Chapter 251: Cut off the prince and demote him to a concubine
How to punish King Ke Xiao Ming, this is a difficult problem! This question should be a headache for the Zongren Mansion Sect Commander, why do you want to ask the seven princes?
The seven of them were full of complaints, but they didn't dare to resist and say: It's my business.
Fortunately, Xiao Lie, the eldest prince, began to answer, which was a blessing in the deep misfortune of the other six people.
So the six of them looked sideways and looked at Xiao Lie.
Of course, His Majesty's gentle, kind, and listening gaze was also locked on Xiao Lie, which made Xiao Lie feel like he was on pins and needles.
Who the hell has to come first? Why didn't I become a prince when the hell was I?
The heart is roaring, and I can only hide my complaints in my stomach.
The expression on Xiao Lie's face stiffened slightly, and then he got up and hugged his fists and said: "Father, Concubine Yun has gone against the grain, corrupted the rules, her heart is vicious, and her sin is unforgivable. And King Ke aided the abuse, knowing the law and breaking the law, it should not be easily forgiven, but considering that the queen mother was only slightly ill and did not cause much harm, the son suggested that King Ke be detained for a year, and copy the "Book of Filial Piety" every day, and after a year, see how he repented. ”
After hesitating, Xiao Lie decided to intercede for Xiao Ming.
Emperor Xia nodded, looked at King Chu again, and asked, "What about you?" ”
Xiao Yiheng snorted coldly and said: "Father, the queen is the mother of a country, fortunately, the son found out in time, otherwise the queen mother will have to worry about her life, this kind of murder of the mother of the country must be severely punished to set an example!" The opinion of the ministers is to ask the Zongren Mansion to deal with it according to the law, and it must not be tolerated. ”
Emperor Xia nodded again, then looked at the others and said, "You all should talk about it." ”
Xiao Ze, the third prince, hesitated for a moment and said, "Erchen thinks that King Jin has a point!" ”
Xiao Feng, the fourth prince, grasped the method, and immediately said: "Erchen thinks that what King Chu said makes sense!" ”
It was Xiao Rui's turn, anyway, the opportunity for King Ke to compete for the crown prince had been canceled, and with a forgiving and forgiving attitude, Xiao Rui decided to support the second prince Xiao Yiheng's statement and deal with it according to the law.
"Erchen supports the king of Chu." Xiao Rui said respectfully.
Xiao Jing and Xiao Yiheng didn't deal with each other, and replied: "The queen mother has her own natural appearance, although Concubine Yun's methods are despicable and vicious, but King Ke was also threatened by Concubine Yun and committed it, and the son agreed with King Jin's point of view and gave him a chance to reform himself." ”
In the end, only Xiao Yan was left, and when he was about to open his mouth to express his opinion, Emperor Xia suddenly waved his hand and said, "Xiao Jiu, forget it, don't say it." ”
Xiao Yan: ......
He looked at Emperor Xia with resentment, why don't you say it, I am also a prince!
Emperor Xia sighed and said, "The reason why I asked for your opinion is because I am indecisive, so I will ask you so that I can give me some reference." King Ke did mess around this time, and even used poison to murder the queen, although it did not cause a big mistake, but such a bad act made me angry. After the interrogation of the Zongren Mansion, Concubine Yun bluntly said that it was he who threatened King Ke, which caused King Ke to be involved and made a big mistake. There is some truth in this, but King Ke is not a child anymore, he can't even tell what he can do and what he can't do, which is simply a royal shame. ”
Emperor Xia's tone was very regretful and did not show much anger.
The seven princes nodded secretly, expecting that His Majesty was also in trouble, but who knew that His Majesty said:
"So I decided to cut off the title and title of the sixth prince, Xiao Mingke, and demote him to a concubine! The Cabinet will announce to the world! ”
!
