Chapter Seventy-Nine

On this day, Chen Yanzhi summoned all the officials who entered the palace to meet him, and a group of officials knelt on the main hall in the early dynasty, and they were about to see the emperor before they would stop, and they took the lead in a small number of imperial historians.

Chen Yanzhi and others have calculated, if they can't see the emperor, they will kneel on the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace, saying that they are loyal to the emperor, afraid that some people will bully the master, and even accuse the emperor of being killed by the female cadre, and the zero and zero will always turn over and over again, just a few words, the meaning of the words is that if you can't see the emperor, you will not give up, and if you can't do it, then you will break through, their banner is absolutely above board, if there are eunuchs and guards who do not give way, they will be sentenced to death on the spot on the charge of detaining the emperor as a hostage, and those slaves do not dare to be presumptuous.

The plan drawn up by Chen Yanzhi completely thought about and considered all kinds of unexpected situations, just waiting for the trouble, everyone looked like they were in their chests, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Li Desheng took a look at this scene, it was wonderful, and it was the first time that someone pointed out that Sang scolded Huai as a metaphor that he was the female cadre who held the emperor hostage and bullied the king.

What a good scene, how much thought did the second prince put into it to invite such a few absolutely amazing eloquence officials to take the lead, Li Desheng has no heart to spend it with these people now, don't they want to face the saint, Cheng, there is no need to force each other to die, just your dirty blood, he is still afraid of dirtying the quiet place in this palace. It's better to say than to sing, let them try to die, but they don't know which corner to shrink to.

Chen Yanzhi thought that these people were not allowed to kneel for a day, and whether they could see the emperor had to be said separately, the floor on this hall was smooth and flat and extremely hard, and if they knelt for a day, I am afraid that their legs would have been wasted long ago. Fortunately, he had a clever idea to come up with a way, a cotton bag for knee pads in winter, which would be just right for use, not to mention that it was good to carry on the knees, warm and soft, hidden in the pants and blocked by heavy court clothes. I can't see it at all.

Li Desheng turned back to the Qinzheng Hall again, and opened his mouth in front of many ministers and said: "The emperor has an order, since all Aiqing insists on facing the saints, please go to the Longhua Hall with the minions." "Who is that little trick to coax? Not all fools, want to cause trouble, want to be beautiful.

One of the officials in Chenyan was stunned when he heard this, this, this is too easy, don't you have to have a tug-of-war or something, and then fall a few officials who can't kneel, so that they can go directly to Longhua Hall in anger, how can they agree. And it is also the emperor's dictation, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is absolutely impossible to falsely pass on the holy decree, who is Gonggong Li, the confidant around the emperor, how could he do such a headless thing.

The official kneeling on the ground almost dropped his jaw in shock. All of them opened their mouths wide, looking at a dazed look, and they all looked at the position where Chen Yan was kneeling, it seems that this play can't be performed according to the previously planned route, what to do next, you have to have an idea.

"What, the ministers don't want to meet the emperor?" Li Desheng looked at Chen Yanzhi meaningfully. Because it was a standing relationship, the minister kneeling on the ground at the bottom, with a look of forgetfulness and concealment, looked at it without leaking.

Li Desheng condescendingly glanced at the ministers, although his identity was a chief eunuch, that is, an official of the third grade. But he is also a big celebrity around the emperor, and even Ouyang Ye, the prime minister of the dynasty, greeted him politely when he saw it.

"No, it's not." Chen Yanzhi immediately recovered from his astonishment, and hurriedly said, "The ministers are in order." He stood up and led a group of dumbfounded ministers to follow Li Desheng to Longhua Palace.

Chen Yan's heart took a few sharp turns, and he secretly wondered whether the emperor was sick or pretending to be sick. Being able to see the minister today shows that the emperor is sober, and why he has not been in court, this delay is a month and a half, which is incomprehensible for a while.

There are not a few people who have the same thoughts as Chen Yanzhi, and the ministers who follow are all confused, unable to tell which thing is true, and their minds are like hot water rolling over their heads.

Along the way, Chen Yanzhi restrained his mind and didn't dare to think about it, so he only waited to see the emperor before making a judgment and making the next step.

