Chapter 373: What Qianfu Refers To
Zhao Gao took a step closer to me and said to me, "Master Zhang, if you make it convenient, Prince Hu Su will definitely remember your kindness." β
I still said, I'm really embarrassed, Zhao Gonggong, please go back.
Zhao Gao's face became a little difficult to look at, as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions.
But at this moment, the man who had been silent and was wearing a black cloak finally spoke: "Lord Zhang, can't you really let Prince Ben take a horse?" β
He stood up and lifted his black cloak, and I saw the appearance of the prince.
It's really surprising that the prince actually came in person.
The prince said to me: "Lord Zhang, if you let this prince go, this prince will not compete with you for the position of the Son of Heaven." β
When Zhao Gao heard the prince say this, he seemed to be anxious, knelt down and said, "Please think twice about the prince and take back this sentence." β
Prince Hu Su seemed to be unable to restrain his emotions, and continued to speak: "Zhang Yan, it is really this prince begging you. Just let me go. β
When I saw Prince Hu Su's appearance, I was still a little uncomfortable, and I was about to cry when I said it.
Zhao Gao was cheered by the prince, so he didn't dare to speak.
He kept grinding me here, and in the end I was a little overwhelmed, so I relented and said, "I'll think about it for the night." β
When Prince Hu Su heard me say this, he hurriedly thanked me, and then called Zhao Gao to leave, saying that he would not disturb me to rest, I looked at the backs of the two, and these two people seemed to be really panicked, and they rushed to the doctor, and they actually played me.
However, when the two men left, they did not take ten chests of gold with them.
I sat in the parlor for a while, and after a moment I called the butler and whispered a few words in the butler's ear.
The butler asked me, "My lord, when will you do it?" β
I said to the butler, "Of course I'll do it now." β
The housekeeper listened to my order, and did not dare to delay, I stretched myself and went back to the room to sleep, the next morning, someone in the palace informed me to go to the court, when I left Zhang's house, I also asked the housekeeper a word: "Is the matter done?" β
The housekeeper replied to me, "That's it."
I rode in a carriage to the palace, and on the way I met all the adults, probably they all heard some rumors, and when they saw those smiling at me, they didn't forget to say hello to me. I must have forgotten how I was on the side of the prince in the first place.
The driver was on the road when there was a sudden braking and I asked, "What's wrong?" β
The coachman was the Mishi who blocked our way.
I opened the curtain and poked my head out, and I saw the coachman of Lord Yushi walking towards me, and said to me respectfully, "Lord Zhang, our master is invited." β
I got out of my carriage and got into the carriage of Lord Yushi, Lord Yushi leaned on his carriage as if he hadn't woken up, closed his eyes and recuperated, Lord Yushi opened his mouth and said to me, "Lord Zhang, did you see the prince last night?" β
I hummed and didn't deny it. Then, without waiting for him to ask, he told the general story of the incident.
Lord Yushi's complexion suddenly turned blue after hearing this: "Lord Zhang, you are really confused, you took his money, they will definitely join you today." β
I said to Mishi-sama, "Probably not. β
"Won't? My Lord Zhang, why are you so naΓ―ve. β
As he was talking, the coachman outside the door shouted, "It's here, sir." β
After we got off the car, Lord Yushi looked anxious, but he didn't dare to say more when he got off the carriage, at this time everyone was talking about it, today is the first day of the Son of Heaven's return to the court, and everyone naturally attaches great importance to it.
When I arrived in the main hall, almost all of them buried their heads and did not dare to look up, but I glanced at it and saw the Queen Mother sitting behind the curtain. But the dragon chair was still empty. My master hasn't come yet.
It suddenly occurred to me that my master was still in a state of soul, and it was still one thing whether he could come to the court or not.
I was still a little worried about my master, and at this moment, I saw the gaze of the crown prince Hu Su fall on me. I could also see a smile on the corner of his mouth, and today can be said to be a very critical day.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw Yuan Zhen wearing a black dragon robe walk out.
