Marriage of the Di Daughter

The word "slow" made King Cheng's heart sink.

Although he was not afraid of Emperor Hong Xiao in his heart, he could not refute Emperor Hong Xiao's views in front of all civil and military officials. Obviously, the current Hong Xiaodi has clearly favored Jiang Li. Although he knew that Emperor Hong Xiao wanted to implicate Princess Yongning with the case of Xue's family, Jiang Li's statement was indeed convincing at the moment.

Reasonable and reasonable, to exonerate Xue Huaiyuan, "reason" is not enough, "feeling" comes together, but Jiang Li used such an irresistible method to wash away Xue Huaiyuan's grievances step by step.

The ministers who came to understand looked at Jiang Li with strange eyes. This kind of court discussion is really amazing.

Jiang Yuanbai also stared at his daughter as if he didn't recognize her. He knew that Jiang Li was smart, and Jiang Li was probably the smartest among the younger generations of the Jiang family. But such court methods are too much, and Jiang Yuanbai even wonders in his heart whether Jiang Li's actions today will be guided by an expert. Otherwise, it should be impossible for a boudoir daughter to have such political means.

Others would not think that this was Jiang Li's idea, and would only put the matter on Jiang Yuanbai's head. Thinking that it was Jiang Yuanbai who asked Jiang Li to say this in the hall, he had a better understanding of Jiang Yuanbai's plan, and believed that Jiang Yuanbai was a real cunning and cunning.

"Go ahead." Emperor Hong Xiao said to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li leaned over, with a crisp voice, and said: "I have finished what I want to say. Xue Huaiyuan, the prime minister of Tongxiang County, is guilty. He has been in office for decades. Apart from embezzling disaster relief money, he is indifferent, washes his hands and serves his duties. The heart is like water, the wind is solemn. It is rare to find such a corrupt official in the world. He must be planning something deeper. He has been an official for many years and changed Tongxiang. There is no pardon for this crime, I implore Your Majesty to punish Xue Huaiyuan for the crime of hacking into pieces!"

Right Prime Minister Li Zhongnan closed his eyes, knowing that after Jiang Li's words, Xue Huaiyuan's guilt was completely cleared.

Saying the right words, saying the right words, Jiang Li's right words are so wonderful that it is indisputable.

There was a long silence in the hall.

After a long time, Emperor Hong Xiao's voice sounded, saying: "In this way, Xue Huaiyuan has not committed any crime, but has made meritorious deeds. Those who have made meritorious deeds five times will be more guilty, and there may be grievances among them. In Feng Yutang's case, there is no doubt that Feng Yutang is guilty. Huaiyuan is greedy for ink, and there are many doubts, Zhou Dezhao, I want you to thoroughly investigate this case again!"

When the last word landed, Jiang Li's heart gradually boiled as if it had been watered by hot water.

However, she just leaned down and said again: "I implore you again, bring Tongxiang county magistrate Xue Huaiyuan to the hall. Xue Huaiyuan is also a witness. Your majesty may wish to see how Xue county magistrate looks now."

"Bring Xue Huaiyuan." Emperor Hong Xiao said.

Zhou Dezhao was busy with his lover bringing Xue Huaiyuan up, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Li again. In today's matter, it was clear that King Cheng and the right minister had the upper hand at the beginning, but now, Jiang Li has led the whole process by the nose. Regardless of whether Jiang Li or Jiang Yuanbai came up with this method, the Jiang family should not be underestimated. I thought that in the imperial court, the power of the Jiang family was gradually weakening, especially when the right minister was getting stronger and stronger. Looking at it right now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention how powerful it is, Jiang Yuanbai is not inferior to the right minister in this scheming alone.

If this continues, we still don't know who will lose in the end. Forget it, those who watched the excitement, probably have to re-plan the future team.

Xue Huaiyuan was quickly brought up.

He was changed into clean clothes and his face was washed, and he held a rattle tightly in his hand. The imperial guards were protecting Emperor Hong Xiao so that Xue Huaiyuan would not hurt someone suddenly. But when Xue Huaiyuan suddenly saw so many people, he was terrified, huddled into a ball, and ran towards Jiang Li helplessly.

