Chapter 311: Imperial Court Strife
When the Eighth Emperor arrived at the Jinluan Palace, the early dynasty had not yet begun, and the hall was empty, and he saw the emperor on the dragon chair from a distance, thinking that he was overworked, so the emperor looked a lot older.
"The younger brother has seen the emperor." The Eighth Prince respectfully knelt down in front of the emperor.
The emperor coughed violently, then stroked his chest, and said slowly, "Qingshu, are you back?" ”
Yuan Qingshu said with a smile, "Thank you to the imperial brother for fulfilling the mother-son relationship between the younger brother and the queen mother, and the younger brother can return to the palace safe and sound. ”
The emperor said with a smile, "The body is fine, but it has been alternating between hot and cold recently, so the body is a little unwell, but it is not in the way." ”
"The younger brother is relieved." Yuan Qingshu said with a smile.
"After returning to the palace, have you ever seen the Queen Mother? She misses you very much. The emperor raised his eyes and said.
"I have seen it when I came, and when my brother came back, I brought some jewelry to my mother, and I saw that her old man was in good health, and my brother was relieved." Yuan Qingshu answered like a stream.
"Okay, the early dynasty is about to start, let's wait by the side." The emperor spoke up.
"Yes, thank you, Brother Huang."
Before half an hour arrived, the ministers in the court rushed to the morning one after another, and the sharp voice of Gonggong Jiang sounded.
"Upper Dynasty ......"
The ministers knelt down and said slowly, "Wechen has seen the emperor, long live." ”
"Flat." The emperor said in a deep voice, if you don't look carefully, no one will know that the emperor is extremely unwell.
In the crowd, King Zhennan's gaze fell on the Eighth Prince with a smile, thinking that he noticed that someone was watching him, and the Eighth Prince turned around and saw Yuan Chufeng's smiling eyes, he was a little scared in his heart, and he couldn't help but shudder!
"Something to start, nothing to retreat." Jiang Gonggong said.
Just when Gonggong Jiang thought that there was nothing to do today, the king of Zhennan stood up in the crowd, and the ministers were slightly surprised, and then the Nine Emperors also stood up, and the two knelt down and said in unison, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has something to do." ”
The emperor's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was puzzled, "Yes." ”
"Erchen wants to sue the Eighth Emperor Uncle Yuan Qingshu, he robbed the people's daughter for his own selfish desires, and took away the innocence of Duan Yanran, the second lady of the Duan family, who was humiliated, and actually committed suicide, later, if it wasn't for the future princess of this king to save Duan Er Miss by chance, I'm afraid that Duan Yanran is now a corpse under the Yellow Spring!"
When the emperor heard this, he was very concerned in his heart, and he frowned and said, "What you said is true?" ”
King Zhennan said seriously, "Erchen's words are absolutely true, and the emperor will investigate." ”
The emperor's eyes looked coldly at the Eighth Prince on the side, and he said coldly, "Yuan Qingshu, do you admit this matter or not?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with me, yesterday, after I came back to Hanzhou, I felt tired and then fell asleep, what the king of Zhennan said, the younger brother really doesn't know, I think the king of Zhennan recognized the wrong person, it is also possible!"
The words were sworn by, in fact, Yuan Qingshu was not sure in his heart, but yesterday, after Duan Yanran was dying, he let people throw her away, but at this time, when he heard King Zhennan say this, he began to doubt the identity of the sinking fish girl last night, could he really be Duan Yanran, the second lady of Duan?
Yuan Qingshu still didn't understand this matter in his heart, how could this matter be known by the King of Zhennan!
Prime Minister Duan on the side said coldly, "The King of Zhennan said this without evidence, is my Duan family's daughter going to be slandered like this?" Yan Ran stayed in the house well, can this matter still be fake? Why is the prince so hard to force a little girl, even if you don't like my second daughter, you don't have to humiliate like this! ”
Duan Cheng was not lightly angry, he insisted that Yuan Chufeng was slandering.
"Bitter and struggling? This king will not guess others at will, but in recent days, this king has never said a word, if Prime Minister Duan doesn't believe it, it is better to go back to the house to check, yesterday's incident was so big, Miss Duan is now in this palace, does Prime Minister Duan think that this king will joke about this kind of thing? ”
Yuan Chufeng said in a cold voice, Prime Minister Duan was not lightly angry, and pointed at Yuan Chufeng tremblingly and said, "King Zhennan, you are like this, you want my family to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river!" ”
The two sides argued, the emperor didn't speak, he sat aside, no one helped, Jiang Gonggong couldn't see the emperor's thoughts, but things were so embarrassing in the court.
He could only say in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's an early dynasty now, and you can't let the Prime Minister and the prince continue to quarrel!" It's not good to hear about it! ”
The emperor came back to his senses, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll talk about this matter tomorrow, since the king of Zhennan said so, he already has evidence in his heart, if that's the case, why don't you all come with evidence tomorrow, okay?" ”
The emperor's words still gave some face, and they said respectfully, "Yes, Weichen understands." ”
After staying in the next dynasty, the king of Zhennan assisted to leave, and Prime Minister Duan stayed to appeal to the emperor, saying that the king of Zhennan slandered him!
The emperor said with relief, "What is right and wrong in this matter, the prime minister will know if he goes back to the mansion to see, whether it is the fault of the eighth prince or the king of Zhennan, I will not favor anyone, but everything must pay attention to evidence, I think, you should understand it in your heart, right?" ”
"Yes, Wechen understands."
The prime minister left the Jinluan Palace, his face was slightly cold, who knew that he walked to the Xuanwu Gate, but found that the king of Zhennan did not leave, he gritted his teeth and walked up, and said coldly.
"On weekdays, Weichen has always avoided the prince and has never done anything out of the ordinary, but today, how can the prince say that! My daughter of the Duan family is not married yet, doesn't the prince make our daughter of the Duan family desperate? ”
Prime Minister Duan has six daughters under his knees, none of whom are now married, he is weighing the pros and cons, and he has not yet considered who to marry his daughter, but what King Zhennan did today blocked all his back roads, how could he not be angry in his heart.
"I never wanted to target the daughter of the Duan family, didn't Prime Minister Duan go back to the mansion to see in person, how could this kind of thing be spread by this king at will, everything he saw and heard was seen with his own eyes, do you think this king is lying?"
"My Duan family's family motto is strict, how can there be such a thing, don't talk nonsense!" Prime Minister Duan gritted his teeth and said.
Yuan Chufeng raised his eyebrows, sneered and said, "This king disdains to do this, if you don't believe it, this king has no choice, this matter has come to this point, no matter what you think in your heart, since you don't believe it, it's better to go and see it in person, don't blame this king for not reminding you at that time, Qianjin Pavilion, or Mrs. Duan, you can go and ask." ”
