MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 96
The latest story of Mr. Xiaoyao, coupled with the real situation outside Bamianshufang, Qiqi pushed the case of Wei Jingshi's occupation of the Zhao family's inheritance to the people of the capital.
Under the eager attention of the people in the city, the Jingzhao Mansion also knew that it had a heavy responsibility, and immediately stepped up the handling of the case.
Although it is a long time ago, fortunately, the official who handled the case is still there. After some investigation, the result was quickly found out——
Sure enough, the matter of Zhao Hairong's establishment of an heir was all forged by Wei Jingshi alone, and the official seals on the documents he held were also stamped privately by the original officials after accepting his bribes.
In view of this situation, the Jingzhao government had to overturn the wrong case more than 20 years ago and try it again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, another clerk in Bamian Bookstore took the initiative to report, saying that Wei Jingshi was engaged in malicious competition recently, not only spreading rumors that Mr. Xiaoyao was a woman, so as to lead readers to attack Mr. Xiaoyao, but also paying a lot of money to buy the Young Master Xiaoyao's news, in vain attempt to do further detrimental things to Young Master Xiaoyao.
As soon as the news came out, the people in the city came to a sudden realization, no wonder some people always said that Young Master Xiaoyao was a woman a while ago, and it turned out that this unscrupulous dog thief maliciously framed him behind his back.
For a while, the people in the capital became more and more disgusted with this person, and angry readers who liked Mr. Xiaoyao came to express their emotions outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, demanding that the officials must severely punish such villains.
Under such pressure, the Jingzhao Mansion naturally did not dare to procrastinate, and quickly made a judgment—
He ordered Wei Jingshi to change his name back to his original name, and immediately returned all the occupied property to Zhao's family. He was sentenced to sixty sticks for forging documents, bribing officials, and maliciously framing, and was exiled to the border after the beating.
Seeing that the wicked will finally be rewarded, the common people cheered one after another.
The governor of Jingzhao also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reported the results to the court.
— Cough, after all, it was Ouchi's guards who led the Zhao family to report the crime that day. You can tell at a glance that His Majesty is paying attention to this matter.
On the second day, in the court hall, some officials also took the initiative to report the results of the case to the king, and suggested that the local government offices retry the past unjust, false and wrong cases, so as to correct the public.
Hearing this, Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "It's worth considering. After deployment, the local governments will start self-examination."
Everyone immediately responded, but the king asked again, "I heard that this person deliberately released news that Young Master Xiaoyao is a woman, and took the opportunity to stir up people's emotions and try to hit him. I want to know what you love about this matter." ?”
It was rare for the king to ask something irrelevant to the important affairs of the family and the country in the court hall. As soon as the words came out, all the ministers immediately expressed their opinions.
Someone said, "This is naturally because this person has a vicious mind, but I think that those who were encouraged by him to insult Young Master Xiaoyao should also come out to express their apologies to Young Master Xiaoyao at this time. He is a talented man who has written so many wonderful stories. How could it be a woman? How could these people be so easily inspired?"
As soon as these words came out, many people nodded.
— Cough, everyone knows that Young Master Xiaoyao is a big celebrity in the court, not only the Queen Mother likes his book the most, but it is very likely that he was ordered by the emperor to write it.
So, isn't protecting Young Master Xiaoyao the same as maintaining the dignity of the royal family?
So this flattery has to be shot!
At this moment, Zou Mozhong, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, came forward and said, "I dare to think that this person has made a mistake. This matter has nothing to do with men and women at all. Even if Young Master Xiaoyao is really a woman, wouldn't the words she wrote be different? Take Chen as an example, what Chen likes is that the stories he writes are different, obviously absurd and outrageous, but they can always find their prototypes in reality, and when you feel that things are difficult to achieve in reality, the stories of Young Master Xiaoyao are always It can help everyone. If this Young Master is really a woman, I will admire her even more."
