Chapter 380: Confrontation in court
In the face of gossip, everyone in Jing’ an marquis house kept quiet and refused to respond.
However, rumors were so loud that the emperor looked at the hard evidence and was very angry. The prince argued a few words for Jing’ an marquis house in his command, but was scolded by the emperor.
King Yu took the opportunity to say that he hoped to find out the truth of the matter. If it was true, such a big act of disobedience must be severely punished. If it was false, he would give Jing’ an marquis house an innocence.
The Prince hatred in the heart, people were dead, how could they prove it? How to check?He was very worried about it.
The emperor was deeply impressed. After all,Jing’ an marquis was a court minister and he had countless achievements.He could not be wronged, but if he did, the influence would be too bad, so he called Jing ‘an marquis to the royal study room and was ready to ask by himself.
Xia Zhuofeng was waiting for this opportunity, let Chunli first to the Zixiao Palace, waiting to arrange the arrangement.
In the royal study room, The prince ,King Yu and several censors of censorate were presented.
The emperor gloomily glared at Xia Zhuofeng and said slowly, ” Lord Shen, tell the duke what you found.”
Lord Shen was the censor of the censorate. He had been working overtime and collecting evidence all over the place as if he had beaten chicken blood. He thought he was sure to give Jing’ an marquis a good look.
” I followed the instructions.” Lord Shen arched his hands and looked like two sharp knives at Jing ‘an marquis, who was as peaceful as Taishan Mountain.
Xia Zhuofeng licked his ears and straightened his back to listen.
Lord Shen began to spit on the sin of Jing’an marquis house, and his words were sharp and the momentum was like a rainbow.
“, the iron card is like a mountain, what else can you say?” Shen Daren hated the geological question.
” The duke, irrefutable evidence, do you have anything to say? ” asked Lord Shen, hating geology.
Xia Zhuofeng cleared his throat and bowed his hand to the emperor. He slowly swallowed: “The trivial things in my home pollute the holy listener, and I am afraid.”
The opposition’s speeches on the scene were all happy. They thought: You should admit it. It was powerless and useless in the face of powerful facts.
The emperor just wanted to be angry, only to listen to Xia Zhuofeng’s painful words: “This kind of nonsense, I did not want to respond, but the people of censorate have abolished a lot of effort, collecting so many so-called evidence is not easy, the old minister I have to give them a statement.”
” Yes, the son liked a girl and it was originally intended to be a concubine, but the girl didn’t like it, and it was during the pregnancy that the daughter-in-law ,so he released the girl from the house. However, the son really liked her and was loathe to give up, so he secretly placed people outside and looked at it occasionally. Later, the daughter-in-law knew that,she was really angry and went to the outer residence to verify it, which was understandable even if she fought with her.”Xia Zhuofeng was calm and leisurely.
“Lord Shen, you don’t also have a few rooms concubine’s in the home?I heard that the family often quarrels. Last year, you loved the girl in the Drunk Red Mansion again. Your wife almost smashed the Drunk Red Mansion. Is that the case?I remember correctly, didn’t I?”
Shen’s face turned red when he was suddenly uncovered.
” And Lord Wei, your son, aged 17, heard that he is already a regular visitor to Wangxian Building and often fights with others for jealousness , right?”
“Lord Gao, I also heard that you liked your grandson’s servant girl. You want the servant girl to be your side concubine. Your grandson has left home and has not returned yet, right?”
Xia Zhuofeng looked at the past one by one and revealed the old story one by one.
Several adults were flushed and convulsed, but they could not be refuted.
The emperor’s face was dripping with water, and he looked at the three censorships in disdain.You didn’t behave properly and still dared to speak out and criticized others here?The face was too thick.
The prince smiled, and the duke knew so much.
King Yu’s heart was annoyed. A group of useless wastes had not brought down the people yet, and he was the first to make a mess of himself.
Xia Zhuofeng smiled happily: “All of you are both moral and moral. Compared with you, my son is too pure. For so many years, he just has seen a gimmick in my house. I will go back to criticize him. Let him learn and study like the adults, why no one else has made such a big move, but he just looked at the girl,but coming to the holy place.”
Lord Shen were not fuel-efficient lamps either, and immediately retorted: ” the duke should not avoid the heavy and neglect the light. what he is talking about now is to make the prince clamor for concubinage during the national funeral. children are the best evidence.”
The emperor looked at Xia Zhuofeng again.
Xia Zhuofeng said, ” Are you clamoring for concubinage?The medicine should not be taken indiscriminately and the words should not be blather. When did my son say he would take concubinage?Although m son is useless, he still knows the minimum etiquette. Even if he borrows 100 courage, he can’t make a fuss about concubinage during the national funeral. Is he think his life is too long?In exchange for you, will you?”
” But it’s true,” said the Lord Gao confidently.
” Facts?The fact is that the so-called witnesses you have casually called say a few words of nonsense?”The tone of Xia Zhuofeng suddenly froze and hardened.
Arched his hands to the emperor: ” the emperor, since he said this, I really wants to take a serious view. the evidence given by the censorate is absurd and untrustworthy.”
