129, eighteen hearts and eyes
In the early morning, the emperor sat on the throne, clasped his hands, and looked at the courtiers who were arguing below.
The focus of everyone's controversy is on Xu Han's identity.
Although she is the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, she has another identity, the prince of the fief.
Although he is a king with a different surname, he is also a clan in the end, so should he interfere in local civil affairs like this?
Moreover, it is said that it was Xu Han, the king of Zhenbei, who asked the government to seal down the gambling house.
Everyone debated whether Xu Han's behavior was right, whether he violated the law, or whether he should be punished, so as to warn whether it was an empty prince in Beijing or a feudal king.
The imperial historians are all full of food and have nothing to do, and they are in a panic at the end of the year, and now it is clear that there is something for them to toss, and they are swarming towards Xu Han and spitting out their swords.
Yu Shijia, "The minister thought that the king of Zhenbei had violated the law, so she reported to the official, and she went straight to the palace to question the head of the cell and the magistrate who governed Qingshui Town.
This not only involves civil affairs, but also directly controls the overall situation, even if she has the position of deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, this is also a passing line. “
After Yu Shi Jia retreated, Yu Shi Yi immediately stood up and said loudly,
"The minister felt that the king of Zhenbei, as a vassal king, concurrently served as the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, which was very inappropriate.
The minister thought that the king of Zhenbei took advantage of His Majesty's trust, his reckless deeds, and his rampant intentions, and His Majesty could not ignore it. ”
In the court, most of the courtiers echoed the two imperial histories, in fact, many people in it didn't know Xu Han, but the suppression of the king with a different surname was a matter of lip service for Wenchen, which was too smooth.
It belongs to the kind of people who are not happy to do it, and it is better to impeach alone than to be impeached by the public.
In addition, Xu Han has been promoted so fast that people can't blink at the speed of promotion, and I don't know how many people's financial paths have been blocked in the Jiangnan fraud case.
Of course, there are those who agree, there are those who follow the trend, and there are those who go against the trend, and the voices they make are on par with the imperial historians.
"The minister doesn't understand, according to the two imperial historians, that is, no matter who it is, from the royal family to the common people, the peddlers and pawns, they all take a detour when they see injustice?
The intervention of the royal ministers is overstepping their authority and violating the law, so what are the ordinary people? Is the dog nosy with a mouse?
Is this country still a country, and people still a man? ”
"Around the capital, such a big case has happened, it is related to the court and the people, the little prince of Zhenbei is so anxious, in a certain opinion, it is just a piece of loyalty to the court, even if there is a mistake, then it only needs to reprimand one or two."
Yu Shijia sneered and continued,
"Qingshui Town has its own jurisdictional magistrate, no matter how bad it is, he can still report on the three divisions, why do you need the king of Zhenbei to come and do it many times? This is clearly greed for merit. ”
This Lord Yushi was reminded by Yu Shiyi, and he held on to Xu Han's involvement in the Jiangnan fraud case.
"If it weren't for greed for merit, as long as the communication with the magistrate was good, how could the people behind the scenes jump over the wall in a hurry and poison important witnesses to death?"
His words changed, "The minister thinks that the king of Zhenbei is still greedy for merit and wants to show himself in front of His Majesty, if this is all loyal, then everyone is like this, then the court is still the court?" How officials get along with each other. ”
He arched his hand to the emperor and said, "The minister thinks that the king of Zhenbei should still be deprived of the post of deputy commander of Jin Wuwei." ”
The world says that the pen and mouth of the imperial history are like a murderous knife, and the knife does not see blood, and the two imperial histories are so aggressive, this statement is not in vain.
After Xu Han finished reporting the matter, she returned to her position, she had the identity of the prince, and the emperor once allowed her to stand at the forefront as the prince.
After the Yu Shijia who scolded him finished speaking, he glanced at her and returned to his place proudly.
The ready-made handle, together with the previous leak, can't clean up a king with a different surname, and it can always make her scrape off a layer of skin.
The emperor sat on top of him and never said a word.
In fact, the imperial history of this dynasty can be so straightforward, or because the emperor has a benevolent style, he has always been willing to admonish.
In order to leave a name for history, even if the emperor is in power, he also dares to give direct advice, not to mention the benevolent style of today.
The emperor didn't speak, and the people who spoke for Xu Han were still speaking, two people, you say a word, I say a word, you say your reason, I say my reason.
Finally, the emperor raised his hand, and the noisy hall of thousands of ducks finally quieted down, and the emperor's gaze turned around, fixed on one of them, and asked a special question,
"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?"
