Fifty-eight: Confrontation
However, the king of Zhennan is now just a guerrilla general, and although he is in charge of the Beijing camp, he does not have much authority. How could he be the culprit who left and right Juntian?
Even the third master, a civil official, was keenly aware that something was wrong, and looked at the housekeeper with a serious expression and asked him, "What's going on?" Where were the people arrested? ”
I haven't heard of the news of the imperial court rectifying the Zhongjing camp.
If there is, Wei Yangqing is the left attendant of the military department, how can he not hear the slightest news?
The housekeeper kowtowed, and honestly said to the third master: "It's the person who came to arrest the criminal department, and our prince even took out the Danshu iron coupons, but it was useless......"
The third master's face became a little ugly.
Danshu iron coupons, is the Taizu rewarded from the dragon Gong to a small number of knighted people, the Great Zhou Dynasty to the present, a total of seventeen princes and marquis in the Taizu period have this thing.
Since then, the number of times that each generation of emperors has given out this thing is only a handful.
Therefore, count it, this Shengjing has this thing, and it has not been committed until now, this thing is still there, do the math, there are basically no more than ten households, and Zhennan Wangfu is one of them.
As soon as the Danshu iron coupon comes out, his life will definitely be saved.
After all, no emperor would dare to be unfilial and not take Taizu's things in his eyes.
But now that I have taken out all the Danshu iron coupons, it is useless.
What did King Zhennan do?
The third old man didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked people to go to the back to inform Mrs. Wei, and after hearing that Mrs. Wei asked the housekeeper of Zhennan Wangfu to go in, she personally led the steward of Zhennan Wangfu into the backyard together.
Mrs. Wei was picking up the stars in the tower and watched the lanterns hanging around when the girls unloaded the Yuan Festival, and when she got the news, she knew that something was wrong, and without hesitation for a moment, she asked Wei Rui, who had just come back, to invite the fifth master.
I was waiting for the third master and Steward Tian in the open hall on the first floor of the Star Picking Building, and when Steward Tian came in and was about to salute, she immediately gave up, and shook her head with a serious expression: "If there is anything to say, just say it, you don't have to do those false courtesies, time is tight, you choose those important things to say." ”
Although the relationship between the two families has warmed up recently, Steward Tian was still a little stunned when he came to the Wei family, and he was always worried that Mrs. Wei would not take care of her own affairs.
Now seeing Mrs. Wei's attitude, the big stone in his heart fell in an instant, choked up and shouted yes, and told Mrs. Wei the truth of the matter.
At the end, he said: "Our prince is really not the kind of person who has done it to meddle in the military field, urge the payment of taxes and take it for himself...... Those military households didn't have any trouble before, saying that they couldn't live anymore......"
He frowned, carefully considered the wording, and tried his best to tell Mrs. Wei and the third master what he knew and heard, so that they could distinguish by themselves: "But I don't know why, a few days ago, something suddenly began to happen, I heard that this time the accident was a guard in Baoding, where the military households have been forced to have no way out, and the dead sons of the family in the army, the old and the young, but the court said that there was no pension money...... In the past, these things didn't come out, but now they are all made up, and all the brains are pressed on our prince's head, and our prince is now full of mouths and can't tell......"
Old Lady Wei's brows became tighter and tighter, and her face was not good-looking.
Of course she knew how serious it was to get involved in something like this.
In addition to collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and plotting rebellion, the most taboo thing for Emperor Longqing was embezzlement of military salaries.
If you encounter this high-voltage line, you will not have a full beard and a full tail.
The third master also felt embarrassed, and wanted to interject but finally didn't say anything, just shook his head.
Steward Tian wiped her tears: "The old lady of the in-laws, our old princess was not in good health, when she heard about this, she was almost angry on the spot and was about to faint, so it was easy to stabilize, let us come here to ask you to meet your uncle and young lady......"
At this time, the Wei family is the most reliable in-law in Zhennan Wangfu.
Old Mrs. Wei snorted and told him not to worry: "I don't know what the hell is going on now, you tell the old princess not to panic in her heart first, we will not stand idly by." ”
They are all in-laws, and the fifth master is the brother-in-law of the king of Zhennan and a member of the military department, so it is difficult to say, if this matter is ignored, sooner or later it may burn to themselves.
Steward Tian kept kowtowing to Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei hurriedly excused herself, and when she heard the news that Wei An was coming, she hurriedly let Wei An in.
Wei An went to King Zheng's mansion, although Princess Zheng was only newly married, but she was already pregnant, although the days are still very shallow, but after all, Kong Fengfeng personally saw it, nine times out of ten it is really happy, Wei An often went over to talk to Princess Zheng.
As soon as she came back, she heard that someone from the Zhennan Mansion was coming, and she glanced at Wei Jue, thinking that there was something wrong with the old princess's body, so she hurried over.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Steward Tian kneeling and kowtowing.
Mrs. Wei stretched out her hand and called her to her side, glanced at Wei Jue again, and didn't care about asking Princess Zheng about it, Xi'an told her about King Zhennan being arrested by the Criminal Department, and frowned again: "Swallowing military fields, forcibly expropriating and expropriating, none of them are crimes that can be easily escaped, if they are really convicted, I am afraid that Danshu and iron coupons will not be able to save the life of the prince." ”
King Zhennan has always been a loyal man.
He is different from Princess Zhennan, he has never had any bad thoughts towards the old princess, even if he is tolerant and kind to her.
Guard also knows who he is, he has never been an unscrupulous person, and he will never take a risk to do such a thing.
And he is not the head of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, let alone the head of the Beijing Battalion, since the last incident in the Zhennan Palace, he is just in charge of the drills of the Beijing Battalion, and other things are not his turn at all.
Even if he wanted to have so much energy, he didn't have such great ability.
It is clear that someone deliberately wanted to rectify him and find him troublesome to convict him, so he was accused of embezzling military salaries, enriching his own pockets, and forcing his subordinates to death.
Wei An raised his eyebrows and asked Steward Tian, "Is there any news from the prince now?" ”
Steward Tian shook his head again and again: "No one is allowed to see it, we have been to the yamen of the criminal department many times, and we have also entrusted the relationship, but there are few people above who dare to intervene, they all shake their heads and don't know, we don't know anything now, so we panicked, and the old princess let us find it." ”
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, the old princess would not want to trouble the Wei family, and everyone here knew this.
