Chapter 202: Court Discussion (1)
Yan Yi frowned slightly, glanced at Cui Chen with some doubts, and did not say anything more. This circle is faintly headed by Cui Chen, and he is also the most cunning old man, Yan Yi, as the person who joined later, naturally takes Cui Chen as the head.
Chang Zhi glanced at Yan Yi with a smile, and said lightly: "It's still Brother Cui's unique vision." ”
Yan Yi's expression was ugly, and she snorted lightly or heavily.
Cui Chen smiled incomprehensibly and said, "I think Master Chang already has a countermeasure. ”
Chang Zhi nodded and smiled, and said, "Yes, this official has already handed over the documents to the cabinet just now, asking Jinling Mansion to mobilize troops to forcibly arrest him, and I think there is already movement here." ”
"Brother Chang is really tall." Cui Chen's eyes lit up, and he said: "Now those who used to be the shopkeeper of the Chen family and the people who broke into the north have all been given the news and disappeared without a trace, and the Wei family has no evidence to clear the charge, even if he uses the Wei family's ignorance as an excuse and the martial apprentice Fu family is covered, but it is inevitable to remove his fame and sweep away the court!" ”
Yan Yi smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, the Wei family's death crime can be avoided this time, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" ”
Cui Chen and Chang Zhi also nodded and sneered. Wei Qiao and King Jin have a new grudge against the old grudge, and this time there is going to be a break.
And just when Cui Chen and the others were conspiring, the cabinet document also went directly to Jinling Mansion, asking Jinling Mansion to arrest Li Xiluan, and if necessary, he could be strong. The meaning of dynamic strength is very simple, that is, if there is resistance, you can kill on the spot!
Liu Zhengxu looked at this document, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching fiercely, and his face seemed to be smiling.
He has been in Jinling for many years, and he knows very well what Wu Qingning is and what his surname is, if he really takes people to surround the Horse Mansion, he really can't imagine the consequences.
Beat everyone up and throw them back to Jinling Mansion? Putting them in the firewood house of the Horse House? Or is it sent directly to the barracks? You must know that Wu Qingning is the baby daughter of a martial artist, and she is also a general of Dawn, and many people in the Yulin Army listen to her very much. Liu Zhengxu was even worried that some people would directly suppress the people of Jinling Mansion without Wu Qingning's greeting.
Liu Zhengxu was annoyed for a while, the position of this Jinling Mansion had not yet been secured, and it was an order from the cabinet, so it was unavoidable. He sighed in his heart, I don't know if he can get out of this time?
"My lord, no matter what, the appearance is to be made." Shao Yin on the side looked at Liu Zhengxu's frowning brows, stood on the side and said in a low voice.
Liu Zhengxu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, you immediately take people to the Horse Mansion, don't make any moves, well, don't surround it, just take people to the gate of the Horse Mansion, bring fewer people, and then let people go to see Princess Qingning, by the way, the number of courtesies should not be less, be more respectful, you know?" ”
"Yes." Shao Yin's expression is also very strange, this is to get people, not to ask people to do things?
Soon, the people of Jinling Mansion came to the gate of the Horse Mansion, but they were quite cautious, and they just took the people and horses to the gate of the Horse Mansion, and they were neatly arranged, and they did not dare to move rashly.
"Princess, Jinling Mansion led someone to block our door." In the martial arts arena, a gatekeeper hurriedly ran towards Wu Qingning.
Immediately, everyone who was training in the martial arts arena fell silent, and their big eyes opened one by one, as if they had heard something surprising and amazing, and they immediately geared up one after another, looking excited about preparing to do a big job.
Wu Qingning was dressed in white, standing quietly like a lotus flower out of the water.
As if she hadn't heard, she said after a long time, "Close the door." ”
"Closed?" The man was surprised.
A little girl who replaced Xiu'er walked over and snorted unhappily, "Go quickly, don't you hear the general's words?" "These little girls, calling Wu Qingning has always been a general.
The man glanced at Wu Qingning cautiously, and seeing that she didn't speak, he hurriedly agreed, and quickly turned around and left.
