Chapter 68 Old wine and new tea will drink with you, and you will listen to the small things in the big city.

This summer, the Holy Emperor went to the early court several times.

It's not because the Holy Emperor is lazy and doesn't go to the early dynasty, it's because he absolutely trusts his three courtiers, if it weren't for Guo Jinghui, Chen Boju and An Shixiang who resigned from the name of the Great Pillar Kingdom several times and twice, I am afraid that there will be three Great Pillar Kingdoms in this Holy Dynasty.

They felt that only those who had come out of the troubled times were qualified to be called the Great Pillar Kingdom, and the three of them were not qualified to hold this title if they were only developing on the basis of others.

In the hearts of the three of them, the only one who can be called the "Pillar Country" is the Pingshan King back then!

Under normal circumstances, with three old people in charge, unless it is a big matter, the three of them can make their own decisions, which is why the Holy Dynasty has been less and less early in recent years.

Today's early dynasty, everyone knows what is the reason in their hearts.

Several civil officials with low grades walked with their heads held high today, while some military generals were concerned and didn't know if it would affect them because of the eldest prince.

As for the six Shangshu, only Xue Zhengwu, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Chen Yunong, the Shangshu of the Hubu, had indifferent expressions, and the other four had different expressions, some of them were about to lose their smiles, while others looked like the sky had fallen, with sad faces.

Xue Zhengwu and Chen Yunong had a meeting, and there was no conversation, just the two sides nodded to each other. They all understand that if they behave too ostentatiously at this juncture, it is easy to attract jealousy.

The hundred officials stood on the Qianlong Palace, and the position layout was the same as the last time Xu Chang'an, Jiang Ming and others were rewarded, but the eldest prince who was standing in the first row at that time was now kneeling.

The eyes of the Holy Emperor were like a sharp sword, sweeping the faces of those generals who supported the establishment of the great prince as the crown prince, and wherever the eyes passed, the officials bowed their heads one after another. Even some civil officials are no exception, although according to the current situation, the Ten Princes are only a matter of age, but the Holy Emperor's eyes swept over, as if warning them.

"This is my family affair, this is my son!"

The Holy Emperor retracted his gaze, and Li Zhongxian, who was beside him, opened his throat and shouted, "Go to court!"

Hearing this, the hundred officials knelt down.

The Holy Emperor let out a heavy breath, which frightened most of the officials, and then said lightly: "Zhong Aiqing, let's be even." ”

Only then did the hundred officials stand up, but the eldest prince still knelt beside Xuanyuan Rende.

The little prince pulled his brother, but Xuanyuan Chi lowered his head and did not move.

The Holy Emperor naturally saw this scene as well, smiled at his youngest son, and then shook his head.

"Summoning all Aiqing to come here today, I think they all understand what is the reason?"

"Xuanyuan blazing!" the Holy Emperor's voice suddenly rose up.

The eldest prince was frightened by this voice, and buried his head even lower.

"The mastermind of Chai Xintong's assassination, framed others, and murdered the three eunuchs in the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the hundred officials were as colorful as if they had opened a dye shop. The generals who had black faces turned from black to white, and finally clenched their fists in excitement and turned red. At the beginning, the civil official, who smiled very brightly, changed his face suddenly, then turned red to purple, and then to purple and black.

Everyone can hear that the Holy Emperor is trying to protect his son.

They heard that it was because of the eldest prince that a big battle outside the city would be caused, and even the loyal and righteous candidates were sacrificed. Compared with the sin of killing the loyal and righteous candidates, killing a few little eunuchs is simply not worth mentioning.

As for the case of framing Chai Xintong, everyone saw the Holy Emperor's concession to Confucius Temple two days ago, and there is no need to think about it, as long as Confucius Temple is willing to open one eye and close one eye, at this time, it can be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

As soon as these words came out, it caused a small commotion, and the Holy Emperor snorted coldly, and the Qianlong Hall immediately quieted down.

"In addition, the former Dragon Guard General Fan Yuzhi colluded with outsiders with the intention of rebellion, causing Zhongyi Hou to sacrifice for the country, and now order the Criminal Department to arrest him in time and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

When Xue Zhengwu heard this, he immediately bent forward and bowed: "The minister has an order!"

At this moment, a military general standing at the end stood up.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the matter of rebellion is very important, and we must investigate it thoroughly!" He and Fan Yuzhi had been on the battlefield together that year, and now that he was old, he naturally wanted to say a few words for the general of that year.

The Holy Emperor's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "How else can we investigate thoroughly?

The general bowed his head and remained silent.

"What I see with my own eyes is proof!If you don't believe it, you can go to the Confucius Temple and ask!" the Holy Emperor pointed to his eyes, his tone was cold, and there was an unquestionable majesty.

The general retreated silently.

The Holy Emperor snorted coldly again, and then said, "Zhongyi Hou sacrificed himself to save me and the little master, and posthumously named him Zhongyibo, is there any objection?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Guo Jinghui saw this situation and knew that it was the hundred officials who couldn't understand the Holy Emperor's mind at this time, so he didn't dare to answer at will.

After all, the court and the Confucius Temple, which have always been fighting openly and secretly, actually have a tendency to cooperate, and the officials can't figure out what they want, how dare they talk.

"Minister, second!" Guo Jinghui took the lead in expressing his position, and the hundred officials echoed in unison.

The Holy Emperor nodded, and then said: "Xuanyuan Chi and Fan Yu will be arrested by the Criminal Department and interrogated by the three divisions, there must be no mistakes!"

