Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 682 Just ask...

"This..." Mu Xiuning feigned hesitation, turned his head and looked at Zhan Mingxuan, neither of them dared to speak for a moment.

Seeing this, the emperor on the dragon chair understood immediately, laughed and tapped the faucet on the chair: "Haha, Mingxuan Mingyuan, you two don't need to be nervous, just say what you want."

"Whether it's a rare treasure or an official promotion, as long as what you ask for is in accordance with the etiquette and law, I will definitely satisfy your request—"

"If that's the case, then Mingxuan, I'll let you talk about it first—" The young man frowned, "You have stayed in the northern border gate longer than me, and your achievements are naturally greater than mine."

"Besides, haven't you been thinking about something in your heart all these years?" Little Gongye Mu lowered his voice slightly "intentionally", and sneaked a look at Zhan Mingxuan, "Otherwise, when you were in the northern border, you also You don’t have to work so hard.”

"This..." The latter walked down the slope, first pretending to hesitate for a moment, then took a big step across, and came out of the row.

"In that case, Your Majesty, please forgive me for my humble duty and disrespect." Zhan Mingxuan cupped his hands and closed his eyebrows, Mo Jingyao waved his sleeves in response: "It's okay, it's okay, if you have any ideas, you can speak up boldly, I agree, No one dares to care about your disrespect."

"Here." The young man nodded, then flipped the hem of his clothes, and suddenly knelt down on one knee.

All the courtiers around were startled by his outburst, and a few old courtiers were about to open their mouths and say something about this startled little bastard, when they saw the boy who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said in a low voice. I opened my mouth.

"Your Majesty, I don't want any rare treasures, nor do I want to get promoted and get rich."

"I just want to ask you to re-investigate the major treason case in Uncle Jingyang's mansion." Zhan Mingxuan raised his fist, his eyes were clear and firm, "Besides that, I have nothing else to ask for."

As soon as this remark was blurted out, it immediately aroused the astonishment of the whole court. When everyone looked at Zhan Mingxuan, they simply didn't know what kind of expression to put on.

——They thought that he would ask His Majesty for a modest rank and title, at least to free him and his sister Zhan Ninglu from their slavery.

No matter how bad it is, he will ask for more gold and silver treasures, official residences and private houses, so that he can find a place of his own, and then take Zhan Ninglu out of the Duke's mansion...

In the end, he actually wanted to re-investigate the big case in Uncle Jingyang's mansion so bluntly?
Although Zhan Shirong did intend to die for being wronged at the beginning... But the people in the Hou Mansion have always done things neatly, how can this matter be so easy to investigate?
What's more, the Hou's Mansion and the Xiang's Mansion have not yet collapsed. Is this young man tired of living?
All the ministers were full of surprise and uncertainty, but the emperor who was sitting in the dragon chair only slightly twitched his eyebrows when he heard this.

He half-lidded his eyelashes and pondered for a moment, raised his hand and stretched out his fingers, and crushed his chin: "You mean... the case of 'deceiving the emperor and intending to rebel' was impeached in the Jingyang uncle's mansion a few years ago? Bar?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhan Mingxuan nodded, "Your Majesty, since childhood, my father has taught me to be upright and honest to be an official. When I was training soldiers in the camp, I used to eat and live with the soldiers. .”

"The humble father has been an upright official all his life, and he has never had any grudges with others in the court, nor has he ever participated in any crony disputes. Therefore, I really can't believe that such a father would commit such a heinous crime. .”

"In addition, the case was concluded in a hurry, and there are still some strange things between the branches..."

"Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid my father was framed by others. Therefore, I only hope that Your Majesty will give you a grace to send someone to investigate the case carefully—"

"If we re-examine, the result will still remain the same. It was indeed the humble father who made a mistake at the beginning. The humble father will accept his fate and ask himself to leave Beijing to guard the frontier. After that, he will never return to Beijing forever."

The boy said as he bent the knee of the other leg, then bent down and kowtowed, with a solemn and serious expression: "But if the result changes, the humble father is indeed framed by someone—"

"Then please allow your majesty to allow the humble official to rehabilitate Zhan's family and give the Jingyang uncle's mansion a clear name!"

After Zhan Mingxuan finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the court for a moment, and everyone was stunned by his words, and they couldn't return to their senses for a long time.

Jingyang Bo Zhan Shirong... that is indeed a veteran who is upright and somewhat stubborn.

As the ministers thought about it, many of them subconsciously squinted their eyes.

Most of the people who can stand on the Golden Luan Hall at this moment are old people who have been in the court for some years. Naturally, they knew Uncle Jingyang in the past, and they also personally experienced the big "rebellion" case in Uncle Jingyang's mansion.

That case almost split the former dynasty into three factions.

——A group of civil servants headed by Anping Houfu and Xiangfu decided that Zhan Shirong had the intention of rebellion; while a group of military generals with Jingyangbo's subordinate generals as the core, would rather die than stand by Zhan's as a frame for others .

As for the Duke's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion—as the emperor's close ministers, and their actions have always represented His Majesty's attitude, it is naturally not easy to take sides in this matter.

So he had to follow the faction of neutral courtiers who did not want to get involved in the feud between the DPRK and China, and stood outside the dispute.

Afterwards, the case went on for two full months and almost turned the entire court upside down.

Emperor Yunjing had no choice but to order the case to be closed in a hurry, and accused Zhan Shirong of "suspected of treason", ransacked the uncle's mansion, beheaded Uncle Jingyang, and enslaved his two sons and daughters. But they never severely punished the offshoot of the Zhan clan, let alone expelled Zhan Mingxuan's brother and sister from Beijing.

Thinking about it this way...it might be tricky to say this——

The courtiers who had figured it out couldn't help shivering. Some old courtiers who had a good relationship with Zhan Shirong before even planned to say something nice for Zhan Mingxuan.

Just when everyone was full of thoughts, hesitating and not knowing how to speak, a high-pitched and slightly sharp voice suddenly cut through the dead silence of the hall.

"Ridiculous!" Liu Wen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, shouted angrily, "At the beginning, your father, Uncle Jingyang, deceived the emperor and rebelled, and the evidence is convincing - this is something that His Majesty personally confirmed back then, so what is so strange about it!"

"Now that you are forcing His Majesty to re-examine this matter, aren't you saying that His Majesty mistrusted villains and wronged loyal ministers in the past—isn't this slapping His Majesty in the face in public?"

"Your Majesty Liu's words are wrong," Zhan Mingxuan rolled his eyes, and said in a cold voice, with no signs of panic and panic on his face, "The case was closed in a hurry at that time, how do you know that your Majesty has never committed a crime in his heart?" Whisper?"

After returning to the Duke's mansion yesterday, Mu Xici rehearsed for him dozens of situations that they might encounter today, and helped him think of the words to deal with them in advance.

Therefore, when Liu Wen refuted his request in court today, instead of feeling panicked, he was extremely relaxed.

——Miss is indeed the most powerful.

The young man thought to himself, but his face did not show the slightest bit. He sank his eyes, and there was a little anger between his brows: "Furthermore—you said that my father conspired against you, and the evidence is conclusive. Then Mingxuan is here." I couldn't help but want to ask Mr. Liu."

"May I ask Mr. Liu, which piece of evidence was there back then that is conclusive?"
