Chapter 17 Above the court, the man who bears the wat
The originally lively and bustling streets have become deserted, and there is no longer the scene of busy traffic and crowds of people in the past, only a piece of silver and white, shrouding the entire capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe surrounding counties have reported the disaster: due to the continuous snowfall for more than ten days, countless houses have been crushed by the snow, people have difficulty traveling, business travel is unable to make a living, food is in short supply, and most of the livestock have frozen to death......
Emperor Yu Wenjin's desk was piled up high, he pinched his forehead that was almost bursting with pain, and waved his hand to the person seated: "Fourth, you go in person." ”
Yongwang Yu Wenrui took a step forward and said, "Obey!" In addition, Erchen was willing to give 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief. ”
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Yu Wenrui had a minister behind him who was not afraid of death and sneered: "This is what it is." His Royal Highness King Yongwang has controlled the household department and the official department over the years, and he has already made a lot of money. Taking out 100,000 taels for disaster relief not only pleases the emperor, but also earns a good reputation for His Royal Highness King Yong for himself as benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, killing two birds with one stone......"
Yu Wenrui was not surprised by such slander, but just smiled slightly, disdainful of talking to this person. Wei Dongkang frowned, coughed lowly, and before he could think about how to defend King Yong, an official behind him said loudly: "Nonsense! In front of the emperor, he is still unbelievable, and I don't know how many rebellious words and deeds to slander the royal family will be behind him! King Yong admired the emperor's grace, and for more than ten years, he was cautious and diligent, sharing worries for the emperor and solving problems for the people. Now the treasury is empty, following the floods of the Yellow River in July last year and the locust plague in the northwest in September this year, the imperial court has repeatedly opened the treasury to relieve the victims, and set up 22 resettlement centers for the victims in the suburbs of Beijing; In addition, bandits were rampant in Shanxi and thieves in Hebei, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress them many times, destroying 35 thieves' nests. Which of these pieces does not need money? No manpower? His Royal Highness the King of Shu went to Shanxi to suppress bandits for the first time, and left the reputation of 'the heroic and martial Shu king, the end of the road bandits crying', and the people welcomed him on the day he returned to Beijing...... Not to mention His Royal Highness King Yong's silent dedication, regardless of gains and losses, wholeheartedly for the king, and wholeheartedly for the people? How can his exploits be obliterated by a person like you, who is greedy for wealth and wealth, who likes to work hard and who can only use his mouth? King Yong has always been diligent and thrifty, Princess Yong is also a simple house, not suitable for luxury, Nuo Da in a Yongwang Mansion, only a few concubines, from few people, compared to the pomp of the seven small officials, there is still a little less. The most rare thing is that His Royal Highness King Yong never cares about those false names, as long as he can really contribute to the court, he has all kinds of grievances, and he refuses to say a word to defend himself......"
When he said this, Yu Wenrui raised his hand to stop him: "Master Mo, don't say it anymore......"
Master Namo fell to the ground with a thud, let out a loud cry, exchanged tears, and kowtowed again and again: "His Royal Highness King Yong, the old minister can't look past it." Do you want to continue to endure such grievances? Your Majesty! In the ambush incident in the lanes of the suburbs of Beijing, everyone was heartbroken, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu was seriously injured in the arm, and the emperor visited him in person during the recuperation period! And King Yong...... King Yong...... But he was criticized for being a concurrently Jingzhao Yin, and King Yong was ...... King Yong, he actually ......"
Yu Wenrui shouted: "In front of the Holy Lord, what kind of system is Lord Mo like this? Say no more! ”
Master Mo cried: "Weichen...... Wechen ...... It's for King Yong to feel wronged......"
On the dragon throne, Yuwen Jin shouted: "Bastard! As an important minister of the imperial court, what is Mo Qing doing? What grievances does King Yong have? You take your time. ”
Master Mo no longer howled, and sobbed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the daughter of the old minister, even the old minister wouldn't know that King Yong was seriously injured that night to protect the King ......of Shu."
