Chapter 208: Reversal
This time, Zhou Yanzhao stopped talking, his fingers tapped on the table, and suddenly he glanced at Wei Qiao subconsciously, only to see Wei Qiao's expression indifferent, standing there motionless without sadness or joy.
Zhou Yanzhao suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his voice was as faint as ever: "Biography!" ”
The guard quickly retreated, but the eyes of the crowd did not divert their attention. Jinling Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department, these three yamen are in charge of the Jinling case, and if it is the three law divisions, there is still a lack of a Yushitai.
Sure enough, soon, one of the guards quickly jumped over the door frame, strode in, knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the head of the Imperial Historical Observatory asks to see you." ”
"Biography." This time, Zhou Yanzhao did not hesitate and said in a deep voice.
This time, everyone's eyes looked at the gate outside the hall, and they were all very curious, at this time, what made the people of the four yamen can't wait to come to see them during the court meeting.
Yan Yi frowned slightly, and the four of them interrupted their offensive against Wei Qiao. But he didn't care, he sneered in his heart, now that the evidence is conclusive, the gods can't save Wei Qiao today!
But Chang Zhi frowned secretly, even if the Criminal Department was an urgent matter, it would not break into the Xuande Palace, could it be that something was wrong?
And Niu Ichiro also frowned, what happened to this Yushitai, he couldn't wait for him to go back?
Liu Zhengxu and Shao Yi also frowned, it stands to reason that these four yamen came together, at most it should be a big case, but even if it is a big case, it will not reach the point where someone rebels, right?
Others are also very curious, it is very rare for this court to be broken into, not to mention that there are four yamen at once, and everyone's eyes are staring at the gate outside the hall, with doubts in their eyes.
――Could it be that something big is really happening?
"Chen Dali Temple Shaoqing Ma Chuncheng"
"Minister Jinling Mansion Shao Yin Tan Zheng"
"Sun Hanting, a member of the Ministry of Punishment"
"Xue Liyong, the director of the Imperial Historical Observatory"
"I've seen the emperor, long live my emperor!"
The four of them stood at the bottom of the hall together, bowing down and clasping their fists.
Zhou Yanzhao glanced at the four of them, and said lightly: "The four Aiqing came to see me together, what's the matter?" ”
The four of them glanced at each other, and finally Xue Liyong, the director of the Yushitai, stood up, and in the burning eyes of everyone, he bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Emperor Qiqi, the Yushitai has just received an account book, which should be from the Chen family, and the ministers have been accounted for, and the accounts have been reconciled with the 'Chuang Bei', and also with the Zheng family, Liwangfu, Wei family, Chu family, etc., who have cleaned up the Chen family's property. The records in the account books are basically consistent with the Chen family's property, which shows that the Chen family did not participate in smuggling even when the Chen family was still alive. ”
Although Xue Liyong is nominally the head of the Yushitai, he actually plays the role of the chief bookkeeper, and he is only under Niu Yilang, Wei Qiao, and Jiang Ci in the Yushitai.
There is actually a subtext in this, that is: the Chen family did not participate in smuggling, so the Wei family, who had just taken over the Chen family, naturally could not help the Xiongnu build a big city in such a short period of time.
The other three glanced at each other, and also bowed to Zhou Yanzhao and hugged his fists: "That's what the ministers have to say." ”
Chang Zhi looked at several people, especially Sun Hanting, a member of the criminal department, and opened his mouth for a while, the corners of his face twitched, and he was completely stunned. If it was only the Wei family and the Chu family who were involved in cleaning up the Chen family's property, then he could still say that the Wei and Chu families were doing something inside, but the Liwang Mansion and the Zheng family were also inside, how could he justify it?
And Cui Chen was also stunned, Dali Temple, Jinling Mansion, Criminal Department, and Yushitai all came, obviously this matter could not be fake. But, however, the lore of Wei Qiao that he carefully prepared was over, easily and simply like a joke, after everyone's ups and downs, everyone laughed?
And Yan Yi also twitched the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows were hideous, her face was full of anger, and her fists were clenched, but her lips were squirming and she didn't know what to say. How many of them calculated for a long time and laid the groundwork for half an hour, and then they failed? Wei Qiao is still standing there, just like the beginning, with a calm face and an indifferent smile.
And Niu Ichiro's face also couldn't help twitching, but the smile on his face couldn't help it anymore, and he grinned.
Ye Fatzi even roared in his heart: "The old guard is really ruthless enough, his grandmother's, these guys are estimated to be unable to sleep in the future......
Xue Liyong was uncomfortable by everyone's gaze, and it was the first time he came to Xuande Palace, his body couldn't help but tremble a little, and cold sweat began to break out on his head, and his eyes secretly searched for Niu Yilang, Wei Qiao and others.
