Chapter 55: Xiaoxiao Rain (1)
Feng Jing didn't panic, and pointed at Pang Zhiqun: "He mentioned it, ask him." β
Tang Shengzong echoed again and again.
Pang Zhiqun had already lost his sharpness just now, and he opened his mouth. He hurriedly looked back at Liang Gu, only to find that Mrs. Liang didn't say a word in the train, as if everything in the hall had nothing to do with him.
What's going on? This is completely different from what was said.
Everyone watched and couldn't question, Pang Zhiqun was flustered, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the regent, it's... Xuzhou there..."
"Ask again, who sued?" Yang Shao's eyes were sharp, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to make a sound, and the huge court hall was so quiet that only Pang Zhiqun's rapid breathing was heard.
"Minister... Not long after the minister took office, he heard some rumors in Xuzhou, and he didn't notice it for a while..."
"Don't notice? Above the court, in front of King Ming, do you tell me to notice? Yang Shao snapped at him, "Taxation and finance, the important weapon of the country, are you treating it as child's play?" What does it mean that the punishment is not a doctor, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and a few families dare to come to the king to sue him if they have a little rumor? Pang Zhiqun, you, the superintendent of the imperial history, eat all day long? β
"The minister knows the crime, the minister ......" Pang Zhiqun's face was like earth, and he kept kowtowing to confess.
"Your Royal Highness, Pang Zhiqun, as the imperial historian, listened to false rumors, confused the dynasty, and even Feng Jing and Tang Shengzong helped to abuse him, what crime should he be guilty of?" Yang Shao looked at him and asked Shen Yanzong.
"The regent presides over state affairs, for the country and the people, everything is up to the regent, but..." Shen Yanzong looked at Tang Shengzong under the hall and stopped talking, but when he thought of Concubine Ning's innocent and lovely appearance, he still had the courage to say, "Lord Tang has always done his best, and his daughter is the side concubine of her father, this time it is only occasionally ......"
"In this case, take the position of Pang Zhiqun's imperial history, push it out, and punish thirty people with a rod to set an example. Feng Jing was subordinate, and he was fined for one year without choosing his words. Yang Shao glanced at the hall and said with a gloomy face, "As for Tang Shengzong, King Ming pities you for your old age, so it's better for you to go home and think about it for three months, and then come to the court when you think clearly." β
"Well, let's do it." After all, he didn't make a ruthless move on Tang Shengzong, and Shen Yanzong nodded narrowly.
Pang Zhiqun cried and was dragged down by Yu Linwei, and the hall was terrifyingly quiet. Zhang Yizhou raised his eyebrows, thinking of the court debate a few days ago, he couldn't help but admire his eldest brother so much.
But after a while, another person came out of the train. This time it was Liang Gu's protΓ©gΓ©, Yu Jin, a waiter in the Criminal Department.
I saw him hand over the recital, and said with his head held high: "Your Royal Highness and the prince are fair and decisive, and can treat the gentry and ordinary people equally, then I believe that this time, the things played by the ministers will also be properly handled." β
What kind of tricks are you going to play?
Yang Shao leaned back generously and looked at him condescendingly.
"What are you going to play?" Shen Yanzong asked.
Yu Jin waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice: "The minister wants to be impeached, and the Ministry of Etiquette will inquire about the Qing officials." β
There was a sudden whisper in the hall, Gao Lang was more than fifty years old, and he was in charge of things such as Jiali regulations, and the criminal department, which really couldn't be beaten.
"Impeach Gao Langzhong!" Shen Yanzong was taken aback.
Peng Yanpu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is an old minister of the former king, loyal and upright, and it is rare to respect him as a former king among the high-ranking officials of the court, rather than a vassal of the regent.
Yu Jin said: "Gao Xun is in charge of the etiquette system, ignoring the etiquette law, and conniving at the repeated trespassings in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. β
"This? What can I say! Shen Yanzong rubbed his hands nervously.
