Chapter 1563 Jia Heng: The Queen Mother calms down her anger
…
Above the palace
The cabinet ministers looked anxious at this moment. They stood on the top of the city wall and lowered their eyes to look down at the Imperial College supervisor who was making a fuss.
However, cabinet minister Lu Jiang had a slightly angry look on her face, and under her dark green eyebrows, she was already feeling worried for no reason.
He remembered that he had not sent anyone to spread rumors among the Imperial College students before, so why did it become like this now?
Why are there rumors slandering the lineage of Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Guangzong?
Zhen Qing Xiuli raised her eyebrows and stared at the palace. Accompanied by several Jinyi palace guards and internal eunuchs, she came to the palace. With warm eyes, she stared at the cabinet minister Li Zan and said warmly: "Mr. Li Ge, Aijia
I heard in the palace that these Imperial College Supervisors spread rumors that Emperor Guangzong was not the son of Emperor Xianzong? They also said that the son of the Ai family was the son of King Wei?"
Li Zan, Gao Zhongping: "..."
Lu Jiang's heart skipped a beat. The Queen Mother was holding the child in her arms and had come to ask questions.
Hearing this, Li Zan felt a sense of confusion. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, these are all rumors spread by the supervisors. They are misleading people and are not true. Please forgive me."
Zhen Qing's willow eyebrows stood upright, and in her cold, narrow phoenix eyes, there was a hint of coldness, and she said coldly: "What do they want to do? Could it be that they are the remnants of King Zhao, and Chen Yuan is secretly instigating the supervisors?"
, Spreading rumors to cause trouble? Disrupt our country, the Han Dynasty?"
Gao Zhongping paused slightly, raised his hands and said: "The Jinyi Mansion is already arresting the relevant supervisors. It won't be long before the mastermind behind the scenes is tortured. Please be patient, my empress."
Zhen Qing's green-haired little head nodded, her eyes were cold and sparkling, and she said: "This is going to bring trouble to our country, the Han Dynasty. Should the Ai family still hold their children and jump off the city top to give them to these rebellious officials and traitors?"
Make room?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zan and Gao Zhongping's expressions suddenly changed, they cupped their hands and said, "The Queen Mother, please calm down."
"Where is the King of Wei?" Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows and suddenly gave a squeak, asking, then she hugged the child and stared at the young man in python suit riding on the saddle.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, held a rein as thick as a finger, led the horse forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Wei Chen has met the empress."
Zhen Qing Xiuli raised her eyebrows, looked at Jia Heng with clear and gleaming eyes, and asked: "King Wei, what is going on with these prison students?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, they want to force me to resign as king, and they also want to stain the inheritance of the Han Dynasty. They have ulterior motives, and they are worthy of death!"
Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, clear and cold, and her narrow phoenix eyes were full of anger. She said: "King Wei, based on their words, are the Ai family going to jump off the city with Jie'er in their arms?"
That’s what they wanted!”
"Queen Mother, please calm down!" Jia Heng cupped his hands and asked.
Secretly, Mopan's soul questioning in front of all the cabinet ministers really struck a chord with the current students of the Imperial College, or in other words, it caused the troublemakers of the Imperial College to be completely trampled in the mud.
Jia Heng's face turned solemn and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, this must be Xiao Xiao's instigation and connection. I will send Jinyi Mansion guards to investigate this matter soon, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her crystal clear phoenix eyes were narrow and clear. She stared at the young man in the python suit, her crystal eyes were as bright as water, and said: "King Wei, you lead the Jinyi detective to investigate this matter.
We must be careful and never allow such scoundrels to tarnish the reputation of Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Guangzong with rumors."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "What you said is true."
As he spoke, he ordered the guards in Jinyi who were waiting in all directions to escort out the Imperial College students who were being bound.
Zhen Qing's jade face was as cold as frost and mist, and she said in a cold voice: "King Wei, together with all the ministers in the cabinet, go to Wuying Hall. The Ai family wants to ask questions."
Jia Heng sat on the saddle with a solemn look on his face. He cupped his hands towards Zhen Qing and didn't say much else.
At this moment, Jia Heng, accompanied by the Jinyi palace guards, entered the palace gate with vermilion paint and shining copper nails, while the cabinet ministers, with their faces as gloomy as iron, silently walked toward the palace gate.
In this way, Jia Heng and the cabinet ministers entered the palace and came to Wuying Hall.
Wuying Hall, in the hall——
Jia Heng and all the cabinet ministers sat down. At this moment, Zhen Qing sat on a lacquered pear wood chair, her graceful and beautiful jade face was covered with a cool frost color.
