Chapter 33 - Some are happy, some are worried
In the Xiahou Mansion at noon, Xia Chu finally got the letter. He sent someone to Wentian Pavilion to tell Su Qian’an to return to the mansion, and handed the letter to him and instructed: “Let Bingwen give this letter to Qiu Zhiting, and let Qiu Zhiting connect with Lu Mingxi and Anfeng Security Bureau to sign an **** contract. The contract of silver taels will be handed over to Lu Mingxi. Then Lu Mingxi must change into a white robe, take these two things, face the saint directly, and present it to the emperor in person.”
“Master Lu was just sent to Luomeiju in the middle of the city. He heard that he was seriously injured. I’m afraid he won’t be able to face the Holy Spirit in person.” Su Qianan reminded worriedly.
“Let Qiu Zhiting find a soft sedan chair to take him into the palace. When he enters the palace, let him crawl before the emperor.”
“Yes.” Su Qianan took the order after seeing his unquestionable expression.
It’s not that Xia Chu was ruthless, now is the best time. The worse Lu Mingxi was, the heavier Du Hanfei’s punishment would be. The emperor also became more and more justifiable and upright.
In the study of Hengwu Courtyard, Xia Chu pushed the door and entered. He smiled sweetly at Lord Hou.
“Father, it’s time for you to enter the palace to relieve the emperor’s sullen mood after the early court, and by the way, wait for the nomination of the governor after the end of the big show.”
After entering the Prince Mo mansion at night, Xu Wenlan sighed at Xiao Mubai while drinking: “I really admire the people behind the scenes more and more. Of course, you are the first and he is the second.”
Xiao Mubai didn’t speak for the past few days. He has also been waiting, waiting for what kind of surprise that person will bring to him.
From the initial paper letter, Mr. Wu’s accidental intervention, Zhu Chenlin’s imprisonment, singing and singing overnight, and then to the acquittal of Lu Mingxi and Zhu Chenlin, the county governor of Runan was sentenced to be executed.
He always felt that things would not end there.
Sure enough, Zhu Chenlin had just returned to the prime minister’s residence. The **** hasn’t gotten hot yet, and Du Hanfei hasn’t scolded enough yet. The sage’s imperial army went to the prime minister’s mansion in person and sent Zhu Chenlin directly to the death row.
According to Xu Wenlan, the emperor was talking to Lord Xiahou in the imperial garden in the future.
Eunuch Li suddenly communicated that it was Lord Lu who dragged the injured body into the palace. Although he was supported by two little eunuchs along the way, he had been in prison for more than half a year, and the number of tortures he had endured could not be counted. He staggered from the palace gate to the imperial garden, gasping for two steps, and the wound had already opened. Now, this is the way to go. has become a **** road…
The emperor was shocked, and quickly announced the imperial doctor, and sent someone to carry it into the Qingxin Hall.
Lord Lu entered the hall. After a while, Longyan in the hall was furious, and the emperor issued four orders in a row.
1. The Imperial Forest Army personally went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to arrest Zhu Chenlin and put him on death row.
2. Summon Qi Zuhai, the admiral of the Jiangzhou navy, to return to Beijing, and detain Cai Wenyong, the captain of the navy, to return to Beijing for execution.
3. Appoint Lu Mingxi as governor of Jiangzhou, and take office immediately after his injury.
Fourth, Jiangzhou Anfeng Escort Bureau fulfills its duties, exposes meritorious deeds, and grants it the title of imperial escort.
When these four decrees came down, the officials who had tried to protect Zhu Chenlin in the early days panicked, and most of the civil and military officials were stupid.
Although Xiao Mubai didn’t know what happened in the hall, he could vaguely guess it. Guan Yin was robbed by pirates, but the emperor suddenly ordered Cai Wenyong to be executed. Among them, the mystery can be imagined.
Xu Wenlan’s admiration is not unreasonable, Lu Mingxi can really show the iron proof that Zhu Chenlin was killed by one move. Even in the bottom of Xiao Mubai’s heart, there was a trace of admiration for this person.
Yes, appreciate it. Admire him for being bold and agile, and his bitter tactics are the finishing touch. The timing of the evidence submission is also just right.
Xiao Mubai turned the wine glass unconsciously, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
“He, bear your admiration.”
Xu Wenlan was drinking wine when she choked on Xiao Mubai’s words. He stammered and said, “Does His Royal Highness King Mo also have someone who looks good?”
