There is a fake demigod in the East Palace
Chapter 109 Judgment
The queen's words reminded Ye Zhaoling of her existence.
"Almost forgot about you, Your Majesty." Ye Zhaoling was still half-kneeling on the ground. He swallowed the blood foam in his mouth as if he had just noticed the Queen just now, and continued what he had just said: "I won't take it from you by killing your sons and relatives." The throne, can you sit comfortably? You probably haven’t told everyone that Emperor Mingde was poisoned by you yourself, right?”
Ye Zhaoling's words caught everyone's breath in an instant. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the status of the national teacher that was sensational, or the queen's killing of the son was more frightening.
The queen's murder of her son to seize the throne is unacceptable to the world no matter what era it is placed in.Did Ye Zhaoling tell the truth today?Not really.
Some people have been kept in the dark from beginning to end, while others have seen all this clearly.
At this moment, the Fengying Hall has been controlled by special agents armed with live ammunition, and it is safe for the time being. The military and political representatives who were eager to escape reluctantly stayed.The rights of the royal family and the government ebb and flow, and there are irresolvable conflicts between them, always looking for opportunities to weaken each other.
"I didn't expect you and my ministers to fall into such a situation." Ye Zhaoling accused the queen in public, but the queen didn't seem to be affected.She looked at Zhong Yu with compassion, and the sadness in her eyes didn't seem fake: "Zhong Yu, I'm really sad."
The empress wasn't talking about the scene, she recalled the details of being side by side with Zhong Yu, and felt a little melancholy and regretful in her heart.She knew that Zhong Yu had set off a bloodbath 200 years ago, but she believed that there was no need to be suspicious of a suspect. Although she was on guard against him, she was never willing to speculate on his intentions too much.
But I didn't think about it, and still couldn't get a happy ending.
The queen had long expected that Zhong Yu would confront her in court today.Since she dared to use the imperial secretary, she was ready for it.Zhong Yu's actions are already hard evidence, even if he tells all the truth in public, it is just a dog jumping over the wall and biting at random, no one will believe it.
But she originally thought that Zhong Yu would take care of Rong Zheng and would not reveal her identity.
Now that he has brought the matter to this point, she must find a way to remedy it.Fortunately, all the core personnel of the country are here today. They can clearly distinguish the interests and will not expand the impact of this matter, let alone let the public notice the clues.
After the dust settles, the name Zhong Yu will probably become a top-secret file and be sealed forever.
"What I'm going to say next, I know it's hard for everyone to accept." In just a few seconds, the queen had already thought up a countermeasure.After taking a deep breath, she said: "What Zhong Yu said is true, he is indeed a product of a special historical period."
"Dasheng Dynasty, there has been a secret for thousands of years..." Before the queen finished speaking, she lowered her head and coughed a few times.Pearl came out quickly, helped the queen to sit on the seat, stood up and introduced the relationship between the national teacher and the royal family to everyone in a concise manner.
During this period, Zhong Yu listened quietly the whole time without saying a word.
After Pearl finished speaking, the Fengying Hall instantly turned into a pool of stagnant water, and everyone's worldview was shocked.They carefully looked at Zhong Yu on the Wenxin platform, but they didn't expect that the young man in front of them had already existed in this world for more than 500 years.
"Zhong Yu's murder of Empress Gao, Emperor Mingde, is a heinous crime." The empress didn't give everyone time to process the information, she didn't care how much they accepted the matter, and said: "I made a big mistake for the country and society back then, I cannot shirk the blame. Everyone has seen the result now. Zhong Yu has chosen another master and is no longer under my control. In order to prevent him from continuing to work for tigers in the hands of people with good intentions, this crime that has lasted for hundreds of years has come to us. It's time for a generation to end."
The Queen's words imply that the national teacher has long been ungrateful. Contacting his identity as Marquis of Jingnan, it is not difficult to guess whose camp he is standing at now.Then all his accusations against the Queen are a well-planned frame-up.
This is why the empress was sure that Zhong Yu would not dare to reveal her identity at first, but she was wrong.
The queen's words also reminded Ye Zhaoling of Rong Zheng, he raised his head slightly, and looked at a blur of light in the hall.
The gold-plated pagoda in front of the spirit tablet has been enshrined in front of the Twelve Envoys of the Imperial Secretary.Ye Zhaoling had participated in the trials of the Royal Secretary several times. He was no stranger to this pagoda, but it was an old trick in the palace.The effect of the pagoda is no different from that of a voting device. The only meaning is that it can make the trial of the imperial court more ceremonial, and give them the divine right to decide the life and death of others.
The pagoda is specially made for the Royal Secretary, and it looks no different from ordinary pagodas on the surface, but there is a lot of mystery inside.There are twelve bayonets on the top of the pagoda, which just fit the tokens of the Twelve Envoys of the Imperial Secretary.As long as more than six tokens are put into it, the mechanism in the tower will be triggered.
With the operation of the machine, the pagoda will slowly open, revealing a golden statue in the pagoda.
