I am a Big Villain

263. Perverted Factory Man 14

"You said you are Yan Zhaonan's son?"

Zongzheng Qingqi hurried back to Qianqing Palace and changed into the dragon robe under the service of the palace servants. When he rushed to the front hall, most of the ministers who came after hearing the news were also there.

The man who claimed to be Yan Chu was simply bandaged and changed into clean clothes. He was kneeling and sitting in the middle of the Jinluan Palace. Only his pale face could tell what kind of torture he had experienced before.

In the court hall, the little emperor Zongzheng Qingqi always had the same mascot on display. In addition to his young age, after the ministers finished their salutes, they couldn't help but be curious and looked at the one kneeling in the center. The man asked his question.

When the entire Yan family was slaughtered, Dali Temple had to deal with the corpses. From the master to the servants, no one was more, no one was less.

The bodies of Yan Zhaonan's wife and three children were in the main hall. Could it be that the other party was Yan Zhaonan's illegitimate son raised outside?

It had been such a long time, and Yan Chu was not very young at that time, and because he had grown up in Dingfeng Pass, many ministers did not associate him with the eldest son of the Yan family when they heard the name Yan Chu.

"That's right. You said you are Yan Zhaonan's son. Is there any evidence?"

You can't run out and say that you are Yan Zhaonan's son. If a big clan can just recognize a child and come back, wouldn't it be chaos?

"This jade pendant is an heirloom of the Yan family. Everyone who is the direct descendant of the Yan family will have one in their hands. I am the eldest son of the Yan family. When our Yan family suffered an unprovoked disaster, my mother replaced me with the son of the wet nurse, and I It was hidden in the secret room by my mother."

Yan Chu left the capital for Dingfeng Pass when he was four years old. His wet nurse's family were all in the capital, so she did not go with him. Instead, she chose to stay in the Yan family's old house and work as a housekeeper. The husband of the other party was the head of a village owned by the Yan family in the suburbs. On that day, because Mrs. Yan Xiao wanted to choose a servant for her son, the wet nurse asked Mrs. Yan Xiao to do so because she had nursed Yan Chu when she was a child. In one sentence, Mrs. Yan Xiao specially asked her to go back to the villa to bring her son to the house to see her. The killers did not expect this episode. They just thought that the number of people was equal and the task was completed, and then they allowed Yan Chu to escape. A calamity passed.

All the masters and slaves who had stayed in the Yan Mansion were slaughtered, and other servants who were lucky enough to escape did not escape the treason and conspiracy charges that were framed against the Yan family later. All the servants were forced into the army and sold.

As an official slave, you can check their current location through the purchase and sale records at that time. As long as you find the village head he talks about, you can naturally tell the truth of what he said.

The other party's words were precise and he had passed the most stringent "mountain of knives" and "sea of ​​fire". Let's put aside the matter of identity for the time being.

"Captain Xiao, what do you think?"

What can I ask and how can I ask?

The other party was suing the Supreme Emperor. Although the other party was stupid and incompetent, and now he had become a toothless tiger, he was still the Supreme Emperor after all. After thinking about it, Xiao Jiuqian was the one who had to do this kind of offending thing.

"You are suing the current emperor, saying that he sent people to massacre hundreds of members of the Yan family, and falsely accused the general of Zhenguo of treason and rebellion. Is there any evidence?"

Yan Chu looked at the man kneeling underneath. The jade pendant in his hand should have been with Wan Qilan. When he left Dingfeng Pass, the elders of both parties had agreed to formally conclude the contract for them when they returned from the capital. The engagement contract, this jade pendant symbolizing Yan's direct lineage, was given to Wan Qilan by the original person as a token.

And now the man who calls himself "Yan Chu" and comes to rehabilitate the Yan family also holds this jade pendant in his hand. You can imagine who sent him.

"Yes." Under Zongzheng Qingqi's complicated gaze, the man took out a stack of paper from his arms.

Yan Chu motioned to the young eunuch standing behind him to take the stack of papers and hand them to him. After reading through them one by one, he asked the young eunuch to hand the stack of papers to the young emperor.

The courtiers were eager to see what was written on those papers.

"Everyone, my lords, please also circulate it."

Zongzheng Qingqi's face was pale and it was a little difficult to speak. He sat feebly on the dragon chair. When he met Yan Chu's eyes, his heart trembled and he made a decision.