Jiang Li patted Xue Huaiyuan's shoulder reassuringly, because Xue Huaiyuan's beard and hair were all white, and he was about the same age as Jiang Yuanbai, but already looked like an old man, so Jiang Li's behavior did not seem out of the ordinary. But her patience was very dazzling in Jiang Yuanbai's eyes.

I always feel that Jiang Li has never had such a gentle gaze when facing her biological father.

Xue Huaiyuan obviously also relied on Jiang Li very much. After Jiang Li was by his side, he didn't make a fuss, and felt at ease, playing with the rattle in his hand.

Jiang Li said to Emperor Hong Xiao: "Your Majesty, this is Xue Huaiyuan, the Prime Minister of Tongxiang County. Because of being imprisoned in the dungeon by Feng Yutang and tortured in every possible way, he is now delirious and looks like a child. Poor generation of Qingming loyal ministers, but now they are in such a state." In the end, if this matter gets out, how many honest officials and loyal officials in the world will be chilled, and how many people will loyally serve His Majesty?"

"Bold!" Li Zhongnan was furious: "Jiang Li, how dare you question Your Majesty!"

"Lord Li," Jiang Yuanbai said displeasedly, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, what kind of words are you talking about?"

Jiang Li's words were considered disrespectful, and King Cheng sneered: "It seems that Mr. Jiang has his own way of teaching his daughter. Second Miss Jiang's words are a bit out of line for her family."

Jiang Yuanbai dared to blatantly quarrel with Li Zhongnan, but he didn't want to face Chengwang at this time. When he was hesitating what to say, Su Guo, who had never spoken much, spoke up.

Ji Heng shook his fan and said with a light smile, "Unfortunately, what Miss Jiang Er said coincides with mine."

With just one sentence, the courtiers were all taken aback. Now that Ji Heng has spoken, should he help Jiang Li speak?

Although this Su Guogong has always loved beauty, he is not a person who cherishes beauty and beauty, and it is even more impossible to save the girl from the fire and water. Just at this moment, Su Guogong actually confronted King Cheng, and said such a meaningful sentence.

Ji Heng suddenly didn't realize that his words had been pondered over thousands of times by everyone present, and he said casually: "Good medicine tastes bitter, but honest words hurt ears. Although what Second Miss Jiang said is out of line, it still makes sense. Abandon loyal ministers and appoint treacherous ministers, I am afraid that the country will lose the country."

The young man had a handsome appearance and a monstrous appearance. With a half smile but not a smile, he said this kind of intimidating words, which had an immediate effect. At least Emperor Hong Xiao listened. Emperor Hong Xiao said: "Duke Su is right, I am not someone who can't hear the truth, Jiang Aiqing," he said to Jiang Yuanbai: "Your daughter has been raised very well."

Jiang Yuanbai hurriedly thanked him, but he was puzzled in his heart, the Jiang family and Su Guogong didn't have any contact at all, and Jiang Li and Ji Heng didn't seem to have any friendship. Why did this moody Su Guo Guild suddenly speak for Jiang Li?

Could it be...he looked at Jiang Li's clean face, Jiang Li was no longer the arrogant and willful girl who was sent to Qingcheng Mountain, she gradually grew up, and her appearance had the delicate demeanor of a young girl. It is as delicate and beautiful as snow-white pear blossoms in spring, clean and fresh, and attractive.

No, no, no, Jiang Yuanbai immediately dispelled this ridiculous thought in his mind. Su Guogong himself was so beautiful that he had never seen any kind of beauty. Jiang Li was at best a little beauty, and he might not be able to catch Ji Heng's eyes. Besides, Ji Heng is sinister and cruel, so he is not a good match. Although he and Jiang Li are not very close, but after all, they are his own flesh and blood, and he does not want Jiang Li to end up in a tragic end, to be calculated by others, and to implicate the Jiang family in the end.

Thinking wildly in my heart, someone among the courtiers suddenly said, "Xue Lingyun, isn't this Xue Lingyun?"

Xue Lingyun? Everyone is strange.

Emperor Hong Xiao asked: "What Xue Lingyun?"

