The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1044: Forged Will

At this time, Xu Jinzhong was holding his breath in his heart. Since the emperor had thought of the plan, could he do his best in the next suicide note to respond to the situation and restore the emperor's face?

If I could leave behind a good "suicide note" that would have an extraordinary effect, then I would definitely be looked upon with high regard by the emperor.

As Xu Jinzhong walked out of the palace, he recalled what he knew about Princess Gaoyang's life experience and personality traits, as well as the recent chaos in the court and the favorable effects that needed to be achieved, taking everything into consideration.

Gradually, I had an idea in my mind.

After leaving the palace, Xu Jinzhong came to the Taimiao located in the southeast corner of the imperial city. At this time, martial law was imposed here and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Since Xu Jinzhong had the emperor's token, he naturally arrived at Emperor Gaozu's bedroom very smoothly.

Princess Gaoyang was reflecting here. After all, Li Shimin was still alive, and this kind of thing could only trouble Emperor Gaozu himself.

It was also here that Princess Gaoyang ended her short life and followed in the footsteps of her ancestors.

Xu Jinzhong walked forward and silently lit a few incense sticks, performed the ceremony respectfully, and went to the place next door where the body was temporarily placed.

Before this, people from several departments had come to inspect it, and the Minister of the Zongzheng Temple had also come to check it out.

Under the supervision of the imperial guards, Xu Jinzhong carefully inspected the place where Princess Gao Yang hanged herself and the stool that fell to the ground. Of course, what was more important to him was to check the place where Princess Gao Yang reflected on herself. He found that there was no trace of kneeling on the bright yellow cushion in front of Emperor Gaozu's spirit tablet.

Sure enough, Xu Jinzhong thought to himself, Gao Yang has a stubborn and willful personality and does whatever he wants. Who in Chang'an doesn't know that?
How could a whore who could fool around with the monks in the temple reflect on herself?
It seems that someone helped her save face.

Moreover, Xu Jinzhong thought more, the Imperial Ancestral Temple was a sacred place, and generally, only the princes who were not born of the legitimate family could not come here without an imperial decree. Gao Yang was still a princess, and more importantly, she was a princess who had already been married.

Strictly speaking, she is no longer a member of the Li family, but a member of the Fang family. She is also an unchaste woman. What qualifications does she have to come to a place like the Taimiao?

Xu Jinzhong narrowed his eyes and pondered: "I thought that the emperor was away from home all year round and didn't understand the rules here, so he rashly issued an order to let Gao Yang come to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Now it seems that the emperor had already made arrangements."

Xi asked the guards again and learned that the officials from the Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, as well as people from Jingzhao Yin, Chang'an and Wannian counties, had all come to the conclusion that the emperor had committed suicide by hanging. Xu Jinzhong understood.

It seems that even if someone noticed something was wrong, they would not dare to speak out, so this case is destined to be buried!
When Xu Jinzhong arrived in front of Gao Yang's body, he saw that she was still wearing a colorful skirt and various jewelry. His face darkened. She came to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship her ancestors and was still dressed so festively. This Princess Gao Yang was really spoiled into a fool.

He now somewhat understood why the emperor was so cruel!
If such a lawless woman were alive, I don't know how much trouble she would cause the emperor in the future. More importantly, there are many such rich and powerful women in the palace, and they have become a burden to the emperor.

It is estimated that the emperor also wanted to solve the problem once and for all and use thunder-like means to warn those people not to act recklessly and bring discredit to the royal family.

Today, the nobles can catch Princess Gaoyang's hairpin, and tomorrow they may be able to catch the tail of another princess or county lady. The emperor really needs to kill a chicken to scare the monkey and deter them. It is far from the time for the Li family to have the final say in this world.

Xu Jingzong shook his head, wandered around the incense table for a while, and then left.

However, he did not return to the palace, but returned to his own residence first, and after instructing no one to disturb him, he went to the study alone, took out the two manuscripts given by Princess Gaoyang by the emperor, and read them carefully for a while.

Then he stretched out his fingers and unconsciously drew them in the air for a while.

Finally, he nodded confidently, took out a few sheets of commonly used official paper from the desk, ground ink, picked up the pen, and began to write quickly!
An hour later, Xu Jingzong returned to Taiji Palace and came to Chengqing Hall.

After greeting several important ministers who were sitting outside drinking tea, he went straight into the imperial study. When he saw Li Yan, he knelt down to pay his respects immediately.

Then, feeling uneasy, he handed over two pieces of letter paper with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, after a careful investigation of the scene, I indeed found the suicide note left by the princess. I dare not read it without permission. Please take a look."

"Ok!"

Li Yan took it with a heavy face, glanced through it roughly, and then read it carefully again, twice in a row.

Then he closed his eyes and thought about possible loopholes.

Although Li Yan had a blank expression on his face, he secretly praised Xu Jinzhong for his ability to understand the emperor's intentions.