The people all said that Xiao Chu was good and Jin Yiwei was good. Although they were afraid of Jin Yiwei's ruthlessness, they were even more afraid of Jin Yiwei's disappearance. In the eyes of the people, his father was an incompetent and ignorant emperor.

Now, despite the solid evidence, he still chooses to cover up for his father. How will Xiao Chu think of him, and how will the people of Dachang who know the truth think of him in the future.

Doesn't he want to be able to take over the power from Xiao Chu in an honest and fair manner one day and convince him? If he can't even do such a thing, why should he make the other party think that he can manage Nuo Da's country well? , he is qualified to become the emperor of the great Shang people.

Anyway, my father has already received enough infamy, and this is not the least of them.

The little eunuch distributed the stack of papers to the curious ministers. As he read through them, surprise and realization flashed across the faces of the ministers, and then they each let out a long sigh.

If this confession was not forged, then the death of the Yan family would have been unjust.

"I remember that Li Yushi was imprisoned by the Emperor three months ago. This confession..."

A minister who had remained neutral in the past stood up. He couldn't help but glance in the direction of Xiao Chu, and saw that the old man was sitting on the only chair in the court, savoring the things carefully. There was hot tea on the coffee table nearby, as if everything that happened in the court had nothing to do with him.

But Li Jinzhong was already under Yan Chu's custody. How did that man get this confession? Judging from the traces of pen and ink and the condition of the paper, this confession should have been written recently. Could it be Did Li Jinzhong know that he would be beaten to death by the Emperor, so he wrote this before being thrown into the sky prison?

But how did he know that there were still descendants of the Yan family, and how did he find the other party and give him this confession?

I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.

"Long before His Majesty suffered a stroke, Li Jinzhong's affairs had been handed over to the hands of the first-class guard Zhang Fan. Thirteen days ago, Li Jinzhong contracted cold in the prison and died suddenly."

This was the first time the courtiers heard about this matter. Previously, because of Emperor Chengqing's stroke and the succession of the new emperor, everything was busy inside and outside. Who would care about a criminal who was thrown into the sky prison.

But Li Jinzhong died suddenly. Isn't there no proof of all this?

"Your Majesty, there are still doubts in this matter. We cannot make a hasty decision. Why not let someone first find out the identity of the man who claims to be Yan Zhaonan's son." The loyal royalists stood up.

Since ancient times, it is natural for me to beat my son, but if my son rebels against me, it will be a treason.

This statement is not only applicable to ordinary people, but also to the royal family.

Especially for the sensitive status of the emperor and the emperor, the slightest disturbance will be magnified by the people's appreciation. At best, if they help the Yan family rehabilitate, people will praise the new emperor for his righteousness in annihilating relatives. At worst, it will be disobedient and unfilial. Damn Tsunadune.

When the time comes for this to be recorded in the history books, it is still unknown how future generations will comment on the new emperor.

Now that the new emperor is young and has not yet taken office, there is no need to ruin his reputation and foundation over an old case and make it more difficult to take power when the time comes.

Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, it was better to whitewash the peace, blame Li Jinzhong for everything when he was dead, and then reward the son of the Yan family with a title without real power to show the kindness of the royal family, or simply make a mistake to the end.

All in all, the Tai Huang could make mistakes, but this mistake could never be identified by the new Emperor during his reign.

Those who argued about conspiracy began to wonder if this incident was caused by Xiao Chu, because this incident was only good for him. The emperor was charged with murdering Zhongliang, and the new emperor was charged with disobedience and unfilial piety. Only he, the governor of Dongchang, was clean.

The royal family has lost its prestige. Wouldn't it be easy for him to seize the opportunity to gain another wave of power?

Before today, Zongzheng Qingqi probably thought the same way, but after today's experience and the previous warnings given to him by his mother, he can see it more clearly.

He, the emperor, is just a puppet. If Xiao Chu really can't tolerate him, he can use hundreds of ways to remove him and replace him with a more obedient and sensible clan son. There is no need to cause trouble and involve another incident. Old things come back.

"I have other evidence."

The man obviously came prepared. After hearing the courtier's doubts about the confession he handed over, he spoke slowly.

