Chapter Twenty-Nine: Kill Xun Lao Er halfway
While Wei Qing was thinking wildly, the last battle of words in the Jinluan Palace had already kicked off violently......
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers should consult the Huaihua General Wei Tingzhong's goddaughters are not strict, blaspheme the grace of heaven, destroy the things given by the emperor, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and trick the children of the clan into buying them. Yesterday, I waited for the book to make a statement, but the Wei family actually demagogically instigated us and others to speak out about the children of the courtiers, interfered with the court, and tried in vain to make us withdraw the performance, which is really shameless. This crooked evil intention is obvious to all, and it will inevitably affect the court in the long run, and I ask Your Majesty not to indulge it. ”
The first righteous indignation was Qiu Jian, the daughter of his favorite second wife, Qiu Peixin, who was befriending Wei Yingyu. This Qiu Pei's heart is precious to his mother, and he is well-behaved and supple, and he can speak better than the children of other wives and concubines, so he likes Qiu Jian very much.
But Qiu Jian didn't want to go to school yesterday to join the Wei Mansion, this daughter who was used to being arrogant by himself came home and cried, made trouble and hanged himself because of this incident, and smashed his study to a pulp, a usually delicate and obedient girl turned into a market shrew because of an ice, so Qiu Jian even remembered his anger on Wei Tingzhong.
Xiao Huaiyuan sat upright on the gold-inlaid dragon chair in the Chengqian Palace, staring at Qiu Jian under the jade steps with a frown, and before he could speak, he saw the imperial history Song Sidao take a step towards the center of the main hall, and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, the general of the third rank in the Wei court, should be law-abiding and strict with himself, and do his duty to protect the territory of Tianjing, but now he has the emperor's grace and indulgence, and his crime is one; smuggling and selling things given by the emperor and blatantly ignoring the laws of the country, his second crime; If it is not dealt with strictly, I am afraid that some people will follow suit in the future, and the legacy will be endless. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal." ……
Of course, most of them were yesterday because of their beloved daughter's "unreasonable trouble" and made two big speeches and official imperial histories, but I didn't expect that there were one or two military attachés who were usually not on good terms with the Wei Ting, and they also fell into the ground, and participated in the Wei Tingzhong's usual mistreatment of soldiers and self-righteousness.
Wei Tingzhong looked at the two, one was Qin Fang, the infantry captain, and the other was Xue Dinghai, the general of the fourth rank of Zhongwu. These two people, usually in the school field, do not have a little yin and yang weirdness with themselves, especially that Qin Fang, relying on the eldest son of the same Taifu Xun Chongyan's eldest son Zhenguo General Xun Biao to have a little bit of in-law relationship, on weekdays, show off their might, conniving at their soldiers to linger in fireworks, eat wine and gamble money, and talk to him several times to no avail, in order to clean up military discipline, Wei Tingzhong stripped those soldiers who were out of discipline in front of him and punished them with a cane in public, but he didn't expect this guy to hold a grudge and take the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta.
As for Xue Dinghai, he doesn't have much contact with him on weekdays, and even nodding his head, Wei Tingzhong really doesn't know where he offended him.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, General Wei has been an official for many years, and has always been cautious in his words and deeds, even if there is a mistake this time, there must be some misunderstanding, and please don't listen to the villain's slander." Xu Boan, the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, saw that the situation in Wei Tingzhong above the court was becoming more and more unfavorable, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious, he had been friends with Wei Tingzhong for many years, so he naturally knew the character of Wei Tingzhong.
"That's right, General Wei has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and I think there are villains who are trying to take the opportunity to confuse the public and frame Zhongliang."
"The minister agrees."
One after another, officials who were either friendly with Wei Tingzhong or spoke out also stood up.
