Chapter 194: The Daughter-in-law Theft Case Broke Out
But in fact, most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are old people who follow Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao.
These people may not be able to die for Zhao Zhen, but they have some guarantees in terms of loyalty, and they are by no means simply able to buy.
If someone really suddenly came over, Zeng Chaosheng probably wouldn't dare to use it.
As for his subordinates, Zeng Chaosheng was even less confident.
dragged Li Hao's blessing, but the Praetorian Guard was mixed with a lot of noble children.
Although many of them have already taken refuge in themselves, who knows what they think in their hearts.
And even if they really take refuge, but the nobles have complicated human feelings, and Zeng Chaosheng doesn't dare to hand over this kind of secret to them.
Of course, Zeng Chaosheng didn't think about helping Zhao Zongquan, but Empress Cao let herself pretend to take refuge and break into them.
Then you also need to do it really, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't be able to deceive these people.
So he said, "Now the official family has been in the sickbed, and he can't leave the Funing Hall at all.
And the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace are all the queen's henchmen, and my people can't even enter the palace, so there is no chance."
Hearing this, Zhao Ceying also fell into deep thought for a while.
After all, Zeng Chaosheng was standing behind Wei Guogong, and he was in charge of the defense of the palace, no matter what the purpose was, he was not a chess piece that could be discarded at will now.
So how can we achieve the goal and keep Zeng Chaosheng out of the matter?
For a while, neither of them could think of any good way, so they could only put the matter on hold for the time being.
Then Zeng Chaosheng quietly left, but he didn't notice that behind him, a pair of eyes were watching tightly.
However, the man did not leave, but continued to squat outside the mansion gate, and waited until he saw that it was Zhao Ceying who had a secret meeting with Zeng Chaosheng.
This person left straight away, went to Xiao Tianshui Lane, and reported the news, and Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye knew about it that night.
Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but say to Gu Tingye: "It seems that our queen mother still knows some art of war, do you think Zhao Zongquan's father and son will be fooled?"
Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "I think this matter is a bit hanging, others don't say it, Han Qi is very thoughtful, and it won't be easy to hide it from him."
But this matter has nothing to do with us, as long as the situation does not get out of control, we will watch from the outside, I think this is also the explanation that Ling Guogong gave you."
Yang Wenyuan smiled when he heard this, and did not refute it, obviously he was not wrong.
But that's right, meddling in the change of imperial power, the benefits of success are indeed great, but the price of failure is also very painful.
At the time of the palace change, these people were still new to officialdom, and they had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
And it happened suddenly, and many people didn't react and joined in.
But this time is different, this turmoil has been brewing until now, and everyone knows that a big storm is just around the corner.
Except for those who were planning to stand in line, there were elders in the other nobles who came forward to teach their children and nephews not to meddle.
Of course, whether the nephew will be obedient or not depends on the situation, after all, there are not a few people who cheat these days.
And Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan are obviously not among them, Yang Wenyuan has to worry about the lives of the people in the whole mansion.
As for Gu Tingye, although he didn't have much of a good sense for the people in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, this time because he didn't have a series of things in the later stage, he still had this kind of affection to some extent.
What's more, the current Gu Tingye still needs to think about Minglan and his own children, and naturally he is even more reluctant to take risks for this matter.
But speaking of this, the two of them thought of Li Hao, after all, if he was in Bianjing, then he would be able to connect himself and Ouyang Xiu.
At that time, the combination of civil and military will make many things easier to do.
It's not like now, because there is no fundamental trust with Ouyang Xiu's side, so he can't even communicate with each other, so he loses his help in the civil class.
Thinking of this,
Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but say, "I don't know how Li Hao's errand is doing, and whether he can rush back to Bianjing in time."
Gu Tingye replied, "If he wants to return to Beijing, he has to go through the consent of the Privy Council, although Grand Minister Ouyang will not stop him.
But it will take a lot of time just to pass the news on both sides, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back so soon, and now I only hope that the official family's body can support it for a longer time, so that the court can have a stable time in the future."
It's just that Gu Tingye didn't know at this time that Li Hao was already on his way on horseback.
And the change in things is obviously not as good as Gu Tingye expected.
After Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi had a bad conversation that day, Han Qi went back and began to prepare, wanting to take Ouyang Xiu under the knife.
It just so happened that Ouyang Xiu had a black history of stealing nephews and nephews, and it was widely spread in officialdom and among the people at that time.
