"Ladies and gentlemen, please."

On the third day, the ministers, who were still waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, were finally invited in to meet with Yuanzhi.

When they saw Motoji's slightly immature young face, several old adults almost couldn't hold back their tears.

Yuan Zhi glanced down, "I heard that you have been waiting for me outside the hall for a long time, and I have been feeling a little unwell for the past two days. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something important to do......"

"Hey! There is no hurry. ”

Yuanzhi clapped his hands, and saw a huge painting scroll brought up by Xiao Kiko and others, and Yuanzhi looked quite interested, "Ladies and gentlemen, come and see, I have obtained a pair of excellent characters, which is said to have been written by Huang Gongwang, a famous artist of the previous dynasty." It's just that whether it's real or fake, I can't say, let's take a look with me. ”

What, read the words?

They waited outside the Qianqing Palace for three days, but it wasn't for the sake of reading!

"Your Majesty, I'll wait ......"

"Nokiko, unfold!"

The huge scroll was slowly pulled apart, stretching longer and longer, almost covering the entire front hall.

Seven or eight little eunuchs were carried left and right in a row, so as not to let the scroll fall to the ground, and what was presented was a strong font on the yellowish paper, and the ministers were stunned for a while.

They almost forgot what they were here for.

"How? Ladies and gentlemen, look at it, does this look like a real thing? ”

The famous masterpiece was full of attraction to the Chinese courtiers of the court, and the courtiers were reluctant to do so, and they also went to observe this painting half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

"Like the real handwriting, Huang Gongwang's writing power is like a thousand jun, and this word does have his strength......"

Motoji watched from the sidelines, but smiled silently, and soon heard someone retort, "I don't think so." This is clearly a high-quality fake. How can there be this pair in Huang Gongwang's surviving works? I've never heard of it. ”

"How? Look at this word, how could this be written if it weren't for Huang Gongwang himself? ”

It is said that literati are inferior to each other, and in the face of this kind of problem, the literati and ministers also insist on their own opinions, and they all think that they are right, and others are fallacious.

Motoji watched it interestingly from the sidelines.

Xiao Jizi also secretly lowered her head and snickered, saying in her heart that these adults are usually serious, and there are times when they argue with each other like this.

The most interesting thing is that whenever they dispute to a bottleneck, Yuan Zhi will interject a sentence at the right time, "Oh, look, is this seal Huang Gongwang's seal?" ”

A group of adults leaned their heads over, "Really, you see, there is clearly a seal, can't it be proved to be genuine?" ”

"That's not necessarily, seals can be faked!"

The dispute that had just been settled was renewed.

After arguing for a long time, the ministers slowly came back to their senses and thought about what the purpose of their coming was today.

Someone secretly glanced at the others, signaling that it was time for everyone to put forward their opinions to the emperor and not to argue over this painting any longer.

"Your Majesty, it seems that whether this painting is genuine or a fake, I can't discuss the results for a while. Let's talk about the Northwest Disaster Relief ......"

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly there was a report from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Su is here from the northwest to send a message, please visit the emperor!" ”

Su Zhiming?

The ministers were taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the person sent by the emperor to investigate had not returned, but Su Zhiming's letter came back first.

Does he know that the old county incident has happened?

Yuanzhi was also very excited in his heart, if it was a little later, I was afraid that he would not be able to stop these adults, and this letter came at the right time.

He was about to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly said, "Has the Queen Mother seen this letter?" ”

"No, it was sent to the Qianqing Palace first. Does the emperor want to send it to Kunning Palace first for the Queen Mother to see? ”

Before Yuanzhi could speak, the ministers immediately stopped, "No! This letter should be read by the emperor first! Your Majesty, the matter of the old county is very important, please open it immediately and see what Su Zhiming said in the letter, so that you can determine what he is responsible for! ”

It's ridiculous to say that these ministers only cared about convicting Su Zhiming, and no one mentioned how to remedy the old county from beginning to end.

The lives of those victims were worthless in their eyes.

Yuanzhi bit his lip and took the letter back to the inner hall, and the ministers did not dare to follow, so they could only probe their brains outside.

He opened the letter, and was still a little apprehensive when he read it at first, but after that, his face gradually became excited, and he turned to great joy, "Okay, what Su Zhiming!" It is worthy of being the first emperor's light Tanhualang! ”

The ministers outside heard his voice and were more and more surprised.

What did Su Zhiming say in the letter, it was not a crime, but it made Yuanzhi greatly appreciated?

There must be something wrong here!

"Your Majesty, what did Lord Xiao Su say in his letter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Motoji stuffed the letter back into the envelope, "Xiao Kiko, send this letter to the queen mother in Kunning Palace, so that the queen mother can see it." ”

"Yes!"

Those ministers watched as Xiao Kiko took the letter away, and the emperor didn't even mean to show them a look, so they could only ask Yuanji, the only one who had read the letter.

"Your Majesty, what is written in this letter?"

Motoji was in a good mood, and asked them with a smile, "Even if he clearly explains in his letter and proves his innocence, will you believe it?" ”

The ministers were speechless for a moment when he asked.

Motoji smiled, "Well, I didn't intend to convince you. The people sent by me to investigate the truth should come back in two days to report the news, you don't believe Su Zhiming, you should always believe my people. When they return, the truth will be revealed. ”

Originally, they planned to force Yuan Zhi to deal with Su Zhiming, but they didn't expect this sudden letter to disrupt their position.

The ministers had no choice but to go out of the palace honestly and tell Su Qing everything that happened in the palace.

Su Qing frowned when he heard this.

"It can't be."

He obviously laid out a seamless plan, which was implemented by Gou Hui, and Su Zhiming should be buried in the dark and not know anything.

Even if the people sent by the emperor arrived, he would know it, but at this time, the dead and injured people in the old county should be irreparable.

What exactly was written in Su Zhiming's letter that made Yuanzhi so happy?

It was hard for him to guess.

The northwest is too far away from the capital, and he has not received any news yet, so now it depends on whether his people will send back the news first, or the people sent by Yuanzhi will come back first.

The ministers were a little puzzled when they heard this, "Old Master Su, what do you say is impossible?" ”

Su Qing was in a trance for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and showed his usual gentle smile, "It's nothing." What this official means is that there should be no problem with the news that came back from the old county before. It is a fact that the disaster relief matter in the old county went wrong, what can the emperor be happy about? ”

Of course, he would not tell the crowd that he had arranged this from beginning to end.

The ministers didn't doubt it when they heard this, "Yes, but now only the Queen Mother and the Emperor have read the letter, and we are helpless......"
