Chapter 21: Intercession
"The emperor ......" As soon as he heard that Zhu Youxiao said that he wanted to make decisions for himself, Ke Yinyue cried even more. She is already enchanting, and the appearance of this pear blossom with rain is even more pitiful.
Zhu Youxiao looked sad and hurriedly said: "Milk, don't cry anymore, my heart hurts." What's the matter, you hurry up and say, can the affairs of the world still be difficult to pass me? ”
Ke Yinyue sobbed, didn't wipe her tears, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, today the concubine originally planned to go to Tantuo Temple to make incense, who would have thought that when I went to Fang Zhi, Yue Su of Shuntian Mansion actually pretended to pass on the holy decree, arrested the holy monk Fajue, and sealed the temple. Fa Jue is a high-ranking monk, who often ignites his concubines, but he offends Yue Su somewhere, and is reprimanded by the villain. Moreover, he is still a monk of the imperial title, even if he really did, it was not something he could catch if he said he could catch it in the Heavenly Mansion, he was simply blind to the king, and ignored the laws and disciplines of the imperial court......"
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was extremely puzzled in his heart, and muttered: "I asked Yue Su to go to Tan Tuo Temple, but I just asked him to consider the magic weapon given by the emperor for me, how did it change to arrest people?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ke Yinyue's spirit became fuller, and she cried: "Your Majesty, this Yue Su is relying on the emperor's favor and is unscrupulous, so he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, if he is allowed to be Shuntianfu for a few more days, won't he even take the emperor in his eyes." Please also ask the emperor to deal with it severely, and return the law to justice. ”
"I know about this, and I will definitely ask about it in the morning, and if he can't tell a reason, he will be held responsible. Guest, don't cry, the body is important, I guarantee to give you an explanation. Although Zhu Youxiao is simple, he is not a fool, not whoever says a few words casually will believe it to be true. Especially now, he is very fond of Yue Su and takes him as a confidant, how can he easily punish Yue Su for an insignificant monk.
Although Zhu Youxiao in history allowed Wei Zhongxian to brutalize the Donglin Party, in fact, there was a reason for the incident, and he turned a blind eye. The reason for this is that the Donglin Party people are noisy in their ears all day long, and they don't let him be a carpenter, can this kind of person who hinders the emperor's career be eradicated. As for Yue Su, not only does he not object to him being a carpenter, but he can also come up with many fresh designs, such a talent, as long as he does not rebel, he can say anything.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, but just said that the Ming Dynasty was looking for questions, Ke Yinyue couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, if she was above the temple and was said by Yue Su in public, how could she still have face. I had to continue to cry: "Your Majesty, Yue Su deceived people too much, he dared to arrest the imperial monk without authorization, and he dared to arrest the concubine without authorization after he said that he could not protect it, please don't be appeased, and now issue an order to investigate." ”
"Guest Milk ......" Zhu Youxiao said earnestly: "It's getting late now, it's not bad to wait another night, you go back to rest and take care of yourself." Don't worry, I will definitely question him, severely reprimand, and give you an explanation. ”
Just reprimand! Ke Yinyue's nose is almost crooked, I have been with you for so many years, and in the end it is not as good as a stinky carpenter.
Angry is angry, but Ke Yinyue also understands that she can't force the emperor too hard, otherwise it will be a taboo and it will not be good for herself. Just like when he tried his best to oppose the establishment of Zhang Yan as the queen, but in the end he still did not succeed, although the emperor said small things afterwards, it was only a good scene.
Now seeing that Yue Su can't be treated, he can only retreat to the next best thing and snatch the right to try Fajue. Ke Yinyue cried again: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that if there is anything wrong with the calculation, it should not be tried by the Shuntian Mansion, so it is a discord between feelings and reason." ”
"I know, after I asked, I will hand it over to Yousi depending on the situation." Carpenter Zhu was obviously a little impatient, and said lightly. Now that Zhang Yan is pregnant, Zhu Youxiao finally took time out of his busy schedule to talk about the husband and wife, and you will also find a time, crying at night is endless, isn't this hindering the health of the fetus.
Ke Yinyue naturally saw it, but at this juncture, she couldn't take care of it, and said at the moment: "Your Majesty...... I heard that the holy monk was tortured in Shuntian Mansion, and Yue Su scolded the monk for no reason, where is the emperor in his eyes. The humiliation of the holy monk is bound to alarm the Buddha, once a natural disaster comes, how can this be good......" said, and then wept bitterly. She didn't know that Fa Jue had not been beaten, but if she wanted to ask the emperor for an order, she had to say bitterly.
Zhu Youxiao was really entangled by her, so he said helplessly: "Then you say, what do you want me to do now?" ”
Ke Yinyue rolled her eyes and cried: "According to the opinion of the concubines, it is better to hand over Fajue to Jinyiwei for trial first, after all, it is the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, and it is not a loss of decency to try the emperor's monks." As for Yue Su......"
She wanted to ask the emperor to decree by the way, so that Jinyiwei Jinyiwei also took Yue Su by the way, but who expected that Carpenter Zhu interrupted her directly. "Yue Su's affairs, I have my own fate. Okay, I'll pass on the decree now, let Jinyiwei go to Shuntian Mansion to mention Fajue, you go back and rest. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine has retired." Anyway, it can be regarded as not a trip in vain, and he handed over Fajue to Jinyiwei, and whether he was guilty or not at that time was not a matter of his own words. Now that the commander of Jinyiwei has just been replaced by his own son Hou Guoxing, Fajue is equivalent to returning to his side when he arrives there.
