Chapter 119 Treacherous and Cunning
Chapter 119 Treacherous and Cunning
The emperor bent his knuckles and knocked hard on the table, showing a faint murderous look.
"This official thought that Zhongyonghou Qin Dezhao should be just like what the staff of Zhongyonghou's mansion said. I'm afraid it's just for some money! It's the first time Qin Dezhao has done such a thing. He didn't expect to be caught by the people below. Those villains below consciously With a big man like Zhongyonghou standing on top of him, he went too far without scruple! Qin Dezhao followed the advice of his aide and killed himself to clear himself up." Dali Siqing said slowly, "What's more... ...The Zhongyonghou Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are the in-laws' families, Qin Dezhao will not really murder his in-laws for his own son's sake."
The emperor felt that what Dali Temple Minister said was reasonable, staring at the red lacquered columns in the hall, his eyes were gloomy: "What you said... makes sense!"
"Before I came back to report to Your Majesty just now, Eldest Prince Qin knelt down and asked this official to convey that he wanted to hand over Yiying's family property from the Zhongyonghou Mansion to the state treasury in order to atone for his father's sins! I remembered what His Majesty praised Eldest Qin for setting an example for the children of the family. Come on, the eldest son of Qin killed his relatives righteously, sacrificed his filial piety to be loyal, he is indeed an upright and loyal person, if we have more sons like this in Dajin, why don't we worry about prosperity!"
"Lu Aiqing... Is this interceding for Qin Lang?!" The emperor heard the meaning of Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin's words, but he didn't take it seriously. "Is this for loyalty and righteousness, or for self-protection? Let's talk!"
"Your Majesty, I believe in His Majesty's vision. Qin Lang is a good boy whom His Majesty praised! I have also been in Dali Temple for many years, and I have seen all kinds of people! But it is rare to see a son who can be as clear and bright as the eldest son of Qin. Look! I am willing to believe that Qin Lang is indeed a rare loyal son, not a treacherous and cunning person!"
The words of Lu Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, were somewhat heartfelt. Qin Lang's eyes were clear and bright, and he was indeed not like those old fritters in the capital city.
The emperor listened to Dali Temple Minister's words, thought for a while, turned his head to Gao Demao and ordered: "Go and ask Xie Yuchang to bring Qin Dezhao to me, and I will interrogate him myself."
"Yes!" Gao Demao hastily withdrew from the hall, and ordered Xie Yuchang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to mention Qin Dezhao.
But after a while, Xie Yuchang came back alone and reported to Emperor Qin Dezhao that he committed suicide in prison.
Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin widened his eyes, and immediately knelt down in fright: "Your Majesty! It's all humble ministers who can't manage well! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor gritted his teeth, and asked in silence for a moment, "Did you leave anything like a suicide note?"
"Nothing was left behind. When the minister left, he was still hot. He must have just died not long ago!" Xie Yu said long.
The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, feeling very restless.
·
Zhongyong Hou Qin Dezhao committed suicide in Dali Temple prison in fear of crime, causing another storm in the capital city.
Sitting in Dali Temple, Qin Lang almost dropped the tea cup in his hand when he heard the news of his father's suicide.
He thought he was fast enough, and when he got the list, he immediately went back to the Marquis Mansion to discuss the statement with his father's aides. He held his father's aides and guards to Dali Temple to plead guilty with his dagger against his neck. Letting this matter to the Heavenly Ting before dark will definitely allow my father to live a few more days.
But, it was still too late.
If the father had committed suicide instead of being silenced, then the father had made the determination to die when he was determined to preserve the glory of the Qin family.
Not long after, Lu Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, came back. He looked at the pale Qin Lang, and said a word of condolence: "Your Majesty has ordered someone to arrest Sun Yiming, Liu Huanzhang's wife and brother. After Sun Yiming is interrogated, if you can elute your father and Liu Huanzhang Suspected of collusion, only Zhongyonghou people can come and go freely, you go back to Zhongyonghou's mansion first, don't walk around indiscriminately!"
