The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 127

It was just dawn, and the palace hall was already full of officials.

Zhao Kuangyin went to the court early, and discussed with the officials as usual. After discussing for more than half an hour, Zhao Kuangyin felt that everything that should be discussed had been discussed, so he asked: "Is there any Ai Qing who has a book to play?"

After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, Lu Duoxun nodded slightly to his own people, and then one of them came out and said: "My lord, I want to impeach Liu Wei. During the negotiation between Liu Wei and the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue, it may have been impeached by the Southern Tang Dynasty. People from Tang, Wu and Yue countries were bribed, please the emperor thoroughly investigate this matter."

When the official said this, the entire court was shocked.

The business with the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wuyue and Wuyue has long since ended, so why do people still question this?
King Jin stood under the hall, and after a little analysis, he knew what was going on. The person who stood up was promoted by Xuefu Academy. Now Xuefu Academy's reputation has been discredited. He wants to help Murong Bo teach Liu Wei a lesson. Makes sense.

It's just that the King of Jin knew this, but he couldn't say it. Some time ago, the people of King Jin had benefited from the imperial examination. At that time, the emperor didn't see anything, but if he knew that Lu Mengzheng, Li Hang and others were all What would he think of his Jinwang?
The king of Jin believed that Zhao Kuangyin already knew this, so now Zhao Kuangyin was even more jealous of him. If he stood up to speak for Liu Wei, he would be considered to have subdued Liu Wei, which would make Zhao Kuangyin even more jealous of him. , then it would be difficult for him, King Jin, to accomplish anything in the court.

Murong Bo's people were talking in the hall, as if Liu Wei had really become a spy.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, and suddenly asked after a long time: "I heard that Liu Wei wrote more than a dozen good poems a few days ago, but is that so?"

All the ministers were taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Zhao Kuangyin asked this question suddenly.

"Brother Huihuang, a few days ago Liu Wei did compose more than a dozen good poems. The younger brother was there at the time. Liu Wei and the people from the academy and academy were fighting over wine and spelling out the poems, which made people's blood boil even more."

The King of Jin had personally witnessed this matter, so he had no choice but to make a statement.

After Zhao Kuangyin listened, he nodded slightly. Although he didn't go out of the palace often, he knew about the affairs outside the palace. He also knew that Murongbo Xuefu Academy's reputation was all because of Liu Wei. Most of the people who stand up in the court today are from universities. The people of the academy, then it is clear what is going on.

After King Jin finished talking, Zhao Kuangyin said with a slight smile, "I heard that the refined salt of the Great Song Dynasty has been circulated in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue, but is that so?"

After Zhao Kuangyin asked, the official in charge of the matter quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the case. Nowadays, the people of Southern Tang and Wuyue cannot do without our refined salt."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Then, what else do you Ai Qing have to say?"

Zhao Kuangyin only asked two questions to let everyone in the court understand that these officials impeached Liu Wei because Liu Wei made their academy notorious, and since Liu Wei can circulate refined salt in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wuyue and Wuyue , then how could he be a spy?
The impeachment of those ministers just fell apart.

Lu Duoxun frowned slightly. He originally thought that even if Liu Wei could not be killed, it would be possible to peel off Liu Wei's skin, but he never expected that Zhao Kuangyin would be so partial to Liu Wei, and it was only at this time that he finally understood , although the emperor in front of him doesn't leave the palace at all, he can't hide many things outside the palace from him.

Therefore, Lu Duoxun, who wanted to stand up and speak up, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated. He is a smart man who understands current affairs, so he will not be too straightforward and anger Zhao Kuangyin.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and asked again: "Which minister has something to say?"

After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, an official came out and said, "Return to the Holy Lord, I have something to report."

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, Xuefu Academy is a place for teaching and educating people, but now Xuefu Academy has a very bad reputation, and the students taught in this way will not be much better. If they enter the court, wouldn't it be a disaster for my court?"

As soon as the official who stood up said this, all the scholars who came out of the academy and academies shouted.

"Master Zhang, do you mean that all of us have misbehaved?"

"Are we all the scourge of the court?"

"Master Zhang, please speak clearly..."

The courtroom suddenly became chaotic, but Master Zhang who stood up looked as usual, and at this time, another minister stood up and said: "If you want us to believe that you, the scholars who come from the academy, should be the pillars of the country. You have to do something, but seeing how you framed Consort Liu just now, we really can't believe how good your character is."

Then, another minister stood up.

"I heard that Murong Bo, the dean of Xuefu Academy, opened a brothel in Yanhua Lane, Beijing. It's called Qinmofang. If a teacher who teaches and educates people opens a brothel, what kind of students will he teach?"

As soon as this person said this, the entire court was shocked.

"What, Murong Bo actually opened a brothel?"

"There is such a thing?"

"Sweep the floor gracefully, sweep the floor gracefully!"

