Han Lingfan swiped his brush down, and the eye-catching red brush stroked down on the booklet, enclosing a word—
"cut".
After putting down the Langhao pen, Han Lingfan raised his eyes to look at the chief assistant and third secretary who were waiting behind the case, and said in a deep voice: "The crime Han Lingfu committed is unforgivable." At this moment, Han Lingfan no longer Call him Brother Sanhuang, but call him by his name directly, "Pass down my order to order Jin Yiwei Commander Lu Huaining to search his mansion, and Han Lingfu beheaded at the Meridian Gate three days later to show the public!"
Han Lingfan's sonorous and forceful voice echoed in the imperial study room, and the others couldn't hide their surprise when they heard the words, and looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Your Majesty," Dali Siqing took the lead in persuading him, with a tactful tone, "Should we reconsider Han Lingfu's treatment?"
"I've made up my mind." Han Lingfan said directly.
Several ministers looked at each other again, this time Cheng Dongyang said seriously: "What the emperor said is not bad, Han Lingfu cannot atone for his crimes even if he dies, but it is not worthwhile to ruin the emperor's name for him, and make the emperor be disrespectful to his elder brother." reputation."
In the imperial study room, there was a moment of silence, Han Lingfan looked around at Cheng Dongyang and the others, smiled wryly, and said slowly: "In the past few months, I have been patient with Han Lingfu because I care too much about reputation, so I will His ambitions were fueled, and the court was in trouble, but since I took the throne, I have achieved nothing, and the people of Dayu are in chaos, and the wind and rain are precarious."
Following these words, Han Lingfan's expression was as firm as iron, and his dark eyes sparkled, and he said: "It is the court's fault and my fault that the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment!"
His voice was neither soft nor heavy, but the power contained in those words was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of several ministers, making them moved.
Cheng Dongyang was the first to kneel down, and then the three divisions also knelt down, saying in unison: "The minister is guilty."
After the words were finished, the imperial study room was silent, and a needle could be heard, and the atmosphere was very dignified, which meant that the case had now been concluded, and Han Lingfu had no chance of turning over!
At this time, most of the setting sun outside had already set, the sky was dim yellow, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds dyed red by the setting sun. The emperor's decree was spread to the sky prison before the night fell completely.
The dungeon was dark and damp, with a gloomy and musty smell permeating it.
After the little servant read out the imperial edict, Han Lingfu, who was sitting cross-legged on a straw mat, couldn't believe his ears. How could this be possible? ! That weak Han Lingfan actually dared to kill him? !
Shouldn't Han Lingfan sentence himself to exile for the sake of his own reputation, or sentence himself to be imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum, perhaps after a period of time, and then report himself to die of illness
Han Lingfu's eyes were bloodshot. He thought that no matter what, he could live for another month or two, and if he planned something secretly, there might be a glimmer of hope!
Why did the result turn out to be like this? !
Han Lingfu stood up abruptly, grabbed the wooden fence of the cell, his eyes were shattered, and he roared with hatred: "Go and call Han Lingfan!"
"Han Lingfan, you despicable villain, you framed me, you will not die well"
"Han Lingfan, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"
"What are you, dare to kill me, you are just a false emperor with a dishonorable name"
"Father clearly belongs to me"
The sound of cursing and cursing continued to come out of Han Lingfu's mouth, extremely vicious, like a street-swearing shrew, every sentence was unbearable.
"Brother Three Emperors"
Suddenly, a familiar sigh floated out from the dark corner, full of disappointment and helplessness.
Han Lingfu fell silent instantly, staring at the direction of the sound like a poisonous snake, and said through gritted teeth: "Sneaky! Han Lingfan, are you ashamed to see people?!"
During the speech, a tall and thin figure walked out of the shadows and approached the cell where Han Lingfu was located. He was wearing an indigo brocade robe and a jade crown. He had a handsome appearance and a tall and straight figure. It was Han Lingfan.
The two brothers looked at each other across a prison door, one was the real dragon emperor, the other was a prisoner on death row, the difference was huge.
"Han Lingfan, did you come here just to watch me laugh at me?" Han Lingfu asked angrily with gloomy eyes.
A look of disappointment flashed in Han Lingfan's eyes, it was brothers after all, that's why he came to Tianlao to see him, maybe he always had a glimmer of hope for Han Lingfu in his heart.
"Brother Sanhuang, this is the last time I will see you. Do you have anything else to say?" Han Lingfan said calmly, his eyes getting colder.
"What did you say?!" Han Lingfu sneered, "Do you want me to bow my head to you and beg for mercy?! Don't even think about it!"
Han Lingfan shook his head and said, "You still don't know your mistakes!" Han Lingfu killed his father and committed so many wrong things, but now he doesn't even have a trace of remorse.
"Wrong?! What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong.!" Han Lingfu raised his voice and said hoarsely, "You framed me and forced me."
