Chapter 586: Court Argument (1)
On the twenty-first day of the winter month, at the beginning of the Yin period, everyone in the Han family packed up. Then Shen Hongjun and Yun Lin came to the Han family, and then everyone went towards the imperial city together.
It was still dark outside, and in the early hours of the winter moon, the cold wind gusted. The three Yun Xue sisters sat in a carriage, and Yun Zhen and the others all rode horses. Yun Xue hugged Yun Xia, who was still napping, and patted it gently.
Today's events are related to how the Han family will gain a foothold in the capital in the future. And the events of that day were also related to Yunxia, so Yunlin specially sent Yunxia back to Bofu last night.
When the eldest princess saw Yunxia leaving the palace, she cried endlessly, and she had no choice but to send the eldest princess over. At this time, the eldest princess was still asleep, but Yunxia was taken to the car, and the little guy was sleepy, so he nestled in Yunxue's arms to sleep.
Their residence was actually very close to the Imperial City, so it took only two or three quarters of an hour to come to the gate of the Imperial City.
At this moment, the corner gates on both sides of the Chengtian Gate have been opened, and the Chengtian Gate, which was destroyed a while ago because of the palace change, has been repaired intact. The courtiers dismounted their horses and dismounted their sedan chairs, and then walked into the imperial city.
Yun Lin and the others dismounted, and then helped the Yun Xue sisters out of the car. On such an occasion, it is absolutely impossible to bring a maidservant, but fortunately, Yun Xue and the others are not delicate boudoir women, so it is not so difficult.
Yun Zhen took Yun Xia, and then everyone entered the imperial city from Chengtian Gate together. Yun Xue and the others have no grade, they have to wait in the duty room, when the emperor is summoned, they can go to the palace. Fortunately, Yun Lin had already arranged it and placed Yun Xue and the others down.
Tianfu also came today, but his grade was not enough, so he just stayed to take care of Yun Xue and the others. Then Yun Lin, Shen Hongjun, and Yun Zhen came to wait in line outside the noon gate.
As soon as the hour came, the drums on the tower of the noon gate city sounded, and all the civil and military officials tidied up their clothes, and then walked through the noon gate in turn according to their grades, and came to a spacious place outside the Jinshui Bridge. At this time, an attendant shouted, "The hour has come, and the ministers will come early." ”
Only then did the civil and military officials pass through the Jinshui Bridge on both sides and came to the main hall.
Emperor Yonghui was a very diligent monarch, and he never stopped every day, and today is no exception. He sat down on the throne of the dragon, then looked at the courtiers below. "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to play?"
The officials below played one after another, and after about half an hour, the general matter was discussed.
"Yesterday, there was Liu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who participated in the loyal and brave Han family, and was disobedient and unfilial. Prince Rui and I both lived in the Han family back then, but this matter is not suitable for the Han family. Today's special purpose is to wait for the Han family to go to the palace and personally explain the events of the year. Ladies and gentlemen, let's listen to what the children of the Han family have to say. ”
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened yesterday, and many people quietly took half a step back at this time. The Han family is indeed rising rapidly, but in fact, it is not a cause for concern. After all, Han Yunzhen is now just a commander of soldiers and horses, and his position is not high, so he cannot participate in court politics.
Such a person cannot have much influence on the situation in the DPRK and China at the moment. However, the Han family produced two daughters, one of whom was going to marry Shen Hongjun, the governor of the capital, and the other was going to marry His Majesty's eldest son, Prince Rui.
The two hottest young talents of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly became the sons-in-law of the Han family, which made the civil and military ministers indignant in their hearts. Especially for those ministers who have daughters to marry in their families and are waiting for the emperor to issue an edict to choose a concubine for Prince Rui, they feel most aggrieved.
A peasant girl flew on the branches and became a phoenix, and became a prince and princess, and may be the crown princess and queen in the future. This is too unacceptable. How could they watch such a thing happen?
However, the daughter of the Han family had superb medical skills and saved the lives of Prince Rui and the emperor, and this matter had already spread among the officials. A woman who has a great kindness to the royal family, how can they refute it? It just so happened that someone revealed some things about the Han family in the Northeast at the beginning, and they were caught by many people and used it as a weapon to attack the Han family.
However, the emperor obviously loves the Han family very much. Yesterday, Liu Yushi's participation did not make the emperor make any statement, and today the Han family was allowed to go to the palace to refute. Some officials who understood the matter already knew that this matter was basically useless, so they quietly retreated, not wanting to get involved in it.
There are only some unwilling people in their hearts, who are still gearing up at the moment, wanting to give the Han family a thunderous blow above the court. At least you can't let the status of the princess fall directly on the head of the Han family's daughter.
At this time, there were chamberlains who announced the rest of the Han family to the main hall. Yun Xue and Yun Ni each held Yun Xia's hand and walked in the middle, surrounded by clouds and thunder, as well as Tianfu, and the group came to the court in this way.