Although Xiao Huaiyuan, the emperor of Tianjing, was moved for a moment, he quickly returned to normal, and asked coldly: "Wei Tingzhong, do you have anything to say?" ”
Speech? There is really one in the Weiting Center, let's not talk about the ice cup first, just say that Qin put it in that reversal of right and wrong, and poured dirty water on him, he also has something to say. However, when he came, Ah Qing instructed him not to argue. Although he is still stuck in his throat now, and he still doesn't know what medicine is sold in Wei Qing's gourd, but the matter has come to this point, he has to go down hard, so he simply knelt on top of the golden palace with a "poof": "The minister has a negative grace, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”
"Your Majesty," suddenly, Fu Hongda, the left deputy capital, stood up: "Your Majesty, even though General Huaihua has the grace of heaven, he still hopes that His Majesty will open up in front of General Wei. ”
Fu Hongda? The Wei Ting Center couldn't help but wonder: This person is an old fox at all, and he has always been at odds with the Wei Mansion, why is he still asking for mercy for himself today?
But soon, Wei Tingzhong knew how naïve he was with this idea, "Thinking that the old general Wei was invincible in his bravery, one man was the key to ten thousand people, and one man and one horse saved the first emperor in danger, and the people of Tianjing all competed to praise each other, saying that as long as there was General Wei, there was nothing to be afraid of." Now although General Wei has returned to the countryside, he has also made great contributions to Tianjing, and please remember the old feelings. ”
Well, the old puppet is waiting here. Wei Tingzhong is really angry: this remark, this is clearly a plea for himself, but in fact it is a knife that is stabbing Minghuang, blaspheming the grace of heaven, and treating the soldiers harshly, this is a taboo of the emperor! Fu Hongda wants to take this opportunity to defend his family to death!
This pot, the Wei family must not carry it!
"Your Majesty Shengming," Wei Tingzhong smacked his head on the majestic Son of Heaven on the jade steps, and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, my Wei family has been loyal to Tianjing for generations, and now my father is old, and he doesn't care about the world, and he has lived in the land for a long time. I am willing to bear the responsibility for the crimes of the ministers, and I ask Your Majesty not to be angry with the minister's family. After speaking, Wei Tingzhong kowtowed again, and knelt down.
"Why did General Wei say this?" Fu Hongda put on a panicked look and said, "What did Fu Mou say that made General Wei so panicked?" ”
Fu Hongda, you old horseman! Wei Tingzhong couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse in his heart, at this time he was really annoyed that he couldn't hold his breath, and he also hated himself for listening to the wild words of his seven-year-old girl when his mind was hot. This Ah Qing, what else do you say that someone will plead for the Weiwei Mansion, but now there is a Fu Hongda, where can it come out of this guy's mouth to save people, this is simply a life talisman, okay? ! This time, I'm really going to kill the Wei Mansion!
Sure enough, Xiao Huaiyuan snorted with anger, and his words were also majestic and compelling: "Wei Tingzhong, you are in an important position, and you don't want to be down-to-earth and fulfill your duties, but you blaspheme the grace of heaven and ignore the law of the country, so you don't seek your position in your position, this Huaihua general, I think you are tired of it." After that, he waved his hand: "Come on, spread my will, and immediately send the Huaihua General Wei Tingzhong to Dali Temple, and dismiss him for investigation!" ”
Finished! Wei Tingzhong only felt a "boom" in his ears, and the sky was cracking! Finished! It's completely over!
Not only Wei Tingzhong, but Yun Qingfeng's heart also suddenly tightened: I can't wait! You have to save people first!
At this critical juncture, a simple voice suddenly came in from the door of the main hall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, slow down!" Minister, minister is coming! It was this sound that made everyone in the hall, including Xiao Huaiyuan, sweep their eyes over in unison.
I saw Xun Yi carrying a food box with a big belly, and writhing in while talking.
His appearance not only stunned Xiao Huaiyuan, but also Fu Hongda and Xun Chongyan: What is this fool doing?
Speaking of this Xun Yi, although he is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because he has no real talent and real learning, the emperor only looks at the face of the queen and the Xun family and gives him an empty title, and does not expect him to be able to participate in political affairs.
