The first person to be implicated in the case of General Wei was the Wei family. Now the person who can truly be regarded as a descendant of the Wei family in the court is Mr. Xiao Zhang, who is now famous.
Everyone was still wondering how she could talk, laugh, and discuss things with the Eighth Prince some time ago. After all, there was an engagement issue before.
But when she said these words, everyone suddenly understood.
It turns out that the root is here!
No matter how hard we look at each other, what does the love between our children mean in the face of blood feud?
The enemy of your enemy is your ally.
Everyone thought that Lord Zhang had probably already entered the Eighth Prince's camp.
Today, I am afraid that not only the queen will be convicted, but also the position of the prince is in danger. Even the position of the prince will change hands because of this!
"Although Lord Xiao Zhang is young, he has always been sensible. Don't worry, the Ai family will definitely give you and Princess Shaoqing an explanation for the matter regarding General Wei." Empress Dowager Xie glanced at Zhang Qingjiu and nodded with satisfaction.
Nodding, the disgust I felt in the past has now become more pleasing to my eyes.
Zhang Qingjiu also smiled slightly, nodded towards the Queen Mother behind the curtain and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for this."
Queen Mother Xie was covered by a curtain, and everyone could only see her figure swaying behind her, and then she sat down.
What she just said was sudden. When the ministers came to their senses, they found that at some point, she had crossed Chu Lan and stood in front of him.
Where it fell, it happened to block Chu Lan's steps toward Zhong Ling, and it also barely blocked the Queen Mother's sight of Chu Lan.
Zhong Ling narrowed his eyes. Although he regretted not forcing Chu Lan to lose his temper in public, Zhong Ling was still satisfied with getting Zhang Qingjiu as an ally. Although Zhang Qingjiu was not at odds with him before, today it seems that she is already a member of his own camp.
people.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ling nodded, and bowed to Zhang Qingjiu with admiration, "Although Mr. Zhang is young, his courage to speak out is really admirable to me."
After saying that, Zhong Ling turned to look at Chu Wei and said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, Sir Xiao Zhang is right. According to the laws of our dynasty, those who collaborate with the enemy and treason should be punished with death, and it is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes. The Queen is the
She is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince, so I did not dare to say anything. However, the laws of the court cannot be broken, let alone let the old minister die unjustly! Therefore, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to clearly understand the details and decide this case!!"
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed.
Can this be said casually? Destroy the nine tribes? Zhong Ling means to ask His Majesty to kill the prince? Isn't this too courageous?
However, just when everyone was frightened, many people actually knelt down, raised their arms and shouted: "Your Majesty, please give justice to Old General Wei! Make the law of Dahui clear!"
Although we know that it is human nature to act according to the prevailing circumstances, our reaction and attitude are so consistent that it would be a lie to say that there is really nothing fishy in it.
Zhang Qingjiu's eyes swept across the crowd of kneeling people, and then looked at the ministers with complex expressions and a faint hint of worry in their ashen complexions, with a hint of a smile but not a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Isn’t this a clear distinction between Jing and Wei?
Sighing faintly, Zhang Qingjiu raised his head and said, "Master Zhong, in addition to collaborating with the enemy and treason and punishing the nine tribes, are there any other laws in Dahui's laws?"
Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment. It was clear that Chu Wei could be forced to make a decision at this point. Why did Zhang Qingjiu suddenly speak at this time? It had already been arranged...
Thinking in his heart, Zhong Ling subconsciously looked at Chu Kuo. When he saw the other party secretly nodded towards him, he continued to answer: "Your Majesty is kind and since he came to the throne, he has abolished more than ten crimes against the nine tribes. Now he should be
There are only ten punishments for those who are punished by the Nine Tribes. One is those who conspire against the enemy, the other is those who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and the third is those who do not understand the details of the case and even beat the criminal into submission..."
When he finished all the ten points, Zhang Qingjiu nodded clearly, "So none of them said that those who marry from a foreign country will be punished by the nine tribes, right?"
"This... this is natural." Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly trembled in fright. If this happened, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty...
Zhang Qingjiu softly said "Oh", nodded, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for informing me."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhang." Zhong Ling nodded to Zhang Qingjiu in a rare calm manner.
Seeing the two people talking about the laws and regulations of the Great Hui, everyone was confused, wondering what the hell this Mr. Zhang was trying to do.
"Wait a minute, let me confirm with Mr. Zhong again. The person who framed the emperor's heir should also kill the nine tribes, right?" Just when Zhong Ling was about to attack again, Zhang Qingjiu spoke again.
When he heard this sentence, an inexplicable feeling suddenly emerged in Zhong Ling's heart, but the feeling came and went so quickly that he had no time to delve into it. In the end, he had to agree, "Master Xiao Zhang remembers it well, this is exactly what he said.
It’s the tenth point that I just mentioned.”
"Okay." Zhang Qingjiu nodded, sighed quietly, and spread his hands, "Then I have no doubts. The facts will be whatever they are. I leave it to Your Majesty to make your decision."
After saying that, Zhang Qingjiu took a step back.
The distance of one step was just enough for her to stand side by side with Chu Lan.
In the peripheral vision, a handsome and handsome man is lowering his head slightly. His smooth jawline hides half of his face in shadow. His half-downcast eyes make it impossible to see the look in his eyes, only the red ones.
Tear nevus is as red as blood and enchanting.
Zhang Qingjiu gritted his teeth and told himself to hold back.
I also prayed in my heart that the man next to me could endure it.
After all, he is the person chosen by her soul, so he must not embarrass her...
Just after Zhang Qingjiu finished speaking, Zhang Tailiu, the leader of the hundred officials who was standing, also knelt down. Under his leadership, the officials once again asked Chu Wei to give the order.
Looking at the minister who was almost kneeling a third of the way, a cold light flashed in Chu Wei's eyes.
He knew that these people formed a clique for their own benefit in the court, but he never thought that they would reach this point. There were even a few people he had never thought of, and this time, they were among them!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the burning anger in his heart, and waved his hand.
On the other side, Chu Kuo looked at Chu Wei's cold face, and his heart had never been so excited and joyful as at this moment. Soon Chu Lan would become the heir of the thief, and then came the news that he had been abolished, and then...
…This is the imperial edict for him to be established as the prince.
He had even thought about how to express his gratitude and how to humiliate the "wasted prince" who was once aloof and now a prisoner.
The corners of his mouth raised, Chu Kuo slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the sweet voice to sound.
But at this moment, a rapid and mournful voice sounded at the door of the Assembly Hall.
"Your Majesty, I, the young minister of Dali Temple, don't wait any longer and ask to see your majesty! I have evidence to prove that the confession is false!"