This old guy is really not simple!
It even exceeded his expectations, which surprised him.

From this suicide note, we can see that Gao Yang wrote everything about herself. She was born in the deep palace and was favored by Li Shimin. She didn't know the suffering of the people or the evil of people. She just thought that all places in the world were as beautiful as the palace. Later, she was arranged by Li Shimin to marry Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and had no ambition, but he was very doting on his princess, holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her. The couple could not be said to be in harmony, but they were in perfect harmony.

I thought my life would just pass like this!

Later, his father fell ill, his mother was also in poor health, and his parents-in-law were also old. Gao Yang went to Huichang Temple in Jinchengfang, northwest of Chang'an City, to pray for the elders on both sides, and to ask the Bodhisattva to let her get pregnant as soon as possible so that the Fang family could have children.

But unexpectedly, he was targeted by a monk named Bian Ji in the temple.

During one incense burning ceremony, the young and simple-minded Princess Gaoyang was led into the inner hall to chant sutras and pray for her family. According to Monk Bianji, there were too many people coming and going in the front hall, and the Bodhisattva had to take care of too many people, so the effect was not very good.

The Bodhisattva in the inner hall at the back is very spiritual and will grant any wish.

Gao Yang felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he came to the back hall. At first, Gao Yang was cautious, but everything went smoothly. After that, every time he came to pray to Buddha, Gao Yang would be at the back. Finally, one time, when he relaxed his vigilance, he drank the tea brought by Banji.

Not long after, she fell into a coma, and when she woke up again, she had been defiled by Bianji.

At that time, Gao Yang was in so much pain that he almost committed suicide to clear his name.

But who knew that the evil monk used this as a threat, saying that if the princess dared to commit suicide, he would say that the two of them had an affair and that it was the princess who seduced him. If this matter spread, not only would the Fang family lose face, but even the royal family would be disgraced.

Princess Gaoyang grew up in a secret village and had never encountered such a villain or seen such methods. She was so frightened that she chose to conceal the truth temporarily.

Unexpectedly, the evil monk Banji threatened the princess with this and raped her again and again, and demanded that she maintain this improper relationship with him for a long time. The princess was trapped in this cage and felt so miserable that she asked Banji to break up with her many times.

She also gave the priceless golden and jade pillow given to her by her father to Bian Ji, hoping that Bian Ji would let her go for the sake of the money.

The princess was still too young to know the viciousness of human hearts. Seeing such precious treasures, Banji treated the princess as a cash cow. He took advantage of the princess' kindness and innocence, fearing that her reputation would be damaged and that the royal family and Fang family would be disgraced.

He intends to occupy the princess for a long time, satisfy his selfish desires, and get both her and her wealth!
But people are not as good as heaven.

Perhaps the Buddha could not stand what this evil monk did and sent down the disaster.

A few days ago, the meditation room of Bianji was robbed and the golden jade pillow was lost. It was presented to Jingzhao Prefecture by Yunyang County. Later, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Chu Heng sent people to arrest Bianji. He believed the one-sided words of the evil monk and ruined the princess's life reputation.

The princess reflected in the Taimiao and felt truly ashamed. She had no face to face her ancestors and the only way she could clear her name was by dying!

After reading it, Li Yan was very satisfied. If this suicide note was made public, not only would the royal family's reputation be preserved, but Fang Xuanling would probably be very satisfied, and the Fang family's reputation would be restored.

You know, having an affair with a monk and being bullied because of being young and ignorant are two completely different things!

In this letter, Gao Yang's image was completely reversed. The basin of shit thrown by the nobles was completely caught by Li Yan in the basin. He didn't get soaked at all, so his image was naturally not damaged.

The face of Li and Fang was saved.
Moreover, the aristocratic families were not involved in this matter, and the main blame was put on Bian Ji, and the rest was also put on Chu Heng. Chu Heng's confusion, credulity, and rashness in reporting to the court without thorough investigation were all exposed.

In this way, Chu Heng is finished!

Previously, the nobles had spread rumors everywhere, describing Gao Yang as a slut who could be slept with by anyone. The common people who did not know the truth began to criticize her, and even the royal family followed suit. The Fang family was so humiliated that they could not even raise their heads.

But once this suicide note is published, the people will know that a naive and romantic girl was defiled by a villain while praying for her father. She was afraid at the time, but also concerned about her reputation, so she tried her best to cover it up, but in the end she was still injured all over her body.

Finally, under pressure from public opinion, he died in front of his ancestors to prove his innocence and atone for his sins.

Faced with such a result, the people can only sympathize. The more angrily they accused Gao Yang some time ago, the more guilty they feel now.

Human life is as important as heaven. In this day and age, people believe that sins are forgiven when a person dies. Isn't one life enough to atone for his sins?

What's more, what crime did this little girl commit? She was just too well protected by her family and didn't know how to face the ups and downs outside. Bianji's constant pressure and people's criticism forced a young life to death.
