Chapter 97 Weaken or Protect
Until now, Shangguan Qian was still in surprise, and still did not come to his senses, while on the other side of the main hall, Emperor Qingjian was asking for guilt.
I saw that a few people who were questioned by Xingshi on the main hall had their faces drooping, and they didn't dare to breathe, and Emperor Qingjian angrily reprimanded, "Pan Rui, now that you have violated the law of the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people even if I drop a few heads, if I don't punish it seriously, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!" “
After Pan Chang's death, he found out the sins he committed during his lifetime, so this matter is not accidental, maybe someone is secretly operating to do the right thing for heaven.
Now, Nanyan is in need of such a talent, how can Emperor Qingjian investigate who is the murderer of Pan Chang?
Emperor Qingjian glanced indifferently at Song Han beside him, turned his head and looked at Pan Rui who was kneeling in the hall to make him sit on the charge, "Pan Rui, as the prefect of Tianyin, now you have trained a son who blatantly ignores the law of the country, what crime should you be guilty of?" “
Pan Rui lowered his head, his body couldn't help but tremble, and even the general Song Yang on the side frowned.
Pan Rui's voice revealed a hint of panic, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" The minister is guilty......" Today, Penry cannot escape the charge no matter what.
He entered the palace to seek justice for himself, but he ended up like this.
Pan Rui knew that as long as it was a matter of secret envoy verification, it would never be overturned, not to mention that his son's virtue had always been like this, so he had to admit the facts.
Pan Chang is dead, his affairs have long been powerless, and he can't risk provoking the emperor during the extraordinary period, which is not a wise choice.
Emperor Qingjian's sharp eyes slowly eased, and his brows relaxed, "Okay!" Since you are convicted of sin, then act according to the law, so that you may give an account to the people. “
After a moment of silence, Emperor Qingjian spoke again, "According to the law of the country, from now on, you will step down from the position of the prefect of Tianyin and think about it behind closed doors at home, as for your unfilial son, hang it at the city gate and let him be violent for three days, so that everyone can see, violating the law of my great country, this is the end, from now on who dares to do unseemly deeds." “
Pan Rui collapsed to the ground on the spot, such a punishment is all to weaken the power of his Pan family, and from now on, their Pan family is afraid that there will be no comeback.
Is Emperor Qing Jian's doing this just to punish Pan Rui and hit the strength of the Pan family?
Song Yang took in everything, he didn't feel good in his heart, he really shouldn't go to the palace with Pan Rui to suffer such a crime.
Pan Rui, who was disillusioned, never imagined that the cost of this implication would be so great, and it would implicate the entire Qin clan.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I beg the emperor to see that the old ministers were loyal in the past, and open the net! Pan Rui's whole body was prostrate on the ground, and he even spoke incoherently.
Half a ring, and there was no sound of Emperor Qingjian's pardon in his ears, so he crawled to Song Yang's feet and prayed to him, "General, please save the old minister!" See us ......"
Before Pan Rui could finish speaking, Song Yang immediately interrupted him, "Pan Rui, your son Pan Chang is deeply guilty, as the godson of the Tianyin prefect, the emperor did not punish you heavily, you should be content!" “
"Penry." Song Yang interrupted Pan Rui's words in a cold voice, "What Pan Chang committed is indeed an unforgivable crime, and you ...... There is no way to teach the son, and he deserves to be punished. ”
Song Yang's tough attitude was undoubtedly not a basin of cold water poured on Pan Rui, making his last hope disillusioned.
"Someone! Take Pan Rui down, "Emperor Qingjian didn't care about the feelings of the monarchs and ministers in the past, didn't leave any face for Pan Rui, and ruthlessly drove him away.
Then Song Han instructed, "Pan Chang's matter will be handled by you." “
Everyone quietly took in everything that happened in the palace, and even several ministers who had a good relationship with Pan Rui on weekdays did not dare to speak up, they had their own concerns.
Emperor Qing Jian's way of dealing with it this time was indeed expected by Shangguan Yue, but she didn't understand that Emperor Qing Jian's purpose in doing this was to weaken the power of the General's Mansion? is still protecting the General's Mansion, I'm afraid only he knows.
No one in the world has ever truly understood the emperor's mind, and the same is true of Shangguan Yue, and Emperor Qingjian is even more unpredictable.
Pan Rui was taken away, Song Han was also ordered to act, and Song Yang was even more eager to leave immediately and escape the catastrophe.
It seems that this matter has come to an end, but it has fallen into the hearts of everyone, and it has not been calm for a long time.
Princess Linglong took Shangguan Yue to the imperial garden, Nangong Su wanted to follow, but was stopped by Queen Gongsun, so she could only give up.
The old lady of Nangong also left Qihuang Palace with the support of Wei Chiqi, but Shangguan Qian still stayed in place, Shangguan Yue and Nangong Su's every move just now was in full view, and now she desperately wanted to prove her inner guess.
Shangguan Qian left Qihuang Palace with a worried look, and happened to bump into Wei Chi Qi and immediately stopped him, and suddenly saw the old woman of Wei Chi Qi beside him, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Old Madam Wei Chi is such a smart person, she saw the clue on Shangguan Qian's face, so she said with interest, "Okay, good!" My old woman won't bother you, Yue'er will help me quickly and let their cousins catch up with each other. “
Yu Chiying comprehended, came to the old lady of Nangong unhurriedly, and helped her to leave together.
Shangguan Qian still looked unspeakable, and when Wei Chiqi saw this, he couldn't help but speak first, "Qian'er, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly?" “
Shangguan Qian bit her lip and stared straight at Wei Chiqi's unfathomable eyes, "Second cousin, you tell me the truth, but you arranged for the young master of the Pan family to destroy Shangguan Yue's innocence?" “
Wei Chiqi did not shy away from responding to her seriously, "It seems that you have already guessed that the person behind it is me." “
In this way, Wei Chiqi's attitude can be regarded as acquiescing in this matter.
Shangguan Qian sneakily stepped forward and whispered in Wei Chiqi's ear, "Could it be that Pan Chang's death is related to Shangguan Yue?" “
Wei Chiqi heard it in his ears, but he smiled evilly, "Qian'er! You really don't know Shangguan Yue well enough! ”
Recalling Shangguan Yue's galloping skills that day, she was not the same as ordinary women, He thought that if he was in the racecourse, he was not Shangguan Yue's opponent at all, and the more mysterious Shangguan Yue was, the more frightened he felt.
Shangguan Qian covered the corners of her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, trying to hide the shock in her heart, and at some point, she seemed to know less and less about her sister.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qian pulled Wei Chiqi's forearm tightly, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes, "Second cousin, will Shangguan Yue already know that you personally arranged all this?" “
Her reminder made Wei Chi Qi slightly stunned, and he couldn't guess whether Shangguan Yue had found out the truth, he looked into the distance and fell into thought.
