Chapter XXXVIII
With the matter of the edict of the day, Yu Shitai naturally already knows, and everything will eventually be clear.
"Lord Zhongcheng in the Imperial History, he has already entered the palace, and he should have met His Majesty at this moment." Luo Chen came to pay his respects.
Luo Qingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, now Gao Zhen will be fine, it depends on the situation in the court tomorrow." ”
Luo Chen said: "This matter involves the royal family, Your Majesty should not let the Three Law Divisions interfere, and in the end it should be to call the master into the palace to discuss." ”
"Nope." Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I have already written to my uncle before, this matter must not be secretly interrogated, it must be made public, so that everyone knows that the Gao family still has Gao Zhen." ”
"However, Your Majesty will not agree." Luo Chen said.
"So, we have to add a fire," Luo Qingzhi said, and continued to ask, "Cheng Ying's injury is okay, right?" ”
"It's okay, master, you put away the sword in time, although the wound is deep, but the bleeding has stopped." Luo Chen said.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Take me to meet them." ”
Luo Chen led Luo Qingzhi to the courtyard in the west, and the five people in the prison had already changed their prison uniforms at this moment and were wearing ordinary people's clothes.
Cheng Ying stood in front of him and said sincerely: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with my brothers, please don't offend them." ”
Luo Qingzhi said: "I said, you compete with me, and if you lose, I will let you go." ”
Cheng Ying couldn't believe it, and said first, "I don't know anything about that adult, so I can't tell you any news." ”
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "No need, if I say let you go, I will let you go, and I don't need other conditions." ”
"Still." Luo Qingzhi paused and said, "Not at the moment, now that martial law is under law in the city, I have no way to send you out of the city, and when this matter is understood, I will definitely send you out of the city." ”
“...... I believe you, not only because you are the lord of Anning, but also because you are the daughter of the king of Pingbei. Cheng Ying said.
Luo Qingzhi briefly ordered a few things to pay attention to, and then turned to leave.
"Wait." Cheng Ying stopped her, "I can't say anything about that adult, but I can talk about other things." ”
Luo Qingzhi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Ten years ago, no, it's been a year, it should be eleven years ago, I saw General Luo, he was robbed and killed in the secret passage, but he didn't die, I saw with my own eyes, he was rescued." Cheng Ying said.
Luo Qingzhi was short of breath, steady, and said, "You explain it clearly, General Luo, that General Luo?" ”
"Luo Yi, your brother, Luo Yi, General Luo."
Luo Qingzhi stopped breathing for a moment, and asked eagerly, "Who saved me?" ”
Cheng Ying shook her head, "I don't know that person, but, I saw white tiger patterns on his clothes." ”
"White Tiger?" Luo Qingzhi read silently, searching her sea of books, and didn't think of anything.
“...... Okay, I see, thank you for telling me. ”
Cheng Ying sighed slightly and said, "That year, I respected the old prince and wanted to join the army, but unfortunately I ......"
Luo Qingzhi didn't want to continue this topic, "The things of the year are all over, and Hall Master Cheng doesn't need to think about it anymore. ”
Luo Qingzhi turned to leave, and Cheng Ying yelled, "You didn't kill me, I am grateful to you, but you are worthy of being the daughter of the king of Pingbei, and I also disdain you." ”
Luo Chen drew his sword and roared, "What do you know! ”
"Stop!" Luo Qingzhi stopped Luo Chen.
She didn't turn around, didn't speak, just went straight forward, straightened her back, and walked with every sonorous step.
Back in the study, Luo Qingzhi was still excited by the news just now.
"Brother is not dead, did you hear Luochen?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Luo Chen said: "My subordinates heard it, but, who knows whether what the man said is true or false, master, over the years, how many such news have been handed over, and in the end, it just makes you happy." ”
"I know, but as long as there is a little news, I have to check it, brother, it is my dearest person." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Well, my subordinates will check it out." Luo Chen said.
"Master!"
Qin Shu, who came with the shouting, was extremely excited.
"Master, I got it."
Luo Qingzhi asked, "What did you catch?" ”
Qin Shu said: "The person who poisoned me, I followed Jin Zijue out of the city, and I saw that he was going to kill him, and Jin Zijue beat me there, so I naturally saved him." ”
"Then, what about Jin Zijue?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"I knocked him unconscious, counting the time, it should be a while before he wakes up." Qin Shu said.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, now that you're all back, then we'll discuss tomorrow's affairs." ”
The two nodded in unison.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Uncle already felt that it was too much to demote Gao Zhen to a concubine at the beginning, and at this moment, His Majesty will definitely restore Gao Zhen's identity, but the Jin family will sue Gao Zhen on the grounds of Gao Zhen's resistance to the decree, and perhaps by the way, he will also join me in shielding the suspect, which is also a rebellion." ”
"Then, in this matter, Your Majesty will definitely support the Jin family." Luo Chen said.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "However, the Jin family is not stupid, they didn't solve Gao Zhen before the trial at this moment, so they will definitely not offend me again, so there is a high probability that they will only participate in Gao Zhen's protest." ”
Qin Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Then, isn't the second son dangerous." ”
"That day, so many people saw Gao Zhen being taken away in my mansion, plus they searched my mansion, and naturally found traces of Gao Zhen's life in the county lord's mansion, Your Majesty, you can't openly shield me." Luo Qingzhi explained.
