Chapter 93 Who is responsible for the ups and downs

When a play was coming to an end, Yijing racked her brains and finally came up with a helpless way. She decided to entrust Du Yuniang to check the whereof of the jade seal first, and then inquire about what happened in Qianrao Pavilion that day, and then make a calculation.

And Liu Niang, who listened to the play with relish, found that the beautiful scenery was nowhere to be found. She looked around and saw that her always cheerful fifth sister was sitting alone on one side sighing, frowned and thinking for a moment, and made an answer to Yichen. She stepped beside Yijing and asked doubtfully, "This play is not popular in the world. The talented and beautiful woman is a little novel. Why does the fifth sister look happy?

"It's really a little unspirited." Yijing said perfunctorily. Seeing Liu Niang's face full of doubts, she quickly changed the topic: "I was distracted for a moment and didn't pay attention to what the play said. Mo Ruliu's sister talked to me once, so that I could go sleepy."

Liu Niang put her doubts and talked about today's play.

It turned out that she was talking about a woman who was born in a farming family. She had a good family, her parents, and her brothers and sisters were in harmony. She was ordered by her parents. In the words of the matchmaker, she was happy with Qiao Lang, who was also a ploughing family. After marriage, the husband and wife should have been happy for the rest of her life. She didn't want to be a disaster. Zhongyingluo's mother's homestead, colluded with Zhixian County, weaved the charges, arrested and imprisoned her family, tortured them to force confessions, made them sign the crime, confiscated their family property, and punished them as official slaves.

She has a strong temperament and is unconvinced and wants to sue the state government. However, his husband's family was deeply afraid of offending the government and getting angry. Instead of helping his in-laws, he forced his son to divorce his wife.

Qiao Lang and his husband and wife are very close to each other. They knelt high and plead for them. Qiao's parents-in-law had no choice but to promise that if they would not do anything again, they could give her a place to live. They couldn't bear to see their parents and brothers wronged. They actually invited themselves down to the hall, begging to the state capital alone, beating the way, beating grievances.

However, the officials protected each other and sued the officials with the people. Instead, they were punished, tortured on a cane and dying.

Many people had to secretly visit the imperial history to save him. When it was found out that there was indeed a grievance, indignation, the book was written and presented to the sky.

Of course, the ending is happy. The emperor loved the people like a son and netted all the corrupt officials. He not only discarded innocent civilians and returned their family property, but also praised the "reme martyrdom filial piety" and built a filial piety archway for him as a commendation.

"Fifth sister, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, both of them are together. This play of the Holy Point seems to have a deep meaning." Seeing others or sighing or gossiping, Liu Niang lowered her voice and said to the scenery.

The two sisters looked at the emperor in a dragon robe at the same time, because they sat back, but they could only see a majestic back.

Who is sung to this play? The two boudoir women know it, not to mention the courtiers who have been floating in the sea of eunuchs for half their lives.

Compared with the delicate expression, the thoughtful clans, and the unmovable Duke of Wei and Jianning, these neutral nobles, and the look of the left and right and the minister of the Ministry of Officials is obviously more solemn.

And several princes, the prince, held a teacup in their hands, and were still with relish; the second prince smiled happily, but his eyes seemed to be a little empty, and obviously did not focus on the stage; the third prince seemed to only pay attention to the gorgeous makeup and his slim figure, and he was also shaking his head, full of interest; The fourth prince's sword eyebrows were slightly locked, looked at the golden phase, and exchanged a meaningful look with the noble concubine from afar; the fifth prince played with a jade spot finger, and his face was expressionless; the sixth prince's eyes frequently swept to the woman's side, and he didn't know which shadow he saw and was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the scenery in a hurry, but noticed that the corners of Yu's lips were slightly curled. Under the brilliant lights, his eyes always looked indifferently, but seemed to have a sharp meaning.

Following his eyes, he saw Jin Xiang frowning, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in the three long vertical lines in his eyebrows.

At this time, the play is over.

A group of actresses dispersed, and another group of actresses appeared on the stage, but it was the song ordered by the Empress Dowager, but when she saw a woman in blue, she stepped on the string sound, shook her jade white water sleeves, and turned her slender waist. It seemed that Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, and her lips opened slightly: "The dream back to the warbler, and the light was flowing everywhere..."

The emperor suddenly ordered Si Fengluan of the teaching workshop next to him: "I haven't heard of that earlier play, but are you waiting for the new editor?"

"It's not a new play by the villain, but a new play in the recent popular area of southern Zhejiang. The villain is just a slight adaptation."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "The play is full of twists and turns, fresh and interesting." He said there was a reward.

At this time, Qin Xiang suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Weichen has also heard this play in the workshop. It is true that it was introduced to the capital from southern Zhejiang. The people are quite talkative and seem to be adapted from the truth."

This made Jin Xiang and the minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs change their faces.

The emperor is meaningful: "Oh?"

"Revelation to the Holy! Weichen thought that today's Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a festive banquet, but the teaching department sang the opera of the people's satire on the government, which was really disrespectful and should be punished for crime. Jin Xiang followed one step forward. Although he was respectful, his words were sonorous and fierce.

He only thought that Qin Xiang was going to use this play to overturn the case and hit himself for the imperial historian who had been killed, so he immediately fought back. As soon as he came up, he would convict Fengluan, a teaching workshop suspected of Qin Xiang's party friend.

Naturally, it scared the area from Jiupin Fengluan.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Jinqing's family, do you think this play is a satire on the government?"

