a sense of melancholy. He is too erratic in this world. There is no root of apple, no root of water, the world is so big, I don't know where to go.
Emperor Mingde saw his face in a daze, and shouted angrily: "Say it soon!"
Li Yuanmin shuddered all over, and looked at Emperor Mingde indifferently.
The only light in his eyes went out, and he knelt down, as if frightened, and muttered: "It's the second brother... Yuan Min just passed on the words of the second brother to the servant, and asked him to bring the beast here at Chenshi... "
"You nonsense!"
Li Yuanlang rushed out with a limp. When he jumped off the platform in a panic, he accidentally sprained his ankle. No matter how painful his foot was, how could it compare to the panic and rage here? He pointed at Li Yuanmin and cursed:
"Well, you Li Yuanmin, you actually spitting blood!"
Li Yuanmin raised his head suddenly, looking at him in astonishment.
His lips trembled, his eyes panicked, and finally he spoke with difficulty,
"Father, this matter is all done by Yuan Min alone, and it has nothing to do with the second brother."
Everyone present knew his situation in the harem. If he insisted on it, others would have some doubts. However, he was so generous, how could others believe that Li Yuen Long was innocent.
A sense of fear came over him, and Li Yuanlang looked up in a panic. Sure enough, Wang Chaoluan was staring at him coldly with a pair of almond eyes, with a little bit of cold star in his eyes.
A personal guard stepped forward and presented a copper lock with both hands,
"Your Majesty, this is the lock found on the iron cage where the tiger was imprisoned. I have inspected it. Although the lock looks intact, the lock cylinder has been tampered with, and it will fall off with just a light touch. , that's why this beast escaped so easily."
Emperor Mingde's face darkened, "Okay, okay, it's on my head!"
The personal guard hesitated: "The humble job sent people to the animal room of Zhongcui Palace..."
Mingde Emperor glanced at Wang Guifei, who had disheveled hair. Her face was full of panic. She knew that the key was not small, and she was very angry:
"Say! How many beasts are raised there!"
"Three ligers, two bears, five leopards..."
The harem kept so many ferocious beasts. Hearing the dictation of the personal guards, not only the officials and concubines, but also Emperor Mingde couldn't help being terrified, and a burst of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Besides this..." The personal guard peeped at Emperor Mingde's face, and said again: "There is still one person locked inside."
Emperor Mingde almost doubted his ears: "Human?"
The concubine's palace actually hid the lowly slaves in the secluded courtyard. The officials looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak first. Emperor Mingde's eyes darkened. He stumbled back a few steps and glared at the concubine Wang Guifei. After a long while, he gnashed his teeth and said :
"Bring people up."
How did Wang Chaoluan know that there was a lowly slave hiding in her veterinary room? She turned her head and looked at Li Yuanxu under the cloud platform in surprise. My son indulges me too much.
Soon, the imperial guards transported the cage in which Yan Lie was imprisoned to the front of the imperial court, and Yeyouting Zhongling also came with him.
Yi Lie's eyes were dark, he held onto the fence tightly, and observed his surroundings vigilantly. Just now, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the animal house and dragged him here with the cage. Although he didn't know what happened, But knowing it is not a good thing.
He is familiar with this cloud platform. He has fought countless wild beasts here. He thought that there would be another bloody battle, but today's situation is obviously not the case.
His eyes could not help but fall on the back of a kneeling on the ground in front of him, frowning, he felt very familiar.
Mingde Emperor looked at Yan Lie for a while, and knew that those imprisoned in Yeyou Court must be the relatives of the imperial court's convicts, but Yan Lie's hair was disheveled and his face was dirty, so he couldn't tell.
"Who is in the cage?"
As early as when the fourth prince begged him for this lowly slave, the order knew that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't know that the consequences would be so serious. He sweated like a waterfall, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the son of the traitor Ni Yan , Yan Lie."
There was a commotion on the spot.
The rebel general Ni Yan, who was born in the Han clan, once became the commander of the Jiangbei camp with his illustrious military exploits. In the tenth year of the early martial arts, the Jiangbei army fought hard for three years, and finally regained Mobei and expanded the territory of Bei'an to the Western Regions. He has made great achievements, but five years ago, this person colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, causing Bei'an to lose Nantai sixteen prefectures in just a few days. All males who have reached the age of sixteen will be killed, and those who are under the age of sixteen will be sent to Yeyou Court as official slaves, and the female relatives will be sent to Jiaofang Secretary.
Ye Youting Zhongling knew that the matter was out of control, so he could only reveal the matter in every detail—how did the fourth prince beg for Yan Lie, and how did he pretend to be a fierce beast to fight against the fierce beast? .
Many military generals present have worked with Ni Yan, and most of them still have doubts about the death case back then. Seeing Ni Yan's only son being tortured inhumanely at such a young age, they couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation.
A veteran stepped forward with anger, dragged Yan Lie through the fence, tore off his clothes that were so black that he couldn't see the color clearly, and exposed his messy body in front of everyone.
There are old or new bite wounds, some are still inflamed, and some are covered with thick blood scabs. There is not a single inch of good skin all over the body.
Yi Lie's eyes were blood red, and he was about to make a move to grab the old man's throat, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the kneeling man in front of him cast his eyes on him, and shook his head almost invisibly.
Yi Lie let go of his hand, and was stunned on the spot.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, the man had already shifted his gaze, as if he didn't recognize him at all.
Yi Lie's chest heaved violently, and suddenly remembered the last meeting, the man said to him: No matter what, you must pretend that you don't know him, Qianqi.
she? It's him
Why is that man wearing the prince's clothes, and why is he kneeling on the ground? Yan Lie gripped the iron rod tightly.
The one who just tore apart Yan Lie's clothes was Li Mao, a veteran of the Northern Xinjiang Army. He had always admired Ni Yan, and because of Ni Yan, he was relegated from the second-rank general to the fourth-rank general today. , how could he bear his temper, with tears in his eyes, and immediately knelt down with his palms together: "Your Majesty, although Ni Yan committed an unforgivable sin back then, he has been executed, his family has been destroyed, and he has been severely punished by the majesty of heaven. With great achievements, how could this child be treated so harshly for the sake of the Mobei territory?"
Emperor Mingde's face was blue and red. How could he know that there was another incident behind one incident? It was like pulling out a carrot and bringing out mud. Today, I am afraid that it will not be easy to end well. For a while, I regretted not listening to Wang Guifei Suggestions, private approval, but now they are facing such a situation of being put on the table.
Things are getting more and more difficult. Ni Yan deserves his crime for collaborating with the enemy, but his merits in Mobei cannot be buried. Bei'an has always governed the country with benevolence, and a meritorious crime will be dealt with most delicately. A thorn in the general's heart, and now Ni Yan's son is being treated so harshly by the royal children. If he is not appeased, if someone with a heart makes a fuss about this matter, it will obviously chill the hearts of the people in the world.
Then said coldly: "Bring the fourth prince up!"
Relying on Emperor Mingde's favor, Li Yuanxu also knew that today's matter could not be easily exposed. He stumbled and knelt at Emperor Mingde's feet, crying: "It's just a child's playfulness, it's all a child's playfulness , father, the child will never be seen again!"
Emperor Mingde hated iron for being weak, and kicked him away: "Stupid thing! Today's disasters are all caused by you. If you don't let you have a long memory, I am afraid that this day will be pierced in the future! Come on! People! Pull this evil obstacle down to fight twenty!"
