Go watch a play, watch a play! Anyway, Hong Jinglai was not going to move when he was watching a play.

King Sunjong, who was sitting on the vermilion throne, glanced sideways at Jin Zushun, and then pretended to ignore it. His opinions were generally not adopted anyway, so he might as well just watch the show.

Don't know, don't understand, don't understand, don't know, haven't heard of it!

King Sunjong thought very clearly!

Although Crown Prince Si'ao is his biological grandfather, he is only his great-uncle in the patriarchal clan system. King Sunjong has not even heard much about Crown Prince Si'ao's deeds, let alone meeting him.

After all, the verdict has not been completely overturned these days, and there is no such thing as calling him Crown Prince Zhuang Xian in the future, or even posthumously becoming King Zhuang Zong.

Most of the ministers in the palace are used to this kind of performance. Except for a few who actually shed tears, most of them just hung their heads lower and then pretended to be sad or sobbing.

"Let's think about mourning the crown prince first and then discuss it later. It's disrespectful in the palace, so let's send the general out first!" Seeing the terrible scene, Jin Zuchun ordered the other guards in the main hall to drag the people out.

"It's just a matter of feeling. Just keep your face calm. Why expel him from the palace?" Another official suddenly said.

Judging from his standing position, he was ranked very high. Hong Jinglai had no one to ask, and he didn't dare to ask. I don't know who this big boss was, but he directly refuted Jin Zuchun.

"Shen Gong's judgment has something to say!" Zhao Wanyong, who was standing nearby, knew more about it than Hong Jinglai and knew more people.

It turns out that it is Shen Huan, the leader of the secluded faction, who unites behind Princess Zhenshun, with the goal of overthrowing Jin Zuchun.

Unprincipled party struggle, opposition for the sake of opposition. If you say yes, I will say no, and if you say one, I will say no. If you don’t make any sense, if you are not convinced, you will fight.

But from what Zhao Wanyong said, it seemed that Shen Huan had some purpose, and the low-ranking official kneeling on the ground crying bitterly was just a pretext. If Jin Zuchun didn't care, then he could be criticized for his inability to manage the court. Jin Zuchun took care of it, so they jumped out.

"How can we cry when the country expresses gratitude for its talents and Jinshi?"

"Does mourning for the crown prince violate the laws of the state?"

"It is inconsistent with the etiquette! The etiquette cannot be abolished! The grand ceremony of the state is also a ritual system!"

"It is also a ritual to remember our ancestors!"

"Just a great-uncle! No longer in the line! Not a great-uncle!"

The quarrel between the two people continued to escalate. Princess Zhenchun behind the curtain, as the concubine who listened behind the curtain and was recognized by the Qing government, did not say anything to stop her.

Her inaction was the greatest help to Shen Huan. Concubine Wang, who was supposed to stabilize the order in the court, instead allowed the ministers to openly question the ministers in the hall. This fight went too far.

Along with the argument between Jin Zuchun and Shen Huan, officials from different factions began to attack each other throughout the hall.

At first, they were just arguing about whether the crying in the palace violated the etiquette of the Jingguo ceremony and whether they should be punished. Later, they were completely settling old scores with each other, bringing out everything that was trivial.

The biggest difference from the scoldings of shrews is that the words of these officials are not sharp in any way. Instead, their words touch the heart and only focus on moral cultivation.

For officials in the Li Dynasty, it was okay to have poor cultural level and bad work ability, but their moral quality could not be low. Once you were found to have low moral character, your life would be over, and you would definitely be infamy for eternity.

The new scholars who were originally standing in the center of the hall, dancing and thanking each other, have now been squeezed into the corner in front of the hall door, and there is even a possibility of being squeezed out of the door.

"Wasn't that rice cabinet provided by Hong Yongfeng? Isn't it a heinous crime for a humble minister to provide a weapon for killing his father?"

It was Shen Huan who fired the shots in the first place and loudly questioned Jin Zuchun, and what he said was a historical fact.

Hong Fenghan, the father-in-law of Prince Si'ao, was in charge of political affairs at that time and was granted the title of Lord of Yongfeng Mansion. At first, Hong Fenghan actively protected Prince Si'ao so that he could continue to be in charge of the government as the uncle of the state in the future.

However, the king who was in power at that time was King Yingzong after all, and Crown Prince Simao was always the crown prince. He only listened to and managed the affairs, not ruled.

Seeing that the conflict between father and son became more intense and the contradiction deepened day by day, Hong Fenghan finally gave up on his son, Si Mou, and tried his best to protect his grandson at that time, who would later become King Zhengzong.

When King Yingzong was questioning his son-in-law and mourning his son, he closed the palace door tightly, leaving only the royal family members and the leaders and ministers of the court. Hong Fenghan was at the scene at the time. Seeing his son-in-law being questioned and asked to commit suicide, it was not easy for him to think about it. .

As the crown prince, he could not be killed by swords, otherwise the body would be damaged and would not be accepted by the etiquette. And poison could not be used. The poisons at that time were nothing more than Pishuang (not a typo, this is the review), aconitum poison and the like. of.

Drinking that kind of poison is not only very painful, but also causes a lot of vomiting of blood. Some people may not die for several hours, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and their appearance will be very horrific when they die.

Then the only way to commit suicide is to hang yourself with white silk. But who among the ministers and clans would dare to hang the crown prince? It’s impossible even if you think about it. Let the crown prince Si Mou hang himself? It’s even more impossible. Just now When the person's body tightens and becomes breathless, the person's body naturally reacts by letting go.

Therefore, Prince Si Mou tried every possible means to seek death but was unable to do so. Hong Fenghan couldn't stand it anymore and begged King Yingzong not to kill him. King Yingzong refused and insisted on killing him.

Finally, Hong Fenghan was ordered to bring the rice cabinet, so that Prince Si Mou could not face his father and face his father, so that he could die without physical damage. In fact, he would starve to death or die of thirst.

There was no other way, so Hong Fenghan had no choice but to get the rice cabinet and lock Prince Si Mou in it.

The person who wanted to kill Crown Prince Si'ao was King Yingzong. The ministers here did not dare to say on the spot that the late king was a murderer and executioner. This was simply because of his longevity.

Naturally, you can only attack Hong Fenghan, who can barely be regarded as an "accomplice." Even if he was ordered, who told you to do it?

"Hong Yongfeng has been deprived of his reward by the late king. His crime has been punished and there is nothing wrong with him!"

"There's nothing wrong with it?" Shen Huan sneered when faced with Jin Zuchun's words.

"It's nothing wrong!" Jin Zuchun said tit for tat.

"The grandson of such a rebellious and evil thief was actually ranked first in the ranking list. Is this a way of reward and punishment?" Shen Huan asked sharply.

The eyes of the ministers present all gathered at the entrance of the hall, and they found Hong Jinglai standing in the first row among the Jinshi.

"Renxu Ke Jinshi Literary Examination, third place in Class A, Hong Jinglai, Tieshan County, Ping'an Road, how is your three-generation family lineage!"

Leaving aside Jin Zuchun, Shen Huan pointed the wat board directly at Hong Jinglai, his eyes full of oppression.

Hong Jinglai was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Is your grandfather called Hong Fengzhen, and your father is called Hong Leyou?"

"Your Highness! This person is the grandson of Hong Yongfeng, who murdered his ancestor's son. His crime is so heinous that both humans and gods are outraged!"

Not allowing Hong Jing to answer, Shen Huan bowed and saluted King Sunjong who was sitting upright and Princess Jeongsun behind the curtain, to confirm the nature of this matter.
