Chapter 671 Three in One(1/2)

The concubine's son Gaomen 55

"Accuse me of false accusation?" Gan looked at the eunuch who came to pass the message, but gently tapped the table with his fingers and then smiled: "Okay, go and report. I will go and report it immediately."

The little eunuch stepped out in fear and fear. Then Gan turned his face to look at the thoughtful Lin Yutong and smiled: "It seems that he really found a good son-in-law for you. This memorial was not written by you or Xue Heng, but only prepared by my son-in-law. It is not something that ordinary people can do if he can hold Chu Yuan's nose and ask him to follow the trend to bite the Gan family." Even Chu Yuan's thoughts were so accurate, which shows how his mental methods were. Can her daughter control her? The little uneasiness that was pressing down on her heart climbed up again.

Lin Yutong first smiled with Yourong, and then saw the worry flashing in Gan's eyes. After thinking about it, you will know what she was thinking, but she was really worried. But she couldn't explain it to her. The more she explained, the more she felt that she had trusted the Fourth Master too much. Lin Yutong smiled bitterly in her heart, and simply changed the topic: "Now, I ask Chu Yuan to put this matter openly to criticize you, and then you said that you framed the old ministers of the three dynasties just to avenge your own personal grudges. People's hearts are the most forgetful, and their mouths are turned upside down in an instant." As he said that, he quickly ordered Madam He, "Get an umbrella, go now."

Not only did they sue Gan, but they also sue themselves. They are fighting rabbits, and by the way they want to make themselves covered in mud.

Gan then stood up and calmed down, "Then let's go." As he said that, he looked back at Lin Yutong, "But you, the girl and the son-in-law, are you brave enough, aren't you afraid that I can't suppress Chu Yuan in the court?"

"If you really can't suppress it," Lin Yutong became serious when she looked at Gan's expression. "If you really can't suppress it, then we have to plan another way out." The previous plan to replace it would not work at all. This proves that you are not that material at all.

Gan immediately understood what Lin Yutong meant, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's OK!"

It was raining heavily. As soon as you left the hall, the cool and humid wind came to the pavement.

Lin Yutong followed Gan, Sanxi held an umbrella on the side, and several palace maids helped Lin Yutong carry her skirt. The boots on her feet were on the wet ground, and Lin Yutong had the urge to run. However, Gan was walking so slowly, so she was not going to defend herself, she was just going to the banquet.

In front of the hall are long and tall corridors. The mother and daughter are dressed in big clothes and come in a breeze.

The eunuch who was singing the name shouted, "Concubine Chen is here to Princess Yunyin is here." The tune was long, and the people inside turned around one by one with the long tune and looked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, two beautiful palace beauties came in. This made everyone lit up. Although Gan's reputation is very famous, not many people have actually seen her true face, especially men, who basically have no chance to meet the female family in the back house. Lin Yutong has always felt it was troublesome, and her appearance is always half-covered. Today, under the insistence of Mama He, she revealed her entire face. The mother and daughter are actually similar in appearance. They don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters. The ones walking in front are older, but they look like they are in their twenties, wearing a black palace outfit, which makes her look very majestic. The ones walking behind are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and compared with the people in front, they are less gentle and more cool. Especially in every move, they are in accordance with etiquette and have a different kind of freedom.

It is hard to hide the surprise of the people in this hall, but only Lin Changgen, who was standing among the nobles, had the most complicated expression. What about his wife and daughter? He smiled bitterly. After so many years, she was still as beautiful as she used to be. She had not changed at all! She wanted to look at her twice, but she was afraid that people would think too much. She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look there anymore.

Emperor Yongkang sat on the top and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth. His wife and daughter had a face, which was very respectable for him. Especially in this court, it was even more valuable to be able to suppress the venue in full view of the public.

Seeing the mother and daughter bow, he got up, walked down the imperial stairs, helped the person up in person, "Get up, get up."

