Except for the emperor and Kui Lang, no one knew what happened in the imperial study room, only the little servant saw that when Kui Lang came out of the imperial study room, he seemed to be overjoyed, with a hint of anxiety on his brows.
Under the guidance of the little servant, Kui Lang strode towards the palace gate, feeling extremely complicated.
Xiao Yi's army approaching the city was originally great news for him, but at this time when Nangong Mansion was involved in a fraud case, the timing seemed a bit delicate... Xiao Yi was perverted and rebellious, and he finally reconciled with him. He negotiated the conditions. If there is any trouble in the Nangong family at this time, maybe the restoration of himself will change again.
I have been useless in Dayu King for more than two years, and there must be no more mistakes in the restoration!
After leaving the palace, Kui Lang returned to the princess mansion with a heavy heart. He didn't go to see the third princess, but went directly to his study, but he didn't expect that someone was already waiting there.
A young man in a blue casual robe sat by the window, sitting upright, looking at him coldly.
When did this person sneak into the princess mansion? !
Kui Lang's face froze, and his sharp eyes fixed on the young man.
He was also a fierce general on the battlefield. From the opponent's sitting posture, aura, and details on his body, he could tell at a glance that this young man was a soldier who came out of the army, and he had seen a lot of blood on the battlefield.
And the opponent is definitely not from Baiyue.
Is this person an enemy, a friend, or...
Kui Lang's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he was vigilantly on guard, but he didn't make a sound to alarm outsiders.
"It's useless for the son-in-law to come." Tian Detao said coldly.
As a native of southern Xinjiang who was born and raised in southern Xinjiang since childhood, Tian Detao has no affection for Baiyue at all, let alone the eldest prince Kui Lang who took the initiative to provoke war between the two countries. He purposely and mockingly called him the son-in-law.
This is the Dayu Southern Xinjiang accent! When Kui Lang thought about the person coming from southern Xinjiang today, he immediately guessed who the other party was. He was overjoyed and said impatiently: "Please rest assured, I will definitely comply with the conditions that I promised the prince last time."
Tian Detao looked at Kui Lang expressionlessly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I am ordered by the son-in-law to send a message to the son-in-law. Our son-in-law heard that the Nangong family is not going well recently, and the son-in-law is not in a good mood. good."
His tone sounded flat, as if he was just gossiping, but there was a clear threat between the lines.
Kui Lang's heart sank, his face hardly tensed. Not to mention Xiao Yi, an unknown soldier dared to talk to him like this. If he was in Baiyue before, Kui Lang would have killed this person with a single knife to strengthen his army. But today is different from the past, now that I have something to ask from others, I can only swallow my anger.
Kui Lang took a deep breath and said, "Come on, I'm just a proton in the capital now, some facts are really powerless."
Tian Detao smiled, Shizi and Marquis An Yi knew Kui Lang's virtues best, and they knew more about his dealings with Duke Gong.
He stood up abruptly, and said bluntly: "My lord said that Ruijiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it goes on for a long time, it will be detrimental to our Southern Border Army. In addition, he is in a bad mood now, so he can only retreat for the time being. Presumably the emperor I can also understand the difficulties of the son of the world."
Kui Lang's pupils narrowed sharply, and he almost cried out in a gaffe.
His face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and his eyes became darker and darker. He looked at Tian Detao, who was two feet away, and the eyes of the two met in midair, sparks shot out, and neither of them would back down. !
Silence spread in the study...
After a long while, Kui Lang finally clenched his fists and said firmly: "Please come and give me a few more days. I will try my best." His complexion was still cloudy.
Tian Detao doesn't care what Kui Lang thinks, as long as he achieves his goal.
He cupped his fists casually, and said, "Then I'll take my leave." He put his hand on the window sill, and flew out, coming quietly, and no one disturbed anyone when he left...
Kui Lang still stood motionless on the same spot, staring blankly at the empty window, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss.
For him, nothing can be more important than Baiyue, Baiyue is his country and his foundation.
Now seeing that Baiyue's throne is almost at his fingertips, other "insignificant" things can be put aside for the time being.
Anyway, the life and death of the Nangong family is not important to him at all, so Xiao Yi, who offended him because of this, lost the big because of it.
It seems that he is going out for a trip!
Kui Lang had an idea in his mind, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
An hour later, Kui Lang took the third princess out of the princess mansion, and a group of horses and horses left the mansion in a mighty manner. Everyone in the whole house knew that the son-in-law was going to accompany the third princess to visit some royal brothers.
After leaving the mansion, the chariots and horses headed towards Gongjun Prince's mansion with a clear goal...
…
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and this good news from the southern border caused waves and ripples one after another in this lifeless royal capital.
The next morning, the atmosphere of the entire Golden Luan Hall was renewed because of this good news. No one was so foolish as to offend the emperor to bring up the case of fraud at this time. All kinds of songs about the emperor's merits and virtues were heard in the court hall one after another. It was as if the person who personally led troops to attack the capital of Baiyue was the emperor.