For a while, the hall exploded, and the ministers talked about it, and no one had heard of King Yong's injury......
Yu Wenrui smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, Lord Mo, this king is already in the way, why are you mentioning this......"
Emperor Yu Wenjin frowned and said, "Fourth, you were not in the car that night, I heard that you arrived after the fact, and your soldiers and horses quickly expelled the assassins." When did you get hurt? Why did you never mention it after you were injured? ”
Master Mo shouted: "Your Majesty, this is the preciousness of King Yong, because of the emperor's rebuke, people with hearts took the opportunity to fall into the well and blame His Royal Highness King Yong for dereliction of duty." In order not to disappoint the emperor, but also to vent his anger to the frightened His Royal Highness the King of Shu, King Yong just hastily tied up his wounds. With his wounds still bleeding, he began to run around to find out what the rest of the Assassins were doing. In the prison of the Criminal Department, there were several blood stains on the case where King Yong drank tea, I thought it was splashed on it when he tortured the prisoner, but who knows, it was King Yong's own blood! The emperor, the emperor Mingjian, King Yong is so virtuous, is he the kind of dirty villain in the mouth of Lord Cao, greedy for money? King Yong is the fourth son of the emperor, the only concubine of the first queen, how can he let the courtiers insult him? Weichen invited the saint to severely punish Cao Jifan, and the majesty of the heavenly family! ”
After that, he raised his arms and bowed his head, and fell to the ground.
Wei Dongkang and other ministers of King Yong immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "I beg the Holy Lord to severely punish Cao Jifan and uphold the majesty of the heavenly family!" ”
Yu Wen Jin beckoned to Yu Wen Rui: "Fourth, come here." ”
Yu Wenrui stepped forward, knelt at his father's feet and said: "Father, Lord Cao, the old ministers of the two dynasties, lost his words for a while, and asked my father to open the net and spare him this time!" ”
Yuwen Jin didn't answer, just stared at his face, and said in a low voice: "Where are you injured?" Healed now? ”
Yu Wenrui said with a smile: "Father Xie cares, and his son is fine, and he has already recovered." ”
"Where's the wound?" Yu Wenjin asked quite carefully, obviously he had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured......
Yu Wenrui couldn't, so he had to loosen his clothes, revealing several hideous and terrible scars on his chest......
Yuwen Jin didn't expect him to be so seriously injured, compared to it, the injury on the arm of Yuwen Wei, the king of Shu, was simply not worth mentioning.
"You kid ......" Yuwen was about to blame, thinking of the grievances he had suffered, he couldn't say a word.
Master Mo said loudly: "Holy Mingjian, what Wei Chen said is true!" Cao Jifan has spoken disrespectfully many times, and his face is like this in front of the saint, and he has repeatedly provoked and despised His Royal Highness King Yong in private, intending to frame and blame him. His intentions are sinister, audacious, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and he is incompetent, please ask the emperor to severely punish this person to show his authority! ”
Yu Wenrui straightened his clothes, turned around and said: "Everyone is unhappy for this king, and this king is grateful, but Lord Cao has always been loyal to his father and emperor, and he has contributed to the society, how can he erase the merits of the virtuous minister because this king is humiliated alone?" ”
At this time, Yu Wenrui pleaded for him, he smiled coldly and scolded loudly: "I, how can Cao Mou need a sinister villain like you who has no father and no king to say good things for Cao?" Cao's words are true, and the emperor will never listen to you and other gossip to confuse the public......"
Yu Wenjin was more and more troubled by these people's quarrels, and he shouted: "One by one, should they all be dead?" ”
Immediately, the Manchu officials were silent.
