Chapter 53 Prince's flaw
At noon, Zichen Hall dragged out a large shadow. When Yuan Xiu stepped into it with blue and green and Yao Shi, he felt cold for no reason. When he arrived at the door of the hall, Yu Anyuan, who got the fast-legged palace people to report, came out with a smile on his face and said, "Is the A family coming?" Unfortunately, several cabinet elders are discussing with everyone in the front hall. The A family will wait in the side hall first. If there is a chance, I will go in and tell the family.
Yuan Xiu nodded with a calm face. Yu Anyuan secretly remembered her face and was extra careful. He led the group to the side hall and served tea. Yu Anyuan then walked to the door of the side hall and waved a little servant to whisper a few words. The waiter nodded and quietly left.
Yu Anyuan returned to Yuanxiu's first waiter. Yuanxiu took a sip of tea, calmed down a little, and casually asked, "Is Wei Xiang here again today?"
"Not only Wei Xiang, Lu Shilang, Cui Shilang and Wang Zhongcheng are also here." Yu Anyuan had already raised his life to look at Yuan Xiu differently. What's more, Yuan Xiu asked not a big deal, so he replied with a smile.
"Oh? But I don't know what you're talking about. How long will it take? Yuan Xiu listened and said thoughtfully, "Why is Wang Zhongcheng here?"
Yu Anyuan said, "When I just went in to serve tea for several elders, I heard that they were talking about spring ploughing. It seems that there is too little rain this year. I'm afraid that the harvest will not be good after autumn, so I came to tell everyone."
Yuan Xiu frowned.
Yu Anyuan looked at her face and said carefully, "As for Wang Zhongcheng... but after the court meeting broke up, everyone opened their mouth to stay, but they followed Wei Xiang and others to find it, and I didn't know why."
Picking blue and picking green looked at each other, and remembered that there was also a prince flaw in the election of Fengchun's son-in-law said by the queen in Penglai Hall that day.
Yuanxiu also thought of this section. Although she estimated that Fengchun's intention should be to set a son-in-law for Dongping first, and Fengchun clearly showed vigilance and disgust for the Wang family when he denounced the people who retired from the palace in the Ganlu Hall that day, how could Yuanxiu be allowed to the Wang family again? However, now I'm afraid that Princess Dongping and herself are looking for a son-in-law inside and outside the palace. In order to prevent misunderstanding, Yuan Xiu stopped talking.
After about a column of incense, Yuan Xiu was waiting for frustration. The little waiter Yu Anyuan had just told him to run back to the door and nodded to Yu Anyuan.
Yu Anyuan, who had to stand beside Yuanxiu's silence and looked embarrassed, immediately smiled: "A family, the elders have finished discussing things, and now they have left. I'm going to report to the family."
"Go ahead."
Before long, the bright yellow robe flashed in at the door of the side hall, but Fengchun came over in person. In addition to the fish hydrocarbons and fish Anyuan who followed him as usual, there was also a person behind him, wearing a crimson round-neck official robe, a silver fish bag, with two wings and a gentle and elegant appearance. It was the prince who served as the imperial historian on the imperial history platform.
Wang Zixia is the younger brother of the Queen's Prince's Day. His father's booth is one of the three princes and the first-class Situ. He was also a capable official at the time of Emperor Xianzong. Emperor Xianzong married Prince's Day as the crown princess for Fengchun because he cherished Wang Zhan's talent and recognized the family tradition of the Wang family in Taiyuan. However, Fengchun has always had little trust in the Wang family because of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian. Wang Zhan became a priest at the age of 40. He was empty and noble and had no real power. He was really depressed, but because of his children, he could only stay in Chang'an and concentrate on pointing out Wang Zixia. Therefore, although this person is only the imperial historian under the fourth grade, he is quite common in political affairs. Land, Fengchun does not use Wang Zhan, and has always been kind to the young prince.
Because Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was of the same clan and had met Wang Zixia several times, Yuanxiu was not unfamiliar with him. Seeing Wang Zixia saluted him after entering the palace, he waved his hand and said, "Twenty-twolang don't have to restrain himself!" Wang Zixia's ranking in the Wang family is exactly the 22nd.
Wang Zixia straightened up with a smile. Fengchun walked to the upper hall and asked, "Look at your anger, but who made you angry?"
"There is a big thing to ask the fifth brother to make the decision." When Yuan Xiu heard the words, he immediately smiled and said righteously.
As soon as Wang Zixia heard that their brother and sister had something to discuss, he quickly said, "Weichen will leave!"
"No, I don't think we need twenty-two-thirds in this matter." Yuan Xiu stopped him. Seeing that Fengchun was already sitting in the upper seat, he said to Yao Shi, "Tell everyone about Jinyang and listen to it!"
Yao Shi nodded and briefly told Yuanxiu about what he had just told. Feng Chun's face became gloomy in an instant!
Without waiting for him to attack, Wang Zixia's face had changed. Without hesitation, he lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down and said, "I am guilty!"
Yuan Xiu was stunned and saw that Fengchun let Wang Zixia kneel on the ground and still looked angry. Only then did he realize that the Wang family came from Taiyuan, isn't it Jinyang's? Thinking of this, Yuanxiu couldn't help but secretly squeezed the corners of his mouth: His adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, was also from the Wang family of Taiyuan... Can you really only see Jinyang's corruption from the account, but no family told her? But if Zhaoxian wants to help Jinyang hide it, why send someone to take his nanny to check the accounts last year?
