MTL - Minister Family’s Black Belly Woman-Chapter 463 House arrest? This is protecting you!
In the palace of Cheng Qian, the civil and military officials stood silently, watching the two kings, three kings, and four kings standing in front of them.
Since the three emperors passed away, the three princes have not gone to the premature dynasty. They are so neat today that they are afraid that something will happen. In particular, the second prince, he was titled by the emperor, and he was also the elder brother's elder brother. The three princes were banned before, but later, the emperor died, and the world was pardoned. Although the prince did not reward him, how can he now occupy the name of a prince, and there are four princes behind him. Brothers, it ’s hard to think about it.
Sitting on the throne above, Shen Ninghua glanced lightly over all the officials in the hall: "Today, this palace specially invited three royal lords to come to discuss the war in the northwest. You all want to know that the northwest is bitterly cold After another natural disaster, the emperor has sent news to the palace, saying that the northwest cities have no food available, and that soldiers and people eat bark and roots for a living. Now the two countries are at war, if the soldiers will have enough food Nothing, how could you have the strength to fight the enemy? "
As soon as the words came down, the officials at the bottom couldn't help talking about it. They thought that the conditions in the northwest should be difficult, but how could they never have thought of eating tree roots and bark? Isn't it too miserable?
Three princes Baili Jinyu laughed aloud: "Queen, you are too alarmist. Although the conditions in the Northwest are difficult, when the father was in office, he ordered Northwest Tunliang grain every year in order to prevent war. No grain or grass is available. Now Why is there no food at all? "
"The three kings have said a good question, and this palace is also very curious, who gets the food that hoards every year. The local officials in the northwest have much greater powers than ordinary local officials, and the government warehouses are completely under their jurisdiction. The emperor sent news that these local officials secretly sold food and offered silver as offerings in order to please their superiors. It is said that this layer is sent upwards and can be sent to Kyoto. "
As soon as this remark came out, many officials' faces changed a lot. Some time ago, the emperor dealt with old-school officials in large numbers. The charges were corruption and bribery. Now the country is at war, and the situation is even more critical. If something happens at this time, for the stability of the country, it is not directly Beheaded?
The three princes sneered: "The queen mother, as far as the King knows, the emperor has not reached the northwest for a few days. Even if any news is found, it will not be transmitted to Kyoto at all. What you just said is simply a guess and there is no direct evidence."
The queen looked at the three princes, and there was a hint of taunt in her eyes. After experiencing the previous events, Baili Jinyu still did not learn at all: "Three lords, the emperor has sent someone to investigate before leaving. Do you think the emperor? Do n’t dare to drive away without forethought? ”
"Haha, the queen mother has evidence that Northwest officials sent silver money to officials in Kyoto?"
Shen Ninghua shook her head: "There is no conclusive evidence in this palace."
"No evidence, so what are you talking about today?"
"Of course to deal with a group of corrupt officials."
The three princes laughed out loud: "The queen, if you have no evidence, you dare to attack the court officials? Are you afraid that you are excluding aliens? Queen queen, you have just been in the country for a few days, and you have begun to eliminate people in the court. The purpose behind it really makes people feel cold ... "
The four princes also stood up. Before he came, he received the news. Naturally, he knew that Shen Ninghua was going to attack them, so he didn't have to hide it today, just tore his face. Baili Junyi is not here. A woman, they are not afraid of her:
"Mother Queen, you should have heard it. Nowadays, there are rumors out there. Many people are complaining about why the emperor did not accept the terms and conditions of the Great Vietnam State, otherwise you will not have to endure the suffering of war. Now you are like this. Anxious to eradicate Chaotang officials, I could not help but let the king and others doubt whether you have any rebellious intentions! "
As soon as this word came out, there was an uproar. The minds of many old-school officials have begun to float. Although they have been killed by the emperor, but depending on the means of the emperor now, who knows whether he will continue to track down their previous mistakes. If the emperor's relatives return, they will fully stabilize the throne. Packing them is not a matter of raising their hands.
Shen Ninghua collected the floating thoughts of everyone, and there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes: "Four Lords, folk rumors have risen, among them, you and the Three Kings have contributed a lot, and you have to push behind."
"Queen, you are spraying blood on your mouth. As a member of the royal family, naturally you have to uphold the majesty of the royal family, how can you spread these words? Can you have any evidence or physical evidence?"
