The same dynasty is an official, and the clean and turbid are opposed. Du Lingchun was really fed up with Yan Fuyi's party. His biggest pleasure in going to court every day was to find the other party unhappy, but who ever thought of the accident of Gongsun Zhuoyu.
This little bastard...
Du Lingchun stared at Gongsun Zhuoyu's back, squinted his eyes, and tickled his teeth with hatred. He pleaded so vigorously that people who didn't know thought he was a member of Yan Fu's party, and they didn't know where to help.
The official who jumped out to refute was stunned by Du Lingchun. He didn't know what he had done wrong, and the second monk was puzzled. Trembling, the belly draft that was originally filled with belly was suddenly useless.
Gongsun Zhuoyu stood at the front, not noticing the surging tide behind him, handed over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although Mo Jingxian is a loyal queen, but there are state laws and family rules, and the rules must not be easily broken, Wei Chen. I really think so. It's just that Mo's family was murdered by a traitor at the beginning, and she was an innocent woman who was also dragged down innocently.
To put it bluntly, it is still a mess left by the late emperor.
The emperor's face was full of joy and anger: "If there are precedents, what if someone follows suit in the future?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought for a moment: "It is not without precedent. In order to avenge his father, Zhao E in the Eastern Han Dynasty beheaded Li Shou in the street. After he surrendered himself to prison, he was released with amnesty. E's heroic act of righteousness, carved stone and erected a stele to show the door of Zhao's family, which is praised by the world."
The emperor has actually been shaken, and now only needs one reason to convince him.
Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his hand and compared a number: "It is fair to exchange the thirty-two lives of the Mo family for Mo Jingxian's life. First, it shows His Majesty's loyalty to appease the loyalty and loyalty, and secondly, Dong Qianli and others are the same. There is more than one person to die for, and this case should be dealt with leniently."
The emperor did not speak, frowning in thought. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and finally found that Du Lingchun's side was unreasonably quiet today.
The emperor suddenly said: "Du Aiqing, what do you think?"
Du Lingchun was caught off guard by being called, so he had to step forward and was considering how to answer when suddenly he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu quietly turning around and winking at him, desperately hinting at something.
#Katsura big eyes#
Du Lingchun's hand in his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist: "..."
Everyone was waiting for Du Lingchun to express his position, Yan Fu frowned secretly, thinking that the other party would definitely block more, and it would not be easy to save Mo Jingxian's life. Who would have thought that Du Lingchun shook his sleeve robe expressionlessly, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that Lord Gongsun's words are reasonable... Mo Jingxian can be forgiven."
He lowered his eyes, his face stinky.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that when he and Yan Fu actually agreed, he hissed, and after a long silence he said, "...Since all the Ai Qing said so, I can't insist on it any longer. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, It’s hard to escape the crime, so take Mo Jingxian to the cane for twenty and three months, and it will be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment, how about it?”
The spine can be light or heavy. Mo Jingxian, a woman, can withstand a maximum of twenty strokes, and there will be a life-threatening situation if it goes up. This treatment is reasonable.
When all the ministers heard the words, they knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise—"
Mo Jingxian was pale and wanted to say something, but Gongsun Zhuoyu shook her head without a trace, motioning her not to make a sound.
It's a blessing to be able to save one. Since His Majesty didn't speak, it means that Ye Wuhen's death penalty is inevitable, so why bother to anger him and make him unhappy.
The emperor rubbed his temples and ordered Ye Wuhen to be put into the heavenly prison to wait for his fate, and then he directly waved his sleeves and retreated. Before leaving, he ordered the newly appointed Minister of the Household to go to thoroughly investigate the filth behind Dong Qianli and the other four.
Du Lingchun was in a bad mood. Seeing the emperor leave, he turned around and left the hall with a fast pace. Gongsun Zhuoyu hurriedly pushed up from behind in small steps: "Company, company."
The courtiers went out in twos and threes, seeing Gongsun Zhuoyu's attentive look towards Du Lingchun, and couldn't help but wonder to himself. I wondered if he was a member of Du Lingchun's party, but why did he help Yan Xiang to plead for Mo Jingxian? It really doesn't make sense.
