[Rebirth] Fallen Grass Becomes a Bandit

Sure enough, the next day, the news of the students being burnt at the Guozijian student gathering spread overwhelmingly, and everyone from the courtiers to the common people talked about it. Yushitai prepared a memorial that night to demand severe punishment for the murderer, and it was rumored that someone even witnessed the arson on the spot. people.

"The steward of the prince's mansion? How is that possible?" Shen Qian turned his head in surprise, put the book back on the shelf, and asked a little puzzled: "The prince always cherishes feathers, why would he set fire to people? And the students of the Imperial College and the prince Nothing to do with it, where did the rumors come from?"

Princess Gaoyang supported her forehead and felt a headache. Before the palace gate was opened, the emperor secretly announced her into the palace. He thought that the matter of Gaoling had been revealed, but he did not expect to be involved in this inexplicable disturbance.

The emperor said angrily: "My sister must have known about the fire in Furui Building. Someone sued the crown prince for arson and brought witnesses to beat the grievance drum outside the palace. What should I do!"

Princess Gao Yang asked suspiciously: "Brother, do you believe that His Highness the Crown Prince set the fire?"

"I...of course I don't believe it!" The emperor paused for a while, and then said eagerly: "But if I don't believe it, those who are interested will naturally show evidence to convince me! The crown prince has only been established for three or five years In the past year, now there are unfavorable rumors, how can I convince the prince to convince the public after my death in a hundred years?"

"Long live my emperor! The emperor must be very careful in his words, and the minister is terrified." Princess Gao Yang bowed her hands, puzzled and said: "Is the emperor expecting someone to frame the crown prince?"

The emperor was sitting on a high position, and the big bright yellow dragon robe made him look a bit thin and unable to support the clothes, and the deeply sunken eyes made him look a little old, at this time he said with shame on his face: "My Majesty and the ruler of the country Although he has no great talent, the crown prince is my eldest son, and now he is the eldest son. No one knows his character better than me. The crown prince is honest and honest, so he will definitely not be the murderer behind the scenes. I'm afraid, those who have evil intentions The person on the throne will make a big fuss about it, I... must not let the prince's reputation be damaged."

Princess Gao Yang sighed, she was too narrow-minded, no wonder they wanted to make a move.

"What does the emperor want my sister to do?"

Seeing that Princess Gao Yang was willing to help, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Someone saw the prince and his friends appearing in the Furui Building on the night of arson. I wonder if we can let the prince come out to testify and set the record straight!"

Hearing his mother's narration, Shen Qian shook his head and refused: "This is not a perjury. Even I suspect that the crown prince was wronged, but the most urgent thing is to find out the truth, not just expose it!" Shen Qian had a keen sense It is not easy to come to this matter, since the crown prince is involved, there must be someone's plan.

Princess Gao Yang smiled wryly, and sat on Shen Qian's big pear wood armchair, raised her head slightly, and sighed, "He has nothing to do, his health is getting worse and worse, and the appointed heir is so disappointing, you want him to find out the truth? If you hide it from the bottom, sometimes you stand on the top, you never want to see the truth you want!"

Princess Gaoyang thought about this, and thought of being a compatriot with the emperor, who suffered a lot in the early years, and the emperor protected her for many years, if she didn't stand up to support the prince at this time, it would inevitably make him feel chilly.

"Qian'er, the crown prince's position is in jeopardy, you have to help in this matter!"

Shen Qian said: "I left Furui Building before the fire started, where can I testify? Although I witnessed the person who set the fire, but that person is from Weihou's residence, if he came out to testify, it would inevitably involve Weihou and Princess Gaoling, It's probably hard to cover up the emperor's secrets, according to my mother, should the emperor protect the crown prince or that one?"

Gao Yang turned pale with shock, and Shen Qian explained his inferences one by one. In the end, Princess Gao Yang was very angry.

"What a vicious stupid woman!" Gao Yang said angrily, "Qian'er, you don't have to look forward and backward, find all the evidence immediately, let's go to the imperial court to settle the case! That poisonous woman is so good that she is so good, I want to see if it is the prince who is important this time or her Important, two-two-weight bones, I don't know what to say!"

