Chapter 106: Lemon Drifting Sour
Cui Yongzheng's matter was sudden, and when many people received the news, Cui's mansion had been raided, the family had been imprisoned, and the city was already in an uproar.
As soon as the will of the three divisions came out, the ministers were in an uproar and immediately came to the Taiji Palace to ask for a face.
While waiting for a response, Liu Shouye whispered to Wang Kangrui: "Lao Wang, I heard Zhang'er say that this is your daughter's idea. "Thumbs up secretly, that means, high!
Wang Kangrui said: "Alas, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, Lao Liu, what is the reason, I haven't straightened it out after listening to it for a long time." ”
Liu Shouye said: "Cui Yongzheng's kid hooked up with the palace maid and caught the queen, I heard that during the trial, he pulled out something else, no, he raided the house." Speaking of this, he no longer lowered his voice, clasped his hands to his chest, and said loudly: "This surname Cui is enough, the first official in this dynasty to be raided, it is enough to blow it when he arrives in the underworld." ”
Some civil officials next to him listened to Liu Shouye's words and discerned the ridicule in his words, and one by one the bosses were not convinced. However, Liu Shouye is now in the limelight, he is the head of the steady generals, and his son Liu Jianzhang is in front of the emperor and is highly used, and his daughter is a virtuous concubine with a respected status, this family should not be underestimated, and it is easy to offend.
The strange thing is that this family is safe and innocent, and they can't even catch a little tail, and the red-eyed officials don't even have a chance to hand over the excerpts they participate in, so they can only stare dryly.
Liu Shouye squinted at a few officials who were good friends with Cui Yongzheng, and seeing that they had a lot of opinions on their gloating words, he kept a loud voice and said to Wang Kangrui: "Prime Minister, I heard that the lemon tree in the imperial garden has borne fruit, no wonder, oops, the taste is sour, it has drifted to the Taiji Palace, don't disturb Your Majesty's rest." Talk to the person in charge of the garden, or cut it down one day! ”
Wang Kangrui said helplessly: "You, this mouth just doesn't let people." ”
At this moment, He Xuanxuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, hurriedly came and squeezed in front of Wang Kangrui through the minister.
Wang Kangrui saw that he looked anxious and asked, "Lord He, what's wrong?" ”
He Xuanxuan said: "My lord, the matter is very important, let's talk about it aside." ”
Wang Kangrui nodded and looked at Liu Shouye.
Liu Shouye said loudly: "Go, I'll show you, who dares to eavesdrop, Lao Tzu killed him." The tiger's eyes widened and swept over the ministers.
Wang Kangrui said: "Thank you." He Xuanxuan walked two feet away.
I only heard He Xuanxuan say: "Prime Minister, Cui Yongzheng was taken away, you must also know, so I won't talk about it in detail." ”
Wang Kangrui nodded and hurriedly asked, "What happened again?" ”
He Xuanxuan looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "When I searched the house, I copied out something terrible." So saying, he took out a letter from his sleeve, pointed to the cover, and said, "Look, this is a Gentile script." ”
Wang Kangrui's heart sank, and he said: "Find out that he colluded with foreign countries? ”
He Xuanxuan said: "I'm not sure, we don't understand these zigzags, and we haven't read the meaning yet, but it's also a big sin to communicate with foreign ministers in private, no, Lord Zuo quickly asked the lower officials to come and ask the saint or the lord to give you an idea, find an official who can be trusted, and see what is written in this letter." "Cui Yongzheng served as a household squire, often in contact with foreign affairs, received officials, and was proficient in foreign languages.
Wang Kangrui said: "Well, Lord Zuo is right, I am afraid that there will be spies in this court, and I can't guard against it." Lord He, put away the things first, I will go up and knock on the door, I can't wait any longer, I have to enter the Taiji Palace today and see the face of the saint. ”
He Dadao: "The prime minister is hard, and the next official will accompany you." ”
Wang Kangrui said: "Thank you, Lord He, go." ”
Liu Shouye saw the two of them coming over, stepped forward, and before he could speak, he only heard Wang Kangrui say: "Old Liu, don't ask yet, I will hand you two things, first, seal the city gate, and a fly is not allowed to go out; Second, show me these officials here, and none of them are allowed to leave. ”
Liu Shouye saw that his expression was grim, and he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't say a word and hurriedly arranged.
Wang Kangrui took He Xuanxuan and walked up the steps quickly, asking the waiter at the door to pass it on, and entered the Taiji Palace in full view of everyone.
The ministers were already surrounded by the Yulin Legion, and the swords flashed in front of them, and they were all shocked.
Someone who was bold asked, "General Liu, what does this mean?" ”
Liu Shouye smiled and said, "What do you mean? He spread his hands and said: "What you see, that's what it means, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my colleagues, the big guys are not stupid, this is the moment, talk less." "Secretly paid attention to the officials who were good friends with Cui Yong. Although Liu Shouye doesn't know what happened to him, the root cause of everything must be related to Cui Yongzheng, and most of the people related to Cui Yongzheng are inseparable.
In the Taiji Palace, Wang Kangrui and He Xuanxuan saw the weak Xiong Yan, and saw that he was bedridden and difficult to get up, and they were all worried.
When Xiong Yan was healthy and in good spirits, he was still unable to manage the state government, and at this time, he was out of danger of his life. As soon as he heard the cause and effect, his heart was numb, his head was confused, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Yunzhao beside him in a panic and ask for help.
