Liu Qing took people to Zhen Jian's mansion to announce that Zhen Jian had entered the palace to face the saint, Zhen Jian was not surprised at all, because he had long expected that such a loud explosion last night would alarm the entire capital, Chaotian Street was leaning on the imperial city, and the emperor could not hear it?
Can you send someone to investigate?
The whole world is free Zhen Jian will make gunpowder, can the emperor not doubt him.
Zhen Jian not only expected it a long time ago, but also bathed in incense, dressed neatly, and waited in the middle hall, Liu Qing came to announce the message, he immediately followed Liu Qing into the palace, as always, brought his own small medicine box, I have to admit that Zhen Jian can climb to today's position, his medical skills and this small medicine box are indispensable, meritorious service is only the foundation, the key is to win the emperor's favor, and treating the emperor is the best way to win the emperor's favor.
The emperor was waiting for Zhen Jian in the Lin De Palace, he was very angry at the moment, gunpowder is a secret weapon, Zhen Jian actually made it privately, and it was also used to blow up Qin Huan's mansion, maybe there was a reason, but no matter what the reason, Zhen Jian was jealous.
Zhen Jian arrived at the Linde Palace, stood in the heart of the hall, saluted, and shouted: "Long live the minister Zhen Jian's visit to my emperor!"
” The emperor looked at him coldly, and said in a low voice: "Zhen Jian!
How daring!
” Zhen Jian pretended to be panicked and said, "Why is the emperor so angry?
” The emperor glared and shouted, "You still knowingly ask!"
I ask you, someone attacked Qin Huan's mansion at night last night, and also used gunpowder, which blew Qin Huan's mansion into a mess, killing and injuring nearly 200 people, Qin Huan was also injured, and now he is lying at home, the formula of gunpowder, except for me, only you know!
” Zhen Jian saw that the emperor had a showdown, and he didn't plan to hide it, so he said calmly: "Your Majesty, everything in this world pays attention to cause and effect, there must be a cause and effect, and there must be a cause if there is an effect, the minister admits that this matter was done by the minister, but the minister does not regret it, because the minister must do it!"
” The emperor frowned when he heard this, stared at Zhen Jian, and said suspiciously: "Listen to what you mean, do you still have a hard time?"
” "Back to the emperor, yes."
Zhen Jian said calmly, "Qin Huan sent someone to kidnap the minister's father, Qin Huan's mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many homes in the house, so in order to rescue his father, the minister has no choice but to use gunpowder." ” "What?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "Qin Huan kidnapped your father?"
Do you have a certificate?
” Zhen Jiandao: "The minister has rescued his father, if you want proof, the emperor can send someone to search Qin Huan's mansion, where it was blown up, there is an underground cell, and the minister's father is imprisoned there." ” When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Liu Qing on the side, and Liu Qing hurriedly retreated without saying a word, obviously sending someone to Qin Huan's mansion to investigate thoroughly.
The emperor's face at the moment was a little cloudy, and after a long time, his tone changed slightly, and said: "Zhen Jian, if there are no rules, it will not be a circle, the country naturally has the law of the country, and the thing of gunpowder, after you enter and dedicate it, it belongs to the state weapon, and cannot be used for private use, do you know that you use the national weapon privately, but it is a big crime!"
” "The minister is guilty!
Please punish the emperor.
Zhen Jian didn't resist, so he confessed his guilt calmly.
Seeing this, the emperor was speechless, he originally wanted to reprimand Zhen Jian, but he didn't expect Zhen Jian's attitude to admit his mistakes so well, and after explaining the reason, he didn't argue at all, which made him unable to say a large set of reprimands that he had prepared.
The emperor smacked his lips and said, "You are really reckless, if this kind of thing happens, you should tell me as soon as possible, and I will naturally make decisions for you." ” Zhen Jiadao: "Your Majesty, catch thieves and stolen goods, catch traitors and take pairs, the minister didn't know who kidnapped the minister's father at the time, he just suspected Qin Huan, in the absence of any evidence, how could the minister dare to impeach Qin Xiang to the emperor, this is a big crime." ” The emperor snorted coldly: "That is not as big as the sin of using gunpowder privately!"
” Zhen Jiandao: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't plan to use gunpowder at first, but just let the generals take it, and it can't be used until the last resort, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the dungeon of the Qin Mansion, I found the minister's father, but I was trapped in the dungeon, and the exit of the dungeon was sealed, and the minister was unwilling to die in the dungeon, so he could only use gunpowder to blow up the exit." ” The emperor was completely speechless when he heard this, he didn't know what to say, he was very annoyed now, he wanted to know if what Zhen Jian said was the truth, if it was the truth, Qin Huan deserved it, and he was angry with him.