There are twenty-six officials who entered the Longhua Palace, you have to say that there are more than 100 civil and military officials, where have the remaining ministers gone, and the remaining ministers are not fools, don't you see that the prime minister broke his leg and is still at home before. There is no need to stand guard in the early court, which can explain a big problem, plus there is such a thing in the morning court today, how do you still understand what is going on, the remaining ministers are unwilling to participate in the in, even the prime minister can hide at home, why should they join in this fun, they have to fold in. Knowing the pros and cons, even the officials who usually watched the excitement rested their minds and quickly left the group of cattle kneeling in the main hall.

Chen Yanzhi and the others entered the Longhua Palace, and a smell of medicine came to their nostrils, even if the hall burned with Long Yanxiang, it could not be dispelled.

Now the officials have a bottom in their hearts, it seems that the emperor is not really pretending to be sick, and he followed Gonggong Li and walked in, not daring to look around, this is the rule.

Entering the inner hall, Chen Yanzhi and the others raised their eyes and looked at it, knelt down and saluted ten steps away from the dragon couch, and the eyes that they glimpsed out of the corner of their eyes were horrified, and it was certain that there was a vague figure standing upright behind the bright yellow curtain, thinking that because they were sitting on the bed, the shadow was a little short.

Li Desheng stepped forward and put the curtains on the gold-painted hooks on both sides, and as the layers of curtains were opened, the figure on the dragon couch was revealed.

"I heard that all Aiqing did not hesitate to die to admonish the Diligent Government Hall in order to see me?" Mu Haoyu glanced at the people on the ground.

All the officials were suddenly shocked, this voice was from the emperor, although it sounded soft and weak, it was indeed a real person, some bold officials took the opportunity to look up, the range of movement was not large, it looked like they heard something surprised and subconsciously reacted, to see the speaker.

"The ministers are worried about the emperor's condition." Chen Yanzhi motioned for the official to speak, and the ministers after him echoed him.

"Really?" Mu Haoyu inadvertently asked, "Why do I think Aiqing is here to confirm something?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a chill behind the ministers, and some of the officials who were not very bold were already covered with cold sweat on their foreheads, and they were nervous.

"The ministers don't dare." And all the ministers kowtowed again and confessed, and their heads were almost touched to the cold ground.

"Don't dare?" Mu Haoyu's tone was slightly raised, and he looked careless, "I see that you are very bold, and you can't persecute the prime minister, and now you have a death admonishment, okay." That's great! ”

The ministers were silent when they heard this, and some officials were so frightened that their bodies trembled like chaff, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"The emperor is angry!" The ministers kowtowed again and admitted their mistakes, "The ministers are in a hurry and have to make this decision." For a while, the recklessness disturbed the emperor's rest, and he hoped that the emperor would forgive the ministers and other disrespectful crimes. ”

"Sounds like loyalty." Mu Haoyu said lukewarmly: "I really thought that I was sick and confused, and someone couldn't sit still before I died!" ”

"Ahem." Mu Haoyu was so angry that he couldn't breathe well and coughed, and Li Desheng handed tea and patted his back, so it was easy to ease up.

The officials below are all like ashes, and the emperor's words poke at their dark thoughts, how can they not be afraid of the emperor's condemnation.

Some officials have begun to regret how they listened to Chen Yanzhi's words in the first place, saying that it was not a big deal, and they were in a high-sounding name. There is only the advocacy of benefits and no disadvantages, and maybe you can be promoted and make a fortune, phew, it's all bullshit, and you can be pitted. It's better to move forward and retreat now.

No matter how much sophistry there is now, all the sophistries are useless, the emperor will not believe it at all, just relying on that three-inch incorruptible tongue to turn things around, it is stricter than wishful thinking, everyone is a courtier who has been in the court for many years, and the emperor's temper has been slightly touched, as long as it is something that the emperor has identified. It's useless to let you say that it's a mess, not to mention that the purpose of this incident is just what the emperor said? Even the justification is saved.

All the ministers now want to die, but they don't know how the emperor will send out themselves, they are really greedy for small and cheap and suffer big losses, not to mention the coveted benefits that one of the Chen Yan began to promise, and now the Chen Yan City itself is difficult to protect. Not to mention anything else.