"Yan Zheng, a close associate who grew up with my father, the so-called letters about my father's collaboration with the enemy and treason that Emperor Cheng Qing found were actually forged by him based on my father's handwriting. He is the only one in the world who has That ability, as my father's personal servant, he should have died in the disaster that wiped out the family, but because of the few letters that Emperor Cheng Qing asked him to write after bribed him, he saw the clues and faked his death and left early. God had eyes and allowed me to find him."

The man's eyes passed over the courtiers and the little emperor on the dragon throne. The wound that had just been bandaged was already bleeding. He was weak and haggard, but his back was still straight, and he did not fall into the Yan family at all. The name of bravery.

"There is also the dragon robe that appeared in our Yan family. For example, the fabrics used in the dragon robe are all tribute, and the consumption of every foot and inch is recorded in the Internal Affairs Department. Our Yan family has an extra dragon robe out of thin air. , either there is a problem with the tribute satin cloth mill, or there is a problem with the Internal Affairs Office. The consumption of this kind of precious fabrics, as long as we check the records of the Internal Affairs Office and the tribute satin cloth mill twenty-three years ago, and sort out the dragon robes. With the loss, the origin of the extra dragon robe will naturally become clear. "

The man cited evidence one by one, obviously prepared.

It's just that his injuries were really serious and he obviously couldn't hold on any longer.

"Here comes Dr. Xuan Liu."

Zongzheng Qingqi bypassed Xiao Chu and ordered that the other party could not die in the Jinluan Palace. If he wanted to overturn the case for the Yan family, he, the heir of the Yan family, must live.

It happened to take advantage of this time to send someone to find out his origins and bring all the personal and material evidence he mentioned into the palace.

The extent of "Yan Chu's" injuries is unclear. After all these things are found out, his body will be able to recover 30 to 40%. Zongzheng Qingqi also wants to take this time to think carefully about what he should do.

But what's the point of speaking as a little emperor with no real power? After seeing Xiao Chu gently nodding, the chamberlain on the side helped "Yan Chu" down.

At this time in the past, the little emperor should have been angry again, but because of the stupid things the Supreme Emperor had done, he felt guilty and didn't care about it.

There are still more than ten years to go, Zongzheng Qingqi feels that he has to get used to this situation.

*****

In the dead of night, Wan Qilan went to bed to rest under the service of the palace maid. Not long after she lay down, she felt a gaze on her.

"who?"

She opened her eyes warily, and her tense limbs relaxed after seeing the person coming.

"You came."

After arranging those arrangements, she expected that the other party would come to her, but she never thought that the other party would be bold enough to talk to Yining Palace at night.

"I told you not to get involved in these things."

In the dim room, Yan Chu's figure looked even thinner. Wan Qilan's heart tightened and she couldn't help but feel worried.

"I just do what I have to do, I don't need your permission."

Wan Qilan understood him better than anyone else. No matter how a person changed, his nature would never change. How could he, such a proud person, allow the world to know that the eldest son of the Yan family had actually become a eunuch.

Therefore, his identity will become a secret between the two of them and will be sealed forever. Wan Qilan cannot persuade him about this, because for Yan Chu, if his identity is revealed, it will bring him greater pain and harm. .

This time, the man who takes Yan Chu's identity is her secret guard. The so-called secret guard is a person who lives in the shadows, cannot have his own name, cannot have his own preferences, and exists like a shadow.

She asked the other party to pretend to be Yan Chu. As long as the Yan family is rehabilitated, she will give him a name and let him go free. This is a temptation that no secret guard can resist. In addition, the secret guard has received strict training since childhood and has to endure the "mountain of knives", The training in the "sea of ​​fire" is not difficult.

At that time, "Yan Chu" will naturally disappear, and others will think that he has avenged his relatives, fulfilled his wish, and actively stayed away from the disputes in the court. This way of handling it is already the best way she can think of.

What Yan Chu wants is just justice for his relatives. Emperor Chengqing will lose his life because of this, and those who participated in these things will also pay the due price, but the others are innocent. Wan Qilan does not want Yan Chu to be lost. In hatred, the collapse of the dynasty will only harm the people. Once Yan Chu wakes up from hatred and sees the desolate country, he will be the first to regret.

This is the man of the Yan family, and they cannot change their justice from the bottom of their hearts.

