After rebirth, I made the princes cry

The Zheng family in Changping had two prime ministers and one Taiwei during the Daji Dynasty. When the Xiahou family came to power in the Luo Dynasty, Jiuhua Gong, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Changping, angrily denounced the Xiahou family as usurpers of the country and ordered the clan to The middle children were not allowed to join the officialdom. Later, the Sikong family overthrew the Xiahou regime, and Changping Zheng Xian was very powerful. This family was very prominent in Dayu. Although it was also involved in the subsequent nine kings' struggle for the throne, its popularity was slightly reduced, but its deep foundation remained. Unswayed, Sikong Tong conferred the title of Yanghe Gong, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, and was of great use to many Zheng clan members.

Since ancient times, there have been few kings who have managed the world to prosperity on their own. What's more, in times of great strife and chaos, even the soldiers and generals who protect the country and all the royal guards are far from enough. They must rely on the protection of the powerful families. To be fair, Come on, the non-commissioned officers from Changping Zheng are indeed much more capable than people like Jiang Donghe. The royal family should treat Changping Zheng with courtesy.

Therefore, Sikong Tong was angry at the prince's recklessness.

But since the prince had proposed a thorough investigation, he could not hide the matter. Sikong Tong could only order Zhong Changshi: "Go to the Duke Yanghe's mansion, talk to the Duke Yanghe, and invite Zhang." Come to Qianyang Palace."

In this case, Mrs. Zheng also heard the news. She knew that Queen Yu was plundering the battle array for the prince in Qianyang Palace, so she was not in a hurry to come to the ring. She did not sit down until the people who were dispatched reported that Zhang Yin had been invited to Taicheng. He walked to the Qianyang Palace in a chariot, bowed politely and sat down, as if he had turned a deaf ear to Queen Yu's stupid cynicism, and only listened to Zhang Yin's response.

Zhang Yinran denied that he knew Zhao.

"You haven't met Mrs. Zhao yet, how come you don't know that bitch?" Queen Yu said angrily: "In front of His Majesty, you dare to lie and commit another major crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, the common people have been thinking about how to dedicate themselves to the country since the beginning of Jiankang. Although it cannot be said that they have never met the woman before, how can they be regarded as acquaintances if they meet her once or several times? Therefore, the common people do not need to see the woman to be sure that they do not know her."

"If you hadn't had a private meeting with the Zhao family, how could Ding Yong of the Yu family have asked the painter to draw your appearance based on dictation?" Queen Yu asked.

Zhang Yin was calm and calm: "The common people don't know the reason, but the common people have never had a private meeting with any woman."

The third prince was originally very calm, but when he saw his mother-in-law also entered the ring, he became more and more fearless: "Her Highness the Queen's question is too ridiculous. In order to exonerate his Dong Palace Prime Minister, the eldest brother must Even if I risk my life, I still worry about not being able to find a guest who is staying in Yanghe Palace and draw a portrait in his likeness? I would like to ask my eldest brother. My eldest brother said that it was Ding Yong of Yuluan who witnessed Zhang Yin and the Zhao family with his own eyes. It's a private meeting, so what does Zhao say? Has she admitted to having an affair with Zhang Yin?"

"Third brother is very sure that Mr. Zhao will not confess truthfully."

"I just questioned it, but my intention was distorted by the eldest brother. But the eldest brother also admitted it. Even Zhao didn't admit that she knew Zhang Yin. Then the so-called evidence of the eldest brother was simply one-sided. Yu Luan is also the eldest brother. My uncle, he committed the grave crime of patricide. It’s not that I can’t understand my eldest brother’s eagerness to save him from the crime, but my eldest brother insists on framing me for treason and asking me to die as Yu Luan’s substitute. This... I’m really sad. Ah, in terms of blood relationship, wouldn’t it be better for my eldest brother and me to be closer to Yu Luan?”

