Chapter 339: Argument from above

Luo Hui was thinking about how to write in the study so that Emperor Qinglong felt that he was meritorious, not to look like he was inviting merit, but also to show his ability.

"My lord, my uncle sent someone, saying that he had something important to look for you. Do you think you're bringing people in? The little maid entered the room and asked respectfully.

Eldest brother?! Luo Hui wondered in his heart, how could the eldest brother let people come to him so late? "Let him come in and talk back." He commanded the servant.

The little servant respectfully walked into the house and saluted: "The little one has seen the adult, and it is my master who ordered the little one to come and send a message to the adult, 'No matter what kind of evidence is conclusive, please slow down'." ”

Luo Hui immediately thought that it must be the death of the two elders of the Gong family, and wondered, "Why?" Tomorrow, the Japanese official will enter the palace to start the emperor, the sooner this matter is solved, the better, can the eldest brother say anything else? ”

The little guy continued: "The master also said, 'One wrong step, one wrong step, choosing the right direction, is the way to survive, now the wind and clouds have already changed direction, those who know the times are handsome, and they must follow the trend." ”

Luo Hui is not a stupid person, if there is a change in the palace now, then all the changes are because of one person, the Fourth Highness, a person who can arouse the extreme attention of His Royal Highness and the Third Highness.

Luo Yong's meaning couldn't be more obvious, Emperor Qinglong took the fourth highness Qi Mo into the palace at this time, not only to give him the identity of a prince, but also to let the latter participate in the competition for the throne, which can also be seen that Emperor Qinglong attaches great importance to Qi Mo.

First of all, nothing else, just the emperor's affirmation of the four highnesses, the chance of winning the throne is also greater than that of the other princes. Luo Yong understands this relationship very well, which makes Luo Hui choose to stand on the side of the four princes.

But His Royal Highness has been in the palace for more than half a year, but at this time he stood up and said that he wanted to support him. I'm afraid it's because the latter took the initiative to speak. Although Luo Hui didn't know the relationship between Zhu Mo and Ling Yi, since the eldest brother asked him not to report it in a hurry, I am afraid that it was inseparable from this matter.

Everyone is a family, of course Luo Hui will choose to listen to the words of the eldest brother Luo Yong, and let the little guy go back to his life, saying that he knows what to do.

Everyone waited for the arrival of the next day, for the Xuande Gate to open. The courtiers entered the Xuanwu Hall one after another. Before Emperor Qinglong took his seat, the ministers below gathered in groups of three or five to discuss what major events would be played in the court today.

"Yo, the fourth brother came early today. I remember that I used to arrive later than my father's capital, but today, what happened, the sun came out in the west? Qi Run looked at Qi Mo mockingly.

Qi Mo scratched his ears without any image, and said, "I just said that I felt a little uncomfortable in my ears early in the morning." It turned out that someone started farting into my ears early in the morning. Brother Huang spoke and stood aside, my ears couldn't stand it. ”

"You-" Qi Runqi's eyes widened, but Qi Mo didn't even look at him, he was angry and shook his sleeves fiercely, "I don't compare with a reckless man like you, so as not to lose my identity." ”

Qi Mo smiled: "Yes, when the imperial brother sees me in the future, don't speak." lest my identity do not match, after all, there are people in this palace who can talk to me. It's just my father and my people from the Feather Birch Palace. ”

Third Highness Qi Hua saw Qi Run's angry red face, and smiled secretly in his heart, but stepped forward to comfort: "Imperial brother, don't take it to heart, the fourth brother is this temper, straightforward but not malicious, after so long, doesn't the imperial brother know that if you don't have three points of endurance to talk to the fourth brother, how can you do it." ”

This was said darkly, and he said that the uneducated people who grew up outside Qi Mo Palace were not easy to get along with, and implied that Qi Hua didn't even have a measurement of three points, and the two of them were sarcastic, but they were still white.

