Chapter 906: Intended
Lin Youde was covered in cold sweat, and only hurried back, he already had his eyebrows, as well as the general result of the trial, and said that he would ask the emperor and the regent to try the case tomorrow.
As for others, Wei Mingxu was happy because of yesterday's birthday banquet, and he didn't say anything, and the early dynasty was dispersed early, and Wei Mingxu had to discuss mutual trade with the envoys of several countries.
Wei Yanxian did not go to Yikun Palace or Shoukang Palace, but came to Cining Palace for breakfast, but Wei Yanxian looked at the food on the table, some of them couldn't eat, and the Empress Dowager's condition stabilized slightly.
Now that she was chewing slowly, slowly using the japonica rice porridge, looking at Wei Yanxian, who was restless, the Empress Dowager finally sighed and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Yanxian asked, and hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager didn't see it, yesterday, more than 50 envoys from more than 50 countries came to pay homage to the regent, and the princess regent actually passed on a court dress embroidered with a phoenix! Whether it was last night or this morning, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty spoke out to participate in the performance! Moreover, in ancient times, when all countries came to the court, didn't they all worship the emperor? Where is there a reason to worship the regent!"
The Empress Dowager listened to Wei Yanxian's endless complaints, and she also frowned tightly, couldn't help but put down the bowl, and said: "It's just a piece of clothing, the bloody case caused by a name in the court has not been concluded yet, who dares to mention that dress, Liao Qing's fate is an example." Doesn't the emperor understand?"
Wei Yanxian gritted his teeth with hatred, it was okay that the Empress Dowager didn't mention this matter, as soon as he mentioned it, Wei Yanxian thought of Lin Youde's sloppiness in the early dynasty, and even said that after their trial, they found dozens of felonies in the Liao family, and they should be punished. And Li Miaosheng of the Li family, after examination, did not have conclusive evidence of guilt, saying that he was guilty and should be judged not guilty.
"I knew that the Lin family would definitely help King Jing's Mansion and exonerate Li Miaosheng, but I didn't expect that the Lin family would do it so thoroughly. On the Li family's side, they all said that the evidence was insufficient, and they couldn't find any charges. If this is the case, Li Miaosheng may really want to say that the Liao family made false accusations and let him end up innocent!"
The Empress Dowager shook her head, feeling that Wei Yanxian's focus was not very right.
The Empress Dowager felt that the Lin family had fought this battle very beautifully.
The Lin family not only favored Li Miaosheng excessively, but also suppressed the Liao family excessively. didn't save face for the Liao family at all.
In that way, it is clear that he wants to destroy the appearance of the entire Liao family.
What kind of family is the Liao family, not to mention the marriage with the Li family, that is, the concubine in the palace, the prince outside, and the prince and princess, the power in Beijing is intertwined, and it is no worse than the Wang family in Jinling.
It's just that those relatives are afraid of Wei Mingxu's coercion, and they don't want to come forward with many things.
But rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, if the Lin family has to kill the Liao family, as Li Miaosheng said, there are no disasters and no difficulties on weekdays, and they go their own way, so they will pretend that they have no contacts, but when it comes to the critical time, after all, we are the blood relatives of the family, and we will not help but pull a hand.
The Lin family is so lenient with the Li family, others must think that the Lin family is instructed by Wei Mingxu, so it is so biased, and the Lin family will provoke the long-retired Prince Yi and Wei Mingxu's confrontation.
Hmph, that's amazing.
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, just looked at Wei Yanxian and said, "What does the emperor think this matter should do?"
Wei Yanxian said: "I must not indulge Li Miaosheng, it is easy to catch him in a wrong place, besides, he is still the regent's right-hand man, there is no better chance to move him."
And the Metropolitan Procuratorate found out those bad things about the Liao family, and just one of them is enough to destroy the nine clans, and I will definitely not tolerate it!"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she only snorted coldly and said, "So the emperor plans to destroy the Liao family according to the performance of the Ducha Academy?"
Wei Yanxian felt very embarrassed in his heart because of the fact that the seventh prince of the Liao family seduced his concubine in the past, and he also hated the Liao family. At first, I was afraid of being discussed, so I endured that breath. I only hate that I can't kill the seven princes together, and at this time, there is such an opportunity, I can take revenge, and Wei Yanxian naturally can't let it go.
The Empress Dowager persuaded: "What good will it do you to kill him?"
Wei Yanxian was stunned, he really couldn't think of anything good for a while, and it was naturally not considered to kill people to vent his anger. However: "The Empress Dowager has not seen what the Liao family has done over the years, and the little Liao family has embezzled tens of millions of taels of silver from the imperial court over the years! That is enough for the imperial court to pay taxes for two years." and even used that money to buy murder, and secretly helped the Xie family raise soldiers and horses.
He assassinated many officials in the court, and even made friends with small foreign countries in private, and when his father died, he also had rebellious remarks and ambitions. Such a courtier and thief, if you don't kill it, it's not enough for the people to be angry!"
The Empress Dowager listened to Wei Yanxian's righteous indignant words, and she was alive and well as Lin Youde's copy of the court today. The Empress Dowager did not have a trace of waves on her face, and said, "So what good is it for the emperor to kill him?"
Wei Yanxian listened, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything else.
He was a little unconvinced in his heart, he was going to kill a traitorous minister, what was wrong.
The Empress Dowager said slowly: "Even if the emperor wants to kill him for the sake of national righteousness, this holy decree should not be issued by the emperor."
Behind the Liao family, it is intertwined, if you kill him, but let everyone blame the emperor, then does the emperor have the ability to bear the consequences of killing Liao Qing?
The mourning family admitted that Liao Qing was not a clean official, he had been greedy for a lot of silver over the years, and he had killed a lot of people. However, Liao Qing is indeed a capable minister. He has been in charge of the household department over the years, and the accounts of the household department have been more than half forked?
When the war was fought that year, the military salary in the northwest was insufficient, and the Liao family smashed the pot and sold iron, and took their own silver to subsidize the military of the imperial court. Over the years, he has also taken care of the household department in an orderly manner, and the court asked him for silver, no matter how difficult it was, Liao Qing could think of ways to raise it. How many people have the ability to take care of a country's accounts in an orderly manner?
Liao Qing and Lao Fourteen are just political differences. If Liao Qing was really useless, Lao Fourteen would have dismissed him from his official position a long time ago. He won't be given a vegetarian meal.
Even if this person wants to kill, he must kill it slowly, if he is forced to rush and provoke them to jump over the wall and fight back desperately, then the emperor will be finished. ”
The Empress Dowager said bitterly, and Wei Yanxian also lowered her head and listened quietly. But he never said a word, and he seemed to be still unconvinced.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager sighed: "Child, is it so easy for you to be the emperor? When you don't have the ability and prestige, you have to be low-minded and coax those ministers to do things for you, and the punishment is just for show, otherwise the courtiers will say that you are tyrannical and tyrannical, and naturally someone will come to overthrow you." ”
