Chapter 63: Beating the Drums

Wei Yan originally wanted to communicate with An Ruo on this night, but the truth didn't give him a chance at all.

General Wei Yan, who had just been kicked out of bed, stood up, and Gonggong Yan hurriedly knocked on the door of the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Jingzhao Mansion Yin came to report, today there is an old lady who claims to be the palace maid who served the lady in the cold palace at the beginning, she, she sued the emperor that she was not the first emperor dragon species."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and An Ruo sat up and asked, "This kind of person, this kind of thing, why did Jingzhao Mansion report it instead of directly imprisoning people?" ”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and after sorting out his clothes, he asked Father-in-law Yan to come in and reply.

Returning to Niangniang's words, Jingzhao Mansion Yin said that the woman did not submit the pleadings in accordance with the normal complaint process, but beat the Dengwen drum in public, and shouted while knocking, which was already known to everyone. After Jingzhao Mansion Yin learned about this, although he brought people into the yamen as soon as possible, presumably the folk rumors are no longer controllable now. ”

That's to be prepared, but what's the point of turning over old accounts for this kind of indescribable old thing?

Wei Yan saw An Ruo's face full of curiosity, and said with a smile: "Since you are curious, why don't you go with me?" ”

An Ruo's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up from the bed and followed Wei Yan to the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, she hid behind the screen and didn't let Jingzhao Mansion Yin notice it.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin obviously had a headache for such a thing, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but when people sued him, it was known to everyone, and he could only consider himself unlucky. Whoever let him be careless, let everyone know what he was told outside.

"Your Majesty, at the end of Shen Shi today, there was an old woman Kang who beat the Dengwen drum, saying that she was the palace maid who served the first emperor Shufei Niangniang back then, and sued the first emperor Shufei Niangniang for fornicating with outsiders, and the son born to her was not orthodox in the royal family."

"And then?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at Wei Yan with a little surprise when he heard this, but when he saw Wei Yan staring at him, he quickly lowered his head, and the sweat on his face became even more.

Then the minister briefly asked Kang's family, who said that she was a second-class maid in the palace of Concubine Niangniang, and later after Concubine Niangniang was convicted, she was assigned to the Huanyi Bureau, and it was not until the year when the emperor ascended the throne that she was pardoned out of the palace to marry. This woman had asked the guards to put her in prison and put her under strict guard, so she hurried into the palace to report to the emperor. ”

Wei Yan asked, "Can you verify Kang's identity?" They have already left the palace to get married, why did they suddenly sue for this? What evidence is provided, or is it empty and white-toothed, nonsense? ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin's sweat slid down his face, and he said, "The minister is in a hurry, and he didn't ask in detail." ”

Wei Yan let out a long sigh, and then asked, "Gonggong Yan, what time is it?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it's already a moment."

"In two hours, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is really efficient, so apart from asking, what did Jingzhao Mansion Yin use to do at other times?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin buried his head lower, it is a matter of royal blood, he has selfish intentions, and he also notified the clan during this time, and he thinks that the person who is coming is about to arrive, so he can't say it.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui, Prince Xian, and Prince Yong, the patriarchs of the clan, ask to see you."

Wei Yan looked at Jingzhao Mansion Yin's gaze with a coolness, and said: "It turned out that I went to inform the clan, no wonder Jingzhao Mansion doesn't know anything, it seems that the case has not yet been tried, and you have already determined that I am not a true dragon bloodline." ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin kowtowed again and again, saying that he didn't dare.

Wei Yan didn't pay any attention to Jingzhao Mansion Yin anymore, and asked Gonggong Yan to invite several princes in.

Led by Prince Rui, the three of them bowed to Wei Yan very well.

"A few imperial uncles came to me so late, but for the case of someone in Jingzhao Mansion beating the drum today? Several imperial uncles are really well-informed. ”

Wei Yan's sarcasm and fools could hear it, and several princes could also calm down.