Shen Qian entrusted the search for evidence to He Qiluo. He has a wide network and maybe he will have a conclusion before sunset. Princess Gaoling has kicked the iron plate this time. Hey, it’s not that it’s not time to report it!Thinking of the pink and cute little son in Yao's mansion, Shen Qiandun felt that the mother and daughter were very evil. It should be the son of the Hou's mansion who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He suddenly became an illegitimate child of an unknown father. nah!

Immediately, Shen Qian thought, why did the prince get involved?Even thinking of Jiang Chenying, the third prince who was studying at home, Shen Qian would not believe it if he said that this matter was not done by him!

That's right, he was originally the son of the Empress Yuan. When the Empress Yuan died and Concubine Zheng became the empress, her eldest son became the head of the line in a fair manner, occupying both the line and the head. Resolution, but the third prince who passed away after his natal family was ruined and his mother was the first heir, but because he lost power, he was forced into a corner of the wall and passed by the crown prince. How could he not hate it?Shen Qian thought, in the previous life, Jiang Chenying used one method after another to ruin the prince's reputation, and the emperor's disappointment with the prince was the trigger for the prince's coup d'état. They are a good father and son , It's a pity that some people can't see it!

The hatred in Shen Qian's eyes flashed, he wanted to get rid of a small fish and shrimp, but he didn't expect to catch a big guy this time!Jiang Chenying, this time, you will never get your wish!

There was a dull pain in his heart, so Shen Qian could only lie on the chair, sweating slightly on his forehead, allowing the feeling of cramping to spread to his limbs, he will pay for the sins he has done this time, the crown prince is innocent, and He Qiluo is even more innocent!Jiang Chenying, even if you kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, this time I will let the world see your authenticity!

He Qiluo asked Song Huayang to put the colorful testimony in front of Shen Qian. Song Huayang coughed and said with a strange expression: "Brother He found the person who set the fire that day, ahem, they all confessed voluntarily. Confession, take a look!"

Shen Qian looked at him for a while, and asked, "Have you executed the sentence?"

Song Huayang immediately jumped three feet high and yelled: "Those old people, don't show them a little bit to see how you can force them to spit out something real?!" Then he realized that he had been tricked, and distinguished, "Don't worry! We didn't use the chili water tiger stool or anything!"

"Then what are you doing?" Shen Qian asked curiously.

Song Huayang stammered, and obediently told the truth under the pressure of Shen Qian's eyes, "It's nothing, it's just that Brother Cui killed a death row prisoner who should have been beheaded but was infected with the plague in front of them..."

"Kill chickens to scare monkeys? So let them recruit?" Shen Qian felt strange, this group of people was too disloyal.

Song Huayang swallowed, his throat rolled, and he said: "San Ge Cui's way of killing people is different from ordinary people. He cut up the death row prisoner one by one, and the flesh and blood... were separated. It was terrible. Even if I saw that I can't bear the scene."

"Did he give the death row prisoner to Ling Chi?" Shen Qian asked clearly.

"That's right, it's Ling Chi. Then Brother He said, if they don't tell the truth, the prisoner's death will look better than theirs."

some! "Song Huayang said with concern, "There can be no suspicion of forced beatings, so we can't use torture to leave scars. We brothers all think this method is very good!" "

Shen Qian raised his head and sighed at the talent!

That night, Princess Gao Yang took Shen Qian into the palace after changing into a ceremonial attire and handing over a sign.Before the key was released to the palace gate, the emperor and empress attached great importance to this matter. As soon as the guards said that Princess Gaoyang had brought the eldest son into the palace, the emperor was overjoyed, and the empress who was serving in the Jinhua Palace immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law and son pay homage to the emperor's brother, all blessings to the emperor's brother!" Gao Yang brought Shen Qian to kneel down and greeted the queen.The queen was naturally overjoyed, and she went down the jade steps to help the princess get up.

"Is there any clue about this matter? Qianer, are you willing to testify for the crown prince?" the emperor asked eagerly.

The empress is nearly forty years old but still has a charming charm. Needless to say, she is dignified and dignified. She is even more peaceful and concerned about Shen Qian and the princess. The progress is not in a hurry, I have seen the young master of the Shen family, and I heard that he is also quite famous in talent and learning, thinking of the princess is really a blessing!"

