Chapter 363: Embarrassed
Shen Yi had already guessed that the Cao County Guild would use the topic to play and work with his precious daughter to deduct the charge on Zhong Ling's head, but when he heard someone criticize Zhong Ling, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Seeing Shen Yichi's face change suddenly, Cao Xiangong was suddenly both frightened and excited, and the fear was naturally worried that Long Yan would be angry, and excited...... If Shen Yichi is provoked by the king of a country in order to shield a woman, it will not be a bad handle.
Shen Yichi naturally knew what Cao Xiangong wanted to see, but he just wouldn't let him get his wish, only to see him slowly let go of his fist.
"Duke Cao is also an old minister of the two dynasties, the rules in the palace probably don't need me to remind me too much, what is the crime of slandering the queen, do you want me to ask Gonggong Hong to come over and read the palace rules to Lord Cao?"
Hearing this, Cao County's nervousness was suddenly suppressed, and he hurriedly leaned over to admit his mistake: "Your Majesty forgives me, the old minister has no intention of offending the queen's mother, but this matter is ...... In short, please also ask Your Majesty to investigate. ”
"I have already checked, this matter has nothing to do with the queen, and Concubine Min has confirmed that it is okay, and I ask Lord Cao not to talk about it again." Shen Yichi's response was concise, but how could Cao Xiangong easily believe this?
Sure enough, before Shen Yichi could tell the results of his verification, Cao Xiangong couldn't hide his dissatisfaction with him: "Your Majesty, isn't it deliberately shielding Niangniang, I amnesty Yun Guo is a big country, but I have always been fair in dealing with people, Your Majesty is so indistinguishable between public and private, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?" ”
Hehe, you heard it right, is this threatening to be the son of heaven?
Shen Yichi's face turned pale, but he still reminded him with good words: "I hope Lord Cao will be cautious." ”
Unexpectedly, instead of knowing how to restrain himself, the Duke of Cao County became even more arrogant, and even said disrespectfully: "If Your Majesty can't tolerate the orphans of the first emperor, and you are worried that someone will take away the throne that you have worked so hard to get, so you will unite with the queen mother to target the little girl like this, and the old minister will have to clean up the door on behalf of the first emperor today." ”
Emperor Dai? Why are you?
Hearing this, a trace of crimson gradually appeared in Shen Yichi's eyes: "What, is Cao Xiangong going to rebel?" ”
Although Cao Xiangong did not continue, he did not back down for half a step, and Shen Yichi immediately set his eyes on Hong Yushun.
Receiving Shen Yichi's signal, Hong Yushun hurriedly scolded Cao Xiangong: "Bold Cao Xiangong, slandering the queen mother first, disobeying Your Majesty last, why don't you admit your mistake quickly?"
"Wrong? What could I be wrong?" Cao Xiangong was so rampant that he simply didn't even call himself a "minister", and then scolded Shen Yichi: "You and other people with foreign surnames have wolf ambitions, plotting for me to pardon the Yun throne, in order to eradicate dissidents, intending to poison the royal bloodline, but my little daughter treats the first emperor with sincerity, but the first emperor has never opened his eyes to bless their mother and son in the spirit of the sky!" ”
Look, isn't the fox's tail just exposed? Shen Yichi immediately turned around: "Lord Cao has been busy with official business recently, and his mind is a little unclear, and he will not be punished if there is a reason for the incident, so Lord Cao will not have to come to the court these days, so let's recuperate at home." ”
Cao Xiangong was dumbfounded when he heard this, he was dismissed and investigated, he has been swallowing his anger in the palace for so many years, but he was arrested because of this matter?
"Shen Yichi, you deliberately provoked me!" Cao Xiangong seemed to have reacted to something, but Shen Yichi had already walked away, leaving him with only a reminder from Hong Yushun: "The Sprinkle family advises Lord Cao to be cautious, and calling His Majesty by his name is a crime of one degree." ”
After that, Hong Yushun hurriedly followed in the direction of Shen Yichi, although Cao Xiangong came to his senses, it was too late, stealing chickens and rice would not make a mistake, and he could only sit on the ground in despair.
"Your Majesty, you are the one who deliberately provoked the county prince of Cao." Hong Yushun asked casually.
Shen Yichi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "You can see it too?"
In fact, Shen Yichi's use of the law is not very clever, and even a little clever person can easily perceive it, but Cao County's justice was under the anger and was carried away by the position of power, which made the authorities confused, so that Shen Yichi took advantage of the loophole and easily achieved his goal.
Hong Yushun nodded: "It's just that the slave doesn't know the intention of His Majesty's move......"
It is said that Shen Yichi has only succeeded to the throne for a few days, and he has no grudges with the people in the court, if he wants to eradicate dissidents, he doesn't need to be so anxious, but in this way, Hong Yushun really can't imagine why he has to take such pains to target the Cao family, a wild and untamable wolf.
"Cao Xiangong is too shrewd, less than a few hours after the incident of Concubine Min's mother, I have just gained a foothold in Qinghui Palace, how can he receive the news so quickly when he is far away from the palace?"
According to Shen Yichi's statement, the only possibility is that Cao Xiangong has installed his own eyeliner in the harem, so that his suspicion must have been revealed.
