Chapter 097: Clever Arguments in the Court

Zhang Wuxian also saw the different eyes of these civil and military officials on him, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but ignored the existence of these people, Liu Xuan seemed to have discovered this problem, and hurriedly came out to alleviate the scene and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to start, if there is nothing to do, then I will issue an edict." ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, stunned that there is nothing to do, Liu Xuan looked at the eunuch beside him after seeing this, the eunuch saw Liu Xuan glanced at himself, and immediately understood, and hurriedly walked to the front of the civil and military officials, slowly opened a holy decree, and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." ”

After these eight words were spoken, all the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Zhang Wuxian was naturally no exception. The eunuch paused and said, "General Zhengxi has worked hard for my Great Liang and has made countless meritorious contributions. I am very relieved, and the general recovered the two cities of Jinling and Fan Ling three days ago, and I think that his merits are not inferior to those of Xiang Yu, Wu Han, and Jin Tejia as loyal and righteous candidates, and now I am here!

After everyone heard this edict, they all chewed their tongues in private, Liu Xuan slapped the table with disdain, and pretended to be angry: "After the holy decree was read, you Aiqing knelt down and refused to be flat, but is there anything to disagree with my decision?"

As soon as Liu Xuan's words came out, Lou Qiong, the secretary of the second-grade military department, ignored the obstruction of the people behind him, stood up directly and came to the middle, arched his fist at Liu Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is in charge of the military department, but all the generals of my Liang, what are their merits and demerits, the military department will register them one by one, and never miss them." Dissatisfied with the emperor, the reputation of the general of the expedition to the west is not very good recently, and it is rumored that the general has the intention of rebellion, and the merit of this person is not enough to be crowned the king and worship the marquis. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't expect how the news of the deliberate rebellion of the general Zhengxi reached the ears of the people and these civil and military officials. For a while, there was no word to respond to the military department.

However, Zhang Wuxian at the bottom of the steps saw through the essence of this matter, they were now a little caught off guard by their sudden good move, and all they could do was to walk the rumors and make it impossible for them to proceed smoothly.

Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Wuxian, Zhang Wuxuan understood that Liu Xuan was asking for help from himself, when he stood up, came to Lou Qiong's side, arched his fist at Liu Xuan, and said, "Courtier, you have your own opinions on this matter, I don't know if you can talk about it?"

Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Naturally, if the Great Qi envoy has his own unique opinions, he can directly say it." ”

Before Zhang Wuxian could speak, Lou Qiong took the lead and arched his fist at Liu Xuan again and said: "Your Majesty, the envoys of other countries have always been involved in our country's political affairs, and it is already against the training of the organization for you to let him go to the court, and now you let him participate in political discussions, I am afraid that if it spreads, the emperor's coercion will be pressurized." ”

After Liu Xuan heard this, he slapped the table suddenly, and said with angry eyes: "Bold Lou Qiong, I want you to agree, not to discuss with you!"

Although Liu Xuan was already angry, this didn't seem to make the civil and military officials below much afraid, but they all lowered their heads, and at this time, the secretary also came to Lou Qiong's side and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Zhang Wuxian glanced at this guy with disdain, and said coldly: "This lord, you still know the rules of first come, first come, first come, please wait for me to discuss with Lord Lou Qionglou, if you have anything inconsequential, it's not too late to talk about it." ”

Seeing this, the official Shangshu also wanted to be angry, Liu Xuan saw it and said angrily: "It's all a few meanings, is it possible that I am transparent, let the envoys of Daqi speak now, and the rest of the people will shut up." ”

Zhang Wuxian couldn't help sighing, thinking that this Liu Xuan's personality is too soft, and his means of controlling the crowd are very few, if Liu Xuan is allowed to be the king of Daliang again, even if Liu Tong's matter is settled, I don't know how many similar things will happen in the future, and in the long run, Daliang will be self-defeating.

Zhang Wuxian said: "Lord Lou, the courtier has something unclear, I don't know how you know that the general Zhengxi intends to rebel? Could it be that you don't know that framing important ministers of the imperial court is a capital crime?"

Lou Qiong originally thought that this Zhang Wuxian was a young man, and he didn't take this guy to heart at all, he thought that the reason why Liu Xuan treated Zhang Wushu as a guest was because he was afraid that Daqi would attack him. disdainfully responded: "What the official said is naturally well-founded, otherwise how could the official bring this matter to the emperor and say it?"

Zhang Wuxian nodded and said: "The name of the general of Zhengxi, my people of Daqi have long been a household name, and the name of the general's loyalty has resounded all over the world, why do you say that he is not qualified to be a marquis and worship the prime minister?"

Lou Qiong smiled disdainfully and said, "That's just a hat given to the general by the people, is it possible that my Liang Fenghou worships the prime minister and relies on the rumors of the people to study it?"

Zhang Wusheng thought that this Lou Qiong was really not to be underestimated, just when Zhang Wuxian was thinking deeply, almost all the big and small officials in the column of the military department came out, and at the same time bent down and said: "Weichen is brave, I implore the emperor to take back his fate!"

