History of Yongwu
Chapter 24 No one is innocent
Ting Wei Mansion Prison
"Master Tingwei, I'm here to visit my father." Yang Pingfeng said standing far away from the cell door.
"Mr. Yang, your father is a serious offender. I'm afraid I can't agree." Gu Lei was always strict, but at this moment there was a trace of sympathy in his heart.
"Master Gu, my son has just been born and I haven't met my father-in-law yet, please promise me." Guan Feiyan hugged the child and was about to fall to his knees.
"This..." Gu Lei looked at her, Guan Feiyan had just given birth to a child, her body was weak and her frail appearance made him feel pity.
"Master Gu, I won't delay long, father promised to name the child, we will come out soon" Yang Pingfeng begged.
"In that case"
"no!"
Gu Lei was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look aside, just as King Jin got out of the car and came towards this side.
"See the prince" and everyone saluted.
"Yang Jingyi is a repeat offender, and no one is allowed to see him." Qin Yu glanced at Yang Pingfeng and said indifferently, "It's your first offence. I won't hold you accountable, so why don't you step down?"
Yang Pingfeng bowed his body with a proud face, he looked down on King Jin because King Jin was despicable and shameless, he harmed his father and teacher.
"My lord" Guan Feiyan also hated King Jin, still looked at Gu Lei and said, "We just want the father-in-law to name the child."
She paled again and looked more haggard, holding her young son in her arms, even though Yang Pingfeng was supporting her, she still seemed about to fall down at any time.
Gu Lei looked at the woman in front of him and the child in his arms, and couldn't bear it. The child lost his grandfather and grandfather when he was born, and Guan Feiyan became the daughter of a criminal minister overnight. Although he deserved what he deserved, he was pitiful after all.
"My lord, I'm young, let's just take a look"
"Wang's law can be changed at will." Qin Yu interrupted him, squinted at him, and said majestically, "Master Gu's move violates the law of the country."
Gu Lei's face froze, the King of Jin had always been kind and kind to others, but now he was serious, which made him awed.
"you"
Yang Pingfeng stopped his wife who was about to beg, snorted coldly, got in the car and left.He didn't bother to condescend to ask for mercy from such a person, not to mention that Jin Wang was the mastermind who killed his father.
When Qin Yu saw the two leave, his heart was completely indifferent. Although Yang Pingfeng was talented and filial to his parents, he couldn't hold back his temper and used his will to do things. Even if he was an official, he might not be of much use.
"Wang Meng, block the Tingwei Mansion and the prison, anyone who enters or exits must obtain the consent of the king"
Gu Lei didn't react for a while, and asked in shock, "My lord, what are you doing?"
Qin Yu glanced at him, and said in the same tone, "Master Gu heard, this king is going to seal the prison."
"This is Tingwei's Mansion, I'm afraid it's not under the jurisdiction of His Highness King Jin. Everything in Tingwei's Mansion should be decided by the lower officials, including the prisoners." Gu Lei stepped forward excitedly.
"Master Gu is too soft-hearted." Qin Yu didn't look at him, and walked straight to the prison door, saying as he walked, "So it's better for me to take care of you for you."
"This is the capital city, the prince actually led troops to surround my Tingwei's mansion, don't you have the law of the country in your heart?"
"This is the meaning of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. If there is anything wrong with your Excellency, you can go to the palace and tell Your Majesty."
Qin Yu didn't stop walking, and entered the prison in an instant. Gu Lei looked at the spot, flicked his sleeves, got in the car and went straight to the palace.
Now that Yang Jing was caught, Qin Yu would of course take the opportunity to implicate a few members of the Confucian Party, and His Majesty also hoped so. Gu Lei is an upright person, and he can no longer do such things, so Qin Yu replaced him.
Inside the prison
Sunshine came in from the small window, making the prison even darker. Yang Jingyi was sitting on the bed, leaning his head against the wall, closing his eyes to rest his mind, when there were footsteps beside him, he opened his eyes.
"My lord is very elegant, and I even came to see the next official."
"This king is not here to see you, you don't have to pretend to be relaxed with this king." Qin Yu said, opened the prison door and walked in. He stood in front of Yang Jingyi, looked down at him and said, "Tell me, who instigated it?" You ordered the chief official Meng to tamper with the memorial, to deceive the late emperor, and to shield the rebellious party."
"The officer said that this matter was not my fault"
Snapped
Yang Jingyi covered his face in a daze, Qin Yu lightly shook his palm, and said expressionlessly, "Master Yang, this king is not Gu Lei, I don't have such a good temper."
You can rely on talking to Guan Wenbo and Qin Yu, but you can't treat Yang Jingyi. This kind of old hooligan who has been in the officialdom for a long time, benevolence, righteousness and morality are useless. You have to be straightforward and make him afraid, so you can't give him hope. Otherwise, he will hold onto it tightly, and then it will be troublesome.
Yang Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his head and said, "Is the prince going to torture you?"
"Beating into a trick?" Qin Yu looked at him with a sneer and said, "You count too! You and this king both understand that what happened back then was what you did."
Oh Yang Jing sneered, turned his face away, not looking at him.
"Master Yang wants to kill Rong Xuan as the main envoy?" Yang Jingyi still did not change, Qin Yu lowered his head and said firmly, "This will not succeed."
"I'm sorry I can't accompany you." Yang Jing moved his whole body, as if he was going to lie down.
"Rong Xuan can't be the chief envoy, everyone understands, and the reason why you insist on it, this king understands, and His Majesty also understands, this matter has already caused a lot of trouble, it is impossible to keep hanging like this, if you don't make a decision, This king can only make the decision for you."
Yang Jingyi finally turned his head to look at King Jin, frowned and asked, "What did your lord say?"
