Chapter Twenty-Three: The Storm

"Knowing that he is a fool, why should you be angry?" Mu Siyan handed the tea to Chen Jingsui, a hint of a smile passed over the corner of her lips, and she said softly: "Lord Wang, drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger." ”

Chen Jingsui didn't take the teacup, leaned on a few and sat down, and sighed: "Yan'er, don't you know, today in the court, Chen Zhihe suddenly made trouble and told the emperor's uncle. ”

"Brother Huang?" Mu Siyan stuffed the teacup into his hand and asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang, what does this have to do with Lord Jia?" ”

"The court argued, the emperor uncle and the eldest brother each held their own words, Jia Yunian, a bastard, jumped out and fell into the well at that time."

"The prince has never interacted with courtiers......"

"Yan'er, don't you know that there was a vacancy in the imperial history that day, and it was this king who strongly recommended Jia Yu Nian." Chen Jing took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If someone thinks that Jia Yunian's actions today are at the behest of this king, wouldn't it?" He remembered Chen Qiyuan's strange eyes when he looked at him, and he only felt palpitations.

She saw Chen Jingsui frowning, caressed his back, and asked softly, "Lord Wang, can you tell him everything from beginning to end?" ”

Chen Jingsui turned his head to look at Mu Siyan, leaned forward slowly, the court debate was still in his ears, and the picture appeared in his mind:

In the court, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides, Chen Qiyuan walked up to the royal platform surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids, and everyone knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "The ministers knock on Your Majesty, and the joy is not young." ”

"Xing!" Chunfu shook the dust, cleared his throat, and shouted: "If you have something to do, play early, and leave the class if you have nothing." ”

Before Chen Jingsui could stand firmly, he saw Chen Zhihe walking to the center of the hall, and wondered in his heart, when he looked up at the imperial platform, his eyes passed by inadvertently, and he saw that King Yan was complacent.

"Chen Zhihe has a book."

Chunfu respectfully handed the fold to Chen Qiyuan, and in the main hall, there was silence, and everyone saw that the emperor's expression was becoming more and more solemn, and they all guessed in their hearts.

Chen Qiyuan suddenly got up and angrily threw the fold at Chen Zhihe, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, only to hear him say sharply: "Chen Zhihe, you are so bold, you dare to impeach the national prince?" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Chen Qichong, and saw Chen Zhihe kneeling on the ground, and said righteously: "The minister is planning for the world, why don't you dare?" He kowtowed three times, straightened his waist, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes: the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, the imperial brother is the crown prince, but he does not think about the emperor's grace, does not sympathize with the feelings, colludes with Yue Feng and others, the general of the Jiangbei camp, to deduct the soldiers' salaries, and after the incident in the east window, he kills people and kills people, the imperial brother, he is so careless of human life, corrupt the law, and act in ......vain."

Chen Qi's reegnant muscles burst out, and before he could say the word 'national prince', he interrupted angrily: "Chen Zhihe, you are spewing blood. ”

"Uncle Huang, does Lord Chen know if he is squirting blood at a glance, what are you anxious about?" Chen Jingpei faced the imperial platform and arched his hand: "Father, the emperor may not be without reason, and his son thought that he should immediately send someone to investigate this matter." ”

"Your Majesty, as the crown prince, if you rashly send someone to investigate, I am afraid that it will damage your reputation, please think twice."

"Lord Feng's words are wrong." Jia Yunian jumped out and retorted: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhihe publicly participated in the emperor's brother, and his words were conclusive, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were suspicious, and it was reasonable to send someone to investigate the truth. He faced Feng Sheng and asked with a smile: "Lord Feng, the Qing is self-purifying, don't you want to return the emperor's innocence?" ”

"This? Your Majesty, Your Majesty. ”

"That's enough." Chen Qiyuan threw the teacup heavily on the table, glanced at everyone, suppressed his anger, and walked away.

"Lord, did Your Majesty later issue an order on how to deal with this matter?"

Chen Jing came back to his senses, shook his head and got up, and sighed: "The current situation is complicated, and the imperial uncle and eldest brother are ......" He looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and asked in a muffled voice: "Yan'er, how do you say this king should deal with himself?" ”

"Stay out of the way, don't help each other."

"This king is in the court, if you want to stay out of the matter, how easy is it to talk about it?"

Mu Siyan understood what he meant, the emperor's younger brother has a special identity, if he sends someone to investigate, the errand will inevitably fall on the heads of several princes, King Yan and his discord, naturally excluded, the rest is King An, King Liu, King Shang and King Ding, Chen Jingsui as the second son, the first to bear the brunt, thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry, thought for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, I heard you cough a few times this morning, but Da'an?" ”

Mu Siyan saw that his face was full of joy, as if he had suddenly realized, and hurried away.
