Chapter two hundred and eighty first ten thousand arrows
After Concubine Zhang finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Imakami stared at her face, looking at it very carefully, as if he was meeting her for the first time - he had seen her before all wrapped in gold and silver threads, and what he saw was a splendid place, rich in pink and white.
, today I was looking at her as a person.
He saw traces of Zhang Rui on her face, even somewhat similar to the naughty Zhang Xutang.
The same single eyelids, the same sweeping eyebrows, the same good looks.
The Zhang family wrapped him up calmly.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Zhang made him frightened by the unfamiliar eyes and couldn't help but speak out.
Jin Shang withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "Prince Jin is the eldest son, and he teaches brothers to be affectionate and reasonable, but you are wearing rose red today, and you have rubies on your hair. Why do you still have so many jasmine flowers on your head, red and white?"
, very ugly.”
Zhang Guiren stood completely frozen on the spot this time.
The color on her face instantly faded away. She was even more shocked than when Jin Shang scolded her for overstepping her bounds in Yanfu Palace. The ruby on her head shone brightly under the firelight, making her lips even whiter.
.
With trembling lips, she couldn't even utter a single word. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she pinched her fingers tightly in her palms, enduring great embarrassment.
I stopped looking at her now and ordered her to set off.
Wei Qiao looked at Jin Shang's face, without any intention of turning around, and waved his hand, and the group left silently, leaving only Concubine Zhang and her palace attendants standing there.
With this incident, the people in the Xuande Palace who had been so attentive to Concubine Zhang no longer dared to look at her. She stood there with a livid face, feeling the humiliation of being ignored.
After standing for a moment, she walked away and returned to her palace. King Yan had already returned to the previous court. She took off the flower crown on her head and smashed the rubies to pieces, and finally panted.
Sit in the chair.
It must be the evil King Jin who complained first!
King Jin is hateful!
Today, I vented my anger towards the Zhang family's weakness on Concubine Zhang, but my heart was still heavy. After going to court, I listened expressionlessly to the King of Jin's report on the interrogation of Liu Qiuyu and the arrest of Zhang Xuling.
As soon as this statement came out, the Zhang faction immediately took action, accusing the King of Jin of torturing him, causing trouble, and attacking the King of Yan. In contrast to the Zhang faction's righteous words, they accused Prime Minister Zhang of seeking profit for himself and stealing the country shamelessly, which was sensational.
The two parties completely lost the politeness of civil servants. They used their sharp tongues to accuse and abuse each other, swearing by heaven.
There were also those Qingliu officials who were devastated by the current situation in the court and took advantage of every opportunity to express their opinions and support the King of Jin.
Sitting on the throne today, I can't even get the words out of my mouth, so I can only listen in silence.
In the midst of the chaos, Liu Baoqi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty!"
Everyone in the quarrel stopped and looked at Liu Baoqi.
Liu Baoqi's face was solemn, and he stood among the ministers: "Your Majesty! I want to participate in the performance of Dou Qushan, the prefect of the Yamen of the capital."
Everyone was wondering, why did Liu Baoqi join Douqu Mountain at this time?
Dou Qushan also came out of the queue in confusion and looked at Liu Baoqi.
The noise made Jinshang dizzy, and Liu Baoqi undoubtedly made him take a breath.
At Jinshang's signal, Liu Baoqi said: "On the day of plowing this year, the two young masters of Prime Minister Zhang's house had a conflict with others in the flower tea house and were teased. There was a group of government servants and four doctors present, and they all died unexpectedly. Among them were
The relatives of the two deceased people both wrote lawsuits and asked Magistrate Dou to investigate. However, Magistrate Dou used his lips and tongue to cover up the case with falsehoods, knowing it but not investigating, thinking that he was protecting himself, but he was actually derelict in his duty!
There has been no response to the lawsuit for a long time, leaving the deceased's relatives with no way to lodge a complaint. They stopped the minister's sedan chair halfway and asked the minister to provide justice for him. Since I am unable to handle the case, I request your majesty to issue a gracious decree to investigate the case thoroughly."
