Chapter 3: What a trick to draw salary!

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Hundreds of officials stood in columns, with civil officials on the right, headed by Prime Minister Xie. The military attache was on the left, headed by General Jin, and the two teams raised their eyes and looked at each other with sparks, and there was an invisible fire and murderous aura above the hall.

Xie Xiang gave a look, and Shi Shiran stepped forward to present, "Your Majesty, the queen's words and deeds are informable, bold and reckless, yesterday in the Weiyang Palace in the blatant assassination of the concubine, the ruthlessness is really jaw-dropping, such a cold-blooded woman with corrupt virtue, must not continue to be the queen, cause trouble in the harem, please ask the emperor to decree, the Xie family into the cold palace, to correct the law." ”

Long Tingyu sat on the dragon chair, glanced at Xie Xiang as if embarrassed, and sneered, "Xie Xiang also thinks so?" ”

Xie Ziheng is more than fifty years old, his spirit is shimmering, there are two deep nasolabial folds at both ends of his cheeks, swooping down, looking serious, with a fierce look, his hands are folded in his sleeves, and he stands upright, "How do ministers think that it is not important, the ancestral etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

What if a disobedient maid gives up?

"Xie Xiang's righteous killing of relatives is really domineering." At this time, General Jin, who was wearing a dark golden military uniform on the opposite side, had a strong posture and a radiant face, stood up directly.

Compared with Xie Ziheng, who is full of literati, General Jin is the evil god who came back with a bloody knife on the battlefield, walking with the wind, deep eye sockets, eyes like knives, walked to Xie Ziheng's side, and sneered, "The queen mother is guilty, but she can't be raised, her father's fault, as the father of the queen's mother, the queen did such a shocking thing, that is, the prime minister's mansion has no family education etiquette, if you really want to be punished, you should behead Xie Xiangman, right?" ”

Even though he knew that it was impossible, as long as he could make this sworn enemy embarrassed, he would feel comfortable.

"The general's words are wrong." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately stood up and frowned, "The woman follows her father at home, marries her husband, and the queen makes mistakes, what is the crime with Xie Xiang now?" ”

"The most annoying thing about your literati's crooked chirping, Xie Xiang's daughter was killed by a concubine and didn't speak, what are you an outsider fooling in?" A military attache shouted, "According to what you said, could it be that the queen made a mistake, and you still have to convict the emperor?" ”

The war between the two sides was about to break out, arguing and arguing that the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller, as if they were eager to roll up their sleeves and fight directly.

Long Tingyu looked at it coldly, his big hands were on the wide cuffs, and his knotted fingertips fell on the dragon chair, tapping rhythmically, with coldness in his eyes, but his face was at a loss and panic, as if he was afraid that everyone would fight, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Stop, what are you doing in the main hall?" Seeing that the two parties were arguing and about to make a move, General Jin stopped a red-faced facial feature and looked at Xie Ziheng with a smile, "Xie Xiang's feelings of losing his daughter-in-law, we can all understand it, in this case, it is better to put Xie Wanying to death and let Su Guifei succeed, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”

The civil official stopped doing it again, "Why let Su Guifei succeed?" She is just a righteous daughter adopted by the General's Mansion, and in terms of noble status, she should naturally be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xie Wanying really deserves death, it is better for Xie Xiang to send another concubine into the palace, so as to stabilize the harem. ”

General Jin turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the daughters of the Xie family are making trouble in the palace one or two, and the daughter taught by Xie Xiang is afraid that it will be difficult to be the queen, since Xie Xiang insists on sending his daughter into the palace, it is better to canonize an imperial concubine and hone it slowly." Concubine Su has been in the palace for many years, and it is very suitable to succeed her. ”

As soon as he said this, both sides knelt down and begged the emperor to be the master, only the leading Yiwen and Yiwu stood upright, their eyes firmly grasped the young emperor, and they did not let go.

The hundred officials now unified their opinions, "Please ask the emperor to decree that Xie Wanying be executed and canonized as the new queen." ”

Long Tingyu held his chin with one hand, half crooked on the dragon chair, as if he was sleepy, and seemed to be frightened, he didn't say a word for a long time, but he was hesitating in his heart, Xie Wanying only promised to tell herself what happened that day yesterday, if Xie Wanying is dead now, I am afraid that I will not know what the queen mother said before she died, and the truth of the Lingwu case in this life.

But if you don't make an order, I'm afraid you won't be able to do well today.

It's better to delay this matter for two days first, and then find a way to trick Xie Wanying into telling the truth about the Lingwu case, and then kill Xie Wanying to calm the argument as the two powerful ministers of civil and military affairs intended......

At this moment, the drums outside the main hall sounded.

