Chapter 352: The Court's Tongue Debates
King Lian came out of the class: "Your Majesty, since the evidence is conclusive, it is better to believe that it is not credible, and you can send an urgent document to the northwest to recruit the envoy to capture Minghao on the spot. β
The words "family members of the Ming family" were quite effective, and the emperor agreed to King Lian's request with little hesitation. Yonglin, who was standing in front of His Majesty, frowned, and leaned in front of the imperial father to play secretly: "Father, Ming Hao has been appreciated by Gu Changbai (Mokun), and he is still the martial master invited by Princess Chaoyun for Gu Kui, look at this-"
"Huh?" the Emperor was stunned, "and there is such a thing." β
The Supreme father and son bit their ears above, and the imperial history below thought of this relationship, and they came out to impeach Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), and the emperor had to issue an edict: "Order Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) to lock up Ming Hao and enter Beijing, and defend himself." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was shocked: "What about the Kangfu family who sent the letter?"
Xia Lian replied: "Put down the letter and leave." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) commanded: "Hurry! Prepare the car - prepare the horse!"
Walking to the second gate, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) had already realized that he was trapped in Yangmou: "Have you seen the person who came to deliver the letter?"
Xia Lian shook her head: "I've never seen it." β
"It's the forbidden army's business to arrest the Qin criminals, and I'm afraid I'm going to leave the palace at this time. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said after a little consideration, "Wait for me to pick up my things, and go to the Ming Mansion first." β
The forbidden army came and went like the wind, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was one step late, the Ming family had already jumped chickens and dogs, Ming Hao's pregnant wife and children were locked, and the house was in chaos.
Changshi was not there, and Chunlan shouted: "Princess Chaoyun has arrived." β
Shi Bao, the commander of the forbidden army, came out to greet him, and after getting up, he arched his hand and declared: "The minister is on an errand, please forgive Your Highness." β
"Uncle Shi Guo, the holy purpose is this, how dare Lu Guo be frivolous?" Shi Bao is the brother of the queen of the dynasty and the uncle of the princes, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) naturally can't protect the Ming family, "But please stay for a while, don't be surprised that the Ming house is lonely." β
"This-" Shi Bao was deeply embarrassed, "Your Highness doesn't know, there is only Minghao's wife in the mansion, and her parents and grandparents are all in Xishan, so the minister needs to go out of Beijing as soon as possible to arrest the guilty chief." β
Minghao's eldest son Mingjia is only a few months older than Gu Mao, and now he was frightened and cried by the wolf-like forbidden army, and when he saw Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shouting "aunt", the forbidden army in front of him was impatient, and slapped him with a hand.
After repeated unsuccessful presentations, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was already angry, and it was even more difficult to restrain herself when she saw this, so she took out something from her sleeve: "Emperor Taizong's gold medal imperial decree is here, who dares to disobey!"
Shi Bao was shocked: "The minister doesn't dare, long live! Long live! Long live!"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) stepped forward to help Mingjia, who had fallen, and comforted him softly: "There is an aunt, don't be afraid, my aunt will take you to play with Brother Kui and Brother Mao." β
Minghao's wife, Liu, cried: "Princess, why is this the case? Xianggong will not be sorry for Gu Dashuai, let alone the court." β
"I know, don't worry, with me!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) soothed, "You are pregnant, it is important to rest for a good life, I will enter the palace." β
The queen's family has a very good impression of Qin Siyue (Long Xi), and Shi Bao kindly reminded: "Your Highness, Ming Hao is a descendant of the former Ming Dynasty-"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) asked rhetorically: "So what? Which law of the Daqing Dynasty stipulates that the descendants of Emperor Chongzhen should be punished with death?"
"Thisβ" Shi Bao snapped.
"Uncle Shi Guo is on an errand, I don't embarrass you. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) proposed, "I will enter the palace with you, and if the emperor is surprised, he will have Lu Guo to bear it." β
"It'sβyes!" Shi Bao was helpless.
After settling the mother and son of the Ming family and coming out, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) suddenly remembered that Minghao's father and ancestors were farming in the western suburbs, and took advantage of Shi Bao's lack of attention to whisper a few words to Dongmei.
In the same way, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) also asked the emperor's father and son in front of the kings: "Which law stipulates that the descendants of the previous dynasty are sinners?"
King Zhongxiao said without thinking: "No matter which law he is, the wildfire will not be burned out, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate!"
