The person who spoke was none other than Shen Wansan, the minister of humerus of the current Hubu Shangshu Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the night minister witnessed the fifth prince and dozens of evil servants coming to block King Liang at the palace gate, threatening to help his mother regain face. The fifth prince took the lead in taking action, and King Liang was just passively defending himself! "
"As for the identity jade pendant, it must have been lost when the fifth prince went to Goulan to have a good time. I don't know when it fell. How can it be blamed on Prince Liang?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers took a breath of cold air. Is Shen Wansan, the Minister of Household Affairs who never takes sides, going to take sides? If Jiulong seizes the direct descendant, he will die if he does not fight.
But why did he support the Ninth Prince who had no foundation, and not long ago he was known as a good-for-nothing?
Qin Ying narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Wansan: "It's not that I don't believe Shen Aiqing, but why did Shen Aiqing appear at the scene of the incident by such a coincidence?"
Shen Wansan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after the King of Liang defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty the day before yesterday, he made a bet with his daughter. The daughter was ignorant and agreed in a panic. I went to explain the situation to the King of Liang. My daughter does not want to get married now. , if Prince Liang wants to marry his daughter, just relying on the position of a county prince is not enough..."
"I didn't expect it, but I happened to see this happen. Everything I said is true!"
Qin Ying waved his hand and said: "Okay, I believe you. The fifth prince Qin Xian caused trouble wantonly and should be punished according to law. However, because of his eagerness to protect his mother, and now he has suffered a heavy blow, I have decided to give him a lighter sentence and a fine of half a year."
"As for the case between Qin Yun and Qian Xiaojia, Qian Xiaojia was at fault first, but you won't cut off someone's arm and ruin his future. If I don't punish you, it will be unbearable. I have decided to punish you to Qian Xiaojia. I apologize, and my salary for the next twenty years will be given to Qian Xiaojia. Do you have any objections to me, my dear friends?"
As soon as these words came out, Qian Tiesheng's face darkened, while Qian Xiaojia was inconsolable. He even broke a hand. Qin Yun could only apologize and pay for it. Is his Qian family short of money?
But Qian Tiesheng heard other meanings from it, which was clearly his intention to protect Qin Yun.
Why did His Majesty start to love these nine sons inexplicably? I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!
But Qin Yun was extremely dissatisfied. What a joke. If I gave him twenty years' salary, wouldn't my position as a prince be in vain?
But just when Qin Yun was about to speak.
An old woman's angry voice came from outside the main hall.
"The emperor's punishment is too biased, and the Ai family disagrees!"
Everyone looked for the voice and saw an old lady with silver-white hair but extremely energetic, slowly walking into the main hall with a dragon-headed crutch supported by a charming woman in palace attire.
At this moment, even Emperor Qin Ying stood up from the dragon throne.
"Queen mother, why did you come to court?"
All the ministers and the prince even shouted: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The Queen Mother stamped her cane heavily.
"If the Ai family doesn't come, aren't you going to deceive me that the Qian family has no one?"
At this time, Qian Xiaojia also climbed up, crying with snot and tears: "Cousin, grandma, you have to make the decision for Xiaojia. My grandson still remembers that you hugged my grandson back then!"
"My grandson's hand is gone, gone forever... Wuwu..."
The Queen Mother acted so distressed: "Don't cry, my aunt will make the decision for you if you don't cry! Why are you still standing there? Find a soft cushion for my grandson."
Then he glanced at Qin Yun and shouted sternly: "Who told you to stand, kneel down!"
Qin Yun's expression changed. In his memory, the old woman valued birth by blood the most. Although she was his grandson, now it seemed that she was not even as good as her cousin.
Qin Yun made a false shot with a smile on his face: "My grandson has met the imperial grandmother!"
"Aijia wants you to kneel down in front of Xiaojia!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yun became furious, while the princes on the side sneered at the good show.
Qin Ying remained silent. He just wanted to see how these nine sons would respond.
Kneeling means that the dignified prince kneels down to an unofficial boy.
Not kneeling, disobeying his grandmother, and being unfilial to his children and grandchildren. You must know that the ancients put filial piety first in governing a country. If this unfilial reputation spreads, Qin Yun will be equivalent to a semi-waste.
No matter how ruthless and inhumane the Tian family is, appearances have to make the final decision.
Qin Yun laughed heartily: "Emperor Grandma, it is only natural for me to kneel to you. After all, without you, there would be no descendants like us." Then Qin Yun changed the subject, "But if you want me to kneel to you, I have to ask Ask, can he bear it?
"Taizu's blue road swept across the eight wastelands and Liuhe with a three-foot green peak, ruling the world, and seeking eternal honor for my descendants named Qin. Taizu has something to say. The descendants of Qin respect heaven and earth, fear ghosts and gods, and worship their ancestors, but they cannot kneel down to those with other surnames. man of!"
"Royal Grandmother, are you trying to break the backbone of the Qin family's descendants for hundreds of years? Or, in the eyes of the Imperial Grandma, the Daxia Qin family is not as good as a child with a yellow mouth from a small Qian family?"
"If that's the case, he can bear this kneeling, but the Qian family can't!"
"Grandma, do you really want me to kneel down?"
