Chapter 842: Cutting the Lord

The ministers all wanted to see how tonight's good show would end, so they were naturally reluctant to leave immediately.

Sima Changshen's footsteps were not slow, he stared for a while, and then saw Sima Changshen coming quickly, and the ministers immediately got out of the way, Sima Changshen held a piece of yellow silk in his hand, approached him, smiled proudly, shook the yellow thick in his hand and said: "Jinyihou, Lord Dou, this is the queen mother's decree, I don't know if these two carriages can be checked with this decree?" After speaking, he threw the yellow silk in his hand into Dou Kui's hand.

Dou Kui was already in a cold sweat, opened the yellow silk and took a look, his face was like ashes, he turned his eyes to Qi Ning, and handed over the yellow silk in his hand, at this time, the queen mother's will was in hand, Dou Kui had no ability to stop Sima Chang from carefully inspecting the carriage, his face was pale, he knew in his heart that he only waited for the box in the carriage to be opened, and his future would come to an end.

He only hoped that Qi Ning could come up with a way to stop Sima Changshen now.

Qi Ning didn't take the yellow silk at all, but just sighed lightly: "All the adults are here, and the twists and turns of right and wrong will be understood soon." However, although there is a decree of the Queen Mother, we cannot stop Zhongyi from inspecting the carriage, but some truths still have to be explained. ”

Sima Changshen snorted coldly and said, "What is the truth? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an indisputable fact that the household department is on an errand, and Zhongyi is waiting to interfere tonight." Qi Ning's expression also became cold: "I don't know who gave Zhongyihou such great power, and even asked about the official affairs of the household department." If you can ask about the affairs of the household department today, will you be able to ask about the affairs of the criminal department or even the military department tomorrow? He sneered and said, "Zhongyihou, why don't I go back and play a twist, let the emperor directly promote you to the prime minister, and hand over the six yamen to you to manage?" ”

Sima Changshen was not annoyed, and said: "Jinyihou, you said these words, the purpose is nothing more than to prevent Ben Hou from inspecting the carriage, but Ben Hou is stubborn, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal." Tonight's matter is not that Ben Hou is also meddling in the affairs of the household department, but that he feels that Dou Kui's behavior tonight is abnormal, and he must find out. ”

"I can understand the feelings of loyalty." Qi Ning said lightly: "But there is no price, Zhongyi Hou can do whatever he wants, check whoever he wants, and spread it, isn't it bad for the reputation of the Sima family?" ”

Sima Changshen frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The meaning is very simple, Zhongyihou believes that the carriage must be a treasure smuggled by Lord Dou, if this is the case, Zhongyihou is to investigate a big case and make a great contribution to the imperial court." Qi Ning stared straight into Sima Changshen's eyes: "If this is the case, although tonight's behavior is a little rude or even domineering, but after all, if you make a contribution, it can be regarded as a merit or demerit, and we don't have much to say." ”

Sima Changshen's brows were locked, and he was also staring at Qi Ning's eyes.

"But if Lord Dou is innocent and there are no treasures in the carriage that Zhongyihou said, should Lord Dou suffer this version of Zhongyihou's insult?" Qi Ning sneered: "Lord Dou is also an important minister of the imperial court, a dignified household servant, when he was on an errand, he was blocked by Zhongyi Hou on the street, and even slandered as smuggling the treasures of the palace, and now he was forcibly taken outside the palace gate, and came to search the carriage with the queen mother's decree, these insults, even ordinary people can't stand it, let alone the important ministers of the imperial court?" He raised his hand and pointed at the ministers and said: "If Zhongyihou doesn't give an explanation tonight, then in the future, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, will they let Zhongyihou suspect which one to investigate?" ”

Qi Ning's words are extremely inflammatory, tonight Sima Changshen twisted Dou Kui to investigate, Dou Kui is already a very high-status courtier in the court, if Sima Changshen does not have any evidence but even Dou Kui can be so forcibly investigated, then as Qi Ning said, in the future, Sima Changshen will not want to investigate which.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and when the ministers thought of this, they inevitably became dissatisfied with Sima Changshen, and their expressions were different.

Sima Chang was cautious that Qi Ning was inciting the ministers, and he was angry, but it was not easy to argue, and at this time, he also saw that the ministers seemed to be dissatisfied, sneered, and said, "Jinyihou, what do you think Benhou should do to search the carriage?" ”

Qi Ning said in a loud voice: "Lord Dou runs an errand for the imperial court, and I have no doubt about Lord Dou, so in front of you, I will guarantee Lord Dou." If Zhongyi Hou really found the treasures of the palace from the carriage today, but Lord Dou was full of private pockets, then Ben Hou was willing to ask the emperor for an order to take away the title of Marquis of Jinyi, even if he did not know anyone. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding among the ministers, and many people exclaimed.

The four hereditary candidates can be said to be the supreme glory of the Great Chu Empire, and it is also the special existence of the Chu State, from the founding of the country to the present, the four hereditary candidates have always had a very noble status in the Great Chu, everyone knows that the hereditary titles of the Chu State are genuine glory, and they are all rewards that have been awarded by countless hard work at the time of the founding of the country.