Du Lingchun turned around and saw Gongsun Zhuoyu chasing after him. He glanced at him with no anger: "What do you ask me to do?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the tip of his nose, thinking that he was angry, but he couldn't coax him in public, so he said with a smile: "Of course I'll go back with the company."
Du Lingchun sneered: "Why don't you go back with that old Yan Fu?"
Yan Fu just came out of the hall. He didn't hear anything else, but he heard Du Lingchun scolding him for being an old man. For a moment, his complexion was ashen, and his mandibular beard had no wind and was automatic. Thinking about it, his heart was tight, but because of his poor etiquette, he attacked in front of him.
Gongsun Zhuoyu coughed twice, and pulled La Du Lingchun's sleeve robe in embarrassment: "Shh, keep your voice down."
Du Lingchun didn't see Yan Fu, and when he heard the words, he thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu was protecting him, and glared at him: "I think you are really fascinated by ghosts. Which side are you helping?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Fu's slow voice sounded behind him: "Master Gongsun not only judges the case like a god, but also has a heart of benevolence and justice.
"… "
Du Lingchun turned back subconsciously, only to realize that Yan Fu was standing behind them at some point, and he didn't know how much he had heard just now.
Du Lingchun didn't feel embarrassed, but just listened to Yan Fu's words and wanted to draw Gongsun Zhuoyu over, and a cold swirl appeared on his lips: "Yan Xiang's knowledge is all over the world, and there are countless students under his door. I'm afraid you won't be able to get acquainted."
Yan Fu stood with his hands folded, and said in a meaningful way, "This old man of mine expects to have a few more years to live. If you want, Gongsun Xiaoyou can come to the cold house to drink tea. It's not early, and the old man will leave first."
Gongsun Zhuoyu immediately folded his hands when he heard the words: "Yan Xiang walk slowly."
After Yan Fu stepped down the steps, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he ordered his servants to stuff a purse into the guards who were escorting Mo Jingxian, and instructed them to walk lightly on the staff before leaving.
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that the old man was okay, but when he looked back at Du Lingchun, he saw that his face was gloomy and watery.
It's better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. If you scold Yan Fu, the other party will scold you back at best, but if you offend Du Lingchun, you may be killed behind your back.
"Don't be angry, company," Gongsun Zhuoyu whispered in Du Lingchun's ear, "No matter what others say, I'm naturally on your side."
If it weren't for the public at this moment, he would probably hug Du Lingchun and coax him, but unfortunately so many eyes watched, so he could only rest his mind.
Du Lingchun saw that he was looking at him with a smile in his eyes. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't let it out. He only frowned and said, "It's just this time, it won't happen next time."
Du Lingchun never did bad things.
Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "Listen to the company."
Du Lingchun's expression softened a little, and he was about to say something when he saw Cui Qiao, the maid of honor in the imperial concubine's palace, waiting not far away.
Du Lingchun paused: "What's the matter?"
Cui Qiao said, "Your Majesty has allowed the company to come over if you have something to do."
Although the second prince has a side concubine, the candidate for the main concubine has not been decided yet. The imperial concubine chose to choose for a long time last night and was unable to come up with an idea. After all, it was related to the family marriage, and the power of the court was intricate, and the situation was messed up by a little carelessness. I wanted to invite Du Lingchun to discuss it.
When Du Lingchun heard the words, he subconsciously looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu, and he just entered the harem, but Gongsun Zhuoyu had no way of entering.
"Go to the company, I'll wait for you in the carriage." Gongsun Zhuoyu was a reasonable person.
Du Lingchun said: "Then you will wait outside the palace gate, and I will go back when I go."
Gongsun Zhuoyu waved his hand generously, inexplicably like a puppy: "Go to the company."
Du Lingchun beat his hand down, laughed and scolded a little bastard, and then went to the palace of the imperial concubine.
When Du Qiuwan was the most popular, he was once pointed at the nose by those courtiers and scolded the demon concubine. The women in the harem all lost their color like bald-tailed chickens in front of her, and his demeanor was evident.
When Du Lingchun arrived at the imperial concubine's palace, he saw Du Qiuwan standing under the porch teasing the birds. She was dressed in a palace skirt embroidered with blue peacocks on the bottom of dark green, and her tail feathers were embroidered with gold silk, which meandered and slid across the ground. The figure is graceful, and the back is like a swaying flower. If you don't look at your appearance or listen to your voice, you will have a lot of style.
