Chapter 36 Who Said You Lost Your Value

In the fourth year of Zhengping, what happened to the Song family made everyone dizzy.First, the Song family, the leader of the aristocratic family, married the emperor, Princess Xianning descended to the Song family, and Song Fang, the son of the Song family, married Princess Xianning. The next day, Situ's mansion caught fire for unknown reasons, and more than 200 people died. Even Situ Cheng did not escape.Then Zhang He, the left supervisor of Tingwei's Mansion, was ordered to investigate the case. He broke into the princess' mansion at night to capture the son-in-law but failed.

The Song family of four generations and three princes began to fall into crisis. Situ Songqian pleaded guilty of negligence, Song Fang, the captain-in-law, was ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and Zhang He, the left supervisor of the Tingwei who was a member of the Song family, was beaten to pieces and lay on bed.What is even more surprising is that Song Min, who was once rumored to be missing, appeared in Liangxiang Hou's Mansion, and was later found guilty of treason. Song Min intended to kill his father, disrespected Princess Xianning, and was killed by Princess Xianning on the spot .The Son of Heaven sent his servant Fan Hou to arrest Song Qian for questioning. The next day, Zong Zhengqing went to Princess Xianning to arrest his son Song Fang and sent him to Zongzheng Mansion Prison.

Princess Xianning wrote a letter to plead guilty, but the emperor rejected it and issued an order to comfort him. He also added a thousand households to show that his favor is still there.Afterwards, Princess Xianning presented more than 200 secret letters found from Situ Songqian, involving a wide range of ties, including ministers of the court, generals of the frontier army, and even the general Liang Fu. charges.The emperor was furious, summoned the general overnight, and reprimanded him in the proclamation room.The general sued for injustice, and the next day there were dozens of pleading letters on the emperor's desk, hoping that the emperor would find out.

The emperor was so angry that he fell ill again, and ordered the general to introspect behind closed doors, and asked Zongzheng, Tingwei, and Zhijinwu to conduct a thorough investigation.And Song Fang, the captain's son-in-law in Zongzheng's prison, made it clear that he didn't know anything, didn't participate in anything, and didn't admit any crimes.

Crash.The chain was opened, Zong Zhengqing walked in, looked at Song Zhi who was resting with his eyes closed, smiled and asked someone to serve wine and food, and said loudly: "My son-in-law, who is coming to see you?"

As long as the emperor did not convict Song Zhi for a day, she would still be a son-in-law. Zong Zheng was counted as Princess Xianning's father, so he didn't make things difficult for Song Zhi, and even ordered Song Zhi to live in a better cell.Although Song Zhi was embarrassed, he didn't suffer any harm.

Song Zhi looked up, and a person hidden under the cloak was exposed from behind Zongzheng. She was taken aback, got off the couch, stood up, straightened her clothes, bowed and said, "Let the guilty minister go, Met the princess!"

The cloak was taken off, Princess Xianning's familiar face came into Song Zhi's eyes, the two looked at each other, and fell into silence.Zongzheng winked at the jailer, quietly retreated, and told people not to disturb him.

"Princess...why are you here?" Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, pursing his lips.

Princess Xianning raised her eyes to survey the environment, the cell was a cell after all, it was empty on all sides, only a food table and a couch, on the food table were the wine and food brought by Zong Zhenggang, still steaming.The dark dirt on the ground was piled together, exuding a strange smell, and there were cockroaches crawling in the corners.Her gaze finally fell on Song Zhi. She was still wearing the same clothes when she was taken away. Apart from being a little haggard and a little dirty, there was no damage.

"Sit down and have something to eat." Princess Xianning walked to the food table, and Bai Liu put two clean cushions on it. She knelt and looked up at Song Zhi, her eyes lowered, signaling Song Zhi to sit down.

When Song Zhi sat down across from her, she picked up the jug, poured a cup of hot wine for Song Zhi, pushed it in front of Song Zhi, and said softly, "Drink some wine first, and go to the cold."

Song Zhi looked down at the mist rising from the wine, thanked him, raised his cup and covered his face with his sleeve, and took a sip.

