Chapter 63 The Golden Palace(1/2)
There was a room full of people standing or kneeling in the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Yongde, who was sitting behind the desk, held his forehead against his head and shook his head. He really didn't expect so many people to be escorted.
The assassin who wounded his mother with a hidden arrow fell to his knees.
Early in the morning, Eunuch Sun, who had injured Yan Jue, knelt on the ground.
Li Cheng brought two princes from Nanchu and stood aside.
There was also Wei Guogong who got wet and had not had time to change his clothes.
In addition, the concubine-in-law knelt outside the imperial book and took off her hairpin to apologize.
Showing your chips all at once is really no ordinary fuss.
It was just like what my mother said, it was a tough battle.
Emperor Yongde understood that there was an emotional stalemate and whoever spoke first would lose first, so he still calmly reviewed the memorial on the table in his hand.
In a contest where only each other's gasps could be heard, Emperor Yongde's burning eyes swept across the inner court, not in any hurry to settle the matter.
Another half an hour passed like this, and finally he knelt down outside the hall reluctant to leave his daughter. The Duke of Wei, who had been struggling for a long time, cleared his throat.
Everyone in the room has their own secrets, how can they be clearly stated in a few words?
Now that she is in the first grade of junior high school, she is not afraid of facing the fifteenth grade. It is better than having her daughter continue to kneel outside the hall!
How could the only daughter he had held in his palms and cherished since childhood endure such a crime?
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Although Wei Guogong had asked the nun outside the door about what was going on before he came, he could only pretend to be confused and asked.
It would be a big deal to break the fast, it would be a big deal to hurt the palace maid, but Emperor Yongde had never treated his daughter like this for a long time. He spent half his life in honor and favor. When did he let his daughter kneel outside the palace to wait for sin?
A smile appeared on Emperor Yongde's lips, fearing that he might not speak, so he asked flatly: "Does the Duke know this Eunuch Sun well?"
Wei Guogong was suddenly stunned. He did not expect to be asked so straightforwardly, so he asked tentatively: "Is this Eunuch Sun an attendant in the concubine Yue's palace?"
"My lord, you don't know?" Emperor Yongde sneered, "Why don't your lord see what this is?"
Eunuch Qin presented the record of Eunuch Sun's dental registration at the government office before entering the palace to Duke Wei. The last record before entering the palace was in the Duke of Wei's palace.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of servants in this residence. How could I possibly write down all of them?" Wei Guogong waved his hands in fear.
Eunuch Qin leaned close to Wei Guogong's ear and whispered: "The Holy Master asked us to ask who invited this purifier? Why are the six roots uncleaned?"
Wei Guogong looked back at Eunuch Qin in fear and anxiety. He seemed to have aged dozens of years instantly and his knees were weak. He knelt down on the ink jade gold bricks in the palace, and the words he wanted to say again seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Eunuch Sun, whose real name is Sun Yi, was originally a personal guard in the palace of the Duke of Wei. After being escorted several times, he became intimate with his daughter who had not yet entered the palace. The daughter even ignored the dissuasion and made a private life.
The day before my daughter entered the palace.
That sword was made by his own hands.
Three months later, he sent Sun Yi, who had recovered, to his daughter's palace to be the lowest-ranking cleaning father-in-law, and made him see his daughter every day as punishment.
They have been living peacefully together for more than ten years? How come they are causing trouble at this juncture?
Eunuch Qin bowed his body and waited with his ears close to his lips. After a long time there was no response and asked again: "My lord, can't you remember?"
"It was with my own hands..."
Eunuch Qin understood and asked again: "Why was he sent to the palace if he had made a mistake?"
"Punishment." Wei Guogong was angry.
"What is the punishment for what you have committed?" Qin Gonggong asked again.
"The punishment for seducing a young girl." Wei Guogong hesitated.
"Duke, are you sending criminals to the palace?" Eunuch Qin couldn't hide his sneer no matter how calm he was.
"..."
After Eunuch Qin finished asking the questions, he returned to the emperor and whispered. At this time, Li Xia also entered the imperial study after reporting.
Everyone looked at Li Xia carrying a wooden plate covered with white silk. Eunuch Qin explained it in his ears before handing it over and turning around to leave.
The reserved and calm Eunuch Qin was secretly shocked when he heard the number of people reported by Li Xia. The tray in his hand seemed to be worth a thousand pieces of gold. He tried his best to restrain his trembling hands and tried his best to return to normal volume.
"Your Majesty, these are the waist medals of corpses from the front and back yards of the Yaoguang Palace. There are a total of fifty-two waist medals for palace maids and twenty-nine waist medals for chambermaids."
There was silence that could be heard as no one wanted to speak when Emperor Yongde was brewing his anger.