Xiao Mubai drank the wine in the glass in one go.
“Mr. Xu remains neutral this time and won’t be implicated. It’s a blessing.” Xiao Mubai poured himself another glass of wine.
“Yeah, my father is regretting not being on Mrs. Wu’s side.”
“There are only a few officials who are not afraid of death who dare to stand on Mrs. Wu’s side.”
“This time, His Royal Highness has been in the limelight. Over the years, he has never participated in the affairs of the court. Only today’s Zaochao stood on the side of Mr. Wu. It’s really a blockbuster.”
Xiao Mubai didn’t care too much.
“It’s Xiao Yanjun who is troubled. I’m afraid it’s my fourth brother who will regret his bowels.”
Xu Wenlan laughed, and toasted with Xiao Mubai.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, some people are happy and others are worried.
Above the morning court, most of the civil and military officials knelt down. The frontmost and most conspicuous two people are Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei.
Originally, Du Hanfei was no big deal. The disciples were corrupt, and they were unavoidably scolded by the emperor and punished with some stipends. But, he just caught Zhu Chenlin in the morning, and in the afternoon, Lu Mingxi gave blood to the imperial city.
Moreover, they also took out a hand letter from Zhu Chenlin to Cai Wenyong himself, which stated that Cai Wenyong would take the sailor, pretend to be a pirate, and rob the official’s money. Even the transportation route map after robbing the official bank is attached on the back.
The overwhelming evidence was overwhelming, he couldn’t move, was powerless to refute, and couldn’t turn over.
Du Hanfei knelt down and pleaded guilty. The emperor snorted coldly and ordered to fine him one year’s salary and remove him from the position of the chief examiner of the Spring Festival.
Du Hanfei felt resentment in his heart, and the emperor had really relieved him of some power. You must know that the position of the chief examiner has many advantages. He can not only place his own students. Even if he is not his student, an official who came out of Chunwei and later became an official, seeing him Du Hanfei should respect him as a teacher.
The reason why Du Hanfei is now able to cover the sky with one hand and dominate the government and the opposition is because of the great convenience of Chunwei.
Now, the emperor dismissed him from the position of chief examiner on the grounds that he did not know how to employ people, and he could not pick it out. Most of the people kneeling behind could not protect themselves, let alone speak out for him at this time.
Du Hanfei could only knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
As for Xiao Yanjun, he has read poetry and books since childhood and learned to be rich in five cars. Even Taifu Wu once praised when he was young that His Royal Highness was extremely talented and diligent. In the future, Xiao Guo is afraid that no one can match his knowledge.
The emperor has always liked this son very much. He is smart, handsome, well-behaved and popular. It seems that no one in the palace dislikes him, ranging from eunuchs and palace maids to civil and military officials.
Seeing him kneeling tremblingly in front of him, the emperor felt anger in his chest, and cursed at him with hatred of iron and steel: “I have read the books of sages and sages in vain for all these years, learn more from your seventh brother.”
“Yes, I know I’m wrong. In the future, I will definitely ask the seventh brother for more advice.” Xiao Yanjun’s fisted hand had deep finger marks, but his tone was extremely humble.
Seeing that Xiao Zimu mentioned him, he said: “The fourth brother was also blinded for a while, and the emperor should not get angry and hurt the dragon body.”
The emperor looked at Xiao Zimu again at this time, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye.
“You will be the chief examiner of this year’s Spring Festival. Don’t let me down.” In fact, the emperor has been thinking about resigning Du Hanfei’s chief examiner. Seeing this son who has never formed a party for selfishness, he felt that it was the perfect fit, so he made an order.
When Xiao Zimu heard the words, there was no joy on his face. He accepted the order without being humiliated, and replied calmly: “My son will definitely live up to the expectations of the father and the emperor.”
Seeing him calm and calm, the emperor felt a little more joy in his heart.
Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei looked at each other, their faces were dark.
The emperor gave Wu Taifu and other officials some salaries, jewelry, and cloth. Praise their literary popularity, and unyielding firm belief. make them very useful.
As for the rest, the part of the kneeling Wuyangyang. The light ones were fined with salaries, and the heavy ones were demoted to three grades.
After retreating, there was a lot of mourning.
Only Mrs. Wu and a few others were full of spring breeze…
