Chapter 46: Impostor
"Yes."
Shi Qingqing took a step forward under the gaze of all the officials, bowed his head to the ground and bowed before slowly getting up, suppressing the doubts in his heart, and said loudly: "Father, the son thinks that the second prince has nothing to do with this. ”
The original military general was overjoyed when he heard this, and whispered to the people on the side: "Hey, I didn't expect Emperor Qingluo to be quite reasonable." ”
However, this is not the case for Wenchen, there are two reasons, first, the clerk is right, someone must be responsible for this matter, the second prince as a general can not get out of the matter, second, the second prince is not the prince of a country, but he has a heavy army is not good for other princes, this matter, the emperor has this decision is the fruit of careful consideration, and it does not rule out the suspicion that there are other princes.
So this matter has nothing to do with the second prince and has to do with it.
Even if Emperor Qingluo sees the situation clearly, but his qualifications are too shallow, how can this matter be discussed in the court?
Compared with the look of the general, Wen Chen's side was in an uproar, and Shi Qingqing said a word, and there were many objections.
"Emperor Ji, the emperor has already discussed this matter with the ministers, but why is the emperor so arbitrary?" Lord Gu took the lead in standing up.
The Lord Wu behind him followed, "Your Majesty, the emperor's words are wrong, the emperor must not talk nonsense because he has no answer!" ”
"Yes, what's wrong with this year's students, the new champion is like this, and so is the Hundred Flowers champion, Emperor Ji, you better change your mind!"
“……”
Wenchen, you and I have persuaded Shi Qingqing to change, Shi Qingqing heard it in his ears but did not take it to heart, judging from Wenchen's expression, it is more and more certain that the second prince was disposed of too much because of this matter, although it is not certain whether it is the result of everyone figuring out the emperor's thoughts, but since the emperor has mentioned it at this moment, he must hope to renegotiate this matter.
Shi Qingqing smiled slightly, met the hidden expectant gaze of the Northern Xia Emperor, bowed down and said: "Father, the reason why Erchen thinks that the second brother has nothing to do with this is because Erchen thinks that the robber wants to have a great background, or it can be said that someone deliberately arranged it, not to rob the disaster food, but to make the second prince lose his military power. ”
Since those people were able to injure the second prince so badly but didn't kill him, it must have been because they wanted to use the second prince's own force to hide the real purpose of the robbers.
Shi Qingqing's words were something that everyone didn't dare to think, dare to think but didn't dare to say it, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs didn't expect Shi Qingqing to say it so fearlessly, and he couldn't think of words to refute it for a while, just stood on one side with different expressions, waiting for how the Northern Xia Emperor would fall.
"Then Qing'er, what do you think should be done?" Emperor Beixia asked in a deep voice, his tone implying a hint of impatience.
Shi Qingqing heard it, how could everyone not hear it, there are those who are annoyed at the moment, there are those who meditate on countermeasures, and there are those who suddenly realize.
"Qing'er thinks that Sima Xiaoshizi's words are good, the two-pronged approach should be the top, and the father should send another person to assist the uncle of the father, although the case is solved, and those robbers can be brought to the case to sacrifice the souls of the victims in the sky."
"Also, the father and the emperor should restore the military power of the second prince."
Before the emperor could answer, some people in the Wenchen were already panicking, and the two princes finally fell down, how could they be helped up by Emperor Qingluo in a few words?
"This ......" "Emperor Qingluo's words are wrong, if the second prince is completely innocent, it is also unreasonable, how can he restore his military power!"
The military general regarded Emperor Qingluo as a benefactor, and finally someone came to help the second prince speak, how could he let Wenchen gain the upper hand again, there was no need for Shi Qingqing to refute, the military general had already relied on his own tall horses, big arms, round waist, and roared loudly, "How can you say it, the second prince is responsible for no fault, what are your intentions?" ”
"Even if there were, I just didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless and insidious, if this is also counted, but if this is calculated, wouldn't it be too strict to seize the military power of the second prince."
The generals are not all rough men, there are also people who have both civil and military studies, and the refutation of Wenchen's attitude of fighting on the basis of reason is well-founded and convincing.
"Due to the delay in the delivery of disaster grain, so that tens of thousands of disaster victims have not received timely assistance, how can such punishment be severe, or does the second prince value the lives of the disaster victims less than a soldier's power?"
"Fundamentally, these are two different things."
"The second prince was deprived of military power because he lost the disaster food and delayed the opportunity, how can it be two different things?"
