700, impeachment
Yao Keqing refused Yao Chongming's request to stop Lord Yang, Yao Chongming knew that the emperor would look for him, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, fortunately, he had already thought of countermeasures, and he was not very panicked, but when Emperor Yao asked him, "Aiqing, do you know why I announced you coming today?" At that time, Yao Chongming's heart couldn't help but "chuckle".
"I don't know!"
At this time, unless he intends to bear the guilt, he only dares to reply to these three words.
Emperor Yao was not surprised by this answer, but just threw a fold in front of him, "Take a good look at what is written on this fold!" ”
Yao Chongming picked it up and saw that it was indeed Lord Yang's fold, and most of the stones hanging in his heart fell, and he felt more at ease after reading it hastily, all of which were mentioned in Yao's house that day, in addition to Lord Yang, he did not mention anything else in the excerpt, Yao Chongming, who had already had a countermeasure, respectfully folded the fold and returned it to Emperor Yao.
Then he retorted, "What Lord Yang said in the recital is not the whole truth! ”
"Oh? Then Aiqing will tell me the truth! ”
"Regarding the matter of half of the property contract of the Hou Mansion, the minister did not know about it before, and there was no collusion with his brother to forge a fake contract, this is a matter of the minister's family, and the misunderstanding caused by the brother's suspicion has now been resolved, and it is nonsense to bully the orphans of the eldest brother!"
Emperor Yao smiled, "Oh? I see, it's Aiqing's family affair, and I'm nosy! ”
Yao Chongming plopped his head and knocked down, "The minister is terrified!" ”
As soon as his forehead touched the cold floor, another fold was dropped, and Emperor Yao's voice sounded above his head, "I don't want to mind your family affairs, but there have been countless folds of impeachment against you in the past few days, and they are all family affairs in your mouth!" See for yourself! ”
Accompanied by Emperor Yao's voice, "Boom" dropped a few more folds, Yao Chongming was so frightened that he didn't dare to pick it up, Emperor Yao pointed to De'an and said, "You read it to him!" ”
"Yes!" Father-in-law De'an picked up a piece of music casually, "Marquis Yao, listen up!" ”
Yao Chongming honestly knelt on the ground and listened to De'an's father-in-law read:
"Emperor Gaozu decreed that the concubine shall not attack the ancestral industry, only for assistance, and there will be no forgiveness for violators. However, Shengming is in the palace, but there is unscrupulous, turbid chaos, and now the Changxiang Hou Yao Chongming. Dare to list his crimes, for His Majesty to say: Chongming Ben Yao's concubine, raised by his mother, at the beginning of the fallacious for the little filial piety, small righteousness to be lucky, and adulthood, brother died, the beginning of the inheritance, followed by the dare to be a big traitor, a big evil to mess with the law. Although Chongming has the name of the father, he does not have the kindness of the father, although he has the power of the father, he has no responsibility of the father. The right to take the shoulder, the matter of encroaching on the long house, occupying the wealth of the long house, every matter is the first face to face and then decide, no matter how big or small it is, one or less violation, the evil is immediately seen, and the law of the bad ancestors is also a big crime; Since Chongming's attack on the lord, he has despised the ancestral system, and there is no distinction between concubines and concubines, and the style of taking concubines as wives has prevailed, thinking that concubines can be scarce in the master, thinking that concubines can inherit the family business, and bad the customs of the world, these two major sins are also; trampling on the orphans of the eldest brother, so that the weak girl cannot see anyone, and the world knows that there is such a person, and the youngest son cannot go to school, so that he can take the test to gain fame and disobey his father's will, these three major sins are also; He also deceived the top, embezzled to lead his actions, bribed to seek heavy profits, reversed loyalty and evil, confused right and wrong, and disrupted the discipline of the imperial court. ”
Father-in-law De'an finished reading it slowly, the sweat on Yao Chongming's forehead had dripped onto the green bricks in front of him, and seeing that Father-in-law De'an took another book to read, he hurriedly bowed his head and praised, "The minister has been raised by his biological mother since he was a child, and he knew that his biological mother was his father's concubine when he was established, but the benefactor of birth and raising did not dare to forget, he could not bear to talk about his biological mother's faults, and he did not dare to live up to his father's wishes. ”
"In this way, everything said in this excerpt is true, Aiqing, you take the concubine as your wife, take the concubine as your concubine, and ignore Gangchang, it is also true!"
"Minister...... Minister...... The minister is wronged! After all, Yao Chongming still didn't want to admit the crime of taking a concubine as his wife and concubine as his concubine, ignoring Gangchang.
"Really?" Emperor Yao said lightly as if he asked rhetorically, "Aiqing has two rooms on her shoulders, the situation at home is more complicated, how to balance the wives and concubines and children in the two rooms is very important, but what Aiqing did was unfair!" ”
......Yao Chongming didn't know what others had impeached him, and he didn't dare to distinguish at will, so he could only act in a panic.
Emperor Yao turned over Lord Yang's fold again, "This is a note of impeachment of Aiqing by an adult who claims to be an old friend of Aiqing's deceased, Aiqing has just read it, what he said is reasonable, and there are also human and material evidence, and he also said that he could confront Aiqing face to face, but Aiqing said that it was all nonsense, I was a little curious about who was true and who was false, if I summoned Lord Yang, how about Aiqing prove his innocence in front of me?" ”
"Minister......
Yao Chongming's hesitation Emperor Yao saw in his eyes, who is true and who is false, there is no longer any need to argue, so he no longer asks, but just said, "The Qi family governs the country, Aiqing can't even manage the family well, how can he govern the country?" I am so disappointed! ”
"Your Majesty...... The minister is willing to do his best for the world and die! didn't even listen to the explanation, Yao Chongming was completely uneasy at this moment, and he was busy showing his loyalty.
"Since Aiqing said that this is Aiqing's family matter, then Aiqing will gather together first, and then talk about governing the country! Let's go down! The emperor waved his hand, not taking Yao Chongming's loyalty in his eyes.
Yao Chongming looked at Emperor Yao in fear and wanted to explain again, but he was really out of words, and Emperor Yao had no intention of listening to it anymore.
Seeing that Yao Chongming was not leaving, Father-in-law De'an came to urge, "Lord Yao, please go back!" ”
Yao Chongming was helpless, retreated in fear, walked to the door, and heard that the little eunuch asked the little eunuch to go to the eldest princess's mansion to announce Song Ziqing's entry into the palace to meet him, he felt even more flustered, and hurried back in a hurry - he wanted to go back to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Miao, but because of his uneasiness, he walked too fast under his feet, and he fell down the steps without paying attention.
"Lord Yao broke his head on the stone steps in front of the hall, and the servant had already ordered someone to carry him back, and the imperial doctor said that it was no big deal, and the minion didn't dare to be careless, so the imperial doctor followed him!" Father-in-law De'an replied.
Emperor Yao didn't care much about Yao Chongming, but just said "um", if it weren't for the fact that the Changxiang Marquis Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion were related, Emperor Yao would not have taken care of these family affairs of his courtiers at all.
"The queen mother sent someone to spread the word that Yu Guifei has taken a fancy to the fourth lady of the Yao family and begs the queen to fulfill it!"
And so it was! Emperor Yao sneered, stared at the pile of impeachment notes against Yao Chongming in front of him for a long time, and suddenly said, "Very good, immediately draft a decree, I have agreed to this family business!" ”