"Master Yang, are you going to pretend to be stupid with this king too?" Qin Yu found a clean place to sit down, and continued to say, "King Liang, Doctor Yushi, Qin Zheng, for this king, you are the most suitable person for Qin Zheng to order. Your Majesty also wants to If you want this result, how about this king help you decide this?"
"Hehe" Yang Jing said disdainfully, "Does the prince really think that he can cover the sky with one hand? I'm afraid all the officials in the court will not do what the prince wants."
"Your Excellency Yang wants to say that Kong Guopei won't let me do what I want." Qin Yu looked at him amusedly, and Yang Jing acquiesced as soon as he saw that he didn't make a sound.
"What you idiot can think of, but this king can't think of it?" Qin Yu sneered, glanced at him and continued, "Kong Guopei is indeed capable of overthrowing the evidence of this king, and also has the ability to muddy the water and keep Qin Zheng, but what about you? If someone bears the charge, will Kong Guopei give up his interests for you? If this king is Mr. Kong, he will definitely bite you back and say that you were ordered by King Liang."
The prison fell silent, Yang Jing half hung his head and did not speak.In fact, he knew in his heart that Kong Guopei would definitely abandon him, because this is the rule of the capital, just like he once abandoned Guan Wenbo, fate is always fair.
Testify against Kong Guopei?No, it won't be successful. He knows Mr. Kong, and Kong Guopei must have made preparations by now. As long as he speaks out, Kong Guopei will immediately be identified by Kong Guopei as the old party of King Liang. At that time, Feng'er and the others will still be dead. .
Seeing his uncertain face, Qin Yu said slowly, "It seems that Master Yang has figured it out. Yes, you have only one way left, and that is to cooperate with this king."
Yang Jingyi looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Your Highness can save my life? I, Yang Jingyi, am not that stupid yet."
"That's right, it seems that Master Yang has already realized that he must die, that's fine." Qin Yu looked at him with a smile on his lips, "But I can save the lives of Yang Pingfeng and your newly born grandson."
"What did you say?" Yang Jingyi asked with his eyes wide open.
"Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a son, I want to congratulate Master Yang." Qin Yu nodded calmly.
Yang Jing clenched his hands tightly, Qin Yu saw his inner struggle, stepped forward and deliberately said, "Don't think that His Majesty will be merciful if Mr. Yang is famous all over the world. In my opinion, Mr. Yang's reputation all over the world can only be merciful." He was sent to the guillotine sooner."
Yang Jing closed his eyes tightly, and looked up at Qin Yu after a while and said, "How will the lord keep Pingfeng?"
"If Young Master Ling is willing to report on the person who used to be the king of Liang, such a righteous act of exterminating relatives, even if it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, His Majesty will spare Young Master Yang's life."
"Wouldn't that mean that my son's reputation will be ruined and his future will be ruined?" Yang Jingyi looked at him and said in a daze.
"It's better than losing your life." Qin Yu stood up and said as he walked out, "Master Yang slowly thinks, this king has been waiting for so long, it's almost a few days."
"I have something to ask the lord." Yang Jingyi stopped Jin Wang who was about to step out.
"Master Yang, please tell me." Qin Yu turned to look at him.
"Since I can't get rid of Kong Guopei, even if I die, how can the prince get rid of him?"
"Master Yang, this is not something you can worry about. How do you know that this king has no other means?"
Yang Jingyi looked at King Jin motionlessly, wanting to see if he was bluffing, but he didn't see that King Jin was hiding a cold murderous intent with a smile on his face, Mr. Yushi has this person here, maybe you and I will soon It's good to be able to meet again, so good.
"I hope the prince will keep his word"
"This king never breaks his promise." Qin Yu smiled and left the prison.
"My lord, Tingwei Mansion and the prison have been protected," Wang Meng said respectfully when he saw King Jin come out.
"If Yang Jingyi wants to see Yang Pingfeng, bring him here." Qin Yu glanced behind him and got into the carriage, "Then immediately report to the king."
"Yes"
two days later
"Father, how are you?" Yang Pingfeng knelt in front of Yang Jingyi's knee and asked.
"Feng'er, I'm fine as a father. I heard that Fei Yan is giving birth. Hurry up and bring the baby to me." Yang Jingyi patted his son on the shoulder and looked behind him.
Guan Feiyan came to the front with the child in her arms, and gently handed the child to Yang Jingyi. Yang Jingyi took the child carefully and held it in his arms. The little guy was staring at him with round eyes full of curiosity.Yang Jingyi touched the child's face, which made the little guy giggle, and a smile appeared on Yang Jingyi's old face.
"Father, don't worry." Yang Pingfeng looked at the two, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and said comfortingly, "I have written to His Majesty requesting a new investigation, and I will definitely find out that my father is innocent."
Yang Jingyi hugged the child, looked at his son and said slowly, "Feng'er should stop writing, or my Yang family will become extinct."
"What did father say?" Yang Pingfeng asked strangely.
"You are a commoner who instigates scholars to write a letter. This is not what His Majesty wants to see. For the sake of our Yang family, don't do it again. You write a letter immediately after you go back, expressing your father's sins, and accusing your father as a spy of King Liang who has been entrenched for many years. The imperial court tried in vain to avenge the King of Liang"
Yang Jingyi narrated calmly, without any emotion, Yang Pingfeng froze for a moment, and then stepped forward.
"Father, what did you say, how can a son do this!"
"Pingfeng, my father has been in power for many years, and his fate is not wronged now, but you have to live on for the future of the Yang family." Yang Jingyi choked up as he spoke.
"If I am like this, how should I face the people of the world?" Yang Pingfeng pulled his cuffs and asked tearfully, "How should I face the ancestors of the Yang family?"
