BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110: Impeach
"Hi! Do you know who I saw today? It\'s Mr. Lang Chu Huan Chu, the number one scholar three years ago!"
"If you see it, you will see it! I heard that during the three years when Mr. Chu was released as the county magistrate, his political achievements were diligent, and he was excellent in the official department\'s evaluation every year. Now that he returns to Beijing, he may go directly to Yushitai."
"That\'s not necessarily the case. Let me tell you, I saw Mr. Chu and a woman wearing a veiled hat enter the box of Yipinju today. Who do you think the woman is?"
"Okay, don\'t be a fool, don\'t tell me how many brothers you have to go!"
"Hey hey hey, I said..."
He pretended to suppress his voice to make sure that Master Chu in the sedan chair could hear him.
"It\'s the Empress Dowager, the two retreated and stayed in the box for half an hour before coming out, and then the two got into the same carriage..."
The voice of speaking became farther and farther away, and Chang Sui glanced at the face of his own adults. Da Ma chased after the source of the sound, but did not see anyone.
Master Chu waved his hand. Shen Sheng said: "Go and find out where Ah Huan has been today? Who did you meet?"
Chang Sui hesitated and said: "My lord, this is obviously deliberately designed for you to hear."
Master Chu waved his hand: "Where there is no wind, there are no waves. You should send someone to investigate first, and the right and wrong will be clear."
The people who followed Chu Huan were all servants of the Chu family. In addition, as the chief censor who supervised all the officials, it was very easy to investigate such a small matter.
Within two hours, the personal chief casually found out everything, including the dispute between Su Qing and Shen Mingjiao at the entrance of the Pretty Pavilion.
Seeing that his lord\'s face became more and more serious after hearing this, Chang Sui said cautiously: "It seems that those people just now were probably arranged by Su Wang\'s mansion. Could it be to provoke you to deal with the East Palace?"
Master Chu knocked heavily on the table, "These are not important, the important thing is what Ah Huan thinks, when the young master comes back, let him come to see me in the study."
When it was almost dark, Chu Huan went back to the mansion. Hearing that his father was looking for him, he remembered what happened today and went to the study in a good mood.
Master Chu looked at the smile on his son\'s face, his eyes deepened, and he asked with a casual smile, "You seem to be in a good mood. Who did you meet today?"
Chu Huan paused: "I met some former classmates."
Master Chu didn\'t ask any more questions, but instead said: "I have already greeted Mr. Wu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and plan to transfer you to Yushitai, what do you think?"
The father and son had agreed on this matter long ago, and Chu Huan also agreed at that time.
Chu Huan was silent for a while, then raised his head: "Father, I don\'t want to go to Yushitai."
Master Chu raised his eyebrows, and asked him with interest: "Oh, then where do you want to go?"
Chu Huan couldn\'t help but glanced at his father. If he said that in normal times, his father would definitely slap the table and get angry.
He felt a little uneasy, but he still said:
"I want to go to Chongwen Museum to give lectures."
Eastern Palace also had small imperial courts, such as Menxiafang, Rate Gengling, Servants, Left and Right Guards, Prince Taifu, etc.
The Chongwen Museum is the place where the prince studies. In addition, a group of honorable children will be recruited to accompany the prince to study. The teacher who teaches them is the attendant,
And these people are naturally classified as the Eastern Palace faction. Master Chu laughed calmly:
"Okay... very good... my son is really ambitious!"
Then he violently picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at Chu Huan\'s face.
"You are really good. For a woman, you can even squander the Qiancheng family at will!"
Chu Huan subconsciously dodged sideways, and when he heard this, his mind turned and he realized:
"Did Princess Su send someone to tell you something? Don\'t listen to her nonsense, she is just..."
Looking at his father\'s face, he didn\'t dare to continue after all, and instead said: "I am innocent with the princess, I just admire her talent, besides, she is such a high-spirited person..."
Master Chu interrupted him, and said with a sneer: "So high-spirited and upright that I don\'t care about men and women, and words lure you to join the Eastern Palace camp."
Seeing that Chu Huan still wanted to defend himself, he waved impatiently:
"Since you don\'t like Yushitai, then continue to be a county magistrate! Come back when your mind is cleared."
After dismissing his son, Mr. Chu still held his breath in his heart. Pick up the pen and start to write the notebook.
Ah! It turns out that you have just married into the East Palace, and the crown prince is the only prince today, so he should turn a blind eye to some small private actions.
But now he has actually set his mind on his son, he really thinks that the chief censor is dead!
