Taifu Wang was angrily scolding Zhu Tianjiang, a scum of the world and a disgrace to the academic world, when he saw Eunuch Wei walking in with his eyes narrowed.
"Old Madam, Your Majesty has ordered us to make a special trip to visit you. I wonder if Old Madam is physically injured?" Eunuch Wei walked to the bed before it collapsed, holding his hands.
When Taifu Wang saw that it was Eunuch Wei, he immediately closed his mouth and snorted coldly. Almost all officials in the court were afraid of Eunuch Wei, but Taifu Wang considered himself noble and did not accept his blame.
Eunuch Wei doesn't like this old guy in his heart. If he didn't want to come and sow discord, Eunuch Wei would not come here in person.
"Old Master, I heard that you asked a student of the Imperial College to be beaten? Haha! This is really a strange thing in the world. Master Bo, the dignified master of the Imperial College, was beaten by his own student. It is really unheard of. However, I heard that your student was
People from Zhennan General's Mansion, it's no wonder. Wufu's disciples should have entered the military camp and gone to the Imperial College to cause mischief. Old Master, don't be angry, just give our family a face and calm down and let's go.
." Eunuch Wei said with a smile.
When the several imperial doctors nearby heard this, they realized that Eunuch Wei's words were obviously comforting, but secretly teasing. With Wang Taifu's upright temper, how could he suppress this anger? The several imperial doctors looked at each other, who was it?
They didn't dare to speak and quietly retreated. They would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Besides, this Eunuch Wei is petty and loves to stir up trouble.
As expected, Taifu Wang became furious when he heard this, "Eunuch Wei, this is a matter of respecting teachers and teaching, why should I give you face? If the Ministry of Punishment dares to bend the law for personal gain, I will take the scholars to question the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment face to face."
"Hey~ I said, don't get angry at me. Our family also kindly advises you otherwise. Besides, I heard that Zhu Tianjiang has been taken away by people from the Zongren Mansion. This matter did not go through the Ministry of Punishment at all."
The father-in-law said with a sly smile.
"The Clan's Mansion? He is not a relative of the Emperor, so why should the Clan's Mansion come to ask questions? Humph! Even if he is a relative of the Emperor, I still want justice." As Taifu Wang said, he put on his shoes and got out of bed, throwing them down.
Eunuch Wei walked out alone.
Eunuch Wei gave a fierce 'bah' at Taifu Wang who was walking away, "Whoever dares to be unreasonable to me, I will sue you sooner or later." Eunuch Wei flicked the dust and left the Imperial Hospital with a group of young eunuchs.
.
Taifu Wang was holding back a breath of bad breath. Instead of admonishing the emperor, he went straight to the clan mansion.
In General Zhennan's Mansion, Zhao Si, the coachman who was in charge of waiting for Zhu Daguan outside the Imperial Academy, ran in from outside in a panic.
"Master~ It's not good~!" Zhao Si almost ran away and came to the main hall in a panic. If Yu Gege hadn't come out to find Guo Mansion's car and told him, I'm afraid Zhao Si would have to wait until dark.
Guo Tianxin was reading the letter from the Ministry of War, and frowned when he heard the shouting, "What's all the fuss about? It's not like the Yun Kingdom has invaded. Why are you shouting?"
"Sir, Mr. Zhu beat Mr. Wang above the school." Zhao Si gasped.
"What? Beat Mr. Wang?" Guo Tianxin stood up suddenly and looked at Zhao Si in surprise.
"Yu Gege told me personally that Mr. Zhu injured Taifu Wang and was imprisoned by the clan government."
"Zongren's Mansion?" Guo Tianxin was stunned, why is it not the Ministry of Punishment?
"I thought this damn thing would cause trouble for my Guo family. You go down first and don't talk nonsense." Guo Tianxin asked Zhao Si to step back and began to think about what to do. After all, Zhu Tianjiang is the head of the Guo family.
If you go to the Imperial College as a disciple, you will lose all your face if you really want to be kicked out. The family status of officials in the capital is very concerned about this kind of thing.
"Come here, prepare your horses." Guo Tianxin ordered.
Guo Tianxin was going to the residence of Li Hong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and he had to discuss this matter with him. Guo Tianxin knew about Taifu Wang's stubborn temper, and he wanted to find Li Hong as the intermediary to make peace.
In the back hall of the Zongren Mansion, Prince Jing rubbed his head and looked at Zhu Dacai coldly. His head hurt from the quarrel just now by the old master. It seemed that this matter was really difficult. Mr. Wang was as stubborn as a donkey.
, he refused to recognize his relatives at all, and had to be severely sentenced according to Dafeng law. Prince Jing thought to himself that this old man was crazy. If he wanted to be severely sentenced, why would the emperor throw this kid to him? It was obvious that he wanted to make a big deal out of him.
Small, just give each other a step and that's it.
"Zhu Tianjiang, I ask you, why do you want to beat up your mentor?" Prince Jing also gave Guo Tianxin face, and did not interrogate him in the front hall, but took him to the back hall for questioning alone.
This king? "Are you Prince Jing?" Zhu Tianjiang asked cautiously.