The voice fell, but the king couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "How do you say this?"
Zou Mo said in the middle, "Your Majesty, after all, since ancient times, women's reading has been restricted, and their actions are limited to the back house and the boudoir. Under such an environment, if a woman can have such a vision and write so many colorful stories , the fluent sentences are certainly admirable."
As soon as these words came out, not only the king nodded, but many ministers also nodded.
In particular, Lu Kaihe, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, even took the initiative to agree, "Master Zou said exactly what I think. To tell you the truth, I also like the story of Young Master Xiaoyao very much, because he dares to expose the truth and call goodness in the story. Good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded with evil. Let me ask you, there are always many injustices in this world, if there is no Young Master Xiaoyao to expose it to us, who would know?"
"For example, in the current case of the Zhao family's inheritance, a small Jingzhao government official can stamp the document without asking Zhao Hairong's own opinion, which eventually led to the Jingzhao government's wrongful judgment and the Zhao family's property. It has also been occupied by outsiders for decades. If there is no Mr. Xiaoyao, no one will know about this matter, and the property of the Zhao family will always fall into the hands of the villain surnamed Wei. Now such a wrong case has been exposed in the pen of Mr. Xiaoyao. The world calls for evil to be rewarded with evil, so can we hate and be thankful because the one who upholds justice is a woman?"
"Therefore, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Xiaoyao's character, and the Jingzhao government should award him a title of righteous man as a sign of encouragement.
After Mr. Lu finished speaking impassionedly, he attracted a lot of praise.
After all, this Lord Shangshu seldom talks so much, but after listening to it this time, I realized that he is very eloquent, which is surprising.
But Yu Wenlan thought to herself, Yan Shu must be very happy if she could know what Lu Kaihe said.
This person really deserves to be Yan Shu's loyal reader.
However, the matter of awarding titles should be avoided. If Jingzhao Mansion really asked to award one, wouldn't Yan Shu still have to accept it?
If not, it will be revealed
He then said, "Lu Shangshu's words are reasonable, but I believe that this Young Master Xiaoyao is a righteous person. Giving him a title is a bit redundant."
Lu Kaihe was stunned, and hurriedly bowed again, "Your Majesty is wise, it's because I'm stupid."
Yu Wenlan said, "Okay, let's talk about something else. Tubo intends to seek peace, what do you think?"
—Because of the previous Nanzhao coup, the son was replaced by the former king's son with half of Daliang's blood. This time Nanzhao Wang Mu Zhengping came to the capital in person, which clearly revealed the intention of Daliang and Nanzhao to join forces.
As a neighboring country of the two countries, Tubo knew that it would have no chance of winning with these two countries for many years to come, so it simply took the initiative to seek peace.
Of course, one more friend is much better than one more enemy.
As soon as the king said this, he immediately attracted the approval of the ministers.
Dongge University Shidao said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing. Although there is no need for marriage, the two countries can definitely increase exchanges, but we don't need to blindly give alms. If they want grain, silk or tea, they call They trade cattle, sheep and gold, Daliang doesn’t need to take advantage of them, but don’t lose out, just let them know the meaning of the word fair.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.
Yu Wenlan also said, "The matter of trade will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs and Honglu Temple, and the detailed rules must be worked out as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the relevant officials should agree immediately, and everyone else agrees.
——So far, most of the foreigners who entered Beijing this time have already expressed their attitudes. Except for Dongwo, don’t mention it again. Yesterday, he took the initiative to show his goodwill, and wanted to open a trade fair with Daliang on the border to benefit the border residents on both sides.
However, Rouran's neighboring country, Dang Xia, has not expressed his opinion for a long time.
This country is sandwiched between Daliang and Xiongrong, just like Nanzhao, it is a key place, and this is the first time the new king has sent envoys since he took office, and his attitude is very important.