Princess Gao Yang smiled modestly, Shen Qian cupped his hands and bowed: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your praise!"

The emperor withdrew everyone, and a group of people entered the study in the side hall.

"What does imperial sister mean? Is Qian'er willing to rectify the name of the prince?" the emperor asked.

Princess Gao Yang replied: "Emperor brother, don't worry too much, this matter has been settled, and now my sister has found all the evidence to prove the crown prince's innocence, I can take a look at it!"

"This is true!" The emperor and empress were all pleasantly surprised.

Shen Qian took out the confession from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch who served the emperor personally. He stood with his hands folded, and said, "These are the confessions of those who set fire in the Furui building that day. There are 12 people in total. They can prove that this matter has nothing to do with the prince."

"Who are these people? Why did they frame the emperor's son?" the queen asked.

Shen Qian replied: "More than half of the 12 people are generals of Wei Hou's residence, and the origins of the rest are quite strange."

"Wei Chen?" The emperor was furious, "Why did he frame my crown prince? Does he have the intention of treason?!"

The queen personally brought hot tea to comfort the emperor, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please listen to the princess first. If it is so simple, the princess doesn't have to come in person."

"Sister, tell me carefully, I want to see who dares to frame the heir apparent of Hou Qin!"

Princess Gao Yang smiled deeply, lowered her head and asked, "Does the Emperor still remember Princess Wei Fu's life experience?"

With a sound of "shua", the emperor stood up, and the gentle and generous queen beside him also turned pale, obviously knowing the inside story.

"What do you mean?"

Princess Gao Yang said: "Wei Hou probably didn't know about the arson. The students of the Imperial College were suffering, and the leader of them was Lord Yao Guangzheng's second son, Yao Wenxuan. From my sister's point of view, Princess Gaoling wanted to take action against him, right? !"

The emperor looked embarrassed, and asked in a bad tone: "Does the imperial sister have evidence?"

Princess Gaoyang said: "The eldest daughter of the Yao family who was divorced was the original wife of Marquis Wei. At that time, Marquis Wei refused to agree with him when he insisted on stopping his wife and remarrying his younger sister. Who knows that Yao's family was divorced on the front foot and diagnosed on the back foot. I'm pregnant."

The queen turned pale with fright, and shouted, "What a crime!"

"How did you know that the child is Wei Hou? Maybe it's her lack of self-cultivation!" The emperor struggled.

Princess Gao Yang glanced at him, smiled wryly, and said: "Mr. Yao once begged at my sister's house that day, and my sister wanted to complain about her at that time. She divorced her wife in the name of misfortune, and Mrs. Yao is already pregnant. Pregnant, Marquis Wei should take her back to the mansion so that she can be raised as a general. But what my ministers never expected was that Yao Shi was strong and chaste, and she didn't want to bow down to others, and was willing to be divorced. Therefore, Yao Shi alone The youngest son has been brought up to this day, but Tuo Chenmei concealed it on her behalf, and the doctor Wen Po on the day of childbirth is a reliable person that Chen Mei has found, the time and date just coincided, there is no mistake, the child must be the son of Weihou."

Hearing this, the empress already understood, she smiled ironically, but still put on a peaceful face to fill in the ins and outs of the matter for Gao Yang, and said: "Gao Ling knew about the existence of this child, so he wanted to take action to cut off Yao's way back home. , Then Yao Wenxuan is the youngest son of the Yao family, knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, such a move of hate! Even my son was involved, the emperor, how do you think of punishment?" The queen bit the word "punishment" fiercely.

The emperor said in embarrassment: "Gao Ling is pure in nature, how could he do such a thing? She has contributed to raising the blood of the royal family, but she didn't ask Wei Fu to be included in the imperial jade plate, and she was willing to let her be the princess. I feel ashamed of her." !"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Shen Qian, who was silently on the side, suddenly said, "If Princess Gaoling is really as honest and kind as the Emperor said, then how could she collude with the third prince in an attempt to frame the prince and make the prince bear a bad name! "

"what!"

Both the emperor and the empress stood up, looking in shock at Shen Qian who spoke frankly.
