After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 164 Patricide Case

Sikong Beichen was impeached.

After he was established as the prince, he naturally had ministers, and among the ministers there must be members of his mother's clan. The Yu Luan who committed the crime was the cousin of Queen Yu. It is said that the crime he committed was not big. Due to the reputation of the prince, he went to extort money from several merchants, and what he was asking for was supposed to be money.

Who knows, one of the merchants thought that instead of being blackmailed, it would be better to be courteous, so he selected a prostitute from thousands of people in a building on the bank of the Qinhuai River and arranged to become Yu Luan's "concubine". The so-called concubine is a concubine who is kept outside the house and brought into the house without a concubine acceptance letter. This Yu Luan's wife is not jealous, but his father is very lustful. Yu Luan is deeply afraid that the concubine will be taken advantage of by his father. It is for oneself, so it is placed outside.

I don’t know how it happened. Yu Luan heard that his concubine Hongxing was having an affair and was suspected of committing adultery. According to Dayu law, the adulterer was executed. And if the perpetrator caught the adulterer on the spot, there was no need to turn the adulterer to the government. He could be lynched. .

Yu Luan succeeded in catching the adulterer, but without taking care of his concubine, he stabbed the adulterer to death while covering his quilt with a sword.

Then, it was discovered that the deceased was his biological father.

Yu Luan was dumbfounded at that time.

In the court, a fierce collision between emotion and law took place. He and Zheng took the lead and put forward the view that whether the crime of adultery is established should be based on whether the marriage relationship can be recognized. A concubine is regarded as a runaway, which is a relationship that should not be recognized by the law. Therefore, Yu Luan's behavior is parricide. This is evil and treason and must be executed. Moreover, the prince's fault should be investigated, because in the final analysis, it is the prince who did not The discovery of Yu Luan's extortion behavior led to the crime of evil and rebellion.

The princeling could only argue that Yu Luan's behavior of taking in the concubine did not violate the law. Although the concubine did not issue a document, the secular world generally believed that as long as the concubine agreed to be taken in, she should keep her peace and not commit adultery. Yu Luan did not know The person who committed adultery with his concubine was the biological father, and there was absolutely no prejudgment. It was manslaughter. Although he should be punished, it should not involve the ten heinous crimes. Yu Luan should be punished, and the prince should not be implicated.

Sikong Beichen was very depressed.

Although he was also impeached in his previous life, it was not caused by such a major ethical case, let alone his mother's family, so he could just let it go. But this case... caused a lot of trouble in the city and could not be settled.

Yingshu was also surprised.

Regarding Yu Luan, he should have died five years later. The cause of his death was extremely ridiculous. He was drunk and crashed into the wall of his home. It is said that it was because he was convinced that he had the power to walk through walls and had to do it in public. Demonstration, it was useless for anyone to stop him, and then he hit himself to death.

After Yu Luan knocked himself to death, his father lived for three or four years. As for how Ying Shu died, he didn't know, but it certainly couldn't have been killed by Yu Luan's sword.

The one with the biggest headache was Sikong Tong. Because his head hurt the most, he couldn't bear to be irritable and roared angrily at Sikong Beichen: "You know clearly that the He and Zheng clans want to find excuses for you, and I have given you countless warnings, even if you want to Leave some clues for them, but you must be careful and cautious! Now there is such a big disturbance, the father and the son's concubine committed adultery, the son assassinated his biological father, and Yu Luan is your subordinate in the East Palace!!!"

"It should, it should be a frame-up..."

"How to frame me, how do you tell me how to frame me?" Sikong Tong was so angry that his face turned purple: "The scene of Yu Duo being caught and raped by Yu Luan is conclusive, right? He was indeed stabbed to death by Yu Luan's sword, right? You, you, you Yeah, the Yu family are all useless, and you can’t even control them!!!”

It was at this juncture that Lord Shenyuandian asked to see the emperor to express her determination.

This calmed Sikong Tong's anxious mood slightly. After thinking for a long time, he actually asked Ying Shu: "What does Emperor Xiu think about Yu Luan's case?"

Yingshu put forward her own opinion: "Although... it's scary to hear, after all, Yu Lingcheng is only an official of the East Palace, and the most wrong person in this matter is actually Lingcheng's father. There must be some black hands in this case, but , I feel like I really can’t go into it further.”

The black hand who was adding fuel to the flames must have known that Yu Luan had a beautiful concubine outside, and he must also have known that Yu Duo knew that his son Yu Luan had a beautiful concubine outside. The concubine secretly wore a green turban for her son when he was visiting her. The He and Zheng clans should not know about this.

But the mastermind behind the scenes has now revealed this news to He and Zheng. The mastermind does not need to plan the subsequent events. He and Zheng will naturally find ways to cause Yu Luan to kill his father. What is the point of pursuing it?

"Although the case involves ethics, it has little to do with His Highness the Crown Prince. Lord Shenyuan Palace gave in at this time and publicly expressed his willingness to fulfill the marriage between the Crown Prince and Lu Sanniang. I believe that the He and Zheng families will not press hard against each other. They must think they have achieved their goal.”

The emperor frowned: "But Yu Luan, after all, he killed his father. Even if it is excusable, if such a crime is forgiven lightly, won't it make the subjects question whether the king is king or minister is not minister, and father is not father and son is not son?"

The two words loyalty and filial piety are sometimes contradictory to each other, so there is a saying that loyalty comes before filial piety, but more often than not, loyalty and filial piety are inseparable, so the most complete negation of a person is unloyalty and unfilial piety. People in Dayu are good at judging people, and even the reputation will become the basis for becoming an official, which will have a huge impact on the official career. But if he gets an unfilial evaluation first, then this person will basically have no chance of becoming an official. This is because, Those who are unfilial must be unfaithful.

