802, court battle
Jiaoyue vomited for a while, and finally got a lot better.
She held the teacup, her eyes crooked, and said with emotion: "This kid usually doesn't toss me much, but today he is disobedient." β
After a deep groan, he said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "I see, I must see the imperial grandmother happy." β
The Queen Mother smiled happily, patted her little hands, and said with emotion: "You girl can speak." β
Her eyes swept to Yu Xiaoyan's body, and she saw that Yu Xiaoyan seemed to be fine, but she thought of it for a moment, and she smiled: "Come on, Imperial Doctor Xuan." β
Jiaoyue shook her head: "Imperial grandmother, I'm fine." β
Although Jiao Yue said this, the Queen Mother did not allow it.
She was serious: "This matter is not sloppy, let people take a good look, and the mourning family is also relieved." β
She softened and said, "Who knows if anyone is making small moves here?" After all, you are the most beloved granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family, and you are a pregnant woman, so the mourning family can't let you have trouble. β
When she said this, the Queen Mother glanced at the Jade Concubine as if she had nothing to do with it.
Where did Yu Xiaoyan not know that the Queen Mother was deliberate, what the Queen Mother thought, Yu Xiaoyan knew it.
It's just that they always think that this kind of thing can sting her, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they are always happy to do it, but in fact she doesn't feel anything.
It's not that she doesn't have feelings, it's just that she knows best what to do when and when.
What she wants is long-term glory and wealth, power over the world, and family affection.
It doesn't make a difference whether this thing is there or not.
She laughed slightly and sighed, how come there are always naΓ―ve people!
"This is also the case! It's better to check it out, otherwise the prince should be distressed. If you think that someone in the palace is doing something, the princess will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future."
She smiled kindly and gently.
Queen Mother: "It's still the Jade Concubine who is smart." β
Jiaoyue looked at them, you said a word, it was clear that there was some fighting, and she was a little helpless in her heart, but she was not at ease when she was suddenly uncomfortable, and there was always nothing wrong with Doctor Xuan to see it.
In front of these women, Jiaoyue really felt what it means to have three women in one play.
In fact, can she also thank Rong Zhan!
At least Rong Zhan never let her face this.
Rong Zhan......
What is Rong Zhan doing?
***
Rong Zhan came to the court early in the morning, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he keenly felt that the atmosphere was different from the past. The ministers gathered together in twos and threes, as if they were discussing something in a whisper, and when he came in, although the voice did not stop, it had obviously turned into a whisper, and the volume was extremely low.
Rong Zhan knew that something was going to happen, and it was likely to have something to do with him, he looked at his nose and nose, and silently walked to his position and stood still, first standing still, standing there quietly, observing words and feelings.
It's rare to come to the court once, these people shouldn't be looking for some trouble, right?
Rong Zhan wasn't too surprised by this, but just smiled faintly.
A shrill voice pierced the faint whispers in the air and came towards the main hall: "The emperor has arrived." β
As soon as the ministers heard this, they immediately stopped talking and bowed to the emperor in unison.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat. β
Then he looked around at the ministers below and said, "What can Aiqing do?" β
As Rong Zhan expected, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, a minister immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty," he said.
At the emperor's suggestion, the minister continued: "After the minister's verification over the past few days, it has been proved that Su Jian'an secretly embezzled and accepted bribes is true, but it is quite implicated, I'm afraid it's hard to say." β
The minister glanced at Rong Zhan tremblingly, then looked up at the emperor, and stopped talking.
The emperor was at ease, and said in a flat tone: "Aiqing has something to say but it doesn't hurt, this is my court, except for me, you don't need to be afraid of anyone, just say what you have, don't worry too much." β
Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows, which one is this singing?
Only then did the minister cautiously say, "The minister obeys the order." As far as the minister knows, I am afraid that this is inseparable from the reputation of the prince. β
Rong Zhan knew that this was the prince's trick, and deliberately used such a trick to shout to catch the thief, and wanted to pull himself into the water, and the minister in front of him was afraid that he was a princeling. Thinking of this, he stepped forward and asked, "I wonder why this adult said this?" β
There was even a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
The minister's face turned embarrassed, and then he immediately said loudly: "Please make a ruling on the Holy Lord, Chen Nai reported it according to the truth, and it is not a false judgment." β
Rong Zhan didn't care, and continued to persecute: "My lord, you have been an official for many years, you must have understood the truth that there is no basis for your words." With just a few words, you let the Holy One decide, how can the Holy One decide? Is it just a few words from adults? My lord, if you don't come up with something practical, how can you convince everyone and make the emperor decide? β
The minister was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Rong Zhan to be so ruthless, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing this, the prince hurriedly stepped forward and said in a choked voice: "Zhu Shangshu has been an official for many years, has worked hard, and is deeply trusted by the emperor and loved by the people. Since Zhu Shangshu said that it is reported according to the truth, can there still be a fake? According to the truth, you won't fail to hear these words. β
Rong Zhan smiled heartily: "If you can easily convict a person by virtue of this alone, let me ask my brother where to put the emperor." Even if Zhu Shangshu is conscientious and has never made a mistake, it can only prove that he is a good official, but it cannot be said that everything he said is true. You don't know about such a thing. β
Rong Zhan took another step forward and continued: "Besides, the younger brother came forward in time to help Zhu Shangshu solve the embarrassing situation, I don't know what the purpose of this is?" Could it be that it's your own people, so you can't wait to come forward to maintain it? β
Rong Zhan was not polite.
