They all belong to a circle of literati, and they all save face to some extent. Even though Qian Mingyi was like this, the court still didn't directly issue a demotion edict, and still waited for him to invite himself out.
This is the custom, and it requires such an experience, so no one talks about it anymore, and there is not even a memorial to continue to hold on to it.
During the hearing the next day, Zhao Xi heard that the court ordered Zhao Gai and Bao Zheng to investigate the case thoroughly...
These two people are not the Criminal Division... The Criminal Division cannot handle this kind of case. These two people are Yu Shi Zhongcheng, which should be self-evident. This is equivalent to the intervention of future generations in the discipline, and Qian Mingyi must also
Know what to do.
Qian Mingyi was very straightforward. After the court announced the edict to review the case, he directly submitted the memorial of self-invitation.
Without a word of self-defense, he simply admitted that he was mediocre and did not have the ability to manage the capital. He left it to the court to decide. It would be best to send him to a remote area, as far away from the court as possible.
Of course, the memorial is not that ordinary. It consists of four to six characters, and the rhyme is quite catchy. There are a lot of eloquent words... It is clearly to let the court see his literary talent.
I couldn't tell from the text that he had any complaints, but Zhao Xi still understood that there should be a story behind it.
What kind of story should this be?
Ruzhou was not far away, and the man who was under guard, Leng Qing, who claimed to be the prince, was quickly brought back.
Then Zhao Xi also knew it, and the entire court knew it. This was not the first time that he came to Kaifeng and called himself His Highness.
It happened once a few years ago, but no one noticed it, and I couldn't survive anymore, so I went back to my hometown.
This time... I really made a big fortune.
"In the official family, in the early years of the rebellion in the inner garden, did you ever expel a palace maid?"
Even Zhao Xi remembers this. He still remembers that it was Mr. Zhang who interceded for him in front of his mother-in-law and got the amnesty from his father.
Is it related to her? Zhao Xi seems to remember that Mr. Zhang said that his father had never favored the palace maid, but during the trial, he exposed her affair with the guards. Therefore, in line with the principle of treating others with leniency, his father treated others with leniency.
He raised his hand and let him go.
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, seeming to be recalling.
"It's true."
"Official family, this matter is just a search for a relative, and the one who should be called His Royal Highness is a 178-year-old child..."
Another one appeared? This... Zhao Xi looked at his father, who was also stunned, and all the husbands were also stunned.
Zhao Xi considered whether he would have to go to the manhole to relieve himself again?
"Thorough investigation!"
It was the first time I saw my father being so straightforward, and it was the first time I made a decision without any hesitation.
Maybe I'm really annoyed.
The husband-in-laws have left, and if they don’t do anything right, Zhao Xi and his father will be left alone...
Zhao Xi didn't know how to persuade him, because his father must be very unhappy at this time... maybe not necessarily, after all, having one son and having two sons are very different for his father.
Therefore, there are some things that Zhao Xi cannot say.
"Xi'er, please go back to the palace."
At this moment, the moment his father said these words, Zhao Xi suddenly felt a little chilled.
Must an emperor be like this?
Maybe the father is just upset, maybe he doesn't want to face his son in such a state, or maybe the father really has other ideas.
At this moment, Zhao Xi's mind was spinning a thousand times, thinking about many possibilities.
My power is still not strong enough...Why would I think like this? Zhao Xi was startled by the sudden thought.
Why do you feel that your power is not strong enough? Is it possible... At that moment, Zhao Xi stopped it himself. This kind of thought must not breed, not even a flash of thought can exist...
"Xi'er, why are you in such a mood today?"
He had tried very hard to calm down, but the empress who knew him best could still see Zhao Xi's different past.
"Mom, my son and father feel the same way. They are both troubled by the thieves' deception."
This is the best explanation. I don’t ask the empress to change her words, I just want to secretly warn myself that this is what I should be like.
A few years ago, I was still young. In the past two years, it seems that my body has gradually adapted to my original self. My dependence on my father and mother seems to have diminished, and I have some thoughts... Well, it shouldn't be.
"Why exactly? The court ordered Bao Zheng and Zhao Gai to investigate thoroughly. Could something happen again?"
"Your Majesty, today Bao Zheng is reporting on the progress. This confused person is not the person involved, but is looking for a relative on his behalf. The real person involved is a 178-year-old child, a palace maid who was expelled by my aunt in the early years when she begged your Majesty to raise her hand."
While the empress was in a daze, Zhao Xi finished paying her respects and returned to the East Palace in a state of despair.
It turns out that Neiyuan is a sieve. In the past ten years, Zhao Xi has spent a lot of money to basically silence Neiyuan. But the court is still a sieve. Zhao Xi just returned to the East Palace and seemed to be in a daze of frustration...
Li Xian didn't follow His Highness earlier than Wang Zhongzheng, but today it was Wang Zhongzheng's turn to go to the guard camp for training. He could only look at His Highness in a daze.
"Your Highness..."
Wang Zhongzheng was back, but Zhao Xi didn't notice.
When it comes to being depressed, everyone in the world believes it, even Zhao Xi himself doesn't believe it. He just thinks that he should have this kind of emotion, or there may be some unexpected gains.
For example, Wang Zhongzheng is back.
"Your Highness, Professor Lu has discussed with the capital envoy to send a small team to the traitor's hometown to work. It will be led by the nephew of the Cao family."
The so-called doing things is to let Zhao Xi decide whether to kill or bury him, just in his words. Well, the loyalty of the escort team has made it possible.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Highness is summoned to have a meal at Ciming Palace."
Before Zhao Xi could organize the boundaries of the escort team's participation in this matter, an internal servant came to deliver the message.
Zhao Xi still looked like that, as if he was more depressed and lonely. It made Empress Cao feel distressed to see her...
"Xi'er, my uncle's family has said that you don't have to worry about something, you can make your own judgment."
This...Zhao Xi understood it and knew that he was successful and the bet was right.
But he looked at the Queen with a grateful expression.
Everything is left unsaid.
"Xi'er, your father has sent someone to tell my mother-in-law about the reason for questioning Zhang, and asked her to let you know."
This should be true. Zhao Xi still knew about his father. The feeling at that moment was something he later figured out.
It should have been a direct manifestation of my father being upset at that time, rather than really having other thoughts.
Dad has always been like this. Maybe he was reminded by others, or maybe he thought about it on his own. He even sent someone to tell my mother where to go tonight tactfully for this reason...
Your surroundings should be solid.
"Zhongzheng, inform the escort camp that they can send people there, but they must not come into contact with the messengers sent by the court, let alone reveal their identity."
"The purpose of the mission is to find out the facts, and we must not harm people's lives or complicate the incident. During the investigation, all witness evidence related to the matter will be handed over to the police sent by the court without leaving any trace."
Zhao Xi knew that his father had no son, except for his own accident. Unless his arrival caused a series of changes... because the expulsion of the palace maids happened after his arrival.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xi is really a little unsteady.
