Chapter 226 Whistleblowing
Chapter 226 Whistleblowing
"Wangfei has something important to report, but it doesn't matter." Gao Zhan slightly raised his hand, making Yuan Zi'er stand up and speak.His Majesty the Emperor actually didn't want to listen to this woman's gossip, but after all, she was the concubine of King Hejian, since she was invited in, she could only give some face, and even though she was tired, she could only be patient.
But Yuan Zi'er, who was kneeling underneath, glanced at Gao Zhan, swallowed her throat nervously, twisted her skirt with both hands, and didn't get up.
"The concubine...the concubine wants to report on someone!" Yuan Zi'er suddenly said loudly.
"This..." All the ministers didn't know what tricks this woman was up to, a woman who asked to see the Holy Face early in the morning came to sue.
"Oh?" Gao Zhan listened, looked at the left and right prime ministers, and even the several ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Who is the concubine going to report on? I would like to hear the details." Gao Zhan leaned on the dragon chair, condescendingly looked down at this gossip-loving Yuan family, and asked what happened.
"My concubine, my concubine accused the King of Hejian, Gao Xiaowan, as a sinner. He, he was worried about the emperor's kindness to him, and planned to rebel! It is an unforgivable crime. As the princess of Hejian, this concubine is a concubine. Sin, but ministers and concubines think of the emperor's kindness, and they don't want to be with others, so they risk their lives to see the emperor's clear inspection!!" Yuan Zi'er kowtowed heavily, bowing his head to the ground.
"What the concubine said is true?!" Before Gao Zhan could ask, a minister beside him couldn't hold back and asked Yuan Zi'er directly.Gao Xiaowan, the king of Hejian, has a noble status, he is the eldest grandson of Emperor Shenwu, how can such a conspiracy to rebel be said in vain!
"The concubine's words are true! They came to the palace with the determination to face the saint! The concubine has physical evidence in his hand!" Yuan Zi'er said and presented the letter. Gao Zhan glanced at the letter. The woman took out the letterhead with a startled look on her face.He, Gao Zhan, thought that Gao Xiaowan should be an honest and peaceful person, although he had a wicked heart, he might not have such courage, so even though he had already noticed that the king of Hejian was doing suspicious things in Shandong, he did not arrest Gao Xiaowan's freedom.
Anger rose in his heart, Gao Zhan tolerated it again and again, thinking that Gao Xiaowan would think of his father's face, and would think about the safety of Gao's family and rein in the precipice, but unexpectedly, he was also a madman who was willing to throw moths into the flames for the sake of the throne That's all!
Gao Zhan grabbed the ball of letter paper in his hand and was crumpled into a ball by him.While furious, she suddenly seemed to think of something, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her chest, and said to the woman kneeling in front of her: "Princess Hejian, maybe you have misunderstood this. The weapons and banners were made by King Hejian, and they will be transported into the treasury soon, the princess must be disturbed by mediocrity, and she was frightened for a while!"
No one expected that the emperor would defend Gao Xiaowan in this way instead of being furious.
Zu Ting was so old that he had never seen an emperor personally excuse a rebellious minister. He choked on his own saliva for a moment, covered his mouth, turned his head and coughed violently.The other ministers in the imperial study also looked incredible, and were stunned on the spot.
It is true that the king of Hejian procured mineral materials for the imperial court, but procurement officials were not allowed to forge weapons privately, let alone buy flags for the imperial court? !
"Your Majesty! You..." He Shikai knew the reason in no time, he never imagined that the emperor would back down so much because of Gao Changgong!
"Your Majesty, the king of Hejian must have bought some thieves in the capital to make trouble together if he was able to transport weapons into Yecheng. Your Majesty, you can't be kind to women!" Zuo Xiang still had the imprint of kowtowing just now on his forehead, but he Now I can't control much, the emperor actually wanted to suppress this matter to keep Gao Xiaowan, but the matter has actually reached the point where a knife is on his neck, how can he make him pretend to be deaf and dumb!
"Shut up!!" Gao Zhan really got angry when he patted the dragon case.The memorials that had been stacked on the desk were pushed to the ground, He Shikai was startled, and quickly knelt on the ground again.Even Yuan Zi'er was like a frightened bird, her head was lowered as if she was sticking to the ground.She was trembling, she really didn't expect that the emperor who usually used extremely harsh punishments would favor Gao Xiaowan in this matter.If stealing chickens doesn't cost a lot of money, she doesn't need to go back to the Gao Mansion, fearing that there will be catastrophe here.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." Gao Zhan was furious, and the ancestor said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, what is right and wrong is deceptive, but seeing is believing. Princess Hejian willingly risked the disgrace of the world in order to repay the emperor's kindness and kill relatives. It is rare for her to be loyal. Your Majesty should cherish it. And the king of Hejian is the current court." You are a prince, and you have a noble status. If you have wronged a good person, why don't you send someone to the Gao Mansion to find out what happened first? If Princess Hejian made a mistake or made a false accusation intentionally, then you will torture those with ulterior motives to restore King Hejian's innocence. Not too late."
As Zu Xiang said, he glanced at Yuan Shi intentionally or unintentionally.Regardless of whether the King of Hejian conspired to rebel or not, and was betrayed by his wife, such a scandal spread to the people really insulted the majesty of the royal family, so the words were a little more deterrent to the Yuan family who dared to sue the imperial court.
