Chapter 57: The Cabinet
There is a small warm pavilion on the side of the Qianqing Palace, in the previous dynasty, it was called "Purple Light Pavilion", and many ministers who ruled the world walked out from it. In this day, the name was changed and the surname was changed, and it was called "Wenyuan Pavilion". If the cabinet ministers are gathered when there is no court meeting, they can also discuss and discuss policies.
Nowadays, the ministers of the new faction who "apply the application of the world" and the ministers of the old faction who "stick to the agricultural roots" are all sitting in the cabinet, and they actually look like they want to discuss matters all night.
Sitting at the top were the little emperor He Xiao and his mother, but Qiu Anren was missing from the side of him, but the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little chamberlain he recommended, whose name was also clear, called "Leng Changqiu".
Leng Xiaogong's arm brushed the dust, glanced at Qiu Anren, the top boss who was kneeling down, and tried to hide the surprise in his eyes.
He is not Qiu Anren, and on this occasion, it is better for him to be a quiet stone statue.
As soon as Yu Jingningfu entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he immediately kowtowed and said, "My nephew is guilty." These words were said to the Empress Dowager Lin.
Empress Dowager Lin was a little surprised by his attitude, and asked him: "Brother Ning, what are you doing, don't you hurry up, what is your identity, why do you kneel like this and reply." ”
"My nephew knows who he is." Yu Jingning knelt on the ground, face down, unable to see his expression, "The dignity and dignity of my nephew were all given to my nephew by the emperor and the emperor. This is sin one. ”
The people in the cabinet never expected that they hadn't even asked what was going on today, but Yu Jingning confessed his guilt first.
"Stripped of this layer of dignity and dignity, my nephew earned it himself, but he was only the captain of the Jinyi Guard." After Yu Jingning counted his first charge, he paused for a while, as if waiting for the reaction of the people around him, and then opened his mouth again, "My nephew has a humble position, but he has no respect for his superiors and is rude and arrogant, which is the second crime." ”
Qiu Anren, who was kneeling on the side, almost broke out in cold sweat on his head, but there was still a smile on his lips, and he said in his heart, okay, little cub, he is really capable of fighting against the army.
Yu Jingning kowtowed once on a count, but now he has kowtowed twice, but his mouth still doesn't stop: "My nephew usually obeys the teachings of his elders, but today he is angry, and he forgets his father's and uncle's teachings cleanly, and he loses his honor on the street." This is the third crime, and the Queen Mother is also asked to punish him. ”
Yu Jingning knelt on the ground, secretly thinking in his heart that he was really more and more similar to Yu Zhiwei's style of acting.
Now that the others haven't said anything, they have thrown out a few accusations in a row, blocking people from speaking. Not to mention the Empress Dowager Lin, even the ministers of the Manwenyuan Pavilion frowned and were silent - I am afraid that they are all ghosts.
Yu Jingning added another sentence before everyone could speak: "My nephew knows that his sin is unforgivable, and I only hope that my mother will listen to my nephew and argue a few more words." The nephew usually has a temperament, and the mother also knows that he is definitely not a reckless and rash person. Why is this today, presumably the mother and the adults should also think about it. No matter what people's hearts are, heaven and earth have their own justice. The nephew pointed to the sky and the earth and said a word from the heart today, although the nephew made a big mistake today, but if he did it again, the nephew would still choose to do so. ”
"My father is in charge of the army for Daheng, and our Yu family is here to keep me safe in Daheng." Yu Jingning knelt down and straightened now, and said loudly, "Only in this way can my nephew not lose the name of 'Jingning' for my nephew." ”
Empress Dowager Lin looked at the young man kneeling in front of her, there was no obvious look on her face, no matter how complicated her mood was, she was pressed under her face. Her voice was calm, and she called Leng Xiaogong fairly: "Changqiu, move a stool for our Brother Ning to sit on." ”
Yu Jingning thanked him, sat down according to his words, and sat next to the little emperor He Xiao. He Xiao, who was still childlike, turned his head sideways and stared at him and winked.
Yu Jingning noticed his gaze and immediately bowed down and bowed his hand: "The criminal minister has the emperor's grace." ”
"No, no, no." He Xiao was excited, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No...... Brother Ning, you ......"
Ignoring her son's incoherent words, Empress Dowager Lin crossed over to him and took Yu Jingning's hand first, and put his hand on He Xiao's hand: "Child, what kind of crime is not sinful, our emperor will rely on you young children to assist in the future...... Your father and the former emperor became brothers with different surnames, and we are already a family......"
"Mother." Before Empress Dowager Lin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wan Chengping, and he said with a straight face, "Today, the emperor and his ministers summoned Wenyuan Pavilion, and summoned the prince of Pingshuo and Gao Qianhu to come, I'm afraid it's not to talk about some aunts and nephews?" ”
This old man has a bad temper, and no one is afraid of offending, so he directly interrupted the topic that Empress Dowager Lin wanted to reverse.
Empress Dowager Lin's face changed slightly, and she only said coldly: "Lord Wan is in a hurry, and he can't wait for a while." After she said this, she sat up straight and said, "Then you can tell me what is going on today and what should you do?" ”
"What the prince said, the minister thinks there is some truth." A young man sitting at the bottom opened his mouth, he was born five or six points similar to Chen Yuexing, it was Chen Yuexing's eldest brother who was young and a minister, called Chen Hui.
Chen Hui smiled slightly, and continued: "What is the matter of today. I Daheng explicitly ordered a ban on smoking, since the previous people were all severely sentenced, then when they came to Feng Quan, it would be the same. If there is suspicion, then it will be investigated, and it is not easy to give people grievances in vain. I'm sure all of you will be able to get to the same place as me. But it's just such a simple thing, and it turned out to be like this today, so it's time to take a closer look. ”
At this moment, Qiu Anren immediately answered: "It's the slave's fault that he didn't control his subordinates. ”
Chen Hui smiled at Qiu Anren, and then said: "Only Gao Qianhu didn't speak today, I wonder if Brother Gao has anything to say?" ”
Gao Miao raised his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "The minister has nothing to say." ”
The audience in the pavilion was in an uproar, Chen Hui's face was kind, and he continued: "Gao Qianhu, in such a shape now, every word of your words is the most important, how can you 'have nothing to say'." ”
Gao Miao knelt on the ground and bowed his hand to everyone in the pavilion: "The minister just arrested and interrogated people according to the old practice today, I really didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and one of my brothers is still uncertain, and the minister really doesn't know what to say." ”
Yu Jingning and Gao Miao sang and harmonized, although they did not mention "Qiu Anren shielded his subordinates", "Feng Quan and the entire Dongchang have ghosts", but except for the little emperor He Xiao, who has never been in the state, everyone in the cabinet is a smart person, and they can also hear the point of the words.
In the pavilion of square inches, the dark tide is surging, words and eyes are all sharp swords, and when they kill each other, the blood of the outlaw is silent.
