Compared with beating the prince and kicking the prince's concubine, causing the miscarriage of the emperor and grandson, this matter is also not small, or even more serious, maybe Xue Dingshan and Yue Lei have not realized it, but Zhang Juzheng, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, can naturally penetrate the stakes at a glance.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry to care about who the other criminal who escaped, but frowned and asked Xue Dingshan: "Xue Gongzi, it is really your hand on Cao Guiren" "I didn't mean to, at that time, in order to persuade the fight, I tripped Cao Guiren as soon as I raised my leg" Xue Dingshan snorted and distinguished, trying to carry the guilt on his younger brother.
At that time, there was a mess, Liu Qi and Yue Lei pinched each other, and even Cao Huan and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids focused their attention on the besieged prince, except for the two Xue Dingshan brothers, others really couldn't tell whether it was the eldest or the second child who kicked Cao Guiren like this Zhang Juzheng's expression was solemn, and he stroked his beard and said: "Alas, Master Xue, you will be thirteen years old in half a month, why are you so reckless, this matter is so big, do you know that even your father can't protect you here" Liu Qi pointed at Xue Dingshan hatefully and said: "Xue Dingshan, hello, I treat you as a brother, you are so hypocritical, persuading on the surface, and blackmailing my concubine behind my back, you are really insidious and despicable, I want to explain this matter to my father, and I will definitely not give up with your Xue family."
"My prince, I really didn't mean to."
Xue Dingshan's face was bitter, and it was already difficult to ride a tiger.
Liu Qi finished accusing Xue Dingshan, and then scolded Zhang Juzheng, Wei Zheng, Bao Zheng and others: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yue Lei was instigated by the crown princess Yue to trespass into the prince's mansion, innocently beat the prince, and attacked Cao Guiren, resulting in a miscarriage in Jianhong, please make the decision for me."
Wei Zheng's face turned blue with anger, and he patted his chest and said: "The prince is in charge, rest assured, I, Wei Zheng, have been dismissed once, even if I am dismissed again, I will seek justice for you."
"Lord Wei said it well" Bao Zheng's swarthy face was full of anger, "Beating the prince for no reason is simply lawless, no matter how hard his background is, no matter how much credit his father has, I, Bao Zheng, vow to seek justice for the prince with Lord Wei this time" Yue Lei looked aggrieved, and interjected beside him: "We didn't come to make trouble for no reason, it was the prince who favored the daughter of the rebel and snubbed my sister, so we came to ask for an explanation for her."
It was the prince who did it first, don't blame us" "Shut up" Wei Zheng directly took the wat board in his hand and slapped Yue Lei in the mouth, "How did Yue Fei teach his son, although Cao is the daughter of Cao Cao, but he has been in Jinling for five years, and His Majesty Chrysostom personally gave him a marriage, you should be honored by Mrs.
Cao, and you dare to slander the daughter of a traitor is really lawless and does not know how to be inferior."
Bao Zheng was also furious, and followed Wei Zheng to spray: "Take a step back and say, even if the prince loves the Cao family, it will not be your turn to take care of a few yellow-mouthed children who have not dried up."
It is unforgivable to dare to do such an unlawful thing."
Liu Qi said with an aggrieved face: "It's just because the Cao family is pregnant, and my health is not good, so there are fewer Yue's people who have been there in the past few days, and I don't have the intention of being cold." ” Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and said: "It's a trivial matter, but the princess is really narrow-minded.
The king is the minister, the husband is the wife, the prince is not in good health, shouldn't he be his wife's saddle before and after the horse, is it difficult to let the prince come to slap her, it is really pampered and arrogant, Marshal Yue's tutor seems to have some problems. ” After listening to the conversation of several adults, Yue Lei's heart sank, it seems that the matter is getting bigger, this matter not only involves himself and his sister, but now the spearhead of these civil officials has vaguely pointed at his father, and where the ending will go is no longer something that he can decide and predict.
Wei Zheng said angrily: "Who is the one who escaped?"
Xue Dingshan lowered his head and said cautiously: "It's Xue Gang, the youngest of the three of us." ” Wei Zheng's gaze swept to Li Yuanfang and Zhanzhao: "The two commanders, it's up to you what to do, go to the Xue family to get people, and I, Lord Bao, and Zhang Shangshu will enter the palace immediately to face the saint." ” Xue Rengui's identity and status are not enough, this Xue Gang is still the emperor's nephew, the only son of Princess Wannian, Li Yuanfang has been an official for a long time, he is a little sleek and sophisticated, and he is naturally reluctant to take this hot potato.
Listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Yuanfang showed a stupid smile: "This matter should not be Jinyiwei's turn to make a move, under the rule of Jinling Mansion, it should be arrested by the servants of Lord Bao's yamen." ” Bao Zheng didn't care so much, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu" The four catchers who did not leave Bao Zheng's left and right immediately stepped forward to salute: "Listen to orders" Bao Zheng's face was pale, and his voice was excited: "This government orders the four of you to lead the messenger to Xue Mansion to arrest the suspected murderer Xue Gang came to ask for the crime, and then executed after the Ming Shengshang."
At the same time, additional officers will be assigned to the four gates to prevent criminals from escaping."
"No" The four major catchers agreed, and they all took the order to go.
