Chapter 45: The Second Upper Court (Thank Yin Bai for the Monthly Pass)
"Why don't you send a letter to the colt. Si Jian thought for a moment.
"Do you think he doesn't know that these slaves were originally exiles who were taken captive by Ruo Ao Yuejiao......? Now that they have been trained as soldiers and sent to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that they will be stared at by the people on the horses all the time, and they will be in a different place if there is a change, these homeless people ...... "Mi Huang can imagine that Ruo Ao Ziyan must have sent someone to keep an eye on them all the time."
"This case is really difficult, and Si Jian has been thinking about it for several days, but he can't ...... That's all we can do, girl...... Accompany these people to wait with them every day. β
"But I don't want to wait any longer!"
Mi Huang's eyes fell on the azure oilcloth umbrella above her head, and a few purple bamboos painted on the umbrella covered her head, she couldn't help but think of that rainy day last year, and said lightly, "Let's go, let's go back to the palace!"
"Yes. β
After receiving the oilcloth umbrella, Mi Huang boarded the car, and then took out the pen, ink and silk cloth from the dark grid of the palace car, and followed the carriage swinging, and the jade pen fell quickly in her hand.
"When the sons and daughters hear that they seek the elders of the wood, they will consolidate their roots, those who want to flow far away will dredge their springs, and those who think of the peace of the country will accumulate their virtues and righteousness. The source is not deep and the flow is far away, the roots are not solid and seek the length of the wood, the virtue is not thick and the peace of the country, the children are foolish, they know that they can't, and the situation is clear?
The father is the lord of the barbarians, the head of the people, inheriting the destiny of the heavens, and Ze is the world, how can he not be prepared for danger in times of peace?
The ministers whispered that the country was poor and not enough, but the people's hearts were weak, and the trouble was great.
Xia Wei made Yaotai, struck the people's strength, lost the people's wealth, for the wine pond dregs embankment, indulged in the pleasure, a drum and cattle drank 3,000 people, and suddenly caused chaos and death, the people's hearts went also, Yin Shang replaced it; Shang built a palace, built a wine pool, spoiled Da Ji, imprisoned the sage, tortured, harmed the loyal and good, and finally became the Zhou Dynasty; my Chu people were originally Huaiyi, when the Zhou Dynasty was first established, there was no place, only 30 miles of Chuzi, three hundred years, slash and burn, open up the territory, all the clans helped each other, all the people are concentric, although the years are decided, the people's hearts are not dead, every battle will be won, the martial king will eventually become the cause of the king, the merit of the Xia, Shang and Zhou, and the north and south of the Chengzhou division of Kyushu so farγ
However, at this age, I have been blessed by the heavens, the river has receded, but the hearts of the people have perished.
There is a Zheng State giant in my Chu land, slightly sell the Chu people, for the troubles of the counties, sometimes for five years, the people of the Chu State, go to its tens of thousands, how can it be recovered in a few years, if it is not cured, the population is empty, and the day is better than one day.
The Zhu Palace is flawless, the universe is clear, the ancestor Wu Wang Wen Wang loves the people like a wound, and the people's hearts are consolidated and insoluble. The sincerity of his father's love for the people is no less than that of his ancestors. The sons and daughters specially asked the virtue of their father to be sent to the people, so that the people's sufferings could be complained to. β
Zhu Palace, on the top of the Golden Palace, the woman held the white silk in her hand, word by word, read aloud, and finally bowed to the ground three times, knocking and pleading, "The country is people-oriented, and the hardships of the people are not up to the top, and they are all the fault of the ministers." Today, when the ministers heard the suffering of the people who lost their relatives, Zheng Guoshang Jia Lian had been captive for several years, and he was terrified day and night, only to beg his father, and play the quasi-prison department to find the people and revitalize the people's hearts!
Ask the Father, the Holy Grace!"
"What?"
"A Zheng businessman has kidnapped tens of thousands of Chu people in my Chu State!" The king of Chu heard this sentence in a dazed state, the most critical.
"Yes, my lord, the princess said that there was a Zheng Guoshang Jia who kidnapped tens of thousands of our people. β
Zhao Changshou repeated in the ear of the sleepy King of Chu, and after listening to it with his eyes closed, the King of Chu could no longer sleep.
The old and dizzy wasp eyes suddenly opened, and he rushed down the ninth-level jade steps to personally ask who had kidnapped his subjects, "How can this be true, how can this be reasonable!" My Chu State has worked hard to send troops to rescue him Zheng Guo, but he, Zheng Guo, a businessman, dares to rob the people of the widow in the land of Jing and Chu in my great Chu, which is hateful and angry! Behind this must be the instruction of Zheng Gong's thief-eyed old boy. β
"Zi Bang, the widow ordered you to send a message to Ziyan from now on, and after defeating the Jin Kingdom, turn around and give the widow to immediately raze his Zheng State, see if he Zheng people dare to touch one of the widow's people!" King Chu stomped his feet angrily, and the dignified Zheng Zi was like a speck of dust on the soles of his feet, which he easily tossed around.
Ling Yin Ziban seemed to have realized it after seeing Mi Huang come out of the ranks, but he just glanced at the woman on the ground, and slowly responded, "Yes, king!"
As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
The ministers' eyes wandered, and they didn't know what Lord Ling Yin meant.
In the entire Golden Palace, only the repeated scolding of the King of Chu remained, as well as the pleading voice of Mi Huang alone, "The son begs his father to send someone to recover the captive people as soon as possible!"
Cheng Daxin, who was located in the left column behind Ling Yin, walked out slowly, and swept to the end, and also presented a scroll of notes in his hands, Zhao Chang ordered someone to take it, and only listened to him say, "The king, what the princess played is exactly what Daxin wants to play today, but the urgency of delay is not to rush to calm Zheng, but to find the missing Chu people, and the loss of Zheng Guo just gave me the opportunity of Chu State, so that they bow down to their vassals." King, this is also a godsend for my Chu country!"