As for this Xun Lao Er, he also knows that he doesn't have that political mind, he doesn't care about those struggles for power, for him, there are only delicacies in this world to solve a thousand sorrows. However, although this delicacy is as numerous as the stars in the sky, it is not in one place, and it is really not enjoyable for him to taste it.
So, with this dedication, this noble son who spends money like water simply opened a restaurant by himself, and gathered chefs from all over the world to come to Kyoto, so that he could eat worms and feast on them. Xun Chongyan knew that this son was not successful, but he was really helpless, so he went with him over time.
So strictly speaking, this Xun Er is a simple foodie.
But today, what is this stupid son doing in the court at this time? Xun Chongyan suddenly felt a belly of fire in his heart, although he saw that Fu Hongda was secretly stabbing at Wei Tingzhong, but after all, this doesn't matter about the Xun family, although his niece Queen Niang fell in love with the eldest lady of the Wei family, but this Wei Tingzhong is as stubborn as his father, how can it be so easy to win him over, what is the use of such a stinky and hard stone?
Too late for Xun Chongyan to think about it, Xun Yi had already come to the front of the jade steps, puffed and knelt on the ground, put the food box in his hand up, a silver basin-like rich face smiled like a flower, and said Hanhan: "The minister played my majesty, the summer heat is getting stronger, the minister is worried about the holy dragon body, the food does not know the taste, the night can not sleep, it is depressed into a disease, fortunately the teacher pointed out, hard thinking and meditation finally got a refreshing wonderful delicacies, the minister does not dare to enjoy it without authorization, hereby with the main hall, please taste it!" ”
Yes? There was an uproar in the main hall: this Xun Lao Er actually chased the emperor to the Jinluan Palace to taste food? Is this guy brainless? Xun Chongyan's face was blue and white for a while, and it was not easy to attack in front of the Son of Heaven, so he could only suppress his anger and reprimand in a low voice: "How solemn is it in the main hall, you don't want to lose your body in front of Your Majesty!" ”
Xun Yi saw that his father was angry and wanted to skin himself and cramp, and looked innocent: "My father always said that as a courtier, you must always remember to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, although the son is not as brave as the eldest brother and is good at fighting to guard the border, but he does not dare to forget his duty as a courtier for a moment." As the saying goes, "the people take food as the sky", the son does not understand political affairs, nor does he love poetry, only to study the recipes with all his heart, and strive to ensure the health of my emperor dragon, long live long live! With that, he lowered his head and held the food box higher.
At this time, I don't know who muttered in a low voice: "Poof~ Such a grand ambition, it's a pity not to enter the imperial dining room?" The voice was not loud, but it was reaching Xun Chongyan's ears, and the old man Xun only felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't wait to jump up immediately and beat this grandiose decrepit son on the court to relieve his anger.
Xiao Huaiyuan was already angry, and suddenly saw Xun Yi twisting his fat body, exhaling and running in breathlessly, it was very ridiculous, and the anger in his heart was half gone, and listening to his simple and unpretentious words, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was rare to have such a simple and lovely person, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little good in my heart.
Xiao Huaiyuan glanced at Gui Xi, the big eunuch beside him, Gui Xi immediately slipped down the jade steps, took Xun Yi's food box and held it in front of Xiao Xuanyuan, and at the moment when he didn't have time to lift the lid, a cool and fragrant breath came to his face.
Xiao Huaiyuan took a look, only to see that the food box was a rare colorful ice crystal glazed cup, the glass cup actually contained a handful of fluffy and shiny white snow, this white snowflake cast into a small peak, the top of the peak, there was a thumb-sized carved bright yellow dragon head, the golden cinnamon honey sauce from the back of the dragon's neck all the way to the foot of the "snow mountain", it was like a golden dragon entrenched in the snow peak, the soul is overwhelming, proud of the world!
