On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhangfu became famous again, and it could be called a sensation in the city.

The things sent in the palace were held into the Ningxiang Pavilion under the noses of everyone in the Zhang Mansion, which was even more beautiful than the heyday of the Zhang family, when the old lady was there.

However, this honor and face only belong to the Ningxiang Pavilion, and have nothing to do with the Zhang Mansion. When people who met acquaintances talked about the scenery that night, they only said: Your eldest lady is really a heroine among women, that is, the old lady of your family has no eyes and does not know the real Buddha......

was embarrassed, and said even more shamelessly.

After the Spring Festival, there was another heavy snowfall, and a major event occurred on the first day of the restoration of the early dynasty of the imperial court.

The gate of the palace was full of people, and everyone's face was full of anger, and he raised a stamped piece of paper in his hand, and shouted in his mouth:

"Give us back our official positions and pay us money."

"The dignified court actually did this kind of unsightly deception to cheat money."

……

Among the first few people, there is an elderly man over sixty years old, none other than Wang Peilan's father.

Zhang Chengzhong and Wang Peilan squeezed through the crowd, rushed over to the old man, grabbed him, Wang Peilan said: "Dad, what are you doing here, come home with me." ”

The old man shook off her hand and said angrily, "I won't go back, I have to ask for an explanation today." ”

Zhang Chengzhong was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Father-in-law, you are a person with an official rank, how can you mess around with them, you will affect your family like this." ”

The old man snapped and threw the piece of paper in his face: "You are embarrassed to say that my official was recommended by you, and I also gave you the silver, but now it is good, the promotion of the good three levels has become only one promotion, you pay me the silver, and I will pay for my official position." ”

Zhang Chengzhong was stunned, the surroundings were in a mess, and he didn't care about being decent or not, and shouted: "When did you say that it was a third-level level, obviously you can only recommend a promotion to the next level, this is the charter of the official system, are you confused." ”

When the people around heard this, they were furious:

"Why can't it, it is clear that the black letters on the paper are written really, three levels, how can it be promulgated and there is only one level."

"That's right, we're giving you the silver of a third-level official position."

"Here's the proof, see for yourself."

Zhang Chengzhong took the notes they kept in their hands, and sure enough, some wrote the third level, some wrote the second level, and almost none of them were promoted to the first level.

How is this possible? He hadn't figured it out yet, Wang Peilan over there had a weak heart, snatched his father's note, pulled him and said, "Let's go home first, don't mess around here, let's talk about it when we go home." ”

Zhang Chengzhong understood a little at this time, and hurriedly stopped Wang Peilan: "Wait, you can show me our father's note." ”

Wang Peilan hid her things behind her and said, "Let's go home, let's talk about it." ”

At this time, the palace gate opened, and there was a rumbling sound of iron horse Jingo, and the seventh prince Li Luancheng led the Imperial Forest Army on both sides and surrounded everyone in the middle.

Yes, I can't go if I want to.

In court, Emperor Xiaochun personally tried the case only to find that things were more complicated than imagined.

More than half of the people's official positions have been promoted to the second and third levels, and the bottom files left by the household department are still the same as the notes in the hands of those people, in black and white, clearly written: promotion to the second level, promotion to the third level.

However, the money that went into the treasury did not match.

This is not as simple as tampering with the holy decree without permission, greedy for the treasury, and the crime is added to the first degree.

The third child, Li Luanyi, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, someone must have framed his son, his son has always been timid, he will never be so bold, his father saves his son." ”

Emperor Xiaochun said angrily: "Why didn't I see that you are cowardly, such a big thing, you say, besides you, who else can intervene, and who wants to harm you?" ”

The third child knelt down a few steps and grabbed the old father's clothes, and cried bitterly: "The son is incompetent, and the son doesn't know who did it." But the father, the son has been doing nothing since he was a child, he does not have the courage of the eldest brother, nor the strategy of the second brother, nor does he have the force of the fifth and seventh children, it is better to please the eighth child to please the father and the emperor......"

The more I talked, the more sad I became, the more sad I became, and I sobbed: "My son is incompetent, my son only dares to stand behind them, this is the first time my son has stood in front, and I don't want to make it like this, those are really not written by my son, that silver, my son is not greedy for ink......"

The third child completely collapsed, once this crime is implemented, it will be a capital crime of beheading, but who told him to only care about great achievements, not to do things well and without the slightest defense.