"Gentlemen, such a big thing happened today, how do you plan to deal with it?" Zhen Qing was dressed in a plain dress, with a jade face covered with frost. She picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the side, took a sip lightly, and looked at her eyes.
There was a faint chill in it.
Li Zan thought for a while, remained silent for a moment, and then expressed his position: "When the guards of Jinyi Mansion find out the relevant criminals and severely punish those who spread rumors and slander the clan, the imperial court will definitely punish them severely!"
Gao Zhongping nodded and agreed: "What Mr. Li Ge said is right. There must be someone secretly instigating what happened today. The imperial court will never tolerate adultery!"
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were as bright as water, and he said warmly: "Jinyi Mansion will also quickly investigate relevant clues and find out the mastermind behind the scenes."
As he said this, he glanced at Lu Jiang, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that his face was gloomy and his eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
Zhen Qing Cuili raised her slender eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a deep voice: "Everyone, these rumors must not be allowed to spread, otherwise where will the face of our Tian family be?"
If rumors about her and that bastard's love affair came out, where would she put her face?
After hearing this, all the ministers in the palace nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Gao Zhongping looked at the languid little emperor who was in Zhen Qing's arms, and said worriedly: "The Queen Mother, the weather is hot, you might as well let the new emperor return to the harem first, be careful not to get sunstroke."
Zhen Qing nodded her head, which was as beautiful as a waterfall. Under Chunshan's black eyebrows, her cold and shining phoenix eyes looked around at the ministers and Jia Heng present, and said loudly: "All matters concerning the previous dynasty are entrusted to me.
King Wei and all the cabinet ministers, I hope you will investigate carefully."
Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace responded accordingly.
After Zhen Qing left Wuying Hall with the little emperor in her arms, the atmosphere in the hall undoubtedly dropped to freezing point.
Under Jia Heng's sword-shaped brows, his sharp sword-like eyes were fixed on the several cabinet ministers present. His eyes flashed aggressively and he said loudly: "Dear cabinet ministers, I think I have some explanations as to why the Imperial College students are causing trouble today.
"
"We really don't know about this matter." Li Zan denied it flatly and said sternly: "Let the Jinyi Mansion investigate first. However, many supervisors do not know the truth and are instigated by gangsters. King Wei, if some supervisors are just innocent criminals,
Come on, as for Jinyi Mansion, it’s better not to abuse these prison students too harshly.”
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said coldly: "Mr. Li Ge, I have my own sense of proportion!"
As soon as he said these words, Li Zan's eyes were cold and his breathing was stagnant.
I knew that the person on the other side was already angry and was expressing his dissatisfaction to the cabinet.
What happened today is, to put it mildly, an act of coercion.
Jia Heng nodded, his cold and sharp eyes looked over the cabinet ministers, and said in a low voice: "Dear cabinet ministers, I have other matters, and I will not accompany these cabinet ministers from now on."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked away with a gloomy expression.
"Domineering!" Lu Jiang said coldly from the side.
Li Zan's face was as gloomy as iron. He glanced at Lu Jiang, who looked either angry or fearful, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Gao Zhongping also frowned, and after listening to what Lu Jiang said, his resolute and majestic face had a look of worry.
If Lu Jiang really did it, it was really a bad move. Now that King Wei has taken advantage of it, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm!
…
…
On Jia Heng's side, one person left the Wuying Palace. He did not go to the harem to see Zhen Qing or Empress Song, but went straight out of the palace.
Jinyi Mansion, government office hall——
At this moment, Qu Lang, together with Liu Jixian and other officers in uniform, had returned to the government office, sat down in the hall, and said, "Let the supervisors expose each other, testify against each other, and collect evidence of the crime."
Liu Jixian raised his hand and said yes.
At this moment, a clear and loud voice was heard from the guards of the Jinyi Mansion outside, saying in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is here!"
Liu Jixian raised his dark green thick eyebrows slightly, stood up, looked at the young man in the python suit, and said: "I have seen the governor in this humble position."
Qu Lang also came around from behind the desk, with a look of awe in his eyes, and said: "I have seen the governor in my humble position."
Jia Heng, accompanied by Jinyi's guards, walked into the government hall, looked at Liu Jixian, and said warmly: "Everyone, get up."
While talking, he sat down on a lacquered pear wood chair with a backrest and asked: "How was the trial of the case? Has the mastermind been found?"
Liu Jixian shook his head and said: "Back to the governor, thousands of households are still being tortured."
Jia Heng said loudly: "This case involves thousands of supervisors. There must be cabinet ministers secretly behind it. The Jinyi Mansion must follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes. How dare they do such a reckless thing? National law will not tolerate it!"
