Love Like the Galaxy

Chapter 137: (1)

For the poor little girl who just pierced the sky, this is normal.

The three princes miraculously discovered that the girl was a different person. When saluting the emperor and all the ministers, he was respectful and humble, and there was even a bit of fear in his voice - just like the one who smashed the jade outside the palace just now It's not like she is the one who scolds the prince.

The oil pond hanging candles on the dome are high, and around every three steps there is a twelve-branched lantern of equal height, which illuminates the whole hall as bright as day. Below the throne, there were about twenty ministers sitting in the left and right rows according to their official rank. Most of them had seen it before, and a third of them were familiar faces. The emperor sat sideways on the throne in a rage, and on the left was Cui Hou, who was still crying while pulling his sleeve.

Shao Shang thought to himself, the emperor still has feelings for Ling Budo, and only announced that there are so many people, and there are several confidants who can bring the rhythm; Hu Tsunami 'please Your Majesty to deal with Ling Buxuan and uphold the country's laws', then it is not easy to step down.

"Your Majesty, even if Shuzi commits a monstrous mistake, you have to forgive me..." - When Shao Shang and the third prince entered the hall, they heard Cui You say this with snot and tears. one sentence.

Sighs. People are really different. They were also deceived and kept in the dark. Even at this time, Cui You was still confused, but he didn't even think about it.

Perhaps, she is really a merciless person.

The third prince strode to the side of Cui Hou and knelt down. The emperor did not look at him, but only waved to Shaoshang, who then knelt down to the lower right of the emperor, and then arranged The machine of sleeves peeked at the throne above, and couldn't help but be startled.

Uncle Huang has a good temperament, even if he sits on the dragon chair, he will not change his nature. When he was in the Changqiu Palace, he was usually kind and cheerful, but when he was with the concubine Yue, he often smiled helplessly, and even in the Shangshutai, there were no more than three idle black belly-because he was very wise, three belly black is basically enough to clean up the affairs of the state. That's it; in case of major state affairs, just add a little more stratagem.

However, at this time, the emperor exuded an irresistible hostility, with thick eyebrows and a dark complexion, and the anger in his eyes was difficult to change - that is, the three princes and Jiuqing defected to the enemy together, and the queen Yue Fei wanted to follow him Divorce is just that.

Shao Shang sighed. As usual, she would never dare to touch the emperor's bad head, but now even if the emperor's old man is angry, she still has to ask for it.

For the banquet, my nephew ordered the children not to go there. If it wasn't for the trivial matter of Chunyu and Ling Yi, my father and mother might not have made trouble in the later fields! But—"

He took a deep breath, "It's one thing to be angry and contemptuous, but it's another thing to kill and set fire! No matter how wronged the Hof people are, he can't kill his father just because he was wronged for his mother. Ah! Killing the biological father is unbearable, and my mother was so angry that she didn't eat for a day, I can't believe that the world is so mad and unbearable!"

These words are reasonable and reasonable, and there is a sound of approval around them.

The emperor was silent, Yu Hou smiled and said: "Sir, don't be angry, sit down first. Oh, by the way, how is the health of the old princess Ruyang. I heard about half a month ago. The old princess has already had a hard time getting in."

Prince Ruyang's heir was stagnant: "...My mother has been getting better a few days ago, and her diet and diet are as usual."

Yu Hou said with a smile: "So it is, very good, very good."

Prince Ruyang was displeased: "What does Marquis Yu mean?"

It's a good report - don't stare at me, the prince, I'm doing this for the good of Ruyang's palace."

Prince Ruyang's face turned red.

In fact, he really has no friendship with the Ling family, but the mother is his own mother after all. agree.

"The matter of my mother is not deliberately deceived by the Ruyang palace, it is, it is unexpected..." Prince Ruyang looked difficult, "Your Majesty, my mother is confused, but Yuchang County Master is innocent. Ah! She was young and widowed, always virtuous and self-defeating, never arrogant and domineering.

He actually choked up when he said, "After the **** case, Chunyu's mother and son fled to their mother overnight, like a bird in shock! Fortunately, Chunyu's relationship with her mother is close, and they have kept carrier pigeons for more than ten years. Last night, after my mother got the letter, she immediately sent a family general to rescue her. At this time, Nu Ying will be a widow again..."

