Chapter 130: I have no regrets for seeking personal gain for her
The emperor's dragon body was in disobedience, and even the morning court was in Qianqing Palace.

Although this place is not as grand as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is still majestic and majestic. Beside the door with red sandalwood flying gold and nine dragons circling, there are armored guards standing quietly.

A low voice came from inside, and then a man whose voice seemed to have been pinched shouted: "Pass Fan Li——"

The corners of Fei's robe moved slightly as he moved forward, and I followed him with lowered eyes.

The gold bricks were shiny, shining like a layer of broken gold in the morning light.

Fan Li made a formal greeting in front of him, and then a soft and feeble man's voice said: "Fan Qing, please get up." It turned out to be the emperor.

The emperor continued: "At the moment of the war, Fan Qing said in the book that he had something important to report and made a special trip back to the capital. Why is it so urgent?"

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Dong'an County has been put down, and its leaders Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others have all been rectified. The humble ministers are here only for the Cao family. When the Cao family and his son were officials in the same dynasty, they were loyal and loyal. This is a lesson from heaven and earth. Wei Chen and Cao Junlei met each other when they were young, and they still cherish each other. He is forthright, noble in character, frank and sincere in dealing with others. He has many friends since he was a child, and Uncle Cao is even more loyal. Everyone in the court knows that, so if we say that Cao's family Conspiracy of rebellion, I will definitely not believe it."

Fan Li had a deep voice. Before he finished speaking, the ministers were heard whispering in the palace: "This is indeed the case for the Cao family and his son."

"No, they won't rebel no matter what."

"There must be some hidden secret." The emperor's voice became lowered, "This matter has been handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation. Fan Qing does not know the reason, so there is no need to mention it again."

The emperor's words were filled with anger, but Fan Li had repeatedly made meritorious deeds in battles, was a good general in the court, and was a loyal minister, so he just scolded him for silence and did not punish him.

"The reason your Majesty said was that the Sixth Prince was recovering from his injuries in Yangzhou?"

Fan Lilang said loudly, turning a deaf ear to the emperor's dissatisfaction, and still said: "We heard Cao Junlei say this before. At that time, the Cao family moved to Yangzhou. By chance, they met Liang Xianyi, who was seriously injured by the Yellow Turban Army. There were many anti-people in Yangzhou. Cao Junlei was afraid that the publicity would cause trouble, so he wanted to wait until Liang Xianyi recovered from his injuries before sending him back to Beijing. Later, the news was leaked. Rebels broke into the house where he was recovering from his injuries, and Liang Xianyi was almost killed again. Speaking of this, it was only Cao Junlei's righteousness and the situation. Forced.”

"Why didn't you hear them mention it when you returned to Beijing later?" the emperor said lightly.

"Liang Xianyi killed the deputy leader of the Yellow Turban Army back then. They have been looking for opportunities to retaliate. The tombs of the Cao family's ancestral home are all in Yangzhou. Revealing this will cause a lot of harm but no benefit, so there is no need to mention it again."

A cold snort came from deep in the hall: "You have been taking care of me for a year, but you have become estranged after coming to Beijing? You only know one thing but not the other, so you come to the court to make noise. I miss your ignorance, so I won't punish you this time. If you dare If I mention it again, I won’t be lenient."

"Back to Your Majesty, I have a second matter to report today."

"According to the report." Fan Li had a close relationship with Cao Junlei. He complained about the grievances of the Cao family and spoke uprightly, which was understandable. However, the emperor had already made up his mind, and no matter what he said, it would be of no use.

I thought he had other political and military information to report back, but I felt that there was no hope anymore. For a moment, my heart was as cold as an ice abyss, and I stood still, and the previous nervousness and fear were gone.

Fan Li suddenly said: "The humble minister wants to impeach Liang Xianyi for robbing the minister's concubine... When he was in the northern border, Liang Xianyi used power for personal gain and deducted military supplies... He only wanted to eat, drink and have fun..."

There was a "buzz" sound, and the blood all over my body rushed to the top of my head, and I could hardly stand still.