The emperor was very pleased with what he heard, and he only felt that Dayu was now prosperous and prosperous, and its national power was growing day by day, making it impossible for the small barbarian countries to fight back.
After his death, even if he doesn't get the title of governing the world, he will be worthy of the late emperor under Jiuquan.
Before the early dynasty ended, the news of the Great Victory in Southern Xinjiang had already spread throughout the entire capital, and even the ordinary people were discussing it enthusiastically, all of them were radiant with pride, and everyone praised the emperor He has meritorious deeds in governing the country. The son of Zhennan Prince is a martial arts star descended from the sky, so he is invincible and invincible, which makes the barbarians in all directions frightened.
Streets and corners, street sheds, teahouses and restaurants... all talk about how lively they are.
In a teahouse in the south of the city, some students gathered there spontaneously, expressing their opinions and talking about current affairs.
"Happy! Really happy! The Southern Border Army went straight to the capital city of Baiyue, really admiring my country's prestige!" In the middle of the lobby on the first floor, a scholar in a lake-colored robe said loudly, holding up another glass of water and wine Said, "Xiaosheng respects the son of Zhennan Prince and the Southern Frontier Army!"
After finishing speaking, he drank the water and wine in his hand, and he seemed to have a somewhat heroic and unruly temperament.
Other literati and bachelors also responded one after another, and several people also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, another middle-aged literati in Tsing Yi sighed: "This son of the Zhennan Prince is really like his ancestors. He defeated Baiyue and Nanliang repeatedly, and now he is even approaching the capital of Baiyue. There is such a thing in southern Xinjiang. The general protects my Dayu frontier, and the frontier is safe!"
"What this brother said is true." An old pedant wearing a straight gray gown at the next table said, "That Prince Xiao has strategized and is invincible. He can be called a famous general in the world, and he is enough to write a biography."
The so-called famous generals not only have to be invincible, but also have enough deterrent power. Once the enemy army hears his name, even if they have millions of soldiers, they will be terrified, and sir will retreat.
This point, whether it is the fallen official Ruyan, or the current son of Zhennan Wang, is well-deserved.
Many tea guests nodded again and again, feeling sorry for each other. The old man stroked his beard and continued: "It is true that a wife is a good husband. It has also done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country and the people, this Nangong Mansion is worthy of being a century-old family, and the daughters it teaches are different from the common house girls."
"As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The Nangong family is a century-old scholarly family, which is not ordinary." The middle-aged scholar also responded with admiration, and then remembered something, "I heard that the Nangong family The second daughter recently broke up with that unkind husband-in-law, it's really a good moral!"
"If the Nangong family's daughter is like this, it can be seen that her father and brother are both elegant gentlemen. It's a pity..." The scholar in the lake-colored robe sighed faintly.
He didn't explain what he said, but recently the fraud case has caused waves again, and the city is full of troubles. Everyone knows what he is "regretting"...
The teahouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone's hearts were a little heavy.
It is probably the most embarrassing thing in this world for a villain to succeed and a good person to be wronged, but in the face of power, what can ordinary people like them do? !
In the silence, a brown-robed student suddenly stood up, attracting many eyes in the hall.
Seeing that his eyes were red, showing grief, anger, pain, and struggle, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made a decision, and said resolutely: "Master Nangong is so upright and honest, and the Nangong family is even more of our literati." I am a role model, I shouldn't have done this... I, I am a sinner, not worthy of reading sage books!"
He spoke incongruously, and many tea guests were confused and looked at each other in blank dismay. They could only vaguely guess from some key words in it that this person seemed to have done something wrong to the Nangong family.
The brown-robed student became more and more excited as he spoke, with bulging veins on his forehead, he said loudly: "Actually, it's not Mr. Nangong who Enke leaked the question, but King Shunjun!"
As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, shaking the ears of everyone in the teahouse, and they couldn't believe their ears.
I don't know who blurted out: "Isn't the Prince of Shun the Second Prince His Royal Highness?!"
After the words were finished, the whole audience was clamoring and boiling, and a scholar asked eagerly: "Are you a candidate for the current imperial examination? This matter is of great importance. How did you know that you are a mere candidate?"
"I'm the one who failed the exam." The brown-robed student sighed with shame, and said with a flushed face, "It was a waste of me studying the sage books, but I was bought by the king of Shunjun for a mere profit... I can't do it any more. Wrong! I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drums and complain for Mr. Nangong!"
Under the surprised or doubtful gazes of the tea guests, the brown-robed student strode towards the outside of the teahouse, his back as firm as a pines and cypresses.
The tea drinkers in the lobby stood up right after them, greeted each other and followed, and the team went all the way to Jingzhao Mansion...
