Chapter Eighty-Five: The Second Watch
When a lazy sentence of "Admiral Qiu, what do you think" floated over at the beginning of the hundred miles.
Qiu Yebai was watching coldly from the sidelines as the two factions were arguing fiercely, and now most of the people from the original Five Princes' faction have split out, which is equivalent to openly supporting the Eight Princes.
She has to admire the ability of Baili Lingfeng, people are not here to face the turmoil, but they can control the direction of public opinion in the entire court, I don't know that after the Queen Mother Lafayette saw the ability of Baili Lingfeng this time, she was only afraid of being extremely depressed, and the five princes who patrolled the northern Xinjiang were only afraid that they would be a waste in the eyes of Lafayette, and they would lead the wolf into the room.
She was secretly pondering the current situation in her heart, and Bailichu's fluttering words instantly fell all eyes on her.
There are doubts, vigilance, and expectations in those dozens of eyes, the only thing that is the same is that those eyes are sharp and abnormal, Qiu Yebai only feels that if those eyes have substance, she is only afraid of being poked into several holes, she stepped out of the line and waved at the head, and said leisurely: "Back to Your Highness, I think what you adults say makes sense." ”
Zuo Xiaocai's general Li Mu has always been a strong-tempered person, and when he heard this, he said unceremoniously: "Hmph, Admiral Qiu is really capable, no one can be offended by this sentence, and I don't know who first participated in the Eighth Highness's book, this ability to see the wind and rudder is really powerful, and he is worthy of being the person of the celebrant supervisor." ”
Li Mu's words were yin and yang, and suddenly Zheng Jun and the others who were also in the court were also offended, Zheng Jun looked at Li Mu coldly: "Oh, General Li's words are rare, did our celebrant offend you, so that you look down on you like this?" ”
Li Mu had long heard that Zheng Jun and Qiu Yebai, the two biggest masters of the ceremonial eunuch, had a discordant relationship, but he didn't expect Zheng Jun to come to question him, he found that even the little eunuchs nearby secretly poked him with their eyes, only to remember that although the ceremonial eunuchs have declined over the years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the inner court is still under their control, and the servants around the masters are also more of their people, so he was a little ignorant, and he stiffened before saying: "I'm not talking about everyone in the celebrant eunuch, but some of the people in it, It's just scum who frames good people. ”
Zheng Jun sneeredly swept Li Mu and stopped talking.
Qiu Yebai glanced at Zheng Jun, and a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes, but then she spoke again: "Whether this official is a scum who framed others by the celebrant depends on whether this official has evidence to prove whether His Royal Highness has privately cast weapons." ”
Li Mu exchanged glances with the people of the Eight Emperors and the party on the side, and Li Mu sneered: "Admiral Qiu, what you said will not be the account books you handed over, and the shopkeeper certificates of the Mei family that you said, which can only prove that the Mei family is deeply involved in this matter, and the code words on their account books are naturally explained by their people as they want, and it is too far-fetched to take a word and say that it is the code name of the Eighth Highness." ”
Qiu Yebai looked at Li Mu, raised his eyebrows and said: "Everyone in the court says that General Li is open-minded and has no city government, but is a fierce general. ”
When Li Mu heard this, she only said that she was ridiculing herself, and sneered: "Admiral Qiu, who is this general, it's not something you can evaluate, but in addition to the evidence of framing you, you have other evidence, and it is a big crime to frame the prince." ”
After that, he also deliberately looked at Baili Chu on the dragon chair and the Queen Mother Lafayette behind the curtain on the side.
Bai Lichu rested on the armrest with one hand, held his chin and looked at Qiu Yebai with a smile, and did not speak, his fingertips traced on the gorgeous Western Spring Palace map.
I don't know why Bai Lichu's almost gentle smile made Li Mu shiver, he subconsciously lowered his head a little stiffly, not daring to look at Bai Lichu's face.
And Qiu Yebai also shuddered stiffly, also because of the beautiful smile and eyes of Baili Chu, she could only read two words from it - rippling.
Under the public, what do you want to do when you sit in that posture on the dragon chair, and send autumn waves like this, with a rippling spring look?
However, it is probably because His Royal Highness the Regent's 'amorous manners' and his 'ruthless and tyrannical' are equally famous, and the courtiers who have been serving for a long time have also been accustomed to seeing His Royal Highness the Regent ordering the killing of a certain criminal official and nine clans, and even ordering him to go up to observe the prisoners of Ling Chi, so they have all practiced the skill of immediately looking at the nose and nose and the heart, and do not look at the peerless customs of His Royal Highness the Regent.
