With Qi Ning by his side, Dou Kui became more confident and said categorically, “Unless there is an imperial decree from the emperor, no one has the right to check the carriage tonight.”
Sima Changshen stared at Qi Ning’s eyes and said, “Qining, it seems that you also mean the same?”
“Sir Dou’s meaning is exactly what I meant.” Qi Ning said, “Ben Hou and Master Dou together with the investigation of the Huainan Palace are closely related. If people who have nothing to do with this matter have to come to check, do we still have to make everyone queue up? waiting?”
Sima Changshen laughed and said, “Okay, since that’s the case, this Marquis will go and ask for the decree now.”
“Is it too much to be loyal and righteous?” Although Dou Kui had the support of Qi Ning, he was a little anxious when he thought of the treasures in the carriage: “The emperor’s wedding today is an auspicious time, and it’s time to ask the emperor to invite him. The purpose is to deliberately displease the emperor.”
“The emperor’s wedding, this marquis will naturally not disturb the emperor.” Sima Changshen sneered: “This marquis sent someone to ask the queen mother for the decree, and Mr. Dou will not disobey at that time, right?”
“Queen Mother?” Dou Kui’s face changed slightly.
“The King of Huainan is a member of the royal family, and many of the treasures he collects are not all gifts from the court.” Sima Changshen said proudly: “The status of the empress dowager in the royal family does not need to be mentioned, and it is related to the treasures hidden in the palace, Jinyihou, this Once you can’t say that the queen mother can’t ask about it, right?”
Qi Ning sighed and said, “Since Hou Zhongyi insists on doing this, I won’t say anything more. You can send someone to the palace to ask for an order. Master Dou and I will be waiting here.” Xiang Dou Kui said: ” Mr. Dou, since the Hou Zhongyi has repeatedly claimed that you are going to steal the treasures of the palace, in order to show your innocence, just wait for the Queen Mother’s will to come over and let the Hou Zhongyi take a look.”
Dou Kui felt empty in his heart. Seeing Qi Ning nodding slightly to himself, he thought that since this little prince said so, maybe there would be a way to resolve it later. At this time, he had no other way to deal with it. He could only delay it for a while. .
“Come on, drive the carriage outside the palace gate and wait.” Sima Changshen said solemnly, “Don’t let anyone steal it away.”
His words were very rude. Dou Kui put on his sleeves and snorted coldly. Seeing that the group of people was about to drive the carriage away, he immediately said, “Wait a minute, wait for loyalty, you want to ask an order to check the carriage, I won’t say anything, but again What does it mean to drive the carriage outside the palace gate? Today is a festive day, so it is necessary to bring this matter to the palace?”
Sima Changshen put one hand behind his back and said: “The palace banquet is about to end, we are outside the palace gate, and the hundred officials should also leave the palace. At that time, everyone will be able to see the difference at first sight. You, Mr. Dou, are sharp-spoken, but this marquis is not good at words. , to expose the facts in front of everyone, and to understand right and wrong all at once, wouldn’t it be better? In case Master Dou said that no one has testified, it was the Marquis who wronged you.”
Sima Chang carefully observed his words and expressions. Today, Dou Kui and Qi Ning repeatedly prevented him from looking at the carriage. He had already determined that the carriage must be the treasure.
Dou Kui felt a little chill in his heart, thinking that he really went outside the palace gate and opened the box under Baiguan’s eyelids. At that time, there was no room for manoeuvre.
Once those treasures appeared, the charge of embezzling the property of the palace could not be avoided. When all the officials were present, Dou Kui knew that someone would immediately impeach him to the court. It would be trivial to be dismissed from office. may all exist.
Qi Ning also changed color slightly, frowned and said, “Court of loyalty, there’s no need to make this a big deal, right? The emperor and Baiguan are in a good mood today. If this matter disturbed everyone’s interest, wouldn’t it be bad?”
“State affairs are the most important.” Sima Changshen pressed step by step: “Jinyihou, you are also an important official of the imperial court. Don’t you understand that the matter of stealing the palace is more important than everyone’s interest?”
“This…!” Qi Ning’s face was ugly, but Sima Changshen had already urged: “Come here, drive the carriage outside Zhengyangmen.”
Dou Kui looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning frowned, all frowning.
Sima Changshen led people to drive two carriages to Zhengyangmen, the main gate of the palace.
Everyone was walking on foot, and Qi Ning followed him for a while, and suddenly said: “Master Zhongyi, I drank a few more cups just now, and my body is a little unwell. I won’t go past the palace gate…! ”
When Dou Kui heard this, his body softened, thinking that this little Marquis seemed to want to run away and put all the blame on himself. He looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other. Then, Dou Kui’s eyes showed a begging look, but Sima Changshen immediately said: “Jinyihou, you can’t go.”
“Why?”
“You are the host of the confiscated palace, and now there are objects transported from the palace in the carriage, how can you walk away?” Sima Changshen stared at Qi Ning like a knife, “regardless of whether this is related to you or not. , When the time comes to check the carriage, you must always be there, otherwise it will be impossible to say.”
Qi Ning sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked with the team.
The Huainan Palace was naturally not too far from the palace. After less than half an hour, they had already arrived outside Zhengyang Gate. At this time, they happened to meet a group of officials coming out of the palace gate in groups of three or five. The officials saw Sima Chang. Shen and the others rushed over in a carriage, all with a surprised look on their faces.
The carriage stopped by the side so that it would not block the way for the officials to go out, but at this time, the officials saw not only Sima Changshen, but also Dou Kui and Qi Ning.
