Chapter 383: Deprivation of rights, King Zhao was frustrated
Yao Yuan suddenly howled: "Your Highness, you are also bullying!"
Fu Rongyue and Wei Mingxi couldn't help laughing, Mei Shan was at a loss, not knowing whether to help her princess or her sweetheart.
Fu Rongyue and Wei Mingxi ignored Yao Yuan, who was wronged, and the two sat down hand in hand, and talked to themselves again.
"This time it's a big case in Beijing, I'm afraid it's going to be in front of my father's desk. Fu Rongyue smiled: "You have to be careful, don't leave any tricks!"
"The group of people who operate in the shadows are carefully selected to ensure that there is no chaos. Wei Mingxi looked confident.
Yao Yuan also smiled: "That's it, don't worry, the princess is the one I personally picked, with skills, alertness, and flexible reactions, everything is one of the best, and I can't mistake the princess and the princess." โ
Fu Rongyue nodded: "It's okay if nothing happens, and the next thing won't bother us to worry about." โ
"Zhu Qizhen is busy now. Wei Mingxi chuckled: "In the past, when Chen Yusu was still in the position of Jing Zhaoyin, he was worried about these things, everyone said that he, the parent official of the capital, was the most relaxed, after all, there were too many feet of the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Qizhen had laughed at Chen Yusu for this before, but now it is good, and let him Zhu Qizhen taste the taste of sleepless night, maybe, the next one to cry for his father and mother to beg for depreciation is him Zhu Qizhen!"
It was the first time Fu Rongyue had heard such words: "Chen Yusu came to beg you?"
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "It's not to beg me, it's to ask the ministry." โ
"I can't really see it. Fu Rongyue thought of Chen Yusu's integrity, but she really couldn't think of it.
Wei Mingxi poured her a glass of fruit wine: "There are still many things you can't think of." โ
The two clinked glasses and drank them all with a smile.
This annual banquet in the Lingwang Mansion is over, but everyone knows that a major event happened on the day of the annual banquet in the Lingwang Mansion. That night, a total of 27 families in the mansions of dignitaries and nobles went to Jingzhaoyin's mansion to prepare the case, and Zhu Qizhen visited the statistics overnight, and the 27 mansions totaled more than 200,000 taels of silver, and some treasures could not be estimated. Suddenly, this shocking case became known to everyone, even Emperor Shou.
On the tenth day of the first month, Emperor Shou specially summoned Wei Mingxi and Wei Mingyu.
He met Wei Mingxi first.
"Xi'er, something like this happened at your New Year's banquet, others will inevitably think that it has something to do with you, no matter how Zhu Qizhen investigates, you must cooperate with those who should cooperate, understand?"
Wei Mingxi said with a serious expression: "Father and emperor can rest assured, the sons and ministers can be saved." Although it has nothing to do with me, after all, it is because of me that there is such a big gap in the mansions of these important ministers, and I don't have to shirk my responsibility. Speaking of which, these old ministers have worked for the court all their lives, and they finally have these savings, but they were easily taken away by thieves, and the mood of the courtiers will not be stable. Erchen thought that if he really couldn't find it, he still needed to be appeased. Since it has something to do with the Lingwang Mansion, it is best for me to come forward to compensate. โ
Emperor Shou waved his hand: "I understand what you mean, but, it doesn't have to be like this." How much silver can they lose?"
"I heard that the more than 20 mansions add up to nearly 200,000 taels. Wei Mingxi said.
When Emperor Shou heard such a specific number for the first time, he was slightly surprised: "There are so many?"
He has always thought that these years of Qingming in the court, these important ministers are also people who he is used to, Emperor Shou boasts that he knows these people very well, some of them have always been incorruptible except for moon silver!
Emperor Shou lowered his eyes, and gradually understood in his mind that the situation had changed in the past few years!
He looked through the list and saw the first one: Mei Guogong's Mansion, his heart ached, could it be that Mei Xiangrong was also doing these despicable things behind his back? Looking back at the lost items, he felt a sudden moment, but the tightened heartstrings were loosened. The family looked over, and unconsciously, Emperor Shou's hands trembled a little, and a burst of anger rolled on his face.
Wei Mingxi listened to this question, and said lightly: "There are so many of them, and some of them are inflated, and my father doesn't have to care too much." โ
"Forget it, wait for Zhu Qizhen to investigate, and I will study it carefully. Emperor Shou put away the booklet, leaned over and said, "Xi'er, I recruited you into the palace today, just because I want something for you." ......Emperor Shou patted the bundle of books in his hand: "These books were all read when I was young, you take them back and read them carefully, and the next time you enter the palace, your father will teach you." โ
"Yes. Wei Mingxi took the book, the father and son chatted a few more words, and Emperor Shou let Wei Mingxi go down.
Soon, Emperor Shou passed Wei Mingyu in.
The two brothers met at the door of the Zhengda Guangming Palace, Wei Mingyu had a rare seriousness on his face, and his eyes were extremely cold when he looked at Wei Mingxi. In the past, he was willing to be a brother and friend with Wei Mingxi in front of others, but today he is upset and unwilling to be polite at all.