"What about killing Ming Hao's whole family? Zhu Ming's two hundred years of Sheji, Zhu Yuanzhang's heirs are less than tens of thousands of people, well, this is not much, simply kill all the royal descendants of Liu Yang and Li Muli, wouldn't the emperor worry?"
The Loyal King muttered, "Isn't this a pole lift?"
"Your Majesty, if Minghao is a criminal who is rebellious, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) is the person who recommended him, he should sit together, and if he is not guilty, the minister will defend his husband's court. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) did not back down, "Ming Chengzu once destroyed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru, the emperor should follow suit, General Minghao is Gu Kui's teacher, and his love is better than that of father and son, even if he is young and forgivable, how can we be parents without blame!"
The emperor was angry and reprimanded his brother-in-law: "I told you to take people, and you went against my will and indulged yourself, what kind of crime should you be guilty of!"
Shi Bao had no choice but to kneel and kowtow: "The minister is guilty, just because of Her Royal Highness Princess Chaoyun-"
The emperor slapped the dragon case: "You listen to me and listen to her?"
"Your Majesty. Shi Bao glanced at Qin Siyue (Long Xi), "His Royal Highness holds the golden medal edict of Emperor Taizong, and the ministers dare not go against the decree." β
The monarch and the ministers were shocked: "Gold medal edict?"
"Your Majesty, Taizong awarded the Nine Dragons Gold Medal, exempted from punishment and punished civilianly. Qin Siyue (Longxi) took the object and revealed, "This statement is contained in the Inner Palace, and the emperor can be asked to send a decree to check it!"
This is not a trivial matter, the emperor immediately ordered King Zhongheng to take the "Taizong Living Note" over.
After checking the living notes and the copy of the holy decree on file, the emperor was silent.
"Uncle Huang, in the past, Meng Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the son of the Mu family also received Kublai Khan's courtesy, then he is still a foreign king, are you inferior to him?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) saw that the emperor had some intentions, and continued to persuade, "If Your Majesty is really not at ease, the sons are willing to guarantee Ming Hao, if there is a retrograde, my husband and wife will sit together with the Ming family!"
King Zhongyong admonished: "Ming Hao holds the power of the army, if he suddenly attacks and endangers the clan, what good will it do to go through the chain?"
The kings of loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty echoed one after another: "What the fourth brother (fourth brother) said is very true. β
Don't look at the strength of King Zhongyong and King Zhonglian, they have an absolute unanimous position on issues involving the Jin family's family business, and resolutely oppose the emperor's second brother raising tigers.
Although Qin Siyue (Longxi) is the blood of Taizu, in the end it is not the surname Jin, and the weight of the words is not enough, seeing that the kings are in the same position, he raised his head and sighed: "The five emperors have been divided so far, and the immortal country has not been seen for four thousand years, and it will collapse the next day, and the Gu family is a noble with a different surname, and there is no obstacle in retreating to farming; β
"You're crazy!" If these words were to be changed to another person, properly exterminate the Nine Clans, in terms of Qin Siyue (Long Xi), he would only get a reprimand from the emperor.
"Uncle Emperor, the people of the world call you long live; the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty say that the Qing Dynasty is extended, thousands of generations, the words of the sons and daughters, don't really believe these words, the reincarnation of the world and retribution are not happyββ"
"Bold!" King Zhongxiao said angrily, "You are the princess of Daqing, but you actually excuse the descendants of the former Ming Dynasty, what is your intention?"
"Heart?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is not afraid to compete with the loyal and filial piety king, "My husband and the general of Minghao, Tiema Jinge, defeated Hu Lu in nine deaths, and when it comes to protecting the territory and the people, which is not as good as Uncle Wang?
King Zhongxiao's face was red: "You-"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) turned her head to inspect, strode to the wall and took the sword above, King Zhongxiao was startled, retreated behind the prince and stammered, "What are you going to do?"
Princess Chaoyun's reputation among the clan is not good, a few years ago she presided over the defense war of the Beijing Division, and the king of Zhongsui County openly disobeyed the order to seize the military power of the imperial forest, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) directly started with her cousin, and the king of Zhongsui County was almost chopped by his niece without noticing, and he is still guarding the tomb of Emperor Taizu.
"Emperor Taizong is gone, I have no capricious capital, it's not fake" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at the kings, "I'll put my words here today, the Ming family is here, and the Ming family is dead!"
After saying this, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took the sword and walked out of the main hall.
The prince hurriedly chased him out, and the kings looked at each other.