The civil and military officials had only seen Yun Zhen, and most of them had never seen the rest of the Han family's children. At this time, they all turned their heads and carefully looked at the young men and women who came in from outside.
I saw that there were six people in this line, but they were all outstanding, and they didn't look like rough and uncivilized countrymen at all. The three boys, with clear eyebrows and tall postures, stood there, like green pines and cypresses, calm and composed. In the face of this civil and military official, there was no embarrassment at all, and this alone had already made these treacherous and cunning officials nod.
Looking at the three women in the middle, although they are low-eyebrowed, they are also very calm. I don't see the shyness and anxiety of the boudoir woman, and there is no small family spirit of a country woman.
The three girls are all beautiful, even if the youngest one is only five or six years old, there is a faint shadow of a peerless beauty.
A cute little girl like a snow ball, with big eyes and a little hazy. I saw so many people, but I was not afraid at all, standing beside the two sisters, not hiding or hiding, and letting everyone look at me.
The big eyes didn't know what they saw, and the little girl suddenly laughed. The little girl's smile is like a spring flower, and the two deep dimples on the cheeks are even more lined with the flesh of the little face, which makes people want to go up and pinch it twice.
And the two sisters beside her, one is like the scorching sun, bright and bright, and the other is like a bright moon, gentle and moist. Obviously, there are many similarities in appearance, but because of different temperaments, they give people a completely different feeling. These two women are unforgettable.
The ministers were surprised, no matter how they were, they couldn't have imagined that the woman of the Han family would be born so well. No wonder, no wonder it can attract such outstanding men as Shen Hongjun and Prince Rui.
There are those who are amazed, those who are envious, and those who are jealous, and all kinds of emotions are tumbling in the hearts of everyone.
At this time, everyone in the Han family knelt down in unison, bowed three times and bowed nine times, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Emperor Yonghui waved his hand and asked the children of the Han family to get up, and then said, "Yesterday, there was a history of the official and the emperor, when you were waiting in the countryside, you once contradicted your grandparents and were not filial to your parents. Today, it just so happens that all the civil and military officials are here, and you are really allowed to argue on the spot. If you really sit down against your elders and are not filial to your elders, you will be punished heavily. ”
Yun Xue and the others all stood up and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”
At this time, Yun Zhen took the lead in standing up, after all, he had an official position, and he should be the one to complain. Yun Zhen began to talk about how their grandparents and a relative bullied Han Yong and his wife when they returned to the village from other places. It was talked about until Han Yong's accident, Liu Ziyun was born prematurely and collapsed, leaving a small Yunxia and then died.
"Your Majesty, at that time, the grandparents disliked that Yunxia was the disaster of the father and mother, and they had to drown the sister. If the sister refuses, she will speak against her grandparents. It's helpless, if it weren't for that, the courtier's sister would have died a long time ago. ”
After Yun Zhen finished speaking, he looked back at Yun Xia, "Sister Chen is so cute, where is the disaster star?" Over the years, Sister Chen has taken us and raised my sister, and nothing bad has happened, but the life of the Han family is getting better and better. Chen's little sister, how can it be a disaster? Do you think you should die of such a female doll? ”
The ministers looked at the innocent, beautiful and cute little girl, and they also agreed with Yun Zhen's words. With such a cute little doll, who would bear to let her die?
"The past that Uncle Zhong Yongbo said is indeed sympathetic. But these are not enough to erase the guilt of the Han family's daughter, contradicting their grandparents, and disobedience and unfilial piety. Your Majesty, the minister believes that the Han family is like this, it is a great unfilial piety, and it is really of poor character, not enough to be an official in the court. That Liu Yushi stood up again at this time and said loudly.
Yun Zhen was not a clever person to speak, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, "Liu Yushi's words, do you want my eldest sister to agree with my grandfather and grandmother to drown my little sister?" That's our own sister, a newborn little girl, is Liu Yushi so inhumane? ”
That Liu Yushi shook his head, "What does this matter have to do with human nature?" Since ancient times, filial piety is greater than heaven. The words of grandparents should not be violated, and disobedience to the words of elders is unfilial piety. In ancient times, there was Guo Ju's buried son, his own son, who could still be given up for his parents and fulfill filial piety. Why did Sister Ling go against her grandparents' wishes and have to keep the baby girl? ”
"What Liu Yushi said is very true, Guo Ju buried his children, and achieved filial piety through the ages. Why can't Sister Ling follow the example of the sages? You have to contradict your grandparents, rebel against human morality, and be disobedient and unfilial. Such a character is really a country woman, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall. At this time, another person also chimed in.
Several officials also expressed their stance at this time, and they all supported Liu Yushi's words.
Liu Yushi's words made everyone in the Han family angry, and Yun Zhen, Yun Ting and others all looked at him angrily. However, I don't know how to argue with it.
"Your Majesty, my lords, can you listen to the little girl?" At this time, Yun Xue suddenly said loudly.
