Chapter 483, Innocence
In fact, Wu Se's proposal was not only for the emperor, but also for his own considerations, who in these families in the capital did not know that he had a good relationship with Li Bin, the prince of Zhenguo, and the two grew up together.
Therefore, Wu Se's words also wanted to take himself out and prove that he was not with Li Bin, and Li Bin's remarks had nothing to do with him!
Li Bin was not happy when he heard this, at this time he regretted very much that he did not follow his father's advice, do not easily stand in line, especially in the matter of Lichu, no one dares to guarantee that his judgment must be accurate, a slight mistake, accompanied by a bloody storm.
He has realized this today.
No, it's good that Wu Se didn't open his mouth, as soon as he opened his mouth, the court became lively again, and there were mostly opponents, everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Wu family was going to marry the third prince Zhu Wu, and the mother of the third prince was the emperor's heart, and she had favored the harem for 20 years, and the plan would definitely not be small, especially the eldest son Zhu Heng was in this situation, and he would definitely not be able to inherit the throne.
Therefore, Bao Buqi is what this imperial concubine did behind her back, otherwise, why did Wu Se keep silent at the beginning, but when several cabinet members agreed to use the Imperial City Division to investigate the matter thoroughly, he opened his mouth to stop it, to put it bluntly, he was afraid of finding out the head of the imperial concubine, right?
Of course, you can't say these words publicly, but some of the ready-made reasons are, isn't it suspicious of Zeng Rong, don't you want to kick Zeng Rong out of the palace? Isn't it that you military generals want to meddle in the affairs of the harem?
In this case, as you wish, you will not have to find the fault of the civil officials day by day, saying that the civil officials do not cooperate with your military generals, and that the civil officials are idle day by day and do not do their jobs!
Not to mention that Wu Se didn't expect this effect after he spoke, even Zhu Xu himself didn't expect it, it seems that there is a lot of grudge between these civil officials and military generals, and the civil officials who are usually scattered and work separately have actually unified their voices today.
Zhu Xu squinted his eyes? This is not a good sign, when the words of the cabinet members are better than him, you must know that he, the main master, has not yet spoken!
"Uh-huh." Zhu Xu cleared his throat? Glancing at the audience? Unhurriedly, he asked, "I have a question?" What kind of person do you think I am? ”
"Back to the emperor, in the eyes of the ministers? Is the emperor a wise man? He is a pioneering and enterprising, wise and erudite, and a clear distinction between right and wrong. Xu Fushan was the first to stand up.
Soon, others also came forward one by one? It's nothing more than praising him for being a wise man? Knowledgeable about ancient and modern, modest and studious, intelligent and diligent, sympathetic to the people, etc.
"If so? Why do you still doubt my decision? Think I can't even handle my own family affairs? Do you still need your ministers to intervene? I'll just ask you something? What if I meddle in your backyard? How do you feel about each one? Zhu Xu's gaze swept over the faces of the people in the audience one by one, and he wanted to see what kind of face these people who had made the most noise had and looked at him.
"That's exactly what you say, back to the emperor, that's what the minister means." Wu Se smirked.
Li Bin opened his mouth, what did he want to say? After glancing at Wu Se? He closed his mouth again.
The lesson is painful.
Really? He just thought of this? Someone immediately stood up and pointed out that it was he, Li Bin, who brought out this topic, and Master Sun had obviously refuted him? But he still has to insist on his own opinion, which leads everyone astray.
"Emperor Qiqi, if you want to say something wrong, it's the minister's fault, the minister shouldn't talk to Miss Zeng, which will make things bigger." Xu Fushan stood up and admitted his mistake.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." Sun Shi stepped forward.
After getting Zhu Xu's approval, Sun Shifang said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister has a proposal, although this matter is a matter of the harem, the foreign minister should not interfere, but the minister thinks that since the matter has come out, and it is also a big trouble, the old minister is brave, and after the emperor finds out the truth, he also asks the emperor to make it public to the world, give the world an explanation, and give the Zeng girl an innocence." ”
"Why should I be..." Zhu Xu paused in the middle of his words, he originally meant to ask him why he wanted to give an explanation to the world, he was the emperor!
But halfway through the words, he realized that something was wrong, this matter was spread all over the palace and outside the palace, and it was also discussed at today's court meeting, obviously he couldn't suppress it, if he didn't give the world an explanation, who knew what these people would make up to slander him and slander the royal reputation.
"Well, in three days, I will give you an explanation." After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he got up and left, Chang Dezi hurriedly announced "retreat", and trotted all the way out.
When Zhu Xu passed by Zeng Rong, he saw Zeng Rong sitting at the desk, the pen in his hand only stopped after seeing him, a pair of misty eyes looked at him timidly, and he didn't know what his little head was thinking, and he forgot to get up and salute when he saw him coming.
"Why don't you pack your things yet?" Zhu Xu couldn't help but remind.
Since the last time Zeng Rong came out late and was made difficult by Wang Bai and others, Zhu Xu would usually wait for her to leave together, especially today, if she was let go again, she would meet someone and cause criticism.
"Huh? Oh. Zeng Rong realized that he was still sitting, and hurriedly got up and hurriedly packed up his things, and Ah Chun on the side also came back to his senses to help.
After returning to Qianning Palace, Zhu Xu's breath still didn't come out, and after thinking for a while, he ordered someone to pass on Xu Fushan and Sun Shi.
Zeng Rong didn't know this, and after entering the Qianning Palace, she entered the side hall, because she knew that the emperor would meet the minister next, and she had nothing to do.
Soon, she didn't think so.
After breakfast, the emperor left her and Ah Chun behind, and sent someone to invite the queen, the imperial concubine and the people from the Imperial Medical Department. In addition, there are two old doctors who were temporarily invited from home.
In front of everyone, Zhu Xu first asked the two old ladies to check the dried fruits, and the two old ladies came to the conclusion that the dried fruits were not poisonous, and in order to confirm their remarks, the two old ladies ate several dried fruits in public.
"Envoy Liu, envoy Wang, what about the two of you?" Zhu Xu called the names of these two people.
The two did not insist that these dried fruits were poisonous, but emphasized that on the day of the incident, they did not have time to taste the dried fruits, but only heard Imperial Doctor Zhao mention it, saying that the dried fruit had been cooked with other things, thinking that the conclusion he had reached would not be wrong, so they ignored the matter and explained to Zeng Rong why they couldn't smell the safflower.
Zeng Rong was not angry, and was about to refute them, but Zhu Xu spoke.
Zhu Xu first reprimanded the two envoys, and then asked Wang Tong and Tong Yao if there was anything else to ask Zeng Rong.
Tong Yao shook his head, and Wang Tong said that he was ineffective and wronged Zeng Rong, so he could be regarded as returning Zeng Rong's innocence.
