Records of the King of Xin'an County

Until this moment, the group of officials realized that An Ansheng's last dozen or so days had become a fantasy.In fact, they should have expected that this day would come sooner or later—after all, whether it was the rebellion case of King Peng at the beginning of the year or the rebellion of the Yang family in the middle of the year, Princess Anxing could be vaguely seen behind it.

In the case of King Peng, she was an accomplice, and the scene that she sang with King Peng and put Yue Wang Li Heng to death is still vivid in my mind.Even though she was eloquent and kept confessing to her accomplices to prove her "innocence" in order to gain forgiveness from the sage, her unruly heart never went out.Otherwise, why didn't she confess a little more, and confess all these people at the very beginning?

And in the case of the Yang family, she was also one of the reliance of the Yang family to grow up to this day.Duke Huai passed away early, and Concubine Yang focused on worshiping the Buddha. Without her secret help, how could Yang Shijing win over many forces?Moreover, Concubine Yang Xian and Yang Jieyu are her cousins, the former was taken care of by her when she first entered the East Palace, and the latter was also recommended by her to enter the palace.If it was said that she had no knowledge of what these two Yang daughters were doing in the palace, who would believe it?

No matter how insensitive and nimble a person is, one only needs to look at Cheng Yuma's accusations against her to know what she has committed.

"Spying on the court" means that she planted an eyeliner in the palace to send her news secretly.The behavior of the saint and His Royal Highness are all in her dark eyes, which is simply a big disgrace!If it wasn't for evil intentions, why did he secretly spy on the Tai Chi Palace?If it is connected with the phrase "murder the emperor's heir", it will be even more frightening to think carefully.Could it be that the two serving maids beside Concubine Yang Xian and Yang Jieyu are actually her secret tricks?Under her order, murder the third prince, and then blame the Yang sisters?

Although no one knew when Princess Anxing became enmity with the Yang family, so that it was clearly her mother's family, but she hated it to death.But this does not prevent everyone from speculating: Could it be caused by a dispute of interests?After all, Princess Anxing has been seriously injured after the case of King Peng.But the Yang family ignored her at first, and later Yang Jieyu gave birth to the fourth prince, which became even more popular day by day.It cannot be said that Princess Anxing once asked Yang Shijing for help, but was rejected by this cunning uncle, so resentment arose.

Of course, guesses are nothing more than reasonable inferences.After the joint trial of the three divisions, the facts are likely to be more exciting than guesses - even more unbelievable! !

In addition, the terms "raising soldiers" and "privately storing armor" are almost identical to those used in the case of the Yue Palace.Could it be something else?For example, the armor of soldiers raised by King Peng back then, Princess Anxing hid it privately, and took his power for her own use?

For a while, even the ministers couldn't guess, what's the use of a princess raising soldiers' armor.But this does not prevent it from being inferred that she really has treasonous intentions.Maybe she was trying to gain power for herself?Emulate Empress Lu?Or maybe she was doing it for her own children?Regardless of whether she can bear children or not, it is always true that being a mother is strong.Moreover, judging from the fact that she has never been a guest in the curtain, it is unknown when she gave birth to a child in private?

All in all, if a woman raises troops to rebel, can she still ascend to the throne by herself?Even if she does have such ambitions, the ministers will never agree easily!

However, if it is combined with the words "collude with rebels" and "conspiracy to commit crimes", her purpose will be obvious.She raises soldiers, and the one who can't say anything is that "rebel". The "rebel" promised her greater benefits, so she would rather rebel and get rid of her brother, and help the "rebel" ascend the throne!As for the benefits, wouldn't a queen who holds great power or a queen who listens to politics behind the curtain in the future be more beautiful than a princess who cannot easily interfere in government affairs?

In just a moment, the officials in the Taiji Hall completed all the causes and consequences based on Cheng Qing's notes.They actually didn't know the real temperament of Princess Anxing, they just heard the rumors about her.Therefore, they didn't know that it was completely futile to infer the behavior of Princess Anxing according to common sense.

If Li Hui and Wang Zixian could tell what they were thinking from their unpredictable expressions, they would probably just laugh helplessly.Because they had also discussed in the secret room countless times the reasons for Princess Anxing's actions.But after thinking about it, I always feel that these reasons are extremely inconsistent.

In the end, Cheng Qing's words woke them up completely: she was already crazy, and what she did was not entirely for "profit".Or, her interests are quite different from what they think "interests" are.Therefore, it is useless to guess again, as long as her charges are confirmed.

At least, what they can conclude now is: so far, Princess Anxing's only goal is to get rid of all her brothers and "revenge" Duke Huai.Then, take away everything she thinks Duke Huai deserves—even if it cannot be kept in her hands, it must not be left to any brothers or nephews or nieces.Or, she will have other plans in the future, but it is difficult to deduce right now.

"Your Majesty, this case is a follow-up to the case of Prince Peng and the case of the Yang family. I kindly request that the third division be tried." The minister of Dali Temple had already had enough of Princess Anxing's frequent confessions, and dragged the case of King Peng. After a whole year of action, it is naturally impossible to let go of such a good opportunity and immediately fight for it.

However, Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County standing opposite him, came out in no hurry: "Saint, Princess Anxing is the emperor's daughter, and should be under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Temple. Even if she committed a treason case, she should also follow The cases of King Yue and King Peng were tried by Zongzheng Temple and a highly respected prime minister." After all these years of secret planning, after countless twists and turns, it was hard to come to this day, how could he miss the opportunity to hear the case? ?Moreover, overturning the case for the Yue Palace is also done in one fell swoop, there must be no mistakes or omissions!

