She thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is guilty, the daughter of the people is willing to die."
Although this girl is usually quite stubborn, she was still influenced by the sisterly love. At this moment, she heard a woman's voice coming from outside the palace.
"Miss Liu spoke too early, the damn person is here"
When the civil and military officials heard this voice, they couldn't help but look at each other. There was a commotion in the hall. Everyone was wondering who this wild girl who didn't know the heights of the world dared to make a loud noise outside without being informed.
Shao Yan was also surprised, and thought to himself, this voice sounded familiar, and even felt like he had heard it before, but he just couldn't remember where he heard it.
At first, Bai Ruxue thought it was some desperate palace maid who was trying to trick her. You know, offending Tianwei is a capital crime. She didn't want to see an innocent life end. But just when she was about to go out to see what happened, she saw
Miaoshan pushed Cao Kun and Yun He walked in from outside the main hall. At first glance, Cao Kun and Yun He were tied up with big flowers. Although their clothes were new, they were stained everywhere.
Mud, sewage, and a sour smell
The ministers suddenly lost their composure, or they simply couldn't believe their eyes. They thought that the proud head of the country in the past was no better than a beggar on the street. What was even more unbelievable was that such a high-ranking man was now no better than a beggar on the street.
The powerful minister is now in the hands of a girl. Of course, they don't know Miaoshan's true identity. This girl is a well-known killer. It is easy to deal with two people.
In fact, Miao Shan's sudden appearance really surprised Shao Yan. However, when he thought about it, this girl used to be a professional killer, and being elusive has always been her specialty. However, Shao Yan never expected that she would bring Cao Kun and Yun He together.
Two loaches were delivered to my door
Miaoshan escorted the father and daughter to the front of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, when General Mo led people to patrol the mountain yesterday, he found two of them wandering around the mountain in a ghostly manner. After an investigation, it was found out that these two people were...
They are people wanted by the court. Yun He has already confessed everything, and the general found this on them." After that, she took off the baggage from her back and handed it to Shao Yan from Bai Ruxue.
Shao Yan opened it and took a look, only to see a large number of banknotes inside. Each banknote had a minimum denomination of one hundred taels and a maximum of five hundred taels. The total amount added up to no less than one million taels. It was a huge amount, equivalent to
Donglin State's total treasury income for one month, Shao Yan poured all the banknotes on the ground and accidentally found a letter inside. He opened it and found a topographic map of Badaling, with records on the back.
The deployment status of each defense zone leading to Badaling
This map was drawn by Shao Yan himself, including the deployment of the sentries, and the defense change process was also arranged by him. A few months ago, the reason why the Chu-Liang coalition was unable to capture Badaling was because, in addition to the unity of the Donglin army and the people and the common hatred of the enemy, the key
The reason lies in the rugged terrain and unpredictable tactics in this area. These things may seem ordinary, but they are all top military secrets. Unless someone is close to the emperor, it would be difficult for ordinary people to obtain these two things.
Damn it, this old guy clearly wanted to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. Shao Yan was furious, shining a fierce light directly on Cao Kun's face, and shouted: "Cao Kun, I have always regarded you as my relative, but you want to take these
He used the object to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what else can you say?"
Cao Kun was frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I was confused for a moment, so I was bewitched by Yun He. Please forgive me for the sake of Xuan Jiao. I will definitely take away my merits. I will never
"I have failed the emperor's favor"
"Spare your life?" Shao Yan snorted coldly: "Since you entered the court and became an official, you have done countless things in private about buying and selling officials. Don't think I don't know. On the surface, you actively responded to the imperial court's fundraising slogan.
In fact, it is to enrich your own pockets. I just think that you are my father-in-law, so I have indulged you many times. I never thought that not only did you not know how to restrain yourself, but you actually did such a heinous and unethical thing. Shouldn't I kill you?
What?"
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. These are framed and framed by others because they are jealous of me. Your Majesty, please do not listen to the villain's slander," Cao Kun argued.
Your mother, I don’t think you shed tears without seeing the coffin. Shao Yan immediately made a gesture, and Bai Ruxue immediately presented a picture to Cao Kun. Cao Kun opened his eyes wide and looked at it, and suddenly his face turned red, but he saw the picture above
It clearly depicts him drinking with a few friends and having a good time in a brothel, and each scene records the conversation between them at that time, most of which were about using money to buy an official position.
, all available
"Come here, Cao Kun immediately pulls out of the Meridian Gate and kills - stands - kills." Shao Yan stood up and said word by word. Four imperial guards quickly walked in from outside the palace and pulled Cao Kun out.
, Cao Kun did not struggle or cry out for injustice, so he died convinced.
Those pictures just now were all followed and drawn by the female Jinyiwei of Shaoyan faction. Not only Cao Kun, but also every minister here recorded it. When the ministers of civil and military affairs saw that their whereabouts had been monitored by the emperor, all of them were frightened.
