Chapter 698: Failed
The next day, when Gu Nuannuan was still meeting with Zhou Hui, the atmosphere in the court was very bad.
Mu Chenning looked at Wen Ziteng coldly, and said lightly: "What do you mean, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou bullied their sister?" ”
Wen Ziteng always felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's tone, but he didn't think much about it, bent over, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean this, it's just that Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou are relying on their husband's family to bully the weak in the capital, and this kind of thing must be severely punished, what does Master Li think?" ”
Lord Li is Lord Yushi.
Hearing Wen Ziteng's words, he smiled and stood up: "Your Majesty, the atmosphere of bullying naturally cannot be promoted, but what Master Wen said about Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou's bullying, the old minister has not heard of it, but the old minister has heard a lot of news about Miss Wen bullying noble daughters. ”
Wen Ziteng frowned: "Lord Li said carefully, my sister would never do such a thing!" My sister is weak, I'm afraid that some people deliberately spread rumors, Lord Li is an official of the imperial court, but you have to look at it rationally. ”
Come on, isn't this just saying that Master Li is old and dizzy?
Lord Li was not angry, and said lightly: "Lord Wen asked me to comment on this matter by name, and I just said what I know, Lord Li said that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tian bullied the weak, but is there any evidence?" ”
Wen Ziteng glanced at Master Li, you must know that no matter what he said before, Lord Li was in agreement, what is going on today?
Actually contradicting yourself?
If he knew that he had taken the wrong medicine today, he would not have named Lord Li to express his opinion!
But the matter has come to this point, and he can only bite the bullet and say: "What happened yesterday can be found out at will." ”
Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.
At the same time, they also gave their own people a look and stood still.
Although there were some doubts, these people still did not come forward.
After all, the parties are not in a hurry!
"Master Chen, tell me what happened yesterday." Mu Chenning spoke lightly.
Lord Chen is today's Jing Zhaoyin.
But seeing Master Chen walk out, he said slowly: "Yesterday's incident is that Miss Wen took a fancy to a girl's jade hairpin and wanted to buy the jade hairpin with a lot of money. ”
"Buying and selling is a very common thing, and my sister's approach is not bullying." Wen Ziteng immediately said.
Lord Chen glanced at Wen Ziteng leisurely, and said slowly: "Lord Wen doesn't need to worry, buying and selling is naturally not a big problem, but after the girl quoted, Miss Wen didn't seem to be able to afford it, so Miss Wen's maid coerced and tempted the girl to take out the jade hairpin directly." ”
Wen Ziteng's face changed, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "Then I don't know, what is the price offered by that girl?" ”
"One hundred thousand taels of gold." Master Chen said unhurriedly.
"Haha!" Wen Ziteng let out a mocking smile, "It's just that a jade hairpin actually offers such a high price?" Isn't that a starting price for sitting on the ground? ”
Saying that, Wen Ziteng immediately looked at Mu Chenning: "Your Majesty, this trend must not be promoted, if everyone is like that girl, how can the common people still buy and sell?" ”
"If everyone sits on the ground and raises the price, then the common people are afraid that they will starve to death!"
"Lord Wen." Lord Chen frowned, and said word by word to Ziteng's gaze above, "There is a difference in this statement, first of all, this girl doesn't want to sell the jade hairpin on her head, it is Ling Mei who forcibly buys it, and that girl offers a high price, but she just wants to tell Ling Mei that she doesn't want to sell!" ”
"But Ling Mei's maid was coercive, and said that she wanted to trouble other people's families."
"Hmph, if every adult's family is so threatening to the common people, then what have we become? As officials, we must consider the people, instead of using our own identity to buy and sell! ”
"Master Wen, Sister Ling, it's better for you to teach well!"
"As for Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou, the two of them did not insult Ling Mei in a word, I think there must be some misunderstanding here, and please ask the emperor to find out!"
Saying that, Lord Chen knelt down towards Mu Chenning: "Your Majesty, Lord Wen's sister has done such a thing more than once, and there are still many people in Weichen who sue Lord Wen's sister, but every time the trial is about to start, the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit, and Weichen feels strange, and secretly investigates and finds that it is the people around Lord Wen, coercion and temptation!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Wen Ziteng's face changed, and he looked at Lord Chen in disbelief, he didn't expect that Lord Chen would let himself not get off the stage in the Jinluan Palace!
Taking a deep breath, Wen Ziteng lifted his robe and knelt down: "Ask the emperor to see clearly!" ”
Mu Chenning looked at Wen Ziteng and didn't speak all the time.
But the adults on Wen Ziteng's side knelt down one after another to plead, obviously saying that Wen Ziteng would not do this, but secretly he was satirizing Lord Chen for framing Wen Ziteng.
"In this way, Lord Chen deliberately did it to frame Wen Aiqing?" Mu Chenning spoke lightly.
Master Chen didn't speak, nor did he show any fear.
Wen Ziteng calmed down, listened to Mu Chenning's words, his heart also settled down, and said slowly: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here." ”
"Huh." Mu Chenning chuckled lightly and looked up at Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan, "Do Tian Qing's family and Zhou Qing's family have anything to say?" ”
Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan walked out.
