Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Golden Palace Fights!
Before the official could shout, Ruan Qingyan was already looking at him with angry eyes-
But Qiu Yulan is faster than him!
The crisp and melodious voice of the half-grown girl is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which is refreshing to listen to, but the intensity of the wording is even more intense than that of this official: "Qiu's?!" My seal as the county lord has not been cut off, and I am still the county lord from the first grade! The father-in-law in front of the queen's mother still called me 'Lord Ningyi', you dare to call me by my surname - where are you from the dignity of the six-rank official?! Is this a trick to scare me when I'm young?! β
Without waiting for the official to speak, Qiu Yulan's voice was high, and he shouted angrily, "As for whether I am worthy of being here, I came to the palace today to be edicted!" It is also approved by the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother! What do you mean, do you think it's inappropriate to make a holy judgment?! As an official of the imperial court, he dared to be the head of the court and collide with the holy will! Is there still His Majesty in his eyes! And there is no national unity! Is there still a king?! It's a bastard! Not worthy of being a son of man and a minister!! β
When she asked this sentence, it can be said that she is like a rainbow! The face of the six-rank official turned pale and he almost stepped back!
Qiu Lulan caught a flaw, of course the queen party couldn't let go of this first-mover advantage, and when the ranks of the current officials brushed and brushed a full three green robes to expand the results-
"The courtier Cai Anshi impeached Dr. Taixue Han Shan, disrespecting the county lord of the Xihe King lineage who was named by Emperor Gaozong, and insulting the county lord's surname in public, instead of calling him by title! This is clearly disrespectful to Emperor Gaozong, disrespectful to the imperial court, and disrespectful to the current Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Empress! β
"The official in the palace of the imperial palace has impeached Dr. Han Shan, a doctor of Taixue, and the emperor has spoken without a word and despises the king!"
"The palace servant Shi Wenqiang impeached Dr. Han Shan, a doctor of Taixue, without verification, slandered the lord of the first grade, which can be described as madness and untruthful!"
The Queen Party is so powerful, and the Queen Mother Party is certainly not to be outdone!
"Cai Anshi, Shangguan Jiu, Wen Qiang, you don't want to mess around and divert the topic! Even though Han Shan has had it, it's just a slip of the tongue under excitement! What I want to discuss today is that the county lord of Ningyi is guilty of talking about the king of Xihe-"This queen mother is wearing a light crimson small flower official robe, a gold belt of ten rings, and a silver fish bag, and he is a five-grade official, he is holding a jade wat with an excited expression, and the beard on his chin is curled up one by one, "Dare to ask the county lord, the king of Xihe is Uncle Ling, and his filial piety is not filial, how can you, the junior, discuss?!" β
Qiu Yulan said coldly: "When did I say that my uncle is not filial?!" β
"As we all knowβ"
"Know?!" Qiu Yulan interrupted sharply, "On the first day of the first month, I entered the Beique Hall to meet the queen's mother, and when the mother inquired, I saw that I did not call my uncle's biological mother a grandmother, and I reprimanded!" How can I deceive the Queen? Naturally, I have to tell the reasonβis it because I want me to admit the crime of disrespecting my grandmother so that I can defend my uncle?! Although I am young and don't read much, I also know the Heaven and Earth Monarch! Before you are in front of your relatives, the queen mother is naturally more important than your uncle - or are you reading poetry and books but forgetting such a simple truth?! β
These fifth-grade officials are not like the sixth-grade officials who will be defeated in a battle, and when they heard this, they said hesitantly: "What a master of heaven and earth!" Even if the county lord is young, this sharp mouth is not as good as many adult women! Why bother to mention your age again and again?! Isn't there a suspicion of relying on small sales! β
Then his voice sank, "Since the county lord said the words of 'Heaven and Earth Monarch', I think he has read a few days of books!" The official should ask for advice - in the "Analects", 'the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and he is in it', have you ever read it?! It doesn't matter if you haven't read it, the elder of the lowly and young in the Da Rui Law does not need to be responsible; The head of the lord is humble and inferior, and he does not have to be punished for a capital crime - this law, how can the county lord answer this official?! β
Not only the autumn dragging, but the queen party is all solemn!