"He'd wanted to do that for a long time." Shen Yichi paused for a while, and then asked Hong Yushun.
Hong Yushun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again: "Is Your Majesty talking about the first emperor?" ”
Shen Yichi nodded: "Hmm." "Bashan Academy
Speaking of Lu Chaoge, Hong Yushun, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be resentful: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the first emperor was repeatedly oppressed by the Cao family when he was in power, and even Concubine Min was hindered by the Cao family's power...... The first emperor wanted to get rid of this force early on, but the heavens didn't bless him, and he ......"
As he spoke, Hong Yushun burst into tears unconsciously, and Shen Yichi smiled indifferently: "In this way, this move can be regarded as his wish." ”
In fact, Shen Yichi didn't think so much when he provoked Cao County, but since the day he and Zhong Ling entered the lord of Yuyun, the Cao family has been in trouble everywhere.
Shen Yichi could tolerate all kinds of things before, but now Concubine Min has no reason to hate Zhong Ling, if this force is not curbed in time, I am afraid that Zhong Ling will not be able to live safely in the palace in the future.
But the big tree of the Cao family is intertwined, and its power has not been eradicated overnight, even if Lu Chaoge has exhausted all the organs during his lifetime, he has finally taken the first step.
The next day, the Empress Dowager rushed to the Qianqing Palace in the morning, and Shen Yichi probably guessed what was going on with her.
Cao Xiangong has always acted in a high-profile manner, presumably as soon as she left the Qianqing Palace yesterday, she went straight to the Empress Dowager to complain, otherwise she would not have come so quickly.
"Why is the Empress Dowager so interested today, and she specially got up so early in the morning to come to the Qianqing Palace to see me?" Shen Yichi deliberately quipped.
Where did the Empress Dowager have the leisure to joke with him at the moment, and then snorted coldly: "The mourning family is not as idle as Your Majesty." ”
"Leisure? I have a lot of opportunities, why has it become idle and idle here with the Empress Dowager? Shen Yichi laughed at himself.
"The mourning family doesn't dare to say that Your Majesty is not good, lest you be grounded in Ci'an Palace by Your Majesty like Cao Xiangong."
Sure enough, as Shen Yichi expected, the Empress Dowager came over this morning to hold grievances for Cao County, these two people really smell like each other, a nest of snakes and rats.
This kind of verbal war is really troublesome, Shen Yichi simply stopped playing any dumb riddles with the Empress Dowager, and asked directly: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager is for the affairs of Cao County." ”
"Yes, the Duke of Cao County is the old minister of my pardon Yun Dynasty, and he has done his best for me to pardon Yun, and his daughter Concubine Min is the only bloodline of the Lu family, so a minister with high achievements, what reason does Your Majesty have to suspend him, does Your Majesty want to kill me and pardon Yun for a hundred years?"
This is really funny, even Shen Yichi, who has never had a good face for the Empress Dowager, couldn't help laughing: "What the Empress Dowager means by this is that it is not a big country that has to pardon Yunyang, and the century-old foundation still depends on his small Cao County Gong?"
"You!" The Empress Dowager was speechless, and Shen Yichi continued: "Last night, Cao Xiangong visited the Qianqing Palace at night, and repeatedly said disobedient words, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, give him some time to calm down, do you want the Empress Dowager to come to defend him?" But it's strange to say, I'm curious, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Cao family ......"
Shen Yichi had something to say, and in one sentence she broke the collusion between the Empress Dowager and the traitor, her face suddenly turned pale, and her aggressive momentum instantly dissipated.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was speechless when asked by herself, Shen Yichi gave up: "Okay, it's not too early, it's time for me to go to the court, the Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself, Gonggong Hong!" ”
After that, before the Empress Dowager could react, Shen Yichi had already left in front of her with Hong Yushun swaggeringly.
Getting rid of the sight of the Empress Dowager, Shen Yichi's face gradually became gloomy, thinking that it was tricky to guard against these two groups of people inward and outward, but he didn't expect that there was still collusion between them, so it seems that he really has to be more cautious in the future.
Shen Yichi did not get any benefits here, and the Empress Dowager returned to Qinghui Palace.
Concubine Min was already waiting anxiously at the moment, as soon as she got the news last night, she rushed to Ci'an Palace to cry to the Empress Dowager for a night, she had to make her own decisions, the Empress Dowager couldn't help her with Liujia, and in desperation, she had to lick her face to find Shen Yichi.
After all, the child in Concubine Min's womb is still there for a day, and she still has use value for a day.
At this moment, as soon as she saw the Empress Dowager coming back, Concubine Min hurriedly walked over to her: "Queen Mother." ”
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at Concubine Min: "I've been in the palace for so long, why are you still so unruly." ”
Concubine Min realized that she was indeed a little anxious, so she took two steps back: "It's the son-in-law who is reckless, and the son-in-law sees the queen mother." ”
"Alright, alright, get up." After being stunned by Shen Yichi, the Empress Dowager was full of anger, if it weren't for her grand cause, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to this stupid woman who had not done enough and had more than enough failures.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face didn't seem to be good, Concubine Min restrained herself a little, and cautiously probed: "Queen Mother, the matter of the concubine's father ......"
