At this time, Jinshang thought of Zhang Rui's benefits again.
Whenever Tai Jian was in trouble, it was Zhang Rui who stepped forward, not only resolving the problem for him but also satisfying Tai Jian.
But Zhang Rui didn't show up today.
I looked at Zhang Rui several times today, but Zhang Rui didn't come out. He just lowered his head, as if he was very tired because of the thief last night.
Seeing that no one spoke up today, everyone was waiting for him to speak. He could only ponder for a long time and said warmly: "I know Liu Qing's intention. This time, the Su command envoy and the King of Jin are in dispute. One is a mother and the other is a country. I can't bear to criticize him harshly." , I fined Commander Su three months' salary as a warning to others. As for Concubine Zhang, I also said that if the minister in the palace has given too much, I will punish her, but you don't have to take off your hat."
Fang Weichun helped: "Your Majesty's punishment is nothing more than scratching an itch."
Liu Baoqi said sternly: "Since Concubine Zhang enjoys the title of a first-class concubine, she should have the virtues to match it. However, the concubine is becoming more and more arrogant. The King of Jin is the legitimate eldest son, and the concubine actually yells at her. There is no difference between a noble concubine and a concubine. There is no difference between honor and inferiority." If you ignore the ancestral etiquette and laws, you should be punished. If you ignore it, you will also suffer the disaster of Daji and Baosi in the future."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and had strange expressions on their faces. They hurriedly lowered their heads to hide it, and glanced left and right to see how other people would react to this.
Some people even looked at the two kings of Jin and Yan who were standing in the first row.
There were even those who were brave enough to glance back and forth between Zhang Rui, King Jin and King Yan.
This was the first time that a concubine was mentioned in the court.
In the past, even if King Jin mentioned King Yan and replaced him with his second son, everyone knew that King Jin's succession was the orthodox one. However, no one ever mentioned this matter in the court, and they all respected King Yan and Concubine Zhang.
The noble eldest son of the King of Jin finally appeared in front of everyone with his words of remonstrance.
The king of Jin stood tall and jade-like at the foot of the royal steps, his face as usual, unfazed by honor or disgrace.
King Yan clenched his teeth, his face was ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly at his sides, wishing he could rush forward and tear Liu Baoqi's mouth to pieces.
Tai Jian asked Concubine Zhang. He knew that he would protect her, so he didn't panic at all. However, at this moment, Liu Baoqi tore off the veil that they had deliberately kept blurred, and the probing eyes from all around made him feel more humiliated than ever before.
He couldn't conceal his anger and wanted to argue, but Zhang Rui stopped him with a look.
King Yan suddenly remembered what Zhang Xutang said about "retreating". Although he did not move, he was very angry in his heart. He stretched his donkey face and looked at Liu Baoqi coldly.
Back off, back off, the King of Jin has encouraged Tai Jian to bully him, where are you going to back off!
And this damn Liu Baoqi, when did he become King Jin’s man?
However, Liu Qiuyu, the envoy of the Third Division, stood up and said: "The Holy Ming is not a foolish king. Concubine Zhang has been in the harem for many years and has never interfered in political affairs. She is not a person who brings harm to the country. Liu Tai's words are really nonsense. "Does it mean that His Majesty needs to give approval to someone he likes?"
Liu Baoqi became more powerful and said to Liu Qiuyu: "Since you have not interfered in the government affairs, why did your wife keep sending treasures to Concubine Zhang? Why did Concubine Zhang meet your wife and say that she was her sister! I would like to ask, Dingzhou Red porcelain is rare even in the palace, so why did your family give it to Concubine Zhang?"
Liu Qiuyu didn't expect that he would get angry, leaving Liu Baoqi speechless and frozen on the spot.
When other people saw this, they were afraid that they would be caught in the hands of Tai Jian, and they did not dare to speak up.
Liu Baoqi turned to Jin and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Qiuyu repeatedly sent treasures to invite Concubine Zhang to be favored. Concubine Zhang accepted them all, which is the source of disaster. I ask your Majesty to punish Liu Qiuyu together!"
