Chapter 121: Sue the Emperor

Just when Zhang Baoer regretted taking the dart, the middle-aged scholar who entrusted the dart had already strode towards Chengtianmen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

His name is Yan Qinrong, and he is just an eight-rank petty official in Guozijian.

"Stop! What do you do? Sergeant Yulin, who was guarding the door, shouted.

"I'm here to sue, someone wants to rebel!" Yan Qinrong said to the sergeant.

At this time, the captain who led the team came over, and he asked, "Who are you going to sue for rebellion?" ”

"How can I tell you about such a confidential matter? I can't say it until I'm in front of the saint. Yan Qinrong shook his head and said.

The lieutenant was stunned, and he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly reported it to Zong Chuke, the first assistant prime minister.

Zong Chuke called Yan Qinrong over, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Xia Guan is the son of the country, and the supervisor Bo Yan Qinrong."

"Do you know who I am?" Zong Chuke asked again.

"Of course you know, you are the head of the Imperial Auxiliary Sect Elder!"

"Okay, tell me, who are you going to sue for rebellion?"

"The lower official wants to sue Princess Taiping for rebellion against King Xiang." Yan Qinrong said loudly.

"Princess Taiping and King Xiang?" Zong Chuke couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Princess Taiping and King Xiang are the thorns in Queen Wei's eyes, and Zong Chuke, as the prime minister carried by Queen Wei, naturally knows the master's thoughts. When he heard that Yan Qinrong was going to sue these two for rebellion, how could he not be happy?

However, in order to be on the safe side, Zong Chuke continued to ask: "Princess Taiping and King Xiang are His Majesty's own brothers and sisters, you sue them for rebellion, is there any evidence?" ”

"Of course there is evidence, if there is no evidence, wouldn't the official be falsely accused?" Yan Qinrong Zhenzhen said.

"Tell me, what evidence do you have?"

Yan Qinrong shook his head and said, "The evidence of the lower officials can only be said when they face the saint, and I won't say it now!" ”

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if someone sues for rebellion, the subordinates are not allowed to interrogate, but His Majesty must personally interrogate.

Zong Chuke didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so he prepared to bring Yan Qinrong to the top of the main hall to see Zhongzong after going to court tomorrow.

On the morning of the second day, Zong Chuke immediately brought Yan Qinrong to Zhongzong.

Yan Qinrong saw the emperor, and after kneeling, he presented a stack of paper.

Zhongzong saw it and trembled with anger.

When Zong Chuke saw it, his heart couldn't help but bloom, it seems that this Yan Qinrong really has evidence, otherwise His Majesty would not be angry like this.

Zhongzong said with a calm face: "Yan Qinrong, I ask you, what is the basis for you to sue the queen, Zong Chuke and others for rioting the court, taking bribes and taking power, and suspected of rebellion?" Do you know that if it is falsely accused, it will be against the nine tribes? ”

Zong Chuke couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, didn't he tell Princess Taiping and King Xiang, why did he pull it on his head again?

It turned out that Yan Qinrong had already calculated.

Yan Qinrong knew that Zong Chuke was covering the sky in the imperial court, and if he directly sued Empress Wei and Zong Chuke and others, he would definitely not even be able to see Zhongzong's face, so he said that he would sue King Xiang and Princess Taiping, and when he faced the saint, there was a Li Dai Taozhuang and told the truth.

Yan Qinrong's letter to Zhongzong was not a complaint against Princess Taiping and Li Dan, the king of Xiang, but the crimes of Empress Wei, Zong Chuke and others.

Yan Qin Rongyi said solemnly: "Of course the minister knows, if the minister is falsely accused, please ask Your Majesty to punish the nine clans of the minister!" ”

Zhongzong knew in his heart that a small pawn dared to sue the queen, princess and prime minister so boldly, if the facts were not accurate, wouldn't he be looking for death? Judging from the examples cited on the rolling paper, most of them have a basis, and they are not fabricated out of thin air, and they are not unheard of about these Zhongzong. Zhongzong wanted to take the opportunity of Yan Qinrong's complaint today, ask for clarification, and govern them.

