On the day when the Queen Mother went to Changlong, Rong Jiang entered the palace early to wait, but when the group was about to get off, Rong Jiang clearly saw Wei Jinda coming from afar, from far to near, and his footsteps stopped in front of the Queen Mother's car.

She twisted her eyebrows almost invisibly, but there was a hint of relief in her eyes. I saw Wei Jin kneeling down on both knees, bowed to him, and replied to Luan Jia: "Please Queen Mother, Your Majesty Zhaogu Ninghou Taiji Hall to see you, I'm afraid that I can't go now, so I will call the slave to come back to you." ”

There was no sound in Luan Jia's house for a long time, and after about a quarter of an hour, Concubine Wei lifted the curtain and beckoned Rong Jiang to come closer, before she said in a soft voice: "You go with Wei Neichen, Your Majesty will come back soon after replying, and the master is waiting for you here." ”

Rong Jiang didn't ask much, "Why don't you go back to Ciyuan Palace", he only bowed, and then went to Taiji Hall with Wei Jin.

From the Yongding Gate where the Queen Mother Luan was driving to the Taiji Palace, it only took Rong Jiang and Wei Jin less than a quarter of an hour, and as soon as she entered the hall, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Zhao Heng's throne was hanging high, one hand was supporting his head, and his body was a little crooked on the dragon chair, and there was a smile in his eyes when he saw her come in, but he was very joking. And the civil and military courtiers are divided into two shifts, Wenchen is on the left, and the military general is on the right, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Rongji, saw that she nodded her head very slightly, and Fang stepped forward two steps to greet him.

She didn't get up, but she heard Zhao Heng ask: "Rong Qing, Zuo Du Yushi impeached your brother for murder," Zhao Heng deliberately paused, stared at Rong Jiang's raised face, saw the doubt in her eyes, and sneered and continued, "A few days ago, Rong Min made disrespectful remarks in Ruyi Building, relying on the fact that he was the Rong family to intimidate the uncle. ”

It's like an explanation, but the tone is not very good. Although Zhao Heng is an emperor who is very good at playing with power, he has always sincerely loved his wife, Empress Cao, so he is also more protective of the Cao family. Now that someone is impeaching Rong Min and the white-clothed man dares to intimidate Cao Bin, it would be strange if his tone was good.

Rong Jiang turned his head to look at the past, and he was disdainful of the appearance of the "upright and upright" of the imperial history of the upper and left. Tan Guangyuan and his people should have been promoted to the left deputy envoy of the Imperial Court last year, but he was stopped by Rong Ji on the table and he ate flowers and wine, so he held a grudge, and this time he used Rong Min's matter to embarrass the Rong family.

But when he saw Tan Guangyuan standing up, he knelt on Rong Jiang's side with his official robe, and arched his hand to him, but he asked Rong Jiang: "Dare to ask the Marquis of Gu Ning, Rong Min is in white but he is disrespectful to Uncle Shangguo, what crime should he be guilty of?" One sentence was not enough, and he added a sentence, but he said to Zhao Heng, "I heard that Rong Min is frivolous, and he has no respect for the officials of the DPRK and China who go to Ruyi Building on weekdays."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Jiang interrupted him with a sneer: "Then according to what Lord Tan said, whenever an official comes to the door, Rong Min should kneel down to greet him, is it respectful?" Without waiting for him to refute, he kowtowed to Zhao Heng, "How is Rong Min a person, Your Majesty can ask your lords." Whether he is a frivolous person or a gentle and modest gentleman, it is not a matter of talking about adults alone. ”

Zhao Heng glanced at the ministers standing in a circle, but he didn't ask questions, only looked at Rong Jiang and Tan Guangyuan, but really took up the posture of judging the case, and asked: "Then according to what Rong Qing said, Rong Min is a gentleman, and this time Tan Qing is falsely accused?" ”

Tan Guangyuan was not afraid, his face was calm and upright, and his waist was also a little straighter: "Rong Min made a threatening speech that day, and the Ruyi Lou was the private property of the first emperor Qin to give the first Guning Hou Rongzhen, and ordered the uncle to withdraw, this matter-" He deliberately turned his head to look at Rong Jiang with a delay, as if he meant something, "Rong Hou doesn't know?" ”

Rong Jiang asked him to say nothing for a while, and he also woke up, this was probably Cao Bin's bad move, using Tan Guangyuan as a knife to stab her. These words were clearly said by her that day, but in this situation, did she dare to say, "I was in Ruyi Building that day"?

