Chapter 44: Death Admonition
The next day, there was a real argument in the court about the prince's case, and one side insisted that the prince connived at his subordinates to accept bribes and co-opted local officials to ignore the people, so he almost pointed at his nose and said that he was talentless, immoral, and useless.
On the other hand, they ridiculed each other, and before the judgment of Dali Temple came out, there was a villain who confirmed the crime of a country's prince, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a false accusation. What's more, maybe it's the conspiracy of these clowns.
These civil servants hugged the group and scolded the war, which was really amazing in combat effectiveness, and from time to time they would turn back a certain old story, and many people's old accounts were turned upside down.
Wei Heming and He Lan couldn't help but be glad that they had just entered the officialdom and had nothing to turn over old accounts, otherwise they were afraid that they would be as frightened as the people around them at this moment.
And the crown prince was standing in his place, very close to the dragon chair, standing silently with his head bowed, listening to the accusations of existing or trumped-up crimes, without a single argument or explanation, as if he had long been isolated from the noisy outside world.
"Enough!"
A loud shout on the dragon chair instantly silenced everyone in the court.
"Prince, do you have anything to say?" the emperor looked at his own son through the drooping of the crown, and the muscles on his face did not change in the slightest, making it impossible to see his mood.
The crown prince bowed his head and stood in a proper manner, without the majesty of a prince of a country, nor the depression of being framed, but just Mu Ran: "The son has nothing to say, let his father fall." ”
Wei Heming's head drooped slightly, and his eyes stared at his toes in a regular manner, minimizing his sense of existence.
"Last night, the queen knelt in front of the imperial study and pleaded for the prince. The emperor's voice was thick and cold, "Although I pity her for her love for her son, but as an empress, she has not even raised her parents and daughters, and she is trying to interfere in the government with the kindness of husband and wife. ”
The courtiers held their breath and waited for the final decree to be delivered.
"Whether this matter is the prince's culpability still needs to be decided after the investigation of Dali Temple. It's just that the queen really chills my heart, I ...... Intended to be abolished. ”
The last two words finally fell to the ground.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and I am afraid that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
After a while, someone finally spoke: "This is a big matter, please think twice about it." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the courtiers looked at me and persuaded the emperor to take back his fate.
Ordinary decent people, give up their wives and have to think twice, the family even rarely divorces their wives, and even shame on it, not to mention the emperor's family, and the queen is the mother of a country, and there is no big fault over the years, and now they suddenly say that they want to give up, how can the courtiers respond.
The prince, who had been silent, knelt on the ground, and finally panicked: "Since the death of the Empress Yuan, the queen mother has served her father for more than ten years, and she has been conscientious every day, and she does not dare to go beyond it slightly, and there is no merit and hard work.
The emperor sneered and said: "Your sin is to be judged by the Dali Temple, and it is not a big mistake for the Women's Temple to interfere in politics? Do you want to wait for her to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne before calling it a big mistake? The prince does not teach, is it not her big fault?"
The prince's face was pale, and he tried to defend himself, but he could not speak in any way.
The ministers retorted again.
Wei Heming looked at it with a little coldness, he had also heard about the current queen, and even had some intersections with this queen when he was a companion in his previous life.
The empress was not the emperor's wife, but she was a very humble and careful woman.
Empress Yuan was the wife of the emperor when he was the crown prince, and she was born in a family, so she was quite controlled when the emperor first ascended the throne. Because of this, soon after Empress Yuan's death, he married a daughter of the Lu family who had no family background, that is, the current queen.
At that time, the harem was full of daughters of powerful families, and the queen did not have many saints in the palace, and there was no mother's power to rely on outside the palace, which shows how difficult the life of the harem was. Even so, the queen still survived, and even gave birth to the crown prince - even if she was so careful, she couldn't withstand the emperor's momentary thoughts.
The position of the prince is said to be replaced, and the position of the queen is also said to be wasted.
Now that it is said that the prince's cowardice and incompetence are all the queen's fault, is it possible that the queen can give birth to a prince by herself?
Wei Heming felt ridiculous when he heard this.
The Chu family's cold heart and cold lungs are really innate.
Wei Heming thought about it, but he felt that it was a little unfair, after all, there was a Chu Fengge who treated him sincerely in his past life and this life, and he couldn't be killed with a rod.
When Wei Heming came back to his senses, the voice in the court was almost about to lift the roof of the main hall, and the Wen Yushi led by him was known for his outspokenness, holding a wat board in his hand and his voice was mixed, and every word poked at the emperor's heart.