"In addition to General Manager Qi, who has been martyred by Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, who went to Jinyang to check the accounts, was also your wet nurse Xue Shi? Why didn't you bring her too?" Fengchun asked with a dark face for a long time.
Yuan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "The aunt is still about a hundred miles away from Chang'an. She said that she would not enter the palace until three days, but she sent Yao Shi to report the news first."
"Xue is only 30 years old now. Since he was in his prime, he is good at bowing horses and horses are not weaker than men. How can he walk for three days?" Yuan Xiu was raised in the deep palace and did not know the world. He didn't know how many roads he could drive in a day by riding alone. Yao Shi took the words "aunt is very good" and had no anxiety and confused her. Feng Chun came out with Xianzong's hand. He was not as easy to coax as Yuan Xiu. When he heard the words, he immediately sneered and his eyes were like electricity. He said to Yao Shi, "Say it, is Xue still alive!"
Yuan Xiu was shocked by his question! I unconsciously knelt up and almost jumped up!
Yao Shi fell to the ground trembling and cried: "The aunt is indeed injured by arrows and can't ride a horse. She can only drive slowly to avoid the wound from cracking, so she sent the slave back on a fast horse to report to her family! The aunt was worried about the family, so she repeatedly told me not to reveal the aunt's injury before leaving!"
"Arrow injury?" Yuan Xiu covered his face with his sleeves and said frightenedly, "Where is the injury?"
Yao Shitou lowered more and further: "...I'm hurt in the rest of my heart!"
The three women in the hall all turned pale and took a breath. Yuan Xiu looked at Fengchun angrily: "Five Brother--"
"Qiu Fengxiang!" Fengchun understood what she meant, nodded and gave a brief order.
After a while, Qiu Fengxiang arrived, and Fengchun did not wait for him to salute, so he said, "You quickly led a team out of people out of Tonghua Gate along the direction of Jinyang to find Princess Yuanxiu's wet nurse Xue. Remember, Xue was injured by arrows. After finding it, escort him back to the palace!"
"I obey the order!" Qiu Fengxiang didn't ask much. He simply leaned and walked out of the palace door, only to hear his footsteps leave quickly.
Seeing that Yuanxiu was still restless, Fengchun comforted her and said, "Since Xue sent Yao Shi back to Chang'an first, there must be no danger. What's more, Qiu Fengxiang is fine and his martial arts skills are not weak, and he will definitely bring people back safely!"
"How did the aunt get hurt?" Yuan Xiu settled down and stared at Yao Shi and asked.
Yao Shi did not dare to hide it this time, and all said: "When I followed the aunt and General Manager Qi went to Jinyang, General Manager Qi said that the accounts presented by Jinyang were so different from previous years. If it was really a sudden disaster, it would be okay. If people were afraid that this trip would be dangerous, it would be better to enter in disguise and show up if necessary. In this way, it is also easy to find out the real situation, so as not to be deceived!"
"And then?"
"General Manager Qi is about the same age as his aunt, and the three slaves happened to dress up as a family of three, and the bodyguards followed each other far away. After entering Jinyang, he really found that someone had damaged the reputation of the A family, but at this time, the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was gone, and General Manager Qi wanted to return to Chang'an, and the slave and the old lady were also coming back, but at that time, some clues were just found. Let the slaves continue to stay there to investigate, which is also the last contribution of the A family..." Yao Shi's eyes gradually turned red. "Although many people know that the people who did evil in the name of the A family, there is no evidence. The aunt said that if she went back to Chang'an to tell everyone in this way, she sent imperial history to Pingbai to waste slaves in Jinyang. Time may not be exposed in this and out, but they are ready! Therefore, the aunt took a desperate bet and took an opportunity to sneak into one of them's study to search. Fortunately, she found the account book in the dark. However, when she came out, she was shot an arrow by the guardhouse bought by the man. Fortunately, the aunt hid at the critical moment, and escaped from Jinyang with the slave's effort, and did not chase it until she crossed the Yellow River. Soldier!"
Yuan Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Five brother, none of these people can let go! If there is anything wrong with the aunt, I will definitely ask them to pay for their lives one by one!"
Fengchun has not answered yet, and Wang Zixia, who has been kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, frowned and said with a serious face: "Xue has served your lord for many years and worked hard for your affairs. He does not hesitate to be involved in danger. In fact, he is a righteous man, and it is common sense that your lord has mercy on the nursing mother, but there are national laws and family rules. Your lord's fiefcompetration is not entrusted by people. Although it is hateful, Meng Tang Lvzhong has his own punishment for such acts. Please don't make the law a piece of paper with selfishness!"
With that, Wang Zixia held Xianghu high and asked Fengchun to promise not to be influenced by Yuan Xiu.
Yuanxiu is proud of his personality, and now he is angry for Xue's sake. Being blocked by Wang Zixia, he feels that there is nowhere to vent his anger. He simply got up from the low couch on his knees and stamped his feet angrily: "I'm going to kill them!"
"D. Lantai is in charge of correcting the crimes of all officials with the Criminal Code, and Zhongcheng is the other." Wang Zixia said calmly, "Although your lord is not among the officials, the prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people. What's more, as a member of the royal family, you should lead by example. Please put the national law first and don't be confused by personal grievances!"
Fengchun's face sinks like water.
