Chapter 70
Song Xuan came from a famous family, with extraordinary literary talent and eloquence, and the words used to denounce Xie Tangru's various "evil deeds" were extremely concise and accurate.
There are several things written above.
One is that Xie Tangru had private contact with the deposed prince.
One is that Shang Qingyao hid his identity in Beijing at that time, and the news that he was hunted down by both King Duan and King Rong came from Wei Guogong's mansion.
The other is that Wei Guogong's mansion secretly raised secret guards.
The last one is that the people in Jietian Prison at that time were Xie Tangru's subordinates.
One pile after another, in the first emperor's reign, it was a serious crime enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.Even if the new emperor is lenient, these are not small mistakes that can be fooled around.
The most important thing is the information revealed by these things-the son of Wei Guogong has a heart of disobedience.
This is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
Song Xuan bowed his head and knelt down on the ground after he finished his report. He only dared to look at Shang Qingyao's expression from the corner of his eye. Under the darkness of the night, the emperor's expression of joy and anger also sank into the shadows. The emperor did not lose his temper. Angry, but Song Xuan, who is familiar with the lord he is following, understands in his heart that this attitude is more terrifying than a violent storm.Even he couldn't figure out the emperor's mood at this moment.
——Because he couldn't accurately judge Xie Tangru's position in the emperor's heart.
Enemies, favorites... or something more intimate?
Song Xuan has no way of guessing.
Shang Qingyao sat quietly at the top, condescendingly looking down at Song Xuan: "Are there any other things?"
Song Xuan hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "I dare to guess that the son of Duke Wei should have concealed other things, but I haven't found out yet..."
"Continue to investigate." The emperor cut off his words in a cold voice, "Is there anything else?"
"……there is none left."
"Then go down."
"Resignation." Song Xuan hesitated for a moment before cautiously restraining himself from asking the emperor why he didn't deal with Duke Wei's son now.He walked out of the hall, the cold wind blew through his vermilion official robe, Song Xuan walked down the steps step by step, slowly recalling the emperor's expression, he only remembered at this time, when he heard these news, the emperor's face seemed to have nothing Unexpectedly... Is this the emperor's indistinct emotion, or did he know what Wei Guogong's son had done a long time ago?
Song Xuan frowned, not sure.
Regarding the matter of Wei Guogong's son, His Majesty has shown too much kindness that is not like him.
…………
Xie Shizi's finishing work was neat and beautiful. Song Xuan stared at it for a long time before he found any clues. Naturally, he would not find out the details of Xie Shizi's details in a day or two, but he did find out another thing—— Shang Qingyao's assassination in the Imperial Garden.
The assassin mixed in with the imperial guards and wanted to leave the palace, but was recognized by Song Xuan who was passing by. He was not a familiar face, and he immediately became suspicious. As a result, the assassin ran away. There is no need to check it now, and he ordered it directly. The person was arrested and escorted to Shang Qingyao.
"Your Majesty, this person is the assassin who assassinated last night."
Today, Shang Qingyao only wore a uniform, which was sapphire blue, with peacock feathers inlaid around the neckline. It was very luxurious, and without raising his eyes, he ordered the Chief Eunuch, "Bring in the person caught in the morning."
"Yes." Not long after, two young eunuchs dragged a woman dressed like a court lady and walked in.
"This is..." Song Xuan still doesn't know why.
Shang Qingyao glanced at the chief eunuch, and the old eunuch who was good at perceiving words immediately said: "Lord Song, this is the person who wanted to tamper with His Majesty's wound medicine this morning. She has already confessed that she is in the same group as the assassin last night. .”
Hearing this, Song Xuan's face suddenly changed: "It's the minister who has neglected his duty and allowed such people with evil intentions to enter the palace."
"It's nothing to do with you." Shang Qingyao's tone was neither light nor heavy, and at some point, a translucent round bead appeared on his fingertips, about the size of a fingernail, and there was something faintly visible inside the bead, "Look. "
"I have so little knowledge, I didn't even see what it was?" Song Xuan took it with both hands and looked at it for a while.
Shang Qingyao said: "It's Gu. Gu from the Guifang clan."
"The Guifang clan is thousands of miles away, how could their methods appear in the palace?" Song Xuan frowned tightly.
The chief eunuch smiled and explained: "This is what the little lady-in-waiting wanted to drink in Her Majesty's medicine in the morning, and it just so happened that my family caught it."
Song Xuan glanced at the woman, even though she was stolen, there was not much panic on the woman's face, instead there was a sense of arrogance.
I have never seen such a daring assassin.
"Who ordered you to murder His Majesty?" Song Xuan asked coldly, only to get a soft laugh, "Heh."
The head eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Although this maid is not very old, she was already working in the palace when the late emperor was around."
It is a dark chess that has been buried for many years.
Shang Qingyao looked at the person who was brought over by Song Xuan. The man with an ordinary face was also the one who assassinated last night.
"Since she doesn't say it, you say it."
The emperor's voice was deep and full of coldness.
The man with an ordinary face raised his head, "Shouldn't your majesty already have the answer in his heart? I hope that your majesty will die, and at the same time, if you are noble enough to command people in our Guifang clan and are willing to work for them, looking at the entire capital, there is only ..." His voice was suddenly cut off, and a thin wolf pen passed through his throat accurately, stopping his unspoken words and the rest of his life, and the young emperor who threw out the pen covered his body from beginning to end. The shape didn't change for a moment.
"All killed."
The emperor's eyes were full of movement, his eyebrows and eyes were all under the shadows, and his voice was bone-chillingly cold.
The author has something to say: [Jiu Mi, the matter at hand has officially come to an end, and I will try my best to update it tomorrow~~]