As soon as Zu Teng said, Yuan Zi'er's face was as white as paper, her body trembled like chaff, her head was blank, she bit her lips and was forced to speak in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be discerning! The concubine will never dare to speak falsely, yes Well, Gao Xiaowan will take his mother out of Ye City in these two days, just to prepare for his future rebellion! Gao Xiaowan has a dignified appearance, but he is actually a real beast in clothes! My lords, do you know how the ministers and concubines swallow their anger in the high mansion? I was humiliated! That Gao Xiaowan treated me extremely coldly and had no relationship with husband and wife. This person is virtuous and disobedient and doesn't like women at all. What he never forgets in his heart is his fourth brother Gao..."
"Presumptuous!" Long Yan was furious, and with a roar, everything in the imperial study was completely silent, and even a needle could be clearly heard when it fell.
"The emperor calm down!" Seeing that the emperor was completely enraged, all the ministers knelt down and worshiped.This lifeless woman!
"Your majesty... Your concubine..." Yuan Zi'er's eyes were red, and she wanted to beg for mercy.
"Come here, take Princess Hejian into custody, and don't let her out without my order..." Gao Zhan ordered with a blank face.
"The emperor spares my life~~~~~~~~~The emperor spares my life~~~~~~~~~~~ The concubine is wronged!!! The concubine is wronged!!!!" Yuan Zi'er was forced by the guards like this She dragged on, wailing all the way until her cries could no longer be heard.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not groundless. Your Majesty is benevolent and wants to give way to King Hejian. He is the eldest grandson of Emperor Daqi Shenwu, so he can't make up his mind. But if we don't find out the matter, I'm afraid there will be troubles." It's hard to level up. And now that the Beisai is not peaceful, if there are still internal troubles..." a minister reported.
"Ancestor, I'm tired... Everything is left to you. You should know the importance of it, and don't sweep the face of the royal family." Gao Zhan got up, his face was frosty, and he walked away.
"Yes, I obey the order!" The minister behind him said respectfully.
"Master Zu, then we will resign first." Several soldiers who joined the army also bid farewell.
"Okay." Zu Ting narrowed his eyes and sent those ministers away.
Looking back at He Shikai who looked embarrassed, He Shikai was about to leave, but He Shikai said: "Zuxiang, if Princess Hejian hadn't rebelled today, would His Majesty really want to watch Gao Xiaowan rebel? Zuxiang should also have a report in his hand, Gao Xiaowan thought Unknowingly, both Qinghe and Guangzhou are in His Majesty's control! Even the information collected by Chen Weiran is enough to make Gao Xiaowan imprisoned. However, His Majesty... His Majesty has already regarded him as a scourge, and if he hadn’t looked at his previous feelings, he would have killed the soldiers several times! In the future, I am afraid that the Qing emperor will only face the righteousness of the king and listen to it, and only the ancestors will be able to bear it!"
In fact, He Shikai's relationship with this Zu Ting is not close, and being the left and right prime ministers is a hindrance.It's just that He Shikai saw that he was alienated by Gao Zhan, so he couldn't help changing his face, and said: "Zuxiang, the emperor Wenxiang sent you because Zuxiang only took 30 taels of military salary from the army. Now you can take charge of it." I don't know how the ancestors will deal with the life and death honor and disgrace of Wenxiang's lineage? Repaying grievances with virtue or..." He Shikai raised his hand and gestured, raising his knife and dropping it, he was eagerly waiting to see this good show, but he didn't know how to wait. how long.
Conspiracy is a serious crime that punishes the whole family.Gao Xiaowan really dared to plot against her, even the Immortal Da Luo couldn't save her!
Now that the incident happened, none of the brothers from the Gao family could escape the crime of sitting! !
Zu Xiang's old eyes were dim, but his ears could hear clearly.Back then, he was sent to a remote place by Emperor Wenxiang for corruption and bribery, where he stayed for three years.In summer, there was no lamp in the dungeon for lighting, but Zu Ting was bored and could only focus on reading. He burned turnip seeds for lighting, but his eyes were damaged by the smoke.Looking at this silver-haired He Shikai now, he can't see clearly what kind of treachery and arrogance are hidden in the eyes of this barbarian, but he already knows the calculations in his stomach without looking carefully.
"The leftist is wrong! Wenxiang's lineage has already separated, and the brothers should have their own houses. If the king of Hejian committed a crime, he would not be as guilty as other princes. I did blame Emperor Wenxiang back then, but Now that I, the emperor, are benevolent and righteous, I am most concerned about the brotherhood with Emperor Wenxiang, so this matter may not go as Prime Minister Zuo wished! Prime Minister Zuo, I still have important things to do, so I will take my leave first! Say hello to this old man and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zu Ting chuckled, bowed and left.
He Shikai frowned, secretly cursing this old man who doesn't know how to praise in his heart, his blue eyes were filled with murderous aura.
As soon as the sun passed Zhongtian that day, the situation in Ye City suddenly changed. No one expected that this once majestic high mansion collapsed in an instant.
The stone lions in front of the gate of the Gao Mansion were still majestic, but after being searched by a team of troops in the mansion, they put a seal on the big gate not to enter.
There was a sound of mourning in the high mansion, and all the servants and maids were bound and driven out of the mansion.There were also three soldiers in one cart and launched a lot of supplies.The car was covered with thick felt, and others could only point and suspect secretly.Only when the carriage shook, some sharp corners of the utensils inside and some traces of bright yellow silk and satin could be exposed from the corners.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, they only heard that King Hejian and his mother, Empress Jingde, wanted to leave Yecheng this morning, but they were stopped by the palace guards at the east gate.After all, it was the chief family of the royal family, and the closure of the Gao Mansion shocked the ruling and opposition parties.There are also constant rumors in the market, and the people are talking about it.The city is full of wind and rain, which is difficult to calm down.