The emperor chatted with Zhen Jian for a long time, Zhen Jian wanted to massage the emperor with needles, and the emperor agreed, so Zhen Jian massaged the emperor with needles.
At the end of the day, Liu Qing came back, approached the emperor, and reported: "Your Majesty, there is indeed an underground cell in Lord Qin's garden. ” When the emperor heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and said loudly: "You go to the Qin Mansion immediately, announce my message, and let Qin Huan come to see me!"
” Liu Qing's face was full of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Lord Qin is so injured that he can't get up from the bed, he said that those cells are used to imprison the subordinates who have made mistakes in the palace, and he denies that he has kidnapped the father of the Fuguo Marquis (Zhen Jian)." ” When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows slowly frowned, and the Zhen family secretly sneered when he heard it: "Old fox, pretend to be pitiful with an injury?"
There are really a lot of tricks, I don't know if the emperor eats this set. ” The emperor frowned and groaned for a long time, but after all, his heart softened, he sighed, turned his head to look at Zhen Jian, and said slowly: "Zhen Jian, this matter has made a big fuss, almost alarming the entire capital, I feel that it is not appropriate to make any more trouble, I don't ask about your sin, you should do nothing that happened." ” He is preparing to turn the big thing into a small thing, and he wants to suppress this matter, after all, this matter is really a bit untable, the two ministers of the court and the central government hurt each other, one kidnapped the other party's father, and the other directly used gunpowder to kill and injure nearly 200 people, in the middle of the night, so that the whole city heard it, but these two people are still the emperor's most important and favored two courtiers, the emperor is difficult to choose, can only be with the mud.
Zhen Jian seemed to have expected such an ending, and he was not surprised at all, so he bowed his hand: "Everything obeys the emperor's orders, and the ministers have no complaints." ” Although this matter was Qin Huan's mistake first, Zhen Jian's private use of national weapons was a big crime, and if it came to the table, it would be very unfavorable to him, so he agreed to the emperor and the mud's approach.
When the emperor heard this, he was also very happy, and nodded: "Okay, you go back first, and I will handle the rest." ” "The emperor is tired, and the minister retires!"
Zhen Jian bowed and withdrew from the Lin De Palace.
The emperor watched Zhen Jian leave, pinched his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "I'm really tired, the two of them......
Alas......"
He had just had acupuncture, and he felt a pain in his brain again.
When Zhen Jian just left the palace, he saw many ministers waiting outside the palace gate, obviously to ask for a saint, some people were still holding the song in their hands, and everyone saw Zhen Jian coming out of the palace, and they all stared at Zhen Jian, with surprise and doubt in their eyes.
When Zhen Jian walked away, some ministers discussed one after another: "Zhen Jian went to meet the saint early in the morning, it seems that he has already talked to the emperor, and I don't know what the emperor means." ” "Otherwise, let's stop playing, recently all the officials of Dali Temple have been found to have an accident, and seven have been dismissed and put in prison, the emperor is not happy, let's not touch this mold."
"If you're afraid, go back!"
A guy snorted coldly, "Qin Xiang said, let's impeach Zhen Jian for private use of gunpowder, this can be a great opportunity to bring down Zhen Jian, if you retreat, then see how you explain to Qin Xiang!"
” …… They thought that Zhen Jian had gone far away and couldn't hear them talking, but since Zhen Jian had cultivated his internal strength, his hearing was far better than before, and he vaguely heard their conversation, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.
A group of ministers went to the Lin De Hall to face the saint, and they played on the ground one after another to impeach Zhen Jian, they naturally had no evidence, but the explosion in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night could not be hidden, and the person who could make gunpowder was only Zhen Jian, not who he could be.
Who knew that the emperor deduced that last night's explosion was not gunpowder, and he had already sent someone to investigate, but that someone in Qin Huan's mansion disobeyed the heavens and led to the divine thunder heavenly punishment, yes, it was thunder.
The ministers were all stunned when they heard this, and then, they realized, they are all old guys who have been in the court for many years, and they are all very wise, although the credibility of the emperor's statement is not even one percent, but they have to believe it, because the emperor wants to suppress this matter, do they dare to go against the tune, whoever dares to sing the opposite, the emperor will get whom, these people's hands are not clean, the emperor only needs to fabricate a crime casually, send the inspectorate to investigate, and ensure that the check is accurate.
The next day, the news of the bombardment of the Qin Mansion by the heavenly thunder spread throughout the capital, and Zhen Jian couldn't help sneering when he heard about it, the emperor was really able to pull it, and he actually made up such an illogical statement, but the key is that the people believed it.
