Chapter 134: Quarreling with the concubine
When Hu Guifei was about to tell the emperor about her father, she didn't expect Chen Xiao to come.
The key point is that the emperor seems to be quite interested in Chen Xiao's coming.
This made Hu Guifei a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.
So, I could only stand quietly on the side.
Not long after, Chen Xiao came in.
As soon as he saw the emperor, Chen Xiao smiled and stepped forward and bowed: "Minister, I've seen Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor smiled and said, "Chen Xiao, it's rare that you still remember to come to see me these days!" ”
Chen Xiao handed over the wine with a smile and said, "No, thinking that Your Majesty may not have drunk for a few days, I will send you some!" ”
"Well, I have a heart!"
The emperor's eyes lit up and he looked at the two jars of wine.
If he actually wants to drink it himself, he can have people sell some of it.
However, he is very self-disciplined, and many times he will restrain himself and drink less, so he will never take the initiative to let people buy Chen Xiao's wine.
But when Chen Xiao sent it, it was different. Once in a while, have a drink!
After putting the wine aside, the emperor said suspiciously, "Why don't you go to Jiu'er?" ”
Chen Xiao was secretly happy in his heart, hearing this, is the emperor tantamount to acquiescing in his relationship with Jiu'er?
Obviously, the emperor has a bit of that meaning.
He smiled and said, "I'll go to her later, and I'm here today, and there is one more thing, that is, ...... Your Majesty, your minister, you have a problem......"
"Well, what's the problem?" The emperor asked.
At this moment, Hu Guifei had a bad premonition.
I heard Chen Xiao say: "That's it...... Chen recently met a prisoner, who had a little background, but he bullied men and women, bullied others, danced on the street to play a good girl, and beat him in the street to stop his catch. Put the catcher to beat the ...... Almost paralyzed ........."
"Huh?" The emperor frowned: "And this is the matter?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, that man is so rampant that he doesn't pay any attention to the law and the court!" Chen Xiao said.
The emperor's face was ugly, and he said, "How did you deal with it?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister took someone today to arrest someone according to the law, but that person connived at the house slave and fought with the minister's soap, and returned ...... He also wounded all his ministers......"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao coughed, looking seriously injured!
"How are you hurt?" The emperor cared.
Chen Xiao coughed for a while: "Alas, internal injuries, a bit serious......"
The emperor said with a calm face: "What a bold man, there is such a thing in the imperial capital?" I simply didn't take the court into account. ”
Chen Xiao: "Who says it's not......"
Hu Guifei's face was ugly, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she heard the emperor say first:
"Chen Xiao, who is this person? How dare you do that? ”
Chen Xiao said: "It is said that it is a person with an identity background, but I don't know who it is...... At present, the minister has arrested someone, and according to his crime, it is enough to sentence him to death. However, the Criminal Department has not yet replied, and the minister is worried...... That guy's background is going to play tricks......"
"So you want to?" The emperor asked.
"The minister wants to be here with Your Majesty, please give an edict and let the minister behead him, no matter what background he has, to hell with him!" Chen Xiao said.
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, like this kind of person, you should be killed, Chen Xiao, I will give you a message to ...... the person you said."
"Your Majesty......" Hu Guifei suddenly interrupted.
The emperor was stunned: "Aifei, what's wrong?" ”
"After the concubine heard Lord Chen Tuiguan's words, she couldn't help but have some doubts......" Hu Guifei spoke.
Chen Xiao frowned, thinking to himself, who is this? Interrupting such an important event at a critical time?
"What doubts do you have about Concubine Ai?" The emperor asked.
"The concubine thinks, Lord Chen, how could he not find out the identity of that person? Or is it that Lord Chen doesn't want to tell His Majesty the identity of that person? ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but want to scold this concubine, thinking that it was your business.
Originally, in Chen Xiao's plan, the Criminal Department might not dare to agree to his trial, and the emperor knew that the person was Hu Guifei's father, and he might also take care of Hu Guifei's identity, and then he would not execute Hu Tianyou.
Therefore, Chen Xiao prepared to tell the emperor vaguely about this matter, asked the emperor for an edict, and went back to behead Hu Tianyou.
In this way, when asked by others, he said that His Majesty gave an edict.
Even if the emperor is very angry, Chen Xiao can say: I don't know that he is Hu Guifei's father, I only know that he has a background, Your Majesty, you gave the oracle......
In this way, isn't he Chen Xiao completely responsible?
It's a pity that now the plan is ruined by this woman.
The emperor looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Are you sure, you don't know the identity of that person?" ”
Chen Xiao said: "I don't know, besides, even if the identity background is not small, but if this crime is committed, it is committed, is it difficult, just because of the special identity, forget it?" ”
The emperor also felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "yes, then so be it, I give you power, you go ......"
"Your Majesty......"
Hu Guifei suddenly knelt on the ground.
The emperor was stunned, frowned and said, "Aifei, what are you doing?" Get up? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must promise the concubine ......" Hu Guifei cried directly.
That look, don't say it, it's really distressing.
The emperor helped Hu Guifei up and said, "What does this mean by Aifei?" You and I are also husband and wife, what do you ask for or not, if there is anything, say it! ”
Chen Xiao looked at this scene in a daze, and suddenly felt ...... I vaguely knew something.
After Hu Guifei got up, she said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, and the concubine's father is also guilty......"
"What's wrong?" The Emperor asked, confused.
Hu Guifei said: "If the concubine's guess is right, then the sinner Chen Tuiguan said should be the father of the concubine......"
"What?" The emperor was stunned.
At the same time, Chen Xiao sighed, yes, this woman is Hu Guifei......
The emperor looked at Chen Xiao, looked at Hu Guifei, and said:
"The sinner Chen Xiao said is your father?"
Hu Guifei knelt down again: "Your Majesty, my father's personality is indeed perverse, and sometimes he is a little confused, so he may do something wrong." But Your Majesty, the concubine can be sure that my father is definitely not a person who has committed a great crime, and there is a huge difference between what Lord Chen said! ”
The emperor frowned and asked Chen Xiao, "You arrested her father?" ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know it's her father, besides, what if it's her father? Molesting people on the street, beating and arresting them on the street, and letting his subordinates beat me as an official, is he not a great crime? Chen Xiao said.
Hu Guifei said angrily: "This is just your words, Your Majesty, Chen Xiao is a small and powerful official, and several princes have been bullied by him, not to mention my father?"
I think it was my dad who had a misunderstanding with someone else on the street, and his subordinates had a conflict with my dad, and he arrested my dad when he was upset, so it must be so. ”
Chen Xiao sneered: "The concubine will exculpate, but unfortunately, your father has already confessed, confessed to what he did, and the confession and case file have reached the Criminal Department, do you still want to exonerate your father?" ”
Hu Guifei said angrily: "Who knows if you are a trick?" ”
"Then the concubine Niangniang misunderstood me, not only did I not bend into a move, but I also kept reminding your father to think clearly and recruit again, it was his own impatient move.
And he was very happy when he signed and drew the pledge, and if he didn't believe it, he could read the confession, the name was beautifully signed, and the handprints were quite neatly pressed. ”
Chen Xiao sneered and told the truth.