"Liu Baoqi," Liu Qiuyu said loudly, "you are taking personal revenge for the guilty official Wan Yu! You are biting and biting indiscriminately! Who doesn't know that your nephew and uncle have deep feelings!"
He turned to me again: "Your majesty is wise and will never be deceived by you!"
Liu Baoqi sneered: "Since I gave the advice, I have never hidden anything personal. Today, I speak from the bottom of my heart. Your Majesty has your own judgment."
Today I looked at Liu Baoqi, which was harder than a stone, and thought to myself, I can't tell the difference, so you can go make the noise yourself.
He sat on the throne and saw that the remonstrance became more and more fierce. The whole censor's platform was speaking out one after another. They almost pounced on him to punish Concubine Zhang, and he became more and more dizzy.
In the end, he could only say "retire from the court" in a hurry, left the officials behind, left the Chui Gong Hall, sat on the pedestal, and told Wei Qiao: "Quickly leave!"
He stabilized his steps and carried Jinshang away from Chui Gong Hall. Jinshang turned around frequently, as if there was a tiger chasing him behind him, and said to Wei Qiao: "Don't go to Wende Hall, go to Yanfu Palace. If there are ministers who want to see you,
, just say I have a headache."
These admonishers are not afraid of death, let alone dismissal from office. If they were dismissed today for the sake of Concubine Zhang, they would only dream of leaving a mark in the history books.
If I don't give them an answer in the court, they will chase me to Wende Hall. If I don't see you again, their excuses will fly into my hands like snowflakes, and they will not give up until they achieve their goal.
It wasn't until Bu Chu entered Yanfu Palace that Jin Shang breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
When he walked to the water's edge, he saw his two young sons sitting in the waterside pavilion, legs touching legs, hands on hands, shoulders on top of each other, heads on top of each other, reading a book together.
I am very unfamiliar with these two sons today. The last time I saw these two sons was during the Chinese New Year.
At this time, seeing the two of them as brothers and sisters, I couldn't help feeling emotional. I waved to Wei Qiao and quietly walked over.
The two princes of Dongyang and Tongyi read each other's copybooks instead of books. After reading yours and mine, they both felt that the two brothers were gifted and made rapid progress in writing large characters, so they complimented each other.
Feet, appreciate each other and enjoy themselves.
When Jinshang stepped behind the two of them, Prince Dongyang had already noticed it and thought to himself: "Your Majesty always treats others as fools. How can you not notice it when you are so close?"
The Prince of Tongyi County also noticed it, but he was a little nervous and couldn't help but lean against his brother.
In the heart of Prince Tongyi, just like King Yan, he doesn't show up often. Once he appears, he must behave like an elder brother and a father, and count them carefully first. Fortunately, the palace is big enough, and they
The chances of meeting each other are few and far between.
Prince Dongyang put his arms around him and squeezed his shoulders.
The Prince of Tongyi County quickly asked in detail: "Third brother, the Bo Xi that the academic officials mentioned today is really such a person?"
"of course it's true."
"Then what does it mean to only see the outside but not the inside?"
"Did you fall asleep again when the academic officer was talking?"
"No."
"What sweet dream did you have?"
"I dreamed of eating roast chicken."
The Prince of Dongyang County sighed and explained carefully to the Prince of Tongyi County: "Bo Xiu and Wu Zixu planned state affairs together. Wu Zixu only knew that Bo Xiu shared the same hatred with him. He said that he and Bo Xiu were 'sympathizing with each other and sharing the same worries.'
, but Bei Li saw the true nature of Bo Xi, saying that Bo Xi was a hawk with an eye on a tiger, he was greedy by nature, specialized in meritorious service and good at killing, and if he was reused, Wu Zixu would be hurt in the future."
"and after?"
"Later, Bo Xi took bribes and took power and mutilated Wu Zixu to death."
