Chapter 64: Playing Right
Wang Tigan felt that Wei Zhongxian was too careful.
But the chicken nodded as he pecked the rice.
Wei Zhongxian did not rush to enter the Qinzheng Hall.
He was waiting, waiting for Huang Liji and a few walk into the palace. In addition, he also ordered people: "Call Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to come in."
When the cabinet was about to meet, the Jinyiwei gathered.
Wei Zhongxian felt as if he had a reassurance pill.
He immediately met with the eunuch Wang Tigan, the eunuch in charge of the Dongchang, Huang Liji, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, no one in the world can't kill any of these three parties.
As soon as he arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Wei Zhongxian showed a depressed expression and a heartbroken look.
When he entered the hall, he saw Emperor Tianqi seemingly waiting for something anxiously. Zhang Jingyi stood aside with his hands behind his back. His hands seemed to be injured and stained with blood, but the blood had dried up and he could only smell some blood.
Emperor Tianqi calmed down. He seemed to have communicated with Zhang Jingyi, and then said, "What's the matter with you all here?"
This is what... Wang Ti is anxious. His Majesty is pretending to be deaf and dumb.
So he immediately stepped forward and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants to be the master of the East Factory. Today's incident is unheard of. The Jinyiwei actually entered the house and attacked the East Factory... Now the world is shocking, and this matter has been rumored to be the laughing stock of the world. If Your Majesty does not immediately punish the person who caused the accident, I will only be afraid..."
Emperor Apocalypse held his chin: "Oh, is that the case?"
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Tian Ergeng, only glanced at Zhang Jing.
He didn't take this small family seriously, but he thought that because of these family members, he caused such trouble today, which made him difficult for him to command, which made Tian Ergeng very unhappy.
He quickly said with joy: "There is such a thing, and it is indeed a sudden attack by the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office. The incident happened so horrible. I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am incompetent in the imperial guards, and I will be punished for death."
As he said that, Tian Ergeng bowed and looked willing to take the blame.
Wei Zhongxian stood aside and observed His Majesty's reaction without showing any expression.
Obviously... At this time, even if you want to make a quibble, you can't make a quibble. Even the Jinyiwei himself confirmed the matter and believed that this matter was the responsibility of the Jinyiwei. How could you, Zhang Jingyi, deny it?
Emperor Apocalypse frowned slightly and said, "Is that so serious?"
Huang Liji, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is of great importance, and it is indeed a big deal. Dongchang is your majesty's confidant. What is the difference between attacking Dongchang and rebellion? If it is today's matter, I cannot serve as a warning to others. I am only afraid that the people of the world will follow suit. At that time, where are the national laws and regulations?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he nodded in his heart.
Huang Liji is worthy of being the chief minister, and he directly raised this matter to the point of etiquette and rules, which made His Majesty unable to avoid it.
After all this, His Majesty had to cry and kill Ma Su.
Next...
Emperor Tianqi's eyes had already fallen on Wei Zhongxian: "Parent Wei, what do you say?"
Sure enough, it's here.
Wei Zhongxian calmly thought about it and said carefully: "The matter has indeed reached an uncontrollable point. When I heard that all the officials in the court were shocked. At that time... I am afraid that the crowd will be in a raging situation. If Your Majesty does not deal with it immediately, it will cause extremely terrible consequences. To put it to the big picture, it is a rebellion. Even if it is to say it to the smallest, it is an assault on the official. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an unforgivable crime."
"But... I always thought..." Wei Zhongxian paused and continued: "In fact, I have to blame this matter, only I blame me. Zhang Jing is still young, but I am just a young man. When His Majesty wanted to release him into a hundred households and guard Qingpingfang, I felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but I didn't say anything to stop it. Now... I'm so unsuccessful. I'm apologizing to Your Majesty first. It's because I don't know anyone and have made complete arrangements and arrangements in advance."
Wei Zhongxian respectfully acknowledged his mistakes and apologized for the first time.
