Chapter 537: Zhao Yi visits prison
readx;
When everyone was arguing, Zeng Gongliang spoke: "Long live, Weichen thinks that if there is no Chen Shimei to provide funds, it is impossible for us to have "Wujing General Essentials" for people to steal!" The guards of the treasury were also arranged by Lord Chen, and he would never betray the Great Song Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
These Renzong all knew that without Chen Shimei, it would be impossible to have the current thousands of volumes of "Wujing General Essentials", and he never thought of killing Chen Yuan, but he had to make a gesture, otherwise no one would dare to release people indiscriminately in the future.
How exactly should he be punished? Renzong's gaze looked at Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng knew at this time that Renzong was waiting for him to find a step for this matter for both sides to come down. This is the case for the battle in the court, when the fight in the ring is fierce, the ring is demolished. said at the moment: "Long live, the minister thought that Chen Shimei should be punished, but he didn't have to doubt his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and Long Live the Taishi, and the so-called disregard for the country and the society is a bit exaggerated." Although the evidence of this matter is ironclad, there are still some details that are not clear, and it is necessary to find out clearly. ”
Renzong nodded: "Okay, Bao Aiqing, the matter will be handled for you, for the time being, Chen Shimei will be removed from his official position, sent to Dali Temple, and I will be the personal trial." ”
Only then did Chen Yuan raise his head: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”
If life is a casino, then there are gambling money and bankers in the casino. In this casino in the Great Song Dynasty, Renzong is the one who sits in the bank, no matter who wins, he has to draw a share in the end, and there is very little chance of losing. And Chen Yuan and Pang Ji are both gambling money, and there are two kinds of gambling money, one can gamble money, called gamblers, and the other can not gamble money, called gambling sticks.
The gambler is to bet money on the table, and then desperately follow, to see the other party's points. And gamblers are not, gamblers will judge the situation, their own cards are not good, they will never bet, less loss when winning.
Chen Yuan is a gambler, and he knows that he has lost this step, so he admits defeat very simply. Renzong will not do anything to himself just because he let go of Yelu Lingling, what he has to worry about now is Lao Pang, Lao Pang must have a back hand, I don't know if the little capital he left behind can be carried.
Dali Temple must have gone to decide, I don't know why, Chen Yuan didn't want to deal with Bao Zheng more, but it always fell into his hands, this is the third time. Isn't it that he and Bao Zheng have an inextricable grudge in their previous life?
The wisest thing Chen Yuan did was not to deceive Renzong. Renzong is a person who protects his shortcomings, just like when Pang Ji's theft of the jade horse was revealed, Renzong was angry not that Pang Ji took the jade horse, but that Lao Pang used the word "steal". But even so, he still let Pang Ji go, Chen Yuan's crime was very big, but compared with Lao Pang's time, it seemed to be a little worse.
When Chen Yuan was escorted away, Renzong was not in the mood to go to any court, and hurriedly listened to the books of several ministers, all of which were inconsequential matters, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and Xuan Baozheng waited in the study.
Entering the study, Renzong's sighs were one after another.
Bao Zheng didn't say anything, just stood still. Until Renzong spoke: "Bao Aiqing, what should be done about Chen Shimei?" ”
Bao Zheng saw that Renzong didn't want to kill Chen Shimei at all, let alone punish him.
For Renzong, Chen Shimei is really important to him now, he wants to change the law, and Chen Shimei helps him; He wanted to strengthen the army, and Chen Shimei also helped him; When he didn't want to be bullied by Li Yuanhao's descendant, Chen Shimei immediately led troops to destroy Li Yuanhao, and when he was distressed by the problem of food, Chen Shimei immediately bought him food from Nanyang.
Really, after so many years in power, Renzong has never met a minister who wants to use it so easily like Chen Yuan.
In a big way, Chen Yuan can help him do major national affairs, as trustworthy as Fan Zhongyan, such as how to plan to fight Liao Xingzong; From a small aspect, Chen Yuan can help him deal with some private life issues, such as being as intimate as Pang Ji, such as preparing to take Su Xiaoyou into the palace. Even if Chen Yuan was just a toy, being able to make him so comfortable was enough to make Renzong reluctant to kick Chen Yuan away with such a kick.
What's more, he knew about Chen Yuan and Yelu Ling from the beginning.
But now, it seems that it is impossible to deal with it, and it is not good to deal with it lightly, after all, it is a big crime to release the princess of Liao Kingdom privately. But it's heavy, Renzong doesn't want to.
This is also where Bao Zheng is embarrassed, listening to Renzong ask him, Bao Zheng immediately said: "Long live, Chen Shimei's matter, let's wait and talk?" ”
Renzong was obviously not satisfied with Bao Zheng's answer, and Bao Zheng immediately said: "This matter is big, minister, and I haven't thought it through. ”
The implication of Bao Zheng's words is obvious, it is impossible to let Chen Yuan go in this situation now. Renzong nodded helplessly: "Aiqing should hurry up, you can think about it slowly, I am here, it is estimated that it will not be quiet soon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch at the door shouting: "Long live, Her Royal Highness the princess asks to see long live." ”
Renzong smiled bitterly: "It's here!" ”
Zhao Yi pushed open the door with a big belly, and was about to bow down: "Erchen has seen his father." ”
Renzong hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Get up, what kind of courtesy do you do like this!" ”
Zhao Yi's eyes were red: "Father, where is my Chen Shimei?" I heard you locked him up? Is it true?"