He heard from Guo Ying that when Emperor Chengwu's brothers competed for the throne, three of the six brothers were defeated, and one of the remaining two was sent to another place to become an idle prince. In the capital, only
Prince Jing was left behind because Prince Jing supported Emperor Chengwu back then.
"It is this king."
"Oh, I often hear Yu Gege mention you and always praise you in front of me, saying that you are a kind father. Prince Jing, I heard that you like riding horses and hunting. You must be very good at archery." Zhu Tianjiang began to trick him.
He looked so close, as if he was very familiar with Yu Gege. Anyway, he knew that Prince Jing would not ask Yu Gege.
Prince Jing stroked his beard and said, "Haha, my archery skills~~" Prince Jing suddenly felt something was wrong and was almost fooled by the praise, "You brat, am I asking you or you asking me? Stop talking nonsense and tell me to hit someone.
The facts." Prince Jing said and glared hard.
Zhu Tianjiang scratched his head and said, "Prince Jing, I didn't hit anyone, this is what happened~!"
Just as Zhu Tianjiang was about to talk about what happened at the scene, he saw an official in a yellow jacket coming to the door.
"I would like to report to the prince, Mr. Li, the Minister of War, and Mr. Guo, the general of Zhennan, to ask for an audience."
When Prince Jing heard this, he felt as embarrassed as if he had eaten bitter melon. When Zhu Tianjiang heard that reinforcements had arrived, he simply shut up and stopped talking.
Prince Jing waved his hand, "Please invite them in."
Not long after the officer left, he saw a hot-tempered Guo Tianxin and an old man in court clothes walking in.
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old, and I'm causing you trouble again. This kid did something like this on the first day he entered the Imperial College. You said it's not good to hit anyone, but you hit that old guy Taifu Wang instead." As soon as Guo Tianxin entered the door, he started
Talking endlessly.
Li Shangshu smiled bitterly and said, "General Guo, what you said is wrong. No one should be beaten." Li Hong said, glanced at Zhu Tianjiang, and said to Prince Jing: "Prince Jing, how many of the Guo family are there?"
No one has entered the Imperial Academy in ten years, so I can't just kick him out on the first day. Since Brother Tianxin brought me here, Your Majesty, you must give me some face."
Prince Jing shook his head in embarrassment and pointed at Li Hong, "You guys, the people from the Ministry of War are facing the people from the military. What should I do? Just now, Mrs. Wang came to my place and argued for a long time. The quarrel made my head hurt.
"
"Why, it seems that the old guy is unwilling to make my Guo family stink, isn't he?" Guo Tianxin said dissatisfied.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he felt for the first time that Guo Tianxin also had a cute side, and Guo Ying followed him in this regard. It seemed that this military faction really couldn't deal with that Wang Taifu. Thinking of this, Zhu Tianjiang began to have thoughts in his mind
Got the idea.
"General Guo, don't yell at me. Your retainer injured Taifu Wang. No matter what, it's all your fault." Prince Jing has a good relationship with Guo Tianxin. If it had been anyone else, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"Your Majesty, I didn't hit anyone." Zhu Tianjiang suddenly shouted.
The three important figures all looked at Zhu Tianjiang, who looked aggrieved at this time.
"Your Majesty, the student really didn't hit anyone. What happened was that the student was listening carefully. Wang Taifu came over and asked the student whose family he was from. The student replied, it was Zhu Tianjiang from the Guo Mansion. Who knew that Taifu Wang would insult my family?
The general said that he was a warrior who only knew how to ride horses and hunt, but did not know how to govern the country. The student wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't expect that Taifu Wang would hit him with a stick, but the student just blocked him and he fell down.
Yu Gege and the fourth prince can prove it." Zhu Tianjiang talked so eloquently that he almost took it seriously. He was afraid that Yu Gege would not be able to speak alone, so he reluctantly pulled the fourth prince in. He really
I'm worried that the fresh pig won't give me face, or it will be troublesome if I don't admit it.
Guo Tianxin gritted his teeth, "Did you hear that? That old man Wang looks down on the people in our military department. Not to mention that he didn't fight, even if he did, he would be right."
Guo Tianxin has been guarding the border for many years and is used to acting arbitrarily. Who dares to scold him? The best thing to do now is to say that he is a warrior in front of all the officials' children. Can you not be anxious?
Li Hongshangshu remained silent and looked at Prince Jing with gloating eyes, saying in his heart that the witnesses were well found. One is your daughter and the other is the prince. Let’s see what you do.
Prince Jing scratched his head, "I said you two sit down and talk about it. I didn't think anything about it. It's just that Mr. Wang doesn't want to, so I have to give him a bowl of water." Prince Jing said, ruthlessly
He glared at Zhu Tianjiang fiercely. He thought to himself that this boy even dragged his own daughter into this, it was really difficult to handle.
"Your Majesty, justice is in the heart of the people. It's up to you." Guo Tianxin seemed to be convinced, and his tone became even tougher. Before he came, he was thinking of backing up the gift, and asked Li Hong and Prince Jing to help him deliver it to Taifu Wang as an apology. Now
It seems that even gifts are omitted.