After Cheng Daxin came out of the ranks, Zhao Hou also strode out and said angrily to the king of Chu, "King, this Zheng State merchant Jia must be severely punished, my Chu State has been fighting for many years, and the people who have been gained after each war are only tens of thousands, and this Jia is extremely evil, but tens of thousands of displaced people will be obtained in five years, and the king must send someone to make them open their mouths to find the whereabouts of the displaced people." β
"How can you not find it? It's not ten, not a hundred, not a thousand, but tens of thousands!" When the king ......of Chu heard what Zhao Hou said, he simply talked about his heart, thinking that he had worked hard to fight the country, and for more than ten years, when the last little merchant had taken most of his life, how could he not be angry and his heart hurt.
He sat down on his throne with a butt, stroking his chest, and screaming heartache.
Zhao Changzhi stood beside him, kept helping him rub his heart, and all the ministers comforted him, "Take care of the king!"
"How do you tell me to take care, widowed people...... And so I took ...... captive."
Seeing this, Li Lao pulled his lips, stroked his gray beard and stepped forward to comfort, "Don't worry, this Zheng Guo businessman, if Ao Si and Chen Tingli have already imprisoned him in the prison of the Criminal Prison Division, I believe that these tens of thousands of people will be able to recover." β
"Really?"
The king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and give me a trial of the case, so that they can tell their whereabouts, if they are taken back to Zheng Guo, I will settle accounts with Zheng Zi's old boy." β
"Yes, my lord, we obey the order. β
If Ao Zike and Chen Huang heard this, they both stepped forward from the back row to receive the order.
It's just that Ruo Zike didn't have the excitement on Chen Huang's face, but he smiled dispensably, and said to Chen Huang, "Chen Huang, now you have something to do!"
"Yes, Lord Si Defeat, the next official will not disgrace his mission!"
"Come on!"
Cheng Daxin also walked out slowly with a pale face, "Huang, hurry up and go to the yamen!"
"Yes, big brother, it's just that the eldest brother is not in good health, why don't you go back first!" Chen Huang looked at Cheng Daxin, who was sick and went to court, with a weak face and said worriedly.
"Well, I'm fine, if you should be busy, go and do you!"
Cheng Daxin waved and smiled, and ordered him to go quickly.
Chen Huang nodded heavily and left.
"Thank you Cheng Zuo Yin for speaking out today. Mi Huang walked out of the hall and thanked Cheng Daxin deeply.
"Weichen played, the princess has been presented to the king. Cheng Daxin was ashamed and said, "Daxin is just a gesture." β
"It's easy to add flowers to the splendor, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. β
Mi Huang said lightly.
In the face of the silence of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, only Cheng Daxin was the first to dare to stand up, not to mention that he was still sick.
β¦β¦
After returning to the Li Mansion, the Li family had been waiting for the Li Mansion, and when they saw Li Lao coming back with a happy face, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father, how is it in the court today?"
"This case has been approved, you tell Daxin and Chen Huang to let it go!"
"Thank you dad for your help!"
"Haha...... Go back quickly, I'm afraid I'm alone at home. β
"Yes, father, the daughter has said goodbye first, and she should take care of her life on weekdays, and another day, the daughter will go back to the house to visit. β
"Go ahead!"
After the Li family left, Li Lao's eldest son said with a puzzled face, "Father, didn't you say that this case can't help the little sister?" And the Cheng family is weak now, and Chen Huang has picked such a big case, I'm afraid that he has already touched the bottom line of Lord Ling Yin, although my father helped in the hall today, I'm afraid they will be even more embarrassed by then." When the words fell, the faces of several sisters-in-law showed a hint of worry.
"How could a father give birth to such a few stupid talents as you, you didn't see that even the son acquiesced, and the father was just a favor. And do you really think that this big battle is all about Ruoao Liubu charging in front? You see that it is raining now, if Chengjia's autumn harvest cannot be guaranteed on time, and the military rations cannot be delivered on time, I am afraid that there will be variables in the end of this Northern Expedition. β
Li Lao licked his belly and pointed to the light rain that was falling outside the door, and said slowly, "If the Cheng clan deliberately delays a few days on this ground, if Ao Tuo is afraid that this battle will be tight, so Lord Yin did not continue to pressurize, and today's princess aims to find the common people, not Ruo Ao's family, then what is there to worry about this case?"
"The Cheng clan still has the ability to control the elbow Ruo Ao clan. β
Several sisters-in-law bowed their heads when they heard this.
"Naturally, you think that you can only see the current layer when you are the vision of a few of your brothers, if Chen Huang and your brother-in-law understand that their Cheng clan is choking the lifeblood of Ruo Ao's Northern Expedition, and if they use it properly, they will definitely be able to make Lord Ling Yin give another step, but it's a pity...... Now that Cheng Jia is not in Beijing, he is in charge of his big heart, and with his years of political experience, I am afraid that he can't see this layer yet. β
"Then when the little sister left just now, why didn't her father remind her and tell her to rest assured? I'm afraid that this case is still not easy. The eldest son frowned and said.
"Don't you still understand? Our Li clan is not as good as Ruo Ao's, nor as good as Cheng's, Pan's, and Zhou's after the fall of today, and only now is my father's helm of my Li clan's ship, so that my Li's big ship can not deviate. If one day I am gone, I don't know which of you can do what Confucius is capable of, alas...... Otherwise, my Li family would not be like this, I can only look forward to others for the sake of others!"
"It's all the sons who are incompetent. β
Several sisters-in-law were ashamed when they heard this.