If it is said that Mrs. Lu was officially expelled from the palace by Concubine Xihe, it was the biggest fatal wound of Qiu Mengmin's faction; So now what these five-rank officials are questioning is also the biggest flaw in Qiu Yulan's battle!
Kiss and hide!
This world is not the ancient of Qiu Yulan's previous life, but the history is very similar, even the celebrities of the dynasties are similar, the four books and five classics, allusions and legends, and the ancient times of the previous life are basically no different!
Now let's not talk about the history of this world, let's talk about the current predicament of Qiu Yulan - the so-called relatives hide each other's guilt, that is, relatives are guilty of hiding each other, don't take responsibility!
In the ancient times and in the present world of Qiu Yulan's previous life, this is the principle of the criminal law, and the principle has reached the heart of the people.
In ancient times, filial piety ruled the world, so it was not a major crime of rebellion or rebellion, and the family committed a crime, and relatives, especially the elders, could rest assured that they would harbor! Even the government encourages harboring!
On the other hand, if you choose to kill your relatives with righteousness, it will be a tragedy.
It's not just relatives who will poke you through the backbone β Qiu Tuolan doesn't care about that; The government will also think that you are not filial and unkind, and even betrayed your relatives - are you still human?
Not to mention that the King of Xihe that Qiu Yulan is betraying now is her uncle and an elder!
In the eyes of many people, this kind of behavior is less egregious than patricide......
"My lord just said that the three servants of the imperial history are messing around and diverting the topic, and now you are not stealing the beams and changing the pillars and setting a trap?!" Fortunately, Qiu Yulan did not mess with the end of the world in vain, no matter how to say it, he also intrigued in an extremely harsh environment, and as soon as he paused, he sneered again, eyebrows and eyes, "My lord asked me with Da Rui Law, it is nothing more than to confirm the crime of not obeying relatives and hiding each other!" But, it's the same thing?! β
She raised her head, her peach blossom eyes were full of energy, her gaze was like a sharp sword stabbing at the five-grade official, and she shouted, "Dare to ask my lord, if I was in my position at that time, if I wanted to mention my uncle's biological mother, how should I call it?!" Do you have to call it Lu's?! β
The fifth-rank official frowned-Seeing this, among the civil officials who were dressed in purple, an old man who was over the age of sixtieth made a look, and not far from the fifth-grade official, a fourth-rank official who was also in scarlet clothes, but deep scarlet, immediately came out to support: "Why should the county lord be embarrassed?!" The Lu family has been enshrined in the Xihe Royal Mansion for many years, and it has never been known! But after the county lord entered the palace, the news of King Xihe's disrespect for his mother immediately came out! The key to this is clear to those with a discerning eye! β
Qiu Yulan asked lightly: "According to what the adults said, I remembered that two days ago, my foreign pharmacy was smashed. At that time, when the shopkeeper left the pharmacy and went to the general's mansion for help, the pharmacy was fine! But when I arrived at the pharmacy, I found that the pharmacy had been smashed, and His Royal Highness King Zhou was in the shop - in this case, it must have been smashed by His Royal Highness King Zhou?! After all, His Royal Highness King Zhou had never been to the pharmacy before, and he went to the pharmacy once and it was destroyed. β
Chu Weizhou is not in the court today, but even if he is there, it is estimated that he will not be able to prevent a burst of ridicule from the queen party, and a few people even cast undisguised approving glances at Qiu Yulan.
And the Queen Mother's side couldn't laugh - the old man who had made his eyes frown just now and coughed, and a few positions behind him, a purple-robed man with a golden jade bag and a thirteenth sword came out with an ugly face, and said coldly: "Lord Ningyi, please be careful!" What kind of identity is His Royal Highness King Zhou, how can the county lord be allowed to give examples at will, damage His Royal Highness's reputation, and even more disrespectful to the royal family! β
"Your Excellency is right!" Qiu Yulan was as kind as a stream, and immediately saluted Danqi, "The courtiers retorted too hastily, accidentally offended His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, and asked the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother to remember that the courtiers are young and ignorant, and forgive the courtiers!" β
The three of the palace didn't want to go into battle in person for the time being, so the queen mother and the emperor were silent, and Empress Jiang nodded, which was considered to be exposed-it was not that Empress Dowager Gu generously let her pass easily, but because Han Shan was also caught with a bigger handle before, and because of the beginning of the argument, his disposal was rushed to the side first, and if he stared at Qiu Yulan's smaller offense, Han Shan's matter would definitely be turned over!