Prince Jing sighed and shouted to the door, "Come here, call Yu'er and the fourth prince. I want to give a confession to them."
After King Jing finished his instructions, he said to Zhu Tianjiang: "You kid, don't deceive me, or you will look good on me."
After saying that, Prince Jing ignored Zhu Tianjiang and began to chat with Guo Tianxin and Li Hong about the military. Prince Jing also led troops when he was young, so the three of them could chat together.
Zhu Daqi felt a little scared now. What would happen if Yu Gege and the fourth prince didn't admit it later? He originally thought that Prince Jing might not testify, but he didn't expect to call someone on the spot. Zhu Tian descended
Don't worry about the other students. They are all children of government officials. When they return home, they will definitely be told by their parents to keep silent and will not offend anyone.
While Prince Jing and the other three were chatting, Yu Gege and the Fourth Prince were invited over.
As soon as the fourth prince entered the door, he went to pay homage in a very formal manner, "My nephew, I would like to pay my respects to Uncle Wang."
After that, the fourth prince stood up and bowed to Li Hong and Guo Tianxin, "Well, you two adults."
Yu Gege was so simple that he directly made a wish, "Greetings to my father, please be well, both adults."
Li Hong and Guo Tianxin also bowed their hands politely. Regardless of their age, they are members of the royal family.
"Yu'er, Xuanzhu, and Zhu Tianjiang said that he did not hit Taifu Wang. Can you two testify? Is this true?" Prince Jing asked.
Since the interrogation of the case had officially begun, a transcript officer began to write down detailed confessions.
Upon hearing this, Yu Gege and the fourth prince looked at Zhu Tianjiang strangely. Zhu Tianjiang turned half sideways and blinked one eye. I mean, brothers and sisters, do me a favor and discuss anything in the future.
"Back to the emperor, Zhu Tianjiang did not take action against Master Bo." The fourth prince said very seriously.
"Ah~ um!" Yu Gege nodded guiltily.
Zhu Tianjiang's anxious heart suddenly relaxed. It seems that this little fat man is quite interesting. I will definitely find a way for him to take over the throne.
As soon as Prince Jing saw Yu Gege's red little face, he knew he was lying. However, he did not tell her off.
"Yu'er, Xuanzhu, and Zhu Tianjiang said that Taifu Wang came over and asked him whose son he was. The boy replied that he was Zhu Tianjiang from the Guo Mansion. Then Taifu Wang insulted his family, General Guo, saying that he was a martial artist~~ You guys
Tell me, is this the process?" Prince Jing actually repeated Zhu Tianjiang's original words.
Zhu Tianjiang's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. He was so numb that this was not a question, it was simply a confession. It seemed that he was afraid that his daughter and the emperor's nephew had a bad relationship, so he explained it specifically. Zhu Tianjiang saw Li Hong's mysterious expression
With a smile, I understood now that these three old guys were in the same group.
"Uncle Wang, everything is true, and other students can also testify. However, some of them are the children of civil servants. I am afraid they will be biased towards Mr. Zhu Bo. Moreover, Mr. Zhu Bo is usually very majestic, and it is estimated that many people will take photos of him.
Due to the majesty of Lord Bo, I dare not tell the truth." The fourth prince said with righteous words.
Zhu Tianjiang was so happy that he went crazy. He thought to himself that this guy was so cunning and had already thought out his plan. He was so stupid that he would be in trouble if he didn't become a lawyer. He was simply a strange flower among scoundrels.
Prince Jing squinted his eyes and watched the official next to him writing quickly. After finishing writing, Prince Jing took it over and looked at it with satisfaction.
"Li Shangshu, General Guo, it seems that this is all a misunderstanding. Please go back, you two. However, Zhu Tianjiang will stay one night. After the court tomorrow morning, I will give him a few slaps to calm Taifu Wang." Prince Jing.
Said with a smile.
"Hey, Prince Jing, I still have a fine sword in my collection. I will show it to you for appreciation when I have time." Guo Tianxin said with an embarrassed smile.
Even a fool can tell that Prince Jing is helping the Guo Mansion. Guo Tianxin can't just give up everything.
Prince Jing sent Li Hong and Guo Tianxin to the door. Zhu Tianjiang quickly bowed his hands to the fourth prince and said, "Fourth prince, that's funny, we will be best friends from now on. Yugege, I will remember your love, and we will meet sooner or later."
Return it to you."
"Bah~ Who is in love with you? I hate it." Yu Gege blushed with embarrassment, turned around and ran out.
"Zhu Tianjiang, there is a price for my help. From now on, when my father assigns poetry writing tasks to our brothers, I will leave them to you." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he curled his lips and smiled, and walked out with a big face.
Zhu Tianjiang let out a sigh of relief and finally passed the test. It is estimated that the prince will also deliberately arrange it tomorrow so that the punishment will not be too heavy.
The news of Prince Bo's beating spread throughout all the palaces in the capital overnight. Taifu Wang wrote quickly and wrote three memorials in a row, preparing to present them to the emperor tomorrow morning.
Prince Jing originally had good intentions to calm down this small matter, but he failed to do so, causing a turmoil in the court where civil and military officials were quarreling.
