Chapter 292 Exiled the male protagonist’s sister-in-law 65
Seeing this scene, the courtiers thought that as a hero, the emperor treated the two brothers of the Liu family differently, but the three princes... I heard that the third prince has not been doing well recently. Your Majesty is so good-looking. The second prince is mediocre, but the fourth prince has been performing well both inside and outside the palace recently.
I just don’t know why Your Majesty summoned the three of them alone?
The expressions of the other princes who entered the hall early also changed. What were these three doing with their father behind their backs?
No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all stood up and saluted. After the ceremony, Liu Jing and Liu Zong sat next to the ministers, and the three princes also sat back in their seats. On the surface, nothing could be seen.
Lin Zhi looked at Liu Zong. He was right opposite her. Liu Zong nodded slightly towards her. She thought to herself that it seemed like things were done.
The emperor sat at the top and praised Liu Jing and Liu Zong's achievements at the border with a happy face. The ministers agreed, and no one said anything bad. After all, today's celebration banquet is the home of the two of them. The generals who had been defeated one after another at the border did not dare to rebel at this time no matter how bad their mood was when they heard that they were missing.
With outstanding achievements, the rewards are naturally rich, including gold, silver, treasures and reputation, which makes people jealous.
Although the Liu family was also happy, they were not excited. Thinking of Liu's father and eldest son|eldest brother who were framed and died in the war, they couldn't be happy. However, after the emperor finished speaking, they all came forward and knelt down in gratitude.
The queen also praised Liu's mother for her hard work, raising two outstanding sons, and not complaining about herself when she went to the border. Lin Zhi was also praised, and Liu Yang who stayed at home was rewarded.
At the same time, the queen also took this opportunity to help Lin Zhi clear her name and gave birth to a child for Liu Zong, asking him to treat her well.
Liu Zong was naturally grateful, and Lin Zhi's face turned red as he thanked the Queen.
After finishing speaking, several people stepped back and sat back down.
As soon as they sat down, the generals who had been waiting for a long time couldn't wait to get up and asked the emperor to ask the culprit Ling Rui about his crime, and said that his defeat at the border was all his fault. If he hadn't deliberately spread the news Pass it to the Huns, and they will not lose.
Liu Jing and Liu Zong's reward stimulated them, but they also knew that their abilities were indeed inferior to others, and they couldn't beat Liu Jing when he gave them a chance... Now they don't seek merit, only no fault.
I hope His Majesty will not directly remove them from their posts because of their successive defeats.
The emperor was really angry with these generals. They were all generals in their forties or fifties who had fought in wars, but they couldn't even compete with a young boy. So now he had no one to use except the Liu family. No one has the ability.
I committed a crime and did not want to make progress. Now I am still trying to shirk responsibility. The more I look at it, the more annoyed I become.
"You were also harmed by Ling Rui, so the border affairs will not be investigated. As for Ling Rui, you have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the things you have committed are unforgivable, so you will be executed outside the Meridian Gate in one month. Let the whole city come and watch.”
Everyone shouted: “Your Majesty!”
These people deserved to be killed by a thousand cuts, and the atmosphere in the hall was high.
The imperial concubine trembled, and the tea cup in her hand was scattered all over the place, clattering to the ground. Her face was pale, and the concubines or ministers' wives who were close to her couldn't help but look over.
I was filled with grief when I thought of my cousin who had been playing very well since childhood and was beheaded, as well as my aunt and uncle who knelt down and begged her for her son’s gray hair these days.
When the third prince heard his father's decision, he subconsciously looked at his mother and concubine, fearing that she would not be confused and do something at such a critical moment. Fortunately, her mother and concubine were not confused.
Of course the imperial concubine did not dare. Although she wanted to protect her cousin, she was unable to do so.
Now that her cousin's beheading is irreversible, she will naturally not get into trouble again. Now she is even more worried about whether His Majesty will blame her and the emperor after this incident.
Thinking of this, I suddenly lost all thoughts of sadness and just thought about how to calm the emperor down.
There was also Yu Wan, who couldn't help but look over, looking for Yu Wan's figure. She was Liu Jing's fiancée. The two of them lived together and shared weal and woe, so they had different statuses in Liu Jing's heart.
If she can make Liu Jing have a good relationship with the emperor and intercede with the emperor, your majesty will surely be less angry with the emperor for the sake of Liu Jing. Yes, she contacted Yu Wan not only for Ling Rui, but also for Huang Er.
But after looking for a long time, he didn't see Yu Wan's figure, and he frowned immediately. Today's celebration banquet, she is still Liu Jing's fiancée, it is an extremely honorable thing, won't she come?
Turn around and ask the palace maid to take a look. The palace maid nodded, took a few steps back and went to look for someone.
Here, Mr. Yu also found that his legitimate daughter was missing, and his heart trembled for some reason. However, he was separated from the men's seat and couldn't pass for a while. He couldn't ask about the situation. He looked over there frequently, hoping that his wife See your own eyes.
His wife saw it, but pretended not to see it. Who cares what Yu Wan did.
After a while, the palace maid came to ask her.
Moreover, she noticed that the palace maid seemed to be a noble concubine, and thought that Yu Wan was also capable. Her father was a fifth-rank official, and she actually managed to hook up with a nobleman in the palace on her own.
She shook her head and said she didn’t know. She just said that she went out to use the toilet but never came back. Anyway, she really didn’t know.
The palace maid nodded and left.
She frowned. As her stepdaughter, she should not create any trouble that would implicate her and her two children.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask." The imperial censor stepped forward.
The emperor asked him to speak, and the imperial censor said: "The two generals of the Liu family have indeed made great contributions to our great Zhou Dynasty. General Liu has also been confirmed to have been framed and wrongfully accused. The tragic death of 30,000 troops is not his fault. I also I have great admiration for General Liu and the two young generals.”
“The house was raided that day, and Liu Jiacai. The treasure disappeared mysteriously and has not been found yet, but is it kept secretly by the Liu family? "
"This matter is related to the reputation of the Liu family and whether the Liu family is loyal to His Majesty."
Others heard this. Thinking of this incident, after all, the Liu family's mistress and daughter-in-law were searched before leaving Beijing because of this incident, which was very humiliating.
Mother Liu immediately tightened her handkerchief and turned pale. They themselves didn’t know what was going on.
He looked nervously at his two sons, fearing that His Majesty would not let this matter go and scold him.
Liu Zong and Liu Jing did not speak.
The emperor said: "The thing has been found. It has nothing to do with the Liu family. They were wronged." As he said this, he glanced at Yu's father, whose face was wrinkled and looking in the direction of the female family members.
Everyone was very surprised. Found it? Why didn't they get any notice?
The few princes who learned the truth did not say anything. This matter is too mysterious. The less people know about it, the better. It is best to explain and summarize the Liu family’s affairs in one sentence. The truth is already known anyway. .
Seeing that the emperor obviously didn't want to explain, everyone wisely stopped asking.
At this time, everything that should be said at the celebration banquet was said, and the emperor stood up and left. Liu Zong and Liu Jing both guessed that he was in a hurry to interrogate Yu Wan. Sure enough, after a while, Liu's father was also arrested by the palace officials. Call away.
Others did not pay attention and were still talking and celebrating.
