(To be changed, don't look at it yet)
Wang Xing waited until dawn, and did not see Du Chengwei return to Jinchi. The early dynasty is imminent, and Wang Xing estimates that he will not be able to come back for a while. After telling the servant that he would come back in the afternoon, he left the golden pool.
Shi Yi'an was locked up in the prison, and Ji Yun and Taohu were locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. The prison is not allowed to visit, but he still has some way to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Wang Xing found his old friend Fang Yi and came to the prison of the Criminal Department. The cells were connected to each other, and everywhere they walked were dirty hands sticking out and scratching, and moaning and crying out. Of course, Wang Xing knew that most of the people locked up here were grass mustard dust who had nowhere to complain, and their fate was crushed by invisible rights, and they could not see light or blood, and they could not live well or die a dignified death. Unwilling is the last strength of their gritted teeth to live.
Ji Yun held the wooden fence excitedly, "How is Yi'an?" When are we going to get out? ”
"When are we going to get out?" Bei Yin Ke, who was sitting behind the curtain on the side of the Taiji Palace, asked Lan Ling, the mother's maid standing beside him.
Lan Ling stretched out the index finger of her right hand, and her lips opened lightly, making a "shh" shape. Bei Yin Ke twisted his little buttocks and reluctantly sat on the edge of the wide chair.
The morning dynasty presided over by Zhen Xiao outside the curtain has already begun for a quarter of an hour. The courtiers argued, but no one came forward to propose a solution to the dispute.
Zhen Xiao sat in the center and was silent, and Du Chengwei took the lead.
"In the opinion of the following officials, Shi Changgeng's case involves the imperial family, and it should still be handed over to the chief government for trial to show justice." Du Chengwei looked like he didn't care about himself, threw out this proposal, and waited to be refuted.
Gu Pei Kaisu does not agree with Li Mian's way of being an official, in his opinion, being an official is the same as being a man, you must first be upright and bright, and be open-minded, so as to be worthy of heaven and earth.
"Li Lianghe and the private arsonist fled to the capital, and he didn't ask what his heart was, just taking care of the unfavorable article, did Lord Li ever ask for the crime?" Gu Peikai challenged Li Mian.
"Li Lianghe was derelict in his duties, of course, he must be questioned according to the law. It's just that I heard that Lord Gu brought the prisoner to the prince last night, Li Lianghe's heart doesn't matter, Lord Gu, what kind of heart you have, but everyone knows. ”
"Li Sizheng's words are wrong," Jiang faked out, "how can he be convicted of a crime by himself." The lower officials were also in Jixian Fang last night, and Shi Yian, the son of Shi Changgeng, shouted grievances on the street, thanks to the presence of Lord Gu to stop it in time, so as not to make the people think that my court was incompetent and incompetent. ”
Li Mian was stunned and had nothing to say, in order to let the case enter Beijing, Li Lianghe did a perfunctory job and did not ask for a detailed investigation. Gu Jiang and the others are like mirrors, but there is no evidence, and no one can detain this crime to the Li father and son.
The Taiji Hall here is deliberating, and the North Yinsheng over there received the news and also entered the palace. King Ming bypassed the Taiji Hall and went straight to Ziwei Palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, he opened his throat and cried.
Bei Yinxin just got a dancer, singing every night, and sleeping sweetly in the morning. Suddenly disturbed by this, I was angry and annoyed, and I woke up from my dream.
"Uncle Huang, what are you doing?" Bei Yin was unclothed, sat on the edge of the bed, and raised his eyes to see King Ming kneeling on the ground and crying into tears.
"Wechen is already a person buried in the loess, and he has lived for a few years. The emperor might as well take the minister's life now, why bother to label the minister as a disaster to the country and the people. For a person like the minister, it hurts the royal dignity, and the minister can't excuse his sins under Jiuquan. Bei Yinsheng had a lot of tears and saliva, and the one who cried was sad.
"Uncle Huang, where is this?" Bei Yin looked at the old eunuch Chen Pu next to him, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Pu received a letter from the little eunuch of Kangtai Palace on the third watch, and sent someone out of the palace overnight to tell King Ming. But on the bright side, he still had to pretend not to know in front of Bei Yinxin.
"Back to the emperor, how can this old slave know?" Chen Pudui smiled, "I'll go to the Taiji Hall to have a look." ”
Chen Pu withdrew, got the emperor's order to go to the Taiji Palace, and the waist pole was naturally harder than usual, Chen Pu entered the side hall from the side door of the side corridor, and when he entered the door, he saw Bei Yin Ke sitting behind the curtain.
"Why are the Seven Princes here?" Chen Pu walked up to Lan Ling and asked in a low voice.
Lan Ling didn't say anything, and gently lifted her chin to indicate that it was the will of the outsider.
Chen Pu pulled down his face, flicked his sleeves, knocked his leg and stepped out.
"I wrote King Qi's poem," Jiang Pseudo stood in the center of the hall, and did not stop when he saw Chen Pu walking out from the side, "Presumably since the prince of Qi has done it, he is not afraid of the ridicule of the world." ”
Chen Pu arched his hand to Zhen Xiao and was about to speak, but Zhen Xiao waved his hand to signal him not to speak first.
