Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 617
In the early morning, the sky was just showing a hint of fish belly, and the gate of the court was full of officials waiting to go to court.

There are too many things happening these days, making people dizzy and stressed. The officials yawned and exchanged glances with each other, all with a cautious look that dare not talk too much.

Someone whispered: "Hey, isn't that Mr. Chuanli? Why is he here? Haven't you taken the sedan chair yet?"

Because Chuanli was old, he had long been granted a dispensation not to go to the court, and if he had something to do, he could take a soft sedan to go directly to the gate of the court.

This is a supreme honor, so every time Chuanli came, he would take a soft sedan chair, and even last time, when all the officials came to advise him, he also sat in it.

But today, not only did Chuanli not take a sedan chair, nor did he bring anyone to wait on him, but he came here slowly with an ordinary cane.

His old disciples immediately surrounded him to ask him how he was, and wanted to help him: "Why don't you take the sedan chair today, my lord? You don't bring anyone around to serve you."

Chuan Li waved his hand, not allowing them to help, he walked under the remonstrance drum, looked up at the huge drum for a while, slowly climbed up the drum platform, threw away the crutches, and picked up the drumsticks.

All the officials were shocked when they saw this, does the old man still want to make an admonition?

I haven't heard that His Majesty has done anything outrageous in the past two days. Although Zhong Weiwei came out of the imperial prison, it was a special situation, and with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess watching, nothing happened.

If you make trouble again, you will be beaten.

Many people felt pain in their buttocks, and rushed over to persuade him: "My lord, what do you want to remonstrate?"

"If you have something to say, let's talk about the regulations."

Chuan Li turned a deaf ear, raised the drumstick, and beat it heavily on the remonstrance drum with all his strength.

In a daze, he thought of the scholar in Tsing Yi who had just entered Beijing from the borderlands. He was in full bloom and full of ambition. Standing here, looking up at the many imperial palaces, his heart was filled with awe and joy, and he vowed to protect his homeland and make immortal achievements. , Eternal fragrance...

I thought of that magnificent young woman, dressed in plain clothes, awe-inspiring and righteous, walking out from the court gate, the resoluteness and brilliance between her brows and eyes were more dazzling than the most rare gems in the world, and she never looked back...

There was a soreness in his heart, and a surge of passionate blood was stirred up. He waved his old arms and knocked again and again. The old and passionate voice echoed endlessly among the palaces——

"Chuan Li, a sinful minister, guilty of the grace of the saints, greedy for glory, selfish, succumbing to the evil spirit Xiaoxiao, not redressing grievances, not correcting mistakes...One thought, blood flowed into rivers, resulting in hardships for the people and the decline of national strength..."

As the sun rose and the breeze picked up, Chuanli's snow-white beard and wide purple official uniform fluttered in the wind, and they were even coated with a light layer of gold.

All the officials were silent, they looked at Chuanli foolishly, unable to believe what they had just heard.

People quickly exchanged glances. Could it be that Mr. Webster and his son really followed the words of Mr. Chuanli and did something wrong, so that the evening festival would not be guaranteed?
Some people also suspected that His Majesty must have forced the boss to do this, otherwise how could there be such a big difference?
One of Chuanli's disciples couldn't bear it, and wept bitterly: "Teacher, did the student hear correctly? Are you confused?"

Chuan Li turned a deaf ear to it, and loudly repeated what he said just now. It was a confession, but when he read it, there was another kind of impassionedness in it.

The court door was gradually opened, and the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly sounded, announcing that all the officials went to court.

Chuan Li threw the drumsticks away, got off the drum platform like a young boy, walked in front of the officials without hesitation, and strode in.

Chonghua Gao sat on the dragon seat, silently overlooking Chuanli who was striding forward.

Seeing him plead guilty, state his crimes, remove his official hat and uniform, and plead guilty on the ground, I feel a little more sadness in my heart, which dilutes the fact that Zhong Weiwei and his brother can finally get out of the fence and officially launch the review of Qiu Zeyi. case of joy.

The news about Chuanli's favoritism, disregarding human life, and misjudgment of the former Da Sicha Qiuze's treason, which led to the extinction of the Xuexiqiu family and the dynasties of Li's tea ceremony talent, swept through the capital quickly like a tornado, and before noon, Everyone in the streets knew about it.

Zhong Weiwei was invited to the main courtyard where the eldest princess lived.

The eldest princess leaned on the soft couch in front of the window, staring at a bowl of goldfish on the window sill in a daze. The female officer reminded her several times before she woke up: "You are here. Sit down."

The eldest princess looked tired, she seemed to have not slept all night, and her voice was very hoarse, she raised her arm and rubbed it, her expression was very painful.

Zhong Weiwei thought for a while and asked, "I had cold legs before, and I learned a few hands-on massage techniques, which can relieve the pain. If you don't mind, let me rub it for you?"

The Eldest Princess stretched out her hand: "Then I will trouble you."

Zhong Weiwei stepped forward, sat down beside her, held her arms in his arms and kneaded them.

The Eldest Princess closed her eyes comfortably, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Zhong Weiwei shook his head: "I don't know."

The eldest princess suddenly opened her eyes, and her old eyes were shining brightly: "Didn't His Majesty tell you?"

Zhong Weiwei shyly said, "No, after His Majesty came last night, he quarreled with me for most of the night for a gold medal for avoiding death."

The fact that Chonghua rewarded her with a gold medal to save her from death cannot be concealed. Instead of telling the Eldest Princess, it is better for her to tell her, so as not to change the taste.

"Little children..." The Eldest Princess snorted and said indifferently: "Today is your big day. Chuanli will beat the remonstrance drum at the court today, plead guilty and surrender to His Majesty, and explain the case of your father back then. There is indeed a grievance. Presumably at this moment, he has already done it."

Chonghua came over last night and didn't mention it at all, he just said to let her bear it for a few days and he would pick her up as soon as possible.Zhong Weiwei didn't expect that this case was actually related to Chuanli, but when he thought of Chuanli's leading opposition to her, he understood somewhat.

So, father is really wronged, not really treason?Wasn't it just wishful thinking that she was a child of a man?

Zhong Weiwei's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up and said, "Is it true? Is it not because of other reasons?" For example, did Chonghua force Chuanli to confess his guilt by means?
"You underestimated His Majesty, and underestimated Chuanli too much. If your father is really treasonous and his crime is unforgivable, they will not show favoritism. At most, they will reward you based on their merits and select your brother and sister."

The eldest princess sighed deeply: "What happened back then, so many people died, my Li country blood flowed like a river, and since then the tea ceremony talents have been cut off, and the national strength has declined, and it has not improved until today. Chuanli, too, Involuntarily, he is also very sad, he has blamed himself for many years, and has trouble sleeping and eating, can you...don't blame him?"

Zhong Weiwei stopped and looked at the eldest princess silently.
