Chapter 259: Turning the tide (2)
Xiao Wei has always been brave, and there are very few people who can make him afraid of it among the civil and military officials in the court. Not to mention the nominal direct boss Chen Mingyuan, even Pei Mingli, the chief minister of the cabinet, Xiao Wei didn't care much about it, but he was right.
However, one person was quite cautious and cautious. This person was the old teacher Lin Guodong. At this time, Xiao Wei's eyes were exactly this person. When he saw Lin Guodong's old face, Xiao Wei's heart
He couldn't help but mutter, for nothing else, just because of Lin Guodong's appearance, the original variables increased a little more. If he wanted to defeat the prince, the Minister of War, who was originally in a neutral position, was
Sun Xuanwang and Li Yaoqian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, may join the ranks of the prince as the old guy's statement. If so, no matter how capable Xiao Wei has, he will still be able to turn the world. How can Xiao Wei not be worried?
.
Immortal, half of the loess is buried, and I still run out to embarrass you. Are you annoying? Xiao Wei cursed a few words in secret, but he can do anything. Just as he was about to turn his head, he saw Lin Guodong suddenly turned his face.
Come, glanced at Xiao Wei, and nodded intentionally.
What's this old man doing? Xiao Wei didn't expect Lin Guodong to say hello to him. He hurriedly took a step back and bowed his hand from afar, expressing his respect, but Lin Guodong turned his head and looked as if he hadn't seen it.
Looking elsewhere, Xiao Wei was so frustrated for a while, but he had no choice but to take a deep breath and force himself to suppress the uneasiness and irritability in his heart.
“Go to court…”[
Just as the ministers were whispering to discuss the previous confrontation between Xiao Wei and Qi and the two kings of Shu, there were sounds of shouting from the palace. Immediately, the Chengtian Gate was closed and the hole was opened, and the court officials were
They did not dare to neglect their clothes, arranged their clothes according to their grades, walked into Chengtian Gate quickly, and walked along the palace road towards Tai Chi Hall.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Perhaps because of the unusual morning court today, Emperor Hongxuan did not let the court officials wait like before. The court officials had just walked into the hall and the queues were not even arranged. Emperor Hongxuan was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Then he turned out from the back hall, his face was very dull, but the prince Xiao Ruhai, who was following him, looked red in color, and seemed to be extremely nervous. The court officials did not dare to look at him anymore, and each knelt down.
He fell to the ground and praised him very much.
"Flat." Emperor Hongxuan walked to the large seat on the front wall and sat upright, shook his wide sleeves, raised his hand and said without moving.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
When the court officials bowed to thank the priests, the sharp-eyed officials discovered a strange situation, that is, when Emperor Hongxuan called out this sentence, the prince Xiao Ruhai had not yet sat down. This was obviously not in line with the court etiquette, and seemed to be a hint.
Some of them, but at this time, the court officials did not dare to think too much. After they thanked the holy grace, they stood up and returned to their own people.
"Where is Liang Siyi?" Emperor Hongxuan lit up the name of Liang Siyi, the minister of Dali Temple, without waiting for the court officials to stand still.
"I'm here." Liang Siyi is old and his legs are not very straight. He has just climbed up from the floor and his waist has not been straightened yet. Suddenly, he heard the emperor plastering, bowing and rushing out.
Although the speed is not slow, his pace is a little staggering, which is particularly funny, but at this moment, people dare to act rudely.
"I ask you, how is Chen Haoran's case of rebellion?" Emperor Hongxuan was obviously preparing to set a tone for today's morning court, but he did not intend to let the court officials report the matter, and directly brought out the rebellion case.
As soon as the words were spoken, the ministers in the hall immediately started to buzz with different expressions, some were happy, some were worried, and some were ready to watch the fun, but most court officials were still preparing to see them at any time
The wind changes its power, and it can be said that some companies are happy and some are sad.
"Report to the Master, the case is under trial, and the rebel Chen Haoran has confessed. The current confession is here, but..." Liang Siyi took out a thick note from his wide sleeve and raised it high above his head.
But he only said half of the words and stopped.
"Well? What are your concerns? But I will make the decision for you." Emperor Hongxuan glanced at the restless prince Xiao Ruhai, then said slowly.
"Old minister dare not." Liang Siyi took a small step back, knelt on the ground, and replied with a trembling voice.
"Tell me, I'm so worried." Emperor Hongxuan frowned, waved his hand unhappily, and shouted coldly.
"This is shocking. The old minister really dares not speak out. I beg your Majesty to investigate." Liang Siyi kowtowed repeatedly, but refused to make clear the case that had been clarified, but just raised the memorandum in his hand higher.
"Hmph, come on!" Emperor Hongxuan saw that Liang Siyi refused to say anything, but he had no choice but to snort coldly, waved his hand, and signaled the little eunuch who was attending the side to take the note and spread it on the dragon table.
, browsed quickly, and his gloomy face turned pale in an instant. He glanced at the prince whose face was red like blood, and shouted: "Xuan!"
