Chapter 59: Check
In the Qianqing Palace, Tianqi didn't seem to have the heart to read today's recital.
After flipping through a few books, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Wei Daban, you are Mama's husband, what Mama did, you don't know?" ”
"The confession submitted by Jin Yiwei also involves you, how many of it is true?"
Although it was somewhat abrupt for the Apocalypse to ask this question at this time, Wei Zhongxian had been waiting for this question to appear since yesterday's court trial, so he had already been prepared.
But this kind of question is not easy to answer after all, he pondered for a while, and then said with some trepidation: "Long live, the slave maid has been running errands for the court all these years, and has experienced many people and things, and sometimes it is inevitable that the handling will be unfair, some selfishness, and even unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the slave and maid are indeed guilty." ”
"However, this confession submitted by Jinyiwei is too appalling, even if the slave maid has ten guts, she will not dare to act so boldly."
"The slave and maid admit the mistakes made by the slave and the maid, but those false and exaggerated confessions, the slave and the maid will never dare to admit it, please long live it."
Hearing this, Tianqi sighed heavily and said with relief: "Of course I trust Wei Daban and Mama. ”
Wei Zhongxian was immediately moved, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Long live, long live, long live, long live." ”
"It is a blessing for a slave and maid to be so trusted by Banzai, and the slave and maid know that everything that the slave and maid have today is given by Banzai. The slave's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and to Long Live can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”
Apocalypse nodded, but still said a little sadly: "On one side is you and Mama, and on the other side is my queen and royal brother, why can't you live in peace?" If you have to make such a big fuss, how will this end? ”
Wei Zhongxian couldn't express his opinion on this issue, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
"Wei Daban, get up."
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stood up, and Tianqi began to continue reading the recitals again.
Finally, Li Banghua's recital appeared in front of his eyes, Wei Zhongxian's eyelids jumped for no reason, and his heart was irrepressibly panicked.
"Li Banghua's, is there something going on in Jingying?" Apocalypse muttered to himself.
Because Li Banghua had also played a concert before, almost all of them reported some of the situation in Beijing, and Tianqi saw his intentions, and personally gave instructions a few times to show encouragement.
It's not that Li Banghua didn't know what the eunuchs had done before, it's just that he was weak and couldn't grasp the definitive evidence of the eunuchs, and he knew that blind impeachment would have no effect at all except asking for hardships.
Therefore, after he took office as the governor of Jingying, he almost never specifically targeted the eunuchs.
And Wei Zhongxian learned from Tianqi that Li Banghua was the candidate selected by Taizu, so it was inconvenient to take the initiative to trouble Li Banghua, and the two sides were at peace for a few months, until this incident happened.
The apocalypse opened the chapter at will, and his eyes froze, and he saw at the beginning that this was an impeachment chapter, and the object of impeachment was no one else, but Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong in front of him.
Seeing that Tianqi's expression became serious, Wei Zhongxian's heart couldn't help but tighten.
After a while, Tianqi slowly closed the movement, and then asked calmly: "Wei Daban, have you seen this movement?" ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't hide it, and hurriedly replied: "Long live Hui, the slave has seen it." ”
"And what do you think?"
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment and said: "Long live Hui, over the years, the slaves and maids have disposed of a group of Donglin Party members who wantonly talk and disturb the dynasty, and they have offended many scholars for this. ”
"Although Master Li is quite talented, he is also a member of the Donglin Party, and it is inevitable that he has many complaints about slaves and maids in his heart, and it is reasonable for him to choose to impeach slaves and maids at this time."
"There is no personal grudge between the slave and Lord Li, if there is a political disagreement, or there is a misunderstanding, the slave and the maid are very willing to resolve the conflict with Lord Li."
"Because the slave and maid know very well that the prisoner is about to enter the court, the court can no longer have internal friction because of these things, which will only make the relatives painful and the enemies happy, and will do all kinds of harm to the court but no benefit."
Tianqi nodded, slowly stood up, walked to the center of the study, patted his palms with a note, and sighed: "Wei Daban is reasonable. ”
"However, Li Banghua is valued by Taizu, and now he is helping the imperial court to rectify the Beijing camp, and I can't send his recitals at will, so I can't explain to Taizu."
"That being the case, then let Jinyiwei and the Three Law Divisions jointly investigate what is said on the chapter and restore the truth."
Speaking of this, Tianqi paused, turned to look at Wei Zhongxian, and said seriously: "Wei Daban, I am not targeting you, nor do I not believe you, after all, this matter is not trivial, it happens to anyone, I can't turn a blind eye, otherwise I will be scolded by Taizu again." ”
"These days, every time I close my eyes, I can dream of the majestic face of His Majesty Taizu, as if as long as I don't do anything well, he will take me away and clean it up fiercely."
"Wei Daban, do you think I should let people investigate?"
Can Wei Zhongxian object? If you oppose it, isn't that a clear indication that there is a ghost in your heart? So he hurriedly said: "Go back to Long live, check, you should really check, after finding out the truth, this can not only resolve the misunderstanding between the slave and the maid, but also return some innocence to the slave and maid." ”
Tianqi nodded with satisfaction: "Wei Daban is so deeply aware of righteousness, I can understand my suffering, I am very relieved. ”
"But Wei Daban can also be relieved, I know that you have worked hard for Daming over the years, and you have paid a lot, and some things are inevitably wrong, as long as it is not too much, I will not account too much."
"If someone holds on to some trivial things and embarrasses Wei Daban, I will not agree."
"Of course, if Li Banghua exaggerates the Donglin Party, or even frames you, I will not spare him."
Hearing these words, although Wei Zhongxian was panicked, he still said on his face: "Long live Xie, the slave and maid will also fully cooperate to let the truth come out as soon as possible, and return peace to the court." ”
The rest of the concerto, Tianqi didn't bother to read it, and asked Wei Zhongxian to take it back directly for instructions, showing that he still trusted him very much.
But this is obviously not enough for Wei Zhongxian at the moment.
Because he knows very well that he has done so many things, if he asks Jinyiwei and the Three Law Divisions to investigate, a few more hard bones like Li Banghua will come up and insist on investigating to the end.
How can you cover up so many crimes?
Moreover, Banzai's intention to order the investigation will also be a very bad start, and some people who don't understand it will definitely think that Banzai no longer trusts him and that he is about to lose power.
When the time comes, one stone will stir up a thousand waves, and the consequences are unimaginable.
And when Banzai knows that these crimes are not exaggerated, let alone false, what will he do?
Even if Banzai is willing to remember the love of the past and let it go lightly, isn't there an invisible and untouchable His Majesty Taizu behind Banzai?
Taizu hates the people who endanger the imperial power of the Zhu family the most, if it is confirmed that the matter of the eight palace maids is also related to himself, this article alone can attract the disaster of killing.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't dare to think deeply.
