Chapter 841: The Right and Wrong of the Palace Gate

With Qi Ning by his side, Dou Kui became more confident, and said categorically: "Unless there is the emperor's holy decree, no one has the right to check the carriage tonight." ”

Sima Changshen stared at Qi Ning's eyes and said, "Qi Ning, it seems that you mean the same thing?" ”

"What Lord Dou means is exactly what I mean." Qi Ning said: "Ben Hou and Lord Dou together with the raid of the Huainan Palace, they are closely related, if people who have nothing to do with this matter have to come to check, do we still want everyone to wait in line?" ”

Sima Changshen smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, Ben Hou will go and ask for a decree now." ”

"Is loyalty too much?" Although Dou Kui has Qi Ning's support, he is unsightly when he thinks of the treasures in the carriage, and he is also a little anxious: "The emperor's wedding today is a good and auspicious time, and it is not deliberately displeasing to the emperor to ask for instructions at this time." ”

"The emperor is married, and the marquis naturally won't disturb the emperor." Sima Changshen sneered: "Benhou sent someone to ask the Queen Mother for instructions, and Lord Dou will not disobey when the time comes, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother?" Dou Kui's face changed slightly.

"King Huainan is a member of the royal family, and the many treasures he collects are not all court rewards." Sima Changshen said proudly: "The status of the Queen Mother in the royal family is needless to mention, and it is related to the palace treasures, brocade clothes, this time you can't say that the Queen Mother can't ask about this matter, right?" ”

Qi Ning sighed and said, "Since Zhongyihou insists on doing this, I won't say anything more." You can send someone to the palace to ask for an order, and Lord Dou and I are waiting here. Xiang Dou Kui said: "Lord Dou, since Zhongyihou has repeatedly claimed that you want to steal the treasures of the palace, in order to show your innocence, you will wait for the will of the Queen Mother to come and let Zhongyi Hou take a look." ”

Dou Kui's heart was empty, and when he saw Qi Ning nodding slightly to himself, he thought to himself that since this little marquis said so, maybe there would really be a way to resolve it later, and at this time he had no other way to deal with it, so he could only delay it for a while.

"Someone, drive the carriage outside the palace gate and wait." Sima Chang said in a deep voice: "Don't let people sneak away." ”

His words were very rude, Dou Kui snorted coldly with a pair of sleeves, and saw that the group of people were about to drive the carriage away, and immediately said: "Wait, loyalty, you want to ask for an order to check the carriage, I don't say anything, but I want to drive the carriage outside the palace gate, what does that mean?" Today is a festive day, is it necessary to bring this matter to the palace? ”

Sima Changshen put one hand behind his back and said: "The palace banquet is about to end, we are outside the palace gate, and the hundred officials should also leave the palace. You Lord Dou are sharp and sharp, Benhou is not good at words, and you will show the facts in front of everyone, and you can understand the rights and wrongs at once, wouldn't it be better? lest Lord Dou say that no one testifies again, and it is Ben Hou who wronged you. ”

Sima Chang was cautious about his words, and today Dou Kui and Qi Ning repeatedly stopped him from checking the carriage, and he had already determined that the treasures in the carriage must be those treasures.

Dou Kui's heart was slightly cold, and he secretly thought that he really went outside the palace gate and opened the box under the noses of hundreds of officials, and there would be no room for maneuver at that time.

Once that batch of treasures is unveiled, the charge of embezzling the property of the palace can't be hidden, and when the hundred officials are present, Dou Kui knows that someone will immediately impeach himself to the imperial court, and the dismissal of the official is light.

Qi Ning also changed color slightly, and frowned: "Zhongyihou, this matter doesn't need to make a big fuss, right?" The emperor and the hundred officials are in a good mood today, if this incident disturbs everyone's interest, isn't it bad? ”

"State affairs are paramount." Sima Chang cautiously pressed step by step: "Jinyihou, you are also an important minister of the imperial court, don't you understand, compared to everyone's interest, the matter of copying the palace is more important?" ”

"This ......!" Qi Ning's face was ugly, but Sima Changshen had already urged: "Come on, drive the carriage outside the Zhengyang Gate." ”

Dou Kui looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning frowned, all of them were worried.

Sima Changshen led people to drive two carriages to the main gate of the palace, Zhengyang Gate, everyone walked on foot, Qi Ning followed out of a while, and suddenly said: "Zhongyihou, I drank a few more cups just now, my body is a little not, the palace gate, I won't go ......!" ”

When Dou Kui heard this, his body became weak, thinking that this little marquis seemed to want to escape from the battle, and put all the blame on himself, looking at Qi Ning, Qi Ning was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, Dou Kui's eyes showed a look of begging, but Sima Changshen immediately said: "Jinyihou, you can't go." ”

"Why?"

"You are the host of the palace, and now there are items transported from the palace in the carriage, how can you leave halfway?" Sima Changshen's eyes were like knives staring at Qi Ning: "Regardless of whether this matter is related to you or not, when the time comes to check the carriage, you must always be on the scene, otherwise you can't talk about it." ”

Qi Ning sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked with the team.

Huainan Palace, naturally not too far from the palace, after less than half an hour, it has rushed to Zhengyang Gate, but at this time, it happened to meet a group of officials coming out of the palace gate in groups of three or five, and the officials were surprised to see Sima Changshen and others driving the carriage over.

The carriage stopped on the side, so as not to block the way for the officials to go out, but at this time, the officials not only saw Sima Changshen, but also saw Dou Kui and Qi Ning, and felt more and more strange, how to leave.

