The Beloved Imperial Consort

The prisoner frowned, but had no choice but to answer, "His Royal Highness Princess Protector."

"Extremely." Mu Xiyao nodded, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"During the Jiaxing period, the King of Qin rebelled, and secretly united with the eighteen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty to rebel. At that time, Emperor Cheng was young and the court was in turmoil. The eldest princess invited Ying to go out for five years. During this period, he fought the King of Qin three times in Weishui, without a single defeat. .After that, he personally beheaded the king of Qin in Qingguan, wiped out the rebellious party, and ended the 'Jingxiang Rebellion'."

"After the eldest princess returned to the court, she handed in the military talisman and retreated calmly. She only assisted Emperor Cheng to appease the refugees and implement the New Deal. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiaxing, the Western Fan and Mobei raised troops at the same time. The emperor and the eldest princess led their own troops. A year later, the emperor came from Xifan to lead the victory team, and then heard about the great victory in Mobei, and Longyan was very happy. Later, he greeted the eldest princess back to the court at Guangwumen, but what was waiting was the whole army and a coffin."

Mu Xiyao let out a long sigh, feeling very sorry.

When the people in the hall heard Mu Xiyao mention that period of turbulent history, and thought of the heroic deeds of Princess Protector, they were also amazed and deeply touched.

"His Royal Highness Princess Protector, a peerless hero whose spirit will last forever." Prince Yi praised loudly.

Mu Xiyao bowed her head and seconded the proposal. Then look around and look up.

"Master Gan, do you know the origin of the Hall of Harmony?"

Could it be that she thought that she asked for the clan meeting just to save face?

"This..." The prisoner was sweating all over, hesitating and unable to answer. This Jiahe Hall has a long history, how could he know? Could it be related to Her Royal Highness Princess Protector?

"Your Excellency has read poetry and books, but ignores historical facts. I don't agree with it." Mu Xiyao glanced at him lightly, and spoke disdainfully.

Emperor Yuan Cheng looked extremely ugly. The fourth-rank courtiers can't even understand the historical facts, even the female family members of the inner court can't compare?

Mu Xiyao raised her left hand, and the wide sleeves flicked across the air.

"The Jiahe Hall is the palace bestowed by Emperor Cheng as the eldest princess' bedroom, and the thin gold script written on the plaque hanging high in the center of the hall was mentioned by Emperor Cheng himself."

Only then did the concubines in the harem look up together, it turned out that the Jiahe Palace had such a long history.

Concubine Shu looked at Mu Xiyao, who was dignified and solemn in the center, who was throwing a loud voice, as if she didn't know her. This girl shocked her too much. How can this level of knowledge be cultivated by ordinary people? Aristocratic families are not as good as they are.

The imperial concubine felt more and more uneasy. Even with Mu's previous actions and his domineering attitude now, he wouldn't have said so much for no reason. And with her knowledge and insight, how could she be aimless?

Mu Xiyao ignored the reactions of others and continued, "The eldest princess died in battle, and the emperor was greatly mourned. She will pay homage in the Jiahe Hall until March. Afterwards, the bedroom will be expanded and renovated, and all the ceremonies of offering sacrifices and blessings to the clan will be held in the Jiahe Hall. .This royal etiquette system has been in use since becoming emperor."

Mu Xiyao looked back, fixed her eyes on Si Tianjian, and asked sharply, "Master Gan, do you know what is the birth date of Princess Huguo?"

Mr. Gan was forced by her momentum so that his legs and feet became weak, and he repeatedly raised his hands to wipe his sweat with the hem of his sleeves.

"It seems that Mr. Jianzheng is completely unaware of this. Then there will be Mr. Lao Taishi Bureau to clear up the confusion."

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng nodding his head, the commander stood up and reported back.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was very puzzled when he heard that the Taishi Bureau ordered to report the character of the eldest princess.

"Forgive me for your ignorance, the concubine's question seems to have nothing to do with today's trial."

