Chapter 168: Self-Inflicted Consequences
At this moment, a word suddenly sounded in the Zilan Palace, which made the noisy scene like a vegetable market just now, and immediately became silent and quiet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Before, the Supervision Yuan carried out a large-scale arrest of the six departments, Lord Xiao Zhang, can you give a response now?"
I have to say that this question is very quality.
First, it is because the Supervision Yuan has not given an explanation so far, and everyone is constantly speculating about it, and secondly, because Mowen is not present at the moment.
And because of the second reason, he feels that this is a premeditated target.
What the answer is, it no longer matters at the moment, the purpose of this move is to embarrass oneself and humiliate the Supervisory Yuan.
And who instructed the officials, then this is self-evident.
But just now, there was a sudden strong hostility, which made Zhang Hua wonder if this was a temptation for the master behind the scenes? To test the current Supervision Yuan, to what extent has it been carried out.
Whether it is the Kyoto power lord or the main man behind the scenes, Zhang Hua couldn't help but think deeply.
At this time, when the official saw that Zhang Hua was silent now, he couldn't help but speak again, and his voice was raised a little and he shouted: "Lord Xiao Zhang! ”
This voice immediately woke up Zhang Hua, and the eyebrows that he had just appeared before immediately dissipated.
He glanced at him resentfully, and when Zhang Hua was just about to answer, Tang Peng on the side opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask who this adult is?" ”
"This official is Zhou Changhai, the squire of the Ministry of History."
"It turned out to be Lord Zhou." After Tang Peng heard the identity of the other party, he opened his mouth and smiled, but after this smile, Tang Peng's face suddenly became gloomy.
Staring at Zhou Changhai deadly, he asked, "There is no need to tell outsiders about the actions of the Supervision Yuan, and no one can interfere in it except for His Majesty today."
Now that Lord Zhou is like this, does he want to replace His Majesty and become the lord of Nanqing? ”
The ministers were in an uproar!
Tang Peng's big hat that should be more serious than betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy was buttoned down, which made the civil and military swords constantly argue, not because of Tang Peng's sharp words.
It was because of Mowen's absence at the moment, and the two young people were shocked by the willingness of the two young people to take the initiative to carry the banner.
"Huangkou child, don't lie and frame the official!" Zhou Changhai was sweating down at the moment, pointing his finger at Tang Peng, and he shouted loudly.
Tang Peng sneered, glanced at the gaze of the civil official group behind Zhou Changhai at him, came back to his senses, and continued: "Since it's not, then please don't ask Lord Zhou, otherwise if you continue, you will have a hard time arguing, and your reputation will really be gone." ”
Coming sideways to Zhou Changhai's ear, Tang Peng said in a low voice: "Lord Zhou, it's almost all right, and in the future, I may really want to invite you to tea in the Qiangtou Supervision Institute." ”
Zhou Changhai's body was shocked, and he looked at Tang Peng in a daze, originally wanting to open his mouth to refute Tang Peng, in order to prove that he was not afraid of the integrity of power, but as soon as he heard the three words of the Supervision Yuan, he was like a balloon that was deflated, and he suddenly wilted and stood motionless.
Tang Peng smiled, his palm was slightly forced, making Zhou Changhai look like he turned around, and with a gentle push, Zhou Changhai also walked back to the civil official group in a daze.
Tang Peng was not complacent because of this, and used his current momentum to make a drama of fighting Confucianism.
Just kidding, if you really fight with the civil officials, then you are their opponents.
Nodding at the civil official group, he also immediately pressed the shoulder of the painting and let him sit, and so did himself.
After finishing, he immediately took a sip of the spirits in the glass and was terrified before dissolving.
"You gave birth to a good son." Shen Qiu, who was far away, turned his head sideways and whispered in Tang Ning's ear at this moment.
Tang Ning smiled and didn't respond, but the pride that appeared between his eyebrows already represented his heart.
"But aren't you really going to make a move? That group of sour literati clearly wanted Zhang Hua and Tang Peng to be frustrated at this moment, so that the Supervision Yuan could not raise their heads.
Although these two boys can have some ability, but there is more than one Zhou Changhai to face next, and civil officials have to be capable, you and I are clear.
It was good to get in touch with it early, but because of it, you failed, and then you had scruples. If you slump, then you will lose sight of one or the other. ”
Shen Qiu said worriedly, as a famous bastard in Nanqing, his eyesight and mind are still thriving in the court, which is the best proof.
At this moment, he will not be clear about the intentions of those civil officials, and most of them are opposed to the revival of the Supervision Yuan.
Now that His Majesty and Mowen are not there, they will miss this God-given opportunity.
This is true for ordinary neutrals, not to mention the recent powers that have reined in their minions.
The bloody rain and bloody wind are the precursors, and the wind is always calm, but the calmer and more leisurely, the bigger the storm behind, if it is really left alone, Shen Qiu is now worried that something bad will really happen.