The corners of Lou Qiong's mouth showed a hint of pride, as if she was saying to Zhang Wuxian that you are a hairy boy, and you are also worthy of fighting with Lao Tzu? Look at the scene in front of you!

Zhang Wuxian has never suffered such a disdainful look since he came to this world, although he smiled on the surface, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for a long time. When he said: "Lord Lou's words are wrong, isn't the reason why you don't agree to him to be crowned king and worship the prime minister is also because there are rumors among the people? If you say that the folk rumors cannot be believed, then what you say is really contradictory. ”

After Liu Xuan heard this, he hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said: "Lou Qiong, is what Lord Zhang said true, if this is the case, I should punish you for the crime of dereliction of duty! Above the court, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is it a place for you to be presumptuous?"

Lou Qiong was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "Wechen has never neglected his duties, and everything Wechen said is true, and it is all verified by physical evidence, not a lie." ”

Liu Xuan said disdainfully: "In this case, then you should quickly take out the evidence in your mouth." ”

"This..."Lou Qiong fell into contemplation again, the wrinkles on her face were almost wrinkled, and the embarrassed expression on her face was shown from the inside out.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuxian snorted and sneered, and said, "It seems that Lord Lou is not only derelict in his duties, but also suspected of bullying the monarch and framing loyal ministers. As early as when Lou Qiong came out to question the general of Zhengxi, Zhang Wuxian knew that this guy was probably Liu Tong's wings, and once the evidence in his mouth came out, he would be nothing more than implicating himself and Liu Tong.

After Liu Xuan heard this, he understood what Zhang Wuxian meant, and hurriedly echoed: "According to the law of the Great Liang, Lou Qiong deceived the monarch and framed loyal ministers. All of its nine clans were reduced to lowly slaves......"

Before Liu Xuan could say the last sentence, Lou Qiong kowtowed violently and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, Weichen is loyal to the emperor, he really has no intention of bullying the king, it is really Weichen who has a hard time not to speak, beg the emperor to spare his life!"

Zhang Wuxian deliberately sighed loudly and said, "I don't know what kind of hardship Lord Lou has, it can't be compared to the life of an adult, which is more important, the adult really thinks about it." ”

Lou Qiong looked at Zhang Wuxian with an embarrassed face, and then looked at Liu Xuan, he looked at the corners of Liu Xuan's mouth moving slightly, as if he wanted to speak, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "I can take out the evidence, but I don't know if the emperor can pardon Weichen for innocence?"

Liu Xuan nodded and said, "There are all the Qing family here to testify for me, you have no jokes, it is impossible for me to go back on my word, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Before Lou Qiong could speak, the officials behind him suddenly knelt on the ground again, and said: "Qi to the emperor, Weichen feels that the general of Zhengxi has made countless meritorious contributions, and after being loyal and righteous, there is nothing wrong with paying homage to the marquis, and Weichen should fully support the emperor's decision." With that, the officials retreated into the queue.

Zhang Wuxian looked at the scene in front of him, thinking that it was really a tree falling and scattering, this Lou Qiong saw that his life was not guaranteed, and everyone hurriedly broke away from him, what is this, this is the so-called friend of interests!

Lou Qiong trembled and slowly took out an envelope from her internal strength, closed her eyes and handed it to the little eunuch, who passed it to Liu Xuan again.

Liu Xuan opened the envelope, and there were two letters inside. One of them probably said that Lou Qiong was Liu Tong's eyeliner placed in the court, and then the other one said that Liu Tong ordered Lou Qiong to find a way to prevent Liu Xuan from rewarding the general of Zhengxi.

After he saw it, he slowly closed it, and said after a long time: "Lou Qiong, I didn't expect you to treat me like this, I have words before you, so I won't kill you, you go!"

After Lou Qiong thanked him, he took off his hat and left the palace, Liu Xuan said that if he didn't kill this guy, he would definitely not kill this guy, in fact, this is mainly Zhang Wuxian's meaning, before going to the court, Zhang Wushu had already said to Liu Xuan that there must be Liu Tong's wings above the court, once found, don't kill them all, after all, Zhang Wuxian also needs Lou Qiong to help him bring a word to Liu Tong.

After Lou Qiong left, Liu Xuan still closed his eyes, leaned on the side of the dragon chair, frowned and gently massaged his temples, and said after a long time: "Everyone, Aiqing, Lou Qiong's name of rebellion has been implemented, I have never killed this person, I am already kind-hearted, but I know that there are still many people in the court who are Liu Tong's people, I hope that you people can learn to judge the time, and those who know the times are Junjie, what is the final fate of what you do for Liu Tong, I believe that your family should know better than me." ”

Liu Xuan paused and said: "If there is nothing to do, the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin will be responsible for announcing the matter, and it must be known to everyone in the entire Liang within one day." My head hurts, so let's retreat first. ”

After that, the civil and military officials left the court one after another, but all of them had bitter gourd faces on their faces, after all, their boss Lou Qiong had been corrected on the spot, and they were still in a state of dilemma and vacillation in choosing the master.
