Chapter 128: Licking the Calf
Concubine Yue, who had a big belly next to her, also said: "The concubine entered the palace late, and it is really a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see Concubine Jing's sister's heavenly beauty." ”
Concubine Jing is the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart, and there is a lot of reason why he can tolerate Jing Qicheng's nonsense for so many years is because of Concubine Jing.
Meng combed her eyebrows and knelt on the ground dressed plainly, coupled with the poem, she knew that the effect she wanted had been achieved.
Seeing that the emperor looked stunned because he remembered Concubine Jing, Concubine Xian also missed Concubine Jing a little, she said: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, now Cheng'er is locked up in prison, presumably Concubine Jing's sister will feel distressed if she knows about it." ”
Concubine Xian Niangniang really had a deep understanding of her own thoughts, she was just a start, and she immediately knew how to say it to arouse the emperor's love for licking calves.
In the end, it is the emperor's own son, even if he thinks about the benefits of Concubine Jing, he will be more or less open to Jing Qicheng.
Concubine Yue walked to the emperor's side with a big belly, saying that she was now three months pregnant, and she panicked when she heard about the fighting, killing, and she always couldn't sleep well at night.
"Next time you can't sleep, go and ask the palace maid next to you to call me over to accompany you, do you know?"
Seeing Concubine Yue standing up, the emperor hurriedly asked her to sit down, and asked Xue Wei to bring a soft cushion.
Concubine Yue said with a shyness that since the emperor said so, she would have to disturb the emperor from time to time in the future.
What he wanted to say had already been said through the mouths of Concubine Yue and Concubine Xian, and it would seem a bit deliberate if he continued to stay.
So Meng combed his eyebrows and bowed, saying that he would go back to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings, so he would not bother the mothers.
"You are so young, and you are a princess, you are too plain to dress, come here, go and give the few horses that Persia paid tribute to Princess Chen a few days ago."
Meng combed his eyebrows and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, with a respectful expression.
She knew that this trip had not been in vain.
After getting into the carriage, Meng Combrow knocked on the partition of the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Mo Han: "You go to the first floor of the world to find the shopkeeper Zhu, tell him that I have arranged it, and let him act according to the previous plan." ”
Mo Han disappeared like a gust of wind, and then it was up to them to see how they cooperated.
The day after Meng Combrow entered the palace, the emperor issued an order to transfer Jing Qicheng and Meng Guogong to Honglu Temple for interrogation.
When he heard the news, Meng Combrow was looking at the material that had just been sent from the palace, although the fabric of Persia entering the palace was not as good as the feel of Qingguo silk, but their embroidery method was different from that of Qingguo, full of exotic customs, and it should look good when used as a skirt.
"Miss, I don't understand, you have spent so much effort, but you have transferred the prince from the criminal department to Honglu Temple, but the grievances on the prince have not been washed away?"
Chun Xing thought that Meng Combrow would be able to rescue Jing Qicheng by finding Chen's father with great difficulty, but she didn't expect that the result would be just a different place of detention, so what is the point?
Meng combed his eyebrows and smiled lightly, although the Criminal Department and Honglu Temple are both places to interrogate prisoners, but if you investigate it carefully, the knowledge of the door is deep.
Everyone knows what kind of place the criminal department is, only those who have committed serious crimes will be sent to the prison of the criminal department, and the punishment of the criminal department is also terrifying, and there are not a few people who are tortured into tricks.
Because it is not a place for people to judge, but a place for people to be convicted.
Honglu Temple is different, Lord Zhen of Honglu Temple, his mother is the county lord of Qinghe, that is, the emperor's distant cousin, and Jing Qicheng is somewhat related.
The emperor asked him to try this matter, obviously to tell everyone that even if Jing Qicheng really broke the law, he would let him go.
The courtiers are all thinking about the saint's thoughts, Lord Zhen will definitely give the royal face, even if he can't directly clear Jing Qicheng's grievances, he will be much more comfortable in Honglu Temple than in the Criminal Department.
That's their chance.
"Wow, miss, I really didn't expect this to be so complicated."
"It's complicated to say it's complicated, it's simple to say it's simple, it's just up to you how you deal with it."
Sometimes a few words can turn things around, but she just guessed the emperor's thoughts, and then added fuel to the fire behind her back.
Of course, this is also thanks to Concubine Xian and Concubine Yue.
Jing Qicheng was handed over to Honglu Temple, and the most unhappy person was naturally the prince's side.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is the prince's person, as long as the prince wants to, he can play with Jing Qicheng like an ant in the palm of his hand, but Honglu Temple, that is not the place where the East Palace can stretch out his hand.
"Prince, in my opinion, it is better for us to probe the tone of that Lord Zhen, if he can be used by us, it will be a chance."
Li Ya followed up with another plan.
But the prince shook his head and said no.
Although Honglu Siqing's official position is not high, he has real power, and he can directly meet the emperor.
His mother is the county lord of Qinghe, and he has to greet him politely when he sees him.
The most terrible thing is that this Zhen Siqing has a particularly stubborn temper, except for the emperor, he doesn't give face to anyone, and the prince has also thought about befriending him in the past, but his attitude is very clear.
He is loyal to only the emperor, and no one else is within his consideration.
The crown prince also knew the emperor's intention to do this, and it seemed that he still loved this son the most.
However, the prince finally planned this game, and he will definitely not stop easily.
He leaned down and explained a few things in Li Ya's ear, asking him to do it quickly.
When he went to court the next day, several officials wrote to impeach Jing Qicheng, saying that as a prince, he actually knew the law and broke the law, and participated in the case of fraud in the imperial examination, which was really a crime of one degree, and many students in the capital knew about it, and the discussion was boiling.
To put it simply, Jing Qicheng committed public anger and must be dealt with strictly.
The emperor is obviously not very happy, he has already sent people to Honglu Temple, don't these ministers understand his thoughts?
Besides, now that the ins and outs of the matter have not been figured out, no one knows whether Jing Qicheng is really guilty or not, so these ministers keep saying that they will dispose of their relatives and children, what are their ideas!
Although the emperor was not happy, it could be said that the officials were pressing step by step, and they were all talking about what Chen Ziqi's blood splashed in the Jinluan Palace was already a sure fact, if the emperor did not deal with Jing Qicheng, it would be really difficult to convince the public.
The emperor had a headache when he heard it, but he didn't know how to shut up this group of annoying ministers.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has something to say."
Everyone's eyes looked at Shen Moran, who spoke.
He knelt on the ground and said, "The minister met a person a few days ago, who can prove the innocence of Prince Chen!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the prince's face immediately became gloomy!