Many things, not that you will be good if you do a good job, the whole process needs to be rigorous, strict, and strictly controlled.

There was no one in the court to speak for him.

Shen Zhen's heart is cold, Li Luansong is right, if he doesn't check for the third child in the back, I'm afraid this time, the third child will be in a catastrophe.

In that case, let's do it quickly.

Shen Qu took a step forward, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father, the son has committed the sin of cutting first and then playing this time, and I also ask my father to wait for the son to finish his words before punishing the crime." ”

"Bang Bang Bang" three sounds, knocked Emperor Xiaochun's heart blood pressure increased, and his face was red with anger, "Say, you say." ”

"The third child is in charge of the household department, and the directories and account books that he has personally registered should be locked in the duty room of the household department, and after the three-day official system is over, it will be handed over to the emperor's desk together with all the folds, and the matter will be closed."

Li Luansong glanced at Li Luanyi, and the third child nodded bitterly.

"The key to the household duty room is only available to Li Luanyi, but the right to fold Zhu is in the hands of the second brother."

At this point, there was no need to say anything more before someone jumped out at once, and Li Luanfeng said angrily:

"What do you mean, big brother, this is saying that I have done something."

Shen said: "You, no? ”

Li Luanfeng said naturally no, "What does this matter have to do with me." ”

Sure enough, Shen did bring two groups of witnesses to the court, one was Wang Peilan, Zhang Chengzhong and her father, and the other was one of the many troublemakers.

In the face of the facts, Wang Peilan finally told the truth, her husband Zhang Chengzhong's recommendation letter did only write "level 1", it was that day she listened to the suggestion and secretly changed "one" to "three", which led to today's incident.

The testimony of another person was the same, and he also took out Li Luanfeng's handwritten note to buy people's hearts, and the man said: "Your Excellency will first tamper with the notes in our hands, and then he will also change the account books and lists." ”

Li Luanfeng was angry and shouted: "You framed me, I didn't leave a note at all, and I still need to do these things myself......"

In a hurry, he said that he had leaked his mouth.

Emperor Xiaochun was extremely disappointed: "Second child, it's you again, it's still you." ”

Li Luanfeng was like a great enemy, and knelt down with a "plop" and said: "Father, son, it's not like this, son-in-law has no ......"

"Nothing?" Emperor Xiaochun was furious, and raised his hand to slap Li Luanfeng in the face, "You, you framed your brother three times and twice, and dragged down the fifth child, why?" Didn't your father give you enough? Do you really want their lives? ”

The spearhead was pointed at the second prince, and the courtiers who supported the second child stood up to speak for him, saying that the third prince did not do his own thing well and splashed dirty water on the second prince; It is said that since the eldest prince knows everything and why he sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, can't he say it earlier; It is also said that who knows everything about things from beginning to end but does not say a word, just waiting for this time to stand up and stand out from the crowd and kill everyone......

They are all readers, their mouths are too sharp, and their ability to reverse black and white is the pinnacle.

This man is so bad that even his bowels are black.

The people who were attacked naturally couldn't sit idly by, although there were not many people who helped the third child speak, but there were not a few people who stood on the boss's side.

"Papapapa" Emperor Xiaochun's palms were red, and this group of people reacted, His Majesty was angry, oops, how did he lose his temper so far, he was so devoted, he retracted his ugly faces one by one, and returned to his old and solemn posture, kneeling and leaning over, and no one spoke.

"You ...... When is this a wet market? Emperor Xiaochun was angry, "Are you going to be angry?" ”

At this time, a little eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the queen mother and the concubine ask to see you." ”

"Huh." Emperor Xiaochun smiled angrily, "It's not enough to make a mess, and there are two more to add to the chaos." ”

I wanted to say: The women above the court are not allowed to interfere in politics, so they were sent away, but it was too late, and the two ladies pointed their noses and scolded and had already entered the court.

What is used to is what I am used to.

Emperor Xiaochun was silent.

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......"

"Your Majesty, it's amazing."

Before the queen finished speaking, she was intercepted by the concubine, and she cried for a while, and the beauty cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain and the liver and intestines were broken, forcing Emperor Xiaochun to look up at them.

"What kind of chaos are you two coming to make again, the harem can't ......"

"Do you want to do politics?" The concubine stopped crying suddenly, interrupted him, and said indignantly: "What the concubine wants to say is not a state affair, but a family affair. ”

"Family matters will be discussed in the next court." Emperor Xiaochun was impatient.

