Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 330

After hearing Su Chen's story, Zhou Jiamin's face changed slightly. Sister Qingqing... What could happen to her?With such high martial arts skills, whoever provokes her will be the one who is unlucky!

"Officials usually don't review memorials in Chengxin Hall, but take care of my sister in Yaoguang Hall!"

"Take me there to look for it. If there is something urgent, I will tell you on the way!"

"Okay!" Zhou Jiamin agreed immediately, and took the lead to Yaoguang Hall.

However, this trip was in vain, the Yaoguang Palace was quiet as usual, and after the big week, he was falling asleep, recuperating and resting.

"The official family is not here, let's go to Chengxin Hall to have a look." Zhou Jiamin was familiar with the imperial palace, and took Su Chen to Chengxin Hall again.

Chengxin Hall is located on the west side of the inner garden of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the early days of its establishment, it was an ordinary palace complex. It used to be the banquet and residence of the main character Li Jing.

The central lord, Li Jing, also summoned scribes to be in charge of sorting out classics and writing articles, and sometimes also brought in scholars and important officials to engage in the activities of calling and asking politics, which made the hall begin to have a political function.

The rise of Chengxintang is closely related to factors such as the character of the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the rise of party struggles, changes in the distribution of power between internal and external courts, and the rapid expansion of the power of the Privy Council.Li Jing himself lacks sufficient political wisdom, iron-blooded skills, and imperial ability, and is unable to cope with the pressure of party struggles and the expansion of foreign power. Discuss around.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he raised the status of Chengxintang even more, making it once the actual center, equivalent to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.The emperor chose many scholars in Chengxintang to call for consultations, participate in political discussions, and discuss state affairs. Among them, those who directly declared orders and made final decisions on political affairs were called Chengxintang Chengzhi, whose power was once greater than that of the prominent privy envoys.

At this time, Li Yu was sitting in the main hall of Chengxin Hall, and was reviewing a batch of new memorials recently brought by the chief eunuch Feng Jian. After flipping through them, Li Yu saw the memorial of the impeachment of Peng Zeliang, and the Cha family sued Peng Qingqing for murder crime.

"Peng Qingqing... killed the young son of the Cha family by mistake, and the people of the Cha family and the Song party took the opportunity to impeach Peng Zeliang's goddaughter Wufang, and demanded that he be impeached as the governor of Jiangning..."

Li Yu frowned after reading this, and was shocked by this incident.

The Peng family didn't have an accident early or late, but it happened at this juncture. A large number of officials wrote a letter demanding the impeachment of Peng Zeliang, which would inevitably cause a storm in the court.

"Officials, are you in trouble again?" Feng Jian stood aside, seeing Li Yu's sad and thoughtful expression,

"Su Chen's fiancée, Peng Qingqing, beat Zha Wenhui's young son, Zha Yuanshang, to death by mistake in the street. Now the Zha family has sued the imperial court before my desk, and the rest are just the impeachment of Peng Zeliang's goddaughter. I think I can't suppress it, after all, human life is at stake, but after dealing with Peng Qingqing, Su Chen inevitably has a grudge, the illness of the prince and queen... is currently being treated by him..." Li Yu expressed his worries.

After Feng Jian heard the words, his brows trembled slightly, and he heard the key point.

Although Zha Wenhui has been dead for a few years, the remaining party is still there, and there are many disciples and party members. This time, if it is really the Cha family who is in charge, the officials cannot forcefully suppress it. Otherwise, what will be the law in the future?

But at present, the illnesses of the Second Prince and Empress Zhou need Su Chen to treat them. At a critical moment, if the officials don't show favoritism, then Su Chen will have resentment in his heart. As long as he doesn't try his best, it is very likely that the prince and queen may not be able to save them all. Gotta come.

"Look at that Su Chen, he has a kind heart, he shouldn't be that kind of person!" Feng Jian said softly.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Who knows for sure, people's hearts are the most untestable, and I don't want to gamble with the lives of the prince and queen!"