The banquet in the palace was staggered, and the three of Qi Ning were silent when they left, and many officials did not notice the three of them leaving at all, and at this time they saw three important ministers who were supposed to be at the night banquet suddenly appeared outside the palace gate, and they also drove two carriages over, and they were all surprised.

"Master Hou, what's wrong?" Chen Lanting, the servant of the ministry, took the lead and stepped forward: "Who is in the carriage?" ”

The dignified Zhongyi Hou and Jinyi Hou walked on foot, and the people in the carriage were naturally extraordinary, but the emperor and Sima Lan were both in the palace, and everyone really couldn't figure out who else in the whole world could let the two hereditary candidates follow the carriage on foot.

Sima Changshen glanced at Qi Ning triumphantly and said, "There is no one in the car." ”

"No one?" There was an uproar in all directions, and it was even more unclear what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.

At this time, Wuxiang Hou Su Yu had also come out, and he stepped forward, also at a loss: "There is no one in the carriage, what are you doing here with an empty car?" Is it to borrow someone to leave? As soon as the words came out, I felt that something was impossible.

When the ministers entered the palace, naturally there were many people who had carriages and sedan chairs to pick them up, but they all had a special place to wait, and no one had the courage to block the tools they were riding outside the palace gate, and the two carriages in front of them looked very ordinary, that was the carriage that the gentry and townsmen would only ride.

"Your Excellency, just wait here." Sima Chang said cautiously: "Ben Hou enters the palace and asks for an order!" He instructed his subordinates: "Keep an eye on it, but don't let people run away." "Don't talk nonsense, go straight to the palace to find the Queen Mother to ask for advice.

Su Yu came to Qi Ning's side and asked, "Jinyihou, what happened?" This..... Which one is this singing? ”

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "I won't hide it from you." Yesterday, the Huainan Mansion was confiscated, and not all of them were copied clean. Raising his hand to Dou Kui: "Lord Dou has worked tirelessly, and the night banquet has not yet ended, so he will continue to go to the palace to transport the remaining items to the household department, because it is the day of the emperor's wedding, so try to keep a low profile, so as not to disturb everyone." After sighing, he continued: "But halfway down the road, he was stopped by Zhongyihou and others, and Zhongyihou insisted on checking the contents of the carriage, and said that Lord Dou was a treasure smuggling the palace. ”

There was a commotion in all directions, Chen Lanting put his hands behind his back, and sneered: "It's no wonder that you are loyal." Lord Dou transported things from the palace in the middle of the night, who knows what was being transported? Jinyi Hou said that it was going to be transported to the household, who can guarantee whether it is true or false? Maybe Zhongyihou didn't stop him, so he didn't know how to transport it to other places. ”

"Shut up!" Dou Kui couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Chen Lanting, what kind of bullshit are you putting out?" ”

Chen Lanting was stunned for a moment, but laughed instead of being angry: "Lord Dou, what are you anxious about, outside the palace gate, you are also a scholar, don't you think it's insulting?" I'm just telling the truth, don't listen if you don't like it. ”

The official department is concurrently served by Sima Lan, but Sima Lan usually assists the government and the government, and the official department has actually always been presided over by Chen Lanting, the servant of the official department, and its actual power is not much different from the official department.

But above the official position, Chen Lanting is still one level shorter than Dou Kui, the head of the household, at this time, he ridiculed Dou Kui in public, and many officials knew in their hearts that Chen Lanting dared to be so presumptuous because of the power of the Sima family.

"Chen Lanting, you have read the book, do you know the difference between the top and the bottom?" As soon as Qi Ning saw Chen Lanting, a fox and a fake tiger, he was disgusted in his heart, and sneered: "A squire, talking to Lord Dou so presumptuously, who gave you the guts?" ”

As soon as Chen Lanting heard Qi Ning's voice, he felt weak in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "It's the lower official, isn't it, the lower official..... Xia Guan just said that there was a possibility. ”

"There are some things that are really learned." Qi Ning smiled harshly: "Zhongyi waited for Lord Dou to stop him, and he also said this, he couldn't come up with any evidence to prove that Lord Dou was transporting treasures from the palace, but he guessed that Lord Dou just wanted to fill his pockets, hehe......!" ”

At this time, the surrounding officials also understood the reason, and someone had already asked, "Lord Dou, what is in the carriage?" Right and wrong twists and turns, open it and look at it, you won't understand. ”

Dou Kui put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "The imperial court has the laws of the imperial court, the household department has the constitution of the household department, the things that the household department has copied and confiscated, and the household department has its own household department registered, can anyone ask?" ”

Qi Ning raised his hand and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's useless to say anything now. Zhongyi waited to check the carriage, saying that he wanted to maintain the imperial court, and now he went to ask the queen mother for instructions, and we didn't say much. As the saying goes, those who are clear are self-purifying, and when Zhongyihou comes over with the will and opens the carriage, everyone will see if Lord Dou is really smuggling treasures. ”

Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Jinyihou, is it something that you and Lord Dou transported out of the palace together?" ”

"Not really." Qi Ning said with a smile: "I suddenly met in the middle of the road, and I trusted Lord Dou's person, and I was indeed presided over this time to confiscate the palace, so I followed to find out." ”

When the surrounding ministers heard this, they all thought that your little marquis is really big-hearted, who is not good to believe but has to believe in Dou Kui's character, if it is really found out that the carriage is the treasure of the palace later, wouldn't the Jinyi Qi family also be involved in Dou Kui, the Sima family is worried that they can't find the handle of your Qi family, now you are sent to the door, no wonder Sima Changshen will catch it.
