Chapter 262: Aggressive
This Chu Guiren doesn't know whether she is alive or dead now, but no matter whether she is dead or not, Xiao Zheng can't let her leave the palace.
Once he leaves, the emperor will sit down on the "crime" of the son and the mother, and if these prime ministers add more oil and vinegar, maybe the injury of Chu Guiren can be pushed on the head of Yuan Zhao Tianzi.
Yuan Zhao's mother family is not strong, in addition to the Xie family in the capital is the son of heaven's sworn friend, although the other forces are also close to the son of heaven, but they cannot be regarded as diehards, once this kind of thing is exposed, I am afraid that every family in Yongle Fang needs to reconsider the people on the throne.
At least eighty percent of the powerful people in the capital live in Yongle Fang.
The forbidden army, Jin Wuwei, Jingzhao Mansion and the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses, as well as all the yamen in the capital, all have to rethink which side they want to stand on.
The first emperor has more than such a son, the concubine of the seed family, and the concubine of the Ye family all have princes under their knees, and behind these two families are hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
After all, this time it is a matter of morality.
If you publicly support Yuan Zhao Tianzi, you will be pointed at your nose and scolded, "Do you want to be a beast that messes with your mother?" Those who read are going to go underground.
Therefore, no matter what, the influence of this matter must stop in the palace, and it is impossible for Xiao Zheng to watch these people take Chu Guiren out.
He took a deep breath and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the inner court does not interfere in the government affairs, and the foreign ministers are not allowed to interfere in the forbidden palace, this is a rule since ancient times. ”
"Within three days, this matter will be investigated clearly, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Originally, it should have been handed over to Grandpa Xiao to investigate."
Shen Kuan glanced at the Chu nobleman lying on the ground, and snorted: "But Grandpa Xiao is going to kill this woman in front of us, I'm afraid it's not the attitude of investigating the case, I'll wait for you to leave, Grandpa Xiao won't eat her alive?" ”
Xiao Zheng glanced up at Shen Kuan.
"Shen Xiang, the sin committed by this woman, I'm afraid it won't stop at her alone, if our family really finds out something, it's not good for anyone, according to our family's opinion, this matter is over, the princes have not been here, and they haven't seen it, just think that a palace maid died in the palace, and nothing happened."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and said, "The princes have been up and down in officialdom for decades, and since then they are as innocent as water, how about it?" ”
This is to negotiate business with several prime ministers.
This matter was a big matter, and the evidence of the crime monitored by Tianmu was also written off, and everyone took a step back and settled together.
It's a tempting proposition.
Xiao Zheng glanced back at the Son of Heaven and bent down deeply: "Your Majesty ......"
Yuan Zhaotianzi's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth.
As the master of the people, how can he not be angry when he is framed by these people like children? But at this time, even if he was angry again, it was not good to really turn his face with a few prime ministers, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you." ”
If this matter is just an ordinary court dispute, Yuan Zhao Tianzi is not the emperor, but just a minister in the court, and everyone is evenly matched and each takes a step back, this matter may end here.
But yes, he's the emperor.
Several Zaifu glanced at each other, and they all bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the heavens are watching, the ancestors and ancestors are watching, this matter must be investigated clearly, and everyone must be innocent, and it must not be stopped, otherwise in the next hundred years, future generations will also use this to slander Your Majesty, and the legacy will be endless!"
Several Zaifu spoke in unison, obviously unwilling to stop.
Of course they don't want to stop, their opponent is the emperor, as long as this matter is done, there is no turning back!
Even if a compromise is reached today, after the emperor takes power in the future, they will still be liquidated one by one, and they may die even worse at that time.
Only at this time, with one blow, can there be a way out.
In fact, they would not have come to this point, if Yuan Zhao Tianzi had not shown such a strong position, and honestly waited for the pro-government after the time was up, they would not have taken such a risk, but this fourteen-year-old young man would have to start to do something to them, and there was also a Marquis of Jing'an in the south, staring at the court with a dead eye, and his life could not be taken care of, so these people would risk their lives and do this kind of thing similar to "forcing the palace".
Yuan Zhao Tianzi was furious.
He slapped his table and shouted angrily: "Then go and investigate, find out this matter clearly, clearly, find out the culprit, no matter who it is, I will definitely destroy the three clans!" ”
This is the weakness of young people, who are often prone to enthusiasm and disregard the consequences.
What Yuan Zhao Tianzi thought in his heart was that he didn't do it anyway, no matter how he investigated, there would be no problem, but once this kind of royal scandal was publicized, no matter what the final result was, it would have a huge impact on the emperor's reputation.
Because no matter how it is dealt with in the end, the common people will think in a bad direction, even if it is found out in the end that this matter has nothing to do with the emperor, it was several ministers who designed to frame the Son of Heaven and pulled these prime ministers out and cut them down, and the people will feel that it is the emperor's privilege and forcibly wronged the loyal ministers.
And this kind of peachy news is the most talked about thing by the people, once it spreads, it will soon spread all over the world, and even derive I don't know how many versions.
In the end, there may be a heartfelt love story between the little emperor and the Chu nobles.
Therefore, Xiao Zhengcai strongly opposed the expansion of this matter.
Xiao Zheng fell to the ground all of a sudden, kowtowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, think twice, this matter should not be publicized, it must be controlled within the palace walls, and spreading it will greatly damage Your Majesty's reputation......"
"Besides, it shouldn't be a big deal at this time, a palace maid in the harem has no intention of breaking into the Weiyang Palace, and later the slaves and maids will rectify the inner court, and take out some of the beasts in the inner court and hand them over to Your Majesty for punishment."
As he spoke, he glanced back at the few Zaifu.
"As for the ministers, don't ask about the affairs of the inner court, this woman will never be a noble person from Chu, and in a few days, the slave and maid will send the matter to Shangshutai to a few ministers."
Yan Shouzhuo frowned slightly: "To check for Gonggong Xiao, it's nothing more than killing and injuring some people, in the end, everything will become blurred, nothing can be found, if you want to know if this woman is a Chu noble, it's also very simple, Shen Xiang and I personally followed Xiao Gonggong to go to Chu Guiren's palace to ask, and the matter will be clear." ”
Xiao Zheng's face was covered with frost.
"The foreign minister wants to enter the harem, don't you think that the steel knife of the internal guard is unfavorable?"
Shen Kuan snorted: "Then ask Gonggong Xiao to bring the people in the Chu Guiren Palace to the Weiyang Palace and recognize them in person." ”
Xiao Zheng nodded briskly: "Our family will send someone to Yuxiu Palace and invite someone over." ”
Shen Kuan snorted sullenly: "Grandpa Xiao sent someone to go, and the people brought back are afraid that they will only speak according to Grandpa Xiao's intentions, and I will go with Grandpa Xiao, just wait outside Yuxiu Palace, and don't go in." ”
