Chapter 1346: Feng Mei's Case
Regarding the headless and brainless, but strange thing that happened in Zichen Garden, Wei Haichi certainly would not leave it behind because he was unharmed, but under the perseverance of the Queen Mother, Ren Yaoguang insisted that she had indeed witnessed the "green and red ghosts", and dozens of black shadows were rushing towards her, and she felt that her head was banging, and her soul was out of her body and unconscious.
And because of the exclamation that day, the group of secret guards who rushed to the scene did not find any clues, if according to Ren's and Lu Yuan's confessions, so many people pretended to be ghosts, how could there be no traces? At this moment, even many secret guards suspect that maybe it is really a ghost that is not gone, leading to the day of hell.
Unexpectedly, only Xiao Xiaojiu was present at that time, first made Lu Yuan mislead Ren, and then succeeded in the ambush, tapping the acupoint, causing Ren to be confused, and then using the technique of sleep destruction to confuse his mind and scare Ren alive, naturally he could leave no traces, and after Ren woke up, he also witnessed the ghost.
It's a pity that Ju Shinan has mastered this technique of destroying sleep and "soul dementoring", and he can't confuse everyone at the same time, and there are certain restrictions, otherwise, Xiao Xiaojiu doesn't need to waste Zhou Zhang so much, and he must use Nan Qiao and Lu Yuan to help.
Empress Dowager Wei was skeptical, but what was more biased was that someone was pretending to be a ghost, and the main messenger was Eleven Niang, but what made her puzzled was why Eleven Niang abolished Zhou Zhang, but did not cause any damage?
Can't the queen be idle and panic and make this farce, just to scare Ren Yaoguang?
Until Lu Yuan resigned, Nan Qiao suddenly became estranged, and Wei Haichi was even more convinced that this matter was definitely not a manifestation of an unjust soul, and there must be a conspiracy inside.
But after that day, except for Nan Qiao and Lu Yuan, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
In this life, after living for sixty years, Wei Haichi has also experienced a lot of people, and there are few paradoxes that she can't see through, but this time it is really like falling into five clouds, and she doesn't know the context at all.
If it is said that Eleven Niang is dissatisfied with her taking advantage of the imperial garden to set up a banquet and show off her might, she will definitely use the haunting incident to arouse public opinion, but after a long time, the outside world has not heard of this paradoxical thing, and she can't do this, just to defeat her interest?
Wei Haichi didn't believe that the queen would be so naΓ―ve.
When she couldn't figure it out, and there was no way to investigate, Empress Dowager Wei had to put this matter on hold for the time being, not to mention that it didn't take long for another sudden incident that touched her sensitive nerves.
It's not a big deal to say - at least in the eyes of Empress Dowager Wei, it's completely negligible.
Many years before the incident, the bitter master was in Chang'an City, a family in Xiuzheng Fang, the head of the family was surnamed Feng, the name was beautiful, and he was a gentleman when he was young, because his grandfather also worshipped the scholars in the official, although he was not a big family, but he also had a lot of property. However, this Feng Mei, who was dedicated to gambling and playing, did not want to make progress, and soon sold most of the property, leaving only one house, and renting out half of it to others for rent, as a job.
But the ancestors still left a lot of famous calligraphy and paintings, although Feng Mei said that he was a loser, he had not sold them out, especially those few beautiful pictures, how could he not be willing to transfer.
Later, because of the lack of livelihood, he gradually quit gambling and married the daughter of a commoner.
But the habit of hobbing to travel, but has never quit, often people of wine and meat, come to Feng Mei's house to drink, Feng Mei repeatedly put the only remaining beauty picture, show the show, reminiscing back then, how prominent the family background was.
I don't want to burn myself.
It is one of the disciples of wine and meat, and Guanglu Cheng Zheng Tang has a friendship relationship, this disciple of wine and meat, and knows that Zheng Tang prefers to collect beauty pictures, just Feng Mei's private collection, it is indeed drawn by a famous artist, very precious, hurriedly informed, and volunteered, lobbying Feng Mei to transfer the private collection.
Where is Feng Mei happy? A bite of refusal.
Zheng Tang is a member of Xie Raoping's party, although he does not occupy an important position, how can he put Feng Meijie in white clothes in his eyes? When he couldn't ask for it, he had the intention of taking it by force, so he asked his son Zheng Hui to write an IOU and do something of robbery in the name of debt collection.
Feng Mei's private collection was seized, and she was even beaten by a humiliation, and she was so angry that she had no way to sue, and finally died of depression.
Now it is Feng Ji, the son of Feng Mei, who suddenly went to Wannian County to beat the drum and voice the grievances, accusing Zheng Hui of hurting people, resulting in the tragic death of his father.
