Previously, Wu Chengsi did not know when Fan Ke was taken away.
Because Fan was quietly brought to court by Nie Bo and Fang Bin.
During the public trial, all parts of Dali Temple were tightly guarded, and only entry and no exit were allowed.
Therefore, Wu Chengsi never got the news.
After Fan Ke was beheaded directly outside the court hall of Dali Temple amid the cheers of the people, Dali Temple was opened, and Wu Chengsi came after hearing the news.
But no one found Di Ying, only his wife's separated body and head.
Wu Chengsi was so angry that he felt dizzy. He hugged Fan Ke's head and went to find His Majesty.
Di Ying happened to be in the imperial study room as well.
He entered the palace slowly, giving Wu Chengsi enough time to pass.
Just before Wu Chengsi arrived, he entered the imperial study to pay homage to His Majesty.
The old emperor was curious about Di Ying's arrival. Before he could ask, he saw Wu Chengsi holding a human head and covered in blood.
The old emperor was immediately displeased.
This is so disrespectful.
Then he called out to Zhi Wu Chengsi and said, "Stand in front of the palace door and answer."
Wu Chengsi: "..."
He came angrily and was about to go to His Majesty to complain to Di Ying. Unexpectedly, he was not allowed to enter at the palace gate.
He had no choice but to retreat outside the high threshold, fall to his knees with a bang, and burst into tears.
The old emperor looked at Wu Chengsi and then at Di Ying.
One eyebrow is high, the other is low, frowning and looking at Di Ying.
In this case, the old emperor didn't even bother to ask.
The head Wu Chengsi was holding in his arms was definitely chopped off by Di Ying.
Well, the woman's head is who Wu Chengsi is.
Don't say that the old emperor couldn't see clearly the appearance of that head. At this time, no one could see clearly the bloody head with messy hair that Wu Chengsi was still holding on his side.
The old emperor was seriously considering where to send Di Ying this time.
The old emperor didn't speak, and no one dared to speak out.
Only Wu Chengsi was crying outside the palace and did not dare to speak.
Di Ying stood there as if he were an old man, with his hands in his sleeves and his eyelids drooped.
Seeing Di Ying's appearance, the old emperor guessed in his heart: Di Ying was stable, and it was obvious that Wu Chengshi was wrong this time.
The old emperor immediately thought again: Just give Wu Chengsi some comfort.
So, he waved his hand.
Su Hong shouted on his behalf: "Please make a statement outside the palace of King Wei."
As soon as Wu Chengsi heard that he could speak, he immediately cried and said: "Holy Lord, aunt, after all, my nephew is also the king of Wei who has been personally named by you.
But, but Di Ying, he... he killed his nephew's wife, Princess Wei, at any time... Your Majesty, Di Ying, he didn't take us or the majesty of the royal family seriously, let alone I don’t take you seriously, Your Majesty..."
I cried so hard that I felt heartbroken and heartbroken.
The old emperor: "..."
She twisted her neck and glared at Di Ying: "Did you kill Fan Ke?"
"hold head high."
Di Ying clasped her hands in her hands and cupped her hands towards the old emperor.
He replied: "The emperor broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Princess Wei murdered her biological sister, so Wei Chen made her plead guilty and punished. Your Majesty, please believe Wei Chen. Wei Chen completely punished her in accordance with the law."
The old emperor: "..."
After choking for two breaths, she narrowed her eyes.
Looking at Di Ying, he said: "Di Ying, you are becoming more and more courageous. Your lawlessness is becoming more and more fierce. The Wu family are all of my royal blood, and they already have the majesty of the Tian family above their heads.
You have attacked my Wu family again and again, and I have tolerated you again and again, but you have become more and more unable to restrain yourself.
Don't talk to me about equality.
The reason why the emperor is the emperor naturally has greater power and more benefits.
This means: Royal people naturally have the qualifications and rights to be tolerated more. This right of tolerance means that if you want to move them, you must get my approval.
You don't take them seriously, let alone me. "
Di Ying said nothing, only raised her eyelids, then drooped them again, and continued to stand there with her head bowed.
The old emperor, who was ready, and instantly came up with a lot of harsh words, and was ready to have a good fight with Di Ying, was in trouble.
She raised her hand and patted the dragon case, and shouted: "Di Ying, do you know... it's wrong?!"
Di Ying cupped her hands and continued to lower her head without saying a word.
The old emperor: "...Hand over your Xiangyin. You can go home and farm. I will fulfill your wish."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Di Ying's face, and he immediately took out the seal of Prime Minister Wenchang and the fish charm from his arms, presented them on the dragon table with both hands, then bowed his hands and quickly exited the hall, running away like the wind.
The old emperor: "..."
Wu Chengsi: "...Your Majesty, your nephew's wife died, you, you just abolished Di Ying's position?"
Hearing this, the old emperor, who was suffocating, pointed to the distance and said angrily: "Get out of here too. You can't discipline your family well, and you want to push the blame and harm others. Who gives you face? Get away." No one can see it without an imperial edict!"
Wu Chengsi didn't dare to say another word anymore, so he could only hold Fan Ke's head dejectedly and roll out of the palace.
And this matter is not over yet.
When word spread that Di Ying was successful in solving the case but was brutally beaten to the end, the people became angry.
They spread the scandal of Wu Chengsi everywhere, accusing him of seducing his wife, being a bad housekeeper, harming others, etc.
The storyteller made up stories and cursed in a roundabout way; the beggar banged a broken bowl and sat on the street corner pointing out mulberry trees and cursing the locust trees; the children danced on the stone lattice, sang nursery rhymes made up by someone's heart, and scolded in childlike voices.
What is the most cruel sentence?
"My nephew will visit my aunt's grave. Do you think it's funny or not?"
For a time, Wu Chengsi's reputation was extremely bad.
The imperial censor's impeachment memorial and the impeachment memorials of some ministers flew towards the old emperor's desk like snowflakes.
And the words "nephew will visit my aunt's grave, you tell me whether it's funny or not" also reached the ears of the old emperor.
After pondering for a long time, she issued a decree: to permanently deprive Wu Chengsi of his inheritance rights.
Wu Chengsi vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Since then he has been ill.
Twenty days later, he died of illness amid constant pain and suffering. Age: 49 years old.
The old emperor did not even dare to spend extravagant funeral arrangements for him.
The public anger still lingered, and the old emperor could only be buried with the royal rites of Wei. The decree also specifically states that there will be no road sacrifices.
If not for anything else, it’s because I’m afraid of being hit.
Later, in order to appease the emotions of the courtiers and the people, Di Huaijie was activated again and transferred to Luozhou Sima.
By the way, he also responded to Di Huaijie's second recommendation and promoted Zhang Jianzhi to Qiuguan Shilang.
Yao Cong was promoted to Minister of War.
Cheng Ting was promoted to General Youwu Weiwei.
Yao Cong was awkward at first and was unwilling to be promoted to this official position. Finally, he was persuaded by Song Wen and accepted it.
Dozens of them were promoted almost every time because of Di Ying's misfortune. This was simply His Majesty trying to sow discord between them. That's what Yao Cong thought.