“……”“……”
In the end, this matter was no longer under Shi Qingqing's control, so he had to bow his head and kneel aside, and no longer intervene in the factional dispute between the ministers of civil and military affairs. But suddenly noticed someone's fierce gaze, Shi Qingqing followed the prestige, but only saw Wen Gui suddenly turn his head, as if he was evading.
Shi Qingqing felt strange in his heart, and wanted to ask carefully, but suddenly saw Sima Xiaoshizi looking at him with a smile, and his face was teasing.
"That's it!"
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was already arguing, and the Northern Xia Emperor spoke in a deep voice, with a faint deterrence, so that everyone did not dare to say more, Shi Qingqing had to turn his head and did not explore the deep meaning in his eyes.
"Qing'er is right!"
"Your Majesty......" Gu Daren still didn't give up, and was swept away by the majestic eyes of the Northern Xia Emperor, and didn't dare to say more.
Seeing this, the Northern Xia Emperor calmed down a little, suppressed the hot and dry qi in his body, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed too heavy for the second prince, so I have decided to restore the military power of the second prince from today." In addition, Lao Qi was sent to Nangang to assist Zai's father Aiqing in handling the case, hoping to have a result on this matter. ”
Only now did the ministers understand that the emperor had already understood this matter, and as for the new students who said that the new students were just a temptation, whether one of them said this matter or not, I was afraid that the emperor would say this.
Shi Qingqing thought to himself, no wonder all the princes and Shi Xiang's father are not here today, so it is.
Suddenly, the people in the palace bowed down and were taught, "The emperor is wise!" ”
"Okay, today's palace test, Xiao Shizi, you answered quite well, I named you as the palace pavilion, the official residence from the five grades, a southwest mansion, 10,000 taels of gold."
"Your Majesty." Since the emperor politely rejected Sima Yan's request for marriage, Sima Yan's mind is no longer above the court, so he doesn't care about what official position or reward, and after listening to what the emperor said, it is estimated that it is also an idle errand, after all, he will inherit the throne in the future, and any official position now is of little significance, so he bowed down and thanked him without any dissatisfaction.
Emperor Beixia nodded lightly, and was more satisfied with Sima Yan's move, so he continued to Shi Qingqing: "Qing'er, you will go to the Criminal Department to assist Lao Qi, serve as a judicial officer, and have four official residences, rewards, thousands of acres of land, and ten thousand taels of gold." ”
Shi Qingqing did not have too many objections to the Northern Xia Emperor's words, presumably because the Northern Xia Emperor had his own thoughts, and Shi Qingqing's expression also made the officials unable to find a reason to refute it, so they just said 'The emperor is wise'.
So, Shi Qingqing bowed down and thanked him.
"The clerk is expensive, I have appointed you as the county order of Jingfeng City, the official residence is nine products, ten acres of land, and a thousand gold in silver, can you have any objections?"
Not only the officials, but even Shi Qingqing was quite surprised, I couldn't imagine that the dignified new section champion was just a county order, or Jing closed the city, and even a Beijing official couldn't get it, but in addition to the surprise, I couldn't help but think of what the clerk answered, presumably the emperor wanted to go out too much, and he was extremely disappointed, and rewarding a county order was just a pity for the pain of hard reading.
However, the clerk still couldn't see clearly, "The minister has objections." ”
"Oh? What is your objection? Emperor Beixia's eyes narrowed slightly, and judging from Shi Qingqing's understanding, he was already furious.
So far, no one has dared to have any objections to the emperor's words, Shi Qingqing wanted to persuade the clerk to be expensive, not to touch the imperial power, but after hearing the next sentence of the clerk, he stopped.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Emperor Qingluo is suspected of fraud."
As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads, and they couldn't imagine that someone was so stupid that they couldn't even keep a county order.
The emperor's face was slightly as dark as water, his face was frosty, and he reprimanded: "How can this be true, the documents are expensive, do you know what you are talking about!" ”
The emperor did not directly convict the scholar Gui, and wanted to give him a chance to reform, but the scholar was not aware of it, but he just thought that he was born rich without enemies after all, and said loudly at the moment: "Your Majesty, Weichen once heard the friend of the emperor ask the emperor for the test questions on the day of the exam, and then Mr. Gai Qinggai personally led the emperor to go, and Mr. Gai is one of the people who wrote the question, the seventh prince is the brother of the emperor, Wen Lao is his teacher, and the teacher is his father, so Weichen concluded, Emperor Ji must have known the answer to the test questions in advance! ”
Shi Qingqing couldn't help sneering when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that this trip was all a lie, and he was still protecting him from being accidentally injured under the long whip of flower feathers, and he was an unscrupulous person for the sake of power.
"According to you, I'm also the one who leaked the test questions?"
