Chapter 63: Cover-up
Zhao Hui's people were one step slower after all.
Sinan Sibei exhausted three horses along the way, and took Danyang Dao and Liang Yuan to the capital.
King Guangping misses Fu Rudi very much these days.
Fu Rudi is not there, he has to go to the government office every day to be on duty, and the chicken feathers that can't be dealt with are trivial things. I just sat down in the yamen today, and I didn't have time to make a cup of hot tea, when I suddenly saw Sinan Sibei running back in a panic.
"Lord Wang!"
"Huh? How did you guys get back? King Guangping looked around, "What about Master Fu?" ”
Sinan Sibei immediately brought Danyang Daoren and Liang Yuan to the front of the hall, and handed over Fu Rudi's handwritten letter to King Guangping. The second monk of Guangping Wang Zhangzhang was confused, he tore open the letter and looked at the contents, and his originally white and chubby and ruddy face turned white in an instant.
King Guangping's hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly.
He looked at Danyang Daoren in disbelief, and then at Liang Yuan, as if he had been drained of strength, and sat down on the chair. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly hid his face and cried bitterly, "Brother, you are confused, you are confused!" ”
Sinan and Si Bei glanced at each other, didn't dare to speak, and could only bury their heads low.
King Guangping hung his feet and cried for a long time, waved his hand and said: "That's it, this matter is not something that Master Fu can handle, let me change my clothes and enter the palace to face the saint." As for these two people...... his always kind gaze turned hateful at this moment, "put these two in a prison and strictly guarded!" ”
"Yes!"
King Guangping sorted out his emotions, pinched a handkerchief, and sat on the sedan chair entering the palace. When he arrived at the noon gate, he got off the sedan chair and cried all the way to the imperial study.
Emperor Jianming was also surprised when he heard the news, and couldn't wait to let the eunuch Bingbi invite people into the house.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? I'm not afraid to make jokes with the minions in the palace! ”
"Brother Huang, ......"
When King Guangping saw that he couldn't hold back any longer, he cried out with a "wow". He waved away the eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right, "You all go down!" ”
When there were only two of his brothers in the study, King Guangping handed Fu Rudi's letter to Emperor Jianming. In this way, King Chengnan's collusion to bribe officials, mutilation of children, women and children, lawlessness in the fiefdom, indiscriminate killing of innocents, and listening to demonic slander were all exposed in front of Emperor Jianming.
King Guangping cried: "My brother, he has committed these unspeakable crimes, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the heavy punishment. Brother Royal...... Let's see how you decide. ”
He cried for a long time, and Emperor Jianming didn't say a word.
King Guangping quietly glanced at Emperor Jianming through his fingers. found that his expression was faint, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Emperor Jianming slowly folded Fu Rudi's letter and pressed it on Minghuang's desk with a pen. After a long pause, he said, "...... Now I only have you and his two brothers left, and Fu Rudi has never made a noise about this matter, so it is better to forget it. ”
The cry of the king of Quang Binh was paused.
He raised his eyes in dismay, "Forget it? ”
"Well, you go to Yunzhou and warn Lao Qi not to do this in the future. Forget about this time, how about everyone turn a blind eye? Emperor Jianming raised his hand, gently stroked the beard on his chin, and recalled that year, "When I was young, there were many brothers and sisters, but you and I had the best relationship." Lao Qi and your mother are compatriots, and they don't walk around diligently on weekdays, and they are also biological brothers in the end. I had also heard about his head disease, and I only sent some supplements, but I never expected it to be so serious, and I was incompetent as an imperial brother. ”
King Quang Binh's expression was unpredictable.
After a long time, he stood up, "Imperial brother, if the seventh brother knew that you were so tolerant of him, he would be grateful. I'll go back to pack my luggage and rush to Yunzhou to teach him a good lesson. This kind of thing must not be done again in the future. He not only provoked the royal majesty, but also chilled the hearts of the people of the world. ”
"Hmm...... Let's not take this as an example. Emperor Jianming sighed meaningfully.
He handed Fu Rudi's letter to the king of Guangping and "burned it." Finally, he said, "Go and deal with the two people in the prison." ”
"I understand."
King Quang Binh bowed his head and left.
He walked out of the imperial study, his red eyes a little distracted from crying. Xu was thinking about it, but he unconsciously took a fork in the road, and almost bumped into someone head-on.
The person who came helped his chubby body and said with concern: "Uncle Wang, why are you free to come to the palace today?" ”
The delicate voice recalls the sanity of King Quang Binh.
When he looked closely, he actually collided with Zhao Yuyi.
"Hehe, come and talk to the imperial brother...... I went back. Zhaofu, you keep playing. ”
Zhao Yuyi frowned.
How did he, Uncle Wang, lose his soul, and his preface didn't match the afterword.
At this moment, she saw a page of letter paper on the ground, picked it up and said, "Uncle Wang, your things have dropped." Everyone is curious, Zhao Yuyi swept the contents of the letter paper and froze.
King Quang Binh immediately ran over, snatched the letter paper, and stuffed it into his arms.
His expression was different, and Zhao Yuyi was not a fool.
Thinking of the content on the letter, she stomped her foot and stopped King Guangping and said, "Uncle Wang! You came to your father because of this, right? Such a big case, what does my father say?! ”
"Don't ask about the affairs of the imperial court."
"It's about King Chengnan, how can it only be regarded as government affairs?" Zhao Yuyi was chattering endlessly, she stopped King Guangping from leaving, "If Uncle Wang doesn't tell me what happened today, don't blame me for making a fuss." ”
"You girl......"
King Guangping is a good man, and he should get used to it.
He had no choice but to stomp his feet, so he had to tell her about King Chengnan. King Guangping sighed, "That's it, the imperial brother has stopped pursuing it, and you don't make a public announcement." It's rotten in the stomach, it's all a family......"
"Who wants to be with his family?!" Zhao Yuyi was furious, "Uncle Wang! Have you forgotten the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet back then? ”
"Ah......h
King Guangping's chubby face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, with a bitter face.
That was seven or eight years ago.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the palace, Zhao Hui drank too much, and when he went to the toilet, he happened to meet Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing is a famous beauty in the world, first-class and stunning, Zhao Hui paralyzed his brain with alcohol for a while, and openly made a dissolute behavior of molesting his sister-in-law. This incident made Emperor Jianming furious, but it was a matter of royal face, and Emperor Jianming privately punished Zhao Hui and drove him out of the capital. So much so that for so many years, he has not been allowed to go to Beijing for a reunion.
I thought that Zhao Hui's crime would be punished by Emperor Jianming, but I didn't expect that he would forgive Zhao Hui with a light sentence of "don't take it as an example". The lives of the missing children in Qiongzhou, the officials who bribed and colluded, and the various crimes in Yunzhou were not as serious as the crimes of molesting Concubine Jing back then.
The more Zhao Yuyi thought about it, the more angry she became.
She complained about her mother, and she was even more angry at Emperor Jianming's ignorance.
Zhao Yuyi's temper couldn't be endured at all, she took the letter, turned around and ran to the imperial study. Where can a big fat man catch up with King Guangping, "Zhaofu!" Zhaofu! What are you going to do? Don't be impulsive! ”
"You don't care!"
Seeing that Zhao Yuyi ran away without a trace, King Guangping held his knees and gasped on the spot. Looking at the corner where Zhao Yuyi disappeared, the corners of her drooping mouth rose slightly at this moment.