Feng Jian nodded and said no more. As the chief executive, when he should say something, his heart is like a mirror. At this time, keeping silent and not standing in line is the way to protect yourself wisely.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in to report outside the door, Princess Zhou and Su Chen came to ask for an audience.

"It's really here!" Li Yu sighed softly, he was a little embarrassed now, if Su Chen asked him directly to pardon Peng Qingqing, how should he reply?

Feng Jian said: "Officials, why don't I say that you have left the palace?"

Li Yu sighed and said: "I can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day. I can't just hide away recently. Let's summon him in. Let's see what Su Chen said first. If he really disregards the king's laws and orders, ask me to forgive him." Fiancée, then it is considered that I misjudged the person, embarrassment is of great use!"

Feng Jian nodded, turned around and went out of the palace gate to summon Su Chen and Princess Zhou.

In an instant, the three of them walked into Chengxin Hall slowly.

"The grassroots pay their respects to the officials!"

"Jiamin has met the emperor's brother-in-law."

Both Su Chen and Zhou Jiamin performed the etiquette.

Li Yu looked as usual, pretending to be ignorant of Qingqing's case, and said with a smile: "Su Chen, you just left at noon, it's only been less than an hour, why did you enter the palace again, and hurried to Chengxin Hall You came to see me, but you thought of a new method that can cure the prince's illness?"

With an anxious expression on his face, Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "Going back to the official's house, Cao Min entered the palace this time not because of the prince's illness, but... but because of another urgent matter, to see the official's house."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Yu pretended to be indifferent, took a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly, observed Su Chen's expression and behavior through the gap between the teacup and the tea cover, and looked at him What to say next.

Su Chen stated: "To the official family, Peng Qingqing, Caomin's fiancée, who is also the daughter of Pengfu Yin, acted bravely in the street yesterday and stopped the dandy Cha Yuanshang from committing murder, but unexpectedly, the dandy Cha family returned home, He actually died the next day! The Cha family filed a complaint to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At noon, the arresting officers of the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested Qingqing and put him in jail. But Cao Min felt that something was wrong and that Cha Yuanshang's death had nothing to do with Qingqing directly. , There may be a big conspiracy behind it, so I beg the officials, in addition to allowing the three divisions to interrogate, allow Caomin and the imperial doctor of the Shangyao Bureau to participate in it, carefully examine the corpse of Cha Yuanshang, investigate the real cause of death, and restore Peng Qingqing's innocence justice!"

After listening to Li Yu, he became suspicious. Originally, halfway through Su Chen's speech, he thought that Su Chen would use the credit for saving the prince and queen to ask the officials to pardon Qingqing as a bargaining chip. Li Yu was thinking about what to do. Avoiding the serious and taking the light, it's like a compromise, to lighten Qingqing's charges, to appease Su Chen, but also to give the Cha family an explanation.

He was thinking about such headaches, but he didn't expect that what Su Chen said later, he directly defended Qingqing, saying that Cha Yuanshang's death had nothing to do with Qingqing, but had other conspiracy.

Recently, the word "conspiracy" has made Li Yu very sensitive, because the ambushes and murder of the decree delivery team and the poisoning of the second prince are all vivid in my mind. The family and the royal family shrouded it, so Li Yu had to be cautious.

"You... see what's wrong?" Li Yu asked curiously.

Su Chen explained: "That's right, when Qingqing tried to teach Zha Yuanshang a lesson, Cao Min was right in front of her, and the strength she used was not fatal at all, so there are only two possibilities, one is that Zha Yuanshang died of his own disease , After being taught by Qingqing, the dude felt that he had lost face, and was so angry that he might die if he returned home and suffered from stubborn diseases, such as congenital heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc. Another possibility is that someone gave Cha Yuan two rewards. This time, he intentionally blamed Peng Qingqing, not only to make Su Chen unhappy, but also aimed at Jiangning's position as governor."
