Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Imperial Complaint
Cao Yu frowned and asked, "Guest Wang, Your Highness wants to rent the land in our mansion, I don't know how to pay this rent, how much is it every year?" ”
Wang Wei smiled and said: "The rent will naturally not be less, but the money warehouse in the East Palace is tight, and when the East Palace has money, it will be paid to everyone." ”
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly.
Isn't it a hooligan to lease for a hundred years and keep silent about rent?
As for what will happen in a hundred years, who can say clearly.
To put it mildly, the East Palace wants to rent everyone's land, but to put it mildly, that is, Zhao Zhen will occupy all of everyone's land without paying a penny.
Wang Qinruo asked unhappily, "Guest Wang, is this what you mean, or is this what Your Highness means?" ”
Wang Wei said: "Of course it is what His Highness meant! ”
Syllable.
Cao Yu slapped the table and stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caught me and other people in the house to do coolies, which was the fault in the first place, and now, I wanted to save some face for His Highness, and I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I deliberately rushed to Pingshan in person to negotiate with His Highness, I never thought that His Royal Highness would make such a rude request, the old man forgave his fate, the old man planned to go to the official family and ask the official family to call the shots, what do you think?" ”
Wang Qinruo and the others got up one after another.
"I am willing to follow Cao Shumi to the official family to explain things clearly!"
"Yes, please make the decision for us!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone left Pingshan in indignation.
Wang Wei watched everyone leave, and said with a worried expression: "Your Highness has done too much in this matter, Cao Yong, Wang Qinruo and others are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they are deeply favored by the officials...... No, I need to send the news to my father-in-law as soon as possible. ”
As he spoke, Wang asked people to prepare a fast horse, and he rode quickly to Bianjing City.
……
The royal office hurried and hurried into the palace before Cao Yu and the others, and went straight to the Shishitang.
As soon as he saw Kou Zhun, Wang said breathlessly: "Huhu...... Father-in-law, it's not good to ...... big thing"
Kou Zhun listened to Wang's description, and his face changed.
Wang Zhi said: "Father-in-law, the only plan for today is that only you come forward to block Cao Bi and others, and then promise that you will go out, and persuade His Highness to release Cao Bi and others to calm the anger of each family." ”
Kou Zhun just wanted to take a step out, but suddenly turned back and said earnestly: "Uncle Hao, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple? ”
"Father-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Wang Wei looked puzzled.
Kou Zhun asked, "The old man asked you, did His Highness personally arrange this matter?" ”
Wang Wei nodded: "Yes!" ”
Kou Zhun asked again, "Is Your Highness a fool?" Is Your Highness the kind of person who messes around for no reason? ”
Wang Wei shook his head: "Absolutely not!" ”
Kou Zhun clapped his hands: "That's right, the reason why we think this matter is very serious is because we can't see through His Highness's true purpose, if you think about the incident when His Highness asked you to spread the news that he was obsessed with studying ice making arts, I thought His Highness was messing around, who knows, His Highness actually dressed Ding Wei and others in a group, and let the people of Bianjing City praise him......"
Wang Zhi was surprised: "What my father-in-law means is that His Royal Highness has already prepared for this matter, no matter how Cao Yu and others make trouble, His Royal Highness will be fine!" ”
Kou Zhun nodded: "The old man is sure of it, but this matter has a lot to do, and the old man racks his brains and can't figure out how His Highness can save himself!" ”
At this moment, an official walked in and said, "Kou Xianggong, Wang Guest, the next official saw Cao Shumi, Wang Shenzhi and others go to Yanqing Hall in a big way, but what happened?" ”
Kou Zhun and Wang Zhiweng's son-in-law glanced at each other, and rushed out almost at the same time.
……
Yanqing Palace.
Kou Zhun and Wang Yu hurriedly came here, just bumping into Cao Yong and others.
Cao Yu glanced at Kou Zhun and said with a smile: "Is Kou Xianggong here to be a lobbyist for His Highness?" Excuse me, I've already gone to Pingshan, I wanted to calm things down, who ever wanted to be humiliated, and now, I'm going to ask the official family to call the shots and give us justice! ”
Wang Qinruo said excitedly: "Kou Xianggong, you are the prince and the prince, and you are responsible for teaching the prince, and now the prince has done such a thing that people and gods are angry about, you are also responsible, what face do you have to serve as the chief assistant, if I were you, I would immediately resign from the prince and apologize to the people of the world!" ”
Kou Zhun said lightly: "Cao Shumi, Wang Shenzhi, you are all wrong, since His Royal Highness did it, the old man does not dare to be a lobbyist, and besides, His Royal Highness has the posture of a heavenly man, how can the old man He De teach His Highness, you don't have to talk nonsense!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all confused.
Cao Yu snorted coldly: "Does Xianggong Kou want to leave his responsibilities aside, when the official family asks for the guilt, I hope you can be so indifferent." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in entering the Yanqing Palace.
In the dormitory.
Emperor Zhao Heng has been getting better day by day since he stopped knocking Dan.
During this time, my body has also recovered a lot.
At this moment, he was looking at a piece of music intently, and when he saw the highlights, he even clapped his hands again and again.
Cao used a group of people to walk in violently, and Zhao Hengcai put down the chapter and asked curiously: "Kou Qing's family, why are you in such a hurry to see me?" ”
Kou Zhun hurriedly stood aside and shook his head: "Official, the old minister is fine, the old minister is here to see the excitement!" ”
Zhao Heng was stunned.
But when he saw Cao Yong stepping forward, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Official, you have to be the master for us and others...... His Royal Highness was young, and he was instructed to kidnap my grandson Cao Bi to Pingshan to burn lime, and pity my grandson who was sixteen years old, born white and pure, and grew so big, that he had to be served by someone to even dress him, and he had suffered like this, and he had only been there for a few days, and he was already skinny and skinny, and there was no one to ......."
Cao took advantage of the crying.
Wang Qinruo and others did not show weakness, and accused Zhao Zhen of his crimes, of course, Zhao Zhen is the crown prince, they dare not blame directly, but say that Zhao Zhen was instructed by others, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Zhi and others.
After speaking, the group of people all raised their heads and stared at Zhao Heng with blank eyes.
According to expectations, Zhao Heng will be furious, call the prince into the palace and scold him, and then punish Kou Zhun and others for teaching Wufang.
How do you know, after Zhao Heng listened, his face was unwavering, and he asked, "Are you finished?" ”
Cao Yu and the others nodded in unison.
The corners of Zhao Heng's mouth showed a trace of bitterness: "You guys, when I have lived in Yanqing Hall for a long time, are you blind and deaf?" Do you think I don't know that Cao Bi and the others went to Pingshan not to be kidnapped by the people of the East Palace, but out of their own volition, and they also signed a promise? ”
The crowd was shocked.
Cao Yu shouted: "The official family ......"
Zhao Heng suddenly waved his hand: "You guys, I'm so disappointed...... In this matter, I think that the prince is right, the prince farming in Pingshan is a good thing for the benefit of all the people and the consolidation of the society of the Great Song Dynasty, and now, just to rent your land, you will not agree, would you rather rent the land to the peasants than to give it to the East Palace? The prince farms the land, and the shortcomings are manpower, so is it so difficult for you to make some manpower? ”
Wang Qinruo opened his mouth and just wanted to cry, but heard Zhao Heng say: "Zhou Huaizheng, invite your family out." ”
More than a dozen ministers, including Kou Zhun and Wang Yuan, were all driven out of the Yanqing Palace.
