Who said that heroes don't cry, but they haven't reached the saddest place yet.
Hua Yingting cried so loudly that King Ying, who had just walked outside the door, took two steps back and asked Zhao Sancai, who was standing outside the door, "Eunuch Zhao, General Hua... Are you alright?"
Did the royal father blame him for what happened just now
"Please, Eunuch Zhao, help me convey that I want to see the father." The more King Ying thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"My lord, please wait a moment."
After Zhao Sancai entered the hall, Hua Yingting's cry soon disappeared. King Ying couldn't help but probed the probe, and Zhao Sancai came out: "Your Majesty, please come in."
The King of England strode into the hall and saw that General Hua was standing beside him, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had been wronged. The father's face was normal, and he couldn't see joy or anger.
"Father," the King of England saluted to Emperor Changlong, "Father, my son suspects that Yushi Xie deliberately smeared General Hua's family because someone was behind it."
Emperor Changlong looked at this son with relief, and was actually willing to use his brain, which is really gratifying.
"Well, it makes sense." Emperor Changlong nodded: "Then who do you think is most likely?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Xie family. Their family has caused such a big disaster, and they definitely want to drag the Hua family into the water. Maybe they still hate Fushou County Master for saving the prince, which ruins their big plan." King Ying He affirmed: "Look at Yi Erchen, it's not who else they can have, even the censor who slandered Hua Jingyi is a member of their Xie family."
Emperor Changlong sighed, it was good that the eldest son was willing to use his brain, and the demands on him should not be too high.
Seeing the royal father sighing, the king of England was puzzled: "Royal father, did the son-in-law say something wrong?"
"No." Emperor Changlong waved his hands wearily, "You go back to rest first, I will take care of this matter."
"Yes." King Ying looked at the court and withdrew. As soon as he left Chenyang Palace, he met the crown prince and Hua Liuli who came with him.
King Ying cupped his hands silently, and after walking a few steps away, he turned back to Hua Liuli and said, "Don't worry about Fushou County Master, the royal father will not believe the villain's slander."
"Thank you." Hua Liuli thought that King Ying would say something else, but she saw him turning his head away in a sullen manner, not very silent like him.
"Don't look at other men, look at me more." The prince held Hua Liuli's face: "Gu is much prettier than him."
"Yes, yes, the ministers and daughters know that His Highness is the most beautiful." Hua Liuli grabbed the prince's hand: "But now I want to meet His Majesty more, and I have no intention of admiring His Highness's beauty for a while."
The prince chuckled softly and entered the main hall with Hua Liuli. Seeing that it was the Crown Prince and Fushou County Master, Zhao Sancai didn't need to report the news, he smiled and saluted them, and let them enter the door.
"Your Majesty, this person deliberately lured someone from the Xie family to take the bait, and his mind was very sinister." Hua Yingting, who cried a lot, recovered quickly: "If Your Majesty, you believe in the last general, then it is the Xie family who is implicated. Everyone knows that the daughter of the Xie family could not marry the prince, because of love and hate."
"Everyone knows that the Xie family must have resentment towards the end of the general family. But the old man of the Xie family is very stable and tolerant. Even if he really hates our Hua family, it is impossible for the Xie family to take action."
The most suspicious Xie family is actually not that suspicious.
"I think so too." Emperor Changlong handed the letter from Yushi Xie to Hua Yingting: "You can take a look at these letters."
Hua Yingting took a few glances and shook his head: "These handwritings are very similar to those of the dog, but I can be sure that this is definitely not written by him."
"I know." Emperor Changlong nodded: "However, in order to strangle the rumors and arguments in the bud, I can only say to the outside world that this is what I asked Jing Yi to do."
"Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, the General understands." Hua Yingting knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty protects the General's family like this, and the General does not know how to repay you, after all, you gave everything to the Weichen family. "
Rumors are always more attractive than the truth. As long as the rumors that the Hua family may be collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country spreads, the image of the Hua family in the hearts of the people will be greatly affected. Therefore, before the real murderer was found out, His Majesty said at the time that everything was at his instigation.
"You and Wei Qing's family are protecting the country for me, and I should protect you. How can I repay?" Emperor Changlong grabbed Hua Yingting's arm and wanted to drag him from the ground.
It's a pity that he forgot that Hua Qing was a sturdy man of nearly two hundred pounds. With his strength, he couldn't pull it.
The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Hua Yingting immediately followed Emperor Changlong's strength and stood up, touching his tears and said: "It is the last general's luck to meet Mingjun for the general. Even if he throws his head and sheds blood, the last general is willing."
"Hua Aiqing!"
"His Majesty!"
"Cough cough cough." The prince coughed twice, interrupting the monarch and minister's emotional confession, and stepped forward: "Father, the son and the minister have something to ask for."