Yu Jin sneered: "The ancestral princes are five, and the Qing is four." Yesterday, there were five chariots and horses entering the city, not the king of Ming, nor the regent on horseback, so who abandoned the etiquette and dared to take the five-ride car? The Ministry of Rites turned a blind eye to this and did not arrest it, and Gao Xun, as a ceremonial and clean official, was it not dereliction of duty? β
Above the main hall, almost everyone was taken aback. Yu Jin's words were tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground, and he said that he was participating in the performance, but in fact, he was going towards the people on His Majesty's side.
The whispering in the hall stopped, and everyone quietly looked at the people on the stage.
Yang Shao calmly took the fold: "My wife is sitting inside, what's the matter, my wife is in my car, and she still has to report to you?" β
"Is it true that the princess regent is sitting in the car?" Yu Jin did not retreat but advanced, straightening his waist.
"Presumptuous, the princess is also what you can ask?" Without waiting for Yang Shao to answer, Zhang Yizhou in the audience had already taken the lead and reprimanded, "Yu Jin, you are really daring!" β
"The ritual system has long been stipulated for the life of the woman, and all the women who are born are not from a good family, and the Ming media cannot be married." Yu Jin met Yang Shao's eyes and asked word by word, "Regent, you said that it was the princess, but there is a Ming king?" β
Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound.
The princess regent, it is indeed like falling from the sky, everyone only heard about it after the suppression of bandits in Xuzhou, and King Yang, who has been like an iceberg for thousands of years, actually got married. But the regent didn't even invite everyone to a glass of wine, let alone the enthronement ceremony.
"Huh!" No matter how annoyed the court is, as long as Yang Shao thinks about it, he can always be unfazed, "On the day of the king's wedding, His Royal Highness deigned to come to the door to congratulate, and the gift list is still there, do I have to show you?" β
After that, Yang Shao turned to Shen Yanzong and asked with a light smile, "Your Highness, is this the case?" β
"It's true!" When Shen Yanzong heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and then went to the court, "Lonely relatives congratulate the regent Daxi, Princess Gu, and Lonely are also fortunate to have met once." The regent is not reserved, and he doesn't even make a big deal of the country's heavy joy such as marrying the princess, but only focuses on my Ming military and political affairs, and the humerus of the country is like this. You don't know, and you don't complain, but Lone knows. β
Not to mention that because of the military power, he never dared to brush Yang Shao openly, the Guangli Department was one of the few things he relied on in the court, and he also had to protect Gao Xun.
"Then I would like to ask Peng Shangshu again, since they are husband and wife, can they share a car according to the etiquette law?" Yang Shao was kind and instructive, if he remembered correctly, Li Ji said this matter specifically.
Although Peng Yanpu's hair has turned gray, it is still as straight as a pine, he slowly came out of the ranks, and said with an old voice: "Qiyu Regent, there are clouds of etiquette, husband and wife are good with two surnames, the upper is to the temple, and the next generation is to succeed the next generation. If it is a wife, then the same frame can be used. β
This repudiation of the bookbag was exactly what Yang Shao wanted, he spread his hands, looked at Yu Jin, and said: "Wife, the same respect, available, don't you hurry up?" β
"Weichen's initial words, the prince seems to have only heard half of the sentence." Yu Jin lowered his eyes, and there was already a ready excitement in his heart, "The first half of the minister's sentence is that whoever lives a woman is not from a good family, so he can't do it!" β
The audience was in an uproar, and even Shen Yanzong looked up at Yang Shao, his eyes full of surprise.
Yang Shao's heart sank suddenly, looking at the smile on Yu Jin's lips, secretly the bones were already clenched.
In his eyes, the evil aura of the yin owl slowly condensed: "Yu Jin, once you say something wrong, in this life, you will never have a chance to speak again." β
"I won't be wrong, Gu Yufu, the daughter of the remnants of the Yong Dynasty, a sinner!" Yu Jin raised his head suddenly, three points proud, seven points arrogant and said loudly, "At the entrance of the east market of Anqing City, one hundred taels was priced, and it was sold to people as cheap ......."