Liu Jixian looked at the young man in the python suit and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many supervisors in the Imperial College, and the imperial prison can no longer accommodate them."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Just deport those who agree with his actions, and torture the leading elements and supervisors carefully to prevent them from misbehaving outside."
Qu Lang and Liu Jixian looked at each other and saw something inexplicable in each other's eyes.
Jia Heng said warmly: "In addition, the Jinyi Mansion's detectives have recently stepped up the search for Chen Yuan to prevent him from causing trouble outside."
When Liu Jixian heard this, he clasped his fists in response.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he walked around a lacquered wooden case and sat down on a pearwood chair behind the desk. He picked up a file with a light yellow cover and said, "In recent times, Jinyi Mansion has been
Also brace yourself and keep an eye on the movements of the sergeant’s family members in Beijing to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from secretly spreading rumors and causing trouble.”
After hearing this, Qu Lang couldn't help but look solemn, nodded, and said yes.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and asked: "By the way, how are the Junggar troops in the northwest doing lately?"
Qu Lang cupped his hands and said: "Back to the Governor, our troops in Junggar have been reorganizing their troops recently, and there seems to be some strange movement."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "There must be some connection between the Junggar and Heshuote tribes, so the spies of Jinyi Mansion should pay more attention to it recently."
Qu Lang nodded and said yes.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, he gently picked up the tea cup on the small table beside him, took a sip, and flipped through the files.
In this way, Jia Heng lingered in Jinyi Mansion for a while, and while talking, he quickly returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Ning Guo Mansion, outside study room, in the wing room——
Beside the carved pavilion window, two curvaceous beauties can be seen playing chess across an apricot-yellow chessboard.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. He stared at the young man in the python suit and asked in surprise: "You're back?"
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes shining like water, and said: "We have arrested all the supervisors, and all that is left is to close the net."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly and said in a clear voice: "Those two in the cabinet are not fools. After Lu Jiang is involved, those two may not be suspicious."
Jia Heng said coldly: "As of now, it's nothing more than a fig leaf covering the outside. There's nothing else."
Gu Ruoqing looked at the young man in the python suit and said, "With so many prison students being taken to prison, will it cause an uproar among scholars all over the world?"
There are precedents for this in the history of Qing Dynasty. Powerful ministers were in power, scholars were arrested, discipline was relaxed, the world was in chaos, and Jia Heng's reputation was not very good.
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "This matter is inevitable after all."
Chen Xiao thought for a while, looked at the young man in the python suit, and whispered: "If you are a loyal minister, no one will judge you like this."
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "In the future, when a prosperous dynasty opens and all nations come to visit, the slight stain on their reputation will be nothing more than passing clouds and not worth mentioning."
Chen Xiaodao: "This is a good argument. It's like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and cheated his sister-in-law, but he was still a wise king, and he didn't see how the world looked at him."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's the truth."
As long as he is guided well, there will be great Confucian scholars who can interpret the scriptures for him.
…
…
While Jia Heng was talking to Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing, the entire Shenjing City fell into a chaotic situation.
A series of purges also began within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xu Lu, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, sent people to interrogate the censors involved in the case and explain their crimes in detail.
Under Zhang Zhi's dark green eyebrows, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said loudly: "Mr. Xu, what happened today is too shocking. How can the supervisor spread such shocking rumors?"
Xu Lu frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is someone who wants to throw dirty water on King Wei and muddy the situation of the court."
There are so many doubts about it that it is really confusing.
Zhang Zhi had a thoughtful look on his face and said loudly: "King Wei, today he went to Anshun Gate and sent the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi to arrest the relevant supervisors."
Xu Lu nodded and said: "In the next few days, we should be able to find out the person behind the scenes."
However, why did the supervisors cause trouble this time, giving him a confusing feeling?
Zhang Zhi frowned and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Luo Zhi of Jinyi Mansion will be imprisoned unjustly, innocent people will be implicated, and the situation in the capital will be turbulent."
Xu Lu shook his head and whispered: "King Wei is a man of good conduct, so there should be no serious problems."
Zhang Zhi said: "That was in the past. Now that we have experienced so many things, it's hard to say."
When Xu Lu heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then he said with a solemn voice, "Since we have deprived you of your salary, we should repay your kindness. If there are really rebellious ministers and traitors who cause harm to the country and the government, we will only repay you with death."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Xu Luning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Collect these censor's oral confessions and criminal evidence into one volume and submit it to the cabinet for review."
Zhang Zhi frowned, his eyes flickered, and he responded.
Xu Lu put down the brush in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the vast sky outside the door, with a cold look in his eyes.
If King Wei really dares to overstep this matter, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch!