And Yuan Zhen who came out was obviously not in a state of soul, but had a physical body, which surprised me very much. After Yuan Zhen came out, all the ministers knelt down, and Yuan Zhen stood above and looked down at everyone below.
This is the momentum of the real king, and these kneeling people don't even dare to breathe loudly.
A few seconds later, Yuan Zhen spoke: "Get up." Ladies and gentlemen. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All the ministers stood up, Yuan Zhen looked down, glanced at it a few times, and then said, "Queen Mother, I am here today, should you avoid it." β
The minister's eyes all moved to the Queen Mother.
Before the Queen Mother could speak, Lord Yushi stood up and said, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to recuse herself." β
Mishi was the first, followed by the second, and then the third.
The Queen Mother may also feel that she can't bear it, so she snorted lightly and left from the court. Yuan Zhen then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long time. β
When these words fell, all the people knelt down and spoke, "Welcome Your Majesty back." β
The voice was uniform, as if it had been discussed in advance, and Yuan Zhen continued: "Do you have something to play?" β
Lord Yushi quickly stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play." β
"Exactly."
Lord Yushi opened his mouth and said: "The old minister wants to sue the prince for embezzlement of disaster relief food funds for the floods in Moshu City, which caused hundreds of thousands of innocent people to be displaced and died unexpectedly. β
I didn't expect that Lord Yushi would attack the prince so quickly, and the eyes of the entire court were looking towards Lord Yushi, but Lord Yushi's gaze did not dodge, and it looked iron-clad.
But at this time, someone stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister was supposed to play." β
"Exactly."
"The minister wants to sue Lord Zhang Yan Zhang for embezzlement of disaster relief food."
Prince Hu Su still looked at me with a sneer, as if I was dead.
Above the court, there was no shortage of officials watching the excitement, and they were all talking. Zhao Gao also said above, quiet, quiet.
The officials who had quarreled below became quiet again, and Yuan Zhen suddenly asked, "Do you have any evidence?" β
Before Lord Goshi could speak, the man said, "Yes." β
"Oh? What evidence? Yuan Zhen asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already had conclusive news that Lord Zhang's mansion has hidden the gold of this ink-greedy mansion, and Your Majesty can send someone to investigate it now."
"Okay, come on, go to Lord Zhang's mansion and have a look."
I was very close to Lord Goshi, and I heard Lord Goshi sigh, and I guess Lord Goshi thought to himself, hating iron does not make steel, and mud can't support the wall. Yuan Zhen also opened his mouth and asked me, "Master Zhang, don't you have anything to defend?" β
I didn't hesitate, I stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, these ten boxes of environment were given to me by the prince last night." β
As soon as I finished speaking, Prince Hu Su stood up and said, "Master Zhang, there must be evidence when you speak." β
I said that of course I had evidence, and then I briefly said the matter, that is, probably the prince knew that I had evidence of their crimes, so he and Zhao Gao came to me overnight to intercede.
It's just that as I spoke, my lords, I looked like I was watching a joke, and at the same time my eyes became indifferent.
In officialdom, if you are not careful, if you are caught, you will be stepped on to death, and I am like this at this time. There is a good saying that the wall is pushed down, and this is probably the case for me at this time.
Yuan Zhen asked Zhao Gao and said, "Can Gonggong Zhao have such a thing?" β
Zhao Gao simply pushed the matter away, and said: "Back to the emperor, our family is just a eunuch, and I don't understand what Lord Zhang is saying." β
This sentence instantly pushed me into the abyss.
The prince immediately came up to make up for it, and said: "Everyone present knows what the relationship between me and Lord Zhang is, my lords, do you think I will beg Lord Zhang to let this prince go?" Does this prince need to beg Lord Zhang? β
"Definitely not, who doesn't know that Zhang Yan's rival is the prince, and he has always regarded the prince as a thorn in his side."
"Yes! Master Zhang is really good at telling jokes, but it's not a dog jumping over the wall and biting people indiscriminately. β
I looked at the person who was speaking, and I said to him, "Lord Cao, this official can remember you." β