The courtier cupped his hands and said: "When the late emperor was still there, Xue Lingyun built the water conservancy canal for Yanjing. The late emperor saw that he was quite capable and promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry. However, Xue Lingyun only worked for one year. Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he resigned and left. When I saw Xue Huaiyuan today, I realized that this Xue Huaiyuan was exactly the same as Xue Lingyun, but he was too old, so I boldly guessed that Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Lingyun."

Xue Lingyun? This name is very unfamiliar to everyone in the palace. But no one knows about the water conservancy of the Beijing-China Canal. Those who can lead such a project are naturally talented people. Why do you want to be a small county magistrate instead of being a minister of the Ministry of Industry?

Jiang Li was stunned. No wonder the servants who followed his father for many years said that his father had the talent to help the world, but he lived in the small world of Tongxiang. If he didn't hate the officialdom, he might have already flourished. She always wondered why her father was only a county magistrate because he had such a great ability to see clearly about the situation in the DPRK and China.

It turned out that it was not a chance, but that my father had already become a high-ranking official, but he thought that his temperament was not suitable for such an officialdom. The courtiers of the Northern Yan Dynasty fought against each other, or were in collusion. For my father, it would be better to be a small magistrate to benefit the common people.

So he even changed his name, from "Xue Lingyun" who has the ambition of Lingyun, to "Xue Huaiyuan" who looks at the moon and Huaiyuan.

When Jiang Li and Xue Zhao were born, Xue Huaiyuan no longer worked as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and changed his name. Therefore, Jiang Li didn't know about this past, and the old acquaintance of Xue Huaiyuan only told the truth before he knew the truth.

This old minister should have had a good friendship with Xue Huaiyuan back then, and when he saw his old friend, he explained why Xue Huaiyuan resigned from office. If you can't stretch your ambitions, you will feel aggrieved after all. When everyone heard this, they felt filled with emotion and regret.

Emperor Hong Xiao said: "Such a talented person was falsely accused and imprisoned as a criminal, and he is still in such a miserable state. This is my fault, and it is also Beiyan's loss."

The courtiers all knelt down.

Jiang Li's heart moved, Xue Huaiyuan's past was discovered, and for now, it happened to do her a favor. Without thinking about it, she said: "Your Majesty, Xue Huaiyuan's fate was all caused by Feng Yutang's own hand, to avenge his personal revenge. My daughter requests that Feng Yutang be severely punished!"

"Naturally, heavy punishment!" Emperor Hong Xiao snorted coldly: "I don't know, there are such rampant people under the emperor's feet, framing Zhongliang!"

"Master Feng is very courageous," Jiang Li said, "Not only did he frame Zhongliang, but he also secretly mines mines in Dongshan, Tongxiang. The imperial court has banned it many years ago. Private mining is tantamount to treason and should be punished!"

Feng Yutang was already drenched in cold sweat and almost passed out.

"However, Mr. Feng is very strange. He has accumulated countless wealth in Tongxiang, but he still wants more gold. It is clear that he is demanding and bold. The court lady found a letter in Feng's residence, which directly pointed to asking Feng Yutang to torture Xue. Huaiyuan. But the owner of the letter is very strange..." Jiang Li smiled slightly: "The seal on the letter is exactly the seal of Princess Yongning of this dynasty!"

After singing for so long, she finally reached a climax!

"Bold!" Cheng Wang's face was ashen, "Slandering a princess of a country, do you know what kind of crime it is? This can cut off your head!"

"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, don't worry," Jiang Li replied coldly without any fear: "My daughter is only stating the facts, and has not convicted the princess. Naturally, this letter can be fake. In fact, my daughter also thinks it is a fake letter." trap."

Emperor Hong Xiao stared at Jiang Li, and Ye Shijie's handout was about Princess Yongning. At this moment, Jiang Li brought it up, which was also expected by him. It's just that since Jiang Li brought it up, why did she deny herself.

