Chapter 34: Heavens Heart and Human Heart(1/3)
After Jiang Wang left, Delu Hall was silent for a long time.
The emperor's voice then sounded: "Take out that mural and hang it in Donghua Pavilion. I will also look at it every day."
This is the only sentence...
This is the only sentence.
Han Ling lowered his head, followed the order and left.
…
…
An eunuch kept a sufficient distance and led the way, stepping on the huge stone bricks without making a sound. They were accustomed to being cautious people and lived humbly in this great palace.
Jiang Wang walked behind slowly and with extraordinary magnanimity.
With every step, click, click, click.
Walking through the majestic and luxurious palace city, wearing a green shirt and holding a sword, walking calmly, who can not say that he is a handsome young man?
However, when his footsteps echoed alone in the huge palace city, falling on his heart like a drumbeat, Jiang Wang couldn't help but think.
At the time of the Emperor...
Do you know the truth about the assassination of Concubine Lei?
Even, he walked all the way from Xuanwu Street to the palace.
This journey has been calm, but how much turbulence is behind it? Is it the emperor who is beating certain people?
The position of prince is related to the foundation of the country.
Thinking back to the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, the former prince was imprisoned, the new prince was established, and the rebellion of Duke Loulan was finally settled.
From the perspective of the emperor.
Lei Guifei set up a trap and stabbed herself, and it was not a pity to die.
Queen He followed the trend and killed someone with a borrowed knife. Although it was a counterattack, she was still to blame. Afterwards, in order to cover up the truth and force Lin Kuang to be killed, it was an indelible crime. Why did the Osawada clan act as a minion of the queen and sell out the prince?
, the suspicion of intervening in the fight for the dragon is hard to conceal.
What would have been the result if the truth had been revealed back then?
First of all, Queen He must be deposed.
How much competition will it cause if the rear position is suddenly vacant?
This kind of fight is beyond the control of anyone, including the emperor himself. Because there is only one post, and there are too many people watching that position.
You can’t just find someone to sit on.
more importantly……
Since Queen He is deposed, the Crown Prince will of course be deposed as well.
However, within a few years, the princes were deposed and established one after another. Even if this incident was taken alone, it was a foolish act that could shake the country. What's more, it was during the period when Loulan Gong's rebellion had just subsided?
Going further, the Osawada family has always been the top famous family in Qi State. It has a deep foundation in both military and political affairs, and it is also part of the strength of Qi State. If it were held responsible at that time, it would be tantamount to committing suicide when the country was in turmoil.
Trim the muscles.
Qi State, which has just put down the Loulan Gong rebellion, is it appropriate to depose the queen, depose the prince, and hold the Tian family accountable?
The deposed prince in Qingshi Palace has just been imprisoned for three years...
The aftermath is still lingering!
The emperor had too many reasons to remain silent.
Actually, think about it carefully.
Since the prince has been in the East Palace for so many years, why is he still so cautious?
After being the crown prince for so many years, he has not yet been truly recognized by the government and the public as the future monarch of Da Qi.
After being the crown prince for so many years, he has successively established Huaying Palace, Yangxin Palace and Changsheng Palace.
Is there any influence from the incident back then?
Think about it again.
Da Qi has nine soldiers, but the Osawada clan currently has no army under its control.
At present, the Osawada clan does not have a seat in the political affairs hall.
This is one of the top aristocratic families in Qi State. It has developed two islands overseas and is not inferior to any other aristocratic family. Its participation in the highest power of Qi State is also too weak...
Even Gaochang Hou Tian Xili and Xuanhuai Bo Liu Yingqi had a fight in the ceremony not long ago, and the emperor ordered them to strip off their clothes and whip them...
Xuan Huaibo whipped him, so he was whipped. What is the status of the Marquis of Gaochang?
If the emperor already knew the truth back then, he shelving the case for so many years can, to a certain extent, be regarded as a sign of dignity he gave Jiang Wuqi.
The case is not made public. Concubine Lei could still be the emperor's cherished concubine, and Jiang Wuqi could still be the emperor's most beloved son.
If this case is made public, it means that Concubine Lei is the one who committed the crime and will die, and Jiang Wuqi is the son of the sinful concubine.
Concubine Lei Guifei acted boldly, but Jiang Wuqi was not guilty after all...
But even though there are so many reasons to support it, even though there are so many things that can be analyzed.
Jiang Wang is still not sure whether Emperor Qi knew the truth back then.
These analyzes are all based on assumptions.
And the emperor's heart is as unpredictable as the sea.
But at least one thing is clear
Today, Jiang Wang is walking on thin ice, walking on an invisible line. With abyss on his left and right, he gives everyone the best explanation he can. And this so-called appropriate measure is not drawn by the emperor.
line?
The emperor said nothing, but the line was clearly there.
Jiang Wang was indeed impassioned and upright in Delu Palace, but did he dare to touch that line? Did he dare to mention the word queen?
He can only talk about the Feng Gu case, he can only talk about the Gongsun Yu case, and he can only talk about the Lin Kuang case.
Leave it to Yang Jing.
Give Lin Youxie an explanation.
What he promised, he did.
As for really making the truth about the entire assassination of Concubine Lei known to the world...he can't do it.
It is not a matter of evidence being lost.
After having gained insight into the truth, searching for the corresponding evidence will never be more difficult than Uriel’s efforts over the past seventeen years.
Jiang Wang is confident that he can find more evidence.
But that’s where it ends.
Everything we do today is already the current limit.
In other words, it is the limit allowed by the emperor.
In these tumultuous days, so many people died and so many things happened. So many people took part in it, causing ripples...
Only the emperor sat in the deep palace, doing nothing and saying nothing. But everything was within the scope of the emperor's silent sight.
Never exceeded one point.
Seventeen years ago, I let it go lightly. Who will I beat seventeen years later?
Everyone can only struggle within the limits set by the emperor.
Whether it is Beiya, Jiang Wang, several palace masters, or even the current queen!
Just like this great and magnificent palace, although it is silent, it shows at all times that Emperor Qi is the only supreme power of this great empire.
So Jiang Wang said that if he wanted to serve in Beiya, he should be a Beiya captain who didn't know how to act appropriately.
The emperor naturally refused.
He was not given the opportunity to be selfless, but given freedom.
…
…
The majestic palace city gradually left behind him. Under the complicated gazes of people, intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Wang walked directly through the capital city, back to Yaoguangfang, and back to his mansion.
“Heh, are you going to the Chu Kingdom now? Entering the palace in a strong manner, and then running away like a rat as soon as you come back?”
Chong Xuan Sheng occupied his yard again, and laughed very dissatisfiedly: "Then if you don't run faster, what are you going to come back to clean up? What is there to clean up in your house? I brought all the valuables."
Jiang Wang stopped packing his luggage and turned around to glare at him: "Pang Chongxuan, what you say is a bit too disturbing!"
Zhong Xuansheng stood there, holding the door almost full, and snorted: "Isn't it a stab in the lungs?"
To be continued...
