III Jiangshan

Chapter 43

On the second day, early morning.

The officials not only saw Zhao Wang and Wu Wang who had just come to court for a few days, but even more strangely, they saw Langya County King.

It should be noted that according to the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty, only the princes of the royal clan can go to the court to discuss politics, except for those who are qualified.As for the prince and below, only when the emperor allows him to deal with something can he go to court.

So, the appearance of King Langya was allowed by His Majesty?

So, what is the reason?

The murmurs in everyone's hearts hadn't turned back and forth, and they suddenly caught a glimpse of two young censors known for their "iron mouth and steel teeth", and couldn't help but shudder.

Emperor Taizong had training not to kill officials.

In other words, even if the censor pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded his mother, how to deal with it afterwards is another matter. At least, the emperor is not allowed to use this as an excuse to deal with the officials.

Because of this protective screen, the officials of the Great Wei have always lived like a fish in water.Being able to scold the emperor severely without taking responsibility is such a beautiful job, anyone will feel happy doing it.

Moreover, since Taizong's edict came into being, the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty have cleverly used the power of speech officials for their own use.Because of doing things for the emperor, as a speech officer, the official luck is naturally prosperous.

Therefore, young officials mostly use being a speech officer as a ladder for promotion.

So, today the censors are going to be the emperor's gunmen again?

This sentence popped into everyone's head.

They couldn't help taking a peek at Li Zhihuan, the censor Zhongcheng standing there with a black face and holding a wat board.This guy doesn't seem to know the inside story... Whoops!What a big deal that even Yu Shi Zhongcheng didn't know about!

In fact, the vast majority of people present did not know what was going to happen.But they have all lived in the officialdom for a long time, and their heads turned quickly, and they immediately thought of the several imperial edicts entrusting the princes and grandchildren the day before yesterday.Then, all eyes fell on the crown prince standing in front of King Zhao, King Wu and King Langya.

Tsk tsk tsk, Yintang is black, this is a sign of imminent disaster!

Everyone looked at the prince with pity involuntarily.Of course, there are many people who applaud and applaud.

Emperor Wei sat down on the dragon chair.

The Ministry of War first stepped forward to report the situation of the battle at the northern border, saying that the momentum of the Ule people had been contained. Right now, troops, horses, food and grass are quickly assembled, and the fortifications are also being strengthened.

Emperor Wei nodded, and said "Your Excellencies have worked hard", obviously very satisfied.

The officials in charge of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Industry related to this matter all felt relieved, and smile lines appeared on their faces.With the emperor's affirmation, they are not busy these few days!

The matter came to an end temporarily, and a censor came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have a statement!"

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows, causing Zhu Sui on the crown above his head to tremble accordingly.

"Play!" he said simply.

Regarding Yu Shi's sudden appearance, His Majesty was not surprised at all.Ah!Is this under His Majesty's order?

The ministers felt hehe in their hearts, and they all care about it.

Only the censor said loudly: "I want to impeach Zhu Yuanyou, the head of the Eastern Palace!"

really!The officials were secretly amazed.This is really for the prince!

At this time, the internal eunuch on duty had already presented the censor's memorial to the imperial court.

Emperor Wei flipped through it casually, stopped looking, and said to the censor under Dan Chi: "Continue talking!"

The censor hurriedly said "yes" respectfully, and continued: "Zhu Yuanyou assisted Donggong in compiling "Qingxi Shihua", and actually included the poems and lives of five people including Lin Zhen and Hu Cangrong. The poems written are already extremely inappropriate, and in this poem talk, for the detailed introduction of the lives of several people, the writing and conception have a deep meaning of advocating injustice and intending to reverse the verdict. It has been highly praised by folk scholars, and it has been published many times, and its poison is not shallow. I think that if it is allowed to develop like this, in time, no one will remember the identity of these people as rebels."

He spoke with a heartbroken heart, and the officials were terrified when they heard it.

Yuan Youqi is no exception.

About today's matter, she heard Concubine Wei Xian mention what Zhang Guogong said with Concubine Wei Xian yesterday in Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Wei Xian had already predicted that Gu Heng's poisoning, whether she did it herself or someone else did it, would definitely cause turbulent waves, and it was very likely that it would be reflected in today's morning court.

Before Yuan Youqi went to court today, he had already thought about what he was going to do.It's just that she needs an opportunity.But what she didn't expect was that this opportunity came so suddenly and turbulently.

Lin Zhen and Hu Cangrong were important ministers in the former emperor's dynasty. They were the staunch supporters of the prince and later King Han.And that former prince, that is, today's son, her father's elder brother Yuan Ke.

At that time, Emperor Wei was still King Qin.

An accident that shocked the government and the public, the former prince became the king of Han, and the former king of Qin became the prince.Lin Zhen and others who once supported the prince were sentenced to death for "treason and treason", including their descendants, beheaded and exiled.

That was 30 years ago, but its impact was enough to shake the entire Wei Dynasty.It is said that the blood of the people who died at that time, inside and outside the palace, outside the Meridian Gate and Shizijie, could not be washed clean for several months.