Half an hour later, the Dengwen Drum in front of the Jingzhao Mansion was sounded. The brown-robed student who called himself Liu Wenhui kept saying that he was touched by the integrity of the Nangong family, and that he didn't want to help the tyrant to do evil and chill the hearts of the students all over the world. He confessed that it was Han Ling, the king of Shunjun Watching life, he and his friend Deng Tinglei incited among the students to slander Mr. Nangong, and Deng Tinglei crashed into the wall and died. It was King Shunjun who really vented his problems.
His words were eloquent, every sentence was sensational, and everyone who heard it was filled with righteous indignation.
No matter how sloppy the governor of Jingzhao is, no matter what hidden secrets are behind this, all he has to do is to hand over the case file to the imperial court as soon as possible.
The emperor immediately became furious. On that day, Han Lingguan, king of Shun County, was brought into the palace to accept the emperor's questioning.
"Snapped-"
The emperor directly threw the case file handed over by Yin Jingzhao to Han Lingguan, and said coldly: "Nizi, what else do you have to say?!"
Facing the emperor's fury, Han Lingguan was still at a loss. After he picked up the file and read it, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe his eyes.
This, how is this possible? !
No matter how confused Han Lingguan was, he could not admit to this crime.
If he admits this, even if he will not be in danger of his life as a prince, he will probably miss the position of supreme in this life. Even if his father is "forgetful" enough, the students all over the world will keep this matter in mind.
"Father, I have been wronged! I have never met this Liu Wenhui. I don't know why this person slanders me. His words are unfounded. Father, you can't trust the words of such a villain!" Gritting his teeth, he refused to admit it.
The emperor squinted at Han Lingguan, his sharp eyes almost piercing him.
Of course, the emperor didn't want the prince to be involved in the fraud case. This was a big scandal for the royal family and a big stain on his political achievements.
Han Ling walked forward on his knees, kowtowed deeply, and said earnestly: "I hope the emperor will investigate thoroughly, and return my son's innocence!"
The emperor said coldly: "Of course I will check it out!"
On this day, Han Lingguan knelt until the palace gate was locked before leaving.
Later, Dali Temple, which took over the fraud case, ordered Liu Wenhui to be severely interrogated. This person confessed that it was Su Zongyuan from the Su Mansion who told him how to act. And after searching Su's mansion, they found an account book and some shady secrets from the secret compartment of Su Zongyuan's study, including the handle of Mr. Hao who hanged himself a few days ago.
The truth of the matter has been revealed.
It was precisely because Mr. Hao was wronged by King Shunjun that he made the illusion of committing suicide in fear of crime, and left "clues" to frame Nangong Qin.
The several adults in charge of investigating the case were all shocked. This Shunjun king usually acts like a virtuous king, but he did not expect to stir up the wind and rain in secret.
I don't know if the Nangong family offended him, or... Thinking of the fifth prince in the palace, several adults felt that they had guessed something.
The most angry person is undoubtedly the emperor. Although he has long suspected that this son has some evil intentions, he never thought that he would dare to do such a rebellious thing that harmed the court.
The emperor was so angry that he was almost in a hurry. After Eunuch Liu lit the Anshenxiang, his mood gradually eased, and he summoned Han Lingguan to enter the palace again.
Han Lingguan guessed that he should be framed when he was summoned by the emperor for the first time. Although Liu Wenhui belonged to Han Lingfu, at the beginning, Han Lingguan only thought that he and Han Lingfu were being plotted by others, but when things developed to this point, even his father-in-law and brother-in-law were involved, while Han Lingfu was unharmed, Han Lingguan Finally, he can be convinced that the person who framed and plotted against him is his good brother—
Han, Ling, Fu!
Han Lingguan had known for a long time that Han Lingfu was not trustworthy, and it was only because the two had a common enemy that they could form an alliance temporarily. However, he did not expect that Han Lingfu had already started to eradicate dissidents before the enemy fell down!
Thinking about it, Han Lingguan really wanted to cut Han Lingfu into pieces.
However, it was already too late, this time the emperor's action was so fast that he had no time to make any preparations.
Escorted by Jin Yiwei, Han Lingguan came to the imperial study again, before the emperor's imperial case.
At this time, even if Han Lingguan refused to admit it at first, he had to bow his head in front of all kinds of "conclusive" evidence... Even if he wanted to blame all the crimes on the Su family, it was obvious from the emperor's appearance. won't believe it.
Based on his understanding of his father, instead of angering Shengyan again, it would be better...
He gritted his molars, bowed his head humbly and said: "Father, my son is guilty."
Six words, a final decision.
The emperor picked up the ink stick on the side and threw it out without hesitation. At this moment, Han Lingguan raised his head and was about to speak when the ink stick hit his forehead. After two muffled bangs, The ink stick fell on the marble floor, leaving some ink stains and a red mark on Han Lingguan's fair forehead, which looked shocking.
Enduring the pain, Han Lingguan said again: "Father, although my son is guilty, so is the third brother. This matter was planned by the third brother, and my son is just an accomplice..." Of course, Han Lingguan was not willing to let go of the real culprit The culprit, no matter what, he must fight to the death!