"Feng'er, if you insist on continuing to make trouble, not only you, Feiyan, but also your children will not end well. Do you really want to die for my father, because I am the last child of the Yang family?"
Yang Jingyi put the child in his arms, Yang Pingfeng looked at his son's immature face and his father's old face, lowered his head and didn't know what to do.
"Father, father," Yang Pingfeng murmured.
Yang Jingyi looked at his son kneeling on the ground, and the daughter-in-law beside him shook his head. Yang Pingfeng's personality is not suitable for staying in the capital, and sooner or later his life will be ruined. "Feng'er, leave the capital after I die, and don't see any old friends "
"Is there no other way for father?"
Yang Pingfeng asked in a low voice, the Yang family can't have a descendant, but how could he kill his father with his own hands, Yang Jingyi squatted in front of him, looking at his son and grandson with kindness.
"This child's name is Yang Yinyi. I hope he can stay away from all of this and have a safe life. Feng'er takes good care of Feiyan and the child. Go back."
Yang Jingyi touched the child's little face again, sat back, closed his eyes and said nothing, too much entanglement would only give birth to more intolerance, he couldn't bear to look at his children and grandchildren, it would only increase useless nostalgia.
Outside the cell door, Yang Pingfeng turned his head to look at him, Yang Jingyi's always meticulous hair bun was messed up, his eyes darkened, his brain felt dizzy, and he staggered away.
The emperor's edict: Yang Jingyi deceived the emperor, formed a party with the king of Liang, betrayed the master and usurped, framed Zhongliang, and shielded party members. Such unfaithful and unrighteous people will be executed immediately to comfort the spirit of the late emperor.His son, Yang Pingfeng, exposed his father's crimes, exterminated his relatives righteously, pardoned his wife's life, and sent him into exile.
As soon as this edict came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and the public opinion in the government and the opposition was overwhelming. Scholars all over the world accused Yang Pingfeng of reneging on his promises and living behind his father. Most of the sages and gentlemen were shameless. Request to kill Yang Pingfeng, Yang Pingfeng's reputation will be ruined!
Affected by Yang Jingyi, many nobles from the Confucian Party were punished or exiled in the name of King Liang's old party. For a while, there was a lot of turmoil inside and outside the capital, and everyone was in danger. They were afraid that Yang Jingyi would bite him again in the next second. .
King Jin's Mansion
"My lord, my lord, my lord is busy now, I don't have time to see you" Xiao Fuzi followed behind Gu Lei, shouting non-stop.
Why is there no time, King Jin is deliberately avoiding it!
Gu Lei ignored it, and walked straight to the inner courtyard, just as he didn't know where King Jin was, he suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, turned his footsteps, and followed the sound.
Inside the pavilion, Qin Yu was half leaning on the soft couch, holding the wine glass in one hand, half-opening his eyes, enjoying the melodious and graceful sound of the piano in front of him.
"My lord, I'm so excited," Gu Lei said through gritted teeth.
Qin Yu opened his eyes, facing Lord Shang Tingwei's dark face, he couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this Master Gu, come, come, let's go together!"
"The lower official has something important to ask the lord, can the lord go to a quiet place to talk with the lower official?" Gu Lei frowned and looked around, as if he was afraid of being contaminated.
"Master Gu followed me to the back hall"
In the back hall, just as Qin Yu sat down, he heard Gu Lei say, "My lord, all the old parties of Liang Wang who have been investigated and dealt with recently have not been dismissed. I don't know what the lord means?"
"I see that you are too busy, so I will help you," Qin Yu replied with a smile.
"However, when the officials checked the files, all the cases were directly convicted without investigation. Dare I ask how the prince did the investigation?"
"I have my own way." Qin Yu said slowly while drinking tea, "Master Ting Wei, don't worry."
"Since you don't need to worry about being an official, then I want to ask the prince, what crime did Zuo Zhonglang commit Master Liu to harm his wife and children, and what crime did Yubayashi Zhonglang commit Master Qi to exile in Mobei. And Wucheng Hou, Pengcheng Hou, Jian Guogong, and Zhongsu Hou have committed some crimes, so are the two schools, Changshui and Yueqi, the Wei Nian Gangwei Guan also the old party of King Liang?"
The more Gu Lei talked, the more excited he became, and finally he even stood in front of King Jin. King Jin sat quietly on the chair, raised his eyebrows to glance at him, and gently put down the teacup.
"These people are Yang Jingyi's confession of Liang Wang's old party. If Mr. Tingwei wants to see the evidence, I will show you. However, this matter is of great importance, and His Majesty ordered it to be kept secret. If His Majesty orders, I will send the evidence to you." In front of Lord Tingwei"
King Jin lowered his head halfway, and Gu Lei couldn't see his expression clearly. He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly his shoulders collapsed, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Does your lord know that Lin Shu, captain of Changshui, has just married his wife, Lord Jian Guo is nearly seventy years old, and the youngest child exiled by Lord Qi's family is only five years old?" Gu Lei looked at him with compassion in his eyes, "My lord, what is wrong with them? The lord can't raise your hands high and let people die."
"No." Qin Yu stood up and looked at him indifferently. "Anyone who hides evil intentions is not good for His Majesty is a chaotic party. Those who confuse the government and the public are not good for the country are treacherous ministers. In the eyes of this king, no one is innocent. Their wives and children have to bear their burdens." guilty, this is Wang’s law.”
Gu Lei stood there blankly, so shocked that he couldn't speak, he looked at King Jin for a long while.
"How good is the prince's move, the next official is ashamed to be with you"
Gu Lei strode away, unwilling to stay here for a moment longer, what King Jin did was chilling.