This was the first time Chu Yuan had clearly seen Gan's appearance. Even if there was a palace banquet, she rarely attended. Even if he participated, he would not pay attention to the appearance of a woman hiding in the corner. When he saw her, his heart skipped a beat. Two words appeared in his mind to cause trouble!

That’s right! This is a disaster!

He frowned and then took back his mind. Whether it was a disaster was no longer the fault he should have. Now he was going to bite the mother and daughter. The more the emperor wanted to save them, the more chips he had in his hands. The emperor had to compromise, and the Chu family would be saved. As long as Duke Jin was in the house, the life of the Chu family would not be much worse. Jin Cheng'an helped to transfer people to the north, and he would be even less afraid that anyone would take revenge.

He had a plan in his heart before looking at Emperor Yongkang seriously: "Please make a clear decision."

Emperor Yongkang's face was stiff for a moment before he smiled awkwardly at Gan's family, then turned around and sat back on the dragon throne: "Concubine Chen, Prime Minister Chu sued you for false accusation, what do you say?"

The Gan family nodded slightly at Emperor Yongkang, then looked at Chu Yuan, pointed to Xue Heng who was kneeling on the side and said, "What do you mean is that the palace instructed this person to beat the drum of the sound of the sound of the sound of the drum and falsely accused you, right?"

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, saying that he had false accused, but he did not say that Xue Heng was under her instructions. But if the complainant had nothing to do with Gan, the logic would not make sense. His heart suddenly became raised, and Gan was really not a good person. Therefore, he glanced backwards and looked at Lin Yutong, "The Empress is in the palace, and I dare not instigate him." In other words, I cannot have evidence that you instigated Xue Heng, but outside the palace, there is no one doing this for you.

Everyone understood this meaning and couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong stood there, looking like I didn't understand anything. Xue Heng and Fang Zhao were suspicious, and they thought that Prime Minister Chu's guess should be close to the truth. Because it was indeed the princess who was looking for them. Xue Heng could still maintain his calmness, but Fang Zhao almost broke his power.

Marquis Jing'an kept paying attention to Fang Zhao, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong thoughtfully. Guo Changhe, who had retreated to the side, thought to himself. As expected, he was not sure now. The princess would come to him before, whether it was the emperor, her own, or the concubine Chen.

But no matter what others think, Gan looked at Chu Yuan: "Who is the Prime Minister Chu talking about? Please point it out in this hall in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court. Do you doubt who is doing business for me outside the palace and instigate this person to sue the emperor and falsely accus you of the imperial court."

Everyone was shocked. The mother and daughter were really interesting. The daughter was mentioned to others and were only fifteen or sixteen years old, so they could be calm. Gan was even more sharp when he came up, so he almost didn't say it clearly. Don't be insincere here. If you want to say who you want to be clear, you should talk openly, and don't have to hide it so much. The mother and daughter became open-minded husbands, and Chu Yuan became villains.

This is how Chu Yuan's face looks good, and his face suddenly became even more gloomy and he sneered: "I have been in the dynasty for forty years, and have been through three dynasties. I am loyal to the royal family. You are the noble concubine, and Princess Yunyin is also the imperial concubine." As he said that, he bowed up, "Since Princess Chen is talking about this, the old minister can only be sorry. What I mean is Princess Yunyin. The old minister suspects that it is Princess Yunyin instructing Xue Heng!"

Looking at Chu Yuan's fingers pointing towards him, Lin Yutong raised her head and smiled faintly.

Emperor Yongkang's eyes were deep for a moment, and he asked with a weak look: "My son Yunyin! What do you say?"

Lin Yutong felt that Emperor Yongkang's acting skills were great, and he paid special attention to the details regardless of the location. It was this time, and he did not forget to act, and wanted everyone to think that he was his biological child. This sounded like me, and she felt that she had goose bumps on her body, but she was also numb from the cracks of her bones, which made people shudder. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and called His Majesty. He could call himself my son without any pressure, but she couldn't really call him Father. She curled her body and saluted, "Your Majesty! I have something unknown, I want to ask Prime Minister Chu."