"Presumptuous!" Before he could speak, Yang Shao was already very rare and angry, grabbed the paperweight on Shen Yanzong's table, and slammed it into Yu Jin's feet with a "bang-" sound.
The paperweight shattered, and the celadon slag splashed all over the ground, bursting high on Yu Jin's face, leaving a bloody streak.
Everyone in the hall was silent, and Liang Gu straightened up leisurely.
The anger was stretched to the extreme, Yang Shao's eyes were red, but his mind gradually cleared up from the gaffe, he stood with his hands behind his back, cold and detached like a god: "Yu Langzhong, you are untrustworthy, do you have any evidence?" β
All the files about Yu Fu in Anqing, he had already told Zhao Yunqing to destroy them all, and there should be no evidence in the whole world.
"The prince must be thinking, there was a fire in the treasury of Anqing Mansion, which burned inexplicably, how can there be any evidence?" Yu Jin laughed silently, "But Lord Wang, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Anqing City, and there are people coming and going in Dongshikou that day, you didn't think that there are witnesses everywhere?" β
"Naturally, you want to find a few ruffians and hooligans to put shit on the heads of King Yang and the princess." Xu Yue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't stand still, pointed at Yu Jin and said coldly, "How many words of truth can you have on the person you found?" β
"Xu Shangshu is right!" Wu Yuanshu, the secretary of the ministry, also stood up, like Xu Yue, he was pulled by Yang Shao, and he spoke for the regent in his death, "Yu Jin, you are clearly deliberately framing the regent, and your heart can be punished!" β
"You two are talking empty words, and those who are conclusive do not believe it, but you want to mess around, what is your intention?" Yu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly said sharply.
"The witness is waiting outside the palace at this time, everyone doesn't believe it, the prince can ask Gu Yufu to come over and testify on the spot." Yu Jin was even more arrogant, "Your Highness! β
"Bold!" Zhang Yizhou took the lead and went up and grabbed Yu Jin's clothes, "Yu Jin, if you dare to call the princess by her name, Your Highness should drag you out first!" β
Feng Jing was not to be left behind, and came up to push: "Your Highness didn't speak, Zhang Yizhou, what are you doing!" β
"I'm just righteous, Feng Jing! You're fined, isn't it? β
"Your Highness......"
"Lord Wang!"
"You!"
β¦β¦
There was tension in the court, and the cadres of the two factions quarreled face to face, and they were almost about to fight.
Yang Shao relied on his large number of people, slowly put down the taut strings, sat back in his position and looked at Liang Gu coldly.
Liang Gu was also squinting at him.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please! Yu Jin was besieged by several people, so he simply broke away from the crowd and rushed forward to kneel, shouting, "King Yang knows the law and breaks the law, and marries the criminal relatives of the former dynasty as his wife, which makes me laugh at the world!" Your Highness, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, don't you care! β
The noise gradually thinned out, and everyone was either annoyed, cold, or disdainful, and looked at Shen Yanzong together.
"This ......" In front of everyone's eyes, Shen Yanzong rode a tiger and was difficult.
Yang Shao had already crossed his legs and turned to him expressionlessly.
More than half of the people in the court are regents, even if Gu Yufu is really a remnant of the previous dynasty, with the depth of Yang Shao's beloved wife, if it is conclusively exposed, if he does not do anything, he encourages those who swear allegiance to him to the death, and overturn himself......
Shen Yanzong shuddered, hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Yes, I'm afraid this is inappropriate......
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Whether King Yang's wife is a criminal of the previous dynasty, whether she is worthy of being a princess or not, and whether she is not confronted in court, how can she be clear? Liang Gu, who never said a word, finally stood up.
"Mrs. Liang, my wife is sick, and she really has no time to pay attention to it, Yu Jin is such a shameless villain." Yang Shao's eyes had faded from the angry red, leaving only a frosty coldness.
"But if you always refuse to confront you, the reputation of this criminal family has spread today, Mrs. Yu Zun, isn't it dirty water that can't be washed?" Liang Gu smiled meaningfully, "King Yang, you said Gu Yufu, how should you deal with yourself in the future?" β