"Whoa, when you are not a teacher..."

Scholars and scholars can go to brothels, that's an elegant thing, but it's another matter to open brothels for skin and meat business.

Lu Duoxun already had a bad feeling after that Master Zhang stepped forward to speak. Now that he heard this, his heart sank even more, but at this time he still did not speak. He is a smart person. From today Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to see that this is a situation set up by someone long ago, and even what happened last night was already planned by others. If he gets out about his troubles in the brothel, then he will no longer have the face to be an official.

Zhao Kuangyin remained calm, looking at the official who said that Murong Bo opened a brothel and asked, "Sun Aiqing, do you have evidence for Murong Bo's brothel?"

The official's surname was Sun Mingming. When Sun Ming saw Zhao Kuangyin's question, he quickly stood up and said, "Of course there is evidence. The reputation of the academy and academy has been discredited these days, so I have been careful to investigate. After this investigation, I found that Qin Mo The owner of the shop, Miss Chunfeng, is actually Murong Bo's former maid, and Murong Bo bought the piano and ink shop with money."

After saying that, Sun Ming had already presented the evidence. Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly after reading it: "It's a shame, it's a shame for scholars."
-
When autumn frost rises, the fragrance of flowers outside the window is clear, the wind is soft, and the sound of birds is as beautiful as a melody.

She was a little lazy when she got up, adding a touch of charm to her shrewd face, but after some makeup, she looked shrewd and capable again.

When she went to find Murong Bo, Murong Bo was waiting excitedly for the news from the court. Today Lu Duoxun will attack Liu Wei. He wants to let Liu Wei know how powerful he is. If Liu Wei is willing to stand up and make peace with him at that time, he will save him. He might consider giving Liu Wei a way out for the business of the academy.

Seeing Qiushuang coming, Murong Bo smiled and said, "Sit down quickly and play a game of chess with me."

Qiu Shuang smiled slightly, and sat down opposite Murong Bo, then picked up Baizi and played against Murong Bo, the two chatted while playing, and then they talked about what happened in Qinmofang last night.

After Qiushuang listened to Murong Bo's narration, the white piece in her hand fell with a snap, Murong Bo frowned slightly, feeling deeply uncomfortable, and said, "But what's wrong?"

Qiu Shuang's face suddenly paled: "I'm afraid something is wrong, Zhao Chengxu and Liu Wei have a very close relationship, and Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baoxing is among those young masters, so Liu Wei must have known that Qinmofang is Mr. That’s why Shi Baoxing learned about it so that Shi Shouxin could attack Mr. in court.”

"This..." Murong Bo couldn't believe Qiu Shuang's words for a while, he felt that Qiu Shuang's words were too alarmist: "Then how did Liu Wei know that Qin Mo Fang belongs to this old man?"

Qiu Shuang sighed softly: "I didn't believe it at first, but as soon as what happened last night, it must have been a fact. Based on this guess, it is not difficult to understand. Before Liu Wei went to Qinmofang to redeem Xiaodie, it was only a short period of time. This matter spread all over the capital within a day, and it is extremely possible that Liu Wei is suspicious of Qinmofang, and with Liu Wei's ability, it is not difficult to investigate who owns Qinmofang."

After Qiushuang said this, Murong Bocai felt that the matter was extremely serious.

"If my predictions are correct, Shi Shouxin is probably going to do something to my husband this morning."

"Then...then what should the old man do now?"

At this time, Murong Bo has lost his composure. If the officials in the court know that Qinmofang is his Murong Bo's property, then Murong Bo will never want to be the dean of the academy again. Are people here to teach and educate people?
However, Murong Bo's failure to be the dean is a minor matter, the college is disbanded, and his power in the court is disintegrated, which is a major matter. In this case, all his efforts will be in vain, and even doomed.

After pondering for a long time, Qiu Shuang finally said, "Sir, I'm afraid the academy will not be able to keep it."

When Murong Bo heard what Qiu Shuang said, he couldn't help sighing softly: "I didn't expect the old man to be defeated by that kid Liu Wei." Having said this, Murong Bo suddenly cheered up again: "Qiu Shuang, you just said that the school The academy can't be kept, but it doesn't mean that the forces in the court can't be kept, right?"

Qiu Shuang nodded slightly: "That's right, the academy can't be kept, but as long as the master is willing to learn from Goujian, the king of Yue, to lurk temporarily, the power in the court can still be preserved."

Murong Bo had been forbearance when he was the dean of the Academy, now it is not difficult for him to forbear again, so he quickly asked: "How to keep it safe?"

"Sir, if you want to preserve the forces in the court, you should abandon them first."

"Abandon them?"

"That's right, abandon them and make them belong to the second prince Zhao Dezhao."

After hearing Qiushuang's words, Murong Bo already understood, nodded slightly, and said: "In that case, then please go and say hello to Xia He."