He really wanted to throw something to express his anger.
The deceased is too serious to throw away his waist badge, nor can he throw away his beloved Bai Yuwenzhen and Reclining Buddha Tao Inkstone.
He could only grab the purple wolf brush in his hand and throw it out.
"Look at the good daughter you raised!" Emperor Yongde asked angrily, frowning.
"Your Majesty, how can you blame Concubine Yue for this? Concubine is not a martial artist." Wei Guogong knelt forward and was stopped before he reached the royal table.
"She has lips as red as rouge, she has jade hands with fingers like onions, and a pair of eyes that can speak. Tell me what she can't do?" Emperor Yong De's deep voice reminded every sentence.
You don't need to do it yourself to kill someone.
Duke Guo of Wei sat down slumped. These words he had said in order to recommend his daughter were a blow to his dignity.
He never expected to reach this stage. He thought that just by going through the motions, his daughter could be crowned a noble concubine again...
Now it seems that he is the focus of today!
Wei Guogong took a breath, gritted his teeth and admitted in a depressed voice. "The humble minister is guilty of not being strict in running the family. I beg your Majesty to forgive me."
Seeing that the three princes of Southern Chu were also there, he should have thought of the emperor's plan!
It's too late, we can't lose more!
He has to keep his military power to have a future.
His daughter kneeling outside the study made him confused...
Now he has thought that his daughter's kneeling may have been deliberately arranged by the emperor.
"Your Majesty thinks that the issue of royal blood can be solved by simply lax governance?" Emperor Yongde sneered. After he recognized this, it was really hard to answer what he was going to say. He raised his eyebrows lightly and asked the question lightly.
"Your Majesty! Yu'er looks so similar to you, how could it be possible..." Wei Guogong knelt down again.
His grandson! His tall and handsome grandson! How could he be the son of a lowly bodyguard?
"Why not?" Sun Yi, who was suppressed on the ground, said with a gloomy smile, very satisfied that Wei Guogong was shocked.
After enduring it for more than ten years, he finally waited until this moment, where he could die in peace!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Guogong wanted to get up to hurt someone, but he asked the guards to kneel back down. The force was so strong that the sound of cracking bones as the diaphragm hit the ground was clearly heard in the room.
Sun Yifu lay on the ground and still laughed with a numbing sharp laugh, and then laughed with a man's high spirit. He stared ferociously and said provocatively: "Pretend! You don't know how to pretend? Aren't you pretending now? Pretending to be a loyal minister,
Pretending to be filial? Tell you, it’s mine! It’s mine!”
After speaking, Sun Yi laughed wildly without any secrets. How many people in the world can share a woman with an emperor?
His life is worth it!
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers looked at each other without any trace.
It’s over! Could it be that he didn’t die on the city wall, but was going to die in the palace?
After hearing what I shouldn’t have heard, do I still have a chance to survive?
Next to him, Li Cheng nodded lightly without any trace, and used his sleeves to cover up the gesture of not panic. The two of them closed their eyes seriously and adjusted themselves, constantly talking to their hearts and comforting themselves. Li Cheng didn't panic, so what were they panicking about?
Wei Guogong looked at the arrogant Sun Yi. Could it be that his sword was really wrong?
Then what has he been planning for most of his life?
The furious Duke Wei vomited a mouthful of old blood in the palace.
As soon as he vomited blood, Sun Yi laughed even more crazily and continued:
"This is what you get for being greedy for power and breaking up a good relationship. Did you know that the few days after you are summoned are the days when we can have ridiculous fun? Father-in-law! I thank you! Thank you for letting me enter the palace so that I can be there at any time.
My beloved woman!, tell me how these palace people died?"
Even though Sun Yi's head was trampled on the ground by the guards, he still laughed extremely ferociously and said: "Of course, our good deeds have been exposed, so we have to silence them! Only dead people will not reveal secrets!"
"Shut up!" Wei Guogong roared with all his strength.
The concubine outside the door looked calm. She heard everything about what happened inside the door, but she never regretted it.
She didn't enter the palace voluntarily, but the more than ten years of harmony she had with Sun Yi as a couple was considered a profit for her!
Without Sun Yi, who could survive these years of loneliness in the palace?
Even if she is going to die, she is not afraid...
My only concern is the child who has not yet grown up...
"The palace is in filth and chaos, does the Duke have any excuse?" Emperor Yongde looked at the Duke of Wei with blood flowing from his lips. What he remembered was the frail appearance of Li Ying who died of blood loss after childbirth that day. He couldn't help but close his eyes to experience the pleasure in front of him.
Thanks to Yan Jue, Yaoguang Hall made such a fuss today and made another new trick.
To be continued...