This golden goblet usually contains a glass of poisonous wine, but following the development of the times, the poisonous wine in the glass has now been replaced with a special drug for euthanasia.
Because of the series of emergencies just now, the originally scheduled links were omitted, and it went directly to the voting.If the eleven envoys present today agreed to sentence Zhong Yu to death, they would step down from the high platform and embed the token in their hands into the pagoda.
At the beginning, the progress was quite smooth, and the envoys were descending from the steps one after another, throwing the tokens in their hands into the pagoda.But when the fifth token was settled, someone in the spectators suddenly raised a different voice.
Dingxi Hou Xiaohou asked Ye Zhaoling eloquently just now, and now he took advantage of Teqin's inattention, stood up and said: "The status of the national teacher is special and of great significance. I think it is inappropriate to make such a hasty judgment!"
Many people in the auditorium echoed: "Young Master's words are justified, this matter should be remanded for retrial, and we will discuss it in the long term."
"As a witness of history, Zhong Yu's life is more meaningful than his death." The government representative put forward his opinion from another angle.
Some members of the clan disagreed: "Monsters like Zhong Yu must not be kept after all, lest they cause even greater disasters."
Some people directly scolded: "I think you are all in a daze, you dare to keep such a dangerous thing!"
The empress sat on the stage, her face became more and more dignified. She had done a lot of preparatory work for this trial of Yaoqing Palace, and she was originally sure of everything.But now that Zhong Yu suddenly blew himself up and made such a mess, things began to deviate in a direction she didn't want to see.
Not all imperial parties are in the Imperial Department, she just used Zhong Yu to achieve a temporary win-win situation with all parties.What Zhong Yu said just now not only swayed the audience, but also influenced the decision-making of the Royal Secretary.
The queen looked down at the dragon fish beside her. The dragon fish circled around in the tank without knowing the world, but couldn't give her an answer.
Just when everyone was at a stalemate and the result of the trial was pending.A skinny figure suddenly appeared outside the hall, and the sudden appearance of this person completely wiped out the last bit of hope left by the queen.
The doctor Zhengfeng outside the door was like a candle in the wind. The old man coughed earth-shatteringly first, and after finally recovering his breath, he tremblingly entered the hall with Yan Tian's support.
Doctor Zheng Feng came to the center of the hall without looking sideways, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, the old man is late."
Prince Rui stood up in surprise, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"The old man caught a cold and rested in the hospital for a few days." The old man clasped his hands around and said, "I've recovered now, so everyone is worried."
The queen put one hand on the back of the chair, with a warm smile on her face, as if she was also pleased with the arrival of Doctor Zhengfeng.But in a corner where no one noticed, her thumbnail broke in half due to excessive force.
Seeing Yan Tian and Doctor Zhengfeng appearing at the same time, the Queen finally came to her senses and realized that she had been put together by the East Palace.Presumably it was Pearl's actions that were exposed, and the prince used his tricks to hide Dr. Zhengfeng, creating the illusion that he was critically ill, and left her at the last moment to catch her off guard.
Dr. Zhengfeng has far-reaching influence in the royal family and even the government. The clan members are already vacillating, and the government also has objections. His vote will definitely affect the outcome of the entire trial.And Rong Zheng, if things go on, he can win with one move without showing up in person today.
The queen relieved the strength in her hands and leaned back on the chair back.After all the calculations, he still missed the link of Doctor Zhengfeng. He should have killed this old guy completely in the first place, so that there would be no side effects at this time.
Apart from waiting and watching the development of the situation right now, it is inappropriate to take unnecessary actions.
One of the envoys, the Xian Wang, had completed the voting early, and he obviously thought of this.King Xian sat in his seat, and said coolly, "The doctor is here late, and he didn't participate in the whole process. I'm afraid it would be unfair to join the judgment temporarily."
Yan Tian immediately said: "Since ancient times, there have been twelve official envoys, and only when all the twelve envoys are present can you represent the imperial secretary."
King Xian raised his eyelids to look at Yan Tian, and said, "Who are you? How can you speak here?"
Someone from the auditorium on the government side said, "Since Dr. Zhengfeng is present today, he has the same rights as you."
The government and the royal family have interpenetrated each other, and the factions are complicated. The government's position on this matter is not clear.
Xian Wang sneered and said, "I don't agree."
However, when everyone was arguing over this matter, Doctor Zhengfeng had already walked to the side of the pagoda with small steps.Before everyone could react, he embedded the token in his sleeve into the pagoda with lightning speed.
The mechanism inside the pagoda made a crisp "click", and the gemstones inlaid on the surface were deflected to both sides by another space. At this time, it was only the last step before the announcement of the trial result.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Doctor Zhengfeng said calmly, "Zhong Yu, you should be killed for causing trouble to the court."
Yan Tian's heart was settled, and he raised his eyes slightly.
"Almost forgot about you, Your Majesty." Ye Zhaoling was still half-kneeling on the ground. He swallowed the blood foam in his mouth as if he had just noticed the Queen just now, and continued what he had just said: "I won't take it from you by killing your sons and relatives."