When the prince heard this, he was like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and immediately roared angrily: "You are a fool of your word. β
The emperor's voice came: "Presumptuous. What kind of system is the noise above the court. β
All the ministers leaned down: "The emperor is angry." β
The emperor's face softened a little, and when he saw that the two of them had not given in to each other before, you came and went to me, so he said: "This matter is not trivial, since it involves the prince, it must not be dealt with hastily." Besides, the two of you will not accept anyone if you say a word to me, and I am afraid that you will not be able to argue for a while. I don't know what the ministers have to think about this matter, but if you put it forward, you can discuss this matter together. β
When Jiang Cheng saw the emperor say this, he felt that it was time for him to come out and preside over the overall situation, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to the old ministers, what you just said is indeed up for discussion. β
Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's sudden words made the prince stunned for a moment. He was a little unsure of what Prime Minister Jiang meant, was this about to suddenly turn against him? He constantly relieved himself in his heart that Prime Minister Jiang was not such a person, and took a deep breath several times before suppressing the anger in his chest to the bottom of his heart.
After he regained his composure, he turned his head to look at Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, and when he received the look that Prime Minister Jiang handed to him, he was relieved, and secretly glad that he didn't act rashly just now, otherwise he would have offended his own people, and I am afraid that he would have to fight alone.
When Jiang Cheng saw that the prince was like this, he was relieved and continued: "According to the judgment of the minister, the prince must have known about this matter a long time ago. β
All the small actions of these people fell in the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched the melee below, without saying a word.
Rong Zhan glanced at Prime Minister Jiang coldly, he was not surprised by this, these people were obviously prepared, intending to cut down the grass and root out themselves.
But he didn't care at all: "I don't know what Prime Minister Jiang said so, but what evidence is there?" Could it be that the court can ignore the prestige of the Son of Heaven, spray people with blood at will, and make indiscriminate accusations? β
The prince didn't wait for Prime Minister Jiang to reply, so he preemptively said: "Heh, evidence? The evidence has been destroyed by you, and you naturally have the confidence to say this, if no one knows, unless you do nothing. β
Rong Zhan chuckled and said, "So, you don't have any evidence, you just planted it at will?" It turns out that this is our royal law? β
The emperor said: "Presumptuous." β
Rong Zhan bowed unhurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, Su Jian'an is now ill, and now he can't be confronted in the palace, so it's hard to say who he is. β
The emperor said unhurriedly: "This is reasonable. Nowadays, there is no human and material evidence, and it is indeed unfair to arbitrarily open up the river. β
Seeing this, the prince hurriedly said: "This Su Jian'an is the cousin of today's princess, and with this nepotism, it's not surprising that Su Jian'an helped to do something." β
Min Zhirui took a step forward and said, "When the prince said this, there is really no logic to speak of. Su Jian'an is the cousin of Princess Yu, isn't he the cousin of the crown princess? Since you can use this to question Yu Wangye, can Yu Wang Ye also use this to question you? It would not be appropriate to conclude that there must have been some illicit association between the two of them on the mere basis of kinship. Even if there is a family relationship, people will still stick to their hearts in doing things, and they may not necessarily help His Royal Highness King Yu because of this. β
The prince was very surprised by Min Zhirui's sudden defection, and he didn't feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know how the people in his camp could suddenly share the same hatred with Rong Zhan at such a critical time, pointing the finger at him, and he didn't feel a little chilled.
Rong Zhan was naturally very surprised, although Min Zhirui had never publicly stood up for the prince, but he grew up with the prince, and everyone regarded him as the prince's party. At this time, he suddenly spoke to himself, and Rong Zhan couldn't figure out what his intentions were for a while, so he could only be cautious and be more vigilant.
The prince didn't know how to reply for a while because of the sudden change, and stood there dumbfounded, without responding for a long time.
However, the emperor took this opportunity to clearly know the camp of the ministers of the court.
He smiled when he saw everyone coming and going: "So, everything you have is just nonsense?" β
After relieving himself, his face turned cold: "It turns out that now I am so old and confused that you don't even think you need evidence. β
