Chapter 437: The End of Qingping (7)
Shindu Gongin.
Lock the courtyard tribute test, the talent ceremony, the clear stream of Chinese selection, the famous religion event, this should be a pure land.
However, this is only the ideal state, and through the comings and goings of guards and servants, there is still news from the outside world from time to time.
The chief examiner Wei Chuhou couldn't cry or laugh, he was a bookworm pedant, he acted with a clear eye, his popularity was not good, his ears and eyes were closed on weekdays, he rarely knew about the movements of all parties, and he had never heard of inside information.
"Champion Hou is really a blessing to the sky, he was poisoned by peacock gall, and he can be cured, and he is very human, and he is not a human being, I am afraid that he is not the reincarnation of a celestial man, and he can live the flesh and bones ......of the dead."
"Hey, you don't look at it, how much blessing the champion Hou has, three or four princesses are taking care of it all day, there are not a few people who give him vegetarian blessings, my old lady went to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings, and I have seen the golden Buddha enshrined all over the wall, all of which are for the champion Hou to eliminate disasters, there are gods and Buddhas, and I dare not do anything for fear of illness......"
"Tsk, the champion Hou woke up, the Manchu Dynasty went to ask about the disease, Hugh said to others, His Royal Highness King Liang and the old man of Doulu went to go in person, Jiuqu Hou got a noble son again, double happiness came to the door, a big feast, I think back then, Concubine Xiao Shu died tragically, I'm afraid I can't imagine that future generations still have such a beautiful ......"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and there was an older one, who scolded a "silence", the man jerked his ear, arched his hands, and made a move, everyone was accustomed to it, knowing that he was unintentional, but it didn't matter, they all quietly peeked at Wei Chuhou, who was holding an ancient book at the top, and his page had not been turned for a long time.
Although Wei Chuhou was rigid, he did not have a vicious heart, threw away the book, and reprimanded with a straight face, "Champion Hou, the pillar of the country, the crown of the royal family, Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Gaozong, Siren has gone, you talk about it, you must leave some decent respect, and you must not be quick to speak"
"Yes," the subordinates responded in unison.
"Hmm" Wei Chuhou saw that the widow was visible, brushed his beard, and a little embarrassed flush on his face, "Wait and continue, Champion Hou wakes up, presumably His Royal Highness Taiping's anger can also be weakened a little......"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly it dawned on him, this chief examiner, is also concerned about the outside trend, some people are more delicate, thinking of the intersection of the champion Hou and Wei Chuhou, it is nothing more than the case of white sandalwood, that prison, people who were convicted and died are repeated, some of them deserve it, but there are many unjust deaths, only Wei Chuhou retreated, and he also got the reputation of affection.
exchanged glances with each other, and each knew each other, no wonder Wei Chuhou was able to preside over the tribute policy with a corrupt Confucian, but it turned out to be the champion Hou Dang in the shadows.
The older deputy examiner took over, "Ahem, since the champion Hou woke up, His Royal Highness Taiping has been taking care of him in the mansion, and he has never taken care of the torture of Shendu Yuan, and the person who took over has not said it explicitly, but it is rumored that it is Guanglu Siqing who is solemnly presiding over the follow-up matters."
Everyone was in an uproar and discussed, "When it comes to cronies, it should be Ge Zhongcheng, when it comes to authority, there is also Song Shangshu, no matter how bad it is, there is also Di Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how can Zheng Siqing appear?" ”
The deputy examiner spread his hands, he is also hearsay, where to know the root cause.
Wei Chuhou was also puzzled, but he was more concerned about how Zheng Zheng would act, but he was not easy to ask, and his expression became more and more embarrassed.
Fortunately, the deputy examiner was understanding, speechless, and continued, "Zheng Siqing is a good means, he has not arrested people again, but the detainees have passed through the court one by one, no longer limited to the case of the poisoning of the champion Hou, dig deep and investigate, no matter how big or small the crime, all the accumulation, according to the law and punishment, more than 100 people, no one was able to escape, many powerful people in the court were implicated, Zheng Siqing did not show favoritism and forbearance, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi's family slaves, Prime Minister Di Renjie's old family, Prime Minister Zong Qinke's internal dependents, are all detained in the case, handed over to Dali Temple for another treatment......"
"What's wrong with King Huaiyang?" Someone couldn't wait to ask.