Qiu Yebai coughed lightly, adjusted his feelings slightly, and said lightly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, as General Li said, every qiē needs evidence, since you think that those human witnesses and written evidence are not enough to prove the mastermind of this matter, then if the three evidences of human evidence, documentary evidence, and physical evidence are combined, will it be able to prove the results of this official's investigation." ”
Li Mu and the other people from the Eighth Prince's faction secretly exchanged apprehensive glances with each other again, although Li Mu was a little worried in his heart, he still had to bite the bullet and say, "What physical evidence does Admiral Qiu have?" ”
Their play today was originally a bit of a nonsense entanglement in it, but because there was news from His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, the people in the celebrant did not get any substantial evidence, and the Mingguang Palace, who really controlled the power of life and death, had a disagreement with the Queen Mother Lafayette, so he would definitely not help the other party, and might even help His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, so everyone today is desperate to expose their true colors as the Eight Kings faction and try their best, and guide the court style to the Mei family's rebellion. This Autumn Leaf White pulled the topic back with a word, is there really any evidence in this person's hands?
She looked at Li Mu's expression, a hint of gloom flashed in her bright eyes, and then she said indifferently: "In Yeshan, the official also found three huge private casting furnaces, which are enough to cast weapons to equip the four major battalions of the east, west, south, and north!" ”
When Li Mu and the others heard this, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he said contemptuously: "That private casting furnace was discovered, I am afraid it is also a further proof that the Mei family is ready to rebel, I heard that there is a Qimen Dunjia array in the mountain, but the old man once heard that the current head of the Mei family, Young Master Mei, is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and it is said that he is still the old national teacher of the year." ”
When Qiu Yebai heard this, she was instantly surprised, it was the first time she heard that Mei Su actually knew Qimen Dunjia, and she was actually related to Shingon Palace!
What is the relationship between the Queen Mother Lafayette and Mei Su?
She couldn't help but look up, but out of the corner of her eye, she found that many ministers around her obviously didn't know about it, and they couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother Lafayette behind the curtain.
The Empress Dowager Lafayette's well-maintained face behind the curtain was already blue at the moment, and she said expressionlessly: "Meisu's child grew up under the knees of the mourning family, and anyone in the world can rebel, but he can't rebel." ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was clear that Lafayette, who has always paid the most attention to 'etiquette', put aside the so-called justice and supported the Mei family.
The courtiers looked at each other a little, but they were silent for a while, just afraid that the Queen Mother Lafayette would smash the next teacup on their heads.
Only Li Mu seemed to be really a intestine to the end, and he came out coldly and said again: "I heard that the Yecheng garrison suddenly disappeared overnight, and Admiral Qiu encountered a 'gangster' attack at Mei's house that night, which is really a coincidence." ”
The courtiers listened to this series of 'revelations', and they were all stunned, Li Mu's words clearly meant that Qiu Yebai colluded with the Mei family, and he didn't know what he did in it, so that the Yecheng garrison who might know the truth 'disappeared'.
Originally, some things were chasing after the wind, but as the so-called three people become tigers, the rumors have been spread a lot, and maybe they will become the 'truth', in short, things have been put on this stage, and the Mei family is inseparable, of course...... Qiu Yebai, who represents the Queen Mother's party, was naturally also put on the stage, and the situation that seemed to be beneficial to the Queen Mother's party seemed to be reversed in an instant.
The Queen Mother's cold gaze fell on Qiu Yebai, and she could almost feel the almost poisonous gaze in the phoenix eyes that were slightly drooping because of her age after all.
It seems that Lafayette blames her for not doing well, and this conclusive crime can also be reversed by the other party, and he also dragged Mei Su into the water.
A hint of ridicule flashed in Qiu Yebai's eyes, and then she looked at Baili Chu and said: "When Xia Guan came back, because of the lack of manpower, he had already ordered someone to block Yeshan, even if someone withdrew, but after all, there would be traces left, and my subordinates begged to investigate the mountain thoroughly!" ”
Bai Li Chu looked at Qiu Yebai, Xiu Bai's fingertips gently tapped the spine, and then his gaze swept over Chaozhong and said: "Admiral Qiu is so mentioned, I don't know what everyone Aiqing thinks?" ”
The courtiers whispered, Li Mu and the others also discussed privately for a while, and he was the first to come out and agree: "Your Highness, the lower officials think that this will naturally be thoroughly investigated, but what if it can't be found?" ”
Bai Li Chu glanced at Qiu Yebai, and said with a smile: "Admiral Qiu, what if you can't find out, General Du also said that there will be a punishment for framing the royal family?" ”
When the Queen Mother Lafayette heard this, she slashed out her eyes with a knife and slashed out her eyes for a hundred miles, and she knew that this little slut had been uneasy and kind when she didn't speak at the beginning of a hundred miles.