He has been an official for ten years and has always thought that he enforced the law impartially and had a clear conscience, but at this moment he suddenly couldn't remember his dream and persistence when he was a poor man.
In this capital, who is guilty and who is innocent, can I really see clearly, or is it just an accomplice.
In the eastern outskirts of the capital, the sky was filled with dark clouds of lead gray color, and the air was oppressive and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.Outside the Dongyang Gate, people gathered around the execution platform.
Yang Jingyi knelt on the execution platform with his hands tied behind his back, raised his head slightly, and scanned his surroundings.At the head of the capital city, banners are fluttering, armor is bright, this solid city wall is actually buried with bones, there is a smear of dried blood on the execution platform, Yang Jing looked there motionless, whether it is the blood of an old friend.
Yang Jingyi suddenly remembered the first time he came to Beijing. At that time, he was famous all over the world, and he was full of vigor. He and his old friend Guan never thought that they would have what they are today.
"The time has come, execution"
As soon as Yang Jing lowered his head, he felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. He could only hear his own heartbeat, as well as Feng'er's cry and grandson's cry in the distance. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Old friend, I'm here to accompany you"
With a puff, Yang Jingyi's head rolled down from the execution platform, and blood was sprinkled all over the execution platform. Yang Pingfeng saw his father's head rolling a few times and stopped, staring straight at himself with a pair of eyes.
"Father!!"
Yang Pingfeng rushed over, hugged his father's head, and wept bitterly. Gu Lei waved his hands and no one stopped him. No matter whether Yang Jingyi was guilty or not, he was Yang Pingfeng's father. The pain of losing his father may be unbearable for anyone.
Gently picking up Yang Jingyi's head, Yang Pingfeng slowly walked onto the execution platform, his blue shirt was stained red with blood, and he knelt beside his father, laying out the corpse.
"Father, the child is not filial, let the father's head be in a different place, the child can't face the world, can't face the ancestors of the Yang family," Yang Pingfeng murmured, pulled out the dagger from his arms, looked up at the dark clouds above his head, and swiped the knife. The light flashed, and there was another bright red.
"Brother Feng!!!" The scream stopped abruptly, and Guan Feiyan passed out holding the child.
Click! !
There was a loud thunder that shook the surrounding fields, and the rain poured down. The rain fell on the three people on the execution platform, washing away the blood that hadn't dried up. There was no sound around the execution ground, only the sound of babies crying, hidden in the rain.
Among the crowd, Qin Yu was drenched, and the white light on Yang Pingfeng's dagger was always flashing in front of his eyes. Turning around, he left slowly, with muddy feet under the torrential rain, making people's steps messy.
"Wang Meng, I'm a little tired, please send me back."
"Yes" Wang Meng helped Qin Yu into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city.
The emperor's edict: Yang Pingfeng, righteousness kills relatives and loyalty is the same, the execution ground is righteous, filial piety moves the heavens, loyalty and filial piety are perfect, the country is unparalleled, I pardon his wife's crimes, and posthumously make Yang Pingfeng a country.
Capital City, West Gate
"Mrs. Yang, don't be too sad. Your Majesty has exempted you from all crimes. You and your son can live a good life. Although Yang Jingyi is a chaotic party, Yang Pingfeng is indeed loyal and unparalleled, and he deserves death," Gu Lei comforted softly.
"Lord Gu still thinks that my father is a spy of King Liang, and so is my father-in-law." Guan Feiyan looked at him and asked lightly.
Seeing her, Gu Lei opened her mouth and said nothing, the evidence was solid and he couldn't help but believe it, but it would be too cruel to tell Guan Feiyan.
"All the evidence came from King Jin. My father and father-in-law pleaded guilty after meeting King Jin. My lord thinks it's all a coincidence." Guan Feiyan asked with a sneer.
Gu Lei was speechless for a moment, Guan Feiyan looked at him, and got into the carriage with a blank expression.
In the carriage, Guan Feiyan looked at the child in her arms. Yang Yinyi was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware of his father's departure, and completely unaware that the world had changed before he was sensible.
Guan Feiyan lowered her head and kissed the child's forehead, and silently wiped away her tears. No matter what, she wanted to live, with the flesh and blood of the Yang family.
"Ma'am," the coachman suddenly said, "There is someone in front who seems to be waiting for you."
At the post pavilion next to the official road, King Jin stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at him. Guan Feiyan's arms trembled, and she hugged Yang Yinyi and got out of the car.
"What else does the lord want, do you really want to kill them all?"
Qin Yu looked at her awe-inspiring sacrifice, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mrs. Yang, I hope that the things left by Master Yang should be kept by this king."
Guan Feiyan looked at Qin Yu motionlessly, as if she wanted to see a hint of guilt in his eyes, but there was nothing in King Jin's eyes.
"My lord has a clever plan." She took out a letter from her bosom and put it in King Jin's hand. In fact, Yang Jing had warned her early on that King Jin would come to him, and this letter was originally reserved for her to save her life.
Qin Yu put away the letter, looked at Guan Feiyan and said, "I'm bothering Mrs. Yang, this king will personally send her to the car."
When Guan Feiyan got into the car and lowered the curtain, she leaned forward and looked at Prince Jin, "My lord is so ruthless, how can I sleep peacefully every night?"
"Mrs. Yang, I would like to advise you that when your son grows up, it is best not to tell him the truth, and don't let him go back to the capital. If you want him to be healthy, let him stay away from here."
Gently nodding his head, Qin Yu turned and left, whether he slept peacefully or not, since he took that step, he actually had no choice.
How can there be so many innocent people in this world, how many people are innocent in the capital city, but the present should be the yesterday, and the future should be the past.
