74 accident
Two days after it cleared, there was a heavy snowfall on the third day of the first lunar month. After one night, the entire capital became a vast expanse of whiteness. It was completely unclear from a distance.
Just after the hour, the deserted East Street became lively, and every household sent people to clear the thick snow in front of the door to facilitate the passage of the imperial driver. Yes, today is the day for Concubine De to return home to save her relatives, accompanied by the emperor. Dongdajie is a place where noble families live, even if the emperor just passes by, each family does not dare to be negligent. As for the meaning behind Defei Xingqin, some people admire it, while others don't.
Wasn't Concubine Liang also accompanied by the emperor to his family home? What is the result? Within a few days, he was beaten into the cold palace, and the Shen family was sentenced to ten clans. So it is hard to say whether this matter is a blessing or a curse.
Duke Meng knows more about the interdependence of good and evil than others, so the family from the master to the servant is very low-key. Before dawn, the family had already opened the gate of the palace, spreading a scarlet felt blanket in front of the gate, braving the cold wind to wait for the emperor to drive.
The bright yellow Yu Hu drove through the clean, tidy and heavily guarded East Street. The noble families on both sides of the street opened their front doors and knelt to welcome them. They dared not get up until the mighty motorcade passed by.
Duke Meng's mansion soon arrived. Under the strict protection of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the young and handsome emperor lifted his clothes and strode down Yuhu. Then he personally opened the car curtain and reached out to Concubine De in the Yuhu.
A white and slender jade hand was placed in the palm of his hand, and the emperor unconsciously showed a gentle smile, and then held it tightly, leading the beautiful woman to get off the sedan chair, with a caring attitude.
The two stood side by side hand in hand, one handsome and unparalleled, and the other exquisitely gorgeous. At first glance, they looked like a match made in heaven. Seeing the sad sight cast by Wang Huashan, the new commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the young emperor's eyes quickly slipped a smug light.
"See the emperor, the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Duke Meng stepped forward and bowed and bowed. The Meng family behind him kowtow.
"No gift, please get up soon, please." The emperor stepped forward and helped Duke Meng with a friendly attitude. Duke Meng bent down and stretched out his hand, making an inviting gesture. The group stepped on the felt blanket and walked towards the front door, but they didn't want a 13- or 14-year-old girl to suddenly rush out of the crowd, kneeling in front of the emperor and shouting injustice, the scene suddenly frozen .
Duke Meng turned his head abruptly, and slammed Meng Ruizhu's sharp gaze. Meng Ruizhu, who brought the girl to the world without authorization, faded his shy face, and hid behind Aunt Wen shivering. Seeing the few families around who opened their doors to welcome them were gloating, having nothing to do with them, or sympathizing and worrying, she knew that she had caused a disaster.
"The Yujia dare to disturb! Come, drag her down!" Changxi flicked the girl away with the Buddha's dust, and shouted to the guards around him.
The girl gripped the felt blanket on the ground tightly, her voice was sharp and sharp, and it spread far and wide, deliberately trying to make things worse. "Pray for the emperor to be the master of Mindv's father, Mindv's father was killed by Meng Changxiong, he died unjustly!"
The surrounding families of noble families screamed and talked, craned their necks to look around. It is estimated that this matter will spread throughout the capital within a day, and it is impossible to suppress it. It was a coincidence that there were troubles in the two provinces!
Meng Sangyu squinted at the girl kneeling before him, her eyes cold. This girl is her cousin, Meng Yanyu, the first-in-law daughter of the second room. She has been arrogant and impulsive since she was a child. She hasn't made much progress in living in the border in recent years. It seems that if you don't kill Dafang, Erfang won't let it go!
Thinking of this, she unconsciously gathered her five fingers. The emperor who was holding her hand immediately noticed her anxiety and anger, and patted the back of her hand to soothe him, then waved back the guard, leaning over to look at the distressed girl on the ground. Taking away the girl at this time would only put the Meng family to shame, so it would be better to end the matter in full view. He knew why Meng Yanyu called for injustice.
