Chapter 75: Bringing He Yunchu to the Zhaoning Hall of the Ai Family
Longmen Drum??
No wonder the guards looked so panicked as they ran in and out.
When the dragon gate drum sounds, it is a complaint to the imperial court, which will go directly to heaven for hearing. No one but the emperor dares to judge!
This method of reporting cases is mostly due to the inability of private local officials to review the case.
And He Yunchu actually brought the "Fireworks Case" to beat the Longmen Drum?
Does that mean she has the truth in her hands?
Meng Ke couldn't help but wiped away a cold sweat, wondering how could this be possible?
But now that the Queen Mother has been alarmed and has taken action, the matter cannot be faked.
Wei Lin's face was pale and difficult to distinguish, but one thing was certain.
Yuan Heqing had been an official in the court for fifty years, and he had never seen an emperor being put on stage like this and unable to get off.
What happened this time was simply due to his lack of consideration.
As a result, one step was wrong and the other was wrong now. No wonder Natong lost his temper just now.
"To report to the Dragon Gate imperial court, you have to kowtow step by step, from Wenchang Gate, through Meridian Gate, to Chengqian Hall. Since He Qi is so capable, let her come to me on her knees!"
This is the rule that has been established since ancient times.
Passing through several palace gates, kowtowing at each step, and being ordered to go to Chengqian Hall to meet the Holy Spirit, there are only a few people since ancient times.
If He Yunchu wants to commit suicide, he won't stop him!
Meng Ke just stood up and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, He Yunchu is pregnant with Liujia. How can he still be alive if he kneels all the way here?"
Wei Lin's anger was still lingering: "She wanted to sue for the royal decree. Didn't she want to earn justice for the prince? Now that I have given it, you are not satisfied?"
"Your Majesty, while there is still room for improvement, please ask Your Majesty to return the investigation power of the fireworks case to Dali Temple, and then release His Royal Highness from prison. Then this initiative is still in the hands of Your Majesty, and it can also fall to a Holy Majesty.
What a good reputation for handling things well!"
"You're teaching me how to do things!" Wei Lin was so angry that he quickly walked over and kicked Meng Ke directly: "You all know how to force me!"
Now that he is riding a tiger, is the truth about the fireworks case still important?
No matter what the truth is, he has been accused of abusing royal power.
But why?
Why did Wei Siyun escape unscathed? Why did He Yunchu not hesitate to sue Longmen and take the risk to clear Wei Siyun's name?!
The Queen Mother looked solemn: "If you are still stubborn, you are making a big joke! The face of our Wei family will be lost today!"
She didn't care at all how Wei Lin and Wei Siyun played tricks on each other.
As the Queen Mother, she only cares about whether the royal family will be criticized.
Now that Wei Lin is acting stupidly and bringing shame to the royal family, she has to stand up and seek justice.
Wei Lin was stunned.
Is he embarrassed?
Did he disgrace the royal family?
If Wei Siyun hadn't used the household affairs to force him, would he have reached this point?
"Your Majesty, I hope that a decision will be made as soon as possible. The top priority is to release His Highness from prison and let the fireworks case pass through His Highness' hands to the public, so that the people will not feel that the relationship between His Majesty and His Highness as father and son is determined."
"It was this rebellious son who insulted me first. Why don't you try to persuade the prince to be broad-minded and always try to bully me?"
Meng Ke was dissatisfied and argued: "His Highness has to say something. Now that His Highness is unconscious in prison, he doesn't even have a word of rebuttal. Is it possible that he is not trying to save His Majesty's face?"
"you!"
Wei Lin was so angry that he was about to faint. His chest was heaving and his eyes were sunken.
Another guard hurried over.
"Report!" He knelt down in a hurry: "Then He Qi really came in from the Wenchang Gate, kowtowing step by step. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and many people gathered at the entrance of the palace, and they were talking about it."
Meng Ke said: "What are you talking about?"
"Say, say," the guard hesitated, not daring to repeat what he said.
The Queen Mother gave a cold look: "What are you doing with your hesitation?! Tell me everything!"
"Yes! Those people said that there is a high probability that the child He Qi is carrying is the emperor's heir. It seems that the fireworks case was deliberately arranged by the Holy One. He did not want the prince to keep the child...at any cost."
How do you say this?
The Queen Mother heard something unusual: "Why do you say that the fireworks case was intentional by the Holy One? This fireworks case is also related to the Holy One??"
"No!" The guard kowtowed again: "Because He Qi found out that when the fireworks incident occurred, in the incense shop that was burned, although the properties on the surface did not belong to the same person, behind the scenes...the profits
The flow direction, but there is only one place."
The more he spoke, the quieter he became.
Because Wei Lin's face is getting paler and paler.
He seemed to have guessed something.
Meng Ke asked: "To whom?"
"...Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue, Ren Min."
The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yuan Heqing asked: "Only based on this, how can we conclude that Ren Min is involved in the fireworks case?"
"Of course it's impossible, but He Qi also found a beggar."
beggar?
"The beggar appeared at Guanyue Lake last night. Many people can testify that he once wandered in front of the fireworks that were about to be lit. According to his account, the order he received was to give the nearest incense shop to the nearest incense shop when the fireworks were lit.
Light the fire."
No wonder!
No wonder the fire was so big last night and quickly spread to the incense shop next to it!
It turns out that it wasn’t spreading, but someone deliberately set the fire on fire!
Therefore, the problem is not the fireworks at all, but the shops!
Meng Ke suddenly realized: "So Your Majesty, Ren Min did it on purpose? He had known for a long time that His Highness went to Yongzhou to investigate him, and thought that the Crown Prince would not come back on New Year's Eve, so he wanted to do something to show off His Highness first?!"
But the plan failed to keep up with the change. Wei Siyun not only came back, but also put Ren Min in jail first!
Wei Lin stood in the distance and feinted twice.
The chamberlain rushed forward to support him.
What else is there to say now?
He was always unfair in his dealings, but now that he was meddling in the previous Ren Min's affairs, everyone knew that Ren Min was his.
No wonder everyone is talking about it being intentional.
In front of the world, his relationship with Ren Min is even more difficult to explain.
Even the matter of army rations will definitely be said to be his hand.
Otherwise, why would he stop Wei Siyun in every possible way?
From today on, Wei Siyun is the upright and upright Crown Prince who enforces the law strictly, while he is the foolish king who indulges his treacherous ministers!
The more I think about it, the more palpitations I get.
And guard Lin actually rolled his eyes and fainted in front of everyone!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The Queen Mother watched with cold eyes and could only come out to take charge of the overall situation: "Xuan Imperial Physician will be given to the Holy One to take a look. The Holy King will give an oral instruction that the fireworks case will be returned to Taili Temple for investigation, and the officials involved will be dealt with strictly!"
"The Queen Mother is Shengming!"
The Queen Mother glanced at Wei Lin again, wondering how she could have given birth to such a fool.
One day, someone kidnapped the emperor to order the princes. It was really a wonderful life for the emperor.
Meng Ke cautiously asked: "The Queen Mother, where are Her Majesty the Crown Prince and He Qi?"
The prince naturally wants to be released.
As for He Yunchu.
A cold light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. This He Yunchu caused waves in the palace one after another, which can be called a disaster.
"Bring He Yunchu to the Zhaoning Hall of the Ai Family."