The author has something to say:
Just wondering, has anyone seen this from scratch?If you have any, please tell me in the comments, I always wonder who missed the click rate.
"Master Tingwei, I'm here to visit my father." Yang Pingfeng said standing far away from the cell door.
"Mr. Yang, your father is a serious offender. I'm afraid I can't agree." Gu Lei was always strict, but at this moment there was a trace of sympathy in his heart.
"Master Gu, my son has just been born and I haven't met my father-in-law yet, please promise me." Guan Feiyan hugged the child and was about to fall to his knees.
"This..." Gu Lei looked at her, Guan Feiyan had just given birth to a child, her body was weak and her frail appearance made him feel pity.
"Master Gu, I won't delay long, father promised to name the child, we will come out soon" Yang Pingfeng begged.
"In that case"
"no!"
Gu Lei was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look aside, just as King Jin got out of the car and came towards this side.
"See the prince" and everyone saluted.
"Yang Jingyi is a repeat offender, and no one is allowed to see him." Qin Yu glanced at Yang Pingfeng and said indifferently, "It's your first offence. I won't hold you accountable, so why don't you step down?"
Yang Pingfeng bowed his body with a proud face, he looked down on King Jin because King Jin was despicable and shameless, he harmed his father and teacher.
"My lord" Guan Feiyan also hated King Jin, still looked at Gu Lei and said, "We just want the father-in-law to name the child."
She paled again and looked more haggard, holding her young son in her arms, even though Yang Pingfeng was supporting her, she still seemed about to fall down at any time.
Gu Lei looked at the woman in front of him and the child in his arms, and couldn't bear it. The child lost his grandfather and grandfather when he was born, and Guan Feiyan became the daughter of a criminal minister overnight. Although he deserved what he deserved, he was pitiful after all.
"My lord, I'm young, let's just take a look"
"Wang's law can be changed at will." Qin Yu interrupted him, squinted at him, and said majestically, "Master Gu's move violates the law of the country."
Gu Lei's face froze, the King of Jin had always been kind and kind to others, but now he was serious, which made him awed.
"you"
Yang Pingfeng stopped his wife who was about to beg, snorted coldly, got in the car and left.He didn't bother to condescend to ask for mercy from such a person, not to mention that Jin Wang was the mastermind who killed his father.
When Qin Yu saw the two leave, his heart was completely indifferent. Although Yang Pingfeng was talented and filial to his parents, he couldn't hold back his temper and used his will to do things. Even if he was an official, he might not be of much use.
"Wang Meng, block the Tingwei Mansion and the prison, anyone who enters or exits must obtain the consent of the king"
Gu Lei didn't react for a while, and asked in shock, "My lord, what are you doing?"
Qin Yu glanced at him, and said in the same tone, "Master Gu heard, this king is going to seal the prison."
"This is Tingwei's Mansion, I'm afraid it's not under the jurisdiction of His Highness King Jin. Everything in Tingwei's Mansion should be decided by the lower officials, including the prisoners." Gu Lei stepped forward excitedly.
"Master Gu is too soft-hearted." Qin Yu didn't look at him, and walked straight to the prison door, saying as he walked, "So it's better for me to take care of you for you."
"This is the capital city, the prince actually led troops to surround my Tingwei's mansion, don't you have the law of the country in your heart?"
"This is the meaning of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. If there is anything wrong with your Excellency, you can go to the palace and tell Your Majesty."
Qin Yu didn't stop walking, and entered the prison in an instant. Gu Lei looked at the spot, flicked his sleeves, got in the car and went straight to the palace.
Now that Yang Jing was caught, Qin Yu would of course take the opportunity to implicate a few members of the Confucian Party, and His Majesty also hoped so. Gu Lei is an upright person, and he can no longer do such things, so Qin Yu replaced him.
Inside the prison
Sunshine came in from the small window, making the prison even darker. Yang Jingyi was sitting on the bed, leaning his head against the wall, closing his eyes to rest his mind, when there were footsteps beside him, he opened his eyes.
"My lord is very elegant, and I even came to see the next official."
"This king is not here to see you, you don't have to pretend to be relaxed with this king." Qin Yu said, opened the prison door and walked in. He stood in front of Yang Jingyi, looked down at him and said, "Tell me, who instigated it?" You ordered the chief official Meng to tamper with the memorial, to deceive the late emperor, and to shield the rebellious party."
"The officer said that this matter was not my fault"
Snapped
Yang Jingyi covered his face in a daze, Qin Yu lightly shook his palm, and said expressionlessly, "Master Yang, this king is not Gu Lei, I don't have such a good temper."
You can rely on talking to Guan Wenbo and Qin Yu, but you can't treat Yang Jingyi. This kind of old hooligan who has been in the officialdom for a long time, benevolence, righteousness and morality are useless. You have to be straightforward and make him afraid, so you can't give him hope. Otherwise, he will hold onto it tightly, and then it will be troublesome.
Yang Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his head and said, "Is the prince going to torture you?"
"Beating into a trick?" Qin Yu looked at him with a sneer and said, "You count too! You and this king both understand that what happened back then was what you did."
Oh Yang Jing sneered, turned his face away, not looking at him.
"Master Yang wants to kill Rong Xuan as the main envoy?" Yang Jingyi still did not change, Qin Yu lowered his head and said firmly, "This will not succeed."
"I'm sorry I can't accompany you." Yang Jing moved his whole body, as if he was going to lie down.
"Rong Xuan can't be the chief envoy, everyone understands, and the reason why you insist on it, this king understands, and His Majesty also understands, this matter has already caused a lot of trouble, it is impossible to keep hanging like this, if you don't make a decision, This king can only make the decision for you."
Yang Jingyi finally turned his head to look at King Jin, frowned and asked, "What did your lord say?"