"Who are you?" He slowly said, his majestic voice implied majesty, making Meng Yanyu timid.
Seeing that the emperor deliberately explored, everyone in the Meng family showed a panic on their faces. Even Duke Meng, who was able to come and go freely among the army, gritted his teeth.
Today this matter is too strange, how can a young girl have such courage to stop Yujia? Someone must have instructed him behind, if this person is the emperor... Thinking of this, the biting chill climbed from the soles of the feet to the back. No wonder the emperor did not accept military power, just because he had too high prestige in the army, he had to cut the grass and roots to rest assured! Duke Meng closed his eyes, his heart was desolate.
Meng Sangyu also thought about it with his father, her drooping eyes were full of unwillingness and hatred, and the hand that was dragged by the man on the palm trembled slightly.
How could Emperor Zhou Wu couldn't understand the thoughts of the father and daughter, his chest was unspeakable and uncomfortable, and his expression on his face became more gloomy.
Facing the emperor’s deep and unpredictable sight, Meng Yanyu squatted his head heavily and said mournfully, “Enlighten to the emperor, the people’s daughter is Meng Yanyu, the daughter of the left general Meng Changzhi. My father was not killed at all, but Meng Changxiong’s secret arrow was in front of the battle. Shoot it and ask the emperor to redress the grievances for the father of the people!"
"How did you know that your father was shot by Duke Meng's secret arrow? As the elder brother, why did he do this?" Emperor Zhou Wu asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the emperor, Meng Changxiong wanted to assassinate her father in order to snatch the military merits of her father. This is absolutely true!" Meng Yanyu was so conclusive that she almost swore to the sky.
Meng Sangyu sneered, spraying a thin mist from the end of his nose. Emperor Zhou Wu squeezed her cold fingertips, raised her eyebrows and said, "As far as I know, your father is incapable and courageous. It is all Duke Meng who can leap to the position of general on the left. If Duke Meng is rob Your father shot him for his military merits. Don’t say that others believe it or not. Do you believe it yourself?"
Duke Meng is brave and invincible, and the people of the whole Zhou Dynasty know it. He wanted to rob his own brother's military merits, which is undoubtedly a joke. Meng Yanyu knew very well how many catties his father had, and his face was particularly embarrassed at this time, and his mouth was open and he did not know how to respond.
At this moment, a woman in her thirties, dressed in filial obedience, slowly walked out of the gate with the support of a 16 or 7-year-old boy, knelt down in front of the emperor, banged her head and said, The emperor, the minister’s wife is the Wang clan of Meng Changzhi’s wife. This is the eldest son of the minister’s wife Meng Yanqi and the second daughter of Meng Yanyu. No matter why Meng Changxiong wants to undermine the minister’s wife, this matter is absolutely true. The minister’s wife has evidence and is hiding in the suburbs. You can take him to the Imperial Front to confront him."
Unexpectedly, there is even a witness who can take advantage of Duke Meng's eyelids. The man behind this is very powerful. Emperor Zhou Wu twisted his eyebrows and thought secretly. Seeing Sang Yu's complexion became paler and his fingertips trembling, he couldn't bear to delay any longer, waved his hand and said, "You don't need a witness," he looked at Changxi again, "Go and ask Yan Commander. And told him to bring the evidence he found last time."
Hearing this, Duke Meng's heart squeezed, raised his clothes, and spontaneously knelt before the emperor. Everyone in the Meng family also knelt when they saw it. The evidence collected by the Imperial Guard is naturally irrefutable. The only thing they can do now is to wait for the emperor's verdict. Meng Sangyu was stiff and cold, trying to pull his hand from the palm of the emperor's palm, but he firmly grasped it.
Wang cried his head down, and his face was full of resentment and pleasure. If Meng Changxiong's crimes are carried out, the government of the country will be in charge of the second house.
Yan Junwei arrived soon and presented a pile of secret letters respectfully.