After all, it is the story of an uncle and a niece, and the person concerned is an important minister in the court, so it naturally attracts special attention.
And this kind of thing naturally attracted Zhao Zhen's attention, and he specially ordered Wang Zhaoming and Su Anshi to investigate this matter thoroughly.
In the end, these two people really didn't find any evidence that could prove that Ouyang Xiu had done this kind of thing that violated the norm.
But there is no evidence that he must have done it, and Ouyang Xiu wrote the first words for this niece:
"The willow leaves in the south of the Yangtze River are small and unshaded. The man-made silk is light and forbearing, and the warbler is tender and tender, and it is left for the deep spring. Fourteen or fifteen rooms, hugging the pipa to find. Go down the hall with money, and pay attention to yourself when you see each other, let alone now!"
The phrase "stay for the depths of spring" was explained by someone with a heart, and the meaning of this sentence is to wait for the girl to grow up before making trouble!"
In the end, Ouyang Xiu couldn't get himself out of this eucalyptus cleanly, so after that, Ouyang Xiu had a trip to remove the state.
This time, Han Qi simply repeated the old trick, and directly crowned Ouyang Xiu with a hat that had an affair with his daughter-in-law, and made the thief of his daughter-in-law a few years later in advance.
The official fired directly at the court in public, making the story vivid, and everyone in the court could hear it.
And used this to say that Ouyang Xiu's private morality is not enough to rank in the court, and asked him to stop awaiting trial immediately.
However, this time Xue Zongru was not impeached for something, so naturally this cousin of Mrs. Xue did not turn against Ouyang Xiu.
Without the important witness of Xue Zongru, the credibility of this crime woven in advance has been greatly reduced, at least it has not formed a one-sided situation in the court.
There are still many ministers on Ouyang Xiu's side, including the heroine of this incident, Ouyang Xiu's father-in-law.
That is, Ouyang Fa's wife, the father of the Li family, and the current Taizhong doctor and the prefect of the Inquisitor's Court, Li Ao, is the most intense, after all, this matter has implicated his own daughter.
This is ruining the reputation of his own female roll, how can Li Ao tolerate this.
So he directly angrily reprimanded the official for his nonsense and slandered the important ministers of the court.
The fierce rhetoric, coupled with the fact that Li Ao has also been a prosperous official over the years, has been in charge of the middle and low-level Beijing Dynasty official examinations, grinding surveys, and selections since he took charge of the Inquisitor's Yuan.
This also developed Li Ao's own domineering momentum, and for a while, he forced the official speechless to speak.
And the colleagues who were standing beside Yanguan didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to shoot the cannon, so naturally they wouldn't answer.
Only a few of them had passed the qi beforehand, and at this time they stood behind him and began to help.
But obviously the effect is not great, and this momentum is about to be suppressed by the other party.
However, since Han Qi has already let people report it, he naturally won't let this matter end easily.
So soon, other officials began to speak out one after another, helping the official accuse Ouyang Xiu, and confronting a group of officials who supported Ouyang Xiu.
Of course, the participants are basically civilian officials, and all the generals are hiding behind and watching the excitement.
However, the situation has developed to this point, and even the dullest people can understand it, where is this trying to say that Ouyang Xiu's private morality is not cultivated, this is obviously a party dispute.
Ouyang Xiu naturally understood this, and even more understood whose handwriting it came from.
So he turned his head to look at Han Qi in front of him, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
Han Qi, on the other hand, had an attitude of not caring about himself, his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if there was something interesting in front of him, so he didn't notice the argument of the hundred officials behind him at all.
Until the dispersal of the dynasty, this argument still had no result, and Han Qi left silently as if nothing had happened.
As for Ouyang Xiu, the protagonist of the incident, he was also surrounded by a group of officials at this time, wanting to discuss how to deal with this matter.
But what could Ouyang Xiu do, although he knew that he had never done such a thing.
can't stand the fact that the people don't think so, after all, it's not a big deal to look at the excitement, and it has always been the case since ancient times.
It won't be long before this matter will become the talk of the people of Bianjing, just like the thief nephew back then.
As soon as he thought of this, Ouyang Xiu was in no mood to deal with these officials, so he said goodbye to everyone.
When he got out of the palace, he could see that along the way, many people were pointing at Ouyang Xiu's carriage.
Until Ouyang Xiu returned home, his family, including the eldest son Ouyang Fa and the heroine of this incident, Li, and Mrs. Xue were already waiting in the main hall.
