Chapter 79 Okay, you're tired.
Ma Xun, after all, has been an official for many years, promises to be calm, and has sharp eyes.
His son assassinated the Holy Majesty, his house had already been stepped down by the people of the Sanfa Division a few days ago, but today it was King Yuanning who had never met before, and he immediately saw that the prince's trip had a deep meaning.
Perhaps, the gate of life is here.
The prince looked at him with a smile and said nothing, and took out a notebook, which was the report of Ma Chengyang's internal interrogation by the Sanju Department in the past few days.
On the document, Ma Chengyang signed and pledged, admitted to reselling the land, also admitted to using power for personal gain with the late King Rui, and also admitted that he and King Rui's former department intended to assassinate Shengjia.
The first two are okay, but the last one is enough to pull out the whole family of the Ma family, whoever needs to be cut and chopped.
No matter how calm Ma Xun was, his hands gradually began to shake. Ever since he lost power and was declared to be recovering from illness, he was actually under house arrest in the mansion. He only said that his son, King Mengrui, took care of him, and the business was getting better and better. I really don’t know why his son suddenly wanted To do this deed of punishing the nine clans.
When the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice went to the mansion to inquire in person, Ma Xun's head suddenly became dizzy, and he felt that his head was unreal.
Every day, he was thinking about who he should go to secretly to intercede with, and he secretly sought out King Rui's son, the Ruikang County King who was far away in the fiefdom.
But I don't know if it's because the county king has good eyes and ears, or if he really doesn't want to be entangled with his father's old friends, he just closed the door to thank the guests, and the county king didn't see the people Ma Xun sent.
So Ma Xun sneaked out of the mansion again, and went to beg Princess Duanshu, the daughter of King Rui, who knew that the princess cried and complained that her father was dead and kept going.
It's just that Ma Xun didn't know it. When the prince guessed that the reason for King Rui's murder was not simple, he secretly checked Princess Duanshu, and found out the reason why the princess had persecuted and disabled the concubine's outer room, and asked her to deal with it. Don't care.
Thinking that Ruiwang Baichen's family is only left with the county master and the county king's siblings, the family status is left in the cold.
The son of my late father's former retainer conspired to assassinate the emperor...
This is a mess, of course the princess will not be so stupid as to sharpen her head and face the difficulties.
A soft nail pushed Ma Xun back.
Ma Xun lamented that he was not willing to let go of the cold tea, and contacted several principals of the Sanfa Division, both openly and privately.But it was still a plot to assassinate the holy driver, and no one dared to respond.
Finally, the turning point came. The only one who can support this mess is King Yuanning.
But Ma Xun knew that he had to exchange something in order to usher in a real turning point.
Seeing his pensive look, King Yuanning asked, "Does Master Ma know why he is willing to admit the crime of punishing the nine clans, but not clever enough to justify it?"
Yes, why?
I can't endure the torture, so I just want to have fun?
The prince smiled and said: "Because Master Wen Yibin promised to the son that if he confessed the truth, he can ask His Majesty to kill only those involved in the case and spare the relatives of the Ma family." The above-mentioned document said, "Master Wen is not very good at playing this word game, but your son is still fooled."
Ma Xun looked carefully at the report again, and pointed out that Ma Xun is the former subordinate of King Rui, so it is impossible for him to be ignorant of this matter, please show your majesty how to deal with it.
He couldn't help but get angry, he and Wen Yibin used to be censors respectively, and they got along for many years, only Wen Yibin was cautious, but he didn't expect that he would get revenge for such a grievance.
Put together the report and say to Yuanning Wang: "Since the prince is willing to condescend to stay here, let the next official make clear the way."
King Yuanning waved his fan and asked, "Master Ma thinks, why did Wen Yushi target you? In fact, no matter how you investigate this case, there is no clue pointing to you. No matter how you look at it, your son was deceived by others."
Ma Xun hesitated for a moment, it was obvious that King Yuanning was Wei Yi's life-saving straw, so he also talked about the past.
The reason is actually very simple. In a word, when Bai Jingna was the concubine, the identity of the Wen family's relatives was almost spoiled by Ma Xun.
