Chapter 30: The Crown Prince is at stake
When Liu Biao rushed to the palace, there were only a few ministers, "I just said that the time was in time, you kid pulled me over, it's a shame!" ”
Shi Jia also gasped, "Weichen is just worried about the prince, and I ask the prince not to punish him, and the minister will definitely correct it in the future." When he spoke, he didn't forget to help Liu Biao tidy up his clothes.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, you go to wait outside the palace first, and then discuss things later." Liu Biao said very casually.
As soon as Shi Jia left, many ministers also began to enter the palace, and Liu Zheng also walked in from the apse, and saw that Liu Biao was already standing in the front hall, and he was quite happy.
"Kid, it's a good habit to come early, but it's going to be late in the future." Liu Zheng said in a low voice.
Liu Biao didn't understand a little, and immediately stepped forward and moved two steps, "Father, you don't understand what the child is saying, isn't it rude to be late?" ”
Liu Zheng immediately waved his hand, "This etiquette is set by the emperor's family, as long as we don't make mistakes in principle, besides, as a member of the royal family, how can we wait for the minister?" This will be very shameless, so in the future, as long as the minister waits for us. ”
"It seems that the father is a person who has come over, the child has been taught, and he really can't get used to those ministers, and the son doesn't say much, after all, this court is still the father's." Liu Biao said and retreated to the bottom.
Soon after the rising sun, the monarch and the ministers finished their ceremony, and Wulu Chongzong was the first to come out, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a twist and turn, you can take a look first." ”
As he spoke, he handed the fold to the attendant, and Liu Zheng took it a little dazedly, "In addition to the recent affairs of the Huns, is there anything important?" ”
Wulu Chongzong scratched his head, "Actually, these are not big deals, but some people don't abide by etiquette, which is really insulting to Confucianism." ”
Liu Zheng frowned slightly, and slowly opened the fold, but his face turned from blank to happy, "Yo, yes, Kuang Heng, your son has found a maid, this taste is a bit low." ”
Kuang Heng's old face instantly turned red, "This matter has been there for a long time, Shang Shu has brought up the old matter again, what is the intention, please let Your Majesty know." ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a few scolding words. Saying that your own children can't control it, how to manage the country, how to honor your parents, you yourself are thinking about it, is it a corpse vegetarian meal? Liu Zheng shook the music and said very casually.
Kuang Heng was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the dog is just looking for a concubine, there is no need to rise to this level at all, please ask Your Majesty to discuss the matter, Your Majesty, you yourself said, is there any disaster in this country besides floods?" ”
Liu Zheng touched his chin and nodded slightly, as if this was the truth, "Old Prime Minister, but no matter what, he has no way to teach his son, and he should be punished." ”
"Then what kind of punishment does Your Majesty think is appropriate?" Kuang Heng asked in a low voice.
At this time, Liu Biao understood better than anyone else in his heart that the reason why Wulu Chongzong slandered Kuang Heng was very simple, completely because of food.
So, Liu Biao stood up with righteousness and awe, "Father, the prime minister is too old to bear corporal punishment, so according to the advice of his son, he will be deducted for half a year." ”
When Kuang Heng heard this, he immediately sank his face, "What, prince, half a year's worth seems to be a bit much, Your Majesty, did you say it?" ”
Liu Zheng looked left and right for a while, his thin body lay on the throne, and asked in a low voice: "I think it's okay, it's not much for half a year." ”
Kuang Heng saw Liu Zheng's statement, his expression turned solemn, "What Your Majesty said is that as a courtier, if you do something wrong, you should be punished, but it is only half a year's money, and the minister is willing to be punished!" ”
The crown prince is the crown prince after all, so Kuang Heng still has room for maneuver, but now that Emperor Yuan has also spoken, the grades of the two are different, and Kuang Heng has to accept it happily.
At this time, Liu Zheng moved his eyes to Wulu Chongzong's body, this recital was written by him, although the signature was Shi Xian, but he still had to ask him if he was satisfied.
Wulu Chongzong will also observe the words and feelings, and immediately replied: "The crown prince is smart, and the matter is solved impeccably, and Weichen has no complaints. ”
Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and a few people retreated, but the court is a place of struggle after all, Kuang Heng just retreated, but Zhai Fangjin in the back stepped forward, and now his official position belongs to Prime Minister Sizhi, he should be ranked in Jiuqing, and there is room to speak, he is not very old, and he has rich experience in officialdom.
"It turned out to be the prime minister's assistant, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Zheng asked curiously.
Zhai Fangjin took out the bamboo slip directly from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Shi Xian, Jiao Liang, and Wulu Chongzong, embezzle the property of the Huns, and send troops to provide disaster relief food!" ”
The words were sonorous and powerful, and Shi Xian next to Emperor Yuan was a little stunned, this matter is related to the crown prince, what the consequences are, he should know better than anyone else.
Wulu Chongzong wanted to come out to refute, Shi Xian waved his hand slightly to signal him not to act rashly, and Liu Biao also panicked at this time.
"I'm going, I'm only caring about having a good relationship with Kuang Heng these days, his apprentice didn't expect to be such an upright person, this thing shook out, and all of them were smashed." Liu Biao thought secretly in his heart.
"Bring it up and show me." Just when several people were thinking differently, Liu Zheng motioned for him to present the fold.
Liu Zheng held the bamboo slip, the hall became lifeless, and Shi Xian tried to move towards Liu Zheng's side, hoping to see the content on it.
Liu Zheng glanced at Shi Xian, "You old boy, there's not enough for you to stand over there, what are you squeezing on my side, don't you want to get mixed up!" ”
Shi Xian retreated to the side with a disgraced face, and Liu Zheng's face was happy to angry, and then angry to happy, and then put the bamboo slip on the case.
Liu Zheng glanced down, and everyone didn't dare to speak out, including the crown prince Liu Wei, "Don't be so nervous, I still have to praise my son about this matter." ”
"Originally, there was only 100,000 stone of food for disaster relief, but I never expected that my son would get 400,000, not very powerful, although it was said that Shi Xian was corrupt, but in the end the food was donated, and it was okay not to check." Liu Zheng said happily.
Zhai Fangjin seemed unwilling to give in, and said very directly: "Your Majesty, it is normal for Shi Xian to be corrupt, but there is too much corruption this time, if it weren't for the prince's wit, I'm afraid that 300,000 grains would have to make Shi Xian eat kickbacks." ”
Without waiting for Liu Zheng to react, Shi Xian immediately jumped and said: "You kid tell me again, it's normal for anyone to be corrupt, and it is precisely because the prince is here that Lao Tzu did not get food, and he lost 30,000 yuan inside and out!" ”
Wulu Chongzong saw that Shi Xian had missed his mouth, and immediately stepped forward to explain: "This time the 400,000 grain, in fact, we also took out 50,000, which can just offset the corruption, and please think twice." ”
