Chapter XIII: Impeachment
"The emperor has arrived—"
In the vertical arch hall, the Tianqin Emperor sat on the throne, and the civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the main hall.
"There is a book to start playing, and there is no book to retreat from the dynasty-"
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music. "As soon as the civil officials were in the column, the imperial historian Fang took Mei to hold the wat board and came out of the ranks, and when he saw him in the ranks, Liu Zhengqian, who was in the ranks of the military attachés, couldn't help frowning.
Sure enough, as soon as Fang Zhumei opened her mouth, she recounted the incident of Liufu yesterday in a concise and concise manner, and said at the end: "More than ten years ago, the matter of Liu Weigong's favored concubine and killing his wife was over, and now his concubine has returned to his house and has been maliciously suppressed by the aunt of Liufu! Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; if their families are not together, how can they govern the country! The Liu family has been loyal and good for generations, and if hundreds of officials follow suit in the future, the discipline of the central government will be corrupted, and the foundation of Tianqin will be unstable, how can they win the trust of the people!"
"Liu Aiqing, what Fang Aiqing said is the truth?" On the throne, the emperor raised his eyebrows, brushed his beard, and stared at the officials below with interest.
"Your Majesty," Liu Zhengqian walked out of the queue, saluted and frowned: "This is just a family affair in the minister's mansion, the little girl has just returned to the house, and many things are not familiar with yesterday's little turmoil, it is not worth mentioning at all!"
"Little turmoil?" A chuckle came from the civil official column, "If it's really a small turmoil, how can it make everyone in the imperial capital know about it!"
Following the sound, the emperor's figure stepped forward slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose to the people below and pointed, "Oh? Mo Aiqing said this, quickly and carefully." ”
Among the civil officials, Mo Yunchen wore a purple suit with a goldfish bag, was tall, white and handsome. He walked in front of Liu Zhengqian and Fang Zhumei, raised the corners of his mouth lightly and said: "The emperor doesn't know, yesterday the second miss of the Liu family returned to the house, and accidentally collided with the minister's carriage, and the minister didn't want to send the second miss back to the house, and happened to participate in the whole process." ”
"What a coincidence. The Emperor's eyes widened, as curious as a child.
"Yes, the minister was also very surprised, but when he went to the street, he met Miss Liu Er, who had been out of the Liu family for more than ten years. Mo Yunchen's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he suddenly looked serious, "In front of Liufu, the minister saw with his own eyes how the Liufu family made things difficult for Miss Liu Er, and how Miss Liu Er fainted due to excessive sadness, and also heard that Miss Liu Er's return to the house Liu Weigong did not know in advance, but the aunt sent a letter to Miss Liu Er on her own initiative, and her purpose must not need to be told by the minister, the emperor Shengming, naturally understands." ”
"Liu Aiqing, do you have anything else to say?" The emperor leaned back to the throne, and the smile on his face faded a little.
"Your Majesty, this is a minister's family affair......"
"It's a family matter, but there were a lot of onlookers in the imperial capital yesterday, and the rumors of the Liu family's favored concubine and wife have spread all over the imperial capital, if this unhealthy trend is not punished, I am afraid that the people will not accept it!"
"King Yi Yi ......"
"Okay!" A sound of impatience interrupted the tension in the hall, and the emperor had already smiled at this time, "If I remember correctly, the family affairs of Liufu were moved to the court more than ten years ago, and it is the same today. Liu Zhengqian, are you guilty?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhengqian knew that there was no room for relaxation, so he bowed his head and kowtowed: "Minister-confession." When the next dynasty returns home, the minister will punish the foreign woman!"
"Hmm. ”
"Just ......"
"Huh?" Seeing what Liu Zhengqian was going to say, the emperor's eyes widened.
