Chapter 981: Cross-examination
After the eunuch finally recovered his strength, he surrendered his hand and said to Lan Ziyi:
"It's not silver, the slave maid has the silver of Wei Hou, and her face is already bright, where do you dare to have any other thoughts. It was Father-in-law Long's side, and when I came out of the military plane, I met Father-in-law Long and sent someone to him, saying that he wanted to ask the guards to come over. ”
The Tao brothers couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard this, and Lan Ziyi smiled and said:
"It turned out that Father-in-law Long called me, Ziyi will go now, please ask Father-in-law to lead the way."
The eunuch heard Lan Ziyi's wish to go, and thankfully went forward, and Tao Zhuhu took the opportunity to come to Lan Ziyi's side and said:
"As soon as the matter in the Military Aircraft Department is over, the second wave of people from Father-in-law Long has arrived, and someone from the Military Aircraft Department must have sent a message to the celebrant and supervisor."
Lan Ziyi was already ready to step forward to follow, and when he heard Tao Zhuhu's words, he only said:
"There's nothing strange about that."
On the way to the celebrant eunuch, the eunuch has been explaining to Lan Ziyi what happened in the military aircraft department just now, he vigorously said how Zhang Mingyue was a bastard, how those scholars in the military aircraft department were lost, and said how ignorant the ministers of the court and the central government were, Lan Ziyi had been smiling at the eunuch, he knew what the eunuch wanted to say, it was nothing more than Zhang Mingyue who was the last bad thing for the emperor's brother, not him, the walking eunuch of the celebrant eunuch. It wasn't until Lan Ziyi said to the eunuch at the door of the celebrant eunuch:
"Father-in-law, don't worry, just now in the military aircraft department, you have said enough words for the emperor and the celebrant of ceremonies, and you have helped me a lot, I am not the kind of person who harms others and benefits myself, and today's incident will not benefit me if it hurts you, I will tell the truth in front of Father-in-law Long, you can rest assured."
The eunuch got Lan Ziyi's promise and relaxed a little, he was just about to lead Lan Ziyi to the entrance, but he was stopped by the eunuch guarding the door, the eunuch said:
"Senior brother, please stay, Gonggong Long only sent the guards to go in."
At the same time, the eunuch guarding the door also stopped the Tao brothers and led them to the gatehouse to rest. The eunuch who came back with Lan Ziyi learned that he was not allowed to enter, and the blood on his face faded, he was scared enough when he was at the military plane just now, and his face was blue when he was frightened again, and when he saw Lan Ziyi enter, he called out from afar:
"Wait! Remember to save the slaves! ”
Lan Ziyi turned his head to the eunuch and bowed slightly, and he smiled:
"Father-in-law rest assured, I will ensure that my father-in-law is safe."
The celebrant Lan Ziyi had been here many times, and under the leadership of the leading eunuch, he walked to the main hall with ease. Today's main hall is extremely empty, and only Gonggong Long is sitting in the hall, and there are no other eunuchs who are holding pens. Seeing Lan Ziyi arrive at the door, Gonggong Long waved his hand to order the eunuch to retreat, Lan Ziyi entered the door to make a gesture, Gonggong Long stretched out his hand to invite Lan Ziyi to sit down, Lan Ziyi sat down and found that the tea bowl and copper kettle had been placed on the coffee table next to him, and it seemed that the people of the celebrant had been opened by Gonggong Long.
Gonggong Long suddenly said at this time:
"Wei Hou, you are seated in the second seat."
Lan Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, only to hear him laugh and say:
"Father-in-law, Ziyi didn't commit any major crimes, so you don't need to enter the silkworm room."
Grandpa Long laughed and said:
"Who would dare to put you into the Silkworm Room? Then he really doesn't want to live. Wei Hou, you also know that I am a Mao man, I used to be a thief, but now I have become the chief of the ceremonial supervisor, which is really a trick. ”
Lan Ziyi listened to Grandpa Long's words, bowed his head and was silent and did not answer, Grandpa Long saw that Lan Ziyi was silent, so he had to say by himself:
"It's an unprecedented thing for a traitor to be an internal minister, how many people look at me covetously, and I am a Mao person, I really can't rely on anyone up and down this Dazheng, but Wei Hou You are a person worthy of my trust."
