Peerless Pirates

The etiquette of the Shu envoy's audience was very complicated, and most of it was nonsense. In diplomatic work, there were a lot of official dialects, and serious matters were done in private. However, the Shu envoy sent Jiang Kui's body to Daqi, which still made many people happy.

People's attitudes have changed dramatically.

The whole interview process lasted for more than an hour. After that, Song Zheng, the envoy of Chengxuan, sent Tang off, and Xue and his two men went to the post house to rest. Next, Song Zheng, together with the Ministry of Rites, had final discussions on all matters concerning Qi Shu. Song Zheng

When Zheng was envoy to Shu, although many agreements were reached with Emperor Shu, they could not be implemented until the consent of the young emperor Pang Ying and the queen mother Huang Jiao.

After Song Zheng left the Taiji Hall, Pang Ying nodded slightly to Qian Mancai. Qian Mancai took two steps forward, cleared his throat, and was about to announce his resignation when he saw Wang Zhaogeng, the imperial censor, standing up. Qian Mancai's words were ambiguous.

It was in my mouth, so I had to swallow it again.

"What's going on with Wang Qing's family?" Pang Tong had no choice but to endure.

"I would like to invite your Majesty, Marshal Han Zhongzhaoxue." Wang Zhaogeng said loudly, and then raised a memorial above his head.[

Then he said: "Ten years ago, Marshal Han Zhong of the Qi Dynasty was imprisoned due to the defeat at Shuguan. It was said that the Marshal was not keeping secrets in his affairs, which led to the leakage of our army's plan to attack Shu. It was also rumored that Han Zhong had an affair with Western Shu. Han

Because of this, Marshal Zhong was imprisoned and finally died in prison. Everyone at that time thought he was unjust. In the next ten years, it was rumored that Marshal Zhong

The name still remains. Two years ago, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, Jiang Kui, fled to Shu. There were rumors that the person who leaked information to Shu was Jiang Kui. The return of Jiang Kui's body today is to review the Han Zhong case.

At that time, I asked my emperor, a man of high moral character and respect, to meet with the Ministry of Punishment to review Han Zhong’s case and rectify his name!”

Pang Ying's face was as dark as water. Only Qian Mancai saw that when Wang Zhaogeng just spoke, the little emperor's hands suddenly clenched. As Pang Tong spoke, the emperor's hands clenched tighter and tighter, until the joints

whitish.

Qian Mancai also understood why the emperor was angry. It was not that Han Zhong's case could not be vindicated. In fact, Pang Ying also wanted to vindicate Han Zhong. However, this matter had to be raised by the emperor himself, or the emperor signaled to someone

Officials raised the issue, and then the vindication was carried out smoothly.

Right now, rehabilitating Han Zhong is a great achievement. Pang Ying will officially take charge next year, and bringing this matter up with him can win people's hearts. You know, even though Han Zhong has been dead for ten years, he is still in the military.

The influence in the Han Dynasty is still huge. Many generals came from Han Zhong's sect and are all in office now.

Originally, the young emperor wanted to wait until the Shu envoys left, then he mentioned the matter and asked Song Zheng or others whom he valued to take the lead in Han Zhong's case. After the Han Zhong case was found out, the people responsible for the investigation could also use it.

After being promoted, some of the old forces involved in the case can be purged. As a result, it will be easier for the little emperor to control the military and political affairs.

What Pang Ying didn't expect was that he had a good plan, but was intercepted today, how could he not be angry? In fact, Song Zheng also planned this, and he got direct evidence from Jiang Kui.

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, when Prince Pang Hui had just died, someone came to this book to request that Han Zhong be rehabilitated. However, the young emperor did not respond. He only indicated that he knew about it and was not punishing the person who brought him to justice. As a result, the court ordered Han Zhong to be rehabilitated.

Many people also knew the little emperor's thoughts, so no one said anything about it.

Wang Zhaogeng, the censor of speech, didn't know what was going on in his head, or was being instigated by others, but he raised this matter immediately after the interview with the Shu envoy. You can imagine the anger in Pang Ying's heart.

After Wang Zhaogeng finished speaking, the little emperor motioned to the Qianmancai to present the memorial. He hid his anger by looking through the memorial.

After a long time of burning incense, Pang Ying finally regained her composure and said calmly, "Wang Yushi's memorial is very beautifully written. Since you mentioned this matter, you must have studied the Han Zhong case carefully, then you can tell me

, how did the Han Zhong case occur? Is there any solid evidence for his vindication? "

"The so-called case of Han Zhong's liaison with Xishu is considered unjust by the people. There are also different opinions on the details of the case. The culprit is Jiang Kui, which is one of the legends. As the censor, I have to remind His Majesty to investigate. As for the matter,

The actual evidence is Jiang Kui's corpse. Of course, in order to thoroughly investigate this case, a person with high moral character and high prestige should join forces with the Three Law Departments and the Censor to conduct a detailed investigation, and the truth will surely come to light."

What Wang Zhaogeng did was just talk, and blocked the little emperor's words: I am the censor, and I have the right to hear things and make suggestions. As for how to do it and who to do it, you are the emperor and you have the final say.

.

Pang Ying was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Old Duke, what do you think of this matter?"

Pang Tong stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Everything is determined by the Holy Will." What kind of person was he, he would not accept this problem.

"Dong Qing's family, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, what do you think? Shouldn't the Han Zhong case be reviewed immediately?" The little emperor emphasized the word "immediately".

Dong Lancheng didn't want to get involved in this matter, at least not now. But when the emperor called his name, he was the Minister of Punishment, so he couldn't avoid it, so he couldn't answer. After a moment of pause, he replied,

"The Han Zhong case is of great importance and has wide implications. It is better to be prudent and cautious in everything."

