Spring dyed pear blossoms

Wei Yuanqi stared at Meng Qiucheng, and said coldly, "If you can't find the result, I will take your head."

Meng Qiucheng hastily put his body down on the ground, not daring to say more.

Seeing this, Liu Xi shouted loudly, "Show me, Yushufang!"

A group of people walked towards the imperial study.Along the way, both Meng Qiucheng and Wei Anrong raised their hearts to their throats, their eyes wandered around, not daring to relax for a moment.

If you want to get rid of the crime, you can only plead guilty.If the queen mother wants to be alone, Tu Hai will inevitably become the target of public criticism.How to become the target of public criticism is naturally to bear all the crimes in front of the emperor, the princess, and her presiding officer.Offending the emperor is a capital offense.

But she couldn't let Tuhai die like this, so she specially asked the emperor to move the study room.Only when Tuhai is taken down can the truth of the year be revealed.

Meng Qiucheng had thought about it a long time ago, and the princess would come forward to make an appointment in advance to enjoy the flowers with the emperor.And when she enters the palace, someone will definitely notify the emperor.Tuhai will definitely seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to assassinate.In addition, she has checked that there is only one road from the imperial garden to the imperial study, and Tu Hai can only take action on this road.

If she guessed right, Tuhai is going to assassinate her this time.Because she is the official responsible for investigating the matter of Concubine Chen, if she dies, the case will not be investigated.If he didn't die, Tu Hai would worry about things being exposed and take everything into his own hands.In this way, he still has half of his life.

Meng Qiucheng was also unambiguous, before going out, he specially put on a gold silk soft armor on his body.So she wasn't particularly worried at the moment, she was only worried that Tu Hai would not show up.

When everyone came to a corner, the tall rockery blocked people's sight.

Meng Qiu had a premonition in his heart, and the worry in his heart couldn't go away.She pulled herself together and approached the rockery little by little.The light of the knife flashed in front of her eyes suddenly, and then, a person sprang out from the rockery, and the knife passed by her cheek.

Liu Xi shouted in surprise, "Come here, come quickly to protect the emperor, there are assassins."

The assassin covered his face and wore the clothes of a palace eunuch.Every time he wanted to cut Meng Qiucheng with his hands, but before the knife touched him, Meng Qiucheng sat on the ground by himself, rolling and crawling around.

Xiao Mubai led his bodyguards to escort him, Meng Qiucheng grabbed his arm, "Commander Xiao, save me! Help me!"

Xiao Mubai looked at Meng Qiucheng contemptuously, his covetous and fearful appearance really made him angry.But he couldn't be disrespectful in front of the emperor and the princess, so he said in a low voice, "Lord Meng, let go quickly. How can I catch the thief if you hold me like this?"

Meng Qiucheng didn't listen at all, just refused to let go.Trembling, he hid behind Xiao Mubai and said, "My lord, my legs are weak."

A strange look flashed across Wei Yuanqi's face, and he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Meng Qiucheng's actions.

Xiao Mubai really had no choice but was about to throw him away when the assassin took the opportunity to come forward with a knife.Meng Qiucheng didn't dodge, seeing the knife piercing his chest, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Wei Anrong's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists nervously.

Xiao Mubai was also taken aback, he didn't expect Meng Qiucheng to be stabbed.Nervous in my heart, I held up the knife and was about to chop off the assassin.As for the assassin, he closed his eyes at this moment and gave up his resistance, as if he knew what was going to happen next.

Meng Qiucheng pretended to be hurt, and then stood up suddenly.Smiling, he grabbed Xiao Mubai's hand, pointed to the place where the sword cut, and said, "Fortunately, I have always cherished this life, and I often wear this golden silk soft armor on my body."

Wei Anrong seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and then let go of his clenched hand, the palm of which was already covered in cold sweat.

After Meng Qiucheng finished speaking, there was a flattering smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Mubai and praised, "Commander Xiao is really good at it." Fu turned his head and saluted Wei Yuanqi again, "Your Majesty, now that the witnesses are in evidence, the case can probably be settled." broken."

Wei Yuanqi was a little puzzled, "You said this assassin is the witness?"

Meng Qiucheng nodded, Wei Yuanqi took a deep look at him and didn't ask any further questions, and said to Xiao Mubai beside him, "Take him and go to the imperial study."

