Chapter 60: Pavilion Elder
Qiu Anren suddenly felt that it was a big mistake to recommend Leng Changqiu to Empress Dowager Lin two days ago.
Because it was not him who stood beside the little emperor He Xiao today, but Leng Changqiu, Qiu Anren lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and said in his heart, very good, I remember this child.
That Leng Changqiu stood beside He Xiao and sang loudly in style: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately answered impatiently: "The minister has the foundation."
This person is not very old, and he is probably the same age as Chen Hui, but he lacks a little bit of the old Chen of the Chen family. After he was allowed to speak, he said a lot like a series of fried beans: "The minister heard yesterday that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had a dispute in front of the Fusi Gate in Beizhen, and the swords and soldiers met each other. Jin Yiwei only had a 'dereliction of duty', and now he is so disregarding Tianwei and making such an incident in the capital, which is really ill-intentioned, and should be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. ”
Sure enough, the first to speak was the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is known for its three-inch incorruptible tongue. If you want to force people to death, then it is best to make a fuss about "in the Beijing Division, and use swords and soldiers" - to lead the topic to rebellion.
This is also the most dangerous part of Yu Jingning last night.
If there was no prior judgment in the Wenyuan Pavilion yesterday, his words would undoubtedly be murderous.
It's a pity that it's too late.
This person is called Liao Ke, and he is Tan Ze's subordinate. Tan Ze has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, of course he knows how to participate in the talent is just right, as soon as he heard Liao Ke's words, he felt bad, and hurriedly scolded loudly: "Ignorant child, don't stop talking, now that the people who made trouble yesterday are all in the court, you don't even know the whole picture of this matter, how dare you make judgments?" ”
After Tan Ze reprimanded, he didn't speak for either party, but just stood still with his eyes, nose, nose, mouth, mouth and heart - now that his two sons are implicated in prison, it is better for him to speak less.
Liao Ke was obviously still trapped in the pit that had charged Qiu Anren's group, and he was taught a lesson by his boss in vain, and he felt a sense of isolation and helplessness in his heart.
Chen Hui glanced at Liao Ke, stood up calmly, and said: "Yesterday in the Wenyuan Pavilion, we asked Yu Xiaoshizi, Gao Qianhu, and the people in the Jinyi Weidong Factory who were present. He paused, and the smile on his face was lost, "The country has a law, how can you speculate at will, listen to the words of the family, I don't know what the Metropolitan Procuratorate means today, whether I believe in our cabinet ministers, or I don't believe the emperor." ”
There are many parties in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and naturally they have their own ghosts, but at this time, they looked at each other unexpectedly, and they didn't know who said: "This is the words of Liao Ke alone, not the will of all my Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”
Chen Hui smiled at this time, and bowed to the little emperor He Xiao and the Empress Dowager Lin: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, now everyone in the palace thinks that they don't know what happened yesterday, and the ministers are willing to inform them on their behalf." ”
Empress Dowager Lin said: "Chen Aiqing said yes." "Even if she loves Qiu Anren no matter how much she encounters such a major right and wrong, it is impossible to ignore the ministers in the court and insist on protecting Qiu Anren, and want to protect Feng Quan, or Huang Huacheng. Even in order to make an appearance for the courtiers and the people, she may even punish Qiu Anren together.
Chen Hui faced the ministers and said loudly: "After yesterday's court meeting, the edict was arraigned for the profiteers Diao Min who resold opium, and the leader of them confessed that 'all the acts on weekdays are covered by the eunuchs of the city and the inspectors, and the way to facilitate them is that they cannot be inspected by the brocade guards'. The so-called offerings are all opium. Chen Hui shook a few pieces of paper in his hand, "This is the confession of the Diao people, the signatures and paintings are all here, if you want to check the authenticity, you can see it." ”
Said and handed over and inspected by the front row people, all of them are correct.
Chen Hui continued: "This year, the eunuch who inspected the city department was Feng Quan, so naturally he could not escape the blame, and Jin Yiwei immediately arrested him according to the usual practice, but he was hindered by Dongchang in every way. He looked at Gao Miao, who was standing aside, and asked loudly, "The leader is Gao Miao, Gao Qianhu, Beizhen Fusi, Gao Qianhu, don't you just say it, is there a lie?" Is it exaggerated? ”
Gao Miao arched his hand and said: "What Chen Ge Lao said is true. ”
Chen Hui replied to Gao Miao's salute, and then said: "Yu Xiaoshizi is familiar with Gao Qianhu, and it coincides with the exchange of values. Both of them are not as old as the weak crown, and they are naturally young and angry, and Dongchang has always been disrespectful, and he rashly hurt people, so there was a conflict. He looked at Yu Jingning again and asked again, "Yu Xiaoshizi, is there any truth in what the minister said?" ”
"Not really." Yu Jingning replied, "Jingning handled this matter improperly, acted willfully and disrespectfully, and voluntarily accepted the punishment." ”
At this time, there was a little restlessness in the crowd standing next, and the smart ones could hear that the "disrespectful elders" he said referred to Qiu Anren. However, even if Qiu Anren is also the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the Dongchang Governor, it is only a eunuch. No matter how young Yu Jingning is, he is also the prince of Daheng. Which family is he Qiu Anren considered Yu Jingning?
What a trick to retreat into advance!
Chen Hui smiled at Yu Jingning very vaguely, and continued: "After that, Qiu Anren heard the news and rushed to the scene, because of the difference in the handling of the troublemakers in front of the Fusi Gate in Beizhen, so there was a quarrel. Qiu Anren, is the official right? ”
Qiu Anren smiled on his face: "What Elder Chen Ge said is correct. ”
"Then I'll ask you a question today." When Chen Hui said this, he didn't end the question, but added another sentence, "But you want to stop the Beizhen Fusi from arresting Feng Quan?" ”
"The slave maid took leave the day before yesterday, saying that she would recuperate for a few days, and there is a record in the palace. The slave maid also found out when Jinyiwei had a conflict with our children in the East Factory. Qiu Anren bent the corners of his mouth and continued to smile at Chen Hui, "The matter of serving in the palace was handed over to Leng Changqiu, and the affairs of the East Factory were handed over to Huang Huacheng. ”
Huang Huacheng is a fool who has more than enough success and more than failure, Qiu Anren had already made up his mind to treat him as an outcast when he met in the small court of Wenyuan Pavilion last night. lost Huang Huacheng, with the Queen Mother's affection for herself, maybe she could pick it up and put it down gently, he was not so benevolent and wanted to leave Huang Huacheng to block himself.
Chen Hui bowed to the head and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, I don't know where Huang Huacheng is now, but do you want to come up and interrogate him?" ”
This kind of thing is suspected of being mistaken in the early dynasty, but Chen Hui, a cabinet minister, brought up this matter, and some people couldn't help but smell something different.
