tribute male queen

Lin etiquette is very strict, secondly, forgive the slave for being bold, this is the method His Majesty used at the beginning, it is indeed a little too much.But the old slave firmly believed that as long as he was sincere, he would get better. "

The emperor thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Then tell me, wasn't the late emperor sincere to Gu Mingzhou?"

An Rong's complexion changed. In front of the emperor, his respectful appearance instantly faded. He said with a gloomy face, "The former emperor was blasphemy to Gu Mingzhou. This slave once swore that he would not be able to kill his head, nor would he die well. Your Majesty, What the servant said today is treasonous and immoral, and should be punished by Ling Chi. The servant does not regret it. I have thought so in my heart for so many years. If His Majesty has a suspicion, I will directly execute the servant, the servant..."

The emperor exclaimed, hurriedly stopped An Rong's words, and said eagerly: "Uncle, there will never be such a day. People in the world don't know what sacrifices the uncle made for Jing'er, but Jing'er knows. If the uncle is worried that I will not be here in the future Now, the king of future generations will be against you, and I will definitely leave a decree to ensure the safety of the uncle's family from generation to generation. I can leave an edict to issue a death certificate, which will be valid for generations."

"Your Majesty!" An Rong lowered his head and wept.

The emperor seldom called Uncle An Rong on non-Chongyang nights, and he used his own name to call himself Uncle An Rong. This is the case today, obviously the emperor knew that he had poked An Rong's sore spots.

"Uncle, don't worry, I promise you that I will let them be together. I know that there are some things in this world that cannot be desecrated. The late emperor just didn't know it, and broke his own life."

An Rong nodded, "Your Majesty, this servant is afraid that Your Majesty will follow the old path of the former emperor!"

The emperor said: "I know, I will try my best to make up for it."

……

It was the first time for He Lancong to enter the emperor's imperial study. The last time he was summoned, he ran into Concubine Cao in Qiongtai halfway and was humiliated.This time, I don't know what kind of tricks the emperor is playing, and I can't help but feel uneasy.Look around and start to visit.

The imperial study room has three suites inside and outside. The outermost one is divided into left and right compartments. It is a place for the servants to rest and prepare tea, fruit and snacks. The middle suite is where the emperor reads and writes. The mahogany bookshelves are neatly arranged Displayed in order, there are books, calligraphy and paintings, and the Four Treasures of the Study.The inner room is the place where the emperor reviewed the memorials and discussed confidential matters with the ministers.On the large dragon case are various memorials. Behind the dragon case is a dragon chair carved with two dragons playing with pearls. The bright yellow embroidered dragon seat cushion and the soft cushion for the waist are crookedly placed on the chair.

Compared with the middle room and the inner room, the layout is much simpler.Looking inside, there is a long Jinque screen in front of you, and you think the back is a place for the emperor to rest.

Seeing someone coming, the emperor knew that he would not salute to him, so he pointed to the mahogany chair next to him, and said, "Sit down and rest first, and I will talk about why I came to you later. Come, let's have some tea."

After Xiao Fu helped He Lancong untie the cloak wrapped around him, he turned around to salute the emperor, and retreated to the outside room.At this moment, other courtiers brought tea and fruits and put them on the small table next to He Lancong.

An Rong bowed at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, he is here."

The emperor said: "Xuan!"

He Lancong was full of suspicion, and his heart became more and more uneasy. At this moment, a person came in.

The man was dressed in a navy blue official uniform of the fourth rank. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and saluted, and shouted: "I will directly admonish Fang Jinnian, the Secretary of the Department of Political Affairs, and bow to my majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor raised his hand to make him stand up, and said, "Did you bring it?"

Fang Jinnian said: "Return to Your Majesty, I brought it here." Bu Zhengqing took out a booklet similar to the case book from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

The emperor said to An Rong: "Show it to him?"

An Rong smiled lightly, "Observe the order."

An Rong took the thin booklet, but handed it to He Lancong.

"What do you mean?" He Lancong was stunned.

The emperor said: "The day after tomorrow is the end of the year. This matter is a bit tricky, so I'll let you see if you can find any clues. I feel that the death row prisoner is really wronged, but I can't find any evidence to prove his innocence. "

He Lancong sneered, "Your Majesty is sure, I can find it?"

The emperor was helpless, "Give it a try, if I can find it out, I will be very grateful."

Hmph, let a general look at the case, is it possible that he wants to see my jokes?

Ever since Fang Jinnian entered the imperial study, he was curious about the identity of the person sitting on the right.Seeing that the emperor showed him the case directly, it seemed to be flattering, and this man was obviously indifferent and disrespectful, but the emperor did not see any displeasure, and he was secretly surprised.

He Lancong flipped through the case file as quickly as possible. Although he could see ten lines at a glance, he did not miss any details.He suddenly understood why the emperor thought the case was difficult. The key to the case was a couplet. In the martial arts country of Beicang, if one is not proficient in this way, it would be difficult to solve the case.

