Chapter 187: Questioning

Yu Wenhong only met Cui Ying in the morning of the next day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The atmosphere in the court has been very bad recently, and everyone knows that the emperor has been very unpleasant to the Cui family recently, so he first tied up Cui Mian to make his sister angry, but it led to the impeachment of many people against the Cui family.

Based on this, the ministers felt that it was not surprising that the emperor did not see Cui Jue, the uncle of the country who had just defeated Goguryeo's triumphant return to the dynasty, yesterday.

When Yu Wenhong saw Cui Jue, he didn't point his nose and scold, his face was expressionless as usual, and he said in a slightly cold voice: "Ning Guogong defeated Goguryeo, and now he has returned triumphantly, which is really hard work." ”

Cui Jue stood out in a group of ministers, knelt down, and said to Yu Wenhong: "The minister does not dare to take credit, it is the duty of the minister to guard the border pass." ”

Yu Wenhong looked at him and said lightly on his face: "Yes." ”

Then he looked away, and said casually: "In the past few days when Ning Guogong has not been in the court, a lot of things have happened in the court. However, there are a few excerpts that mention the Cui family, and since Guogong has returned to Beijing, I will show it to Aiqing. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few folds piled up on the table, put them next to him, and then gave Wan Smug next to him a look.

Wan nodded proudly, then walked down with the fold on the table and handed it to Cui Jue, who was kneeling on the ground.

Cui Ying opened it and looked at it, and the top one of the folds was the matter of King Qinghe's impeachment of Cui's furniture for making weapons. The rest is also an excerpt of the impeachment of the Cui family.

After Cui Jue saw it, he looked frightened and frightened, prostrate down, and said: "Your Majesty, framed, this must be someone framing the minister and the Cui family, asking the emperor to investigate." ”

An Guohou, who was standing in the hall, listened, and hurriedly came out and knelt next to Ning Guogong, echoing his brother and said: "Your Majesty, the Cui family will never dare to do anything outside the laws of the Great Zhou, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”

Yu Wenhong let out an "oh" and said, "Ning Guogong, An Guohou, it seems that your Cui family is not very popular, so many people, all want to frame you." As he spoke, he patted the two piles of folds that were still piled up on the table, and said, "These are all folds to impeach your Cui family." ”

Ning Guogong raised his head, looked at Yu Wenhong, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "Your Majesty, thanks to the emperor's grace, the Cui family is now rich." The ministers and the Cui family did not dare to say what credit they had to the emperor to the Great Zhou, but they were loyal to the emperor. ”

Yu Wenhong smiled and said, "What are the two Aiqing so nervous about, I didn't say I didn't believe you." You two are the brothers of the Queen Mother, and you should shout uncle, you are relatives of the emperor, I naturally believe you, so I haven't read any of these excerpts. ”

Ning Guogong and An Guohou quietly glanced at each other, not knowing what Yu Wenhong wanted to think.

Then I heard Yu Wenhong say: "After the two Aiqing are the founding heroes, they are the elders of the two dynasties, they have assisted the first emperor, and they have contributed to the court, and I will not forget them." Didn't even Cui Mian say in front of the eldest princess, if there is no Cui family in this world, my Yuwen family will not be able to sit in this world. , the world of the Yuwen family is all let by your Cui family. In this way, your Cui family is not only a hero, but also a benefactor of my Yuwen family. ”

The civil and military officials in the palace, you look at me and I look at you, and they all feel that this is the emperor preparing to attack the Yuwen family. There are officials who are close to the Cui family, and they are hesitating whether to ask for a favor for the Cui family, and those ministers who are not used to the Cui family are thinking about whether to follow the emperor's words and visit the Cui family for a few more copies.

At this time, An Guohou was the first to prostrate and said in fear: "The child is arrogant, the crime deserves death, and the ministers have no way to teach their children, please ask the emperor to surrender the crime." ”

Ning Guogong also followed: "Emperor Gaozu has the talent to help the world, and at the time of the great chaos in the world, he recruited the talents of the world, founded the Great Zhou, and established immortality. Whether it is Emperor Gaozu or the emperor, they are all adhering to the will of heaven and the son of heaven. The ancestors of the Cui family were fortunate to be appreciated by Emperor Gaozu, followed Emperor Gaozu to compete in the world, and finally had today's wealth, all of which were the kindness of Emperor Gaozu and the emperor. The ministers and the Cui family would never dare to have such delusions. ”

Yu Wenhong snorted and said, "Don't you dare the Cui family? ”

Ning Guogong kowtowed heavily and stopped talking.

Yu Wenhong asked again: "I will ask the two Aiqing again, what should I do if I am disrespectful to the princess and beat the princess?"

An Guohou was ruthless, and simply came to advance and retreat, and said: "If you commit the following crimes, you should be beheaded according to the rules." ”

Yu Wenhong said: "Is An Guohou really willing?"

An Guohou said: "Minister, minister......" As a result, the "minister" said twice, but he couldn't speak, his eyes were red, and he looked ashamed, and said: "As a prince, the minister should lead by example, but he didn't expect the teaching office to be so disdainful of the rebel, not only dare to beat the princess, but even speak falsely, it is really a crime that deserves death...... Then the old tears rose, paused, and continued: "Although the minister only has this one son-in-law, he does not dare to cover it, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Yu Wenhong sneered in his heart and said, "An Guohou is really selfless. ”

Then some ministers close to the Cui family came out to intercede, saying: "Your Majesty, although it was wrong for the prince of Anguo to beat the eldest princess of Xunyang, it was inevitable that there would be a quarrel between the husband and wife, not to mention that the eldest princess of Xunyang was not seriously injured. For the sake of the queen mother and the queen mother, as well as Ning Guogong's outstanding military exploits, the emperor might as well spare the prince of Anguo. When An Guohou goes back, he will definitely teach the prince of An Guohou strictly. ”

Yu Wenhong didn't look at it and didn't speak, until he heard them talk about the same thing at a glance, then he looked at Ning Guogong and An Guohou and said: "It seems that I was wrong just now, the two Aiqing are not unpopular, but they are very good." ”

The ministers listened, looked at each other, and then the pleading voices stopped, and then did not dare to speak again.

Ning Guogong and An Guohou didn't speak, but their faces were inevitably a little annoyed when they lowered their heads.

This emperor is yin and yang, and he is indeed deliberately embarrassing them. But they couldn't refute it.

Yu Wenhong said again: "I didn't say it just now, but I forgot." As he spoke, he looked at Ning Guogong and continued: "Ning Guogong, you defeated Goguryeo in Liaodong and made great contributions, and you should be rewarded as usual. I have clear rewards and punishments, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded, and those who should be punished should be punished. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Ning Guo said fairly: "Guarding the land is the duty of the minister, and he does not dare to be rewarded." ”

Yu Wenhong said: "Let's talk about it, so as not to make people think that I am the emperor mean and unkind." ”

Ning Guogong paused for a moment, and then said: "If the emperor really wants a reward, then ask the emperor to spare his nephew Cui Mian." Although Cui Mian made a big mistake, after all, the Cui family is bloodline, and he is the brother of the queen's mother, please show mercy to the emperor and spare his life. ”