So, Zhongzong said to Yan Qinrong: "Then you can talk about it!" ”

Yan Qinrong had already put life and death out of the way, and reported all kinds of ugly crimes of Wei, Zong Chuke and others.

When it came to Wei's fornication with the sect Chuke, the imperial doctor Ma Qinke, and the betrayal of officials and lords, cultivating the power of the Wei family, and having the ambition of plotting against the usurpation of the throne, Empress Wei, who listened to the government, was furious and roared loudly: "This thief is talking nonsense, kill him quickly!" ”

Zhongzong was surprisingly calm at the moment: "Let him continue, if it is not true, it will not be too late to kill." ”

Yan Qinrong continued to expose Zong Chuke's power and personal gain, and there were rebellious remarks, publicly saying what "When I am humble, I love the prime minister; and live in it, and think about the emperor's throne, and listen to the government for a day......"

After listening to Yan Qinrong's words, Zong Chuke couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly said to Zhongzong: "Your Majesty, this traitor Yan Qinrong, who has no father in his eyes, is extremely arrogant, and has committed the crime of bullying the king and disrespecting the king. ”

Following the footsteps of Zong Chuke, Empress Wei's henchmen in the court, as if they had been discussed in advance, stepped out of the train in unison and said to Zhongzong: "Your Majesty please make a judgment and kill this thief." ”

When Zhongzong saw that so many people were asking for Yan Qinrong to be killed, he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, he sighed and said: "Zhuqing is exempt, although this Yan Qinrong is extremely arrogant and deceitful, but he is a member of the imperial court, and he is also for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I think that he will be exempted from death for the time being, and he will be dismissed and investigated!" ”

"Hmph", as soon as Zhongzong's words fell, Empress Wei behind her snorted coldly, and then said: "Your Majesty said so, then what Yan Qinrong said is right?" Am I really a disaster to the country and the people? ”

"The queen is too worried, how can I mean this." As soon as Zhongzong heard Empress Wei's words, he hurriedly explained: "Yan Qinrong is an official of my Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely not be so blind, I think his admonition must have been bewitched and written in confusion for a while." This is to give him a chance to explain to his face that the words in this admonition are not his intention, are they? Yan Qinrong. ”

Zhongzong was bent on saving Yan Qinrong's life, but at this time, he actually gave Yan Qinrong a look, and asked him to quickly soften, follow his own words, and protect him himself.

Zhongzong's idea was obviously a bit too naΓ―ve, he underestimated Yan Qinrong's backbone, and also overestimated Empress Wei's measurement.

Even a three-year-old child could hear Zhongzong's prevarication, and of course Empress Wei would not believe it.

Since Yan Qinrong had made up his mind to die, how could he change his mind now that he had the opportunity to face the saint?

"The minister dared to participate in the impeachment of the current queen, and he committed Tianyan, so he naturally knew the crime. But to let the minister's words be deceived by others, the words above are not the minister's intentions, but it is difficult to do. Although the minister is only from the eighth grade, he must also do his own modest effort for the Jiangshan Society of the Tang Dynasty! can't be like the person who steals from a high position, but only knows that he tends to be inflammatory, slips his beard and slaps his horse, and is not loyal to the monarch and the country! ”

Yan Qinrong's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and he directly reprimanded the majestic Zong Chuke who was standing near the throne and was dumbfounded.

At this time, Empress Wei, who was forcibly suppressing her anger, could no longer care about Zhongzong on her side, and could no longer care about the eyes of hundreds of officials, so she stood up and pointed at Yan Qinrong and shouted: "Quickly destroy this traitor!" ”

Empress Wei's words made all the ministers stunned, after all, just now Zhongzong personally said that he would spare Yan Qinrong's life, but at this time, Empress Wei openly ordered to kill Yan Qinrong, and the emperor and queen sang against each other for the first time, and the ministers were stunned.
