Murong Yi

According to historical records, in March of the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yushi doctor impeached the left servant of Shangshu in Nangongtan for shooting Lin Qian. Wait for the crime.The emperor was furious and handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation.

This is the beginning of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, all history books must exaggerate and then record the beginning of major cases.Lin Qian's case had a far-reaching impact, and hundreds of people were implicated. In just a few months, there were not a few people who were punished, dismissed, and exiled.By the end of the case, the power of the court had changed by three points. It was at this time that Emperor Ming Xuan's centralization measures gradually revealed their clues.

Murong Ni put down the memorial, stood up, and smiled at the person who walked in from the door: "Xiao Liu, you are here."

Today, Murong Yu is wearing a dark blue casual dress with elegant patterns, his hair is loosely rolled up, and his eyebrows are smiling. His usual shrewdness is replaced by a laziness from within, which further complements his leisurely and self-satisfied style, as if at this moment he What I entered was not the south study in the palace, but a place in the suburbs to enjoy spring and flowers.

"Brother Huang." He arched his hands, sat down by the window made by Chen Xiang, stroked the white jade chess piece and jade chess pieces with his fingers, and said, "It's been a long time since I played a game with you, Brother Huang, how are you doing now?"

Murong Yan sat down on the opposite side, nodded, and readily accepted.

A chess game began soon, with black and white chess pieces criss-crossing, like two armies confronting each other, a battlefield that lacked the smoke and blood but was equally thrilling.

Murong Ni pondered, and put his hands on the chess box, suddenly he raised his head, looked at the opposite person who was also serious and pensive, and said with a light smile: "It's just a game of chess, Xiao Liu, do you have to be so serious?"

"Brother Huang, aren't you the same?" Murong Yi lowered his hand, and just caught the key point of Murong Yi's gradually expanding power at that corner. He must be very satisfied with his move, and his determined smile widened again. A little bit, "Besides, Brother Huang, your chess skills are higher than mine. If I want to win you, I must go all out. There is no room for negligence."

"Okay, okay, this step is really a coup!!" Murong Yan focused on that one, and praised.

Murong Xiao smiled slightly, as long as he wins the person in front of him, even if it is only a temporary advantage in a game of chess, it is enough to make him feel happy.

Looking at the smile of the person in front of her, Murong Yan shook her head slightly after praising her, and sighed: "However, Xiao Liu, you have underestimated me again."

Murong's expression changed drastically, he looked at the chessboard in shock, but he didn't know what to do for a moment.

And Murong Ni sat there, sipping tea, with arched eyebrows, beautifully shaped thin lips raised, eyes full of smiles.

At the end of the game, Baizi finally won, although it was only two pieces.

The hair on Murong's forehead was already wet with sweat, he patted it with his hand, bowed his head and said: "Brother Huang is as good as ever, I have to admit defeat."

"Hehe." Murong Yan laughed, noncommittal.

The two of them tidied up the gaps between the chess pieces, and Murong Ni sighed: "Xiao Liu, your chess skills are getting better and better. You should have won the chess game, but it's a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Murong Yu still hadn't lost his mind on the game, he interjected, recalling the chess game just now in his mind.

"pity……"

Murong Ni put the last chess piece into the chess box, and continued: "Unfortunately, Xiao Liu, you are too obsessed, you care too much about winning or losing a piece, and you don't want to take half a step back, and you don't want to be temporarily defeated...Of course, While this becomes your weakness in chess, it is not a bad thing for you in other respects."

Murong was silent, and after a while, he smiled: "I see, next time I play chess, I will pay attention."

Murong Yan, who heard such an answer, sighed in his heart.

His reminder was once again ignored.This younger brother, he didn't understand more and more, or, he didn't understand it at the beginning.

The two put away the chess game, Murong Ni sat behind the desk, the relaxed feeling just now disappeared without a trace.

His expression became serious: "Xiao Liu, the matter of Lin Qian is a bit beyond our imagination."

Murong Yi waited quietly for Murong Ji's words, if his guess was correct, what he would be told was the reason why he came here.

"Xiao Liu, do you still remember Lin Qian's first wife, Mrs. Wang?"

"Ah."

