Chapter 287 Chapter 68-1 Avoiding Misfortune

The civil strife subsides, the foreign troubles are initially settled, the emperor amnesties the world, reduces taxes and military service, and most of the refugees who fled to escape the war return to their hometowns to live in peace, and the scientific examination that has been delayed for several months has also entered the examination process. scene.However, the keen old man sensed the crisis behind this thriving appearance. The imperial power had swelled to the extreme due to the emperor's schemes and erratic interventions, and there was no one in the court who could compete with it, like A super chaebol like the Yun family would logically become the emperor's next target.

Therefore, the Yun family did their best to fulfill the request made by the imperial court, collecting military expenses and providing money to resettle the refugees. As long as the emperor opened his mouth, the Yun family would come out unequivocally. Everything was just to get out of the capital and return to Cangdu safely. .A few days ago, the old man had submitted a request for an order, but the request was suppressed by the emperor, who delayed it again and again on the grounds that the court still needed the help of Marquis Yongle.Originally, the old man held a title, but he was not a court official who wanted to do practical things. He didn't need the emperor's approval to go anywhere.Once I asked the old man in such a doubtful way, the old man smiled and said: "The emperor is always watching the Yun family because of money matters. If you want to leave safely, you still have to ask for an order."

"He can't be..." I always refused to believe that the emperor would really do something to the Yun family. All along the way, I showed my kindness to him in every possible way, just to hope that he would show kindness to the Yun family.The old man suddenly raised his eyes to look at me, and snorted coldly: "No way? He even dared to kill his own uncle and brother, let alone an outsider who has nothing to do with him!"

"King Jing's attempt to usurp the throne deserves to die!" I bit my lip, "Didn't the ninth master disappear in the barracks? How can it be said that the emperor wanted to kill him? Besides, didn't the emperor want to reward the three armies before, and said that the ninth king was wronged?" Suffering, call him back to Beijing to take care of him?"

"You met King Jing in the prison, don't you know what's going on with him?" The old man asked back, "King Jing deserves to die, but if someone else is the emperor and sees him like that, would he still insist on giving him Jiujiu? He doesn't even put on a face on the surface, and his heart is so cold that even King Jing can't compare to him."

I can't speak.Before the execution of King Jing, the emperor allowed me to visit him in the prison. I had many questions that I wanted to get confirmation from him, such as why Yunzheng was sent down?For example, does he still have collusion with the second wife of the Yun family?Even for example, back then he made people drop Chu Shang, isn't it true?The cause of Chu Shang's death was my framing, the emperor's siege, or his poisoning?However, when I went to the sky prison full of doubts, what I saw was a madman who was deranged. Wang couldn't bear such a heavy blow, and he went crazy the next day in prison.If it was someone else, maybe in order to show their benevolence, they would spare King Jing's life and let him be imprisoned like this for a lifetime. Back then, King Nine pretended to be crazy, so King Jing let him go?But the emperor just said coldly: "How do I know if he is really crazy or fake?" He still gave the dove wine.

However, I don't think the emperor did anything wrong. King Jing has a deep hatred with me.The emperor dealt with King Jing with a single sentence, and suddenly lost the hatred that supported my heart, and I felt a little empty instead, empty in my heart.King Jing rebelled, and all the people in the palace were convicted, and I didn't let my heart soften. I just asked the emperor to ask Yuzhu for favors, and spared her the fate of being tattooed as a slave. .The emperor listened, with an expression of unclear meaning in his eyes, and said indifferently: "You have a heart, so how do you think you should deal with this person?"

Speaking of which, someone escorted someone up. It was the day of the palace change. The Habayashi Army escorted out the man in the uniform of the Ouchi guard. He was forced to kneel on the ground with scars from torture, and he was still staring at us viciously. .I glanced at the emperor in surprise, not understanding, so I said: "Your Majesty, I don't know this person, and I don't know what crime he has committed."

"Do you still remember that you were assassinated on the street more than two years ago?" The emperor looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "It was this man who planned it."

