Seeing the statement of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, a trace of complicated and indescribable emotions flashed in Emperor Deqing's eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Then, Emperor Deqing's tone was gentle, and he said slowly: "Oh? Does the prince have an opinion on this matter? Go ahead. ”

The crown prince Zhu Heyu said: "Father, yesterday morning, after the young master Guo Tang impeached Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, his relatives have been in trouble one after another, if this matter is just a coincidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

What's more, according to Yin Huo Zhengyuan of Shuntian Mansion, there are also many strange things! According to the government's procedures, even if someone reports some crimes of the 'Sitong Commercial Bank' to Shuntianfu, Huo Zhengyuan should first investigate and collect evidence and confirm the authenticity of the report before taking action, instead of directly sending people to seal down the 'Sitong Commercial Bank' and even arrest all the owners of the 'Sitong Commercial Bank'.

Let's talk about the matter of Guozijian, as far as Erchen knows, just before Guozijian expelled Guo Shaofu's grandson Guo Mingtai, Zhan Shanchang, the household servant, personally went to Guozijian to visit several officials of Guozijian, and then it didn't take long for Guozijian to remove Guo Mingtai! It seems that this matter is not so simple as a coincidence!

Moreover, whether it is Yin Huo Zhengyuan of Shuntian Mansion or Zhan Shanchang, the servant of the household department, these two have always had a close relationship with Zhao Junchen, and their various actions may not be untargeted! In Erchen's view, even if these things are not Zhao Junchen's deliberate revenge for Guo Shaofu's impeachment, I am afraid that some officials are deliberately trying to curry favor with Zhao Junchen and deliberately make it difficult to suppress Guo Shaofu. ”

Hearing what the crown prince Zhu and Yu said, Huo Zhengyuan, Zhan Shanchang and others all changed their faces slightly.

This time, Zhao Junchen's methods of punishing Guo Tang were quite fast and intense, the advantage was that it was beneficial to Shuwei, and the disadvantage was that the traces of revenge were too obvious, and it was easy for people to grasp the handle.

Obviously, Prince Zhu and Yu keenly discovered this flaw.

After a pause, the crown prince Zhu and Yu said again: "Moreover, the ministers think that this matter has a great impact and must not be underestimated, if the officials will suffer retaliation for impeaching the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, who will dare to tell the truth in the temple in the future?" At that time, the court's speech will be blocked, and some officials will be able to unscrupulously deceive their superiors and subordinates, and won't the court program be completely chaotic? Therefore, Erchen thinks that the imperial court must uphold justice for Guo Shaofu this time, severely punish unhealthy trends, and must not let this matter affect the words and paths of the imperial court, and hope that his father will be clear! ”

As the words of the crown prince Zhu and Yu fell, Lu Chunxiao, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also stepped out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the various behaviors of the Shuntian Mansion and the Guozijian against Guo Shaofu yesterday are by no means so simple, and someone must be behind the scenes!" Because the matter of Shuntianfu and Guozijian is not an isolated case! As far as the minister knows, yesterday there were still people secretly contacting the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, planning to impeach Young Master Guo in a big way this morning! Your Majesty, in just one day, so many things have happened against Guo Shaofu and his clansmen one after another, and it would be too far-fetched to say that these things are all coincidences. ”

Then, under the leadership of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and LΓΌ Chunxiao, Qingliu officials came out one after another to show their support, intending to characterize Guo Tang's affairs as Zhao Junchen's deliberate revenge, and strongly demanded that Emperor Deqing uphold justice for Guo Tang.

For a time, under the influence of the Qinglius' statements, Guo Tang won the sympathy of many officials.

*

"It seems that Zhu Heyu has indeed progressed, and he did not confront me with a single tendon, nor did he defend Guo Tang head-on, but avoided the important and trivialized, and never mentioned whether Guo Min and Guo Mingtai had been wronged, but repeatedly emphasized that Guo Tang was deliberately retaliated against by me, and also linked this matter to the words of the imperial court, so as to affect the judgment of Emperor Deqing......"