"What's the matter?" Before Emperor Changlong came out of his moved emotions, he saw Hua Liuli behind the crown prince and couldn't help but said, "Aiqing is good, whether it's the children he has raised, the crown prince can marry such a prince concubine, yes. his luck."
"Where." Hua Yingting hurriedly said, "Prince Prince's palace has both military skills and looks better than Pan An. It is a blessing for the little girl to marry him."
"It's still Liuli."
"His Royal Highness is better."
"Thank you for the praise from the father and General Hua, and the son also feels that the son and the Fushou county master are a natural pair." The prince felt that if they continued to praise, the sky would be dark.
Hua Yingting smiled honestly and looked at the prince, much more cordial than before.
In the court hall today, he thought that the prince would keep silent, but he didn't expect to confront the censor in court for the sake of the Hua family, and even moved his feet in anger.
If he didn't value his daughter, how could the prince not be afraid of rumors and do this
In fact, he has always been worried in his heart that his daughter, who was raised at the border, would be uncomfortable with the prince. The children raised in the palace are very particular and have many rules. A good girl can stay with the prince for a while because of his outstanding appearance, but can she stay with the prince for a lifetime because of her temperament
To this day, when he saw the behavior of the prince in the court, the heart that he raised slowly fell.
Such a prince may not fit the image of a perfect prince in the minds of literati, but it is more suitable for a daughter.
If I had to use words to describe it, it would probably be... Smells congenial
As a father, what I like most is when others praise their son. Having been fed up with others pointing at his prince, Emperor Changlong felt refreshed when he heard Hua Yingting's praise to the prince.
"What did you want to say when you came in just now?" Emperor Changlong still remembered that the prince had something to do with him.
"Erchen thinks that it is very serious for the Xie family to frame the Hua family for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." The prince said, "Erchen thinks that the Xie family should be thoroughly investigated in order to clear their suspicion of colluding with other countries."
Emperor Changlong's eyes brightened: "You mean..."
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the son wants to cool down the Xie family." The prince raised his mouth and smiled very nicely, "The Xie family raised the dead man and assassinated the prince. The evidence is conclusive."
"With two confessions, I went to thoroughly investigate the Xie family, isn't it enough?" Emperor Changlong knocked on the table, "The Xie family is very important in the south, and these reasons alone are not enough."
"It will be available soon." The crown prince said with a smile, "If you promise your son to go out to the palace to play today, you will have it."
Emperor Changlong: "..."
After all that talk, do you still want to sneak out of the palace to play
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the servant girl will take good care of His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli smiled softly.
In front of his future daughter-in-law, Emperor Changlong didn't want to scold the crown prince, so he had to hold back his anger: "He is a big man, he should take good care of you. Let Yuansu accompany you to see more in the capital, shop more, there are Buy what you like and let him pay."
Hua Liuli covered her mouth and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Royal father, General Hua, let's retire first." The prince grabbed Hua Liuli's hand, turned around and walked out, fearing that it would be too late, Emperor Changlong changed his mind.
"Alas." Emperor Changlong sighed and smiled at Hua Yingting: "Young people, you should cultivate more feelings before getting married."
Never let Aiqing see that he has nothing to do with the prince.
"Your Majesty is right." Hua Yingting nodded and said, "The last general also thinks so."
Emperor Changlong's smile became natural, and it was really comforting to have such a courtier who he said made sense to him.
"My lord, the side branch of the Xie family has already brought out the evidence."
"Hmph." The man sneered, "And then what?"
"Of course, then..." the subordinates stammered, "then Emperor Changlong said that he wrote those letters at Hua Jingyi's instruction."
"What did you say?!" The man sat up straight, and even tore the folding fan in his hand: "Seeing Hua Jingyi's evidence of collaborating with the enemy, Emperor Changlong actually said that those were his orders?"
"Yeah." The subordinates were perplexed. Those letters were clearly the handwriting of Hua Jingyi that they arranged for someone to copy, and then they deliberately let someone from the Xie family find out.
How did it change to a statement when it was presented to Emperor Changlong
A normal emperor, when encountering such a rare opportunity, didn't he take the opportunity to suppress the Hua family
"Emperor Changlong actually trusts the Hua family so much?" After a moment of loss, the man understood what Emperor Changlong meant. He wanted to keep the Hua family intact.
As an emperor, how could he not be suspicious of generals? Even after seeing the evidence, he didn't waver at all
This Emperor Changlong, is his brain sick? How can there be such a strange emperor
"My lord, what should I do now?" The subordinates didn't expect Emperor Changlong to not eat this, so they were a little dumbfounded.