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "It's a confrontation! It's naturally mutual. Ask if you want to ask, just ask!" He also wanted to see how capable the daughter of Gan's daughter is. The situation in the hall changed rapidly. Therefore, it is impossible for some of these words to be previewed in advance. It is impossible for anyone to teach her. It is all about their respective adaptability and ability. The right to play in the hall can best see a person's ability and character.

Lin Yutong nodded and looked at Chu Yuan and asked, "Is this princess instructing someone to false accusation? This is not the point. The focus is on the word "false accusation"! What is false accusation? The act of fabricating facts, forging evidence, accusing, and frameing others is called false accusation." Then, she said, pointing to the memorandum that was still in Chu Yuan's hand, "Have you been questioned? Have you seen the evidence, including personal evidence and physical evidence? Has it been determined that it was false accusation? If so, then let's talk about whether this person was instructed by me."

Needless to say, everyone understands the rest. If the content in this memorial is not a false accusation, then the remaining problem is not a problem. Even if it is proved to be related to Princess Yunyin, so what? This is called revealing! Not only is there no mistake, but it has made contributions!

Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Yutong immediately. This princess was not just a little face but a brain, nor was she not young or a little uneasy. On the contrary, she was smart and sharp, which was rare among women. Most people habitually defend themselves first. Others criticize you for being guilty, but under the conditioned reflex, they defend themselves first to clear away the suspicion on their bodies. But she did not argue or argue, and pointed directly at the key to the problem.

Lin Yutong saw Chu Yuan's pupils shrink suddenly, and she smiled in her heart. She really thought she was easy to bully. She turned to look at Xue Heng on the ground, and then she said to Emperor Yongkang: "Your Majesty, although Xue Heng is a civilian, he has beaten the Dengwen Drum and submitted a memorial. Naturally, he should first try his case. He is the plaintiff. After that, he proved that he was a false accusation and that Prime Minister Chu, as the victim, has the right to hold those who false accused. Now, because of the so-called old ministers of the three dynasties, it would be fine if he did not investigate or investigate, but instead pursued the plaintiff's responsibility. If Emperor Taizu knew what His Majesty and all the great masters did, what should Emperor Taizu think? What was the significance of establishing the Dengwen Drum at the beginning?" As he said that, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Yongkang, "There are all people in the world who are Your Majesty's people. Why is there any difference between the severity?"

Everyone took a breath, so eloquent. Chu Yuan took advantage of the old ministers of the three dynasties to rely on his seniority, and this person was waiting for him here. These words stood firm in terms of reason and law.

If there is no reason, you will not ask anything, just because the other party's identity is the one who first asked the plaintiff for false accusation. This is in the hall. If any official below dares to ask the case like this, he will be labeled as a foolish official first. Now it is the emperor's turn. If he doesn't ask Chu Yuan's crime first, wouldn't he become a foolish monarch?

Chu Yuan's heart couldn't help but tremble for a moment. He originally planned to pull the mother and daughter into muddy water first, and then regardless of the others, they would have to be covered in mud. But now, these two people didn't jump into the pre-designed pit at all. Not only did they take a different approach, they also forced him to the edge of the cliff. His heart suddenly jumped fast. What should I do next? Do I have any trump cards?

When his eyes turned to Lin Yutong, his eyes lit up again. Princess Yunyin was not only the princess, but also the member of Duke Jin's Mansion. If this matter had something to do with Duke Jin's Mansion, she and Gan would have to come forward to clean up the mess. The collapse of Duke Jin's Mansion would not be beneficial to Princess Yunyin.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly and he immediately said to Emperor Yongkang: "It is the minister who is angry and attacked his heart, and it is all his fault. Princess Yunyin is right, so he should ask for his crime first."

As he said that, he presented the memorial with both hands and slowly knelt down.

This old fox! He can bend and stretch, he is really a character.

When Gan saw Lai Fu put the memorial on it, he said, "Your Majesty, since this matter is involved with me and Yun Yin, please allow us to stay and listen."

