Go to court at Mao hour.
As soon as Xie Tingzhou stepped into Chengtian Gate, Li Jifeng hurried over.
He lowered his voice and said: "You are on the cusp of the storm now, why did you come to the court? Do you know how big the fuss was yesterday?"
"I know." Xie Tingzhou said, "That's why I'm here."
Li Jifeng originally wanted to persuade him to go back, but he was willing to shoot him.
He stamped his feet and followed Xie Tingzhou to Xuanhui Hall, "Tell me what's going on. The Jiang family's influence in the court is intricate. If someone in the hall makes an attack on you later, I can help you." He's my brother, he can't be bullied by others."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "Jiang Ji robbed my people."
"Did he really steal your mistress?"
Li Jifeng also heard what was going on, but he felt that that was not Xie Tingzhou's style, or that the waiter was so beautiful that even Xie Tingzhou and Jiang Ji couldn't resist.
There were all the officials outside the palace. As soon as the two arrived, a group of them looked over.
"Look." Li Jifeng whispered: "These must be their party members."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and moved forward instead of retreating. He walked to a place three steps away from Jiang Lian and stopped, "Yesterday Mr. Jiang was still rosy. How come he is so haggard after only one day?"
"You don't understand." Li Jifeng took the opportunity to sing a double act, "Children cry for candy, let alone adults."
The implication is that Jiang Lianzhi is putting on airs, deliberately pretending to be like this to gain sympathy.
The minister standing behind Jiang Lianzhi was holding back his anger and was about to complain for Jiang Lianzhi, but Jiang Lianzhi raised his hand to stop him.
"Your Majesty, please don't bully others too much."
"Is it too much to bully others?" Xie Tingzhou and Shi Shiran shook his sleeves, "Then Mr. Jiang, please don't covet talents that are not your own."
Li Jifeng helped, "Yes! Don't covet it!"
Xie Tingzhou was speechless and glanced sideways at him.
Li Jifeng looked confused, "What are you looking at me doing?"
Xie Tingzhou walked away and whispered to Li Jifeng, "No matter how they attack in the palace later, don't speak."
"Why?" Li Jifeng asked.
In Honglu Temple, the whip was fired three times, and all the officials were silent. After "singing" and playing, they entered the temple one by one.
Ge Liangji had just been executed yesterday, so many people probably breathed a sigh of relief.
After the report was made, a minister stood up and said, "I have my own source for this report."
coming!
Xie Tingzhou looked back and saw that it was Zhang Huaixing, the right deputy capital censor.
Emperor Tongxu: "Yes."
Zhang Huaixing saluted and said: "Today I impeached Xie Yun, the prince of Beilin and the commander of the capital, recruited private soldiers, and led the troops to besiege the residence of the chief minister. Jian Shou ignored the law and the country's structure. He always regarded the outline as nothing. I ask your Majesty to handle this strictly."
Xie Tingzhou was calm and composed, and he even smiled lightly when he heard several "I agree with you" from the palace.
"Master Zhang, you said that I recruited private soldiers. Where did this accusation come from?"
Zhang Huaixing said: "Your Majesty, you still dare to quibble. Many people saw those who besieged Jiang Mansion yesterday. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Then have you counted it? How many are there in total?"
Zhang Huaixing said angrily: "There are so many people, how can I count them one by one?"
Xie Tingzhou said: "Since I haven't counted it, how can you think that I have exceeded the regulations?"
Zhang Huaixing said: "According to the law, the prince has thirty-six guards and twenty personal guards. The prince can't be higher than the prince's regulations, right?"
"Of course it can't be compared to the prince." Xie Tingzhou looked at Emperor Tongxu, "When I came to the capital, your majesty authorized me to regulate the vassal and lead three guard camps. It stands to reason that the total yesterday's total was less than one guard camp. Half of that."
Zhang Huaixing: "This..."
Emperor Tongxu nodded, "That is indeed the case."
How could Zhang Huaixing know about the conditions reached privately by Emperor Tongxu and Beilin? He couldn't come to Taiwan for a while.
"Even so, what's the explanation for surrounding the residence of Lord Chief Assistant without permission?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Jiang Lian and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Jiang what's going on."