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Tan Guangyuan became a little proud, and was about to ask again, when Han Fengxian, the servant of the Criminal Department, opened his mouth in a deep voice with a cold face: "Your Majesty, the minister also travels to and from the Ruyi Building on weekdays, but the person I saw Rong Min is not arrogant," he glanced at Tan Guangyuan as he spoke, as if he was very disdainful, "Since Lord Tan is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can he take revenge for personal gain?" Besides, when it comes to the word frivolity, I'm afraid that Uncle Guo can afford it more, right? Why did Uncle Cao Guo get into a lawsuit by forcibly occupying the people's daughter, but he didn't see the impeachment of the adult? ”

If no one in the court is willing to accuse Cao Bin in front of the emperor and rush into the queen, then the only one who dares to do so is Han Fengxian, for the same reason, this is the nephew of the mother of the queen mother, and a very capable person, he sat in the position of the waiter of the criminal department at a young age, and he was naturally not afraid of seeing the emperor.

It's just that he bit Cao Bin like this, but Zhan Shi Wang Ke of Zhan Shifu couldn't listen to it anymore, and immediately stepped forward to refute him: "This time I talked about the Lord to impeach Ronghou, and Han Shilang talked about him left and right, did he want to lead the 'disaster to the east'?" Then he said "oh" with a clear gesture, "I remembered, Han Shilang is a protégé of Gong Qian, so he naturally wants to exonerate Ronghou." ”

At first glance, when he heard the word excuse, Rong Jiang's face trembled and he was almost angry, but he endured it because the Son of Heaven was not good at will, and his face turned pale to Zhao Heng: "Lord Wang's words are wrong. Grandfather Chen's life was clear, even if Han Shilang was his protégé, he would never deliberately protect Chen and Rong Min," she turned around and glared at Wang Ke, "You mean to say that my grandfather acted unfairly and was not straightforward, yes or no?" ”

Wang Ke didn't really want to climb the Qian family, and he didn't have the weight to bite the Qian family in front of the Son of Heaven, but he just rushed to talk here. At that time, Wang Ke was about to speak, but Rong Ji stood outside, bowed his hand, turned to look at Wang Ke, asked calmly, and interrupted his words: "Is Gu Ninghou convicted by His Majesty at the moment?" Lord Wang used the word 'exculpation' to refer to a hereditary second-class marquis of the imperial court. ”

Zhao Heng had to argue with them, but he never spoke, and when he saw Rong Ji coming out, he waved his hand to signal them to shut up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Rong Ji and asked him: "You are Rong Min's uncle, but I want to ask you, how did you discipline your nephew in the house?" ”

Rong Jiang thought that if this person was not today, she would kill him to vent her anger right now. What are these words? didn't ask about right and wrong, and tacitly acquiesced to Tan Guangyuan's reference to "Rong Min is frivolous", and questioned her uncle in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

"The tutor in the minister's mansion has always been rigorous, and the Rong family will never be a disciple of Meng Lang," Rong Ji was not frightened or angry, he knelt down like that, and his eyes were calm and looked at Zhao Heng, "If what the adults refer to is true, Rong Min is no longer my Rong family." ”

Zhao Heng choked him for a while, his face was a little uncomfortable, he felt that he was very faceless, and when he was about to get angry, the first person on the left side of the minister moved forward and stood up, and he teased in his old voice: "The old minister has the truth, and the other has the book to play." ”

Rong Ji put his hands behind his back, quietly made a gesture to Rong Jiang, and quickly took it back. Zhao Heng said "um", sat up a little straighter, and listened to His Highness's reply.

"The old minister and the Qian family are good friends, although Rong Min is not a minister who grew up, but he also knows what kind of heart he is better than others. Although he has stubborn behavior from time to time, he is by no means a person who is arrogant and arrogant as mentioned in the imperial history," he turned around, looked at Tan Guangyuan who was kneeling on the ground, looked at it, and laughed to himself, "You said that he was reckless, I want to ask about the imperial history, Uncle Cao Guo was still able to forcibly occupy the unmarried wives of the people, where was he killed?" What's wrong? What kind of murder did Rong Min take. Second, you impeach the Marquis of Guning, not to mention that there is still a father and an uncle in Rong Min's family, that is, it is not the turn of the Marquis of Guning to be in charge of the Rong Mansion yet, it is more appropriate to talk about the imperial history than to impeach the Duke of Rongguo. ”

Who is this man? Today's first assistant cabinet minister - Zheng Yong, a scholar of Dongge University. After his questioning, Tan Guangyuan only felt sweat at the corner of his forehead, his face was pale, and he dared to refute him with confidence. Tell him to impeach Rong Guogong? It's better to ask him to take off the black yarn on his head by himself.

Zhao Heng was a little unhappy, but because Zheng Yong was a decent person and an auxiliary government of the two dynasties, it was not good to say anything. Besides, he didn't expect to talk about Guangyuan's impeachment of a four-grade imperial history, so he could do what Rong Jiang did, so he was sloppy at the moment: "With Zheng Qing as a guarantor, this matter is over, and it's too unreasonable to make such a fuss." After that, he just reprimanded Guangyuan for a few painless words, then asked everyone to get up and return to their positions, and then asked Zheng Yong again, "Zheng Qing said that he had to play secondly, so what's the matter?" ”