The emperor swept away His Highness's people sternly, and the edge was close to the scholar, so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head to the ground and shouted, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
It seems that this person has only listened to the first half and doesn't know the second half, Shi Qingqing suddenly remembered the gaze of Sima Yan, I'm afraid that he has already broken it!
"After this test question was written by several Aiqing, it was handed over to me and placed in my Shuntian Palace, in the dormitory, according to what you say, I am the father of Qingqing, and I must have leaked the test questions, right?"
Wengui's originally extremely confident voice suddenly panicked, and he was a little incoherent, "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just heard someone ask the emperor, and Weichen deduced... Wechen thinks... I think the emperor must know the test questions... Fang was able to answer and became the champion of a hundred flowers...... And the reason why Emperor Ji was able to answer this... The palace test, I must have heard about it for a long time......"
"How can this be reasonable, this person is narrow-minded, framed his fellow disciples and disregarded the imperial power, and dragged me out and beheaded." When the Northern Xia Emperor heard this, he was already furious.
When the clerk arrived at this time, he understood what he had said, his whole body trembled, and he only cried and shouted, 'The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the micro-minister knows the mistake, the micro-minister knows the mistake......
Shi Qingqing suddenly remembered Xia Han's words in the Mingwa Mansion that day, if it weren't for Xia Han, she wouldn't have deduced the strangeness of the robbers, so it can be regarded as what the clerk said has already heard!
"Father, the son has a few questions to ask this Wen... Magistrate. ”
"Ask!"
Shi Qingqing stood up, looked at Wen Gui condescendingly, and chuckled, "Dare to ask Wen County Order, do you know who you are loyal to?" ”
Although the clerk was surprised by Shi Qingqing's words, he knew that he was in a crime, so he replied resignedly, "I naturally know that as the loyal of the people of Northern Xia, it is naturally the king of Northern Xia." ”
Shi Qingqing nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know who you are questioning?" ”
"It's... It was the king of Northern Xia. ”
"Do you recognize me?"
The clerk raised his head and looked at it, and then closed his eyes very much, and he was actually not indignant and insulted in his heart, "If the emperor has something to say, you might as well say it directly, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it." ”
"I am the emperor's own Emperor Qingluo, the eldest daughter of the first-class meritorious teacher, Shi Qingqing, a life of glory and wealth, why do you think I want to take the road of the imperial examination? Do you think I'm just here to show you how many people are behind me? ”
"You can't see the current situation clearly, you talk nonsense about the second prince, and you don't think much about it, and you are in vain to read the books of sages. Also" Speaking of this, Shi Qingqing paused slightly, and then his tone became more vain, and he pointed at him and said, "Also, you came here under the name of a clerk, what do you want?" ”
"What? Impostors? "Is there such a thing?" “……”
"I'm just a clerk, I don't know why Emperor Ji framed me, or because I just said that Emperor Ji knew the test questions in advance, and I was annoyed and angry?" Hearing Shi Qingqing's words, the clerk became more and more confident.
On the way here, Shi Qingqing asked him about his parents, and he said that 'his parents are not suitable for long journeys when they are old', but Shi Qingqing once helped Wen Lao to list statistics students, and saw the words that the clerk is expensive and his parents are dead.
It was uncertain, but because his answer was not at all like what a talented person said, he was tempted, but he didn't expect to be caught by the teacher.
"Then I just asked about your parents, why did you say that your parents are far away on the border of Northern Xia?"
"Emperor Ji Hugh is talking nonsense, and what I'm talking about is that my parents are thousands of miles away!"
Hearing this, Shi Qingqing smiled slightly, and sure enough, he was hit.
Seeing that the scholar Qingqing suddenly stopped talking, he raised his head and saw that the ministers were already discussing, and then he came back to his senses.
There are many people who teach at the Dumen Academy among the ministers, and they still have some understanding of the expensive documents, but this person has no father and no mother, why are the parents thousands of miles away?
"Come on, take this person down quickly, hand him over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, and then execute him!"
As soon as the voice of the Northern Xia Emperor fell, a soldier in armor suddenly stepped forward and dragged the clerk down, and before he could open his mouth, he was covered to death, but he was struggling, still unwilling.
But those soldiers were not comparable to weak scholars, and they dragged this man down without much effort.
The court suddenly returned to tranquility, and in this way, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but look at Shi Qingqing with admiration.
Shi Qingqing just bowed and stood aside, neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not arrogant because of Fang Cai, and the Northern Xia Emperor nodded frequently and was very satisfied.
Even Sima Yan couldn't help but glance at Shi Qingqing a few more times.
In short, the temple trial was successfully concluded. R1152