The emperor said: "Is there something wrong?"

He Lancong sighed, and said: "The culprit is wronged. In the whole case, no one killed anyone. The dead bride should have committed suicide."

"What?" After He Lancong finished speaking, An Rong and Fang Jinnian looked at each other in shock, only the corner of the emperor's mouth curled up.

"Yes, there are flaws, but..."

He Lancong frowned vaguely when he saw half of what he said, and naturally knew what he meant, and smiled secretly, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant: "The couplets in this case are from Donglin's "Qilian Miaocopy", so the rare book will be read as soon as possible. The tragic death of the person who recorded it has been lost, but there are still some records in the rare copies copied in the palace..."

Seeing his point, the emperor snorted, he had already expected that the concubine would know more about "The Wonderful Copy of Strange Union", if he had shown her the case file earlier, the truth of the case would have been revealed. "

At this point in his thoughts, Long Xin was unhappy.As an emperor, he thinks he can't lose in Wentao and Wulue, but the ability to bite the bullet is a talent brought out in the womb, and he can't make up for it.As a result, he is inferior to others because of this. Even if he doesn't say it, how can he not feel ashamed in his heart?

"Cough, please be more specific..."

However, even if he was unwilling, he still had to focus on clearing up his grievances. As a result, the king of a country coughed carefully, but his tone softened significantly when he spoke again.

Such a subtle change, He Lancong saw it in his eyes, and felt very good in his heart.Hmph, what is this, you will ask others for it?

"Your Majesty is well-informed, such a flaw has already been penetrated, why should I say more?"

The tone was contemptuous, and there was something in the words that anyone could hear.An Rong and Fang Jinnian glanced at each other, and turned their attention to the superior king together.Sure enough, his face was different.

"...There are really no rules, and you answered Zhao Dong's words in the same way in Donglin?"

He Lancong replied tepidly: "How is it possible, there is no king in Donglin who is as respectful and virtuous as His Majesty!"

One sentence at a time, tit-for-tat confrontation, each other frightened the courtiers beside them.Seeing the change in the atmosphere, An Rong quickly stepped forward to block between the two of them, and said with a smile on his face, "Young master, like His Majesty, has already seen the flaws? This slave is ashamed. It's about human life. I don't know if you can give me some advice." two?"

He Lancong looked up at the emperor again after hearing the words, then turned his gaze away but couldn't help sighing.Forget it, no matter Dong Lin or Bei Cang, the common people suffer innocently, and I always can't stand it.

"The dead bride, in the bridal chamber night, wanted to test my uncle's literary talents, so he came up with this weird couplet. If he said that he was not right, he was not allowed to bridal chamber. In order not to let the bride look down, the groom went to think hard about the next couplet. But no one knows what happened to the new house. The groom has now been sentenced to beheaded, and has always insisted that he did not go back that night, but it is clearly stated in the case that the bride once said to the groom that the husband is very talented. The groom is still wondering , I have never spoken to him, so there is no literary talent to speak of, but what he said to himself has contributed to the death of the bride."

The room was very quiet, several people listened quietly to He Lancong's analysis with their ears pricked up.

"The bridegroom would say, 'Oh, I'm ashamed, my wife's sentence is too difficult, I thought about it all night and never said it'. After hearing what the groom said, the bride suddenly yelled and kicked the groom out of the new house Not long after, the bride died. Because the groom was kicked out, many people thought that the young couple had a quarrel. When the bride’s body was found, they would first think that the groom was a murderer. He killed the bride and pretended to be kicked out. The appearance of the new house. In fact, this case is not a difficult and strange case, it is just that the clerk missed a few things during the investigation."

"What's missing?" Fang Jinnian stood up with a very urgent look.

He Lancong said: "First, where did the groom go that night and who did he meet? Did he mention to others why he came out on the wedding night; The servant girl, when the bride heard the bridegroom said that she hadn’t spoken to the couplet, did the bride have any strange changes at that time; thirdly, the old lady of the groom’s family asked if the bride’s wedding belt was red. In fact, the whole case In the process, the person handling the case missed one of the most crucial details—"

The emperor slammed the case file on the dragon case with a 'slap', and followed the trend: "The bride said 'husband has a good literary talent'..."

The corners of He Lancong's lips twitched slightly when he heard the words: "That's right, the words the bride said are enough to show that someone went out of their way that night, pretending to be the groom, and entered the bridal chamber."

At this point in the words, the world turned upside down, Fang Jinnian was a little surprised, looked at He Lancong, and secretly thought that this person was really extraordinary.

And after its detailed explanation, the emperor was also very excited, writing on the case and writing the word "Zhaoxue" on the paper.

"Fang Qing, draw up an order quickly and retry the case without any mistakes."

Dismissing the crowd, the hall was silent for a while, until He Lancong suddenly heard a faint smile from the superior, and even drifted across two
