The Empress Dowager said loudly: "The Ai family knows that the Taifu is devoted to supporting the prince. The Ai family should not come to court today, but since they are discussing the matter of the prince, the Ai family should say a few words. After all, the prince has appointed the prince. Concubine is not only a state matter, but also a family matter."
"As for Leng Xiao's murder of the prince, the Ai family has investigated and found out that there is absolutely no such thing. On the contrary, the prince's legs were disabled that day and it was Leng Xiao who cured them. Not only the prince's legs were cured by Leng Xiao, but also King Shun was seriously injured that day. , Princess Shun had difficulty giving birth, and Leng Xiao rescued her."
As soon as the Empress Dowager said these words, the officials below were in an uproar.
That day, many people heard the roar coming from the Prime Minister's Palace. Leng Xiao was ordered to kill the prince. While treating the prince's legs, he even poisoned him and murdered him. It was the prince's good fortune that allowed him to escape death.
As for Leng Xiao's rescue of King Shun, everyone has never heard of it.
Taifu Lu immediately knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, it is certain that Leng Xiao will kill her father. Even if she is doing something for the court, patricide is a serious human crime. She can be exempted from punishment, but she must not be a criminal. Princess, otherwise, how can the court educate the people?"
The Empress Dowager asked: "My great master is well-read in poetry and literature, and is well versed in the principles of heaven and earth. I want to ask you, which one is more important, loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, or filial piety to parents? I know that my father has wolfish ambitions and intends to bring harm to the country and the people." , is she right or wrong to kill off her relatives in a timely manner?"
Taifu Lu immediately retorted: "Queen Mother, when Leng Zhenhuan was burned to death, many people heard a sentence: Leng Xiao did not kill his father for the sake of the court and not for the country, but because Leng Zhenhuan did not murder her as promised. After marrying His Highness the Crown Prince, he married her to Lord Lin Zimo, so there is no such thing as loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and filial piety to parents as mentioned by the Queen Mother, let alone annihilation of relatives due to righteousness. Everything Leng Xiao did was for himself and selfishly."
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "Really? But that's not what the Ai family knows. Moreover, the Ai family has future witnesses who can prove that everything the Ai family said is true."
She immediately ordered, "Come on, send them to the temple."
Taifu Lu and the officials turned around and saw Eunuch Fu leading more than ten people to the court. All of them were dressed in civilian clothes and looked very timid.
Then, a few more people came. These people were well-dressed, and some officials recognized them as neighbors who lived near the Prime Minister's Mansion. They were knights without official positions.
After they went to court, they knelt down to pay tribute. Duke Fu reported: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, some of these people are guards and servants who used to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and some of them live next door to the Prime Minister's Mansion. They are all Eyewitnesses of the day.”
When Taifu Lu saw this, he immediately knew something was wrong. Since these people were able to come to court, they must have been bribed.
But these people were passed down by the Empress Dowager, so was it the Empress Dowager who bribed them?
Nangong Yitian glanced at Wuji indifferently. He had found these people and asked them to testify. He had taught them how to speak after they went to the temple.
I wanted to wait until all the disputes were over before announcing the person, but the Queen's Grandmother summoned them to the palace first. Why would the Queen's Grandmother know? Wuji told her.
The imperial grandmother asked Xiang to help him register Leng Xiao as the crown princess, but Wuji was not allowed to tell him that Leng Sui'an was Leng Xiao.
Therefore, there must be something going on here that we must try our best to hide from him.
After Leng Xiao died that year, the imperial grandmother once said that she liked Leng Xiao very much, liked her perseverance and determination, and liked her determination to do things without leaving any room for error. However, now she would do everything possible to hide it from him with Wuji.
And Wuji would not betray him because of a few words from the emperor's grandmother, unless it was at stake with his life or with the Great Wei State.
He is not in a hurry to know the answer, because everything will eventually be revealed in front of him.
