"That's right!" The middle-aged concubine said seriously: "Back then, the late king and I went to the residence of Lord Zhan Xiong and also met Miss Zhan Ling. This woman has no acquaintance with Miss Zhan Ling."
Hearing this, Zhan Ling's face became paler and his expression became more helpless. Liang Xing and all the ministers in the court widened their eyes and showed surprise.
If others say that Zhan Ling is fake, they can also say that it is a frame-up with ulterior motives. But the late king's concubine also said that Zhan Ling is fake, which will inevitably arouse people's suspicion.
After being stunned for a while, Liang Xing finally came back to his senses. He smiled dryly and said: "Madam, Miss Zhan Ling was still young when you met her. Women have changed. After so many years, Zhan Ling
It is inevitable that the young lady will be different from when she was a child. In addition, Miss Zhan Ling was victimized by an adulterer, left homeless, and suffered a lot, so... her appearance will be very different from that of the past."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guest concubine answered: "I understand this, but even if Miss Zhan Ling has grown up, her appearance will not change so much. If Liang Xiang does not believe me, you can
Look at the back of Miss Zhan Ling's neck to see if there is a red birthmark shaped like a maple leaf. If there is, she is Miss Zhan Ling. If not, she must be a fake."
Birthmark? There is a birthmark on the back of Zhan Ling's neck. None of the ministers knew this. Out of etiquette, people did not gather around him, but their eyes were all on Zhan Ling's neck. Zhan Ling was shocked and scared.
, couldn't help but kick back, his little head shook violently, and he stammered: "You...you lied, you have never seen me at all, and there is no birthmark on my body..."
Before she could finish her words, another guest concubine said: "I can confirm that Miss Zhan Ling has a leaf-shaped birthmark on the back of her neck. The late king even specifically mentioned it to me in his spare time, and even said it was a pity.
The late king said that Miss Zhan Ling was innocent and cute, and extremely intelligent, but she had a hidden disease at the back of her neck, which was a flaw. The late king rarely took the initiative to praise others, so I remember this very clearly."
The two concubines only confirmed it, and the other concubines also nodded their heads, saying that they had heard about it too.
All the concubines had the same opinion, saying that Zhan Ling had a birthmark on the back of his neck. Even Liang Xing had to believe it. He frowned and looked at Zhan Ling, who had retreated far away. What did he say?
Without saying anything, he strode up to her, first put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled the collar on the back of her neck with his other hand. When he lowered his head and looked down, his head buzzed.
On the back of Zhan Ling's neck, there is no birthmark at all, it is so smooth that there is not even a mole.
Ah! Liang Xing took a breath and froze, dumbfounded on the spot. He thought he had found the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom who could inherit the throne, but it turned out to be a fake one. He kept her at home and got her as well.
Palace, this is no longer a matter of shame or shame. Looking deeper, my responsibility is not small.
Liang Xing was dumbfounded. The other ministers knew just by looking at his appearance that there must be no birthmark on the back of Zhan Ling's neck, and that someone else was pretending to be one. The ministers who originally supported Liang Xing stopped talking, and Ziyang Haochun also hid far away.
, for fear that he would be implicated, he never dared to mention Zhan Ling as the crown prince.
When Tang Yin saw this, he almost laughed out loud. He strolled up to Liang Xing, with a relaxed look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Liang Xiang, is the Zhan Ling you 'found' real or fake? Now that you have checked it,
Just tell us all!"
Liang Xing came back to his senses and at the same time provoked Lingling into a cold war. He looked at Tang Yin first and then at the concubines. His heart moved and he thought to himself: Could it be that Tang Yin had colluded with the concubines to slander Zhan Ling?
?Liang Xing has been Prime Minister for many years. Every eyelash he pulled out was empty, and he immediately felt that something was fishy.
Now that the palace is firmly controlled by the Tianyuan Army, it can be said that the life and death of the concubines in the palace are under Tang Yin's control. If Tang Yin insists on forcing them to submit, there is nothing the concubines can do.
Thinking of this, Liang Xing suddenly understood. No wonder Tang Yin proposed to enter the palace to confirm the authenticity of Zhan Ling with the concubines. It turned out that it had been arranged long ago. Why didn't he think of this earlier?!
Liang Xing secretly stamped his feet and beat his chest, regretting endlessly, but it was too late to regret now. Without real evidence, how could he dare to accuse Tang Yin of colluding with Concubine Bin to frame Zhan Ling?
Swallowed the breath.
He took a deep breath. He underestimated Tang Yin, or in other words, underestimated the think tank around Tang Yin. He shook his head, bowed to the guests and concubines, bowed to the ground, and said: "This woman has no hair on the back of her neck."
It seems that the birthmark is indeed a traitor disguised as a traitor. I am old and dim-sighted, and I am not kind to others. Madams, please punish me!"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Hua Rong snorted coldly at this time and said: "If you want to punish Prime Minister Liang, you can't just punish the crimes of Prime Minister Liang. All the ministers in the dynasty are at fault! Just a yellow-haired girl can deceive all the ministers. I
Can you still count on your lords for the revival of Gale?"
This sentence was too serious. The expressions of all the ministers changed, and then they all knelt down on the ground in unison.
Tang Yinze stood still and didn't move. Now he was thinking about whether to delve into this matter.