At this time, Ouyang Fa first expressed his attitude: "Father, I know what you and the eldest lady are, and I will never do such a thing.
But why is there such a sudden word outside, and it spreads so quickly, who is targeting my father?"
Hearing his son's words, Ouyang Xiu was still a little relieved, at least the family was still reliable.
Sighing, Ouyang Xiu was about to answer, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Naturally, someone has bad intentions and wants to suppress your father with this kind of filthy thing."
Everyone looked out one after another, only to see Li Ao coming in from outside the courtyard at this time.
It turned out that after Ouyang Xiu left, Li Ao also set up a carriage and followed directly, followed by a few family members, looking embarrassed.
However, seeing that no one reported it, Ouyang Xiu could also guess that this in-law was probably in a hurry, so he broke in directly, so he waved his hand and asked the family to retreat first.
After entering the main hall, Li Ao said first: "I was in a hurry just now, and I couldn't wait for the communication to break in, please forgive me."
Ouyang Xiu said, "What did my father-in-law say, and today I have to thank my father-in-law for speaking up in the court."
After hearing this, Li Ao replied: "This matter was made out of nothing, can I still not know the moral character of my in-laws? How can you allow that group of villains to talk nonsense."
Seeing that the two of them were greetings, Ouyang Fa and the others were a little anxious, especially wanting to know who the ill-intentioned person in Li Ao's mouth was.
So Ouyang asked in a loud voice, "Father-in-law, I don't know who you just said was trying to harm my father?"
Hearing Ouyang Fa's words, Li Ao turned his head and said, "Who else can there be, isn't it that Han Daxiang.
Ever since he had worried the rich and wealthy ministers, I thought that this person had bad intentions, but I never expected him to be so shameless."
Suddenly hearing Han Qi's name, Ouyang Fa and they really couldn't believe it.
After all, in the past, Ouyang Xiu had a good relationship with Han Qi, and even often invited him to come to the mansion to talk.
However, thinking back to the recent period, it is indeed rare to see Han Qi's figure, Ouyang Fa can't help but believe it a little.
And Mrs. Xue was not much surprised by this person's name, because Ouyang Xiu had told her all kinds of things that happened in the middle.
But it was somewhat unexpected that he would use this method.
But then Ouyang Xiu's words also directly confirmed the matter: "Yes, I didn't expect that he would come up with this idea, it's really deliberate."
After speaking, Ouyang Xiu sighed, and seemed to have made a break from this decades of friendship.
Li Ao couldn't care about regret at this time, and asked directly, "Since Han Qi has already made a move,
Then, how do you plan to clear up your grievances?"
Ouyang Xiu shook his head after hearing this, and said, "This matter has reached the point where it is now, even if I have thousands of mouths, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it clearly.
The people will only hear what they want to hear, and where will they care about the truth of the matter.
As for the officials, there is no need to say more, they all know in their hearts."
Hearing this, Li Ao immediately said, "Is it just just a matter of letting Han Qi and that villain make waves, in case he really uses this to drive you out of Bianjing."
Ouyang Xiu explained, "This situation will not happen, and Han Qi himself understands that he can't do it.
So Han Qi's purpose is not here, what he really wants is to take this opportunity to bring the official family back to the stage."
Li Ao is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard this, he reacted and said:
"He wants the official family to finalize the matter of establishing the prince, and he wants to take this opportunity to force the official family out of the Funing Palace, his heart is really ruthless."
Ouyang Xiu said, "Yes, Han Qi understands that the official family is unwilling to let the court be unstable, let alone let me leave the court at this time.
But how to calm this turmoil, the best way is for the official family to come forward in person and make a final decision on this matter.
And Han Qi can take this opportunity to let people bring up the matter of establishing the reserve again, and let the officials do it according to their thoughts.
This is a conspiracy, even if you can see it, there is no other good way to break the situation."
Li Ao was also a little silent now, not knowing what to say.
As for Ouyang Fa and Mrs. Xue, they had already stepped aside at this time, because they knew that this kind of thing was not something they should be involved in.
After the negotiation was fruitless, Li Ao left here and went back to his house.
On the way, Li Ao was also quite distressed, and he didn't know how to explain this matter to his family.
In the next court, basically no one has mentioned the serious matter anymore, and it is all about the controversy about this theft of the daughter-in-law.
This turmoil is slowly fermenting under the noses of hundreds of officials, and everyone is waiting for the day when it will completely break out.
And just as the storm was getting worse, Li Hao was still on the way on horseback.