"Master Yang, are you going to pretend to be stupid with this king too?" Qin Yu found a clean place to sit down, and continued to say, "King Liang, Doctor Yushi, Qin Zheng, for this king, you are the most suitable person for Qin Zheng to order. Your Majesty also wants to If you want this result, how about this king help you decide this?"
"Hehe" Yang Jing said disdainfully, "Does the prince really think that he can cover the sky with one hand? I'm afraid all the officials in the court will not do what the prince wants."
"Your Excellency Yang wants to say that Kong Guopei won't let me do what I want." Qin Yu looked at him amusedly, and Yang Jing acquiesced as soon as he saw that he didn't make a sound.
"What you idiot can think of, but this king can't think of it?" Qin Yu sneered, glanced at him and continued, "Kong Guopei is indeed capable of overthrowing the evidence of this king, and also has the ability to muddy the water and keep Qin Zheng, but what about you? If someone bears the charge, will Kong Guopei give up his interests for you? If this king is Mr. Kong, he will definitely bite you back and say that you were ordered by King Liang."
The prison fell silent, Yang Jing half hung his head and did not speak.In fact, he knew in his heart that Kong Guopei would definitely abandon him, because this is the rule of the capital, just like he once abandoned Guan Wenbo, fate is always fair.
Testify against Kong Guopei?No, it won't be successful. He knows Mr. Kong, and Kong Guopei must have made preparations by now. As long as he speaks out, Kong Guopei will immediately be identified by Kong Guopei as the old party of King Liang. At that time, Feng'er and the others will still be dead. .
Seeing his uncertain face, Qin Yu said slowly, "It seems that Master Yang has figured it out. Yes, you have only one way left, and that is to cooperate with this king."
Yang Jingyi looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Your Highness can save my life? I, Yang Jingyi, am not that stupid yet."
"That's right, it seems that Master Yang has already realized that he must die, that's fine." Qin Yu looked at him with a smile on his lips, "But I can save the lives of Yang Pingfeng and your newly born grandson."
"What did you say?" Yang Jingyi asked with his eyes wide open.
"Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a son, I want to congratulate Master Yang." Qin Yu nodded calmly.
Yang Jing clenched his hands tightly, Qin Yu saw his inner struggle, stepped forward and deliberately said, "Don't think that His Majesty will be merciful if Mr. Yang is famous all over the world. In my opinion, Mr. Yang's reputation all over the world can only be merciful." He was sent to the guillotine sooner."
Yang Jing closed his eyes tightly, and looked up at Qin Yu after a while and said, "How will the lord keep Pingfeng?"
"If Young Master Ling is willing to report on the person who used to be the king of Liang, such a righteous act of exterminating relatives, even if it is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, His Majesty will spare Young Master Yang's life."
"Wouldn't that mean that my son's reputation will be ruined and his future will be ruined?" Yang Jingyi looked at him and said in a daze.
"It's better than losing your life." Qin Yu stood up and said as he walked out, "Master Yang slowly thinks, this king has been waiting for so long, it's almost a few days."
"I have something to ask the lord." Yang Jingyi stopped Jin Wang who was about to step out.
"Master Yang, please tell me." Qin Yu turned to look at him.
"Since I can't get rid of Kong Guopei, even if I die, how can the prince get rid of him?"
"Master Yang, this is not something you can worry about. How do you know that this king has no other means?"
Yang Jingyi looked at King Jin motionlessly, wanting to see if he was bluffing, but he didn't see that King Jin was hiding a cold murderous intent with a smile on his face, Mr. Yushi has this person here, maybe you and I will soon It's good to be able to meet again, so good.
"I hope the prince will keep his word"
"This king never breaks his promise." Qin Yu smiled and left the prison.
"My lord, Tingwei Mansion and the prison have been protected," Wang Meng said respectfully when he saw King Jin come out.
"If Yang Jingyi wants to see Yang Pingfeng, bring him here." Qin Yu glanced behind him and got into the carriage, "Then immediately report to the king."
"Yes"
two days later
"Father, how are you?" Yang Pingfeng knelt in front of Yang Jingyi's knee and asked.
"Feng'er, I'm fine as a father. I heard that Fei Yan is giving birth. Hurry up and bring the baby to me." Yang Jingyi patted his son on the shoulder and looked behind him.
Guan Feiyan came to the front with the child in her arms, and gently handed the child to Yang Jingyi. Yang Jingyi took the child carefully and held it in his arms. The little guy was staring at him with round eyes full of curiosity.Yang Jingyi touched the child's face, which made the little guy giggle, and a smile appeared on Yang Jingyi's old face.
"Father, don't worry." Yang Pingfeng looked at the two, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and said comfortingly, "I have written to His Majesty requesting a new investigation, and I will definitely find out that my father is innocent."
Yang Jingyi hugged the child, looked at his son and said slowly, "Feng'er should stop writing, or my Yang family will become extinct."
"What did father say?" Yang Pingfeng asked strangely.
"You are a commoner who instigates scholars to write a letter. This is not what His Majesty wants to see. For the sake of our Yang family, don't do it again. You write a letter immediately after you go back, expressing your father's sins, and accusing your father as a spy of King Liang who has been entrenched for many years. The imperial court tried in vain to avenge the King of Liang"
Yang Jingyi narrated calmly, without any emotion, Yang Pingfeng froze for a moment, and then stepped forward.
"Father, what did you say, how can a son do this!"
"Pingfeng, my father has been in power for many years, and his fate is not wronged now, but you have to live on for the future of the Yang family." Yang Jingyi choked up as he spoke.
"If I am like this, how should I face the people of the world?" Yang Pingfeng pulled his cuffs and asked tearfully, "How should I face the ancestors of the Yang family?"