No one can tell what happened that year, or even if they knew it, they dare not tell the truth.

Because, the person sitting on the dragon chair now is the mastermind of that great change back then!

This is something almost everyone is sure about, but they dare not think deeply about it.

Originally, this matter was gradually forgotten with the passage of dozens of years. Unexpectedly, it was picked up without warning today, and the horror it caused can be imagined.

Yuan Youqi has heard of those names, and she also believes that no matter what kind of person they are, they are loyal to Yuan Ke.However, none of them died well, and Han Wang Yuanke was never mentioned again.No one knows whether he died of illness or was killed.In short, there will never be any good ending.

Although Yuan Youqi had made up her mind to seize the heirloom yesterday, as the prince, as the "brother" of the crown prince Yuan Chengyin, she still couldn't help feeling angry and lamenting towards Yuan Chengyin.

Lost your mind?The father is still alive and well, and he is not so confused that he recorded such sensitive people in such a big way!

Yuan Youqi also really wanted to reprimand her second brother: "Grow your brains!"

While she was thinking, Emperor Wei turned to Yuan Chengyin, who was pale and restless.

"Prince, what do you say?" Emperor Wei's face was stern, and his voice was freezing cold.

With such a tone, all the ministers said in their hearts: The prince is finished.

The prince stepped forward with his legs stiff, saluted Emperor Wei, and said in a trembling voice: "Father Huang Mingjian, "Qingxi Shihua" was indeed compiled by my son, but in it..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Wei let out a cold "hum".In the huge hall, almost everyone could hear clearly.

The ministers shook their heads secretly: The prince is really finished!

When Ding Feng heard that the crown prince took the matter of editing on his own head, he cursed in his heart, "Idiot! Idiot!".At such a time, even if it is a shame to shirk, the responsibility must be pushed to Zhu Yuanyou!If you make more sophistry and make the emperor unable to punish the crime, at most you can add the title of "unknown people, poor supervision", and it will not cause great disasters!

But obviously, His Royal Highness didn't think so, he actually protected Zhu Yuanyou at this moment!

Ding Feng was speechless.He no longer wants to stand up for this master who doesn't know whether he is a real gentleman or a fool.

Emperor Wei let out a cold snort, which caused the prince's habitual palpitations, but inexplicably aroused his courage.

He suddenly raised his head, and it was rare for him to have the courage to meet Wei Di's gaze——

"Father! My son thinks that the talents of Lin Zhen and others are well known! Such talents should not be buried! They should not be cruelly denied because of what inappropriate things they have done!"

Emperor Wei seemed to have seen something strange, and looked strangely at the prince's earnestly arguing face, but the words he uttered were cold: "Cruel negation? In your eyes, the will of the first emperor is cruel negation? Heh ! One by one, they committed the heinous crime of treason and treason. In your eyes, they just did inappropriate things?"

The prince shook his head and said stubbornly: "What happened back then, what is right and what is wrong, how many people can tell clearly!"

"Bastard!" Emperor Wei suddenly slapped the dragon case.

The prince's knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", but he still raised his chin, not convinced.

Wei Di stared at him steadfastly, his chest rose and fell sharply, obviously irritated.

The air froze for a moment.

Most of the officials did not dare to speak, fearing that it would hurt themselves.And several old ministers who have been in court for a long time, they have their own calculations in their hearts, and they all keep their faces tense and silent.

Li Zhihuan stared at the kneeling back of the prince, and with a thought, he wanted to move forward, but suddenly thought of the prince's cold and sarcastic face when King Qin left that day, and finally that pity disappeared.

Most of the people who clustered around the prince were Ding's disciples or those who hugged Ding's thighs; but now Ding Feng's appearance of being an old god and staying out of the way made them dare not act rashly.

Yuan Chengbai squinted at the prince, his heart ecstatic.He even hoped that his father would quickly order the prince to "behead all the families", so that he would lose a formidable enemy on his way to the summit.

a long time.

Wei Di's shortness of breath gradually returned to normal, and the strange redness on his face also slowly dissipated.

He stared at the prince's face, and what he saw was the scene of him from infancy to childhood, then to teenager, until he grew up.He thought of how Empress Ding waited for him to come back safely in the mansion on that bloody and stormy night not long after she married him as the main concubine of Qin Wang.

At that time, she held a dagger waiting to be unsheathed in her arms.If he died in that battle for the throne, she would never live alone.

Emperor Wei's gaze softened gradually, and his voice was hoarse and dry——

"The crown prince doesn't know people well, and his supervision is ineffective. Today, he will be confined to the East Palace and reflect on his mistakes. Without my will, you must not leave the East Palace!"

"Zhu Yuanyou and everyone related to "Qingxi Shihua" are responsible for their own crimes. All officials in the East Palace will be thoroughly investigated from today. Anyone who slanders and misleads the crown prince, or even disobeys, will not be tolerated! "

The prince slumped to the ground, his mind was still circling, his father's treatment of Zhu Yuanyou and all the servants of the East Palace.

All authors are responsible for their own crimes...

If you don't die, you have to peel off the skin!

He deeply felt sorry for them.