Looking at the performance of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and the Qinglius, Zhao Junchen secretly admired it in his heart.

However, Zhao Junchen's performance was still calm and calm, even if the crown prince Zhu Heyu and Qingliu pointed the finger at Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen's expression still did not change, just waiting to see the situation change.

In fact, just this level of trouble, Zhao Junchen did not intend to take action personally.

Under the hint of Zhao Junchen's eyes, all the "Zhao Party" officials did not have any fear, and they also came out one after another. The sub-party "competes against each other and does not give an inch!"

Zuo Lanshan first stepped out of the ranks, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the statements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others seem to have some truth, but the whole article is all conjecture, without any factual basis, and it is completely unbelievable!" If you can slander the court members just by making some speculations out of nothing, the future situation in the court will inevitably be turbulent and chaotic, and it will be out of control. ”

Then, Zhan Shanchang's expression was indignant, as if he had been greatly wronged, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he has always had a friendship with several adults of the Guozijian, and he often meets, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has blamed all the things of Guo Shaofu's grandson Guo Mingtai's expulsion from the Guozijian just because of the matter of the meeting between the ministers and the Guozijian, and even such a baseless accusation, the minister is deeply chilled, and I implore His Majesty to uphold justice for the minister!" ”

Then, Huo Zhengyuan had a clear conscience, slowly stepped out of the ranks, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the minister sending someone to seal down the 'Sitong Commercial Bank' is completely official, just performing the duties of Shuntian Mansion Yin!" As for the minister who arrested Guo Min, the younger brother of Guo Shaofu, it was only because Guo Min was the owner of the 'Sitong Boat Line'! It has nothing to do with Guo Shaofu! Is it difficult to achieve it because Guo Min is the brother of Guo Shaofu, so the minister has to ignore the law and discipline and open the net? Didn't that minister live up to His Majesty's trust? Therefore, the minister has a clear conscience about the arrest of Guo Min by Shuntian Mansion! If you do it again, the minister will still arrest Guo Min! ”

Speaking of this, Huo Zhengyuan changed his words and said: "The imperial court has its own laws and disciplines, and we and other court officials should set an example and never engage in favoritism!" Because this is related to the foundation of the imperial court's governance of the country! However, after the arrest of Guo Min, just because Guo Min is the brother of Guo Shaofu, the minister is facing great pressure, His Royal Highness the Prince, Lu Du Yushi, Cheng Ge Lao and others have put pressure on the minister, and they do not ask the reason why Shuntianfu arrested Guo Min, but strongly ask the minister to release Guo Min as soon as possible! Under the pressure of all parties, the minister still insisted on doing official business, and he never thought that he would be viciously attacked by many people this morning! …… Your Majesty, the minister is still the same sentence, the minister is just sticking to the law and discipline of the court! The minister has a clear conscience! ”

With the statements of the "Zhao Party" and especially Huo Zhengyuan's impassioned speech, the "Zhao Party" began a counteroffensive.

Then, "too. The "sub-party" and the "Zhao party" began a fierce argument, "too. The sub-party "accused" the "Zhao party" of deliberately retaliating against Guo Tang, and the "Zhao party" accused "too. The sub-party "favoritism and interference in the law and discipline of the imperial court, both sides insisted on their own views, but avoided talking about the accusations of the other party, and the situation fell into a stalemate."

As for Emperor Deqing, he has always been silent and thoughtful, just quietly listening to the "Tai. Zidang" and "Zhao Dang" debated, did not express any opinions, his eyes sometimes swept to Zhao Junchen, sometimes stayed on the crown prince Zhu Heyu, his eyes couldn't help but fluctuate, as if he was a little hesitant in his heart.

After a long time, I watched "too. The conflict between the "Zi Party" and the "Zhao Party" became more and more intense, and Emperor Deqing seemed to have finally made up his mind and said: "Don't argue! All of them are members of the imperial court, but they are red-faced and hoarse, what kind of system do they become? ”

With the rebuke of Emperor Deqing, "too. The "sub-party" and the "Zhao party" finally stopped arguing and retreated into the queue of hundreds of officials, waiting for Emperor Deqing to express his opinion.