"This, but it's a little bizarre" The deputy examiner didn't seem to be familiar with this matter, so he changed his mouth, "The Bu Yue Daoist of Princess Yiyang's Mansion went to Shendu Yuan once, and it was rumored that it was for Wu Yanxiu's treatment, but the truth is unknown."
The room fell silent suddenly, except for the sound of sighs of varying lengths.
The open-mouthed examiner made another mistake at this time, and blurted out, "Champion Hou, it's not easy to endure humiliation and burden."
Wei Chuhou waved his hand and looked sideways at the sundial in the courtyard, "Colleagues, the time of the Ming Jingke is coming, and we still focus on official business."
Everyone received the order, got up and went out one after another, and got busy.
Wei Chuhou sat alone in the room, he had never paid so much attention to the court situation, Quan Ce never said, and he never asked, but the grace of the preservation of the white sandalwood case, he kept it in mind, and solemnly sneered at the side branches, the tree was full of enemies, but Bu Yue treated the real black hand Wu Yanxiu, if it wasn't helpless, who would want to act like this?
Poor young hero, the poison of the body can be cured, and he has to suffer the creation of his mind.
Wei Chuhou shook his head and laughed at himself, he didn't enter the court in his life, and only then did he solve the court situation, and he saw that it was moving, and he was afraid that he would never be able to leave it again, looking at the list of lifters in his hand, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a deep smile.
March 28, the day of the tribute.
Luntai Hou Quanzhu, driven by the car of Tianshui Princess Quanzhu, transported Wu Yanxiu out of Shendu Garden, sent it back to the Wei Palace, and apologized to Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, on the street.
In the Taichu Palace, there was finally movement.
Empress Wu issued an order, Huaiyang King Wu Yanxiu is in poor health, it is not suitable to travel far, strike Qiongzhou Assassin History, imprisoned in the palace of King Wei, not allowed to go out without permission, the right policy is known as a meritorious service, and the safety is particularly serious, send twenty palace maids in the palace to guard, and give ten boxes of precious medicinal materials.
The dust settled, and there was no mention of poisoning, nor of the torture of the Divine Capital, as if nothing had happened.
After this case, Wu Chenghe's vitality was exhausted, his power was gone, he withdrew gloomily, and Quan Ce was in danger of resurrection, and he couldn't take revenge, but he had a lot of involvement and suffered a big setback.
Looking in the direction of the Taichu Palace, everyone was cold in their spine.
Taichu Palace, Ye Ting, Wu Chongxing came to Shangguan Wan'er with a stack of files to ask for advice.
"Sister Wan'er, are you crying?" Wu Chongxing lay on the table, staring at Shangguan Wan'er's smooth cheeks, a little disappointed, with a smile on his head, and no tears.
"Why did Chongxing ask that? Isn't it possible to look at your sister and cry? Shangguan Wan'er poked his head and asked in disgust.
Wu Chongxing's skin was really tight, and he said with a smile, "Don't dare, Chongxing is just strange, why does the eldest brother want me to say to you not to cry?" ”
The words were like flipping a switch, Shangguan Wan'er's body shook, her cheeks wrinkled, and tears poured down.
Seeing this, Wu Chongxing was slightly surprised, looked around, and did not step forward to persuade him, but retreated to the door and closed the door.
In the misty tears, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to see her weak Lang Jun, crossed her fingers, and explained to her that the many people who were arrested, even if they were not killed and sent back as they were, would still have grievances against the powerful, so it was better to get rid of them neatly, and use them to get the handle of the powerful, so as to form a deterrent, stabilize the situation, and then repair it when the time is right; Wu Yanxiu is not the culprit, there is another inside story in it, rather than insisting on his murder charge but it is difficult to sentence and convict, it is difficult to ride a tiger, it is better to be vague, return the person, release it is better than the conviction, and win the sympathy of the government and the opposition.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled sadly, but she was not easy to fool, Lang Jun acted solemnly, he had already made bad plans, he had only returned to the DPRK not long ago, and he was not deeply implicated in all parties, even if he suffered a backlash, he was also a single horse, which can avoid the impact of the party in the DPRK and China, in the final analysis, it is still from the original sin, if Quan Ce's surname is Wu, or is the princess of Taiping's own son, do you think Wu Yanxiu can survive?
Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip hard, bit out a mouthful of salty gas, pulled Wu Chongxing, and pressed his thin shoulder, "Chongxing, you have to work hard, and you will be able to assist your eldest brother in the future."
Wu Chongxing was puzzled, in his careful eyes, the eldest brother was as majestic as a mountain, almost omnipotent, where could he be used to assist?