Xue Zhengwu, Luo Shaohua, and Pan Jinhai of the Supervision Institute received the order in unison.

"Also, because Xuanyuan Chi is my son, in order to avoid favoritism, I specially approved one person as Lord Qincha to supervise the three divisions to handle the case!"

When the people heard this, they turned their heads to each other.

Although there has always been a saying that Lord Qincha personally handled the case on behalf of the Holy Emperor, but those Qincha were all promoted from within the court, and they usually got the news early, but this time, there was no news, and this Lord Qincha parachuted, and all of this seemed a little weird.

The Holy Emperor didn't care about the noise below, and glanced at Li Zhongxian, Li Zhongxian understood, so he shouted loudly: "Pass the firewood Xintong!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

I saw Chai Xintong, who was wearing a green shirt, walked in, he did not bow down, and bowed slightly to the God Emperor.

"See Your Majesty. ”

The Holy Emperor frowned slightly, but still waved his hand and said, "Flat!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?" the hundred officials began to talk to each other again.

The victim interrogated the prisoner, and it was the first time they had seen it, but if it was tried by Chai Xintong, I was afraid that no one in the world would disagree.

After all, what victim doesn't want the prisoner to die?

Everyone's hearts were even more confused, isn't Chai Xintong a person from Confucius Temple? How can the Holy Emperor rest assured that he will come to judge the eldest prince, today's early dynasty has left a bunch of question marks in the heads of most officials.

After the Holy Emperor finished talking about what he wanted to explain, he dispersed the court, without mentioning anything about the Shelter Hansi.

Chai Xintong looked at the officials who congratulated him back and forth, he knew that this was a test given to him by the Holy Emperor, if he passed this test, then the Pihan Division would definitely be established, if he let the eldest prince suffer a small part of the punishment he deserved, I was afraid that this Bihan Division would drag on again.

The Holy Emperor also put the welfare and personal grievances of the world's scholars on his shoulders, and asked him to weigh and weigh which is more important, which is probably why the Holy Emperor dared to let him participate in the trial of the three divisions.

Chai Xintong sighed, glanced at the Qianlong Palace, and walked out of the palace.

......

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he still needs a series of formal documents to come down before he can officially exercise his power, and in the few days that the documents have been down, he has become an idler.

He walked aimlessly on the street, he didn't want to go to Huanxi Building, let alone to go to King Jin's Mansion, he wanted to find someone to drink, but he didn't know who to find.

He walked to the Xinghua Yanyu Building, but he didn't expect that the door of this old building had been closed today.

I found a small restaurant at random, found a place on the second floor facing the street and sat down, looking at the crowd coming and going below.

He just ordered a pot of tea and a few side dishes.

Originally, he only wanted to order tea, but the restaurant is so strange, you can order wine, but you can never order tea.

He was in a mess now, the girl he liked was gone, he had to arrest her father, and his best brother was dead, but he had to shield one of his murderers.

"Bang!" the voice came, and he turned his head to see a familiar face.

Kong Dewei put down the wine jug, looked at him and smiled reluctantly: "Lord Chai, come and drink." ”

Chai Xintong looked at him and shook his head.

"Isn't Lord Chai not appreciative?" he said with a wry smile, after all, this was the most optimistic person among his peers and one of his best friends.

Chai Xintong looked at him and smiled.

"When are you going to talk with a gun and a stick?"

Instead of answering his question, Kong Dewei forcibly poured him a glass of wine, and drank it himself, cup after glass.

Chai Xintong looked at this scene, thinking of the first time he drank with Xu Changan and himself in Huanxi Building, and his heart hurt slightly.

The little gentleman of the Kong family, who was so embarrassed that he kept coughing after taking a sip of wine, was able to drink cup after cup today.

He didn't know whether to be relieved or distressed.

Soon, Kong Dewei's face turned red, and he said drunkly: "Aren't you still drinking?"

Chai Xintong looked at him, sighed, and finally picked up the wine glass.

Kong Dewei smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and did not call him "Master Chai", but said directly: "Chai Xintong! I understand you if you want to be an official, and I feel sorry for you if you destroy the sword." Then I'll ask you a question today, how are you going to interrogate the eldest prince?

Chai Xintong looked at him and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the prince is just an accomplice who framed me and killed a few eunuchs! As for Fan Yuzhi, it is naturally a crime of treason, and how to sentence it depends on Your Majesty's intentions." ”

Kong Dewei stood up suddenly, pointed at his nose condescendingly and shouted: "Then what about Xu Chang'an's spirit in the sky! How do you face your beloved?"

Chai Xintong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Kong Dewei glanced at him in disappointment, as long as the heart is still there, the sword can be refined again if it is destroyed, but if the heart is gone, then the whole person is gone.

He picked up the flask, glanced at the Chai-sama, and staggered away.

Chai Xintong sighed, looked at his back, and did not stop him.

If he has a choice, he also hopes to drink and chat with Xu Changan.

He hoped even more that he and Fan Jiuxian would return to Tongzhou, return to Ling'an Mansion, and stay with her until he grew old.

"Old wine and new tea will drink with you, and you will listen to the little things in the big city. Chai Xintong suddenly remembered this sentence, this was his promise to a girl, he looked up at him, smiled bitterly, and his eyes were full of tears.

If you really give all these charges to Fan Yuzhi, I'm afraid that she will not have anything to do with her in this life, right?