"My lord is wrong, it has a lot to do with it." Mu Xiyao shook her head.

"The calendar of the Wei Dynasty has been changed three times, and the latest one was in the Chongde period more than 70 years ago. The horoscope reported just now by the Commander is the record of the old calendar. Please use the new calendar to calculate it. , report again."

Qin Tianjian is getting an order and draws a pen to calculate. Before the last word was written, the hand holding the pen was trembling violently, and his face was pale. Take off the rice paper you wrote and put it aside, pick up the pen and count again. After repeating this over and over again, it was finally confirmed that it was correct.

Looking up at the woman standing alone in the palace, her expression was extremely complicated.

Seeing his strange expression, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment turned his head and took the discarded rice paper that he had put aside. As soon as he entered his eyes, he was shocked suddenly, and his face showed panic, "This... this..."

Emperor Yuan Cheng saw that the expressions of the two were not right, and there was no reply for a long time, so he asked sharply. "What's up?"

Qin Tianjian took a deep breath, knelt down and leaned over, "The birth date of the eldest princess: Jiazi Guiyou Jiawu Jiazi."

With a bang, Mr. Gan took several steps back, tripped and fell to the ground in panic.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how is it possible? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"This is, this is clearly..." The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng in disbelief.

Emperor Yuan Cheng's face was extremely gloomy and cold, and he looked at the person sitting on the ground with extreme hatred.

"Master Gan, you are still in the Jiahe Palace, how dare you raise your head to face Emperor Cheng's handwriting, and repeat the fate of a concubine?"

The prisoner was trembling with fright, his expression pale.

"The fate of the Great Wei is calculated based on the number of stars in the sky, supplemented by the horoscope of the birth date. The concubine and Princess Huguo are exactly two full rounds apart, and the horoscopes are the same. If the concubine's fate is in conflict with Concubine Liu, then The clan is fierce. Then, is it true that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, who has the same fate as my concubine, is also the sinner of the Great Wei in your mouth!"

Mu Xiyao pointed her right hand at the villain on the ground, her female voice was sharp and piercing to her ears.

"What!" Everyone present exclaimed, their eyes glazed over.

Concubine De's whole body trembled, and she glanced in horror at the concubine with an ugly face.

This crime alone is already a major crime against the Jiu Clan. There is no one in the history of the Wei Dynasty who dared to humiliate and die the princess who protects the country in Mobei.

Helian Minmin clasped his hands tightly, looking at the woman with a stern voice, his mind was in chaos.

Can she turn over calmly in such a desperate situation? With the protection of the eldest princess' reputation, who would dare to risk her life?

Once Mu Xiyao launched, it would be a fierce counterattack. He spoke harshly and rebuked angrily.

"The battle in Mobei is imminent, and you openly humiliate the princess who protects the country with blood spilled on the battlefield and buried her soul in the desert. If Emperor Cheng has a spirit in heaven, he knows that the courtiers of later generations will personally name him the princess with the word "protecting the country" With such humiliation, what face do you have to bow down to the ancestral temple?"

Emperor Yuan Cheng's face turned livid at Mu Xiyao's words. How important is the battle in Mobei? How can the achievements of the sages be shamed? At this critical juncture, there are traitors and sycophants, which is an unforgivable crime!

Mu Xiyao's momentum remained undiminished, and she took advantage of the situation to ask.

"Master Shangshu, this case is very clear, why don't you pronounce a sentence yet?"

"Severely punish according to the law!" Yuan Chengdi reconsidered the case.

Prince Yi was even more resentful. "Unbenevolent and unrighteous, unfaithful and unfilial, parade in the streets to ask for beheading!"

This reprimand was extremely severe. Dawei's benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and filial piety are more important than family background. A poor family can still rise to the top. But disregarding benevolence and filial piety, not only can't gain a foothold, but even can't enter the ancestral hall after death.

