Chapter 867

What a good thing that makes me so good!

On the one hand, he didn't want to slap himself in the mouth, and the edict he had just issued would be withdrawn by himself in a few days; On the other hand, he doesn't think that this Li Shishi is a public heart, for the sake of the crown prince, he must have selfish intentions, so he works so hard to be this up-and-coming bird, but he can't figure out why this Li Shishi did this for the time being?

Moreover, he and Ming Zhongxin are people who are not related to each other at all, how can there be such a big hatred value? This is something he can't figure out anyway! Don't? Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, but then he swept it out of his mind, after all, that idea was too mysterious, and it was simply irresponsible to others!

After waving the thought in his mind, Hongzhi looked at Li Shishi and said in a deep voice, "Li Aiqing, do you have real evidence?" ”

Li Shishi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized in his heart, Your Majesty is here to protect Ming Zhongxin!

However, how could he let Hongzhi get his wish, since he raised this matter in the court today, then he would inevitably offend Ming Zhongxin to death, as for Hongzhi, although he will also be offended, but according to His Majesty's generous temperament, he will never punish himself for this matter. Then, you must do it to the end, otherwise, you will give up halfway and win people's jokes.

Besides, he came prepared, how could His Majesty expose this matter in a few words!

Li Shishi bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, we don't have any physical evidence, but Wechen has already visited some nearby residents who were at the scene that day, asked them to describe the events of that day in detail, and asked them to draw a testimony of the day!" ”

As he spoke, Li Shishi took out a handful of paper from his sleeve and bowed down to offer it.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, obviously, this Li Shishi was indeed prepared, and he did such a solid job, this is the rhythm of fighting with Ming Zhongxin!

The little eunuch stepped forward and presented the paper in Li Shishi's hand to Hongzhi.

Hongji looked at the paper in his hand with a heavy face, flipping through the pages one by one.

However, I saw that the name of the person who testified was written on the paper, and the family was written one by one, and it was obvious that this work was very solid.

Li Shishi stood in the middle of the main hall gracefully, looking at Hongji on the dragon riding calmly without squinting.

After a while, Hongzhi handed the paper in his hand to the little eunuch next to him, and raised his eyes to look at Li Shishi, "Did you go to verify it in person?" ”

"Not really!" Li Shishi said truthfully, "These are actually some family members sent by Weichen to verify, and of course, the identity of Weichen was also revealed!" Fortunately, all this is true, and the people did not resist too much. ”

Having said that, Li Shishi actually broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he naturally realized the cold in Hongzhi's words, however, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to turn back, it is better to go all the way to the dark, not to mention, he still has a plan in his heart, and he must not give up halfway!

Thinking of this, his eyes became a little more determined.

Hongzhi stared at Li Shishi tightly, "Li Aiqing is really painstaking!" ”

When he said this, Li Shishi was in a cold sweat, and the ministers next to him also knew that this was a counterword, His Majesty was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Shishi, but he couldn't find out the shortcomings, so he could only vent such a threat.

"Your Majesty!" Li Shishi fell to his knees with a puff, "Weichen is also thinking about the society, so he took such pains to find out whether the matter is true or not, after all, the prince is the prince, if the prince is at a loss in reading private morality and makes a bad example for the prince, in that case, it will cause instability in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The ministers' faces also changed slightly, Your Majesty's words are heart-wrenching! A person who painstakingly reads for the prince's companion, and his heart is really a little taboo!

"Your Majesty, Li Yushi is sincerely thinking about the society! I hope that Your Majesty will be sympathetic to his good intentions and forgive him for exceeding his authority! "That Jingshi Yushi bowed down to Li Shishi to excuse himself.

Of course, he also broke out in a cold sweat, after all, no one could bear His Majesty's thunderous anger, but he got a hint from Xie Ge Lao, so he could only come forward to excuse him, but he was really scared in his heart, and he said this with trembling legs.

After all, if Li Shishi is confirmed to have improper intentions, then his proposal will inevitably be rejected, and at that time, Ming Zhongxin will still be unharmed, didn't we do useless work before! Although this is not a crime, it can also force His Majesty to take back the responsibility of granting the Prince of Ming Zhongxin to read it, and strive for our interests.

Therefore, Xie Ge hinted to himself that he would try his best to protect Li Shishi.