But Tang Ning didn't think so at the moment, he methodically picked up the wine glass in front of him, and after looking at another person standing up on the other side, he muttered to Shen Qiu: "Sooner or later, they will all have to go through this, and it may not be bad to be early."
What's more, do you really think that my kid and that Zhang Hua are vegetarians?
If these two boys are ruthless, and there is a supervision to make the identity of the person, maybe they will do something shocking in the next second.
Look at it, they won't be so easy to impress. ”
Shen Qiu glanced at Tang Ning strangely, he was a little confused about the confidence that Tang Ning came from now?
However, after seeing that Tang Ning had no intention of speaking, he simply shut up and read it seriously.
"The two inspectors, this official has a doubt, can you answer it?"
At this time, another person came out and asked, Zhang Hua and Tang Peng glanced at each other, Zhang Hua saw Tang Peng struggling with himself, and after signaling himself to appear, Zhang Hua stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" Adults, please speak. ”
After the official came out and saw that it was Zhang Hua, he was a little stunned, but he regained his calm in a blink of an eye, looked at Zhang Hua seriously, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose and asked: "Xiao Zhang, what kind of person do you think should be held as a supervisor?" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Hua frowned and was puzzled, although it was not difficult to say that this topic was not very difficult, but Zhang Hua was vague, and the other party was now setting himself up.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Hua said: "The position of the superintendent is no more than others, except for the dean, the most powerful, in addition to being loyal to His Majesty and not afraid of power, it is also extremely important to be honest and see through vanity and wealth." ”
"Being an upright person and seeing through vanity and wealth is reasonable." The official nodded and said, but then suddenly turned his head and asked sharply: "Then dare to ask Lord Xiao Zhang, can you do these two things now?" ”
A plain word, but everyone in the Zilan Hall suddenly smelled a smell of mountain rain at this moment, which was very strong, and it was impossible not to pay attention to it.
"I'm now in the Supervision Yuan's Xuanzi Inspectorate, my lord, do you think I've done it?" Zhang Hua asked rhetorically without moving.
The officials were not surprised, as if they were all walking according to the plan that had been made, with ease and without the slightest haste.
But the more the official behaved like this, the more uneasy Zhang Hua's inner feeling became.
"Lord Xiao Zhang's demeanor in Kyoto is remarkable, not only on the list of the imperial examination, but also in the examination papers, a class of examination questions, won the only first class, of course the official has nothing to say.
However, I'm afraid that this was not the case in the past, right? ”
"Adults have something to say, don't beat around the bush." Zhang Hua said calmly.
After hearing this, the official also nodded in agreement, and then the speed of speech couldn't help but speed up.
"Lord Xiao Zhang is from Stone City?"
"That's right."
"Except for one of my grandfathers, there are no relatives in the family?"
"Exactly."
"A year ago, you ended up in prison for killing a civilian, but that's it!"
Rumble!
At this moment, everyone's hearts remembered a muffled thunder, and they were immediately at a loss, and looked at Zhang Hua stupidly.
Murder, to be honest, most of you here today have done it.
Civil officials "kill" with their pens, military generals use weapons in their hands to kill the enemy's heads, and even some ministers who have won because of conflicts of interest, they also do such unsightly things.
And this kind of thing, everyone knows it, but this kind of thing, secretly known and put on the surface, these are two completely different concepts
If you don't say it, there is still a chance to make amends and save it, and even if you say it, you are ready to turn everything upside down. If you control it well, then not only will you be fine, but you will end up with a reputation as a loyal martyr.
But now, in the Zilan Palace, under the noses of all the famous people in Kyoto, he suddenly said this in an affirmative tone.
So even if Zhang Hua didn't do it, in most people's hearts, the matter is about to be decided, as if it were true.
Especially now that Zhang Hua has been silent for a long time, this matter has become even more real and reliable.
"Humph! The Supervision Yuan really deserves its name, and after it is revived, its reputation has not faded and has flourished. ”
Before, Zhou Changhai retreated in embarrassment. At this moment, the stones fell, adding fuel to the fire, and said in a strange manner.
And after hearing this, the compatriots on his side also nodded disdainfully to cooperate with his opening.
"The person who has a lawsuit on his back is actually admitted to the Supervision Yuan, and he is in an important position.
It seems that tomorrow we will go to Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter, otherwise such incidents will spread outside, and the people will still think that my Nanqing Dynasty is really a place to hide filth and dirt. An imperial historian spoke.
And his opening seemed to have completely confirmed that Zhang Hua had really killed someone, not only that, but the insinuation of the Supervision Institute inside made Tang Pengqi's body tremble.
"What Lord Liu said is reasonable, tomorrow the next official will also be sparse together, originally the revival of the Supervision Yuan was His Majesty's impulsive move, but now it seems necessary to put everything back on track."
