Chapter 535 We share weal and woe
Liang Huan turned her head to look at him and asked instead: "What does the emperor think?"
Gao Yang frowned tightly and carefully recalled the people in the court just now. After thinking about his performance, he said: "Just now, everyone in the Lu family made rude remarks to King Yong'an. Others took advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. King Yong'an was in the way of explaining his fault and could not defend himself. In desperation, he had to ask for punishment. "Confined to the residence."
He looked up at his little face with a particularly serious expression: "I have to say that this is indeed a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It not only eliminates Shangshu Ling, but also suppresses King Yongan. Therefore, I." I guess it’s either the King of Nanyang or the King of Changguang, or of course it could be another imperial uncle.”
His childish voice was deliberately calm.
Just like in the court, he sat alone on the large dragon chair without any cover, facing a group of courtiers with unpredictable thoughts.
Even if she is present, she is hidden in the bead curtain behind him, and the courage and momentum she can give him are limited.
He did better than she expected, that was the truth.
Seeing Liang Huan's expressionless face, Gao Yang wondered: "What about what the Queen Mother saw?"
Liang Huan looked at him and said frankly: "What the emperor just said makes sense. , but I think King Yongan is also possible.”
"King Yong'an?" Gao Yang was surprised and confused.
Liang Huan nodded slightly: "Yes, the emperor, don't forget that soldiers are also deceitful."
She lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "However, if it is really what Prince Yongan did, "Why, then we really underestimate you, the imperial uncle."
Gao Yang was confused: "Even if he is really King Yong'an, how is the Queen Mother going to deal with it?"
Liang Huan. Stopping to face him, she focused her eyes, as if looking through him to a deeper and further place.
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether he is King Yong'an or not. What is important is that this incident inspired me. Maybe, we can change our ways."
Change our ways?
Gao Yang frowned and thought: "The Queen Mother wants to say that although we no longer have Shangshu Ling, we still have my uncles, General Hu Lu and General Wang, right?"
Hu Lu Qiguang and Wang Tingyue?
It is true that this is indeed their most powerful supporter.
Liang Wei shook his head and sighed: "I just hope that when I think about this now, it's not too late."
Gao Yang raised his little head, and the doubts in his dark eyes became more and more intense.
Liang Huan just looked at him steadily and said nothing.
*
One day in the court, someone reported that the general Wang Tingyue had a close personal relationship with the traitor Gao Yu.
Immediately, the government and the public were in an uproar.
This happened suddenly and without warning, which was shocking and shocking.
After all, everyone knows that King Guangping committed regicide and rebelled, and the evidence is conclusive.
Wang Tingyue was originally a guilty minister. If the late emperor had not thought of his innocence and leniently pardoned him, he would not have been able to save his life, let alone miss the court.
After that, his official career was promoted by Lu Xu.
The reason why the late emperor appointed Wang Tingyue to the post of General before his death was not only recommended by Lu Xu, but also because of his ability to protect and quell chaos.
But what if this so-called escorting and quelling the chaos was a defection after knowing that King Guangping was gone, and after a battle between baht and baht?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The Lu family was already severely weakened without Lu Xu. Seeing that Wang Tingyue, whom he had single-handedly promoted during his lifetime, was being questioned, it was clear that he had bad intentions.
So someone from the Lu family immediately spoke out in defense.
Seeing this, Liang Huan also took advantage of the opportunity to speak for Wang Tingyue, and even confessed to everyone that the late emperor had told her that during several battles with the enemy in Tuyang and Lianzhou, Wang Tingyue and the late emperor had been through life and death, and they had served several times in escorting them.
Everyone saw that the Queen Mother had moved out of the late Emperor, and it was difficult to continue.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Sun Liangping took out the private correspondence between Mrs. Xu of Wang Tingyue and Princess Lou Yunchu of Prince Changguang.
In addition to exchanging letters, they also met frequently, and even when and where they met were recorded in the book. It is difficult to say that they did not have other plans.
Even the Zixiaoan fire is inseparable from the Xu family.
Sun Liangping also said that according to Xu's personal maid, the Queen Mother, who was still the queen at that time, went to Zixiao'an to pray for the country. One day, Xu went to Zixiao'an with a pale face, and when she came back, she was even more angry and angry. , and he was still cursing in his mouth, as if he wanted to get rid of someone before he could stop. Unexpectedly, a fire broke out in Zixiao'an that night and was assassinated by an unknown man in black.
The queen mother was seriously injured and the princess died.
Now, things get serious.
This was originally related to the case of regicide and rebellion, but now it is suspected of deliberately murdering the queen mother and the princess, so a strict investigation is necessary.
As expected, Xu was imprisoned.
Faced with the personal and material evidence proving Mrs. Xu’s guilt, although Wang Tingyue had no knowledge of it, he could not complain and could only be detained for investigation.
Unexpectedly, the interrogation lasted only two days, and something even more bizarre happened.
The general’s wife, Xu Yunzhu, is the fourth daughter of General Xu Bingcheng.
His other identity is Liang Jiao, the daughter of the criminal minister Liang Cheng.
The fourth lady of the Liang family, Liang Jiao, should have been kidnapped by men in black on the wedding night of her brother Liang Zhang many years ago and drowned in the river.
She is also a sister of the same clan as the Queen Mother of the current dynasty.
As soon as the confession came out, the whole hall was shocked.
The Xu family and Wang Tingyue were married by an edict issued by the Empress Dowager.
In the past, the Liang family was convicted of Liang Cheng's seizure of imperial gifts, Liang Zhang's rape and murder of Lou Xueru, and the poisoning of the former and later Cao family.
Behead those who should be beheaded, and confiscate their homes if they should be.
Except the Queen Mother Liang, everyone else was convicted.
After being a criminal, Liang Jiao not only changed her appearance and became a girl of the Xu Mansion, she was also granted a marriage, and she kept it a secret for so many years.
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, General Xu Bingcheng of the Military Guard hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty.
He confessed that Liang Jiao was indeed the one who was the one and revealed his affair with his cousin Zhang...
Under careful investigation, many old events and truths were unexpectedly unearthed.
For example, the order to pardon Wang Tingyue came from the former and the later...
In order to avoid involving more people, the Queen Mother ordered not to dig deeper.
However, after several days and nights of sleepless investigation and interrogation, the truth was finally found out. The reason why Liang Jiao had a private friendship with Princess Guangping was purely a personal act, and she only had the intention of clinging to her.
As for the deliberate murder of the Queen Mother, the reason was that the Queen Mother had doubts about her identity. She was afraid that her identity would be exposed and she would be convicted, so she had murderous intentions...
In short, Liang Jiao fully explained all the responsibilities and was willing to do so. It has nothing to do with Wang Tingyue.
Even though all this has nothing to do with Wang Tingyue, Wang Tingyue still wrote a letter in front of the palace, saying frankly that no matter what happened to Liang Jiao and his wife, he begged the Queen Mother and the Emperor to show mercy, and he was willing to give up his past merits. In order to reduce the punishment suffered by Liang Jiao.
I even asked him to be punished and punished on his behalf.
Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.
Someone else took over and said, now that the two countries are still at armistice, there is nothing wrong with withdrawing his title of general and taking back his seal of general.
Even if the Queen Mother is soft-hearted and thinks of her as a sister of the same clan, she cannot ignore the law.
Not to mention anything else, the murder of the emperor's heir alone cannot be easily spared.
When the matter was settled, Liang Hu summoned the guilty woman Liang Jiao.
When Liang Jiao was escorted to the front of the palace with disheveled hair and dirty body, Liang Huan was sitting on a high seat.
