Romance Chinese Network, update the latest chapter of Jinyi Spring and Autumn as soon as possible!

All the ministers wanted to see how this good show would end tonight, so naturally they were reluctant to leave immediately.

Sima Changshen’s footsteps were not slow. After waiting for a while, he saw Sima Changshen approaching quickly. With a smug smile, he shook Huang Chou in his hand and said, “Jinyi Hou, Master Dou, this is the Queen Mother’s decree. I wonder if these two carriages can be inspected with this decree?” The silk was thrown into Dou Kui’s hands.

Dou Kui was already in a cold sweat, opened the yellow silk and glanced at it, his face was ashen, turned to Qi Ning, and handed the yellow silk in his hand. At this time, the Queen Mother’s will was in hand, and Dou Kui had no ability to stop Sima Changshen. Checking the carriage, his face was pale, and he knew in his heart that as long as the box in the carriage was opened, his future would come to an end.

He now only hopes that Qi Ning can come up with a way to stop Sima Changshen.

Qi Ning didn’t take the yellow silk at all, just sighed softly: “Everyone is present, right and wrong, we will understand soon. However, despite the empress dowager’s decree, we can’t stop Zhongyihou from checking the carriage, but there are some truths. To explain.”

Sima Changshen snorted coldly and said, “What’s the point?”

“Everyone, it is an indisputable fact that Hou Zhongyi is interfering in the office of the Ministry of Household Affairs tonight.” Qi Ning’s expression became stern: “I don’t know who gave Zhongyi Hou such power, and even the official affairs of the Ministry of Household have to be inquired. If you can ask about the Ministry of Household Affairs today, will you be able to ask about the Ministry of Punishment or even the Ministry of War tomorrow?” With a sneer, he said, “Court of loyalty, why don’t I go back and make a memorial, and let the emperor directly raise you as prime minister, six yamen How about leaving it all to you to manage?”

Sima Changshen was not annoyed, and said: “Jinyi Hou, you said these words, the purpose is to stop Ben Hou from inspecting the carriage, but Ben Hou is stubborn, and he will not give up on things that he has determined. It’s not that Ben Hou also intervened in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but that Dou Kui’s actions tonight are unusual and must be investigated.”

“I can also understand the feelings of the Hou Zhongyi.” Qi Ning said lightly: “But there is no cost. The Hou Zhongyi can do whatever he wants, check whoever he wants to check, and spread it out. Is it bad for the reputation of the Sima family? it is good?”

Sima Changshen frowned and said, “What do you mean by that?”

“The meaning is very simple. The Hou Zhongyi believes that the carriage must be a treasure smuggled by Master Dou. If this is the case, the Hou Zhongyi has investigated a major case and made a great contribution to the court.” Qi Ning stared directly at Sima Chang. Shen’s eyes: “If this is the case, although the behavior tonight is a bit rude and even domineering, but after all, the credit is worth the credit, and we don’t have much to say.”

Sima Changshen frowned and stared into Qi Ning’s eyes.

“But if Lord Dou is innocent, and there are no rare treasures in the carriage as mentioned by Hou Zhongyi, shouldn’t Lord Dou suffer such insults as Hou Zhongyi?” Qi Ning sneered, “Master Dou is also an important official of the court. The dignified Minister of the Household, when he was running an errand, was stopped by Zhongyi Hou in the street, and even slandered as smuggling the treasures of the palace. Now he is forcibly taken outside the palace gate and took the Queen Mother’s decree to search the carriage. These insults, even if Ordinary people can’t stand it, let alone the important ministers of the imperial court?” He raised his hand and pointed at the ministers: “If the Hou Zhongyi does not give an explanation tonight, then in the future, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty will investigate whichever he suspects. ?”

Qi Ning’s remarks are extremely inflammatory. Tonight, Sima Changshen twisted Dou Kui to investigate. Dou Kui was already considered a high-ranking courtier in the court. If Sima Changshen did not have any evidence, even Dou Kui could do this. Forcibly investigate, then just as Qi Ning said, in the future Sima Changshen wants to investigate whichever is whichever.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad. When the ministers thought of this, they would inevitably feel dissatisfied with Sima Changshen, and their expressions were different.

Sima Changshen knew that Qi Ning was inciting the ministers.

I was angry, but it was hard to argue. At this time, I could see that the ministers seemed dissatisfied, sneered, and said: “Jinyi Hou, what do you think this Hou should do to search the carriage?”

Qi Ning said in a high voice, “Master Dou is running an errand for the imperial court. I have no doubts about Master Dou, so I will protect Master Dou in front of you. But it is full of personal pockets, so even if this marquis does not know anyone, he is willing to ask the emperor for a decree to cut off the title of marquis of Jinyi.”

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a thunderous explosion among the ministers, and many people exclaimed in surprise.

The four hereditary marquis can be said to be the supreme glory of the Great Chu Empire, and it is also a special existence of the Chu State. From the founding of the country to the present, the four hereditary marquis have always had an extremely noble status in Great Chu. It is a real glory, and it is a reward that came only after making countless hard work when the country was founded.

As long as there is a hereditary title, there is still a stable position in the Chu court. For example, Su Zhen is mediocre, but because he inherited the title of Marquis of Wuxiang, he enjoys far more glory and wealth than other courtiers. Even though there are many people who despise Su Zhen in their bones, they are not rude when it comes to face.

The title of Marquis of Jinyi is a golden sign made by two generations of marquis. Looking at the world, no matter where Jinyi is walking, people will take a high look.

But this little Marquis wanted to make a bet with the Marquis of Jinyi in order to protect Dou Kui tonight. The first thought in many people’s minds was that Qi Ning was crazy.

Once the Marquis of Jinyi is cut off, not only will the Jinyi Qi family be taken back immediately, but most importantly, it will be even more difficult to fight against the Sima family.

Some people are already sighing in their hearts, thinking that young people are impulsive, and it seems that this little Marquis wants to destroy the wealth that the Qi family has finally saved.

However, Sima Changshen seemed to be afraid that Qi Ning would withdraw his promise, and immediately said: “Everyone has heard that Jin Yihou used the position of Marquis as a guarantee for Lord Dou, but this Marquis heard it word for word.”

Dou Kui was also horrified, thinking that Qi Ning was really confused. If Qi Ning retained the title of marquis of Jinyi, he could still try his best to save himself, but once he lost his title, it would be difficult for him to protect himself, so he didn’t need to say that he could protect others. People, opened his mouth to persuade, but Qi Ning was already staring at Sima Changshen and said, “Is there no sign of loyalty and justice?”

Sima Changshen didn’t know what Qi Ning meant, nor was it vague, and sneered: “Since Jinyi Hou dares to take the title to protect, of course, this Hou will not let you suffer. If it is in this carriage, it is really not an important matter. , this Marquis will also ask the emperor for an decree to cut off the title of Marquis of Loyalty, Marquis of Jinyi, are you satisfied with this?”

Everyone thought that since Sima Changshen also dared to gamble on the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, he was obviously confident and determined to win it. At this time, the atmosphere was only tense, because no matter who lost or won, the four hereditary marquis since the founding of the country started tonight. There will be one less, and there will be only three hereditary candidates in Chu State from now on.

“Wait a minute.” Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “Zhongyihou’s words are vague. You said that if there are no important things in the carriage, the decree will be cut. Then tell everyone what is important and what is not important. things?”

Dou Kui thought that Qi Ning had even gambled on the title, and he didn’t have any hesitation. He calmed down and sneered: “Yes, Hou Zhongyi, you have to make this clear.”

Sima Changshen said: “Okay, then I’ll make it clear. If the carriage is not the gold and silver treasures collected by the palace, or the antique calligraphy and paintings, then the marquis loses. Yes, if Xiao Shaozong hides in it, Well, then there is no need to say more.”

Qi Ning immediately said: “Everyone listen carefully, these are the words of Hou Zhongyi himself. In order to avoid misunderstanding, I repeat, Hou Zhongyi means that if there are no gold and silver jewelry or antique calligraphy and paintings hidden in the carriage, Or if he is not the Prince of Huainan, then even if he is interfering in the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs and involved in matters beyond his power, he will ask the emperor to cut off his title of Marquis of Loyalty, Marquis of Loyalty, am I wrong?”

Sima Changshen nodded and said, “You’re right, that’s what Ben Hou meant.”

Qi Ning sneered, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

Com took two steps to the side, and said loudly: “Since Zhongyihou has invited the Queen Mother’s decree, I will no longer block it.” Pointing to the carriageway: “Zhongyihou may send someone to search for it, and turn the carriage upside down.”

Sima Changshen didn’t talk nonsense, and said solemnly: “Come here, search for me!”

The more than ten attendants he had led had been surrounding the carriage all the time. At this time, he gave an order, and without hesitation, the group rushed over like wolves and opened the carriage. Four or five boxes were lifted from the carriage.

The group of ministers were all around, and one by one, they stretched out their heads and probed their brains, lest they miss something.

The five boxes were placed in a row, and they were all locked and sealed. Sima Changshen showed a smug look on his face, and said solemnly, “Open the box!”

Several attendants immediately stepped forward, pried open the iron lock with a knife blade, and then opened all five boxes one by one. After opening, each box was covered with purple silk cloth, and Sima Changshen carried it with one hand behind him. , glanced at Dou Kui, saw that Dou Kui’s face was pale, the cold sweat on his forehead, and even his body was trembling slightly, Sima Changshen’s lips even sneered, and he glanced at Qi Ning again, only to see Qi Ning put his hands on his back and raised his head slightly to look up at the sky.

Sima Changshen walked to a box, stretched out his hand, and without saying a word, lifted the silk cloth covering it. What the hell was under the silk cloth, the moment Sima Changshen lifted the silk cloth, Dou Kui’s mouth twitched and he turned his head away, not daring to look at it.
