Chapter 63: The Princes Ask for Intercession and Punishment and Dismissal
In the Xianyang East Palace, Zhang Cang and Fusu sat opposite each other, both of them were full of helplessness, Zhang Cang usually would not come to Xianyang's son's residence at all, and this time he came for nothing more than Lu Yan's matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Childe, please save Ziyu, he is still young, but he has only learned the origins, if he suffers such a big disaster at such an age, it is really a pity." Zhang Cang said with some grievances.
Although he is one of the three dukes, Yingzheng trusts only Li Si Wangjuan's generation, so it is difficult for Zhang Cang to intercede in front of Yingzheng alone, so he has to come to ask for help from Fusu Gongzi.
"What Zhang Yushi said is extremely true, but looking at this matter itself, Lu Yan is indeed wrong, if the empire does not sanction it, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Fusu Gongzi also said helplessly.
Zhang Cang took a sip of tea with a little sadness, "Childe's words are wrong, it is difficult to find the second in the Ziyu Talent Empire, if such a talent suffers a big mistake because of a trivial matter, just ask who in this world is willing to serve the empire, wouldn't it be that he has ruined the road of talent." Zhang Cang said with a little thought.
Fusu thought about it a little in his heart, and actually felt that what Zhang Cang said was reasonable, Zhang Cang was a master of learning strategy after all, and it was not a problem to fool Fusu casually.
"Zhang Yushi is reasonable, Fusu doesn't know how to bow down, but I don't know how Yushi rescued Ziyu?" Fusu asked very respectfully.
"Now Ziyu is in prison, completely because of the falling of the stars, if it is nonsense, the king must think that we are disrespectful to God, in the humble opinion, tomorrow the palace can directly intercede, now Ziyu is actually demoted to a slave, he is only seventeen years old, how can he stand the heavy work, even if he is guilty and exempted." Zhang Cang said with some pity.
Fusu personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Cang, "The punishment of being reduced to a slave is really a bit serious, and I am willing to intercede in front of the king tomorrow." Fusu readily agreed to Zhang Cang's request.
While the two were talking, Meng Yi also rushed in from outside, Zhang Cang was even more proud in his heart, he originally wanted to go to Meng Yi's mansion to meet him in person, but he didn't expect Meng Yi to come in person.
"Meng Shangqing, I don't know how the life of Zhongziyu in the Tingwei Division is?" Zhang Cang said with some concern.
"Don't mention it, he and the officials of the Fengchang Department beat everyone in Si Tiantai, and they were very proud to lean in prison, and they arranged everything as if they were expected." Meng Yi spoke eloquently.
"As expected, did Ziyu know that I would come to Fusu Mansion." Zhang Cang asked puzzled.
Meng Yi took a cup of tea and drank it, "Needless to say, he knew that Yushi was in the East Palace, so he specially asked me to go to Wangyi Palace to beg Prince Hu Hai, but I didn't expect Prince Hu Hai to agree casually, and he was quite worried." ā
Hearing Meng Yi say this, Zhang Cang and Fusu were a little surprised, "Meng Shangqing, please say a few more words for Ziyu tomorrow in the court, it's a bit of a shame to be reduced to a slave." Zhang Cang said slowly.
"The words of the imperial history, Meng Yi remember, it is indeed a bit too much to be reduced to a slave, with the strength of you and me, you can still keep Ziyu." Meng Yi said confidently.
In the evening, in the Wangyi Palace, the attendants who went out also rushed back from outside, and Hu Hai also immediately got up from the wooden chair, and his face seemed to be expectant.
"Have you clearly drawn the location of the Fengchang Office and the Si Tiantai?" Hu Hai asked excitedly.
The attendant gasped slightly, and at the same time took out the map he had obtained from his bosom and spread it out on the wooden table for Hu Hai Gongzi.
Hu Hai observed very carefully and found that the place where the stars fell was not far in front of Si Tiantai, and the Fengchang place was at the east gate of Xianyang, and they were far away.
In ancient times, in order to observe the stars, they liked to build buildings on the mountain, which is the so-called stargazing platform or moon gazing platform, all of which were attributed to the Si Tiantai.
It is normal for the stars to fall on the hills, and it is very close to Si Tiantai, after all, it is impossible to build Si Tiantai in Xianyang Palace, so who knows if you are observing the stars or the emperor's nightlife.
"This time Si Tiantai is going to be unlucky, the stars fall so close, it must be Si Tiantai's fault, prepare clothes, and my son will go to court tomorrow." Hu Hai said very confidently.
The waiter didn't know anything, just do what Childe said, as long as Childe was happy, anything was easy to say.
The next morning, the place where the meteorite had fallen had been cleaned up, except for the stones, a fence had been built in the other place, and the soldiers had gone down into the pit, and the round stone was just a magnet.
The armor worn by these soldiers was nothing more than pig iron, so they were sucked in as soon as they went down, but they were not strong enough to break free and leave.
This thing was recorded as early as 600 years BC, and it is not surprising to everyone, but at that time it was not called a magnet but a cishi.
Among the Xianyang Palace, today is particularly lively, there are several more people than usual, the most eye-catching of which is only seventeen-year-old Hu Hai Gongzi.
However, Ying Zheng didn't care about this, "Meng Shangqing, can there be progress in the falling of the stars?" Ying Zheng asked a little tiredly, these days because of this matter, Ying Zheng has been reflecting all day long.
"Your Majesty, the fall of the stars has been ascertained, but it is just a magnet, and there is nothing unusual about it." Meng Yi immediately replied.
Li Si also couldn't bear the loneliness, and immediately walked out of the queue, "King Qiqi, no matter what it is, it is always a thing from the sky, and if there is a red tail, it must be a demon. Li Si said very respectfully.
Ying Zheng was about to hesitate to decide, Zhang Cang and Fusu came out at the same time, "The ministers thought that this matter was degraded to Lu Yan as a slave is really a bit too much, after all, it is just a trivial matter, and it is so heavily punished, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have capable people to serve my Daqin in the future." Zhang Cang said first.
Fusu next to him also echoed, after all, Fusu's eloquence is not as good as Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang said it first, and Fusu can flatter him a little.
"If the law is not strict, it will not be believed, and Lu Yan should be severely punished in this way, so that he can set an example and warn future generations." Li Si also said without backing down.
"What do Wang Juan and Feng Zheng think?" Ying Zheng asked the captain and the right minister on the side.
"The ministers are no different, and it is all up to the king to decide." Feng Zheng and Wang Juan said at the same time, and then passed the ball to Ying Zheng, who was very helpless.
At this moment, Hu Hai walked out of the queue, "Erchen thinks that this time the star fall is completely the responsibility of Si Tiantai, yesterday Erchen specially checked the location of the star fall, which is directly in front of Si Tiantai, which is clearly a warning to Si Tiantai that he did not predict the heavy snow in Yingdu County some time ago. ā
"Although Lu Yan is guilty, it has nothing to do with the fall of the stars, so Erchen is foolish, behead Si Tiantai and other officials, and set up another Si Tianbu, as for Ziyu, you can remove the official." Hu Hai said slowly.