He Lan stood next to Wei Heming and said in a low voice, "This is Wen Chu's father. ”
Wei Heming raised his eyes, and really found a little bit of the shadow of the beginning of Wen Yushi's face, at least the thin lips and straight nose bridge were the same, but it also made them look a little more mean than literati.
I'm afraid that the sharp and sharp words at the beginning of the text were also inherited from his father, but his overly upright temperament made him never welcome in the Guozijian - this is also inherited from his father, and Wen Yushi has no party friends in the court.
Previously, this Wen Yushi also participated in the prince's lax rule, but now he is so frankly accusing the emperor of being unjust, which is really right for the wrong person.
Wei Heming sighed lightly: "Master Wen is really orthodox, but it's just ......" is extremely humiliating, and it is extremely easy to break.
He Lan said: "Fool. ”
glanced at Wei Heming again, and added softly: "Just like you, don't hit the south wall and don't look back." ”
Wei Heming couldn't cry or laugh, Wen Yushi was a person who would rather bend than bend, but no matter how cheeky he was, he didn't feel that he had such a character as Wen Yushi, where did He Lan see it?
At this time, the two only thought that this was an episode in the court.
But I didn't want the emperor on the throne to be angry: "The queen can't follow his son, I'm afraid that I have complained a lot about me for many years, and the Lu family has relied on the prestige of the royal family, and has been tyrannical and domineering several times, but I have endured it - the people who were impeached at the beginning were angry, but now they keep saying that the queen is coming, but you are talking about what the queen promised you!"
When it comes to forming a party and running a private business, it is a little frightening, and many officials are silent.
Only Wen Yushi is still refuted: "The Jing Dynasty ruled the country by etiquette, and the saint was called the emperor because of the ritual law, if even the saint can act recklessly without obeying the ritual law, then how can the saint govern the people of the world? How can the people of the world be willing to obey the saint?"
He also said: "In the past, the Lu family ran rampant several times, and the ministers could have a way to protect them? In the case of the Lu family's children who wanted to harm Wei Jieyuan, did the ministers have favoritism? The officials have a mouth, and the turbidity is in our hearts, so why should the saint confuse the public? Impeach the Lu family because the Lu family acted presumptuously and harmed the people, but now the saint is admonished, but it is because the saint and the Lu family have done the same foolish thing!"
The emperor's face was pale when he said it, it was because he wanted to replace the prince that he abolished the queen first, but he didn't want to be scolded for this step just after the abolition, and scolded hatefully: "Shut up!
Wen Yushi still had a straight face, and said: "If the saint has a clear conscience, why should he come to block the mouth of the minister? As a speech official, I should say that the saint has no mercy for the queen's love for her son, which is called unkindness, and contrary to the old kindness, he blamed all the faults of the prince's untaught on the queen, which is called unrighteousness - unkind and unjust, does the saint still know that he is the lord of the world!"
The emperor laughed angrily: "Okay, good! I am not benevolent and unjust! I am not worthy of being the lord of the world, and I can't cure you Wen Yushi.
The courtiers knelt on the ground one after another, and said that the saint was angry.
Wei Heming lay on the ground, vaguely having a bad premonition.
Wen Yi's spine was straight: "If you want to add sin, why do you have no excuse? The Holy One can't listen to the words and say it directly, how can I Wen Yi turn against the Holy One with one hand and one pen?"
The emperor said again and again: "Do you still know that I am a saint? The ancient precept does not kill civil servants and does not punish you for their words, but it gives you so much courage! If I see if I can control you today!"
"Come on, expel Wen Yi from the court, and be punished with a rod!"
As soon as Wei Heming heard it, he knew that something was wrong, he was expelled from the court, and even scolded him in public, which was a great humiliation for civil officials, how could people like Wen Yushi endure it-
The ministers in the hall had already knelt down and asked the emperor to think twice.
Wen Yushi sneered: "Just for his own selfishness, first abolish his wife, then the cane and the official, ignore the ancestral etiquette and law, such a shameless and faint king, don't do it!"
After that, he slammed into the pillar.
Wei Heming reacted quickly and got close, and hurriedly got up to stop him, but he only grabbed the corner of Wen Yushi's official robe and tore it from Wen Yushi's body.
"Bang-"
Wen Yushi slammed into the pillar solidly, and the scarlet blood spilled little by little, staining the official robe red and spreading all over the ground.
The emperor's eyes widened, and after a while, he brushed his sleeves away.
And the court has long been in chaos.
The blood flowed to He Lan's feet, He Lan lowered his head, unable to distinguish his expression, and could only hear his voice in a low voice: "Yanguan...... The official ....... ”
Wei Heming stood in place, still holding the corner of the brocade official robe in his hand.
There was a lot of disturbance in the court, but there was no longer that clear and upright voice.
