Yang Jian snorted coldly and said: "Come here, bring me a bowl with some water in it."
The maid below hurriedly ran out, and soon came in holding a sea bowl with some water in it.
Yang Jian signaled the maid to put the bowl on the table, and Empress Dugu handed over a silver needle. Yang Jian took it and lightly pricked his fingertip. There was a "ding-dong" sound, and a drop of blood fell into the bowl.
Yang Jian looked up at Chu Yunfei and handed him the silver needle in his hand.
Chu Yunfei took the silver needle and came to the front of Haiwan. His body blocked everyone's sight intentionally or unintentionally. He picked up the silver needle and stabbed it gently on his index finger.
A drop of blood fell into the bowl with a ticking sound. Chu Yunfei turned around, wiped the silver needle on his body, and handed it to Queen Dugu.
Queen Dugu took out the silver needle and came to the front of the sea bowl. Everyone gathered around and saw blood floating in the water. After a while, the two drops of blood merged with each other and turned into a big blood mass.
Yang Yong felt a buzzing in his mind and almost fainted on the spot.
Liu Yanmei's face was already pale, and there was no trace of blood on her lips.
The old Taoist laughed and said: "The ancients said well, blood is thicker than water. It seems that the old Taoist is right. This King Jin is really your biological son. Alas, seeing your family together and enjoying themselves, it really makes the old Taoist envious.
ah!"
As he said this, the old Taoist looked at Yang Jian and smiled slightly.
Yang Jian's face was already ashen. Hearing what the old Taoist said, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Thank you, Immortal, for taking the trouble to come over and help us explain our doubts. Next spring, I will definitely allocate some charity money to renovate Ziyun Temple.
Repay the immortal with great kindness."
The old Taoist waved his hand and said: "What's the point? It's just a small effort. Since everything has been decided, the old Taoist will not disturb your family reunion, so I will take my leave."
Yang Jian deliberately tried to persuade him to stay, and wanted to ask the old Taoist to stay and eat some food, but the old Taoist insisted on leaving. Yang Jian had no choice but to do so. He knew that the old Taoist was already half a god, and he could not see ordinary gold and silver treasures.
I had no choice but to send Old Dao out of the palace diligently and send him away with great gratitude.
After sending Master Yunyang away, Yang Jian turned around with an angry look on his face, glared at Yang Yong coldly, and snorted angrily: "You bitch, I don't think you have any future, you have the ability to stir up trouble and sow discord.
It’s really not trivial! Tell me, what crime do you deserve!?”
As he said that, Yang Jian reached out and struck the sandalwood table next to him with his palm. He heard a sudden sound and the sandalwood table was shattered by Yang Jian's palm!
Yang Yong was so frightened that he trembled all over. He threw himself on the ground and knelt down, crying: "Father, we are all children. I believed other people's words. That's why I wronged my second brother. I ask Father to spare this child."
The child is usually on good terms with his second brother, but he is also worried that someone will harm him and wants to avenge him, and my son also has good intentions!"
Yang Jian naturally understood what was going on. He sighed bitterly and said, "Do you believe other people's slander? Okay, let me ask you, whose slander did you believe?"
As he said that, Yang Jian glanced at Liu Yanmei unexpectedly.
Liu Yanmei's face was pale, her whole body was shaking with fear, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, unable to even speak.
How can Yang Yong care about Liu Yanmei at this time? He is a mud bodhisattva and cannot save himself when crossing the river. In the current situation, it is important to put yourself aside first!
After listening to Yang Jian's words, this guy hurriedly pointed at Liu Yanmei and said: "I'm telling you, father, it's this woman who is causing trouble and instigating the relationship between my second brother and me. Father, I know that I have also been deceived."
ah!"
Liu Yanmei's face was pale. After listening to Yang Yong's words, she couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fainted. She pointed at Yang Yong and said: "You, you are so slanderous. You clearly asked me to sell myself in a brothel and take the opportunity to frame King Jin. Now
You actually want to distance yourself? Are you using me as a scapegoat? Let me tell you, I am not that easy to bully! If I die, we will all die together!"
Liu Yanmei had been in a brothel for a while, and she was a woman who had seen the world in the Sui Dynasty. Now after listening to Yang Yong's meaning, she immediately understood that Yang Yong wanted to be alone and use herself as a scapegoat.
Yang Chongyang was desperate. How dare this bastard dare to play tricks on me? However, he had a deep mind and knew that he could not be arrogant in front of Yang Jian, so he calmly said: "Father, this is all because I did not investigate and made such a big mistake.
Please forgive me, father!"
Yang Jian snorted coldly and said: "No investigation? You clearly have ulterior motives and are driven by greed! How could I, Yang Jian, have a son like you!?"
Queen Dugu sighed softly, and her tone was very serious: "Yong'er, the reason for being the ninth-five-year-old is destined by fate. You are the eldest son. Although it has happened since ancient times, it is not a good thing. As long as you are of good character.
How can you not be upright? How could you bear to harm your younger brother by such unscrupulous means? As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, and you have made this matter a storm in the city. Isn’t this deliberately trying to disgrace our Yang family? "
Yang Yong kowtowed to the ground and apologized repeatedly: "My father, the emperor, and my mother are all children, right? A few days ago, when my second brother was in Pingcheng, he killed my uncle's wife and uncle Gudu, and also captured my uncle Cui Changren, the governor of Jiangnan. In my heart,
Some complained about the second brother. A few days ago, my uncle gave Erchen some local products, and Erchen accepted it without much suspicion. Later, after my uncle was caught by the second brother, he immediately sent someone to bring a gift to Erchen.