A fat courtier with a slanted beard stood up abruptly and said loudly: "What the prince said! Whoever has no relatives, whoever has no reason! Your Majesty, the minister will not hide it, My sister is the continuation of Ling Lao Er! A ​​few years ago, the world was chaotic. She died two husbands-in-law in a row, and she managed to marry Ling Lao Er, which is considered a harmonious husband and wife. Who knows that overnight, she became a widow again! Now She is looking for life and death at home, who is the minister to reason with! Ling Budoubt wants to take grievances for his mother, so he will go to Ling Yi, why should he kill them all? Have you grown up!"

The Duke of Dayue frowned and said, "Don't be sensational. You are really bloodthirsty, and you will kill them all. How come your sister's children are still alive. Why don't you sit down quickly!"

Another black-faced and slightly short-statured adult said indignantly: "He has killed a lot of people! Ling Lao Er and Ling Lao San's eldest sons are dead casualties. hurt..."

Zhongyue Hou said: "Knife and gun have no eyes, and you are dead and alive during the confrontation. Who cares who's son and who's son-in-law."

The black-faced adults paused and sat back angrily - Shao Shang immediately understood that this black-faced daughter was probably married to a cousin of Ling Buxuan.

An adult with a white face and a young beard straightened his body and said to Ji Zun, who was facing the side: "Master Ji, you are the Tingwei, don't you say a word?"

Under the lights, Ji Zun's face was especially ravaged. He only listened to him: "Last night, Ling did not doubt commit a number of serious crimes, murdering his father, arrogance, cheating soldiers, deceiving the East Palace, disrupting the government, regardless of the grievances of Ling's husband and wife, regardless of the grievances of Ling's father and son, the old minister only asks the country today. The law of the king! If these charges are confirmed one by one, Ling Budo will be guilty of death!"

Shao Shang secretly screamed bad, Jiang is still old and hot, Ji Laoer is the key.

Cui Hou stood up, pointed at Ji Zun and said eagerly: "Ji Laoer, you, you... Zisheng also watched him grow up, and you taught him to see punishment when he was fourteen. The case is legal...he is now suffocating under the cliff, how can you fall into the pit!" He endured and cried again.

Ji Zun was like an old rock, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

The white-faced and short-bearded adult straightened up and raised his arms to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is common sense for people to hide from each other, and if you adults are concerned about it, you will be in chaos. With all kinds of hardships, we shouldn't mess with the military and the six military camps that almost made trouble. If your Majesty doesn't punish you today, I'm afraid that future disasters will continue!"

Da Sikong Cai Yun patted his thigh and praised: "This is justified!"

The man with the crooked beard seemed to be inspired, and he also cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I know that you are thinking about the old feelings of the Huo family, but the three brothers of the Ling family have also been with me for decades. Although Ling Yi is weak, he fought with us from Fengxian with one shot and one shot! Now his family has almost been wiped out, you can't help but decide for them!"

"Your Majesty, Ling Budo can kill even his own father, so it is obvious that he is cold and vicious, and animals are not as good as animals. Don't think about your love for raising him!"

Then the other dozen ministers also responded, or called, or cried...

"Enough is enough!"

A high-pitched scolding sounded, and everyone quickly turned their heads to look, only to see the third prince suddenly burst into anger.

The three princes were covered with frost, and his icy eyes swept over the ministers one by one: "Just talking over and over again, what is the difference from this morning! As a minister, I don't think about what happened last night. The strangeness in it is that you only know that you are caring for your in-laws, chatting and tangled, what is the use of you! Are you taking the rank of the imperial court or his Ling family!"

Under the shock of the three princes, all the ministers were silent for a while.

The emperor turned his head slightly and glanced at his son with a complicated expression; the two Yue Hou looked at their nephew with both pride and embarrassment; Yu Hou smiled and said nothing. He skillfully moved the light wine in front of Yuhou's seat to him.

"Zisheng was raised in Changqiu Palace since he was a child, and his father took care of him. I waited for each other, even if he was a blind man, I could see that he had a bright future, which is limitless! He is crazy! It's still stupid, so he ran to destroy his father's family, and let you guys who are worse than blind people come to condemn him?! You should pick up your brains that you haven't used for a long time and think about it. Why on earth would you do such a bizarre thing, rather than chattering here and repeating the same old tune!"

