Chapter 267 No Explanation
When Concubine Beixiang went out, she was still a little drunk.
It happened that a noble lady was about to go home after celebrating the incense. For some reason, she bumped into her.
Originally, this was a trivial matter, but an old lady happened to pass by and recognized Concubine Beixiang, and she called her identity broken.
When Lou Yan saw that something was wrong, he quickly took Concubine Beixiang back.
But things have spread.
When Yu Shenzhi arrived at Dali Temple, he saw officials gathering together to eat fried goods.
"...He should be in trouble now, right?"
"You may be sure that your Majesty will protect him?"
"If you protect him, you can't protect such a big thing, right? Can you agree?"
“That’s right…”
Yu Shenzhi walked over and touched a peanut: "What are you talking about?"
"Yu Tucheng." The judges bowed, "We are talking about the return of Concubine Beixiang."
"Has Concubine Beixiang returned to Beijing?" Yu Shenzhi was surprised.
"You don't know Yu Tuicheng?" The judges were even more surprised.
Yu Shenzhi chewed the peanuts a few times and nodded: "Oh, what I said."
That Beixiang came to do this, right?
Yu Shenzhi had always had no airs, so the judges came over and said, "Yu Tucheng, do you think Lord Lou will be unlucky?"
"You guys talk about Lou Yan?"
"yes!"
Yu Shenzhi thought for a while: "It's hard to say."
The judges were disappointed: "You don't think it's easy to say? Are you fooling us?"
"What am I fooling about!" Yu Shenzhi waved his hand, "It's really hard to say. Think about it, why should Concubine Beixiang return to Beijing?"
The judges looked at each other and shook their eyes.
"How do we know this?"
Yu Shenzhi sneered: "What are you pretending? Do you suspect that Beixiang's title is going to be troubled again?"
A few judges laughed dryly.
Yu Shenzhi pointed at them with his fingers: "Look, if the magistrates think like you, then things will be complicated."
Some commentator asked: "Is there something simple?"
"Of course there is!" Yu Shenzhi said, "After all, Concubine Beixiang is still a mother-like woman. Is it necessary for her to come to the capital? Think about what will happen if your mother suddenly comes to the capital?"
Several judges exchanged their eyes, and one of them smiled and said, "What else can you do? Of course, it's for your children and grandchildren. How is the family going? Whether the grandchildren are good or not is nothing more than this."
"Isn't this going to end?" Yu Shenyi spread his hands, "Your mother will do this, can't Concubine Beixiang?"
The judges showed strange expressions.
Yu Shenzhi was dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Are I wrong?"
One of the commentators said: "Yu Tucheng, according to what you said, is Concubine Beixiang visiting her son?"
"Otherwise?" Yu Shenzhi said, "Lou Si is older than me. My mother has been thinking about my marriage in the past few years, but I don't believe it. How can his mother be in a hurry!"
That's true...
To put it bluntly, the judges are very boring.
I thought there was a lot of fun to watch, but I just had an old mother to urge her to get married for a long time, and it was boring.
"Let's go and go back to work."
Yu Shenzhi walked at the end, chewing peanuts expressionlessly.
Things can be simple, of course they can be complicated, it depends on what people think.
I am afraid that the lords in the court will not want to think simple.
Yu Shenzhi guessed right.
At this time, someone wrote a book in the court.
".........If there is no edict, I will go to Beijing without a single order. If I enter the capital and hide it from reporting it, I will be the second. Such a way makes people have to doubt their intentions. Lord Lou, do you want to explain?"
The emperor had known this news, so he ignored it and gave Lou Yan face. At this time, it was revealed in public. It was impossible to ignore it, so he had to ask, "Is that true?"
Under the unfriendly eyes of the censor, Lou Yan stepped out: "Your Majesty, there is such a thing."
"What do you say about Censor Feng's question?"
Lou Yan paused for a moment and replied: "I don't know how to explain it."
Before the emperor could speak, the censor who had already jumped out and was aggressive: "Lou Tongzheng can't explain it, so he has to plead guilty?"
Lou Yan glanced at him with a plain expression: "Mr. Feng is thinking too much, but the official just thinks that there is no need to explain."
With such a tone and such an answer, it seems that there is no need to care about what is in front of you at all.
Censor Feng was angry and asked loudly: "Lou Tongzheng! Your Majesty is currently there, how can you allow you to be so arrogant? You don't think there is any need to explain such a major event. Do you take Your Majesty seriously and the court's laws seriously? Or do you really regard Beixiang as a place beyond the law?"
A place beyond the law! This is like accusation. Beixiang has no imperial power in his eyes. If he is serious, he can cut off everyone in the Lou family.
Lou Yan just said lightly: "Mr. Feng is worthy of being the censor. A very common sentence will make you interpret so many officials who don't know what they mean."
The calmer he was, the more angry the Censor Feng was. Why, was he so not enough to take his impeachment seriously?
"you……"
Seeing that Censor Feng was so angry that his face turned pale, Prime Minister Chang Yong had to stand up and smooth things over.
"Lou Tongzheng, if you don't want to explain, you have to have an explanation, right? This is not a trivial matter. Concubine Beixiang is your biological mother. As a son, you can't watch her in prison, right?"
The Prime Minister still needs to give face. Lou Yan bowed to him slightly and replied, "It's not that the officials are unwilling to explain, but that they have no way to start. Let me ask, the old mother at home came to visit relatives thousands of miles away. What is the necessary explanation for this? Why don't you tell the officials, how should they explain when they encounter such a situation?"
When the ministers heard this, their faces were different.
Of course they will encounter this situation, but is Concubine Beixiang an ordinary mother?
Chang Yong frowned and asked him: "What do you mean is that the Concubine Beixiang came to Beijing to visit relatives?"
Lou Yan asked back: "Otherwise, why else can it be done?"
Feng Jingshi sneered: "Lou Tongzheng, don't argue. The Concubine Beixiang is an extraordinary person. Even if she comes to visit relatives, she will have to report. What's more, who doesn't know that you and the brothers of King Beixiang? Your Lord Lou's name has been dismissed from the genealogy of the Lou clan! In this case, Concubine Beixiang will come to the capital to visit relatives? Do you think others are fools? Sneaky and sneaky, I have reason to suspect that you are ill-intentioned!"
Lou Yan was criticized like this, but laughed instead of anger.
He just listened to him slowly and said: "Mr. Feng said it well. Since you know that the lower officials have been expelled from the clan, how should the Concubine Beixiang come to Beijing to visit relatives?"
Censor Feng was stunned.
"My name is no longer on the genealogy, and I am no longer the son of Concubine Beixiang. How would she write this memorial and how would her Majesty approve it?"
"this……"
"Mr. Feng's question is in your own words. So the official said that there is no need to explain."
