Chapter 362: Face Saint
Seeing that the queen took the initiative to clarify the topic, Mrs. Hong did not continue to greet her, but said bluntly: "Niangniang, the courtiers entered the palace this time mainly to ask to see Your Majesty, hoping that Niangniang can help to be accommodating. ”
After listening to her request, the queen immediately replied with a serious face: "Mrs. Hong, don't worry. As soon as I heard that you handed over a post asking to see you, the mourning family understood your intentions. Just when I picked you up, the mourning family had already sent someone to ask His Majesty to move. With Mr. Hong's affection, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely grant your request to see you. ”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Hong was completely relieved. As long as the emperor is willing to receive her, she can submit the pre-written defense.
Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor had not yet come, the empress hurried to speak out and said comfortingly: "Mrs. Hong, you don't need to worry too much. Mr. Hong is the crown prince and the prince, and His Majesty is a person who respects teachers and respects his ways, and will never treat Mr. Hong badly. I believe that the immediate difficulties are only temporary, and it will not take long for Mr. Hong to be cleared. ”
Although the words were vague, Mrs. Hong still understood the hidden meaning. There is an emperor who respects his teachers, and it is naturally not a problem for the prince to run for his own teacher.
Although it has only been a little more than a day since the incident, the battle under the table has already entered a white-hot state. While the prince's party was trying to find a way to exonerate Hong Qian, Qin Wang's party was thinking about how to make things bigger. Both of them have made great efforts to reap sufficient political benefits in this turmoil.
As early as when she was outside the palace, Mrs. Hong knew that the prince was trying his best to rescue Hong Qian. At this time, she received a guarantee from the queen, and her heart to rescue Hong Qian became more and more determined.
As soon as I received the news that Mrs. Hong asked to see me. The emperor put down his official duties and rushed back to Changle Palace. Although he felt the pressure exerted by a group of northern lifters, he still kept Hong Qian in his heart. After so many years of being dealt with by the monarch and ministers, he has already known what kind of character Hong Qian is.
Hearing the summons of the eunuch, several people chatting in the Changle Palace immediately got up to greet each other. When they saw the emperor walk in, they immediately saluted and greeted them, and then they heard a response from the disrespect.
When he got up, Su Wen peeked at the emperor's appearance. She has been wearing it for so long, and this is the first time she has seen the Son of Heaven standing at the top of the pyramid of feudal society. She glanced at it hurriedly, and immediately withdrew her gaze. In his heart, he began to quickly rate the emperor's appearance.
Objectively speaking. This emperor looks pretty good. After all, after several generations of genetic modification, the inheritance of the emperor's family has been integrated into the genes of many beautiful palace concubines, and no matter how bad it is, it should improve.
Seeing them stand up, the Emperor saw at a glance the only unfamiliar face present. Immediately smiled and said, "This is Mr. Hong's female student, right?" I have long heard that the little girl is smart and smart. Now one is indeed worthy of its name. I've heard all four of your poems. My favorite is still those three chrysanthemum poems. ”
Hearing his praise, Su Wen immediately humbled himself and said, "Your Majesty, you have won the award." I ask a person who is a plant and a tree. The poems written are just works of daily fun, where can you stand such praise. ”
Seeing that her attitude was modest and polite, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "I can know how to be humble, and the little girl really deserves to be Hong Aiqing's student." It is not easy for a teenager to become famous, and the little girl must learn to cherish it, and she must not delay her studies. Only by continuing to learn can the poems written get better and better. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he sweated silently in his heart, but he didn't forget to say anything and replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Su Wen must keep it in mind." With His Majesty's encouragement and Mr.'s urging, Su Wen will definitely redouble his efforts in the future. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the emperor turned to Mrs. Hong and said, "Madam Hong, you don't have to worry. Although Hong Aiqing is in the prison, there is an explanation from me, and the jailers will never dare to neglect him. Now that the northern lifts have not dispersed and the situation has not calmed down, Hong Aiqing will stay there for a while for the time being. ”
Listening to his comfort, Mrs. Hong felt a little sour in her heart, but on the surface, she still showed a grateful look. After expressing her gratitude, she took the opportunity to bring up the defense she had brought on this special trip.
After hearing about this, the emperor immediately became interested. He hurriedly ordered Mrs. Hong to present the defense, and immediately began to read the content of the defense carefully. He read it quite carefully, and soon read through the contents. After reading it, he immediately showed an excited look on his face.