The message said that if Erchen refused to save him, he would not be able to survive. He hoped that Erchen would remember the relationship between uncle and nephew and save his life. He also said that the second brother is so cruel and ruthless. If he doesn't miss the old relationship, how can he be like me?
Yang family
My own person? Later, there were some rumors, but I actually believed them to be true, and I wronged my second brother. It is an unforgivable crime. I hope my father will remember that I also have good intentions and forgive me this time."
As he said this, Yang Yong grabbed the ground with his head and kept begging for mercy.
Yang Jian let out a long sigh, looked at Yang Yong and said, "Get up."
After all, they are his own flesh and blood, and the broken bones are still connected with tendons. Although Yang Jian understands what is going on, he still has to pretend to be confused. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that Yang Yong, the crown prince, will be deposed?
Setting up a child is not an easy matter. The memorials from those ministers alone are probably enough for Yang Jian to bear.
When Yang Yong heard what Yang Jian said, he knew that his life was saved first, so he hurriedly kowtowed twice before standing up.
Yang Jian looked at Queen Dugu, who asked Chu Yunfei: "Guang'er, what happened when Yong'er said something about the Governor of Jiangnan?"
Chu Yunfei immediately bowed and saluted, and told in detail what he had seen and heard in Jiangnan. Finally, he said that Cui Changren himself had confessed, made a clear account of his crimes, and had signed a signature.
With that said, Chu Yunfei took out a confession he had left that day from his arms and handed it to Queen Dugu respectfully.
In fact, Chu Yunfei had already sent someone to deliver this confession to Yang Jian, but Empress Dugu hadn't had time to read it yet.
Empress Dugu is a well-known virtuous person. She always adheres to women's ethics and never interferes in Yang Jian's government affairs, so she doesn't know about these things. Originally, Yang Jian wanted to suppress this incident. Although Cui Changren was hateful, Yang Jian still planned to put it aside.
The matter is over and there will be no further investigation.
After all, Cui Changren is the younger brother of Empress Dugu. If Empress Dugu knew about the crime committed by this guy, she would be in a dilemma.
So until now, Queen Dugu didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until she read this letter that she understood the reason.
She frowned and read the letter carefully. Her face turned cold and she said angrily: "This guy is so bold! He dares to sell his official position to make money and harm the people! He ruined the reputation of my royal family! Guang'er, why didn't you deal with it on the spot?
Is this guy going to be beheaded and beheaded in public to appease the people?"
After saying that, Queen Dugu looked up at Chu Yunfei, her eyes full of anger.
Chu Yunfei secretly admired her. Queen Dugu was indeed of noble character. She did everything based on the majesty of the royal family and the suffering of the people of Li, and did not show any selfish interests.
He bowed down and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I don't dare to act so boldly. This matter is serious. I hope my father and the Queen will decide."
The meaning of his words is obvious. I am just the general manager of Yangzhou. How can I kill the ambassador to Xinjiang who was entrusted by the emperor himself?
Queen Dugu nodded and said: "If you don't kill this kind of scum, it will not be enough for the people to get angry! It is a scourge that harms the country and poisons all living beings. Your Majesty, I beg you to do justice and avenge the people's grievances!"
Yang Jian was hesitant. After all, Cui Changren was Empress Dugu's younger brother. If he were to kill him, Empress Dugu would still feel uncomfortable. He loved his wife deeply, and although he felt that Cui Changren deserved death, he couldn't bear to make his wife feel uncomfortable.
Queen Dugu saw that he was silent and knew how he estimated her feelings, so she hesitated to speak. She immediately said: "Your Majesty, as the supreme emperor above all people, if you can't make decisions for the people, what will happen in this world?"
Who else can enforce the law impartially? Redress the injustice of the people? The law is merciless, if the emperor forgives Cui Changren's sin this time
, from now on, officials from all over the country will follow the example, who else is willing to make decisions for the people? As a royal family, we can’t make decisions for the people, and we can’t do things impartially. What’s the use of being an emperor? Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you, in one word,
There are countless pairs of eyes watching our entire industry. We must not bend the law for personal gain or tolerate adultery!"
Yang Jian was shocked, took a deep look at Queen Dugu and said: "Queen, you are right. As the emperor, I should dedicate my life to the people. How can I bend the law for personal gain and tolerate adultery? Cui Changren's crimes are heinous.
The crime cannot be punished, I will investigate and deal with it strictly and show no mercy!"
Not only Yang Jian was shocked when he heard Queen Dugu's words, but Chu Yunfei was also shocked in his heart. He looked at Queen Dugu and expressed his sincere admiration. Queen Dugu is indeed a hero among women, a heroine.
Compared to Yang Jian, he has a more domineering and daring manly spirit!
Lan Ling also inherited his mother's blood in his bones. He was upright by nature and willing to take revenge.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look in the direction of Lan Ling, and saw a pair of pretty eyes of Lan Ling looking towards him. His eyes were full of smiles, as if he was pleased and looking towards Chu.