Since the beginning of the Ningguo state, in order to allow people who are not qualified to enter the main hall but really have grievances to have the opportunity to go directly to the holy hearing, the founding emperor of Ningguo set up a drum outside the main hall, and the person who beats the drum can go to the palace to state as long as there are major grievances, regardless of status.

Since the civil strife in Ningning, this drum is like an ornament, it has not sounded once for many years, and today's sound has shocked the whole hall, and they have looked at the door of the main hall.

Long Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Bring in the person who beats the drum." ”

Not long after, the great eunuch Li Gonggong led Xie Wanying, who was wearing a phoenix robe but did not apply powder, into the hall, the woman was thin, the phoenix robe was a little empty, a green silk was draped over her shoulders, her face was pale, she was haggard, but her eyes were calm and firm, facing the eyes of hundreds of officials, she was not stunned at all, Shi Shiran knelt down in the hall, bowed deeply to the general and Xie Xiang, and her head was knocking.

The hall was silent for a moment, and suddenly exploded with a bang.

"What is she doing here? Demonstration or weakness? ”

"Wearing a phoenix robe is a demonstration, kowtowing to Xiangye and the general, and showing weakness, what is Xie Wanying going to do?"

"Although Xiangye and the general are usually not polite to the emperor in private...... But since ancient times, where is the reason for the queen to kneel in public for the ministers? If this is spread out, won't it be a mess of humility? ”

For a while, everyone was talking, and their faces were very exciting.

General Jin and Xie Xiang remained unmoved, very calm, and said in unison, "What is the queen doing?" ”

"Kneel down and salute." Xie Wanying raised her eyes, put her little hands on her lower abdomen, the etiquette was in place, and said loudly, "The general and Xie are high-powered, and every time they enter the palace to discuss matters, the emperor and queen have to pay homage to the two, this palace thinks, since the two of them can't wait to show their ambitions, it is better for the palace to pay homage to the two of them in front of the ministers today." ”

Long Tingyu sat up straight, her face was slightly gloomy, she looked at Xie Wanying directly, knelt down in public, and sarcastically mocked the ministers, which one was she making trouble? Are you really not afraid of death?

Who knows, Xie Wanying has even more exciting words, "I don't know which of you wants to be the supreme in the world, go ahead and replace the chess piece." ”

With a finger of his hand, he pointed directly at the young emperor above the main hall.

"Just now, everyone wants to put the palace to death on the grounds that the palace does not comply with the etiquette law, so now it seems that General Jin and Xie Xiang can only replace the emperor with the person who does not violate the etiquette law, and can keep the head of Xiang Shang and block the mouth of the world."

Although she was disrespectful, she was telling the truth, and for a while, Long Tingyu was stunned, her eyes became deep and condensed, and her gaze turned into substance, and she couldn't wait to see Xie Wanying's thoughts clearly.

What a trick to draw salary!

What a queen who 'treats others the way they do'!

Xie Wanying, sure enough, has a hand.

Hearing this, General Jin and Xie Xiang glanced at each other, gritted their teeth at the same time, and quickly knelt down, "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

The two of them are not fools, the reason why the two of them are only ministers and not emperors until now is the result of many forces in the world restraining each other, not to mention how many intertwined forces are surging in private above this hall, thousands of miles away, in the border land of the vassal king, those hard stubbles with military power are not easy to deal with.

In private, it is harmless for them to humiliate the royal family, but once they show it to the public, then the demonstration will change, and it will be a banner of rebellion to the whole world.

If there is no preparation, no one will dare to act rashly towards the throne, which is also the reason why Long Tingyu can still sit on the throne safely.

If you don't make a good posture at this moment, the world will attack it.

"Mother forgiveness." The two of them spoke in unison, they had never been so united, "The queen mother is invited quickly, the old minister is ashamed." ”

Long Tingyu had the expression of a dog, these two old things had never worshiped me, and now they actually worshiped Xie Wanying in public?

With the help of strength, this woman is quite slippery.

It seems that her value needs to be revalued.

Xie Wanying ignored the emperor's slightly resentful eyes, snorted coldly, and said bluntly, "The drum was beaten by the palace, and today the palace will sue Xie Xiang in public for conniving at the concubine to bully the royal family. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was succumbed? A generation of power ministers, the power is monstrous, only the general can compete with it, even the emperor does not dare to dictate to Xie Xiangyi, where does this concubine queen come from to say this?

But Xie Xiang and his party looked at Xie Xiang, who was still kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, and they all shut up and didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would accidentally cause trouble for Xiangye and slap his old man's face again.

After all, the word 'etiquette' was first proposed by them, and now refuting Xie Wanying is not revealing their own shortcomings?

