Chapter 238: You are deliberately trying to make trouble with me!
"Long live my Lord, Wang Shangshu is already waiting outside the palace gate. Look..." Wang Cheng stood in the palace and said cautiously to Zhu Qiyu, who had an ashen face and a fierce look in his eyes.
"Does he still have the nerve to come see me? He doesn't feel embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for him. I won't see you!" After hearing Wang Cheng's report, Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed sharply, and his anger broke out again.
However, Na Xing'an advised him from the side: "Long live Lord, please calm down. Speaking of which, Wang Shangshu did seem to have betrayed your trust, Long live Lord. However, after all, he is loyal to you. Your Majesty, please explain."
Wang Shangshu has always carried out his affairs to the end and served Lord Long Live conscientiously. Unlike the officials in the court, they don't take your words seriously, Lord Long Live."
Zhu Qiyu's face softened slightly, but his tone was still very angry. "Huh, if it weren't for that, I would have punished him this morning, how could I still speak for him and deal with him?!"
"Long live Lord, your kind heart is known to everyone in the world, and Wang Shangshu naturally knows it too. Although this old slave has not read many books, he also knows that there is an old saying, which is: If he treats me as a countryman, I will treat him as a countryman.
The soldiers of the country will retaliate..." Xing'an chuckled and added another word.
Zhu Qiyu stroked the jade fingers on his hand, and finally sighed. "That's it, let Wang Qing come in."
"The sinner Wang Wen, please see your majesty." After Wang Wen, with a withered face and a look like an eggplant wilted by frost, entered the palace, he bowed to Zhu Qiyu and apologized.
"Hmph, since you know you made a mistake, you should have stopped the slave from committing the crime in time last night. Even after the accident, if you could have made a decision in time, how could you be so passive today? Now, this matter is already
It is known to both the government and the public, no matter how many mistakes you admit, what's the use?" When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Qiyu felt so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry.
He had just mentioned this capable minister whom he liked to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hoping that he could fight for power with Lao Wang on his behalf and strive to control the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
In addition, he has a cabinet that he uses for his own use. The court, which was not controlled by his own will, will be under his control. Then he will not be like a monarch in name only as he is now.
Wang Wen looked miserable and prostrated himself on the ground. In response to Zhu Qiyu's rebuke, he had to knock out his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach. For no reason, just because now thinking about everything that happened last night, he felt that
His performance was really too embarrassing.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
He hit someone, but he didn't stop him in time. This was one; he was too shameless at the time and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the subordinates who were being hosted by him. Instead, he got into a dispute with those people. This was the second.
.
However, Wang Wen really did not expect why this matter caused so much trouble in the city. In fact, it was not that those Qingliu had never had disputes with other officials, nor had they not been beaten by the dandies of the Xungui family.
However, things always turn out to be big things and small things.
But don't forget who you are. He is a dignified cabinet minister, and he is the head of the six central ministers, the official minister known as Otsuka Zai. Those Qingliu who were beaten last night also fall under his jurisdiction.
Besides, last night, those domestic slaves were also measured in their actions. There was absolutely no missing arms or legs. After all, they knew that their master was a high official in the court. Although beating people could vent their anger, but...
If there is a life-threatening lawsuit, it is tantamount to ruining the future of the owner.
This is why Wang Wen's brain fell into chaos after going to court today. Until now, he still can't figure it out. The development of things is really beyond his expectation.
"Okay, why don't you get up?!" After talking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu was foaming at the corners of his mouth. When he saw Wang Wen's dumbfounded look, he had no choice but to huff his sleeves and return to his seat, sit down, and then shouted in a low voice.
When Wang Cheng saw Wang Wen distracted, he quickly pulled him. Wang Wen woke up, quickly thanked him, and stood up. However, for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing Wang Wen like this, Zhu Qiyu said rather displeasedly: "Wang Qing, since you have come to see me, are you not even prepared to say anything?"
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, I know that I have disappointed Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, I have something to say, and I won't be happy if I don't say it." No matter what Wang Wen is, he is still a big shot in the officialdom for many years. Once he regains his sense now, he will naturally
I discovered something was wrong.
"I did make a lot of mistakes in what happened last night. I dare not deny it, and I am willing to bow my head and plead guilty. However, things like last night have not never happened in our court in the past. However, it is only possible to make such a mess happen.
This time, I am very suspicious, so I am here, firstly, to ask for forgiveness, and secondly, because I feel that this matter is too strange." Wang Wen bowed down again, raised his head and said to Zhu Qiyu.