The Minister of Dali Temple raised his head, glanced at him, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Jing has said that he has been ill for a long time, and he has not recovered yet. How can he preside over this case?" The implication is that the King of Xin'an is too young. Not enough to deal with such an important case.Only by inviting King Jing out can Zongzheng Temple be qualified to take over the case.Otherwise, the prestige of King Xin'an cannot convince the public.

"Granduncle only needs to try the case, and I can do all the laborious things such as the investigation." Li Hui refused to give in at all, and his expression was extremely firm, "Since the dynasty, there has never been a royal relative who has been convicted by the third division. Since Zongzheng Temple has the ability to handle this case, there is no need to bother the third division to set a precedent."

The Minister of Dali Temple waited to speak again, but the saint thought for a moment and said, "Xuan Qi, you are in charge of investigating the case for now. If you have any doubts, you can consult Xu Aiqing (Jian Guogong Xu Ye). As for uncle, I will send another Fengyu went to see him to see if he has the energy to deal with this case recently. You can also use the staff of the third department at will. It is almost the end of the year, and they don't have any serious cases to investigate."

"My son complies with the order!" In an instant, the eyes of the Prince of Xin'an became brighter, full of energy, and even more handsome.Such a heroic young man is in stark contrast to the Dali Siqing who has become somewhat depressed in an instant.

All the ministers watching couldn't help but said in their hearts: These uncles and nephews really have the same temperament!The sage was eccentric and didn't know where he had gone, he simply treated his nephew as his own son!The Prince of Xin'an County is in charge of investigating the case, and Jian Guogong is only assisting in the trial, so it is difficult to easily interfere with the trial of the case.As for whether King Jing can recover from his illness, it may depend on the will of the sage.Now who in the court doesn't know that King Jing is no longer trusted by the sages, so he simply followed the example of Wu Guogong and Qin An to rest from his illness and never ask about political affairs again?

From the beginning to the end, Cheng Yuma, who threw the huge boulder and caused the huge waves, remained silent.Under the interlaced gazes of the ministers, he straightened his back and knelt on the ground, as if he didn't care who the judge was, nor did he care about the ups and downs he was about to face next, and he didn't care whether he had completely undressed today. Put on the mask of "playboy".

After realizing their previous narrow vision, many courtiers felt quite complicated.However, they also understood that even if Cheng Qing and Duke Liang's government sued Princess Anxing first, the fact that he was a son-in-law could not be changed.After the case was over, it was impossible for the Cheng family to have a happy ending.But in any case, it is better than being involved and ruining the family.

Xu Shi has been waiting for too long, and the speed of Xin'an County King's action is as fast as thunder.As soon as the great dynasty was over, he placed his son-in-law Cheng Qing in the Zongzheng Temple, and called the Dali Temple to record his statement immediately.Then, before the officials dispersed and spread the matter secretly, he personally led a group of Jinwu guards to go straight to the mansion of Princess Anxing.

At this moment, the noble lord is still angry about the dark chess in the palace, trying to send some people to inquire about the news.However, today the Jinwu Guard is very strict, no one can step out of the princess mansion, and no more news comes in.As for the whereabouts of the son-in-law, no one informed her.

When Li Hui stepped into Princess Anxing's mansion again, she was calmer than last time.He ordered the Jinwu guards to take away all the servants in the princess mansion, and separate the servants and concubines from the Cheng concubine's courtyard from the other servants, while walking through the grassy outer courtyard, he broke into the princess' bedroom.Of course, this move also encountered strong resistance from the servants of the Princess Mansion.

Princess Anxing's face was expressionless when she heard the maid came to report in a panic.After a long time, she suddenly laughed: "Why does the saint send this nephew here every time? A mere yellow-haired boy is also used as a right-hand man. Wulang really lacks a lot of useful people. And , a suspicious person like him, why don't you think carefully at this time, whose son is this nephew?"

"The trust between uncle and nephew does not require Aunt Anxing to care about it." Li Hui stepped into the bedroom slowly, and said calmly, "Aunt was accused of treason today, so uncle sent nephew here, Invite my aunt to live temporarily in Zongzheng Temple until the trial of the case is over." Surrounded by several layers of Jinwu guards, he tied down Wuhuada, the maid who tried to stop them.After a while, there was only Princess Anxing left in the sleeping hall.

"..." The eldest princess Anxing smiled, "I don't know who put the crime on me at will, and Wu Lang suspects that I have a conspiracy? It's ridiculous. Even if he can't tolerate me, he must be punished." How about finding a more credible excuse? I have neither brothers nor heirs, so what can I do to rebel? What's more, I'm already under house arrest in the princess mansion, like a trapped animal. Did it hinder him?"

"It's not just anyone who reported on my aunt." Li Hui raised the corners of his lips, showing a hint of sarcasm.

Princess Anxing was startled slightly, narrowing her phoenix eyes: "Oh? This makes me a little curious. Who is it that actually hates me to the bone? He even made up lies to slander me? Isn't he afraid that after the lies are exposed, Was he himself the one who was exiled and even died?"

Li Hui smiled softly: "After going to Zongzheng Temple, aunt might as well ask uncle, how about it?"

Hearing this, Princess Anxing's eyes widened in an instant, and her lips clenched tightly as if she couldn't believe it.After a moment of silence, until the corners of her lips were bleeding, she suddenly burst into laughter.After laughing, she immediately showed a sad expression, as if she had been betrayed by someone, but she didn't violate the peace at all: "Before entering Zongzheng Temple, I want to see the saint."

"Yes." Li Hui said, "However, I have to wait until after Zongzheng Temple, and then I will pass on the message for aunt. As for whether uncle wants to see aunt, that is beyond my control." Although the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, he I think the saint should not refuse.He was also a little curious about what she wanted to say to the saint now.
