Chapter 405: Great Reversal!
Within a few days, there were more and more officials who interceded for Baili Junyi, and even later, even some famous scribes and scholars came forward, especially when the scientific examination was approaching, many students came to Kyoto from all directions, and the students from Jiangnan began to write articles as soon as they arrived in Kyoto, avenging the grievances of Baili Junyi.
In the Chengqian Palace, Baili Qingcang looked at the article in his hand, and was about to burst out with anger: "Okay, it's really good, I never knew that a prince would have such prestige in the world!" Looking at the articles of these students, they are really sincere and sharp, and they almost point to my name and scold me for being mediocre! Who gave them the guts, who gave them the guts! ”
The ministers kneeling at the bottom hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is angry, those students are just hearsay, and they can't be true." ”
"Hearsay? That is, some people in Kyoto are talking about the wrong disposal of the old five? ”
"The emperor is angry."
Baili Qingcang's whole person was furious, looked at the paper in his hand, threw it into a ball and threw it on the ground, and crushed it fiercely with his feet: "A bunch of nonsense, it's just a bunch of nonsense, I want to see how many of these people have the audacity to openly talk about the royal family's private affairs!" ”
"The emperor thinks twice, many of those students are really talented and learned, they write articles to cry out for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, but they are bewitched, if the emperor openly disposes of the students, then I am afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world."
Although Baili Qingcang was angry, he had not lost his mind yet, those students really couldn't deal with it, otherwise his prestige among the people would be greatly affected, but this breath was not out, he only felt extremely aggrieved. Before, he had been thinking about whether his handling of Baili Junyi was too serious, especially after he submitted the list of forces in the palace. But after experiencing the officials' pleas and the students' grievances, all the unbearable in his heart turned into anger! If this breath does not come out, he will not be able to sit still.
"Come on, announce the entry of the five princes into the palace immediately!"
The officials below were silent, but the emotions in their eyes were extremely excited, several of them were cleaned up by Baili Junyi at the beginning, although they saved their lives, but they were demoted and raided their homes, and then they were afraid of the evidence in the emperor's hands, so they became angry and slowly regained the emperor's trust, this time, it was their turn to take revenge, so can they be polite?
After receiving the summons, Baili Junyi changed his clothes and followed the chamberlain into the palace.
Hongling stood beside Shen Ninghua and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Miss, Your Highness will be fine when he enters the palace this time, right?" ”
Shen Ninghua smiled: "Don't worry, there won't be anything, he knows about the students' writing of articles this time, and even helped behind the scenes, don't worry, it's not in the way." "Not only will it be fine, but if everything goes well, I'm afraid someone will be unlucky.
"Son-in-law, see father." Baili Junyi walked into the main hall and saluted to Baili Qingcang.
Baili Qingcang looked at him, his heart was full of anger, and he kicked the paper that was trampled under his feet to him: "Look at it, take a good look!" ”
Baili Junyi picked up the paper ball and opened it, and quickly glanced at the article on it.
Baili Qingcang scolded coldly: "Old Five, you are really a big face, look at what those students said, dealing with you will endanger the country, will make the people's hearts unstable, and let the people down, why don't I know, when did you become so prestigious?" ”
Baili Junyi frowned and said: "These people are just nonsense, why didn't my father send someone to arrest these students?" ”
The official on the side interjected: "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, these students may be the pillars of the country in the future, how can they be arrested at every turn?" This will chill the hearts of people all over the world. ”
Baili Junyi sneered: "The father is the king, the son is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, the minister will never give up, this is the most basic way to be a minister, these students say that they are hard to study, but they don't even understand the most basic truth of loyalty, even if they read well, they can't be used if they pass the exam!" When you speak for a student, do you think what the student said makes sense? ”
The official who interjected hurriedly defended: "No, Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean that." ”
Baili Qingcang's expression calmed down slightly: "Jun Yi, in this way, are you advocating the disposal of those students?" ”
"Yes, Erchen thinks it should be punished severely. After these students came to Kyoto, they began to write articles to discuss royal affairs privately, in order to gain a good reputation, and even to use this matter to reach the heavens and attract the attention of your father, I think that the minds of these people are not used in the scientific examination and errands, so grandiose and famous, what is the use of keeping them? ”
Baili Qingcang showed a thoughtful expression, he was dizzy with anger before, but now that he thinks about it, it is really strange, those students are from the north and south of the river, if Baili Junyi's reputation is so extensive, how can he, as an emperor, not know anything about it, there is something strange in this.
