Chapter 611: Bringing the King into the Urn
He didn't sleep long before he heard a noise outside.
Not long after stumbling, I heard Gonggong Jiang knock on the door and whispered, "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." ”
Ye Hanji frowned and paused, got up lightly, put on his clothes and went outside, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”
"I didn't elaborate, I just said that there was an urgent matter to report immediately. Now Prime Minister Wei is waiting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace. Gonggong Jiang said respectfully, leading the way in front.
Ye Hanji swept behind him, retracted the soft light in his eyes, and then stepped forward.
I probably have a number in my mind.
It is Prime Minister Wei who has done enough superficial work to do things, and he is extremely particular about doing things.
For official business, I will inevitably wait in the imperial study.
If it is said that it is outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it is mostly for private matters.
In connection with everything that happened today, it is not difficult to guess what Prime Minister Wei Cheng is talking about.
Most of it is to exonerate Wei Yiyi.
This is also expected, it is the night cold division deliberately left a hand of cards to lure you into the urn.
After all, although it is said to be entering the cold palace, the night cold division's transmission order is grounded, which is not a cold palace in the real sense, but only restricts freedom.
It's not the kind of cold palace where the living conditions are extremely poor.
In order to prevent Wei Yiyi from falling directly into the kind of cold palace life that is inhumane, Prime Minister Wei Cheng naturally wants to go out.
At the entrance of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Prime Minister Wei Cheng stood straight with a cane, his long white beard fluttering in the wind, and he felt a little haggard.
When he saw Ye Hansi, he immediately showed excitement, but he still saluted patiently: "The old minister sees the emperor." ”
Although there was no fluctuation in his heart, Ye Hanji still raised his hand slightly: "The prime minister doesn't have to be polite. ”
Wei Chengxiang nodded, and was about to kneel behind Ye Han Si, out of etiquette, Ye Han Si helped him and waited for him to say.
He paused for a moment and spoke with difficulty: "Originally, the old minister also knew that there was no face to speak, but blood was really thicker than water, and the old minister begged the emperor to give Wei Zhaoyi some time so that she could prove her innocence." ”
Ye Hansi didn't speak, looked at Prime Minister Wei indifferently, and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Wei Cheng looked up and realized that this emperor was no longer the child he was in charge of before.
My heart was cold, and I finally said to my acquaintance: "The old minister is incompetent, so he asked for a three-day suspension." Within three days, he will inevitably give the emperor a reply to Wei Zhaoyi. ”
"Exactly." After Ye Hansi finished speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Wei coldly and spit out: "Prime Minister has an insightful pattern, I won't comment much." ”
Just said this and let him watch it.
Thinking that he is better than 10,000 people under one person, he hasn't been so aggrieved for a long time, and Prime Minister Wei's face is not good-looking.
But in the end, he had no choice but to retreat.
Watching Prime Minister Wei Cheng's back disappear into the night, Ye Hansi remembered a sentence: "If you walk too much at night, you will always bump into ghosts." ”
The corners of his mouth set off a cold arc, and Ye Hansi's eyes were deep and dark, as if he was watching the end of an era through the back of Prime Minister Wei Cheng.
Where there is a first compromise, there is a second.
The troubled times left to him by the emperor, the invisible net of ambition that was spread out, are finally about to disappear in the last dark night.
In fact, if Prime Minister Wei didn't protect Wei Yiyi, he might be able to break his arm to survive.
It's just that they have been used to the emperor for too long and proud for too long, thinking that as long as he bows his head, Ye Hansi will definitely give him face and condone their family's reckless behavior.
So I was reluctant to let go of Wei Yiyi's chess piece, this step was just the beginning, and the tip of the other iceberg was about to surface. Love to nibble on books
The drama of the previous powerful ministers is coming to an end.
After entering the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he wanted to turn around and go back to the Furong Hall to accompany Chu Yuxi, but Gonggong Jiang reminded him behind his back: "Your Majesty, tomorrow's court meeting, let's rest as soon as possible." ”
Only then did he notice that the night was too thick, and it was inconvenient to disturb Chu Yuxi's rest.
Then he turned around and went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and closed his eyes on this sleepless night.
Early the next morning, the night cold division went to the court early.
As soon as he went to the court, he received many civil officials who said that Prime Minister Wei was very important, and he couldn't just let him rest at home.
"The spring season is about to begin, so I have to let the prime minister help me a little", what "the passage to the Western Regions is about to open, and the details of the discussion with the envoys of the foreign domains still need to be finalized many times" and so on are relatively normal excuses.
Even more outrageous excuses, such as "there are sea monsters in the East China Sea, and the prime minister needs to decide how to determine the policy", is outrageous.
As soon as the words fell, the whole court was silent for a moment, and then someone couldn't help laughing.
This laugh seemed to poke everyone's laughter, and everyone laughed.
Ye Hansi looked at the disturbance below with an expressionless face, Yang Lifeng's eyes rolled, and he lowered his head and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, such small things are not good to do, and everything needs to be decided by the prime minister, how can you show your attainments and well-being for the people and Dayuan?" ”
"Yes, you have done everything well before, why is there a problem all of a sudden?" Yang Lifeng and others expressed their heartfelt intentions, and people from the faction followed behind.
The deceitful and cynical behavior of both sides is even ridiculous.
Ye Han Si watched this farce from above, and when Prime Minister Wei accepted so many people into his sphere of influence, he should have thought of such a day.
His foolish colleagues will thoroughly understand his purpose and background, and then expose his self-righteousness to the hostile political faction.
When this day came, but Prime Minister Wei Cheng happened to be not in the court, and the dragons were leaderless, his people were no match for Yang Lifeng's faction.
Not to mention that he already had a purpose, but now he fell directly into the pit and buried himself.
Faced with this seemingly ordinary but actually very contentious confrontation, Ye Hanji chose to watch from the sidelines.
After the next dynasty, before the Ye Han Division had time to enter the imperial study, news came from the harem that Yang Zhaoyi asked to see the saint.
Waving his hand to indicate that he understood, Ye Hansi looked at the strange face who came to report the news and went away, and said to Gonggong Jiang: "Check." ”
For no reason, the grounded concubine was able to summon someone to send him a message.
Yang Yuqiong's ability is not small.
After knowing this, Ye Hansi then followed and went to Yang Yuqiong's palace.
Sure enough, Yang Yuqiong lived up to her expectations and told Wei Yiyi's criminal process, and also found out the aunt of the Huanyi workshop and the garment room.
There are all human and material evidence, and Wei Yiyi's crime is a sure thing.
Ye Hansi asked people to be tried again in person, but the aunts were still innocent and cried.
Tell the truth, and no matter how much they mess up the logical order, their words explain every loophole.
The aunts remembered clearly that there was no other reason, it was really Chu Yuxi who was too favored by the emperor, and everyone attached great importance to it after hearing the news.
Unexpectedly, there was a problem in this link, and the garment room and the Huanyi workshop were about to break the bluestone slab in front of Ye Hansi.
"Your Majesty, what the old slave said is true! Please Emperor Mingjian! ”
"The old slave too!"
Yang Yuqiong said on the side: "Your Majesty, the concubine is also anxious about the illness of the noble concubine, if you find the person who poisoned her, maybe you can crack the poison in her." ”
That's why I sent someone to check it out privately.
Quite good at shirking responsibility.