Han Lingfan was completely disappointed, "Brother Sanhuang, I have given you too many chances" but he was still obsessed with it!
"Give me a chance?!" Han Lingfu looked at Han Lingfan and laughed mockingly, "When?! If you really want to, take back the edict and let me out!"
As he said that, he looked at Han Lingfan provocatively, as if saying, otherwise you are hypocritical!
Han Lingfan didn't speak, but just looked at Han Lingfu so quietly, his dark eyes were like a pool of deep pools.
Han Lingfu sneered and said again: "You don't even dare to decide such a trivial matter, Han Lingfan, you are not worthy to be an emperor!"
Han Lingfan sighed again, the sigh was especially loud in this quiet dungeon, his brows became a little more stern, and he said: "Whether I am worthy to be emperor or not is judged by future generations, not by you, brother three emperors." It's up to you!"
Han Lingfan flicked his sleeves, and lightly dropped the last few words: "You can do it yourself."
During the words, he turned around and strode away.
Seeing that Han Lingfan was about to leave just like that, Han Lingfu realized that he was panicking. Could it be that Han Lingfan really wanted to kill his elder brother? !
Isn't he afraid that the world will think that he doesn't even let his brother go, and his murderous intent is too heavy
Isn't he afraid that people in the world will question him for the rest of his life
Han Lingfu's pupils narrowed sharply, watching Han Lingfan drifting away, seeing that the other party was about to disappear around the corner, he finally couldn't suppress the fear of death in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Five emperors, wait! Yes! I was wrong! I admit my mistake, I confess my guilt, I am born from the same root as brothers, please let me live!"
In the end, Han Lingfu's voice was almost a roar, and his hands holding the fence trembled slightly. He doesn't want to die yet! He can't die!
Han Lingfan paused slightly, then continued to walk forward amidst Han Lingfu's shouts, without even turning his head.
Watching Han Lingfan's back disappear from sight, Han Lingfu sat down limply on the ground, his heart was as cold as the twelfth lunar month and winter, in a daze, he seemed to see Black and White Impermanence approaching him again, and the sound of the soul chain was in his ears Can't echo
"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this," Han Lingfu murmured almost madly.
How could he lose to a useless and weak person like Han Lingfan!
Since the heavens allowed him to be born in the royal family, and since he was endowed with such great talents and strategies, he should naturally be the right man!
As for Han Lingfan, he could no longer hear Han Lingfu's unwilling roar behind him, and he had already walked out of the dungeon.
The sky outside was dark, and the twilight merged, leaving only the golden setting sun in the western sky. ..
Han Lingfan stared at the last bit of brilliance in the sky. The chaos and haze in his eyes suddenly dissipated in the cool evening breeze, and his expression became more determined.
Since he is the emperor, and since he shoulders the responsibility of Dayu, he must do things that are beneficial to Dayu!
This is his mission!
Han Lingfan strode away against the night wind, resolutely, as if he had resolutely left something behind
The night finally fell completely, and this night was destined to be a long night. Jin Yiwei went to the Han Mansion to search the house under the holy order, and all the property in the mansion was searched and fined.
The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. In less than an hour, the huge Han Mansion was empty.
Those Han Ling Fu Party members were all trembling, fearing that they would be the next one to be assigned by ransacking their homes. This night, many people in the mansion were tossing and turning, staying up all night.
The next day, when the sun rose again, all the officials gathered in the Golden Luan Hall to participate in the morning court as usual. These people were obviously the same, but there was a feeling of strangeness.
After a short period of silence, the Minister of the Household Department came out to oppose sending troops to Jingzhou on the grounds that the treasury was empty and the army could not be allocated.
But this time, Han Lingfan had already made up his mind, and turned his head to tell the little servant next to him, and the little servant shouted in a sharp voice: "Commander Lu Huaining, Commander of Jinyiwei, will meet you!"
All the officials couldn't help but looked at each other, confused, completely unable to understand what the relationship between the emptiness of the national treasury and the "Yellow Turban Army" in Jingzhou had to do with the Jinyiwei. Could it be that the emperor proclaimed Lu Huaining because he was going to be punished because the Minister of the Household Department raised objections? !
Under the surprised or suspicious eyes of all the officials, Lu Huaining walked into the Golden Luan Hall with dozens of Jinyi guards. What attracted everyone's attention was the heavy red lacquered wooden boxes. Heaped to the brim.
"See Your Majesty, this is what was confiscated from the Han Mansion last night."
Amidst Lu Huaining's sonorous and forceful voice, the boxes were opened, and all the officials gasped. They saw that the dozen or so wooden boxes were filled with glittering gold and silver jewels. Jewelry.
Han Lingfan on the throne looked down at the courtiers in the hall, and took their different reactions into his eyes. His heart was unprecedentedly calm, and he said loudly to the Minister of the Household Department: "My lord, the Jin Yiwei raided the Han residence yesterday, which is just a good solution. This is an urgent matter, now there is enough military silver! What do you think, Master Li?"