Yingshu lowered her eyes steadily and looked at her neatly stacked palms, but she could clearly hear Queen Yu's breathing sound. She counted silently, and within three, there was indeed a sound in her ears. There was a loud thunder.

"The bitch Mrs. Zhao must have bribed your mother and son. Of course she refuses to plead guilty! You, mother and son, have long been disobedient. It was you who wanted to put me and the prince to death first. Oh, at this time, you actually You still have the nerve to talk about blood ties!"

Mrs. Zheng was directly called by name, and finally she was no longer silent: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is weak and faint, and has deep prejudices against me and Sanlang. It is not surprising that she has such confused thoughts. What about Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Do you think so too? Are Sanlang, I, and the entire Changping Zheng family guilty of treason?"

"I just judge based on the evidence..."

"Evidence? Prince, don't blame me for being rude." Mrs. Zheng chuckled twice: "Now that I hear it, I really don't know what evidence the prince has."

Mrs. Zheng faced Sikong Tong, and there was no grievance in her eyes. She had a pair of calm eyes, and her joys and sorrows were in the depths of peace. She almost never used to be coquettish and seductive, and she was indifferent but not cold, but she was never a person who had nothing to do with the world. She doesn't hide it, she really thinks she should fight.

"Yu Luan asked for bribes from merchants, and merchants offered concubines to Yu Luan. In order to prevent Yu Duo, Yu Luan placed the Zhao family in an outhouse. The prince and the queen accused me of bribing the Zhao family. Either I bribed the merchants who offered the concubines first, or later The Zhao family was directly bribed, but it is absolutely impossible for me to bribe Yu Duo and his son. Your Majesty, my analysis should be correct, right?"

Sikong Tong nodded.

"Okay, if I bribed the Zhao family and planned this conspiracy, then I would really be able to predict things like a god, because I must have expected that Yu Duo would be fascinated by Zhao's beauty and knew that she was Yu Luan's concubine. I even expected that Yu Luan would kill Yu Duo on the spot regardless of the situation. I am such a good at predicting things, why did I need two people, Zhao and Zhang Yin? Why don't you let the prince verify the so-called evidence?"

Queen Yu was surrounded by Mrs. Zheng's excuses, but the prince remained awake: "Madam, there is no chance to silence the Zhao family. As for Zhang Yin, even if he is silenced, it will not erase the fact that he is staying in the Yanghe Palace." .”

"Am I so convinced that the Zhao family will keep secrets?" Mrs. Zheng chuckled: "Who are Yu Duo and his son? If there hadn't been a queen in the family and became a relative of Dayu, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even gain a foothold in Jiangdong now. , is such a person worth taking such a big risk to 'frame' me? The queen and the prince just said that I have rebellious intentions, so I don't understand. If Yu Luan commits a crime, even if he is punished by death, he cannot escape. But we cannot implicate the prince just because of this family scandal. Those officials who impeached the prince are just trying to cover up the prince because he has not dealt with Yu Luan for a long time. As long as the prince handles this case fairly, there will be no harm to the prince. Injury? I took such a big risk and did not hesitate to implicate Sanlang and his father's family, just to force the prince to kill his relatives out of justice?"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zheng admitted it herself. She just wanted to force the prince! Yu Luan is the prince's eldest son and an official of the East Palace. How could the prince deal with Yu Luan!"

"What the Queen said is getting more and more ridiculous." Mrs. Zheng sneered: "Yu Luan committed the crime of patricide, which is extremely heinous. Is it because he is an official of the East Palace and the prince's elder, so the prince should protect him?"

"Father, please allow me to punish Zhang Yin, otherwise the case cannot be decided clearly." Sikong Beichen realized that even if Queen Yu had ten more mouths, she would not be able to defend Mrs. Zheng. Now he could only hope to find Zhang Yin. Breakthrough.

"Father, there are many unjust cases caused by torture and interrogation. The eldest brother can't produce any real evidence at all. He clearly wants to beat Zhang Yinqu into a trick!" The third prince was not to be outdone.