Emperor Zhou Wu took the secret letter and threw it in front of the Wang Clan, and said coldly, "Duke Meng shot Meng Changzhi, it is true. That's why he did it."
Wang and a pair of children quickly picked up the secret letter and checked it. After seeing the content, the expression of surprise was replaced by a huge panic.
"Meng Changzhi colluded with Xie Zhenghao and Shen Zhongliang in order to get rid of Duke Meng to seize military power. This is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and should be punishable by the nine tribes. For the sake of Duke Meng's righteous killing of relatives, I wanted to smear this matter secretly, but you are not. To find out, I have to fulfill you.” At this point, Emperor Zhou Wu paused, squeezed Sang Yu’s slightly warmed fingertips, and continued to talk, “Destroy the Yelu Emperor, Duke Meng has made great contributions. The crime of punishing the Nine Clan can be offset by military merits, but the capital crime of your family is unavoidable. Come on, put Meng's second room into the prison, and wait for the beginning of the spring!"
The guards promised to detain the three of them. Wang and Meng Yanyu had already fainted. Although Meng Yanqi didn't faint, she was also terrified. With tears and tears, she pulled Meng Changxiong's trouser legs and shouted, "Uncle Help." Only then did he know what it meant to regret at the beginning.
Meng Changxiong has already done his best to Erfang, and he sees through the nature of their ungratefulness, and does not want to intercede for them, but the people around him are watching, and he can't do too much, so he immediately kowtows, "I beg the emperor to take care of the minister They die." The tone was indifferent.
The Meng family kowtowed one after another.
As a member of the Meng family, both parents kneel down to beg for orders, and there are so many eyes around them watching, even if they don't want to, they have to be kind and righteous. Meng Sangyu took his hand out of the emperor's palm, lifted the skirt, slowly knelt in front of him, and said quietly, "I beg the emperor to forgive them not to die."
Having said that, her drooping eyes were full of suicide. If the emperor really spared Erfang's death, she must find a way to get her father to cut the grass and root Erfang in the future. It is true that you should not bully the young and poor. Although Wang and Meng Yanyu are not good, Meng Yanqi is a very scheming city government, and his ability is not weak. It will be a disaster to leave him sooner or later! And there must be someone secretly planning this matter today, otherwise the Wang clan is a widow, how can he bring the witnesses back from the border and hide them on the outskirts of Zhuangzi? After today, must ask father to pick out the person behind him and give him a tooth for a tooth!
Emperor Zhou Wu squeezed Meng Sangyu's chin, raised her small face, and smiled slightly when he saw the murderous intent in her eyes too late to put it away. He especially remembered what Sang Yu said-don't underestimate anyone, especially your enemy. Sang Yu's cold and terrible treatment of his enemies, and the incredible softness of his treatment of close people, it is this contradictory and pure quality that makes him infatuated. Since Sang Yu was unwilling, he must follow Sang Yu's wishes.
"Although there is a concubine begging for mercy," he pulled Sang Yu up hard, saw her instantly nervous expression, smiled with interest, his tone suddenly turned cold, "I can't tolerate it! Come, bring them down!"
Meng Sangyu breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, but a look of sadness appeared on his face. Duke Meng was lifted up by the emperor, and he hesitated to say, "The emperor, today's province..." After this happened, the emperor might not have the interest to stay any longer.
"Go in, Sang Yu hasn't come back for a long time." Emperor Zhou Wu grabbed Sang Yu's shoulders with an indescribable tenderness.
Duke Meng nodded quickly and promised, thinking of his previous doubts about the emperor, he felt ashamed. Since the person behind this is not the emperor, then he must call this person a dead end!
Seeing that the gate of the Guogong Mansion was tightly closed, the gate was heavily guarded by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and the surrounding nobles returned to the mansion in despair. thought that the provincial relatives had also been disturbed today, but didn't expect the emperor to take it seriously. It seems that Concubine De's weight in the emperor's heart is not light!