Xiao Mubai lowered his head and answered, "Yes!"

In the imperial study room, Liu Xi dismissed all the serving eunuchs and maids, and Xiao Mubai personally guarded the door of the imperial study room to prevent anyone from entering.

Meng Qiucheng stepped forward and pulled off the black veil on the assassin's face, and smiled faintly.

Wei Yuanqi was startled when he got up, his pupils shrank suddenly, "Tuhai?"

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "Your Majesty, this is the person who killed Concubine Chen back then."

Tu Hai didn't make any excuses, just snorted coldly.

Wei Yuanqi knew it in his heart, but he made an even more puzzled expression on his face, with two sword eyebrows flying horizontally, showing no anger and prestige.He asked in a low voice, "Tu Hai, why did you kill Concubine Chen?"

"Because the servant stole the medicinal materials from the palace and was caught by the concubine Chen. Stealing the things in the palace is a capital crime. The servant thought that he would die anyway, so he was moved to kill. On that day, he sneaked into the Jincui Palace and put Concubine Chen was killed. This incident has been going on for many years, and the servant thought that no one would find out.

I didn't want the emperor to order Mr. Meng to investigate the matter again, and the servant was worried about being exposed, so he became murderous again against Mr. Meng.Your Majesty, this servant pleaded guilty and begged His Majesty to spare his life. "

Tuhai didn't feel panicked at all, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy seemed to have been premeditated.

"Tuhai, assassinating in the palace is a capital crime. You want to kill Meng Qiucheng, why do you want to assassinate in front of me?"

"Back to the emperor, I heard that the princess invited the emperor to enjoy the flowers, and I met Mr. Shao before, and knew that Mr. Meng had also entered the palace. The emperor gave Mr. Meng a ten-day period to investigate the haunting of Jincui Palace. This slave is afraid that Mr. Meng is With clues, he made up his mind to assassinate.

The servant is the person next to the Queen Mother, as long as the assassination is successful, the servant can go back to the Ci'an Hall.The Imperial Garden is not far from Ci'an Hall, the Empress Dowager is now grounded, and the guards of Ci'an Hall are lax, so it is not difficult to avoid being noticed. "

Meng Qiucheng looked at Tu Hai and shook his head and sighed, "Grandpa Tu is really impeccable! I really admire him. The motive of killing, the method of killing, and even the escape route map after the killing. Father-in-law has already thought about it. I have some doubts, Mr. Tu really wanted to assassinate this official on a temporary basis, or it was premeditated."

After Meng Qiucheng finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Wei Yuanqi, and his words became stern. "Your Majesty, Tu Hai's intention to kill Concubine Chen is unforgivable. But he is definitely not the mastermind. The real mastermind is someone else."

Tu Hai immediately retorted, "No one is in charge, and people are killed by slaves."

Meng Qiucheng ignored his defense and said, "I still have witnesses, because I am worried that they will be plotted against by villains, so I have been hiding in a hidden place. This person believes that the emperor will know when he sees it."

Wei Yuanqi asked coldly, "Where is the witness?"

"Just waiting outside the palace gate." Meng Qiucheng replied.

Wei Yuanqi shouted loudly, "Xiao Mubai, bring someone to the imperial study."

Xiao Mubai who was outside the gate did not dare to delay in accepting the order, so he led the people outside the palace gate himself.

At this time outside the palace gate, Zhang Zekun and Gui Xiang waited anxiously.

But after a while, the two were brought into the imperial study room without any delay.

Wei Yuanqi was shocked when he saw Zhang Zekun.Although he could no longer see his appearance, but when this person opened his mouth, he had an impression in his mind.At that time, he was still young, and Zhang Zekun was still the commander of the imperial forest army in the palace, and he had taught him some kung fu.Time flies for many years, and now things are really different.

Wei Yuanqi thought for a while, but still asked, "Are you the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Zhang Zekun?"

Zhang Zekun knelt on the ground for a long time without raising his head, his voice seemed to have gone through vicissitudes, and tears overflowed in his eyes, "The emperor was still a little prince at that time, I didn't expect that the emperor could still remember the villain."

Wei Yuanqi looked up at Meng Qiucheng, "What's going on?"

