There has never been a day when Zhao Xi wanted to go to court as much as today.
Today coincides with the morning court, and it has been two days since the escort sent the group of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers to Kaifeng Mansion.
There has been no memorial in the past two days, so I should have an explanation this morning.
However, Zhao Xi didn't understand. It was said that there was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as well as a long entourage and a whole set of officials from the East Palace. This was considered a big event. Although the interrogation took time, the court had to give an explanation for such matters on the first day.
.
And what's going on now? The husband-in-law has been discussing matters for two days, but I haven't heard anything about it! This is weird.
It was still the same routine as always. First, the governors made a report on the current handling of major affairs of the country, and then each department reported on the progress of the matters assigned by the court... Well, as long as there is nothing nonsense, we will always be on the same page.
good for everyone.
Then, the chamberlain asked if anyone was looking for trouble and if there was a need for a big quarrel... This is how Zhao Xi viewed his family's court.
There really is!
"Your Majesty, there is someone who pretends to be your Majesty's son. I know that Qian Mingyi of the Kaifeng Prefecture did not discuss the authenticity, but actually saluted in the hall without making a judgment. When the thief was put in charge of Ruzhou, the superiors were suspicious and the people were confused...
…”
When Kaifeng's official Han Jiang opened his mouth, the court went into a rage.
Where does this go? When will the official family have another son?
Zhao Xi understood this situation. Qian Mingyi, the grandson, really dared? The so-called deception, he actually suppressed the matter so blatantly.
Who gave him such courage?
Originally, the way to deal with this kind of matter should be for him to inform his father as quickly as possible after encountering it, even if it is to inform his relatives, and try to solve the matter on a small scale as much as possible.
But he was so smart that he handled it in private, and still left such a big hidden danger.
What do these mean?
Is this Qian Mingyi a taboo for His Majesty? Or does this grandson have ulterior motives?
Do you think that the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture did not dare to speak out about this matter in the court? Or did you do this just so that someone could talk about it in the court?
Things that should have been handled quietly had to be made a storm!
Look at dad's face... Sigh, who can feel comfortable in this situation?
Except not all people in the inner garden were women, and they were all his father's women. He probably couldn't tell how many he had favored, let alone who they were.
Every year, there are palace maids who leave the palace to make a living on their own. This... dad is really dumb and eats coptis.
Zhao Xi was thinking, shouldn't he throw them to Kaifeng Mansion? But the panic caused by so many dead people all at once...even the court could not suppress it.
In this way, there should be no problem if there is an explanation at the end, right?
"Tell it like it is!"
Finally, my husband took over, and people understood that this was a court, not a vegetable market.
Well, that's true.
It turns out that someone with good intentions abandoned a group of thieves at the Kaifeng government office the day before yesterday.
When Qian Mingyi asked about the case, he found out that this group of people was almost another East Palace, with many retinues. He said that his biological mother was a servant of the inner garden, had been favored by officials, and was pregnant when she left the palace...
Zhao Xi finally understood it at this time. The story was quite twists and turns.
How dare Qian Mingyi believe such an illogical story?
"Your Majesty, this matter can be postponed for retrial. I have something unclear, so how can such a good person do anything? How can such a good person abandon a group of thieves in the Kaifeng government office?"
I'm convinced! I've seen people who have a sense of presence, but I've never seen such a sensational one... No, Zhao Xi thought about it again...
The matter of the other prince should really be discussed later. This is a morning court, not a memorial, not just a discussion among the princes. This is a morning court in which all officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing participate.
It is really not appropriate to make such a fuss about matters involving palace curtains on such occasions.
"I second the proposal to inform you that Qian Mingyi of the Kaifeng Prefecture has neglected his duties and lost his etiquette, causing chaos in the capital. I sincerely request the imperial court to demote him."
Not everyone in the court wants to see a joke, and there are indeed many upright people.
Therefore, the court discussion became how to deal with the officials who should be responsible in this matter...
The wall fell and everyone pushed back. They didn't know how Qian Mingyi could offend so many officials. For a while, the entire court seemed to have become a special forum to attack Qian Mingyi.
Zhao Xi didn't understand, and felt something was wrong.
Although Kaifeng Prefecture has never had a magistrate for more than two years, no matter how unbearable Qian Mingyi is, he will not be troubled by so many people because of this matter.
It seems that Qian Mingyi's handling of the so-called His Highness was not just a matter of dereliction of duty. It seemed more like he had touched something.
What could it be?
Zhao Xi looked at Qian Mingyi, wanting to see how he would defend himself and refute.
Qian Mingyi just trembled his lips, his face was ashen, and his expression was much more angry than aggrieved.
Zhao Xi really hoped that he would stand up and no matter what he shouted, he would always have something to say.
It's a pity that no, Qian Mingyi never made it to the list, but he just carried it and was sprayed...
It should be a foregone conclusion that Qian Mingyi would be demoted. Not to mention that he did not defend himself at all. Even if he stood up and shouted twice, he could not suppress the excitement of the entire court.
Zhao Xi could understand that the so-called passionate public sentiment was more about making noises, joining in the fun, casually adding a few words to prove his position... and not paying too much attention to the palace curtain.
Han Jiang, who was the first to attack Qian Mingyi, didn't say a word and seemed confused by this scene...
None of the ministers said a word. There was no need to say anything. Let's all start shouting. After all the shouting, the ministers had to report to the officials before they could reach a conclusion.
Qian Mingyi's treatment was not mentioned again during the subsequent meeting with the princes.
After talking a lot, I got to the point and talked about today's morning meeting.
Dad's face has always been ugly, and he listens to everything absent-mindedly. Zhao Xi also feels that it is unnecessary when the husband-in-law talks about other trivial matters. He has never been so verbose...
"Dad, gentlemen, I fell asleep last night and caught a cold..."
"Xi'er, do you need to delay medical treatment?"
Zhao Xijue came out, and his father was probably embarrassed to say these things in front of him.
Sure enough, as soon as I made a poor excuse, my father quickly picked up the answer.
Can you find an imperial doctor? Even if you don't go for relief, you will have to stay in a latrine for a while...
Alas, after so long, I finally have an interesting topic. I also want to know the crisis management ability of the court now... I am definitely not interested in my father's palace curtain.
As a result... I still have to avoid it because of respect for the elders.
In the eyes of everyone's approval, Zhao Xi reluctantly left Wende Hall...
"Xi'er, is there anything wrong with the thief claiming to be Your Highness?"
This...it didn't take a while, but the empress already knew it.
Zhao Xi said hello at three times every day in the morning, noon and evening, and Zhao Xi always followed it. He thought that today's greeting would definitely not call him again, and his father probably didn't want to see him too much today.
Zhao Xi originally wanted to pay his respects to the empress and then return to his East Palace...
"Your Majesty, the thief is deceiving the public with his evil words, and the imperial court will investigate and deal with it."
What else can I say? Zhao Xiwen can only deal with the empress like this.
