Chapter 773: A Brief Victory
Seeing the queen mother's hesitation, the ministers suddenly secretly screamed in their hearts.
You must know that the Queen Mother is different from the Queen Mother Yici, she is not a concubine born in a regular draft, so she is naturally not a family of poetry and books, but she is just an ordinary woman, and she doesn't know much about things, and she doesn't have the experience of being in charge of the Six Palaces like the Empress Dowager Yici, so she only knows a little about the government, and she doesn't know much, she must just subconsciously feel that killing people is not good, plus she sees so many ministers admonishing together, so she will give advice, but as soon as the words of the Son of Heaven came out, will inevitably make the Queen Mother change her mind, in the final analysis, the Queen Mother is still the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, and her heart must still be towards the Son of Heaven.
This is not good, it is very uncomfortable to see the opportunity slipping away in front of me, so the minister suddenly made up his mind, and after a while, the university scholar Zhu Geng said.
"The Queen Mother, that Youshi Ren is a great crime, and it should be dealt with, but in my dynasty for decades, there is no case of killing Wenchen, Your Majesty wants to kill Youshi Ren, one of which is inconsistent with the law, the second is inconsistent with the etiquette, and the third is also detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation, if this matter is spread, it will inevitably make the foreign ministers talk about Your Majesty's indistinguishability from right and wrong, and willful! The nobles offended Tianyan and instigated the imperial history to detain the Que, the crime was unforgivable, and the ministers thought that they should be exiled for 3,000 miles, so that they could not only deter the younger generations, but also show His Majesty's benevolence and generosity! Please Niang Mingjian! ”
"Niangniang, the minister also thinks so, the trial of any case of the wanderer is too hasty, although the evidence is conclusive, but if he is killed, it will inevitably make people criticize His Majesty for not accepting advice, annoyed and angry, and his Majesty's reputation will be damaged!"
At this moment, the other contradictions in the cabinet naturally have to be put aside for the time being, and Wang Xijue also followed Zhu Geng's train of thought and said.
Thinking about it, even if she doesn't care about fame today, as today's biological mother, the queen mother will always care!
"Really?"
When the Queen Mother saw so many cabinet ministers saying this, she couldn't help but waver again, and turned to the Son of Heaven and asked.
At this moment, even if the Son of Heaven was cheeky, he didn't dare to say that You Shiren's case was completely clear and understood, so he had to say vaguely.
"Mother is too worried, when this case was heard, the three divisions were all there, and no one raised objections, even if it was spread out, no one would talk nonsense!"
"Qi Yu Niangniang, when this case was heard, although the three divisions were all there, but the three divisions only verified the facts of the case and did not make a judgment, Your Majesty disposed of it so much in Youshiren, the punishment was too heavy, and it violated the laws of our dynasty!"
As soon as the Son of Heaven's voice fell, what no one expected was that the first one to jump out was Li Tingji, a scholar of Dongge University.
Li Ge Lao still had the same righteous tone as outside the Chengtian Gate, and he spoke unceremoniously.
"Li Tingji! What nonsense are you talking about, when I was sentenced, all the ministers of the court were there, and no one raised any objections, why did I talk so much after returning to the palace meeting, did you really deceive my youth, and wanted to change my order? ”
The Son of Heaven seemed to be angered by Li Ge Lao's tone all of a sudden, and he roared angrily.
"Shut up!"
But there were even more angry, I saw the queen mother screaming, and she stood up directly from the soft couch angrily, pointing at the emperor.
"Mr. Li is your mentor, is that how you talk to him?"
"Mother, I ......"
The Son of Heaven's tone suddenly weakened, and he turned around to explain, but the Queen Mother was obviously very angry and waved her hand.
"Needless to say, since the gentlemen have said so, the mourning family naturally believes in the gentlemen, the emperor will stop grinding with the mourning family here, and hurry back to deal with this matter, the mourning family doesn't know any big truth, but the mourning family knows that they have made a mistake, they must admit it, don't make a big mistake for the sake of face!"
"This, Mother ......"
The Son of Heaven looked aggrieved, but in the end, he had to arch his hand and say cowardly.
"In accordance with the Empress Dowager's decree, my son will retire!"
The ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and as the emperor withdrew from the Cining Palace, as for leaving the palace gate, the emperor directly sank his face, and left the ministers without saying a word, his attitude was obviously very angry.
However, the ministers are not worried, after all, the Queen Mother has already made a decree, and the emperor has also agreed, this matter is basically a certainty, and the emperor will not even be able to take back what he said!
Even though the Son of Heaven is thoughtful, he will not break his word and gain weight in this kind of matter, otherwise, it will be really difficult to convince the public in the future......
"Motosuke, what's the situation?"
Out of the Chengtian Gate, a cadre of ministers outside is still waiting, of course, it is definitely not kneeling under the sun and waiting, you know, the outside of the Chengtian Gate is very close to the offices of various ministries, such a big sun, a cadre of elders is naturally looking for a shady place, drinking herbal tea and waiting.
However, as soon as these cabinet ministers came out, these elders rushed up one after another and asked.
"Your Majesty, we are waiting for the will!"
Before Wang Xijue could speak, it was a certain elder surnamed Li who came out.
Suddenly made the people present frown a little, today this Li Ge Lao seemed to be a little carried away, but Wang Xijue didn't care, and said with a smile.
"What Elder Li Ge said is true, we are waiting for the will!"
Seeing the relaxed demeanor of a group of cabinet ministers, the group of bosses outside gradually relaxed their hearts, since these ministers who entered the palace said so, then I think there will be no problem.
But when I think about it, today's events are really thrilling, these brainless young people really think that the deduction is a joke, if it weren't for them, where would the emperor have the opportunity to take advantage of the topic to play, and almost even broke the rule of not killing Wenchen......
Fortunately, in this struggle, they are the ones who persevered to the end!
A group of people were relieved, but there were also people who were still worried with persecution paranoia, such as Lord Sun, a certain official of the Ministry of Officials, who looked at the relieved look of a group of people, and then looked at the big sun above their heads, and said worriedly.
"Lord Motosuke, have you really convinced Your Majesty? But why is it that there is still no news in the palace until now, you know, it is less than a moment before three o'clock in the afternoon, and I am afraid that the Lord General Xian can at most stop the Jinyi Wei from executing in advance, if it is three o'clock in the afternoon, they still can't see His Majesty's will......"
Speaking of this, Wang Xijue suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he suddenly realized that today's things seemed to be a little too smooth, or was it really just delaying time with the previous actions of the Son of Heaven?
But before the old Shoufu could think clearly, he heard a minister shouting beside him.
"Look, everyone, someone is in the palace!"