"Four years ago, at their wedding, you were invited to be the officiant, right?"

"good."

On the surface, Lin Qian was Emperor Ming Xuan's guest of honor, but in the court, anyone with a little discernment knew that it would be more appropriate to replace the emperor with Prince Rui.

When Murong Yi was in chaos in the court, although the imperial edict of the first emperor played a certain role in removing the crown prince and killing treacherous officials, what was more important was the backing support of the sixth prince Murong Yi at that time.In the past five years, the two have joined forces to eliminate the hidden forces of the former prince Murong Yuan, and the situation in all aspects has improved.However, with the gradual display of the new emperor's courage, it is inevitable that the power of the Prince of Rui, Murong Yi, will dominate.Lin Qian was an important official of Murong's faction.

"I don't know where they got the news... But, that Wang family, this time, really hurt Lin Qian."

Murong Ni seemed a little annoyed, as if he was unwilling to miss a step: "...we have calculated thousands of times, but there are still things we can't calculate."

"Brother Huang, please speak clearly..." Murong put his hands on the table, with a shocked expression, he raised his voice and shouted eagerly, "Why do we underestimate them?!!"

Murong Ni smiled bitterly and said, "Zhen... tell you a story!"

A young man from a famous family married a cold woman as his wife under the words of a matchmaker.Soon after the marriage, the wife gave birth to a boy.But this child did not become a catalyst for the relationship between them. On the contrary, it made the young man gradually stay away from his wife who was as hard to get close as ice.Later, by chance, the young man fell in love with a woman from a singing building, and finally married that woman despite the opposition of her family.The singing girl's gentleness captured the young man's heart like water, and at the same time ignited the jealousy of the young lady, the young lady who was born in a famous family.

On the night when the song girl gave birth, a fire buried the person the young man loved forever.Holding the burnt body beyond recognition, he cried loudly.

No one knew that the baby girl born to the song girl was begged by the song girl's personal maid and was abandoned at the door of a large family in the capital at that time under the begging of the song girl's personal maid. Adopted by a deep hostess.

Ten years later, the girl came out like a lotus flower.

She fell in love with a handsome noble son whom she met by accident.

"This noble son is Lin Qian." Murong Yan said helplessly, "And this girl is his half-sister Wang Yan. She is also his current wife, Wang Shi."

Murong's eyes widened slightly, and after a while, he absorbed this little surprise: "...Could it be that this is the so-called 'internal turmoil'?"

"Yes, there is evidence in Dali Temple, which can prove that the two of them invited you, the officiant, to worship and get married when they learned of this secret."

"This...isn't possible..." Murong Yi seemed a little disbelieving.Once Lin Qian's charge is confirmed, he will bear the brunt of the crime, and he will be the one to be implicated.

"I hope so too." Murong Ni sighed, "Physical evidence, personal evidence, everything is available, even he himself has been recruited..."

"I... even if I want to save him... I can't save him!"

Murong Yu's complexion slowly changed, the color of blood began to fade, and paleness took over.No one thought that the past hidden in time would be like this.

And the last sentence is really... a bolt from the blue.

"Also... Lin Qian and Wang, they conspired to kill Lin Qian's mother in order to keep this secret from being known."

From night to four o'clock, everything is silent.

In the deepest part of the palace dungeon, there is only moonlight, covering the place with a desolate pale color.

The man's once handsome and plump face has become dull, and the former second-rank court uniform has been replaced by a prison uniform made of coarse cloth. Anyone who has seen his past demeanor and his current appearance will have to sigh heavily. Those who are delicate, I am afraid that they will be full of tears and sigh sadly.

The bright moon is half curved, and the silver light is dim.

He sat on the simple bed, looking at the small window hanging at the highest point of the wall, where faint moonlight penetrated.

He was only imprisoned temporarily and was not severely tortured. He believed that the prince would not abandon him, just because the crime of framing was so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye could see it as long as he was not a fool.Not to mention, the close connection between him and the prince.

He hooked the corners of his mouth, and a confident smile appeared on his face, but in the next moment, his blood turned pale.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened unconsciously, and the color of fear penetrated deep into the bone.

The moonlight shining through the window was covered by ghostly shadows at some point.