The man quickly ran to the gate and whispered to the few people guarding the door, and the guards outside the door hurriedly retreated, regardless of the Jinling Mansion officials at the door, in their eyes, the gate of the Horse Mansion squeaked and closed.
When Shao Yin saw him outside the door, the corners of his mouth twitched strangely, and he hurriedly walked back.
"My lord, the gate of the Pony Mansion is closed." Shao Yin whispered beside Liu Zhengxu's sedan chair.
Liu Zhengxu glanced up at the gate of the Horse Mansion, frowned slightly, groaned in a low voice, and said, "Well, that's it, after half a pillar of incense, withdraw everyone." ”
"Withdraw?" Shao Yin looked surprised. Isn't it too child's play to mobilize the crowd so much, and then withdraw after standing at the gate of the Horse Mansion for half a pillar of incense?
"Hmm" Liu Zhengxu nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "This time it's a fight between the gods, let's not get involved." ”
When Shao Yin heard this, he nodded hurriedly. He felt constrained, and it was better to stay out of it.
And the news that Jinling Mansion blocked the Horse Mansion immediately spread throughout Jinling as quickly as the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the Horse Mansion. If Li Xiluan was brought out of the Horse Mansion, it would not only be a major news, but in the eyes of many people, this would undoubtedly be a blow to Wei Qiao.
Jinling Mansion has the Shang Fang Sword of the Cabinet, no one can say no, if there is another Wei Qiao Horse for the sister-in-law against Jinling Mansion, I believe that many people must be happy to see it.
Naturally, this news also spread to the Yushitai, and after Wei Qiao heard it, he just smiled faintly and continued to deal with the things in his hand, without the slightest intention of getting up to put out the fire.
Jinling Mansion has cabinet documents, and under normal circumstances, it can indeed run rampant, and no one can stop it, because once Jinling Mansion can't deal with it, the Yulin Army will come forward at any time to suppress it! Naturally, there are not many things that can't be handled in Jinling Jinling Mansion.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and the Horse Mansion is an exception, and this exception is Wu Qingning.
At the beginning, the imperial army went south to quell the rebellion, Wu Qingning followed the army, and several clan disciples were arrogant and accompanied at will, but Wu Qingning gave an order and killed seven! Among them, there are six nephews of the current emperor, and one is the same generation as the emperor, without exception, all of them have become the souls of the sword with their eyes wide open in unbelief and have paid tribute to military law.
And the result was even more jaw-dropping, and the emperor immediately issued a commendation and gave Wu Qingning a sword that the queen had used. In addition, he ordered all the positions of the other three clans to be cut off, and he is still recuperating at home!
Liu Zhengxu is a very good and wise person to protect himself, he naturally will not be stupid to hit the Horse Mansion, now sitting in the sedan chair and pretending to sleep, the soldiers in front of him stand at the gate of the Horse Mansion, as if looking at the scenery, staring at the three big characters of the 'Horse Mansion' and studying non-stop.
Under everyone's gaze, it didn't take long for all the people of Jinling Mansion to withdraw back, and at the same time, Yin Shangshu of Jinling Mansion wrote to the cabinet, saying that Li Xiluan's whereabouts were unknown, and Jinling Mansion would continue to intensify the search.
This is an obvious shirk of responsibility, but there is no way at all, after all, everyone knows that Li Xiluan entered the Horse Mansion before, but now that he is not there, no one dares to guarantee it.
However, there are still many excerpts that flew into the cabinet, and then entered the imperial study of the palace, impeached the Jinling Mansion for indifferent Wang Fa, and has not closed down the Wei family's shop so far. However, the Jinling Mansion immediately refuted, saying that the Wei family's case had not yet been decided, and the Criminal Department had not produced conclusive evidence, so it was temporarily inconvenient for them to act.
The Criminal Department immediately submitted a letter, with fierce rhetoric, saying that the evidence was conclusive and demanding that the defense family be dealt with strictly.
The cabinet was immediately transferred to Dali Temple and acted as the Dali Temple investigation.
But Dali Temple wrote: Because the whereabouts of the people involved are unknown, they need to be traced.
