Chapter 61: Party Struggle in the Court

When Xin Ran and the others were discussing in the Chen Mansion, it was also very lively in today's court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Emperor Ningzong sat on top of the Golden Palace, and the chief eunuch next to him said loudly: "Today's early dynasty, all the ministers, if there is something to do, play early, and have nothing to retreat from the court." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw the prince come out of class, knelt on the ground, and said, "Father, the son has something to play." “

Emperor Ningzong looked down and saw that it was the crown prince, so he said: "The prince is flat, something is coming." “

After the prince heard the emperor's words, he got up, gave a salute, and said: "Father Qi, some time ago, you ordered your son to supervise the country, and it happened to find out that Xue Ji, the head of the Ministry of Rites, framed Lord Chen Wenduan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and the evidence was conclusive, so he put this person in prison, but I heard that your father and the emperor ordered Xue Ji to be acquitted, I don't know why?"

Emperor Ningzong heard the prince ask about this matter, so he said to the prince: "Prince, you are indeed capable during your imprisonment in the country, and you handled Chen Aiqing's grievance case very well, but there are some things you don't know yet, according to the Prime Minister's report, this Xue Ji is just ineffective in handling the case, and he was deceived by the people below, so although he is guilty, he still works weekdays, and I pardoned him." ”

"My emperor Shengming benevolence, it is true, the prince finished the case that day, I was not in the capital, after I came back, I heard about this case, because it was related to the imperial court, so after I knew, I carefully checked it, read the relevant files, and found some suspicious points. As you all know, there are many cases to be tried in this Dali Temple, although Lord Xue is the chief official of Dali Temple, it is impossible to do everything in person, so after receiving this case, let the subordinate officials below go to investigate, as a result, these mediocre officials are sloppy, fell into the tricks of the Jin people, and reported the wrong investigation results to Lord Xue, after Lord Xue read it, because there were too many official duties, plus he hated Jin Guo on weekdays, so he immediately dealt with the case, and did not review it carefully, so Lord Xue absolutely did not mean to frame Lord Chen, and naturally he did not frame Lord Chen's guilt, but only the responsibility of negligenceShi Miyuan stood up and said.

After Shi Miyuan finished speaking, he saw Sun Jinnan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saying: "The Prime Minister's words are indeed true, and when the day was reviewed, in order to be cautious, Weichen also participated, but fortunately, thanks to the benevolence of the saint, the Prime Minister's discernment was able to be satisfactorily resolved." ”

After three days of investigation, Xin Ran Gongzi said to the prince that he personally heard Xue Ji and his wife say that it was because Lord Chen took bribes to release the prisoner privately, Xue Ji was angry and ashamed, so he took the first step and framed Lord Chen; This case has been found here, it is already human evidence, and the physical evidence is complete, it is indeed Xue Ji who plotted to kill Lord Chen, but Lord Chen and Sun Shangshu actually reversed black and white, and even said that Xue Ji was just ineffective, isn't this a sneak change of concept, saying that big things are small things, if this is the case, where is the law and discipline of the imperial court, my emperor Shengming, please judge the saint", Li Yuanyi also stood up and said.

Emperor Ningzong had been listening to a few people arguing in the court and did not express his opinion, but when he heard that Xin Ran, who he saw last time, was also involved in this case, he couldn't help but be stunned, and as soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, he asked: "Why is Xin Qiji's son also involved in this case?"

Li Yuanyi hurriedly played: "Back to Your Majesty, Xin Ran, the son of Xin Qiji, and Chen Wenduan's sister met, so they lived in Chen's Mansion after coming to Lin'an, and their parents also knew each other, so they were world friends, and when they heard that Chen Wenduan had an accident, they couldn't sit idly by." ”

"So that's the case, I have met Xin Gongzi, this person has a high opinion on governing the country, since it was investigated by Xin Gongzi, it will not be wrong", Emperor Ningzong said.

Seeing that Emperor Ningzong seemed to believe what Li Yuanyi and the crown prince said, Shi Mi hurriedly played again: " Your Majesty, this Xin Ran was also seen on the prince's birthday that day, and he was indeed very human, and the old minister also admired him very much, but according to the old minister, first, Xin Gongzi was still young, but he was afraid of lack of experience, and it was easy to fall for the golden people, and secondly, Master Li also said just now that Xin Gongzi and Lord Chen's sister were good friends, and he had been living in Chen's Mansion since he came to Lin'an, but he was afraid that in the process of acting, he would inevitably have emotional factors and favor the people in Chen's Mansion. Based on these factors, I'm afraid that what Xin Gongzi said can't be fully believed. “

When the prince heard this, he said angrily to Shi Miyuan: "Shi Miyuan, you are so bold, do you doubt the ability of this palace to handle cases, this palace knows that you and Sun Jinnan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, are in a group, and this Xue Ji is your loyal henchman, you naturally speak for him, you are so blind to Shenggong, do you want to seek to usurp the throne?"

When Shi Miyuan heard the prince say this, he pretended to be very aggrieved, and immediately knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Ningzong: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged, Weichen has always been loyal to the country, please Your Majesty will be clear." “

These people quarreled in the court like this, Emperor Ningzong couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted: "You all shut up, you are all ministers, the Golden Palace is noisy and shouting, what kind of system, so be it, this matter is like this, no one should mention it again in the future, and the violators will be punished by the law of the country." “

After Ning Zong finished speaking, he asked everyone to retreat, but let the prince stay.

After the prince waited for everyone to leave, he said to Emperor Ningzong: "Father, you are wise, today it is obviously this Shi Miyuan who is blinding you, why don't you deal with him?"

Emperor Ningzong smiled and said: "Emperor, you still owe the fire, as the saying goes, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no migration", this Shi Miyuan sometimes does some things I don't know, just turn a blind eye to myself. “

"Father, you are the king of a country, why do you tolerate Shi Miyuan being so rampant", the crown prince said to Ning Zong.

Ning Zong listened to the prince's words and said: "First, this Shi Miyuan does have the ability to do things, and if his father wants to use it, it is impossible to punish him for a trivial matter. In that case, it will be difficult to control this Shi Miyuan to be used by me. These are all imperial techniques, you have to study them well, you are still immature, and you are still far from governing the country. My father left you just to say this to you, you have to understand it well, and in the future, I can rest assured that I will entrust this great Song Dynasty to you. “

Only then did the crown prince understand his father's imperial thoughts, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The son has thanked his father for his teachings. “

When Emperor Ningzong saw the prince say this, he said, "It's good if you understand, let's stop here today, and you can step down." “

When the crown prince saw that the emperor had asked him to step down, he saluted Emperor Ningzong, and then withdrew.