One is because of Fu Rongyue, and the other is because last night's incident is really a great loss for him.
Wei Mingyu snorted heavily, his sleeves flicked, and he passed by Wei Mingxi.
Wei Mingxi saw him enter, and after only standing outside the palace for a moment, he ordered Yao Yuan to return to the palace.
In the Zhengda Guangming Palace, Wei Mingyu immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty as soon as he entered the palace: "Father, the son is entrusted by the father to manage the Jicheng army, but he doesn't want to have such a thing last night under the supervision of the son, the son has lived up to his father's love, so he came to ask for the guilt and ask the father to punish him heavily!"
"See for yourself!" Emperor Shou had been nervous, so it was not good to have a seizure in front of Wei Mingxi, looking at Wei Mingyu's face, but he was uncontrollably angry in his heart, and with a snap, he threw the music in his hand directly from the dragon chair, and smashed it on Wei Mingyu impartially.
Wei Mingyu was smashed by the sharp corners of the recital, opened the recital, looked at the last series of numbers, his body shook unconsciously, and he was busy distinguishing: "Father, there may be a mistake in this list and the amount! Who counted it?"
"Jing Zhaoyin, Zhu Qizhen!" Emperor Shou replied impatiently.
Wei Mingyu lowered his eyes, this Jingzhao Yin Zhu Qizhen has always been soft and hard, most of his statistics will not be wrong, and when he quickly browsed it, Wei Mingyu also found that there was nothing wrong with this list. Whether it is his own people, or the people of Wei Mingyuan, the king of Qi, or even Wei Mingxi's people, there are some unrelated people involved. But looking at the names in this recital, his heart still lifted.
If these people are involved, half of his country will be in danger!
He hurriedly said: "Father, Jingzhao Yin Zhu Qizhen has always been a person who likes political achievements, seeing that the time for this inspection is coming, his term of office is about to expire, and whether he can be promoted depends on his achievements in the past two years." At this critical juncture, we must guard against false reporting of all reported cases. โ
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Emperor Shou with certainty, a frank look, and a trace of calculation flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Shou narrowed his eyes, a little confused about what Wei Mingyu meant.
Wei Mingyu said: "What is the temperament of these courtiers on weekdays, presumably the father knows better than the sons, there is no need for the sons to say more, the father should understand in his heart, whether these courtiers can get so much money in their mansions." In this case, how did these amounts come up with this amount, I'm afraid I have to ask Zhu Qizhen. โ
Emperor Shou was silent, and he was also suspicious.
Seeing him hesitate, Wei Mingyu knew that he had succeeded, and continued to make persistent efforts to say: "However, no matter whether the amount is large or not, something has happened within the jurisdiction of the son, and the son's responsibility is unshirkable, please ask my father to allow my son to assist Zhu Qizhen in jointly investigating this case, and I must give my father and these courtiers an explanation as soon as possible!"
"When something like this happens, you have to understand your own negligence. Emperor Shou knocked on the table and thought for a while, before he said: "You have to take care of this case, but you also have to avoid suspicion, since it is a fork in the annual banquet of King Ling, he has no reason to stand by and watch, and he has to contribute." In this way, I will give you half a month to concentrate on investigating this case, and in this half a month, Ji Chengjun will be handed over to King Ling to control. He is used to being in charge of the army in the northwest, and he will not be in a hurry. Once you've caught the killer, sit back in your place. โ
"Father!" Wei Mingyu was shocked when he heard this, and handed over Ji Chengjun to Wei Mingxi, wouldn't that mean that he had taken away the most important real power in his hands?
Emperor Shou rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, didn't want to hear him anymore, and waved his hand: "Okay! If you don't have Ji Chengjun, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient to act, and you will have my warrant, but if you want to employ people, King Ling will not dare to slack off. โ
After speaking, he really wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Wei Mingyu, and without waiting for Wei Mingyu to say more, he asked Xie Anyang to send him out.
Wei Mingyu stood at the door of the Zhengda Guangming Hall with Emperor Shou's handwritten book, only to feel that the world was spinning.
But overnight, how could the good Jicheng Army's temperance power be gone?
Wei Mingxi, it's Wei Mingxi again, why does Wei Mingxi always rob him of things?
Wei Mingyu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't say a word. His heart was blocked and painful, and the sky became gray, like something gnawing at his heart one by one. He stood silently for a while, anger gradually surging up, and he hated to smash his fist on the enemy's head, but unfortunately this is the palace, Xie Anyang's eyes were still staring at him not far away, he couldn't react at all, so he clenched his fists and forced himself to step down the steps of the Zhengda Guangming Hall step by step. Then, he walked faster and faster, and walked more and more urgently, and finally walked out of the palace with that gaze.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he instructed the carriage to turn the horse's head: "Go, go to the West Palace Gate, I will quietly enter the palace to see the concubine." โ
