Chapter 149 Breaking the Face
The Emperor has already met the man who beat the drum and informed Princess Wanning of the imperial edict. In the main hall, the man has already told the story of Princess Wanning in Hezhou. Shake it all out.
When Princess Wanning left Kyoto, it was because she had disregarded human life for her own selfish desires, which caused the Minister of Rites to threaten her with death. The emperor then executed Princess Wanning in public and demoted Princess Wanning, and gave the Minister of Rites the opportunity to Each family has its own explanation.
I thought that Princess Wanning had changed her ways long ago and would no longer do things that harmed people's lives, but she never thought that she was even more reckless in Hezhou than in Kyoto.
Having taken a liking to someone's young man, he kidnapped him without saying a word, and then threw some money to his family, thinking that he had bought his life.
Some people went to the local government to complain, but in the end they all came back without success. They could only endure it and ask their children to be careful and not to be targeted.
They don’t know who Princess Wanning is. They only know that she has a noble status and all the adults in the county government are fawning over her. It can be said that it is easy for her to crush a commoner to death. .
Some people were afraid that trouble would come to their door, so they couldn't bear it, but some people couldn't bear it. From collecting evidence, to finding dens, and then going from house to house to write petition documents, they came up with a joint letter. , just to get to Kyoto City.
Go to the emperor's feet to report this imperial edict.
After all the evidence of Princess Wanning’s crime was revealed, even if a god came, she would not be able to forgive Princess Wanning for her crime.
The emperor dressed up in disguise and informed Li Qun in advance. Li Qun knew that the emperor was coming to his house, so he waited at the door, waiting for the emperor to arrive.
After the emperor arrived, Li Qun did not waste the emperor's time and took the emperor to Princess Wanning. When he was about to arrive, the emperor stopped and said to Li Qun: "Xu Guogong, what happened today I don’t want others to know.”
Li Qun heard the emperor’s words, and he nodded slightly in response to the emperor: “I understand.”
Li Qun’s eyes were calm and he looked at it. With the Emperor's back and Princess Wanning's affairs at this level, the Emperor has no other choice.
Everyone has sued the emperor. If the emperor continues to protect us, it will chill the hearts of the common people.
After all, the prince is as guilty as the common people when he breaks the law. No matter how noble he is, as long as he makes a mistake, he will be punished accordingly.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Princess Wanning lived, after the emperor entered, Li Qun asked someone to guard the door. Since the emperor wanted to keep it a secret, he naturally had to keep it a secret.
Princess Wanning will definitely die today.
"Dong Zuo, have everything in Jiangnan been arranged properly?" Li Qun whispered to Dong Zuo beside him. Dong Zuo heard Li Qun's question and he moved closer quickly.
Replying to Li Qun’s question: “My lord, everyone has already made arrangements.”
"As long as you give the order, the things will be available."
Li Qun heard Dong Zuo's confident answer. He naturally believed in his ability to do things, but this matter was no small matter, so he still had to be cautious. Some.
He has been investigating the matter of Princess Wanning. In recent years, there are many people who want to sue Princess Wanning. He will provide them with all the evidence he has, and someone will understand. Got what he meant.
In the past few years, I have come to Kyoto City to complain, but in the end, I didn't even get to the Dengwen Drum, and died in various ways.
Judging from the people who were murdered, there must be someone helping her behind the things Princess Wanning did.
Li Qun followed the evidence line and found out about the plan of Princess Wanning and the Queen to depose His Highness the Crown Prince. What people didn't expect was that Princess Wanning still did not give up the party struggle after so many years.
Back then, Princess Wanning raised Mian Shou. On the surface, she was greedy for beauty, but in fact, she took the opportunity to form a party for personal gain. She hid it very well. If Li Qun had not investigated the salt affairs case, he would not have known about the Jiangnan Dungeon. , and will not know Wanning’s true thoughts.
Wanning seems to want to use party struggle to overthrow the current emperor, the regime controlled by her former emperor brother. She wants to put the deposed prince in power, but the deposed prince is not favored by the emperor, and he becomes a victim . The deposed prince fell, the empress fell, and those who were hiding in secret to intercept and report Princess Wanning's royal decree suddenly disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world.
All this seems to be a logical thing.
Li Qun thought and glanced back, looking at the courtyard inside. He always felt that what happened here was a coincidence, as if someone was pushing for all of this to happen.
Someone wants him to bring down Princess Wanning, and the person who wants to use his hand to bring down Princess Wanning must be someone who is or has been threatened by Princess Wanning.
Who could it be?
Li Qun didn’t know why, but subconsciously thought of Cui Xiu. Cui Xiu wanted to pave the way for the sixth prince, so the former prince had to go down, so could it be Cui Xiu’s hand?
"I didn't ask you to come in, why did you come in on your own?" Princess Wanning turned her back to the door and couldn't see who was coming in. She just spoke based on the sound of footsteps.
When the emperor heard what Princess Wanning said, he did not stop entering the door. After entering, he closed the door smoothly.
"I announced that you would enter the palace, but you resisted."
"Now that I have come in person, you want to drive me out again. Your courage is comparable to that of a lion and a leopard."
When Princess Wanning heard the emperor's voice, her eyes widened subconsciously. She probably didn't expect that the emperor would come in person.
Princess Wanning stood up quickly, walked to the emperor, knelt down, and saluted: "Wanning sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."
The emperor was high up, with one hand behind his back, and his eyes looked down at Princess Wanning who was kneeling on the ground. There was no emotion in his eyes, and he said: "Since you kneel down."
"Then you kneel down. "Come on."
When Princess Wanning heard the emperor's words, her eyes paused, and she probably guessed something. She had a hunch that the emperor would not come easily. Yes, something must be wrong.
"Brother Emperor, you can't listen to the slanderous words of those outsiders. They are all lies to drive a wedge between you and me."
"Wan Ning has always been with Brother Emperor in his heart."< br>
Wan Ning has also heard a lot of rumors these days. She knows that someone is trying to pull her off, but she can't get off so easily.
When the emperor heard what Princess Wanning said, he looked at Wanning with his lowered eyes and said, "Really? You are facing me."
The emperor said, his face There was a slight smile on his face. The smile was not happy, but rather mocking, mocking Princess Wanning's pretentious words.
"Yes! Brother Emperor, I have grown up beside you, what do you want me to do."
"I will do anything you want."
"Isn't this considered towards you?" Princess Wanning said sincerely when she heard the emperor's words.
When the emperor heard Wan Ning's pressing words, his expression changed, and he sneered with a calm face: "Towards me?"
"Then how could you instigate the prince to do this? Did I poison you?”
“It’s still very poisonous”