King Yu said slowly, ” the duke said the evidence of the censorate is absurd and untrustworthy. Can the duke have evidence to prove it?”
” That is, we censorate have always done the things based on evidence. Those witnesses are neighbors, and all confessions have been seen with their own eyes and heard with their ears. They have no cause or enmity with you in Jing ‘an marquis house. Will they have wronged you?” Lord Wei said.
” The duke said that the evidence of the censorate is not credible. The duke did come up with evidence!” The Lord Gao chimed in.
Xia Zhuofeng sneered, ” Of course, there is evidence. Now the son is outside. Let him explain the matter himself.”
King Yu sneered at the bottom of his heart. Cui Yan were gone. Did you still make it clear?
Xia Chunli was passed in.
Xia Chunli rarely had a chance to see the emperor, so close, and a special interview was never held, so he was somewhat nervous.
Such nervousness was seen by others as a sign of guilty conscience.
” The rebellious son, still not quick to kneel down and make things clear by himself,” Xia Zhuofeng growled. He did not dare to display his lion roar in front of the emperor.
Xia Chunli’s legs softened and he trembled and said, ” Back to the emperor, I … I am guilty.”
The emperor said impatiently, ” Why are you guilty? ”
To this eldest son of Jing ‘an marquis house, the emperor was all kinds of despises, he was obsequious, unlike Chunyu and Chunfeng, they were magnanimous and aboveboard.
Xia Chunli stammered, ” I am very scared because of my sin, which worries the emperor about my personal affairs.”
” I did like Cui Yan, a maid, and wanted to wait until his wife Qiao gave birth,then trying to admit her to the door, but Qiao had knew this matter, saw Qiao so sad and angry, and I regretted and felt that I shouldn’t do this. Cui Yan was encouraged to come to the door, which made me feel that Cui Yan was a woman who didn’t know the general principles, I didn’t want such a woman, I gave her a settlement fee and let her leave. Cui Yan said she was pregnant at the time, and I thought it was her trick, so didn’t take it to heart, until later I knew she was really pregnant.Now I’m very tangled. I don’t want such a woman. I want a virtuous wife, and so do concubines.Not every woman can go to the house, but she has the kid of me. I am quite embarrassed… the emperor, what do you think?”
The emperor listened to the upset and was about to take a sip of tea to relieve his boredom. But Xia Chunli asked such a question that he almost spit out the tea.
This kind of shit to ask me what to do?He managed everything day by day, Should he also care about such a broken thing as you?But on second thought, what was he doing with such great fanfare to challenge him face to face, didn’t in charge of broken things?
The emperor was very depressed.
The prince asked, ” Chunli, what do you mean is that Cui Yan was pregnant when she came to make trouble? ”
Chunli nodded sorrowfully: ” It’s been more than four months now, almost five months.”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking.
As long as Cui Yan was not pregnant during the national funeral, it was also somebody else’s family things, which minister, which princely children were not three wives and four concubines, what was the big deal?It was also worth going to the front of the holy ?
” You’re nonsense. A doctor has proved that Cui Yan is only three months pregnant at present. There’s a medical certificate here. You can’t deny it,” Lord Shen threatened.
Xia Chunli looked at Lord Shen stupefied: ” Lord Shen, when did Cui Yan get pregnant,are you clear or am I clear?”
Er … Lord Shen choked and said angrily.” Can the doctor’s diagnosis be wrong? ”
” That’s not necessarily. There are many bad doctors. Which doctor is so terrible?Even a few months of pregnancy could not be diagnosed. The Medical Department should deprive him of his medical qualification so as not to harm people. ” Chun Li angrily said.
The prince gave a glance at King Yu, a face of certainty, and laughed in his heart.He was afraid he throwing stones at his own feet this time.
What was the fuel-efficient lamp in Jing ‘an marquis house?Could you not prepare?
” Then please royal hospital doctor to diagnose Cui Yan?Otherwise, no one can say clearly. “Lord Gao said.
Xia Zhuofeng pretended to be amazed: “Hey? Didn’t you just say that we have killed the people in Jing’an marquis house? People have killed, how is it diagnosed?”
“If you are not guilty, can you kill people? Isn’t it just to prevent face-to-face verification?” Lord Shen said righteously, and finally got to their death point, look at what to do next.
King Yu’s eyelids jumped straight, and the intuition told him that this was a bad thing.
Xia Chunli retorted, ” Who told you that Cui Yan was killed by us?She is pregnant with my bone and blood, tiger poison does not feed on children. I am not like you, and you do everything for your own benefit.”
” Oh, I know, is Liu Li said right?She once hid Cui Yan and asked Cui Yan to do what she wanted. Fortunately, Cui Yan was not stupid enough to be hopeless and escaped when she knew that Liu Li was hostile. ” Xia Chunli looked at several adults with disdain.
Under this, everyone was dumbfounded. Several adults looked at Yu Wang in the same place and complained in their hearts that Yu Wang ah Yu Wang, your news was definitely not allowed.It was too harmful to us.