It wasn't until my hands tightened and the roll of paper I was holding was taken away that I woke up and came back to my senses. "These are some records and accounts of my time in the north. When military supplies were tight, Liang Xianyi gathered many people for banquets, recited poems and composed poems. Not only was he not worried about the Tatar rebellion at the front, he also forced me to wait at Cheng'en Temple. Write a poem."

"When Wei Chen was in Yangzhou, he fell in love with a maid in the Cao Mansion and they made a lifelong commitment. There are more than ten letters she wrote to Chen as proof!"

"But later, when the woman was brought to the palace with Cao Yingshan as a dowry, Liang Xianyi actually coerced her into marrying him as his concubine. What's even more detestable is that in order to flatter Tang Shou, he threw the woman into the government office. These accounts were for the revenue and expenditure of grain, grass and military supplies."

The courtiers were in an uproar.It turned out to be "a romantic secret", but Fan Li said it with righteousness and sternness, as if he was reporting a battle report, sonorous and powerful. He had clearly finished speaking, but I still felt that his voice was still lingering in my ears...

When Wei Chen was in Yangzhou, he fell in love with a maid from the Cao Mansion and they made a lifelong commitment... Liang Xianyi actually coerced and induced her to marry him as his concubine...

Moreover, he actually knew that those letters were all written by me.

Cao Yingshan had never written a letter to Fan Li before, and she felt that he had never seen her handwriting, so she asked me to write the whole process without even copying it myself. The handwriting in those letters was indeed mine, but I marked the signature of each letter. A branch of red coral was carefully painted on it. When it was handed over by Cao Junlei, it was clearly stated that it was from Cao Yingshan.

How did he know?

It was a method I came up with to expose Liang Xianyi for snatching his concubine, but it was only used as a last resort before the case was decided. It may not be useful to mention it now, so I felt even more harsh, like a ray of light on my back.

From the ears to the cheeks, it was hot. The sweat on the back of the tight-fitting clothes was smeared on the skin. He was confused, but deep down he knew that although Fan Li was exposing Liang Xianyi, he was actually trying to get rid of Liang Xianyi and Cao Junlei. crime.

Liang Xianyi loved elegance and recited poems. It was normal for him to write poems for Cao Junlei. As for the poems that Jin Yiwei found in Cao Junlei's study, wouldn't it be nitpicking if he had to say that they had another origin?
At this time, Fan Li said again: "Because of this, Cao Junlei alienated Liang Xianyi, just because he was a prince in the past because of his incompetence and arrogance. Unexpectedly, Cao Junlei rescued the woman twice, but was mistaken for the prince. In fact, Cao Junlei rescued the woman twice. It is extremely unjust.”

"Weichen and Cao Junlei knew the woman well before Liang Xianyi. One of her sisters had participated in the draft. After being selected, she had an accident and fell into the water before she left Yangzhou. That day, a royal boat was damaged. Two Cao Junlei later learned that everything was caused by Tang Shou's sexual humiliation. However, Tang Shou had too much power in the court and it was difficult to bring him to justice without real evidence. Until the ministers heard that a maid in the palace had been raped by Tang Shou again. Shou was humiliated and died, and then the woman was also imprisoned by Tang Shou, and then she asked Cao Junlei to save her life..."

"Shut up! Fan Li, are you telling me that you conspired with Cao Junlei?" the emperor said slowly and sternly.

The hall was silent for a moment, no one dared to speak.Fan Li knelt down and said: "I have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic in my life, filial piety and brotherhood, and have never acted beyond the rules, but I can't ignore her in danger and seek personal gain for her. I have no regrets, but I only hurt Cao Junlei." I am about to lose my life. I am willing to die to protect the loyalty of the Cao family and hope that the Holy One will give me a clear warning!"

"You think I don't dare to kill you? Someone -"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." A minister came out and knelt down to plead for mercy.

"Your Majesty, calm down—" Another minister came out.

"The father and son of the Cao family are loyal and dedicated to their duties. Cao Junlei has a bright future. Why should he agree with the dandy? I hope the saints will give me a clear warning."

"The emperor's lesson!"
