The rebirth of the son-in-law

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 and failed to capture the son-in-law.

The Song family of four generations and three fathers began to fall into crisis. Situ Songqian pleaded guilty to negligence, the son-in-law captain Song Fang was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes, and Zhang He, the left supervisor of the Tingwei who was a member of the Song family, was beaten to pieces and was bedridden.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, issued an order to comfort her, and added a thousand households to show that her 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 was not hurt.

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, "Release the criminal, see you!" Pass 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 looked up at the environment. The cell was a cell after all, and it was empty on all sides. There was 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 has excellent soldiers, and they promised to help Song Qian with [-] troops. As for other crimes, you don’t need to confess, just keep asking 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.

The general and Sikong greeted each other, then sat down separately, and the civil and military officials sat in their seats with ease.After a while, the ceremony officer sang the ceremony again, and the emperor went to the hall.All the ministers stood up and greeted the emperor.

The Son of Heaven flicked his long sleeves and sat dignifiedly on the main seat. The bead curtain above his head shook and made a hula sound.He glanced at all the officials who were kneeling and sitting in the Xuanshi Hall. His voice was weak because of Shen Ke's entanglement, but he was full of majesty in the quiet hall: "Where is Ting Wei?"

Tingwei came out, bowed and bowed: "The minister is here."

"You will preside over the trial, and Zongzheng and Zhijinwu will be on the jury." The emperor said in a low voice.

Tingwei saluted, turned around and greeted each other with Zongzheng and Zhijinwu. The three of them sat obliquely under the emperor, with serious faces in front of all the officials. Song Xu, Marquis of Liangxiang, Song Fang, Commander-in-law, and Zhang He, Tingwei Zuojian, see you in court!"

After a while, Song Qian, who was covered in blood in a prison uniform, was carried up, with iron shackles on his hands and feet, his white hair was messed up, and he seemed to be dying.Song Xu was supposed to be much better than him, but Song Min's death hit him too hard. He injured his shoulder and lost a lot of blood.From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Song Qian who was lying on the ground dying. After coming up, he knelt in the court without saying a word.

Song Zhi met Zhang He at the door, and the twenty sticks Zhang He received kept him unable to get out of bed for several days, so when he limped over, Song Zhi was surprised, because his eye sockets were sunken, his face was pale, and he looked It also looks miserable.Among these people, only Song Zhi was a little haggard because he couldn't eat well, sleep well, or worry about his life, while Zhang He was suspected of covering up because of Song Qian's rebellion. The contempt of his disciples, from the day Song Qian was imprisoned, he has been worried every day, worrying that he will be arrested and executed.

The two looked at each other, turned their heads without exchanging greetings, and knelt behind Song Xu after entering the announcement room, lowering their heads in panic.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tingwei turned around and asked the emperor for instructions. The emperor nodded, and he began to ask: "The traitor Song Qian, you have been favored by the emperor for a lifetime, and the court treats your Song family well. Why did you rebel?" ?Privately making the dragon robe and the emperor's six seals, and hiding the armor, this is a serious crime of treason. As Situ Busi, it is dereliction of duty. It is unrighteous to instigate his son to participate in the treason! Killing the Situ mansion More than [-] people are inhumane! Can you admit it one by one?"

Song Qian opened his mouth, and laughed loudly: "The old minister pleaded guilty...whether it's treason or murder, the old minister confessed. Didn't your majesty wait for this day? Haha, I think I can beat your majesty, in case you want Unexpectedly, I didn't kill Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty find out about my matter first." At the end, he pointed at the emperor and shouted angrily, "You are the emperor, the fourth generation and the third lord are so virtuous in the world, how can you not be as good as you?" A rural man who favors eunuchs?"
