Chapter 247 Let’s see what I, Princess Maode, can do
A strange injustice has been committed through the ages, and I heard the sound of drums.
Zhao Ji has been in power for so many years, but the Dengwen drum has never sounded.
When the officials in the palace heard the drums, their expressions changed, and they started talking and making a lot of noise.
Zhao Ji had a sullen face, put down the glass wine cup in his hand, stood up and walked away.
When the drum sounds, no matter what the emperor is doing, he must go to court.
Wang Lin stood up slowly, also a little surprised.
He had only seen the so-called Dengwen drum thing in TV series in his previous life. He never expected that there was such a Dengwen drum that went directly to the emperor. It actually sounded at this moment and disturbed the emperor's banquet.
Zhao Ji led his ministers to the main hall of Yanfu Palace.
Let’s talk about Dengwen Drum Courtyard.
The earth-shattering sound of the Dengwen Drum sounded. The Dengwen Drum Courtyard official, who was hiding in the front yard to play money, was shocked. He hurriedly reported to the chief officer of the Drum Court, Cao Gui, the censor on duty. Cao Gui had eaten a lot of wine at noon and was intoxicated.
I had a hazy dream about Duke Zhou. I suddenly heard someone beating a drum to complain about injustice, and I woke up from the wine.
Then, when he saw the drummer wearing a first-class princess dress and recognized it as Zhao Fujin, the Maode Emperor of the reign, he was almost scared to death.
If ordinary people complained of grievances and drummed, he should go to trial first and get a rough idea before going to the palace to report to the emperor. But how could he dare to deal with the princess beating drums?
Cao Gui did not dare to neglect, so he immediately rode into the palace and went to Yanfu Palace to report to the officials. Zhao Fujin followed closely behind in his carriage.
Outside Yanfu Palace.
Cao Gui bowed in courtesy and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and report to the officials, who will make a decision!"
Zhao Fujin smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "Master Cao, please go, I will be summoned in front of the palace gate."
Cao Gui whispered a few words to Huang Kun at the door of the main hall. Huang Kun's expression also changed suddenly, and he hurried into the main hall and whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear.
Zhao Ji suddenly stood up with a look of astonishment on his face. He hesitated for a while, but slowly sat down. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Wang Lin and said with a forced smile: "Prince of Bohai County, I originally held a banquet for you today, but what can I do?"
Someone is beating drums to complain, and according to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, I have to go to court to hear the case... In this way, you leave the palace and return to the house first, and I will convey the decree later. Go."
Wang Lin frowned.
Good guy, you actually have to avoid this? Could it have something to do with you?
Wang Lin thought about lightning in his mind, his expression remained unchanged, but he bowed and said: "In that case, I will leave now!"
Wang Lin exited the main hall, but several small yellow gates led him to the side door, avoiding the main entrance. He became more doubtful, but he did not say anything.
Wang Lin left Yanfu Palace and walked along the palace road. On the way, he met Yan Cui who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Yancui fell to the ground and said, "I am under the orders of His Highness, please ask the prince to leave the palace and return home as soon as possible!"
Wang Lin stepped forward quickly, helped Yan Cui up and said in a deep voice: "Why? What happened? Did something happen to Maode?"
Yan Cui whispered once. Seeing that Wang Lin was so angry that he seemed to be about to explode, she couldn't help but grabbed his arm in panic and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has repeatedly told the servants that you must be calm and don't be impatient. She beat the Dengwen drum,
Just to confront Bo Chaotang with people like Zhou Ji and prove his innocence!"
"His Highness said that a little impatience will mess up a big plan. The county prince has just been crowned king and it is not appropriate to be enemies with the courtiers. She also said that these people are Lu Yihao's disciples and old friends. If the county prince pities her, he should not interfere and let her deal with it.
."
Wang Lin took a deep breath.
He looked back at the majestic and silent Yanfu Palace.
The fire in his eyes was blazing.