"Too weird?" Zhu Qiyu chewed on Wang Wen's words and raised his brows. "Is there really some mystery here?"
"Long live the Lord, actually, Lord Shangshu also told the old slave about this matter just now, and the old slave also felt that something was wrong..." Wang Cheng came to Zhu Qiyu's side and recounted the doubts one by one.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face, and then a look of anger appeared on his face.
"In this way, the old slave also feels that this matter is too suspicious. Wang Shangshu's domestic slave has committed a crime and should be severely punished. However, this kind of thing has not happened in the country. The old slave still remembers the previous years.
, Fang Ding, the son of Uncle Fu Chang, and several other noble sons also had trouble with these Qingliu, and started fighting in the wine shop on the spot. Although the matter was reported by the imperial censor to impeach the noble sons, it was not
The high officials in the court have been alarmed, but it has never reached such an extent." Xing'an also touched his beardless chin with a look of confusion on his face.
"You mean, someone is secretly instigating this?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but shouted in a low voice.
At this time, Jin Ying, who had been silent just now, fell to the ground. "Long live Lord, although there is no evidence, at today's court meeting, why did the six ministers and many imperial officials beat the Dengwen drum for less than an hour?
All the historians have described the matter in full, impeaching Wang Shangshu, and even some nobles have collaborated with them..."
If he were to say this outside, he would offend all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. However, Jin Ying did not mince words here because he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty today. The more this happened,
It is more beneficial to eunuchs like them.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Therefore, if he could use this matter to make the emperor even more reject those foreign ministers and trust them in the eunuchs, why would he not do it? Anyway, if he didn't add insult to injury, the civil and military ministers outside would not say good things about him.
Jin Ying paused and then continued. "If no one is there to pull the strings, I really can't believe that this matter can be made known to all these ministers in just the middle of the night. Even those who have gone there can't believe it."
The young eunuchs who came back from fetching water from Yuquan Mountain all mentioned that many people in the capital were discussing this matter..."
"A bunch of bastards!" After a loud shout, there was a crisp sound, and Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and swept the tea cup placed on the imperial desk to the ground. The precious and elite official kiln celadon was instantly
It hit the floor and broke into a pile of pieces.
The splashing tea and the porcelain pieces hit Jin Ying's cheek, but Jin Ying did not dare to move at all. He just quietly raised his head and carefully looked at the furious Zhu Qiyu.
.
"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why do some people always like to go against me?! Check, order the Jin Yiwei to investigate this matter thoroughly for me to find out who it is! I want to take a look and find out which bastard it is, don't you?
I take it seriously and deliberately try to make things difficult for me." Zhu Qiyu's face turned pale and frightening. After standing up and roaring, his face suddenly became strangely flushed. Seeing this, Xing'an quickly helped Zhu Qiyu sit back down.
On the chair, he quickly waved back, and a cup of ginseng tea that had been prepared long ago was handed over to him.
Xing'an eagerly handed it to Zhu Qiyu's hand, with a worried look on his face. "Long live my Lord, you have to take good care of yourself and don't get angry."
Zhu Qiyu took the still hot ginseng tea, took a sip, closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, his face finally returned to normal, and then he moved in that direction, which frightened him again.
Wang Wenyan, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "I understand, Wang Qing, if you step down first, you will be fined for one year, and you will have to think about your mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion. As for those servants..."
"We will return home immediately and hand them over to Yousi to uphold the law of the country." Wang Wen said respectfully, his face unchanged. How could the life and death of these slaves be compared with his future? If it were not for the
The emperor had given him a chance to deal with the situation, and Wang Wen was now ready to kill those slaves.
After the relieved Wang Wen left the hall, Na Xing'an cleared his throat, lowered his body and said: "Long live Lord, I heard that Concubine Hang got cold yesterday because she missed Long Live Lord. Look..."
"What, you want to send a message to me for her?" Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and looked at Xing'an with a half-smile.
"Well, I don't blame you. Since Concubine Hang is ill, let's go to Lingtai Hospital to see her. Tell Concubine Hang that she will have a good life and take good care of herself. If I have time, I will naturally go see her, you know?
"
"Old slave, I obey." Xing'an breathed a sigh of relief and responded repeatedly, but secretly sighed in his heart, God's power is unpredictable. I didn't expect that Zhu Qiyu, who still loved Concubine Hang a few days ago, would say such things.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hang would become the queen, how could he have agreed to this matter?
However, Zhu Qiyu's current reaction made Xing'an and all the eunuchs present understand. I am afraid that Long Live Lord's heart may have been stolen away by someone else...
