Chapter 86
Bo Jianing, Mei Jingsheng, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Fang were all a little nervous and worried.
Qian Chengyun, Zuodu Censor Bian Xiuyong, and several other censors all had sneers on their lips.
Some of the people in the palace behind the screen looked curious, some were sarcastic in their hearts...
"The King of Caomin smiled and came to see His Majesty."
Wang Xiao lowered his head, not daring to look at the ninety-five-year-old emperor, so he could only bow to Emperor Yanguang honestly according to the etiquette taught by Wang Zhen.
This etiquette was something Wang Zhen had learned before when she planned to be a Jinshi. At this time, Wang Xiao did it in a formal manner, looking a bit like a gentle and elegant scholar. As for whether he was dementia or not, he couldn't tell.
Xue Gaoxian, Mei Jingsheng, and Wang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still lifted.
Emperor Yanguang said calmly, and said: "Pingshen."
Naturally, he would not ask such an impolite question as "Are you a dementia?", so he asked: "I ask you, why do you want to marry Chun Ning?"
Wang Xiao was stunned.
This question was somewhat unexpected.
Why do you want to marry Chun Ning?
I actually don’t want to marry Princess Chunning.
The one I want to marry is Ying'er...
To be more precise, it was Ying'er and Tang Qianqian who married both of them.
Of course, some things just need to be thought about in your mind, and the answers don’t have to be so accurate.
But it is impossible to say this honestly to the emperor at this time.
He lowered his head and looked at the pair of gold and black dragon-patterned boots in front of him. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, how to answer?
Several breaths passed, and Wang Xiao still didn't speak.
The expressions of Xue Gaoxian, Mei Jingsheng, and Wang Fang all changed, and fear spread in their hearts.
It's over, it's over, he's really a fool... Jianing Bo's Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, and the Internal Affairs Bureau, I'm afraid no one can escape.
Behind the screen, Lian Yan, the maid sent by the Queen Mother, frowned. Danxia, the maid sent by Concubine Xu, nervously clenched her handkerchief. The other maids' faces were even more mocking.
Jianing Bo thought to himself: "Even if you just say what your parents say, a matchmaker's words will do."
"Young men should get married, and female students should get married. Such a simple question, idiot." Mei Jingsheng cursed in his heart.
Another few breaths of work.
"Grass people..."
Wang Xiao finally spoke, and he said softly: "The common people don't know either. They don't know what kind of person the princess is, and they don't know what it's like to be with the princess."
Everyone was stunned.
But I heard Wang Xiao continue to say: "But when your majesty asked, I will answer with what is in my heart. Why did you marry a wife? Probably... I wish to win the heart of one person and we will never be apart from each other until the end of our lives."
For many people, it doesn't really matter what he answered.
This sentence has a clear idea and smooth tone.
Princess Shang, having such intelligence is enough.
Not dementia!
Someone breathed a sigh of relief.
The sneer on someone's face froze.
The sneers in some people's hearts were even worse.
Several palace maids behind the screen squeezed the embroidered handkerchiefs in their hands.
Lu Zhengchu turned to look at Wang Xiao and said nothing.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." Emperor Yanguang said calmly.
Wang Xiao followed the instructions and raised his head.
Emperor Yanguang was looking at him, and he took the opportunity to glance at him.
The emperor in front of him was in his forties, but most of his hair was white. He had deep wrinkles on his forehead and deep nasolabial folds on his face.
With just one glance, Wang Xiao could tell that he probably wasn't living a very happy life.
Emperor Yanguang over there nodded, looking somewhat satisfied.
"We are together forever... Do you know where this sentence comes from?"
Wang smiled and said: "Han Yuefu."
"I heard there are rumors that you are a descendant of Dongpo. Is it true?" Emperor Yanguang asked again.
"Common people dare not accept this false praise. It is just a rumor spread among the people in the market."
"Do you want to eat it?" Emperor Yanguang picked up the cake on the table and asked.
Wang Xiao was actually a little hungry. After being stunned for a moment, he still said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Common people dare not eat in His Highness's presence."