In this way, Liangzi was formed. Wen Yibin didn't care about it on the surface, but in fact he must have hated Ma Xun to the core.
But this matter is actually not Ma Xun's original intention, but King Rui's preference—Wen Yibin first clings to the branch of Yuanning King, and then wants to marry the royal family, which will definitely cause serious trouble in the future.
The chatterbox was opened, but it couldn't be closed for a while.
King Yuanning gained a lot from this trip, and learned something about the past that could not be found in the royal family records.
Let's start with the first emperor's dynasty.
Bai Jing's father's name is Bai Luo.
When he succeeded to the throne, there was a big royal coup.
There were four brothers in total, the first emperor Bai Luo, Rui Wang Bai Chen was lazy by nature, and he had been wandering around for a long time.
The remaining three brothers fought openly and secretly for Dayao's world.
Finally, for some unknown reason, at that time, the eldest prince's biological mother turned against her parents and children overnight.To the emperor's husband, there is a double-headed snake (※) that is causing trouble in the world, which indicates that the royal family will have chaos in the same room. In order to avoid bloodshed, the emperor asks the emperor to depose the prince and replace him with Bailuo.
The prince is not an illiterate dandy, and the palace also has some eyeliner.When he learned that his biological mother secretly asked the emperor to depose him, he was inexplicably and horrified, but what surprised him even more was that his father agreed.
In a hurry, he had to gather forces and launch a riot to force the palace.
I don't know that it was a night that was stained red by the blood of many people...
In the end, the eldest prince died in the chaos, and King Yuanning's father was credited with protecting him during the turmoil, and the two sons also died in front of the imperial court, so they were named Dayao's county king with a different surname.
As he said that, Ma Xun shook his head and sighed: "No historian dared to write about this matter in detail. The turmoil in the royal family back then was not mentioned again for a long time. I'm afraid you, my lord, don't know about it. After all, you are the son of the old king. A piece of the past, I don’t know if the old prince mentioned it to you.”
King Yuanning listened to Ma Xun's narration without changing his face, but his heart was not calm.
In Dayao's historical records, he only read that before the first emperor was crowned prince, there was a vision from heaven, and the eldest prince died in a fire in the palace, but he didn't mention the rest in detail.
The first emperor had four brothers?
The eldest prince who died in the rebellion, Bai Jing's father Bai Luo, King Rui Bai Chen, and one more...
who is it?
Ma Xun saw King Yuanning waving his folding fan lightly, with no emotion on his face, so he continued to narrate.Tell how he was appreciated by King Rui, and how he was recommended to the court as an official.
Wen Yibin got acquainted with the former king of Yuanning, and at first the former king of Yuanning and King Rui were inseparable, but for some reason, the two gradually drifted away, King Rui became more and more lazy, and the former king of Yuanning was conferred as a territory by the former emperor .
If the former king of Yuanning hadn't written a blood letter to the new emperor Bai Jing before his death, and made it known all over the world, just to ask the emperor to let his son return to the capital to accompany the king, I am afraid that the Yuanning king's branch is still approaching Funan and occupying the capital. Huan's fief "happy and happy".
After Ma Xun finished speaking, King Yuanning asked, "Master Ma, why did you forge the imperial edict with King Rui?"
Hearing this, Ma Xun laughed suddenly, and said: "It seems that the prince's eyes and ears are not so good that the lower officials fear him."
The prince smiled calmly: "Of course, this prince is just an ordinary person with a head on his shoulder. But even so, it is more than enough to control the life and death of Mr. Ma's family."
He was always smiling, but his words became sharper, and he looked at Ma Xun fixedly after he finished speaking.
Ma Xun broke the jar with a broken smile, and said: "The late emperor did leave a will, but the specific content, the prince did not even inform the lower officials. As for the content of the forged edict, the lower officials also don't know it in detail, only roughly know, once it is announced, It will endanger the honor of the current one in the Golden Luan Hall," he said with a wry smile, "Rui Weng... really died of a serious illness?"
Judging by his expression, it was determined that King Rui was silenced by the emperor.
Bai Zhou took another scapegoat for no reason.