Lan Ziyi got up when he heard this, and thanked him:
"There is the wrong love of Lao Gonggong."
Lan Ziyi's answer was obviously keeping a distance from Grandpa Long, which would not satisfy Grandpa Long, but Grandpa Long didn't seem to be in a hurry to make Lan Ziyi show his loyalty, and after getting Lan Ziyi's answer, he diverted the topic and asked:
"I heard that there was a quarrel in the military aircraft department just now."
Lan Ziyi sat back in his seat and replied:
"Yes, I had a quarrel with Zhang Mingyue."
Grandpa Long asked:
"It's because of the matter of letting King De be the emperor's younger brother."
Lan Ziyi nodded. Although Gonggong Long had expected this for a long time, Lan Ziyi nodded himself and still punctured the slightest illusion in his heart, and he still sighed uncomfortably. After taking a sip of tea, Grandpa Long asked:
"That kid I sent didn't help you?"
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"Father-in-law, such a tricky matter, you and Father-in-law Yu are unwilling to go, what can you do if you send a subordinate? That father-in-law has already done everything he should do, Cao Jin's treasure luck silver, and the matter of the front-line victory and military merit, he has helped me, as for the matter of finally letting King De be the emperor's younger brother, Zhang Mingyue's fire can set the entire Taicheng on fire, and at that time, I was afraid that my father-in-law would not be able to withstand Zhang Mingyue's anger if you went in person, not to mention the walking eunuch who did not have a seat. ”
Gonggong Long listened to Lan Ziyi's words and nodded, and then he shouted loudly outside the hall:
"Someone!"
A eunuch trotted into the hall, and Gonggong Long immediately commanded him:
"Go and bracket a pot of wine for your senior brother, and reward him with a stewed chicken for lunch tonight."
The eunuch took the order and surrendered his hand, and Gonggong Long turned to Lan Ziyi and said:
"I won't give him the reward, since I've seen Wei Hou, then he won't be short of rewards."
Lan Ziyi smiled and didn't say anything, while Gonggong Long sighed after what the imperial brother said just now:
"I can't imagine that Zhang Mingyue will not agree to such a concession, these scholars just love to admit death. What is the attitude of the other university officers of the Military Aircraft Department? ”
Lan Ziyi replied:
"Liu Zhan and Zhang Mingyue seconded the proposal as soon as they expressed their position, as for Wang Xiang, the old Wang Ba still planned to hide the matter, and I grabbed his pigtails in front of everyone before forcing him out."
Grandpa Long sighed:
"It's easier to establish the emperor's younger brother than to abolish the prince, but now it seems that it is not so simple. Wei Hou, you didn't have a reason to argue in the military aircraft department just now? ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"Father-in-law can ask the little father-in-law who helped me just now, or ask a few fathers-in-law who are guarding the military aircraft department, and ask them how Ziyi is doing, if you have to ask me, I can only say that I think I have done everything I can."
Gonggong Long nodded when he heard this, and he said:
"I know that Wei Hou is a person who runs a business, and there is no doubt about employing people, of course I should not suspect that Wei Hou does not do his best. I already know about King De yesterday, I apologize to Wei Hou for those things that King De said, I have reprimanded King De for the emperor, and he will never dare to do anything wrong in the future. ”
Lan Ziyi thought to himself, how many times have you taught King De a lesson, has he relented? But he still thanked him:
"Thank you father-in-law for your love, Ziyi grass people, how can you affect the emperor's anger and the prince?"
Long Gong Justice:
"The emperor has never meant to endanger the acting prince and the guard, he is talking nonsense, but he is not looking for a fight! Wei Hou you can rest assured, King De is just stubborn and ignorant now, and when he succeeds to the throne one day, he will naturally be sensible when the burden of the world is on his body. ”
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he had to give up his hand and thank:
"What my father-in-law said is extremely true, my ancestors and grandchildren have been blessed by the country for three generations, and there is nothing to repay, only to be loyal to Your Majesty can do a little bit to return the grass."