Emperor Yanguang stopped persuading him, put down the cake in his hand, and nodded.
He asked these questions at random, and it was impossible for anyone to prepare answers for Wang Xiao.
Oh, do you want to eat? No.
So, are you crazy or not? Not crazy.
His eyes fell on Bian Xiuyong, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the corner of his mouth raised, with a somewhat cold meaning in it.
Instead, he asked Wang Xiao: "Someone is impeaching you today. Why do you think it is?"
Wang Xiao pretended to be surprised and said: "Impeach the common people?"
He could only say in a panic: "The common people really don't know what they have done."
Ha, I impeach you for being a moron.
Emperor Yanguang stood up suddenly and shouted: "Bian Xiuyong! Luo Deyuan! This is what you all have done! You dare to tell any lies with your eyes open!"
Bian Xiuyong hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have nothing to do. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Today, Luo Yuan was very convincing, and Bian Xiuyong also sent someone to find out. The third young master Wang Xiao was indeed a fool. Who would have known that this would be the result at first.
He felt extremely unjust. Luo Yuan's impeachment memorial was not submitted through the Metropolitan Procuratorate process, but was submitted privately by himself.
But it happened that the matter was so big, and the crime had to be resisted by myself, the censor of Zuodu.
"Calm down? The state affairs are already very heavy. Do you think the alliance is not tiring enough? Are you going to cause trouble in the court in different ways? Don't think that I don't know that even if your nobles and eunuchs choose such a talented and handsome person, they will be in your civil service.
It’s also a big crime in your eyes?!”
Lu Zhengchu still sat there calmly.
But when he looked at Qian Chengyun, he sneered in his heart.
Today, Qian Chengyun is Zuo Jinglun’s direct descendant, and he is also his opponent this time.
It is true that Wang Xiao was demented before, and the other party's entry point is indeed a good one.
Fortunately for me, this child had an awakening a few days ago.
Ha, Song Li is nothing more than that...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengchu suddenly thought that Song Li shouldn't have revealed such a big flaw.
The next moment, I heard Luo Luo Yuan say loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, I really want to impeach the quasi-madu captain Wang Xiao!"
Everyone was stunned again.
"The king laughed at him because he had bad conduct and many bad deeds and was not worthy of a princess. He had two crimes. One was that he had an affair with a widow and yet he came to choose a mate to marry him. This was the crime of deceiving the king; the other was that he had an affair with the widow.
The murder of Zhang Heng, the head of the Criminal Department..."
Luo Deyuan was still talking, but Lu Zhengchu's eyes had dimmed.
People of his level have never seen anything happen, and there is nothing to panic about, but if they lose, they lose.
As soon as Luo Yuan said his words, he knew that he had failed.
He lost to Song Li, Zuo Jinglun and Zheng Yuanhua.
I thought I had caught the other party's flaw, but the other party thought one step further than me.
It turns out that the point is not at all whether Wang Xiao is demented or not.
Your Majesty doesn't care at all whether he is dementia, as long as he can see through it and explain it rationally, that's all.
The national situation is difficult, who cares about a princess’s married life?
However, the two crimes listed by Luo Yuan were against the law and cannot be explained away.
As a result, His Majesty has no choice but to deal with it.
Jianingbo and the Ministry of Rites were lost if they were lost. The most important thing in this round was that he lost Wang Fang...
"According to my understanding, in order to avoid schoolwork, Wang Xiao pretended to be a demented child and wandered around the streets all day long. He also had an affair with the widow Tang, causing her to become pregnant. He also defrauded his stepmother of money and wanted to murder his biological brother... These evil things
Okay, there are many witnesses in the public eye. Because Zhang Heng, the head of the Criminal Department, had some relationship with the Tang family, Wang Xiao was so jealous that he dared to come and kill Zhang Heng. I also have evidence for this!
In addition, I still want to impeach Uncle Jianing, the Ministry of Rites, and the Internal Affairs Bureau for accepting bribes and manipulating the selection of Fu Ma. Not only that, they chose such a scoundrel with a bad record, and they are guilty of negligence! They are guilty of neglecting the corpse!
