Chapter 614 Please Abolish the Queen
What does it mean to sit in your house in a closed door, and disaster comes from heaven!
Chai Shouli is like this. He obviously did nothing, but just coaxed his grandson at home, which caused a disaster. Chai Zongrang was very popular. People are relatives of different generations, and Chai Shouli wanted to give all the best to his grandson.
A while ago, the palace sent a handwritten letter saying that it was to prepare to let the second prince leave the palace and it needed some money. The palace was not rich now... Chai Shouli took out a thousand taels of red gold without saying a word. But who would have thought that in less than half a month, this thousand taels became the account that eunuch Zhou De'an bribed Hou Guang, the nephew of Privy Councillor Hou Yi!
What the hell is going on?
Chai Shouli was confused, but he thought it very clearly. Since it had something to do with the palace, he should do everything possible to take over the matter. In short, he should not lose the face of the emperor.
Chai Shouli asked someone to send his grandson to Ye's mansion and stay there temporarily. He was alone, facing inquiries from the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.
"Teacher Chai, you once sent a thousand taels of gold to the palace? Is there anything wrong?"
"have!"
"Who did you give it to?"
"Eunuch Zhou De'an!"
"Why give it to him?"
"Why?" Chai Shouli paused and suddenly sneered, "What else can I do? I miss my son, so I'm looking for someone to keep an eye on it and send me more messages if I have nothing to do. Can't it be?"
The official face of the Ministry of Justice was longer than a donkey, "Teacher Chai, you are peeping at the big net, making friends with the castrated man and making misconduct!"
Chai Shouli grinned, smiling brightly, "Whatever you think! If you want to punish me, go and ask for an imperial edict?"
"you!"
In one sentence, the officials of the Ministry of Justice were speechless.
Everyone in this world will rebel, but Chai Shouli doesn’t. It’s really hard to deal with the big hat to suppress him!
At this time, Zhao Shangjiao, the old minister representing the Censorate, suddenly said: "Teacher Chai, I heard that someone in the palace gave you a handwritten order, and you gave the gold to Zhou De'an. Who was the one who gave you the handwritten order?"
"have no idea!"
Chai Shouli said decisively: "It's just a thousand taels of gold, can you do a handwriting? To be honest, the toilets in my house are all gold... Otherwise, you two will go and have a look!"
Zhao Shangjiao's face turned green and he coughed, "Teacher Chai, let me tell you clearly. The censor Zhang Shi said that the hand order was given to you by the imperial concubine, and asked you to take out a thousand taels of gold to bribe the Privy Councilor Hou Yihou. What do you say?"
After Zhao submitted a question, he stared at Chai Shouli, hoping to get some useful news.
But Chai Shouli was really a solid piece of iron. He smiled slightly: "First of all, the imperial concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed, and I have prepared 10,000 taels of gold as a gift. Secondly, I want Hou Yi to help, why don't I just send money? Is it necessary to transfer it through a eunuch?"
The official from the Ministry of Justice immediately asked: "Teacher Chai, as you say, do you think that Zhang Yu and Censor Zhang have falsely accused you?"
Chai Shouli shrugged, "I have long been used to rumors, so I don't want him to... In short, if you are willing to investigate, go find Zhang Shi to ask the source of the order... If you don't believe me, arrest me, and torture me, or torture me as a warning, as you please!"
Zhao Shangjiao is an old qualification and an old fox. When he found that Chai Shouli was indifferent, he had to admit defeat.
"Since Taifu Chai is unwilling to pursue the matter, we will find a way to close the case as soon as possible. There is enough trouble in the court, so it's better to restore peace as soon as possible!"
...
The inquiry was over, but Chai Shouli didn't feel happy at all. He was far less relaxed than he seemed.
Of course, the handwriting was true, or was sent by the imperial concubine, but the question is why the handwriting fell into Zhang Wei's hands. It was obvious that one thousand taels of gold was to welcome the grandson home, but how did the cost of bribing Hou Yi? Also, what did the imperial concubine bribing Hou Yi for?
Could it be for the Six-Rank of the East Palace?
Even so, the methods are too rough, right? How could it be so easy to reveal the stuff?
What exactly went wrong?
Is it a mistake or someone else is making a mistake?
Chai Shouli was full of doubts, so he decided to go to Ye’s house to have an idea from Ye Hua… At this moment, Concubine Fu was full of fear and came to her sister’s palace. As soon as she met, she knelt on the ground and sobbed: “Sister, my little sister is incompetent, please punish me!”
Queen Fu knew that the news was leaked and was so angry that she was so angry that her sister was pregnant with a dragon seed and did not dare to let her kneel on the cold ground, so she quickly asked someone to help her up and sit down beside her.
"It's not that my sister said to you, just such a little thing can't be done well?"
Concubine Fu sobbed and said, "It's my younger sister who is incompetent. Hou Yi is an old minister of the dynasty. He can't touch his heart at any time. There is nothing good in the younger sister's palace. When the second prince happened to leave the palace, I thought of a stupid solution. Everyone knows that Taifu Chai is rich. I want to borrow some from him. Who knows that he will leave and reveal the news. The younger sister really didn't expect... Sister, how could that Zhang Li get the handout?"