"Feng'er, if you insist on continuing to make trouble, not only you, Feiyan, but also your children will not end well. Do you really want to die for my father, because I am the last child of the Yang family?"
Yang Jingyi put the child in his arms, Yang Pingfeng looked at his son's immature face and his father's old face, lowered his head and didn't know what to do.
"Father, father," Yang Pingfeng murmured.
Yang Jingyi looked at his son kneeling on the ground, and the daughter-in-law beside him shook his head. Yang Pingfeng's personality is not suitable for staying in the capital, and sooner or later his life will be ruined. "Feng'er, leave the capital after I die, and don't see any old friends "
"Is there no other way for father?"
Yang Pingfeng asked in a low voice, the Yang family can't have a descendant, but how could he kill his father with his own hands, Yang Jingyi squatted in front of him, looking at his son and grandson with kindness.
"This child's name is Yang Yinyi. I hope he can stay away from all of this and have a safe life. Feng'er takes good care of Feiyan and the child. Go back."
Yang Jingyi touched the child's little face again, sat back, closed his eyes and said nothing, too much entanglement would only give birth to more intolerance, he couldn't bear to look at his children and grandchildren, it would only increase useless nostalgia.
Outside the cell door, Yang Pingfeng turned his head to look at him, Yang Jingyi's always meticulous hair bun was messed up, his eyes darkened, his brain felt dizzy, and he staggered away.
The emperor's edict: Yang Jingyi deceived the emperor, formed a party with the king of Liang, betrayed the master and usurped, framed Zhongliang, and shielded party members. Such unfaithful and unrighteous people will be executed immediately to comfort the spirit of the late emperor.His son, Yang Pingfeng, exposed his father's crimes, exterminated his relatives righteously, pardoned his wife's life, and sent him into exile.
As soon as this edict came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and the public opinion in the government and the opposition was overwhelming. Scholars all over the world accused Yang Pingfeng of reneging on his promises and living behind his father. Most of the sages and gentlemen were shameless. Request to kill Yang Pingfeng, Yang Pingfeng's reputation will be ruined!
Affected by Yang Jingyi, many nobles from the Confucian Party were punished or exiled in the name of King Liang's old party. For a while, there was a lot of turmoil inside and outside the capital, and everyone was in danger. They were afraid that Yang Jingyi would bite him again in the next second. .
King Jin's Mansion
"My lord, my lord, my lord is busy now, I don't have time to see you" Xiao Fuzi followed behind Gu Lei, shouting non-stop.
Why is there no time, King Jin is deliberately avoiding it!
Gu Lei ignored it, and walked straight to the inner courtyard, just as he didn't know where King Jin was, he suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, turned his footsteps, and followed the sound.
Inside the pavilion, Qin Yu was half leaning on the soft couch, holding the wine glass in one hand, half-opening his eyes, enjoying the melodious and graceful sound of the piano in front of him.
"My lord, I'm so excited," Gu Lei said through gritted teeth.
Qin Yu opened his eyes, facing Lord Shang Tingwei's dark face, he couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this Master Gu, come, come, let's go together!"
"The lower official has something important to ask the lord, can the lord go to a quiet place to talk with the lower official?" Gu Lei frowned and looked around, as if he was afraid of being contaminated.
"Master Gu followed me to the back hall"
In the back hall, just as Qin Yu sat down, he heard Gu Lei say, "My lord, all the old parties of Liang Wang who have been investigated and dealt with recently have not been dismissed. I don't know what the lord means?"
"I see that you are too busy, so I will help you," Qin Yu replied with a smile.
"However, when the officials checked the files, all the cases were directly convicted without investigation. Dare I ask how the prince did the investigation?"
"I have my own way." Qin Yu said slowly while drinking tea, "Master Ting Wei, don't worry."
"Since you don't need to worry about being an official, then I want to ask the prince, what crime did Zuo Zhonglang commit Master Liu to harm his wife and children, and what crime did Yubayashi Zhonglang commit Master Qi to exile in Mobei. And Wucheng Hou, Pengcheng Hou, Jian Guogong, and Zhongsu Hou have committed some crimes, so are the two schools, Changshui and Yueqi, the Wei Nian Gangwei Guan also the old party of King Liang?"
The more Gu Lei talked, the more excited he became, and finally he even stood in front of King Jin. King Jin sat quietly on the chair, raised his eyebrows to glance at him, and gently put down the teacup.
"These people are Yang Jingyi's confession of Liang Wang's old party. If Mr. Tingwei wants to see the evidence, I will show you. However, this matter is of great importance, and His Majesty ordered it to be kept secret. If His Majesty orders, I will send the evidence to you." In front of Lord Tingwei"
King Jin lowered his head halfway, and Gu Lei couldn't see his expression clearly. He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly his shoulders collapsed, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Does your lord know that Lin Shu, captain of Changshui, has just married his wife, Lord Jian Guo is nearly seventy years old, and the youngest child exiled by Lord Qi's family is only five years old?" Gu Lei looked at him with compassion in his eyes, "My lord, what is wrong with them? The lord can't raise your hands high and let people die."
"No." Qin Yu stood up and looked at him indifferently. "Anyone who hides evil intentions is not good for His Majesty is a chaotic party. Those who confuse the government and the public are not good for the country are treacherous ministers. In the eyes of this king, no one is innocent. Their wives and children have to bear their burdens." guilty, this is Wang’s law.”
Gu Lei stood there blankly, so shocked that he couldn't speak, he looked at King Jin for a long while.
"How good is the prince's move, the next official is ashamed to be with you"
Gu Lei strode away, unwilling to stay here for a moment longer, what King Jin did was chilling.
