Chapter 153: It's really killing two birds with one stone
As soon as Wan Shangshu's words fell, Lu He, who was sitting on the side and had never spoken, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.
Not only him, but even Emperor Mingde's gaze stayed on Wan Shangshu for a short time.
"Yo, I didn't know in the past, when Lord Wan had such a weird yin and yang, I thought I would talk like this!" Jing Xiu looked at him and said with a smile.
"Lord Jing, what do you mean by this? I just don't want you and Lord Liu to have trouble over this matter." Wan Shangshu looked surprised, as if what he said just now was just a casual remark, and he had no other intentions.
But all of you here are able to sit in today's position, and it is not by luck.
No one can hear it, Wan Shangshu's words just now are ostensibly persuading peace, but in fact they are accusations.
He said that Xie Yangui was brave and good at fighting, and he wanted to add a sentence "The guards under him are so bold", which implied that Xie Yangui was arrogant and domineering, so the people under him dared to use her power to kill.
Today is to kill a young general, tomorrow I may be able to do something outrageous!
"Speaking of which, this Ling Yu General is still in charge of the Prison Hall, which belongs to the Criminal Department. According to Wan Shangshu's words just now, wouldn't it be said that she Xie Yangui was so bold, but in fact, she borrowed the power of your criminal department Shangshu?"
"I have always heard that Wan Shangshu and Liu Shangshu do not deal with each other very much, and Xie Yangui's guards killed the juniors of Liu Shangshu's family...... Ouch, how do you calculate this account?"
After Jing Xiu finished speaking, she picked up the tea on the side, sighed first, and then drank the tea slowly.
"You...... You're farting!" Wan Shangshu knows Jing Xiu's temperament, but the two have worked together for many years, and they have never been like this.
He was so angry that even in front of Emperor Mingde, he couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.
Liu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry sat on the side, looking at Wan Shangshu with thoughtful eyes.
Wan Shangshu swept his gaze and pointed his finger at him again, "I have nothing to do with that Xie Yangui, your younger generation is dead, don't bite indiscriminately!"
"Wan Shangshu, Liu Shangshu hasn't spoken yet, why are you in a hurry?" Jing Xu said coolly on the side.
"Shut up!" Wan Shangshu only felt dizzy and couldn't help shouting.
Before he could say more, he heard a faint voice from the couch, "Okay."
The tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but it inexplicably sent chills down his spine.
Wan Shangshu suddenly realized that he was in front of His Majesty, but he didn't know what was wrong just now, as if he had suddenly lost his mind, and he didn't care about it at all.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is the minister who has lost his word." He broke out in a cold sweat on his back, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty to Emperor Mingde.
"Get up." is still in a light tone, and the noise just now made Emperor Mingde a little headache.
"Although there is something wrong with this matter, as Jing Qing said, that young general died unjustly, so he should be killed as an example."
In fact, before receiving these excerpts of recitals and impeachments, Emperor Mingde had already received the news that it was sent by the internal guards.
In addition, there was also a letter of plea, which was written by Xie Yangui and presented to Emperor Mingde by her house.
Regarding this letter, after Emperor Mingde read it, he did not mention it to several scholars.
"At present, the Qiannan border pass needs a main general, so don't mention this matter again." Emperor Mingde didn't know about it, and she didn't know about the letter submitted by Xie Yan to the mansion.
This letter was not written by Xie Yangui himself, but after the Fuzhong got the letter from Chang Xiu, he immediately secretly reported it to Xie Yan.
Xie Cheng made arrangements, and wrote a letter of plea in Xie Yangui's handwriting, and then submitted it to Emperor Mingde through Xie Yangui's mansion.
Xie Ji had long expected that this letter of pleading would only be seen by Emperor Mingde.
When the courtiers impeached Xie Yangui because there was a junior general in Qiannan, Emperor Mingde would continue to show his tolerance and leniency, deepening the courtiers' dissatisfaction.
That's true now.
"Your Majesty, I heard that General Ji's injuries are no longer serious, although General Ling Yu has already rushed to Qian
The southern border pass, but according to the minister's opinion, the current situation in southern Qiannan is severe, and if General Ji is sent to assist, it will be twice the result with half the effort."
Lu He stood up and saluted Emperor Mingde, everyone knew that the impeachment had now come to fruition, and they would not say more, so they echoed it.
"In this case, I will send an order to Ji Zheng and ask him to go to Qiannan as soon as possible." Emperor Mingde also had this intention, and when he saw that the ministers had opened their mouths, he seemed to think for a moment before opening his mouth and commanding.
The New Year has arrived, and both in the palace and in Kyoto are becoming more and more lively.
In previous years, most of the palace banquets were taken care of by Xie Hui, but now that she is pregnant, she handed over the matter to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.
The two mothers have never dealt with each other, so they assign the things that need to be taken care of, and each is responsible for one side.
"Master, the slave always thinks that the virtuous concubine is weird." The lady in charge of the palace who followed Concubine Shu came in from outside the hall and saluted her.
"How?" Concubine Shu raised her head and looked at her henchman.
Concubine Xian is used to pretending to be good, and she likes to make some small moves behind her back, she knows it.
She is not afraid of what Concubine Xian will do in taking care of things, after all, it is the two of them who are in charge, and no one can get out of it once something happens.
But Concubine Shu was worried that Concubine Xian would do something else, which made her unguarded.
"The slave can't say anything, she just thinks that something is wrong with the virtuous concubine. Speaking of which, didn't Niangniang have someone send a message to His Royal Highness? Do you have a reply?" Since he is Concubine Shu's confidant, he naturally knows more than others.
The lady in charge of the palace asked this, and Concubine Shu couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
She usually sends letters to the third prince, and she always gets a reply quickly, but this time is different, she has not received a reply.
"You make a trip yourself, make sure he receives the letter from this palace." After receiving the order of the concubine, the palace maid agreed, and the blessed body retreated towards the outside of the hall.
In the dark, there have been people staring at Concubine Shu's palace, and when they saw her henchman and palace maid leaving, they immediately went to report to Concubine Xian.
Outside the palace, the Third Prince's Mansion received a letter from the palace, he immediately unfolded it, took a quick look, and his face suddenly sank.
"Your Highness, what happened?" The attendant beside him asked with concern.
"The mother concubine said that the imperial doctor checked the pulse of the concubine and made sure that she was pregnant with the prince in her womb, but she was afraid that her father would establish the queen."
The letter in his hand was torn to shreds by the third prince, and he was full of unwillingness when he thought that he had planned for many years, but he might fall short.
"Your Highness, I heard that this year's palace banquet is run by the mother and the virtuous concubine together, why don't you use the palace banquet to get rid of the imperial heir in the concubine's womb, so that even if she is made the queen, it will be useless." The attendant stepped forward and gave advice to the three princes.
"No!" The third prince frowned, "If something happens to the concubine at the palace banquet, my mother will also be implicated."
"Your Highness, in order to achieve great things, some sacrifices are inevitable. If the lady knew that this would be helpful to you, she would be willing."
"Besides, if we plan this matter, we can rely on Concubine Xian for most of the reason, so that even if Concubine Shu is implicated, it will not be too serious."
The attendant knelt on the ground and earnestly persuaded the third prince, Zhou Yu.
"This is really an excellent opportunity, when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame the virtuous concubine, and the eldest prince will also be angry, and we will get rid of the imperial heir in the belly of the concubine, it is really killing two birds with one stone!"
"Your Highness, please think twice."