"Xing Zhang Yin, even if Zhang Yin changes his story, it is not much evidence." Mrs. Zheng glanced at the prince: "Even if Zhang Yin is staying in the Yanghe Palace, there is a possibility that he was bribed by the prince and deliberately acted out It’s a cruel drama, blaming me, Sanlang, and the Zheng family of Changping. Your Majesty clearly knows that the prince shielded his father’s murderer and took the opportunity to frame his brothers. This crime is comparable to Yu Duo’s neglect of human relations and Yu Luan’s disobedience and unfilial piety. He is unfaithful, unfilial, and disloyal. My heart is clear, how can I be the crown prince of Great Yu again..."

"Shut up!" Sikong Tong shouted.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was Queen Yu's lifeless cough.

"Zhang Yin."

"The grass people are here."

"I'm asking you again, do you know Mrs. Zhao?"

"Your Majesty, the common people do not recognize the Zhao family, and the common people are not afraid of being punished. The common people are willing to be punished to prove their innocence."

"Dalang and Sanlang stay, let me leave the rest of you." Sikong Tong was already very angry.

Mrs. Zheng bowed out without saying a word, but Queen Yu was very unwilling to do so. The emperor looked at her coldly: "If you even plan to take away the fig leaf of the Yu family, just stop making trouble again."

Jiang Shangyi quickly stepped forward to help the queen up and almost dragged Queen Yu out.

Naturally, she could not avoid being angered by Queen Yu, but Jiang Shangyi persuaded the queen with just one sentence.

She said: "Your Majesty clearly wanted to pardon Yu Lingcheng. Her Majesty the Queen was so angry that she did not understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Did Yu Luan survive? The queen was dubious.

"You two treacherous sons, please kneel down!" Sikong Tong was furious at this time. He paced in the hall with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but want to give his two sons a hearty kick, but the rest of his eyes could not help but Guang glanced at Yingshu, but he finally endured it. He stood in front of his kneeling sons and said, "Dixiu, please tell me again your suggestions on how this case should be handled."

Yingshu:......

It was hard for her not to laugh, but Uncle used her to draw hatred again, but that's all, the Queen and Mrs. Zheng became her great helpers one after another, so let's teach her son a lesson for them.

The prince and the third prince first heard a very clear "obey the order".

Because the emperor was standing in front of them, he did not dare to look at Yingshu's expression and listen to her crisp words.

"There are indeed a lot of strange things about this case, but His Highness the Crown Prince cannot get into it. The reason is very simple, because even if it is found that Zhao Shi deliberately caused this case, Zhao Shi must have known that he would not escape death, and His Highness can't get rid of her at all. She asked for the truth, and even if Zhao confessed, in the final analysis, she took advantage of the early resentment between Yu Gong and Yu Lingcheng and his son.

This is how things are in the world. In the eyes of the world, Zhao is a promiscuous woman who came from a brothel. They will not be surprised that she committed such a crime. They will only talk endlessly about the scandal caused by the descendants. The father is not the father and the son is not the son. This is why outsiders have the opportunity to Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince should be aware that even if Yu Lingcheng's crime of killing his father was considered manslaughter, he was disobedient and unfilial by harboring resentment towards his father because he was serving a concubine.

It is not that His Highness cannot seek forgiveness for Yu Lingcheng, but it is not an isolated case that he has to consider such a thing. I once read the state and county case records. One case occurred in Chang'an. There was a wealthy businessman in Chang'an who was fascinated by a talent and appearance. He redeemed his body and bought her as a concubine. How did he know that his uncle fell in love with the concubine? The concubine was also taken forcibly. The rich man was furious and stabbed his uncle to death. Shen argued that his uncle ignored human ethics and etiquette, and he was not guilty of murder.

However, the governor of Chang'an concluded that the concubine was not his wife, but just a slave. If his elders asked for it, his nephews should serve her filial piety, so he executed the rich man anyway. "

Sikong Beichen frowned.
