Chapter 562: Please
The timing was just right.
The day after the imperial historian played the impeachment of He Wenmao, Zheng Ying sent Zhao Zhiliang's confession to the imperial study. The emperor sneered when he saw the confession, and then directly picked up the tea bowl next to him and smashed it on the ground.
"Excellent! This is the 'virtuous minister' of my Great Zhou. The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Chengqi, and ordered in a tough tone: "Yu Chengqi, go and copy He Wenmao's house for me now, and the case can be tried slowly, but I want to pick up his official uniform today." ”
"Did you send a message to the north?" The emperor turned around and stared at Zheng Ying again.
"Delivered." Zheng Ying bowed slightly: "Erchen has asked An Guogong to urgently send someone to the bank of the Yunlan River to find clues, and he should be able to find clues." ”
"Hmm!" Only then did the emperor nod with satisfaction: "Two hundred carts of ordnance, even if they all sink into the river, it will be easy to find them." How is the injury of the child of the Mu family? Can you move? If you can, let him come back and testify. ”
"After all, when you are young, the external injuries will heal quickly, and the internal injuries will take time to recuperate, but after a few days, you should be able to heal." Zheng Ying replied: "But the legs are ...... If I am too seriously injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover as before, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future. ”
"Bastard!" The emperor was so angry that his face was like gold paper, and he slapped it heavily on the table: "My young general, they were abolished like this!" I want them to pay! He Wenmao and Zhao Zhiliang were escorted awaiting trial, and all their families were charged to the army and went to Shuozhou in the north to repair the city defense. Caused one death and one injury to the young generals of the Mu clan, how could I easily let them go, I want them to guard the three towns of the border for generations, and build city defenses for the defenders of the Great Zhou. In the future, if there is a war in the north, the He clan and the Zhao clan will stop in front of the Mu generals, and I will also let them taste the price of building a city with flesh and blood! ”
The emperor didn't even go through the court's discussion, and he didn't wait for He Wenmao to be convicted, so he directly ordered Yu Chengqi to personally take people to raid the house. This is actually not in line with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and no one dared to open their mouths to shout grievances to He Wenmao, and even Li Xiang did not dare to say much.
Zheng Jin won't even speak to why Wenmao. In fact, when Zheng Jin knew that He Wenmao had done so many good things behind his back, he was so angry that he almost turned his back on him. Lord Yi's always gentle and peaceful mask finally broke.
Zheng Jin will not take action to protect He Wenmao. In fact, because of He Wenmao's matter, Zheng Jin is now in a very embarrassing dilemma. He Wenmao is his person, Zheng Jin thinks that the emperor knows it in his heart, but he is a prince and carries the emperor behind his back to envelop the courtiers, and it is impossible to talk about such a thing in the open.
So at the moment, Zheng Jin is really not a person inside and out, if he kneels in front of the imperial study, because of unfavorable control and negligence, then how can he explain his relationship with He Wenmao? But if he pretends to be stupid and has nothing to do with him, I am afraid that the emperor will not easily forgive him for his mistakes.
After embarrassment for a few days, Zheng Jin finally didn't dare to fool the emperor as a fool, he knelt in front of Empress Wei, and acted a decent play of "Guilty of Guilt", and admitted his mistake lightly. And his drama partner, Empress Wei, should naturally know what to do, and Empress Wei cried that night and went to the imperial study to cry out for her "poor deceived son".
Although Empress Wei is not smart, she is still very good at shirking responsibility carefully, and pushes everything on He Wenmao, in the mouth of Empress Wei, Zheng Jin is described as an innocent and deceived stupid Bai Tian, and He Wenmao is a villain with ill intentions and deliberately shows his personal ability in front of Zheng Jin.
"Your Majesty," Empress Wei knelt on the ground, crying pitifully: "Jin'er, this kid is a solid eye, you mentioned it before, let him learn government affairs from the courtiers, he has always kept your words in mind." A few years ago, you personally praised He Wenmao's outstanding ability, and after a few years in the household department, everything was in order, and he was a good family, so Jin'er would look up to him. Jin'er only thought that she could learn how to deal with government affairs with He Wenmao and share your worries in the future, but she didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, He Wenmao turned out to be a shameless person who disobeyed the yang and the yin. Your Majesty, our son, he has suffered a lot! ”
The emperor listened calmly to Empress Wei's crying for a while, and then helped her up with his own hands, persuaded her twice, promised not to deal with Zheng Jin, and then sent Chen Quanli to personally send Empress Wei back to Yuyang Palace.
In fact, even Empress Wei herself didn't understand whether her previous performance had fooled the emperor. But she has always been a generous and coaxing personality, and when the emperor gave her a few nice words, she was very relieved, feeling that the emperor would never worry about his own son.
After all, the emperor has so many children, but his favorites have always been Princess Ningfu and Zheng Jin, these two children, the eldest daughter and eldest son of him and Empress Wei, and even the young seventh prince and the fourth princess can't go beyond them. Empress Wei has always been very confident in this.
But in fact, will the emperor have a problem with Zheng Jin? No one knows that......
Except for Empress Wei, who dares to speculate casually? Therefore, even Zheng Jin herself is not as sure as Queen Wei.
However, the matter has come to this point, Zheng Jin can only make up for it to this extent, and as for the rest, it is not something he can interfere with. In the case of the robbery of military funds, he lost again against Zheng Ying. This time, Zheng Jin didn't have any grievances, he knew that he was losing in his own hands.
He Wenmao is unknown to him, and he can only recognize it.
Zheng Jin, who received elite education since he was a child, naturally has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, but his mother, Empress Wei, is not as willing to accept defeat as he is. In particular, Empress Wei suddenly found that unconsciously, Zheng Ying, the king of letters, seemed to be more and more dazzling in the court, and she had done several errands in a row, and now she had the full support of the Xie family.
Zheng Ying regained her disadvantage little by little, and even surpassed her biological son Zheng Jin and firmly occupied the advantage in the court, which made Empress Wei can't help but panic.
Empress Wei was unwilling to watch the situation become more and more inclined to Zheng Ying, so two days after she went to intercede for Zheng Jin, Empress Wei announced Mrs. Li Xiang into the palace. She planned to book the marriage of Zheng Jin and Li Yunzheng earlier.
The queen mother personally mentioned the marriage between King Yi and Li Yunzheng, and the Li family naturally had nothing to reluctant, Mrs. Li nodded and agreed on the spot, and Li Yunzheng herself was even more pleasantly surprised. She likes Zheng Jin too much, as long as she can marry Zheng Jin, she is willing to pay any price.
Li Yunzheng is a little younger than Xie Shurou, and she will turn eighteen years old this year, and there are not many girls in the Great Zhou Dynasty who have not been engaged at this age. Li Yunzheng was born in a tall family and is beautiful, in fact, there have always been many people who come to the door to propose marriage, but whether it is herself or Li Xiang and his wife, in fact, she has never given up the hope of marrying her into the Yiwang Mansion.
This time, it really got my wish.