As long as there is a hereditary title, there is still a stable place in the Chu court, for example, Su Yu's talent is mediocre, but because he inherited the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, the glory and wealth he enjoys are far beyond that of other courtiers, and even if there are many people in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who look down on Su Yu in their bones, they are not rude in face.

The title of Marquis of Jinyi is a gold-lettered signboard played by two generations of marquis, looking at the world, no matter where the Marquis of Jinyi goes, it will make people look high.

But in order to guarantee Dou Kui tonight, this little marquis actually wanted to take out the Marquis of Jinyi as a bet, and the first thought in many people's hearts was that Qi Ning was crazy.

Once the Marquis of Jinyi is stripped away, then not only will the Jinyi Qi family be taken back immediately, but the most important thing is that it will be more difficult to fight against the Sima family in the future.

Some people are already sighing in their hearts, secretly thinking that young people have an impulsive temperament, and this little marquis seems to be going to destroy the family wealth that the Qi family has saved so hard.

Sima Changshen seemed to be afraid that Qi Ning would retract his promise, and immediately said: "Everyone has heard it, Jinyi Hou uses the position of Marquis as a guarantee for Lord Dou, but Ben Hou has heard it word for word. ”

Dou Kui was also shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that Qi Ning was really confused, if Qi Ning kept the title of Marquis of Jinyi, he would still be able to save himself, but once he didn't even have the title, it would be difficult to protect himself, not to mention that he could protect others, and he opened his mouth to persuade him, but Qi Ning had already stared at Sima Changshen and said: "Isn't there anything to say about loyalty?" ”

Sima Changshen didn't know what Qi Ning meant, and he was not ambiguous, and sneered: "Since Jinyi Hou dares to take the title to protect it, of course this Hou will not let you suffer." If it is really not an important thing in this carriage, this marquis will also ask the emperor for an order and deprive him of the title of Zhongyi Hou, Jinyi Hou, are you satisfied? ”

Everyone thought to themselves that since Sima Changshen also dared to gamble with the title of Zhongyi Hou, he was obviously full of confidence and was determined to win, and at this time they only felt that the atmosphere was tense, because no matter who lost or who won, the four hereditary candidates after the beginning of the establishment of the country will be one less tonight, and from now on, there will only be three hereditary candidates in the Chu State.

"Wait." Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "Zhongyihou's words are vague, you said that if there are not important things in the carriage, you will ask for the order, then you tell everyone, what are the important things, and what are the things that don't matter?" ”

Dou Kui thought that Qi Ning had even gambled on the title, and he had nothing to hesitate, so he stabilized his mind and sneered: "Yes, Zhongyihou, you have to make this clear." ”

Sima Chang said cautiously: "Okay, then I'll make it clear." If the carriage is not hidden in the gold and silver treasures collected by the palace, or antique calligraphy and paintings, then it is considered a loss. Yes, if Xiao Shaozong is hiding inside, hmph, then there is no need to say more. ”

Qi Ning immediately said: "Everyone listen, this is the words of Zhongyihou himself, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I repeat, Zhongyihou means that if the carriage is not hidden in gold, silver, jewelry or antique calligraphy and painting, or not the prince of Huainan, then even if he interferes in the affairs of the household and oversteps his authority, he will ask the emperor to cut off his title of Zhongyihou, Zhongyihou, am I wrong?" ”

Sima Changshen nodded and said, "You are not wrong, this is what Ben Hou meant." ”

Qi Ning sneered, took two steps back to the side, and said loudly: "Since Zhongyi has invited the Queen Mother's decree, I will no longer stop it." Pointing to the carriageway: "Although Zhongyi Hou sent someone to search for it, he turned the carriage upside down." ”

Sima Changshen didn't talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, search for me!" ”

The more than ten attendants he led had been around the carriage before, and at this time, when he gave an order, a group of people rushed over like wolves and tigers, opened the carriage, and soon, they carried down four or five boxes from the carriage.

The ministers gathered around, sticking out their heads one by one, lest they miss something.

The five boxes were arranged in a row, all of them were locked and sealed, Sima Changshen's face showed a smug look, and he said in a deep voice: "Open the box!" ”

Several attendants immediately stepped forward, used the blade to pry open the iron lock, and then opened all five boxes one by one, after opening, each box was covered with purple silk cloth, Sima Changshen carried one hand behind him, glanced at Dou Kui, saw that Dou Kui's face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even his body was trembling slightly, the corners of Sima Changshen's lips were even more sneering, and he glanced at Qi Ning again, only to see Qi Ning with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky slightly.

Sima Changshen walked to a box, stretched out his hand, without saying a word, lifted the silk cloth covering it, and the ministers all held their breath, staring at the box with wide eyes one by one, just wanting to see what was under the silk cloth, Sima Changshen lifted the silk cloth for a moment, the corners of Dou Kui's mouth twitched, turned his head, and did not dare to look.