"I heard that the mansion where the Hua family lives now was given by Emperor Changlong?" The man pondered for a moment, "In addition, Fushou County Master has a special garden bestowed by him?"
"Yes."
"If someone finds the dragon robe in the garden bestowed by the Lord of Fushou County." The man gracefully opened the folding fan and found that the folding fan had been torn by himself just now, so he threw the fan aside and continued inscrutable: "I really want to know, when Emperor Changlong saw that dragon robe, did he doubt his most beloved son, or his confidant's favorite general?"
"My subordinate understands."
Hua Liuli and the prince went out of the palace to play for a while, and was about to take a carriage back to the palace when suddenly a ragged woman knelt in front of them.
"I beg Master Qingtian to avenge the old woman!"
People came and went on the street, and soon passers-by surrounded the carriage, and the guards of the Prince's Mansion almost drew their knives to warn them.
"Brother Wang, look!" Yang Wen, who lived on the second floor of the inn, saw this scene, and hurriedly called Wang Qi to his hometown: "This old woman who stopped the carriage looks like a scholar's mother who was pushed into the river. ?"
In the days after the scholar was pushed into the river, his mother called out her son's name all day by the river, crying until her eyes were sunken. Later, the yamen from the prefectural government came to drive him away, and the old woman disappeared.
They thought that the old woman was killed by the Xie family and the prefect, but unexpectedly came to the capital.
"Master Qingtian, the women are going to sue the Changyao Prefecture Governor and Xie Jiacao for saving their lives!" The old woman knelt in front of the carriage, took out a piece of paper from her sleeves, raised it above her head, and wept, "I beg your Excellency to take the place of the women. Avenge!"
Everyone was in an uproar, Changyao Prefecture Xie family
"But the Xie family who became the concubine?"
"Is that the concubine who was mad by the princess wearing a green hat?"
"Isn't that saying that he was resentful, sent assassins to assassinate the prince, and was scared crazy after the conspiracy was revealed?"
No matter what the truth was, the people watching the lively soon knew that the Xie family was so careless about their lives that the gray-haired old woman came to the capital to sue the imperial court.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone was a little worried, seeing that this woman was in ragged clothes, she must be a poor family. The Xie family is a big family with a concubine, and they don't know the people sitting in the carriage. Do they dare to take care of this
If you don't dare to care, will the princess' mansion know that the old woman has come to Beijing to file a complaint, will she kill her
"Old man, speak slowly if you have something to say." A guard stepped forward and gently lifted the old woman up: "Tell me what happened first, and only then will our Highness know how to help you."
"His Royal Highness?" the old woman said excitedly, "Is it His Royal Highness?"
The guard smiled and nodded.
"Great, great." The old woman lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Your Highness, my son died wrongly."
"The old woman is from Changyao Prefecture. When the child was three years old, the child's father went away." The old woman said that her deceased husband was killed in battle on the frontier. After her husband died, she raised the child alone, hoping that the child would be named in the gold medal list and serve the court.
"After the deceased husband left, the imperial court gave a lot of pension money. With this money, I hired a husband for my child, let him read and write, and wanted him to serve the country like his father. Beast..." Speaking of which, the old woman nearly fainted from crying.
Seeing that the imperial court was about to open Enke, the child who was raised alone was pushed into the river by the Xie family and drowned, and even the body of the capital was not found.
The poor mother's reporting officer was ignored, but was threatened by the Xie family. Sad, she could only beg all the way to the capital, but she was afraid that the officials in the capital would be like the prefect of Changyao Prefecture, so she had to find the carriage of the nobles on the street and begged.
After listening to the poor woman's tragic life, many people began to wipe their tears, and those who were jealous of evil had already begun to scold the Xie family.
After talking about all her experiences and infecting countless passers-by, the old woman seemed to let go of all her persistence and fainted.
"Send someone to the doctor quickly."
The guards carried the man away, and the zealous people, fearing for the woman's safety, followed.
Those who are more courageous will block in front of the carriage, hoping that the owner of the carriage can express his opinion.
"Please rest assured, my family and fellow villagers, that my Highness will take this matter seriously and will not let a wicked person go."
"really?"
"really."
"There are so many princes in the palace, who is your master?" Someone in the crowd asked with a roaring voice.
"My master is the Crown Prince of the East Palace. He has been jealous of evil since he was a child, and he has always been rude to corrupt officials." The guard who answered said loudly, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness will definitely invite the Emperor to thoroughly investigate the Xie family and the Governor of Changyao Prefecture. "
"His Royal Highness?!" The people felt relieved when they heard the words of His Royal Highness.
I heard that the Prince is the son that His Majesty values most, and the son-in-law of General Hua. If it were him, he would definitely not cover Xie's family.
The author has something to say: Prince: It's hot, let Xie Jia cool down.
