Chapter 17 Please Return
"Our army does not get involved in local affairs, but if the banditry reaches such a serious level, the garrison should be dispatched by the government. ”
Qin Tangong's voice continued to sound in the hall, gentle and slow.
"Catch the bandits as soon as possible, so that the victims' families and the people can give an explanation. ”
The hall was silent, and it stands to reason that as long as Qin Tangong opened his mouth, Song Yuan would echo loudly, but today Song Yuan is not there.
Chen Sheng looked at Qin Tangong coldly and said, "These people killed by the bandits happen to be the people who were serving in Zhanggongling ten years ago that Mr. Qingxia found, they were supposed to enter Beijing to listen to the inquiry, Grandpa Qin, are these bandits too good at picking people?"
Qin Tangong's expression was still the same, and he said: "The first emperor is benevolent, after the death of the year, these people who served were not held accountable and not martyred, and they are still high-ranking officials. Looking at Chen Sheng, "I remember that the prime minister rewarded a lot of people afterwards, maybe the family house was too rich and attracted the attention of the bandits." ”
Qin Tangong rarely told jokes, so that his words at this time seemed like jokes, but they only made people feel a chill down their spines.
Chen Sheng was about to say something, but Wang Lieyang, who had been silent, spoke first.
"Grandpa Qin, please retreat from the dynasty for the time being. ”
There was a slight commotion in the hall, and although there was no Song Yuan, many officials came out to speak.
"Wang Xiangye, what do you mean by this?"
"Does this mean that Grandpa Qin is the murderer?"
"How can that be? ”
The hall was suddenly noisy, and someone stood up again: "Gao Liangli, Zhang Youheng, and others boldly blaspheme the court, and the palace is in an uproar!"
The sound is loud and heavy, deafening, only in the imperial history.
As Lu Yan stood up, the imperial historians in the court also came out to reprimand, and probably because of the tense atmosphere in the hall, the hundreds of Jin Wuwei on both sides clenched the copper hammer in their hands.
"First there is the suspicious case of Lin Yue's death, and then there is the notice of Liang Feng's hanging, the noise is still inconclusive, and the people involved in the case have been killed, what's wrong with Grandpa Qin avoiding suspicion and retreating from the dynasty?"
"In the event of impeachment, officials have the practice of not coming out, no longer going to court, and defending their innocence, all civil and military officials are like this, what is so special about the minister?"
Chen Sheng's voice sounded in the hall.
"Confucianism died, internal officials committed suicide, involved in the first emperor's case, you dare to make noise, how to be called a loyal minister and filial son, how to match heaven and earth, what is the use of the court to raise you!"
Wang Lieyang sighed and said, "Yes, if this case is not investigated, the world will be uneven, Grandpa Qin, please temporarily retire to the court and defend himself behind closed doors." ”
Of the five ministers, one resigned from his post and left the court, and three agreed with the impeachment of one and asked him to resign from the court, which was unprecedentedly harsh.
"The disciple of the sage, who is loyal and filial, does not dare not ask about the suspicious case of killing the king, and asks Qin Tan Gong Dumen to defend himself. ”
Officials stood up one after another, either solemn or excited or sad and indignant, and a voice in the hall called for Qintan Gongdumen to sound.
The little emperor sitting on the dragon chair stared at the round eyes, and the eunuch on the side shrank his head and was silent.
.....
.....
"You are bold, dare to stop the mourning family!"
In the harem, the Empress Dowager Qin, who was stopped in front of the palace gate, was embarrassed and angry.
There are thousands of guards in the imperial city, and the inner palace is subordinate to the Imperial City Division, at this time, an inner attendant has a smile on his face and behaves respectfully, but his attitude is unquestionable.
"Niangniang, the Son of Heaven and the Xiangmen are deliberating, please don't disturb Niangniang in the palace. He said, and the guards with weapons behind him stepped forward in unison.
Empress Dowager Qin didn't have much fear, and her face was like that of a girl, only anger: "Li Gouzi, when is it your turn to speak in this harem?"
The waiter's attitude was still respectful, his body was more bent, and he said: "Niangniang tortures the old slave, where is the turn of the old slave in this harem to speak, the old slave is just on the order of the Son of Heaven." ”
"The fate of the Son of Heaven is a fart! It is clear that Chen Sheng is immortal...."
Empress Dowager Qin's coquettish voice was angry and harsh.
The angry scolding can penetrate the guards, but people can't, so the inner servants didn't move anymore and just stood in front of the palace gate, letting the Empress Dowager Qin scold.
“... When Zong Zhou Liao Cheng is here, what are you Li Gouzi, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know whose food you eat. ”
“... Wang Lieyang Chen Sheng, you are high-sounding, bullying our orphans and widows..."
......
......
The scolding of the harem did not penetrate the main hall of the previous dynasty, even if it penetrated, the voice of the queen mother and the female stream could not compare to the courtiers in the palace, and the hall was mixed with various voices, in addition to letting the Duke of Qin Tan retreat to Du Men to defend himself, there were also many people who defended the Duke of Qin Tan.
