"Tell your majesty that Yue Pei has personally confessed that he was ordered by Xia Shoufu to murder the Duke of the town." the Secretary of Dali temple said positively.
Yue Pei confessed.
But the first mentioned messenger is not Xia Tingzhen
At present, the confession was somewhat true and somewhat false, which could not be clearer in the mind of Dali Temple secretary.
At this moment, he is only thinking about one thing in his heart - the coffin made in the coffin shop in Yangjiao Lane in the south of the city is the most conscience, and the paper bar should choose the gold lettered signboard old man Liu. When his father did the funeral in his early years, he once saw that the color matching and details are simple but not simple, and the simplicity does not lose the strict style. He likes it very much.
It's also a rare experience to be able to prepare your own afterlife.
Before that, he really didn't expect that the trial of this case would take so much life.
When the case is over, it's time for him to finish it.
The Dali Temple secretary, who was forced to know the secret, was desperate and calm.
When the paper confession was presented to the emperor, more than ten officials were shocked... They really confessed!
They all took this opportunity to trample on Xia Tingzhen for fear that his crime of poisoning the Duke of Zhenguo would not succeed and that there would be another turn for the better, so as to take the opportunity to cut off the possibility of his turning over with other crimes——
Now that the man who assassinated the Duke of the town has confessed, there is no need to worry about the rest.
It can also be seen that the emperor really has the idea of taking Xia Tingzhen to exchange arms with Zhenguo bus
It is estimated that the emperor also struggled, but the Duke of Zhenguo gave too much.
In this case, the case is doomed to have no room for turning around!
Emperor Qingming read the confession word by word, and his face sank inch by inch. When he opened his mouth, there was no lack of suppressed anger, disappointment and sadness——
"Tell me... Escort Xia Tingzhen to Dali temple for interrogation!"
"I will comply."
After the Dali Temple Secretary responded, he left, feeling that he was one step closer to lying in the coffin.
Several officials exchanged a silent look, but their hearts were settled.
As soon as Xia Tingzhen dies, the biggest cancer among civil servants can be gouged out. Although it will inevitably hurt some flesh and blood before it can be uprooted... But the sky above the court can always see a clear day.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Xia Shoufu mentioned by the minister has not been finished yet." the imperial Shi of the Ming Dynasty stood up again.
The officials looked at him.
Xia Tingzhen's accusation is right in front of him. What are the other things that are not painful or itchy at this time?
However, seeing the serious and serious look on the face of the imperial censor Zuo Du, people were suddenly surprised - Oh, there was a reason why he was bald in the court.
Although emperor Qingming didn't want to listen more, he had to listen patiently.
Until an inner supervisor of Yongfu palace came outside the imperial study.
"Your Majesty is discussing business with your lords." the supervisor whispered in the regiment's face guarding the corridor.
The other party glanced in the direction of the hall and was worried: "but my mother has something important to ask your majesty..."
The internal supervisor looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said, "wait, I'll ask Ji Gong."
This is the person in Ronggui imperial concubine's palace. Otherwise, he would never dare to find Duke Ji for this matter.
Li Ji came out, looked at the familiar little internal supervisor, and asked, "what's the matter with your imperial concubine?"
"...." the little internal supervisor explained the matter in a low voice.
Li Ji nodded slightly and turned back to the imperial library.
"What's the matter -" seeing Li Ji coming in from the outside, Emperor Qingming asked.
Li jisui came to the emperor's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's the palace people in Yongfu palace who came to deliver a message for the imperial concubine. It's said that it's the imperial concubine's mother. Mrs. Rong's wife is dying of a serious illness, so she sent people into the palace to ask for help. She just said that the old man wanted to see the imperial concubine before he left..."
In the final analysis, it is also because Rong Guifei is the most popular one now because her mother is expensive and her son is expensive. If she changed into an ordinary concubine, how dare she make such a request.
However, there are many concubines who have entered the palace. They can't go back to their mother's house until they die.
Emperor Qingming nodded his head after a little thought: "I'm sure."
Mrs. Rong has been ill for some time. He knows it.
The imperial concubine had never been out of the palace before. Since the Rong family was close to the city when she was dying, it was against human relations to refuse to see her.
Just——
"The little prince is still young. He is easy to catch the wind and cold in early autumn, so he doesn't have to go together." emperor Qingming confessed.
Li Ji answered "yes" and withdrew.
With permission, Princess Rong cleaned up a little and got on the carriage out of the palace.
When she was just out of the palace, she met several small eunuchs talking together. What she was talking about was Xia Shoufu.
They didn't know who Yue Pei was. They just said that "the man locked up in Dali Temple" confessed and offered Xia Shoufu
"It's only a few days..." in the carriage, Princess Rong's eyes repeated and her voice was low as if she said to herself: "this must have been torture and forced him to recruit... The emperor is in a hurry to exchange his life for military power!"
And since he has recruited, it will be useless. I'm afraid his life will soon be lost!
"Mother!"
Close Mammy's face was blue and white. She took a look at the direction of the car curtain. It was the waiter in the palace who drove the car. Gong E also sat on the yuan seat. Can't the empress close her mouth!
Besides——
"Madam, I'm leaving soon... Please wake up!"
My mother and I are dying. Why do you still think of men here?
If this is her daughter, I'm afraid she'll be angry if she's not ill!
"Mother..." Rong Guifei's eyes were slightly red and smiled bitterly: "yes, mother is leaving too..."
While talking, there was something decisive in his tears: "my father never took care of me. He forced me when he entered the palace, regardless of whether I was willing or not... If my mother left, there was nothing worth worrying about the life and death of the Rong family!"
The implication is that I can die without scruples!
Mammy opened her eyes in amazement:... That's not what she meant?
"Empress... You should be calm and calm now after your servant's advice. You still have a little prince, but you can't do anything stupid..." mammy held the hand of imperial concubine Rong and looked at the person in front of her, who faintly exuded some brilliance of a peerless crazy woman. She was really a little flustered.
Princess Rong smiled sadly.
She's calm.
She has thought a lot these days, and now she knows what she really wants.
[Reading cash] pay attention to VX official account and read cash!
At this time, there was a sudden riot outside the car.
A dense sound of horse hoofs passed through the crowd, and pedestrians in the street complained about dodging.
The waiter who drove the car slowed down to avoid collision.
Who is so rampant?
Mammy frowned, raised one side of the curtain and looked out.