There are courtiers who have seen Xiao Wei speak for Xu Han in the Qianqing Palace that day, and the emperor will of course inquire about him, after all, as long as there are well-informed people in the capital now, they will know that the prince of Chengen and the little prince of Zhenbei are not separated from Meng, and Meng is not out of focus.
In fact, according to the temper of the prince of Chengen, it is really strange that the court is in chaos like this, and he still doesn't say a word.
Xiao Wei used to be a famous gentleman in the capital, and with a word from the emperor, he became the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Baiguanmen trembled when he saw him, the hooligans were not afraid, they were afraid that the hooligans would become nobles, it was really an indescribable sour taste.
He and Xu Han glanced at each other, listened to the arguments of the officials, and waited until the emperor personally inquired, then stepped out of the queue and bowed,
"Back to Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for their remarks!"
"Everyone knows that the relationship between the minister and the little prince is very good......"
He pursed his lips, this friendship is really not shallow.
"Whether it is the Jiangnan fraud case at the beginning, or the money minting case that everyone is arguing about today, the minister thinks that the little prince has done a good job, and he is by no means a greedy person."
"Let me ask, every hall official standing in your hall has been extremely poor all his life, can he achieve the position of the little prince? Can you be crowned a marquis and a king? ”
With mockery in his eyes, he swept towards the two imperial historians,
"Can't do it, can it? So, what credit does the king of Zhenbei have? If she wants to, she will be her prince, as long as she does not rebel, she will be the prince for the rest of her life, and you will salute when you see her until you die, and you will be three points shorter. ”
"It's just a mere deputy commander, if it weren't for the sake of serving the court and His Majesty, would I be able to listen to your gossip here?"
"The little prince's temperament is sparse, if he really wants to be greedy, he has already checked it out in private and reported it again, after all, it is just outside the capital, and no one has found out about the private copper coins."
"If it weren't for the little prince, maybe this person would continue, how much harm this would bring to the imperial court, do you know?"
At the same time, this son wants to state once again that it was this son who was the one who executed Ma Jinshan in the first place...... It's not the little prince......"
"Come to think of it, I, the person of the Jinyi Guard, have the right to supervise the hundred officials, naturally, I also have the right to interrogate the criminal officials, Lord Yushi, right?"
Xiao Wei flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, his eyes were like knives, and he looked at the two imperial histories who had just spoken like a river.
Yu Shijia stared at his knife-like gaze, and couldn't help but say,
"Loose temperament, sparse people will be tortured by the former Huaiyang prefect Ma Jinshan, causing torture into a trick? Meddling in local civil affairs? ”
Xiao Wei didn't pay attention to him at all, the imperial historians just ate to find fault, black can be said to be white, and you can fight with others with a red face and a thick neck.
He is a dignified son, so he doesn't have to surrender his identity to argue with him at all.
Yu Shijia looked at Xiao Wei's appearance, as if he had punched cotton with a punch, and he was panicked in his chest in one breath.
The emperor sat on it, his face was calm all the time, and at last, he spoke,
"You all heard Xu Aiqing's performance just now, and I also went to court with my ears."
"I'm a little weird, Zheng Mingda." The emperor pointed at Yu Shi Jia and said, "I have already understood the Jiangnan fraud case, I don't know if you have any objections to my annotation or what?"
Today's privately minted copper coin case, what happened to you grasping the Jiangnan fraud case that has been closed? ”
"Do you have any new thoughts on this case?"
Yu Shi Jia, oh, Zheng Yu Shi was stunned when he heard this, "Back to Your Majesty, minister, there is no new opinion...... Just ......"
The emperor interrupted him and said, "It's good that there are no new views, since you said that Xu Aiqing shouldn't interfere, then how should you deal with this matter?" You can talk about it, so that you can give everyone a reference in the future. ”
This is a bit difficult, what should Zheng Yushi say? Tube? In spite of? It's all wrong.
Obviously in winter, Zheng Yushi only felt a layer of white hair crawling up on his back, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the cold wind outside the hall blew in, making him can't help but shrink a little.
The Emperor looked at him and continued,
"Since you don't know how to deal with it, then, I'll ask you again, why didn't I mention Xu Aiqing's merits?"
"It's all about saying that she shouldn't be like this, that she shouldn't be like that."
"Do you think I'm a faint king? Put a good-for-nothing man in my personal guard to take up an important position? ”
Zheng Yushi was about to kneel, but as the last bit of dignity of Yushi, let him hold on,
"The credit is naturally there, but the case in Qingshui Town is completely handed over to the magistrate, but why did she intervene directly, this is clearly because she wants to take the lead......"
What Lord Yushi didn't say was the quarrel in the court today, and it was all made up by Xu Han, if the magistrate reported it, where would there be such a situation.
The emperor will only send people to investigate thoroughly and arrest those who have minted copper coins privately.