I don't know how long it took, King Zhonglian replied: "Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyun is a woman's kindness, you must not be soft-hearted. β
Yonglin came back and relayed his cousin's words: "Father, Princess Chaoyun said that she sent someone to repair the family letter to Marshal Gu, 'If you dare to take Minghao before the battle, the day you return to Beijing will be the period of peace and departure!'"
King Zhongxiao is not calm: "It's the opposite!"
The emperor finally gave in a step: "Tell Shi Bao to capture the Ming family first, and then discuss it later." β
The forbidden army's movements were half a step late.
In the interval when Shi Bao entered the palace with Qin Siyue (Long Xi), Dong Mei got Qin Siyue (Long Xi) to take Ming Hao's wife into the house, and was thinking of going to the west of the city to move the Ming family, and happened to hit Feng Da on the street, so he handed over the errand to him, Feng Dayuan was worried that there was no chance to serve, and he hired three or four carriages on the road to pick up people without even returning to the Shenlong General's Mansion, and when Shi Bao came again, the Ming family had already lived in the princess's mansion.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) called the emperor for the Ming Hao family, the forbidden army did not dare to openly rush into the princess's mansion to get people, Shi Bao stood at the gate grinding the floor tiles, and the entourage urged without long eyes: "My lord, the Ming family is inside, we should go in!"
Shi Bao glared at his subordinates: "What kind of place are you supposed to be?"
The entourage's neck shrank: "Let's rush in and ignore the three-seven-twenty-one, if we rob someone, we will leave, and we won't hurt the princess!"
"How dare you guarantee that you can hold the right grip?" Shi Bao said with scruples, "If the two little sons of the Gu family and the little county lord are in the mansion, who will bear the accident?"
What Shi Bao didn't say was: Princess Chaoyun has a strong temperament, if she is forced to wipe her neck with a sword, don't care if you are the uncle of the country or the prince of the prince, who deserves this crime? In the early years, this master did not know how many times he fought with Emperor Taizong in order to protect his sister-in-law's family, and Emperor Taizong didn't treat her well, if she did not die well in her sister-in-law, the reputation of the emperor's father and son would be ruined, and none of the forbidden troops present today wanted to live.
Not everyone can see this clearly.
The forbidden army surrounded Princess Chaoyun's mansion, which frightened the people of Gu Mansion, and they all thought that something bad had happened to Gu Changbai (Mokun) and his wife, and Huang hugged Bufan and cried: "Okay, why is this like this, but what trouble did Changbai do?"
Mrs. Zhang was displeased: "Changbai is out commanding the army, what can he do to the court?"
Gu Zheng said: "How could the sage send the forbidden army to besiege the princess's mansion for no reason?"
This is the point! In addition to catching traitors, it is a job to raid the house and destroy the door, and now that they have swept the streets of the princess's mansion, how can the Gu family not be afraid?
Gu Yin doesn't care much on weekdays, so he stood up and spoke: "Second brother is afraid of being implicated, let's split up immediately!"
Huang hurriedly agreed: "What the eldest master said is very true. β
Gu Zheng was silent.
"Ridiculous!" Gu Lao Taijun knocked on his crutches, "A family of flesh and blood, how can there be a reason for each other to fly separately when a catastrophe comes?" Not to mention that the situation is unclear, even if Changbai and the princess commit a big crime and affect the whole family, there is no reason to separate the family!"
"Old lady-" Huang was anxious, "Do you think about it?"
"Don't retreat yet!" The Gu Mansion rarely saw Gu Lao Taijun so powerful, the Huang family didn't dare to say more, and even Huang Fengqing, who was moved, lowered his head.
After a while, Gu Feng, who was injured, passed the house in a soft sedan chair and said to Gu Yin: "Uncle, but there is a place to be sent, don't go outside, the Gu family is in the same spirit, even if we are in prison, we will follow as companions!"
"Okay!good!" Gu Yin shook Gu Feng's hand excitedly, "I thank Changbai for your affection." β
As soon as Gu Fu calmed down, the steward went back and forth: "Uncle Shunyi has something important to ask to see the master." β
Old Mrs. Gu hurriedly said, "Please." β
Mrs. Zhang and other female relatives hurriedly avoided it.
Qin Ji strode in, and after saluting Old Lady Gu, he asked Gu Yin directly: "Can the wife of the in-laws be in the house?" This Si Yuete is not like words, hurry up and ask the mother-in-law to persuade her!"