"Your Majesty, what Li Yushi said is true, even if he is a little overstepping his authority, he can be regarded as loyal to the country and dedicated to the public! Please forgive your majesty! Another minister came forward to give an announcement.

As soon as this topic was opened, several ministers stepped forward to echo it.

At this moment, Hongji's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked around at the courtiers without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the prince's companionship involves the prince, please think twice, it is better to send Dongchang Jinyi Wei again to confirm, and then make a decision!" At this moment, a person left the court class and bowed down to play.

When Hongji heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at the person who started playing.

But it's none other than Li Dongyang and Li Ge Lao!

It's him! Xie Qian's brows furrowed, and he looked at Li Dongyang in confusion. He heard that although Li Dongyang had an old relationship with Ming Zhongxin before, it was not very pleasant because of the incident at Zhangjiawan Wharf, and even now Ming Zhongxin has no dealings with Li Dongyang, why does he want to maintain Ming Zhongxin like this at this time? Could it be because of the previous life-saving grace?

Li Dongyang and Ming Zhongxin have already been clearly investigated by him, and Li Dongyang has almost returned Ming Zhongxin's kindness these days, he can't stand up for Ming Zhongxin at all! After all, they know these things about Ming Zhongxin's abandonment of his wife and his concubine, and they are all facts!

Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine Li Dongyang was selling for the time being, he couldn't let it succeed, after all, this matter involved his own court layout, and he couldn't let him destroy it!

"Your Majesty!" Before Hongzhi could respond, Xie Qian went into battle shirtless, bowed and shouted.

"Oh!" Hongzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Xie Qian, "What is the matter with Xie Aiqing?" ”

He also thought about exposing Ming Zhongxin's matter through Xie Qian's matter, otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to make a decision!

However, his wishful thinking could not be carried out.

Xie Qian Zhengse said, "Li Yushi is reasonable, it is indeed inappropriate for a person with personal virtue to serve as the prince's companion, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, please think twice, dismiss him first, and then look for a more suitable candidate for the prince's companion!" ”

"Xie Ge is wrong to say this!" Li Dongyang was unhurried and said slowly.

Xie Qian frowned and looked at Li Dongyang, "What does Elder Li Ge mean by this?" ”

"I believe everyone should know that His Majesty has mentioned three times twice before that he wants to include Ming Zhongxin in the East Palace as the prince's companion!" Li Dongyang looked around at the courtiers.

The courtiers of Li Dongyang's family nodded one after another, and even Liu Jian nodded.

After all, His Majesty has mentioned this matter, and everyone has heard of it.

"Then, why did Your Majesty repeatedly want to include Ming Zhongxin in the East Palace?"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Li Dongyang directly revealed the mystery, "Actually, it's not because of that Ming Zhongxin that he has learned people, he is not only proficient in literature at a young age, but also proficient in the affairs of the world and the country, and the achievements he has made have been repeatedly heard of or obvious to all!" ”

This can't be denied, after all, the Ming family's movements in Beijing are too big, and they have made the major forces look sideways, isn't it obvious to all?

"Everyone has seen this, so His Majesty has included it in the East Palace! As for the loss of private morality! Li Dongyang paused, "Actually, although Li Yushi has a conclusive witness, this official feels that this matter is unlikely!" ”

Li Shishi's face was angry, and he waited to refute it, he was also a second-grade official, and he was not afraid of Li Dongyang, the elder, not to mention, there was a Xie Ge elder in front of him who supported him.

Xie Qian glared at him, coughed lightly, and took over the conversation, "Li Ge is so bad!" ”

He's still in color! Li Dongyang teased him like this before, and he also retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.

Li Dongyang smiled and nodded, meaning to say though.

"The witnesses are all conclusive, the facts are not the facts, Li Gelao's words are really ridiculous!" Xie Qian's face was as heavy as ink, looking at Li Dongyang, and said word by word.

The smell of gunpowder in this statement is extremely strong, obviously, he is ready to go into battle shirtless and fight Li Dongyang!

"Elder Xie Ge, please listen to me!" Li Dongyang smiled, didn't wait for Xie Qian's response, and analyzed directly, "I believe everyone knows during this time that Ming Zhongxin is not only a good hand in the world, but also a wise man, let's imagine, such a smart person, would he do such a thing of abandoning his wife and marrying a concubine in public?" Is there something else going on here? ”

Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and he nodded unconsciously, approving Li Dongyang's speculation about Ming Zhongxin's matter.