Ke Yinyue happily retreated, and as soon as she went out, Zhang Yan whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yue Su is fair and strict, and the law is like a mountain, I don't think I will arrest Pusheng Zen Master for no reason." ”
"Yue Su's person can be trusted." Zhu Youxiao only said a word of evaluation, and then changed the conversation, and said: "Come, concubine, let me touch our little prince." ”
*******************************************************
Today's Shuntian Mansion can be described as very lively, successively took the Fajue, did the Pure Wisdom View, and let the six sons and sisters and Dao Gu go to the street to show their eyes, which immediately caused a sensation in Yanjing City. There are countless people who come to Shuntianfu to inquire, including many major yamen and powerful people in the court.
After the unitary, Yue Su had just finished dinner, and an errand officer entered the door to spread the word, and Wang Wenyan, a scholar in the cabinet, asked to see him.
Wang Wenyan was born as a prison official, clever and chivalrous, and strategic, because of the self-theft of the prison guards, he fled to Beijing, and first threw himself under the great eunuch Wang Anmen. Later, he befriended Donglin Party members Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong, and became a think tank and diplomatic figure of Donglin Party members.
Yue Su didn't know this person, let alone heard of his name, but when he first arrived in Beijing as an official, his colleagues came to visit him, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to invite him to the flower hall to serve tea.
The Zhongshu Sheren is a petty official from the seventh rank who is responsible for writing edicts, edicts, silver books, and iron coupons, but because he belongs to the cabinet, he has a wide range of friends. Many officials were willing to hand over their knots in order to inquire more about the movements of the imperial court. However, Yue Su didn't have this interest, he didn't even greet him, he just waited in the flower hall according to the system of the imperial court.
After Wang Wenyan entered, the two were polite, chatted about some unnutritious scenes, and then clicked into the topic first.
"I heard that Lord Yue is resolute, for the justice of the officials, for the people to make the decision, today said to take the Tantuo Temple of the silver monk Fajue, it is really admirable. But is Fa Jue a holy monk and a holy lady...... I think adults know about this. When the adults took him, it was really equivalent to holding a hot potato. Wang Wenyan said with a smile.
Yue Su glanced at the next head of the Chinese scholar who was polite on the outside, reckless on the inside, and had a merchant and philistine face, and couldn't help but ponder the meaning of his words. Could it be that he came to a Fajue to intercede?
Yue Su remained silent and said indifferently: "This mansion enforces the law for the imperial court, and has always handled cases publicly, no matter who it is, once he violates the royal law, don't say what kind of holy monk he is, even if it is a royal family and noble, this mansion is ruthless." What's more, it's this kind of evil destroyer who lives up to the emperor's grace! ”
"My lord is really upright, and the lower officials are not mistaken. However, have you ever thought that the status of Madame Fengsheng in His Majesty's heart, if she comes forward to intercede and reverses black and white, I am afraid that your lord will not only not be able to let the silver monk subdue the law, but will also suffer a catastrophe. Wang Wenyan said with an oath.
"Lord Wang said this, isn't it to persuade the government to release the villain, ignoring the royal law, and only asking for personal safety." Yue Su said coldly deliberately.
"Your Excellency misunderstood." Wang Wenyan smiled and said: "Your Excellency's move is really just, for the country and the people." If the officials in the world are like adults, the Ming Dynasty is very lucky, the world is very lucky, and the support of the lower officials is still too much, how can they be discouraged. ”
"What did Lord Wang mean by what he just said?" Yue Su was puzzled.
"The so-called snake hits seven inches, Fajue is just a small one, can't set off any wind and waves, the real moth in the Ming Dynasty is the guest Fengsheng, Wei Zhongxian and his party, such thieves mislead the country and harm the people, if you don't eradicate it, even if the adults kill Fajue today, there will be thousands of Fajue who will be supported by those thieves in the future, and the light of the adult's killing?" When Wang Wenyan said this, his face showed tenacity.
Yue Su didn't understand his words, so he nodded deliberately and said: "What Lord Wang said is also true, but this case only involves Fajue, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Fengsheng and Father-in-law Wei. ”
"The reason why Fajue dares to be so bold is because he has something to rely on, if it weren't for the fact that there was a guest who was sponsored by the saint and won the title of a holy monk, how could he dare to be so lawless." Wang Wenyan's voice gradually raised.
Of course, Yue Su knew about this, but he just wanted to see what kind of medicine Wang Wenyan wanted to sell in the gourd, and said: "This is not bad, Fajue is so rampant, it is completely in the name of Pusheng Zen Master." But even if he was promoted by Mrs. Fengsheng, at most he was overlooked for a moment and was deceived by the villain, which is nothing. I won't be punished for it. ”
"My lord's words are wrong, Tantuo Temple is the emperor's temple, all those who are in the fornication are guilty of deceiving the king, if the adults go up to the heavens, there is no shortage of outspoken people in the court, and they will be the head of the horse, and help the adults to wipe out the troubled country." Wang Wenyan's words couldn't be clearer, and the meaning was that Lord Yue, you directly went to the guest Yin Yue and Fa Jue to do those male thieves and female prostitutes in the Huangfeng Zen Temple, and our Donglin Party will definitely respond to it and help you eliminate the annihilation party in one fell swoop.
"I see, thank you Lord Wang for your teachings, how to handle it, this government has already understood." Yue Su nodded politely, gossiped a few more words, and raised the teacup.
"Then the lower official is waiting for Lord Yue's righteous words, it's not too early, the lower official will leave." Seeing Yue Su serving tea to the guests, Wang Wenyan took the initiative to leave. Yue Su politely sent out of the flower hall, and then asked Jin Chan to send Wang Wenyan out of the yamen.
Returning to the flower hall and sitting down, Yue Su thought about what Wang Wenyan had just said, and after a while, another messenger entered the door to spread the word, saying that Ying Zhen, the young official of Taichang Temple, and Wu Liangsi, the doctor of Zhongxian, asked to see him.
