Chapter 98 I Have Evidence For Chang Xu's Ugly Behaviour
Chapter 98 I have evidence of Changxu’s ugly behavior
What does it mean not to do this again? This is not even a reprimand, not even a warning. What is this? Is it persuasion? Isn’t Chongzhen usually like this? When encountering such a thing, he usually takes off his official uniform.
It is most normal to be dragged out and beheaded! Did the emperor have anything else to say later?
All the courtiers looked at Chongzhen secretly. After a while, they were sure that Chongzhen meant to stop this matter. Chang Xiao's beating of Wang Changxu was just revealed so easily!
How does this work?
The censors, who had already knelt down, howled together: "Your Majesty, please don't let Chang Xiao go so easily. He insulted the court officials in public and robbed the families of the court officials. He committed a heinous crime. He should be executed in Ling Chi as a warning to others."
!”
Chongzhen showed an impatient look on his face and waved his hand.
Seeing that Chongzhen still didn't want to continue this topic, all the censors became even more furious. One of them held out a thick stack of memorials in both hands, walked forward on his knees, raised the memorials above his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is me. Twenty-three censors."
The memorial jointly impeaching Chang Xiao, as well as Wang Changxu and Wang Yushi’s 10,000-word blood-and-tear complaint, please ask the emperor to read it."
After hearing Wang Changxu's bloody and tearful accusation, Chongzhen showed a look of interest on his face and nodded. The old eunuch next to him quickly stepped forward and took the memorial.
Chongzhen threw the rest of the memorials aside, opened Wang Changxu's memorial with interest and said with a smile: "I heard that Wang Changxu was beaten into a pig's head by Chang Xiao with the sole of his shoe. How could he still be able to do it overnight if he didn't take a good rest?"
A memorial of ten thousand words was written and published?"
When the ministers heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but they stopped talking.
Among them, those outsiders quickly retracted the memorial to impeach Chang Xiao deep into their sleeves. For them, the situation was not yet clear and became more complicated and confusing. Whether to impeach Chang Xiao or not, they still have to wait and see which way the wind blows before making a decision. Moreover, Chongzhen actually laughed.
Well, they haven't seen Chongzhen smile in this court for a long time.
Chongzhen glanced through Wang Changxu's ten thousand-character memorial at a glance, then folded the memorial, looked around at the ministers, weighed the memorial in his hands, and seemed to want to throw it away, but he did not do so after all. Although he was the emperor, he was not the censor.
He would not dare to throw the memorial away casually, otherwise future generations would definitely label him as a fool who disrespected officials.
"Where is Wang Changxu?" Chongzhen asked calmly.
The court officials are all good at observing words and expressions, and it was obvious at this time that the emperor was angry. The leading censor was overjoyed, thinking that Chang Xiao had finally made Chongzhen unhappy, and said quickly: "I am listening to the announcement outside the palace."
"Oh? Why are you waiting outside? I thought he couldn't get up and asked for leave."
The censor glared at Chang Xiao and said: "Reporting to the emperor, Chang Xiao beat the censor Wang beyond recognition. The censor Wang was afraid that he would frighten the emperor by suddenly going to the palace, so he listened to the announcement outside."
"Oh, he actually thought about me, so I asked him to come up so that I could see how he was so unrecognizable that he could still scare me."
The old eunuch next to Chongzhen hurriedly called for help. Soon after, he heard a strange and inexplicable cry coming from outside the palace. The sound was so elusive and elusive that it made people's hearts tremble.
After a while, Wang Changxu, who was crying before anyone arrived, put his head in his hands and walked into the Qianqing Palace with small steps accompanied by the sound of crying.
Everyone heard that Wang Changxu asked Chang Xiao to beat him very hard, but no one saw how serious it was. Many of them thought that Wang Changxu was just slapped twice in the mouth by Chang Xiao, even though Wang Changxu was injured. It's not too serious. The so-called serious injuries in the memorial are just exaggerations. After all, what Yushi and his like are best at is fanning the flames, and a spark can amplify it into a giant flame three feet high.
Unexpectedly, when they saw Wang Changxu walking towards him with his head in his hands and crying, they were all shocked. How could this be a serious injury? He was obviously disabled. Wait, this is really Wang Changxu, not some monster. Do animals turn into humans and come to cause trouble?
Even Chongzhen frowned and almost called out for escort.
The censors who were kneeling at the door and crying bitterly took cover, jumped up and hid on both sides.
Wang Changxu was really majestic and majestic. As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, he was so frightened that all the officials retreated.
Only Chang Xiao remained motionless, his eyes slightly lowered, like a rock in the midst of huge waves.
At this time, the swelling on Wang Changxu's head had subsided by less than half. It was originally a purple eggplant, but now due to the swelling, only the two sides of his face were red, swollen and purple, and they were as big as two balls. From a distance, it looks like two testicles hanging on the face.
If Wang Changxu went to Japan, where fertility worship is more intense, with this appearance, he would probably be surrounded and worshiped as a god, and he might be given the title of "Big Gold and Jade".
This portrait, combined with Wang Changxu's strange cries at this moment, can easily lead people to mistakenly think that he is a monster descending to earth.
When Wang Changxu somersaulted and fell to the ground, everyone dared to believe that this was indeed Wang Changxu.
Chongzhen's face was so frightened that he showed a horrified look. Wang Changxu was originally a handsome man, how did he become like this now?
Wang Changxu kowtowed in the hall with tears in his eyes. Every time he kowtowed, there were three sounds of heavy objects hitting the floor in the hall, and at the same time, a whimpering sound came from the gap between the two faces. .
The officials in the main hall who had not seen Chang laughed and slapped Wang Changxu with the soles of their shoes yesterday had toothaches. Some of them were more sympathetic and even covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch.