Cui Hou said while wiping his tears: "What the Third Highness said is that there must be something strange in this!"

After a while, the white-faced and young-bearded man tentatively said, "I dare to ask the third highness, what does your highness think is strange?"

"Gu don't know, anyway, Gu knows there must be a secret. As for what secret, shouldn't you wait to think about it? Otherwise, what's the use of all the ministers?!" The third prince was simply arrogant and righteous.

Shao Shang continued to sigh.

Men always look forward to the harmony and happiness of wives and concubines, but that is just a legend. In fact, either the monarch is strong and the minister is weak, or the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, with few exceptions. However, compared to the prince who couldn't handle even a few middle-level ministers, the strength of the third prince was obviously much better.

Da Sikong Cai Yun glanced at Yu Hou, Yu Hou nodded indifferently, Cai Yun cupped his hands and said: "The matter is rushed, there are many opinions, I don't know what the third highness has opinions, why don't you tell me? Your Majesty and the foolish minister wait and listen."

Shao Shang secretly scolded: Old slick, and your future niece-in-law is a natural pair!

The third prince was satisfied with the current atmosphere, and said calmly: "Mr. Cheng, tell me. Last night, you told Father Prince Sheng that he was going to the Ling family's other courtyard. How did you find out? of."

As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes were salvoed on the slender girl who had been silent since entering the hall.

The man with white face and little beard said, "It turns out that it's Mrs. Cheng, and Ling Budoubt is your future husband-in-law. Are you here to clarify for her today?"

The third prince grabbed the conversation: "Sir Ding also said that it is normal for people to hide their relatives, so what if Mrs. Cheng wanted to beg for mercy?"

Master Ding choked and replied: "Miss Cheng, although Ling Budo has committed a heinous crime, after all, he has an alliance with you by marriage, how could you sue him for his crimes last night? "

The ministers: ...you have already said the truth, so naturally we don't dare to "what's wrong".

Yu Hou chuckled lightly, and came out to be a peacemaker: "Master Ding, don't be impatient, listen to what Miss Cheng has to say. Mrs. Cheng, did Zisheng tell you the inside story? , you can come together."

Cui Hou said vigorously: "That's right, you can talk about it, Shaoshang!"

Shao Shang hung his head like a confused and helpless little girl: "Before last night, Lord Zisheng didn't say anything to his concubine."

Marquis Yu said suspiciously: "Then how do you know that Zisheng will go out of the city last night, and how do you know that he will be detrimental to his father's family?"

Lord, have you never felt that there is something strange about Lord Zisheng?"

The ministers: You said so, how can we say that we didn’t notice anything—then there were a few vague voices.

"I remember that time in the Xinghua Courtyard, the concubine who served the Hof people told her concubine that the Hof people dote on her son very much, and they are not allowed to go to any higher places. But the concubine's status Ming remembers that Lord Zisheng once said that when he was young, his father would often lift him up to play with him. Do you think it is strange?" Shaoshang said.

In the end, General Wu said: "What's strange, two unrelated things."

"No." Shaoshang was a little helpless, "If the Hof people don't even allow their son to go to a slightly higher place, how can Linghou 'often' lift his son up and throw him?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and Master Ding said: "Perhaps the Hof people are convinced that the son-in-law will not fall and hurt the child, maybe Ling Hou carries the Hof people to play with his son... This is just a trivial matter of women and children in the house, what's the matter? Worth messing with!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The emperor suddenly said: "No, Junhua was sterile for several years, and it was not easy to get it, so he was very strict with his son. Even at home, Ling Yi never dared to lift a high throw to pick up his son. Shang, go on."

All the ministers froze.

Shao Shang bowed respectfully: "If there is only one piece, the concubine will not be suspicious... Dare to ask the general, do you know how the mother and son of the Hof people came back after they were separated?"

General Wu was puzzled: "What do you mean? Didn't it mean that she came to the door shortly after Ling Yi's continuation of the string, and she was still making trouble. What's the matter?"

Shao Shang asked: "Yu Hou, did you hear that too?"

Yu Hou said: "Isn't that so?"

"That's not right!" Cui You shouted, "Junhua didn't find her by himself, I brought her back!"

The emperor also looked surprised.

The man with the crooked beard said: "How come, I heard that the women at home said that the Hof people found it by themselves, and they beat and scolded Ling Yi, saying that he had no conscience to forget their mother and son. Live or die."