"The king of Qi enclosed the land first, but he was rich and unkind, and the displaced people were on the edge of his fiefdom, and in order to avoid the grain requisition order, he wore rags and asked for food with the displaced people. Such a prince is the prince of our Dazhi! If it can't be severely punished by national law, then what kind of face does the court have to show people? What other faces do we and other officials have in the court? Gu Peikai said and took off the official hat on his head, knelt on his knees, and put the hat on the ground.
"Master Gu, what are you doing?" Zhen Xiao stood up, "Your Excellency doesn't have to be like this, the Queen Mother already has a will." ”
Zhen Xiao picked up the Empress Dowager's decree sitting on the desk, opened it, held it in his hand, and read it to everyone.
"The case of King Ming is very extensive, I am afraid that it cannot be detailed and true, the special crown prince Bei Yinhuai personally tried it, and the officials of the state government involved need to fully cooperate, if there is any obstruction and perfunctory, Prince Xu will handle it himself."
Zhen Xiao finished reading and handed it over to the eunuch of Chengzhi, who took it, walked out of the side hall, and went straight to the East Palace.
Zhen Xiao picked up another scroll on the case, opened it, and read it to everyone.
"The king of Qi is disrespectful, bullying the king, and insulting the country, and now orders Yulin Jun to personally escort him back to Beijing and hand it over to the three divisions for public trial, and no one is allowed to cover it up. The interrogation process and results must be made public to the people, and if there is any favoritism, it will be punished according to the same party and will not be tolerated. ”
Chen Pu returned to Ziwei Palace and told Bei Yinxin and King Ming everything he heard and saw in the side hall.
"Your Majesty, this is really going to be a courtier!" Bei Yinsheng slipped down from the stool, sat on the ground, and cried again.
"How so? Uncle Huang, hurry up. ”
Chen Pu hurriedly helped.
"Weichen can't get up, I'm afraid that there will really be nothing here."
"Oh, why is Uncle Huang so confused, since he is in charge of this matter, you should rest assured. Even if Huai'er really finds out something, isn't there still me? ”
"Don't you lie to Uncle Huang?" Bei Yinsheng wiped away his tears and stood up.
"Then what if the Queen Mother wants to kill me?"
"Then you push it to me, saying that I sent you to do it."
"I don't dare." Bei Yinsheng was so frightened that he immediately knelt down again.
"What would you not dare? If you are asked to say so, you have to say so, and if you don't say it, you will not obey the order! You are all afraid of the Queen Mother, is she the emperor? In the end, it is me, the emperor, who has the final say, or she is the queen mother. If I can't even figure this out, I won't be the emperor as soon as possible, and I'll follow you to open a kiln. ”
Bei Yinlun knew in his heart that Bei Yin's words must have been taught to say this, but no matter whether this person was Zhen Xiao or Taifu Taishi, it always said to his heart, even if this was the case, he couldn't help but give face to the court, and after thinking about it, not only did he not cost a grain of grain, but he could also use the imperial court to collect grain and ask the main merchants in the inland of the fief to pay grain and money. Thinking that the money and grain would enter his treasury in the end, Bei Yinlun was happy all of a sudden.
Here Bei Yin Lun is happy, but the King of Qi is in a hurry, King Ming is not in a hurry to wait to see what the others will do, only King Rui summoned the palace advisers to discuss how to rescue the left department.
Le Guang, Chen Siqi, and Fu Xiaotian sat on both sides of the coffee table, and Princess Rui Qu Qiang and the maid Lan Ling were making tea on the side.
"The imperial court must pay for the grain, but this is not enough"
"Does the prince think that Empress Zhen can let the prince complete the task this time?"
"It's one thing for Empress Zhen to let you go, but it's another thing for the prince to be able to do it."
"I heard that the return to power of Empress Zhen this time is the power of the prince."
"Regardless of personal grievances, to be able to stand up at this time, we used to underestimate him."
"Since the prince has such a heart, why don't we fulfill him."
"If the prince has a heart, the king can help him ascend to the throne."
"Even if the prince has a heart, he is afraid and powerless, the prince only holds a few old masters, and the power is still in the hands of Empress Zhen. If Empress Zhen is not removed, the world of this great rule will not be the Beiyin family. ”
"It's really pitiful to think about coming to this Zhen Hou," Qu Qiang said with a smile while pouring tea, "In the end, she is not protecting the world of the Beiyin family." ”
"Madame hasn't been back to Luoyang for a long time, Master Qu may be able to find out the details of the prince."
"In addition to handing over the grain to the imperial court, we also have to raise money for food to send to Tian Yuyin, the imperial court only said to let them go back, but how can they go back along the way, if it is really according to what the imperial court said, then before they go back, the people will die."
"In addition, it was arranged for Yuyan Palace to take in the displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing, and informed Tian Ke that all localities had to accept them at the same time. If you can save one, count it as one. ”