Concubine Fu first took herself clean, then said lightly and turned the topic to other things. She was really capable. Queen Fu didn't notice it, but followed her sister's thoughts: "Is it because of the wind that was exposed from Taifu Chai... something is wrong. Why did Taifu Chai cause trouble for himself? He wouldn't just use such inappropriate methods for a little money, right?"
Concubine Fu thought about it carefully, and then said, "Sister, can you say that the people around Taifu Chai are unreliable?"
"This..." Queen Fu fell into deep thought. The most common people around Chai Shouli were the people who were managing business affairs. Some were from the Chai family, some were borrowed from Fu San, and some were recruited from the Dazhou Academy... and the couple were the other ones!
Could it be that they repeatedly and repeatedly prevented the prince from organizing the formation of the Six-Ranking of the Eastern Palace?
Don’t forget that Zhang Shi was a surrendered minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and perhaps it had something to do with Ye Hua. He was so determined to prevent the establishment of the Six Rings of the Eastern Palace and weaken the prince’s wings. He was really good at it!
Gradually, Queen Fu thought about it more and more and more and more, and the resentment in her eyes became stronger and stronger.
She didn't realize that the handwriting could flow out of another person's hand, that was her second sister!
After all, no one will take the initiative to cause trouble. Second sister is not a fool, why do you cause trouble for yourself?
"Sister, my sister made a big mistake this time and caused a big disaster. Please don't care about my sister. What's the anger of the saint? Just come to my sister!"
Concubine Fu said, and started crying in a low voice.
Queen Fu pondered and said, "No matter what, you are doing things for me. My sister will not let you suffer any losses. I will have a solution!" After all, Queen Fu made a quick decision and ordered her subordinates to give Zhou De'an a bottle of crane red, which resulted in this disaster.
"Zhou Dean died, and he died of bleeding from seven orifices in the Heavenly Prison!"
Ye Hua heard this news and said nothing for a long time. As the champion Hou, Ye Hua's strength is very huge. There is only one place where he cannot intervene, that is, the deep palace! Ye Hua is also very restrained and does not surpass the duties of a minister. But the deep palace is full of turbulence and changes, openly grabbing hidden arrows, thunder storms, brewing from time to time... "Zhou Dean must die, but not at this time! I think it is either the queen is stupid or terrible, or someone intends to harm her!"
Ye Hua said bluntly: "If I was not wrong, from the beginning, this person's target would not be Brother Xing, nor the prince, but the queen!"
"Queen?"
"That's right... As long as you take down the throne, the child you give birth to is a legitimate legitimate son. You can slowly try it and don't worry about running out of the throne of prince!" Ye Hua couldn't help but exclaim, "Great, you're so smart. Your Majesty is in full swing, and two furry children are worth fighting? They are planning to be the throne, and this is extraordinary!"
Fu San took a deep breath, lowered her head, silent. The second sister was the closest to the back position. Could it be that she plotted against the eldest sister and asked the eldest sister to come step by step to this day... Killing people to silence her, sister, you are so confused, how can you do such a thing?
Perhaps even Zhou Dean didn't expect that he, a mere eunuch, would make such a big noise! So many people could stand up for him and laugh at him!
The first ones to fire were the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate. These two yamen handled the cases. Now that important witnesses are dead, the case cannot be handled. Should they be held accountable?
These two yamen are not responsible for taking the blame!
They immediately wrote a letter jointly requesting a thorough investigation of Zhou De'an's death!
Just before they wrote the letter, the Privy Councilor Hou Yi said he could not get sick, so he wrote a letter to Chai Rong. The old man felt very wronged. From beginning to end, he didn't know what was going on. Hou Guang was his distant nephew. He had no contact with him, but he actually framed him for being greedy. He was in his seventies and had never lived so embarrassingly!
In a word, without justice, he will never go to court!
Hou Yi's statement touched the Political Affairs Hall, and no one can pretend to be confused now.
After turning around the great court meeting, all the ministers in the court came.
Even Ye Hua is here.
As soon as he arrived, Wei Renpu came over. The two of them didn't say anything, but their eyes were squirting. Old Wei asked, how could he take the lead? Zhou Dean should die, but he must be allowed to take all the charges. Nothing was tried now. Isn't this difficult for me to do?
Ye Hua ignored Lao Wei’s complaints, it was just a meaning, can he suppress it?
Old Wei was in trouble. Of course, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, it can still be suppressed. Anyway, Han Tong's army had just attacked Hanzhong and raised a topic at will, such as taking over Bashu, which would make the court liven up for several months. Old Wei was very skilled in playing these methods!
Ye Hua agreed.
After the ministers saluted His Majesty the Emperor, the Censor Zhang Wei was the first to jump out, "I have reported to Your Majesty. I have handed over a copy of the handicap a few days ago. Now I have the original copy of the handicap, and a suicide note written by Zhou De'an. I dare to present it to Your Majesty!"