Shen Ninghua's voice was cold: "If it wasn't for this matter, this palace still doesn't know that the four princes are careful people. Some time ago, your relative, Wang Wu, was killed, and his family was in charge of the Ning'an family, and his family was on fire late at night. All of them were burned to death, and there were 26 people, including idle people, who were violent overnight. These people were the people you used to spread the rumors. In order to prevent them from being found by the palace, after they spread the rumors, they Killing them and killing them immediately was really a waste of effort. "
The four princes remained motionless and their faces were full of justice: "The queen mother, these people have been killed, and my king is very heartbroken. These days, people have been searching for the killer, but queen, how can you rely on your own guess, Just put things on the king's head? What rumors, what ruins of the body, are nonsense, today the mother-in-law must give a statement to the king! "
As soon as this word came out, many people began to agree: "Yes, please ask the queen mother to Weichen and others to explain why, otherwise you can't convince the public!"
"Yeah, you can't just convict yourself by guessing, especially if you want to be a king."
"This wind cannot last long, otherwise the country will be turbulent."
"..."
The new officials are not good. They support Baili Junyi and admire Shen Ninghua's wrist. However, the rush of the queen today is really too anxious. Without evidence, not only can not convict the four princes and others, but they will also make He gave a bite, something bad! Many people immediately came forward to speak for Shen Ninghua:
"This incident involves a lot of human lives and deserves attention. The queen's maiden is just guessing one or two, but they have responded so much. Isn't it a guilty conscience?"
"Exactly, the body is not afraid of the shadow oblique. If you have not done anything wrong, naturally you do not have to rush to refute."
The official representative Zhu Zheng suddenly stood up and looked at the three kings and the four kings with poor eyes: "Four kings, the rumors stop at the wise, and outside rumors abolished the queen to quell the war. It's a nonsense. The big wolves are ambitions, clearly Try every means to insult my Da Anguo, suppress the morale of my Da Anguo, the Queen is the mother of a country, how can you softly abandon it? The four princes are aggressive in the chapel, and they also speak madly, saying that the queen mother and wife are suspected of rebellion, then Do you have evidence? If you talk nonsense without evidence, do you also have indecision?
What's more, so many people died in the Four Kings ’Mansion. It should be the first time to inform the queen mother-in-law and let the mother-in-law send someone from the sentencing department to investigate. Although you are now a prince, you do not have the power to investigate. You send someone to investigate them. The cause of death, this is the act of exceeding authority! "
it is good! The new officials secretly yelled in their hearts. It is worthy of being an official who can sit in the past. This combat power is not ordinary. These words are even beaten, and the faces of the four princes are dark.
The four princes turned to look at Zhu Zheng, and cursed an immortal in his heart.
Shen Ninghua ticked the corners of her lips, and then looked at Bai Lijinjing with a jeering look: "Four lords, have you just been too anxious just now, has this palace said that there is no evidence? But have you said everything? All guesses? "
Bai Lijinjing's face darkened, and a bad feeling rose in his heart: "So you have evidence?"
"Yes, yes, the Ministry of Justice Shangshu, do you?"
The old sacred Shang Shangshu, who had been there, quickly stood up and took out a memorial from the cuff: "After being questioned, the detained witnesses identified that the victims of the Four Palaces were the ones who spread the rumors. Some also gave silver two to let them spread rumors, and Tibetan silver has also been recovered. "
Bai Lijinjing stared unscrupulously at Shang Shu: "What witnesses, where did you find the witnesses?"
"It's not easy to find the root of the rumors. Fortunately, the queen's maiden is well prepared, and she is afraid that some people will shake the hearts of the people during the war. Therefore, in important tea houses, restaurants, etc., people were sent to stare at this incident. After seeing it clearly, although they did not have time to catch those who spread the rumors directly, they were killed, but the first people they had contacted were taken to the Ministry of Justice for questioning. "
"People? How about letting them be witnesses?"
Shen Ninghua looked up: "Why, can't the people be witnesses? Lord Four, now there is evidence that the rumors were spread by your people. What else do you have to say?"
"Even if it proves that those people spread rumors, do you have evidence that the queen has been instructed by me?"
Shen Ninghua looked at his determined look, and could not help but sneer: "I have no evidence."
Bai Lijin smiled proudly. Without evidence, what can he do?
"I don't have evidence, but many things don't need conclusive evidence. Come, **** the three lords and four lords back to the house. These days, let them take a good rest in the house, and no one should come to disturb them."
Lord Three's face changed: "Queen, are you going to house us?"
"How could that be?" Shen Ninghua was surprised. "This palace is just for people to send you back to recuperate. By the way, send someone to protect your safety. Where is the house arrest?"
"you……"
Shen Ninghua was unwilling to continue to argue with them: "In a special period, several royal lords are valuable, so they need to send someone to protect them. Come, escorting the two royal lords back to their homes! Oh wait, there are Master Qi and Liu who just spoke Lord, Lord Chen ... they are also the ministers of the country, they are specially protected in special times, and they are sent back with them! "
