Chapter 500: Advance and Retreat
Li Zi'an and Li Miaosheng listened to the movement in the palace yesterday and went directly into the palace to discuss countermeasures with Wei Mingxu, and listened to Wei Mingxu's dispatch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zongren Mansion Zongling is not an outsider, it is Prince An Wei Mingdai, Wei Mingdai's mother is just a palace maid, and she was posthumously named a concubine until she died, but after all, he is the third son of the emperor, among the princes, he is second only to Wei Mingshan in age, and he has also made some contributions over the years and gradually became the prince.
After Wei Mingshan retired and went into hiding, he simply handed over the errand of the Zongren Mansion to Wei Mingdai. But Wei Mingdai came from a humble background, and after he got old, he became more and more blessed, he was happy all day long, and he was very easy-going with others, and he couldn't tell that he was nearly sixty at all.
He didn't take care of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion very much, and handed them over to the young left and right Zongzheng, the seventh son of Prince Yi, Wei Zhehai, and Wei Mingshun, the king of the pre-county, to take care of it.
What kind of person is Wei Mingxu, to judge him, and his princess, it is not to embarrass the dead.
Wei Zhehai and Wei Mingshun both came to ask Wei Mingdai what he meant, and Wei Mingdai said happily: "We are just co-interrogating, what do they say from the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple, we just nod." If there is anything to tell us, we will do it with all our hearts, but if we can't do it, we will return to the criminal department and say that we can't do this errand, and let them ask another master. ”
Wei Zhehai and Wei Mingshun both nodded in agreement, let's bully the soft and fear the hard, and we won't offend anyone.
And Xie Bingchu had already greeted Dali Siqing and Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the two of them were also very hesitant now, if they couldn't defeat Wei Mingxu once, they would definitely not have a good life in the future.
But in order to run for a way out, you always have to take a risk and give it a try.
The next morning, Xie Bingchu really did not bring the tiger talisman, but first talked about the crimes of Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan, and proposed to temporarily remove Wei Mingxu from the post of regent before the case was clarified.
As long as Wei Mingxu is pressed, no one will dare to compete with him for military power. After all, if it is said that the trial is mostly the responsibility of the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can only supervise from the side, so as not to let the Criminal Department play any tricks. The third division and the Zongren Mansion both have a headache about this case, and the biggest possibility is that this case will be delayed, the longer it drags on, the longer Wei Mingxu will leave the imperial court, and the more conducive it will be for Xie Bingchu to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court.
Wei Mingxu also refused to back down, saying that it was all nonsense, he promised the three divisions to interrogate, but he just wanted to clarify this matter, after all, there have been too many rumors about Princess Jing and King Jing's Mansion recently, so once and for all.
Wei Mingxu's old ministry also resolutely disagreed with Wei Mingxu's resignation, saying that the prince was seriously injured by the rumors, and he was innocently affected, even if he let the investigation be made, it was also to return the prince's innocence.
Xie Bingchu and his party fought-for-tat, and Mu Taichu also came out to say that Wei Mingxu was guilty of a felony, how could such a virtuous person stay in the court. Wei Mingxu and his party wanted to investigate Xie Bingchu for falsely accusing the prince. These two parties are in full swing. In particular, the intervention of the Mu family made Wei Mingxu's position as regent a little less stable.
Wei Mingmu didn't listen to that, he only diverted the conversation, chasing Xie Bingchu to ask for the military talisman, Xie Bingchu investigated the future ownership of the military talisman, and immediately there were soldiers who came back from the northwest to support Xie Bingchu to take charge of the military power in the future, some said Wei Mingxu, some said Wei Yingxiang, and even Wei Mingmu also asked a group of people to take advantage of the chaos to regain military power.
Wei Mingxu and Wei Yingxiang jointly put forward the theory that the Northwest Army was exhausted and dispersed for recuperation, which was quite in line with the meaning of Shangshu Zhuang Xihan of the Ministry of War. After Zhuang Xihan seconded the proposal, Wei Mingxu and the three ignored the talisman in Xie Bingchu's hand and ordered Zhuang Xihan and Prince Zhuang to discuss the method of dispersion and how to reward and punish.
However, if the generals of the Western Expedition are willing to obey orders, they will be rewarded, and the division of troops has already reached which province and state they are going to, and there is also a sense of first-come, first-served.
