Chapter 263: The unexpected helper that turns the tide (2)
When meeting a guy like Xiao Wei who always likes to mess around, Emperor Hongxuan felt a headache, especially in this court, he was suddenly laughed by Xiao Wei's cold joke. The originally solemn court discussion was simply
It became a joke. Emperor Hongxuan was really helpless in dealing with Xiao Wei. After all, King Qi also told a story before. Since Emperor Hongxuan did not say Xiao Rutao’s fault in front of him, it is naturally difficult to say Xiao Wei Hu now.
But if I let it go, there is no need to continue the court discussion. Just when I was in a dilemma, I suddenly saw Xiao Ruhao flashing out from the side. Emperor Hongxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still indifferent.
He just raised his hands and said, "Haoer has something to say, so let's say something, I'll listen to it very well."
"Yes, my child follows the order." Xiao Ruhao bowed solemnly and bowed, then stood up straight, and looked at Emperor Hongxuan with a bright look and said, "Father, my son and I think that the disciples are competing for profit."
, After the incident broke out, the minister thought that the case should be examined first and then made a case. Anyone involved in it will be handed over to the three departments to distinguish right from wrong. This is the foolish opinion of the minister, and I beg my father to the sage.
”
Although Xiao Ruhao was passionate, he actually had one meaning after all, that was, the court discussion was put aside first. The court officials in the palace could understand this. As for whether they agree or not, they had to say a little bit.
It's fine - From the perspective of the prince, if you can pass the difficult court meeting temporarily, the matters that come later can be slowly rectified, and there will naturally be a turning point. Obviously, the prince will naturally not object to such a
The proposal was different from Xiao Rutao. Although Jiang Wangshu was temporarily passive because of the rebellion, it did not mean that it was a failure. After all, for this court discussion, Xiao Rutao prepared a lot of killer weapons.
Jiang Wangshu was just one of them. Xiao Rutao was still sure to make the situation back. Under such circumstances, Xiao Rutao naturally refused to stop, but the bitter plan he had raised before was just pulled by Xiao Wei.
It was difficult to force yourself to come forward at this time, so I had to use my eyes to hint Xiao Ruyi.
"Father, my son thinks that my sixth brother's words are wrong. Now the case has been cleared, so why is it unclear? Even if the villain makes random arguments, he cannot change his behavior of rebellion. My son begs to ask
Father, you know how to understand!" Xiao Ruyi had already come back from his previous embarrassment at this time. As soon as he received Xiao Rutao's hint, he stood up with understanding and reported loudly.[
"Yes, Your Majesty, the case has been clear, why do you need to investigate again?"
"Your Majesty, I think Jiang Wangshu colluded with the prince and secretly carried out a plan to make a bitter meat. He should be punished. I beg you to surrender your order to punish such evil thieves and return the appeasement of our court!"
"Your Majesty, I think what Your Highness, the King of Shu, is said very much. You should not slander the rebels who are plotting against each other. I hope your Majesty will make a clear decision!"
Xiao Ruyi spoke all the way, and officials from Dongfang Long and other second princes naturally began to echo, shouting and beating and killing each other. The atmosphere that was originally depressed because of Jiang Wangshu's incident suddenly became popular again.
Seeing that the officials of the second prince and his team were holding on to themselves, Xiao Ruhai was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to stand up and oppose Xiao Ruyi's proposal at this time, so he had to try his best to look at Xiao Wei.
He hoped that Xiao Wei could stand up and speak for him, but Xiao Wei just pretended not to see him, and stood in the hall with a frown slightly, intending to sit and watch.
What did Lao Ba want to do? Do you want to be a peacemaker? There is no reason! Xiao Wei naturally heard that Xiao Ruhao's words meant to be mixed, but he was a little confused about why he wanted to do this.
Logically speaking, Xiao Ruhao should be consistent with Xiao Rutao when it comes to overthrow of the prince. After all, only if the prince falls down, they have the opportunity to compete for the prince. Now that the prince is shaking, Xiao Ruhao really has no
The reason for helping the prince is, unless Xiao Ruhao believes that he can't fight against Xiao Rutao, but as Xiao Wei knows, the forces under the Xiang Palace seem to be secretly supporting Xiao Ruhao, and maybe they have reached a certain tacit understanding. If they really want to fight, Xiao Ruhao
It shouldn't be in a weak position, but now Xiao Ruhao has become a peacemaker. There is nothing strange about it here, so how can Xiao Wei believe it? In the unclear situation, Xiao Wei is naturally unwilling to take action randomly.
I wanted to see what the trend was before making plans, so even though Xiao Ruhai's eyes were almost turning into cross-eyes, Xiao Wei just pretended not to see it.
"Father, my son thinks that the fourth brother has made such a mistake. Lord Liang is the chief trialist and has not yet concluded the case. Before that, even if there is a dispute, it is in vain. My son begs my father to issue an edict to allow Lord Liang to continue the case.
It is appropriate to make a decision as soon as possible, and please think twice. "Xiao Ruhao didn't mind the noise of the second prince and the officials. He just smiled and waited for the ministers to shout that they were tired, and then he spoke calmly.
"Yes." Emperor Hongxuan said without any objection, looked at Liang Siyi standing beside him, and asked calmly, "What does Liang Aiqing think Hao'er said?"
Such cases involving the battle for the throne are not so easy to try. God knows what happens to these princes who are anxious and red-eyed. Since Liang Siyi took this case, he can be said to be a foodie. Every day
Everyone was thinking about how to handle the case cleanly. Unfortunately, most suspects were either court officials or eunuchs around the prince. Without the imperial edict, Liang Siyi could not tell them that these people were present in court. He had watched coldly before.
