steal bi

Since Xie Jujin spoke, not many people started to discuss it, and after he finished speaking, the hall became even more dead silent.

Someone was looking at Qiao Yu, and someone was looking at the emperor. After Xie Xiang finished speaking, he nodded and returned to his original position.

Qiao Yu was far away from the others. After reading it, he held the letter in his hand. Eunuch Xia winked at the little eunuch standing below. The clever young man immediately understood, and walked gently to Qiao Yu's side, bending over. Waist took the letter from Qiao Yu's hand with both hands, and handed it to Yuan Zanbi.

"Shuh—" was the sound of Yuan Zan pen shaking off the letter paper.

He didn't move much, but he was very clear in the quiet hall.

The people present seemed to be awakened by the sound of paper, the old matriarch stepped up and said loudly: "My minister!"

Many people followed closely behind, and said in unison: "The minister waits for second!"

It was as noisy as hot oil poured into ice water overnight.

The tears on Qiao Yu's face had already dried, but perhaps he hadn't figured out how to respond. Facing the furious courtiers who wanted to sacrifice the flag to him, he looked at him expressionlessly. He could see everyone clearly. He can also see that he is in the same party, but he is worried about the future and dare not intercede for him, so he is coerced by his colleagues who shouted and shouted.

Although everything was acquiesced by the emperor, but there was no clear decree. At this time, the emperor may have really followed the prince's wishes.

Qiao Yuruo tilted her head slightly, just in time to see the Yuanzan pen.

He turned his head to look at the Yuanzan pen.

In such a noisy and urgent time, he can still stay out of the matter, without saying a word, just quietly reading the letter with his eyes down.

The lights in the hall were bright, and the light of the fire fell softly on everyone, but the faces of others turned red from arguing, and Qiao Yu's eyes that could only be regarded as dignified looked even more hateful, almost like a ghost in a ghost show.

Only the Yuanzan pen...

Only him, translucent and pure, is like the moonlight outside the temple.

Qiao Yu sighed softly in her heart, not because of the impermanence and fate of the world, but because at such a time, why would Mr. Yuan not want to raise his head and smile at him.

Xie Jujin bowed his head and cupped his hands, his expression was actually respectful and awe-inspiring, as if he really had no selfishness and devoted himself to serving the country.

The emperor thought, very good, very good.

Xie Jujin thought that Ning You's reform had touched the foundation of the family, so he and other important officials forced the palace to force the emperor to issue an edict to abolish the reform.Now, this seasoned Prime Minister Xie asked the emperor to kill Qiao Yu so that the emperor and the prince would not fight each other, so as to appease the prince. Although he was suspected of eliminating dissidents, he still looked better than Ji Jiying before too much.

At least this time, Xie Jujin found an excuse to be a public servant.thought the Emperor sarcastically.

Today, how is it different from the past?

Yuan Zan pen read the letter seriously.

Perhaps he was the only one in the temple trying to figure out the grammar of the letter.Four fingers overlapped and flattened the letter paper, folded it four times, folded it as if it had not been opened, and held it in his hand.He was so leisurely that it seemed that he was not in the palace where military and state affairs were discussed, but in his own study, casually putting away a joke.

The emperor's eyes finally fell on Qiao Yu.

Before Qiao Yu could speak, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xie Jujin watched coldly, but didn't say a word.

In the eyes of the ministers who had long been dissatisfied with Qiao Yu, his appearance confirmed his reputation as a traitor who flattered the country, and he was even more eager to punish Qiao Yu as soon as possible.

The emperor said, "Qiao Qing."

It was as if the dust had settled.

The young man who was so beautiful that he couldn't be seen in the world burst into tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am the son of a sinful minister. If it weren't for your majesty's benevolence, I would have been a dead bone in the grave. Your majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. I am arrogant and domineering, and I have failed the emperor. , and because of personal affairs, His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince had quarrels, and I would not regret to die." He spoke very decently, satisfying everyone.

Qiao Yu recognized it so happily, without any excuses for struggling, all the officials should be satisfied.

Afterwards, Qiao Yu was dragged out to show the public, and the head was preserved in a box with lime and ice. When the prince's army arrived, he offered it with both hands, so the father was kind and the son was filial, and everyone was happy!

