Shang Tianxiang and his son have been admiring Han Tianxiang's father and son's rebellion against Wang Wenshu. He really did not expect that these two people would go on this road of no return for the throne.
When I think about this, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, is really distressed.
In my heart, I just can't understand that if they don't go, they have to play tricks.
After King Han was defeated and captured by Xin Youxuan and the wise master Hong Yin, Emperor LiZong ordered them to be put into the prison of the Ministry of punishment.
As the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, this matter naturally belongs to the man Wen Tianxiang.
He wants to see Han Wang and his son, which is quite convenient.
Of course, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, knew all these things for the prime minister Jia Sidao.
He also knows that if he meets Han Wang and his son, he is likely to bring trouble to himself. But Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, felt that he was upright and upright, and there was nothing shameful about it.
On this day, after busy with the official business of the Ministry of punishment, he came to the prison where Han Wang and his son were held.
Now in this situation, Han Wang and his son feel that they can keep their lives. For them, it's already a blessing in misfortune.
Every time the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, comes with food and wine, they drink a lot.
The father and son are still very happy to see him coming.
After they sat down, Zhao Yong, the eldest son of Han Wang's family, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Han Wang and Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment.
The three raised their glasses and drank them all.
Han Wang put down his glass and said, "it's really good wine."
"It's a pity that after drinking today, I don't know if I can drink tomorrow?" He asked again.
After hearing this, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked, "why does the LORD have such worries?"
"Although the emperor has forgiven our father and son, there is no guarantee that someone in the court will not let us go." Han Wang replied.
"Father, there's nothing to be afraid of," he said
"The big deal is to die." He's here again.
With that, Zhao Yong poured a glass of wine for himself and the two of them.
He drank the wine from his glass first.
Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Han Wang saw him drink, so they took up the wine cup again and drank it.
Before the wine cup was put down, Han Wang and his son suddenly covered their chest and said: "pain, pain..."
"What's the matter?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, didn't know what was going on. He asked.
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the black blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
Han Wang pointed to the wine pot and said, "the wine is poisonous!"
"Wen Tianxiang, how dare you poison us Little prince Zhao Yong heard from his father that the wine in the wine pot was poisonous, and the wine was brought by the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang. He naturally thought that the poison was sent by the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
But this Zhao Yong small Wang Ye's hand grasped Wen Tianxiang adult's official uniform, powerless put down.
They both fell to the ground.
When the Minister of the Ministry of punishment called people in, Han Wang and his son had no breath.
When the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment came in and saw the situation at the scene, they didn't understand why it was like this. They all bowed their heads and couldn't say anything.
Such a situation has never occurred to the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
At this time, he was not in the mood to explain anything to those who came in.
When such an important thing happened, he had to enter the palace immediately and report it to Emperor LiZong.
When he got out of the gate of the Ministry of punishment and got on the sedan chair, he urged the sedan chair bearers to rush to the imperial palace.
After entering the Imperial Palace, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, heard that emperor LiZong was in the imperial study, so he came to the imperial study.
At the door of the imperial study was Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial interior.
When he saw the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, coming, he asked, "Mr. Wen, what can I do for you?"
"My Lord wants to see the emperor. Please go in and play for a while, Mr. Dong." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
After hearing this, the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, said, "Mr. Wen, please wait a moment."
Then he went in.
In a short time, the eunuch Dong songchen came out of the imperial study.
He said to Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, "Mr. Wen, please welcome the officials."
"Thank you, Mr. Dong." The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, arched his hand at him and said.
He went into the imperial study.
Looking up, I saw that Prime Minister Jia Sidao was also here.
The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, knelt down on the ground and said, "I have seen the emperor.""Get up, Wen Aiqing." Li Zong emperor road.
After he got up, he asked again, "Wen Aiqing, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"There is a very good and important thing to play for you." The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, replied.
Emperor LiZong asked, "what's the matter?"
Hearing emperor LiZong's question, he explained to him what had just happened in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.
"Han Wang and his son were poisoned?" Emperor LiZong asked in disbelief.
The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, replied, "yes, my Lord."
"My Lord, I want to play with one person." Standing on one side, Prime Minister Jia Sidao said.
Emperor LiZong asked, "Jia Aiqing, who are you going to play?"
"I want to play the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang." The prime minister replied.
Hearing this, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked, "Jia Xiang, why do you want to play a part in the song?"
"If we play you together, we will play you naturally." The prime minister replied.
Emperor LiZong said, "play it."
"When I began to play the role of emperor, I thought that the father and son of King Han were poisoned and died by Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
After answering this, he gave his reasons to Emperor LiZong.
In his opinion, the wine in the wine pot was brought by the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang himself. At that time, only the three of them were present in the cell, so the poison in the wine could only be dealt with by him.
The analysis made by Prime Minister Jia Sidao sounds reasonable.
"Wen Aiqing, do you have anything to explain about this matter?" Emperor LiZong asked Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, about the great humanity.
Minister Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, replied, "I'm really guilty."
