The word "slow" made Cheng Wang's heart sink.
Although he was not afraid of Emperor Hong Xiao in his heart, he could not refute Emperor Hong Xiao's views in the presence of hundreds of civil and military officials. Obviously, the current Emperor Hong Xiao has clearly favored Jiang Li. Although he knew that Emperor Hong Xiao wanted to involve Princess Yongning in the Xue family case, at the moment, Jiang Li's statement is indeed convincing.
Reasonable and reasonable, to get Xue Huaiyuan out of sin, "reason" is not enough, "emotion" comes together, but Jiang Li used such an irresistible method to wash Xue Huaiyuan's grievances step by step.
The ministers who had come to understand, looked at Jiang Li, their eyes were full of strangeness. This kind of court discussion is really amazing.
Jiang Yuanbai also stared at his daughter as if he didn't know him. He knew that Jiang Li was smart, and Jiang Li might be the smartest one among the juniors of the Jiang family. But this kind of imperial tactics was too much. Jiang Yuanbo even wondered in his heart whether there would be any expert advice behind Jiang Li's practice today. Otherwise, it should be impossible for a boudoir daughter to have such political means.
Others would not think that this was Jiang Li's method, they would just put the matter on Jiang Yuanbai's head. It is believed that Jiang Yuanbai asked Jiang Li to say this in the palace, and he has a better understanding of Jiang Yuanbai's plot, thinking that Jiang Yuanbai is a real old treacherous and cunning.
"You go on." Emperor Hong Xiao said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li leaned over, with a clear voice, and said, "The minister has finished saying what the minister wants to say. Xue Huaiyuan, the minister of Tongxiang County, is guilty. He has been in office for decades. Except for embezzlement and disaster relief, he is indifferent and unwilling. The heart is like water, and the breeze is fierce. There is no such a corrupt official in the world, and he must be planning a deeper thing. After many years of being an official, he changed Tongxiang, and there is a conspiracy. There are few assets in the family, and the whereabouts are unknown. The minister thinks Xue Huaiyuan’s crime, The sin is unforgivable, and I implore your Majesty to cure Xue Huaiyuan's sins of thousands of cuts!"
The right-hand Li Zhongnan closed his eyes, knowing what Jiang Li said, Xue Huaiyuan's guilt was thoroughly washed away.
On the contrary, on the other hand, Jiang Li's remarks on the other side are wonderful and indisputable.
There was a long silence in the hall.
After a long time, Emperor Hong Xiao’s voice sounded, saying, “In this way, Xue Huaiyuan is not guilty, but meritorious. Five times the guilt of meritorious ministers has deepened, and there may be grievances among them. In the case of Feng Yutang, Feng Yutang is guilty, Xue Huaiyuan is greedy and suspicious, Zhou Dezhao, I want you to thoroughly investigate this case again!"
The last word fell, Jiang Li's heart seemed to have been watered by hot water, and gradually boiled.
However, she just leaned down and said again: "The courtier again begs to bring Tongxiang County Cheng Xue Huaiyuan to the palace. Xue Huaiyuan is also a witness. Your Majesty might as well take a look at what Xue Xian Cheng looks like now."
"Take Xue Huaiyuan." Emperor Hong Xiao said.
Zhou Dezhao's busy lover brought Xue Huaiyuan up and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Li again. In today's matter, it was clear that Cheng Wang and Right Xiang had the upper hand at the beginning, but now, Jiang Li has been led by the nose the whole process. Regardless of whether this method was invented by Jiang Li or Jiang Yuanbai, the Jiang family should not be underestimated. I thought that in the imperial court, the Jiang family's power was gradually weakening, especially during the period when the right side was getting stronger and stronger. At the moment, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and not to mention the power, Jiang Yuanbai did not lose the right thing just because of this scheming.
If this continues, I don’t know who will lose in the end. Forget it, those who watch the excitement, about to re-plan the team for the future.
Xue Huaiyuan was brought up soon.