"That's right, it's long overdue."
……
……
More and more rhetoric against Zhang Hua and the Supervisory Yuan. At this moment, the bee chrysalis appeared, and Zhang Hua's inaction at the moment made Tang Peng angry on the side.
Regardless of whether Zhang Hua's murder really happened or not, Tang Peng felt that he had to do something now, supported the ground with both hands, and immediately prepared to get up, but Zhao Yunhai on the side pressed his shoulder more and more and asked him to sit down again.
"Uncle Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Tang Peng looked at Zhao Yunhai in confusion, Zhao Yunhai looked at Zhang Hua, who was floating alone on the lonely sea, and he said softly: "Don't worry, he will solve it." ”
But Zhao Yunhai's words like this didn't make Tang Peng feel at ease at all, but Zhao Yunhai's right hand, which was pressed on his shoulder, seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai.
After several attempts to get up, but in the end to no avail, Tang Peng could gasp for breath and had no choice but to give up.
At this time, Zhang Hua, who had been silent, finally responded, and his opening made the noisy court quiet.
"Dare to ask this lord, where did you know about this?" Zhang Hua asked.
The official smiled and responded: "I just heard about it, and I had doubts before, and I wanted to ask Lord Xiao Zhang for a long time, but because Lord Xiao Zhang was busy with work, I couldn't see each other."
Now that I have mentioned this matter, if there is any offense, I hope that Lord Xiao Zhang will forgive me. ”
"I heard?" After Zhang Hua muttered again, he smiled quietly, turned around, and said, "What my lord said before is true, I did fall into prison because of a murder case. ”
Zhang Hua said so, but saw his own "admit it personally." This made some people in the civil official group immediately reach a climax, and he immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, and quickly said: "Your Excellency, please be quiet for a moment, can you let me finish my words and then make a definition?" ”
"Humph! If Lord Xiao Zhang doesn't give a reasonable explanation today, tomorrow we will definitely meet Your Majesty and make you ruined! ”
"Threatening Ben Baby? I'm afraid to die. ”
Zhang Hua coughed and said slowly: "What this adult said is true, I was indeed in a murder case at the beginning, but what the adult said is very different from the real situation.
Because the man who died was not a civilian, but a kidnapper who kidnapped me. ”
"Kidnappers?"
"Not bad." Zhang Hua nodded and said, recalling the past, he suddenly became gloomy, and after a quick adjustment, he continued: "After I and another girl were kidnapped, I saw that the bandits had the intention of hurting the two of us, so I resisted. In the process of fighting, this will kill the bandits by mistake.
Afterwards, Shicheng stabbed Shi Zhao's Mansion, Lord Zhao has thoroughly investigated the matter, and there is a record in Shicheng, if you don't believe it, you can check it out.
However, the old cases in the past need to be consulted, which requires the order of the Ministry of War, not to mention, Shicheng and Kyoto are thousands of miles apart, and I am afraid that you will come and go back and forth, which is also a full two months. ”
Zhang Hua said this, then stopped, and did not continue.
The meaning of his words is very clear, just for a matter that has already been decided, spending two months, not only has no gain, but also has to suffer from bumps, which is not worth it at all. Let's go to bed.
And after hearing Zhang Hua's words, especially the imperial history who had just threatened to go to the court tomorrow, their expressions were also ugly, recalling their faces, they couldn't wait to give themselves a mouthful.
Compared with them, the generals on the other side were proud and very comfortable.
At this moment, after the official saw that Zhang Hua had solved the problem of his "out", he was gloomy and ready to retreat, but how could Zhang Hua easily let him go
"Your Excellency, please stay." Zhang Hua looked at the officials who came out seriously, and then tentatively asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, but Jiang Bo from the Criminal Department?" ”
"Exactly... I wonder if Master Zhang can give me any advice? Jiang Bo saw at this moment that after Zhang Hua's posture of preparing to fight back, he said stupidly.
"I don't dare to give advice, but I heard that Lord Jiang was happy with your son three years ago, I don't know if this is true or not?"
"The dog was indeed born three years ago."
"It's like this, Master Jiang, I heard that your son can read a thousand words and read a hundred books at the age of three, and he is named a prodigy by the people.
But his face and appearance are different from Lord Jiang everywhere, on the contrary, he is exactly the same as the royal family next door, could it be that the son of Lord Jiang is not from himself? ”
Zhang Hua said. Jiang Bo was stunned when he heard this, and then anger appeared on his face, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but Zhang Hua preemptively said coldly: "It's just that I heard about it, why should Lord Jiang care so much?" ”
Jiang Bo was stunned, and after a while, a dead color appeared on his face, not only him, but most of the officials in the civil official group at this moment are not looking good.
And the military general who was sitting opposite was now sneering, and four words appeared in his heart at the same time, reaping the consequences!
