Chapter Fifty-Three: Pushing the Boat Down the River to Eliminate the Guest Wei
After speaking, Chongzhen went to sit on the dragon chair, waited for Wei Zhongxian to approach, tried his best to make his face full of smiles, and asked: "Wei Aiqing, what is wronged, you don't have to be polite, just come." ”
Wei Zhongxian glanced at him secretly, and saw that his attitude towards himself was no different from that of the Emperor of the Apocalypse back then, and he felt that he had been prepared, so he immediately crawled on the ground as planned, crying bitterly, as if he was heartbroken.
After a long time, Wei Zhongxian finally stopped crying, but he was still full of grievances and cried: "After the return of the Apocalypse, the old minister was ordered by holy order, first supervised the enthronement ceremony, and then took charge of the funeral of the Apocalypse, and did not dare to slack off a little. ”
Chongzhen had been watching coldly, and when he finished speaking, he cried again, and just saw Wang Chengen lead the courtiers in, and said sarcastically: "Wei Aiqing really worked hard." ”
As he spoke, he handed Qian Jiazheng's recital to Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him quickly, and said, "Wang Chengen, this is Qian Gongsheng's recital, you read it to Wei Aiqing, who has worked hard." Wei Aiqing, you have to listen carefully. ”
Wang Chengen stretched out his hand to take it, straightened his face, took a step forward, cleared his throat, and read it in a frustrated tone. This Qian Jiazheng is also a talented person, his sentences are capable, but he hits the nail on the head with every word.
The courtiers immediately understood Chongzhen's intentions, or gloated and watched quietly, or they were overjoyed and eager to try, or they were secretly frightened that Wei Zhongxian would not be able to end the beast fight.
Wei Zhongxian was stunned: "As expected, Chongzhen hasn't held back any good farts for so long, oh, he's going to run our house." Hmph, it's a shame that we asked Xu Yingyuan in advance. This Xu Yingyuan is worthy of being the eunuch of the Xinwang Mansion and understands Chongzhen. Well, let's answer as he says. ”
Thinking secretly, after listening to Wang Chengen read it, he didn't have time for Chongzhen to speak, and said first: "Your Majesty, the old minister has listened to his ears, this Qian Gongsheng is completely malicious and framed out of nothing." ”
Chongzhen let out an "oh" and deliberately asked, "Doesn't Wei Aiqing recognize it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said stiffly: "Back to the emperor, the old minister did not admit it, in order to prove his innocence, the old minister asked the emperor to allow the old minister to resign from his current position due to illness, the old minister is too tired these days." ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Xu Yingyuan was just one of his gambling friends, and after helping him make up his mind, he was scared, and then confessed to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen saw that he was really saying as Xu Yingyuan confessed, and immediately said, "Accurate." After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh, by the way, the imperial brother loved Aiqing so much during his lifetime, and Aiqing just went to the White Tiger Hall to guard the spirit of the imperial brother after he resigned." ”
"Isn't he humiliating our family? Since the apocalypse ascended the throne, how many times has our family been humiliated? Alas, it seems that Chongzhen, the little lady, doesn't want to let go of our family. What to do? Xu Yingyuan is right, go to the knighthood to save his life. Hmph, with our family's savings over the years, as long as we save our lives, won't we still enjoy endless glory? ”
After making up his mind, Wei Zhongxian simply got up and said, "Presumably the emperor has believed in the trumped-up charges of the old ministers, what does this mean?" This shows that the holy will is tired, and the old minister happens to be tired, and the old minister asks the emperor to allow the old minister to resign from the title, the coupon, and the field. ”
When the courtiers saw him get up, they thought that he was going to openly confront Chongzhen, so they couldn't help but secretly raise their hearts to their throats and watch how Chongzhen responded.
Because he knew his strategy, Chongzhen was not nervous, and after he finished speaking, he said again: "Accurate." ”
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he gave a salute and said, "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, the old minister retired." With that, he turned and walked.
When the courtiers saw it, they couldn't help but turn to Chongzhen together.
Chongzhen was thinking: "The old thief is still so rampant at this time!" How can I allow you to corrupt my heavenly might? Thinking about it, hatred arose from his heart, and said loudly: "Wait-"
Wei Zhongxian turned around and asked, "Does the emperor still have orders?" ”
Chongzhen had a cold face and said, "The four national color skirts have ecstasy incense on the top, and the little eunuch in the compound wall of the Qianqing Palace, doesn't Wei Aiqing know either?" ”
Can Wei Zhongxian know? The so-called ecstasy incense is actually an aphrodisiac that can be played naturally, and the purpose is to control Chongzhen. If one plan fails, another plan will be reborn, and a small eunuch will be ordered to sit in the compound wall, holding ecstasy incense, in an attempt to spread it through the air in order to achieve the goal.
Of course he didn't know that Chongzhen was highly nervous during this time, not only did he not eat the food they provided, but everything they sent in and came into contact with had to be carefully searched, so how could he not find it?
He was thinking: "This little lady raised Chongzhen is really a god, and she even knows this!" This is not one of those unwarranted performances, if we admit it, I am afraid that the head on our neck will not be able to be saved. ”
Thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but peek at Chongzhen, but when he saw Chongzhen staring at him coldly, he panicked and prevaricated: "Those national colors are all selected by the Fengsheng Lady Keshi, and the old minister really doesn't know." ”
"I'm starting to prevaricate, hmph, it seems that the old thief has relented." Chongzhen thought secretly, his confidence increased, he got up, and sneered: "The Hakka family's choice? Ask the courtiers who are here today, and if there is one of them who does not know your relationship? ”
Listening to Chongzhen's firmness, Wei Zhongxian involuntarily turned to the courtiers and looked at them pitifully, the meaning was obvious: Please, help our family say a few good words.
"The flying and domineering nine thousand years old actually has today!" Secretly sighing, the courtiers were afraid of being contaminated with bad luck, so they turned their heads away and disdained, and began to say in their mouths: "That's it, don't talk about all of us, even the whole world, who doesn't know?" You can't get rid of it! ……”
This is exactly the situation that Chongzhen has been striving for and eagerly looking forward to these days! He began to pace slowly, allowing the courtiers to scramble to count the alleged crimes of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan.
When the number faded, he coughed violently, and the courtiers knew that he had something to say, and fell silent.
He glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who was dejected, and said in a cold, almost piercing voice: "I have heard that the evil is exhausted, and the power of the world is controlled; There are no generals, and there is a precept in place. Our country is clearly hanging, severely punishing Dahan, and the weight of the code is also. I have read the repeated accusations of rebelling against Wei Zhongxian, and I have already learned about it.
The first emperor of the stolen thought of the left and right side of the slight labor, a little false favor, loyalty and sage did not repay the country's reward, colluded with the Hakka clan, monopolized the private planting of the party, stole the authority of the country, and was good at prestige, it is difficult to enumerate, and it is ...... to briefly count them."
After that, Chongzhen's chest was still rising and falling. After a long time, he said again: "I have decided that Wei Zhongxian will be relegated to the ancestral tomb of Fengyang, the central capital, and the Ke family will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau to work and confiscate all their family property. ”
Wei Zhongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, said goodbye, and packed up his way to Fengyang, the central capital.
The Ke clan was waiting for Wei Zhongxian's news, and the two teams of eunuchs came in coldly, and the leader announced the holy decree, and with a wave of his hand, one team searched indiscriminately in her house like a headless fly, and the other team did not allow her to distinguish and escorted him to the Huanyi Bureau. Where had the Hakka been so humiliated that they had crashed into the wall and died?
