Chapter 442 Maintenance Chapter 443 The Sage Honesty Does Not Deceive Me
Hongluan's words are very clear, she said: If you don't believe that I haven't changed the edict, King Fu, if you have to say that I am ugly, then I can't say it; The most important thing is her last few words - not unspeakable. After she finished speaking, she looked at King Fu's eyes without blinking, not afraid or annoyed.
She is annoyed, very annoyed, but she is a prince and a prince, what can she do? No matter how angry you are, you can't put it on your face, can you? She looked at King Fu quietly, calm as an old well.
But King Fu's heart tightened, and he didn't know why he had a bad feeling in his heart, and his intuition told him that he should not continue at this time, otherwise it would be a little dangerous; His gaze didn't meet Hongluan's eyes, and he avoided them after a slight touch, and he didn't know why, anyway, he didn't dare to look at Hongluan's eyes.
Originally, it wasn't like this, he was all about teasing and even "bullying" Hongluan for fun, forcing Hongluan into a corner, watching her open her little pointed claws, watching her show her little fangs, so that he could sweep away all the unhappiness in his heart: a very interesting palace person. But today, he didn't say that he was teasing Hongluan, it was difficult to even look at her squarely, as if he owed Hongluan 180,000 taels of silver and couldn't afford to pay it back.
King Fu knew very well that he didn't owe Hongluan, but the awkward energy in his heart was true, which made him a little upset, and he felt that the edict and the big position were really annoying.
The battle for the throne is either not fought at the beginning, and it is not so easy for him to give up until now, think about his mother, think about his mother's family; Even if he still has brotherhood in his heart for the new emperor, he still hardened his heart: "You have something to say to everyone, it's best to tell the truth, so as not to trouble everyone, right?" ”
His last sentence was a mention and a hint, wanting Hongluan to follow his meaning, and of course he would be able to keep Hongluan safe when the time came; At that time, the whole world is his, and Hongluan's merits and demerits are enough as long as he says a word, who dares to say half a word? After he finished speaking, he gave Hongluan a rare look, and there was also a hint of obedience in her eyes.
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Second brother, Hongluan is just a palace person, can you know something?" There are some things, in fact, everyone knows it, why do you embarrass her as a palace person? The edict, I repeat, is true. He spoke out to relieve Hongluan, not because he didn't believe that Hongluan was afraid of her saying it, but because he didn't want her to face King Fu and offend King Fu.
King Fu is different from Prince An, what Prince An has done is obvious to all, of course he will not let Prince An go; Therefore, the confrontation between Hongluan and Prince An will not be in real danger, but King Fu will not succeed, and now he can't move King Fu because he is not sure and has no excuse.
If Hongluan and King Fu are allowed to confront each other, and King Fu loses his dignity in front of people because of Hongluan, then Hongluan will really be in danger; He couldn't allow such a thing to happen, and King Fu's provocation was for him, and of course he would take it.
King Fu bowed slightly: "Of course the younger brother does not dare to suspect that the edict is fake, but the emperor has not read the edict, and it is not taken out by the emperor himself, but by the people around the fourth brother, and the younger brother is just worried that someone will do something to the emperor's disadvantage; He looked up at the emperor: "The younger brother thinks that it is better to investigate this matter in detail, in case someone really changes the edict, it will be our unfilial piety to my father." ”
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, first for the sake of the emperor and then for filial piety, and the emperor couldn't help but suppress the matter; If the emperor still uses his prestige to suppress this matter, then there is no need for King Fu to say, everyone will suspect that the emperor has done something to the edict.
King Fu is King Fu, and as soon as he makes a move, the emperor can no longer avoid this matter, and can only investigate it. In fact, everyone knows that the longer the matter of the edict is investigated, the more beneficial it is to the emperor: there are too many opportunities for others to do things.
When the emperor heard this, he looked at King Hefu: "What the emperor said is reasonable, then let's ask; Isn't Chief Manager Qin here, Chief Manager Qin, if you explain the ins and outs clearly, maybe I can open up a net for you. His gaze was cold when it fell on Gonggong Qin's body, and two sentences in a row from the Grand Governor of Qin also made Gonggong Qin frightened.
He didn't know if the emperor would win, but Prince An had no chance, but he saw it very clearly: no matter who wins, there will be no benefit to him; And at this time, how to speak to really save his life, he is clear, but he doesn't dare to have such tricks because he doesn't know the result.