So at the court meeting on the second day, Yushi Chu issued more than a dozen bullets in a row to impeach Su Xiang for forming a party for private interests, the Su family invaded the fields, the younger generation rode horses in the street, doted on concubines and killed their wives...
That posture was like picking up Prime Minister Su and even the entire Su family from inside to outside.
Not only the civil and military officials, but even Prime Minister Su himself was taken aback. He thought that during this period of time he should not have offended the lunatic Chu Yushi.
Jing and Di, who were sitting at the top, raised their eyebrows, but he didn\'t express any opinions.
After the court dispersed, he immediately summoned his confidants and hidden guards to investigate the whole story. After all, although Chu Yushi is famous for his uprightness, he will not arrest someone for no reason and impeach him, and he even pretends to expose the opponent\'s old background.
If the emperor really wants to investigate something, as long as there is an opportunity to follow, there is almost nothing that cannot be investigated.
In less than half a day, a thick stack of information was placed on the desks of Jing and Emperor.
Jing and Di turned a few pages curiously, and their usual gentle and smiling faces became condensed a little bit. When they finished reading all of them, he couldn\'t hold back, and smashed a glass angrily.
As an emperor, it is generally unavoidable to experience sons fighting for the throne. All kinds of wooing courtiers and forming cliques for personal gain.
But he has always been very proud of this, because he has only two sons, and the eldest son is too good, so he doesn\'t need to be wooed at all, so the courtiers spontaneously approach him.
As for the youngest son, Qi Yu has always been gentle in character, and now he is the only prince in the palace, so there is no need to win him over.
But he never expected that it was not his son who made him experience all this, but his daughter-in-law, who had just been married for less than a month.
Look at what\'s written on it, one didn\'t pay attention. Most of the high-level officials in the court who were not very close to the prince were coaxed by her to visit them all over the place.
The method is from the female family in the back house to the favored children of the next generation. It\'s just endless.
The more Jing and Di thought about it, the more angry they became, but Su Qing was his daughter-in-law, so he, a father-in-law, couldn\'t call someone over to reprimand him!
It stands to reason that this matter should be done by the queen, but considering the queen\'s temper, let\'s forget it.
Finally, he asked someone to call the prince over, and threw the stack of papers into the prince\'s arms:
"What a good wife you married! Tell me about her, what does this jumping up and down want to do? Is it possible that she wants to rebel and become the queen!"
The prince was also surprised when he saw the contents on the paper. But hearing what Jing and Di said, he still subconsciously wanted to defend Su Qing, but he opened his mouth but couldn\'t find a reason to intercede.
Seeing him like this, Jing and Di felt regretful in their hearts. They thought that Su Qing was just thinking too much, but now it seems. This thought is not only too much, it is almost overflowing.
"It\'s been almost a month since your wedding. After the crown prince\'s wedding, he should accept two good ladies into the East Palace. I think the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites is pretty good, with a gentle and sensible personality."
What he said is the truth, but the situation between him and the queen is there, so he didn\'t intend to put women in his son\'s room.
But now that it is like this, if he doesn\'t care anymore, he is afraid that Qi Yu will be eaten to death by Su Qing directly.
The prince quickly knelt down and shook his head to express his refusal:
"Father, Ah Qing did something wrong, I will punish her, but I promised her that she would not marry another woman."
Seeing him kneeling straight, his eyes are gentle but firm.
Seeing this, Jing and Di suddenly thought of their eldest son who died young, and it was the same. Whenever they decided on one thing, they had to go all the way to the dark.
He knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so he made the prince kneel for an hour with a deep voice, then he flung his sleeves and left without looking back.
The prince lowered his eyes, he knew what Su Qing did was wrong, but what can he do? He promised Su Qing that no matter what she wants to do in the future? He will support.
…
It wasn\'t until it was almost dark that the prince dragged his kneeling numb legs back to the East Palace.
At this moment, the main room was lit, and Su Qing was sitting at the table with a gentle smile waiting for him to eat. Seeing this scene, the prince swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Su Qing smiled and stepped forward to help him take off his robe, as usual, she cared if everything was fine when he was out today, and when the preparation was almost done, she took the prince\'s hand and said with a smile:
"I heard that the Chongwen Museum is recruiting servants, what do you think of Chu Yushi\'s son Chu Huan?"
The prince paused with his fingers, and then asked her with a smile: "Chu Huan is still too young, I\'m afraid it\'s inappropriate to be a servant! Why do you think of him?"
Su Qing didn\'t notice his abnormality, mainly because it happened too quickly, and she stayed in the East Palace all day long.
"There\'s nothing inappropriate about this. He won the first prize. And his father is Chu Yushi. In this way, Chu Yushi has been labeled as our East Palace."