*

At this time, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was secretly relieved when he saw that Emperor Deqing finally opened his mouth to express his position.

Just now, between the two factions of heated debate, "too. After all, their arguments seem to be above board, but there is no evidence, but there is some suspicion of interfering with the law and discipline and slandering the ministers. The flaws of the sub-party are not let go, so "too. The sub-party gradually became unable to resist.

The crown prince Zhu and Yu did not expect the "princelings" to defeat the "Zhao party" through a debate and quarrel.

However, according to Zhu Heyu's thoughts, Emperor Deqing will definitely support "Tai. Sub-party"! As long as there is the support of Emperor Deqing, "too. The "sub-party" will definitely be able to defeat the "Zhao party" this time

The reason is very simple, Emperor Deqing can only support the "too. The sub-party "can maintain its imperial majesty!"

After all, after Emperor Deqing punished Guo Tang yesterday morning, Guo Tang's impeachment of Zhao Junchen should be settled, if Zhao Junchen still retaliates against Guo Tang, it will be unconvinced of Emperor Deqing's decision, and it will be against Emperor Deqing's yang and yin, Emperor Deqing will naturally not be happy when he sees such a situation!

In addition, the crown prince Zhu and Yu just talked about the far-reaching impact of Guo Tang's affairs on the court's speech, and the court's speech is closely related to the emperor's authority, if the court's speech is closed, then the emperor will become blind and deaf, and can only let the courtiers deceive, which is something that Emperor Deqing must not tolerate!

Considering these circumstances, Emperor Deqing's attitude is also obvious - this is also one of the reasons why the crown prince Zhu Heyu is willing to stand up and support the young master Guo Tang!

I have to say that the crown prince Zhu and Yu can take these things into account, and they have indeed made a lot of progress, and if it is an ordinary time, his judgment cannot be wrong.

But the crown prince Zhu Heyu didn't know that Emperor Deqing had already made up his mind to depose him! I just haven't found the right time yet!

However, Zhu Heyu has the strong support of the Qinglius, if the Deqing Emperor wants to depose Zhu Heyu, he will definitely be strongly opposed by the Qinglius, if the Qingliu choose to carry it to the end, maybe the situation in the temple will be turbulent.

Therefore, if Emperor Deqing wanted to depose Zhu and Yu, he must first weaken the influence of Qingliu's power.

Now, because of Guo Tang's matter, the crown prince Zhu Heyu led the Qingliu officials to support Guo Tang one after another, and it was also a great opportunity for Emperor Deqing to weaken Qingliu!

Therefore, the crown prince Zhu and Yu are still miscalculated this time!

*

said that under the attention of hundreds of officials, Emperor Deqing finally slowly opened his mouth.

Emperor Deqing first glanced deeply at the crown prince Zhu Heyu, then turned his gaze to Zhao Junchen, and said: "Zhao Junchen, this matter is also related to you, many officials think that Guo Tang's matter is your deliberate revenge, but why have you kept silent?" Could it be unreasonable? ”

Emperor Deqing's words seemed to have the meaning of questioning Zhao Junchen, but the crown prince Zhu Heyu was shocked, and suddenly looked up at Emperor Deqing, his eyes were full of incredulity.

The so-called emperor's mental technique, every move is profound!

Nowadays, "Zhao Dang" and "Tai. The controversy of the "sub-party" has reached a stalemate, and no one can convince anyone, and Emperor Deqing took the initiative to ask Zhao Junchen's attitude, which is equivalent to giving Zhao Junchen the opportunity to break the balance and guide the situation forward!

In this way, it is self-evident who Emperor Deqing is supporting.

In fact, not to mention that the crown prince Zhu Heyu was deeply surprised, even the scheming Zhou Shangjing, after hearing Emperor Deqing's statement, couldn't help but shake his body slightly, and looked up at Emperor Deqing, his eyes were full of inquiry.

