Bright Spring

"En." The tall Xu Huizu nodded slightly, but there was no trace of surprise on his face, as if he knew it already.

Yuan Gong felt that Xu Huizu should have known in advance.Because Xu Huizu's complexion didn't look sick at all, so it was impossible for him to stay in this bedroom, a small room full of unpleasant medicine smell.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Gong finally couldn't help complaining: "Gao Xianning wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Fu without authorization. Regarding the matter of King Gu, it was the Minister of General Affairs who left the memorial! The courtiers actually believed that he was ordered by me... Sigh!" Yuan Gong He shook his hand, looking very wronged.

Xu Huizu coughed twice, and said, "Gao Xianning doesn't seem to belong to Yuan Siqing? He was considered related to the queen because he wrote a letter to persuade the crown prince to be established."

After hearing this, Yuan Gong felt a little relieved, and immediately responded: "If the courtiers are as wise as Wei Guogong, why are things like this?"

"Yuan Siqing's reputation is too high." Xu Huizu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's only because Yuan Siqing said that Gao Xianning has nothing to do with you, and I think you're telling the truth."

… After Xu Huizu finished speaking, he stopped looking for new topics, and just sat silently on the chair, as if waiting for something.Going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, Yuan Gong came to the door today, of course not to tell Xu Huizu that it was snowing outside, and to complain a few words, logically there must be something important.

It was Yuan Gong who Xu Huizu was waiting for told the story.

As expected, Yuan Gong said again: "The Marquis of Ning Yuan (He Fu) has been escorted to Beijing, and is now under house arrest in the mansion. Zhang Fu has repeatedly written to impeach He Fu, exposing him for colluding with the king and eating inside and out. Locking up Ning Yuanhou for a little longer, doesn't it mean that Ning Yuanhou has committed a serious crime by default?"

Xu Huizu nodded thoughtfully.

Yuan Gong said in a deep voice: "The lower officials think that Marquis Ningyuan must have been wronged! It is obvious that Zhang Fu wants to take the opportunity to fight against dissidents, to eliminate dissidents, and to make Marquis Ningyuan and others lose the trust of the Holy Majesty and the court!"

Xu Huizu asked calmly: "Do you have evidence?"

Yuan Gong was stunned for a moment.Because He Fu was indeed recommended by Xu Huizu, Xu Huizu didn't talk about He Fu at this time, I'm afraid it was a bit surprising.

Yuan Gong thought for a while, and said: "The evidence of framing the Marquis of Jiangyin is the evidence. If he (Zhang Fu) can do one thing, he will definitely do the second same thing!"

Xu Huizu no longer cared about the details of his illness, and stood up from his chair.He stretched out his hand to pull the robe draped over his back, then paced back and forth a few steps in the middle of the room, staring at the floor tiles.

Yuan Gong's words made sense.

In fact, Xu Huizu had doubts about He Fu a long time ago, but it was precisely because of Zhang Fu's frame of Wu Gao that Xu Huizu dispelled his doubts; the reason was the same as what Yuan Gong said.

Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and said: "When Zhang Fu presented the memorials, I was not sick. I read those memorials, and if Zhang Fu's words are true, then what he said is not unreasonable; I still know He Fu's ability to lead troops. Second, those mistakes should not have been made."

"Of course what he (Zhang Fu) said is not the truth!" Yuan Gong said seriously, "Does Duke Wei remember what happened to the Marquis of Jiangyin? Zhang Fu's credentials come from coercion and temptation, so where is the truth?"

Xu Huizu nodded slowly.

Yuan Gong said: "Today bothering Duke Wei for recuperation, I just want to invite Duke Wei to meet Ning Yuanhou, and ask Ning Yuanhou what he said, so as to distinguish the truth from the false."

Xu Huizu glanced at Yuan Gong, "What's the use? No matter what the truth is, does He Fu dare to admit it? Of course He Fu's rhetoric will attack Zhang Fu!"

Yuan Gong said: "General He has an old friendship with the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of Wei has put his heart to his heart. You should be able to see some clues?"

Xu Huizu shook his head: "This matter is too important to He Fu. If he really colluded with the king and caused the death of the Huguang army, it would be much more serious than the defeat of the army! Could it be that he was punished alone? Fu is old with me, and I will never tell the truth. Even if I see some clues, it will not help the matter, how can I determine the truth with no evidence and only speculation?"

Yuan Gong thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then the lower official suggested in the court that Ning Yuanhou should be released first?"

Xu Huizu was noncommittal.He turned around suddenly, raised his hand as if hesitating to speak, but in the end he didn't speak out immediately.

Yuan Gong looked at Xu Huizu in confusion.

Just now Xu Huizu recalled his previous speculation about He Fu and his brother He Lu.Xu Huizu didn't talk about it, because that incident was also just speculation, and there was no evidence to support it.

What's more, in case He Fu is really a traitor, the current situation will be beneficial to He Fu!

Xu Huizu hesitated for a while, then changed to a more cryptic rhetoric: "The situation in the world today is a bit serious."

