Chapter 353: Old treacherous and cunning
"Your Majesty, Master Wen has been concerned about the future of Da Xiao for so many years, there is no merit, there is also hard work, I beg you to give him a chance and forgive him for his confusion!" Chen Jingzhi followed and began to intercede for Wen Tianwen. Mobile
"If a person is not a sage, who is without fault? Chen Xiang is right, Wen Taishi has been concerned about the future of Daxiao for so many years, and there is no merit, but also hard work. ”
"Although Master Wen said a lot of rebellious things just now, it was mainly aimed at Your Majesty and me, and did not hurt others, Your Majesty, I am willing to learn from you, and this time, I also forgive Master Wen for being confused." Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to intercede for Wen Tianwen.
Mainly, Wen Tianwen had not been rude to her before.
And this time, although Wen Tianwen pointed the finger at her, the main purpose was to target the gender of the woman, not just to get along with her, it was also possible.
"Your Majesty, Chen Xiang and Princess Zhong Ling are both right, Princess Zhong Ling's learning from His Majesty's past is not to blame and to be lenient with others, which is admirable. Wechen also begs you to give him a chance and forgive him for his confusion! Wang Zhengrong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, Chen Xiang and Princess Zhong Ling ......"
Immediately afterwards, except for Xiao Zhenjia and Xiao Zhengzhen, all the court officials present pleaded for Wen Tianwen one after another.
Xiao Xuanliang was very satisfied.
Originally, he just wanted to scare Wen Tianwen and make him dare not do more, and he didn't really want to punish Wen Tianwen heavily.
After all, Wen Tianwen is his teacher, the so-called Buddha face without looking at the monk's face, not to mention that he himself is still Wen Tianwen's "Buddha face".
He glanced at everyone with warm eyes, and said loudly: "Okay, since Princess Zhong Ling, like me, is not guilty of the past to Master Wen, and Master Wen also realizes that he is too old to participate in politics anymore, then, as he wishes, from now on, I will remove him from his position as Taishi and let him go home to retire with peace of mind." ”
After speaking, he picked up the pen and yellow silk that Liu Deshun handed over at the right time, and began to draft the holy decree according to the words he had just said.
At this time, Chen Jingzhi glanced sideways at Wen Tianwen.
He found that Wen Tianwen had been hanging his head and did not look at Xiao Xuanliang, obviously very satisfied with Xiao Xuanliang's words, he immediately lowered his face, quietly bypassed Wen Tianwen, and stepped forward to whisper a few words to Liu Deshun.
Liu Deshun turned and whispered to Xiao Xuanliang again.
Xiao Xuanliang nodded.
After the decree was written, Liu Deshun began to read it in public.
Wen Tianwen was quite fortunate after listening to what Xiao Xuanliang said just now.
The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en.
Xiao Xuanliang had never lost his temper in front of him before, which does not mean that he has no temper.
He has still seen Xiao Xuanliang, the decisiveness and unsparing room when he impeached Wei Feng at the beginning.
Xiao Xuanliang used to list the charges against him based on Xiao Qiongzhi's words, which made him actually quite scared in his heart.
It's just that now, when he heard Liu Deshun read out the holy decree, there was an evaluation in it that "he is getting old, becoming more and more confused, and he doesn't argue about the importance of things", he was immediately confused.
In what Xiao Xuanliang said just now, there was no sentence of "becoming more and more confused, not arguing about the priority of things"!
If there is no such sentence, he is a normal dismissal.
And once there is this sentence, it means that he belongs to the blame and was dismissed and returned home.
At that time, the children and grandchildren of his family, whenever they see this decree, will be ashamed of him.
"I beg Your Majesty to retract the sentence 'Increasingly confused, not arguing about the importance of the matter'!" He shouted loudly at Xiao Xuanliang in panic, knocking his head to the "dong dong" sound.
After a while, there was blood on his head.