When all the ministers were worried, the king said again, "Tomorrow the king of Nanzhao will leave Beijing, and tonight I will hold a banquet in the Jiying Hall to practice it. This is the last time for Dang Xia to express his position. If he has no intention of making friends with Daliang, Just ask them to leave as soon as possible."
All the ministers should agree.
~~
At night, the Jiying Hall is brightly lit.
Yan Shu accompanied the emperor to attend again today, when she saw those important court officials, she was very excited.
——Today, she followed the system to understand the situation in the court in detail, and knew that after the speeches of Zou Xueshi, Lu Shangshu and others, the ministers no longer rejected her as a woman.
Woohoo, she is indeed worthy of her Bole's discerning eye, Xueshi Zou, and Lu Shangshu, a fan of passionate books!
With these knowledgeable confidants, her words are not in vain!
Wuwu, when she remembered that she was lazy and prevented Xueshi Zou from returning home to live in the Hanlin Academy for several days, causing the book fan Lu Shangshu to have no books for a long time, she felt very guilty in her heart, and wished to write ten books immediately. A storybook to repay them!
Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "..."
I really wanted to persuade her that she didn't have to do this, so I wrote ten scriptures in a row, wondering if the baby in my stomach would bear it.
Of course, he still has important things to do tonight.
At this time, amidst the sound of bells and drums, the dancers flicked their long sleeves and danced the characteristic dance of Liang Liang, practicing for the distinguished guests who are about to say goodbye.
Yu Wenlan took the initiative to raise his glass, and said to Mu Zhengping, "I wish King Mu a smooth journey this time. If there is a chance, he should come to Daliang as a guest."
Mu Zhengping, who was dressed in Nanzhao royal clothes, also raised his glass and said, "This time, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your warm hospitality. From now on, Daliang and Nanzhao will be brothers and sisters, advancing and retreating together."
These words are very weighty, and it is said from the mouth of the dignified King Mu, it can be said to be loud.
Not only did the courtiers of Daliang praise in unison, but it also shocked the hearts of the other foreign envoys present.
—Da Liang was already strong, but now that he has such a solid helper, wouldn't he be stronger?
Therefore, it might not be a good choice to fight against them in the future.
Seeing this scene, the envoy of Dang Xia, who had not made a statement, suddenly said, "Since I took over the new Khan five years ago, this is the first time to visit Daliang. My Queen Mother Khan appreciates the ability of the emperor very much. Therefore, I am also very willing to make this friend of your country, but I don’t know if your country has this sincerity?”
Um?
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace immediately raised their eyebrows quietly—
Dang Xia finally couldn't wait, and wanted to make a statement?
It's just that it's really annoying.
What is "Is there such sincerity?"
It seemed that Daliang was born to be inferior to them.
Yan Shu felt the same way.
She still remembered the last time that Prince Gaoli was stabbed by those two Eastern Japanese monsters, this man followed the Eastern Japanese envoy to pick food and kept questioning Daliang.
It's disgusting to look at.
But at this time, hearing what the other party said, Yu Wenlan said, "I don't know what sincerity your country needs from my leader?"
But he heard the other party say, "Please Daliang make Linqi, Heishui, and Weizhou, which are bordered by our Dangxia, three cities friendly to Dangxia, and allow the people of our Dangxia to live and do business without collecting taxes."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Yan Shu was also taken aback.
He couldn't help but groan inwardly, this party Xia people don't want sincerity, this is the father who wants to be the leader!
Where did this Party Xia get his confidence?
But the system said, 【Actually, it wasn't what DANG Xiatou meant, it was added by this person himself. He wanted to make a contribution so that his ex-mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Dang Xia, would praise him and entrust him with important tasks when he returned home. 】
Upon hearing this, Yan Shu asked, 【Is this man Dang Xia's son-in-law? 】
The system, [Well, he is Princess Dangxia's son-in-law, but last year the princess was **** off by him and his maid, so he can only be counted as the former son-in-law. 】
Yanshu, "!"
This is not another melon.
