Chapter 94 Master Tong, You Are Wronged(1/2)
"See Your Majesty."
Hua Ju, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu came to Huizong. After saluting, Tong Guan said before Hua Ju could say anything: "Your Majesty, Hua Ju has repeatedly accused me of having different intentions. It is really too much to deceive. Your Majesty, please
Make the decision for me."
"Hua Qing, what's going on?" Huizong asked, looking at Hua Ju.
Hua Ju said calmly: "Your Majesty, before the competition, you ordered not to hurt anyone, but Zhou Ang knew that Xue Yuanhui was defeated, but still took advantage of his defeat to hurt him, completely ignoring your instructions.
Therefore, I asked Taiwei Su to disqualify Zhou Ang from the competition and impose severe punishments. However, Lord Tong and Taiwei Gao deliberately protected Zhou Ang, and put a big hat on my head, saying something strange:
"Master Hua is so majestic that he dares to order Master Qisu to come. Do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand?"
Hua Ju deliberately lowered his voice and imitated Tong Guan's speech, which was both realistic and very funny at the same time. It made the officials present couldn't help laughing, and even Huizong had a smile on his face.
"you you you--"
When Tong Guan saw Hua Ju actually vilifying him in front of so many people, his face turned red with blood and he couldn't speak.
Hua Ju turned his head, looked at Su Yuanjing who was standing next to him, and asked: "Su Taiwei, you were here just now. Please tell me in front of His Majesty, do I have any intention of ordering you?"
Huizong looked towards Su Yuanjing.
Su Yuanjing was already at odds with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and the others. He knew that what Tong Guan said just now was to instigate an enemy between him and Hua Ju. How could he be fooled? Huihui bowed and said, "Master Hua, don't you?"
I have no intention of ordering my ministers."
Huizong looked at Tong Guan with some sincerity and said, "How unbecoming is it to make such a fuss over just this little thing?"
Seeing that what Hua Ju said was completely different from what he played, Tong Guan quickly said: "It's not your Majesty——"
"Tong Guan, you are brave!"
Hua Ju didn't wait for Tong Guan to finish his words before interrupting him, glaring at him and saying, "How dare you say that the emperor is "not your majesty"? Do you want to rebel?"
Tong Guan hurriedly explained: "I didn't."
"How dare you say no."
Hua Ju pointed at the civil and military officials and said: "With so many people watching and listening, you clearly said that the Emperor is not His Majesty, and yet you still dare to quibble. Do you really think that everyone in the Dawei family is a fool?"
Turning around and hugging Huizong, Hua Ju said: "Your Majesty, Tong Guan dares to say that you are not His Majesty in front of you. He simply doesn't take you seriously. His intention to be a treacherous minister and traitor is clearly exposed. Such traitors
If it is not eliminated, the stability of the imperial court will be jeopardized. I ask your Majesty to issue an order to bring this traitor and traitor to justice."
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Tong Guan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I just want to say -"
"what you want to say."
Hua Ju didn't let Tong Guan speak at all, and cut off the rest of his words like a guillotine, saying: "You want to say that the emperor is not your majesty? Everyone has heard this. You don't need to repeat it. Such treasonous words are very harmful to us."
For a loyal minister, it is already a sin to listen to it once, how can you listen to it a second time?"
"Your Majesty, I really have no intention of deceiving you. Please tell me clearly." Tong Guan cried and kowtowed.
Seeing that Hua Ju didn't give Tong Guan a chance to speak, Gao Qiu became angry and said, "Hua Ju, you didn't let Mr. Tong finish what he said and you framed him out of context. You are the one to be punished."
"Gao Qiu, are you deaf or are you pretending to be confused?"
Hua Ju stared at the officials present and said: "So many people have heard Tong Guan's words, but you are saying that I took them out of context. You, the second senior brother, are good at beating a palladium. Fortunately, there are so many people here.
, Your Majesty is also here, you can all testify for me."
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Song and asked: "Shi Shangshu, did you hear Tong Guan say just now that the Emperor is not His Majesty?"
"I heard it. Tong Guan did say that the Emperor is not His Majesty."
Shi Song hated Tong Guan and other traitors, so he naturally hoped to move to Tong Guan at this time. Even if he couldn't move, it would be nice to scare the eunuchs, so of course he wanted to help Hua Ju.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also heard it. Tong Guan said that the Emperor is not Your Majesty."
"Yes, I have arrived."
Two veteran generals, Sima Hong and Lu Zhengxin, also helped and said that, like Shi Song, they hoped to move to Tongguan at this time and eliminate a traitorous official for the court.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have been wronged. I beg you to make a decision for me." Tong Guan was so frightened that he cried bitterly and kept banging his head on the ground.
When Cai Jing saw Shi Song and others cooperating with Hua Ju to target Tong Guan, he was worried that Huizong was really persuaded to punish Tong Guan, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tong is loyal and will never have the intention to deceive the emperor. Please tell me clearly."
Gao Qiu also said: "Your Majesty, your kindness to Master Tong is beyond the sky. All he thinks about is how to repay Your Majesty, so how can he have the intention to deceive you? Your Majesty, please don't listen to the words of a villain. You are wrong.
Master Tong."