Come back! This, this... This Your Majesty knows...!"

There was a lot of discussion among the ministers.

Marquis Yu thoughtfully and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me... Back then, when the attack was fierce, the generals and ministers around His Majesty rarely had time to spare. When the Hof people returned from being separated, I'm lobbying a few celebrities in Hexi, and Lao Wu and the rest of the generals also have their own errands, so we all heard about it afterwards."

The emperor nodded: "That's right. At that time, there was only Cui You, who was training scouts, by my side. Ling Yi just got married and hadn't left yet - Junhua was indeed found by Cui You. back."

General Wu's mind is not as delicate as Yuhou, and he still said: "So what?"

Shao Shang looked at Cui You eagerly: "Uncle Cui, you grew up with Hof people, don't you think what happened back then was so strange? It's not like Ling Hou never took a concubine. It's okay to die because of Chunyu's family. At that time, Chunyu's family was pregnant, and the Hof people pretended to agree, and then they will slowly find a way to drive Chunyu's family away. It's not that she never did it before. "

The dark-faced adult said loudly: "I am from Rao County, but I also heard that the Hof people are always violent and short-tempered. Before General Huo Chong was alive, of course she could slowly toss Ji. Concubine, but then General Huo Chong passed away and she has no support, so she has to live or die!"

Shao Shang said: "No. At that time, the irritability of the Hof people was different from the past. It was not because the Chunyu family did not enter the Ling family, but they had to kill the Chunyu family! His Royal Highness, this matter You should know."

Prince Ruyang saw that all the rulers and ministers were looking at him, and hurriedly said: "That's right! My mother used to say that Hof's people were ruthless. At that time, my mother saw that His Majesty took pity on the loyalty and loyalty of the Huo family, and she had already decided Taking a step back and forgetting, I plan to wait for Chunyu to give birth to a child and find her another wishful son-in-law—Mrs. Chunyu also agreed. Who knows that the Hof people will not give up, and they will definitely kill Mrs. Chunyu, which is why they end the marriage of!"

There were whispers in the hall for a while, and the white-faced Lord Ding slowly said: "It's still a trivial matter, what does it matter if you get it back or come back by yourself? It's not enough to force Ling Hou to abandon the Chunyu clan, Huo Huo Madam had to kill her and then hurry up, and then she would be mad at the end of the marriage, I can't tell, she would have gone mad at that time..."

Cui Hou was about to scold back when Shaoshang hurriedly said: "If the Hof people are not crazy! If she has always pretended to be crazy!"

A spring thunder exploded out of thin air outside the hall, and all the ministers and the emperor were astonished.

The emperor only stared at Shaoshang: "Go on."

Shaoshang felt a dull pain in his chest, and continued: "After marrying Lord Zisheng, my mother once went to inquire about the past of the Huo Ling family, and heard that "the people of Hof find their own way back." I'm afraid, most people in the entire capital have heard of this. No one cares, I think, as long as anyone who is interested in inquiries carefully, they will find that the news of 'the Hof people found their own way' is actually Xing Xing. It was released by the flower garden."

Cui You was speechless: "You mean, Junhua did it himself? This, this, why is this..."

"Uncle Cui, think about the appearance of the Hoffman before her death, do you really think she is crazy?" Shao Shang had tears in his eyes.

Cui You recalled the situation that night, Huo Junhua's heart-wrenching scream - 'I'm blind, I'm a fool, if only I would marry you'... He was struck by lightning , there is a faint guess in my heart.

The emperor turned around and said to Shaoshang, "Anything else?"

"Yes!" Shaoshang responded calmly.

"Over the years, Zi Sheng has not been able to serve the people of Hof. Your Majesty should know the reason."

The emperor said: "Naturally know! Because every time Junhua sees Zisheng, he will think of Ling Yi, and the madness will be worse!"

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, do you really think Lord Zisheng and Linghou are similar?" Shaoshang said loudly.

The emperor began to breathe unsteadily, his pupils dilated.

Shao Shang dared to look directly at the emperor: "My concubine thinks that Lord Zisheng is nothing like Ling Hou. He obviously looks like a Hof person, and Dayue Hou once said that the Hof people He looks exactly like his brother, General Huo Chong, so—"

"So, what Zi Sheng really looks like should be General Huo Chong?" The third prince blurted out.