Xie Ziheng raised his eyes and stared at Xie Wanying coldly, "The queen's mother is slashing sister, for my father's move today, it is also for the sake of the whole ancestor's etiquette." ”

"Why didn't Xiang Xie ask what Sister Bengong had done? Why don't you ask why dozens of guards in Weiyang Palace were beheaded all over the house? Xie Wanying straightened her back, "They committed a crime, despised the emperor, and challenged the authority of the royal family, Xie Xiang, the general, the two of them think that this palace is the queen, isn't it wrong?" This palace thinks that this is called the righteous destruction of relatives, guarding the prime minister's house, and letting those who have broken their mouths slander the prime minister's house without sacredness, intending to deceive and make trouble! ”

Xie Xiang's chest was thrust, "You! ”

Is this still the cowardly and incompetent concubine?

Why didn't he even know her?

General Jin laughed, "What the queen said is that the mother of the queen killed her relatives for the sake of the royal family's face, so she naturally deserves a praise, Xie Xiang is old, it is inevitable that he will not distinguish between right and wrong, and he will favor his daughter-in-law, so don't be angry." ”

Although the beheaded guards in Weiyang Palace also have his eyeliner, but don't worry about it, the most important thing is to be able to hit Xie Ziheng right now, and it is appropriate to watch their father and daughter eat dog.

Xie Ziheng gritted his teeth, "Niangniang forgives the sin, it is because the old minister has not found out the truth, he listens to and believes it, and wrongs Niangniang." After a pause, he said tightly, "From today onwards, there is no such person as Xie Lingyu in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old minister will divorce his mother and expel him from the house, hoping that the mother and the emperor will be magnanimous and forgive the old minister's sins." ”

Compared with the military attachΓ©'s single knife straight in, Xie Xiang's words are quite decent, his polite appearance looks very decent, and he can't find any mistakes, if the gaze under the tightly twisted eyebrows is not staring at Xie Wanying like ice and snow, it will be more convincing.

Xie Wanying looked at him directly, "It's good that Xie Xiang knows his mistakes." ”

General Jin didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and laughed unceremoniously, "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and being good is great." ”

"The housework of the Xie family, General Lao Jin doesn't say much." Xie Ziheng gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Xie Wanying, you can stop for me, have you made enough trouble?" ”

"My father almost took Bengong's life, can't Bengong fight back?" Xie Wanying sneered, her voice was low and a little hoarse, "Xie Xiang, how can there be such a truth in the world?" As your daughter, I have to keep a little wolf, don't I? It's all like Xie Lingyu is so stupid, how long can I live in this deep palace? ”

Xie Ziheng clenched his fists and looked at her lips in disbelief, completely unable to believe that this was what Xie Wanying could say.

Long Tingyu coughed and spoke appropriately, "Since Xie Xiang has already known his mistake, this matter is settled, Queen, you should also get up, the spring is cold, don't kneel." ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubines still have something to do." Xie Wanying couldn't afford it, but bowed deeply, "The concubine also wants to sue General Jin, the concubine was poisoned and assassinated in Weiyang Palace yesterday, and she died for nine lives, and now it has been found out that it was General Jin who instructed Su Guifei to poison the concubine." ”

General Kim jumped on his knees and almost rushed up from the ground, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Xie Ziheng was suppressed by his own daughter in front of his rival, he was originally angry, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly pressed his shoulders and continued to kneel, "General Jin, this is the queen's mother, what is your attitude?" Can't you make trouble with the offender? ”

Xie Wanying was not afraid at all, "General Jin, it's not that this palace slandered you, the abolished concubine Su Zili has signed and confessed to poisoning this palace." She took out a piece of paper from her arms and wondered, "I just don't know if this matter is framed by Su Zili, or is it really the meaning of the general?" ”

For a while, the civil officials hurriedly helped Xie Xiang convict General Jin, as if they had seen General Jin instruct Su Guifei to make mistakes.

Long Tingyu followed and stabbed, "Is there really such a thing?" General Kim, what do you explain? ”

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the old minister is wronged." General Jin hated it very much in his heart, but even Xie Ziheng was planted, and he didn't even care about his daughter-in-law, and in front of everyone's eyes, he had to give up Su Zili, the righteous daughter.

He kowtowed, "Niangniang, this matter has nothing to do with the old minister, it is all what Su Guifei meant." ”

Long Tingyu raised his voice and said, "Su Zili plotted to kill the queen, the crime deserves death, pass on my will, deprive her of the title of concubine, and give her death." ”

There was silence below, and there was no more noise.

Xie Wanying raised her eyes, "The emperor forgives the sin, it is better to hand over Concubine Su to the concubine for disposal." ”

The revenge of the original owner, she will avenge it with her own hands.

"Okay, just the queen." Long Tingyu was in a good mood, and his tone was a little relaxed, "Let's retreat." ”
