Vol 2 Chapter 153: Opening (2)


   On the fifth day that the corpse of the North King of Zhen was transported back to the capital, the sky was completely dark at Yin Shi.
   Outside the Meridian Gate, in a stone lamp, the candles flickered with orange fire, which complemented the two rows of torches held by the Forbidden Army.
   The officials gathered at the Meridian Gate in the cool breeze, silently waiting for the morning. Occasionally, officials who are acquainted with each other lowered their heads to talk, whispered, and generally kept quiet.
   The officials seemed to be holding a breath, swelling, but restrained, waiting for the opportunity to explode.
   "咚咚咚......"
   When the sky was faintly bright, the drums rang on the tower of the Meridian Gate.
   The civil and military officials lined up tacitly, and entered the palace gates that slowly opened.
  ..........
   Jinluan Temple!
   Officials of Rank 4 and above stepped into the hall and waited silently for a quarter of an hour. Emperor Yuan Jing, wearing a Taoist robe, arrived late.
  I haven't seen him for many days. The emperor who had turned Huafa turned into Uzbekistan became a bit haggard, with swollen eye bags and bloodshot eyes. Fully show the image of a brother who has lost his brother.
   The civil servants were taken aback. You must know that your majesty pays the most attention to health preservation and maintenance of the dragon's body. Since practicing Taoism, he has been healthy and ruddy.
  Have you ever looked so haggard?
   Many people looked at each other silently, and their hearts were stunned.
   The old glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing and said loudly: "If something is going on, let's go back to the court."
  Chu state chief ambassador, Zheng Xinghuai strode out, before he went to the public, he said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, Chuzhou Chief Soldier Huai, colluded with the Sorcerer Sect and the head of the Daoist sect, promoted to the second rank, and slaughtered the 380,000 people of Yunzhou City. Since the founding of Dafeng, this atrocities has been unique. Heaven and man are angry. Please your Majesty demote King Huai to a commoner, and hang his head on the city for three days to pay homage to the 380,000 unjust souls.........speak to the world."
   Emperor Yuan Jing looked at him deeply, expressionless.
   Surprisingly, in the face of the emperor who was filled with anger in the silence, Zheng Xinghuai, the chief ambassador of Chuzhou, looked at each other without fear.
   At this time, Wang Shoufu went out and said respectfully:
"Duke Huai’s move is angered by the sky and people are complaining, and the capital has long been rioted. The Chuzhou people are sturdy. If you can’t explain to the people of the world, if you are afraid of life and people, please your Majesty demote King Huai to a common citizen. 380,000 unjust souls in the state city."
   Above the court, the princes bend their waists, and the voices are rolling: "Your Majesty, please demote King Huai to a commoner, and hang his head on the city for three days to pay homage to the 380,000 souls of Chuzhou City."
   Emperor Yuan Jing slowly got up, with a cold face, looking down at the princes of the court.
   The muscles in his face twitched slowly, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged out. Suddenly...he suddenly overturned the big case in front of him.
  哐当......
   The big case rolled down the steps, and hit the public.
   Immediately afterwards, the old emperor’s heart-piercing roar sounded in the hall:
"Duke Huai is my brother. Why do you want to degrade him as a commoner? Do you want me to punish yourself? Do you still have me in your eyes? The loss of my brother is like a broken arm. , I don’t know how to be compassionate, and I have been gathering at the gate of the palace for several days, do you want to force me to death?!!!"
   The old emperor has a hideous face and red eyes, like a very sad and helpless old beast.
   This...The princes were stunned.
   Emperor Yuan Jing reigned for thirty-seven years, and his image of profound scheming and superb power was deeply ingrained in the hearts of civil and military officials.
   They never thought that one day, this deep emperor would have such a sad time.
   And this posture appeared in front of the officials, and the contrast with the inherent impression made people feel sad.
   The high arrogance of the officials was stagnant.
   Before the princes could react from the great consternation, Emperor Yuan Jing sat down with an undisguised sadness on his face:
  "When I was a prince, the first emperor was jealous and guarded against me. I was unstable and trembling all day long. It was King Huai who had been silently supporting me. It was only because we were the same compatriots and we had deep brotherhood.
  "The King Huai used the Zhen Guo Sword to kill enemies for the empire and defend the territory. If he hadn't feared death in the battle of Shanhaiguan, how could he be so prosperous today? You and others should bear his love.
"After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Duke Huai was ordered to go north and guard the border for me. For more than ten years, he has returned to Beijing only a few times. Duke Huai did make a big mistake, but after all he has already fallen the law. "
   was interrupted by Emperor Yuan Jing so "rudely", the officials could not find the rhythm for a while, and no one spoke for a long while.
   But it’s okay. There will always be someone in the hall who is willing to be a and charge.
Envoy Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty, merits and demerits are not equal. It is a fact that King Huai has made merits over the years, but the court has already commented on merits and rewarded him, and the people have loved him. Now he has committed a heinous crime, so naturally he should Severe punishment. Otherwise, your majesty will swindle the law for personal gain."