He was changed into clean clothes and washed his face, holding a rattle tightly in his hand. The imperial guards guarded Emperor Hong Xiao, lest Xue Huaiyuan hurt someone suddenly. But Xue Huaiyuan suddenly saw so many people, panicked, shrank into a ball, and ran helplessly to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li patted Xue Huaiyuan's shoulder comfortably. Xue Huaiyuan's beard and hair were all white, and he was about the same age as Jiang Yuanbo, but he already looked like an old man, so Jiang Li's behavior didn't seem outrageous. But her patience was very dazzling in Jiang Yuanbai's eyes.
I always felt that Jiang Li had never had such a soft gaze when facing her biological father.
Xue Huaiyuan obviously also relied on Jiang Li very much. After Jiang Li was around, he would not be noisy and settled, playing with the rattle in his hand.
Jiang Li said to Emperor Hong Xiao: "Your Majesty, this is the Cheng Xue Huaiyuan of Tongxiang County. Because of being tortured in a dungeon by Feng Yutang, he is now unconscious and looks like a child. The poor generation of Ching Ming loyal ministers has become like this now. In the end, if this matter spreads out, how many upright officials and loyal ministers in the world will be chilled, and how many people will still be loyal to your Majesty?"
"Bold!" Li Zhongnan was furious: "Jiang Li, you dare to question Your Majesty!"
"Master Li," Jiang Yuanbai said unhappily, "Your Majesty didn't say anything. What kind of talk are you talking about."
Jiang Li's remarks can be regarded as disrespectful. Cheng Wang sneered: "It seems that Mrs. Jiang has a set of rules for teaching his daughter. Miss Jiang Er's words are a bit out of the ordinary for his daughter's family."
Jiang Yuanbo dared to blatantly choke with Li Zhongnan, but he didn't want the face of becoming a king at this time. When he was hesitating to say what would be good, Su Guo, who had been silent for a long time, spoke openly.
Ji Heng shook the fan and chuckled lightly: "Unfortunately, Miss Jiang Er's statement coincides with me."
With just a word, the courtiers were taken aback. Now that Ji Heng has spoken, he still helps Jiang Li to speak
Although this Su Guo Gong always loves beauty, he is not a person who loves and cherishes jade. It is even more impossible to save the girl from fire and water. At this moment, Su Guo Gong actually confronted Cheng Wang, and said such a profound sentence.
Ji Heng suddenly didn't realize that his words had been contrived thousands of times in the hearts of everyone present, and said casually: "The good medicine is bitter, the loyalty is against your ears. Although Miss Jiang Er's words are out of line, they still have some truth to them. Otherwise, this is the dynasty. The loyal ministers are abandoned and the traitorous ministers are appointed, for fear that the country will not be the country."
The young man has a handsome face and a wicked appearance, and said this kind of intimidating words with a smile, and it has an immediate effect. At least Emperor Hong Xiao listened. Emperor Hong Xiao said: "Duke Su is right. I am not someone who can't listen to the truth, Jiang Aiqing," he said to Jiang Yuanbo: "Your daughter, you are well raised."
Jiang Yuanbai quickly thanked him for his gratitude, but wondered in his heart that the Jiang family and Su Guo Gong didn't have any contact, and Jiang Li and Ji Heng didn't have much friendship. Why did this moody Suguo Guild suddenly help Jiang Li to speak
Could it be... He looked at Jiang Li's clean face. Jiang Li was no longer the arrogant and self-willed girl who was sent to Qingcheng Mountain. She gradually grew up, with a girlish appearance. Beautiful and beautiful, like a snow-white pear blossom born in spring, it is clean, fresh and attractive.
No, no, Jiang Yuanbai immediately dispelled the absurd idea in his heart. Su Guogong himself gave birth to the stunning beauty, what kind of beauty I have never seen, Jiang Li is at best a little beauty, I am afraid that it will not be in Ji Heng's eyes. Besides, Ji Heng is sinister and cruel, not a good match. Although he is not very close to Jiang Li, it is his own bones and blood. I don't want Jiang Li to have a miserable ending and be calculated by others, and in the end, he will even hurt Jiang's family.
Thinking wildly in my mind, among the courtiers, someone suddenly said: "Xue Lingyun, isn't this Xue Lingyun?"
Xue Lingyun? Everyone is strange.