"No, the concubine will expose Li Luansong's true face in front of everyone."

The concubine seemed to have got some reliable handle, and pointed to Shen Zhengyi and said sternly: "Li Luansong, the king of Jin, seduced his wife, first had a private meeting at the lotus banquet, and then made a private appointment to meet separately, the two have been reconciled for a long time, and the concubine still has witnesses. ”

The concubine was convincing, and after speaking, she gave her son a look, that means, look at it, this is a sure win.

What a mess, every day, Emperor Xiaochun almost wanted to run to his father's spiritual throne and cry: The son is too difficult!

Passing on witnesses, Emperor Xiaochun looked over, yo, a familiar one came up, it was not a bystander, it was Zhang Chengru who was kicked by him and couldn't stand up and was dismissed.

Shen Qu sighed in despair again, this man really can't be wanted.

Zhang Chengru said: "The minister saw with his own eyes that the two came and went, and made an appointment, causing the minister to be married for three years, and they were all ...... None of them have ever slept with their wives. ”

One word stunned everyone.

This is simply too much, everyone brushed and accused Shen Qu with their eyes: Looking at the talent of His Royal Highness, it turned out that he had done such a thing of male thieves and female prostitutes in private, it was simply ...... Sven sweeps the floor.

Emperor Xiaochun glanced at Shen Qu and saw that she looked like an old god was there, and he didn't argue or get angry, so he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while.

What do you mean, is this a default, broken jar broken? Or in ...... Hold back the big move.

There is no movement here, and the opposing player over there outputs in a row and directly opens up.

The concubine said: "The concubine also has a witness, that is, he Li Luansong did not return all night that night, and someone saw that he was with Zhang Chengru's wife, Your Majesty, they were together all night, think about it......"

, what's there to think about.

Emperor Xiaochun was helpless: "Bring witnesses." ”

A thief-eyed little guy came up, kowtowed when he entered the door, and kept saying that he had seen Li Luansong, the king of Jin, spend a good night with a woman, and said: "The villain watched them enter an inn with his own eyes." ”

Shen did laugh angrily, it was like making something out of nothing.

Emperor Xiaochun asked, "Is this true?" ”

The man: "Absolutely. ”

Emperor Xiaochun looked at Shen Qu: "What do you say?" ”

Shen Qu turned his head to look at the little guy and asked, "Are you seeing me?" ”

The little guy nodded: "It's you, that's right, I have good eyes and can see clearly." ”

Shen Qu asked again: "Then let me ask you, I was carrying a burden at that time, do you still remember what color the burden was?" ”

The little maid rolled his eyes and said: "Your Highness, don't deceive the villain, the third watch is dark in the middle of the night, and no matter how good the villain's eyes are, it is impossible to see the color of the burden clearly." ”

Shen said: "Well, I don't have a backpack at all. ”

The crowd was speechless.

The little guy is still arguing: "You say no, there is nothing, I see it, there is." ”

Emperor Xiaochun touched the inkstone and smashed it: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, he ......"

He pointed at Shen Qu, "Prince, do you want to go to the inn to meet the little lady?" Do you want to carry your own backpack? It's poverty that limits your imagination. ”

……

All the grievances were vented on the little guy, and the whole person was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face before being dragged down.

The concubine hung her head and said nothing, peeking at Li Luanfeng on the side, and the mother and son looked at each other in despair.

The queen finally stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

That's all there is to it.

Emperor Xiaochun said angrily: "Shengming is a fart, what he said is a lie, and it doesn't mean that your son didn't hook up with other people's wives." ”

This logic is also reasonable.

I saw the queen walk up to Shen Qu calmly, patted her shoulder very kindly, and had a sense of righteousness and awe, sighed and said:

"There is one thing, the concubine has been hiding it for several months, and she has become seriously ill because of it."

She paced in front of Emperor Xiaochun, with a relieved and relaxed smile on her face, and said slowly:

"Now that the concubine has thought clearly and accepted it, as long as the child is good, as long as my son is happy, there is nothing that the mother can't accept."

Emperor Xiaochun: ...... What exactly are you trying to say.

"My son." The queen was iron-hearted, "Yes...... Broken sleeves, he ...... I only like men, I don't like women, how can I make peace with other people's wives, and why do I have to talk about it? ”
