Chapter 964: The banner is clear, and the concubine is crowned
When Wanli heard why this voice was so familiar, he subconsciously looked towards the door, and was stunned.
Several attendants in the hall didn't know Wei Liangchen, and it was strange to see him come in suddenly, and they didn't know who arranged it.
"When did you arrive?"
Wanli's face was obviously slightly softened compared to just now, and he didn't ask Wei Liangchen why he entered the palace without an edict, nor did he ask how he entered the palace.
Obviously, this is the magic of money.
At the beginning, Wanli specially told Wei Liangchen not to enter the palace without authorization, the reason was that he had many things on him, so Wei Liangchen's connection with him was only a secret revelation of the title of the normal channel.
Now, not a word is said.
"The slave maid has just arrived, and I heard that there was something trivial in the palace, so I specially entered the palace to see Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are thinking about Your Majesty all the time outside! God is pitiful, the slave and maid have finally seen Your Majesty..."
Wei Liangchen stepped forward and bowed to Wanli, and when he looked up, his eyes were red, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Just looked at it with such sincerity, looked at...
In the hall, there seems to be a long-suppressed emotion about to burst out.
This is the outpouring of true feelings, this is the devotion of love...
This appearance warmed Wanli's heart, and Wei Liangchen looked at each other, the eyes of both sides converged, the monarch and the minister were so harmonious, so wonderful, so spiritual...
After a while, Wanli retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said very annoyedly: "What a small matter, it is a big thing, it is a heinous big thing!" ”
may have realized that his tone was too heavy and inappropriate for Wei Liangchen, a meritorious person, he paused again, waved his hand, and said to Wei Liangchen: "You just came back, I don't know how powerful this matter is, I don't blame you." ”
"The slave maid has just come back, but this matter has been full of trouble, and the slave maid has heard a lot of rumors... When the slave and maid passed by the outside of the Guozhang Mansion before, they saw that the Jinyi Guard surrounded the Guozhang Mansion. Wei Liangchen felt the need to talk about it, because he thought Wanli must not know.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”
Wanli was stunned, he didn't know about it, and turned his head to look at the waiters.
One of the chamberlains hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, this is the arrangement of the Pavilion Elder." ”
"Oh."
Wanli nodded, his face couldn't tell whether he was dissatisfied with this matter, and slowly sat back on the imperial chair with his support for the imperial table.
Wei Liangchen waited for Wanli to sit down, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that this is not a big deal, and there is no need for the first assistant to make such an arrangement. ”
"It's just that they harm my father and son, and they want to harm the queen mother, why is it not a big deal!" Wanli raised his eyebrows.
Wei Liangchen said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Wang Yuqian is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, how to make friends with Confucian scholars, Wang Sanzhao and other demons, why did you make friends, did you find out?" ”
Wanli said in a muffled voice: "The Criminal Department is under trial, and it will be revealed to be tried." ”
Wei Liangchen suddenly asked, "What if the trial is unclear?" ”
"Huh? …”
Wanli's expression moved slightly.
Wei Liangchen said: "Has Your Majesty ever thought that this matter came too suddenly and too strangely? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty has issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites, and His Royal Highness King Fu will return to the domain this year, and there is no change in this matter, but suddenly a brocade guard hundred households appeared to accuse someone of wanting to harm His Majesty and the East Palace, and also to harm the Queen Mother, and support His Royal Highness King Fu to ascend the throne, doesn't Your Majesty think this matter is too ridiculous?"
Wei Liangchen boldly raised the questions in his heart.
He believed that Wanli would definitely think about it, the reason why he was angry was that the matter was too terrifying, and it was only a day before the incident, and Wanli, who was in a rage, had not calmed down.
At this time, as long as someone points out questions to him, Wanli will definitely re-examine it.
And the questions he pointed out, in fact, at least eight of the ten people outside were very clear, but they would not tell the emperor.
Those big men in the palace also didn't dare to talk to the emperor because of their respective positions, even Jin Zhong couldn't talk about it, because he was a well-known concubine.
So, this is Wei Liangchen's chance.
He believed that Wanli had true love for Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Zheng couldn't be stupid enough to give people a secret decree, so there was no reason why he didn't save his mother-in-law.
You must know that the concubine Niangniang was alive and well until her husband died, and the Zheng family was fine.
So, when will he do if he doesn't contribute?
The Taoist friend in the East Palace is certainly his future help, but at the moment, the noble concubine is the best backer and backstage for his father-in-law Wei.
"Does Your Majesty really think that the noble concubine would instruct someone to do that kind of thing? The demon book case fifteen years ago, the continuation of the demon book case ten years ago, the precedent of the two cases, has Your Majesty forgotten? ”
Wei Liangchen almost said that if you Wanli don't even believe in the concubine, what is the national capital that has been in trouble for more than 20 years, why hide in the palace and call the foreign court to bully.
As a man and as a husband, you are not now allowing the outside court to expand the case and point the finger at your wife, but to protect her and cover her.
As in many times of crisis, always protect the woman you love the most.
Wanli was really confused this day, and what Wei Liangchen said made him wake up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean that there are people with ulterior motives who are separating me and the concubine, and separating me and the East Palace?" ”
"Slaves and maids don't dare to judge, whether the truth is like this or not, must be found out before they can be asserted. But the slave firmly believes that the concubine will never harm His Majesty, let alone the Queen Mother! "Wei Liangchen is categorical and has a clear banner against Concubine Zheng.
When Wanli heard this, his body shook: Yes, how could the concubine harm him!
"I know, I know..."
Wanli even said two "I know", and his heart is also Da'an, as if he has a backbone.
Wei Liangchen took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, so this matter must not be as boiling as the demon book case, so that it will be unfavorable to Your Majesty, to the Imperial Concubine, to the East Palace, and to King Fu." ”
Wanli didn't speak, just listened.
Wei Liangchen noticed that there was something wrong with the gazes of those chamberlains, but he didn't care who these people were, so he only continued: "Just like the first assistant asked the Jinyi guard to surround the Guozhang Mansion, what others don't know must think that it is Your Majesty's intention, so it means that the concubine Niangniang really wants to harm Your Majesty?" If Niangniang knew about this, how would she look at Your Majesty? ”
After Wanli heard this, "Huo" stood up and ordered the inner servants to go to the Guozhang Mansion to pass the decree, telling the Jinyi guards to withdraw, and then asked Wei Liangchen: "You say, what should I do?" ”
"The slave maid thinks that His Majesty should be quiet at this time, and there is no need to open the emperor, if there is an emperor, there will be disturbances inside and outside, causing unnecessary disasters."
Wei Liangchen first needs Wanli to be "quiet", as the emperor and the party, if Wanli is irritable, then things will never develop in a good direction.
"Secondly, the slave maid thought that Wang said that Qianwan could not be tried by the Criminal Department, and that he had to be tried by Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and His Majesty would choose a credible person for secret interrogation. The confession cannot be leaked to the outside world, otherwise the upper will alarm the Queen Mother, and the lower will make the East Palace panic, and the concubine and His Royal Highness King Fu will not feel at ease. ”
After saying his thoughts, when Wei Liangchen saw Wanli again, he found that the other party actually had a smile on his face, and pointed at him happily: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been confused." Well, according to what you said, my father, son, and brother are at ease! ”
Then he thought of something, glanced Wei Liangchen up and down, hesitated, and said: "This matter will be handed over to you, I will give you the will, you go to Dongchang, bring all the criminals to me, give me a good trial, I want to know the truth!" ”