He never expected that Lu Yihao's old disciple would dare to show up at this moment. He didn't dare to publicly impeach him, so he turned around and targeted Zhao Fujin!
Wang Lin had to admit at this moment that his heart was still not hard enough. Lu Yihao's disciples had many old friends. How could it serve as a deterrent if he didn't kill everyone and shed blood?
He also understood why Zhao Fujin suddenly sounded the Dengwen drum.
She wanted to use this method to confront Zhou Ji Jiaohe and others who were impeached, and avoid getting into trouble with the civil servants of the Song Dynasty again.
Thinking of her thin body walking proudly in the hall, he felt a pain in his heart.
Wang Lin gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out of the palace with a long stride.
Anyway, if Maode was even slightly wronged today, he would turn Tokyo upside down!
If Emperor Zhao Ji can't even protect his own daughter, then it's up to him!
All the ancestral etiquette, the evaluation and reputation of the world’s nobles, go to hell!
…
Zhao Fujin walked slowly into the hall.
All civil and military officials in the court were stunned, and their breathing became rapid.
The few courtiers who knew about it had some speculations, and their eyes were cast on Zhou Ji, the admonishing doctor, whose expressions changed at this moment, Jiao He, the direct bachelor of Longtuge and the leader of Kaifeng Prefecture, and others.
Zhao Fujin walked to the Danqi and knelt down: "My maid Maode, long live my emperor!"
Zhao Ji rubbed his hands and sighed: "Maode, why are you doing this? Get up!"
Zhao Ji winked desperately.
Zhao Fujin came well prepared, so naturally he turned a blind eye and did not get up. He said loudly: "My daughter has a grievance. Because she involves a foreign minister, I have to beat the drum to go up to heaven to hear it. I also ask the officials to make the decision for my daughter!"
Huang Kun quickly walked down from Danqi and helped Zhao Fujin up: "Your Highness, please get up!"
Zhao Ji's lips twitched. According to the Song Dynasty's ancestral system, no matter who plays the Dengwen drum, he, the emperor, must accept it. Just because the drummer is a princess, it does not break the rules.
"Maode, if you have any grievance, you can complain to the court and I will make the decision for you."
Zhao Fujin turned around, suddenly looked around at the ministers, and said with a sneer: "Although I am a member of the female class, I also know the rules of our dynasty. I can advise the officials and discuss matters with the wind. Don't say that I am an imperial concubine, and I am an official."
, I guess you can impeach me if you want to."
"I heard that more than ten courtiers, including Zhou Ji, the official of the palace, and Jiao He, the governor of Kaifeng, submitted a petition to impeach me, accusing me of not practicing good morals, of secretly giving and receiving to foreign ministers, and of filthy disorder in the harem?"
"It doesn't matter, you have the power to impeach, but I must also have the power to prove my innocence, right?"
"Zhou Ji, Jiao He, I would like to ask you, why do you throw dirty water on me? Where is the evidence?"
Zhou Ji and Jiao He were called out in public and had to step forward.
"Officials, Your Highness, it is an ancient system to remonstrate with officials and discuss official affairs. It has been like this since ancient times. I heard that His Highness Maode had an affair with a foreign minister and had a lot of contacts. Therefore, he submitted an impeachment report. The original intention was to correct the rules and regulations and help the officials.
The family cleans up the harem and cultivates the dignity of the royal family, how can it end up throwing dirty water?" Zhou Ji said proudly.
Zhao Fujin's sudden beating of the Dengwen drum really surprised them, but they were not afraid.
What kind of flowers can a teenage girl make?
As for evidence, what other evidence is needed? It’s a rumor! That’s all!
Of course, their move was aimed at Wang Lin. As for Emperor Maode, it was just a cover! Whether it succeeded or not didn't matter, as long as they could further damage Wang Lin's reputation, they had achieved their goal!