  Emperor Yuan Jing shouted violently: "Asshole thing, you have been jumping up and down in Beijing these few days, slandering the royal family, slandering the prince, I miss you all these years of diligence, no credit and hard work, and have tolerated you until now.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}   "The case of King Huai has not been settled yet. As long as he is not settled for a day, he will be innocent. You defamation of the prince is a capital crime!"
   "Your Majesty!"
   Wang Zhenwen suddenly said, interrupting Emperor Yuan Jing's rhythm, and said loudly, "The Zheng Buzheng envoy, let's talk about it later, let's discuss the affairs of King Huai first."
  Emperor Yuan Jing gave him a deep look, his eyes passed Wang Zhenwen, and paused somewhere.
   As if responding to Emperor Yuan Jing, one person immediately appeared and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister also has something to tell."
   All the officials followed the prestige, but the Ministry of Etiquette gave Yao Lin a favor.
   As everyone knows, giving is a professional sprayer, a mad dog in the court, who catches and bites whom. At the same time, they are also the initiators of the court struggle.
   As expected, this time it did not disappoint.
   Yao Lin Zuo Yi, bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "The minister wants to impeach the first assistant Wang Zhenwen, and instruct the former Ministry of Rites to collude with the demon clan and blow up Sangbo."
   There was a slight commotion in the hall.
   The princes looked at each other with weird expressions. In the past few days, Wang Zhenwen led a group of officials to besiege the gate of the palace. He became famous and called the vanguard of the "killing emperor."
   He was impeached at this time, it seems.........it is a matter of course.
   However, as far as the matter is concerned, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is indeed a member of the royal party. Whether he was instigated by Wang Shoufu or not is really hard to say.
  The inside story of Sangbo's case is actually that the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites colluded with the demon clan and blew up Sangbo. The bargaining chip given by the Yaozu was the corpse of Princess Henghui and Pingyang.
   exposes Liang Dang’s crimes through this hard-fought couple.
   is essentially a partisan struggle, with the Yaozu acting as a foreign aid.
   Does Wang Shoufu really know nothing about this? Regarding this, it is only they know whether they are playing a question mark or a full stop.
   Then, Yao Lin announced several major crimes of Wang Zhenwen, such as condoning corruption and accepting bribes from his subordinates, such as accepting bribes from his subordinates...
   The Sangbo case is not mentioned. The several crimes listed below are indeed firm.
   The person with two sleeves and breeze is the first assistant?
  Who wants to follow you.
   Your Majesty intends to kill chickens and monkeys... All the princes are shocked. Although Confucianism has dragon slaying skills, there is still an insurmountable gap between the monarch and his subjects.
  Emperor Yuanjing is not a young emperor, on the contrary, he overlooks the court half a piece.
   Wang Shoufu raised his head and saw Emperor Yuan Jing looking at him coldly, and immediately stopped hesitating, and said in a deep voice: "Chen, beggar bones"
  Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes flashed sharply, and he was about to speak. At this moment, Yu Shi Zhang Xingying went out and said:
   "Your Majesty, Wang Shoufu embezzled and accepted bribes, causing harm to the country and the people. You must not keep him."
   Zhang Yushi is from Wei Yuan.
  Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a long time, Yu Guang glanced at Wei Yuan, who was like an old monk, and said indifferently: "Wang Shoufu is serious, Master Shoufu has worked hard for the empire. I trust you."
  The balance created by Emperor Yuan Jing is now his own biggest shackle.
   Replaced by anyone, the dismissal was dismissed, but Wang Shoufu couldn't do it. He was the only person in the court who could check Wei Yuan.
   Without him, even if Emperor Yuan Jing supported other parties in the upper ranks, it would not be enough for Wei Yuan to fight with one hand.
   Within a quarter of an hour, the three giants of Emperor Yuanjing, Wei Yuan, and Wang Shoufu Chaotang had already completed a confrontation.
  Emperor Yuanjing made a small profit, suppressing the arrogance of the officials and shocking the princes. Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan were not at a loss either, because the topic was brought back to the case of King Huai’s Tucheng.
   "Please punish King Zhenbei severely, convict him, and give an explanation to the people of the world."
   Finally, Wei Yuan got out.
   The princes immediately agreed, but this time, Emperor Yuan Jing glanced around and found that a small group of people remained unchanged.
   The corners of his mouth ticked without leaving a trace. After all, in the courtroom, interests are the main priority, and self-interest is above all else. It’s a good deal to be able to scare so few of those who have just killed chickens and monkeys.
   "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the Chuzhou case should be discussed in the long term, and King Huai must not be blindly convicted."
   The first objection appeared.
  The speaker is Yuan Xiong, Yushi Zuodu.
  Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and asked, knowingly, "Why did Yuan Aiqing say this?"
   Yuan Xiong suddenly became excited, and said loudly: "The King Huai is your majesty's brother, and is the Prince of Dafeng. This matter is about the face of the royal family and the face of your majesty. How can it be easily concluded."
   Shameless!
   The civilian officials scolded.