The seven princes looked stunned, Your Majesty's turn was too violent, even Xiao Yiheng was surprised. I never thought that His Majesty would be so decisive and directly cut off the prince's title and demoted to a concubine, so what did you ask the prince for his opinion?
But then, the princes were stunned and then chilled.
Your Majesty, this is asking for opinions, but a straightforward beating! It's here to beat the seven princes!
If your hands and feet stretch too long and reach my side, don't say that you are a prince, you are a prince, and it is a matter of one sentence to be demoted to a concubine!
Xiao Rui really wanted to applaud, his father's trick was beautiful, I believe that after this incident, any prince will be honest, and dare not target His Majesty and the harem, unless you think you can hide it from Your Majesty, but unfortunately, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high.
At this time, a smile bloomed on Emperor Xia's calm face, and he said: "Okay, King Ke's matter is solved, you don't have to worry about him, although he is demoted to a concubine, but after all, he has royal blood, and the Zongren Mansion will take good care of him, as an elder brother and younger brother, you should also care more about him." ”
"Yes!" All the princes responded in unison.
Emperor Xia nodded, he called the princes here today just to beat. Dare to put a poisonous hand into the harem, this is absolutely unforgivable, if they don't beat hard, they don't know how powerful, and they will make mistakes, and then they won't be able to be clean.
The battle between the princes, you can compete casually, you can use any trick, as long as you don't know about it, after all, it is a duel between you.
Just like Xiao Yiheng killed Xiao Lie, His Majesty knew about it, and it was only a small punishment, and in the end, Xiao Lie grabbed Xiao Yiheng's handle, and Emperor Xia asked Zhou Ming to resign and completely quell the farce.
Compared with King Ke's punishment, Xiao Yiheng's punishment was too light.
Scanning the seven princes in the hall, Emperor Xia sighed with emotion, in less than a year, the two princes were out, faster than he imagined, so next, it's time to give them some bigger burdens, I don't know if they can hold on.
"Haibanban, you just said that Song Ci entered the palace?" Emperor Xia came back to his senses and asked Xiang Hai Dafu.
Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Song Ci is already waiting outside the palace, and the city that he just entered at noon is full of dust. ”
"Let him hurry from Jinhua Mansion, the boat and car are tired, and he is tired." Xia Huang smiled: "Let him in." ”
Then, Emperor Xia looked at the seven princes with suspicious faces and explained: "Now that the position of the left waiter of the Criminal Department is vacant, and there is no suitable official to fill it, I just remembered him and summoned him back." ”
Xiao Lie's breathing was suddenly short, and he finally knocked down Zhou Mingfa, he thought that the position of the left attendant of the Criminal Department was within reach, but he didn't expect His Majesty to choose someone else!
Song Ci? Never heard of it! What a person!
Xiao Yiheng was suddenly overjoyed, he had heard of Song Ci, who not only judged the case like a god, but also was fair and law-abiding, and was on duty as a local prosecutor all the year round, with an excellent reputation among the people, and more importantly, there was no prince to win him over. If he can win him over, it will be considered a remedy, and it is not too late for this.
Xiao Rui was also surprised, he didn't expect Song Ci to be promoted by His Majesty to be the left waiter of the Criminal Department, but immediately, he was overjoyed.
Song Ci is a descending figure, as long as he completes his appeal, he can guarantee loyalty, so he firmly controls the position of the left servant of the criminal department, and as we all know, Shang Shukang of the criminal department is already an adult, and he will soon be a minister, and when the time comes, the left and right waiters must be capable candidates, especially the left waiter, who has a greater chance of promotion.
In addition, with the help of this imperial examination, Zhou Mingfa, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, will soon be ruined, and when Cui Changwen takes the position, he is also a person who supports him. Although the Ministry of Rites is the head of the Shangshu, the Shangshu Lu Expedition of the Ministry of Rites is a cabinet scholar, and he has no time to manage the Ministry of Rites at all, and the left and right waiters are in charge, and the left waiters are the main ones! Cui Changwen's ascension to the position is equivalent to mastering the Ministry of Rites!