Tian Fuzhou smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's a misunderstanding, what Miss Wen did, who in the capital doesn't know?" Relying on the fact that Lord Wen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, it can be said that he is doing evil. ”
"Oh, by the way, Lord Wen is not innocent, after all, many of the things that Miss Wen did were Lord Wen wiping her ass in the back."
"As for my wife's business, tsk."
"My wife really doesn't want to see Sister Ling, so please don't keep coming to my wife, lest my child also learn from Sister Ling, and lose face!"
“!”
Wen Ziteng looked at Tian Fuzhou in shock.
He knew that Tian Fuzhou was a hanger, he was still a tyrant in the capital at the beginning, but he only got better a few years ago and became responsible.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would say these things so bluntly, wouldn't he be afraid of offending him?
Or is it that Tian Fuzhou didn't see himself at all!
These second-generation officials really look down on their poor background.
But so what?
Now, the celebrity around the emperor is him!
Thinking like this, a trace of disdain crossed Wen Ziteng's eyes.
Zhou Wan arched his hand and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my wife is weak, but she is not a person who can't fight back and scold back. ”
Although Zhou Wan's words were much more euphemistic, he was also telling everyone that if Wen Ziyue hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, Yang Min would not have fought back.
Wen Ziteng's heart was full of anger.
After today, he must make them look good!
How dare you arrange the moon like this!
Mu Chenning didn't speak.
Zhou Wan glanced at Tian Fuzhou and smiled, obviously not taking this matter to heart.
Tian Fuzhou also raised his eyebrows, everything Mu Chenning already knew.
So, Wen Ziteng, hehe, self-righteous.
"Lord Chen, please get up." Mu Chenning spoke lightly.
Lord Chen hurriedly thanked him and stood up.
Wen Ziteng on the side was stunned, his heart beat rapidly, what does the emperor mean by this?
Could it be that you believe them?
Thinking like this, Wen Ziteng was a little flustered.
"Wen Aiqing, get up too." Mu Chenning spoke again, soothing the panic in Wen Ziteng's heart.
"Uncle Wang, they're back, and I'm ready to restore their former identities." Without continuing the topic, Mu Chenning mentioned another thing.
Mu Chenning looked at everyone and sighed: "For them, it's my fault. ”
"The emperor forgives his sins!"
Everyone bowed their heads.
Mu Chenning waved his hand and said slowly, "I don't know what your opinions do you have on this?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion!" Tian Fuzhou was the first to stand up, with a smile on his face, "If you let them feel the emperor's sincerity, the minister feels that the advantages of this move outweigh the disadvantages!" ”
"Weichen also thinks this move is very good, after all, Xianwang and the others did nothing wrong at the beginning." Zhou Wan also echoed.
Everyone gasped, although the emperor issued an edict of guilt, but no one dared to say that the emperor was wrong in front of the emperor.
And Zhou Wan's meaning is obviously saying that the emperor is wrong!
"Zhou Qingjia is right."
Mu Chenning let out a long sigh: "In this way, Lao Tian Aiqing and Zhou Aiqing issued this will." ”
Seeing this, the father-in-law on the side hurriedly took the holy decree down.
Zhou Wan nodded towards Tian Fuzhou, took the will, and glanced at the contents of it, with some surprise in his eyes.
Tian Fuzhou directly pulled Zhou Wan's command.
"So, everybody, stand down."
Mu Chenning spoke lightly, and everyone saluted, and only got up after seeing Mu Chenning leave.
Wen Ziteng walked past Zhou Wan and Tian Fuzhou, snorted coldly, and said in a weird manner: "Lord Tian and Lord Zhou are really good today. ”
"Wen Ziteng, do you know what a sentence says? What is it called, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. ”
Tian Fuzhou looked at Wen Ziteng with a smile: "I don't bother to care about my sister's bullying of other people, and I bullied my wife's head, thinking that my family is a decoration?" ”
"Or do you think I'm an ornament?"
Wen Ziteng's face sank: "Tian Fuzhou, you deceive people too much!" ”
"Too much deception?" Zhou Wan chuckled twice and slowly spoke, "This should be returned to Master Wen, although I Zhou Wan has no family background and is from a poor background, I can't allow some people to bully my mother!" ”
"Master Wen, you can also discipline Sister Ling, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, even if it's the emperor, you can't protect it!"
As he spoke, Tian Fuzhou flicked his long sleeves and pulled Zhou Wan and left directly.
Seeing this, Wen Ziteng's face turned red and white with anger.
The people on Wen Ziteng's side went over to comfort him.
"Why should Lord Wen be like them, now above the court, the position of prime minister has been vacant, I see that the emperor should belong to Lord Wen, when the time comes, Lord Wen don't forget to bring us!"
Wen Ziteng's face showed a smug look, but his mouth was very modest: "Where, where is it, the adults are laughing." ”
Lord Chen and Master Li walked past Wen Ziteng, the two glanced at each other and smiled, Wen Ziteng's purpose was about to fail!