The emperor couldn't see through Qiao Yu's eyes. These eyes were often covered with fog, and contained a soft affection that seemed to be there. Now he could only see Qiao Yu's tears, but he couldn't see the emotions in them.

Qiao Yu's voice was extremely remorseful, wishing she could die from the world.

The emperor was also very satisfied.

He was satisfied with Qiao Yu.

The more satisfied, the more regretful.

Judging from his appearance alone, Qiao Yu doesn't look like him very much, nor does he look like the Crown Princess... Maybe he looks a little like the Crown Princess. Mrs. Qiao asked Yuan Jing to tell him that His Majesty must go and see Qiao Yu, don't Do something you regret.After the ten-year case of Ningyou, everything was waiting to be done, a mess, and the emperor could not do anything. He hated himself, hated Xie Jujin and others, and hated Ningyou's party members even more. , Stepped into death row.

Qiao Yunian was fifteen, and he almost ran away again, and was locked up alone.

He was very skilled, and before the execution document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came down, the criminal officer was afraid of causing trouble again, so he broke the boy's legs. After entering the quiet room, the master executioner repeated his old trick and nailed iron spikes into Qiao Yu's knees.

The emperor was covered in black robes from head to toe. He walked through layers of prisons and met countless acquaintances.

Yesterday they were still high-spirited young officials, making suggestions for the implementation of reforms, dreaming that a great cause will be accomplished one day, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, enough to write a name in the Qing Dynasty. Today, they are prisoners of the ranks. , but also implicate the family.

Under the black robe, passers-by could not see the emperor's expression clearly.

The emperor walked to the innermost place and saw Qiao Yu at a glance.

The young man's legs were broken, drooping limply, his wrists were tied above his head, his wrists were already bruised, and it would not be long before his hands were abolished.He was hung on it with his feet not touching the ground, and the ground beneath him had long been clotted with blood.

Qiao Yu's long hair was stuck to his face with cold sweat and blood, he closed his eyes tightly, probably passed out from the pain.

The jailer didn't know the identity of the man in black, but he knew he was a nobleman.

The nobleman asked to see Qiao Yu by name, but he was indifferent when he saw Young Master Qiao being tortured into such a cruel state. It seemed that it was not a distinguished friend who came to see him for the last time, but more like an enemy who came to show off his might.

The jailer thought he had seen through the nobleman's mind, and bent down to the emperor with a charming smile, "Please wait a moment, nobleman." He quickly took out the key from his waist, opened the prison door, and respectfully invited the emperor to enter first.

Qiao Yu was probably in too much pain, and these voices didn't wake him up.

The jailer frowned, and slapped the young man's face with his rough palm.

His face had already been whipped, but at this moment, bright red palm prints appeared.

The sound echoed in the empty cell, scaring away the skinny rats nibbling on the quilt in the corner.

The emperor raised his eyelids, but said nothing.

Qiao Yu grunted in pain, and raised his eyes with difficulty.

In these eyes, there is a mist that cannot be dissolved.

These are undoubtedly a pair of beautiful eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, but the eyes are not so narrow and long. The eyeballs are black and cool, and the eyelashes are curled up. They are too charming and gorgeous when placed on a man. He doesn't look that dainty.

The emperor froze.

He and the young man looked at each other, the hatred in the young man's eyes was undisguised, as if it was burning with flames.

"Lian Bi..." the emperor murmured.

Zhang Zhao, small characters Lianbi, married to the prince at the age of 16, the love of the husband and wife, it was a good story for a while, and others envied it.

If the crown prince hadn't died of illness, the lively young girl who freely entered and left the palace would have been the mother of the world.

These eyes had appeared countless times in his dreams, which made him unwilling, made him restless all night, made him...repent at the beginning.

The personal relationship between him and Lian Bi can't be explained clearly in a few words.

Even the maid he sent to serve Lian Bi didn't know about Lian Bi's pregnancy, let alone how Lian Bi secretly gave birth under heavy surveillance and handed over the child to Mrs. Qiao to raise.

Although this woman was loved by everyone in the harem because her father was favored by the emperor, but after more than ten years, her marriage to the prince was like a brocade, but no one was jealous or slandered.

Counting the time, Lian Bi's child may be him, of course, it may also be the former prince's.

However, he and the old crown prince were born of the same mother, their eyebrows and eyes are very similar, but their temperament is different, and the closest relatives can't tell them apart, let alone their sons.