She was a little red by Bai Lichu's gaze, what kind of tone did this guy have, how strange it sounded.
Qiu Yebai lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "If it is found out that it really has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Eighth, Weichen is not in a good position, and he is willing to accept the punishment." ”
Baili Chu's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, since Admiral Qiu has said so, then this matter is agreed, Yeshan is not far from the capital, for the sake of fairness, the palace will send people to Yeshan to search together with the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Hejian." ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department was originally the person of the Five Princes, but just now he spared no effort to stand up for the Eighth Prince, and he has already made clear his position with the Criminal Department, but Dali Siqing is named Du, and the control of the Crane Prison This is the power of the Mingguang Palace, and it is fair that the three parties have it.
Therefore, no matter who the courtiers were, they had no opinions, and even the Queen Mother Lafayette did not say much, so the matter was scheduled to be decided by the court on the morning of the third day.
But Li Mu, the thorn in the head, still said unrelentingly: "Since the Mei family may be involved, is it difficult to let them go so far, if it is found out that this case is related to them, then what if Mei Su escapes when he hears the news?" ”
The Queen Mother Lafayette finally couldn't bear to get up and slam on the case, and said angrily: "Li Mu! ”
It's just too deceitful.
However, Baili Chu shook the fan in his hand, and said coolly: "Lafayette, slow down and be angry, if you are so angry in this court, you will be so angry that you will return to the west with a whimper, I am afraid that your little Meisu will be swallowed alive by life." ”
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers of all factions habitually bowed their heads, and the autumn leaves looked at the strange scene, and their heads were so low that they couldn't wait to follow the chickens, ducks, and geese to put their heads under their armpits.
Thinking that His Royal Highness the Regent often does not give Lafayette face to make such a 'filial piety and rebellious' remarks, so that the courtiers habitually turn a deaf ear, and Lafayette finally gave up the power to listen to politics that was so easy to obtain.
The Queen Mother froze there with her chest rising and falling for a while, her face was white and blue and red, she almost forgot that every time she had to come to listen to the curtain, the little slut at the beginning of the hundred miles was open-mouthed, and every time she couldn't get off the stage, she was alive and angry!
Mama Dong wanted to cry without tears, pinched the queen mother's mouth desperately, and whispered: "Lafayette, don't be angry." ”
……
When the eunuch of the Hou Dynasty finished singing 'Something to play, nothing to retreat from', the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they all dispersed with their own ghosts, but at the same time, there were two voices at the same time that called the big celebrities in today's court discussion-
"Admiral Autumn, wait."
"Admiral Qiu, stay."
A voice was faint and cool, and a voice was gloomy and steady.
Autumn leaves looked behind him, a little funny in his heart, but he still respectfully left and right: "Lafayette, Your Highness." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Baili Chu coldly: "Admiral Qiu is on the order of the mourning family to investigate the case, the mourning family still has something to ask, what is the matter with the first child, is it possible to see that Admiral Qiu has a good appearance and wants to summon him to bed?" ”
Qiu Yebai was a little stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little, the Queen Mother Lafayette was so angry that he even scolded these words regardless of the royal face.
Baili Chu looked at the Queen Mother Lafayette, but he was not annoyed at all, only smiled gently: "What Grandmother said is that you are so old and decrepit, don't fight with your juniors, Admiral Qiu can be your grandson at his age, and the old cow will be punished by God for eating tender grass." ”
Baili Chu's words were stunned without a dirty word, his mouth was cold, and he seemed to be gossiping at home, but every word was vicious, and the knife saw blood.
The Queen Mother Lafayette's face turned white again, her body swayed, but her demeanor was still graceful, she got up with the support of Mama Dong and looked at Qiu Yebai coldly: "The mourning family is waiting for Admiral Qiu in Yongning Palace." ”
With that, she turned and gave alms.
Qiu Yebai couldn't help but admire, this royal person just tore his face and was mean to each other, and the words and phrases were hard to hear, but he could still be so graceful and elegant, it was really a skill for many years!
Baili Chuqian stepped down the steps, looked at Qiu Yebai, and his eyes were faint: "Admiral Qiu, do you know that if you can't produce evidence in the future court, but you will be punished, how do you want to be punished?" ”
Autumn leaves white feel that Baili Chu always has a bit of a spring look in his eyes, which looks like a hairy heart.
What's wrong with him?