"Princess Yongning and the Xue family are neither related nor related, and they have no connection at all. How could Feng Yutang be instructed to frame the Xue family and put Xue Huaiyuan in prison. The courtiers have inquired about the Xue family. Xue Huaiyuan has only one son and one daughter. His son Xue Huaiyuan Zhao was killed by bandits in Beijing last year. His daughter, Xue Fangfei, was the late wife of Lord Langshen, the secretary of the court, and died in the Shen family half a year ago. Neither Xue Zhao nor Xue Fangfei, nor the Shen family Connection. From this point of view, from the view of the courtier, it should be impossible to do it!"

The courtiers did not know Xue Zhao's name, but as soon as the word "Xue Fangfei" came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yurong in unison.

When Xue Fangfei gave Shen Yurong a cuckold, the people in Yanjing City either watched Shen Yurong's jokes, or sympathized with her, or scolded her adulterer, in short, everyone knew about it. Half a year later, a generation of stunning Xue Fangfei passed away, even if it was regarded as an after-dinner conversation topic, it was also an inconspicuous one.

It was so easy to gradually forget the name, but suddenly it was mentioned again at this time. It's still about the case of Xue Huaiyuan that everyone pays attention to.

Shen Yurong's face was still calm and breezy, he had a good demeanor, but there was some inexplicable deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Li.

Ji Heng looked at Jiang Li, the smile on his lips gradually deepened. Among the civil and military officials, he was the only one who watched the court discussion with a relaxed attitude. Some people feel like facing a big enemy, some people gloat over other people's misfortunes, but only he, with the carelessness of knowing everything, helps to push her along, following her heart.

Cheng Wang looked at Shen Yurong, with a flash of annoyance in his heart.

Jiang Li looked sincere, as if she really believed in Princess Yongning's innocence, and couldn't wait to explain to Princess Yongning. In her heart, she laughed silently.

This move is based on retreat. On the surface, it is the initiative to clear Yongning's grievances, but it exposes Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei to everyone. In Xue Huaiyuan's case, there was only Xue Huaiyuan alone, so nothing could be found out. The most important thing is Xue Fangfei.

Princess Yongning's ambition is Shen Yurong, and one day she will enter the Shen family and become Mrs. Shen. But as soon as the rumors that Princess Yongning ordered Feng Yutang to frame Xue Huaiyuan came out, Princess Yongning would have many difficulties in marrying Shen Yurong. Because once she did this, she would find a perfect reason to frame Xue Huaiyuan. People would say, look, she wanted to marry Shen Yurong, so she murdered Xue Huaiyuan, and even the deaths of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao would be suspected.

Three people become tigers, and one mouth makes money. If Princess Yongning wants to be cleared of this crime, she must clean up her relationship with the Shen family and never have any contact with Shen Yurong.

But the question is, can Princess Yongning do it?

Jiang Li believes that Princess Yongning must not be able to do it, otherwise she would not have killed herself to get Shen Yurong back then. Yongning is so cruel and domineering, he must do what he decides. Regardless of whether she cared about it, even if she got this suspected crime, she would definitely marry Shen Yurong.

But can Shen Yurong turn a blind eye to these things?

After all, she is the person next to her in the same bed. Although she hadn't been able to see clearly the wolfish ambition of this person in her previous life, she still understands the general temperament of the husband and wife for many years. Shen Yurong is cautious by nature and considerate in doing things, she will definitely not let Yongning do this at this juncture.

But Yongning has already reached the time to talk about marriage, and he must completely avoid the limelight, and wait for three to five years, I am afraid it will not be exhausted. Therefore, between Yongning and Shen Yurong, there will definitely be rifts and twists and turns due to this matter.

That's her chance.

Jiang Li's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, Cheng Wang's outrage, Li Zhongnan's annoyance, Jiang Yuanbai's astonishment, Ji Yanlin's doubts, Ye Shijie's astonishment, Shen Yurong's pretending to be calm, Hong Xiaodi's meaningful, and Ji Heng smiled.

His smile was a little relaxed as he watched the fire from the other side, and he also had a tacit understanding of each other's secrets. His eyes were shining and moving, as if he had discovered something interesting, and he seemed to have a little appreciation.

He knows, he knows everything.

Jiang Li lowered her head. In today's battle, she did her best, and she did everything she had to do.