Emperor Yongkang took the note handed over by Lai Fu, nodded, "Authentication!" and ordered Lai Fu, "Give him a seat!"

Since it is not certain that it is a false accusation now, it has nothing to do with Concubine Chen and Princess Yunyin. Lai Fu cleverly brought two chairs and asked these two ancestors to sit down.

Emperor Yongkang opened the memorial again, "The other crimes will be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for trial. Now, I only ask about the crimes of treason listed in this memorial." As he said, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Looking down, it seemed that the minister standing below was a little blurred. He closed his eyes and handed the memorial to the prince Jin Yunshun, who stood aside and had no sense of existence. "I am very sad, come and ask."

Lin Yutong looked at Emperor Yongkang's face. The light in the hall was not bright. She could not see the expression on the other person's face clearly, but only his expression, no matter how well he concealed it, could tell that he was really uncomfortable.

Mrs. Gan glanced at Emperor Yongkang, and sat again with his eyes looking at his nose and nose.

Jin Yunshun took the note in his hand and felt heavy. He really couldn't figure out what the person sitting on the dragon chaise was thinking. He asked himself, how did he ask? This involved Concubine Chen. Thinking of the news that he received after the Dengwen drum sounded, it said that Li Cairen had beaten someone to go to Duke Jin's mansion to pick up the adopted child. His hands tightened, and the emperor was still on guard against him. Since Li Cairen and the Gan family were not in dealing with each other, it should be right that he would release some kindness to them. The emperor could be more careful when he saw that he treated his biological daughter well.

Thinking of this, he took the note in his hand and read it twice. The more he looked, the faster his heart beat faster. The note was prepared so well, which only means that he had been staring at Chu Yuan for more than a day or two.

For a moment, I immediately made a choice in my heart. I looked at Chu Yuan who was kneeling down in the hall and said, "When talking about cooperating with the enemy and selling the country, this note says that Gan Haichao found that you colluded with Bei Liao and smuggled grain and grass to Bei Liao, and found out that you had embezzled taxes and smeared the accounts by the disaster-free taxes in the area. Therefore, you were framed and convicted." As he said that, he looked at Xue Heng, "Is this right?"

How could Xue Heng know that this is true? He knew that the tax embezzlement was true. He really didn't know the others. When Princess Yun Yin sat in the hall, she knew it in her heart. The more expensive her identity was, the more she cherished her life. It proved that she had a backup plan for her to be so arrogant. So she nodded quickly: "That's true! Your Highness."

Jin Yunshun glanced at the person on the dragon throne, and saw that there was no unnecessary expression on his face, and then said, "Do you have any evidence, physical evidence?"

Xue Heng raised his head and looked at Lin Yutong in a vague way. He saw Lin Yutong's eyelids drooping down. He immediately said, "Yes! There is evidence."

"Where is the evidence?" Jin Yunshun asked immediately, "It will take time for the personal evidence to be brought. You can present the physical evidence first."

All he had was the evidence from Yunzhou. It was just the account book and the correspondence letters. The thing was taken up and the crime in the memorials. So even if this thing was taken out, it could not be taken out at this time. He turned his mind and said loudly: "Witness, the evidence is outside the palace."

Princess Yunyin will not make unprepared accounts, so she will naturally prepare them in advance. That's what he thought.

Lin Yutong really doesn't know if the witnesses and evidence are in place now. The Fourth Master is dealing with this matter, so it must have been there.

Gan glanced at Lin Yutong, saying that this blind trust! I really don’t know what to say.

The people in the hall looked at Xue Heng and then looked at Lin Yutong. If this was not instructed by someone with great hands and eyes, there would be a real ghost. The preparations were really complete. The witnesses were waiting outside.

"Xuan!" Before Jin Yunshun could speak, Emperor Yongkang suddenly opened his eyes and gave Lai Fu a faint command.

At this time, there were more than a dozen old men standing outside the palace. They were almost young, and they stood outside with oil umbrellas.

