The early dynasty was as lively as Xiao Tianyao thought, and the censor impeached the prince for his misconduct, disrespect for elders, and lack of bearing. A few civil servants, you said every word, and magnified the small mistakes made by the prince one by one, and everything can be involved in the country and society.
The civil servant's pen is their sword, and they can write the prince very badly with just one pen.
In order to impeach the prince, the censors also worked hard. Not only did they tell the story of the prince making trouble for Lin Chujiu at the gate of the city, but also when Lin Chujiu entered the palace to thank him and was stopped by the prince at the gate of the palace, he was also picked up by the civil servants. Come out and accuse one pass.
"Crashing into Princess Xiao once can be said to be an accident, but what about two times? Some things are inseparable, the prince is no longer a child, he is the heir of a country, the emperor, you can no longer condone the prince's pleasure, the emperor, you indulge the prince. It's hurting him." A silver-haired old minister, weeping bitterly, begged the emperor to punish the prince severely, so that the prince could be taught a lesson, and he would not make such a mistake again next time.
If it weren't for the heavy punishment he mentioned, everyone would think that he was doing it for the Crown Prince's sake.
Some people started, and others agreed, but Lin Xiang wanted to ask for mercy, but this time the officials of the Right Prime Minister's faction seized the prince's big mistake, how could they give Lin and others a chance to speak.
Because of King Xiao's threat, they dare not say that Princess Xiao's is not, don't they dare to say that the prince's is not
The emperor didn't say a word at first, but the civil servants at the bottom thought that the emperor had not made a decision yet.
People from the Right Prime Minister's faction insisted that the prince disrespected Lin Chujiu, and firmly believed that the prince should be severely punished.
The evidence is conclusive, and the only thing people in Lin Xiang's line can do is sophistry, but which of the civil servants present will be weak? You can't come up with something useful, just quibble with your lips
The people of Lin Xiang's family wanted to protect the crown prince, so they had no choice but to talk about Lin Chujiu's appearance at the city gate in ragged clothes.
Under the agitation of others, a stupefied young man said: "Concubine Xiao has a disrespectful wife, behaves in a disorderly manner, makes a scene at the city gate, and loses the face of the royal family. The prince came forward to protect the face of the Tian family, why? Is it wrong?"
As soon as the words of the Lin Xiang faction fell, the hall immediately became quiet, and the officials of the Right Prime faction did not answer at all, standing in place with a smile on their face.
Finally, Lin Xiang's people said these words themselves.
The Right Prime Minister gave Lin Xiang an inscrutable look, and withdrew his gaze with a smile that was not a smile. Lin Xiang secretly said that it was not good. Sure enough, after a while of silence, the Right Prime Minister stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Xiao has a short time to marry into the royal family. I am afraid that many rules have not been learned yet. This matter has nothing to do with the royal family, it should be related to the teachings of Princess Xiao's family."
The censors were afraid of Xiao Tianyao, and they were not afraid of mentioning Lin Chujiu, but not everyone in the court was afraid. Like the Chancellor of the Right, not only was he not afraid of Xiao Tianyao, but he hated it so much. It's just that he didn't mention some things. Now that someone has brought it up, of course, the Right Prime Minister will not miss this opportunity.
Of course, the Right Prime Minister knew very well that it was impossible to bring down Prince Xiao by virtue of this incident. He could only smear Prince Xiao's mansion and bring chaos to Prime Minister Lin.
Lin Xiang naturally refused to agree, but if he didn't take the blame, he had to let the royal family not take it. After thinking about it, Lin Xiang understood the tricks of the Right Prime Minister. He secretly cursed his unfortunate daughter. .
Lin Xiang stepped forward, and the words of defense turned into a request, "The minister has no way to teach the daughter, and it has implicated the prince, and the emperor must punish him."
In order to protect the prince, Lin Xiang did not hesitate to carry all his faults on his own. When he saw this, Xiang Xiang couldn't help shaking his head: Sure enough, his foundation was shallow and his knowledge was lacking.
The emperor is still young, and Lin Xiang is so desperate to protect the prince, will the emperor be happy
Of course the emperor would not be happy, but Lin Xiang was a chess piece that he had to use, and the emperor would not abandon Lin Xiang until another chess piece was raised.
Besides, the reason why Prime Minister Lin tried so hard to protect the prince was just a matter of the prince and the second miss of the Lin family. As long as the second miss of the Lin family could not become the future prince concubine, Prime Minister Yilin's shrewdness and snobbery would definitely not get close to the prince.
The emperor reprimanded Lin Xiang a few words in court, and before he punished the prince for thinking for half a month, he put the matter down.
Although the people from the Right Prime Minister's faction were somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's act of raising it high and letting it down gently, the Right Prime Minister knew in his heart that the Emperor still had to rely on Lin Xiang, a poor disciple, to suppress the aristocratic family. He wanted to overthrow Lin Xiang. impossible.
The left and right emperors have already punished the prince and Lin Xiang, which means that they have won the battle, and the right relative is very satisfied with this. Besides, the focus of this morning's court is not the Crown Prince and Princess Xiao, but the focus of this morning's court is King Xiao!
Others may not say anything, but as well-informed as the right minister has long known, he is just waiting to see a good show.
The people who attended King Xiao were, without any surprise, the emperor's confidant, who was monitoring the censor Zhou Kezhou.
Lord Zhou's words have always been sharp, and his essays are also in this style. Lord Zhou pointed out that King Xiao was violent and indiscriminately killed innocent people. Relying on his martial arts skills, he ignored the curfew and went out to kill people in the middle of the night. Do not pay attention to the laws of the court.
Lord Zhou is the emperor's confidant. Although he usually does not show off the mountains and waters, it is like impeachment. The emperor is handed over to Lord Zhou. To put it simply, Lord Zhou is the mouth of the emperor. He thinks about the emperor but can't say it. Words, say them one by one.
Lord Zhou means what the emperor means. Lin Xiang and You Xiang can fight whatever they want, but they must not fight at this time. The two have a tacit understanding of joining forces. As the Prime Minister of the dynasty, they will not go along with what Lord Zhou said, just give the emperor one. Take the steps where King Xiao asks.
"Your Majesty, at the foot of the emperor, murdering people in the middle of the night is a very important matter. You cannot judge King Xiao's crime based on the words of Lord Zhou, and ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly." Lin Xiang and You Xiang stepped forward and expressed own meaning.
"No matter who you are, no matter what your status, if you dare to commit murder at the feet of the emperor in the middle of the night, you must not forgive him lightly."
Lin Xiang and You Xiang sang in harmony, and the emperor followed the steps they set up and called Xiao Tianyao into the palace to ask questions.
The imperial decree was passed to Xiao Wang's mansion, and it reached Lin Chujiu's ears at the first time. Xiao Tianyao entered the palace on the front foot, Su Cha ran to look for Lin Chujiu on the back foot, and comforted him when he entered the door: "Princess, you don't have to worry, the lord will definitely not. Something happened."
"I'm not worried." Lin Chujiu raised her head to look at Su Cha, and there was no trace of worry on her indifferent expression.
Are you really not worried
"Princess, the lord killed the emperor's confidant, do you really have to worry about the lord?" This man was killed for you anyway.
"Why are you worried? Before the prince killed, didn't you think of this possibility?" Lin Chujiu didn't answer the question, Su Cha was speechless for a while...
Before the prince murdered, did you think about the consequences
should be…
