Realizing that they had caused a big disaster, the actors knelt on the ground and said tremblingly when they were questioned: "Your Majesty, this slave has been ordered by Tai Le Cheng. The slaves will dance whatever lion Tai Le Cheng asked them to do."
"The slaves don't know that dancing the yellow lion violates a taboo in the palace. Please forgive me..."
The actors insisted that it was Wang Wei who instructed him, and Xuanzong locked eyes with Wang Wei sharply: "Tai Lecheng, what else do you have to say?"
What Wang Wei handed over to the actors was clearly not Huang Shi. When he realized that someone had plotted against him today, and that it was a conspiracy against him, Wang Wei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The evidence is there, but he can't argue.
"As an official in charge of rituals and music at Taichang Temple, he encourages actors to dance the yellow lion. This is so disrespectful. What is the intention?"
Xuanzong said angrily: "Come here, capture Tai Le Cheng Wang Wei and the lion dancers for me, and throw them into the heavenly prison!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Brother Imperial, is there any misunderstanding about this matter?"
King Ning of Qi still wanted to deal with it, but Xuanzong said that Taile Cheng was plotting rebellion, and anyone who dared to intercede would be guilty of the same crime as Taile Cheng.
Yue'er, who was confused, came to her senses at the last moment. Just as she was about to plead for Tai Le Cheng, Li Si Xu pulled her back, and then she could only watch her father leave angrily.
After leaving the East Neiyuan and heading towards the harem, Yue'er asked in confusion: "Why did you hold me back just now?"
Princess Yuzhen is someone who treats her sincerely. Why doesn't Li Sixu not want to save Wang Wei?
It's just that Yue'erguang was anxious for Wang Wei, but she didn't see her father's gloomy face when her Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang begged for Tai Lecheng's mercy.
Because of Aunt Yuzhen's relationship, Wang Wei was already close to her uncles and uncles. At this time, they rushed to stand up and plead for Wang Wei, which would only make his father even more afraid.
Therefore, the actor's instinct to dance the yellow lion was reduced to a trivial matter, and she was only charged with disrespecting the emperor. After her uncle Wang asked for mercy, her father would tell him that Tai Le Cheng was treasonous, and anyone who dared to intercede would be guilty of the same crime.
In a word, the road is blocked!
Li Sixu told Yue'er her analysis, and Yue'er suddenly realized: "So that's it. I said Aunt Yuzhen loves you the most. How could you leave this matter alone?"
"How can a small official in charge of rituals and music have any rebellious intentions?"
"This matter must be a misunderstanding. Tai Lecheng has been framed."
Yue'er said anxiously: "Father said that anyone who dares to plead for mercy is the same as Tai Lecheng. Even if Lady Yu and Aunt Yuzhen go to plead with Dad, it won't work. Sisi, what do you think we should do?"
After retiring to the mountains and forests, a poet who can write about the bright moon shining among the pines and the clear springs flowing over the rocks must have a noble character even if his ambition to make contributions has not been worn away by the ups and downs.
How could he, as a minor official of Taichang Temple, get involved in the struggle for royal power?
Just now, when Wang Wei was kneeling on the ground, he couldn't say anything. Li Sixu thought of the time when she was making a fuss in the royal study about leaving the palace, and Wang Wei came to her father to discuss the music for the lunch banquet.
The dance costumes and props used in the Dragon Luncheon banquet ritual music should be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then supervised by the Clothing Bureau, right?
In this way, there will definitely be a detailed list here!
Li Sixu then said: "If you can't beg for mercy, then don't beg for mercy. Let's find a way to clear Tai Lecheng's grievances."
"How to clear the grievances?"
Yue'er scolded herself: "You said I was just teasing Zhang Bian. Why did I insist on coming to the Jiaofang to tease him? After watching the dragon boat trial, my father would not go to the Jiaofang at all. Now it's better." Well, as soon as he came to the studio and saw the actors dancing the yellow lion, Tai Lecheng was in bad luck."
"Aunt Yuzhen knows about this, will she blame Yue'er?"
Yue'er was so angry that she hit her forehead with her small fist: "Does she think that Yue'er deliberately lured her father to the Jiaofang to harm Tai Lecheng?"
Sure enough, she was protected like a treasure by the noble concubine and the Third Emperor Brother. How could it be that her simple sister Yue could survive safely in the palace until now?
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Sixu couldn't help but told her: "As for suspicion, Aunt Gongsun who was suddenly invited into the palace by Tai Lecheng, Li Wan who came to draw Gongsun Aunt, Zhang Bian who put himself in the urn, and also said that you might be here in Jiaofang At the same time, Uncle Ning and Uncle Qi who accompanied my father to find you, and even the third brother who is looking for you everywhere are all suspects."
"Even I am suspected."
Li Sixu stood up on her tiptoes and brushed the leaves off her hair, and said calmly: "Stop thinking about it, the results will come later."
Li Sixu stopped and wandered by Taiye Lake.
Yue'er didn't understand at all: "What are you waiting for? What's the result?"
Before Yue'er could finish her words, Liu Yunying emerged from the trees in the imperial garden. After approaching Li Sixu, she took out a few pages of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Li Sixu.
"Everything the young master wants is up there!"
When Liu Yunying gave the thing to Li Sixu, she also explained: "Yunying was hit by Aunt Gongsun, but she turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything, so she didn't disturb anyone and got the thing." ”
"Aunt Gongsun?"
Li Sixu was thoughtful, then unfolded the paper filled with small regular script.
Yue'er curiously moved her head closer and found that what was written above was the list of the Dragon Boat Festival ritual music prepared by the Jiaofang, as well as the dance costumes and props to be used in the ritual music, and submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Sisi, it turns out that you thought of a way to clear Tai Lecheng's grievances, and asked Liu Huwei to steal it. No, go get the list. With this list, you will definitely prove that those actors are framed against him."
The look in Yue'er's eyes was astonishing, but the next moment she saw clearly the column of encouragement, and the list of reports to the Ministry of Internal Affairs had bright yellow words on it, which obviously recorded the cloth used to make lions.
Yue'erren suddenly wilted: "Why is it written so brightly and yellow?"
"The bright yellow written on it is not necessarily bright yellow. It is very likely that the list has been changed by someone."
It was also because Li Sixu had seen Wang Wei's calligraphy when she was staying in Yuzhenguan, so she felt that the words on the list only had the traces of his calligraphy, but not its charm.
There is a calligraphy and painting by Wang Wei in the Ganlu Hall!
Sure enough, she returned to the Manna Hall with the list and compared it with Wang Wei's calligraphy. It was obvious that the list had been changed.
He even thought of the next move. The person behind the scenes was going to put Wang Wei to death!
“Just having this list is not enough, just in case.”
Li Sixu told Liu Yunying: "Go quietly to the Empress's side and ask for a copy of the list of dance costumes and props that the Shangyi Bureau sent to the studio."
Liu Yunying took the order and left. Yu Chongrong, who was holding the kitten in his arms, looked at Li Sixu with a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes wide open, as if he was relieved.
She was in a good mood because Xuanzong sent a pair of cranes to Ganlu Hall.
When she learned that something had happened at the Jiaofang, and it was Tai Lecheng Wang Wei who was involved, she lost all her good mood.
