Tang Xuan

Shangguan Yuan knew that he was going to be finished.The whole court also knew that he, the prime minister, might even lose his life if he sat down to the end.It's just that Shangguan Yuan Zensheng couldn't figure it out, how dare Li Xun not save him?

Not allowing him to think too much, under the leadership of Wang Chaoyuan, the yamen servants of Dali Temple went directly to the prime minister's mansion in the west of the city to take people—it was Shangguan Yuan himself, and Wen Yong, the most important confidant of Shangguan Yuan. .

Wang Chaoyuan did not use torture, Shangguan Yuan knew that no one would help him now, so he simply confessed his guilt.Left and right are just buying prostitutes forcibly, at worst, paying for exile with gold.But he never admitted the murder, he only said that Wan He bribed his servants to escape, but he didn't know where he escaped to.But Shangguan Yuan, who was in prison, never expected that the sky would change.

Shangziyi, the youngest Hanlin in the dynasty, wrote a memorial for the first time. He was not afraid of tigers when he was born. He sued Shangguan Yuan Kaiyang for poisoning Shangguan Yibo in 18 years. , Shangguan Hong fled with hatred and died in a foreign country.

After Li Xun saw it, he knew that he couldn't make a decision, so he immediately sent someone to Furong Garden and reported it to Emperor Ming.After seeing it, Emperor Ming ordered the three divisions to conduct a strict investigation, and Prince Li Xun took full responsibility.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and the whole of Chang'an could not have imagined that such a tragedy happened 16 years ago!The streets and alleys are all talking about what is going on, and the words are vivid and vivid, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.

The dynasty received the imperial decree and invited Shang Ziyi to confront Shangguan Yuan in the Yamen of Dali Temple.Shangguan Yuan was a little panicked at this moment, but what he did back then was extremely clean, and he didn't believe that anyone could get the evidence at all.

"At the beginning, Shangguan Hong poisoned his father, it was the final case of the coffin! You are a yellow-mouthed child, and you want to falsely accuse me based on a story. Wang Shaoqing, Your Majesty has not dismissed me yet, and I am still the prime minister! This is how you defend "" Tang Law "Dignity?" Shangguan Yuan was confident, and Chaoyuan was inevitably embarrassed.

At this time Shang Ziyi stood up from the chair, went to the court, took off his official uniform, knelt down, and said, "My lord, if you speak falsely, you will be struck by lightning. Besides, this person has done such a bad thing, thinking that his clothes are perfect But they don’t know that the Skynet is well-established, and it’s not leaking. The evidence is right in front of us. Please listen to the officials, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao.”

Zhao Moyan nodded, Wang Chaoyuan was also curious, and said: "Hanlin invites you, but it doesn't matter."

Shang Ziyi stood up, and talked gracefully despite his young age: "Xiaguan dare to ask, at that time, Mr. Shangguan was famous for his talents, and he was originally the eldest son. Mr. Shangguan passed away. He should have been the head of the Shangguan family. He Don’t you guys find it strange to do this?”

Shangguan Hong was a great talent who was well-known in Chang'an at that time. When this incident happened, it was regarded as the biggest case in Kaiyang's 18 years.At that time, Zhao Moyan was already the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he also assisted him from the sidelines. With solid evidence, he had to believe that Shangguan Hong had really committed such a treasonous thing.

Zhao Moyan said: "If this matter followed common sense, Shangguan Hong would definitely not do such a foolish thing. But I have handled this case, the evidence is conclusive, and it is absolutely irreversible. Moreover, Shangguan Hong was recruited at the time, so Will loosen the guards and let him escape."

Shang Ziyi said: "How did Mr. Shangguan recruit? It's not that this thief bribed the yamen servants to torture him!"

After all, Zhao Moyan is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and being slandered by Shang Ziyi, he couldn't help but lower his face and shout: "Shang Hanlin, asking the case is the evidence you need! You are so messing around, it won't help!"

Shang Ziyi poked his neck, and said: "According to the file, Mr. Ye and his juniors enjoyed the moon and listened to the music. After Mr. Shangguan toasted, he was fine, but Mr. Ye was poisoned and died that night. The only glass of wine that night was given by someone else. , thus becoming the most direct evidence."

Both Wang Chaoyuan and Zhao Moyan re-read the dossier carefully, what Shang Ziyi said is true, Wang Chaoyuan said: "The dossier has been sealed for many years, how did you know?"

Shangguan Yuan listened to the narration of this half-grown child, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person was somewhat similar to his sister-in-law. He couldn't help being really frightened, and pointed at his face regardless: "Who are you? I have a relationship with you." Enmity? You want to slander me like this?"

Shang Ziyi ignored him and did not answer, and continued: "My lords, you can check separately. It was not only Mr. Shangguan who reported the funeral that month, but also Shangguan Shi, the third lady in the mansion at that time. That night, Shangguan Shi will pretend to be I handed the poisoned wine cup to the gentleman, and asked him to present it to the old gentleman. Mr. Shangguan saw that it was the old gentleman's favorite old wine, so he no doubt presented it."

