Chapter 74: Is the emperor pretending not to hear, or is he really not hearing?
At sunset, Wenchang Hall.
Wei Lin sat on the dragon throne, slightly supporting half of his head.
The next servant hurried in, with a panic-stricken face. He knelt down on the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, a group led by General Meng and Yuanfu are kneeling outside the temple. They say they are praying to Your Majesty for justice and not to put His Highness to death."
!”
"I want to put him to death?!"
Wei Lin raised his hand and swept an incense burner off the table to the ground.
He obviously hadn't rested well. His eyes were gray and gray, and there was no trace of his usual gentleness.
The waiter trembled and did not dare to say anything.
"You're all here to force me, right?" Wei Lin sneered: "The prince did not do his job well and caused such a big disaster in Guanyue Lake. I just arrested the people and then all of them came to threaten me?!"
His voice was so loud that it was heard outside the hall.
Meng Ke and others who were kneeling did not change their expressions.
"He's just a prince now! If you just help him, are you going to force me to give up the throne in the future?!"
Yuanfu's name was Yuan Heqing, and he was an old man from three dynasties.
He is usually the most fair, but at this time he was also kneeling upright.
He waved to the chamberlain and whispered: "I advise the Holy One to just lose his temper. Even if the Crown Prince is at fault for today's incident, he has to wait until the matter becomes clear. If the Holy One shows favoritism because of his anger, how can all the officials in the dynasty use the country's foundation in the future?"
Set an example?"
Meng Ke even said sincerely: "I was beaten, and the beating was so severe. When I went to see it just now, everyone screamed that I should not respond. Even if there is a big mistake, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is General Xiao."
The only heir left..."
The chamberlain brought the words in.
Wei Lin has such a bad temper again.
The current development of things has deviated from his original intention.
His eyes were red with anger!
Wei Siyun!
His good son!
When he originally sent people to capture Wei Siyun, Wei Lin never thought that he would be captured without mercy.
This son's temper has been very weird since he was infected by the continuous poison.
Don’t give Yu Huimi face, don’t give him face.
Let others put the name of idiot on your head.
If it hadn't been for what he did at the palace banquet last night, Wei Lin would have almost thought that he was completely under his control.
However, even so, Wei Lin must let him know that he is a father and a king, and Wei Siyun is just a minister.
If he dares to rebel against him in front of so many people, he must pay the price.
So when the fireworks incident happened, he felt that an opportunity had come.
He used the most drastic means and sent people directly to get people.
It is expected that Wei Siyun's character will resist.
He gave an order to the personal guards. If the prince resisted, he would just make a bigger noise.
By then everyone will know that he has no favoritism for his son at all.
Wei Siyun, on the other hand, is lawless.
What he didn't expect was that Wei Siyun didn't even resist and was taken directly to prison.
He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he pretended to be a real person and called people from the Supervisory Office to investigate.
Be sure to give an explanation to Wei Siyun.
With his words, the Supervisory Office directly sentenced him.
It was indeed Wei Lin who ordered the beating, but it was all because he was so angry with Wei Siyun that he was stunned!
"I am the emperor! What do I want to do, and I need you old guys to tell me what to do?!"
No matter what, Wei Lin didn't let him go.
Outside the hall, there was a cold wind, mixed with a few piles of snow.
The red plum blossoms on the wall were in bloom, and a few blossoms were swept down by the wind, floating around the legs of a group of kneeling courtiers.
The longer the stalemate lasted, the more impatience appeared on Yuan Heqing's face.
In their eyes, what Wei Siyun did last night was not wrong. How could he call it wrong to pull out the moth from the court?
This private matter between father and son has escalated to this point, and the Holy Spirit has lost his dignity as a monarch.
There are so many of them kneeling here, and they still refuse to come down when they are given the steps, which makes them make more mistakes.
Several courtiers behind him were already talking.
"Does the Holy One have to force the prince to death?"
"The prince's actions this time are tough. I like him very much, but I can't understand him more and more, Your Majesty."
"Yes, yes, it looks like he doesn't want the prince to take the lead."
"But the prince will one day——"
"Shh!" Meng Ke turned around and warned them: "It's good to know some things in your heart, but if you say them, you will be beheaded."
So everyone shut up.
"But General, if Your Majesty doesn't listen to your advice, it's okay for us to keep kneeling like this."
How could Meng Ke not know: "Now, only if the prince is proven innocent about the fireworks, the Holy Emperor will probably relent, but this matter is being investigated by the Inspectorate."
The Inspectorate is the emperor's people.
In recent years, everyone in the court has been somewhat critical of anything involving the emperor, saying that these people are not working with their salaries.
The method is extremely procrastinating.
If we really let the Supervisory Office investigate, what can we find out?
Can the prince still escape from prison?
Sad, Meng Ke is so sad.
I don’t know what happened to that girl Jiaojiao when she went out to look for He Yunchu.
Just at this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over from outside Wenchang's door.
He seemed a little panicked. Without even looking at these ministers, he bypassed them and went directly into the palace.
But after a while, an even more earth-shattering sound of smashing was heard in the hall.
"If she's so capable, let her do it! I'm afraid she's a woman?!"
what happened?
Meng Ke looked confused. When he saw the guard running out in a hurry again, he raised his hand to stop him.
"What's wrong with this? Who is the Holy One scolding?"
The guard whispered: "Hello Yunchu."
He Yunchu?!
Didn't I tell you not to run around this morning?
What did you do now and bring yourself to the emperor?!
When I asked again, the guard didn't dare to say anything and ran away in a hurry.
Meng Ke felt that he was as big as two people.
I just hope that nothing more will happen at such a complicated moment.
It's getting late.
The guard ran back and forth, and after about three times, he actually attracted the Queen Mother to come in a hurry.
As soon as the Queen Mother appeared, everyone in the palace stretched their necks.
Passing by the kneeling group, the Queen Mother stopped.
She leaned over and helped Yuan Fu up: "Everyone, get up."
The Queen Mother's expression is gloomy, which is not a good color.
Those who know her will know that the Queen Mother was very angry at this time.
Everyone has an idea in mind, and I'm afraid they were disturbed.
The Queen Mother helped someone and pushed forward the palace door.
Wei Lin naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to his mother, but his expression was equally ugly.
The Queen Mother's first words were: "Emperor, why are you still making such nonsense?"
"Mother, what happened today was because of the prince's fault that forced me to come to Taiwan. Does the queen think I did something wrong in disciplining my son?!"
"Do you discipline your son?" The Queen Mother sneered and asked: "Then have you heard how the emperor is being arranged outside now? Do you need Ai Jia to repeat it to you?"
Wei Lin was furious: "Those people are still chewing their tongues in front of you?"
"Are you talking too much? Then the seven girls of the He family brought the truth about the fireworks case to defend the prince. They have been beating the dragon gate drum for half an hour. Is the emperor pretending not to hear, or is he really not listening?!"