Lian Bi is undoubtedly smart.

Standing in the cold prison, the emperor suddenly had a guess.

The crown prince has just left, and the crown princess is newly widowed. If the crown princess is in the palace, there will be too many people and rumors to fear. Of course, the two of them will not have the chance to meet, but the crown princess is in a special situation. She temporarily lives in a temple to pray for the country. If the emperor wants to see her , then anything is easy.

When old people meet each other, but today is different from the past, how can people not have mixed feelings and mixed feelings?

A few cups of aged wine, full of old feelings, is enough to be distracted.

The emperor looked at the child's dark eyes, his fingers trembling slightly, but his heart was cold.

"My lord?" the jailer asked cautiously.

The minister of the Ministry of punishment appeared at the door at some time, and the jailer fell to his knees in fright.

The emperor said indifferently: "Qiao Yi deceived the sage and harmed the country and the people. His crime should have been unforgivable. I thought his youngest son was young and ignorant, so he was imprisoned in a quiet room. He was not allowed to come or go without an order, and no one was allowed to visit him."

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said: "Yes."

The emperor glanced at the jailer who was kneeling on the ground like he was sifting chaff, and said, "Kill him."

"Yes." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said respectfully, "Respectfully send your Majesty off."

The emperor's robe scraped the floor, making a rustling sound.

Behind him, there was an ignorant jailer begging for mercy.

The thin and cold young man's eyes fell on Qiao Yu, and he said, "Master Qiao, you must have good fortune."

With blood in his mouth, Qiao Yu couldn't even speak clearly, but he still broke into an extremely embarrassed smile and said, "Master Cheng said auspiciously."

The emperor said as if he had come to a conclusion: "Qing is loyal to the country."

The guards stood outside the door, waiting for the emperor's order, and then dragged down the sitting prime minister who once had all the power.

Qiao Yu bowed her head deeply, and said: "If you can get His Majesty's word, I will never regret it."

He looked at Yuan Zanbi from the corner of his eye, and he didn't know what he was expecting, maybe he was hoping that Mr. Yuan would give him a worried look.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and said, "Is this what the ministers mean?"

A courtier respectfully said: "It's not because of selfishness, but to follow the public opinion and to avenge the hatred of the common people."

If it weren't for the tears still hanging on his face, he might really have laughed.

Qiao Xiang thought that he might bring disaster to the country, but never to the people.The emperor used him, and he also relied on the power of the emperor to divide the power of the family and instigate the relationship between the princes, and finally reached the point where the emperor wanted to abolish the prince, and the prince launched an army... to the side of the Qing emperor.

It is really unfair to say that he has harmed the country and the people.

The emperor asked again, "Do all the ministers think so?"

Qiao Yu rested her fingers on her sleeves, playing with the pattern on the official robe.

Ever since he connected with Yuan Zanbi, he rarely had this habit, but today he found it very interesting again for some reason.

What is he expecting?

Do I expect Yuan Zanbi to speak up for him, or do I hope Yuan Zanbi will keep silent and protect himself?

At this moment, Qiao Yu felt that he was being ridiculous. He wanted Yuanzanbi to sit on the sidelines before making plans, and he also wanted Yuanzanbi to be able to do everything for him.

If Yuan Zanbi gave up the overall situation for him, Master Yuan turned a scheming smart person into an unparalleled idiot in his heart. Anyone can see clearly. At this time, he spoke for Qiao Yu, but one more person was dragged into the water. .

Ruoyuan Zanbi didn't say anything, although he was smart, and certainly...satisfied him.

Qiao Yu picked up the thread on the sleeve, like stroking a flower petal with his hand.

Yuan Zan wrote: "I have objections."

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to arouse the anger of the officials.

Xie Jujin turned her head and looked at Yuan Zanbi.

Master Yuan stood there with his back extremely straight, like a weapon that would rather be bent than bent.

He looked calm, and his words were obviously the result of careful consideration.

This person has a kind, but not stupid face, and he has done stupid things that are extremely risky.

Xie Jujin tried to find the shadow of the glamorous young master Yuan from Yuan Zanbi, but found nothing.