After many years, Feng Ji has only had another attack now, and the father of the person who complained has been promoted by Xie Raoping, and now he is no longer just a mere Guanglucheng, and has been promoted to the Ministry of Works, which belongs to Shangshu Province.
Empress Dowager Wei didn't believe in coincidence, and expected that this must be from Eleven Niang's counterattack.
So he urgently met with Xie, Wei and others, and gave a face-to-face lecture, and explained that Zheng Hui must be sure that Feng Mei did write down an IOU back then, and Feng Mei voluntarily used paintings to pay off debts, Feng Mei was seriously ill and died, and his son Feng Ji was falsely accused of being a child of the official family.
Before the impeachment of the imperial history, Xie and Wei fought with the queen on the court, Zheng Hui actually confessed, it was indeed his act of robbery, robbing Feng Mei's private collection, but he was forced to be helpless, because his father Zheng Tang, at first ordered his eldest son Zheng Yi to do evil, Zheng Yi felt that plundering others was shameless and illegal, and knelt down to persuade his father not to do evil things, which angered Zheng Tang, and actually scolded his eldest son to death!
Zheng Hui was originally just a concubine, but seeing that even the eldest brother ended up like this, how could she dare to disobey her father's orders? So they had to do what they were told.
This case immediately aroused the indignation of many officials, and Zheng Tang was impeached one after another.
Xie Raoping had to defend the party members, saying that Zheng Hui's accusation against his father was a major crime of unfilial piety and should be executed, and his confession should not be accepted.
Who knew that Zheng Tang's wife, that is, Zheng Yi's mother, who was beaten to death by her father, knelt outside the Danfeng Gate and presented a blood letter to confirm Zheng Tang's crime.
Xie Rao was so reluctant that he could only plead, saying that the son rebelled against his father first, and the father's reprimand did not violate the law of etiquette, even if he missed for a while, he was severely punished and died, which was manslaughter, and according to the law of the Great Zhou, he would not be held accountable; In the Feng Mei case, the looter was Zheng Hui, not Zheng Tang, so Zheng Hui should pay for his life, and Zheng Tang should not be held accountable.
This is simply a strong rhetoric, which has caused many officials to criticize, Feng Jizheng has the heart to help, but he is worried that he is also contaminated with sewage, so he still sits on the wall and watches.
Seeing that Chi'er was quite eager to try, Eleven Niang didn't make a decision first, but asked: "If the prince has an opinion, he may wish to express it, even if there are deficiencies, you can correct them in time." β
The gossip in the palace suddenly quieted down, and all of them listened to what the prince had to say, but only Wei Yuanping was still muttering, although the voice was not loud, but because of the sudden silence around, many people still heard his questioning.
"The crown prince has not been enlightened for a long time, and he is young and young, thinking that Emperor Mu Zong, at such an age, the queen mother is never allowed to talk about political affairs with childish words."
Lin Xi immediately retorted: "The prince has not yet spoken, how can Wei Xiang conclude that he is ignorant? Emperor Mu Zongmo said that the age of early childhood is enough to get married, and the queen mother is still unwilling to hand over power, which is a fallacy for the harem to abuse the country, and Wei Xiang still uses it as a flaunt? ! β
"You, you dare to ......" Wei Yuanping wanted to angrily reprimand Lin Xi for slander.
"Wei Xiangguo, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty never condemn speech, such as Wei Xiangguo in the past, he often contradicted Mu Zong, and he has no king, how can he limit speech? If it is really a crime, Wei Xiangguo is afraid at this time and is not above the court, when the queen mother is in power, there are many words and officials to impeach, advocating that the queen mother should hand over power, and Mu Zong will govern in person, otherwise it will be an attempt to rebel against the country, even the queen mother is afraid of this loyal and upright advice, and dare not ignore the etiquette and law. Eleven Niang said coldly.
Empress Dowager Wei is an old traitor who trespasses the country, this is the consensus of the world, is it just because she is the queen mother, she can do whatever she wants lawlessly, even if she is defeated, she is not allowed to be condemned by public opinion?
Besides, the reason why Shi Niang used Zheng Tang to open the knife is to restrict the so-called right of parents to respect elders, otherwise Empress Dowager Wei, as the mother of the Son of Heaven, will not say that she will punish crimes, and it is unfilial to criticize both sentences.
It's also time for the court and the subjects to reach a consensus that filial piety must not be a killer in the hands of some people, let alone a card to avoid death!
Chi Er was not stage frightened, and raised his voice: "Since Wei Xiang believes that Gu is ignorant, then after Gu remarks, please ask Wei Xiang to correct him first." β