Suddenly, one person stood up with a wat in his hand, came out of the crowd, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." Weichen has a scroll in his hand, which records that a certain court official forcibly requisitioned a private house and expanded his mansion in a certain year and month. In another year and month, this official embezzled public funds to redeem herself for the girl who leaned on the top brand of the Red Mansion and hid in the outer house. In a certain year and month, this person connived at his wife and beat the maid to death, and the maid's family sued the government, and this person killed all six relatives in the maid's family overnight......"
"Who, so lawless? Zheng Jingming, you say! Yu Wenjin's eyes widened, and he couldn't listen to it.
"This person is none other than Master Cho Ki-fan!" Zheng Jingming bowed down and said, "Please ask the saint, Weichen proposes to impeach Cao Jifan!" ”
All of a sudden, the hall was in chaos like a street market.
After a while, Wei Dongkang came out with a wat and said: "The minister seconded the proposal to impeach Cao Jifan!" ”
"The minister seconded the ......"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground. The rest of the people were all in close contact with Cao Jifan, and they didn't say a word at this time, they all lowered their heads, and they couldn't hide themselves.
Who is Zheng Jingming? The prince of the town of the country. The person he came forward to impeach must be full of evil and unforgivable!
At this time, Yu Wenrui no longer opened his mouth to intercede for Cao Jifan, he pursed his lips tightly, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Jingming.
The most elite troops in Gyeonggi were held in the hands of the Jinguo Gong, and the soldiers and horses guarding the emperor inside and outside the imperial city were all deployed by the Zhenguo Gong. His eldest grandson, Zheng Jingming, why should he help himself? Yu Wenrui couldn't figure it out......
Yu Wenjin, who was on the dragon throne, got up, put his hands behind his back, ignored Cao Jifan, who was shouting wronged, and said slowly: "The criminal minister Cao Jifan despises the royal family and is disloyal to the ministers. Forcibly expropriating people's land is unkind to officials. To disregard human life is to be unrighteous for the Lord. Immediately remove the official position and escort to the prison! ”
In the shouting of Cao Jifan, who was dragged away, all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”
Yuwen Jin said again: "King Yong is benevolent and righteous, Minhui is diligent, filial piety to the monarch's father, compassion for the people, and I am willing to give 100,000 taels of silver to help the victims, I am very relieved!" Yu Wenrui, the king of Yong, was specially appointed as a special envoy of the imperial court, and went to the counties in the north of the city to provide disaster relief on behalf of me. ”
Yu Wenrui knelt down and bowed: "The son obeys the order!" ”
Zheng Jingming's carriage walked slowly on the snow, the snow road was very slippery, and there were few people on the street at this time, and he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car. Hearing the sound of carriages and horses marching behind him, he smiled slightly and opened his eyes.
The golden-roofed unicorn car that King Yong was riding was galloping like flying, not affected by the slippery snow road at all, and soon joined Zheng Jingming's carriage.
Yu Wenrui smiled: "Shizi, please stay!" ”
Zheng Jingming lifted the curtain and said in a fuss: "His Royal Highness King Yong? ”
Yu Wenrui said with a smile: "The prince has always been busy, and he has not had time to enter the palace at the invitation of this king, if there is nothing else to do today, why not let this king do his best, invite the prince to drink a glass of water and wine, and go to the cold?" ”
Zheng Jingming smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare." Jing Ming has admiration for King Yong in the morning, and since the prince will not give up, it is natural that Jing Ming should set up a banquet to entertain King Yong! ”
Yu Wenrui smiled and said: "That is the case, the news of this king and the other princes." The king has to go back to his house to prepare for disaster relief, so don't leave it at that. ”
Zheng Jingming hurriedly dismounted, stood respectfully on the ground, and watched King Yong leave.
When he turned around, he saw a black-clothed warrior gesturing to him on the corner of the street, and he chuckled, "Grandfather is still the same temperament, and he can't wait for a moment." Everything I do today is not for me, let alone for the Zheng family. That man had a plan, and we were all his pawns. Hehe, it's just a chess piece......"