"In the words of the Holy Lord, the royal history of loyalty and direct advice in the play is undoubtedly to imply Liang Chutong, who was executed for his crimes. This person was greedy for bribes. Because he could not ask for bribes in southern Zhejiang, he was accused of defiling loyalty. In fact, the evidence of guilt was conclusive. The Holy Lord gave the crime. He was impartial and straightforward, but at present, there are people who distorted the facts and deceived people with operas. , in fact, it is a crime of great rebellion and disloyalty. Therefore, Weichen thought that he should not only focus on the correctional department, but also thoroughly investigate those who spread distant words and punish them with felony. Jin Rong stood respectfully, but his eyes tilted to the corners of his eyes and glanced at Qin Huaiyu, like a frost sword and snow sword.

Of course, Qin Huaiyu will not let Jin Rongzhong be domineering, just smile: "The words of Jin Xiang are really biased. According to Weichen, although there is also a royal history in this play, it has nothing to do with Liang Chutong."

The emperor raised his eyebrows again.

"The girl in the play was indeed a person. She was originally from Yunying County under the rule of Jiangzhou. At the beginning, she was wronged and declared that she had no way, but she was severely beaten. However, since Zheng Zhizhou took office, he heard of this martyr and investigated the case and returned her justice, so the people wrote such a play. In order to praise the grace of the emperor, the people heard that Zheng Zhizhou was originally a trusted minister of the emperor, and praised him one after another and felt that the emperor's kindness to the people, so they sent such a Qingtian Lord to Jiangzhou. It is deplorable that soon after Zheng Zhizhou took office, he was murdered by others... When the ministers heard this, the people were heartbroken and angry that they wanted to kill thousands of murderers. Ten thousand knives." Qin Huaiyu came one by one and looked at Jin Rong with angrily and smiled faintly.

"Saint, what Qin Xiang said is also a one-sided word..."

"Okay!" The emperor seemed to be impatient: "It's just an opera. Why should the Jin Qing family be alarmed? In my opinion, the words of the Qin Qing family are well-founded. Besides, Liang Chutong, thousands of family's wealth have been copied out. The subjects know it. Who will think that he died unjustly? Liang Chutong did not redress the injustice of the people's daughter. It can be seen that it is just the bow and snake shadow of Jinqing's family.

As soon as this statement came out, although Jin Xiang was unwilling, he had to calm down. He thought that although he did not let Qin Huaiyu hit the wall, at least he did not suffer losses, but he could still be calm.

The emperor suddenly asked again, "Qin Qing's family, I don't know how did the people of Jiangzhou react when they heard that Zheng Nailing was murdered by his wife?"

"In return, the people of Jiangzhou call Mrs. Zheng a model of virtuous women. Although she has not been in Jiangzhou for a long time, she is willing to give and has a good reputation. The people do not believe that Mrs. Zheng is a cruel person."

"Hmm! How can the words of ignorant people be serious? Jin Rong snorted.

"The so-called justice is in the hearts of the people. Jin Xiangyuan is far away from Kyoto, and he doesn't know Zheng's wife's nature. How can he be sure that she is really a vicious woman who murdered her own husband?"

"The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have made a clear decision in this case. Isn't it not as good as a group of ignorant people?"

"Although there is a decision, it may not be a clear judgment. Zheng's wife is dead and there is no proof of her death. It is said that she*, but the killer has no trace, and there is no human evidence and material evidence. How can it be regarded as a clear judgment!"

"You!" Jin Rongzhong's pair of diamond eyes stared roundly, and he couldn't wait to turn Qin Huaiyu into ashes.

Qin Huaiyu ignored him and only bowed again: "Your superior, Zheng Nailing has a high prestige in the minds of the people of Jiangzhou. Now his death is unknown, so that there are many discussions. Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, the emperor should appoint a royal historian to Jiangzhou to thoroughly investigate the case."

"Qin Xiang means that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are perfunctory?"

"Prince, what's your opinion?" The emperor interrupted the dispute between the two phases in time, and suddenly asked the prince on one side, some unknown reasons.

The dispute between the two phases naturally attracted a lot of attention. Most of the women's wives are still far apart and can't hear the details of the dispute. Some are full of curiosity and some look cautious. However, the Empress Dowager, the Queen and the Crown Princess listened to this matter clearly and carefully because they are not far from the seat of the emperor.

The queen and the princess were in awe-hearted at that time.

Today's incident is absolutely not a coincidence. It seems that the emperor was really angry because of Zheng Naining's death and wanted to clean up the gold.

The holy meaning seems to be to hand this matter over to the prince...

If the prince can find out the cause of Zheng Nailing's death, it will undoubtedly comfort Long Xin and further strengthen the position of the crown prince.

The queen and the princess held their breath and stared at the prince with expectation.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness had not turned the corner. He just wanted not to offend the prime minister of a country for the sake of a district. He hesitated and said, "Father, I think that since Dali Temple..."

This is really the rhythm of falling off the chain.

The crown princess didn't even hide the heavy disappointment on her face.

At this time, the Empress Dowager said in time: "Your Honor, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a reunion festival, and I am very interested in mourning my family. I still want to listen to more twists. If you want to discuss political affairs, it's better to avoid us women and children."

So, a dispute came to an end. The emperor led his courtiers and did not look for him to discuss matters, and in front of Miaoyin Pavilion, the original joy and harmony were restored.