Emperor Hong Xiao asked: "What Xue Lingyun?"
The courtier arched his hands and said, "When the first emperor was still there, Xue Lingyun used to build canal water conservancy for Yanjing. The first emperor saw that he was quite talented and was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. But Xue Lingyun only worked for one year. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu resigned and left. When I saw Xue Huaiyuan today, the next official discovered that Xue Huaiyuan was exactly the same as Xue Lingyun, but he was too old. The next official dared to guess that Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Lingyun."
Xue Lingyun? This name is very unfamiliar to everyone in the temple. But no one knows about the water conservancy of the Jingzhong Canal. People who can lead such projects are naturally talented people. Why do you want to leave the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and not do it, and do it as a small county prince
Jiang Li was stunned. It's no wonder that the subordinates who followed his father for many years said that his father has the talent for saving the world, but he lives in the small world of Tongxiang. She felt strange from time to time that her father had such great abilities. Regarding the situation in North Korea, she could clearly understand why she only became a county prime minister.
It turned out that it was not an opportunity. It was because my father had already been a high official, but he believed that his temperament was not suitable for such an officialdom. The courtiers of the Northern Yan Dynasty leaned against each other, or squatted together. For my father, it would be better to be a small county prince to benefit the people.
So he even changed his name, from "Xue Lingyun" with ambition to Lingyun to "Xue Huaiyuan" with Wangyue Huaiyuan.
When Jiang Li and Xue Zhao were born, Xue Huaiyuan no longer worked in the Ministry of Work and changed his name. Therefore, Jiang Li didn't know the past, and only then did he know the truth when Xue Huaiyuan's old veteran said it.
This old official should have had a good friendship with Xue Huaiyuan back then. When he saw his old friend, he explained the reasons why Xue Huaiyuan resigned in the first place. Aspirations can't be stretched out, it is aggrieved in the end. When everyone heard it, they only felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and they were very sorry.
Emperor Hong Xiao said: "Such a talented person was falsely accused and imprisoned as a criminal official. Now he is still so miserable. This is my fault and Beiyan's loss."
The courtiers all knelt down.
Jiang Li's heart moved, Xue Huaiyuan's past events were discovered, and for the present, it happened to do her a favor. She didn't even think about it, she said: "Your Majesty, Xue Huaiyuan ended up like this. It was all caused by Feng Yutang, who reported his personal vengeance. The minister asked Feng Yutang to be punished heavily!"
"Naturally severe punishment!" Emperor Hong Xiao snorted coldly, "I don't know, there is such a madman at the feet of the emperor, who framed Zhongliang!"
"Master Feng is so courageous," Jiang Li said, "not only framed Zhongliang, but also digs privately in Dongshan, Tongxiang. The imperial court banned the mining privately many years ago, which is treasonous and punishable!"
Feng Yutang was already in cold sweat, almost fainting.
"But Master Feng is very strange. He has already made a lot of money in Tongxiang, but he still wants more gold. It is clearly demanding and bold. The courtier found a letter from Feng's mansion, and the letter pointed out that Feng Yutang was asked to torture Xue. Huaiyuan. But the owner of the letter is very strange..." Jiang Li smiled slightly: "The seal on the letter is the seal of Princess Yongning of this dynasty!"
After singing the show for so long, she finally reached a climax!
"Bold!" Cheng Wang's face was pale, "Slandering a princess of a country, what kind of charge do you know? This can cut your head!"
"His Royal Highness Cheng does not need to worry," Jiang Li did not fear, and returned coldly: "The courtier only stated the facts and did not convict the princess. This letter can naturally be fake. In fact, the courtier also thinks it is. trap."
Emperor Hong Xiao stared at Jiang Li, and the book presented by Ye Shijie was about Princess Yongning. At this moment, Jiang Li proposed it, and he expected it. It's just that since Jiang Li proposed it, why did she deny herself again.
"Princess Yongning and the Xue family are not related, nor do they have any contact. How would they instruct Feng Yutang to frame the Xue family and put Xue Huaiyuan in jail. Zhao was killed by bandits in Beijing last year. His daughter Xue Fangfei, who was the late wife of Lord Shelang Shen, died of illness in the Shen family six months ago. Neither Xue Zhao nor Xue Fangfei nor the Shen family had any. Relevance. From this point of view, the minister should not be true!"
