Chapter 66. Xiao Xiao's shadow is closed and the window is closed (second watch)
Is there poisoning in the end!
Listening to His Majesty's question, the ministers were shocked. Due to his poor health, he rarely spoke loudly, and rarely scolded others, and now when he asked this kind of thing in front of the ministers, the ministers couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, and at the same time secretly glad that he was not Dongfang Yun.
Dongfang Yun reported back in a panic: "Wechen was indeed poisoned before, and it was thanks to Xiaoxiao to help the helper, and Wechen picked up his life." Su Gang Master once entered the palace for consultation, and her medical skills are obvious to all," he took a slight breath, and said, "Wechen doesn't know where this rumor came from, but for the sake of his benefactor's reputation, Wechen had to boldly defend himself in front of the emperor, and asked His Majesty to learn about it." ”
"Oh, I see, I also think this rumor is a bit ridiculous, if you can be diagnosed with poisoning if you are not poisoned, can it be that so many doctors in the Tai Hospital can't eat white rice," the emperor said with a slight smile, and he actually exposed this matter so lightly, "Since you have just recovered from a serious illness, how many days do you still need to recuperate?" ”
Dongfang Yun owes his body: "Your Majesty, Weichen is no longer in trouble." With that, he tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo didn't have any expression, and he didn't even slant the corners of his eyes. Since he returned to Beijing to report on his work, whether it was a court meeting or this kind of small meeting, he turned a blind eye to Dongfang Yun, and no matter how the other party showed goodwill, he did not pretend. When the ministers saw it, they couldn't help but feel that he was too lonely.
No wonder no one came forward to vouch for it when it was demoted.
"Since it's okay, don't think about hiding in the mansion," the emperor looked at Dongfang Yun and said coldly, "Since you are familiar with the case of Immortal Water, let's go and be a deputy to Lin Qing." But remember, you must not rely on the fact that you have taken over the case before. ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Dongfang Yun had already bowed down and said, "Weichen must do his best to assist Lord Lin in investigating this case thoroughly." ”
"What does Lin Qing think?" The Emperor asked again.
Lin Nuo said lightly: "The old minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”
Dongfang Yun's face on the side did not change, and he only made a listening attitude, as if he was very concerned about the reason for Lin Nuo's words.
Lin Nuo replied to the emperor's questioning, got up and said, "Lord Dongfang is the right person to speak. He was favored by Su Wan'er, and for her to dare to defend herself in front of His Majesty, this kind of ancient style of receiving favors from people in return was very admired. He said "admiration" in his mouth, but his face was blank, "But because of this, it is not appropriate for the Oriental adults to get involved in this case, so as not to be confined to kindness and unfairness." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The Emperor asked with a frown.
Lin Nuo said again: "The matter of fairy water has a lot to do with the Xiaoxiao Gang. The Xiaoxiao Gang has not completely cleared the suspicion, at this time, like Lord Dongfang, ah, who has received favors from others, try not to get too close, lest the fox not fight, but provoke a commotion. ”
Hearing this straightforward saying, the emperor's brows were still furrowed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it already clear in Lin Qing's recital. Have the people who helped Yongjing break the rudder have been cleared of suspicion? ”
"Yes," Lin Nuo said without changing his face, "The Yongjing rudder has been washed, as well as the Heluo rudder, Yangzhou rudder, Xuzhou rudder, especially those rudder in the hub place must be checked one by one, don't ignore it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in defending Dongfang Yun and said: "Lord Lin's words are wrong, although my friends have letters. But there is also the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the sage cloud, 'the grace inside the door covers the righteousness, and the justice outside the door cuts the grace'. Lord Dongfang is well versed in Wulun, how could he disregard the court and the saint for the sake of kindness, Lord Lin's unwarranted speculation may be inappropriate. ”
Dongfang Yun bowed to the emperor and said, "The saint leaves a message and teaches humanity." Although the minister is not talented, he can never do anything that is not a minister! ”
"The scripture of etiquette and righteousness is just human affection," Lin Nuo raised his voice slightly, "Cha'en's criminal friend, after all, it is not suitable, the unsuitable person is unjust, and His Majesty is not unavailable except for the Dongfang Lord, so the minister thinks it is inappropriate, not to mention that the rank of the Dongfang Lord is higher than that of the minister, and handling the case with the minister will only make him called a deputy, but he is actually a chief official." The old minister and he can't discuss and supplement each other, so please ......"
"What Lin Qing said is reasonable, and this matter will be discussed later," the emperor suddenly spoke, stopping Lin Nuo's statement, "Since I gave you to sit, don't stand up without moving." ”
Later, these four words fell lightly in Lin Nuo's ears, making him feel that something was wrong, but it was really unwise to argue with the emperor again, so he had to bow down and answer "yes" and then sit down again.
Dongfang Yun said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Lin is loyal to his duties and will not ignore any clues. At present, there is no conclusive evidence to prove the innocence of the Xiaoxiao Gang, and it is normal for Lord Lin to have some concerns. ”
The emperor glanced at Dongfang Yun and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Dongfang Yun replied respectfully: "As the minister said before, there is a reason for the compromise of Lord Tang, the scholar of the Zhongshu House, since he suspects the Xiaoxiao Gang, it is better to send the minister to supervise its production to ensure everything." ”
When the emperor heard this, he groaned and said, "I heard what you said...... I have indeed not been as open-minded as I have been recently, and I have listened to the order: Tang Jide, a scholar from the middle school, dared to admonish him bluntly, and gave twenty pieces of silk, twenty ends of cloth, and twenty tuns of brocade," he paused and then said, "Lu Aiqing, you don't need to be a scholar, if you have it, you will change it, and if you don't, you will be encouraged." You should discuss the method he proposed, and explain in detail what you think. With that, the emperor got up and left.
Lin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, as he expected, today's denunciation, temptation, and reflection are all for the final purpose: to send ministers to supervise the production of Xiaoxiaosan. In this battle, it was the emperor who had the upper hand.
As for the "outspoken and daring" Zhongshushe, I'm afraid he will set foot on the stage and continue his path of direct advice.
When Lin Nuo stepped out of the side hall, the sun had already turned westward, but he saw that under the ridge and cornice, the shadows overlapped, and the scene on the ground was indistinguishable.
The world is like this, there are few black and white, and more are these gray stacked in one place.
…………
Su Musha, who was outside the palace, naturally had no way of knowing what was happening inside the palace, and she didn't know that the mention of "sending ministers to supervise the production of Xiaoxiao San" had been implemented in full swing. Now she is very busy, because the vanguard of Dian Prefecture is about to arrive.
On the 8th of July, the first batch of people arrived in Yongjing.
There were not many people who arrived first, mainly to make up some manpower for Su Wan'er to call, including a few of her personal maids, and some attendants and the like. Of course, the maid in charge of personnel, Xiao Bee, sent Chuncao and Little Cucumber to serve because Su Musha also lived in the rudder, which could be regarded as an explanation to the young lady.
The steward had to count some of the assets to carry, and the brothers of the gang would escort them into Beijing, and they would naturally go slowly, and it was expected that it would take seven or eight days to arrive, which was the second batch.
As for the female dependents in the Su Mansion, it will be even more difficult to migrate, I am afraid that when all of them are gathered, it will be before the Chinese New Year.
In this regard, Su Musha expressed regret, he had come to Yongjing to hide, but he still couldn't avoid those disturbances.
