Chapter Twenty-Seven: King Duan under house arrest
He stammered for a long time before he said smoothly, "Back to the emperor, about half a year ago, suddenly a wealthy businessman took a fancy to the land on the east side of Qiaoshan Mountain, and then bought it for a lot of money, saying that he wanted to open a brick kiln there. It didn't take long for the pen & fun &www.biquge.info gt; pavilion to say that they were looking for laborers, and the wages were very high, and there were many young adults like me in ten miles and eight townships. Unexpectedly, I found that it was not a brick kiln at all, but a gold mine. And everyone is only allowed to enter and not leave, let alone pass on information to the outside. You can't even have contact with people in your family. On top of that, people die every once in a while. Yes.. One night I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and accidentally overheard one, an important message. Then their people were about to kill me, and I took advantage of their inattention to injure my killers and escaped, and then I met Lord Zhou. ”
"What's the news?" Dong Ling Xingde asked the question that everyone wanted to know, saying so much nonsense, and whether it was good to say the key points.
"That's it. is what they say, who is so bold that even Duanwang's gold mine dares to intercept. After Zhang Ergou finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and stopped talking, the heavy weight has been thrown, and the rest depends on the reaction.
The corners of Dong Lingzhixuan's mouth looked at Dong Linghan who was standing on the side with a sarcastic smile. Dong Linghan didn't expect that you would actually have a time when you were poor in donkey skills, and it was really not enough to use such a clumsy method, you thought that you could bring me down in this way?
Dong Linghan didn't care when he received the sarcasm in Dong Lingzhixuan's eyes, he still replied to him with a smile, and he didn't know if he looked at it casually, the important thing was not what this person said, the important thing was whether there was a gold mine.
As soon as Zhang Ergou's words fell, a minister stood up and retorted, "Your Majesty, just based on Zhang Ergou's words, it is not enough to determine that the gold mine belongs to Duanwang, and the possibility that someone is deliberately framing him cannot be ruled out." ”
At this time, Dong Linghan also stood up, he saluted towards Dong Lingxing, and then said, "Father, Erchen thinks that King Duan will not know the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and do such a rebellious thing, I think there must be a misunderstanding, Erchen is willing to go to Qiaoshan to find out the truth of the matter, in order to return King Duan's innocence." ”
Of course, Dong Lingxu didn't want to miss such an opportunity, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, Erchen also believes that King Duan is innocent, and Erchen is also willing to go to Qiaoshan to find out the truth of the matter." ”
Dong Linghan secretly scolded Dong Lingxu in his heart for being a stupid pig, and he came to join in the fun at this time. Seeing that Dong Lingxu wanted to be in the limelight, he stepped aside with interest, as long as he could bring down the Duan Wang, what difference did it make if he went, I just hoped that Dong Lingxu could add a few more charges to him.
Dong Ling Xingde looked at Dong Ling Zhixuan, who was on the side without an excuse, and asked, "King Duan, what do you have to say?"
When Dongling Zhixuan saw the emperor asking him, he walked out slowly, as if the person they were talking about was not him.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are not afraid of crooked shadows. "It's just a simple sentence, and it's already very clear, I'm innocent, believe it or not.
Dong Ling Xingde nodded, not surprised, very good. "In that case, King Yan, immediately go to Qiaoshan to find out the truth of the matter. King Duan was temporarily detained in the court, and a decision was made after the matter was clarified. ”
This kind of result Dong Ling Zhixuan has long been prepared in his heart, after all, the imperial power is supreme, no matter whether he digs gold privately or not, Dong Ling Xingde will suspect that this completely violates his imperial power and his dignity.
After the court was dispersed, some people were happy and some were worried. Of course, Dong Lingxu went down happily and prepared to go to Qiaoshan, wanting to find the evidence of Dong Lingzhixuan's guilt as soon as possible, so that he would never have the power to turn over.
Although Dong Linghan was full of smiles, his face was solemn when he got on the horse. Cheng De asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang, King Duan is locked up, and he can't do anything." Now the fish on the chopping board is at my disposal, what is the prince worried about?"
"Dongling Zhixuan is too calm, I'm afraid that something will happen, you send someone to pay close attention to Duanwang's movements, as well as the situation on the other side of Qiaoshan. Dong Linghan said with a solemn face.
The left minister Wen Xiang and the right minister Zhang Zhongxian stepped out of the gate of the Qiankun Hall at the same time, and the two rivals looked at each other silently. It's best to stay away so you don't get blood spilled.
Li Shun helped Dongling Xingde back to the imperial study, and Dongling Xingde sighed and sat down, "You say, does that kid Zhixuan have the courage to dig gold mines privately?"
Li Shun took the fan in the maid's hand and gently fanned Dongling Xingde, which was a lot cooler with the ice cubes on the table.
"Your Majesty, King Duan has the courage to know if the slave doesn't know, this private gold mining is a big crime, and the slave doesn't dare to assert it indiscriminately. Li Shun said truthfully.
"Hmph, if he really had the courage to do that... The latter words Dong Ling Xingde did not say, but the sharpness in his eyes flashed, and there was only one word "kill".
Dong Ling Zhixuan was very cooperative and didn't lose his temper all the way, so he honestly went to the court. However, when he entered, he said to the guards who were guarding him, "Go and report to the emperor, saying that this king wants the maidservants in the palace to come and wait." ”
Dongling Zhixuan's request to the emperor agreed without any hesitation, and soon a eunuch went to Duanwangfu to announce the decree, and what he wanted to find was only the maid of the palace.
But such a big thing happened in the court, and it was about King Duan. Even if the old princess Duan is not well-informed, she knows that King Duan is under house arrest for digging gold mines.
When Princess Laoduan heard such news, she was shocked. But she immediately asked someone to help her change into a princess and princess suit, and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.
When he was ready to ask his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair, he heard the subordinates come to report, and the holy one issued an edict.
Everyone rushed to the front hall to prepare to receive the decree, and the eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to support Princess Duan, and said flatteringly, "Princess Duan doesn't need to kneel, the emperor just passed on the message." ”
"The old body listens to the parables. Princess Laoduan said with a serious face.
The eunuch said solemnly: "Pass on the emperor's edict, and order the palace maid Yan'er to enter the palace to serve King Duan immediately." The old princess doesn't have to go into the palace to ask for peace, and she can cultivate in the house with peace of mind. "This is the opportunity for the old princess to enter the palace to intercede.
The news soon spread to Linghui Building, and from the moment he received the news, Xingqi's head was clouded. She couldn't figure it out, why did Dong Lingzhixuan let him enter the palace? Shouldn't it be the calligraphy, paintings, and green berries that had been waiting for him for many years? Didn't his stepmother remind him of the private digging of gold mines? Did he make any preparations to keep his hands behind?
The calligraphy and painting and Qingqi moved quickly, and after a while, they packed two large bags, one for Xingqi and one for Dongling Zhixuan.
The two sent her to the front hall, and Princess Lao Duan sat on the main seat, with a majestic face and full of momentum.
The star diaphragm knelt respectfully in front of her.