Even though Yuan Zanbi was brought up by Yuan Zanying, Yuan Zanbi and Yuan Zanying still look like two people, one is the moon, the other is snow, the other is beautiful jade, and the other is solid ice. , with no resemblance.

Such reckless folly.Xie Jujin suddenly remembered that it was not the first time that Yuanzan pen was done.

The first time was five years ago.

Xie Jujin was drunk at the time, but now he is sober.

But Yuan Zanbi hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol at the time, and he is still sober now.

Xie Jujin ignored the heated discussion and said: "It seems that Master Yuan is not willing to settle this matter without spending a single soldier."

Qiao Yu thought, he looked like a princess who was about to be sent out to get married.

But if you think about it, there is no difference, they all sacrificed their lives for the country with righteousness.

The emperor felt that it was reasonable, but also felt that it was unexpected.

Yuan Zanbi has never been such an impulsive person.

Qiao Yu glanced at Xie Jujin, his dissatisfaction with the old man Xie Jujin was beyond the limit this night, and he couldn't help but said, "It doesn't matter if the truth wants to commit suicide to thank the world, or Master Yuan has different political views from you," he said shortly. He cried twice in one hour, his voice was hoarse, but still soft, and the words he said were sharp and different from the soft tone, "It all needs to be ruled by His Majesty. Xie Guan cares about state affairs, but only waved the flag for the death of others, and watched from the sidelines." , it’s too loyal and hypocritical.”

Just as Xie Jujin was about to speak, Qiao Yu immediately added it, and said to the emperor: "Master Yuan is the most important minister of the country, I believe that Master Yuan must have high opinions, not the words of young children to make people laugh."

Qiao Yu was hinting at him.

With Qiao Xiang's temperament, when has he ever cared about other people's lives?

The letter was still in Yuan Zanbi's hand, and the little eunuch took it cautiously, only to find that one corner of the neatly folded letter in Yuan Zanbi's hand had been pierced for some reason.

It wasn't originally on the letter paper, but it looked like someone's fingernails had stabbed it.

The emperor said coldly: "Enough."

Qiao Yu wiped the tears off his face with the corner of his sleeve.

The emperor paused what he wanted to say, but only said to Xie Jujin: "Mr. Xie is too anxious tonight."

Everyone could understand the hidden warning in the words.

At this time, the emperor still has the intention of showing favoritism.

Xie Jujin said: "The relationship between the ministers is chaotic. If you make a slip of the tongue for a while, please forgive me."

The emperor ignored him, and said to Yuan Zan, "Tell me."

Yuan Zan wrote: "I think that Qiao Xiang has been in the position for many years. Although he is a man, he has never exceeded the rules. He is in a high position and has never allowed his relatives to bully others." jump up.

Don't talk about what Qiao Yu has become, but let him let his relatives go. What kind of relatives does Qiao Yu have?If you want to let it go, you have to have it!

An official couldn't help but said, "Isn't this the most basic way to be an official?"

Yuan Zanbi nodded, and said: "It is indeed the fundamental way, otherwise I would not have set up eight inscriptions one after another for more than 150 years to warn officials to act."

It is indeed the basic method, but if someone can do it, why are there eight stone tablets in a row?

Qiao Yu wanted to close her eyes, as if if she took another look at the figure standing in the temple, she would be stabbed by the candlelight on his body.

It may be that the smoke from the candles in the temple choked his eyes.Qiao Yu couldn't help rubbing the corners of his eyes with his hands, but his hands were wet.

He thought sarcastically: Look, it's really an anecdote that the biggest fool in the world can still climb to such a high position.

"Qiao Xiang has been watching for many years, and he has made great contributions. There is no need for ministers to repeat his achievements." Yuan Zhanbi seemed to have not heard the discussions of the ministers, nor could he feel the hatred in the eyes of others, "Only the case of Chen Qiutai, this is the case The minister and Qiao Xiang jointly investigated, and the evidence of Chen Qiutai's treason is solid, even if he is the prince's uncle, he should be dealt with according to the national law."

He continued in a low voice, neither humble nor overbearing: "The crown prince is your majesty's parent and son. He is both a son and a subject. The crown prince rebelled. I understand the principle of monarch and minister first, and father and son second. Today, the minister rebelled, but for the rebellion he killed the minister who devoted himself to it. Please forgive me for my short-sightedness. I really don’t understand what kind of admirable plan this is."
