Chapter 618: The thief shouts to catch the thief
This kind of poem, if it is a merry and talented man like Tang Bohu, made in a ridiculous tone in the Fengyue Field, and won a smile from the beauties, it can be regarded as a good story.
But Lu Ning is a pillar of the country. In such a serious court, reciting this kind of poem is somewhat out of place.
Even if he carries His Majesty's holy grace, there are some Taoist gentlemen who are not used to it.
In the imperial history, Cheng Bao Youzhi stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the protector of King Zhu Tang, and reciting this fragrant poem on such a solemn occasion is inappropriate and detrimental to the country's vision, please punish your majesty severely!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.
"Zhu Tang, if you give a reason for this matter today, it would be okay. If you can't say it, I will send you to Dali Temple and punish you severely!"
Lu Ning looked at the prince and deliberately pretended to be very pitiful and said.
"Maybe the person who made the poem has his own troubles, Brother Huang, or you will ask for a favor, and I won't mention it."
Zhu Biao snorted and said.
"Since this matter has been caused to Lord Cheng Bao in the imperial history, it is absolutely impossible to be good, brother, you better answer your father's question well!"
Lu Ning said to Bao Youzhi very respectfully.
"I heard that Master Bao is a descendant of the famous Qing official Bao Gong of the previous dynasty, and he is naturally iron-faced and selfless, which makes this king admire, do you really want to investigate this matter to the end?"
Bao Youzhi snorted and said.
"The prince must also know the reputation of the lower officials, and at this time, I am afraid it is too late to do such a fluke move."
Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient and said.
"I said Zhu Tang, are you still finished? Hurry up and answer my question!"
Only then did Lu Ning put away his mentality of playing treasure and said respectfully.
"Father, this poem was not written by his sons, but by a courtesan from Yingtianfu Luohua Hutong."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What does that have to do with you?"
Lu Ning whispered.
"Just now, the prince accompanied Lord Zhao and said, we have delayed the time by studying in practice, it is caused by someone being lustful, and Lord Bao said that such a poem is an obscene work, but who can know that the author of this poem is now above the court, does my father want to know?"
At this time, Zhao Ming, the prince's companion, jumped out and said.
"Lord Wang, you only answer His Majesty's question, what are you doing all the time?"
Lu Ning looked at him and said.
"Lord Zhao, I heard that this poem was written two years ago, and this person was admitted to Tanhua, and the next day he went to that kind of place, and in order to please that kind of girl, he made this fragrant poem just now, do you think it's true?"
Zhao Ming snorted, "How does the lower official know?"
Lu Ning sneered and said.
"But the signature of this poem is Zhao Junliang, as far as this king knows, Junliang is your cousin, right?"
Zhao Ming's face turned pale, and he said immediately.
"You're spewing blood!"
Lu Ning looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at the prince.
"That singer is the head of the Xiangmanlou in Pingkang Lane, her name is Liu Yujiao, and her father sent someone to ask for it."
Zhao Ming was so frightened that he was like sifting chaff, and said immediately.
"Your Majesty, the kind of ninth-rate person who went to the Jinluan Palace, I am afraid that it will be a violation of court etiquette."
Zhu Yuanzhang coldly ordered.
"Erhu, you send someone to do it, remember to hurry, if that person runs away or dies, I will destroy you!"
Erhu hurriedly got off the Jinluan Palace, looking for someone to arrange this matter, and after a while, sure enough, a graceful woman was brought to the Golden Palace.
His Majesty asked for his name and place of origin, and sure enough, it was the same as what Lu Ning said.
So, he ordered someone to read Lu Ning's poem just now to this woman.
The woman saw that the matter was revealed, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"This is the year before last after Enke released the list, Zhao Tanhua spent a thousand taels of silver, which monopolized the Oiran and got the chaste body of the slave family
This poem pleases the slave family, but when the slave family found out that she was pregnant, they wanted to find this Zhao Tanhua again, but she had already disappeared, and asked Your Majesty to be the master of the slave family."
His Majesty called Zhao Ming out and said.
"Do you think this is what you said about Zhao Tanhua?"
Zhao Ming said with a sneer on his face.
"You ninth-rate fireworks woman, you must know that slandering the ministers of the court is a capital crime to exterminate the nine clans, you must recognize it clearly and answer it well!"
The singer Liu Yujiao trembled with fright, "Your Majesty, the slave family doesn't dare to say it."
Lu Ning said beside him.
"Don't be afraid of this woman, Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the world, as long as you tell the truth, you will definitely make the decision for you!"
When the woman heard this, she told Zhu Yuanzhang about the original story.
It turned out that this Zhao Ming, after being hit by Tanhua, couldn't stand the instigation of a few friends in the same department, so he went to the book to show off his literary talents, so he was able to monopolize the Oiran.
The two of you, you and me, the poem that Lu Ning memorized just now was written during that time.
It's just that Zhao Tanhua's official fortune was prosperous later, and he was proposed by a cabinet elder in the dynasty, so he ruthlessly broke off the connection with Liu Yujiao.
How do you know that after Liu Yujiao and him for a long time, she actually found out that she was pregnant, and the child is now three years old and is raised in Pingkang Lane.
When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they all showed disdain.
Listening to this Zhao Ming just now, he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and what he said to destroy people's desires with heavenly principles, it turned out that he was the worst one.
Naturally, the court was not full of female cadres and villains, and there were some decent officials who sneered at Zhao Ming.
"Unexpectedly, there is such a hypocrite who robs men and prostitutes above the court, please investigate it strictly!"
Seeing that the paper couldn't contain the fire, Zhao Ming completely lost his temper and knelt down on the Jinluan Hall with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Wechen just made the mistake that all men make, please read that Wechen serves the prince and is loyal and has no two hearts, spare Wechen this time!"