And Fu Li, Gao Qi, and Chang Song glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhou Yanzhao above, and nodded lightly, as if they had reached an agreement.
Zhou Yanzhao above also showed a rare smile, and said to Xue Liyong who spoke: "Oh, what Xue Aiqing said is true? In fact, this sentence is nonsense, who dares to say anything in Xuande Palace?
"Yes," Xue Liyong heard the emperor's warm and warm voice, and immediately became full of strength, bowed down and said loudly: "The minister has carefully checked, and there is no special discrepancy between the account books and the Chen family's property. And the minister heard that the smuggling time was extremely long, the scale was huge, and the profit should be extremely rich, which did not match what the minister investigated. Moreover, in the account books of the Chen family, there has never been a record of armor and iron tools. Therefore, Chen believes that the Chen family did not participate in smuggling, and it should be someone else's backdoor egg. ”
Although Xue Liyong is only the head of the Yushitai, he is not stupid, and he knows a lot of things, so he naturally understands that the Wei family is not smuggling. Coupled with the relationship with Uiqiao Niuichiro, there is naturally an obvious bias in his words.
Whether the Chen family was involved in smuggling Zhou Yanzhao naturally understood very well, nodded lightly at Xue Liyong, and said, "Well, I know." After speaking, immediately, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he glanced down like a sharp knife, looking directly at Chang Zhi Cui Chen and the others.
Originally, Cui Chen just stretched out his foot to stand up and wanted to argue, but as soon as Zhou Yanzhao's words came out, especially the indifferent gaze like a sharp arrow, he trembled, gritted his teeth and carefully swallowed back the words that reached his throat, and the raised heel also trembled and put it back. Hiding in the ranks, his head shrunk, and his body cold.
He was sweating profusely, and his heart was even colder, he understood that he had lost today!
The emperor said, 'I know,' and sentenced him to death, which can no longer be argued.
He also knew that if he let Wei Qiao go this time, he would never have a chance to deal with Wei Qiao again. Once Rong Weiqiao has gained a firm foothold in the court, his troubles will be endless in the future.
"The first assistant, the second assistant, the secretary of the ministry, come with me." Zhou Yanzhao glanced around Cui Chen and the others, withdrew his gaze indifferently, and then got up and said lightly.
"Yes." Fu Li Gaoqi Fangcang agreed, and followed the emperor from the side door to the side hall of the Xuande Palace.
As soon as Emperor Fu Li left, everyone in the court couldn't help but exhale.
Niu Yilang patted Wei Qiao's shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Liyuan has done a good job, we will have a banquet later, we will not get drunk and return!" ”
Wei Qiao nodded, and said with an indifferent smile: "By the way, please also invite some people, there will be things to do tomorrow." ”
When Niu Yilang heard this, his heart immediately cheered up, and said, "Okay, then let's sum it up later." That's right, Han Zhi is also with him. ”
Hanzhi, Xue Liyong's word.
Xue Liyong was in his thirties, with a square face, and when he heard this, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord." ”
Niu Ichiro smiled and nodded, his face full of hesitation. Today, it is not only Wei Qiao's great victory to stand firm in the court, but also his Niu Yilang's great victory, and the prestige of the imperial history platform, since then there is already a place for their imperial history platform in the court!
But Chang Zhi's face was pale at this time, staring at Sun Hanting's eyes and saying coldly, "Why did you come to Xuande Palace, are you a pig, won't you stop them!?" Can't you even wait for the court meeting to end? Yes! ”
Although he knew that Chang Zhi was confused and used strong words, Sun Hanting was still under the eaves, and he still lowered his eyebrows and said with a crying voice: "Adult, the little one also thought about it this way, but you don't know that Princess Qingning entered the palace early in the morning, saying that she was going to see the queen's mother." ”
Chang Zhi's face suddenly changed when he heard this, his stomach was full of anger, his eyes were wide with anger, his face was full of anger, his fingers trembled at Sun Hanting, his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word.
"Forget it, Brother Chang." And Cui Chen, who was next to him, couldn't help sighing, and said with a dejected expression: "It's because we underestimated the enemy, just because he was a young student, but I didn't expect his methods to be so good." Hey, he said that he couldn't fight the tiger today, and he said that he would be injured by the tiger. ”
Chang Zhi shook his hand and turned sideways, tilted his head slightly, the corners of his face twitched, his brows were tightly twisted, his chest rose and fell sharply, his face was gloomy and gritted his teeth, staring at Wei Qiao and the others who were whispering and laughing not far away, his eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were gritted.
