72: Imperial Status

Yin Xiaoxi whispered to Xu Yourong, "Now the salted fish is going to turn over as he wishes." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yourong shook his head, "That's not necessarily, I always feel that today's banquet is not simple." ”

"It's not good to think too much, you better raise the baby with peace of mind." She didn't see anything about what Xu Yourong said about the Hongmen banquet, and how the people present were wrong, but she just thought about it when Xu Yourong was pregnant.

"You're just too nervous."

You can't convince me, I can't convince you, so I have to watch the play quietly.

The fingers of the emperor's right hand tapped rhythmically on the table, with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Today's dance is really good, and it should be rewarded." ”

As soon as the emperor's words came to this, before he could say the reward, a Youling behind Shangguan Ruyi rushed to the front and knelt in front of the emperor, crying and saying, "Please be the master of the slaves and maids, please be the master of the slaves and maids, and please be the master of the slaves and maids." ”

Youling is petite, but as she speaks, her head is knocked to the ground, and her voice is so loud that she feels a headache on her forehead when she listens to it.

Everyone in the hall panicked, and Shangguan Ruyi's face was even pale, his smile froze, and he hurriedly handed over the eyes of the virtuous concubine on the side for help.

Concubine Xian angrily got up and shouted at Youling, "Who found this cheap maid, who dared to disturb the emperor, disturbed the imperial banquet, and dragged out the palace with a cane and fifty boards." ”

That board is wider than this Youling's body, and if these fifty boards are beaten, where can this small body stand it, it will definitely die.

Yin Xiaoxi was just about to get up and plead for her, but her right hand was grabbed by Xu Yourong and pulled back alive, "Let's take a look first." ”

Today's matter, no matter what Yin Xiaoxi said about her crankiness, Xu Yourong felt that it was not so simple.

Yin Xiaoxi looked at her with a determined look in her eyes and sat down in disbelief.

Sure enough, just when the guards stepped forward to drag You Ling out, Xu Yingcai, who was sitting diagonally opposite, got up and saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't look like a difficult and cunning person, if there is no great grievance, I don't dare to disturb the emperor in front of the emperor, it is better to listen to the grievances before making a decision." ”

Shangguan Ruyi's face was so anxious that he screwed into one place, squeezed his eyebrows at Concubine Xian, and almost stepped forward to pull You Ling away.

Concubine Xian retorted loudly, "If she has a grievance, she can report it to the local government, if everyone comes to the palace to disturb the emperor at every turn, then what does the emperor want you ministers to do, eat idle food?"

Is Xu Shilang old and confused? Or do you dare to be so bold because your daughter is favored in the palace? ”

Yin Xiaoxi glanced at Xu Yourong on the side when he heard this, and he was still a little worried, after all, it was his father who was accused, who would have thought that Xu Yourong was so calm that he watched the play, and he still had melon seeds in his hand......

What a big experience!

"You're not worried, aren't you angry?"

"What are you worried about, my father has spent much more time in this court than I have in the palace, he is not stupid, if it were not for the acquiescence of the emperor, how could he come forward to intercede for an unknown Youling. You see, didn't the emperor stop him? ”

Yin Xiaoxi turned his head to look at the emperor, and sure enough, he had a tacit attitude, is it really as Xu Yourong suspected, this family banquet was premeditated, and everything was just a bureau laid out by the emperor?

So what is this game for?

Xu Yingcai turned around and saluted Concubine Xian, and reprimanded, "If you deduce from Concubine Xian's logic, Concubine Xian is so anxious to drag this woman away for punishment, maybe Concubine Xian already knows what this woman's grievances are in her heart?" ”

Concubine Xian snorted coldly and turned around, "I think Xu Shilang is really old and confused, and this palace doesn't know this woman, what grievances does she have, how can this palace know, Xu Shilang doesn't want to talk nonsense and put a hat on the head of this palace." ”

"Since I don't know, why don't you listen to it and make a decision, and drag it out without even asking, and scold fifty, is the virtuous concubine too domineering."

"You!"

"Okay, Concubine Ai will sit down first, and Xu Shilang will also sit back, since this woman is wronged, it is better to listen to it first." Seeing that the two were arguing, they were about to quarrel, and the emperor finally stopped it.

Gonggong Mo on the side spoke out and said sharply to the kneeling Youling, "If there is any grievance, quickly speaking, if you delay the royal family banquet, you can't afford to pay for how many times you die." ”

Seeing this, the guards let go and threw Youling on the ground, but did not exit the hall, but only took a few steps back and waited for the dispatch.

You Ling knelt down and climbed to the steps under the emperor's table, and kowtowed several times in a row, and the blood was imprinted on the red carpet, making the already red carpet more eye-catching, and then she looked up and said, "The courtier's name is Cao Lan, and she is the daughter of Cao Zhanyue, the prefect of Jiangzhou. ”

"Jiangzhou, isn't it the most serious area of this flood?" Xu Yingcai echoed.

Everyone realized that the flood caused the entire Jiangnan area was seriously affected, and Jiangzhou was the most severe, most of the area was flooded, and the once most prosperous streets have now become a vast ocean.

I heard that the local prefect was greedy for ink and silver, and was dismissed by the governor.

Cao Lan continued, "That's right, because of the flood in Jiangzhou, the originally harmonious and happy family of the courtiers was also shattered, but all this was not caused by my father's greed for ink and silver, as the ministers said.

On the contrary, it was precisely because my father cared about the people that he was framed by traitors, imprisoned, and charged with embezzlement of ink. ”

"You mean, Governor Cao was framed?" Lin Er, who was sitting on the side and had never asked about the world, also opened his mouth.

Yin Xiaoxi didn't really feel that all this was a game until this moment, and it was just a matter of watching the play, and even the unscrupulous prince, who usually didn't listen to the outside of the bed, began to echo it, which was a bit unusual.

"Since it's a frame-up, tell the truth quickly, and I'll investigate it clearly." The emperor also became serious, sat up straight and said to Cao Lan, who was kneeling below.

"Originally, the disaster was not as serious as it is now, and the prefect's grain depot was originally enough to transition until the silver and grain for disaster relief arrived in Jiangzhou.

One night, a group of thieves broke into the prefect's grain depot, looted the grain, and set fire to burn the grain depot when leaving. Cao Lan said as she wiped the blood that had soaked down the tip of her nose on her forehead.

"Who is the governor in charge of Jiangzhou disaster relief?" The emperor asked in the direction of the ministers.

A middle-aged man with a bloated figure got up and stood up, "Your Majesty, it's the Jiangzhou area that the minister is responsible for. ”

This person is the household servant, Qing Wenxuan, and Shangguan Yu's proud protΓ©gΓ©, enjoying a very high reputation in the Shangguan faction.

"Is it true that this woman said that the thieves ransacked the prefect's grain depot?" The emperor still asked in a low voice, expressionless.

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't hear about it, maybe this woman saved her father and made it up." Qing Wenxuan lowered his head and replied.
