The Grand Princess - Chapter 150
On the first day of October, Li Rong got up early in the morning. After dressing up carefully, she got up and went to the palace.
When she went out, the sky was still gray, and the cold wind ran across Huajing, and hit her face when Li Rong rolled the curtain.
Li Rong raised her head and looked at the towering palace gate. Her eyes stayed on the high roof for a moment, and then she heard Jinglan whisper next to her: “Your Highness, it’s time to enter the palace.”
Li Rong retracted her gaze, smiled lightly, put her hand on Jinglan’s hand, stepped on the bench and got out of the carriage.
When she walked to the hall, the early morning will begin, and Concubine Rou’s people have already participated in the performance and asked to confirm the specific period of this year’s Wen Zhan.
In order to comply with the weather, Daxia only executed prisoners in the winter. Li Rong killed so many people in a row last year and settled all disputes in the winter. But now Rou Fei has put people off, exiled into exile, and demoted official, but has not killed anyone, and all have to be postponed to winter.
Now that October has just arrived, the people of Concubine Roux do not eagerly ask for a specific execution time. Everyone understands that Concubine Rou is not killing, but warning.
“Qin Tianjian is used to measure the time,” Shangguan Xu was not used to the domineering concubine, so he directly shouted and scolded the participating officials, “When do you need to discuss with the court? You have been in court for many years. , Are you so unruly?”
After all, Shangguan Xu is a leftist. He opened his mouth, and the officials below naturally did not dare to make a sound. Seeing this scene, Rou Fei glared at the official who was kneeling on the ground, and laughed: “My Lord Shangguan is wrong, after all. Today is different from the past. There are a large number of people handled this year. If you are not sure about a specific time, I am afraid that it will be delayed until the end,” Rou Fei sneered, “Who knows if the execution can be carried out?”
Concubine Rou was alluding to the family’s secretly operating behind the scenes to save people. Yushi doctor Shangguan Minzhi said coldly, “Why can’t you execute torture? What is the difference between today and the past? The court has always been the court, and your majesty has always been your majesty, but now it’s different. Yes, it’s just that the harem women are involved in politics, and the Jisi Chen is the chaos of the Chao Gang.”
“Shangguan Minzhi,” As soon as she heard this, Rou Fei immediately shouted, “What do you mean?!”
Shangguan Minzhi glanced over it coldly: “Niang Niang, the minister is just doing his responsibilities as an official.”
“You say I’m Sichen the chicken?”
Concubine Rou was so angry that Shangguan Min laughed: “Then why didn’t you say that Princess Pingle was in the court? But it’s because she is the princess of your Shangguan family!”
“The princess is a royal princess,” Shangguan Minzhi did not squint. “There is no princess in Shangguan’s family. Please also understand that the difference between the royal family and the family can’t be overcome by ignorance.”
Concubine Rou subconsciously wanted to reply, but when she saw the officials of Yushitai behind Shangguan Minzhi, she was held back for a while.
Why can’t she think about going to argue with the people in Yushitai?
This group of people have been fighting in the court for decades, and it is not a good thing to come out at random. In the past, Shangguan Minzhi also scolded the Yushi doctor all the way. In recent years, his self-held identity rarely speaks, but it does not mean that his mouth is wrong. With fangs.
Concubine Rou endured forbearance, she laughed, and calmed down her voice: “Master Shangguan can only pick up these words and make a fuss. The same is a woman, and I can’t do it as the supervisor and director of His Highness Pingle? ”
“Sister A at least hasn’t made so many unjust, false and wrong cases.” Li Chuan’s voice was very low, “Why don’t the concubine concubine Rou contemplate introspectively because the subjects are not satisfied?”
“She and you are angry, you naturally won’t say bad things about them,” Rou Fei said in a cold tone, “His Royal Highness said that I have done wrongful cases, but there is evidence? If not, then you…”
“I have got!”
Before Concubine Rou’s words were finished, a clear female voice came from the door. Pei Wenxuan turned his head for the first time, and looked at the front of the hall. A woman came back against the light and stepped into the hall.
Li Ming frowned and saw Li Rong walking into the hall holding a scroll.
Everyone stared at her, she walked forward from the crowd, then calmly stopped in front of Li Ming, bowed a big gift, respectfully said: “My son has seen my father, long live my father, long live my father.”
“What are you doing?”
Li Ming spoke subconsciously, but as soon as the voice fell, he knew that he was asking the wrong question.
No matter why Li Rong came, now appearing in the hall, she has been out of his control.
He shouldn’t let her appear here, so he immediately said: “Uncalled, you…”
“Erchen, for himself, for the courtiers, and for the poor students in this world, has come to ask for justice from the current supervisor and concubine Xiao Rou!”
Before Li Ming finished speaking, Li Rong suddenly raised her voice. She spoke sonorously and soundly every word.
As he said, Li Rong raised the scroll in his hand: “Please, Your Majesty will be the master for me.”
Looking at Li Rong, Concubine Rou was a little panicked, but she didn’t show up on her face. She pretended to be calm and stared at Li Rong.
When Li Rong robbed her, Li Ming couldn’t say what he told her. Li Ming looked at Li Rong coldly. After a long time, he called out and reminded: “Pingle, you should rest in the house now.”
“Emperor Father,” Li Rong said calmly when facing Li Ming’s almost warning reminder, “I invite the emperor to tell the person to enter the hall.”
“You know that I am your father, dare you teach me how to do things?”
“Your Majesty,” Shangguan Xu said calmly, “Since your Royal Highness is suing Concubine Rou, your Majesty, as Mingjun, should first care about this unjust case.”
“Your Majesty, please announce the people involved in the case of Concubine Roux and wait to enter the hall.”