"Tsk." Qin Shu scratched his head, a little understood, but he couldn't believe it, "Master, you are letting Your Majesty make a choice, oh, no, Your Majesty has no choice at all, he can only choose to restore the second son's status as the crown prince, otherwise, he will put the master in, Your Majesty is unwilling." ”
"It may not be possible to restore the status of the prince, but at least it won't be a concubine." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Then, what if, this Jin family even participates with you?" Luo Chen asked.
Luo Qingzhi chuckled, "Then this Jin family, it's not me who offends, but Your Majesty." ”
Qin Shu thought for a while and said, "Master, you say, are you pampered and arrogant, you know that Your Majesty will never offend you." ”
Luo Qingzhi put away her smile, Qin Shu instantly regretted it, and hurriedly said, "Master, I, I don't mean that." ”
"I didn't say you were wrong, what are you afraid of?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Habitually, Luo Qingzhi touched the white jade jue on her waist again.
Luo Chen smirked a few times and said, "This Jin family is unlucky this time, they have offended Your Majesty in vain, and I don't know how they will be treated." ”
Luo Qingzhi glanced at it and said, "It's still early, the Jin family has a deep foundation, what Your Majesty wants is to weigh it, and he won't be guilty because of such a thing, but he still has to do it to make an example." ”
"So, this second son of Jin is the chicken?" Luo Chen asked.
"It's hard to say." Luo Qingzhi exhaled deeply and said, "This matter is over, but the road ahead is not easy." ”
After the New Year, it no longer snows in Jinling, and even begins to have warm sunshine, but after the snow melts, there is no immediate warmth, it is still cold, no less than the cold winter.
On the second day, the photocopy was opened, and Cheng Baili Han played in the imperial history to inquire about the edict and prison, and all the officials heard about it, and they were in an uproar.
"This matter involves the royal family, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Bailiqing's family went to the study to discuss it in detail." Gao Yan said.
Baili Han spoke sharply and said: "The royal matter is also a court matter, why can't we talk about it in detail in this hall." ”
In recent years, Gao Yan has been decisive, and many civil officials dare not give direct advice, but Baili Han is the only son of the Baili family, and Gao Yan has always been polite.
Seeing that no one in the hall spoke, Bai Lihan continued: "The minister heard that the reason is that General Jin first sued the deposed prince Gao Zhen for disrespect. ”
Jin Zhuo asked Jin Zijue not to raise the matter of Zhen anymore, and he didn't say a word, but at this time, Bai Lihan named him, and if he didn't answer, he indirectly admitted to the false accusation.
Under the dilemma, Jin Zijue walked out, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen, Weichen, sue the crown prince Gao Zhen for disobeying the decree." ”
The court argued, Gao Yan scolded, thought about it, and said, "The county lord of Xuan Anning is in the palace." ”
Although Luo Qingzhi has a court position, due to her identity, she has never appeared in the court.
At this moment, although she was dressed in regular clothes, her steps were calm and heroic, and she walked up to the hall step by step, as if she was portending something and breaking something.
"Wechen see Your Majesty."
"The county lord, please."
The eyes of the hundred officials instantly focused on Luo Qingzhi, she was not only the first female general since the founding of Qi Ning, but also the first female general to go to the court.
"County Lord, this abolished prince was captured among your sons-in-law, so I have to edict you to come." Gao Yan said.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Yes." ”
Baili Han didn't greet him, and asked directly: "County Lord, did you know that Luo Jinchao was Gao Zhen before?" ”
"I don't know." Luo Qingzhi did not hesitate.
"Then, what do you have to say about the abolition of the prince's rebellion." Bai Lihan continued to ask.
Luo Qingzhi didn't hear the news before, she had to know what Jin Zijue had sued, and tentatively said, "So, someone accused me of harboring sinners?" ”
Without waiting for Baili Han to speak, Jin Zijue immediately explained, "No, Xia Guan just abolished the prince." ”
Luo Qingzhi understood the situation and asked rhetorically: "Then, since there is no matter of going to the office, I don't know why the official is going to the palace." ”
Bai Lihan deliberately said: "This Luo Jinchao, or rather, the former prince, has become your son-in-law, naturally, I have to ask the county lord." ”
"Oh? What to ask? ”
"Naturally, do you recognize this husband."
Luo Qingzhi and Baili Han asked and answered, if everyone didn't know that Baili Jia and Luo Qingzhi were not in harmony, they would even think that this conversation was arranged by the two of them in advance.
Gao Yan opened his mouth and said sharply: "Baili Qing family, what is being discussed now is the matter of the former prince's resistance to the decree, and it has nothing to do with the county lord's recruitment of sons-in-law. ”
Bai Lihan retorted and said: "However, if it weren't for the county lord of Anning recruiting a son-in-law, then how could this former prince appear in front of everyone, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with it?" ”
Taking advantage of the fact that no one refuted, Baili Han continued to ask: "County Lord, do you recognize this husband?" ”
Luo Qingzhi saluted Gao Yan and said, "This matter of recruiting a son-in-law is determined by His Majesty himself, and the former prince Toad Palace is hanging, and his Majesty has his own holy judgment." ”