Shao Shang turned around and said to the ministers: "My concubine is young, but most of the adults have seen General Huo Chong, so I dare you to think about it carefully. Who does it look like?!"

There was another spring thunder outside the hall, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, and everyone's complexion changed brilliantly.

"Speak up!" The emperor gasped, holding the armrest tightly with both hands.

"The concubine had a vague suspicion in her body and mind, but she did not dare to speak out. Until last night, Lord Zisheng personally told his concubine that he was not the son of Linghou, but the deceased Huohou. Son. Back then when the heavy army besieged the lonely city, Ling Hou was able to pass through the thieves and killed the Huo family, and what he did last night was to take revenge!"

As soon as these words came out, the sound of exclamations and exclamations in the hall one after another, even Yu Hou, who was always calm, was also shocked, straightened up from his seat, and General Wu was even more slapped Overturned the wine bottle.

In addition to the ups and downs of Da Yue Hou Yu, he also gave Shao Shang a special look, thinking that this little girl is smart and wise. If she came up and said this, I am afraid that everyone will scold her for nonsense; but she first showed weakness, and then progressively, interlocking, leading everyone in the hall to the key point, and then A heavy hammer hit, and finally received a miraculous effect.

After being shocked for a while, the atmosphere in the hall was like a fuse that was lit, and it burst open.

Master Crooked Beard stood up in anger: "Nonsense! I have never heard of this. When Huo Chong guarded the isolated city, he blocked 200,000 thieves with a mere thousand troops. I admire and appreciate it very much! But just because Ling Yi didn't die in the battle of defending the city, he can't be said to be a thief inside and out!"

The black-faced adult shouted: "Exactly! General Huo Chong loves the people of Hof, and Ling Yi is not good at fighting, so every time he goes to battle, General Huo Chong puts Ling Yi in a safe place behind him, Don't let him be in danger, we all know that! The lonely city is backed by Xunyang Mountain, and the three brothers of the Ling family are arranged to guard the food and grass there. After the city is broken, the Ling family naturally runs into the enemy at the end!"

Such a coincidence!"

Prince Ruyang retorted softly: "Isn't it because our rescue troops went in time? Only half a day after the city was broken, General Wu arrived with his troops..."

General Wu said: "You can't say that. When defending the city is the most difficult, how can you take care of the former army and the queen, and the charge is still the rear of the palace, but only if you put all the soldiers on the wall to defend the city. Yes! I was a little strange at the time, if women, children, young and old were placed under the Xunyang Mountain in the back of the city, there would be some truth, but the three brothers of the Ling family and their trilogy are all brave, why are they still hiding there?"

The corner of Zhongyuehou's mouth crooked: "Could it be that Ling Yi is greedy for life and fear of death, and refuses to go out?"

The man with the crooked beard is still roaring to himself: "How can you spit people! I can't say that Ling Yi is protecting women and children."

What kind of women and children are protected by human hands, of course, to fight against the enemy on the city wall! I know that your brothers and sisters have depended on each other for many years and have a deep friendship, but you can't be against your conscience!"

"What kind of conscience! If Ling Yi is really a thief inside and out, will I be merciful! But now, with Ling Wuxuan's words alone, you must condemn the Ling family to death!"

"That's right! It happened more than ten years ago, and the three Ling brothers are dead again. Now there is no evidence of death, so it's not up to someone to say!"

"That's not necessarily true. Even if the Linghou brothers were alive, would they honestly admit that their family was a thief? That was the most difficult time for our majesty. Ling Yiruo really put a knife in the back, The crime is much more powerful than Peng Zhen!"

"What do you do with so much nonsense, there is evidence to say evidence, no nonsense!"

"Okay!" The third prince couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted sharply, "The father is still here, you dare to lose your honor in front of the king!"

The ministers reluctantly sat back and looked at the meaning of the person on the dragon chair.

Who knows when the emperor is leaning on the armrest, covering his face with one hand, tears rolling down from the palm of his hand.

The ministers were silent.

"It turns out that he is not Ah Li, he is Ah Xie." The emperor slowly put down his palm, revealing an old face full of tears, "A Xie is two months older than Ah Li. Ah Xie was born. When he came down, he jumped around and laughed when he saw people. But Ah Li was frail and thin, so Jun Hua insisted on taking Ah Xie's name, Ling Budo, Huo Budo...hehe, hehe..."

