dream of red mansion

Page 482

"What's the matter, tell me."

"It's about Master He..."

Emperor Wan Long frowned and thought for a while, then said, "He Shanbao?"

Seeing Wu Dequan nodding his head, he really became interested.When people are old, it is easiest to remember, and then cherish the past memories even more.

"Quickly tell me, he should be old now, so what new stories are there?"

Wu Dequan said with a smile: "It's not Mr. He's own business...that's what happened. The servant also heard that the eunuchs who went out to compradors occasionally mentioned that Mr. He's grandson was killed by Qiu of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. Liang was taken to prison."

Emperor Wanlong wondered: "Isn't He Shanbao the current Chief Assistant? What happened to his grandson and he was arrested?"

Wu Dequan said with a smile: "Speaking of it, it's also my fault that Mr. He taught Sun Buyan. Yesterday his little grandson returned home from the Imperial College for vacation. Because he was happy, he ran a horse on the street. Who knew that if he was not careful, he would hurt a passerby. .

It just so happened that Qiu Liang saw this again, and he was escorted back to the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi on the spot.I heard that Mr. He is really angry because of this matter..."

Wu Dequan took this matter as something new, but did not see Emperor Wan Long's frown.

He has been in the imperial court for many years, and he knows everything about the government affairs like the palm of his hand.As soon as he heard this, he knew it would not be easy.

"I heard that the emperor confiscated another mansion not long ago?" Emperor Zhengqing asked suddenly.

Wu Dequan said: "There is such a thing. I heard that it is because the Jinyi Army found out the Shoushan uncle's mansion half a year ago and sent people to intercept and kill the postman who sent the message six hundred miles away in the border of Jinling. His Majesty was furious, so this is the decree."

Emperor Wan Long remained silent, and said for a while, "Let's go, go back to the palace."

"Yes."

......

"Your Majesty, I think Qiu Liang's move is very inappropriate. He Shanbao is the chief assistant of the court anyway, how can he be humiliated by such a trivial matter?"

In the Daming Palace, Emperor Zhengqing invited several of his confidants to discuss matters.What was being discussed was how to take advantage of this opportunity to show off to He Shanbao and win him the position of chief assistant in the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenlong expressed his objection first.

"Mr. Cui Ge's words are serious. How can this be regarded as humiliation? Could it be that his grandson rode a horse in the street and hurt people? Was it someone else's slander? You can't ignore the laws of the country just because he is the chief assistant, right?

Did Cui Ge think that the imperial court should order Qiu Liang to release him immediately, in order to preserve the dignity of the chief assistant?So where is the law of the country? "

Zhao Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had a different idea from Cui Wenlong. Like Emperor Zhengqing, he believed that this was an excellent opportunity to break the situation.

Cui Wenlong couldn't refute Zhao Qian's words on the line.Unspoken rules can only prevail over the rules when both parties agree, and once they are put on the table, they cannot be implemented.

Therefore, Cui Wenlong did not answer Zhao Qian's words, but turned to Emperor Zhengqing and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that everything is under our control now, and it is not long since the big case three years ago was revealed to the world." Well, at that time, His Majesty can justifiably abolish the position of He Shanbao's first assistant, but it is unnecessary to do it with such means, and it will be disrespectful to the court."

Zhao Qiandao: "Old Cui Ge is a bit stubborn. Those who come to achieve great things by themselves should make the best use of the situation. Now that there is a ready-made opportunity and not take advantage of it, but wait for the east wind that will arrive at an unknown time, I think it is completely unnecessary of.

If His Majesty agrees, and I decide to impeach He Shanbao at the court meeting in the next day, Your Majesty can take this opportunity to discuss He Shanbao's crimes. "

To convict He Shanbao, only the three judiciaries will have a joint trial. Other than that, no other yamen is qualified to do so.

Therefore, the evidence they currently have is not enough to convict He Shanbao.This procedure must be passed before He Shanbao can be sent to prison in a legitimate manner.

Emperor Zhengqing thought for a while and asked Fang Shoudao: "What does Fang Aiqing think?"

His words had already expressed his intention, and he agreed with Zhao Qian's words.Because, he also felt that there was no need to wait any longer, and took this opportunity to attack He Shanbao.

Fang Shou replied: "I think that Master Cui and Master Zhao are both right. I have no objection to this. I implore Your Majesty to decide."

The soldiers and horses of the five cities were under the Jiedu of the Jingying, and his eldest disciple Sun Da happened to be the Jiedu of the Jingying now, so Qiu Liang could be regarded as one of his people, so he didn't say much.

Emperor Zhengqing glanced at Cui Wenlong, and Cui Wenlong knew his intentions. He sighed helplessly, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please judge."

Emperor Zhengqing smiled slightly and said: "Since that's the case, let's do as Zhao Aiqing said."

......

"Go, hurry up, take a look!"

In a courtyard of Rongqing Hall, several young maids urged each other to rush to the main courtyard.

Running to the courtyard in front of the main hall of Rongqing Hall, there are already many maids and women gathered around the middle of the courtyard, pointing at a big tree that appeared out of thin air.

"Those are lychees, there are so many!"

Many little maids have never seen what a lychee tree looks like, but they still recognize the fruits that hang on it.After all, with the respect of the Jia family, there are still channels to eat lychees.

However, I have never seen anyone directly move fruit trees in together.

"The old lady is out."

As soon as the voices of the maids fell, the curtain in front of the main hall opened, and Mother Jia came out surrounded by Yuanyang, Li Wan, and Mrs. Wang.

The girls who had been surrounding hurriedly stepped aside and let Jia Mu come over.

Mother Jia walked down the steps, raised her eyes, and looked at the two or three tall trees standing in the hallway.Underneath is a large wooden frame one or two meters square, which is filled with soil, and the trunk is inserted straight into it.

Going up along the trunk, there are unfolded branches and leaves, stretched out, occupying a large area.There are plump red lychees hanging on it, which are golden and beautiful!

Rao is that Jia Mu has enjoyed all the glory and wealth all her life, and she has never let anyone do such a naughty thing.This thing, there are not seven or eight men, I'm afraid they can't lift it.

"Who sent this in?"

Just now Li Wan, Yuanyang and others only said to let her come out to see the rare items, so she still doesn't know who sent them in.

Li Wan smiled and said, "Guess the old lady?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, and said, "This kind of thing, probably only Brother Qing, a narrow-minded brat, can think of it!"

"The old lady is so clear, she guessed right!"

Jia's mother also laughed and said, "Did he really do it? Fortunately, he still said that he is a person who does big things all day long, so he didn't have to do things to make people laugh. Let relatives and friends know about this way, and it's not bad." What a joke, even we have become greedy cats."

Mrs. Wang said: "It's okay, he is filial to the old lady. If others know about it, they will only praise him for his filial piety. There will be no other words."

Just as he was talking, the sisters also came after hearing the news.The first thing I saw was the conspicuous big tree in the courtyard. I took a closer look before walking to Mother Jia to greet her.

Jia Mu said: "It just so happens that you are here, go and pick a few, let's try it."

The sisters used to eat fruits ready-made and put them on the plate. They had never done such a thing of picking fruits directly from the tree, and they all came forward excitedly.

Turned around for a long time, but no one started.It's not that it's not tall enough to reach, but, looking at the brightly colored fruits hanging on the branches, the sisters feel that they are very neat and beautiful, and they can't bear to do it for a while.

Mrs. Wang said: "Hurry up, the old lady is waiting to taste."

Several people couldn't help it, so they had to be cruel, and one of them stepped forward and grabbed a branch, and picked two from it.
