Chapter 378: King Zhennan is impeached
Dali Siqing seconded, "This is the first time that such a big accident has happened, and Weichen also feels that this time the matter is mainly unfavorable for the supervisor of Zhennan Wang, otherwise it would not be this result." ”
Seeing that the signs were wrong, the Nine Emperor Princes were talking to civil officials who got along well with Prime Minister Duan on weekdays, and they had all said their words, and when the time came, the imperial brother would only be convicted, and there would be no other possibility at all, how could he see things evolve like this.
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with the imperial brother, no matter what, there is a risk, although the imperial brother is the supervisor, but the safety of all the workers can not be responsible for the imperial brother, not to mention that this time it was an accident, when the imperial brother came to the palace, he sent someone to send a thousand taels of silver to the family of the deceased, isn't this enough? The emperor's brother treats people generously, and he also gives a lot of silver taels to the workers on weekdays, so today's incident is purely accidental, and he also asks his father to be aware of everything. ”
The Nine Emperors rarely take care of the affairs of the court and politics on weekdays, and now that the king of Zhennan has been impeached, he can't sit idly by.
Prime Minister Duan sneered and said, "According to the meaning of the Nine Emperors' words, a mere thousand taels of silver can buy the lives of a few people?" It's just three thousand taels of silver, what can be done, since the thing happened, it is enough to admit the mistake, and there is no need to say anything else. ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites agreed, "The Prime Minister's words are indeed reasonable, if anything can be replaced with silver taels, wouldn't it be a mess, and now I don't know what the cause of the accident is, and when the time comes, as long as the cause of the accident is determined, everything can be solved, right?" ”
The emperor felt that what the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said was pertinent, "That's right, it's just that what King Zhennan thinks about this matter, how do you want to solve this matter now!" ”
King Zhennan knelt down and said without humility or arrogance, "Although this matter is not directly caused by the sons, but the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is right, this matter is more or less the responsibility of the sons, it is better for the father to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, what is the reason at that time, don't you know?" What does Father think? ”
The emperor thought for a moment, and felt that what King Zhennan said was also good, "Very good, it's better to do what you say, this matter is investigated step by step, no matter who did this, it will be good to be convicted at that time, and there is no need to have other concerns." ”
"Brother Huang, this matter has been investigated."
Suddenly there was the voice of the Eighth Prince outside the hall, Yuan Chufeng suddenly realized that something was wrong, it seemed that some people were planning to act, and the King of Zhennan was silent on the surface, but he secretly guessed in his heart what the Eighth Prince was up to.
"Oh, what did you find, why don't you come and hear about it?" The emperor raised his eyes and asked.
The eighth prince knelt down and said without humility or arrogance, "After the incident, I inquired for a long time, only to find out that it was actually wood cutting corners, so this time it collapsed, and the best quality materials should have been bought, but some people used their power for personal gain, and took the silver money invested by the imperial court for their own use, which led to the workers accidentally stepping on it when it was built, causing this accident." ”
When the emperor heard this, his face was slightly annoyed, and he said in a cold voice, "There is such a thing, have you found any evidence?" ”
The eighth prince handed the materials that had been prepared in his hand to Gonggong Jiang, and then said respectfully, "This is some of the evidence I found since the incident, including the purchase of materials, are all responsible for the people under the King of Zhennan, these materials are not usable, compared to the materials we originally used, the price is more than ten times lower, what is the intention of the King of Zhennan, I think I should be able to guess!" ”
King Zhennan said sharply, "This matter has nothing to do with this king, abuse of wood to cut corners, I don't think it is possible to do this!" ”
Duan Cheng said coldly, "What King Zhennan said is interesting, if not, what is going on with these evidences, I originally thought that King Zhennan was sympathetic to the people's feelings so he promoted the construction of a comfortable nest, but I didn't expect that you only want to use power for personal gain and plan for your own interests, it seems that King Zhennan has never thought about the people in his heart!" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes said sharply, "Shut up, my imperial brother is frank, he is definitely not the kind of person you say, if Prime Minister Duan wants to frame him, he can't!" ”
"Shut up, how can the court allow you to talk like this, don't retreat quickly!"
The emperor said coldly, as if he didn't expect the Nine Emperors to dare to say this, the emperor was a little helpless, but in this matter, the evidence was in front of him, and no one knew what to do for a while!
"Yes, Father." The Nine Emperor Princes whispered.
The Nine Emperors didn't expect that the King of Zhennan would be slandered by such a person now, no wonder he rarely saw the Eighth Prince during this time, it turned out that he was busy framing the imperial brother.
The Nine Emperors thought indignantly in their hearts, but now that the emperor is here, he really doesn't dare to make a mistake, it seems that this matter still needs to be investigated, otherwise the imperial brother will really be wronged by these people.
"It seems that this matter is very suspicious, but what you found out is also well-founded, and I have never been biased, so the current matter can only be dealt with as soon as possible, King Zhennan, what do you want to say?"
The emperor said to King Zhennan in a cold voice, and his tone did not contain any emotion.
King Zhennan didn't care, anyway, he had already expected this time when he came to the palace.
If his father trusted him, things would not have gone this far, but some evidence really needs to be ascertained, and the time at this time is still insufficient, and it still takes some time to deal with it, he knows in his heart.
Yuan Qingshu saw this opportunity, so he dared to make a move.
"No matter how my father disposes of it, the son is willing to obey, but this matter has nothing to do with the son, I guarantee in my identity, if I do this, the son voluntarily gives up his title and leaves Hanzhou, and will never set foot in Hanzhou again and stay away from this place."
These words are very frightening, after all, the identity of the king of Zhennan is very difficult to obtain.
It can be said that the identity of one person and above ten thousand people can be easily possessed.
But since King Zhennan can give up so easily, it is very admirable, of course, King Zhennan is also unwilling in his heart, but there is no way to let him be the master alone.
It's just that King Zhennan secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, after this incident, he would never let go of those who slandered him, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely embarrass them.
Prime Minister Duan said mockingly, "King Zhennan laughed, if this time the thing was really done by you, even if you don't leave this identity, the people in Hanzhou will not be able to tolerate the vicious King of Zhennan!" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes glared at Prime Minister Duan, if it was really someone who couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.