"Yes, the stakes are very important, so be cautious and prudent." Pang Ying repeated two sentences, raised her head and said loudly, "Who else wants to review the Han Zhong case besides Wang Yushi?"

The people in the court were all fine people, and they all saw the emperor's intention. Who would want to get into trouble? Wang Zhaogeng glanced at Pang Tong, only to see him lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, holding the wat in both hands, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Looks like this, I can't help but cry secretly.

Pang Ying snorted softly and said, "What Wang Yushi said just now seems like the whole world is crying out for Han Zhong. But now, except Wang Yushi, one person proposed to review Han Zhong's case. It can be seen that what Wang Yushi said is not

It’s a fact.”[

Wang Zhaogeng knelt on the ground, cursing in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. The emperor's authority was getting stronger and stronger. Although he didn't care about some small things, he was never ambiguous about big things. Now, no one is willing to take part in the major case involving Han Zhong.

Act against the emperor's will.

At this time, Guo Xingjia stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the first day of this year, the military has undergone huge changes due to the investigation of the issue of free pay, and personnel adjustments have been frequent. Not long ago, the Shuguan pay and silver case was re-examined, and it is still open to this day. And.

Recently, another case of Kaibao Bank occurred in Jiangning City, which caused different opinions. Now the Shu Ambassador

As soon as he arrived in Jiangning, Wang Yushi asked for a review of the Han Zhong case, which seemed inappropriate. Especially the Han Zhong case involved the military and was widely implicated. Reviewing it now would cause a new round of fluctuations. It was the old minister's suggestion that it might as well wait for a while.

After the Shu envoys return, or the Shuguan payment case comes to an end, it will not be too late to discuss the Han Zhong case again."

"Master Guo's proposal is a mature and prudent statement, and I second it." Dong Lancheng immediately replied.

"What Mr. Guo said is absolutely true, I agree with you!" Zhu Zhihua, the chief censor and supervisor of the censor, also said.

"I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!" All the big guys stood up.

Finally, with Duke Pangtong's "secondary proposal", the matter was finalized.

Pang Ying glanced down and saw everyone lowering their heads, so she stood up, shook her sleeves, and walked towards the back of the hall.

"Retreat from the imperial court!" Qian Manqian announced loudly, and then left immediately.

As soon as the emperor left, the courtiers started talking among themselves. Pang Tong didn't say a word, but turned around and walked out of the palace. The people next to him naturally moved out of the way to let Pang Tong go first.

"Bang!" In the West Room, a teapot broke into pieces. The money cabinet trembled in fright, and did not dare to say anything, but silently said in his heart: The eleventh day of this month.

Pang Ying has a bad temper. She likes to throw things when she is angry or doesn't go her way. It's either teacups or teapots, paperweights, inkstones, etc. She basically just throws whatever she catches. Among them, teacups and teapots are the most common, and these things fall to the ground.

Very crisp, better than others

The things made by Pang Ying are noisy, so they are the easiest target for Pang Ying to vent his anger. Fortunately, Pang Ying does not have high requirements for things, and the things he throws are not particularly expensive. Otherwise, with the speed of Pang Ying throwing things once a day on average, it would really be a big deal.

It costs a lot of money.

After throwing the things, Pang Ying sat behind the desk and sulked. As for Wang Zhaogeng's memorial, it had been torn to pieces before throwing the teapot.

Qian Mancai didn't dare to clean up at this time, otherwise Pang Ying would be even more angry. After about a cup of tea, Qian Mancai coughed lightly, and the little eunuch outside the door got the signal, stepped into the hall quietly, and cleaned the floor.

The slight cough when the cabinet is full of money is a signal to the door and the beginning of persuading the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to be so arrogant." Qian Mancai picked up the scraps of paper on the desks little by little, "Then Wang Zhaogeng is a fool. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty know what you are thinking. He is just talking nonsense.

.Why should the Holy One have the same knowledge as him?"

Qian Mancai observed Pang Ying's face as he spoke, "Actually, most of the ministers are sensible people. No, the Holy One asked a few words casually, and the ministers all followed His Majesty's words."

Pang Ying became calmer and said, "Tell me, did Wang Zhaogeng do this on purpose?"

"This slave doesn't dare to say nonsense. If I say something wrong, it will deceive the Holy Spirit."

"But it's okay to say it."

"Oh, if you mean it, it doesn't seem like it. Wang Zhaogeng is originally a censor, and some of his suggestions are normal. If you mean it, he doesn't seem to be in agreement with the Holy One, so he is reasonable."

"Everything I asked you to say is in vain." Pang Ying said angrily. After waiting quietly for a moment, Pang Ying started talking again, as if talking to herself, "I always feel that he seems to have other intentions.

Choose people with high moral character and high prestige

Leading the rehabilitation case? Huh, how many highly respected people are there? They all know that rehabilitating Han Zhong is a great achievement, and they all want to take a bite. This Wang Zhaogeng may be a pawn, sent out to test my tone."

Qian Mancai didn't dare to speak anymore, but just lowered his head to sort out the messed up cases. He knew in his heart that Pang Ying's thoughts were becoming more and more mature, and he rarely only looked at superficial phenomena. After all, Huang Yuandu had been teaching him to read memorials since he was a child.

, and having experienced this for so many years, my experience has naturally become more and more abundant.[

The little emperor is no longer young and no longer easily deceived.

Song Zheng learned about what happened in the court later and was very angry. Such a good thing was ruined just because of the wrong timing.
