Search?

Shen Zhongkang and the others were shocked at first when they heard Cheng Guogong's words, but after they reacted, they couldn't help but curse for being cunning.

What is the big deal of sending someone to search the house, and what is the difference between this and raiding the house?

Not to mention the Chengguo Mansion, even if it is just an ordinary official's mansion, if you want to raid your home, you have to have conclusive evidence like Meng Dehui, otherwise if you can't find anything, it will be tantamount to wronging a loyal minister.

What's more, Cheng Guogong is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he once assisted Emperor Tianqing to ascend the throne, he is the father of the palace concubine, and the grandfather of the three princes, and the relationship between the three princes is extremely complicated.

If you really send someone to search now, you can't find anything, and the dignified and dignified prince is "humiliated" like this, and the person in the upper position will definitely end up with a bad reputation for treating the old minister.

How dare Emperor Tianqing take the risk?

Sure enough, Emperor Tianqing's face was ugly, but he hesitated and did not speak.

Cheng Guogong was sure in his heart, and he became more and more calm when he spoke: "If it weren't for the old minister, he would also be willing to invite himself to prison, then what Meng Dehui did was really hateful, and it would affect the court and the world, as long as he could find out his affairs, remove the silverfish in the court, and be loyal to His Majesty and the great cause, the old minister would not be afraid of being wronged for a while." ”

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were a little gloomy, grinding his back tooth sockets.

How dare this old puppet blackmail him?!

"Cheng Guogong, don't say such angry words."

Seeing that Emperor Tianqing was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and Chengguo Gong was aggressive, Chen Yin, the first assistant, suddenly spoke.

Chen Yin is old, his beard is gray, and he is a little gentle when he speaks.

"Cheng Guogong has been in the court for many years, and he has made great contributions to the great cause of the court, and he will not do such a thing for his own selfishness." He raised his head to look at Emperor Tianqing, "Your Majesty, there may be a misunderstanding in this matter, and the origin of the Cheng family must be investigated slowly." ”

Yongshun Hou was simple-minded, he couldn't see Cheng Guogong's intention to blackmail Emperor Tianqing at all, and he saw that Chen Yin suddenly stood up for Cheng Guogong, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold.

Before he opened his mouth, his feet hurt, but Zhan Changdong on the side accidentally stepped on his instep when he suddenly stepped forward.

Zhan Changdong stood half a step in front of the Marquis of Yongshun and said: "Lord Chen is right, Your Majesty, this matter is related to the prince of the country, how can you judge lightly." ”

"If it is true that the dignified prince is sent to prison just because of a casual word, and the old ministers are treated like this without finding out the ins and outs, then in the future, who can wronged the people in the court by saying the last sentence casually, this will not only make people question His Majesty's mistreatment of the courtiers, but also make the lords in the court feel cold."

Cheng Guogong felt wrong when he heard this.

Shen Zhongkang and the others also looked at Zhan Changdong, wondering why he suddenly spoke for Cheng Guogong.

In the next moment, I listened to Zhan Changdong's voice,

"But what Cheng Guogong just said is also reasonable, what Meng Dehui did is really hateful, and it also affects the court and the world, Chengguo Mansion definitely can't be stigmatized because of him, if this matter is not investigated, there will be people who question the innocence of Chengguo Mansion in the future, and suspect that His Majesty is biased."

"It's better like this, since Zhou Qi is the second master of the Zheng family, saying that the Cheng family was transferred to Meng Dehui by him, and he has not mentioned the entire Chengguo Mansion, in fact, there is no need to be Chengguo Gong, just let the second master Zheng go to sit in the edict prison, and he will naturally see it after the matter is clear."

Cheng Guogong's heart suddenly sank, and he just wanted to say something.

saw Zhan Changdong turn his head to look at him: "Cheng Guogong is even willing to invite himself to prison, he must not agree, right?" ”

"Anyway, Zhou Qi may be climbing indiscriminately, and when the truth of the matter is clarified, Second Master Zheng will be able to come out safely."

Cheng Guogong: "......"

The words he said just now were mercilessly thrown in his face by Zhan Changdong, and he poured back with bitter water and couldn't speak.

Don't say yes?

Doesn't that mean that he was playing tricks just now?!

Emperor Tianqing is not a tolerant person, these old ministers in the court have become more and more powerful in recent years, and there are even more people who kick their noses and faces.