Trembling, especially those who have done illegal things
"The sage has a saying: Those who eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor should do their best to benefit the people. I have no intention of spying on a certain minister. As the saying goes, if you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow. As long as you do your best
If you want to be a good official, I will keep it in my heart. You are indispensable for promotion and promotion. On the contrary, if anyone has evil thoughts, then, I'm sorry, I will not only take back this black veil on your head, but also may
Even this head on your head will be taken away," Shao Yan said seriously.
The ministers did not dare to speak, and the entire hall instantly became eerily quiet.
Shao Yanfu turned his gaze to Yun He again and said coldly: "Yun He, if I remember correctly, you still owe me two heads. I thought you would find your way back, but it's a pity that you are still stubborn.
If it doesn't work, I remember that you have served the queen, so I will leave your body intact." After saying that, he waved his hands, and several imperial guards did not tolerate Yun He struggling and crying, and forcibly took her out for execution. This was also what Shao Yan said in this era.
, the first time this method was used to execute a prisoner
"Liu Meng listened to others' suggestions and almost made a big mistake. He should have been severely punished, but considering that he was also deceived by Yun He, I will temporarily punish you by grounding you at home for a hundred days."
This kind of treatment is reasonable and everyone is convinced.
…
After the morning court, the ministers exited the hall in an orderly manner. Deng Bingtang and Li Changsheng walked together. The two walked and chatted along the way. Unknowingly, they walked out of the two palace gates and suddenly heard a clear voice from the front: "Dad——
"
The two of them raised their heads at the same time, only to see Deng Ling'er running over from the front with a smile on her face. This girl had been guarding outside since early in the morning. The moment she saw her father, she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.
"Ling'er?" Deng Bingtang was surprised and happy. Three steps turned into two steps to meet him. Deng Ling'er skillfully ran into his father's arms. The father and daughter hugged each other and cried excitedly. Li Changsheng saw that their father and daughter were finally reunited.
, feel happy for them from the bottom of my heart
Afterwards, Deng Bingtang led his precious daughter back to the house. When the servants learned that the eldest lady had returned, they hurried to the back garden to clean up the best room. Others were busy serving tea and water, and heating hot water for the eldest lady.
While taking a shower, a few clever servants simply hung up firecrackers outside the door... In short, the entire Deng family was very busy.
After being separated for more than a year, the father and daughter talked constantly when they met. They chatted from day to night, and from night to dawn, without sleep or fatigue. From the time Deng Ling'er first left home to the present, every detail in it was
Not letting go, the two talked and laughed, were happy and cried. Deng Ling'er regretted that she had missed so many bizarre and wonderful days, while Deng Bingtang felt even more sorry for her living a poor life in the mountains.
The next morning, Deng Ling'er suddenly felt sleepy because she had not slept all night. Unexpectedly, just when she was about to lie down to rest, a servant knocked on the door and reported that it was the female official Mu in the palace who wanted to see something urgent.
Although Deng Ling'er felt sleepy, she heard that someone was looking for her in the palace, so she quickly put on her clothes and went to the hall, only to see Mu Ying walking back and forth in the living room anxiously.
"Sister Mu, why are you so panicked?"
Seeing Deng Ling'er arriving, Mu Ying hurriedly stepped forward and took her little hand and said: "Ling'er, something happened to the queen."
Deng Ling'er trembled and asked in surprise: "What happened?"
"The Empress committed suicide last night by hanging. Fortunately, she was discovered early by Sister Ruxue. However, the Empress is still in a coma and the doctors are helpless. Your Majesty specially ordered me to come to invite you."
Deng Ling'er frowned and asked puzzledly: "Why is this? When I went to pay my respects to the empress yesterday, she was still fine. Why did she do it today-"
Mu Ying didn't say much, took her hand and walked straight out. The two got on a sedan and soon arrived at the palace gate. Deng Ling'er was eager to save people. Before the sedan could stop, she hurriedly opened the curtain and walked quickly
rush into the palace
…
The sky was clear and cloudless. From time to time, a line of egrets flew from the distance. They flapped their wings and wandered back and forth in the sky above the palace. Suddenly they flew straight towards the blue sky.
The imperial doctors in Weiyang Palace ran out of the room in a panic one by one. To be precise, they should have been driven out from the room, and Shao Yan's curses could be heard behind them.
"Get out of here, you bunch of useless quacks, all of you can only say depressing words. What's the point of keeping you? If I can't cure the Queen's disease, I'll make you all laid off."
Deng Ling'er walked too hastily and was accidentally knocked to the ground by an imperial physician. The imperial physician quickly apologized to her. Deng Ling'er smiled faintly and then slowly walked towards the room...