"How can the Luan Palace allow you to push back and block the west?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled coldly, "When will it be your turn to question this prince again?"
Wan Ruixian, the left deputy capital censor, was just about to go out, but he saw Xie Tingzhou sweeping the crowd quietly, his eyes lingering on him for a moment longer.
He understood instantly, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, he didn't speak for Xie Tingzhou just now. Emperor Tongxu was afraid of Beilin. How would Emperor Tongxu react if he knew that there was someone from Xie Tingzhou in the court?
Now that no one speaks for Xie Tingzhou, Emperor Tongxu feels more at ease, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Master Jiang." Xie Tingzhou didn't even look at Jiang Lianzhi, "Why don't we explain everything clearly in the palace today."
Jiang Lianzhi was forced to step out, "There was a slight friction between the minister and the prince."
Xie Tingzhou said leisurely: "It's not easy to talk about this matter in the palace, but since Mr. Zhang has read my book, I still have to make it clear. I usually hang out in the Qin Tower and Chu Hall, and I don't hide it from you. , there is a beloved waiter."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.
How could such an unworthy thing be mentioned in court? It would be inappropriate to have a brief head.
Xie Tingzhou continued: "It's a coincidence that Lord Lian Jiang, a clean and self-sufficient person, actually fell in love with the same person as me and secretly abducted the person in the house. If it was ordinary, it would be fine, but what about the person you love? I can give it up."
"What nonsense! Just because you are the prince of Beilin, you are falsely accusing the imperial officials."
"Jianshou is talking nonsense! How could Mr. Jiang, a noble man, do such an unruly thing?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at Jiang Lianzhi, "Master Jiang, how are you doing?"
Jiang Lianzhi clenched his fists.
If he makes the first move, Shen Yu will be involved. Is Xie Tingzhou sure that he doesn't dare, or is Shen Yu not that important in Xie Tingzhou's heart at all?
Jiang Lianzhi picked up his robe and knelt down, "It is true that this has happened. I have lost my decency. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
This is the default.
Just now, those who spoke of a noble temperament were speechless.
Zhang Huaixing was sweating profusely. There were some shady things going on in the homes of wealthy families, but he didn't expect Jiang Lianzhi to be such a person.
If he hadn't impeached Xie Tingzhou today, how could he have made the affairs of Jiang Lian's house public to the public.
Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows what my virtues are. I'm used to being a bastard. If I can't even find a servant, then staying here in Shengjing will be boring."
Shengjing is boring, where is the fun?
Isn't it Beilin? How could Emperor Tongxu let the tiger go back to the mountain?
In the final analysis, it was just two sons of aristocratic families who were jealous over a trick, and it was inappropriate to bring it to court.
But it is a fact that Xie Tingzhou surrounded Jiang Mansion yesterday. If he does not give Jiang Mansion an explanation, it will not be justified in front of all the civil and military officials.
In the future, the children of aristocratic families will follow suit. Today you will surround me with your servants, and tomorrow I will surround you with my servants. It will be a mess.
Emperor Tongxu pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed unbecoming of you and me to be jealous over a little boy, so I will fine Xie Yun with a month's suspension."
"One month." Xie Tingzhou sighed.
When Li Jifeng heard this, a month was okay. He had been grounded by the emperor for half a month and would have died.
He took a step forward and said, "Father, it was clearly Minister Jiang who snatched the boat first, why did he only punish one to stop the boat?"
"Shut up." Emperor Tongxu said in a deep voice: "Jiang Ji is now in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is not suspended for the time being. He will be fined three months' salary. Do you have any objections?"
"I accept the decree." "I accept the decree."
Thank you for stopping the boat and Jiang Lianzhi both said in unison.
"But..." Xie Tingzhou protracted, "Your Majesty, I see that there is no one in the backyard of Mr. Jiang, and he is reduced to hanging around the Chu Pavilion like me. It really damages Mr. Jiang's noble and upright image. Mr. Jiang is different from me. He But he is the pillar of the country."
Emperor Tongxu heard what Xie Tingzhou said between the lines.
Jiang Ji has been a weakling for a long time and has not yet gotten married. It is time to put marriage on the agenda.