Seeing this situation, Marquis Yu and the others already knew it, but the courtiers who had been speaking for Ling Yi were shocked.

Shao Shang quietly wiped away his tears, thinking to himself, it turns out that his name is A Xie - Xie is a kind of ancient strange beast, terrifying and brave.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the white-faced Ding hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't judge this matter yet, it's not surprising that your nephew and uncle are similar, and Ling Buzhusheng looks exactly like General Huo Chong..."

"But what if he is really Huo Chong's son?" Yu Hou interrupted him.

General Wu continued: "Yes, the son of the hero, did he just die in vain?"

Prince Ruyang held his head and said sadly: "You two adults also have a relationship with the Ling family, why don't you speak for the Ling family..."

Yu Hou touched his nose and smiled: "I am not familiar with that clan brother, I have never seen his daughter. Old Wu, tell me, the one who married the daughter of the Ling family. But your cousin."

"Forget it." General Wu sneered, "When I was young and poor, I never saw any relatives come to help. At that time, I thought all my relatives had died long ago. I made a lot of tricks, and my relatives came to look for me one by one. I was surprised, because as soon as people rose to prominence, more relatives would follow."

Da Sikong Cai Yun and the two Yue Hous laughed, the Ding Master looked ugly.

General Wu said: "Although I am also from Jingfang County, I can't talk about friendship with Huo Chong. Because I have a bad temper and like to kill people and fight, he always scolds me, yes Because I don't like to be close to him."

Sir Ding's expressions gradually improved.

"But..." General Wu continued, "When guarding that lonely city, everyone knew that it was a near-death situation. I should have gone, but I was worried that my mother would be unsupported, so I hesitated for a long time. , I heard that Huo Chong took orders and left. Over the years, I have often wondered, if the person who went there was me, and those colleagues saw me dead, would they take care of my old mother and child, or step on it. "

The hall was quiet again, no one dared to answer.

The Hou of Dayue frowned and said, "Nonsense, you are a pioneer, how can you defend the city."

General Wu said neither yin nor yang: "I like to play the vanguard, you are a scholar, Lao Yu can only use his mouth. But there are always others who can defend the city. Why didn't anyone volunteer at that time?"

The generals who spoke for the Ling family stopped talking. Marquis Yu twitched the corners of his mouth: "It seems that you have grown up and know how to talk in a roundabout way."

The white-faced Lord Ding couldn't hold it anymore, his forehead was covered with sweaty oil, and he shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister again! This is a big matter, Don't make a rash decision about which son Ling Budo is from! Could it be that Ling Hou doesn't even recognize his own son? I have never heard Ling Hou have the slightest doubt for so many years..."

Seven or eight points similar?" Shao Shang asked in a low voice.

Master Ding was caught by surprise and said angrily: "No matter how similar, Ling Hou will not even be able to distinguish his own son!"

Cui Hou suddenly realized, and immediately said: "That's why Junhua is hiding in the countryside and refuses to come back, she wants to wait a few more years, and then come back when Zisheng looks different, who knows I found it after more than a year! She didn't really want to kill the Chunyu clan, but she wanted to make things out of control, and then took the opportunity to break up with Ling Yi, so that Ling Yi could not see his son..."

Master Ding sneered: "Cui Hou, don't be self-righteous, how affectionate your Majesty is with General Huo Chong, why did the Hof people hide for a few years, and tell Your Majesty the whole story directly, will Your Majesty not be for her? Call the shots?! If Ling Yi really killed Huo Chong, the hundred Ling clan would also be executed by the clan!"

Cui You was at a loss for words.

"—because the people of Hof are worried that no one will believe her." Tonight's noisy so far, Dayue Hou speaks for the first time, and everyone goes to see him.

He repeated, "Because the Hof people thought that no one believed her-that time when the courtiers and sisters were in danger, His Majesty once said that the words of the Hof people will never be believed in this life-so, the Hof people plan to search by themselves Evidence of Linghou collaborating with the enemy."

Shao Shang closed his eyes in pain.

Master Ding's eyes moved, and he said coldly: "Although I am in Rao County, I have heard that the Hof people love to lie since childhood. The rumors that framed Yue Niangniang were more than half a star! When the Huo family died in the city, Ling Budo was only five or six years old, what if the Hof people lied to the children every day because they hated Ling Hou, and Ling Budo believed it to be true?"