The courtiers didn't know Xue Zhao's name, but when the three words "Xue Fangfei" came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yurong.
Back then, Xue Fangfei gave Shen Yurong a green hat, and the people in Yanjing City either watched Shen Yurong's jokes, sympathized with, or scolded adulterers and women. In short, no one knew that no one knew. Half a year later, a generation of stunning Xue Fangfei fragrantly died, which was regarded as a post-dinner conversation, and it was also an inconspicuous one.
It was easy to gradually forget the name, and suddenly it was mentioned at this time. It's still in the case of Xue Huaiyuan, which is of concern to everyone.
Shen Yurong's face is still calm and gentle, he has a good demeanor, but looks at Jiang Li's eyes with some unclear deep meaning.
Ji Heng looked at Jiang Li, and the smile on the corners of his lips gradually deepened. Among the civil and military officials, he was the only one who watched this court meeting with a relaxed attitude. Some people are like a great enemy, some are gloating, only him, with insight into everything, carelessly, not serious to help push, and follow her heart.
But Cheng Wang looked at Shen Yurong, with a flash of irritation in his heart.
Jiang Li looked sincere, as if he really believed in Princess Yongning's innocence, and couldn't wait to explain it to Princess Yongning. In her heart, she laughed silently.
This move was to retreat for advancement, on the surface it took the initiative to clear up the grievances for Yongning, but it exposed Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei to everyone. In the case of Xue Huaiyuan, only Xue Huaiyuan was the only one, and nothing could be found out. The most important thing is still Xue Fangfei.
Princess Yongning is committed to Shen Yurong, and one day she will enter the Shen family and become Mrs. Shen. However, as soon as the rumor that Princess Yongning instructed Feng Yutang to frame Xue Huaiyuan came out, it was difficult for Lord Yongning to marry Shen Yurong. Because once she did this, she found the perfect reason to frame Xue Huaiyuan. People would say, look, she wanted to marry Shen Yurong, so she murdered Xue Huaiyuan, and even the deaths of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao would be suspected.
The three became tigers, and they all talked about gold. If the Lord Yongning wanted to clean up this charge, he had to make a clear relationship with the Shen family, and never have any dealings with Shen Yurong.
But the question is, can Princess Yongning do it
Jiang Li believes that Princess Yongning must not be able to do it, otherwise she would not rather kill herself and get Shen Yurong. Yongning is so cruel and domineering, he must do what he believes. She didn't care, even if she was charged with this suspicion, she would have to marry Shen Yurong.
But can Shen Yurong turn a blind eye to these
After all, she was the person on the side of the pillow who shared the same bed. Although she hadn't been able to see this person's wolf ambition clearly in her previous life, the husband and wife for many years probably understood the temperament. Shen Yurong is cautious and considerate in doing things, and will definitely not let Yongning do this at this juncture.
But Yongning has reached the time to discuss marriage and marry, he must completely avoid the limelight, wait three to five years, I am afraid it will not be too expensive. Therefore, between Yongning and Shen Yurong, there will definitely be suspicions and twists and turns between this matter.
That is her chance.
Jiang Li's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, Cheng Wang's anger and frustration, Li Zhongnan's irritation, Jiang Yuanbo's shock, Ji Yanlin's doubts, Ye Shijie's surprise, Shen Yurong's pretending to be calm, Hong Xiaodi's profound meaning, and Ji Heng smiled.
His smile, with a little ease of watching the fire from the other side, and some tacit understanding of each other's secrets, his eyes were moving, as if he had discovered something interesting, and seemed to bring some appreciation.
He knows, he knows everything.
Jiang Li lowered her head. In today's battle, she did her best, simply, she did everything she wanted to do.
To vindicate Xue Huaiyuan and let Feng Yutang pay his blood debts. The most important thing is that she planted a seed between Yongning and Shen Yurong. This kind of seed will eventually germinate and form an irreconcilable one on their land. Crack, Jiang Li will use this crack to open a hole and start the road of revenge.
