Can officials protect each other? Collusion between officials and businessmen? Can family massacres also be called a deer for horses? It is terrifying.
Silence, after a long silence, Jian Chuan stood up and said cautiously: "Brother Zong, follow me to see the Zuo Prime Minister."
This is the only way Jian Chuan can think of now, and perhaps the most correct way.
Zong Ze was open-minded, so he did not hesitate at all and followed Jian Chuan out.
Qi Qingxuan suddenly ran in from outside the door, panting but feeling relieved, saying, "Fortunately, I caught up. After I received Brother Chunzhu's letter, I didn't dare to delay it. I went to the Jiaofangsi directly, but my sister asked me to come back.
, and said that if the young master has not been taken away, then I will hand over this letter to the young master."
Jian Chuan carefully opened the letter, which read: The murderer is Liang Yihang, the third son of Liang Yihang, Liang Yihang, in the Western Xia Dynasty. Do not interfere.
Liang Yibi, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Lao Liang, the brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang, the uncle, the prime minister of the Western Xia Dynasty, was powerful and had a hand covering the sky. Last year, the Empress Dowager Lao Liang passed away, and the royal party in the Western Xia Dynasty got a rare chance to breathe, and then
He launched a counterattack against the Liang Party, and the Liang Party's response method was to constantly provoke wars. The Song State was weak and was his first choice. He would have to make trouble if he had nothing to do. If Liang Yi led to justice, the two countries would
The war will surely break out, and this is definitely something that most people in this dynasty are unwilling to face.
Jian Chuan even felt that Liang Yihang massacred the Zou family on purpose.
Suddenly, I felt that my legs were heavy and heavy, and I was struggling to move. The letter paper in my hand had been pinched into a ball and didn't know it.
Zong Ze called Brother Sheng, pulled Jian Chuan's thoughts back to reality, and sighed and said, "Brother Zong, don't go, I will go by myself, don't worry, I will do my best to erase Brother Zong's crimes and
I will bring my cousin back safely."
After reading the letter, Zong Ze saw the big difference, so he looked at the letter paper that Jian Chuan was holding tightly and said, "Can you let me see it?"
Jian Chuan didn't know if he should let Zong Ze see it, and he didn't know what Zong Ze would react after seeing it, but Zong Ze's eyes stubbornly told Jian Chuan a fact that he had to see it. If Jian Chuan didn't give it to him.
He saw that he would rather give up Jian Chuan's help.
So, after a long struggle, Jian Chuan still compromised, spread the wrinkled paper balls flat, and handed them to Zong Ze.
After seeing it, Zong Ze's face did not change, but his fingertips were trembling slightly. I don't know how long it took to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "My brother, can you arrange to meet your cousin first for me?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and knew that Zong Ze had compromised, but he misread Zong Ze, and Zong Ze also misread Jian Chuan.
Then the letter was circulated by everyone, and Lu Liu and Xiao Suyun, who knew nothing but nothing, were silent.
So, Jian Chuan went out with his stomach and went to the royal palace, Sima's mansion, and Fan's mansion one after another. However, the three old men were not in the mansion. I think so, even though such a big thing happened, the three elders were not in charge of criminal affairs, but after all, they were important officials of the dynasty.
How could we not discuss urgently in the imperial city? So Jian Chuan made up his mind and ran directly to Chengtian Gate, and made up his mind to pay attention. Even if it was a soft and hard work today, he had to ask the three elders to come forward.
Rescuing Zong Ze's cousin was saved from worrying about Zong Ze's heart.
After waiting for almost three hours, I saw carriages parked in front of Chengtian Gate. Then the high-ranking official got out of the carriage and rushed to the palace in a hurry, but few of them came out.
So Jian Chuan knew that the Zou family massacre seemed much more serious than he expected.
After waiting for too long, Jian Chuan was anxious and hungry. Suddenly, he saw a luxurious carriage coming out of the Tianmen, but it was not the three old men. He was disappointed and glanced at it and lost interest.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped beside Jian Chuan. The curtain was lifted, and Sister Gao's kind and gentle smile came into her eyes: "I saw that it was you from afar. What are you doing here?"
"Hey, Sister Gao, why are you here?" Jian Chuan asked in confusion and asked without answering a question.
"Oh, I went to the palace with His Highness the eldest princess to pay homage to the queen mother today. Now, the queen mother was upset and unwell, so the princess stayed to take care of her. However, it was not convenient for me to stay in the palace. I won't leave the palace and go back to the house first. ”
Listening to Sister Gao's slow explanation, Jian Chuan did not doubt that he had him, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked tentatively: "Oh, is the Empress Dowager unwell? It's nothing serious."
Caring for the mother of the country is the obligation of every citizen, so Jian Chuan felt that he was asking no problem. However, when he knew the true identity of the eldest sister Gao in front of him in the future, his body was also cold. I deeply understand what social death is.
