Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Extreme joy leads to sorrow
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was settled, Dr. Liu Yan, son of Zhu Zihou Liu Yannian, slowly stood up.
He is also the only official in the prince family who comes from a noble family, and he is very capable.
It is said that he found someone from Qinghe Zhang early this time, and he wanted to use it as a trump card to reverse today's situation!
But Liu Yan came down from the hall solemnly and bowed to Prime Minister Gongsun He:
"My subordinates have something to do, and I must report it to all the ministers."
Prince Consort Jin Rixi frowned, he sighed in his heart and finally said nothing.
In fact, he had already guessed that this would happen.
At this time, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong raised his hand to stop him from speaking, but in the end he sighed.
"Mr. Liu, please speak!"
Du Ling noticed the actions of Jin Rixi and Gongsun Hong from the side and couldn't help but panic. He felt that the situation was not good and it was too late to stop them.
A man in his thirties had already stood next to Liu Yan.
"My lords, this is Boqiu, the grandson of Zhang Gong, the governor of Qinghe County after Wencheng Liuhou..."
Du Ling suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
He has always been knowledgeable and has a strong memory, and he also knows a few inside stories about the Zhang family.
"Zhang Boqiu, why are you here?" Gongsun Yi pointed at the visitor with an ugly expression.
Zhang Boqiu's eyes dodge and he dare not face Gongsun Yi directly, "Boqiu has met Colonel Gongsun!"
"I'm asking you a question!"
Gongsun Yi was about to question Zhang Boqiu, but Liu Yan stepped forward and stood between the two.
"My lords, Lord Boqiu and Zhang Yue are from the same clan. I have something to report to you..."
Before Liu Yan finished speaking, there was already an uproar around him.
Jin Rixi and Gongsun Hong both looked solemn.
Liu Yan had already anticipated the reaction of the people around him, so he ignored it. Instead, he pulled Zhang Boqiu over and said, "Gentleman, please tell everyone what you want to disclose to me!"
Zhang Boqiu took a deep breath and said, "You see clearly, I am Boqiu of the Zhang family, and my father is the son of the former Qinghe Prefect Dian... This son of Zhang Yue does not listen to the teachings of his elders... he is willing to become a son-in-law... he has abandoned his ancestors... so
My father decided to leave the clan one by one."
In this era, disrespecting elders and betraying ancestors is a serious sin.
"How dare you talk nonsense here!" Gongsun Yi was trembling with anger.
This is exactly what Liu Yan hopes to see. It would be even more perfect if Gongsun Yi was so angry that he beat Zhang Boqiu.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Yi was not someone to take things for granted. He quickly suppressed his anger and calmed down.
"Zhang Boqiu, you are so stupid, do you know what you are doing?"
"Why is Qinghe Zhang so unwise?" Du Ling was puzzled.
"Could it be!" He suddenly thought of a rumor, and then his face showed horror.
Zhang Boqiu didn't speak, his eyes avoided looking at Gongsun Yi.
"My lords, Zhang Yue, who has such a large number of people, has forgotten his ancestors and behaves despicably, how can he be given a national treasure..."
"Otherwise, this is just one person's word, how can we believe it..." Shang Qiucheng retorted.
"Shang Gong said otherwise. I heard... Zhang Yue..."
"Zhang Yue..."
"This boy should be sent to Tingwei Mansion for strict investigation..."
The two sides became increasingly heated over Zhang Yue's incident.
The two sides argued for a day, but no result was reached.
However, Prime Minister Gongsun He felt heavy.
As the prime minister, he naturally knew more than ordinary people. Emperor Xianjing had already deprived Qinghe Zhang of his inheritance rights.
Legally speaking, Zhang Yue was the direct descendant of Marquis Wencheng, and Zhang Qinghe was already a minor sect. There was no reason for the minor sect to expel the larger sect.
What's more, there was something strange about Zhang Bijiang's death...
In the announcement room, the emperor read a memorial sent by the messenger in beautiful clothes.
He asked casually, "Have the Prince Consort arrived?"
"Your Majesty, we haven't arrived yet."
"Go and call the Prince Consort!"
"promise!"
Jin Rixi had just left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Xiaohuangmen who came to convey the order had already arrived.
He did not dare to delay and immediately hurried to the announcement room.
"My minister Jin Rixi pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty live forever!"
"Sit down, how is today's meeting?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, today..."
Jin Rixi explained the situation of today's meeting without any emotional bias.
"This is the meeting record, your Majesty, please check it!"
Finally, he presented the minutes of the meeting to the emperor.
The emperor's eyes flashed coldly after reading the records.
"Hmph, there are still many people in this world who are not afraid of death. This is a sword that deceives me!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The Huangmen waiters around him were so frightened that they fell to their knees and did not dare to speak.
"Call the Tingwei and the prince to me..."
About two-quarters of an hour later, Prince Liu Ju and Tingwei Du Zhou entered the announcement room together.
"Prince, let's take a look!"
The emperor threw a document written on silk to Liu Zhi.
Liu Ju quickly looked at the text in his hand, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
After a while, his back was soaked with sweat.
"What do you want to say, Prince?"
Liu Ju fell to his knees with a plop, "Father, please forgive me, this is all my fault... I hope my father will show mercy."
The emperor looked at his son with a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.
"Tingwei!"
"I am here"
"This matter will be left to the Ertingwei Mansion."
"promise!"
"Drawing up the decree, I wish the Marquis Zi has no way to teach his son... to remove the title, and to set up a wheel..."
"Captain Prince Consort, I'll leave it to you to handle it now!"
"Father!" Prince Liu Zheng stood aside and wanted to stop him, but felt he had nothing to say.
"My lord, I am at your service!"
After Jin Rixi and Du Zhou left, the emperor drove out all the surrounding attendants with a wave of his hand, leaving only the prince Liu Zhi behind.
The father and son didn't know what they said. An entire hour later, they saw the prince walking out of the announcement room with a pale face.
…
Outside Zhuzihou's mansion, a group of Jinwu guards had surrounded the mansion. The people in the mansion were already panic-stricken.
In the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Liu Yan, who was still high-spirited during the day, fell to his knees in front of him, ashen.
"Shuzi, why don't you tell me as soon as possible what you have done recently!"
The person who spoke was Lord Liu Yan and Marquis Zhuzi Liu Yannian.
"My child has been just trying to stop Zhang Yue from being granted the title of Marquis these days..."