Phew~~
As soon as these words came out, the officials were speechless. At this moment, people suddenly discovered that Qin Yun actually had such eloquence. The most important thing was that he was well-founded. He did not say that he would disobey the Queen Mother's order.
He first paid filial piety, but he relied on Taizu's legacy. You, the Queen Mother, are great, but that does not mean that the Qian family is great. If you ask me to kneel to him now, you are asking the Qin family's descendants to kneel to the Qian family's descendants.
Qin Yun almost pointed at the Queen Mother's nose and said, "Old man, are you going to lead the Qian family to rebel?"
Of course, everyone is a person in the scene and has an identity. Some words just need to be meaningful and there is no need to name them, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver.
But at this moment, the Queen Mother was furious.
"Okay, Qin Ying is your good son, and he actually dares to contradict the Ai family!"
"Come here, take off his python robe and throw the Ai family into prison!"
Qin Yun looked at Qin Ying with a smile.
The latter's brows were furrowed. Qin Yun did not want to bear the name of being unfilial, so he used Taizu's legacy as an excuse. How could he, a majestic emperor, bear the name of being unfilial? But he couldn't continue to talk about things with his legacy. After all, it showed how low-level the emperor he was, even worse than his own son.
Qin Ying thought about it and decided to throw the pot back, and suddenly shouted sharply at Qin Yun: "Qin Yun, why don't you apologize to your royal grandmother!"
Qin Yun looked innocent: "Father, my son has been wronged. Why should I be guilty of this?"
"Royal Grandmother, if you feel that my Qin family's bloodline is not as noble as the Qian family's bloodline, I will give up this bloodline right now. Someone comes with a knife and asks me to drain the Qin family's blood and make amends to the Qian family's child!"
"Give it to him!" The Queen Mother became angry and ordered someone to give Qin Yun a dagger.
Qin Yun took it and slipped it from his palm without changing his expression. Drops of blood fell on the hall. Everyone took a breath. He, Qin Yun, was so decisive and loyal.
"I, Qin Yun, hereby swear that if there is even a drop of blood in my body, I will never kneel down to a foreigner!"
"Taizu, late emperor, if you have spirits in heaven, look at how the imperial grandmother forced her grandson to death!"
When the officials saw this scene, they shook their heads and sighed that Qin Yun was really good at acting. Sinful Shen Wansan secretly gave this guy a thumbs up.
High, really high!
Even Qin Ying felt that this boy was too slippery. He spoke like the Taizu and the late Emperor, and he almost pointed at the Queen Mother's nose and cursed.
Qin Ying naturally didn't want this farce to continue, because if it continued, the only one who would be embarrassed in the end would be him, the emperor. In the eyes of outsiders, he is his mother and his son. It would be a big joke if he ignored her.
Qin Ying said in a deep voice: "Mother, Qin Yun would rather die than apologize to Qian Xiaojia. There must be something hidden in it. Qin Yun, you just said that Qian Xiaojia committed a capital crime. What was his crime?"
Qin Yun smiled and pulled off the cloth strips lining his body and wrapped it around his palms. This small wound was nothing to him. If it weren't for the full set of acting, he wouldn't even bother to shed a drop of blood.
But Qin Yun has his own rules. If he bleeds, others will lose their lives.
Qin Yun took a deep breath and looked at Qian Tiesheng and the officials in his lineage.
"Father, this matter involves an old case from 20 years ago. Liu Guanguan is the daughter of Liu Shiqi, the minister of punishment at that time. The reason why she performs and sings in Tianxiang Tower is because she just wants to know why her father died. .”
"And Qian Xiaojia, to be precise, the Qian family and the people behind the scenes, after learning Liu Guanguan's identity, they wanted to silence him!"
"Qian Xiaojia was the one who went to silence him. I didn't kill him that day, not because I couldn't kill him, but because I wanted to keep him alive and tell the people behind him that I hope they will be merciful and spare others! "
"However, Qian Xiaojia has no repentance. As the young minister of Dali Temple, I have the obligation to uncover this unjust, false and wrong case that has been buried in dust for twenty years, and restore Master Liu's innocence!"
Phew~~
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers took a breath of cold air. Qin Ying's face was so gloomy that he was about to burst into tears. Shen Wansan cursed this bastard. Do you know how deep the water is in this place?
Zhao Ming on the side shook his head and sighed secretly, a hero is so sad to be a beauty!
Only the Queen Mother burst out laughing. If before, she just wanted to humiliate and destroy Qin Yun, then now she wanted this man to die. To be precise, most of the civil and military people in the dynasty, and even the emperor wanted him to die.
But what the ministers didn't expect was that Qin Ying said calmly: "In that case, go and investigate, and find out the truth. No matter who it is, no matter where he is, investigate and give the world an explanation." , give me an explanation!"
"My son, take your orders!"
"Qian Xiaojia, I, in the name of the Young Minister of Dali Temple, officially inform you that you have been arrested!"
Then Qin Yun smiled and cupped his hands to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, my grandson wishes you a happy birthday in advance!"
"Father, I do not have the duty to go to the palace to discuss matters. If something happens here, please leave!"
Qin Yun bowed and stepped back. He left, and he walked like a tiger in the wind. No matter how many pairs of vicious eyes came at him from behind, he just laughed it off.
