"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ming blatantly intercepted the edict and acted without the royal law. Please punish him!" Mr. Zhou Ge and dozens of officials from the imperial court knelt on the ground one after another, shouting loudly.
The emperor softened his brows, glanced at Feng Xichun and the ministers standing below, and asked: "King Ming, Mr. Zhou Ge said that you have no law and should be punished. What do you say about this?"
For two consecutive days, Zhou Ge Lao led his ministers to plead for King Ming to be punished. The emperor really felt a headache, so he called Feng Xiling over. He had caused the trouble himself and had to solve it himself. Besides, there was a clear stream underneath, and he couldn't block it with his imperial staff.
Go into their mouths?
Feng Xichun smiled gracefully, and he knew that these officials were restless, but he was very interested in playing with them.
"Oh, it turns out that I have committed a crime. I wonder what the crime was?" Feng Xiling was surprised and asked Master Zhou Ge.
Mr. Zhou Ge snorted coldly, "Does Prince Ming want to pretend not to know and get away with it? How could it be so easy?"
"His Royal Highness, King Ming, has no respect for the king and has no respect for the Holy One. He should be removed from the throne and exiled thousands of miles away!" Mr. Zhou Ge's voice was resolute, and he did not flinch at all when he met Feng Xiyan's sharp eyes.
"I don't respect the Holy One. When did I not respect the Holy One? I really don't know, so I ask Mr. Zhou to enlighten me!" Feng Xiqi was confused for a while.
Elder Zhou Ge said: "You have intercepted the edicts many times and kept the father-in-law who delivered the edicts in Prince Ming's Mansion. Are you questioning and disrespecting the holy will?"
"Oh oh oh! So that's what happened!" Feng Xichuan had a look of sudden realization. When the ministers saw it, they really thought that he didn't know that he had committed a crime!
"Since His Highness Prince Ming already knows what crime you have committed, please plead guilty and obey the law!" Mr. Zhou Ge followed the trend and pressed forward step by step.
Feng Xichun suddenly pointed at Mr. Zhou Ge's nose with his finger and said, "Wait a moment! I still don't understand many things!" After he finished speaking, he turned to ask Eunuch Gao: "Eunuch Gao, just now
Mr. Zhou Ge said that this king imprisoned you in Prince Ming's Mansion, is this happening?"
Eunuch Gao naturally knew that the emperor was partial to Prince Ming. Moreover, he had not suffered any harm in Prince Ming's palace, so he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? His Highness Prince Ming just invited our family to have tea."
"Mr. Zhou Ge, you heard me, right? I did not bring Duke Gao into public relations, let alone question the holy will. Isn't your accusation too far-fetched?"
When Mr. Zhou Ge heard this, he was so angry that his beard was blowing, "This is obviously a strong argument! Eunuch Gao, you actually protected King Ming, what crime should you do?"
Eunuch Gao also seemed to be shocked, "Oh, Mr. Zhou Ge, what you said is serious, we are just telling the truth!"
"You!" Mr. Zhou Ge was so angry that he was speechless. He looked at Zheng Shoufu and said: "Master Shoufu, King Ming is so ignorant of the king's law and violates the holy will. You are the capital of the dynasty and you have always enforced the law impartially and never been partial. You
You won’t condone him doing this!”
Chief Zheng frowned. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. Even if Prince Ming really went too far, he would not bring down Prince Ming's Palace. Therefore, he always turned a blind eye.
However, now that Mr. Zhou Ge has labeled him as impartial and unbiased in enforcing the law, he has no choice but to speak.
"Is this disrespectful to His Majesty... This crime can be light or serious..." Zheng Shoufu stroked his beard and thought, but looked at Prince Ming, which meant that he didn't want to speak at all.
King Ming immediately understood and said with a smile: "If you say this is disrespectful to the Holy One, I would like to think of something. Back then, regarding the witchcraft incident, Mr. Zhou Ge openly cursed the Holy One and protected the traitor. Your Majesty was so kind that he did not punish Mr. Zhou Ge.
You, why are you so heartless that you want to deprive me of my throne for such a far-fetched crime?"
"You!" When Elder Zhou Ge heard this, Feng Xichun told him all the things he had done back then. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he had no words to refute.
The Yanguan behind him was about to speak, but when Feng Xichun said this, he suddenly lost his confidence. If King Ming is punished today, then Elder Zhou Ge must be punished first!
Feng Xichun smiled and said: "Zhou Ge Lao formed a group of ministers and put such a far-fetched charge on my head, and also wanted to remove my throne. Is it because they want to form a clique for personal gain and deceive the king?"
"You!" Mr. Zhou Ge almost fainted from anger. The Yan Guan behind him immediately supported him. Mr. Zhou Ge felt dizzy. He did not expect that he had gathered so many Yan Guan. Not only did he fail to convict King Ming,
Instead, he was bitten back by the other party!
"Mr. Zhou Ge, Mr. Zhou Ge!" The officials called Mr. Zhou Ge's name. Only then did Mr. Zhou Ge slowly come to his senses. At this time, the emperor had already stood up and said to the people around him: "Please call the imperial doctor quickly!"
But Mr. Zhou Ge knelt down again, bowed his head, and said: "Old minister, thank you for your concern. I have been loyal to the court for more than 20 years. I have always been dedicated to the country and have no selfish motives. Now His Highness King Ming says that I have formed a clique for personal gain and deceived the emperor. I am disrespectful to the emperor."
It’s unjust, Your Majesty!”
The emperor naturally knew that Mr. Zhou Ge was an honest official, so he waved his hand and said: "I know, you can get up and speak first."