Meng Qiucheng said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, Commander Zhang was ordered to stay in Yongle Temple back then. As for Guixiang, she was Concubine Chen's personal maid and had been hiding in Jincui Palace.

Concubine Chen's death was just one of the bad things that villain did, and the cause of all the things probably started from the beginning of the first emperor's ascension to the throne.But this matter involves a lot, and I dare to speak out when I ask the emperor to forgive my innocence. "

Upon hearing this, both Xia Lian and Xiao Mubai left the imperial study, Liu Xi stepped forward and closed the door, and there were no outsiders.Wei Yuanqi said, "Say it, I forgive you for your innocence."

Meng Qiucheng then said, "At the beginning of the first emperor's ascension to the throne, in order to consolidate the throne, he married the Empress Dowager Fucha. In the second year, Wang Liu Minhui, who had a different surname, came back from the border and rebelled. My childhood sweetheart, I don't want such an accident to happen. Liu Minhui's rebellion was all for the Queen Mother, and King Yong is the son of Liu Minhui and the Queen Mother."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuanqi's face darkened.

Meng Qiucheng glanced at Wei Yuanqi quietly, and continued, "At first, in order to win over my ministers, King Yong asked him to go to King Yong's other garden, and the plaque in the other garden was written on the plaque of Liu Mansion. I have never been able to understand it. Later, for the investigation of Jin The incident of the haunting of Jade Palace was included in the file, trying to find some clues from the case book of the year, but the key part on it was torn up.

The person who can tear up the case book must have been guessed by the emperor.The first emperor didn't want the royal scandal to be leaked, so he destroyed all of Liu Minhui's records, leaving only Liu Minhui's rebellion for investigation.

The minister secretly investigated, Liu Minhui had a good relationship with Fucha's family back then, and was fostered by Fucha's family when he was young.It's not surprising that he has feelings for the Queen Mother, but he never expected that Liu Minhui would rebel for a woman.

Liu Minhui's rebellion was suppressed, and the court situation became more unstable.For the sake of Great Zhou, the first emperor allowed a queen mother who was pregnant with someone else's child. "

Wei Yuanqi's body moved slightly, and he clenched his fist on the table with one hand, making the sound of muscle contraction.It's not that he didn't think about it, and it's not that he didn't have doubts.But he didn't want to guess like that.

The Queen Mother is his biological mother, but King Yong is not his biological brother.This humiliating history made him lose face and made the anger in his heart involuntarily superimpose.

Holding back his anger, he said in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with Tu Hai's murder?"

"Your Majesty, when Liu Minhui was killed by the late emperor, can the empress dowager really be able to stand up to the late emperor with peace of mind? The late emperor has always been indifferent to the king of Yong, and everyone in and outside the palace knows it. Therefore, in order to retaliate, the empress dowager did everything possible to get rid of him. The most beloved concubine of the former emperor. For the sake of King Yong's future, the Empress Dowager secretly cultivated power to ensure the safety of King Yong.

And all the following things started because of this incident.

The Empress Dowager ordered people to burn Yongle Temple, and ordered people to kill Concubine Chen, all because of a letter written by the late emperor.

Gui Xiang saw with her own eyes that the murderer was Tu Hai.In order to protect the safety of the princess, Concubine Chen handed over the letter from the first emperor to Commander Zhang. She didn't want this matter to go unnoticed.

In order to avoid future troubles, the Queen Mother ignored human life, and none of the innocent monks in Yongle Temple was spared.

The emperor may not believe what the minister said, but the letter from the first emperor, the minister would never dare to forge.It was because of this letter that Chen was convinced of all his inferences. "

After Meng Qiucheng finished speaking, Zhang Zekun took out the letter and presented it.

Wei Yuanqi looked at every word in the letter, and he knew that the letter was true.

He was even more furious at the moment, "Tuhai, what else do you have to say?"

Meng Qiucheng turned around and looked at Tu Hai, knowing that he might commit suicide here in order to protect the Queen Mother.She took a step forward, stood in front of Tu Hai, and asked softly, "Grandpa Tu, you have been loyal to the Queen Mother for many years, have you ever thought about your siblings in the countryside, have you ever thought about your elderly father?