This is just the beginning, she thought.
…
The court discussion on the Xue family case ended in this way.
This court meeting started with Zhou Dezhao's interrogation, and Cheng Wang ridiculed it first, but he didn't know it or not and was dominated by Jiang Li. Until the end, everything was under Jiang Li's control.
But this result seems to have nothing to argue with.
The people of Yanjing were also concerned about the results of this court meeting. Jiang Li led the Tongxiang people to sound the drums of injustice in front of Chang'an Gate, which has been known to the entire Yanjing city. Inadvertently, I also learned the ins and outs of this case. Everyone is worried about the Xue family's case.
Therefore, after the result of the court meeting came out, almost the entire city of Yanjing was spread in just an hour.
That Xue Huaiyuan was really wronged, he was clearly a good official, but he was killed in such a field. Everyone also knows that Xue Huaiyuan used to be called Xue Lingyun, and he was in charge of the repair of the canal in Yanjing City.
The canal incident has benefited many people. The people of Yanjing heard that they were almost the same as the people of Tongxiang. Xue Huaiyuan's experience was greatly unfair. Feng Yutang was sentenced to hanging, and the people spontaneously went to witness the death of the wicked.
At the same time, there was also a rumor that Xue Huaiyuan was imprisoned and Feng Yutang was instructed by Princess Yongning to do it. There is no basis for this rumor, and Princess Yongning and the Xue family have no contact, so when they said it, no real basis could be found. But there are more people talking about it, and gradually everyone in Yanjing City knows it.
I heard that the person who became the king sent someone to find out where the rumor came from, but the person who was rumored disappeared in a short period of time. Yenching was not Tongxiang. King Cheng couldn’t do what Feng Yutang did to let the people of Yenching City "see the way." He only punished a few people who openly talked about Yongning. As for those who talked about it privately, he couldn't deal with them one by one.
There is no doubt that the person who released the rumors is naturally Jiang Li.
Jiang Li went to see Feng Yutang's execution today.
She is actually reluctant to watch these bloody scenes, but she always thinks about how Feng Yutang, as Yongning's running dog, tortured Xue Huaiyuan in prison, so that Xue Huaiyuan became what she is now, she can't let it go. Therefore, even if it is bloody, he still wants to see Feng Yutang's execution today.
After Feng Yutang, it was Yongning and Shen Yurong.
Caishikou is surrounded by crowds watching the excitement. The people of Tongxiang have not yet returned, and everyone has arrived. They threw stones and vegetable leaves on Feng Yutang's face to express their inner resentment. Jiang Li stood in the crowd at a distance, wearing a hat to prevent people from seeing her.
Jiang Yuanbai now has twice as many guards as her. Jiang Li's actions at the court meeting severely offended Cheng Wang. King Cheng will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate. Just in case, Jiang Yuanbai will not let Jiang Li go out these days. Jiang Li secretly came out today.
After Jiang Yuanbo was in court that day, he asked her why Princess Yongning was the last involved in this case. What he said to Jiang Yuanbo early in the morning was not Princess Yongning but Li Zhongnan, the right minister. Until the court meeting began, Jiang Yuanbai was shocked when he heard the name of Princess Yongning. If he had known that the case was related to Princess Yongning, Jiang Yuanbai would never let Jiang Li act like this.
Jiang Li only said: "Father, this case is indeed related to Li Zhongnan, the right minister, but the letter from Princess Yongning is more accurate than Li Zhongnan. You have seen the matter at the court meeting, Li Zhongnan helped become the king, yes Those who become kings say that Princess Yongning is still Li Zhongnan, and in the end, the truth is the same."
"But in the end Princess Yongning did not confirm the charges!" Jiang Yuanbo said.
"Really?" Jiang Li only replied at the time, "But father, from the perspective of the day, this crime will one day be implemented. Now we only need to know the result in advance. As for the future, just wait and see. "
Jiang Yuanbai still didn't believe it, but now that this matter has come, there is no room for change. Moreover, Jiang Yuanbai could also see clearly that Emperor Hong Xiao’s attitude towards the court meeting that day was clearly biased towards Jiang Li. Perhaps it is the hope of using the Xue family case to suppress Cheng Wang. Regardless of the attitude of Emperor Hong Xiao, Jiang Yuanbai could not pretend to be ignorant. Therefore, we can only give up on this matter.