Emperor Aoki hurriedly said, "This is not a problem for you."
Wei Zhongxian then said: "Now the cabinet, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei must severely punish Zhang Baihu, saying that he would commit a serious crime of corruption. I do not agree with this. As I said, those who do not know are not guilty. Zhang Jingyi is too young, what can he understand? He is just being instigated and instigated and was stunned for a moment. What's more, he has made contributions to killing thieves and rescuing the lords. If he says he has the intention of being unjust, I will never believe it. Your Majesty should let him go and spare him for death."
Wei Zhongxian's words were actually expected, and every word was spoken to His Majesty's heart.
However, Emperor Tianqi did not seem to react much, which made Wei Zhongxian a little embarrassed. He continued: "So what I mean is to avoid his death penalty and issue an edict to prison first...how?"
After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he felt quite proud. The cabinet, the East Factory and the Jinyiwei all pretended to be a black face, and I was the only one who sang this white face. He was "considering" his Majesty everywhere!
For Your Majesty, it is impossible not to punish him if he has committed such a big thing. Faced with the huge pressure from all officials in the court, it is impossible to protect Zhang Jingyi. Now that he has given His Majesty a step forward, Your Majesty not only wants to be grateful to us, but he is afraid that Zhang Jingyi can also be solved smoothly.
"Issuing an edict to prison?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile.
"I don't want to... I am Zhang Jingyi's close friend... I feel sorry for him, but..." Wei Zhongxian looked heartbroken.
Although he doesn't even want to accept his grandson now, at this time... he always has to show some intention of killing Ma Su with tears, so that he can empathize with His Majesty.
Emperor Tianqi coughed immediately, and his eyes finally fell on Zhang Jingyi: "Zhang Qing, what do you think?"
Zhang Jing stepped forward and said seriously: "I am the only one who is humble and will follow His Majesty's leader."
As he said that, Zhang Jing looked up at Emperor Apocalypse.
Emperor Aoki also looked at him at the same time.
Four eyes are opposite.
It was at this tense moment.
Suddenly...
With a puff... Emperor Aoki burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
“…”
After Emperor Tianqi laughed, he pointed at Zhang Jing and said, "Zhang Qing, it's true that you are not bad at all. It seems that I have lost. I will ask the inner treasury to allocate you a thousand taels of silver later..."
In this hall... you can still hear the laughter of Emperor Apocalypse.
Wei Zhongxian and others held their breath and looked at Emperor Aoki in a daze.
No, you are so stupid?
Zhang Jingyi immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am just a lucky winner, and I dare not collect money."
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Huang Liji immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and said with a stern face: "This is not a joke."
Emperor Tianqi was not angry, and he still smiled: "Okay, I and Zhang Qing were just making a bet. Zhang Qing said, you will definitely punish him for death, and Wei's partner is his close friend, and he will definitely plead for him. I tried my best, uh... I lost a thousand taels of silver to him. Oh... I thought Wei and Zhang Qing were just brothers on the surface, but I didn't expect... to be true friends."
Wei Zhongxian's facial muscles became stiff, and there were probably countless jokes in his heart: "..."
"But... this matter is of great importance... If His Majesty still treats it as a joke, how can he convince people?"
"What are you talking about?" Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows: "I forgot to tell you about this... Zhang Qing, come to them with a secret decree, and they will understand after reading it."
Secret order...
What secret order...
Everyone looked at each other.
But at this moment, Zhang Jingyi took out an order from his sleeve and coughed, "This is the thing. When Your Majesty let me go out to serve as a hundred households, I dared to advise Your Majesty, saying that the world has been safe and sound. The Cleaning Office and the Ten Thousand Household Office of the various factories were afraid of being lazy. Your Majesty also agreed with this, so before leaving, I asked for a secret order, cough cough... Your Majesty ordered me to arrange an exercise to praise everyone's weight."
exercise……
What is an exercise?