Prince Rui took the lead and said: "There have been rumors before, talking about the problem of the emperor's true dragon bloodline, and now there are people beating the drum, if this is not true, or someone is deliberately murdering, the minister thinks that the emperor should strictly investigate this matter to clean up the hearing." ”

An Ruo secretly applauded this Prince Rui when he heard this, he was worthy of being the patriarch of the royal family, this was said to be extremely level, attacking and retreating, which seemed very fair.

"Uncle Huang means to make a big deal about it?"

Prince Rui said: "The emperor's bloodline is questioned, this is a fundamental matter related to the country, and it cannot be neglected. ”

Prince Rui raised his head and glanced at Wei Yan carefully, his voice changed, and he continued: "What's more, this matter has already caused a storm in the city, rather than continuing to be criticized, it is better to investigate it in a dignified manner and set the record straight." Of course, this is also the opinion of the entire clan. ”

It stands to reason that in this kind of matter, if the emperor's control of the harem of the former dynasty has reached absolute, the clan will never dare to make such a suggestion.

After all, even if the matter is finally clarified, it will be an insult to the reigning emperor, unless the clan is sure to pull this emperor down.

And what will be the ending of the emperor who was pulled off the horse, An Ruo looked at Wei Yan with a little worry.

Wei Yan looked extremely calm, and after holding the paperweight for a while, he said with a smile: "In this case, I can't stop the decision of the sect even if I want to come, I don't know who your imperial uncle is going to let review this case?" ”

Prince Rui and the three glanced at each other, and Prince Rui hesitated: "Why don't the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Jingzhao Mansion be tried, and then the ministers and the other three will personally supervise it?" ”

Wei Yan didn't speak, and Gonggong Yan said first: "Prince Rui doesn't know, just now Jingzhao Mansion Yin asked the emperor to resign because of his unfavorable affairs, and the emperor has already approved it. ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin raised his head with a shocked face, then shook his body and knelt on the ground again, and said with a dejected face: "That's right, Jingzhao Mansion has no management now, I'm afraid it's not suitable to participate in this matter." ”

"Add the Supervision Yuan, it's just the sect's side, so I don't have to bother Prince Xian and Prince Yong, Uncle Rui Wang can do it alone, I trust you."

This sentence of "trust" obviously came to Prince Rui's heart, and he immediately patted his chest and settled down regardless of the faces of Prince Xian and Prince Yong.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang will definitely help you keep an eye on it!"

Prince Rui's appearance made An Ruo laugh, and when she tried to cover the laughter on her lips with her hand, the table on her wrist slammed into the chair with a crisp sound.

"Who's behind?"

Prince Yong looked at the screen with a dark face, An Ruo pursed his mouth, glared at the bracelet fiercely, and walked out helplessly.

Before An Ruo could speak, Wei Yan introduced: "This is Concubine Ding, these three are Prince Rui, Prince Yong and Prince Xian, you must have seen it at the birthday banquet that day." ”

These words were as natural as an ordinary family banquet, and the tense atmosphere was relieved, and An Ruo saluted the three princes politely, and stood behind Wei Yan with his head bowed.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, why is Concubine Ding here?"

"Uncle Huang didn't look at the current hour, Concubine Ding came to invite me to Zhaoyang Palace, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, so I had to hide behind the screen. An Ruo, quickly apologize to Uncle Yongwang. ”

An Ruo bowed his head and saluted: "Uncle Yongwang, it's the concubine who is rude." ”

Prince Yong snorted heavily, obviously not planning to let An Ruo go like this, and wanted to vent his anger at Wei Yan's neglect of him just now on this favorite concubine.

"Why should Brother Yonghuang bother with the concubine, not to mention the concubine Niangniang's assistant harem, he must have heard of this matter, and he has never expressed any opinions in the palace. The hour is not early, presumably the emperor also has to rest, why don't we retire! ”

Fang Ce's relief made An Ruo seem to return to the scene in Taifu's Mansion that day, and couldn't help but smile gratefully at Fang Ce.

Prince Rui also followed and persuaded two words, and the three of them retired from Wei Yan.

An Ruo watched the three of them leave, and when he turned around, he saw Wei Yan staring at him tightly.

"Concubine Ding smiled so sweetly just now, it's not early, Concubine Ding will rest in the Qianqing Palace!"