Feng Xichun was also concerned about Mr. Zhou Ge at this time, "Mr. Ge is devoted to the country, and he is setting an example for all officials. It is only now that I wrongly blamed you, Mr. Zhou Ge!"
Mr. Zhou Ge snorted coldly and said: "How can I, an old minister, bear such praise from His Highness King Ming?"
Feng Xichun was not angry, and continued: "Mr. Zhou Ge, please don't be angry. Actually, Mr. Zhou Ge, you are old. You are not able to see and hear well, and it happens when you are bewitched by others. I will not pursue this matter."
It’s over, Mr. Pavilion, please don’t worry about it!”
When the ministers heard this, the Ming King changed his mind quickly. He knew that the emperor would not punish Mr. Zhou Ge, so he immediately became a good person and took a step back to show that he had a broad heart and would not care about Mr. Zhou Ge. If at this time,
If Mr. Zhou Ge wants to pursue the case, he will inevitably be accused of being a dignified old man who is not as caring as a junior.
After Zhou Gelao heard this, he got angry again, but he couldn't let it out, so he could see Feng Xiya's triumphant smile.
Things developed like this, which was exactly what the emperor expected. He immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Zhou Aiqing, King Ming has taken a step back. Look at this..."
Mr. Zhou Ge knew that he had not grasped the handle well and could not convict King Ming. Moreover, King Ming took a step back. If he continued to pursue the case, he would only suffer a loss. Therefore, he said: "Since His Highness King Ming does not care about the old minister, the old minister will also take a step back and no longer do it."
Investigate this matter."
The emperor nodded and said: "That's very good, that's very good."
After the court came down, Feng Xiya deliberately stopped in front of Elder Zhou Ge and said with a smile: "I heard that Elder Zhou Ge has been in power for more than 20 years and rarely enjoys family happiness. According to my opinion, now Zhou Ge
The old body and bones are far less than they used to be, so why not go home as soon as possible to coax your grandson, so as not to delay the important events of the court!"
He spoke in a very low voice, only the two of them could hear him. Mr. Zhou Ge was so angry that he pointed at Feng Xichuan and trembled. He was speechless and couldn't say a word. Feng Xichuan slowly pushed away Mr. Zhou Ge's finger and said, "Hey
Hey, Mr. Ge Lao, didn’t you care about me just now? Why did you regret it so quickly? How can you, the majestic Mr. Xia Ge, go back on your word?”
The voice of his words was so loud that all the ministers looked at him and shook their heads. Mr. Zhou Ge offended King Ming today, and I am afraid he will retire and return to his hometown soon!
"You!" Mr. Zhou Ge was so angry that his face turned red and he could hardly breathe. Seeing that Mr. Zhou Ge was about to fall down again, Feng Xiya immediately held his shoulders and said, "Mr. Zhou Ge, please calm down.
The people of Daxia are still counting on you!"
Mr. Zhou Ge was wheezing and panting, and only stared at Feng Xichuan. Seeing that he had stood firm, Feng Xizhen immediately bowed and said: "I have something urgent, Mr. Ge, please go slowly!"
After King Ming left, a group of disciples of Mr. Zhou Ge also came over and asked: "Teacher, did King Ming threaten you just now?"
Duke Zhou sneered and said, "It's not that easy for Prince Ming to want me to resign and return to my hometown!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he fluttered his sleeves and stepped down the white marble steps.
In a private room of a theater, three people were sitting, namely the fourth prince Feng Yan, Wang Xuan and Duke Wei Wang Xian.
"Fourth Highness, King Ming openly intercepted the imperial edict for Bei Tang Jin. This shows that he has had an affair with Bei Tang Jin for a long time. How can you still believe Bei Tang Jin?" Just got the news that the impeachment of King Ming failed, Duke Wei Guo said
Wang Xian immediately invited Feng Yan to remind him that Bei Tang Jin must not be trusted!
Feng Yan nodded and said: "This palace originally thought that King Ming was only temporarily interested in Beitang Jin. Now it seems that King Ming seems to be obsessed with this woman. He not only intercepted the imperial edict, but also asked the Queen Mother to issue a decree for marriage. From this, it seems that
, Bei Tangjin really can’t believe it!”
Wang Xuan said: "I'm afraid Beitang Jin has been deceiving you, His Highness Fourth Highness. She pretended to accept you, but she just came to inquire about our conspiracy!"
However, Feng Yan didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean that although Prince Ming is interested in Bei Tang Jin, Bei Tang Jin may not be interested in Prince Ming. After all, she also openly rejected Prince Ming."
Duke Wei sneered at Feng Yan's opinion. He knew what Feng Yan meant. At this time, Feng Yan still felt that Bei Tang Jin had a crush on him. Although this confidence was a common problem in the Feng family, this confidence was too much.
That was stupidity, so he sneered at Feng Yan and said, "Your Highness, you don't think that Bei Tangjin is completely devoted to you, do you?"
Feng Yan was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Is there anything that can't be done?"
Wei Guojing said: "This is indeed possible, but there is another possibility, that is, Beitang Jin is simply pretending to be good, so His Highness has to be on guard!"
Feng Yan nodded and said: "What Duke Wei Guo said makes sense. If this happens, the strategy of this palace will no longer work, because Bei Tang Jin already knows everything!"
Duke Wei said with a smile: "That is natural, but please don't feel bad, Your Highness, I will have a better idea at this time."
"Oh?" Feng Yan and Wang Xuan listened attentively.
However, at this time, an uninvited guest came to Bei Tangjin's Tingxue Pavilion. He was dressed in black and had a handsome face with a smile. He hugged Bei Tangjin and said, "Beitang Jin, don't worry, I already have you."
If we find a way to crack it, we will definitely be the final winners!"