"Lord, listen, Lord Wen will admit it." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
He added: "this murder is a serious crime. In the opinion of the old minister, he should be put into prison immediately. After the joint trial of the third division, he will be punished."
"My Lord, I am wronged!" Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
After hearing this, Emperor LiZong asked, "what's wrong with you?"
"The Lord, you have ordered the king Han and his son to be guilty and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. I have no reason to kill the king Han and his son." He added.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "Lord Wen, you are wrong."
"What's wrong with me The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.
The prime minister Jia Sidao replied, "you have ample reasons to harm the Han king and his son."
"Talk about it, Jia Xiang." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
According to Prime Minister Jia Sidao, when he was running for the crown prince candidate, he supported Zhao Yong, the eldest son of the Han family.
In order to achieve this goal, Han Wang and his son must have done a lot of secret business with Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment. In order not to expose them, Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, poisoned and killed people.
"At the beginning, Zhao Yong, the son of King Han, was absolutely out of public interest, not selfish." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
After hearing this, the prime minister Jia Sidao, with a smile, asked, "it's all this time. Don't you think it's a little ridiculous that you are still talking such big words?"
"It's all your inference." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "the poison liquor at the scene is the best evidence."
"You brought the wine, can't you deny that?" He asked again.
Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, replied, "the wine is indeed brought by the lower officials."
"But ..。” He added.
Just said a "can" word, Jia Sidao grabbed a way: "since you admit, then you don't have to sophistry."
"Well, I've decided." Li Zong emperor road.
He raised his voice again and called out, "come on!"
"Officer, what can I do for you?" The eunuch, Dong songchen, came in from outside and bowed to Emperor LiZong.
Emperor LiZong replied, "put Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, into the prison and send ten guards to guard in turn."
"I respect you The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
With that, he found ten guards from outside and escorted Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, to the prison.
Seeing his opponent and entering the prison again, Prime Minister Jia Sidao was very happy.
Looking at the Minister of punishment Wen Tianxiang left, I was very happy ..。
He bowed to Emperor LiZong and said, "holy, you are so holy."
"I'm flattered, Jia Aiqing." Li Zong emperor road.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked: "holy, if there is nothing else, then the old minister will leave."
"Go ahead." The emperor replied.Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, escorts Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment, into the prison. After arranging the guard of the Imperial Palace, he does not return to the Imperial Palace immediately. Instead, he goes to Ding Daquan's residence.
"You came later than I expected." The eunuch, Dong Dingchen, took his place in the mansion.
When Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, heard him say so, he asked, "do you know that the chief is coming?"
"Of course." Ding Daquan replied triumphantly.
Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said, "you are very powerful now. You are almost as good as the omniscient Mountain God in the mountain temple."
"After that, your father-in-law Dong will come to discuss things with me. If you don't discuss one thing, you'll have five hundred taels of silver." Ding Daquan said with a smile.
Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, of course knew that he was joking. He said, "if you are willing to accept it, let alone five hundred, it will be one thousand, and there is no problem."
"That would be wonderful." Ding Daquan.
Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, had precious time. After joking, he took a sip of tea and said, "a very important thing happened just now."
"Lin'an City just happened the Han Wang riot, what important things happened?" Ding Daquan asked.
After hearing his question, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, told Ding Daquan about the poisoning of Han Wang and his son.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with it." Ding Daquan.
Dong songchen said: "on the way to prison, the manager also pondered over this matter and thought it was a bit abnormal."
"It's just that I can't think of it for a moment. It's not normal there." He added.
Ding Daquan said: "although I have never been to the scene, I can judge that this matter is not judged by the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang."
"Why are you so sure?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.
Ding Daquan replied: "with my understanding of the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, he should not be like that."
"The crux of the matter is the pot of wine." He added.
The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said: "at that time, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, personally admitted that he had brought that pot of poisonous wine."
"Don't forget that the old thief Jia Sidao has a lot of talented people. It should not be a particularly difficult thing to turn a pot of wine into poison wine." Ding Daquan.
The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, asked, "do you mean that the prime minister Jia Sidao is setting up Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment?"
"These two people have always been enemies. Apart from him, there will be no other person in the court who has the ability and the idea to do this thing." Ding Daquan replied.
He added: "since you are here today, I will give you a suggestion."
"Go ahead, please." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
Ding Daquan felt that from the perspective of interests, he and Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, should not directly rescue Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment.
But if Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment, is not saved, there will be one less person in the court who can compete with Jia Sidao, the prime minister.
In this case, Ding Daquan suggested that the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, go to the queen Xie Daoqing and let her appear.
With empress Xie Daoqing's ability, he should think of someone who stands out for the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
"You're still good." After hearing this, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, gave a thumbs up and said.
He added: "let the queen Xie Daoqing come forward, not only can save Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment, but also won't let us have a conflict with the prime minister Jia Sidao."
"Of course." Ding Daquan's complacent way.
He added: "this is killing two birds with one stone."
"It shouldn't be too late. I'll go to the palace to see the queen Xie Daoqing." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.
Ding Daquan said: "this matter really needs to be fast and late. Jia Sidao, the prime minister, may have harmed Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment."