Not daring to face the blazing gaze, Liu Zhengqian stared at the ground with his eyes and sighed: "It's just that since the minister's deceased wife went fourteen years ago, that foreign wife has been in charge of the mansion and tried her best to serve the eldest son left by the minister's deceased wife. Yesterday's incident was that the grandmother was wrong, but there was no merit and hard work, and she asked the emperor to spare her life. ”
"Hmm...... In this way, the aunt is quite good. The emperor squinted, "Then why didn't she deal with that Miss Liu Er alone?"
"This ......," Liu Zhengqian broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
"That's it, Fang Aiqing and Mo Aiqing are reasonable, but that aunt also has a lot of credit in the Liu family, then the credit is offset, Liu Aiqing, after a while, you will go to the Criminal Department to receive the thirty boards, and your aunt will slap her mouth in front of the door of Liufu for a day, and palm her for an hour, otherwise she will not have a long memory. The emperor played with the white jade wrench in his hand and said lightly. The Liu family has a deep foundation, and the crime of "spoiling concubines and destroying wives" alone can't turn over any flowers, so they can only be punished.
"Thank you Emperor Longen!" Liu Zhengqian was overjoyed, you must know that those who spoil concubines and kill their wives will be dismissed from their official positions and demoted to commoners!
"By the way, I heard Mo Aiqing say that Miss Liu Er fainted yesterday. Mo Aiqing, after a while, you will personally take the imperial doctor to visit Liufu in the morning, and appease Miss Liu Er" by the way, I will take this opportunity to appease and appease the people, otherwise the rumors will be rampant, and the face of the Liu family and the court will not be able to pass."
"Obey. Mo Yunchen saluted, and the smile on his buried face grew stronger.
Seeing that Mo Yunchen should respond, the emperor stroked his beard and said lightly: "If you Aiqing have nothing else to do, then retire from the court." With that, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave the main hall.
"Retreat—Toward —"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live——!"
After retreating, the civil and military officials left one after another, Mo Yunchen quickly caught up with Liu Zhengqian, with a smile on his face, "Liu Weigong, you are a person who practices martial arts, and those thirty boards should be nothing." After a while, when this king was ordered to ask the imperial doctor to see Miss Liu Er, he would remember to help Liu Weigong leave some gold sore medicine. ”
"Hmph! King Yixi's kindness, the lower officials don't dare to take it!" Liu Zhengqian blew his beard and glared at Mo Yunchen, then flicked his sleeves and walked towards the criminal department.
Scold. Mo Yunchen glanced at Liu Zhengqian's back with disdain, and at this time, Mo Yunchen saw another person, so he rushed over and smiled: "Lord Fang!"
The person in front stopped when he heard this, turned around and saluted Mo Yunchen: "King Yixi." ”
"It's good that you brought this matter up in the palace first, otherwise this king is really not good to interfere in this matter. Mo Yunchen shook his head, "Alas, that Miss Liu Er is really pitiful." ”
"Spoiling a concubine and killing his wife is a big crime, and the lower officials, as the imperial historians, should supervise hundreds of officials and admonish the emperor. Fang Zhumei said solemnly.
"Lord Fang, why should you and I be so serious. Mo Yunchen smiled with a little deep meaning, "The king of Japan can't find anyone to talk to, and he wants to find Lord Fang to drink and talk together, I wonder if Lord Fang is free for these two days?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhumei frowned, bowed and said: "Xia Guan has a lot of official affairs on weekdays, and he really can't spare time, so I ask the prince to forgive me." If there is nothing important, the lower official will take the first step. After speaking, without waiting for Mo Yunchen to speak, he walked away quickly.
It's really a hard bone, but if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the imperial doctor. Mo Yunchen snorted coldly and paced towards the Tai Hospital. He hummed a small tune, and even if he was wearing an official uniform, he looked like a gentleman.
Although the peek last night shocked her, it was fortunate that she didn't see it. It's just that who is that man in black? This willow orchid has quite a lot of secrets. This time I helped her out, what should I ask her for?
