Chapter 188: Success in the end
Chapter 188
The hall was silent.
Emperor Zhengcang heard Zuo Idiot's words, but it was just a pause, so he walked forward.
"Your Majesty, slow down! The things in the hands of Weichen must be seen by the emperor himself! Seeing that Emperor Zhengcang ignored him, Zuo Idiot secretly gritted his teeth and knelt heavily on one knee.
"Boom."
The sound of Zuo Idiot's knee hitting the ground was extremely dull, but it was so clear in this silent hall, as if it also knocked on the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and Emperor Zhengcang.
Emperor Zhengcang paused for a moment, then turned around abruptly and stood on the edge of the high platform, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zuo Idiot and said angrily:
"Left idiot! You're not done yet!? I don't want to hold you accountable in the face of your father and mother, but you are so unforgiving? Do you have to turn this dynasty upside down today? What do you think this place is? You're just a four-grade catcher, and I really think I don't dare to do anything to you?! Do you still take me seriously?! ”
Zuo Idiot was bearing the anger of Emperor Zhengcang at this time, and he couldn't see his expression clearly when he kept his head down, and the ministers didn't dare to make a sound in shock, but they were all secretly observing Zuo Idiot.
I saw that Zuo Idiot was still kneeling on one knee, facing Emperor Zhengcang's accusation and scolding, but his waist was still straight, not shaking, giving people an unshakable momentum.
Emperor Zhengcang squinted his eyes slightly when he saw Zuo Idiot like this, and he caught a glimpse of Zuo Yuanfeng, the father of Zuo Idiot standing in the first row, and saw that General Zuo had no tendency to stand up and speak for his son even so, but just stood silently with his head down, so he couldn't help but calm the anger in his heart.
Time passed little by little in this silence that overwhelmed everyone. The figure kneeling on one knee in the center of the hall was still upright without the slightest shaking, as if silently expressing his stubbornness.
Emperor Zhengcang saw that Zuo Idiot was so stubborn, and finally sighed. turned around and walked down the high platform, but instead of walking to the inner hall, he walked to the left idiot, looked at the left idiot who bowed his head and said helplessly:
"Well, since you are so persistent, get up and speak."
"Your Majesty."
Zuo Idiot said and got up slowly, but he didn't want to kneel too violently. My knee hurt and I almost couldn't stand up.
Zuo's mother, the eldest princess of Chunyang, is the most favored and cherished sister of Emperor Zhengcang, and Zuo idiot is the only son of the eldest princess of Chunyang and the most relied on general Zuo Yuanfeng. I grew up watching it since I was a child, and Emperor Zhengcang saw that Zuo's brows were tightly wrinkled due to the pain in his knees at this time, so he also said distressedly:
"Look at you, why can't you say something well. Do you have to choose such a radical approach? Why bother hurting yourself? It's so loud. I just listened to it and felt the pain. ”
"Emperor Xie cares. This pain and what Wei Chen said cannot be compared at all. Zuo Idiot stabilized his figure, and bowed to Emperor Zhengcang again.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang had no choice but to say:
"That's it, I really can't resist you, let's say, what is it that makes you so careless that I have to see it for myself?"
Seeing Emperor Zhengcang speak like this, a big stone hanging in his heart finally settled. So Zuo Idiot turned his hand and put the thing in his hand in the palm of his hand, and said to Emperor Zhengcang:
"That's it. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”
Emperor Zhengcang looked along the palm of Zuo Idiot's hand, and when he saw it clearly, his expression was stunned, his eyes widened, but when he reacted, he snatched the small iron box in Zuo Idiot's hand, and his face was full of disbelief.
Many courtiers present, except for Zuo Yuanfeng and Dou Ba, who knew their inside story well, were all whispering quietly, and they were very puzzled and very curious about the abnormal demeanor shown by Emperor Zhengcang when he saw what Zuo idiot said.
