Chapter 54
It was just dawn, and hundreds of officials and courtiers in the capital entered the palace in turn, and several officials noticed the absence of Lord Fu Yuan, combined with the rumors heard in the downtown yesterday evening, several people gathered together to discuss before the emperor came.
Liang Fengmian and Liang Xiao looked tired, standing in front of the hundred officials, exuding an inferior aura that no one should approach.
Although Qi Jingyang was very drunk yesterday, he came to the Jinluan Palace early on the second day, which was also unexpected by everyone.
Seeing Qi Jingyang's proud appearance, Prime Minister Lu Gaohong knew that yesterday's incident must be related to his nephew, as the uncle of the current prince and the only brother of the former queen, he had to worry that Qi Jingyang would get carried away and stumble.
Lu Gaohong walked towards Qi Jingyang quietly, and when Qi Jingyang saw Lu Gaohong coming, he made a false gesture and said with a smile: "Uncle." ”
Although Qi Jingyang is the crown prince, he has great respect for his uncle Lu Gaohong because of the relationship between the former queen, in addition to speaking in the officialdom Qi Jingyang will call Lu Gaohong the prime minister, when the two speak in private, he will call Lu Gaohong an uncle to show respect and closeness.
Lu Gaohong nodded in response, stood beside Qi Jingyang, and looked at the noisy civil and military officials with him, of course, there was no shortage of looking at Liang Fengmian and Liang Lian's ridiculous faces now.
Lu Gaohong said: "Yesterday's incident has something to do with you, right? ”
Qi Jingyang was proud, and was suddenly a little surprised when his uncle asked him this, he looked at his uncle and asked, "How did my uncle know?" ”
After hearing this, Lu Gaohong sighed secretly in his heart, don't talk about others, if Qi Jingyang is not his own nephew, he will also think that Qi Jingyang is a big straw bag, and he is not as good as his own rebel Lu Chen.
Lu Gaohong glanced at Qi Jingyang, who was slightly flustered, and said, "Joy and anger are invisible. How did I ever teach you? ”
Qi Jingyang nodded suddenly, put away the smugness on his face, pretended to be calm and stood with Lu Gaohong, looking at the civil and military officials.
"You're still too impetuous." Lu Gaohong said again.
Qi Jingyang was a little puzzled, what he did yesterday was obvious, and all the responsibility was attributed to Wen Shihao of Heifeng Village, and even Liang Fengmian's joint and several responsibilities were also implicated, if Qi Jingqin could not be found, the emperor might be angry and sit down to Liang Fengmian. He thought that this trick was very ingenious, and he didn't know why his uncle said so.
"Please also ask my uncle for advice." Although Qi Jingyang was a little unconvinced in his heart, he still had a lot of respect for this uncle.
Lu Gaohong was fifteen years old and called the prime minister, carried forward the Lu family, moved the whole family to live in Shangjing, and the first emperor rewarded a mansion, which was in the most prosperous area of Shangjing, which was a supreme honor.
Lu Gaohong and Lu Fushuang brother and sister have no father or mother since childhood, with the help of the clansmen, Lu Gaohong studied hard in the cold window, and became famous, and a poem came out, shocking the world.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, Lu Fushuang was canonized as the queen mother of the country, and the children of the Lu family also achieved fame with the help of Lu Gaohong and Lu Fushuang, and the Lu family was extremely prosperous before Lu Fushuang died.
Qi Jingyang knows that he can still be the prince of the East Palace and has a lot to do with the Lu family, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Lu Fushuang dies, but Lu Gaohong is still there, and Concubine Mei in the harem is favored again, and she can't make much trouble in the previous dynasty.
Lu Gaohong looked at Qi Jingyang's eyes and said, "You are in too much of a hurry to slaughter the people of Wen Shihao's entire village, I am afraid that you will leave evidence!" ”
When Lu Gaohong heard that the emperor summoned Qi Jingyang yesterday, he felt that something was wrong, if it was just for Liang Huanqing to be killed and Qi Jingqin to be missing, it would be more than enough to summon Liang Fengmian, why did he summon Qi Jingyang, and only after inquiring did he know that it was Qi Jingyang who learned the news first and slaughtered Heifeng Village to prevent future troubles.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this will inevitably be a little strange, but Qi Jingyang is stupid and doesn't know it, and thinks that this is a thing to be proud of.
Qi Jingyang heard his uncle say this, and his face began to panic a little, but in the Jinluan Palace, the eyes of the civil and military officials were all staring at the high position, and he asked in a low voice: "That... What now? ”
Lu Gaohong snorted coldly, the arrogance of the literati since ancient times was vividly displayed in him, even in front of the prince.