When everyone thinks about it carefully, it is really possible.

Master Ding refused to back down: "If Ling Wusu was deceived by the Hof people and thought he was the son of Huo Chong, but he was actually the son of Ling, then he still committed the crime of murdering his father!"

Another person said: "Since the Ling family is hiding in Xunyang Mountain, how did the two children exchange?"

"In short, this matter is full of doubts, please, Your Majesty, investigate carefully!"

Shao Shang felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, his eyes were blurred, and his sense of touch was a little dull. She didn't have the strength to act, so she tried to raise her voice and said, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something, with a contemplative look on his face, and only woke up when he heard the call.

Shao Shang kowtowed with tears and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine finally understands Lord Zisheng's difficulties today." Her eyes slowly swept across the people in the hall.

"Time has changed, Lord Zisheng not only has no evidence for Linghou's collaborating with the enemy, he can't even prove who he is! If Linghou is dead, it is called death without proof; but if Linghou is alive, he Still biting to death, Lord Zisheng is his son—how can a son kill his father!"

"The concubine finally understands that Lord Zisheng is indeed desperate, and he did this last night."

Hearing this, the third prince finally understood the ins and outs, and beat his legs again and again with discomfort. Cui Hou cried bitterly: "Zisheng, poor child...!"

The long silent Ji Zun suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to say who Ling Budo's son is, but even if there is an emergency! In case he is Huo..."

"I have a way to prove it."

Before Ji Laoer finished speaking, the emperor suddenly interrupted, and all the ministers looked at him in surprise, joy or panic. The emperor rubbed his temples with one hand and swung down with the other: "Don't talk for now, let me think about it."

Therefore, no one dared to make a sound, and the needle falling in the hall could be heard.

After some time, the emperor raised his head and asked General Wu, "Do you remember, Brother Huo Chong has a birthmark on his body?"

General Wu was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I just said that I am not close to General Huo."

Then the emperor went to see Cui Hou, and Cui You also wondered: "Brother Huo Chong is several years older than Chen, and when Chen was playing on the beach, the Huo brothers were going to marry. Besides, Brother Huo is so particular about neat clothes, thoughtful etiquette, never willing to show his chest, no one knows..."

The emperor's eyes turned again, Yuhou and the two Yuehous immediately said 'We are from the next county'.

"—Slow down." Prince Ruyang thought hard, suddenly patted his head, and said loudly, "I remember. Huo Chong does have a birthmark, just on his chest. That year, he and His Majesty rolled back in mud. For fear of my mother's blame, I stole firewood to burn the bath water!"

"That's right!" The emperor clapped his hands heavily, "That birthmark is as big as two palms! Huo Chong also told us not to tell us, because someone in his ancestors had seen the shape and location of the birthmark, Then he died under the curse of witchcraft!"

"Your Majesty has a good memory!" Prince Ruyang couldn't help admiring, "We were less than ten years old at that time, and it's been over forty years in a blink of an eye! Your Majesty still remembers this trivial matter."

"...It was Ah Xie's full moon banquet, and we were all drunk." The emperor has an excellent memory, but after all, it was a drunken remark from more than 20 years ago, and it is inevitable to recall slowly. "While lying on the wine case, Brother Huo Chong suddenly said that Ah Xie has the exact same birthmark as him, but the size and location are different."

Ji Zun finally let out a long sigh of relief: "That's very good, the minister will dispatch people to rescue Zisheng from the bottom of the cliff, and see if there is that birthmark!"

The ministers who spoke for the Ling family couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If Ling Wusu was really surnamed Huo, the first one would not constitute a major crime of murdering his father, and the second emperor would certainly save his life - there is no need to say anything else, because the crime of recruiting soldiers is a permissible crime. If the emperor refuses to pursue the issue of negotiation, no one can do anything about it.

However, what they didn't know was that Cui Hou and the third prince were equally uneasy.

As far as Cui You is concerned, if Ling is surnamed Ling, he is Huo Junhua's son, and he has to protect him; if his surname is Huo, he is Huo Chong's son Junhua's nephew, and he also wants to protect him.

The third prince also doesn't care who Ling Budo's son is.
