Chapter 44: Unworthy of the Three Words of “Loyalty and Righteousness”
Convicted?
This sentence completely confused Xiahou Wenyuan.
Moreover, he could never have dreamed that Emperor Dewu would be so angry at this moment.
He glanced at Liu Sanquan who was standing next to him, but Liu Sanquan turned his head away with an expression that said, "Don't look at me, I don't know, don't look for me," which made him very angry.
No, the emperor summoned him to the palace to promote him and grant him grace, didn't he? Why did he get hit like this as soon as he opened his mouth after entering the palace?
Wow, that's not the script.
He ignored the severe pain in his head and the tea stains, and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am terrified. I don't know."
He took a quick glance and saw the bright red spots on the carpet, then he realized that the blow from Emperor Dewu had broken his forehead and it was bleeding.
Mixed with the blood, there were also broken pieces of teacups and tea dregs on the floor. I realized that what the emperor had thrown was the azure Ru kiln teacup on the desk. No wonder it hurt so much.
"Humph! I don't know!"
Emperor Dewu snorted coldly, "I ask you, was it you who reported the Yun family's rebellion to me?"
"Yes, I am. I care about the safety of Daliang, and I will sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice..."
Xiahou Wenyuan kept telling how he sacrificed his own family for the greater good, how he even gave up his beloved wife, etc. He was so moved that his tears and snot flew.
When Emperor Dewu heard this, he sighed. There really were such shameless people in the world. He felt really sorry for the Yun family.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been fooled by the things in the box that I dug out. Er... It seemed like I was really fooled. Thinking of this, Emperor Dewu was furious.
"Alright, alright, Marquis Zhongyi, you said that the evidence of Yun's rebellion is buried under the laurel tree in the Taifu Mansion, right?"
"Back to the emperor, yes."
Xiahou Wenyuan deserved it with absolute certainty, because he had written, put, and buried those things himself.
He had already made this move, just waiting for the right opportunity.
As soon as Yun entered the Marquis's Mansion, he doted on her alone in front of everyone, loving her deeply and successfully established the persona of a man who doted on his wife.
Yun was very happy and really thought she had found her true love.
In the study, while enjoying the company of his beautiful wife, he praised Yun's handwriting with his eyes full of stars, and praised Yun's calligraphy as the best in the world.
As it was natural, he pestered Yun like a sticky candy and asked him to teach him how to practice calligraphy.
Yun's calligraphy was naturally elegant and graceful. Later, Taifu Yun paid a large sum of money to hire a great calligrapher to give her personal instruction. After a few years, her calligraphy was praised by even her teacher, and was ranked the best among all the women in the capital.
It's just that she was kept in seclusion, and her calligraphy rarely left the Taifu Mansion, so people in the capital didn't know about it.
She had no idea of the dirty thoughts in her husband's mind, so she taught him her calligraphy without reservation.
He practiced day and night, and finally, he imitated Yun's handwriting so well that it was hard to tell the real thing from the fake. Even if Yun came, he might not be able to tell the real thing from the fake after a while.
Once when he returned home, he deliberately avoided everyone and buried the deadly thing under the osmanthus tree outside the window of Yun's boudoir in Taifu's Mansion, waiting for a good opportunity to exert the greatest effect.
He is like a very patient cheetah, patiently waiting for the best opportunity.
If it weren't for this time, when Yun used some tricks to force his beloved Lu Meimei to return the dowry, causing him to suffer heavy losses, his concubine's son Zi'an was in the limelight and was the chosen one for the future top three honors in the imperial examinations. He urgently needed this son to return to his ancestral home and bring honor to the family. He didn't want to activate this powerful weapon too early.
"Bullshit." Emperor Dewu was so angry that he cursed.
"I thought you were the descendant of a meritorious official, but I never thought you would be so bold as to frame our important officials, such as Yun Taifu and Yun Xianxi.
The Yun family is loyal to the Daliang court and has never had any intention of rebellion. Yet you, you deliberately framed me and made Daliang destroy itself. How sinister!
You lied to me, you deceived the emperor and framed important officials..."
The more Xiahou Wenyuan listened, the more confused he became. The things in the box could clearly destroy the Yun family, so how did he become a loyal minister of the Yun family? Moreover, deceiving the emperor and framing someone, what the hell was this?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, your minister, am wronged! I would never dare to lie to Your Majesty. Your loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all. I really discovered that Yun was disloyal, so I killed my own relatives for the sake of justice."
"Killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice? I'll kill you!"
All the blame fell on Xiao Funu. Emperor Dewu was so angry that he grabbed the paperweight, pen holder, etc. on the desk and threw them at Xiahou Wenyuan.
That paperweight was more than twice as heavy as the teacup. But since it was thrown by the emperor, he dared not dodge (at least not too obviously), so when the paperweight flew in front of him, Xiahou Wenyuan instinctively tilted his head slightly.
Because of this deviation, the paperweight didn't hit him on the forehead, but flew straight past his ear, leaving a bloody line on his ear.
"Squeak!" It hurts.
"How dare you! Well, you won't give up, right? Look, these are the so-called ironclad evidence of the Yun family's treason that you accused."
Emperor Dewu winked at Li Deshun beside him, and Li Deshun hurriedly threw a few pieces of paper to Xiahou Wenyuan.
"Lord Xiahou, these are the 'evidence' that we have dug up."
Xiahou Wenyuan endured the severe pain in his ears and picked up a few pieces of paper on the ground. He saw the elegant handwriting on the slightly yellowed paper, and every word was different from what he had put in.
His forehead began to sweat, especially when he saw the last few sentences, in which Yun wished to pray for peace and prosperity for the country of Daliang, and was willing to sacrifice ten years of his life. His head went blank.
It’s over, it’s over. When did this get switched?
He clearly wrote at that time, is...
But even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to say these words to Emperor Dewu openly, as he would really be beheaded for doing so!
He had no choice but to swallow his anger. Even if he got internal injuries, he had to hold it in and not utter a single word.
"Take a good look at this. This is what you call treason."
Emperor Dewu seemed to be smiling. He was now very interested in watching how this scumbag would continue his trick.
Xiahou Wenyuan only felt that his fingers were shaking uncontrollably, beads of sweat were pouring down his forehead, and his body was already sweating profusely.
"Your Majesty, I, I, I don't know. What I saw at that time was indeed placed by Yun himself. Those words of treason were indeed put there."
"Oh, really, Marquis Zhongyi, if you saw those treasonous words at that time, why didn't you report it then, but waited until today to report it?"
Uh……
Xiahou Wenyuan was speechless, he really couldn't continue to make up a story.
"You knew that someone had rebellious intentions, but you did not report it in time. This is disloyalty. You framed your wife and her family behind their backs, which is unrighteousness. You are neither loyal nor righteous. You are really unworthy of the three words "Loyalty and Righteousness".
"Ah! Your Majesty, please listen to my excuse. Oh, no, please listen to me..."