Both inside and outside feel relieved, Qin Ji said this, naturally it means that the princess and Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) are unhindered.
Old Taijun Gu took the opportunity to ask: "The forbidden army has surrounded the princess's mansion, and we don't dare to act rashly, can the in-laws know the inside story?"
"I'll cut it short. Qin Ji drank saliva and handed the tea cup back to Gu Lian, "Brother Kui'er's martial master Ming Hao is actually the great-grandson of Emperor Chongzhen, and now he has been found out by the imperial history, the emperor ordered the forbidden army to arrest the Ming family, Siyue protects the short, detains the Ming family, and the forbidden army does not dare to move strong, the two stalemate until now, the emperor can't, call me from the Beijing defense camp, the county lord also went to persuade, thinking that she listened to the words of her in-laws' wife, so she asked me to invite." β
"Why is the princess so confused!" Gu Yin couldn't help but pause while relieved, "The emperor is kind enough not to add guilt, and he openly shields sinners-"
Qin Ji waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, she followed Emperor Taizong when she was a child, her temper is terrible, she can't pull back the nine cows she has made up her mind, Lao Shi is embarrassed, and the master Niangniang told him in every possible way not to startle his brothers and sisters, and now she is still standing at the gate to blow the wind!"
Sister Gu Kui was in the Shenlong General's Mansion, and Mrs. Zhang was not worried about her grandson, so she came out and replied to Old Taijun Gu: "Daughter-in-law, let's go." β
Gu Zheng and his wife were both happy, fortunately, the old lady had foresight, otherwise they would have completely offended the big house.
Yue Shi tried his best to convince his daughter, and finally became anxious: "Don't you really want to lose the dignity of the two dynasties?"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was extremely firm: "Mother, the Ming family was originally only engaged in farming and studying, it was Brother Changbai who invited Ming Hao to join the army, and it was also my favor to choose him to be the master of Kwai Er, and now I can't protect his family, what dignity do I have?"
Mrs. Zhang heard this sentence at the door, and after coming in, she didn't speak, and when she saw Yue's anger on her face, she persuaded softly: "In-laws, what the princess did was not bad, and I also saw General Minghao and the lady of the Ming family, they are all real people who don't have a city government, and it is really unbearable to be convicted based on their surnames alone." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) turned a little pale: "What Mrs. said is very true. β
Yue Shi said angrily: "Marry your husband, your Gu family is not afraid of involvement, what do I care about?"
"In-laws, isn't it because the princess can be liked by Emperor Taizong and the Queen Mother's two palaces, isn't it because she values affection?
"Well, as you please. Yue's is also helpless, people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are standing on the same line, what else can she do as a mother, "I went to beg the queen, the saint is willing to listen to her." β
"I don't think Siyue's words are unreasonable, people are blocking knives for you in the front, and you are exterminating people in the back, this is not kind!"
Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but with the love between the emperor and the queen, and the son of the standing class, as long as there is a heart, it is not difficult for the queen to know some of the situation of the previous dynasty, not to mention the matter involving Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and her brother.
"The benevolence of a woman!" the emperor was annoyed, "Myeonghao is a military general who assists in the defense of Gyeonggi, and if there is a crisis at a critical moment, you and I will be in danger. β
"Oh!" the queen nodded, "I heard Yongdong say that five years ago, the Northern Expedition to the Northern Barbarians, this Ming Hao was the first meritorious striker general in addition to the coach Gu Changbai, and later said that he resigned from the hereditary title to abandon his armor and return to the field, Gu Changbai went to the door several times to ask for no result, and finally reluctantly accepted the official position because of your holy decree, but now it is not a big deal." β
"Youβ" the Emperor barely mentioned it, "you think she's right, too?"
"I have to agree with Siyue's words!" the empress sighed, "In the future, the emperors of the Daqing Dynasty will be my descendants, and I don't want future generations to lose the country, because the kings of the new dynasty will follow what you did today and make us end up with no children and grandchildren." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't feel much when he said this, and the emperor didn't feel much when he said this, and it really made him creepy when he said it: "You are alarmist!"
The queen shook her head: "You know it yourself, unless the Daqing Dynasty is really eternal!"
The emperor was silent, and said for a long time: "The former Qin Fu is kind to the Murong clan, the imperial descendant of the Yan Kingdom, what is the result-"
I don't agree with that. "The queen decomposes," the traitor lies in the loss of the king's government, and looks at Sima Yan, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, and Li Yuan...... Which of them is a descendant of the former dynasty?"