Some of the soldiers who supported Xie Bingchu on the face were also secretly anxious in their hearts, afraid that others would get a good share and leave the list themselves, and secretly began to go in and out of Zhuang Xihan's mansion, competing for elite troops, going to the rich provincial capital, or begging to return to their hometown to guard Yunyun.
Wei Mingxu said that since Xie Bingchu had already received the reward and agreed to return the talisman at the dust washing banquet, since he had not brought it today, Zhuang Xihan had the responsibility to go to Xie Bingchu's mansion to ask for it. In this way, Xie Bingchu is not idle.
If you want to say that you are sick and don't see it, then naturally you can't go to court, and if he doesn't show up for a long time, the people under his command will naturally be even more detached. But if it is in the court, Zhuang Xihan will follow him back to the house, which is also a dilemma.
But in any case, the talisman was dragged down by Xie Bingchu, after all, Wei Mingxu still had a case on his body, although Zhuang Xihan pressed Xie Bingchu very the surface, as if he was doing his best, but the situation was undecided, he didn't move seriously after all, in order to leave a way back for himself.
Wei Mingxu told Li Miaosheng and Li Zi'an that the case should be completed as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more gossip will be, and it is better to clarify it as soon as possible.
However, there are many implications in this case, Lin Penghai and Lin Jiahong are far away in Hangzhou, if they want to pass it on, it will take at least a month to come and go, and the second is that Lin Zhixuan is now pregnant and can't travel long distances, even the lobby of the criminal department, Lin Zhixuan can't go. None of the defendants came, and the case was difficult to trivialize.
But the Ducha Yuan and Dali Temple both forced the Criminal Department to go to get people, Li Zi'an agreed to go to Hangzhou to pass on Lin Penghai and Lin Jiahong, but Jingwangfu is a royal clan, and pushed the matter of going to Lin Zhixuan to the Zongren Mansion.
Wei Zhehai led people to go once, because Prince Yi and Wei Mingxu have always been not on good terms, Wei Zhehai's people also started harder, all the way regardless of the obstruction of the people in the palace, rushed into the inner courtyard, and almost rushed to Xijinzhai, but Wei Mingxu personally blocked it.
Wei Zhehai only argued twice in words, but he didn't dare to make it again. After all, I couldn't even see Lin Zhixuan's face. But Lin Zhixuan was not as difficult as the people from the Zongren Mansion, so she instructed Gu's mother and Xia Lan to carefully take Lin Jiahong's child to the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Concubine Cai was passed on by Dali Temple alone, saying that it was a witness.
Lin Zhixuan wanted Qiu Ju by her side very much at this time, but she couldn't rest assured that Lin Ruoxuan was there, and she didn't know how worried she would be when she heard that she was in this dangerous situation now, so she only sent people over frequently to say that it was okay.
Besides, Qiu Ju couldn't come back for a while, and there were many things that Lin Zhixuan could only tell Xia Lan.
Xia Lan was a little frightened when she heard that Lin Zhixuan had entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, she had never done such a thing, but she still responded, and according to Lin Zhixuan's instructions, she went out and sent several mothers-in-law and small servants to go with her.
Wei Mingxu naturally wanted to go in person, and Su Yu also followed closely, since Wulan was not dead, and she was back, what about Ah Ru? Is she also back? Su Yu, who had been depressed for a long time, was very excited, as if he had found half a life.
Lin Zhixuan stayed in King Jing's Mansion, and Wei Mingxu was afraid that she would be worried, so he left the news that Du Qin communicated with her in the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Sister Xin was by Lin Zhixuan's side, now Gu's mother was taken away, and so was Sister Xia Lan, those people were wearing official uniforms and holding knives, fierce and vicious, Sister Xin had been in the palace for so long, she had never seen people smiling and flattering in front of her, and she had never seen such a terrible person.
Sister Xin'er's little person also knew that something was wrong, and she followed Lin Zhixuan very obediently, not crying, not making trouble, and not looking for someone to play.
Lin Zhixuan's breakfast was so noisy that she barely moved, and when everyone went, Dongmei served a good bird's nest porridge and persuaded Lin Zhixuan to use it somewhat.
Lin Zhixuan only glanced at the Western clock on the kang table, and muttered, "I've been promoted." ”