Emperor Zhengcang stared at the familiar small iron box in his hand, the old thing had not changed, but it had changed beyond appearance, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, calm down and not let himself lose his temper in front of the courtiers, turned back to the dragon chair on the high platform behind him, and walked over step by step.
Zuo Idiot looked at the figure of Emperor Zhengcang, but the wide and straight spine suddenly gave birth to a sense of solemnity, which made Zuo Idiot sigh secretly.
It seems that what my father said, this iron box is really unusual for Emperor Zhengcang.
"Lord Xiao Zuo, I've seen this thing too, if you have anything else to say, why don't you say it all together." Emperor Zhengcang turned around and sat back on the gorgeous dragon chair, resting on the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand to support his head, but the other hand was still holding the small iron box, never put it down, nor handed it over to the attendants beside him.
Seeing this, Zuo Idiot said:
"Your Majesty, this matter has to start after Weichen arrived in Tuzhou. Not long after Weichen arrived in Tuzhou, he saw a notice posted outside the yamen of Tuzhou Mansion to execute Dou Ba, and under curiosity, he went to watch the beheading, not wanting to find out that the beheaded person was not Dou Ba, so he became suspicious. ”
When Zuo Idiot said this, he paused, glanced at your Dou Ba beside him, and then said:
Weichen was puzzled, guessing that Song Yuqiu, the governor of Tuzhou, probably knew about it a long time ago, so he sneaked into the Song Mansion late at night, but unexpectedly, in a secret room in the Song Mansion, he found a total of eight criminals, including Dou Ba, and ...... All were punished by capital punishment or exile...... Felons. ”
"Felons? Eight? ”
As soon as Zuo Idiot's words came out, it caused a sensation in the Manchurian Dynasty.
The ministers who came to participate in the court meeting today couldn't help but feel that today on this hall, it was an eye-opener, it was really a wave of unsettled waves, and the hearts of the courtiers who watched it also followed Zuo's mouth again and again, becoming up and down, and at this time, everyone was very excited.
"Lord Xiao Zuo, do you mean that these eight felons are all used by Song Yuqiu as drug testers?" Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang asked.
Zuo Idiot nodded, turned his head to look at Dou Ba again, and said:
"That's right, as the emperor said, Dou Ba and seven other felons were used to test drugs in that secret room, and they all became extremely bloodthirsty, biting each other, and extremely cruel. At that time, Wei Chen still shuddered when he thought about it. ”
Hearing this, not only Emperor Zhengcang, but also all the courtiers in the audience, and even Zuo Yuanfeng's father, Zuo Yuanfeng were stunned.
In this peaceful world, there is such a bloody thing?!
"Dou Ba, is what Lord Xiao Zuo said true?" Emperor Zhengcang suddenly asked Dou Ba at this time, and everyone present was shocked.
After hearing this, Dou Ba bowed and said:
"Back to the emperor, Lord Zuo's words are true, two years ago Song Yuqiu recommended Wang Ning to go to the north to guard, the grass people were framed and had to flee in all directions, and then unfortunately were arrested in Tuzhou, if it wasn't for Lord Zuo's help to rescue the grass people from the Song Mansion, how could the grass people have the life to wait until this regain the light of day in the name of innocence? I also hope that the emperor will be the master of the grass people. ”
Emperor Zhengcang frowned when he heard this, obviously as Zuo Idiot and they expected in advance, he was touched by the matter of 'Song Yuqiu recommended Wang Ning to serve in the north', only to see Emperor Zhengcang be silent for a moment, and actually stood up and said lightly as before:
"All the secretaries must be tired, today's court meeting is over, let's disperse."
"Yes......" Seeing this, the ministers did not dare to say more, and retired one after another.
But after turning around, he heard Emperor Zhengcang say in a faint tone:
"General, take a step slowly, Lord Xiaozuo will also stay, and go to the study with me to talk." (To be continued.) )