Rehabilitating Xue Huaiyuan and making Feng Yutang pay for his blood. Most importantly, she planted a seed between Yongning and Shen Yurong. The crack, Jiangli will use this crack to open a hole and start the road of revenge.

This is just the beginning, she thought.

...

The court discussion on the case of the Xue family is over.

This court discussion started with Zhou Dezhao's interrogation, and Cheng Wang ridiculed him first, but without knowing it, it was dominated by Jiang Li. Until the end, everything was under Jiang Li's control.

But such a result seems to have nothing to dispute.

The people of Yanjing were also concerned about the outcome of this court discussion. Jiang Li led the people of Tongxiang to cry out in front of the gate of Chang'an, and everyone in Yanjing city knew about it. Inadvertently, I also learned the ins and outs of this case. Everyone is worried about the Xue family case.

Therefore, after the results of the court discussion came out, it spread throughout almost the entire city of Yanjing in just an hour.

Then Xue Huaiyuan really suffered a great injustice, he was obviously a good official, but he was killed in such a cruel way. Everyone also knew that Xue Huaiyuan used to be called Xue Lingyun, and he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was in charge of repairing the canals in Yanjing City.

How many people have been benefited by the matter of the canal, the people of Yanjing are almost as injustice as the people of Tongxiang when they heard about Xue Huaiyuan's experience. When Feng Yutang was sentenced to hang, the common people spontaneously went to witness the wicked die with their own eyes.

At the same time, there was a rumor that Xue Huaiyuan was imprisoned because Princess Yongning instigated Feng Yutang to do it. There is no basis for this rumor, and Princess Yongning has no contact with the Xue family, so when talking about it, no real basis can be found. But more people talked about it, and gradually everyone in Yanjing City knew about it.

I heard that the person who became the king sent people to find out where the source of the rumor came from, but the person who made the rumor disappeared without a trace in a short time. Yanjing is not Tongxiang, and King Cheng can't let the people of Yanjing City "understand the road" like Feng Yutang did. At most, he only punished a few people who talked about Yongning openly, but he couldn't deal with those who talked about Yongning in private.

There is no doubt that the person who released the rumors was naturally Jiang Li.

Jiang Li went to see Feng Yutang's execution today.

She actually doesn't want to watch these bloody scenes, but every time she thinks of how Feng Yutang was Yongning's lackey and how he tortured Xue Huaiyuan in prison, so that Xue Huaiyuan became what he is now, she can't let go of it. So even though it was bloody, he still wanted to see Feng Yutang's execution today.

After Feng Yutang passed, it was Yongning and Shen Yurong.

The entrance of the vegetable market is full of spectators. The people of Tongxiang haven't gone back yet, everyone has arrived. They threw stones and vegetable leaves at Feng Yutang's face to express their inner resentment. Jiang Li stood far away in the crowd, wearing a bamboo hat, so that no one could see her.

Jiang Yuanbai now has twice as many bodyguards assigned to her. At the court meeting, Jiang Li's actions severely offended King Cheng. King Cheng will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate. Just in case, Jiang Yuanbai will not let Jiang Li go out these days. Jiang Li sneaked out today.

After the court meeting that day, Jiang Yuanbai asked her why Princess Yongning was finally involved in this case. What he said to Jiang Yuanbai early in the morning was not Princess Yongning but the right minister Li Zhongnan. After the court discussion started, Jiang Yuanbai was very surprised when he heard the name of Princess Yongning. If he had known that this case was related to Princess Yongning, Jiang Yuanbai would never let Jiang Li act like this.

Jiang Li only said: "Father, this case is indeed related to the right minister Li Zhongnan, but compared to Li Zhongnan, Princess Yongning's letter is more accurate. You have also seen what happened at the court meeting. Li Zhongnan helped Cheng Wang, yes People who become kings say that Princess Yongning is still Li Zhongnan, but in the end, they all have the same reasoning."

"But in the end Princess Yongning was not convicted!" Jiang Yuanbai said.