Seeing that King Yuanning didn't answer, Ma Xun didn't say how he could help Ma Chengyang, so he said: "Your Majesty already knows everything, lord, you should fulfill your promise."
King Yuan Ning said with a smile: "Now that I can come to Mr. Ma, I have already stopped the Third Division's report in front of the imperial court, but I did not get the answer I wanted most."
The prince was a bit of a rogue who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Then he sighed and said: "The lower official really doesn't know the content of the true and false will, but... If the real one, Rui Weng didn't destroy it, the lower official guessed maybe In one hand."
After hearing this, King Yuanning wanted to leave, but he stopped at the door: "Master Ma, why are you pretending to be insane?"
Ma Xun was slightly stunned, then suddenly smiled and said: "Why? Doesn't the prince know?"
King Yuanning pondered for a while, not daring to ask any more questions.
He has gained a lot, but he also knows that Ma Xun does not really "know everything without saying anything" as he himself said.
Thinking about it carefully, King Rui ordered Ma Xun to marry Huang Wenjia and Bai Jing back then, it seemed that he was guarding against the Wen family becoming bigger.
Actually?
Probably because he was afraid of the former king of Yuanning who stepped on the lives of his two sons and came to power.
----------
When the prince returned to Chaolu Hall, the moon was already in the sky.
Seeing the prince coming, Xiao Ke'er quietly exited the palace gate.
Bai Tian had already fallen asleep, and King Yuan Ning went to the bed to look at him, and seeing his calm face, he felt that his spirit, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed a little.
He took out the report of the Sanfa Division that Ma Xun had read just now from his bosom, and threw it into the incense cauldron.
Watching the flames devour and digest the silk, and finally merge with the ashes of spices.
The imperial decree can be forged, and the reports of the Sanfa Division can also be forged.
Wang Ye looked at Xinghuo in a daze, and there was a soft sound behind him.
He turned around and saw that Bai Tian had already walked to the table, poured a glass of warm water, handed it to him, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
After a little hesitation, Bai Tian knew that he hadn't eaten yet, and made a gesture to call Xiao Ke'er in, but was stopped by the prince.
King Yuanning took the cup and said with a smile, "I don't feel hungry."
He was unceremoniously cast a blank look by Bai Tian, called Xiao Ke'er in, and ordered: "Go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare some appetizers for digestion."
When they were alone in the hall, Bai Tian said, "This time you didn't set a good example for me."
The prince smiled and said that you are right, and I will have a good meal in a while.
He has always been smiling and gentle in front of Bai Tian, but Bai Tian knows that he is actually very tired.
Can you not be tired?
Standing in front of the prince, watching him for a moment, Bai Tian suddenly pulled him to sit down at the table, turned around behind him, and squeezed his shoulders.
I have to say that there is something about the way of massaging during the day.
After only a pinch, King Yuanning felt that the hair on his back and neck exploded suddenly, like a weak electric current, stretching from Bai Tian's fingertips across his shoulders and neck, and going up all the way, converging on the top of his head Parkway - Goosebumps on my cheeks are so comfortable.
He pressed Bai Tian's hand and was about to get up.
Bai Zhou seemed to expect such a reaction from him, so he pressed his hands hard on his shoulders and said, "The muscles in your shoulders are all stiff, I'll relax them for you."
Under Bai Tian's insistence, the prince gradually relaxed.
He never knew that Bai Tian had such a small skill.
In a short while, his stiff right shoulder, which was a bit stiff, relaxed very much.
After briefly explaining the harvest during the day to the day, he wanted to stand up again: "Okay, you are tired."
Being punched by Bai Tian directly on the most sore shoulder muscle: "Sit honestly."
There was silence in the room for a while.
It wasn't until Bai Zhou felt that Wang Ye's shoulders were really not as tense and stiff as when he started to use them, he finally asked: "My injury is almost healed, can I go out?"
The prince said: "How do you want to go out?"
Bai Zhou smiled and said, "For example... go to the outskirts of the city."
King Yuanning didn't understand, so he pressed his hand and looked back at him.
Bai Tian blinked his eyes condescendingly, glanced at the door, and then smiled and said quietly: "I have two plans, I need to... See you, or wait for the Ma family to tell the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult." .”