"Your Majesty, you heard what Tong Guan said just now. I repeated it exactly as it was without adding a single word. However, Gao Qiu put the hat of a villain on my head and asked your Majesty to make the decision for me." Hua Ju not only said.
Bu Xiu said.
What Huizong feared most in his life was to let him make decisions, otherwise he wouldn't have listened to Cai Jing and the others and made the government so chaotic, so letting him make decisions would literally cost him his life.
"Fellow ministers, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Huizong asked the standing officials.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Tong is loyal and loyal, and will never have the intention to deceive the emperor."
"Your Majesty, Master Tong was wrongly accused."
"Your Majesty, Lord Tong has made great contributions to the imperial court. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
Most of the civil and military officials on the military parade platform stood up to speak for Tong Guan. Only Shi Song and a few others who did not deal with Cai Jing and other traitors remained silent.
Huizong frowned and was silent in thought.
In fact, he knew that Tong Guan did not have the courage to speak to him in front of him, but the problem was that if Tong Guan was innocent, then Hua Ju was guilty of framed the minister.
You must know that Hua Ju is his trusted minister and son-in-law, and has saved him many times. He really doesn't want to punish him for this matter.
Therefore, he felt very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, since everyone is speaking for Tong Guan, we might as well give him another chance to explain. If he really has no intention of deceiving the emperor, then I have wrongly blamed him." Hua Ju said unexpectedly at this time.
From the very beginning, Hua Ju never thought that he could overthrow Tong Guan with such a trivial matter. If he were to be overthrown so easily, he would not have been able to stand in the court for so many years.
His purpose was just to knock down Tong Guan's arrogance, prevent him from making trouble in front of Huizong, and fool Zhou Ang into hurting Xue Yuanhui.
Now, Tong Guan's arrogance has been knocked down, and all the officials are interceding for Tong Guan. Especially when he sees Huizong frowning and thinking, he knows that it is almost over, and it is time to bring the issue back to the topic, so he takes the initiative to defend Tong Guan.
Tong Guan said something.
"Hua Qing's words make sense."
Huizong was in trouble, Hua Ju said this just to help him out, and asked Tong Guan: "Don't cry anymore, I will give you a chance to explain, go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tong Guan didn't even wipe his tears and said: "What I just meant is -"
Suddenly, he saw Hua Ju tilting his head and staring at him without blinking. His heart skipped a beat and he thought: "This boy is good at finding excuses in people's words. I guess he asked the emperor to give me a chance. That's it."
He wants to get more leverage out of my words and then ask the emperor to kill me. I can’t be fooled by him again, so I have to be extremely careful with what I say.”
Seeing that he was only halfway speaking, Huizong stopped and asked, "What do you mean? Why didn't you say it again?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, what I just meant is that what Hua Ju said is not the same thing as what I said in Zhenzhuo." Tong Guan pondered this sentence over and over again in his mind, and then said carefully after making sure that there was no problem.
come out.
"Oh, that's what happened. It seems that I wrongly blamed you."
Hua Ju nodded with the same attitude and said: "Old boy, I'm not talking about you. You are such a big man and you can't even speak clearly, which caused me to misunderstand. Fortunately, I realized it later and wanted to
Otherwise you are really going to get killed by yourself. Okay, wipe the tears on your face, you are not afraid of people laughing at you if you cry when the boss is dead. Other girls cry like pear blossoms with rain, which makes people pity you.
, it’s disgusting for you, a lousy old man of several decades, to cry.”
"Hahaha--"
Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Zhengxin were so happy when they saw Hua Ju hurting Tong Guan in front of him that they laughed loudly.
"you you--"
Tong Guan's face turned red with anger, and just when he was about to reprimand, Hua Ju said to Huizong first: "Your Majesty, it is clear now. It was just Master Tong who made a mistake in his words and expressed himself unclearly, which caused the misunderstanding. However, although, although
The cause of this matter was caused by Mr. Tong himself, but I still made some mistakes, so I need to apologize to him."
After speaking, he turned around and leaned down, grabbed Tong Guan's left hand, and gently patted the back of his hand with the other hand. Like a superior visiting people in need, he said in a serious voice: "Master Tong, you have been wronged."
Seeing this scene, Huizong nodded happily and thought: "My son-in-law is sensible, knows how to be humble, and can take the initiative to admit his mistakes. He is really a good young man. I am really lucky to have such a minister and son-in-law."
"
"This, is this how you apologize to me?"
Tong Guan looked up at Hua Ju, with a confused look on his face. When he wanted to apologize, he bowed to him seriously, and then said a few nice words. What kind of apology was this? He was fooling a fool.
"No, I will never let him go so easily. I must seek justice from him."
Thinking of this, he took his hand out of Hua Ju's hand and wanted to play Hua Ju again to Huizong.
However, before he could speak, Hua Ju had already said: "Your Majesty, since Master Tong's matter has been made clear, it is time to talk about Zhou Ang's violation of the imperial edict and intentional wounding of Xue Yuanhui. I think Zhou Ang is
To injure Xue Yuanhui even though he knew that the Holy Will forbids harm to others is to show contempt for His Majesty. His results should be cancelled, and he should be severely punished to serve as a warning to avoid similar things happening in the future."
Huizong nodded and was about to issue an order when Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Hua's statement is inappropriate."