Princess Xianning smiled lightly and said: "I heard that the son-in-law has trouble sleeping and eating in prison, and eats very little. I feel very worried. I came here to see it. It seems that what I said is true."

Song Zhi looked at her, and the words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to say.She fell silent, looking lonely.

"My son-in-law, do you want to come out?" Princess Xianning looked directly at her, her eyes were calm, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.

Song Zhi frowned, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Princess Xianning in surprise, unable to restrain his inner desire for life: "I think about it day and night!"

"Just think about it." Princess Xianning smiled slightly, picked up a chopsticks dish for her, and put it in her bowl, "Tomorrow the Tingwei Mansion will interrogate Song Qian's treason case, you just need to kill him with one bite. The Song family Jing has a good army, and promised to help Song Qian with three thousand soldiers. As for other crimes, you don’t need to confess, you just continue to ask questions. Do you understand?”

Song Zhi quickly understood that although the Song family fell, the power of the aristocratic family is still there. The loss of the Song family by the aristocratic family is a loss, and the growth of the power of the generals may infiltrate the balance of officials in the DPRK and China, leading to a balance of balance. Lean on the general.If Song Zhi killed the general who held military power and participated in the rebellion, plus those letters and weapons of unknown origin, the general will definitely be suppressed, so that the emperor can take back some power, install cronies, and put the court's words Power is firmly in our hands.

"Your Majesty, where do you want to put the Song family?" Song Zhi sighed, feeling the sorrow of the dead rabbit and the fox.Because of this incident, if she made a fuss, she would be ransacked and killed by the sword and axe.She didn't expect her to work hard to change her destiny, but the force of history is so strong that the Song family was finally ruined by the crime of treason.

"Your Majesty has no orders yet." Princess Xianning said softly, "However, I probably guessed it. The mastermind Song Qian was executed, and the accomplice Song Min's death still has to be announced to the world. If you buy your life with money, you can avoid the death penalty, but distribution is inevitable."

"Atonement with honor?" Song Zhi asked in surprise.

Princess Xianning explained: "In the "Chen Law", there is a saying of redemption by nobles. If you commit a capital crime, you can redeem it, and the crime is pardoned first. Also, you can redeem your crime with gold. Two thousand gold can avoid death crimes. Song Xu has nothing to fear It is precisely because of this that he has prepared money in advance, and when His Majesty commits a crime, he will go to Jue Najin and be relegated to the common people and distributed to the frontier."

Song Zhi fell into deep thought.

"So, your worst outcome is to be condemned to death, but you don't necessarily die."

"The Song family will start withdrawing from the court from now on. I don't know if I'm still useful to the princess." Song Zhi felt lost, "I've lost my value. I just hope that if I don't die by chance, please return to the village."

"Who said you have lost value?" Princess Xianning raised her eyebrows and said, "You are still of great use to me. Although I don't know what you can do yet, I will not let you go easily."

She stretched out her hand and brushed Song Zhi's messy hair behind her ears, her eyes lit up, and she said to her with a smile: "Don't worry, you will be fine. And this matter is not as simple as you think , you think it's over, but I think this is just the opening scene."

Song Zhi felt the warmth brought by her palm. She looked at Princess Xianning, and suddenly a starlight fell in her heart, as if she had regained her strength.

Princess Xianning got up and walked to the exit of the cell. She seemed to have remembered something. She stopped and looked back at her with a smile on her lips: "Azhi, His Majesty is very satisfied with your plan. He said that if you were born ten years earlier, he would let you Fenghou worships the prime minister."

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, his mind was confused, he didn't know why Princess Xianning said these words.When she came back to her senses, Princess Xianning had disappeared from sight. Zongzheng ordered people to lock the door, and chased Princess Xianning out.

The bell of Jingyang Tower rang, the palace gate opened, and the head of civil officials was replaced by Sikong, while the head of military generals stood the general. Hearing the salutation of the officials and doctors, all the civil and military officials untied their swords, took off their boots, and straightened themselves. Completely dressed, lined up and filed in, lined up in the Xuanshi Hall, divided into two rows, and more than 100 seats were clearly divided according to their ranks.
