Yang Ziqi was imprisoned, and the imperial prison was imposed.

After entering the imperial prison, even if a person can come out, he will have to take off his skin. Cheng Minzheng back then was a lesson learned from the past.

In this matter, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang did not speak for Yang Ziqi. It was not that they watched Yang Ziqi die, but because they didn't know how to make an appeal for Yang Ziqi. After all, the supervisors wrote a joint letter to impeach him. Whether it was Li Xing, Tan You and Li Li, the reports were all reported by the imperial tombs that had never been watered, and the officials sent to check the results did not find that the water leaked from the gold well was found in the Tailing Spring, which had been leaked from the water.

Xie Qian is the easiest of the three cabinet ministers. Although this matter was dominated by the cabinet, it had little to do with him. Xie Qian could get out of the matter. Regardless of whether Yang Ziqi was imprisoned or not, he felt that the matter had nothing to do with him. At this time, he was still immersed in the excitement of his son Tanhua and did not want to bother with irrelevant things.

As a result, on the day Yang Ziqi was captured and returned to Beijing, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia came to the door together, hoping that Xie Qian would help Yang Ziqi plead for mercy. After all, everyone in the court knew that Yang Ziqi went to the imperial tomb, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to go.

"...Yu Qiao cannot be saved by death. His famous father (Yang Ziqi) has been working hard in the Ministry of Personnel in recent years. He had planned to resign before. How could he make a fuss about such things? If Yu Qiao doesn't believe it, he can send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter..."

Although Ma Wensheng was old and stupid in the court, he was very protective of his subordinates. After all, Yang Ziqi was from the Ministry of Personnel, so he couldn't speak, so he came to Xie Qian, hoping that Xie Qian could help.

Xie Qian's face was full of embarrassment: "I said to Mr. Ma, since you think Yang Mingfu was wronged, why don't you go to ask Your Majesty for mercy in person? I just wanted to save myself a few days, and you were going to let me go to Your Majesty to get into trouble? Your Majesty is in anger at this time..."

Ma Wensheng sighed, "Yu Qiao, no one in the court knows this. Your Majesty has a different relationship with you. Your Majesty has been in power for less than half a year. You have seen a handful of ministers in the court, but you have been summoned by Your Majesty several times alone, which shows how much Your Majesty values ​​you."

"My Father is a bit radical in his work, but he is upright and upright. Now he is in the imperial prison, he is afraid he will be out of life... It's just a casual word. Don't you want to shirk it, right?"

Xie Qian wanted to break up with Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty has always been dissatisfied with the cabinet's interference in politics. If I say such words, Your Majesty will definitely hold a grudge against me, and Your Majesty will not listen at all. If I say it will only add fuel to the fire, why can't you understand my difficulties?"

But at this moment, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia were looking at themselves with expectant eyes. Xie Qian felt it was difficult to refuse, so he said, "Since you are here in person, I will not refuse. Let me talk to Your Majesty, but if you cannot rescue people, the matter has nothing to do with me!"

Ma Wensheng nodded: "Then Yu Qiao will try it first. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, we will receive your affection..."

...

...

Xie Qian felt like he was unable to get rid of the tiger. After seeing off Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, he was still hesitant and didn't know how to talk to Zhu Houzhao after entering the palace.

Xie Pi came over to pay his respects to Xie Qian. Seeing Xie Qian hesitant, he couldn't help asking: "My father, I wonder what you have to worry about?"

Xie Qian looked at his son and said coldly: "What is the matter of father has nothing to do with you, go..."

He originally wanted to say that he would let his son go to school, but he immediately thought that his son had won the Tanhua now and that Dingjia could be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Now that his son is already a Hanlin Academy, his wish to inherit his mantle was half fulfilled, and he immediately restrained his unreasonable and arrogant style of the past and his tone became soft: "How much do you know about the things in the court?"

Mrs. Xu happened to come in with Xie Pi. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, it seems that the time for me to come in. Are you going to tell Pier important matters? Pier, then I have retired for my mother... The master has been an official for many years, so he must cultivate Pier well. After all, he has just entered the court and doesn't understand many things..."

Mrs. Xu said she would not interfere with Xie Qian's conversation with her son, but she said that she could discuss with Xie Pi if there was anything she could do. After all, the father and son could trust each other when they were officials in court. After all, others were alone.

Xie Qian said: "What your aunt said makes some sense, so I will talk to you..."

In the Xie family, Xie Pi is no longer Xie Qian's son in name, and was adopted by Xie Qian to his brother. Even Mrs. Xu became Xie Pi's "auntie". Xie Qian remembered that he had something in the past liked to ask Shen Xi. Now he wanted to try his son's weight, so he told Xie Pi about Yang Ziqi.