"Old Five, I have deprived you of your title, do you feel unwilling?"
Baili Junyi raised his head, and his face was extraordinarily calm: "Erchen is not the slightest unwilling. At the beginning, it was the son-in-law who refused his father's marriage first, and you did not directly punish the son-in-law for the crime of disrespecting the decree, you were already extraordinarily lenient to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law was too late to be grateful, how could you still feel unwilling? ”
"Well, those students are indeed a little unreasonable, but if they are dealt with directly, they will inevitably be misunderstood, and they will inevitably be resentful, do you have any ideas for both?"
Baili Junyi thought for a moment, and then said: "Erchen believes that he should first write an article to refute the views of those students, and then punish the students who take the lead. ”
"Well, what you said is right, then you can write the article to refute the students."
"Yes, my son."
Hearing him agree so simply, Baili Qingcang was a little stunned in his heart, those students wrote articles for him, he directly wrote articles to refute them, that is, he directly scolded others for meddling, in this way, not only offended the students who spoke for him, but even others would inevitably feel that he didn't know what to do, so even if he had a good reputation, he would be ruined.
Baili Qingcang waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and he stayed alone in the main hall, only feeling a little headache. The leader of the secret guard quietly appeared in the main hall and knelt on the ground to report: "Master, you have completed the investigation. ”
Baili Qingcang raised his head, got up and walked to the dark guard and took the fold in his hand, after reading the above content, his expression became more and more trance-like: "You mean that those people presented by Jun Yi only did the one thing of breaking into the palace for him?" ”
"Yes, the people on the list have the connections left by the Xia family, and there are also the connections left by the virtuous concubine, but both people have received death orders, are loyal to the king, and only help Princess Zhaohua and the five princes once when their lives are in danger, and then they will never obey their orders."
Baili Qingcang looked surprised, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what to say: "Go and check the rumors and those students in Kyoto, but someone is manipulating behind it?" ”
The people left by the Xia family are to protect Jingyan's descendants, and the same is true for Buyuntian's people, he was originally suspicious of Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, just because he felt threatened, but now the investigation shows that they were really forced to use the manpower in the palace and wasted the only chance to save their lives. Could it be that I have always misunderstood the two of them?
Looking at the report presented by the secret guard, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more, and when he investigated, it also showed that some people on it had been bought by others, secretly helping other concubines and princes, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua didn't even know anything, obviously they had no control over these people at all, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
Baili Qingcang himself is a very suspicious emperor, originally he was convinced in his heart that Baili Junyi was plotting against him, so he felt that he had ulterior motives when he did anything, but now some doubts have gone, and many details are presented in his mind. Those officials pleaded too inexplicably, if they asked for intercession, why didn't they intercede at the first time when he removed the title of Baili Junyi? Moreover, he remembered very well that those officials had been cleaned up by Baili Junyi and spit out most of the family wealth, so didn't he have a little hatred in his heart?
And those students, everything was connected, and he suddenly realized that maybe someone was taking advantage of him, calculating Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua!
Baili Qingcang had doubts in his heart, but the other princes and officials didn't know yet. In the next few days, as soon as Baili Junyi's refutation article came out, many students were silent, not daring to say anything about the royal family, but the rumors were rampant, saying that Baili Junyi didn't know what to do, and had a bad personality, no wonder the emperor would deal with him, and some people even speculated that he did even worse things, so the emperor was disgusted, and he didn't even care about the past feelings.
The people who pleaded for him above the court also disappeared, but many people began to attack Baili Junyi, saying that he had a rebellious personality, no one in his eyes, and did not know how to respect his father.
Baili Qingcang has been listening quietly, and the dragon scale army sent to guard the Five Princes' Mansion has not withdrawn, and sometimes rewards officials who demand severe punishment for Baili Junyi, so that the officials almost scolded Baili Junyi for heinousness.
The secret guard who investigated the rumors and students quickly sent the results of the investigation, and when he saw the results of the investigation, Baili Qingcang was furious and slammed the notebook to the ground: "Okay, that's good, I never knew that my sons were so capable!" ”
Except for the young Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince, the rest of the princes participated, the third prince instigated officials to pretend to intercede, the crown prince and the second prince secretly united the students who went to Beijing to take the exam, and asked them to write articles to intercede for Baili Junyi, and the four princes found someone to attack......
"It's really my good sons, who leave no room for dealing with their own brothers, if you find an opportunity one day, will you spare no effort to deal with me?"