Wan Qilan knew that she was not qualified to persuade him, because his relatives who died in the massacre were also innocent. Why should his innocent family members die, while the blood relatives of the Zongzheng royal family and Emperor Chengqing could live well? alive.

This is an unsolvable situation, and Wan Qilan just wants to stop everything at the most appropriate place.

"Are you doing all this because you love me?"

Yan Chu took a step forward, and the dim candle that was burning next to Wan Qilan's bed all day long shone light on the side of his face.

Handsome and flawless, for a moment, Wan Qilan seemed to have returned to the past, the most carefree age.

"If I say this is not enough, when one day Zongzheng Qingqi and I stand on opposite sides, who will you choose?" Yan Chu approached step by step, squatted down, and gently touched Wan Qilan's hand. face.

In his last life, the original person was completely crazy, probably because of Wan Qilan. She was his only obsession in life, but in the end, she still chose her son.

Wan Qilan blinked, her eyes a little moist. Before she became a mother, she could make decisions without hesitation, but there are some feelings that you can only experience after becoming a mother.

That is a piece of meat that has truly fallen from your body. There is no existence more important than him.

"Your choice is him after all." Yan Chu sighed lightly.

Even if she was hurt in her last life, if she had to do it again, what she wanted would still be her choice.

"sorry."

Wan Qilan grabbed Yan Chu's hand that was about to leave her cheek: "But Yan Chu, I can die with you."

Her love for him has long since become a habit from an obsession at the beginning. In the balance between son and lover, Wan Qilan can only choose her son, but this does not mean that her feelings for him are Fake.

The original person defeated all the men in the world, but lost to a child. Maybe what he missed at the beginning was missed in the end.

Yan Chu broke away from Wan Qilan's tight hold on his hand, stood up slowly, looked at her deeply, and then left the dormitory.

"Yan Chu!"

Wan Qilan quickly got out of bed and chased after her, not caring that she was walking barefoot on the stone tiles.

"The Queen Mother?"

The palace maid who was watching outside the house woke up when she heard the movement inside the house, and trotted in holding the palace lantern.

"The Ai family is fine. It was just a dream."

The man had long since disappeared on the other side of the window. Wan Qilan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Only she and two maids with worried faces were left in the empty bedroom. What just happened was really like... Like a dream.

She could only smell the faint smell of medicine that had not yet dissipated, and felt the traces of the other person's past.

Under the service of the palace servants, Wan Qilan wiped her feet again, then lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, maybe when she wakes up, everything she has experienced in these years is just a dream. They are still children, still living at the most carefree age.

The author has something to say: The dialogue at the end is when Dorgon asked Da Yu'er who he would choose to save if something happened to him and Fulin. When I read The Secret History of Xiaozhuang and saw Dorgon's death, I cried with tears, but In the end, Da Yuer failed to fulfill her original promise. This little story will end tomorrow.

Seeing that everyone's comments yesterday were quite intense, here are two points to explain. The first is why Wan Qilan did not directly kill the old emperor when he entered the palace but chose to give birth to a prince. This is because what the Yan family needs is redress. The old emperor died and replaced the Yan family. After taking revenge, the Yan family is still burdened with the infamy. The Yan family is still accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason and treason as recorded in the history books. The old emperor will definitely not overturn his original decision when he is in power, so the only way to rehabilitate him is to let him be rehabilitated. The new emperor is more likely to slap him in the face than the old emperor himself.

The second point is that Wan Qilan has always wanted her son to be the emperor, and she clearly stated this in Chapter 253. Or did I make a mistake in which chapter, saying that she does not want her son to be the emperor? I just flipped through it several times and couldn't find it. If there is any, please leave a message to Little Angel and I will correct it right away.

This is because she wants the new emperor to help rehabilitate the Yan family. She must listen to her. Other princes will not have this opportunity if they ascend the throne, so she must ensure that her son becomes emperor.

Wan Qilan's actions in this story are definitely not perfect, but everything here has a premise, that is, when she did these things, she thought Yan Chu was dead. At that time, Yan Chu was just a little eunuch, and Wan Qilan had no idea. She didn't know about his existence. If she knew that the other party was still alive, her behavior would definitely not be like this. It was precisely because of this that it was involved in future events. It can only be said that it was an accident of fate and fate.