It's the Zhang family again.
Today's brows are furrowed, and the anger that he has been holding back is almost uncontrollable.
Zhang Rui rebelled, the first son of the Zhang family was corrupt, and the second son of the Zhang family killed people because of shame. Do they still regard him as the emperor?
Dou Qushan sighed: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I have been investigating the two lawsuits mentioned by Liu Taijian, but there are few clues. The cruise ship that the government officials were riding was also maliciously robbed and hacked after it was dragged ashore. Chopped into pieces, each of the four doctors died in their own way, and only one of them submitted a lawsuit. After careful investigation, I found out that the other three died suddenly. I just didn't know that this matter was related to Zhang Yanei. Please ask Your Majesty. Decree that the case will be investigated by the Criminal Division."
Liu Baoqi sneered: "The Criminal Division can't even get Liu Qiuyu's confession, how can it still interrogate Zhang Yanei?"
Shen Zhijie and Deng Zhonglun were blushing and unable to argue.
Looking at Zhang Rui today: "Although Zhang Xutang likes to go out at night, he has a good nature. Even if he is teased, he will only hit people with copper coins and will not kill people. If Prefect Dou investigates this matter carefully, he will not be wronged. he."
"I obey the order." Dou Qushan quickly accepted the order.
"Liu Qing, do you have anything else to say?" Jinshang asked when he saw Liu Baoqi standing still.
Liu Baoqi looked at Zhang Rui: "The Zhang family and his son are monopolizing power, forming cliques for personal gains, and betraying the country for money. Today during the morning court, I came out of the courtyard and saw a low-level imperial guard talking to people in a private place. Zhang Rui was accomplices back then." King Chen has rebelled. Now there is evidence in the hands of Deputy Commander Su, which will be presented to His Majesty. I have been here for a long time and have never heard His Majesty mention this matter. I am worried that Deputy Commander Su and Zhang Xiang are colluding and concealing the matter. I ask Vice Commander Su to point it out. Come and answer."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and the voices of discussion came like a tide.
Today, his face turned pale. He didn't expect that someone in the imperial army who was guarding him would actually tip off the Zhang family. The anger that had been building up for a long time finally erupted at this moment.
For the first time, he stood up from the throne with an angry expression: "You Zhang family have rebelled against heaven!"
Although he was scolding the Zhang family, he did not dare to look directly at Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui knelt down to plead guilty and refused to defend himself. The Zhang faction also knelt down one after another and asked me to thoroughly investigate the person who made the evil talk and deceived the public. This statement must have been made by someone else. It has not rained in Dingzhou for a month now. It has not rained in Dingzhou for a month. Take this opportunity to shake the foundation of the country!
King Yan also realized the importance of Zhang Rui at this moment and wished he could hammer Liu Baoqi to death.
The Zhang faction was retreating steadily under Zhang's sharp tongue, and had no power to resist. There were only a few admonishers, who were always good at talking and talking, and could argue with the ministers.
King Jin stood like a rock in the midst of the turbulent chat room.
He watched the fierce dispute in front of him with a cold eye. Seeing Jin Shang restrained and afraid of Zhang Rui despite being furious, he found it ridiculous.
He expected that Zhang Rui's involvement in King Chen's rebellion would not be revealed in public today, so he arranged for the Pei family to speak quietly in front of Liu Baoqi. Everything in front of him was as he expected, and there was no mistake. The coolness brought by the melting iceberg lingered on him, making him feel extremely comfortable.
After a moment, Zhang Rui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty."
His voice was not loud, but he had been building up his power for a long time. With just two words, all the arguing voices stopped.
He straightened his back, put the chao qi in his hand gently on the ground, raised his hands high, took off the official hat on his head, placed it in front of him, and finally knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I used to be young and frivolous, and my words and deeds were often inappropriate.
I ask your Majesty to check whether it is appropriate or not. You can make your own judgment on whether it is innocent or not."