Do you think the queen mother will really take care of your family after you die?Do you think everything will end when you die?If this officer hadn't found your family first, they might have died.

I can protect them for a while, but not for a lifetime.You know the methods of the Queen Mother better than this official. It is easy to kill you, but do you really want to watch your family die with you? "

Tuhai's eyes showed surprise, he slumped on the ground, and said in a daze, "The queen mother, the queen mother promised the servant that she would spare the servant's family. How could it be..."

"Grandpa Tu, haven't you understood the changes in the deep palace for so many years? Since ancient times, only those who are useful can survive, and those who are useless are useless even if they live. Besides, if you die, everything about you will be lost." You have to follow and be clean. Otherwise, how can the Empress Dowager feel at ease!"

Meng Qiucheng lowered his head, seeing his appearance, couldn't help but sigh secretly.She sighed because the queen mother did not kill his family.It's just an extraordinary time, an extraordinary means.

Wei Yuanqi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Meng Qiucheng thoughtfully, without saying a word.

Tuhai knelt on the ground, and his original idea of ​​suicide was finally dispelled.He kowtowed a few times, "Your Majesty, this servant pleaded guilty, and this servant said everything. But this is all the fault of this servant, and the crime is not as good as his family members. This servant dares to ask the emperor to forgive his family members."

Wei Yuanqi thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, as long as you recruit truthfully, I will spare your family."

Meng Qiucheng looked at Wei Yuanqi, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The emperor is benevolent and loves the people like a son. What the emperor says is true. Since the emperor has promised, he will definitely do it. Eunuch Tu, don't worry!"

Wei Yuanqi's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Meng Qiucheng. His words were forcing him to keep his word.He has always been the only one who threatens others, and no one has dared to threaten him yet.This Meng Qiucheng was the first one.

Meng Qiu shrank his neck guiltily, and stood beside Wei Anrong.

Tu Hai explained everything that the Queen Mother did.

At this point, all the crimes of the Queen Mother are finally clear and clear.

On the second day, the Empress Dowager was taken into prison for the Yongle Temple incident.The emperor committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law, and the queen mother and the king of Yong could only die.And must die.

Even if the emperor couldn't bear it, he had no choice but to sit in such a seat.He could not allow royal scandal to spread, he would not allow any stain to stand in his way.

The night fog was thick, and Meng Qiucheng said to the three people on the carriage, "There will be people to meet you all the way. Although the matter is over, the emperor can't allow others to know what happened back then. So if you stay, you will die. You have suffered for many years. Suffering should have been meritorious. The princess can't come, so I asked my official to send her off."

Meng Qiucheng took out a package and handed it to the carriage, "Commander Zhang, this is the money the princess gave you. It is enough for your future life. Remember, don't go back to Chang'an City."

Zhang Zekun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng! I have always heard that Mr. Meng is a stupid person, but now it seems that the hearsay is not credible. Don't worry, Mr. Meng. Zhang understands that what the emperor wants is a smooth and righteous way, and we are just like that." A stumbling block on the road. Zhang doesn't want to die yet!

Thank you princess for me. If we say goodbye today, I am afraid we will never see each other again.Master Meng also take care. "

Zhang Qing also poked his head out from inside the carriage, "Master Meng, please forgive me for offending you so much before. Please say goodbye to Jin Xi for me. Everything before was helpless. In fact, I have always treated her like a sister."

Meng Qiucheng nodded and smiled, and put down the car curtain.

The groom whipped his whip and galloped all the way.Soon, the carriage left Meng Qiucheng behind, and also all the past.

Wei Anrong sat in the carriage not far away, watching all this.

Xia Lian reminded softly from the side, "Princess, it's time for us to go back."

Wei Anrong was silent for a long time, and finally said calmly, "Let's go!"

Yue'er was invisible behind the thick fog, and Jin Xi lay sideways on the bed, looking at Yue'er looming outside the window, her eyes were wet.

The fire in Yongle Temple has been found out, and those innocent souls can finally rest in peace.

The author has something to say: Ran Xue looked at the dumb girl: What do you like about me?

The mute girl blushed, took Ran Xue's hand and shook it lightly twice.

Ran Xue nodded: Do you know what I like about you?

The mute girl shook her head in confusion.

Ran Xue: I like the way you want to scream but can't make a sound!