But in my heart, after all, I didn't like Jiang Li's self-assertion.
Jiang Li ignored it. Even though Tong'er and Bai Xue were daring, they still covered Yanjing when they saw the execution. But Jiang Li stared at Feng Yutang unblinkingly until he died.
Feng Yutang’s party members have been exhausted, and Emperor Hong Xiao also reappointed Xinxian Cheng in Tongxiang, Xiangyang. Although this Xinxian Cheng Jiangli is not very familiar, at least with Feng Yutang’s lessons learned, he dare not do anything out of the ordinary. .
Xue Huaiyuan Jiang Li stayed in Yanjing City, and Jiang Li was also worried about leaving Xue Huaiyuan to return to Beijing alone. Moreover, Emperor Hong Xiao Jinkou Yuyan, recruited genius doctors from all over the world to treat Xue Huaiyuan. Jiang Li also planned to let Xue Huaiyuan stay in Yanjing and visit famous doctors to see if he could restore Xue Huaiyuan to his sanity one day.
But Jiang Yuanbai would not agree to stay at Jiang's house. Moreover, Jiang Li was also afraid that Ji Shuran would use Xue Huaiyuan to deal with him. After much deliberation, I had to entrust Xue Huaiyuan to Ye Mingyu.
Ye Mingyu didn't plan to return to Xiangyang for the time being. Ye Shijie is now an official in Yanjing City. Ye Mingyu suddenly had an idea to start Ye's business in Yanjing City again. With the two-tier relationship between Ye Shijie and Jiang Li now, the business of coming to Ye's family will be better than before. If Ye Mingyu wanted to stay and live with Ye Shijie, naturally Xue Huaiyuan entrusted it to Ye Mingyu. Firstly, Ye Mingyu's martial arts is good, and he is surrounded by people from all walks of life, who can keep Xue Huaiyuan safe. Secondly, Xue Huaiyuan stays with Ye Mingyu a lot these days. Apart from Jiang Li, the closest person is Ye Mingyu.
Ye Shijie didn't have any problems. Ye Mingyu complained repeatedly. A good person from the world, but now it is not easy to become Xue Huaiyuan's guard and maid. But Jiang Li solemnly asked him, Ye Mingyu was softhearted and had to agree.
After the execution, Jiang Li and Tonger Baixue walked to the other side of the carriage. Thinking about it in her heart, the matter of Tongxiang came to an end for the time being, and then she completely offended Cheng Wang and Princess Yongning. Cheng Wang may not be able to shoot so quickly, but Yongning will definitely find him in the shortest time.
Soon, what she had to face was Yongning and Shen Yurong, the culprits who caused an unjust case in the Xue family.
The carriage stopped at the corner of the street. Jiang Li came to the carriage and got into the carriage with Tong'er's help. Tong'er and Baixue were also coming up, and suddenly they heard Jiang Li's voice from inside: "Wait."
Tonger and Baixue don't know why.
Jiang Li raised his eyes to the person in the carriage.
The young man in red did not blame himself for occupying the magpie's nest. On the contrary, he had a noble and elegant posture, holding a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Second Miss."
Jiang Li paused and sat down opposite him: "Guo Duke."
Ji Heng actually entered his carriage so blatantly, it is conceivable that the carriage driver had already been replaced by him.
"Duke Guo came to see me, why?" Jiang Li asked.
He said: "If you don't come to me, I can only come to you."
Jiang Li thought for a moment: "At the court meeting, thanks to the grandpa speaking for me, Jiang Li is grateful."
"Don't be grateful, Cheng Wang is too stupid, I can't stand it." In his beautiful eyes, Jiang Li's shadow can be clearly reflected, swaying in it, vivid and fragrant, Ji Heng said: "But you are out of the ordinary. To my surprise, after going around for so long, I finally found out about Xue Fangfei."