"It's been sixteen years." Gao Ming stood outside the palace wall, feeling a little emotional, "I haven't entered the palace for sixteen years." The feeling of being away from the center of power is really hard to describe.

The other people did not agree, but the expression on their faces already explained everything.

Gao Ming looked at the crowd and saw that the young man who had always followed them had not left, and he smiled and said, "Young man, go and have fun. This is not a place you can come."

The young man nodded and gestured, then stopped talking, and just stood there quietly, motionless.

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows and stopped asking. In fact, although they knew each other, some even familiar with each other, he didn't know how the others came from, and why the reasons gathered together, except for a few who contacted them and asked them to come to the capital.

He touched the account book in his arms, and his heart also jumped up. If he had the account book, he would have used it to negotiate terms with Chu Yuan, and his children and grandchildren would not have been wasted with him for many years. Yes, this account book and the so-called evidence were not theirs. But they didn't know why they appeared in the study.

Whether it was the things in the account book or the mysterious means, they all thought of the Royal Secret Guard. Everyone knew that there was such an institution, but they had never seen the true appearance of others. Apart from the Secret Guard, he really couldn't think of anyone else with such ability. But since it was arranged by the Secret Guard, then this is what the emperor meant. The emperor wanted to take Chu Yuan with their hands.

Isn’t this the opportunity that I have to wait for?

When he received the mysterious note, he rushed to the palace gate, but he didn't expect that there were so many old guys one after another. There was only one young man who made him feel strange, so he asked what he had just asked.

The wind blew and rained, and even with an umbrella, my shoulders were still wet. A few old guys were in poor health and seemed to be unable to stand. Gao Ming sighed in his heart, if it weren't for his children and grandchildren, who would have been willing to come to this muddy water?

I was impatient and nervous, and I heard the sound of horse hooves from afar. When I turned around, I saw a carriage running towards me. I thought there were still people from my fellow travelers, but I didn't expect that when I got closer, I heard the cry of the baby.

In such a weather, such a big thing happened in the palace. Which noble family is so decent and dares to bring their babies into the palace at this time?

In the teahouse not far away, the Fourth Master was holding a book in one hand and tea in the other. Guixi whispered from the side: "What just passed by was the carriage in our mansion. The palace picked up Brother Yuan from the palace."

The Fourth Master nodded and said he knew. Emperor Yongkang was afraid that Jin Cheng'an and Chu Yuan had too deep a bond. In order to appease Jin Cheng'an, he was anxious to take the child into the palace. But this was a bit unstoppable. Isn't this clear telling Jin Cheng'an that your secret activities have been noticed? He slowly put down the book, took a sip of tea, and looked outside, "How many people are coming with Gao Ming? Have you noticed?"

Guixi nodded, "There are seven in total. There are six more people, not brought by Mr. Gao Ming. In addition, there is another young man."

The few people Gao Ming contacted were all the results after hinting at Jin Shouli before. But the other six people were not their own intentions, but Guo Yi had prepared them long ago, and then sent the secret guards and asked someone to send them to them. Only this young man, let alone Guixi didn't know, he didn't know the origin of this man at this moment. He didn't prepare it himself, nor did Guo Yi find him. So who else would attack Chu Yuan?

Is it the Emperor? Or Kim Sung-an!

Gao Ming didn't wait long. After several women carrying the baby came in, a eunuch who had announced the imperial edict came over and asked them to go in.

The palace is still the same palace, and there is no change at all because they are not in the court. This makes people feel even more uncomfortable. They are so obsessed with them and want to come back. But when they can come back, they will only appear, and only they care about it...

Power is so ruthless and cold!

The one who is tall is still the emperor, and the dragon throne is still the same dragon throne. The person who sits on it is no longer the one who kowtowed to them back then.

For a moment, he became more and more trepidated, "Long live Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand and said, "Get up." He was so old that he would be so unkind that he would be the emperor.

Jin Yunshun on the side didn't know whether he wanted to continue asking, so he had to look back at Emperor Yongkang.

But when Emperor Yongkang closed his eyes, he went away sad again.
To be continued...