"It's him?" I was taken aback, and then I looked at this man seriously and searched the memory in my mind.The emperor said coldly: "Lei Yi, why did you send someone to assassinate Mrs. Rong Hua?"

"Since you found out that I did it, what are you asking? If you want to kill or cut, just let it go!" Lei Yi snorted coldly, with a fearless expression on his face.Hearing his voice, I felt a little familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before, and then I heard the emperor call him Lei Yi, and he was dressed as a guard, and I suddenly remembered that when I saw the little princess in the imperial garden, I heard a guard He stopped and scolded her maid, who seemed to call him "Guard Lei".

"I remember, I remember your voice." I looked at him and said out loud.Lei Yi was stunned for a moment, the emperor looked at me with a surprised face: "Have you seen him?"

"The concubine once went to the palace to meet the queen mother, and saw a maid with a little princess in the imperial garden..." I hesitated for a while, it was hard to say this, I couldn't tell the emperor that all the maids were bullying your daughter Bar?Unexpectedly, I was still thinking about how to say this, and Lei Yi shouted excitedly: "I have never seen you, what nonsense are you talking..."

I was taken aback by his reaction, the emperor's face was full of frost: "Go on."

I bit my lip: "The maid seemed to be scolded because of the little princess, so there was some resentment in her words. I heard the guard Lei scolded the maid and told her to serve the princess well..."

The emperor looked at Lei Yi coldly, and said mockingly: "Lei Yi, you care about the little princess very much. The 'uncle guard' that the little princess is talking about is you, right?"

I was slightly taken aback, uncle guard?Lei Yi trembled all over, and the emperor said indifferently: "I'm really curious, why do you care so much about the little princess?"

Lei Yi gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor misunderstood, the princess is the master, and the sinner's concern for the princess is all because of his loyalty..."

"Lei Yi! Do you think I'm a fool? You dare to betray me and be disloyal to me, why should you be loyal to the little princess?" The emperor sneered, and said sharply, "Because you are loyal to her mother! It's Concubine De ! It's Wei Xiang!"

This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.Lei Yi's face was pale and his whole body trembled.From the moment when the emperor reprimanded him and asked him why he assassinated me, I already thought of him as Concubine De's man, but how did the emperor find him out?
"Back when Mrs. Ronghua was assassinated, the iron guards of the Yun family found out that the assassin was the inner guard of the palace. I didn't say anything, but I didn't want to startle the snake. I arranged for Wei Tongfeng to be the inner guard in order to let him secretly find out who the mastermind was. , I didn’t expect Wei Tongfeng to die unexpectedly just now with some clues.” The emperor slowly revealed the inside story that surprised me, “However, having some clues is enough. Concubine De was thrown into the cold palace, and I handed over the little princess to you. She was brought up by Concubine Shu but ignored, in order to attract the person who is loyal to the Wei family and her! Uncle guard? Hmph!"

Lei Yi was silent, his face was paper-like.But the more I heard it, the more frightened I became. It turned out that the reason why the emperor arranged Brother Wei to be a bodyguard in the palace was that he wanted him to secretly find out who ordered the bodyguards to assassinate me?There was a sudden pain in my heart, the big brother of the Wei family lost his life because of this incident.Looking up at the emperor, he didn't seem to recognize the person in front of him.Concubine De was thrown into the cold palace. At the request of Concubine Shu, he handed over the little princess to her to be raised, but never stepped into Concubine Shu's palace since then, in order to make Concubine Shu feel resentful towards the little princess. The little princess has a difficult life, and it will definitely lead to the hidden piles Wei Xiang cultivated in the palace.Thinking about it, when Concubine De tried to drown me, the emperor had already started to doubt her, otherwise how could he have arranged these plans so clearly?What shocked me the most was that in order to draw out this hidden stake, the emperor could actually use Concubine Shu, the little princess, and his wives, concubines and children. This kind of coldness made me fear for the first time.