The courtiers looked at Chang Xiao with a trace of fear in their eyes. They couldn't help but be afraid. A good man was slapped like this by Chang Xiao, and he couldn't even speak. It was really unheard of and unseen. It was too cruel, too cruel. It’s cruel and inhumane! Literary people are actually most afraid of others taking action. If they scold these people, no one is afraid of them. If the other party uses force and is unreasonable and overbearing, then they really don’t dare to provoke them. .
What does the censor live for? It’s nothing more than a mouth. Now Wang Changxu whimpers no matter what he wants to say. He can only point at Chang Xiao with his fingers and whine. It’s like he’s been kicked. The puppy is barking wildly.
All the officials looked at Chang Xiao.
Even Chongzhen looked at Chang Xiao.
Obviously, Changxiao really needs to give an explanation at this time. Beating people up like this cannot be explained away by just saying "Don't do it again next time."
Chang Xiao calmly took a step forward and approached Wang Changxu.
Wang Changxu was extremely afraid of Chang Xiao, and he quickly retreated in fear. Chang Xiao took another step, and Wang Changxu retreated again.
Chang Xiao pretended to be extremely surprised and said: "Master Wang, how did you become like this? Come on, let me see how your injuries are."
Wang Changxu had already been fooled by Chang Xiao once. How could he be fooled again now? He shook his head like a rattle, and his two cheeks flicked back and forth on his face, as if that was the case.
"Chang Xiao, don't pretend to be stupid. The reason why Mr. Wang is acting like this is obviously because of your beating yesterday! You just confessed your crime in front of the emperor, how dare you go back on your word now?" the leader of the censor shouted proudly.
Chang Xiao looked at the censor, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then asked curiously: "Plead guilty? When did I confess? Did I say I confessed?"
The censor was stunned for a moment, and then his voice became louder: "You just said in front of the emperor that I knew you were wrong, why don't you admit your guilt now?"
Chang Xiao smiled and said: "Recognizing a mistake means admitting it? Sir, who is your teacher? How did he teach you?"
The censor was stunned for a moment, his mind couldn't turn around, and he muttered something he wanted to say.
Chang Xiao had already spoken: "Yesterday was Chang's wedding, and Jin Yun is my fiancée. I would like to ask Lord Wang, why was my fiancée forcibly carried into the Wang family by you?"
Wang Changxu squeaked a few times, and the censor next to him actually understood and explained: "Master Wang said that Jin Yun and I are in love!"
Chang Xiao frowned and said coldly: "Master Wang, do you have any evidence that you and Jin Yun are in love?"
Wang Changxu was stunned. He didn't have this evidence, but he didn't believe that Chang Xiao had it. Even if Chang Xiao presented some token, it wasn't enough. He could also say that Chang Xiao had fabricated it last night. Wang Changxu knew it in his heart.
Then he squeaked and screamed.
The censor who was proficient in animal language quickly translated: "Chang Xiao, I have no evidence, do you have evidence?"
Chang Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Of course!" After saying that, Chang Xiao turned around and bowed to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I have a witness!"
Chongzhen also became curious at this time. How come there are still witnesses to this kind of love between two people?
The leading censor rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Servants of the Chang family or Jin family cannot be regarded as witnesses."
The other censors also reacted and added one by one: "Those who are good friends with the Chang family are suspected of collusion and cannot be regarded as witnesses."
"The empty words of ordinary people without official status cannot be regarded as witnesses!"
Chang Xiao nodded, and then said: "The witnesses of the minister are not servants of the Chang family, nor Jin Yun's servants, nor common people. They are all officials in the court, and they are all close friends of Mr. Wang. At this time, there are also
Part of it is above the court!"
Now even Chongzhen showed an incomprehensible expression.
When all the officials were stunned, Chang Xiao had already raised his hands to Wang Fenglin and said, "Brother Wang, you were the best man at my wedding yesterday! You can bear witness for Chang."
Wang Fenglin took a step back after hearing this, and immediately waved his hand to refuse. Chang Xiao had already turned towards Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I have as proof the poems and calligraphy treasures presented by more than thirty of Wang Changxu's friends."
Wang Fenglin suddenly understood at this time. He had no idea why Chang Xiao asked them to write poems yesterday. He originally thought it was just Chang Xiao's crazy and arrogant move, but he didn't expect that this move turned out to be a back-up move at this time. Wang Fenglin
At this moment, I felt a slight chill in my heart. Could it be that Chang Xiao's appearance at the wedding hall yesterday meant he was in today's situation? If that were the case, Chang Xiao would be terrible! His scheming was so deep and unpredictable!
Chongzhen's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something. He took a deep look at Chang Xiao, then waved his hand and said: "Send it up!"
Chang Xiao has carried these poems with him for a long time, and stacking more than thirty pieces of paper does not take up much space.
Chang Xiao took out a stack of papers from his wide cuffs, and naturally a eunuch came forward and presented the papers to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen opened them one by one and looked carefully. Sure enough, they were all poems praising Chang Xiao's wedding. Among them, there were two very talented poems. Under each poem, there was the name of the author of the poem and the person to whom it was presented. There were even some poems.
Those who love to show off, directly included the names of Chang Xiao and Jin Yun in the poems, comparing them with the immortal mandarin ducks. There are also those coquettish people who carry seals with them and put bright red seals on them.
Why did Chang Xiao carefully look at these poems that day to see if there were any obscenities, or hidden acrostic poems that insulted him? It was so that no accidents would happen at this time.
Chongzhen read these poems and essays, then looked at Wang Fenglin and asked lightly: "Aren't you forced to write these down?"