Holding this defense, the emperor asked excitedly, "Mrs. Hong, is this what you wrote?" I have to say that this defense is too convincing, and it will definitely make the group of northern lifters speechless. ”
In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Mrs. Hong immediately confessed: "Returning to the saint, this defense is not from the hands of the courtiers, but from my family. Of course, in addition to Su Wen, this defense was also participated by others, but Su Wen was solely responsible for writing it. If His Majesty has any doubts, he can take the school examination at will. ”
Hearing that the real author of this defense was Su Wen, the emperor immediately showed a look of surprise. He looked at Su Wenzai carefully, and finally felt a little incredulous.
To be honest, Su Wen is too young to look like someone with such experience. The problem is that Mrs. Hong has no need to lie at all, and there is no need to add seniority to Su Wen in this way. After all, she is just a girl, even if she really has an earth-shattering talent, it is impossible for her to become an official in the future.
Seeing the emperor's scrupulous gaze, Su Wen immediately said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, this defense is indeed from Su Wen's hand. It's just a play on words, and Your Majesty doesn't need to take it too seriously. ”
Listening to her humble words, the emperor nodded secretly. After being pointed out as such an achievement, it is not easy to be calm. Seeing her current performance, the emperor couldn't help but believe Mrs. Hong's words. If her temperament is really as calm as she appears, she does have the ability to write this defense.
Glancing at the defense in his hand again, the emperor spoke: "With such a defense, I can suppress the limelight of those northern lifters." If they continue to let it go, I'm afraid they will get carried away. ”
Seeing that he had adopted this argument, Mrs. Hong immediately said excitedly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, the courtiers are really grateful." Rest assured, Your Majesty, that if you accept this argument, we can persuade the South to step back and vacate the occupied area. ”
Hearing her say this, the emperor immediately shook his head and said, "Let's put the retreat matter aside for a while, and now we need to continue to wait and see for a while." You don't know, there are people in the south, and you can't make too many demands on the north side. ”
As for the emperor's answer, Mrs. Hong had actually expected it a long time ago. Now with the addition of the southern lifters, the pressure on the emperor's side has been significantly reduced. Even if the northern lifter makes excessive demands, he can use the southern lifter as a shield. For example, when the northern juzi asked for a new imperial examination, he blocked it in the name of the southern juzi.
After a few more words, the emperor left Changle Palace. He has a bunch of things to deal with now, and he can't afford to delay in the harem for too long.
After sending the emperor away, the empress immediately asked about the content of the defense with curiosity. Anyway, this defense is going to be taken out to refute the northern lift, and there is nothing wrong with her inquiring. Even if she doesn't ask now, she will definitely find out from other channels after a while, but there is a difference between the time and the evening.
Without any hesitation, Mrs. Hong introduced the content of the defense. Speaking of which, this defense has actually been exposed, in the press conference held before Su Wen.
Of course, as a defense to the emperor, they nevertheless made a detailed discussion. Each of the above sentences has been carefully thought out to distill the meaning to be conveyed in the most concise words. After going through the packaging of excellence, although the content of the defense is similar to the content of the press conference, the effect presented has changed significantly.
After understanding the content of the defense, the emperor reacted similarly, and the empress also spoke highly of it. This set of arguments not only proved Hong Qian's innocence, but also convicted the northern Juzi of four crimes, which was really too lethal.
After saying goodbye to the queen, Mrs. Hong left the palace with Su Wen. Su Wen had to go to the Heavenly Prison to visit Hong Qian next, and he had to seize the time that was already very tight. Fortunately, Hong Li had already been explained before entering the palace, and the daily necessities prepared for Hong Qian were now ready, and they only needed to be brought over by Su Wen.
Riding the carriage of Hongfu, Su Wen took Xing'er and went straight to the prison. On the way to the prison, she asked about the latest situation in the outside world during the time she entered the palace.
In the face of Su Wen's inquiry, Xing'er immediately reported the information he had gathered. In the time since she left, the latest batch of rumors has appeared in the capital. As she expected, this batch of new rumors were all news from the press conference, and the people of the capital showed great enthusiasm for it.
For such a reaction from the people in the capital, Su Wen had actually expected it a long time ago. Whether it was in the previous life or in this plane, the people who slipped down had a strong enthusiasm for gossip, and were particularly interested in this kind of upper-class strife.
Of course, being able to achieve such good results is inseparable from Mo Yi's secret operation. If it weren't for him secretly facilitating the trouble, the news about the press conference would not have spread to every corner of the capital as quickly as wings. Even if the gossip enthusiasm of the people in the capital is high, it will take at least a while to brew.
With Mo Yi's intervention, this brewing process has been greatly compressed, even to the point where it can be directly ignored. (To be continued......)