"Shangguan Yuan used the hands of his own daughter to set blame. He never expected that Shangguan Shi would be greedy for a while, so he left a small mouthful for himself. It was this mouthful that killed him. But he didn't know that it would not be Shangguanyuan. The means of silence." Shang Ziyi had a plan in his mind, and said: "Shangguan Yuan knew that if this matter leaked out, he would be suspected by others, and he would not be mourned due to constipation, so he waited for a while before going to the funeral, and buried the third lady hastily. Several adults , what the Xiaguan said is true, you can order the coffin to be opened for an autopsy. Miss Shangguan’s body is poisonous, which is consistent with the poison that the old man was poisoned at the beginning, which is the physical evidence.”

Shangguan Yuanqiang calmed down, and retorted: "Shangguan Hong's wolf ambition not only killed my father, but also my daughter. But I was sad for a while, and I didn't see that the little girl died of poisoning! You yellow-mouthed child is only old this year. Back then You were not born at the time, who ordered you to tell stories like this?"

Shang Ziyi glared angrily, but refused to say another word.

Zhao Moyan and Wang Chaoyuan whispered a few words, Zhao Moyan slapped the gavel, and shouted: "This is the end of today, let Shangguan Yuan be escorted! After the discussion between the three divisions, we will decide to open the coffin."

The third secretary reported the opening of the coffin to Li Xun. After thinking for a while, he asked Wei Lingzhi, "The deceased is already dead. I'm afraid..."

Wei Lingzhi knew that Lang Huai was deeply involved in this matter, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.The two were worrying about themselves, and the eunuch came to report, and someone from Weiyang asked to see him.

It was Tao Jun who came, and when he came in, he was surprised to see Wei Lingzhi there.But he still practiced the etiquette and said: "The little one has met His Highness and Wei Shilang."

"Why is it you? Where's Ah Huai?" Wei Lingzhi asked anxiously.

Tao Jun bowed and said, "Responding to the servant's words, I want the younger one to bring a message. She and Shang Ziyi have a good relationship, so she should avoid it. Therefore, I sent the younger one to come in the name of a girl, and bring a word to His Highness—said by Shang Hanlin." Please, Your Highness will allow it."

Li Xun nodded in response, before asking again, Tao Jun said again: "My lord, please interrogate the butler Wen Yong, Your Highness, just ask him if he has forgotten the grace of saving his life 20 years ago. To talk nonsense?"

Li Xun and Wei Lingzhi were stunned for a moment, Wei Lingzhi quickly grabbed Tao Jun's sleeve and said, "You mean, Shang..."

Tao Jun interrupted him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, beware that the walls have ears!"

Li Xun couldn't hide his excitement, it's no wonder that Shang Ziyi would sue Shangguan Yuan without his life.He quickly understood why Lang Huai would be unhappy after Shangguan Yuan surrendered, but he immediately realized that after this case, Shang Ziyi's identity would be revealed to the world, and Lang Huai would be convicted because of this, and he said worriedly: "Ah Huai knows what to do after this move." Do you deal with it?"

"My lord said that Duke Huai will come to Beijing soon, so she should stay out of the way for now. So I asked Wei Shilang to give her a crown so that she can celebrate her birthday." Tao Jun smiled, seeing that the two of them were as expected by Lang Huai. Relieved, Wei Lingzhi spat: "Go back and tell your master, I don't have any gift to congratulate her! You have to prepare wine for me!"

"Yes." Tao Jun responded with a smile, saluted and left according to the rules.

Only then did Li Xun feel relieved, and said, "Brother Wei, who do you think the chancellor should be after Shangguanyuan?"

Without hesitation, Wei Lingzhi said, "It should be that barbarian." The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them felt that this was the game.

In seven or eight days, the Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry dug up the cemetery of Miss Shangguan who had been hastily buried 16 years ago, and took out the coffin.After the coffin was opened, the body of the eight-year-old Miss Shangguan, who died at the age of eight, was indeed as Shang Ziyi said, the bones were dark in color, exactly the same as the record of Shangguan Yibo's poisonous hair.Wang Chaoyuan looked at the document submitted by Wu Zuo, and believed most of Shang Ziyi's words.

The trial was reopened, and Wang Chaoyuan asked Shangguan Yuan about it, but Shangguan Yuan refused to admit it.Chaoyuan simply punished him, but Shangguanyuan gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. He only said that Shang Ziyi was talking nonsense, intending to murder him.

When the case was deadlocked, Li Xun signaled Wang Chaoyuan to interrogate Wen Yong.

Wen Yong was silent for a long time, kneeling in the middle without saying a word.

Li Xun coughed lightly, Wen Yong trembled all over, and finally fell on the ground, saying: "Miss Wan He is indeed dead, she personally led someone to bury her in the outskirts of the city. Three servant girls in the mansion were also killed because they ran into her." .It was buried by the villain."

Shangguan Yuan was startled by his words, and he didn't care about the many people here, so he interrupted him: "Wen Yong! Are you crazy!"