Yingshu understood why His Majesty clearly wanted to clear Sikong Beichen, but was worried that handling this matter too lightly would cause the theoretical pillars of loyalty and filial piety to be shaken. His Majesty threw the problem to her, but this time, Yingshu didn't want to take on this burden for the time being.

"An official in the East Palace has committed an incident. Why don't you let His Highness the Crown Prince handle it?"

Sikong Tong had a sullen face and was very dissatisfied with Ying Shu's attitude: "You are just a female official in Qianyang Palace. Of course I won't let you decide on such court matters. I just want to test you! Lord Penglai was in Qianyang Palace before. When she was in charge of historical affairs, she also gave a lot of good advice on both the personnel of the later court and the previous dynasty!"

The emperor did not hesitate to resort to provoking methods. He looked at Yingshu now no longer as before, perhaps because he had believed Du Chang's words. He was both reassured and anxious. What was reassuring was that at least Dayu did not die at the hands of the prince. But after all, he didn't know whether the relatively stable period that Du Chang said was just a flash in the pan, or even just a flashback to the great Yu Dynasty.

"Uncle suddenly asked me about such a difficult thing. I don't dare to answer hastily. Please allow me to think carefully before giving my opinion."

Huanshu didn't deliberately delay this time. She also sensed that His Majesty was more serious than before. The reason must be related to Du Chang, a reborn person. Judging from Du Chang's flattering attitude towards her and his obvious fear, he must have known about her "great achievements", and since Du Chang was eager to survive, he would not dare to deceive the emperor.

This answer must be carefully considered before responding.

But the daring middle-aged woman Shi still took the risk and dug a hole under Sikong Beichen's feet.

She knew Sikong Beichen very well.

It is true that Sikong Beichen did not look down on his own mother clan at all, but Yu Luan was his subordinate official in the East Palace. He was both a relative and a subordinate. Sikong Beichen must ensure that Yu Luan would not fall into the calculations of others. The reason why he suffered a setback or even died was not because Sikong Beichen was indiscriminate of right from wrong. On the battlefield of the Chu War, no one else would easily cut off his wings.

But Sikong Beichen cherishes his "reputation" very much. In order to save Yu Luan, he will definitely prove that Yu Luan was framed. This will undoubtedly intensify the conflict with the second and third princes, and the brothers will quarrel. The chaos of the Emperor's Wall is now inevitable, which will inevitably increase His Majesty's worries.

Yingshu's goal is to make Sikong Beichen lose points little by little in His Majesty's mind.

She just dug a hole, but Queen Yu was the one who tried hard to push her own son into the hole.

Before Empress Yu moved to push the person away, she first asked Chen Shanxian to question her. This time she did not "respect" Chen Shanxian as a reborn person at all, and almost ordered a handful of smashed walnuts to be scattered on the bamboo mat under Chen's knees. Ke, gasping for breath, said sternly: "Can't you predict the future? Such a big thing happened, why don't you give me a warning?!"

"I forgive you, I didn't know that this incident would happen. In my previous life, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also impeached, it had nothing to do with my relatives. Moreover, Your Highness would be impeached at this time. Even His Majesty was originally impeached. We are prepared, if this were not the case, Lord Shenyuan Palace would not take the initiative to give in."

"You mean, this case wouldn't have happened in the first place, but now it has?"

"My Majesty, it's true."

"All the changes were caused by Wang Yingshu, and it must be her this time!!!" Queen Yu gritted her teeth.

Chen Shanxian had no way of telling who was behind the scenes, but she believed it was not Ying Shu. The reason was very simple. Queen Yu was not Ying Shu's rival at all. Why would Ying Shu put the prince in a dilemma just to punish a mere Yu Luan? ? But she didn't intend to defend Yingshu. She was eagerly looking forward to the subsequent development of this case. Such a ridiculous and funny "father and son cannibalism" is truly unprecedented. The four words "father and son cannibalism" first came from Chen Shan Xian's mind flashed through her mind, but it seemed to leave two strong traces in her mind. She paused in her steps. After a long while, she stretched out her feet and asked the palace servants to put them on for her. Embroidered shoes.

It wasn't until she left the palace door that Chen Shanxian looked back. Nothing really fell into her eyes. She subconsciously quickened her pace, lifting and dropping it. It wasn't until a long time ago that her eyes seemed to be no longer so trance-like. The broad sky and the falling leaves came into view again. She took a long breath and raised her hand to touch her cheek. Just now, she even felt a constant shiver on her cheek, just like that life, the last moment on the hospital bed, I don't want to show my grief, but I really can't be at peace.

Changes have taken place, everything no longer follows the old trajectory, this is a new life, and what she is returning to is not the past.

So, she just needs to move forward firmly.

In the Hanguang Palace, nothing happened. Mrs. He didn't even bother to respond to Queen Yu's current mood. She had already begun to celebrate that the prince had lost his "left wing" - the Lord of Shenyuan Palace - such a wing that he had to fight for immediately for the second prince. The prince installed it.

Chen Shanxian knew that the Lord of Shenyuan Palace was a wing, but she herself was just an insignificant feather attached to the wing. The wind blew the rain and got wet. The feathers fell to the ground silently. When someone stepped on them, she fell into a trap. The burial place, if it hadn't been for this kick, I don't know where it would have been swept away.

She has to cling firmly to a certain wing in order to soar to the sky.
