Luoyang Brocade Chapter 313: Disposal (1)
()
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly.
This Lu Hong is quite responsible. She didn't deny anything in front of him, which also made him look at her a little higher.
But that's all.
Princess Changping committed the evil act of killing her husband and became infamous and was imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery. Lu Hong, who "seduced" Princess Changping, is certainly to blame.
He was seriously ill and bedridden before, so he couldn't care about this for a while. The dragon's body improved slightly, so he ordered people to investigate the matter secretly.
The relationship between Lu Hong and Princess Changping was originally considered a secret. I don’t know who contributed to the situation and spread the word. Therefore, the emperor knew the whole story without any effort. Forget about the anger in my heart.
Everyone is inevitably tempted to protect their shortcomings.
In the emperor's opinion, if Lu Hong hadn't actively seduced her, Princess Changping would not have thought of killing her consort. When such a scandal happened, he dealt with Princess Changping ruthlessly, and of course he would not let Lu Hong go.
"When did you and Chang Ping meet, and how did it begin?" The emperor's voice was cold: "Now tell me one by one. If even a word is false, I will not forgive you lightly."
When things came to a close, Lu Hong became much calmer.
There is no way to avoid this disaster even if you want to!
"Reporting to the Emperor, after the student arrived in the capital last year, he and his younger brother met Her Royal Highness the Princess on the street. At that time, the carriage almost hit her and disturbed Her Royal Highness. The student immediately got off the carriage to apologize, and thus got to know the princess..."
Lu Hong neither exaggerated nor covered up, and told the story of what happened between him and Princess Changping.
When talking about what happened on the night of King Yan’s wedding, Lu Hong changed his story slightly: “...that night, the student was drunk, and for some reason, he woke up in the princess’s mansion. Drinking After taking the hangover medicine the next night, I felt unbearably hot all over my body, and then I had a night of fun with the princess!"
The emperor looked extremely ugly when he heard this, and sneered: "According to what you said, you are not to blame for all this. It was Changping who spiked your sobering potion, and you made a mistake in the heat of the moment? What happened after that? What? Is it possible that every time you go to the Princess Mansion, Changping forces you to go?"
Lu Hong gritted his teeth secretly, lowered his head and replied: "It's a student who is a romantic and is fascinated by beauty. No wonder the princess."
At this time, second uncle Lu Ping must not be dragged into the situation again.
He could only grit his teeth and accept this romantic debt.
After Lu Hong admitted his account, the emperor's expression didn't change. He asked coldly: "Do you know about Changping's plan to kill the consort?"
Of course I don’t know!
He was coaxed, persuaded and forced by Lu Ping to accompany Princess Changping, with the idea of perfunctory in mind. From the beginning to the end, he had no idea that Princess Changping had plans to kill her husband and then call him as her consort!
But would the emperor believe this fact?
Second uncle Lu Ping is definitely not innocent in this. If the emperor becomes angry, the entire Lu family will be destroyed!
Lu Hong's mind turned and he quickly made a decision, gritting his teeth and admitting it: "Although Her Royal Highness did not say it explicitly, she had vaguely revealed this intention. The student... was fascinated by the glory and wealth, so he did not give any words to persuade."
After saying that, he looked full of regret and self-blame, and could not kneel down: "The mistakes are all the fault of the students. It is the students' bad conduct and poor walking that have damaged the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess and also harmed her. The prince-in-law died. The student is willing to use this life to forgive his sins, and he will kill or behead him without any complaints! However, these things were committed by students, and the crime is not as bad as that of his family. I beg the emperor to have mercy and let the Lu family go.reads(); Marriage is made in heaven."
He can no longer escape this disaster and can no longer drag the Lu family into this muddy water.
……
Lu Hongchang couldn’t kneel down.
The emperor looked coldly at the handsome young man kneeling in front of him, his eyes flickering, and no one could guess what he was thinking at this time.
King Yan, who had been standing silently, finally opened his mouth and said: "Father, the matter is very clear. If it were not for this Lu Hong, the eldest sister would not have made a big mistake. How should I deal with it? Please ask Father to make a decision!"
There was undisguised hatred in his tone!
The emperor glanced at King Yan and asked calmly: "Only deal with him and let the Lu family go. Do you think this treatment is reasonable?"
King Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
He is very familiar with the emperor's temper.
At this time, his expression was unclear and his tone was uncertain, and he clearly had other plans.
The King of Yan responded as if nothing had happened: "My father is wise and makes his own decisions, but my sons and ministers dare not speak nonsense."
The emperor twitched the corners of his lips and sighed as if talking to himself: "I am indeed old, but I am not old and stupid yet. Lu Hong cannot escape the responsibility for the death of the consort, and Lu Ping also had no role in it. Use less force!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hong's heart tightened, and he kowtowed for mercy without thinking: "Please tell me from the emperor, this matter is all my fault and has nothing to do with my second uncle."
The emperor seemed not to have heard Lu Hong's begging for mercy, and looked at Prince Yan meaningfully: "This Lu Ping, he is very close to Prince Yan's palace on weekdays. He also spent a lot of effort to cling to Changping."
The heart of King Yan sank.
Just because the emperor doesn't care about these trivial matters doesn't mean he is easy to fool. Once the emperor becomes suspicious and wants to get to the bottom of it, what Lu Ping has done in private cannot be hidden from the emperor at all.
From the perspective of King Yan, he was happy to see Lu Hong being dealt with, but he did not want Lu Ping to be involved. The officials who depended on him were already unstable. One Lupin was insignificant, but it would affect the unstable people's hearts.
However, now that the emperor has opened his mouth, he can no longer protect Lu Ping!
"I didn't expect that Lu Ping would be such a shameless villain!" King Yan made a decision in an instant, with a look of indignation on his face: "It is really intolerable to have such a villain as an official in the court. . Please also ask Father to come down with us!"
Seeing King Yan acting like this, the emperor sighed secretly.
Lu Ping is the most loyal lackey under King Yan. ~IndoMTL.com~ If he dealt with Lu Ping, the officials who originally relied on King Yan would probably scatter like birds and fishes. Queen Xu and Changping encountered disasters one after another, and King Yan was already in a very difficult situation.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. No matter how cruel he was, he couldn't bear to cut off all the wings of his youngest son.
The emperor said calmly: "Lu Ping failed to discipline his nephew well, so he will be punished in the house for a month to reflect." This kind of treatment can be regarded as being held high and let go.
The hearts of Lu Hong and King Yan fell back to their original positions at the same time.
The King of Yan responded respectfully: "Father, the Holy Ming!"
Lu Hong even kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at Lu Hong again and said coldly: "As for you, I will not kill you, but will keep your life. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Changping entered Ciyun Nunnery, and in this life There will no longer be a prince-in-law. You will accompany Changping, become a monk in Bodhi Temple, copy two volumes of Buddhist scriptures every day, and pray for the dead prince-in-law." (To be continued.)