Yuan Gong's face darkened immediately, and an expression of extreme anxiety suddenly appeared on his face.

Xu Huizu saw it in his eyes and knew Yuan Gong's situation... Once the rebels entered the city and took control of the government, Yuan Gong must be finished!The king of Han escaped from the palace back then, and it seemed that he had been tricked. It should be difficult for the king of Han to treat those ministers who entered the palace in the future.

... When Yuan Gong left Wei Guogong's mansion, unitary time had passed, so he didn't go back to the imperial government office, and went straight home.

Early the next morning, the eunuch in the palace came out of Chengtian Gate and informed the ministers of the outer court that the emperor would not be courting today.So the ministers went to one of the government offices closest to Chengtianmen to gather for early discussions in the Hanlin Academy early in the morning.

Yuan Gong first proposed a new rule.

In view of the fact that the holy majesty has not been in court for many days, it is difficult to make decisions about court affairs; in the future, any major event that will not go down for a long time will be discussed by the ministries, temples, and cabinet officials designated by the holy majesty to manage the government, and the decision with the largest number of advocates will be adopted.

The ministers who discussed earlier all agreed, because there were indeed too many delays.Whether this method is good or not, at least almost everything can be resolved!

Then Yuan Gong immediately proposed that the matter of Ningyuan Hou He Fu should be decided first. "Marquis Ningyuan is locked up at home as a suspect. The longer the delay, the more Marquis Ningyuan will be deemed by the world to have colluded with the king! If Marquis Ningyuan was wronged, it would be too unfair to treat Xungui like this!"

The ministers discussed for a while, and Yuan Gong quickly put forward his own opinion on this matter: "There is no solid evidence for the impeachment of Marquis Ningyuan. It is better to let him go first, and then submit it to the Tribunal for a joint trial when there is real evidence."

There was an argument about this matter a few days ago, and of course they couldn't reach an agreement at this time, and there was a lot of noise in the study.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, advocated: "As long as the British Duke Zhang Fu is still the "Great General of Ping-Han", the court should continue to take care of He Fu. We will discuss the matter of He Fu after the British Duke is recalled to the court."

Yuan Gong asked: "Do you advocate recalling the British Duke from Huguang?"

No one expressed his opinion for a while, then Guo Zicai said: "'General Ping Han' is a title bestowed by the Holy Majesty; the British Duke is also a relative of the emperor, the noble concubine and the third prince are all members of the Holy High Family, and it is also necessary to recall the British Duke. Have you received an order from the Holy Spirit?"

Yuan Gong said: "First decide the matter of Marquis Ning Yuan, then I will find Eunuch Hai, the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, and ask Eunuch Hai to report to the emperor and decree to deal with this important matter!"

All the officials thought it was right, and then expressed their support for the two propositions; Yuan Gong's and Ru Yu's different methods.

Most of the people present had an opinion on this matter: whether or not to let He Fu go, it is just that everyone thinks that He Fu has colluded with the king to rebel... More people think that He Fu did not collude with the rebellion before the battle of Huguang Wang: Because of the struggle between Zhang Fu and Xu Huizu, the ministers are well aware of it!

This incident was obviously the result of internal strife. He Fu was arrested because he failed to win against Zhang Fu!And just as Guo Zi said, the Duke of England is a relative of the emperor and a relative of the Holy Majesty, so there is no need to worry about the British Guild betraying the Holy Majesty.

So the result is obvious, and there are more people who support Yuan Gong's proposition.The courtiers immediately made a decision: Release Ningyuan Hou He Fu without charge!

In the afternoon of that day, all the guards in Jinyi of Ningyuanhou's Mansion withdrew.

Chapter 553 I'm Not Righteous

Zhang Fu decided to surrender!

Hearing the news, Zhu Gaoxu stood up abruptly from his chair, clenched his fists into the air, waved his fists a little out of composure and said excitedly: "Okay!" His face with thick eyebrows and big eyes glistened with excitement. Wine-like red.

Now that the "Battle of Criminology" has come, the Han King's army has a very high chance of winning.However, if you lead a large army to march along the South Road (Nanchang Hangzhou Jingshi), it is indeed difficult to encounter strong resistance along the way, but it will cost you at least one stick!This king is still righteous to the brothers in the crusade army. "

Wang Bin immediately clasped his fists and said, "The final general asks the prince to issue an order!"

Hou Hai also echoed and said: "The lower officials are the only ones who will follow the lead of the prince."

Sheng Yong and Pingan also expressed their opinions one after another, "Please make the decision, my lord!"

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and stroked his flat forehead, and after a while, he slapped the table and said, "Just do it!"

"The last general (lower official) waits for orders!"

After everyone left the study, Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the study.I saw that the sky was cloudy and the wind was strong.Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the room suddenly, feeling a little cold.

The so-called world of big men is really full of all kinds of power and profit game calculations; perhaps because wealth, power and status are too important to men.The cruel things that Zhu Gaoxu did are like the wind in this winter, and people seem to be cold.
