Chapter 53: Dialing (2)
walked indecisively all the way, and soon the palanquin man reminded the second uncle that the palace gate had arrived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The second uncle said 'um', got off the sedan chair and walked forward, and after a series of inspections, he and the officials gathered and waited outside the Zichen Palace.
Along the way, the second uncle was thinking about the motives of the person who wrote the letter, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very shrewd, at this time he was thinking, once he really tore his face with Lu Mengzheng, who would be the ultimate beneficiary?
Thinking like this, the second uncle looked at the high-ranking officials who were usually friends and felt that everyone seemed to be possible.
What am I going to do? Should we take the initiative to poke this matter out in order to win the maximum benefit? Or is it private with the lid covered?
At this time, the second uncle no longer thinks about whether his wife steals people, as a politician, he understands the truth that three people become tigers, since Lu Congjian swore that his wife stole people, and this matter was known by others, even if this matter is fake, he has become true.
The second uncle has his own deeper considerations, will this secret high-ranking official directly poke this matter out at the court meeting?
He saw it very thoroughly, once this matter was really poked out, Lu Mengzheng or he would have one of them to be taken down, or he would be a shameless official, obviously this was what the senior official was willing or deliberately wanted to see, so even if he didn't pierce this layer of window paper himself, wouldn't others stab it?
After pondering for a while, the second uncle quickly made a decision.
Since this matter can no longer be covered, it is better to simply cut the mess quickly and poke him out by myself, then I will have a congenital advantage, and the courtiers will naturally believe me more if they don't know why for a while, and at that time, Lu Mengzheng will be difficult to distinguish even if he has a hundred mouths.
As the person in the letter said, the court is definitely the best place to break this matter, once this matter is known by the emperor, can Lu Mengzheng still use his power to suppress himself?
Just do it, and when the time for the court came, after the ministers had saluted, Emperor Zhao Guangyi had just asked what was going on, and the second uncle immediately walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music."
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Lu Mengzheng, the second brother, and said in his heart: "Doesn't he usually talk very little?" Why is there such a rush today? ”
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Lu Mengzheng without a trace, and found that Lu Mengzheng had a faint cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately reflected that there must be something wrong with this.
The emperor's heart is always suspicious, and Zhao Guangyi asked the second uncle to play it quickly.
The second uncle's name is Lu Mengxiu, and he became a left waiter in the Ministry of Engineering under Lu Mengzheng's grace, from the second grade, although he is usually not capable, but he has not made any mistakes, to put it bluntly, the sense of existence is very low, at this time, when he saw his rare first voice, all the officials looked at it curiously.
Looking at Lu Mengzheng again, he was already in a cold sweat at this time, for fear that the second brother would tell him about last night, but at this time it was above the court, and Lu Mengzheng was not able to stop it, so his face turned red in a hurry.
Lu Mengzheng's rare gaffe made everyone quite interested in this matter, and many people's eyes were on the Lu brothers, turning back and forth, with inexplicable expressions.
Lu Mengxiu paused, glanced at Lu Mengzheng coldly, and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Guangyi, crying: "Your Majesty, please be the master of the ministers!" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Guangyi was puzzled.
Lu Mengxiu pointed at Lu Mengzheng and shouted: "Weichen sued Lu Mengzheng, the ruling minister of the dynasty, for having an indecent relationship with Weichen's wife, and also gave birth to Lu Yijian, a little mongrel, asking Your Majesty to uphold justice." ”
"Ahh Zhao Guangyi didn't react for a while, and subconsciously exclaimed.
The other courtiers were also stunned, especially several of Lu Mengzheng's protégés, who opened their mouths even wider.
Lu Mengxiu blushed, but still said: "This incident is not a false accusation by the minister, but my nephew Lu Congjian was drunk last night, rushed into Weichen's room like crazy, and told me personally. ”
"Ahem."
Zhao Guangyi really didn't know what to say, if it was only Lu Mengxiu who said this, but even Lu Mengzheng's biological son Lu Congjian said this, it was too shocking.
Brother stealing brother and sister? And gave birth to a son?
Zhao Guangyi swept Lu Mengzheng with a strange look, and when he saw that his face was flushed, he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and immediately realized that Lu Mengzheng was not talking nonsense.
"This ......, this should be your family affair, ...... talking about these things in this Zichen Palace, cough cough, it doesn't seem very good?" Zhao Guangyi and the mud road.
When Lu Mengzheng heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled.
Sure enough, it was really guessed by the person who wrote the letter, and now that Lu Mengzheng and his protégé had not spoken, the emperor began to favor him.
No, I must not let the tragedy happen!
Raising tigers is not the opposite, but it is eaten back!
Having made up his mind, Lu Mengxiu clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, is this going to favor Lu Mengzheng?" ”
Zhao Guangyi rolled his eyes in his heart, but he had to say: "Aiqing, don't lose your words, I just don't want your brother to turn against me." ”
After thinking about it, Zhao Guangyi added: "Besides, this is indeed your private matter, and I can't take care of it." ”
Lu Mengxiu was also angry, and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that he is wrong, the minister and Lu Mengzheng are both important ministers of the court, and countless people are watching every word and deed, where do they come from for private affairs?" What's more, Lu Mengzheng is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Prime Minister Zhao, he is above 10,000 people under one person, if he is ashamed of his personal morality, how can he manage hundreds of officials? Is Your Majesty relieved that he will be in such a high position? ”
Zhao Guangyi was completely speechless, so he could only look at Lu Mengzheng and said, "Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Lu Mengzheng took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the cause of this incident is that my son of law is talking nonsense, in fact, Weichen has not done such a thing, Lu Mengxiu is slandering me!" ”
Lu Mengzheng is worthy of being an old man who has been in the sea for a long time, and his words are concise and to the point, and he makes things clear in three sentences, first explaining the cause, then clearing himself up, and finally defining the matter.
Zhao Guangyi listened and said, "If that's the case, then ......." ”
Hearing that Zhao Guangyi was still in the mud, Lu Mengxiu quit, interrupted Zhao Guangyi's words, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't listen to this old man's nonsense, then Lu Congjian is his own son, how can there be a son who slanders Lao Tzu?" Also, even if Weichen is a bastard, how can he cuckold himself on his head? ”
Zhao Guangyi was completely speechless, his eyes rolled around, but he couldn't find anyone to relieve himself, after all, which official would be willing to participate in this kind of housework?
But Lu Mengxiu made it clear that he didn't want to give up, and insisted that Lu Mengzheng brought a green hat to himself, this matter can't really be bullslung to Zichen Palace, right?
patted his head with his hand, and Zhao Guangyi felt that his head was instantly stuffy.