This is a mess.
Then Qiu Yulan straightened up, looked at the fourth-grade official, and said in an unkind tone: "This adult is so stubborn!" β
The four-rank official was stunned, but Shangguan Jiu, after all, he was the palace servant, and he was responsible for making a small report in the last court, so he reacted first - he didn't say a word and said a little in one fell swoop, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "The minister Shangguan has long impeached Yang Tao, the servant of the Ministry of Officials!" Without evidence, he vainly speculated about the county lord of the Xihe King who was enshrined by Emperor Gaozong! This is a move that ignores the holy order of Emperor Gaozong, has no court, and has no royal family! I beg the Holy Inspector to give a heavy punishment! Otherwise, how can it show the majesty of the court and the dignity of the royal family?! Why do you respect Emperor Gaozong?! β
Qiu Yulan listened to Shangguan Jiu point out the names of these four officials, and his eyes rolled, and he glanced at the person seriously-surnamed Yang, it seems that he is a member of Princess Yang's clan?
I remember that the Yang family was originally a neutral party......
I don't know if he fell to the Queen Mother because Princess Yang was abused by himself?
When Yang Tao heard this, he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and saluted to the Danqi to ask for guilt - this time it was the Empress Dowager Gu who nodded and revealed the matter.
It seems that the two have a draw, and no one has suffered a loss and returned to the starting line.
But Yang Tao came out with a purple-robed man to help out, so that Qiu Yulan could ask for guilt - according to the rules of Da Rui's official uniform, only those above the third grade are eligible to serve purple; Four-grade and five-grade service Zhu; Six to nine grades of service green; The foreign officials and the concubines are white.
That is to say, from today's court meeting to the present, the Queen Mother's side has dispatched one for each of the six or five grades, one for the third grade or more, and even an old man above the third grade, although he is not listed, but is secretly directing......
But on the other hand, the Queen's Party - except for the three six-rank servants who formed a team at the beginning to brush up their sense of existence and reported their names louder than the object of impeachment, even one who was qualified to wear Zhu did not end up!
In recent years, the second queen has been evenly matched, and this is not possible!
The one who caused this scene was Qiu Lulan, the thirteen-year-old county lord of Ningyi!
After Yang Tao straightened up, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at Qiu Yulan again, and there was no longer the initial ignorance, contempt and banter!
Cardamom's old little county lord stood there neither humble nor arrogant, dressed in plain clothes, less than Ruan Qingyan's shoulder height-
Behind her were a few servants who had knelt down until now, probably because they were still trembling when they knelt in fear when they saw Tianyan for the first time;
There was only a little gentleman in a green shirt beside her, who was not a few years older than her, and even if he was willing to break his bones for her, his ability was limited;
Her life experience is already known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: she lost her father in Zhou and her mother last year, and she is currently careless. After falling out with Qiu Mengmin's family, the only elder she could rely on was her maternal grandfather, who no longer knew her......
But at this moment, no one can feel that she is lonely and pitiful, but there is a beauty of independence in the world.
Like the orchid that grows on the cliff, silently rooted in the stone, struggling to grow, diligently brewing and blooming - finally the flower blooms, scattering a wisp of fragrance that is not the same as the fragrance, attracting countless praises - no matter how much effort and how much pain is paid, only for yourself, not for anyone.
recalled that since she entered the temple, she was not arrogant, not angry, and not in a hurry...... Even in the crowd of people who were all in purple official uniforms next to Danqi, many of the adults with normal faces glanced at Qiu Yulan's gaze, all of them thoughtful.
After a short silence, Qiu Mengmin, who had always looked calm, came out in full clothes, bowed down to Danqi, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Qiu Mengmin, with his life and the lord of the King of Xihe, he guarantees the birth mother of the minister, Lu, although he was expelled by his mother, Concubine Xihe, but! When the concubine was dying, she remembered the old feelings, asked someone to transfer the minister, and took her biological mother back to the palace to be raised! β
Qiu Lulan and Ruan Qingyan were excited and shocked at the same time!