Lord Jingzhao Yin Zhou, who was standing in the team, suddenly shook his head and said,
"Lord Zheng, you are too cautious, since Deputy Commander Xu reported the case, how can you take the lead?"
"Do you think that all the officials and His Majesty are all people with worrying IQs?"
Zheng Yushi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant. ”
The emperor above looked at everyone from above, the emperor's mental trick, called the lonely and widowed, above ten thousand people, the two imperial historians were so eager to drive Xu Han from the position of Jin Wuwei's commander, why?
The intention is self-evident.
He looked at Zheng Yushi, and made one last tolerant point, hoping that this Lord Yushi could stop in moderation,
"Just now, Xu Aiqing just reported the case in a regular manner, and just played what she saw and heard truthfully, where did she get her greedy words?
Also, she is a vassal king, but her position was given by me and the imperial court.
I haven't designated anyone to investigate this case yet, and you have already decided to let Xu Aiqing investigate? Otherwise, how can you say that about Xu Aiqing? “
"Since this is the case, then as you wish, this case will be handed over to Xu Aiqing, Xiao Wei and Xu Xiuyan will handle it together, and the people behind it must be found out and handled strictly."
Therefore, Xu Han stood there, without saying a word, listening to the quarrel of one ear, and finally the case fell into her hands.
If you know, you probably have to say that Xu Han may have eighteen tricks in her heart, and no one can calculate her.
Xiao Wei and Xu Xiuyan came out one after another and received the will.
……
The court meeting was dispersed, and the three princes also went out of the palace from the Donghua Gate, and as soon as they went out, they were stopped by a person who looked like a small house, and not far away stopped an eye-catching Qingweibu carriage, the curtain of the car was half opened, and inside was the face of the Marquis of Yongyi.
The prince and the courtiers are not allowed to make friends in private, but the prince and the marquis, who has no real power, and the relationship between the nephew and the uncle is another matter.
Even so, the three princes and the Marquis of Yongyi rarely meet, speaking of which, the three princes of the Marquis of Yongyi rarely go, and the Marquis of Yongyi rarely go to the Three Princes' Mansion.
I'm afraid it will attract the suspicion of the dragon chair god king.
The nephews and uncles found a hidden teahouse and asked for a private room, but there was not much excitement or joy on their faces.
In the end, the third prince spoke first, pinched the tea cup in his hand and said,
"Today, although the little prince of Zhenbei was attacked and annihilated in the court, His Majesty still handed over the case to her to deal with, this is ......"
Yongyi Hou has actually been very embarrassed these days, he used silver in the Jiangnan fraud case, and he avoided it, but in the end, he lost his sacred heart, and now His Majesty has almost never summoned him.
Coupled with the time when Mrs. Shizi and Princess Anping sat down, Xiao Xiao broke into the mansion and made a big fuss, it can be said that the face of the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion was trampled on.
Even so, Yongyi Hou just looked a little haggard, and he didn't completely collapse.
After all, the emperor did not deprive him of his title, but he did not summon him, as long as after a while, the limelight passed, and the emperor would still think of him.
He said to the three princes,
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry, although Your Majesty has asked you to think about the Jiangnan fraud case behind closed doors, but now that you are not out, you are still in and out of the court, the case of the Huo family back then, Your Majesty can tolerate it, then, everything else is nothing."
"Your Majesty did not ascend the throne properly back then, so he naturally thought that his children and grandchildren could be upright, and he would treat his children and grandchildren well, so as long as His Majesty continues to maintain his obscurity, he will not worry that His Majesty will not change his mind."
He lowered his voice and said, "Now that the prince is thinking about overturning the case for the Huo family, isn't this pulling out the tiger's whiskers?" ”
"To put it mildly, His Majesty looks benevolent and gentle and indisputable, but if such a person is really such a person, can it be his turn to be the youngest prince on the dragon chair?
That's why I advise you to hide in the shadows, after all, Your Majesty is very fond of you. ”
The third prince groaned in the grass,
"Back then, I was ordered to go to White Emperor City to supervise the army, thinking that my father would not have the heart of Yi Chu, so I was a little discouraged, so I had the idea of the military power of the Huo family's army."
"I didn't expect it, but I still miscalculated in the end."
Who could have known that the people of the Huo family were so fierce, the Huo family army was really beaten, and they could only watch Xu Jun gather the remnants.
And the Xu family ......
When the three princes thought of today's scene, their hearts were cold for a while, and they were hot for a while, and they always felt that the supreme position was sometimes close at a late pace, and sometimes far away in the sky.
Suddenly, he squeezed the hand holding the tea cup and asked in a deep voice,
"The death of the owner of the gambling house has nothing to do with you, right?"