The princes fought so fiercely that they were even more confident. When they heard Emperor Hongxuan’s question, they complained secretly, but they had to answer, so they had to bow and replied, “If you can get the grace of Your Majesty,
If you are aware of your actions, your weak ministers should devote themselves to their own efforts.”
"Well." Emperor Hongxuan nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, he asked, "How long does it take for Liang Aiqing to settle this case?"
"This..." Liang Siyi dared not report the time limit. If he could not complete the task, wouldn't he seek death? He hesitated and dared not report back.
"Father, the case is clear, so why do you need to retrial? This is the time to close the case. Do not slander the thief!" As soon as he saw Liang Siyi's hesitation, Xiao Ruyi was anxious, afraid of delaying it.
After the day, there were so many dreams in the night, so I stood up and shouted loudly.
"Yes, how can I try the case that has been tried? Lord Liang will not be trying to cover up the thief's rebellion."
"Yes, the case has been clear. We should make a decision early and do not let the thief escape."
"What the King of Shu said is the most reasonable!"
The second prince's group had a large number of officials. The group agreed with Xiao Ruyi, and the momentum was huge, and the hall suddenly became a mess.
"You are so clamoring. Have you forgotten the rules of not being rude in front of you? It's absurd!" Just as the second prince and his officials were cheering, they saw the white-haired and white-haired old teacher Lin Guodong walking from the side He came out and shouted without hesitation.
Lin Guodong is a veteran of the three dynasties. Although he has not often shown his face in the court over the years, his prestige is still there. As soon as he stands out, his ministers are all mute. No one dares to face him. The one who contradicted was that Xiao Rutao and Xiao Ruyi did not have the courage. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only retreat aside, lowered their heads, and listened to Lin Guodong's instructions.
"Does the old teacher have any opinions on this case?" Emperor Hongxuan obviously did not expect Lin Guodong to come out at this time. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and smiled gently. Asked tentatively.[
"Your Majesty, the old minister is rash, but the ministers are making trouble too disrespectful. Since Your Majesty has been handed over to Lord Liang for trial, the old minister thinks whether the case is closed or not should be based on what Lord Liang said. Just a small case, how to investigate it, how to investigate it, why should you argue about it? This is the foolish opinion of the old minister, and you also ask Your Majesty to decide the lotus." After Lin Guodong scolded the ministers, he turned around to face Emperor Hongxuan , bowed and said loudly.
Lin Guodong's words were quite suspicious of relying on his seniority, but he did have this qualification. Even if Emperor Hongxuan was an emperor, he could not refute his opinions in person. He had to smiled and sang in a deep voice. After a moment, he stared at Liang Siyi and said, "Love Liang, I will give you ten days to do it. You will do it cheaply. Anyone involved in the case, Luoqing Liang can be detained. I will give you the decree. I hope you will not let me down. My high hopes.”
"I received the order to thank you. I should act according to Your Majesty's will and I will never make any mistakes." Although Liang Siyi was reluctant to hear the case again, he could only kneel down on the ground and thanked him with a grudge. kindness.
"Well, I remember my words." Emperor Hongxuan glanced at Liang Siyi with a deep meaning, said a little ambiguously, then stood up and walked towards the back hall.
"Retreat the court..." Gao Dacheng, the eunuch who was serving Emperor Hongxuan, stood up when he saw Emperor Hongxuan, quickly shouted, and then quickly followed Emperor Hongxuan's steps. , hurried into the back hall.
A hot-tempered court discussion was so incomplete. It is no exaggeration to say that it was abandoned halfway. Even if the court officials had any other thoughts, they had to use it completely and had to discuss it. The land went outside the hall, and those with different positions had different expressions. It was really a few happy and sad. No one knew how the case would end, and it was impossible to say when it would be possible. It's over, maybe there will be a life-and-death battle on the day the mystery is revealed, and it's hard to say.
"Ninth brother, Ninth brother." Everyone dispersed, Xiao Weizi didn't want to stay too much. He was also anxious to go back to the mansion and discuss his life with Lin Chongming, but before he could reach the entrance of the hall, Prince Xiao Ruhai rushed from behind He came up and shouted several times in an urgent tone.
"What are the instructions of the prince?" Although Xiao Wei was very annoyed by Xiao Ruhai, he could not show his face at this time. He had to stop, turn around, bow and bow and bow. road.
"Ninth brother, if you have time, you might as well sit down at your brother's place for a while, and you and my brother can have a good chat." Although Xiao Ruhai had barely passed the court discussion this time, he still had a little bit of a problem with the back of his hand.
There wasn't even any, so I was eager to consult Xiao Wei for a long time. I hoped that Xiao Wei could help him with some advice.
"The prince's brother is kind to me. It's getting late. I haven't been asleep last night and I have a headache. I dare not bother with my brother. I will go to the East Palace to pay my respects to the prince's brother tomorrow morning."
I was afraid that I would not be in the mood to talk nonsense to Xiao Ruhai at this time, so I politely declined.
"Then..., it's good, it's good." Xiao Ruhai was disappointed when he heard that Xiao Wei refused to return to the palace with him. But at this time, Xiao Ruhai dared not show Xiao Wei's face, so he had to
He said a few awkwardly, turned around and led the eunuchs to go there. Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Ruhai's back, shook his head with a wry smile, and lowered his head to the outsider...