Most of the courtiers spoke in unison. Li Ming stared at the courtiers who forced him. He squeezed his fist, and finally only replied: “Xuan.”
After speaking, the relevant officials of the Shangguan clan who were imprisoned by the Concubine Roux entered the hall one by one, and at the same time some of the inspectors came in with Shangguanya.
After they were settled one by one, Concubine Rou laughed: “These are the people who have been convicted?”
As she said, Concubine Rou’s eyes slowly swept across Shangguan’s people: “Pingle, Shangguan, in order to find a way for her own people, is so courageous to plant and frame selfishness.”
“I think someone set you up?” Li Rong smiled when she heard this. “So,” Li Rong moved away and let the person kneeling behind him out, “What about this one?”
After Li Rong’s figure walked away, a young man raised his head. The young man was born square, his eyes fell on Roufei’s face, with a faint indignation.
Concubine Roux looked at the young man, a little at a loss: “This is?”
“Caomin Chen Houzhao,” the young man knelt down on the ground, said in a loud voice, “I was an examinee of Yuzhou Qingcheng last year.”
After hearing Chen Houzhao’s name, Concubine Rou’s expression suddenly changed. After a while, she hurriedly said: “So it was you? I looked for people everywhere in the palace, but you didn’t find anyone. You are here today, but are you under threat?”
Concubine Rou preemptively tried to push Chen Houshao’s words into being coerced by Li Rong.
As soon as Chen Houzhao heard her words, he mocked and laughed: “Manny, what can Caomin be coerced? Even if someone can coerce Caomin here, can you still coerce your cousin Xiao Shunwen to take my Chunwei spot?”
Li Ming’s face changed slightly, and he looked at Concubine Rou, who pretended to be calm: “When the imperial examination case was handled earlier, the palace could not find your trace. If you are injustice, why don’t you file a complaint early? Come today, talk about these unnecessary things?”
“No need?” Chen Houzhao became emotional for a while, “Do you know how I came here for more than 20 years of hard study? Do you know how many clothes my mother washes and embroidered her eyes to help me study? My family hopes It’s all tied to me, Xiao Shunwen, Xiao Pingzhang, this dog thief just stole my identity, my test paper, and my twenty years! How dare you tell me today that it is unnecessary?!”
“Master Chen, you don’t have to get excited first,” Roufei said, seeing Chen Huzhao’s anger and hard to contain herself, so she pacified, “I just want to confirm the facts, you don’t have to worry about it. If you really have injustice, why should you make such a big noise? You just need to speak bluntly, this palace will never favor favoritism, and you must give you justice!”
“Justice?” Chen Houzhao sneered. “The justice you want to give me is to let people search for my news and kill me. I hope I won’t survive for the rest of my life, so that this case will never float?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“Do you not know what you have done?! You lied that I died in Huajing, and threatened my mother with my brother’s future, telling my mother not to come to Huajing to continue to investigate my case. You promised my brother to recommend it as The letter from the other staff is still here,” Chen Houzhao pulled out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve, “Do you want to quibble?”
“I see.” When Rou Fei heard this, she turned her head and looked at Li Ming anxiously, “Your Majesty, they want to frame me. Today their evidence is forged and they are all deliberately murdering me! Chen Huzhao is in peace. Le where he filed a complaint and disappeared. If I want to harm him, why should I trace his whereabouts and start a dispute?”
“Your Majesty,” Pei Wenxuan said slowly. Everyone looked at him, just as Pei Wenxuan stepped out from the group of officials, and said respectfully, “Weichen thought that Concubine Rou was wronged.”
Hearing Pei Wenxuan speaking for her, Concubine Roux immediately looked at Pei Wenxuan hopefully, and Pei Wenxuan analyzed and said: “His Royal Highness Su has been assisted by Concubine Roux for hundreds of students since his successor inspector investigated the imperial examination case. If you ask for justice, enforce the law impartially, and be praised by the world, how can you bend the law for personal gain and protect your blood relatives? Weichen believes that this case still needs more scrutiny, and that innocent people should not be wronged.”
“Yes,” Concubine Rou followed Pei Wenxuan’s words, looked at Li Ming, and said seriously, “Your Majesty, how much effort did your concubines spend on the imperial examination case? How could you betray your Majesty’s trust in order to protect several distant blood relatives?”
Li Ming didn’t speak, he raised his eyes to Li Rong.
Li Rong knelt on the ground. Although she was on her knees, her whole body stood upright, looking at him with clear eyes, without the slightest humility that a person kneeling on the ground should have.
“Then Erchen is going to let Empress see the third group of complainants.”
Li Rong said, putting the scroll on the ground, she raised her hand to let the scroll roll aside, and the long scrolls spread out, revealing familiar and unfamiliar names.
“The third group of complainants were the victims of the imperial examination case investigated by the concubine Rou concubine. Concubine Rou concubine said that she took pains to deal with this case impartially. Then I want to ask Concubine Rou concubine, since you enforce the law impartially “The scroll finally stopped, paved half the length of the hallway, Li Rong raised her eyes to Concubine Rou, “Then why are you threatening to take the Chunwei exam and persuade these students to give up the complaint?”
“Let the replacements go unpunished, just give them the Chunwei quotas that these students should have given them,” Li Rong smiled with a bit of sarcasm, “Is this what the empress said, uphold, fairness, law enforcement?”
Concubine Rou was speechless for a while, she looked at the name on the scroll in shock, Li Ming stared at the name on the scroll, and clenched his fist.
Li Rong looked at the two people in the hall, and slowly bowed her heads: “Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is corrupted, accepted bribes, practiced favoritism, deliberately murdered, and framed Zhongliang. Please also take Concubine Rou into a thorough investigation and ask for crimes according to the law!”