He said, "If you knew this was the case, why didn't you consult me when you did it in the first place?" ”
Qi Jingyang didn't know how to speak, when Zhao Peiyu said this plan, it was already the evening before Liang Huanqing returned to Beijing, and it was obviously too late to discuss it with Lu Gaohong.
Lu Gaohong sighed and said, "You can only take one step at a time." ”
Qi Jingyang knew that his uncle would definitely help him, so he nodded reassuringly.
"The emperor has arrived-" Gonggong He shook off the dust, his eyes looked directly at the hanging beams of the Jinluan Palace, and shouted loudly.
The civil and military officials lined up according to their ranks, knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "Weichen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, his body made his face slightly tired, and he said, "Aiqing is flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
The emperor coughed lightly, and when Gonggong He saw it, he was blessed, and shouted loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
His Royal Highness's hundred officials couldn't help but feel strange, such a big thing happened yesterday, King Jing disappeared, and the eldest lady of General Liang's Mansion was killed, didn't the emperor know about it?
Liang Fengmian and Liang Xiao didn't speak, they just stood in place, they knew that the emperor didn't want to put this matter on the table and say it, after all, it was more or less about the prince's seizure of the heir, and besides, if this matter was really done by the prince, it would definitely hurt the emperor's heart, the father was still there, and the son was actually thinking about replacing his father.
Qin Yuandao, the servant of the ministry, looked at Liang Fengmian in the front row, and found that he was unmoved, after Qin Ruilan returned home yesterday, he told Qin Yuandao the reason for the incident, Qin Yuandao, as a friend of Liang Fengmian, still felt angry, but Liang Fengmian who saw him today was as calm as water, unmoved.
Qi Jingyang lowered his head and didn't dare to show off, Lu Gaohong stood straight, his eyes only looked ahead, as if he didn't know what happened yesterday, and put himself out of the matter.
The emperor looked at the civil and military officials under him, shook his head, and said, "Since there is nothing to do, He Liang..."
When the emperor was about to instruct Gonggong He to announce his retirement from the court, Qin Yuandao stood up, standing in the middle of the civil and military officials with the court board in his hand, and respectfully waved to the emperor and said: "Enlighten the emperor, the ministers have something to play." ”
After Liang Fengmian heard this, he turned slightly sideways to look at his old friend Qin Yuandao, Qin Yuandao also felt Liang Fengmian's gaze, the two glanced at each other, Liang Fengmian shook his head quietly, and motioned to Qin Yuandao not to speak.
And Qin Yuandao felt that Liang Fengmian was a general of Liang, loyal to the country and fulfilled his duties, but his family was killed by traitors, and his whereabouts are still unknown, just Qin Yuandao could think that there was a huge conspiracy behind the matter, so he wanted to ask the emperor to be the master to seek justice for Liang Fengmian.
Qin Yuandao ignored Liang Fengmian's obstruction, and insisted on standing in the middle of the hundred officials, facing the current saint directly.
The emperor was too tired yesterday, and there have been frequent wars recently, and there are endless reviews and twists and turns, and today's body is already a little uncomfortable, and he feels a headache after sitting for a while.
The emperor said: "Quasi-play." ”
Liang Fengmian's eyes were a little anxious, and he kept signaling Qin Yuandao not to say anything, but Qin Yuandao was already standing here, where would he go back.
Qin Yuandao held the court board to the emperor and said: "What the minister wants to say is that Liang Huanqing of the Jianwei General's Mansion was killed outside the city yesterday, more than a dozen hours have passed since now, Liang Huanqing's whereabouts are still unknown, General Liang is loyal and upright, and his family should not have suffered from this scourge. ”
Liang Fengmian saw that he couldn't stop it, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a family matter of Weichen, and it shouldn't have been taken out to talk about the emperor." Lord Qin and Weichen have a lot of private interactions, and Yu Xiaonu is like an uncle, seeing that Xiaonu was killed, he couldn't help but get angry in a hurry, and asked the emperor for forgiveness. ”
Yesterday, the emperor had already appeased Liang Fengmian, and Liang Fengmian didn't want his family affairs to be brought to the table to discuss, after all, he didn't know if it was related to his extermination of Heifeng Village back then.
Qin Yuandao wanted to say something, he didn't understand why Liang Fengmian was so resistant, when he heard Qin Ruilan talk about the scene yesterday, he felt scared for a while even if he wasn't there.
