Dusk, Xu Qi'an waited till from the palace Wei Yuan. 黄昏时,许七安等到了从宫中回来的魏渊。 The spacious luxurious carriage drives into the yamen, Wei Yuan treads the small ladder to get down from the carriage, Xu Qi'an anxiously collects, said in a low voice: „Duke Wei ....” 宽敞奢华的马车驶入衙门,魏渊踏着小梯从马车下来,许七安就巴巴的凑上去,低声道:“魏公....” Graying at the temples Wei Yuan, looked at his one eyes, walks while said: „Yu Prince wrote sealed the letter written in blood, sued Pingyuan Count and Ministry of Revenue Chief Supervising Secretary and Ministry of War High Official three people, plotted to murder the imperial family ancestor and relative.” 两鬓斑白的魏渊,看了他一眼,边走边说:“誉王写了封血书,状告平远伯、户部都给事中、兵部尚书三人,谋害皇室宗亲。” Yu Prince operation Xu Qi'an had learned from Huaiqing Princess there, nods: „Did your majesty hand over by three departments jointly checks?” 誉王的操作许七安已经从怀庆公主那里得知,点了点头:“陛下交由三司会审了？” „No!” Wei Yuan shakes the head: „Your majesty anger is not smaller than Yu Prince, he and others was so long, immediately wrote an imperial decree, asking Supervisor to enter the palace, confronted with that three face to face. At that time on the scene, court royal robes royal robes gentlemen.” “不！”魏渊摇头:“陛下的怒火不比誉王小,他等不了那么久,当即写了一道圣旨,请监正入宫,与那三位当面对峙。当时在场的,还有朝堂的衮衮诸公。” „Finally?” Xu Qi'an has known the result, but he must ask. “结果呢？”许七安已经知道结果了,但他还是要问。 Wei Yuan sighed: „Plots to murder the imperial family ancestor and relative, exterminate three generations. Considers the book then to meet at the latest tomorrow morning. Liang Clique ended.” 魏渊叹息一声:“谋害皇室宗亲,夷三族。告书最迟明早便会下来。梁党完了。” exterminate three generations .... Xu Qi'an changes countenance slightly. 夷三族....许七安微微动容。 So-called exterminate three generations, is the father three clans, mother three clans and wife three clans, can classify to capital punishment. Is next to plot rebellion exterminate nine generations. 所谓夷三族,便是父三族、母三族、妻三族,可以归类到极刑之列。仅次于谋逆的夷九族。 „Yeah, will fear the head/number of people that tomorrow must kill was billowing.” Xu Qi'an also follows to sigh, does not know to clap and cheer, regretted for these innocently involved people. “哎,明日怕是要杀的人头滚滚了。”许七安也跟着叹息一声,不知道该拍手称快,还是为那些无辜受牵连的人惋惜。 Although Pingyuan Count exterminated an entire family, but compares exterminate three generations, little said that must die again dozens over a hundred people. These in the relatives with Pingyuan Count three clan, cannot escape. 平远伯虽然被灭门了,但相比起夷三族,少说还得再死几十上百人。那些与平远伯三族之内的亲戚,一个都逃不掉。 Two also however. 其他两人亦然。 „Liang Clique?” The Xu Qi'an doubts said. “梁党？”许七安疑惑道。 Wei Yuan nods: „Liang Clique is Yu Prince withdraws from the struggle of power stage, biggest income. Is headed by Ministry of War High Official Zhang Feng and Ministry of Revenue Chief Supervising Secretary Sun Mingzhong. Pingyuan Count was last year joins Liang Clique.” 魏渊点点头:“梁党是誉王退出权力舞台的斗争中,最大的收益者。以兵部尚书张奉、户部都给事中孙鸣钟为首。平远伯是去年加入梁党的。” „Duke Wei, that my matter...” Xu Qi'an said in a low voice. The court parties, are extremely remote from him, Xu Qi'an is unwilling. “魏公,那,那我的事...”许七安低声道。朝堂党派,距离他太过遥远,许七安不甘心。 He only cares about the oneself future and poor life. 他只关心自己的前途和小命。 „It is not anxious, your majesty in the fit of temper, is mentioning this matter at this time, instead is not wonderful.” Wei Yuan shakes the head. “不急,陛下正在气头上,这时候提及此事,反而不妙。”魏渊摇头。 Is this truth .... Xu Qi'an nods, says goodbye to Wei Yuan, in the dusk afterglow, goes toward the direction line of family/home. 是这个道理....许七安点了点头,告别魏渊,在黄昏的余晖中,朝家的方向行去。 ...... ......