The cabinet transferred this to the Yushitai and asked the Yushitai to supervise the investigation of the Dali Temple.
Yushitai naturally shirked again.
In just one morning, this kind of ball almost all the yamen involved have been kicked again, as long as there is no stake, no one wants to get involved, the criminal department, Jinling Mansion, Yushitai, Dali Temple several yamen kicked around, pushed around, busy and happy.
And Wei Qiao sat firmly on the Yushi Terrace, doing what to do, as if nothing had happened.
At noon, Ye Fatzi and others came to invite Wei Qiao to dinner, Wei Qiao refused with a smile, several people knew that Wei Qiao was under a lot of pressure, and he was not forced, Wei Qiao dealt with it casually in the palace and continued to be busy.
In the afternoon, when the court was about to deliberate, the sky outside the door was suddenly dense with dark clouds, and the cold wind was blowing on the face, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Wei Qiao stood at the door, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and frowned unconsciously.
"Let's go." After a long time, Wei Qiao went out with an umbrella.
In the same way, in other places, many people are looking up at the sky, or calmly, or nervously, or playfully, or sneering, and then they all start to walk towards the palace thoughtfully.
The ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides stood and bowed and shouted long live, and the emperor above looked down condescendingly with an indifferent face.
"There is a morning play, and there is nothing to retreat."
With the shrill shouts of the chamberlain's custom, today's court meeting officially began.
Soon, the history of Tanzhou was finally settled, and he was still a member of the Jin Dynasty. As for the ranking of the palace examination, the emperor's answer is still 'still need to be considered'. The other things below continued slowly, seemingly peaceful, and disputes were inevitable, and the battle in the court was always a serious matter, and it was long overdue, but it was also a sword and a sword.
Finally, after a series of important things were over, Chang Zhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was the first to stand up, bowed down with a piece in his hand and said, "Start the emperor, the minister has this music." ”
When everyone heard this, they all knew that today's show was coming, and their eyes swept over Wei Qiao, Chang Zhi Cui Chen and others, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, contemptuous eyes, indifferent expressions, and worries, and the expressions in the court were varied for a while.
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, glanced at Chang Zhi lightly, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Say." ”
After Chang Zhi took the fold in his hand, he said: "Your Majesty, it has been verified that the Wei family's shop colluded with the people who broke into the north to sell many contraband such as iron green, salt, and armor to the Xiongnu. The minister has ordered the arrest of Wei Kai, the treasurer of the Wei family, and Li Xiluan, the chief treasurer of the Wei family, is nowhere to be found. ”
The emperor's face sank when he heard this, and after watching Chang Zhi's recital, his face was immediately extremely gloomy, and he looked at Wei Qiao with sharp eyes, and said, "Wei Qiao, do you have anything to say?!" ”
Obviously, Chang Zhi took out this kind of performance in the court, which means that the evidence is conclusive. Otherwise, framing the court members in front of the court, this is not much different from bullying the king, even if the surname is guaranteed, there will be no place in the world from now on!
Wei Qiao stood up calmly, clenched his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers have never been involved in the family's business, I don't know the details!" ”
As soon as Wei Qiao's voice fell, the court was in an uproar.
What does Wei Qiao mean by this? Did he admit that the Wei family was involved in smuggling?
Niu Yilang's eyes flashed with melancholy, and he looked at Wei Qiao with a frown, his eyes full of puzzlement. He doesn't know much about the Wei family, but he knows the root cause of this case almost well, he knows very well that the Wei family is not involved in smuggling at all, but when Wei Qiao says this, there is a suspicion that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, doesn't this make everyone in the court suspect that the Wei family is involved in smuggling?
Ye Fatzi Liu Cong and the others also looked at Wei Qiao anxiously, if they didn't know a little about him, they couldn't help but suspect that Wei Qiao was abandoning the pawn to protect the car, and giving up the Wei family to protect himself.
People who knew Wei Qiao couldn't help but think so, and the others thought even more freely, Cui Chen and the others glanced at each other, and sneers appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Cui Chen glanced at Wei Qiao coldly, and said indifferently, "Hmph, even if you let the Wei family carry all the sins, I will drive you out of the court!" ’