And some neutral ministers next to him also thought thoughtfully, wondering, is this really something else?

"Or is it someone who is secretly stirring up the trouble?" Li Dongyang glanced at Xie Qiandao meaningfully.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the ministers turned to Xie Qian, and then to Li Shishi.

After all, these two, one is a direct performer, and the other is a side assistant, to say that these two are not connected at all, none of them believe it, after all, the two cooperate tacitly, and there is also a royal history of the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate between them, which is intriguing!

Xie Qian heard Li Dongyang's words, and instantly felt bad in his heart, the first time, his eyes fell on Hongzhi, after all, what he cared about most was actually His Majesty's mind, if His Majesty doubted himself, it would be bad, you know, Ming Zhongxin entered the East Palace to accompany the prince, but His Majesty personally ordered it, if His Majesty mistook him for being a trick in secret, then he would be sad in the future!

At this time, Hongji regained his calm after the previous shock and suspicion, but his eyes contained a different divine light, flickering from time to time, which was terrifying.

Even the old fox Xie Qian couldn't understand Hongzhi's mind at this time, and he didn't dare to defend himself, so he had to bow his head and fall into deep thought.

He knew that as soon as Li Dongyang's words came out, His Majesty's heart must have waves, but no one knew which direction His Majesty's mind would go! Therefore, it is better to keep your mouth shut at this time!

If he is taken to the ditch by Li Dongyang, it will be more than worth the loss! At this time, he regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have jumped out in such a hurry to expose his purpose, he should have watched in secret, and observed His Majesty's intentions, the bad is bad, this Li Shishi provided witnesses, and also made preparations, he thought that even if His Majesty had the intention to favor Ming Zhongxin, but under the conclusive evidence, he would inevitably have some scruples about the criticism of the ministers, at least he would exempt Ming Zhongxin's prince from the responsibility of reading, so as to calm the anger of the public.

Unexpectedly, being led by Li Dongyang in a strange direction made His Majesty suspicious, and this would be more than worth the loss! Xie Qian, who knew His Majesty's temperament, would naturally not hit the muzzle of the gun again, and he knew in his heart that for the sake of today's plan, he could only stop and wait for His Majesty's judgment!

At this time, Li Shishi saw that Xie Qianyan had died down, and then looked at Li Dongyang with a wicked smile on his face, and there was a little drum in his heart, but as the initiator, how could he, as the initiator, retreat?

"Your Majesty, no matter what, that Ming Zhongxin really wants to abandon his wife and marry a concubine in public, and force his fiancΓ©e to do something that violates ethics and reverses the world. Li Shishi gritted his teeth and bowed to the ground.

When Li Dongyang heard this, he smiled, no longer spoke, but stepped aside.

He is also well versed in Hongzhi's temperament, he naturally knows, when it comes to this, his task has been completed, then Li Shishi has conclusive evidence, His Majesty will not make a hasty conclusion today, after all, with his previous bricks and stones, His Majesty must have a little drum in his heart, and he is deeply afraid of falling into the tricks of these old foxes, then, he will not make a judgment at such a sensitive time today, and Ming Zhongxin will be fine at least today!

Naturally, he won't look for trouble anymore and make Hongji unhappy, shut up at this time, and he can still win His Majesty's favor, why not?!

Hearing that Li Shishi was still biting Ming Zhongxin like this, he laughed secretly in his heart, this guy is dying! Don't you see Xie Qian, Xie Ge, the shirtless veteran, who has died down, you are still so obsessed! You deserve to die!

At the same time, Hongji's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Li Shishi and was silent for a long time.

Although Li Shishi was apprehensive, he didn't want to give up, after all, he finally got this opportunity, and he gave up, he was really unwilling! What's more, after today, I will never have a chance to stand on this court in the near future, and I must finish my work today and take down Naming Zhongxin.

"Your Majesty, there are still some information about the Ming family's business here, please take a look!" Li Shishi took out a handful of paper from his sleeve again and presented it with both hands.

At this time, not only Hongzhi was surprised, but even the ministers present, including Xie Qian, were extremely curious, this Li Shishi also caught the weakness of Ming Zhongxin, so why didn't he take it out earlier?

For a while, everyone turned their attention to the handful of papers, what was the content?