Xiao Xuanliang glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Tian asked, I called everyone over today to try the case of the Zhang Mansion and the people who conspired to murder Princess Zhong Ling. ”
"After you came over, you didn't ask the people of the Zhang Mansion to conspire to kill Princess Zhong Ling, you actually overheard my private conversation with Princess Zhong Ling, and used chicken feathers as an arrow, and repeatedly gathered people to cause trouble, if you don't become more and more confused, and don't argue about the importance of the matter, then you are committing chaos and attempting to rebel!"
"Humph! I remember that you have been concerned about the future of Da Xiao all these years, there is no merit, and there is also hard work, but you are relieved of your position as a teacher, which is already benevolent and righteous! If you say more, I will punish you for rebellion and rebellion!" ”
"Your Majesty......" Wen Tian asked in a panic.
He turned his head to look at Chen Jingzhi, Cui Shicheng and others, hoping that they would come forward and intercede for him.
However, this time, except for Chen Jingzhi, everyone else turned their heads and ignored him.
Because, everyone just saw the scene where Chen Jingzhi quietly stepped forward and talked to Liu Deshun.
Even with his toes, he can imagine that Xiao Xuanliang will add the sentence "becoming more and more confused, not arguing about the priority of things" in the holy decree, and Chen Jingzhi must have the credit.
Everyone thinks that Wen Tianwen is really confused.
After all, Wen Tianwen has been making trouble today, and he is targeting Xiao Qiongzhi.
And Xiao Qiongzhi is Chen Jingzhi's niece.
It's a pro-triangular direction.
Not to mention that Chen Jingzhi has always been famous for favoring his daughter, he is not a patriarchal person at all, he may not really support the throne of Da Xiao, the unwritten rule of passing on men but not women, take a step back and say, even if he will support it, he will not support it until Chen Lingfeng gives birth to a son.
Otherwise, he will be Xiao Qiongzhi's niece now, if the throne of Da Xiao is not passed on to Xiao Qiongzhi, then it will fall to others, won't he suffer a big loss?
"Chen Xiang......" Wen Tianwen could only pin his hopes on Chen Jingzhi in the end, looking at him with blank eyes.
Chen Jingzhi shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "Wen Tian asked, if Your Majesty came to us today to discuss whether to let Princess Zhong Ling inherit the throne, then it is completely understandable for us to express different opinions on this matter. ”
"But the fact is that Your Majesty specially came to us today to discuss the trial of the Zhang Mansion and the conspiracy to murder Princess Zhong Ling."
"In this case, even if you have a different opinion on His Majesty's plan to let Princess Zhong Ling inherit the throne, you should end up there, how can you keep pestering?"
"As far as matters are concerned, you are indeed becoming more and more confused, and you don't argue about the priority of the matter, I can't plead for you with a clear conscience, I'm sorry!"
"You, you, you—didn't you just talk about His Majesty's plan to let Princess Zhong Ling inherit the throne? Then you are becoming more and more confused, and you don't argue about the priority of things! Wen Tian asked angrily and said unconvinced.
"yes, I was almost ruined by you! Fortunately, later, when I heard Zhong Linggong's stern rebuttal to you, I finally came to my senses. Otherwise, I would have to take the blame now. Chen Jingzhi had a frightened look on his face.
Wen Tianwen was so angry that he pointed at Chen Jingzhi, and said "you, you, you" a few times, and then fainted directly.
Xiao Xuanliang had no choice but to ask the imperial doctor to wake Wen Tianwen up, and after he woke up, he pointed at him and said to Liu Deshun: "You arrange for someone to send Wen Tianwen back to his house immediately!" ”
"Yes." Liu Deshun immediately did so.
At this time, Wen Tianwen had already realized that he was at the point of being divorced from the public, but he did not try to intercede with anyone again, and cooperated with Liu Deshun very much.
Next, Xiao Xuanliang began to formally try the case of the Zhang Mansion and the people who conspired to kill Xiao Qiongzhi in public.