Who would dare to say that he has no connections to speak of?
The Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites are their own people, and no matter how hard they work hard, the Ministry of Works, which is still in the blank area, will be their own people, and it will be perfect!
Xiao Rui's heart was full of excitement, and Song Ci also entered the palace to see him.
Seeing the room full of princes, Song Ci was a little surprised, but he stepped forward calmly and respectfully bowed: "Weichen Hangzhou has sent Song Ci to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”
Emperor Xia smiled: "Aiqing is flat, give a seat!" ”
Tables and chairs were brought from the palace by the eunuchs and placed at the back.
Song Ci suddenly felt the grace of the saint, and after giving up his hand, he carefully sat on the chair.
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "Song Aiqing, I urgently summoned you back to the capital, and I have a heavy responsibility entrusted to you." Your political achievements in Hangzhou are in my eyes, the eleven prefectures in Hangzhou, their unjust, false and wrongful cases are the fewest in the Great Xia Kingdom, thanks to Song Aiqing's mention of prison, Song Aiqing has the ability and courage, then you have to give full play to your talents, if it is only limited to the territory of one state, it is overkill, so I give you the position of the left servant of the criminal department, Song Aiqing, can you have the confidence to assist Kang Shangshu, cooperate with the right servant Wang, manage the criminal department for me, and take charge of the decree of the world's punishment, so as to praise the righteous people? ”
Song Ci's breathing was short of breath in an instant, what should he do if the Holy Lord values himself so much today?
Bow down and die!
"Weichen is willing, liver and brain, to repay His Majesty's holy grace." Song Ci bowed deeply, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
Emperor Xia smiled: "Aiqing is exempt." King Xian, help me up Lord Song. ”
Xiao Rui came late, so he sat next to Song Ci behind, he quickly got up and helped Song Ci up, and said in a low voice: "The position of the left waiter, the capable person lives in it, and the adult is the best choice." ”
Song Ci felt King Xian's respect and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your respect." ”
It's just that what I didn't expect was that after Song Ci got up, he gave up his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Emperor Xia was stunned and asked in surprise.
Song Ci said in a deep voice: "Five years ago, the twenty-three members of the Zheng family in Huzhou Mansion were killed! The minister mentioned the prison in Hangzhou, and found that this tragic case was full of suspicions, and it was not the act of the thief king who had been beheaded, and I implore His Majesty to agree to allow the minister to re-investigate the case! ”
Eleven prefectures in Hangzhou, Hangzhou Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Lishui Prefecture, Taizhou Mansion, Wenzhou Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, Quzhou Mansion, and Zhoushan Mansion, Song Ci is the envoy of Hangzhou according to the Inspectorate Department, and is naturally also responsible for the criminal case of Huzhou Mansion. However, the tragedy of destroying the door was shocking for a while, His Majesty was furious at that time, and personally sent the three divisions to supervise it, and finally after the criminal department verified, it was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for verification, and then sent to Dali Temple Pingyun, the case has been closed, and the murderer Wang Fang has been ambushed, and now he suddenly wants to overturn the case, but he has slapped the face of the three divisions.
Emperor Xia was stunned, recalled, and said: "I remember, at that time, I arranged for the three divisions to be interrogated, and at that time, the secretary of the Criminal Department was Kang Youcheng, and the Dali Siqing was not Yue Chong, but the Duke of Sui, and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the late Qian Feng, right?" ”
Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed these three adults. ”
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "This matter is suspended, when you are familiar with the official affairs of the Criminal Department, and you are communicating with Lord Sansi, the old case from five years ago is not in a hurry." ”
"Yes!" Song Ci expected this consequence, so he did not ask for a strong request, but took the opportunity to propose, first let His Majesty have a psychological preparation, because according to his inference, the magnates involved in the tragedy were high and powerful.
