Chapter 166: Hitting a Wall (Karlking and Clan 1+)
Old Man Zheng nodded sympathetically, "The last time the incident happened suddenly, more than 300 people in the Sheng family died, so they were confused. This time, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give more consideration and give Sheng Qi a chance to speak. Now the king of Dali Temple is upright and upright, and he is like a god in judging cases. If it is tried by him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured. If it was really Sheng Qi's doing, Wang Zhiquan would not let him go. And if it was Sheng Qi's doing, he was definitely not alone, and the black hand behind him should also be found. Otherwise, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be afraid if he lived in this palace? ”
The three grandfathers looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, and there was a great meaning of "if you don't agree, you have a ghost in your heart".
The prince smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "The three grandfathers of the country are very right. In this case, let Wang Zhiquan conclude the case. After a pause, he said: "This matter should not be delayed, it is better to solve it quickly." ”
Old Man Wu bowed, "It should be." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing to ascend the throne. Your dragon robe, the minister has instructed the weaving office to work day and night, be sure to send the most suitable dragon robe to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time! ”
The prince smiled, "There is Lao Wu Guogong." Saying that, he sent them out, and in front of them, asked the chamberlain to pass on the decree to the king of Dali Temple, and tomorrow will openly try the case of Sheng Qi's "killing the king", so that everyone in the capital can hear the trial.
What is the purpose of the prince doing this, the three princes are too lazy to care.
For them, it's just a matter of getting there. -- It doesn't matter by what means.
As soon as the three princes left, the prince returned to his east palace and discussed the matter with his staff.
He was forced to hear the case publicly, and he was not unworried.
But his staff felt that there was nothing to worry about.
“…… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worried too much. Although the death of His Majesty is strange. But it's none of our business. We got news from the Marquis of Changyuan. said that it was Aunt Ning's arraignment. His Majesty is in critical condition, but when we come to the Anhe Palace, not only has His Majesty passed away, but even Aunt Ning has already died, and there are indeed some inexplicable places, but because Aunt Ning is dead, we have nothing to do with it. The prince's military advisor stroked his long beard and said slowly.
The prince was choked. Frowning, he walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said suspiciously: "...... yes, what the hell is going on? As he spoke, he looked back at his four most close staff, "You guys tell me honestly, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”
Several staff members hurriedly said: "The ministers can swear with their lives, and this matter has nothing to do with us at all." That's why they think it's okay for the Dali Temple to hear the case publicly. can even take the opportunity to hit the arrogance of the Queen Mother.
Although the Queen Mother is now under house arrest by the prince in the inner palace, the old god is still there. It's like I don't feel like I've lost ground.
The prince's subordinates are not worried about the Sheng Guo Mansion and Sheng Qiye, but they are most worried about whether the Queen Mother has a backhand.
"That's good." The prince let out a long breath, and the whole person was relaxed, but he felt puzzled, "Then who did it?" Is it really Sheng Qi? ”
"Even if it's not him, it's him." One of the prince's aides said conclusively, "There is no second candidate. -- This person is the least implicated, and their Sheng family has a criminal record anyway, so it is easy to convict. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could even pardon his family after ascending the throne, and order his eldest son to become the prince in order to appease the other three princes. ――As long as the three major princes are on the side of the prince, the queen mother will not have to worry too much. ”
Anyway, the Sheng family has been killed by the Queen Mother so that only Sheng Qi, the son-in-law, is left, and it is too much for them to kill the remaining orphans and widows. -- Don't forget your roots, don't do things too much.
"Alas, well, let's go to Dali Temple tomorrow to hear the trial and see what the hell is going on." The prince waved his hand and let the staff go down.
……
Zheng Suxin was also surprised when she heard that Sheng Qiye "killed the king", but her first reaction was to go to the Divine General's Mansion to ask to see Zhou Chengzong.
But I didn't expect her to be late, and before Old Man Zhou went out to Dali Temple, he sent Zhou Chengzong to other places to do errands.
Zheng Suxin couldn't, so she had to hurry to the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother.
As a result, I was told that the Queen Mother was overly sad and fell ill in bed, not seeing outsiders.
Zheng Suxin asked Aunt Ning, who had always taken care of His Majesty's daily life, where was it, only to learn that Ning Chun died in the well last night, and the body had been taken to Dali Temple by King Cheng Zhiquan of Dali Temple, and she couldn't help but change color.
“…… What about His Royal Highness the Prince? Zheng Suxin had no choice but to ask about the prince.
The people in the palace were in a very mixed mood.
On the one hand, the Queen Mother has been in the court for more than 20 years, and the palace is full of her manpower, but as soon as Emperor Xia Ming dies, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and these people in the palace are obviously unlucky.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier.
The crown prince who ascended to the throne could no longer use these palace people from the reign of the queen mother. - Even if he dared to use it, his subordinates would not dare to let him use it.
On the other hand, these people are all looking for their own way out, hoping to leave the palace early to make a living before the crown prince ascends the throne and purges.
Therefore, there are not many answers to Zheng Suxin's question, and they are all busy with their own affairs.
Zheng Suxin couldn't, so she had to go to the East Palace to see the prince in person, wanting to ask the queen mother about her condition.