Du Lingchun stepped forward and called her, "Sister."
Du Qiuwan glanced at him after hearing the words, then withdrew his gaze and continued to tease the bird in the cage. Her voice is soft, and when she laughs, she turns all beings upside down, but she is innocent, not like a woman who has given birth to a child: "I haven't seen you for a while, and you didn't say come to see me in the palace. Fortunately, I invited you here today, otherwise I wouldn't know. When can you come to the palace?"
Du Lingchun looked like a younger brother in front of Du Qiuwan: "I am a foreign minister. If I enter too many times, I will inevitably cause gossip."
The temperamental temperament of their siblings is exactly the same.
Du Qiuwan wiped his hands with his handkerchief and glanced at him: "It's as if you don't come, they won't gossip."
Du Lingchun thought to himself how it would be the same. In the previous dynasty, he was scolded by people, but Du Qiuwan was a woman, and if he had a bad reputation, wouldn't it be the empress's reason to criticize her.
Instead of reasoning with Du Qiuwan, he simply changed the subject: "Is there something important for my sister to call me into the palace?"
Du Qiuwan: "Of course there are important things. Your nephew is also at the age when you should choose the concubine. Your Majesty intends to choose the daughter of the Tang family. I heard that she is dignified and generous, and the second child is also satisfied, but I don't like it very much."
Tang's family heirlooms are famous, but this means that they have little power behind them, and it will not help to marry them back.
Du Lingchun subconsciously said: "He likes him, and His Majesty is also satisfied. Why can't my sister help him?"
Du Qiuwan was leaning over to play with the birds with peacock feathers. Hearing this, he glanced at him in surprise, thinking that it was not like what Du Lingchun would say: "But the Tang family is too weak."
Du Lingchun was stunned for a moment, and the hand wrapped in his sleeve paused unconsciously: "Which girl does the elder sister like?"
Du Qiuwan plucked his nails: "The only daughter of General Rong Suxing, unfortunately, she was caught by the empress and wanted to point it to the fourth child, but I don't know who your majesty will favor."
Du Qiu thought about the queen lately, and his heart was a little gloomy. A few days ago, the Queen's younger brother got married, and His Majesty gave him a special reward. That woman was cheap and good-natured. She didn't forget to step on her. Du Lingchun was also involved in her words, which was nothing more than stabbing him as an eunuch.
"… "
Du Qiuwan's heart was dull, so he simply threw the peacock feather in his hand and looked at Du Lingchun: "I called you here because I want you to get a charter, and it's better to speak before your majesty when you turn around."
Du Lingchun thought for a moment and said, "The Rong family holds the military power, so it is good to be able to draw over them, but it will inevitably lead to suspicion of His Majesty, and since Rong Suxing is an old fox who will not stand in line easily, it is better to choose the daughter of the Tang family. "
Du Qiuwan was still reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that military power could not be easily gained. The queen's mother's family has fallen, and Du Lingchun has a deep foundation in the court. His Majesty's choice may not have the meaning of balancing the two families.
Du Qiuwan sighed: "Then I will listen to you and choose the Tang family."
Du Lingchun nodded, remembering Gongsun Zhuoyu in his heart: "If my sister has nothing to do, I will leave first, there are still some things to do."
Du Qiuwan couldn't help but glance at him. The woman has a delicate mind. She always feels that something is wrong with Du Lingchun, but she can't tell what is wrong, so she can only say: "Then you can go."
Du Lingchun didn't know what to think, took two steps, and suddenly turned back: "There is one more thing I want to ask my sister."
The strange feeling in Du Qiuwan's heart surfaced again, thinking that if something happens, something will happen, why Du Lingchun looked at him awkwardly: "Speak."
Du Lingchun glanced at her quietly, pursed her lips and said, "My sister must have heard about the recent murder case. The person in charge of reviewing the case is named Gongsun Zhuoyu, but... he is my confidant, and I intend to let him sit. As for the position of Jing Zhaoyin, I also asked my sister to speak before His Majesty."
The author has something to say: Concubine: It's very strange, but I can't say why it's strange
