Chapter 319: Investigation
questioned loudly, Jing Zhaoyi's face was already as white as paper, and he knelt down with a plop, still shouting that the emperor was wise and the minister was wronged.
All the ministers have their own thoughts, no one has much to say, and they are all waiting for the superior to make a decision.
Zhao Xianli, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and said,
"Now that Jing Zhaoyi has been questioned, and now that the disaster situation has indeed been controlled, both sides have their own words, and they can't judge which is true or false for a while, the old minister thinks that it is better to let Jing Zhaoyi settle the victims properly, and then investigate the matter, on the one hand, it is also worthy of the people, on the other hand, it cannot tolerate any violation of the program. ”
As soon as this remark came out, some people immediately responded one after another, after all, this remark first put the people first, and secondly, it was fair and just to ask for an investigation of the two ministers, which was impartial.
However, there are always people who are not convinced, King Nancheng stood with his hands in his hands, bowed to the emperor, and slowly said,
"Lord Zhao is for the country and the people, and he should really cherish the world, but since it was said in the question, Jing Zhaoyi himself has a problem with the handling of the victims, if he is still allowed to continue and make a decision, I am afraid that it will hurt not only the majesty of the royal family, but also the real interests of the people. ”
Zhao Xianli didn't expect that the second prince, who was the least talkative on weekdays, would open his mouth, and he would shoot at him, an old minister, after all, Zhao Xianli has been officialdom for many years, and he is not in a hurry.
"What the second prince said is very thoughtful, but at the moment, what better opinion does the second prince have?"
It was a shameless thing for the old minister to be questioned, not to mention that he was still a prince with no political achievements, Zhao Xianli took retreat as advance, or kept his tolerant image first, and seemed to be sure of what would happen later.
Qi Xian's face was solemn, not emotional, and he only glanced at the prince very quickly, and then said,
"Bring people in. ”
There was really a cloth cloth outside the court, ordinary and unremarkable, at a glance, I could hardly remember my appearance, and when I entered the door of the court, I couldn't hide my nervousness and trembling.
"King Nancheng, what does this mean?"
Zhao Xianli asked quietly.
Qi Xian said without hurry,
"This person is the people who survived the fire on the outskirts of the city that the royal brother was fortunate enough to save......"
Jing Zhaoyi's face changed instantly, and it was even more ugly than Fang Cai.
Later, I listened to the man in cloth carefully tell everything he had experienced......
"What kind of medicine do you say these two princes and princes are selling......
“…… Alas, I don't understand, when will they ......"
"Shhh, be quiet, I thought that the prince would not be able to do it, and these two princes would be on the throne, who would have thought that the two of them would be like, tsk, I don't know which side to stand on. ”
As soon as the court came, the ministers were all in twos and threes, and what they discussed was not the fire in Jing Zhaoyi and the suburbs today, but the camp issue of the crown prince and the second prince, which seemed to make them really hurt their heads.
"Hey, maybe, this is the strategy of King Nancheng, I feel that this King Nancheng is not simple......"
"Be quiet, the crown prince is still reigning, but you ...... it"
"Hey, isn't that Lord Ji, Lord Ji, Lord Ji......"
"Okay, okay, that old fox, it's strange to be able to say it, wait a minute, I'll go to Lord Liu for tea." ”
……
Ji Jun couldn't calm down all the way, he seemed to have guessed something, and he had a premonition, but there were some things, he couldn't tell the emperor anymore, the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince, alas, it was not only state affairs, but also the emperor's family affairs......
Ji Jun closed his eyes in the carriage, and only spoke after a while,
"Peace, go to the outskirts of the city first. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Qi Rong was very angry, especially since these things were still happening under his nose, or the imperial capital!
Although Jing Zhaoyi was finally arrested, dereliction of duty, harm to the people, and deception of the king, it was enough to make him die, the most angry thing was that he was a fox and a fake tiger, because of a fire on the outskirts of the city, he drove away all the people on the outskirts of the city.
Those people who fled here, out of the national capital, even more displaced, the first thing they complained, of course, was Qi Rong in the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, daring to do this kind of thing, Jing Zhaoyi is hateful, but the emperor on this dragon chair is not exempt from the voice of being questioned by the people.
They have been in good weather for many years, and Daqi is also considered to be prosperous and prosperous, but all these prosperity can not offset the grievances and sufferings they have suffered once.
Qi Rong was so angry that he almost opened the book case in the study, and several officials involved knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word, and the beads of sweat on their heads exposed that they kept thinking about how to get rid of their crimes, and where else could they take care of.
They themselves still feel unlucky, they were supposed to keep to themselves, do their duty, these years the emperor has worked hard, the law is strict, overworked, they don't have the courage to do too outrageous things, who knows that this Jing Zhaoyi, taking the wrong medicine, actually had a problem at this juncture.
They will not forget the ruthlessness of the emperor's seizure of power because the emperor's policy has become lenient......
Thinking of this, the ministers secretly wiped their sweat again.
The emperor's air pressure was so low that they didn't dare to breathe.
These officials involved in the joint involvement were punished after all, no matter how severe, at least, they had the intention to cover up or did not report it, and even failed to discover Jing Zhaoyi's problem in time, they all made corresponding punishments, and for the people, it was also an explanation, and it also had a great deterrent effect on other ministers.
Qi Heng went to the Wenru Mansion in the next court, and when the emperor sent a decree to him and Qi Xian, only one of the only people left was King Nancheng, who was alone.
The emperor wanted to reward the two of them, but it turned into a pile of tea cups that were broken on the ground, and the comfort of Bao Qi just in time to arrive made a look, and let Qi Xian retreat first.
"I've always known how decadent he has been lately......"
Qi Rong seemed to quickly calm Fang Cai's anger and gently grabbed Bao Qi's hand.
"It's just that I want to give him a chance, especially this time...... Who knew that he would be so fast, even if I gave him this skill, I would not be able to block the mouths of the people, today he asked Xian'er to speak, and I could see that his heart was no longer here......"
"No matter where his heart is, he is our son, the eldest prince of the Qi family, he just took a different path from others, but he has always been a good boy, maybe he has lived up to a lot of expectations, but ......"
But what, Bao Qi didn't say anything, she only held Qi Rong's hand in the same way, and the two of them were quietly next to each other, breathing shallowly, as if their hearts had been communicating together, but no one could hear or feel it.
"That's it...... Ah Qi, I, are you old? ”