If this matter is investigated, Liang Xing will not be able to escape the blame. This is also a good opportunity to bring him down. But the trouble lies with Liang Qi. Liang Qi is the commander of the two hundred thousand and three navy troops, and he is very resourceful and extremely capable.
He is good at using soldiers and is known as a genius. If he severely punished Liang Xing, would Liang Qi still be as loyal to him as he is now?
Tang Yin was unsure, so he was also a little undecided on whether to hold Liang Xing accountable.
While he was still hesitating, Mrs. Hua Rong suddenly said: "According to my opinion, Prime Minister Liang is already old, and the Prime Minister has a heavy workload. I am afraid that Prime Minister Liang will no longer be qualified for the job."
These words shocked everyone. As a concubine in the harem, Mrs. Hua Rong has no right to participate in the government affairs, let alone the appointment and dismissal of ministers in the court. However, there is no king now, and Liang Xing is wrong.
With her body, her words seemed to have full weight.
Tang Yin was still hesitant at first, but after hearing what Mrs. Hua Rong said, he immediately frowned. This woman's ambition is not only to be the king's wife, but now she is also involved in the government affairs. If she is indulged now, she will be able to pay back in the future.
?
Before anyone else could speak, Tang Yin coughed heavily and said: "Although Prime Minister Liang made mistakes, his mistakes do not warrant dismissal from office. What's more, the traitor is cunning. Not to mention Prime Minister Liang, even the ministers of the entire dynasty were almost deceived by her.
Can Madam still remove all the ministers from their posts?"
Mrs. Hua Rong was stunned by what Tang Yin said, and she winked at him, hinting to Tang Yin that she was helping him now.
Tang Yin understood what she meant, but pretended not to see it and continued: "The concubines in the harem have no right to discuss political affairs, let alone the wife, even the queen has no such rights. This is a rule set by the ancestors of the Feng Kingdom. No one has the right to discuss politics."
It can be destroyed. As for whether Prime Minister Liang is qualified for the post of left prime minister, the officials in the court will discuss and decide."
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Hua Rong was speechless. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Liang Xing and further please Tang Yin, but she didn't know that the flattery was in the right place and landed on the horse's legs. Not only did she not get Tang Yin's gratitude,
It also attracted a series of accusations from him. Mrs. Hua Rong couldn't understand what Tang Yin was thinking, and she was a little upset, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She nodded and smiled and said, "What Mr. Tang said is very true. This is true."
I talk too much."
At this time, all the ministers in the dynasty were also confused by Monk Zhang Er. They didn't know what kind of medicine Tang Yin had taken. Why did he suddenly help Liang Xing, who had always been his enemy? If Tang Yin had not come forward just now, Liang
In all likelihood, Xing's position as leftist prime minister will be lost.
Even Liang Xing himself was confused by Tang Yin. He looked at Tang Yin blankly, not knowing whether to hate him or thank him.
In fact, in addition to Liang Qi's concerns, Tang Yin also had another concern. If he moved to Liang Xing, Wu Yu would be the only one in the court, and his power would be too concentrated, which would easily lead to hidden dangers. Liang Xing would be left with two major leaders.
Factions will continue to fight against each other, and it will be easy for them to escape from the incident.
Tang Yin was very satisfied with the bewildered expressions shown by the concubines and ministers. With a cold face, he shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Following his shout, more than a dozen guards came from outside and stood in front of Tang Yin. They all stepped in to salute and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Catch this audacious thief!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The guards didn't care that there were so many. They swarmed up and without any explanation, they carried Zhan Ling and walked out of the palace.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister, save me... I was wronged..." The person Zhan Ling trusted the most was Liang Xing. When she was pulled out by the guards, she looked at Liang Xing with tears in her eyes and called for help repeatedly.
Liang Xing didn't even dare to raise his head, let alone take another look at Zhan Ling. Now that he couldn't protect himself, how could he dare to intercede for Zhan Ling? Whether she was real or fake, he couldn't interfere in this matter anymore. Now,
She can only blame herself for her bad luck, God is blind.
The guards dragged Zhan Ling out of the hall, and the screams gradually became weaker and eventually disappeared. Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said seriously: "I will investigate this matter strictly and find out why this woman is interested in the situation in Zhan Xionghou's house.
So familiar, why do you have the jade pendant given by the late king? I will give you a clear explanation within three days."
"Ah!" Liang Xing and others stood up from the ground, and said one after another: "Then... Mr. Laotang is responsible for this matter!"
"My lords, you're welcome!" Tang Yin returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
Tang Yin did not lock Zhan Ling in the palace, but escorted him back to his home and handed him over to Dark Arrow for trial.
Even Mrs. Ronghua was very curious about whether this girl was real or fake. Afterwards, she also asked the middle-aged concubine if there was really a red birthmark on the back of Zhan Ling's neck.
The middle-aged Concubine Bin's answer was also ambiguous. She had indeed seen Zhan Ling when she was a child, and she did feel that the current Zhan Ling was very different from the little Zhan Ling she had seen. As for whether there was a birthmark on the back of Zhan Ling's neck, she
I don’t remember clearly. The answer I gave to Mrs. Hua Rong was that it seemed to be yes, but it seemed that there was no.
