Chapter 14 The Appearance of Guilt
Every morning, when she went to the court, Song Weiyan basically had the final say, and the other ministers either responded only to promises, or dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Someone once compared Song Weiyan's court like this: "This is the slaughterhouse of Lord Tianxiang, who rules the entire court with absolute violence and absolute cold-bloodedness." ”
Later, Song Weiyan asked Emperor Rui to count the beads on the crown, so that Emperor Rui could sit on the dragon chair in peace until the end of the early dynasty.
Originally, this time would also be an early dynasty that ended soon, and Song Weiyan dealt with all the court accidents according to her own thinking and her own arrangements. According to the general process, after Song Weiyan has finished dealing with it, it is time to retire from the court, and then, Song Weiyan will go to the harem to deal with some chores, and then return to the palace at night.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Song Weiyan faced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and her eyes were cold as if there was ice in them that would not melt for thousands of years.
"The minister has something important to do." A petty official standing at the end stood up, "The minister wants to play." ”
"Oh. What is the content? Song Weiyan asked.
"Lord Tianxiang is like this, but he is acting on his behalf, the emperor has not spoken yet, why did Lord Tianxiang rush to speak,. Could it be that the Song family's generation of Bai Ze Heavenly Appearance has taught such a Heavenly Appearance? The petty official sneered at each other, and the words smelled of gunpowder, which was the first time after Song Weiyan became an official in the court.
As soon as such words were spoken, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were soon in an uproar and discussed in a low voice. For a moment, the imperial court was like dropping a drop of water into a hot oil pot.
"Quiet!" Emperor Rui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly spoke, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty instantly quieted down, and Emperor Rui was a child's mind, but the current Emperor Rui was the one on the dragon chair, and the royal majesty made people have to kneel.
Seeing that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were quiet, Emperor Rui said a little annoyed: "You are so noisy, I don't know where I counted!" I can't remember if I counted there just now and whether I was ninety-eight or sixty-eight, but now I have to count it again. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" As he spoke, the junior officer knelt on the ground and kowtowed hatefully, knowing that his forehead was stained with blood.
"Don't make any noise, just say what you want. I have a slight one. Rui Di stretched out his hand and waved, as if he was driving away the pesky mosquitoes, and then turned his eyes and looked carefully at the beads in front of his eyes, his eyes watching, and his mouth was counting: "One, two, three"
got the approval of Emperor Rui, and the petty official immediately said: "The minister is here, and he wants to reach the heavens."
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, and someone dared to come to visit Song Weiyan in the court where Song Weiyan covered the sky with one hand, and the officials below all sweated for this petty official who didn't know the height of the sky.
On the other hand, Song Weiyan, since the petty official ridiculed each other, she has not spoken, and her face is expressionless.
"There are three ministers of the Heavenly Minister: first, the Heavenly Minister's Mansion is extremely extravagant, and not long ago, fireworks were set off all over the city; Second, Lord Tianxiang excludes different parties and forms parties for personal gain; Third, there is a problem with the character of the celestial person, and he will deal with things by unscrupulous means. The above is the content of the minister's participation. "The petty official is sincere and upright.
After listening to the junior official's words, Song Weiyan was expressionless all the time, listening silently, from the beginning to the end, there was no movement.
However, naturally there are some officials who are on Song Weiyan's side, and they don't need Song Weiyan to signal at all, they will automatically step forward and defend Song Weiyan.
Sure enough, a civil official appeared and said, "Lord Chen, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." The fireworks set off by Lord Tianxiang a few days ago, but for the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Chen means that His Royal Highness the Prince should not celebrate his birthday, in this way, Lord Chen has any dissatisfaction with the Prince, but what dissatisfaction with the Emperor has with us, but what dissatisfaction with our Dayan! ”
Perhaps because he didn't expect this change, the junior official originally thought that Song Weiyan would stretch out his hand, but he didn't expect that such an opponent would appear now, and for a while, he had no choice but to fight.
"This difference in words, the minister has no meaning like that at all, if Lord Liu must say this, the lower officials don't know what to say, so they have to admit defeat, after all, sophistry is still not very good at it."
Above the court, it soon became a battlefield for these two people, and the other ministers were in a wait-and-see state.
The protagonist of this incident, Song Weiyan has been quietly listening to the quarrel between these two people, occasionally looking up at Emperor Rui, who was sitting on it, counting the beads over and over again, his eyes flickering, uncertain.
Suddenly, Emperor Rui, who counted the beads, spoke: "Quiet! I'm hungry! ”
And just like that, this court battle ended. In fact, this court debate has no effect on Song Weiyan at all, because only the emperor can deal with Bai Zetianxiang, but the emperor is a mentally incomplete person. However, in other places, the advice of the petty officials has established an image for the hundred officials and won respect.
It's just that none of the officials expected that a shocking thing would happen in this national capital -- a riot.
In this riot, the most dangerous is the old house of the Song family, which was burned to the ground, and no one in the Tianxiang Mansion moved for half a minute, and there was one more thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Bai Rui disappeared and disappeared in this riot.
After learning about this incident, first of all, after dealing with the rioting people, the Fuyi of the national capital went to the old house of the Song family. The old house of the Song family in the past has become a ruin today, not only the old house of the Song family has been burned down, but also several families around have not been spared, all of them have been burned clean by the fire, and the embers that have not been burned are still burning, and the flames that have been extinguished are rising with green smoke. Song Weiyan carried a small bench, knocked melon seeds in her mouth, sat at the entrance of the alley, knocked on Erlang's leg, and looked at the crowd coming and going casually.
Feeling the Fu Yi after that, he hurriedly saluted Song Weiyan: "The minister is late." Look at the sky and be forgiving. ”
"How can you not be considerate?" Song Weiyan threw away all the melon seed shells in her hand, and then said, "You say, it's just a few rioters, you can deal with it for most of the day, because of a fire, the life and death of more than a dozen families are idle aside, and the prime minister has to say that Fu Yi is really the parent official of the people." ”
After hearing these words, Fu Yi did realize that what he did today was not the way to be an official, but because he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was missing, of course, Fu Yi's first thought was how to find His Royal Highness the Prince, and after weighing it, he temporarily put aside the resettlement of the people.
As if seeing through Fu Yi's thoughts, Song Weiyan said: "Lord Fu Yi, it seems that your way of being an official is still to study hard." I heard that your wife just added a daughter to you, and now that you don't have time to take care of this matter, you must not have time to take care of it. It's better to live in the Tianxiang Mansion. ”
When Fu Yi heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body suddenly began to itch.
Throwing away all the melon seeds in her hand, Song Weiyan got up and walked to the depths of the alley.
Fu Yi hurriedly followed behind Song Weiyan.