The ministers in the hall quarreled and even began to push, but the four ministers in front of them who caused this chaos were silent, Wang Lieyang's face was calm, Chen Sheng's face was gloomy, Lu Yan's face was staring at the hall with a black face, Qin Tangong's expression was still the same, but this silence did not make people feel relaxed, and the inner servants standing beside the emperor were soaked with sweat on their backs.
This is obviously a long preparation, it doesn't matter if Qin Tangong is not in the palace, it is not easy for the guards to take him heavily, it will be easy to do it when he enters the palace, the Jin Wuwei in the palace has been controlled by these Wenchen, and if the chaos continues, will he kill Qin Tangong in the court.
It is indeed inconceivable that the minister of Gu Ming was culled, and it is difficult to do, but if there is a charge of killing the king, it is not impossible.....
Qin Tan Gong held the power of the army, but he could not mobilize soldiers and horses in this imperial city.....
Qin Tan Gong thought that he could shock everyone as in the past, but this time the three ministers were determined to take him down, the five-fold guards locked the imperial city, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities guarded the city gate.
Maybe those witnesses leaked and were killed, it was originally their plan to trap Qin Tangong......
But agreeing to retreat from the DPRK and closing the door means losing freedom and being seized power.....
Although there was an incident where Qin Tangong's family was impeached and forced to resign and return to his hometown, but in the end it was not to force Qin Tangong's official position, this time, Qin Tangong will endure it?
If you can't bear it..... What's going on today?
"Minister..."
Qin Tangong's voice sounded, breaking the silence in front of the hall.
The quarrel between the hundreds of officials also stopped instantly, and Jin Wuwei on both sides clenched their weapons and stood on guard.
"The minister is an auxiliary minister, and now he has been wronged, and he is ashamed of the court, and the minister has no face to stay in the court, please find out this matter and return the court's innocence. ”
The eunuch beside the emperor heard himself spat out.
No blood splattered on the spot.
The expressions of the officials in the hall are also complicated, with disappointment, regret, annoyance, and grievances.....
"Your Majesty, Grandpa Qin is in charge of the center, how can the imperial court be without him. Some old ministers came out of the ranks and knelt down and shouted.
Then many officials knelt on the ground and chanted.
Chen Sheng also turned to the emperor and bowed, and said, "It is precisely because Duke Qin is a minister who cares about his life that he should be more cautious and upright. ”
The hall also knelt on the ground and echoed.
Now that they had finished speaking, it was his turn to speak, and the little emperor sat up straight and said in high spirits: "Accurate." ”
Qin Tan thanked Lord Longen fairly, got up, and the hundreds of officials in the hall were divided, watching him walk out, his pace was steady, he passed through everyone without panic, stepped over the high threshold, crossed the guard holding a weapon outside the door, and walked out of the palace gate along the straight road.
It was not until this moment that everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
The news of Qin Tangong's retreat from the dynasty and his closure spread all over the capital.
"I was escorted home by the forbidden army..."
"Isn't that a condemnation?"
"Not a conviction, supposedly just an escort. ”
"What are the escorts, it's clearly going to be house arrest..."
"Grandpa Qin's soldiers and horses are all in the field, lest he be transferred..."
"This is over, as soon as the door of the house is closed, the city gate is closed, the forbidden army is besieging the city, without the orders of the ministers, how can the soldiers and horses be easily mobilized in the field?"
"When the soldiers and horses are transferred and the charges are confirmed, do you still want to rebel?"
The streets were full of talk, and the mood fluctuated as more and more soldiers and horses gathered in and out of the city.
......
......
"It's as simple as that?"
Xue Qing sat up from the rocking chair.
Mr. Si Brown tore the chicken on the table with both hands, and said vaguely in his mouth: "What is complicated in the court." ”
Xue Qing said: "This guy is so obedient, why don't you kill him on the spot?"
Mr. Si Brown spit out a chicken bone and said, "That's the court, in front of the Son of Heaven, not a vegetable field, killing chickens and sheep on the spot." ”
Xue Qing said: "It's not unheard of in history, what to pretend." She sighed again and lay back in the rocking chair, "Since they control the imperial city, don't take the opportunity to do it." ”
"Solving problems is not about killing people. Mr. Si Brown said vaguely, pointing at Xue Qing with his chicken paws, "You can remember this, don't be a tyrant." ”
Xue Qing opened his mouth and fell into vain.
Mr. Four Brown withdrew the chicken paw and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The sage said that if you can't solve a problem, you will solve it. Xue Qing said, "Especially when dealing with bad guys." ”
Mr. Four Brown said vaguely, your saint ignored it.
Xue Qing said: "Then, this is the end? As soon as the physical evidence is put forward, the crime will be certain, and I will be the emperor?"