Cheng Guogong was already extremely angry in his heart when he forced him to say words just now, but he couldn't easily attack Chengguo Mansion, and now seeing that Cheng Guogong was speechless when Zhan Changdong said a few words, he was like drinking a big bowl of ice water on a dog day, and he felt comfortable from head to toe.

The prince glanced at Zhan Changdong, and inexplicably saw in him a smell of Xue Nuo's tricks and calculations against Meng Dehui.

He almost burst out laughing, and only after coughing low did he suppress his smile and say:

"Father, the sons feel that what Lord Zhan said is reasonable, this matter is not a trivial matter, whether what Zhou Qi said is true or false, it must be carefully investigated, so as not to wronged the Chengguo Mansion, and the Cheng family is not only involved in a private matter with Meng Dehui, but also about household corruption, and it must not be taken lightly."

Shen Zhongkang spoke: "The old minister seconded the proposal, whether it is for the innocence of the Chengguo Mansion or the cleanliness of the court, this matter should be strictly investigated." ”

Emperor Tianqing rarely showed a warm look to the crown prince, and after the gloom in his eyes dissipated, his face softened, and he said to the others in front of the palace: "What do you think Aiqing? ”

The others also saw the Tao when they arrived.

Chengguo Gong stealing chickens does not make rice, and Zhan Changdong is His Majesty's new favorite Shen Xiao.

There are also the crown prince and Shen Cifu......

The others also spoke: "The minister thinks that what the prince said is very true, and this matter must be strictly investigated." ”

"The law of the DPRK and China brooks no provocation, and this matter must be investigated."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Emperor Tianqing looked at Cheng Guogong at this time: "Cheng Guogong, what do you think?" ”

What does Cheng Guogong think?

He felt that he was eager to vomit blood, and forced his heart to panic, his face was bruised and swollen, and the blood on his face faded, and he whispered: "The old minister is willing to listen to His Majesty's will." ”

Emperor Tianqing suddenly became more and more comfortable when he saw him in such an embarrassed appearance, and when he looked at Zhan Changdong, his eyes were extremely kind: "Then first put the second son of the Zheng family in prison, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will separately investigate the Cheng family and the Chengguo Mansion, as well as the matter of Chai Chunhua and Zhou Qi, and this matter will be handed over to Zhan Yushi to investigate." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhan Changdong spoke: "Your Majesty has an explanation, Weichen should not have shirked, but Weichen has just returned to Beijing, and he is not familiar with everything in Beijing." ”

"It is related to the corruption of the household department and the innocence of the Guogong Mansion, this matter must not be ignored, Xu Lizhen, the former imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, has outstanding ability, and he is also very familiar with Chai Chunhua when he was in Jiangnan, and he also knows all the things related to Cheng's Caoyun smuggling salt, Your Majesty might as well hand over this matter to Xu Yushi to handle, he will definitely be more outstanding than Weichen."

Xu Lizhen: "??? ”

Xu Lizhen was reprimanded some time ago, and the matter of Cao Yun also made him lose his holy will, plus because of Cao Yun, he offended a large number of people in the court, and was robbed of the position of the imperial history of the capital by Zhan Changdong, he didn't want to take the lead recently.

After this incident happened today, he sensed that something was wrong when Zhan Changdong opened his mouth, and he also faintly sensed that the Chengguo Mansion and Meng Dehui were afraid that they had been tricked, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end because he didn't want to cause this trouble.

When you think that people are sitting at home, the pot comes from heaven.

Zhan Changdong actually pulled him out to pick up this mess!

Xu Lizhen opened his mouth and wanted to humbly refuse, but before he could speak, Emperor Tianqing had already said: "What you said has some truth, then this matter will be handed over to Xu Lizhen to investigate." ”

Zhan Changdong said as if comforting: "Cheng Guogong rest assured, Xu Yushi is the best at investigating cases, and if he didn't have Cao Yun, he wouldn't have found out so quickly." ”

"He will definitely restore the innocence of the country."

What Cheng Guogong thinks about it is not to say it first, but the Emperor Tianqing at the top instantly remembered Xu Lizhen's selfishness in the matter of Cao Yun before, as well as the fact that he deliberately delayed and wanted to take the account books of the Hu family privately.

When he looked at Xu Lizhen, his face sank slightly: "Cheng Guogong is an important minister in the court, and no one can slander him." ”

"In three days, I will know the result."

Xu Lizhen: "......"

Zhan Changdong, this slut!!