Xie Pi said: "No wonder Hanyuan is talking about it all the time. It turns out that something is true... I wonder why Your Majesty did this to Master Yang? After all, Master Yang has been in the court for many years and is honest in the officialdom. He is definitely not a person who makes rumors and causes trouble out of nothing!"

This answer obviously did not satisfy Xie Qian. He said with a cold face: "Only he knows whether Yang Mingfu made things out of nothing, but no matter what, now His Majesty is irritating to him... Let me say, if you go to meet the saint, how would you talk about this?"

Xie Pi fell silent for a moment and didn't know how to answer his father's question.

He had just entered the court as an official. Even if he had good knowledge, he could even have had extremely high attainments in his current literature and was competent in the work of the Hanlin Academy, but this does not mean that he could be at ease in handling court affairs.

At this time, Xie Pi fell into the misunderstanding of young people, that is, he must rescue the loyal and righteous people in the court. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Then I would like to ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate the case in detail and give Master Yang a fairness!"

Xie Qian shouted angrily: "Justice? Do you know what justice is? Where is justice in the court?"

"You said you would send someone to investigate. If several imperial tomb supervisors did nothing, they would dare to write a letter to refute Yang Mingfu and say that Yang Mingfu spread rumors?"

"Do you know why Shaofu Liu and Grand Secretary Li didn't come out to speak for Yang Mingfu? Because the court has sent someone to check it. Although there is water in the Jinjing of Xuan Palace in Tailing, it is stagnant water and no springs are surging."

"Although you and I know that the wellhead that came out of the water must have been blocked, isn't there any evidence in this way? Your Majesty has long had an opinion on the abuse of power in the cabinet. It is expected that Yang Mingfu was sent by Liu Shaofu and Binzhi to investigate the postponement of the construction period of the imperial tomb... Your Majesty did this, in fact, to shock the tiger and make the cabinet less self-righteous."

"If I go to talk to Your Majesty at this time, will Your Majesty give me a good look?"

Xie Pi was stunned when he heard this. Faced with Xie Qian's series of questions, he didn't know how to answer. After a while, Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Then... isn't my father going to plead for Master Yang? But... my father had promised the two ministers before..."

"It's one thing to agree, but it's another thing to do it... Why don't they talk to the saints themselves? After all, they also know that such things will cause trouble for His Majesty. Because my father has been in the court for so many years, he has been able to sit in his seat today because of his silence."

"Father never wanted you to be a clever person, but you must remember that if you don't have a sharp mouth, it's best not to get involved in the right and wrong of the court! Even if someone takes the initiative to take the lead in the matter, you can only follow the crowd. When encountering something difficult to decide, you must first ask for your father's opinions. The result of making a decision is to be put aside and be depressed and unsuccessful!"

After Xie Qian finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Xie Pi to go back and rest.

After Xie Pi left, Xie Qian sighed slightly and shook his head and said, "My son is still not allowed to go to the table. I don't know when he will be half of the ability of Chenxi's child, or even half of it. If he has one or two percent, I will die without regrets..."

...

...

Xie Qian believed in his words, so he finally went to meet Zhu Houzhao and talked to the little emperor about Yang Ziqi.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xie Qian with annoyed look on his face.

"... Master Xie Ge, I always feel that you are different from Young Master Liu and Grand Secretary Li. You know more than them and do things more smoothly. My father used to comment on you like this, and he said: You are the only one who can really help me in the court!"

Zhu Houzhao learned to speak lies when he saw people, and Xie Qian understood that Zhu Youzhang could not say such words at all, but he still pretended to be in a trepidated look and saluted respectfully: "The old emperor is so proud of his love, and the old minister is really ashamed..."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Since Master Xie understands the importance of your father to you, he should do his best for me. Now that I have just ascended the throne, and have not even changed my reign yet, I cannot make decisions on big and small things in the court..."

Another hint...

Xie Qian knew it in his heart, but at this time he had to pretend to be confused.

"Your Majesty, the old minister understands his difficulties after he ascended the throne, but I'm afraid your master has heard of his situation in the cabinet, right?" Xie Qian asked back.

Zhu Houzhao seemed very moved: "Who ever thought that you, my king and minister have fallen to this point today? Xie Ge, who is old, pleads with Yang Ziqi, must be unable to resist human favors!"

"Actually, in my opinion, such people deserve the most. They always like to make things out of nothing... You said that the Tailing Xuan Palace is almost completed, and it took more than four months to build the money and paste. He said that he asked me to change the location, and even said that if I don't change it, I am not a filial son!"

"Don't you, he can choose a grave for his father, so he can naturally change it at will. Is it so easy to change the construction of the imperial tomb? Isn't it that I want to make things difficult for this person, but this person is really hateful. Master Xie, tell me, how should I punish him?"

Xie Qian thought for a while and hesitated: "Your Majesty should punish the big ones more than just a small punishment, or... investigate the matter thoroughly so that everyone can enjoy peace with the world!"
