Chapter 177 Suicide in fear of sin
The emperor's face is gloomy. Although the matter of Ding Haolang is not difficult, the emperor is still somewhat hesitant. The Ding family can no longer stay. The emperor knows how many things the Ding family has done behind their backs for so many years. So far it is just understandable.

"Come here, pass on Ding Haolang, and I will interrogate him myself."

Ding Haolang was brought to the emperor's Chongyun Palace wearing a criminal uniform. Seeing the emperor sitting on the high seat trembling with resentment in his heart, he was pushed hard by Xiao Fuzi behind him and staggered to his knees.

"Bold, don't kneel down when you see the emperor."

"You guys go down, I will interrogate myself."

"Your majesty, the servants are waiting outside." This sentence also hinted that Ding Haolang would not do something to humiliate himself, although there were only him and the emperor in the room, there were still people guarding the outside.

Ding Haolang raised his shackled hands and wiped the beard at the corner of his mouth. Although he is in prison now, he still acts calmly and without panic as before.

"Now that you have come to this stage, you still don't change your face." The emperor looked at Ding Haolang's actions and said with contempt in his eyes.

"The emperor wants to kill or cut to pieces, so why bother to meet again."

"Some things are not ruthless, and I won't bear the reputation of treachery. Over the years, everything you have done is thought to be well hidden, but I turned a blind eye to it. You Do you really think I don’t know?”

"Since the emperor is clear, why ask again, I have nothing to do to the emperor if I ask myself."

"Ding Haolang, you are so courageous. You didn't do anything to offend me? I installed a concubine in my harem, and kept close contacts with Dongqi in private. For so many years, border disputes have continued. How dare you say that you were not in the way? ?”

Ding Haolang was speechless when asked, if he said that these things had nothing to do with him, he really couldn't say it.Seeing his reaction, the emperor couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"You think you hide everything well, what do you want to do with the fifth prince in private? Back then, the mother and concubine of the fifth prince was the eyeliner of the person you planted in the palace to monitor me. How could I not know?"

"The emperor. That's why she died, isn't it?"

"If you regret it, why bother to make such a choice."

The emperor's words were expressive and implied, causing ripples in Ding Haolang's heart.It is true that the fifth prince's biological mother was someone he placed, if she hadn't been arranged to enter the palace, she would not have passed away, and in the end it was himself who killed her.

"I can't tolerate you and it's not just this one thing. It's easy to want you to die, but I want you to die clearly. Do you think I can't do anything to you if you refuse to plead guilty? If you plead guilty, I can guarantee you Your Ding clan's blood can guarantee Ding Ling's life, so you don't care about others, even your own daughter's life?"

The mention of Ding Ling's name made Ding Haolang feel guilty. It's not that he doesn't love her, but she is only a daughter after all, so she doesn't consider her feelings in many things.Not only that, the person I am most sorry for is Ding Ling's mother, and now Ding Haolang can see clearly that the emperor's intentions could not be more obvious, no matter whether he pleads guilty or not, there is always a way to make himself bear these charges.

"The emperor is now thinking about the old love."

After all, the two have been friends for so many years, even if the emperor wants to get rid of him, there is always some friendship.Back then Ding Haolang was just a civil servant as he is now, but he helped him ascend to the throne.It is also because of this that he has many doubts and precautions towards Ding Haolang. He thought that after he ascended the throne, he would be able to be content with giving Ding Haolang enough honor. Raising the position without being too high is both suppression and defense.

How could Ding Haolang not understand, so he was dissatisfied and unconvinced, so he came to this point step by step. On the surface, it is still the same as before, but in his heart, something that should not be moved has long been moved. thought.

Ding Haolang was obviously displeased with Ding Haolang's cynicism and ridicule of the emperor. Ding Haolang also knew that time was running out, so he stopped pretending to be obedient. It's just that the present is not the same as the past, and the past cannot be recalled.

"I have treated you well for so many years because you are greedy and have fallen into this situation today. If you knew how to measure, I would not be like this. This is the end of the story. You can think for yourself. I will not give you too much time. After three days Give me an answer."

After speaking, the emperor didn't wait for his reaction, and directly asked someone to take Ding Haolang down, Ding Haolang paused before leaving, but he still gave the emperor a big gift before leaving with Xiao Fuzi.

The next day, news came from the prison that Ding Haolang had repented of his various crimes in prison, and finally left a certificate of guilt and committed suicide in prison.When the news reached the emperor, the emperor was reading the memorial, his eyes turned red when he heard the news, and he said after a while: "Since he has pleaded guilty, return the corpse to the family. All adult men of the Ding family will be beheaded. All of them will be exiled to Jizhou, and all women will not be enslaved."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what about Princess Kangjia?" Since the Emperor wants to return the body to the family, there is only Princess Kangjia left in the family, and both men and women of the Ding family will be punished accordingly. What about the daughter of this family? Unsure, he carefully asked the emperor for his opinion.

"Seal the Ding Mansion, let her live in another small house in the city. As for Kang Jia's title." The emperor pondered for a moment before continuing: "Keep it, so that she can remember the royal grace."

When the prince ordered someone to transport Ding Haolang's body to Ding's mansion, Kang Jia had already criticized him, who was kneeling at the gate of the mansion and crying, unable to help himself. Undoubtedly, there was also Prince Jingshuo. Clean, too late to hide.

"Oh, my princess, what are you doing? The emperor told you not to cry."

"I, Ding Ling, will always remember the emperor's kindness in my heart, and please tell the emperor that Ding Ling is from the Ding family. From now on, I will no longer be a princess."

"Princess, please be careful. The words of the princess did not hurt the emperor's heart. Although the emperor accepted the Ding Mansion, he agreed to let the princess take care of the funeral before moving out, and the emperor also arranged a new house. The son is for the princess to live in, the princess is now like this, and the emperor will be sad if he knows."

The prince publicly persuaded Princess Kangjia not to say too much. Although he was sad in his heart, there are some things that must not be said.

Looking at Prince Jingshuo at the side again, he understood in his heart that the relationship between the two must be like that, so he said to Prince Jingshuo: "Please also persuade the princess to arrange Ding Haolang's funeral quickly, and everyone The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the living will continue, right?"

Although Wang Gonggong's words are somewhat unsatisfactory, they are true. The most useless thing in this palace is friendship, and what is important is to be cautious in words and deeds.