However, how could Jian Chuan know that his little thoughts and cleverness are just a joke in Sister Gao's eyes? People want you to ask, so they answered: "It's all the one who killed thousands of swords in Xixia Kingdom. It hurts the Empress Dowager, but she is very angry."
Oh, it turns out that the court already knew the whole story. Jian Chuan thought about it, but heard Sister Gao continue to say, "I don't know what those people are thinking, what else to discuss, I'm just cutting it into pieces. Humph, I feel so angry when I think about this."
Upon hearing this, Jian Chuan was instantly silent. This matter was not something that could be discussed casually. Sister Gao didn't let him go and asked bluntly: "Hey, why don't you talk?"
Jian Chuan immediately dressed and said, "Ah? What did Sister Gao say? Has something big happened?"
Hearing this, Sister Gao pursed her lips. Jian Chuan felt that she was holding back her smile, but she didn't tell any jokes, so she thought it was her own illusion. However, Sister Gao was very hard to hold on. As Jian Chuan said, "Have you heard of the Zou family massacre? Forty-nine people were slaughtered, and even the babies who were still in their infancy were not spared, and they were killed by a desperate situation. Is it hateful? Should it be cut into pieces?"
Jian Chuan continued to pretend to be stupid: "Oh, of course I heard about this, yes, it should be cut into pieces, but it wasn't that only one woman was caught, and the adulterer was still running away? ”
Sister Gao immediately scoffed and said, "All adulterers are fake. When those officials reported to the Empress Dowager, they were serving each other, but they all heard it. Don't tell me if you tell me."
Then before Jian Chuan made a statement, he couldn't wait to tell the whole story: "The so-called adulterer ** are all the bastards in the Ministry of Justice who are self-decided, saying that they are afraid of causing disputes between the two countries and what big things should be turned into small things. It was transformed, so I forced an adulterer to be a scapegoat. How could I have such an official? It's really irritating."
Speaking of this, Sister Gao shut up and was only angry, but Jian Chuan hadn't said the most concerned thing, but he saw that he had no intention of continuing to say it, so he could only carefully induce it and ask: " Is the Queen Mother so uncomfortable with these officials' aura?"
But when Sister Gao suddenly covered her face with her hands, she turned slightly and prevented Jian Chuan from seeing her face clearly. Of course, Jian Chuan was not in the mood to observe her words and expressions. He was eager to know Empress Dowager Gao's attitude, and Sister Gao did give it
The answer was: "No, the Empress Dowager broke Yu Ruyi in her hand on the spot, threatening to kill the officials of the Ministry of Justice and bring the real murderer to justice."
Speaking of this, Sister Gao stopped again, but Jian Chuan was so choked that she couldn't even care whether she was arbitrary or not, and asked bluntly: "What about it?"
Fortunately, Sister Gao did not feel suspicious. Of course, Jian Chuan felt so. She only heard Sister Gao say: "Then, a group of men kneeled on the ground like women, saying that for the sake of the people of the world, tens of millions
You can't start a war again. Listen to this, it makes no sense, and you don't know how they said it."
"There is no one who speaks for the Queen Mother."
"There are a few younger ones who couldn't stand up and said, but they didn't seem to be a high-ranking official, and no one listened to what they said. Those who looked like they were high-ranking officials either didn't speak or just advised the Queen Mother to do so.
It’s time to settle things, and I’m so angry that I always serve you by my side, let alone the Queen Mother.”
After saying this, Jian Chuan stopped and no longer needed to ask, because after asking clearly, he could see clearly in his heart. In general, Empress Dowager Gao was a radical faction and had to face the coercion from Xixia, while most of the civil and military officials in the court were
They are all conservatives and are unwilling to start a war for their own reasons.
As for the three elders of Wang Anshi, Jian Chuan speculated that they should be conservative, not as soft-hearted, but as long as the war begins, the great scholars' discussion of etiquette and subsequent grand goals may be delayed indefinitely. They value the overall situation rather than the current situation.
The gains and losses cannot be said to be wrong.
At this time, Sister Gao also clearly stated the information she wanted to convey, so she stopped talking and handed Jian Chuan a food box, taking the opportunity to change the topic and said: "I heard that you have been screaming for a long time.
I’m hungry, this is some snacks from the imperial kitchen. The prince-in-law likes to eat so he takes a little more, so you can eat some cushion."
While speaking, he had already opened the food box and handed over a refined osmanthus cake. Jian Chuan was really hungry, and he also had a natural sense of intimacy with this Gao sister, so he didn't refuse. He took it and swallowed it voraciously.
I almost choked, but fortunately, Sister Gao was quick-witted and handed over mung bean soup.
Jian Chuan recalled this scene many years later. Although he was still embarrassed by the society, he had to sigh that this was the peak of his life.
Then, while eating and drinking, Jian Chuan talked to Sister Gao. When Jian Chuan had enough food and drink, Sister Gao left on the grounds that it was getting late, but Jian Chuan did not leave. After all, the third one
I haven't seen it yet, and the business has not been completed.