"Really?" Jiang Li only replied at the time, "But father, looking at the future, this crime will be carried out one day. Now we just know the result in advance, as for the future, we will wait and see. "

Jiang Yuanbai still didn't believe it, but there was no room for change in this matter. Besides, Jiang Yuanbai could also see clearly that Emperor Hong Xiao's attitude at the court meeting that day was clearly in favor of Jiang Li. Perhaps they hope to use the case of the Xue family to suppress King Cheng. Jiang Yuanbai couldn't pretend not to know Hong Xiaodi's attitude anyway. Therefore, we can only let this matter go.

But in my heart, after all, I didn't like Jiang Li's self-assertion.

Jiang Li ignored it. Even though Tong'er and Bai Xue were usually brave, they still covered Yanjing when they saw the execution scene. Jiang Li, on the other hand, stared at Feng Yutang without blinking until he died.

Feng Yutang's party members have been wiped out, and Emperor Hong Xiao has also re-appointed the new county magistrate of Tongxiang, Xiangyang. Although this new county magistrate, Jiang Li, is not very familiar with him, at least he has learned from Feng Yutang's past, so he dare not do anything out of line .

Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li stayed in Yanjing City, Jiang Li was worried about letting Xue Huaiyuan go back to Beijing alone. What's more, Emperor Hong Xiao had a golden mouth and well-spoken words, and recruited all the genius doctors from all over the world to treat Xue Huaiyuan's illness. Jiang Li also planned to let Xue Huaiyuan stay in Yanjing and visit famous doctors to see if Xue Huaiyuan could recover his sanity one day.

But staying in Jiang's house, Jiang Yuanbai didn't agree, and Jiang Li was also afraid that Ji Shuran would use Xue Huaiyuan instead to deal with him. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to entrust Xue Huaiyuan to Ye Mingyu.

Ye Mingyu doesn't plan to return to Xiangyang for the time being. Ye Shijie is now an official in Yanjing City. Ye Mingyu suddenly had an idea to start the Ye family's business again in Yanjing City. Now that there are two layers of relationship between Ye Shijie and Jiang Li, the Ye family's business will be better than before. Ye Mingyu wanted to stay and live with Ye Shijie, so naturally Xue Huaiyuan would be entrusted to Ye Mingyu. First of all, Ye Mingyu's martial arts is good, and his subordinates are all people from the world, so he can keep Xue Huaiyuan safe. Second, Xue Huaiyuan also spends a lot of time with Ye Mingyu these days. Besides Jiang Li, the closest person is Ye Mingyu.

Ye Shijie had no objection, but Ye Mingyu kept complaining. It is not an easy task for a good person from the world to become Xue Huaiyuan's guard and maid now. But Jiang Li asked him solemnly, and Ye Mingyu was soft-hearted, so he had no choice but to agree.

After the execution was over, Jiang Li and Tonger Baixue walked towards the carriage. Thinking in her heart, the matter in Tongxiang has come to an end for the time being, and next, she will completely offend King Cheng and Princess Yongning. Cheng Wang may not make a move so quickly, but Yongning will definitely come to him in the shortest possible time.

Soon, what she will have to face is Yongning and Shen Yurong, the culprits who caused the Xue family's unjust case.

The carriage stopped at the corner of the street, and Jiang Li came to the carriage, and got into the carriage with Tong'er's support. Tong'er and Bai Xue were also coming up, when suddenly Jiang Li's voice came from inside: "Wait a minute."

Tong'er and Baixue don't know why.

Jiang Li looked up at the people in the carriage.

Not only did the young man in red not blame himself for occupying the magpie's nest, but he had a dignified and elegant posture, holding a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Second Miss."

Jiang Li paused, and sat down opposite him: "Master Guo."

Ji Heng came into his carriage so blatantly, it is conceivable that the coachman had already been replaced by him.

"The Lord of the Kingdom came to see me, why?" Jiang Li asked.

He said: "If you don't come to me, I will only come to you."

Jiang Li thought for a while: "At the court meeting, thanks to the Duke of Guo who spoke for me, Jiang Li is very grateful."

"No need to thank, King Cheng is too stupid, I can't stand it." In his beautiful eyes, the shadow of Jiang Li can be clearly reflected, swaying in it, lively and fragrant, Ji Heng said: "But you are out of touch." To my surprise, after going around for so long, the matter of Xue Fangfei was finally revealed."