"Yes, I obey the order." Gao Dacheng, the eunuch of Sili standing behind Emperor Hongxuan, quickly responded, bowed his body and took two steps forward, carefully held up the fold on the dragon table with both hands,
Then he walked to the front of the front wall, looked around the ministers in the hall, and proclaimed: "My name, Liang Siyi has a copy and reported to the emperor: I am ordered to supervise the case of Chen Haoran's rebellion. After trial, the criminals in the case are as follows..."
Damn it, it turns out that the prince is really stupid. It would be fine if such a secret matter is entrusted to someone else, but it is well known that the waste is really a huge waste! When Xiao Wei heard the beginning, he
I know that there are some things written in the memorials, and I am really worried about the prince's ignorance. Fortunately, this situation was already expected by Xiao Wei, but he was not afraid of not being able to deal with it. However, he saw Emperor Hongxuan.
When Xiao Wei seemed to be deposed when he was not in charge, he couldn't help but slam the prince. Unfortunately, he had no turning back. No matter how difficult it was, Xiao Wei had to bite the bullet and go.
.
"... The words of one family are not trustworthy. I ask Your Majesty to verify them. Do not be ruthless and do not let the precepts be justified. I risk my life to hear them." The memorial was not short, Gao Dacheng had been reciting a stick of incense for a long time, and finally Liang Siyi was finally defeated.
The memorials and several confessions were thought of.
"Is the prince who has anything to say about this? Hum?" As soon as Gao Dacheng finished speaking, Emperor Hongxuan looked at the trembling prince Xiao Ruhai with his eyes squinted and asked in a gloomy tone.
"The father clearly understands that the child has made mistakes in observing the truth, but he has stopped the heart of his father. He has heard that such a rebellious case has been reported, and the child has thoroughly investigated all parts of the Eastern Palace. It is up to the great grace of his father and the stolen seller.
The thief in the arsenal has already understood that there are the final letters of the thief and the confessions of several living verbals. The two ministers really dare not expect their father to be exempted and beg their father to punish their ministers for their great mistakes." Although Xiao Ruhai was trembling all over, he kept shaking
But facing this life-and-death juncture, I still insisted on not falling into a complete collapse. I took out a note from my sleeve, held it in both hands, held it high above my head, and explained it with a tremolo sound. Generally speaking,
According to Xiao Wei's original explanation, it seemed as if he had suffered a lot of grievances in his cowardly appearance.
"Your Majesty, I have a seal here."
The prince said pitifully, but unfortunately others did not intend to let him go. Before the prince handed over the note, the censor Song Yao had already rushed out of the queue, holding the memorial in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Tell me!" Emperor Hongxuan did not ask the eunuchs to take over the memorial from the prince. He didn't even look at the prince. He looked at Song Yao and hummed a word from his teeth.
"I want to impeach His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior, gather private soldiers, hoard weapons, and hide strong bows and crossbows. His intentions are suspicious. After the incident, he did not repent and conspired with villains, murdered and silenced his mouth, forged evidence,
I hope to get away with it, and I am very disappointed in this way. It is not what a monarch should do. It is a great rebellion. As a censor, I dare not not attend the meeting. I beg Your Majesty to depose this rebellion and return the appeasement of the universe.
Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Song Yao said indignantly, and his words were extremely tough, pointing out the prince's rebellion and demanding that Emperor Hongxuan depose the prince in court.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the Censor Song said is very good. Such evil rebellion steals the position of crown prince is a great misfortune for our dynasty. If it is not eliminated, it will not be enough to calm the public's anger." As soon as Song Yao finished speaking, Dongfang Long, the Minister of Works, immediately
He stood up and spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"
"Your Majesty, I think what the Censor of Song said is very true. If this evil is not eliminated, the court will be in a bad state!"
"Your Majesty, the main evil should be punished, and those who are ruthless must be eliminated. I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly and not to spare such ruthless people!"
Dongfang Long is the leader of the second prince Xiao Rutao and his official group. He was about to come out in one stop, and naturally a large group of officials followed behind him. Nearly fifty court officials stood up to call on Emperor Hongxuan.
The deposed prince, and his words were irrelevant, and his power was great. Everyone shouted and beat him. His words were fierce, and Xiao Ruhai became a rat crossing the street.
Xiao Ruhai was a cowardly person. When he saw so many ministers impeach him, his face turned pale immediately, and he knelt on the ground with trembling trembling, and his whole body was immediately on the verge of collapse.
No, this bastard is not enough! Xiao Wei saw something wrong with the prince at a glance, and his heart sank, and he wanted to run forward and write a ruthless note to the prince so that he could wake up.
However, even though I think about it, it is impossible to do it. Do you want to come out to support the scene? The time is not yet ripe. It is not time for Xiao Wei to perform on stage. Seeing that things are going to be broken, Xiao Wei has to be right.
Fang Minwu, who was standing opposite, gave a look.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also wrote a memorial." Fang Minwu didn't want to stand up at this time, but first, it was because the momentum was wrong, and second, after seeing Xiao Wei's hint, he couldn't help but let him go.
After all his help, he had to flash out of the queue. However, he unexpectedly came forward like this, and the second prince and the officials who were clamoring for a while, not only did not stop, but instead shouted a little more vigorously.
Suddenly it became as noisy as a vegetable market...