Looking at Zhao Yi's excited look, Renzong really didn't know what to say, Bao Zheng pulled over a stool: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please sit down and talk." ”
Zhao Yi didn't sit down, holding Renzong's hand and refusing to let go: "Father, what crime did Chen Shimei commit?" Is there anything you don't see him doing for you, and for the sake of this kid in my belly, okay? You won't see my father when this child is born, will you? ”
Renzong sighed: "I don't want to lock him up either, don't worry, after a few days, when the rumors calm down, I'll let him out." ”
Zhao Yi's mood calmed down a bit, and he suddenly asked, "Father, does he have anything to do with that princess of Liao?" ”
This matter can't be hidden, after the dispersal of the dynasty today, there will definitely be discussions in the streets and alleys, Renzong patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder: "Their affairs started a few years ago, I will tell you slowly, don't be excited." ”
Renzong slowly recounted the story between Chen Yuan and Yelu Lingling that he knew in a language that Zhao Yi could accept, and always looked at Zhao Yi's eyes in the middle, for fear that she would be excited.
But Zhao Yi really likes Chen Yuan, if she doesn't really like it, she won't let Qin Xianglian enter the door at all, and she doesn't care if Chen Shimei's head is dropped. She is just a little rude, not the kind of woman who can knock over the entire table for a bottle of vinegar, she already knew about Qin Xianglian's matter last time, she was a princess, if she made a big deal by herself, the unlucky Chen Shimei.
Now that she heard that Chen Yuan was arrested by Renzong because of the princess of Liao, what she thought about most was Chen Yuan's safety. As for Yelu Ling, Zhao Yi can't manage so much now, even if he wants to settle accounts, he has to get Chen Yuan out first and go home to calculate.
After Renzong finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Yi's expression was quite calm, so he was relieved, and said with a sigh: "Yi'er, Chen Yuan can let that Yelu Ling go, I was really angry at first, but then I thought about it, this can be regarded as his affection, if he can catch that Yelu Ling today, when his father ascends to the sky tomorrow, he will dare to bully you." Also, if the two of them break off like this, it may not be a good thing for you. ”
This is to exonerate the son-in-law who made a mistake from the perspective of an old father-in-law, Renzong is really a very good elder.
Zhao Yi sobbed softly, controlling his emotions. When she came, everyone told her that as long as Zhao Yi didn't give up on Chen Yuan, Renzong wouldn't do anything to Chen Yuan, but if anything bad happened because this was Zhao Yi or the child in her belly, then Chen Yuan was really dead.
After listening to Renzong's words, Zhao Yi raised his hazy teary eyes and asked, "Father, can I go to see Shimei?" ”
Where is Renzong willing to let her go to the prison to feel the sadness of visiting the prison? Shaking his head and saying, "No need, I'll let him go home in a few days, you can rest assured that my father is measured." ”
Zhao Yi didn't agree, she had to see it in person, if Renzong usually reprimanded her very harshly for not understanding the rules, but now seeing that she now has a big belly, she can't say anything, so she said to Bao Zheng in desperation: "Bao Aiqing, you go and prepare, I will go to see Chen Shimei with the princess at night." ”
Bao Zheng responded, Renzong pulled him out of the study, and whispered at the door: "Aiqing, go and remove all the whips, torture instruments, and clamps in the prison, and the cells are all arranged comfortably, don't make the princess uncomfortable, and light incense inside, the best kind, don't go in and smell moldy!" ”
Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Renzong said again: "Also, the clothes of those prisoners have also been changed, replaced with fine silk, and the prison meal will be given before the princess goes tonight, and the prison meal will be made from the restaurant, at least two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, understand?" ”
Bao Zheng was speechless: "The minister understands." ”
Renzong thought of something again: "And..."
Bao Zheng hurriedly said: "Long live! No more! ”
Hejian Mansion, Pang Xi was really annoyed, he didn't understand which tendon he was wrong just now, he actually agreed to fight with Chai Yang alone, after they fought for more than 50 rounds, Chai Yang was obviously at a disadvantage, as long as he gave himself a little more time, he could clean up Chai Yang.
To be honest, Pang Xi didn't want to do anything to Yelu Ling, let alone hurt the child in her arms. If they continue to move forward like this, then they can be regarded as leaving a little affection for Chen Yuan.
But when he was in control, Qing Yuan came, and Chen Yuan's personal guards also came. Tie Anli and the others rolled over from the battlefield, and more than 200 Jurchens lived more than 20 of them, which was really brave and abnormal.
Those knights under Pang Xi are not opponents at all, and even if there are two good hands, they can't stand the elusive soft knife in Qingyuan's waist.
Chai Yang pestered Pang Xi to death, so that he could only watch the people he brought being slashed and killed one by one, Pang Xi was really angry.
After killing the others, Qingyuan raised his short knife and greeted him: "Brother Pang, I'm sorry, my brother is trying to eat." ”
