Chapter 234: The Sacred Heart is established
Another day passed, and the heavy rain still did not mean to stop, but fell more urgently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After noon, Meng Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Yin Yaoxuan, the commander of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, personally led people to temporarily relocate the people in the west of the city to a temporary shed in the east city.
Afterwards, Yao Xuan left the aftermath, and Meng Zhong went back to report to Emperor Qiyang.
Yao Xuan now has a terrible headache.
These few days, I am afraid that it has been the busiest time since he took office.
With so many people arranged to come to Dongcheng at once, there are too many things that he needs to take care of.
After all, there are many nobles in the east city, if one is not good, and any of the people in the west of the city offend the magnates, or which magnates bully others, he, Jing Zhaoyin, is afraid that he will have to do it!
Therefore, he has been running around to tell each other these days, and he is so busy that he is exhausted.
Meng Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, went to the imperial study to meet Emperor Qiyang and truthfully reported the situation to him.
Emperor Qiyang also felt a little relieved in his heart after hearing this.
Originally, when Zuo Xiang and the others came to report the matter in the west of the city that day, he was a little suspicious.
If it weren't for Zuo Xiang saying that this matter was calculated by Master Huijue, he was afraid that he wouldn't even believe half of it!
But now that the heavy rain has been falling for three and a half days, Emperor Qiyang's heart has already believed most of this matter.
He is also gambling that if what Master Huijue said really happens, then his actions will become a Ming Jun praised by everyone and loved by the people, otherwise, it will cause resentment among the people.
But the heavy rain these days has made his heart a little more determined.
Emperor Qiyang thought to himself, Master Huijue is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he can really understand the heavens, and now he just needs to wait for the results.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qiyang's heart settled down a lot, and he waved his hand to let Meng Zhong retreat first.
Originally, the matter in the west of the city was temporarily resolved, and Emperor Qiyang was a lot more relaxed in his heart, but who knew that it didn't take long for his relaxed mood to come back with news that made him angry.
After dinner that day, Gonggong Xu suddenly came to report that there was an 800-mile urgent performance from Cangzhou.
Emperor Qiyang felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly felt that things were not good, so he hurriedly asked Gonggong Xu to present the folds.
After a while, Emperor Qiyang was really furious after reading the fold, and threw the fold on the imperial book case.
Gonggong Xu was so frightened that his brows jumped a few times, and he listened to Emperor Qiyang tell him to summon important ministers from the left and right to enter the palace and come to the imperial study to discuss matters.
Gonggong Xu didn't dare to delay for a moment, answered, and hurriedly trotted out of the imperial study, and went to assign people to summon all the adults to enter the palace.
A cadre of important ministers knew that something must have happened, otherwise Emperor Qiyang would not have summoned them to the palace at this time, and they did not dare to delay at the moment, so they hurriedly changed into court clothes, ordered the servants to get into the carriage, and hurried to the palace.
When the ministers arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Qiyang didn't give them time to react, and directly asked Gonggong Xu to show them the letter respectively.
According to the size of the official position, Gonggong Xu first presented the fold to Guo Wei, the left minister.
Zuo Xiang took the fold handed over by Gonggong Xu with both hands, unfolded it and looked at it, and immediately understood why Emperor Qiyang was so angry.
The left minister thought about the relationship between Zhou Xian, the governor of Cangzhou, and the right minister, glanced at the right minister with inexplicable eyes, and handed over the fold to him.
The right prime minister frowned slightly, took the fold handed over by the left minister, opened it, and scolded in his heart: Idiot!
Next, the other ministers also read the letter, and everyone's expressions were different, but they all had a tacit understanding that no one spoke.
Emperor Qiyang's gaze roamed back and forth between them, and he said coldly: "I called you here to listen to your views on this matter, not to ask you to be dumb!" Didn't you keep arguing when you went to court on weekdays, why is it silent now! ”
The left minister knew that the right minister would not express his opinion easily, so he had to open this mouth himself.
He thought, it's okay to take advantage of Emperor Qiyang's anger, if he can uproot a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the right faction in one fell swoop, it would also be good!
Thinking of this, Zuo Xiang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xian, as a parent official in Cangzhou, is corrupt and perverts the law, fills his own pockets, and disregards the lives of many people, which is really hateful, but I am afraid that this matter will not be able to be done for so long by Zhou Xian alone, according to the old minister's humble opinion, it is better to investigate thoroughly!" ”
After listening to the words of the left minister, the right minister couldn't help frowning.
Guo Wei, an old fox with bad intentions, knew that he definitely wanted to use Zhou Xian's matter to pull it on himself.
No, he can't let that happen!
Although there is no clear evidence that Zhou Xian has a relationship with him, he can't take this risk, and if more people are involved because of Zhou Xian alone, wouldn't it be even worse?
Thinking of this, the right minister also hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the left minister's words feel inappropriate, the prince wrote in the compromise, Cangzhou is angry, the people want him to punish the corrupt officials, give them an explanation, the minister thinks, Zhou Xian should be executed first, to give these angry victims an explanation, otherwise, if there is a riot in Cangzhou because of this incident, the safety of the prince is not guaranteed, and it will also hinder your reputation!" ”
After listening to the words of the right minister, the left minister had a bad heart.
Looking up at Emperor Qiyang's face again, he really relaxed, and nodded, seemingly agreeing with the words of the right minister.
Zuo Xiang sighed secretly and shook his head at the few officials who still wanted to refute him.
He knew that Emperor Qiyang was afraid that the Sacred Heart had been decided, and it could not be reversed.
It's just a pity that this is a rare opportunity to uproot the forces of the right faction.
However, the affairs of the victims are indeed critical, and there is no room for delay, so we should only seek the well-being of the victims......
The officials on the left side did not put forward contradictory opinions, and the right side of the right side naturally agreed with the words of the right minister.
Luo Zheng wanted to say something, but was also stopped by Shen Zishan, Marquis of Jinyang, who was standing beside him.
He saw Shen Zishan secretly shaking his head at him, making a gesture of no, and motioning for him to look up.
Luo Zheng followed the direction of his gaze to Emperor Qiyang, and saw that Emperor Qiyang was very satisfied and talked to Youxiang about dealing with Zhou Xian.
Luo Zheng secretly gritted his teeth, but still resisted the decision to open his mouth to refute the words of the right minister.
It's just that in his heart, there is a sense of disappointment......
In the end, Emperor Qiyang's imperial pen Zhu Pi, gave Zhou Xian to death, and let the prince of Duanjin be beheaded in Cangzhou, and killed this big corrupt official in front of the people of Cangzhou!
In this way, even if this matter is so decided, there is no room for change.
Although the left minister and others regretted in their hearts, most of the officials in their faction were soft-spoken, and they could easily fight the group of "jackals, tigers and leopards" around the right minister, and naturally there was no way to reverse Emperor Qiyang's decision.
In desperation, I can only do what I am told.
Fortunately, Zhou Xian is also a big corrupt official this week, and when he has been in trouble for a long time, it is a good thing to be able to get rid of him! (To be continued.) )