  The last time this Li used the imperial examination fraud case, it alluded to Wei Yuan and offended the Dongge scholar and others. After the imperial examination, the Dongge scholar joined Wei Yuan to impeach Yuan Xiong.
   In the end, it was your Majesty who kept this 獠 and fined him for three months.
   Now, he has become the knife of his majesty, and he will fight back against the entire civil official group.
   "Your Majesty, Yuan Du Yushi is right..."
   At this time, an old man who was hanging down, tremblingly out of the queue with a cane.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}   The old man’s hair is silvery white, without black, wearing a scarlet base and embroidered golden five-claw golden dragon crown.
   Calendar King!
   The brother of Emperor Xian, the uncle of Emperor Yuan Jing and King Huai.
   "Uncle Emperor, why are you here? Didn't I say that you don't have to go to court?" Emperor Yuan Jing seemed taken aback, and ordered: "I will show you the seat quickly."
   "I won't come again to honor the 600-year-old reputation of the royal family for fear that it will be ruined in the hands of your unscrupulous descendants." The old man snorted coldly.
   Emperor Yuan Jing bowed his head and said nothing, a gesture of admitting his mistake.
  The chair moved in. The old man turned the chair and sat down facing the officials, and snorted again: "Dafeng is the great honor of the people of the world, and even the honor of my royal family.
  "The emperor Gaozu had a hard time starting a business. He swept away the corruption of the previous dynasty and established a new dynasty. Emperor Wuzong slayed the officials and cleared the monarch, how much blood and sweat he paid.
   "Duke Huai made a big mistake and died, but as long as this king is still a day, I am not allowed to taint my royal family's reputation."
   Zheng Xing's blood rushed to his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Old prince, the country has been established for six hundred years, and there are many kings who have sinned against themselves..."
   Before he finished speaking, he was strongly interrupted by the king of Li. The old man shouted: "The emperor is the emperor, and the minister is the minister. You are all from the Imperial College. Have you forgotten the teachings of Cheng Yasheng?"
   All the public felt scalp numb.
   If Emperor Yuan Jing said these things, the princes would be happy to death, and I will show you each one. Stepping on the emperor to become famous is the most exciting thing in the minds of scholars in the world.
   It is Li Wang who said these words. When Li Wang was young, he was talented and famous in the capital. In front of him, the princes can only be regarded as juniors.
  The identities of the prince and senior Rulin are at the forefront.
The arrogance of    radical faction was suppressed again.
   "Oh, Li Wang thinks twice."
   Wei Yuan's sigh sounded.
   Li Wang straightened his waist, with his old face full of gullies, and looked at Wei Yuan with slanted eyes:
   "Huh, this should have been a slave in the palace. If it weren't for your majesty's insight, give you a chance, do you have today's scenery?"
   Wei Yuan lowered his head, made a gesture of weakness, and then said:
  "If the king of Li was thinking about the reputation of the royal family, he shouldn't cover this matter for King Huai. Yesterday, the three great scholars of Yunlu Academy wanted to come to the capital to denounce your majesty, but I stopped them.
"The three great scholars said that the court can change the history books, but the history books of the Yunlu Academy are not in the hands of the court. Today, the Zhenbei King massacred the 380,000 people of Chuzhou City. In the coming days, the scholars of the Yunlu Academy will do this. Keep in mind. It is passed on to future generations. Your Majesty, shielding your brother, and committing the same sins with him, will be engraved in history books."
   Yuan Jingdi's face changed drastically.
   The radicals looked at each other.
   This is really something that the scholars of Yunlu Academy would do. Those scholars who follow the Confucian system are arrogant and defiant, but... so relieved!
   Li Wang said indifferently: "The children of later generations only recognize the official history, who cares what the unofficial history of a college says?"
   He said this to Emperor Yuan Jing~EbookFREE.me~ to tell this nephew who wants to cultivate Taoism and loves fame, don't be threatened by Wei Yuan.
   Wei Yuan said quietly: "The King of Li has no demerits in his life, and he is also knowledgeable. He is a model of the royal family and a model of scholars. Don't let this matter be recorded by Yunlu Academy. It is not guaranteed in the evening."
   Li Wang suddenly changed color, raised his finger, pointed at Wei Yuan tremblingly, and said sharply: "Wei Yuan, do you dare to threaten this king, do you want to rebel!"
   Wang Shoufu said lightly: "When did advice become a threat?"
   "You, you guys..."
   Li Wangqi's body trembles, his chest rises and falls.
   Li Wang studied since he was a child. Although he has the status of a prince, he has always regarded himself as a scholar. He cares more about the words "famous in history" than ordinary military commanders.
  The common problem of scholars.
  Wei Yuan's words really made Li Wang deeply jealous. The official history just now was just to comfort Emperor Yuan Jing. Reading talents know the authority of Yunlu Academy.
   Fighting in the court, you come and I go, see the trick.
   The Emperor Yuanjing saw that the King of Calendar no longer spoke, he knew that this move had been resolved by the "enemy", but it didn't matter, the next move was the key to his victory.
   Thinking of this, he glanced at Cao Guogong in the honorable team.
   Cao Guogong understood the spirit, stepped out, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word."