There was not much time, the emperor was not such a patient person, he only had to hesitate a little, and the emperor would immediately take advantage of him; He's just a eunuch, and it's a pity that no one will feel it if he kills him. After hearing the emperor's impatient snort, he knew that there was really only one way to go now.
He opened his mouth and told Prince An that he had instructed him to go to the imperial study to find the edict, and at the same time said that he had come twice, but the first time he was stopped by Hongluan, so Prince An couldn't wait any longer, although there was no internal response in the imperial study, he still made a desperate bet and used the death of the palace people around him to frame Hongluan, so that Gonggong Qin could have the opportunity to enter the imperial study.
After listening, King Fu said: "It turns out that I came here once; As for the edict, have you already changed it? ”
Gonggong Qin shook his head again and again and denied: "The small one has not had time to be replaced, and it was taken by someone; That edict is true, and the fake is still in the mezzanine of the little one's arms. He didn't look at Prince An when he spoke, and he was betraying the Lord at this time; He has been with Prince An for seven or eight years, saying that he has no feelings, it is false, and what he is doing now is to push Prince An to a dead end, and he is very ashamed in his heart.
King Fu nodded: "Your Majesty, what the fourth brother said is true, I have indeed heard about the edict; Fifth brother, what about you? ”
The fifth prince looked at the emperor, shook his head slightly, almost invisibly, and then nodded again: "It was the fourth brother who said it to me, it was just a joke, and I didn't take it to heart at all." ”
King Fu looked at the emperor: "There should be more than a few of us who know that my father has left an edict, and you have already known about it, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Hongluan finally understood that it was no coincidence that she had met King Fu and the Emperor several times inside and outside the imperial study; What they are looking for is a testament, she now has a new question, neither King Fu nor the emperor will tell anyone about it, so how did Prince An know?
The meaning of King Fu's question at this time is too obvious, which is equivalent to alluding to the possibility that the emperor may do something; After he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Hongluan intentionally or unintentionally, he did this on purpose, of course, to let the ministers understand how the emperor was doing.
Hongluan didn't expect things to come full circle and turn back to herself, she stared at King Fu and asked, "The prince really has to ask the slave to speak?" ”
Chapter 443: The Sage Doesn't Deceive Me
King Fu turned his head to look at Hongluan, but in the moment when he collided with Hongluan's eyes, he looked elsewhere again: "If what the eunuch surnamed Qin said is true, then the truth of the edict will have to be asked to the people in the imperial study; It's not just you, but the rest of the study is also going to be interrogated. Of course, as His Royal Highness said, you have come to the imperial study to do it in the past two days? ”
Hongluan was so angry that she had a toothache, she didn't know that King Fu was nervous today, so there was really no other way to think of hanging this crooked neck tree and biting her as a small palace person? Because it may not be, Hongluan is extremely angry.
"The prince really wants the slave to come ......" When Hongluan opened his mouth to speak, the emperor waved his hand gently: "It's not that the old people in the imperial study are all gone; The palace people surnamed Zhou passed her in. ”
After the people of the Zhou Palace came in and knelt down and kowtowed, they looked at Hongluan and said in a low voice: "The slave maid asked Lord Zhengxin to bring a few patterns over a few days ago, and Lord Zhengxin really had to send them to the slave maid; Because the patterns are not one drawn, the adults sometimes come and walk around, and they also want to get along with the slaves and maids after getting acquainted with each other, so they bring the patterns to the slaves and maids; Tonight, the slave and maid made an appointment......"
King Fu interrupted her: "Did you enter the palace at the age of five, and your mother died last year, or did you bury your mother with silver taels given to you by the emperor who was the crown prince at the time?" Your mother has been sick in bed for a year, and if it weren't for the prince's kindness, she wouldn't have survived for a month. When he said this, he suddenly changed the subject: "Hongluan Zhengxin, I have a good personal relationship with you." ”
Hongluan rushed up angrily when she heard this, although she understood that the people of Zhou Gongren would help her again and again, but she couldn't watch King Fu drag people in one by one; And she really endured enough, and asked herself that she would be respectful to King Fu since she entered the palace, but she didn't expect her deference to be exchanged for today's results.
Since King Fu and the four princes don't want to let her go, what else is she polite? Then let the horse come, if you want her to die, you have to see if King Fu's means are enough.