At the same time, the news of the prince's beating quickly reached the ears of Liu Wei, who was reviewing the folds in the Lin De Palace, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he put down the pen and ink in his hand: "These bear children can really grab the headlines, and what the streets and alleys are talking about this afternoon is not about Fan Lihua entering the palace tomorrow, but about the prince being beaten."
"Dare to beat the dignified prince, this child of the Xue family and the Yue family is really bold" Zheng He, the big eunuch next to him, looked indignant, and had an expression of hatred that he couldn't step on the three bear children to vent his anger for the prince.
In the past three years since Liu Wei drove the expedition, Zheng He has been serving Liu Qi, and the matching complements each other, which also makes Zheng He unswervingly support the crown prince Liu Qi.
"Hmm" Liu Wei's eyes widened, his eyebrows furrowed, and he glared at Zheng He with an awe-inspiring and inviolable gaze, which made Zheng He shudder and deeply feel the unpredictability of heaven.
"Damn it, it's the slave who talks too much" Zheng He hurriedly bowed down and slapped himself.
Liu Wei did not answer Zheng He, but slowly got up, paced back and forth in front of the bookcase, and secretly muttered in his heart: "The way of the imperial general, such as raising an eagle; If you are hungry, you will depend on the person, and if you are full, you will go away.
The power of the Son of Heaven, when the power of grace is used together, this time it is time to wield a stick to establish the sanctity of imperial power" This time, Yue Lei and Xue Gang trespassed into the prince's mansion and beat the prince, and it was definitely not a trivial matter to cause the prince's concubine to have a miscarriage, let's not talk about whether Liu Qi was at fault or not, if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military seized this matter and made a big fuss, it would definitely have a huge impact on Yue Fei and Xue Rengui's career, and it would not be an exaggeration to even let the person who kicked Cao Huan pay for his life.
And this time, Liu Wei decided not to be in a hurry to express his position, first to listen to what the ministers said, first to see what kind of attitude Yue Fei and Xue Rengui had, to calm the brakes, and wait and see what happened.
Yue Fei and Xue Rengui have merit and merit, they have already received the glory and reward they deserve, but they can't offset the merit, merit is merit is merit, and they must not be confused.
Even if I want to forgive their children, I must make them grateful to Dade, not let them, including other soldiers, feel that I have made great contributions to the country, and even the emperor's son must give our son three points Thinking of this, Liu Wei stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and said solemnly: "Immediately let Jinyiwei use flying pigeons to release the wind and spread it to the Chang'an Yue Fei Army, as well as the Huainan Xue Rengui Army, to see what the attitude of the fathers of these two parties is."
"No" Zheng He agreed, "The slave and maid will arrange it immediately" Liu Wei bowed slightly, walked to the door and pushed the door open, only to see the sky cloudy and indifferent, the cold wind shouted, and he couldn't help but be wrapped in a big coat, and said in a deep voice: "It is not easy to be in charge of a court, there have been no waves for ten years, only some small winds and waves, driving this huge warship to move forward, and it is not easy for me."
Zheng He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty pacified the princes, opened up the territory, and ruled the martial arts, which is unprecedented.
The prince still needs to learn too much from His Majesty, but the prince is humble and studious, treats people kindly, and is deeply supported by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. ” Liu Wei bowed slightly: "Overall, Qi'er has performed well over the years, and few people can find fault with him."
But there are still many weaknesses in the character that need to be sharpened, and this is also an opportunity, only through the wind and rain can it thrive, where can the flowers in the greenhouse withstand the destruction of the wind and rain" "Your Majesty is right, you can see that Your Majesty is kind to the prince from the bottom of his heart."
Zheng He followed behind Liu Wei and cautiously said good things for the prince.
Liu Wei said again: "You go to secretly pass the prince to see me in the Linde Palace, and I want to have a long talk with him."
As for the rest of the civil and military, it is said that I am not in good health, and I have not seen anything.
I want to see what kind of attitude the ministers have towards the beating of the prince this time, and this matter will fall on the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Jinling Mansion and other yamen."
Zheng He was secretly happy for Liu Qi in his heart, no matter what, after all, they were father and son, and this time the emperor clearly stood on the side of the prince.
But he didn't stand up, hid behind his back and watched the changes, more than a hundred or a thousand times more mature than ten years ago "Let's go" Liu Wei returned to the back of the book case and sat still, his eyes were like water, and the eight winds did not move, which made people feel unfathomable.
Zheng He's heart sank, and he hurriedly said goodbye.
Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Because the prince was beaten, the guards in front of the gate of the mansion increased significantly, and they were all draped one by one, with a grim expression.
The news that the prince was beaten by the sons of Xue and Yue quickly spread in the streets and alleys of Jinling, and the people were talking about it, and they were all looking forward to the outcome.
A carriage stopped in front of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the head of the household, Mi Zhu, jumped down, and after entering the mansion, he met Wang Meng, and said with a smile: "Prince, why did you come here?"
Wang Meng smiled and groaned and ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and the guests and hosts sat down: "The official is ignorant, please advise Mi Shangshu" Mi Zhu laughed: "Haha Brother Wang, our brothers don't talk officially, if the niece becomes the queen in the future, the younger brother will have to rely on the elder brother to take care of it." t1706231537:
