Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 846

The morning sun was rising gradually, and the bright golden sunlight reflected on the wide street. The weather was dull and there was no breeze, which made people feel hot and hot.

Zhu Yi also looked coldly at Bi Wang who was pressing the embroidered spring knife, without the slightest intention to back down.

"Since Bi Tongzhi said that I was obstructing official duties, please ask Bi Tongzhi to do it. The Duke of the country is standing here. If you want to arrest someone, you must first arrest the Duke of the country. I want to see if you still dare to come before His Majesty." So reckless!"

While speaking, Zhu Yi took a step forward, kicked away the Jin Yiwei who was holding Ren Shou away, stood in front of the people in the Ren residence, straightened her back, and said.

"Bi Wang, I'm going to put my words here today. With my country's prince here, you don't want to take anyone away from Ren's mansion!"

In a short sentence, it is majestic and awe-inspiring, and the aura of the Duke's Mansion is fully displayed.

Hearing this, Bi Wang's complexion changed, on the contrary, he looked a little cloudy and uncertain, and said speculatively.

"So, the Duke is going to resist the decree?"

"You don't use the decree to scare your country's prince, Bi Wang, I think you are the one who wants to resist the decree!"

Zhu Yi stood where she was, with stern eyes, and said sharply.

"Don't think that no one knows your Jin Yiwei's means and thoughts. The Marquis of the Renfu's family has accumulated countless wealth behind them. You are eager to pick up plaques and search the house, just to plunder the property."

"You still dare to say the decree of our country's public resistance, not to mention the purpose of the Holy Mother Yi, who clearly understands that the people in the Yunren Mansion wait for the bones to be collected for Ren Li before they are copied and exiled. To blame the Ren family, I never wanted to force all of them to death."

"However, you guys are doing wrong under the banner of His Majesty and ruining His Majesty's kindness and holiness. Bi Wang, I just want to ask you, do you dare to follow me to confront Your Majesty, and see if His Majesty has ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest Ren Fu immediately and put him in jail?" !"

The words pointed directly at Bi Wang's guilty conscience, and he didn't know how to refute.

It has to be said that the background of the old family is not only reflected in financial resources, material resources and personal connections, but more importantly, it also lies in the familiarity with the unspoken rules and dark methods of the imperial court.

You must know that Jinyiwei and Dongchang have never been synonymous with glory and righteousness. No one in the court, except the emperor, has a good impression of these two. This is not just a prejudice.

It is because these two belong only to the imperial court, and no one can restrain them except the emperor. In order to achieve the goal, it is normal to do whatever it takes to do whatever it takes.

In addition, because they are self-contained, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always been domineering and unscrupulous, such as ransacking a house, and such fat and oily errands are even more unscrupulous.

This is especially the case for noble families like the Ren family. Although they have not been enshrined for a long time, they started their family by relying on the invading army and once guarded Gansu for decades. A little oil and water is enough to feed the Jin Yiwei.

What Zhu Yi said was correct, Jin Yiwei was so eager to raid the house, in fact, it was because he took a fancy to the Ren family's wealth.

The Ren family was not the same as the other mansions that were confiscated. The whole family was confiscated. The emperor issued an order to pardon the clan members over 60 years old, and allowed Ren Li to keep his descendants to support him.

In particular, it was necessary to organize the funeral for Ren Li, and the expenses involved were originally confiscated by Jin Yiwei.

Therefore, Bi Wang's plan is actually very simple. First arrest the entire Ren family, lock it up for a few days, then confiscate the family property, and then roll up Ren Li's body and throw it away at random. The person who should be released is released.

Jin Yiwei has done a lot of things like this.

Moreover, there were many officials in the court that day, and the specific situation was not a secret at all. Bi Wang knew very well that this Marquis Ren had already been given up by the civil and military nobles, and no one would come to replace them. Get ahead.

What's more, a phoenix with hair is not as good as a chicken, and the Ningyuan Houfu lost its title, it is just an ordinary commoner, and no one will care if it is closed for a few days.

Usually this kind of thing happened a lot, that's why Bi Wang dared to be so unscrupulous, but who would have thought that a Cheng Guogong would suddenly appear.

Zhu Yi was right, Bi Wang didn't dare to confront the emperor at all.

It is true that Jin Yiwei is carrying out the imperial decree of the emperor, but in the imperial decree, it is not clear when the family will be confiscated and exiled.

The Son of Heaven is benevolent, it is not difficult to agree to such a trivial matter as restraining the bones, and such a small detail will not make another imperial decree.

This loophole was exploited by Jin Yiwei. No one would dare to defy the imperial decree of the emperor, but no one knew about some small tricks in private, or if they knew, no one might care.

However, if the trouble came to the imperial court and the emperor blamed it, no matter how small it was, it would be no small matter.

However, it has come to this point, and it is not good for Bi Wang to retreat.

Still the same sentence, if Zhu Yi didn't come forward, then today's house was copied, and no one in the capital would care about a dilapidated mansion.

But once the Duke of the State came forward, it was different. Duke Cheng has a special status. He is not only a high-ranking high-ranking officer, but also a loyal supporter of the Supreme Emperor. His every move is watched by countless people, both openly and secretly. Regardless of today's results No matter what, it is bound to attract the attention of many important people, and even in the end, it will reach the ears of the emperor.

If Zhu Yi just intervened by himself, then Bi Wang admits to being cowardly, and he is the one who loses face. Jin Yiwei is at a loss, and facing the pressure of a prince, it’s okay to stop for the time being, at most it’s Bi Wang. Wang himself was talked about in private as being spineless.

However, Zhu Yi did not come by herself, but came with the order of the Holy Mother. As a result, Bi Wang was a little bit hard to get off.

On the front foot, he also said that he was acting according to the decree, but when he turned his head and the Holy Mother's decree came out, if Jin Yiwei withdrew in such a disheveled manner, wouldn't it mean that the emperor's decree was not as useful as the Holy Mother's decree?
The emperor has always been very strict with Jin Yiwei. Originally, if the emperor found out about this matter, he would definitely be punished.

However, the punishment varies from mild to severe.

The mistake of taking advantage of the loopholes to search the Hou's mansion in advance has already been committed. If we say that we retreat in a panic at this time, then even the emperor will lose face.

So at this time, Bi Wang couldn't withdraw. He took a deep breath, and Bi Wang cupped his hands.

"My lord, I don't know what you are talking about. Jin Yiwei has always acted according to orders. If you have any dissatisfaction with Jin Yiwei, you can impeach His Majesty. However, before receiving the order, I forgive you for offending me."

After finishing speaking, Bi Wang straightened up, raised his hand, and said.

"come..."

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the side.

"Old lady!"

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw the silver-haired old lady of the Ren family, who had fallen limply to the ground at some point.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi's expression froze, she left Bi Wang alone, and came to the old lady's side in three or two steps, probed her breath, then grabbed the old lady's wrist and touched it, and then she felt relieved .

However, he didn't show anything on his face, but ordered hurriedly to the people beside him.

"Go get the doctor!"

Zhu Yi said in a low voice as she carefully handed over the old lady of the Ren family to the female family members of the Ren family.

"The old lady was frightened and fainted for a while, don't worry too much."

Afterwards, he stood up, strode up to Bi Wang, and shouted sharply.

"Bi Wang, let me say it again, His Majesty has long made a decree to forgive the elders of the Ren family who are over sixty years old, and the old lady of the Ren family is the one whom His Majesty specifically asked to forgive."

"You have acted so recklessly today, if the old lady makes a mistake because of this, I would like to see how you Jin Yiwei will explain to His Majesty!"

"Don't hurry up!"

Seeing the chaotic situation in front of the Ren mansion because the old lady of the Ren family fainted, Bi Wang heaved a sigh of relief.

It is true that the old lady of the Ren family was the one whom the emperor named and pardoned. From the very beginning, Jin Yiwei just wanted to arrest them all, but they dare not really hurt their lives.

Now that the old lady is so dizzy, it can be regarded as a step that is not a step.

At the moment, Bi Wang didn't care about losing face, so he hurriedly said a few words.

"Since the Duke insists on this, then it depends on how long you can keep the Ren family. Come and guard all the entrances and exits of the Ren mansion. After the doctor's diagnosis, they will be confiscated!"

Having said that, it was just to restore a bit of momentum. Now that things have become so big, the matter of confiscating Ren's mansion must wait until after Ren Li beheaded and buried.

So, such a farce came to an end, and a few teams of guards in brocade guards were left around the Ren mansion to prevent everyone from escaping, so Bi Wang left in an anticlimactic manner.

After sending away the evil god, the people of the Ren mansion hurriedly carried the old lady of the Ren family and Ren Hong into the courtyard, because all the entrances and exits of the Ren mansion were guarded, and no one could go out, so they could go The only ones who invited the doctor were the followers brought by Zhu Yi.

Therefore, Zhu Yi simply followed in.

After inviting the doctor to come over and go to the side room to make a diagnosis, Ren Shou freed up his hand and asked someone to serve Zhu Yi some refreshments, then bowed solemnly and said.

"Thank you, Grandpa Guo, for your righteousness. If there is no Grandpa Guo's help today, Ren will be fine, but my grandmother and mother are old. If they are really caught in the imperial prison, I am afraid that they will not survive. Grandpa Ende, Ren X I will never forget it, please accept Ren Mou's worship!"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi got up quickly, helped Ren Shou up, and said.

"Young Master Ren, what are you doing? Although your father and I haven't known each other for a long time, we are both noble families, and we share the same spirit. I am extremely ashamed that I couldn't keep your father safe. How dare you accept your punishment?" present?"

"What's more, I didn't do anything, you have to thank, and you should also thank the grace of Our Lady."

"Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, relying on the favor of the emperor, stepped on the highs and lows, and acted recklessly. It has not been a day. Then Bi Wang is so domineering today because he has the imperial edict in his hand. The fox pretends to be the tiger. If there is no order from the Holy Mother, even I If I want to protect you from the top to bottom of the house, I'm afraid I'm not able to do it."

Although Ren Shou is not a person with outstanding talents, he is not stupid after all because he grew up in a noble family. Even if what Zhu Yi said is true, he can be the only noble who is willing to help at this time, and he is from the Duke's Mansion. The mansion, of course, must not be offended.

Shaking his head, Ren Shou said.

"The kindness of the Holy Mother is naturally remembered by everyone in the Ren family. However, if there is no Duke running for the Ren family, and the Virgin lives in the palace, how can they know the situation of the Ren family, let alone the lenient decree."

"Ren is not talented, but we can clearly distinguish between right and wrong kindness. Although the Ren mansion is now in decline, and his status is very different from that of the Duke, but kindness is kindness. If the Duke needs help in the future, Everyone in the Ren family will definitely do their best."

The words are very sincere, but both parties know that this is just talking.

With the status of Cheng Guogong's mansion, what can a down-and-out Ren family who can't even keep themselves help?

What's more, although Bi Wang left, it was only for a while, and Jin Yiwei was still scattered around Ren's mansion.

Just waiting for tomorrow's execution and after Ren Li's burial, this huge Hou's mansion will eventually collapse.

Thinking of this, Ren Shou couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, and stopped talking. Zhu Yi glanced at him, but didn't speak.

As a result, the flower hall fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere gradually permeated.

"Master Ren, Mrs. Ren, there is nothing serious about the old lady, as long as you calm down and recuperate, it will be fine, but..."

Not long after, the doctor carrying the medicine box came out from the side room and bowed his hands in salute, but his expression was somewhat troubled.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yi immediately understood, sighed, and opened her mouth to ask.

"Doctor Xia, but Young Master Ren hurt his heart?"

Zhu Yi was born in a general family. Apart from practicing martial arts and studying, she would also read some medical books to pass the time.

In particular, his father-in-law, Hu Wei, was not only an important minister, but also a well-known master of medicine, so Zhu Yi had some experience in medical skills.

When he took the pulse of the old lady of the Ren family just now, he found out that the old lady was fine at all, and she fainted at that time, on the one hand, it was to cooperate with him to deal with Bi Wang, and on the other hand, she was also worried about her great-grandson.

At that time, in order to protect her, Ren Hong, the young master of the Ren family, was kicked twice by two tall and burly Jin Yiwei, vomiting blood on the spot, and was put on heavy shackles.

When Zhu Yi first arrived, she found out that Ren Hong's injury was not serious. If he didn't treat it immediately, the root cause of the disease might be left behind.

After hearing Zhu Yi's words, Ren Shou felt dizzy for a while, and stared closely at Dr. Xia, hoping to hear a different answer from him.

However, the answer is indeed different, but...

"Mr. returning to the country really hurt the lungs. If the diagnosis is correct, the young master should have congestion in his lungs. In addition, the young master has two broken ribs, and the bones must be reattached immediately, otherwise it is very likely to cause serious injury. and life."

"However, the little one came in a hurry and didn't bring the anesthetic and the necessary utensils. He had already sent someone to fetch them. When the things came back, the little one immediately started to set the young master's bone."

This Dr. Xia is a well-known doctor in the capital, that is, someone like Zhu Yi, so he can be invited here at any time. Such a thing as bone setting is naturally a trivial matter.

Seeing this situation, although Ren Shou was anxious, he could only ask Dr. Xia to rest in the side room first.

After Doctor Xia's figure disappeared into the flower hall, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, knelt down in front of Zhu Yi with a plop, and said.

"Grandpa, Ren has something to do, please help him!"