Qi Mo continued to laugh: "What the Third Emperor Brother said is very true, I am just an informal person, I don't know what etiquette is, I heard that the Third Emperor Brother has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has learned benevolence, righteousness and morality, I want to ask, what does the 'etiquette' that the Three Emperor Brothers learn mean?" ”

A flash of contempt flashed in Qi Hua's eyes, but of course he wouldn't do anything that violated etiquette in front of everyone, so he explained seriously: "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand, and the reason why mortals are more valuable than beasts is to be polite." The husband and gentleman's trip are quiet and self-cultivation. Etiquette, the way of man, the scriptures of heaven, and the behavior of the people. Humility to others is regarded as etiquette. ”

Qi Mo suddenly realized, and bowed with admiration: "What the Three Emperor Brothers said is, especially the word 'let', the so-called let is to give to others, not to compete with others, the Three Emperor Brothers can have this mind, which really makes me admire." ”

Before Qi Hua could react to what he meant, he heard Qi Run laugh and said: "This little let can be, but I don't know where the big let go." However, the fearless spirit of the third brother also impressed me. ”

Qi Hua finally understood, and it was Qi Mo, a stinky boy, who grabbed the handle in his words and twisted his 'let' into not competing with others, especially not competing with others for the throne, if he refuted himself, it would be equivalent to slapping himself in the face.

Qi Run hurriedly said: "What the third brother said just now is reasonable, the fourth brother is informal, and he speaks without intention, and with the measurement of the third brother, he must not be counted." ”

Qi Mo asked the two to go dog-eat-dog, while he waited for Emperor Qinglong with nothing to do.

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”" the master of ceremonies shouted loudly. Everyone hurriedly stood back to their positions, knelt down and saluted three times.

After Emperor Qinglong sat down, he raised his hand and ordered everyone to get up, and the old rule of the master of ceremonies "if there is something to play, nothing to retreat from the court", just finished speaking, he heard His Royal Highness Qi Run stand up, holding his own recital with both hands and said: "Father, the son has something to play." After saying that, he didn't forget to smile inexplicably and glanced at Qi Mo.

The little eunuch took Qi Run's recital and presented it to Emperor Qinglong.

"Wait a minute-" Qi Mo held up his notebook, "Father, son-in-law also have something to play, and this matter is extremely urgent, I must know it as soon as possible." ”

He turned his head to look at Qi Run and said: "Brother Huang, you have all read books and received etiquette education, but I am an undisciplined person, and I don't understand the etiquette in this palace. ”

Qi Run didn't want to agree, but Qi Hua persuaded him at this time: "Didn't the imperial brother agree with my etiquette just now, the fourth brother is still young." How about you just let him once? ”

Although it was a request on his face, he laughed proudly in his heart, and the feng shui took turns. I laughed at myself just now, but now I'm okay, I see how proud you are.

Qi Hua secretly cursed in his heart, if he was so intervened by Qi Run, if he didn't let him, he would inevitably seem too small, so he could only say unwillingly: "Since the fourth brother is more anxious." Let's talk about it first. ”

Qi Mo casually hugged his fists and thanked him, and passed the eunuch and handed the book directly to the emperor: "Father, the son wants to talk about this matter." It was the sons who accidentally learned that the two ancestors of the palace family were killed yesterday, and the sons asked their fathers and emperors to allow their sons to be responsible for investigating this matter.

Emperor Qinglong turned to the last page. It was a sentence: This matter is handed over to the son. It is also a thing that proves the ability of the sons.

After the Fourth Highness entered the palace, he came out and behaved hopelessly, and there was one more thing, that is, no one knew if he had any outstanding ability, Emperor Qinglong thought about it, and now this is indeed an opportunity.

After Qi Mo finished speaking, Qi Run was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gong Chengyan. Both of them had doubts in their eyes, but more of them had strange expressions as if they were deflated.

In the middle of their thoughts. Emperor Qinglong had already made a decision, and asked Gong Chengyan: "What His Royal Highness said is true?" Did the two ancestors of the Gong family really be killed? ”

Gong Chengyan could only say, "Yesterday, Ji Lao and Chang Lao were indeed killed, and Weichen was supposed to report this matter to the emperor today, but the Fourth Highness had the heart and was willing to seek justice for the two ancestors, and Weichen thanked the Fourth Highness." ”

Qi Run gritted his teeth secretly, his plan was not like this, didn't it mean that Qi Mo wanted to buy Luo Hui and let the latter not report it but delay as much as possible, obviously in this matter, Qi Mo wanted to bend the law to save the Ling clan for personal gain, but now how could it be his play.