The prince had just sent off the three grandfathers of the kingdom and was sitting in the study, when he heard that it was Zheng Yiren who asked to see him and wanted to ask about the queen mother's condition, so he ordered someone to invite her in and comforted her: "The imperial grandmother is not well, but her spirit is fine." Zheng Yiren don't have to worry. Lone will bring Zheng Yiren's concern to the imperial grandmother. ”
Zheng Suxin nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." After a pause, he smiled slightly: "No, I should change my name to Majesty." I don't know if His Majesty has chosen the day of his accession to the throne? We, the Wu family, should offer a generous gift to His Majesty! ”
The prince laughed, "Zheng Yiren is too polite. This Wu family has Zheng Yiren, it is really like a tiger with wings, amazing! Disastrous! Zheng Suxin praised him fiercely.
Zheng Suxin asked about the disposition of Sheng Qiye, "...... It stands to reason that I shouldn't have interceded with him, his crime of killing the king is unforgivable. But in the end, he is the only root and seedling of my master, and I ask His Majesty to open the net and spare him from dying. As he spoke, he solemnly gave the prince a big salute.
The prince hurriedly said: "This matter has been handed over to Dali Temple, and it will be publicly tried by Lord Cheng of Dali Temple." Lord Wang has always had the name of 'Wang Qingtian', and it is naturally foolproof for him to be tried. ”
Zheng Suxin was stunned, "Do you want to make it public?" That's not good...... Those people are a rabble, how do you know whether it is true or false? The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. Your Majesty, don't forget to ...... "And the secret affairs of the palace, how can the people know about it?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Lone believes in Lord Wang. Besides, Lone also wants to know what the hell is going on. Saying that, the prince spread his hands, "Lone doesn't want others to think that Lone deliberately framed Sheng Qi." ”
Zheng Suxin smiled, "It is the blessing of all the people that His Majesty can think like this, but there are many things, do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do well...... Prince, think about it......"
At this time, in the mansion of Wu Guogong, the old man Wu, who had just returned to the house and had not yet sat down to drink hot tea, heard that the Wu family's money village was in an emergency and was so crowded that the store was closed, he was immediately furious, and smashed the iron and stone walnut in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "How can this be? My Wu family's money village has always had plenty of money, how could I be squeezed by these mud legs and close my shop?! What a bad idea! ”
The shopkeeper of the money village who came to ask for help was about to cry, and said together: "It's Grandma Zheng who asked us to keep only one hundred and two of the bottom silver, and the rest of the silver will be released......
"What?!" Old Man Wu is so angry that he smokes! Secretly said that this woman was also from the Zheng Guogong Mansion, how did she get into the eyes of money?
The bottom silver of their Wu family's money village has always been retained in tenths and two, but it was reduced by ninety percent with a stroke of her pen!
"Where's the Long Pavilion?! Call me in! And his daughter-in-law, come in together! Old Man Wu said angrily, flicked the sleeves of his robe, went into the inner room, and ordered someone to take the shopkeeper of the money village outside to the general ledger room behind to move silver to fill the hole.
Wu Changge had just come back from outside, and when he heard that Old Man Wu was going to see him and Zheng Suxin, he hurriedly came to Mingse Courtyard and asked her to go to the Zhile Hall in the outer courtyard together.
The maid in Zheng Suxin's room said that the eldest grandmother went to the palace to annoy the Queen Mother.
Wu Changge had no choice but to go to see his father alone and speak for Zheng Suxin, "Suxin went to the palace to annoy the Queen Mother." Do you want to wait? ”
"See the Queen Mother? What kind of queen mother to see at this pass! Old Man Wu was furious, "Isn't she still in trouble enough?" Pointing at Wu Changge's nose and scolding, "I'll tell you, if you can't control your daughter-in-law anymore, I don't even want your son!" Get out of the house together! ”
Wu Changge was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Don't be angry......"
"Anger? You say I'm angry? Old Man Wu threw the distress letters sent by the shopkeeper of the money bank into Wu Changge's face, "Look for yourself!" What good things have your good daughters-in-law done! ”
Wu Changge looked at it and then shouted grievances, "Dad, you have to say something fair." Frangipani's method has earned us a lot of silver for the Wu family......"
"Shut up!" Old Man Wu was so angry that he almost made a heart attack, "Earn money? Our Wu family still wants her to earn silver? Changge, Changge, you are really inferior to your second brother. Forget it, you hurry up and get your daughter-in-law back. If you don't give her some color to see, this family will be tossed and scattered by her sooner or later! ”
Wu Changge was said to be full of grievances by Old Man Wu, and stood aside with his head drooping, hanging his head, but the anger on his face was very obvious.
Wu Chanjuan heard that her grandfather had lost his temper with her father, and it seemed that she still had something to do with her mother, so she hurriedly came over and persuaded her: "Grandfather, father, you dissipate your anger and say something slowly." ”
Seeing Wu Chanjuan coming, Old Man Wu didn't scold Wu Changge anymore, and it could be regarded as saving him some face, but just said with a straight face: "Juan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, you go back to the Embroidery Pavilion and stay well." ”