And Ling Tang and Yan Yi also walked over, looking at Wei Qiao and the others with cold eyes. They all knew in their hearts that if they missed a blow, the Yushitai had a sharp weapon in their hands, and they were afraid that they would have to be people with their tails between their legs in the future.
And Tang Yan glanced at Wei Qiao, his eyes were slightly cold, he turned his head and his eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly with his brows.
Fu Mingzheng glanced at Tang Yan, then looked at Wei Qiao, pulled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of smiles.
And the others, looking at Wei Qiao's eyes changed color one after another, especially the minister who stood up to impeach and accuse Wei Qiao with indignation just now, at this time, his intuition cheeks were hot, and his gaze at Wei Qiao was extremely complicated.
At this time, almost all of them were paying attention to each other, and their eyes were swirling around Wei Qiao and a few people, while Cui Chen and a few people were already automatically filtered.
Soon, however, as the curtain on the side door was unraveled, everyone immediately retreated to their original positions, regardless of their mood.
Fu Li walked to his place, Gao Qi stood beside him, Fang Cang also returned to his position, and Emperor Zhou Yanzhao also walked to the dragon chair and sat down, then raised his head, swept the ministers with majestic eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The quota of the Wenzheng 19th year big examination hall examination: the first place, Chu Han, is the champion." 2nd Place...... Wei Qiao is for the list of eyes, and the third place is Yang Li, for Tanhua, these three people are the top three in this year's big entrance examination! ”
The emperor fell, and the court was silent.
Cui Chen's nails seeped into his palms fiercely, his teeth gritted loudly, and his face twitched fiercely.
And Chang Zhi also frowned, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his eyes were red.
And Yan Yi and the others naturally had the same blue faces, and their expressions were extremely ugly. Just now, a few people were extremely excited to punch and kick Wei Qiao, as if they were going to step on him forever and never turn over, but they didn't expect people to laugh and make an example in a blink of an eye, this is not only a naked slap in the face, it is simply ravaged countless times with their feet and spitting at the mouth, in public!
These 'all' are extraordinary!
But Wei Qiao was puzzled, didn't he say that it was a good flower?
However, at this time, no one will jump out of place to ask this question.
―――――――― went down to the court, Wei Qiao and everyone 'celebrated', and did not disperse until the afternoon.
Wei Qiao Palace's test quota is a quota, Wei Qiao is a concubine, and he is a lord, and now he has added the list of eyes, Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng, the first talent in Jinling...... It can be said that the halo above Wei Qiao's head is really shiny.
After Wei Qiao came back, he fell asleep on the bed, and only woke up slowly when the sun set at dusk, patted his dazed head, and Wei Qiao sat up.
"Young Master, you're awake." Wan'er outside hurriedly walked in when she heard the movement, carrying a basin of water and a towel hanging from her arm.
Wei Qiao looked up, shook his head, and struggled to sit up. Today, everyone was extremely excited, and they all poured Wei Qiao to death, even if he drank well, he couldn't hold so many people taking turns to take turns.
Wei Qiao wiped his face and said, "What about Qingning?" ”
Wan'er stood on the side, and said with a smile on her little face, "The princess and the lady went shopping, and they haven't come back yet." ”
Shopping...... Does Qingning go shopping?
Wei Qiao looked at Wan'er in surprise, and then laughed thoughtfully. But this smile is a little bad in Wan'er's opinion.
After eating something, Wei Qiao stood in the courtyard, shook his arms, took a breath, raised his head and smiled: "This time I can finally live in peace." ”
"Young master, young master......" As a result, before Wei Qiao finished laughing, the little girl Xiangling ran over in a hurry, shouting as she ran.
Wei Qiao turned his head and glared at her with an angry expression.
The little girl stuck out her little tongue, pulled his arm and smiled fearlessly: "Young master, I heard that the prince of Yunya wants to buy Huiwenlou." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned, and the three-story building in a luxurious area appeared in front of him, and he said with a slightly strange expression: "How could he think of buying that building?" ”
"I don't know" The little girl shook her little head, and said with a smile like a flower: "However, I told him that the young master said that this building is not simple, so he won't buy it." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl's delicate little ears, and leaned closer and said, "That's good, you've learned to be a fox and a fake tiger, huh?" ”
The little girl pulled her small mouth, her big eyes narrowed into a line, stood on tiptoe and held Wei Qiao's hand with her two small hands, and cried out in pain.
Wei Qiao pondered for a while, let go, knocked a chestnut on his hand casually, and walked towards the gate, "Bring the money, young master, I'm going out today [***]." ”
The little girl followed behind him with her little head, looking at his back, lowering her head and rolling her big eyes and grinding her silver teeth, with a look of dissatisfaction and grievance, and muttering with her small mouth.