Han Lingfan's tone was indifferent, as if there was no difference from usual, but the Hubu Shangshu clearly felt that it was different, the emperor had become different!
It was as if before he was just a person who was passively pushed to the throne, but now he is a real monarch, and he began to have the thunderous spirit of an emperor.
The whole hall was silent, the courtiers were caught off guard by the new emperor's unexpected response, they couldn't react for a while, they just listened to the Minister of the Ministry of Households bowing their heads and saying yes, saying that today they would immediately arrange for someone to count the silver and fill it into the treasury.
Seeing this, Yong Yang, who originally planned to come forward, was very relieved, the emperor has really grown up, it seems that it won't be long before she will be able to enjoy the rest of her life in her princess mansion!
There was a faint smile on the corner of Yong Yang's mouth, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Seeing that the ministers seconded the proposal, Han Lingfan simply struck while the iron was hot, and directly ordered Nangongxin and Jiang Mingqing to enter the court.
As he expected, this move immediately attracted objections from the Ministry of Rites, who objected on the grounds that he would not change his father's will for three years. However, Han Lingfan had made up his mind. So far, there are many parties in the DPRK and China, and the only ones I can really trust are these two former companions.
After yesterday's joint trial by the three divisions and the emperor's resolute actions just now, the Manchu Dynasty was a little shocked. After Cheng Dongyang and En Guogong seconded the emperor, no one raised any objections.
After the morning court that day, the emperor's imperial decree was sent to Nangong Mansion immediately, and the gate of Nangong Mansion, which had been closed for several months, opened again to welcome the angels into the mansion.
Nangong Xin knelt in the main hall and bowed his head to listen to the decree. The sharp voice of the eunuch who issued the decree came to his ears. Nangong Xin listened attentively, fearing that he would miss every word and every sentence. .
Although he only went to the Ministry of Households to be a small inspector of the Ministry of Households, this was already a solid first step!
At the beginning, when his family went to the old house in the south of the Yangtze River, he was the only one who stayed in the capital. This was for the sake of friendship and Han Lingfan's kindness; but now, after going through so many things, he also has his own ideals and wants to Together with Han Lingfan to support this precarious Dayu, to make the world peaceful and the common people happy, it is not in vain for his seven-foot man to go through this world!
When the last word "Qin this" fell down, Nangong Xin bowed respectfully to the ground, and replied loudly: "I obey the order."
He took the Dominic yellow scroll with both hands held high, as if he took over his future.
After the angel who issued the decree left, the Nangong mansion was full of joy. The arrival of this imperial decree injected a burst of vitality into the empty mansion. Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan personally went to the mansion of Princess Yongyang to tell the good news. The couple didn't leave the princess mansion until nightfall
The king's capital this night has been much quieter than last night, but in some unknown corners, the hustle and bustle has not subsided.
Amidst the sound of gongs and drums at the second watch, a few uninvited guests ushered in at the back door of Fengyin Restaurant. Two Jinyi guards escorted a woman in a hood.
"Man, we brought it to you as promised." One of the Jin Yiwei with a mustache said nonchalantly to the fat owner of the restaurant.
"Please, please." The fat boss personally received the reception, and while speaking with a smile, he pulled off the woman's hood.
After taking off the hood, a woman's beautiful but pale face was revealed. Under the silver moonlight, her dark eyes were full of fear and hatred. It was Bai Muxiao.
"Hmm..." Bai Muxiao tried to question her, but her mouth was blocked with a rag, and she couldn't speak at all.
The Jin Yiwei with the mustache said again: "Since the person is entrusted to you, then we will leave." After saying that, the two Jin Yiwei clasped their fists and left without any regrets, leaving only Bai Muxiao still trying to "" Huh huh huh" sound.
The fat boss looked at Bai Muxiao, smiled slightly, and warned: "Bai Shi, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better be obedient this way. Let's all rest easy."
On that day, the fat boss was ordered to disclose Bai Muxiao's whereabouts to the new emperor. Xiao Yi has never been in a loss-making business. Of course, this news was not given for nothing. , and returned Bai Muxiao.
Originally, the fat boss was worried that with the indecisive temperament of the new emperor Han Lingfan, he didn't know when he would be able to return him. After all, the prince was still waiting. I didn't expect that this time the new emperor changed his temper and quickly ended it. this matter.
Bai Muxiao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately understood what the fat boss meant, where is he taking her? !
The fat boss didn't intend to answer her question, he looked at the restaurant with some reluctance, and heaved a long sigh: Hey, just because of Bai Muxiao, the stronghold of Fengyin Restaurant was exposed, so he had no choice but to abandon it!
night is getting dark
The next day it was only dawn, and a green-covered carriage drove out from the back door of the restaurant, and drove all the way out of the south gate of the capital.
The destination is southern Xinjiang thousands of miles away!