How did he know that Wen Yong was ashamed when he asked him, and even burst into tears.Last night, Li Xun personally interrogated him and brought Lang Huai's words. This forty-year-old man was finally willing to tell the truth about 16 years ago in court.

"The second master deliberately asked the lady to pass the wine to the uncle that night, just to prevent others from knowing that he was also involved. Sir, it is indeed wronged. The villain has been favored by the uncle and does not want to repay the favor. For more than ten years, he has been restless every night. The villain is guilty, and the only way to apologize is with death! But please forgive the villain’s wife, she is a country girl, honest and honest, she is not such a beast as a villain.” He is a loyal man, seeing him as pitiful, and once benevolent to him, Wen Yong died a long time ago.He has ignored this kindness for 16 years and has been suffering all the time. When he said it this time, he felt that his shoulders relaxed, and life and death had long been ignored.

Wang Chaoyuan sneered, and asked, "Shangguan Yuan, there are all witnesses and material evidence, what do you have to say!"

At this point, Shangguan Yuan was dumbfounded and almost jumped to rush over.Fortunately, the crown prince came in person today, the yamen servants paid more attention and immediately removed his arms and pressed them to the ground.Shangguan Yuan was still not reconciled, and scolded: "Wen Yong! How can you enjoy the glory and wealth without my promotion? I see through it, and you all want to punish me! If that's the case, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

What else did he want to say, Li Xun gave him a look, and a Jinwu guard stepped forward and knocked him out.

Li Xun sighed and said, "The truth is out, I don't know how Zhao Shangshu and Wang Shaoqing will close the case?"

Wang Chaoyuan did his part, and said: "Give up the official position, and punish severely according to the law! I should write the memorial and send it to the Furong Garden. Your Majesty may have a look."

Li Xun said: "That's fine. I came here today just to see if what Shang Hanlin said is true. It's really shocking, shocking!"

He stepped forward, pulled the crying child and said: "Good boy, tell me, how do you know so clearly? How are you willing to disregard the bright future and ask the past to plead for Mr. Shangguan's innocence?"

Shang Ziyi wiped away her tears with her sleeves, took off her coat in court, revealed the filial piety inside, knelt down to Li Xun, and cried: "My real name is Shangguan, and Mr. Shangguan is my father! Parents cannot share their hatred, how can I do this?" Do not report!"

The prime minister, Shangguan Yuan, was the one who committed the murder 16 years ago. Shangguan Hong's daughter and son not only avenged their parents, but also won Li Xun's appreciation in one fell swoop.But Mu Gonglanghuai had known for a long time that hiding and not reporting was for the purpose of deceiving the emperor, and Ming Huang was rarely furious when he found out in Furong Garden.

Lu Youlin personally delivered the decree that Shangguan Yuan's case should be thoroughly investigated, and those who knew about Shangguan's family and did not report it would be executed in accordance with the law.Returning Shang Ziyi's identity as the eldest grandson of the Shangguan family, after Shangguan Yi thanked him, he and Shang Zixuan buried the ashes of Shangguan Hong and his wife in the Shangguan family's grave, and returned them with tears.

Since then, Shangguan Yi returned to the Shangguan family in the west of the city and became the new head of the Shangguan clan.But Shang Zixuan declined Li Xun's kindness, and still regarded himself as Shang Zixuan, staying in Mugong's mansion to take care of Lang's affairs.

But Lang Huai already knew about this matter, and the Emperor Ming ordered her to go to the Furong Garden with an imperial decree, and scolded her severely.Lang Huai only said that he had never mentioned it to Ming Da, Ming Huang was so angry that he dropped his glass, and said: "Of course I know that Ming Da doesn't know, otherwise how could she allow you to mess around! You have good intentions, but you shouldn't hide it from me!"

Lang Huai fell to the ground, but raised his head when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, I think you already knew it!"

"Your Majesty has so many eyes and ears that I can find out things. I think you must know, so I have the courage to do this!" Lang Huai's eyes widened, and he didn't look sideways, which only made Emperor Ming laugh with anger and hatred. speak up.

The guards at the side couldn't help but think in their hearts, this Duke Mu's face is really not small, not only contradicting Emperor Ming, but also making Emperor Ming happy, seems to be the most important thing.

"But you still deserve to be punished if you don't report what you know!" Ming Huang sat down again with a straight face, thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it for a month behind closed doors, and I'm not allowed to step out of the house."

Lang Huai got what he wanted, and hurriedly said: "I obey the order!"

Leaving from Furong Garden, she sent Tao Jun to deliver a letter from the Ministry of War to Tang Feiyan, and then closed the door, intending to spend a leisurely month in the mansion.Mu Gong was punished for this, but the voice of the people was even higher.

In the midst of this chaos, Li Qian subdued and finally returned to Chang'an.

The author has something to say: there is still a long way to go for the little Shangguan, and the Shangguan family is not so easy to grasp.

It doesn't matter whether Shangguan Yuan lives or dies, Li Xun and Li Qian won't let him live for too long.

Lang Huai took this opportunity to avoid Li Qian's return to Beijing, and slowly figured it out.

Don't look back, the past is broken, let's look at the present.