Hongluan pulled the clothes of the Zhou palace people violently, preventing her from continuing to speak and speaking by herself: "Lord Wang, don't you just want the slave maid to speak, then the slave and maid will say it." If the edict is false, the prince should be the clearest person, if the slave and maid do it, what is not the prince's order? The prince won't be a noble person who forgets things, doesn't remember? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Clay people also have an earthy nature, and rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention Hongluan, whose temperament is not very good? If it weren't for the fact that the status of the royal person was high, she couldn't hold her head up, and it would be impossible for her to endure it until now; She said this and stared at King Fu: "Lord Wang, do you still want the slave to continue?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
"Bold"
"Capital crime" Some scholars were shocked when they heard it, and they shouted at Hongluan. From this, it can also be seen that King Fu's power in the court is really not ordinary.
Hongluan turned his head and sneered: "The adults are anxious, the prince hasn't said it yet, and the emperor hasn't ordered it, you are really a little out of character when you are loud and quiet; Of course, adults know more about etiquette than me, a small palace maid, and I really don't need to remind adults as a palace maid. ”
The Shangshu were scolded for being a bloody dog, but they couldn't reprimand Hongluan first, they had to bow to the emperor and ask for forgiveness, of course, they were extremely angry with Hongluan; But he didn't want her life, and Shangshu, who was able to get to where he is today, if he didn't even have this bit of open-mindedness, he really lived a huge age in vain.
King Fu stroked his palm gently: "Good, good is really good." He praised Hongluan with three good words: "Courageous, worthy of the three words of a strange woman; He stood up and bowed to the emperor: "The younger brother has an invitation, can you give the girl to the younger brother to serve the pen and ink?" He actually asked the emperor for Hongluan at this time.
Hongluan was also taken aback by his words: "Lord Wang, you have to let me say it, and now if you want the life of the slave, you just have to say it." "She really dared to speak, and frightened everyone in the palace; In fact, she herself pinched a handful of sweat, and gambled on the virtuous word of King Fu, thinking that King Fu would not be serious with her in front of the emperor and ministers.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said at this time: "Don't you want your life?" The prince is also something you can slander casually? "No mistakes, no skipping words. Everyone can hear that Hongluan is wronging King Fu, no one has ever acted so boldly and recklessly.
The emperor looked at Hongluan and did not make a sound, did not reprimand Hongluan, but did not let the scholars stop; In fact, as far as the identities of Shangshu and Hongluan are concerned, what he did is obvious favoritism, and it is easy to be criticized.
Hongluan looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and sneered: "Didn't the prince also rely on a few words from His Royal Highness to determine that the edict was fake, thinking that the slave maid had done something?" She is bold and not seeking death, so if King Fu thinks that the emperor has done something to the edict, she will not say it clearly: "Then now the slave maid is right, and the words of the Fourth Highness are reasonable and well-founded, palace maid, I really don't understand how you conclude Lord Shangshu?" Could it be that you do the same thing in the yamen? ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stammered when asked, and was criticized by Hongluan for acting unfairly in the yamen, so he could only be angry in his heart but unable to tell; He said hatefully: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, the saint is honest and does not deceive me, and the saint is honest and does not deceive me." ”
Hongluan turned his head: "At this time, what is said is such a big thing as the edict, how can you judge the truth or falsehood of what you say by your identity?" Since the four highnesses' unfounded and unfounded guesses are believed by anyone, then no one believes the words of the slave and maid? "No mistakes, no skipping words. She looked at Prince An and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Such a judgment has really lost the hearts of the people in the world." ”
An old man got up slightly: "Well said, well said, she is really a virtuous woman." Tonight, except for the Qin thieves making trouble, it is nothing more than just a lie, and it is a big bad luck to speculate without evidence; Matters related to the former emperor and the imperial court, how can they make a big move just by suspicion? The emperor is sage, and the edict is of course true. ”
The three elders bowed to the ground together: "Of course the edict is true." Immediately, the criminal department and other Shangshu knelt down: "Of course, the edict is true." "Where did they think that there would be palace people so bold, otherwise King Fu's words would really be difficult to deal with.
King Fu looked at the pavilion elders and the kneeling Shangshu, and then looked at Hongluan and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." He got up and bent down at the emperor: "The younger brother thinks too much, and he thinks too much, and he really shouldn't say speculation without evidence; At the moment, of course, the matter of the first emperor should be the most important, and it is not too late to discuss other matters later. ”
He didn't finish his sentence, leaving one thing to say: We'll talk about it later. If he really mentions it in the future, there will be absolutely real evidence, leaving people speechless - that is really too hard to deal with.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hongluan again, his eyes flashing as if he was annoyed; But Hongluan glared back at him very reasonably: But you let me say it, who is to blame.