No, it will definitely not be that simple, once this case falls into Qi Mo's hands, it is not that he can break it as he wants, as long as there is 'evidence', he can also save the Ling family, thinking about it like this, he retorted at the beginning: "Father, the son is actually going to play this matter."

Erchen heard that Jing Zhaoyin had conclusive evidence, and it seemed that the murderer had been arrested. Erchen thought that solving the case was a matter for the Ministry of War, and if the fourth prince was allowed to solve the case on his behalf, it seemed to be insulting to the fourth brother's status as a prince.

Besides, the fourth brother grew up outside the palace since he was a child, where have he met a very vicious person, if he is frightened, what would it be. Please think twice. ”

He took the lead, and naturally the ministers who stood on his side also followed.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has never solved a case, and his life is at stake, so please ask the emperor to let the Ministry of War come forward to try this case."

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has a noble status, how can you deal with those reckless, if there is any damage in the process of solving the case, how can you get it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice."

One after another, the ministers stood up to second, and Emperor Qinglong looked at the ministers underground with a frown, and secretly wrote down in his heart that these people were all members of the Queen Mother's party, and they were also against Qi Mo.

Qi Mo smiled and listened to everyone's words of disapproval, but he didn't seem to hear it, as if what those people said had nothing to do with him at all.

It's just that when no one was paying attention, he glanced at Luo Hui, Luo Hui was also clever, and knew what to do, so he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister, the two murders only happened yesterday, and there is no conclusive evidence now."

But Chen already had clues and did arrest the suspect, but Chen didn't dare to make a judgment, because everything was too smooth, and almost all the evidence pointed to the same person.

In this case, either the perpetrator is a fool, or someone deliberately framed him. Therefore, the minister asked the emperor to give the minister half a month more, and then the minister could confirm that all the clues and evidence were true, and then decide the case. ”

Emperor Qinglong nodded: "This matter really needs to be cautious, I am accurate." ”

In this way, he immediately blocked Gong Chengyan, who wanted to speak, and he originally wanted to take the opportunity to list all the evidence and tell the emperor, so that the latter would know that Ling was the major suspect in this case.

But Luo Hui made his words impossible to continue, if he still insisted on his opinion that the Ling family was the murderer, it would be prejudiced.

Qi Mo looked around and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone else who cares about me and worries about my safety?" If you have any other words, you will stand up and let me see if they are so concerned about me, and I will be grateful. ”

No one accosted, Qi Mo asked again: "No one?" Is there really no one? There is only one chance, and if anyone thinks I can't solve the case, they quickly stand up and make a statement. ”

After waiting for a while, no one stood up again, and Qi Mo said to Emperor Qinglong with a smile: "Father, what about those people just now, they all cared about the second minister, and they were afraid that the second minister would have an accident at a young age, and the second minister was very grateful in his heart."

But loving mothers defeat their children, and benevolent ministers defeat their masters, and it is right that they care, but children cannot always live under protection.

Father, the son just counted, there are a total of one hundred and twenty people in the court, and there are more than 30 people who stand up to speak, and the rest are all silent.

didn't speak, but he didn't object, that is, he supported the second minister. The minority obeyed the majority, and asked his father to issue an order to let his sons take over the palace murder case. ”

Whether it is those who stand up against it, or those who do not express their opinions, they are all shocked in their hearts, everyone used to think that His Royal Highness was not serious about his hip-hop on weekdays, and his behavior was not according to common sense, and he was restless.

Such a person, even if he becomes an emperor, will not be able to take on such a great responsibility, and the country will be ruined sooner or later because of his failure to do his job.

But sometimes, what Qi Mo said and did seemed to be nonsensical, and it seemed to be lucky, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was a lot of thought in it. For example, just now, if His Royal Highness or Third Highness encountered opposition from more than 30 courtiers, I am afraid that they would all be in a hurry to list how they were suitable to take over this case.

But Zhu Mo used the remaining ninety people who didn't speak, and did the opposite, although there were some opportunistic factors, but it was also a good way. (To be continued.) )