He has been an official for ten years and has always thought that he enforced the law impartially and had a clear conscience, but at this moment he suddenly couldn't remember his dream and persistence when he was a poor man.
In this capital, who is guilty and who is innocent, can I really see clearly, or is it just an accomplice.
In the eastern outskirts of the capital, the sky was filled with dark clouds of lead gray color, and the air was oppressive and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.Outside the Dongyang Gate, people gathered around the execution platform.
Yang Jingyi knelt on the execution platform with his hands tied behind his back, raised his head slightly, and scanned his surroundings.At the head of the capital city, banners are fluttering, armor is bright, this solid city wall is actually buried with bones, there is a smear of dried blood on the execution platform, Yang Jing looked there motionless, whether it is the blood of an old friend.
Yang Jingyi suddenly remembered the first time he came to Beijing. At that time, he was famous all over the world, and he was full of vigor. He and his old friend Guan never thought that they would have what they are today.
"The time has come, execution"
As soon as Yang Jing lowered his head, he felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. He could only hear his own heartbeat, as well as Feng'er's cry and grandson's cry in the distance. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Old friend, I'm here to accompany you"
With a puff, Yang Jingyi's head rolled down from the execution platform, and blood was sprinkled all over the execution platform. Yang Pingfeng saw his father's head rolling a few times and stopped, staring straight at himself with a pair of eyes.
"Father!!"
Yang Pingfeng rushed over, hugged his father's head, and wept bitterly. Gu Lei waved his hands and no one stopped him. No matter whether Yang Jingyi was guilty or not, he was Yang Pingfeng's father. The pain of losing his father may be unbearable for anyone.
Gently picking up Yang Jingyi's head, Yang Pingfeng slowly walked onto the execution platform, his blue shirt was stained red with blood, and he knelt beside his father, laying out the corpse.
"Father, the child is not filial, let the father's head be in a different place, the child can't face the world, can't face the ancestors of the Yang family," Yang Pingfeng murmured, pulled out the dagger from his arms, looked up at the dark clouds above his head, and swiped the knife. The light flashed, and there was another bright red.
"Brother Feng!!!" The scream stopped abruptly, and Guan Feiyan passed out holding the child.
Click! !
There was a loud thunder that shook the surrounding fields, and the rain poured down. The rain fell on the three people on the execution platform, washing away the blood that hadn't dried up. There was no sound around the execution ground, only the sound of babies crying, hidden in the rain.
Among the crowd, Qin Yu was drenched, and the white light on Yang Pingfeng's dagger was always flashing in front of his eyes. Turning around, he left slowly, with muddy feet under the torrential rain, making people's steps messy.
"Wang Meng, I'm a little tired, please send me back."
"Yes" Wang Meng helped Qin Yu into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city.
The emperor's edict: Yang Pingfeng, righteousness kills relatives and loyalty is the same, the execution ground is righteous, filial piety moves the heavens, loyalty and filial piety are perfect, the country is unparalleled, I pardon his wife's crimes, and posthumously make Yang Pingfeng a country.
Capital City, West Gate
"Mrs. Yang, don't be too sad. Your Majesty has exempted you from all crimes. You and your son can live a good life. Although Yang Jingyi is a chaotic party, Yang Pingfeng is indeed loyal and unparalleled, and he deserves death," Gu Lei comforted softly.
"Lord Gu still thinks that my father is a spy of King Liang, and so is my father-in-law." Guan Feiyan looked at him and asked lightly.
Seeing her, Gu Lei opened her mouth and said nothing, the evidence was solid and he couldn't help but believe it, but it would be too cruel to tell Guan Feiyan.
"All the evidence came from King Jin. My father and father-in-law pleaded guilty after meeting King Jin. My lord thinks it's all a coincidence." Guan Feiyan asked with a sneer.
Gu Lei was speechless for a moment, Guan Feiyan looked at him, and got into the carriage with a blank expression.
In the carriage, Guan Feiyan looked at the child in her arms. Yang Yinyi was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware of his father's departure, and completely unaware that the world had changed before he was sensible.
Guan Feiyan lowered her head and kissed the child's forehead, and silently wiped away her tears. No matter what, she wanted to live, with the flesh and blood of the Yang family.
"Ma'am," the coachman suddenly said, "There is someone in front who seems to be waiting for you."
At the post pavilion next to the official road, King Jin stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at him. Guan Feiyan's arms trembled, and she hugged Yang Yinyi and got out of the car.
"What else does the lord want, do you really want to kill them all?"
Qin Yu looked at her awe-inspiring sacrifice, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mrs. Yang, I hope that the things left by Master Yang should be kept by this king."
Guan Feiyan looked at Qin Yu motionlessly, as if she wanted to see a hint of guilt in his eyes, but there was nothing in King Jin's eyes.
"My lord has a clever plan." She took out a letter from her bosom and put it in King Jin's hand. In fact, Yang Jing had warned her early on that King Jin would come to him, and this letter was originally reserved for her to save her life.
Qin Yu put away the letter, looked at Guan Feiyan and said, "I'm bothering Mrs. Yang, this king will personally send her to the car."
When Guan Feiyan got into the car and lowered the curtain, she leaned forward and looked at Prince Jin, "My lord is so ruthless, how can I sleep peacefully every night?"
"Mrs. Yang, I would like to advise you that when your son grows up, it is best not to tell him the truth, and don't let him go back to the capital. If you want him to be healthy, let him stay away from here."
Gently nodding his head, Qin Yu turned and left, whether he slept peacefully or not, since he took that step, he actually had no choice.
How can there be so many innocent people in this world, how many people are innocent in the capital city, but the present should be the yesterday, and the future should be the past.