Mr. Si Brown said: "What's the end, it's simple to say that the court is simple, the key is outside, serving the public, serving the world, and the border, and... Soldiers and horses besieged the city, and the secret guards assassinated..."Squinting at Xue Qing, "Boy, this is just the beginning, the world is the vegetable field, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, see who is the knife and see who is the fish and meat, bloody, dangerous..." ”
Xue Qing sighed and said, "Then sir, don't you go out and keep an eye on it, don't wait for someone to chop us up like fish." ”
Mr. Si Brown said angrily: "Can't I come back for a meal?
Xue Qing waved his hand and said: "Keep your life, you can eat anywhere, go quickly, when the student is in danger, you can just watch and not make a move, and it is not okay to find out if there is danger in advance?
There was a loud wind crackling with the bones and dishes, and Mr. Four Brown, who was standing at the table, had disappeared.
“.... I can see if I'm dead. Xue Qing finished the rest of the words, and shook his hand slowly on his knee.
......
......
Qin Tan Gong Du does not come out, it does not mean that others cannot enter.
"I'll just go out for a long time, why was my grandfather hurt by those three old things?"
In the hall of Qin Tangong, Song Yuan beat his chest.
The rest of the room frowned in displeasure.
"Lord Song, won't you be like this?"
"Is it a question of who's in and who's not?"
Several retorted.
Song Yuan rubbed his face and smiled at them, and said: "Yes, yes, I know, I know that this is all because they control the Imperial City Division's forbidden army, and the outer capital camp is also in Wang Lieyang's hands." "But don't be complacent, we are not short of men, and I have already sent out the order to transfer troops into Beijing." ”
Qin Tan said fairly: "People and horses are trivial, the key is to serve the public." Looking at the people, "Those witnesses..."
Those witnesses must be removed, and they cannot be kept.
Everyone nodded yes, this is the top priority.
"Of course, the most important human and physical evidence is not the ones presented by Lin Yue, and we don't know how much they still have in their hands now, which is the most critical and troublesome thing. ”
"I think...."
In the midst of the discussion, a raised voice suddenly sounded: "Dad." ”
The voice came from outside the door, and the silent approach startled everyone who was focused on the conversation, and a young man leaned in by the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked, "what are you talking about?"
Song Yuan sighed and said, "Little grandfather, don't you know what's wrong.....
Qin Mei stood up straight by the door, her pretty brows furrowed, and she interrupted him, "Is something really wrong? Is it troublesome?"
Qin Tangong looked at him and smiled: "It's okay, it's not troublesome, and it's not dangerous." ”
Song Yuan hurriedly said: "The little grandfather is really worried....."
Before he finished his words, the young man by the door frowned and said, "That's good, I'll go out." With that, he turned around and staggered out.
Walked away, walked away.....
“... Grandpa, look. Song Yuan swallowed the words that originally praised Qin Mei for worrying about her father's filial piety, and replaced it with another kind of admiration, "The little grandfather really has the style of a general, not arrogant or impatient." ”
The people in the room were accustomed to Song Yuan's praise, and rolled their eyes disdainfully and ignored it.
Qin Tangong looked at Qin Mei's back, nodded with a smile, and said, "He did a good job." ”
In fact, what did Qin Mei do? Everyone secretly said in their hearts, after entering Beijing, they swaggered through the city, burned people's houses, fought with Xue Qing, was criticized by the people, and befriended Xue Qing, so that Qin Tangong was charged with manipulating the test, and then eat, drink and have fun every day..... Sure enough, no matter how wise a person is, he will inevitably spoil his children, and the good luck of this Song and Yuan is that he can always get his ass right.
Fortunately, Qin Tangong was a little irrational in this matter, and everyone retracted the topic and said the moment.
"The thing at the moment is very simple, it is to solve the human thing. Qin Tan was fair, "As long as there are no such people, there will be no such problems, and the problem of crime does not exist, I am the same at home as in the court." ”
Yes, everyone nodded yes.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Song Yuan patted his chest even more and sneered, "None of these people can escape, how can a capital imprison our hands and feet." ”
......
......
The gates were closed at dusk, much earlier than before, and many people who were going in and out of the city were cut off, and the noise did not last long before it was dispersed.
In the twilight, groups of forbidden troops patrolled around the city, their eyes swept over the crowd on the road from time to time, and people subconsciously put away their complaints, or dispersed or found a roadside tea shed to rest for a while, thinking about what to do tonight.
A teahouse ten miles away from the city gate was doing better than ever, and it was full of people inside and out, talking and arguing, sometimes raising and sometimes lowering.
"A bowl of mutton soup. A man who was collecting firewood came over, put down the pyre on his shoulder, and shouted, "I'm afraid there will be chaos, the city gate is closed so early, and I can't even go home." ”
This complaint had been heard for a long time, and the woman behind the boiling sheep soup pot did not pay attention to it, and came over with a bowl of neatness.
"Yes. She seemed a little uneasy, and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be messy." ”