Qin Lang bowed respectfully to Lu Jin and said, "Junior, can you take my father back to the house for burial?"
Lu Jin shook his head: "Your Majesty wants to investigate the cause of your father's death, and now your father's body cannot be returned home."
Qin Lang's hand on the side tightened, and he saluted Lu Jin again.
Leaving Dali Temple, Qin Lang asked his followers to report a letter to Bai Jinxiu. He had to go back to the Zhongyonghou Mansion to prepare for his father's funeral, but once he entered the Zhongyonghou Mansion, he might not be able to get out. He told Bai Jinxiu to stay in the Bai family as the Duke Keep filial piety.
·
At this time, the masters of the Duke of Zhen's mansion gathered in the Longevity Courtyard of the eldest princess.
The emperor issued a decree to canonize the Duke of Zhen as the king of the town. It stands to reason that the funeral standard should be raised to a higher level.
But that day in the palace, the eldest princess had already told the emperor that the funeral would be simplified. The emperor gave Zhen Guogong a honorable posthumous title as king, isn't it because the Eldest Princess promised to invite her to the title first? ! Therefore, the Bai family needs to be more cautious and humble in order to be preserved.
The Eldest Princess was not in a good mood, half leaning on the big ginger pillow with passionflower pattern, sitting on the soft couch, fiddled with a string of agarwood beads wrapped around her wrist: "Let's make the funeral on the tenth day of the lunar month. !"
Mrs. Dong nodded. The coffins that filled the yard were placed there. When one saw her husband and son, there were no bones left. The pain was always heart-wrenching. It would be better to bury them as soon as possible.
As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, Mother Jiang hurried in, and after saluting, she said: "Elder princess, there is news that Zhongyonghou committed suicide in prison, and now the second uncle has returned to Zhongyonghou's mansion to prepare for the funeral. Just now the second uncle sent Someone came to send a letter, saying that the second girl should stay in Bai's house and not return to Zhongyonghou's mansion."
Miss Liu couldn't hold her breath, she stood up in shock, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and raised her heart in her throat: "Will this... will this hurt my uncle?"
Bai Jinxiu subconsciously looked at Bai Qingyan who was sitting under the lamp with eyes half down.
Holding the half-cold teacup in her hand, she knew in her heart that it was King Liang who had killed her.
"Second aunt, don't worry, if Qin Lang will be hurt, Qin Lang is afraid that he won't be able to get out of Dali Temple." She put down the cup in her hand, "Qin Lang is an example of the children of the family that His Majesty and the Empress personally praised, and His Majesty will not slap himself. What's more... this time is Qin Lang's upright killing of relatives, loyalty and filial piety, I reckon... when the matter is over, there will be rewards later."
The eldest princess nodded, and understood her nephew, the eldest princess: "A Bao is right, you can rest assured, no matter what, I am still here, and I will never let Jinxiu's son-in-law have an accident."
Only then did Liu nodded, and thanked the princess with tears in her eyes.
Coming out of the eldest princess's courtyard, Bai Qingyan took Dong Shi's arm and accompanied Dong Shi while walking out of the courtyard, saying in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, leave all the dispatches in the house to me, and I will definitely take care of the Bai House." Prison, there will be no trouble, so mother will make good preparations for the tenth day of the lunar new year."
Dong held Bai Qingyan's hand and rubbed it lightly: "You are cautious in doing things, and mother is very relieved, but she is afraid that you will be too tired."
After parting from Mrs. Dong, she asked Nanny Tong on the way to the mourning hall: "The person sent to watch Chunyan, can you tell me there is any movement over there?"
Xiao Rongyan: (smile gradually disappears) Didn't it mean that I will have more roles?
Lu Yuanpeng: I haven't seen Sister Bai's family recently, and I miss the Nth day of Sister Bai's family.
Xiao Rongyan: Yuan Peng...
Lu Yuanpeng: Yes, brother Xiao ordered! Your business is my business! Guaranteed to be done.
Xiao Rongyan: I will borrow the head of your item.