"Sitian Supervisor is willing to pay Wei. In the case of Concubine Liu, he insulted the sages and sages, framed the royal relatives, and punished the nine clans according to the law, and the clan was removed."

When the trial of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments was concluded, Gan Fuwei screamed and fainted immediately.

Everyone was still amazed, and before they recovered from Mu Xiyao's astonishing counterattack, they heard her continue to attack.

"My lord!" Mu Xiyao got up angrily, put one hand on her waist, and looked straight into his eyes, "Since Gan Fuwei was indeed framed, then I suspect that this case is very involved, and the people behind it have ulterior motives and try to sway everyone." Wei Guozuo!"

Don't think that the death of a fourth-rank dog official will make you safe! Mu Xiyao swept her eyes to the left, her words were sharp and aggressive.

"Although the concubine has little knowledge, she also knows that the horoscope of birth date is extremely private. Where did Gan Fuwei inquire about the horoscope of the clan? This is spying on the ancestral hall. The framed case this time is not only intended to destroy the reputation of the concubine, but also to set the concubine and the birth date of the concubine in vain. The heirs will never be restored. This is the murder of the clan. And the husband of the concubine, the Sixth Highness must be burdened by the concubine. This is an insult to the emperor's heir. Concubine Liu is in a coma, obviously something else is wrong. This is the murder of the concubine. Recently, there have been rumors in Shengjing , There are so many rumors and troubles, these are ignorant people. The war in Mobei is imminent, but it shames the sages, which is a disaster for the country. Could it be that such a big case is not worthy of Sir Shangshu's request for a thorough investigation?"

Mu Xiyao's voice was cold, and she pressed her every step of the way, making the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment's face tense when she asked.

Concubine Liu's case turned out to be a serious case that shakes the foundation of the country?

Prince Yi watched her from the sidelines, saw her awe-inspiring manner, and spoke with certainty, applauding her.

"Good! What a Mu family. In the face of life and death, he is not afraid. He is calm and composed, and has insight into the subtleties. This case has collusion inside and outside, and the scheme is quite deep. Today, this king will put down his old face and plead for your life!"

"emperor!"

"You don't need to say too much, Uncle Huang. I will personally intervene in this matter and punish him severely." Before Prince Yi could finish speaking, Emperor Yuan Cheng had already stated his position.

Ever since the doubts about fate were dispelled, Emperor Yuan Cheng knew that this case must be a connection between the former court of the harem. This is a taboo of the emperor, an unforgivable crime.

"The sinner, Gan Fuwei, was handed over to the Department of Criminal Interrogation for review. The Ministry of Punishment took everyone in the Gan Mansion into custody, paraded the public on a certain day, and beheaded at the Meridian Gate. All the attendants in Concubine Liu's palace were sent to the Ministry of Punishment to await trial, and no one was allowed to visit. The case was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation. Evidence supervision."

"From now on, everyone in the harem is not allowed to move around without permission. Order the commander of the guards, Ji Huai'an, to send people to guard the gates of each palace. After the case is reviewed, we will make a decision."

Emperor Yuan Cheng was completely enraged this time. He dared to go to war under his nose, involving numerology and numerology. He also insulted the dignity of the princess who protects the country. If he can't be strictly investigated and punished, wouldn't he become a foolish king who doesn't know right from wrong? A hundred years later, how will we face our ancestors?

The Empress Dowager has been sitting upright, with a serious expression on her face. This time, not only was he disgraced, but he almost lost his life. Is this to destroy her merits and make her bear karma before she gets old?

"If you dare to be selfish, you will be executed at the Meridian Gate!" The Empress Dowager Jin hadn't asked about the harem for a long time, but now she was furious, feeling that she had been bullied too hard.

Following the edict of the first three people, the case of Concubine Liu's coma, and Mu Xiyao's theory of fate, the truth came to light, and her grievance was brought to light.

Zong Zhenglin sat upright, his eyes clear. His fiery gaze rested on the woman who held her head proudly in the center of the hall, not leaving for a moment.