However, Emperor Deqing did not pay attention to the gaze of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and Zhou Shangjing, he just stared at Zhao Junchen tightly, waiting for Zhao Junchen's answer.

Zhao Junchen was not surprised by Emperor Deqing's attitude, this was something he had expected a long time ago.

I saw Zhao Junchen slowly stepping out of the ranks, his expression was still calm, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister's attitude has been said just now, and the minister does not know about the accusations of Guo Shaofu and others, and he does not admit it!" ”

Then, Zhao Junchen said again: "However, since His Royal Highness the Prince, Guo Shaofu and others have involved the matter on the minister, the minister will say a few more words!" This matter is actually very easy to solve, as long as you send someone to track it down! Did Guo Shaofu's brother Guo Min break the law and discipline? Should Guo Mingtai, the grandson of Guo Shaofu, be removed from the Guozijian? These things are not difficult to check, as long as these things are investigated, then the truth will naturally be clear!

If Guo Min is indeed guilty, if Guo Mingtai did violate the rules of Guozijian, then Shuntianfu's decision to arrest Guo Min and Guozijian to expel Guo Mingtai is not wrong, then no one deliberately retaliates against Guo Shaofu, everything is just the official business of Shuntianfu and Guozijian! On the contrary, if Guo Min is innocent and Guo Mingtai does not violate the rules of Guozijian, then Shuntianfu and Guozijian are deliberately targeting Guo Shaofu, and as long as they continue to investigate and follow the vine, they will naturally be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Scholar Huo's statement is the most correct, the imperial court has its own laws and disciplines, and in front of the imperial court's laws and disciplines, everyone should be treated fairly!" Whether it is the common people or the relatives of the young master of the dynasty, as long as they violate the law and discipline, they should be justly tried in accordance with the law and discipline of the court! All kinds of things about Guo Shaofu are actually very simple, everything is handled in accordance with the laws and disciplines of the imperial court, and there is no need to have unnecessary arguments at all. ”

Listening to Zhao Junchen's statement, when he opened his mouth to "law and discipline" and closed his mouth to "justice", everyone in the Imperial Palace had strange faces.

If you want to talk about violations of law and discipline, very few people in the Manchu Dynasty can be compared with Zhao Junchen, but I didn't expect Zhao Junchen to talk about "law and discipline" and "justice" in a big way.

In fact, Zhao Junchen has never rejected words such as "law and discipline" and "justice", as long as these words are beneficial to Zhao Junchen, then Zhao Junchen will definitely be a staunch defender of the court's law and discipline.

Like now, for example.

In a way, such "justice of law and order" is also a kind of irony, but such "justice" is the mainstream of the past and present!

The words "justice" and "fairness" are often compared, but "justice" does not mean "fairness", because not everyone can get "justice", and many people can avoid "justice", so the word "fairness" is impossible to talk about.

At this time, Zhao Junchen kept pursuing "justice of law and discipline", but he was just asking others, if it was Zhao Junchen's turn, I am afraid it would be another matter.

On the other side, hearing Zhao Junchen's complaint, Emperor Deqing also had a strange face, and he only felt that Zhao Junchen was extremely thick-skinned.

However, Emperor Deqing still agreed with Zhao Junchen's point of view, nodded and said: "Zhao Aiqing is reasonable, this matter is not difficult to do, as long as the investigation continues, the truth will be known!" ”

Then, Emperor Deqing raised his voice and said: "In this case, I will pass on my will, the case of the 'Four Links Commercial Bank' will be jointly tried by the three law divisions from now on, and the matter of Guo Mingtai's expulsion from Guozijian will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for detailed investigation, these two matters are not complicated, I hope to see the conclusion tomorrow morning!" ”

As Emperor Deqing's words fell, everyone in the "Zhao Party" was overjoyed. The sub-party "everyone was gloomy.

If these two things are strictly investigated, it will naturally be a serious blow to the "too. Sub-party "Unfavorable!

In fact, "too. The troubles of the "sub-party" are just the beginning.