"Father, please ask the female officials in the palace to test the innocence of the courtiers." Zhao Fujin glanced coldly at Zhou Ji and Jiao He. Today, she was going to show these confident officials and admonishers the tricks of the Maode Emperor!
…
The female medical officer in the palace took Zhao Fujin to the side hall for examination. After the examination was completed, he returned to the main hall and said, "I will report back to the official family that His Highness Maode is innocent and fine, and he is still a virgin!"
Zhao Ji was overjoyed.
Zhou Ji and Jiao He quickly looked at each other, both a little shocked.
Although they had heard about the matter, they did not have no sources of information at all.
The spy in the palace said that Wang Lin and Maode had been living together for several days, but she was still a virgin...
Zhao Fujin sneered: "Zhou Ji, Jiao He, what do you say?"
Jiao He bowed: "Your Highness, I am still saying the same thing. If you have heard about the matter and have any evidence, you can report it! I am not doing this not to slander Your Highness, but to remind Your Highness that the etiquette and laws of the Song Dynasty cannot be abolished and the dignity of the royal family cannot be abolished."
destroy!"
Zhao Fujin suddenly cursed angrily: "You bastards! According to your logic, no matter what, it is my fault, so I can just let you talk dirty words to me? I am surprised, you are from the Song Dynasty court.
Are you talking to officials and admonishing officials, or are you the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"
"What bullshit logic! If I say to you, Zhou Ji, Mr. Zhou's wife Hongxing is cheating on you and having an affair with your foreign husband, will you go back home and divorce your wife?"
Zhou Ji's expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness, please don't say bad words to your family members!"
Zhao Fujin took two steps and suddenly slapped him across the face: "Then can I just let you use your evil words?"
Zhou Ji was beaten and staggered.
Before Zhou Ji and others could react, Zhao Fujin fell to the ground with prostrations and cried out: "In the official family, my daughter is innocent, but she is slandered and slandered by such a thief. My daughter's innocence has been destroyed, and I no longer have the face to live in the world. My daughter."
Then he crashed to death in this hall!"
Zhao Fujin decisively took off the gold hairpin and jade crown on his head, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and hit the beams and pillars!
Zhao Ji was frightened and shouted for help. The ministers in the palace were also in a mess. They wanted to stop him but also considered that men and women were different and could not touch the princess at will. In the end, Huang Kun came over with two maids and stopped Zhao Fujin.
Zhao Fujin's face turned pale, he was panting, and said in a trembling voice: "Today, if the official family of the Song Dynasty, as well as the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty, don't give me an explanation, I will defend my innocence with my death!"
The prince Zhao Huan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said coldly: "Zhou Ji, Jiao He, you and others have heard about the impeachment of Maode, but it is related to the innocence of the princess of the dynasty. Even if no evidence can be provided, the source of the information must be provided and handed over to a competent authority.
Check!"
"Are you just fabricating something out of thin air?"
Zhou Ji shivered all over.
His source of information is his sister, Li Fei, another concubine of Zhao Ji. Can he still betray his sister at this moment?
Zhao Huan bowed to Zhao Ji and said: "In view of the rule of not killing officials in all dynasties, I thought that in order to uphold the rules and regulations, the case should be submitted to Dali Temple for trial. Anyone who can provide the source of the information, even if it is untrue, as long as
If it is not out of malice, you can be forgiven and innocent. If it is purely out of thin air and is a trap, you should be killed with a stick to serve as a warning to others!"
Li Gang came out and said: "I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
The courtiers were in an uproar, and the matter had become such a big deal. When the emperor of the dynasty proved his innocence and beat the drum, if these so-called admonishers were still allowed to talk nonsense, not only would the dignity of the Song Dynasty royal family be lost, but if the news spread,
The Song Dynasty court is a joke!
Besides, this group of people usually offends so many people, it would be strange if they don't add insult to injury right now.
Zhou Ji and Jiao He, with pale faces, fell into the hands of Dali Temple, which they often impeached. Do they still have a way to survive?