There was a banquet in the palace, and the preparations were staggered. When the three of Qi Ning left, they were silent. Many officials did not notice the three leaving. At this time, they saw three important officials who were at the banquet suddenly appeared outside the palace gate. , and also rushed over with two carriages, which was strange.
“Master Hou, what’s the matter?” Chen Lanting, the minister of personnel, stepped forward first: “Who is in the carriage?”
The dignified Zhongyihou and Jinyihou were walking on foot, and the people in the carriage were naturally no trivial matter, but the emperor and Sima Lan were both in the palace, and everyone really couldn’t imagine who could let the two great hereditary waiters walk beside the carriage on foot. .
Sima Changshen glanced at Qi Ning triumphantly, and said, “There is no one in the car.”
“No one?” There was an uproar, and it was even more unclear what medicine was sold in this gourd.
At this time, the Marquis of Wuxiang, Suzhen, had also come out, and when he came forward, he was also at a loss: “There is no one in the carriage, so what are you doing here with an empty carriage? Is it possible to borrow someone to leave?” .
When the ministers entered the palace, there were naturally many people who were picked up by carriages and sedan chairs, but they all had special waiting places. No one had the guts to block their tools outside the palace gate, and the two carriages in front of them looked very different. Ordinary, it was a carriage that only gentry and countrymen would ride, and any official of some rank in the court would never despise such a simple ride.
“My lords will be waiting here.” Sima Changshen said, “I will enter the palace to ask for an decree!” He instructed his subordinates: “Everyone is careful, but don’t let anyone run away.” No nonsense, he went straight to the palace. Ask for the Queen Mother.
Only then did Su Zhen come to Qi Ning’s side and ask, “Jin Yi Hou, what happened? This… Which one is this singing?”
Qi Ning smiled lightly and said, “I don’t hide it from you. Yesterday, the Huainan palace was seized, but not all of them were cleaned up.” He raised his hand and pointed at Dou Kui: “Master Dou has spared no effort. Transported to the Ministry of Household, because it is the emperor’s wedding day, so try to keep a low profile and not disturb everyone.” He sighed, and then continued: “But when we were halfway, we were stopped by Zhongyi Hou, Zhongyi Hou He insisted on checking the contents of the carriage, and said that Master Dou was smuggling the treasures of the palace.”
There was a commotion all around, Chen Lanting put his hands on his back and sneered: “This is no wonder Zhongyihou. Master Dou transported things from the palace at midnight, who knows what it was? Jinyihou said that it was going to the Ministry of Household, who could Is the guarantee true or false? Maybe Zhongyi Hou did not stop it, and it is unknown that it was transported to other places without knowing it.”
“Shut up!” Dou Kui couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted sharply, “Chen Lanting, what the hell are you doing?”
Chen Lanting was stunned for a moment, but smiled instead of being angry: “Master Dou, what are you worried about, outside the palace gate, you are swearing, you are also a scholar, don’t you think it’s insulting? I’m just telling the truth, don’t listen to it if you don’t like it. .”
The Minister of Personnel is concurrently held by Sima Lan, but Sima Lan usually assists in the administration of the government. In fact, the Ministry of Personnel has always been presided over by Chen Lanting, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and its actual power is not much different from that of the Minister of Officials.
But above the official position, Chen Lanting is still one level lower than Dou Kui, the minister of households. At this time, he mocked Dou Kui in public, and many officials knew that Chen Lanting relied on the power of the Sima family to dare to be so presumptuous.
“Chen Lanting, you’ve read books, but do you know the difference between upper and lower?” Qi Ning felt disgusted when he saw Chen Lanting, a fox-fake and powerful guy, and sneered: “A waiter, talking to Master Dou so arrogantly, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Who gave you the guts?”
As soon as Chen Lanting heard Qi Ning’s voice, he felt guilty and forced a smile: “It’s a subordinate officer, isn’t it? A subordinate officer… Xiaguan just said that there is a possibility.”
“There are some things, you really have to follow the example.” Qi Ning smiled harshly: “Just now, Hou Zhongyi stopped Lord Dou, and that’s what he said. There is no evidence to prove that Lord Dou transported treasures from the palace, but he speculated heavily on Dou. The adults just want to fill their own pockets, hehe…!”
At this time, the surrounding officials also understood the reason, and some people had already asked: “Master Dou, what exactly is being transported in the carriage? Right and wrong, open it, and then you will understand.”
Dou Kui carried his hands on his back, and said coldly, “The court has the laws of the court, and the Ministry of Household has the regulations of the Ministry of Household. The things that the Ministry of Household has copied are registered in the register of the Ministry of Household. Can anyone ask?”
Qi Ning raised his hand and said in a loud voice: “My lord, it’s useless to say anything now. The loyal and righteous waiter wants to check the carriage, saying that he wants to maintain the court, and now he is going to ask the queen mother for decree, so we won’t say much. As the saying goes, , the Qing people are self-cleaning, and when the loyal and righteous waiters come over with the will and open the carriage, everyone will see if Master Dou really smuggled treasures.”
Su Zhen couldn’t help but ask, “Jinyihou, did you and Master Dou transport the thing from the palace together?”
“That’s not true.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “I met him suddenly in the middle of the road. I trust Mr. Dou as a person. In addition, I was in charge of the seizure of the palace this time, so let’s follow along to find out.”
When the surrounding officials heard the words, they all thought of you. You, the little prince, are really big-hearted. Who can’t believe it, but must believe in Dou Kui’s character. Dou Kui was also implicated in it, and the Sima family was worried that they could not find the handle of your Qi family. Now that you have come to the door, it is no wonder that Sima Changshen will not let go.