"What, dumb?" Mu Haoyu was imposing, and looked directly at the ministers present, "Isn't it quite possible to say one by one?" ”

There were six officials who were covered in cold sweat at this moment, and their eyes were full of horror. Every word the emperor said was like a knife piercing their hearts, and their brains were even more messy, they couldn't think of anything, and their ears were always echoing the emperor's intended words, which made people feel like falling into an ice cellar, and it was difficult to speak.

Chen Yanzhi never thought that the situation would be dramatized to come to a big reversal, none of them were according to their own plans, and now it is even worse, the emperor obviously knows a lot of things, how to protect himself in the current critical situation, once he is condemned by the emperor, what hope is there on the second prince's side.

"The loyalty of the ministers is visible to the sun and the moon." Chen Yanzhi didn't care about the danger he was exposed and opened his mouth to defend himself, even if it didn't work, he always had to try to feel at ease.

"It's a good sun and moon to see." Mu Haoyu's voice was extremely calm, and he couldn't hear half of his feelings, "Since this is the case, I will reluctantly let you all prove it one by one, how the sun and the moon can be seen." ”

As soon as the words fell, waiting for Chen Yanzhi to speak, Mu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Someone." ”

When the guards outside the palace heard the summons, they immediately strode into the inner hall, and after saluting, they stood on one side and waited for the emperor's dispatch.

Mu Haoyu named the names of the fourteen ministers, "Strip off the official uniform and put it in the prison for a thorough investigation by the Criminal Department to see if there is any mistake committed by the Traitor Section, if there is no official reinstatement and then promoted to another level, if there is, then let the people take a good look, how these people who keep saying that their loyalty is visible are bullying the king." ”

The guards moved quickly, and the fourteen officials were dragged out of the Longhua Hall like dead dogs, and thrown directly into the prison of the Criminal Department, and at this moment they were too late to refute, let alone beg for mercy.

The remaining twelve people looked at their colleagues who were thrown into prison, their hearts trembled, their lips trembled, they were frightened by the emperor's actions, and cold sweat dripped from the corners of their foreheads on the floor and made a almost inaudible sound.

Mu Haoyu admired the frightened faces of the rest of the people for a while, felt a lot more comfortable, and sent a message to give your twelve ministers a happy heart.

"The rest of the people will be demoted by one level and fined for one year, and go back and reflect on whose courtiers you are." Mu Haoyu dropped this sentence and sent people to retreat, but he was sick and was very angry by this group, so he should come out.

In less than a moment, everyone outside knew what happened in Longhua Palace, and the minister who met was summoned by the emperor, and then he was condemned, sweeping the entire court like a gust of wind, and at the same time there was a hint of schadenfreude in shock.

Yes, who let them do their best to poke the hornet's nest, there is no benefit, to put themselves in prison, the place of the criminal department has been washed in blood twice It is no longer what it used to be, and now any minister who talks about the criminal department is not all discolored and does not want to say more.

And the officials up and down the Criminal Department, now it's good, they can finally raise their heads, not afraid of any colleagues, let you be a big official, if you commit a crime, you don't have to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, don't say that you can't be offended, the new hatred and old hatred are counted together, and you who keep and serve are extremely comfortable.

The second prince got the letter, and he didn't dare to go to Chen Yanzhi immediately to ask about the situation, so he sent someone to quietly send the letter over, and he had to know what was going on, whether his father was really sick or set a trap. What did he anger his father, and now he lost a lot of officials for his own use.

As long as you observe this matter carefully, you will find that the officials who are in the prison are all newly attached to the second prince, and the remaining twelve people led by Chen Yanzhi are all from a big family, and they belong to the power of the second prince from the beginning. Chen Yanzhi and others seem to have a lighter punishment, this has to be compared with the officials of the eldest prince's faction, you will find the key to it, there are a few officials with high official positions, the eldest prince, all of them are important ministers in the court, on the other hand, there are not a few left on the second prince's side, and the scene is not enough to see at all, and the power of the second prince has been reduced a lot at once, and now it is even more impossible to compare with the eldest prince.

Chenzhi's performance master is not conducive to being demoted, and the people of the second prince's faction dare not come forward, some people have already given birth to the idea of breaking away from the second prince's faction, not to say that they want to change to the door of the eldest prince, even if they change the court, the eldest prince will not believe it, why bother to be bored, there is a plan to remain neutral, just like the prime minister, will not be unnecessarily implicated, let alone worry every day and even sleep badly. They also have families and businesses, and the most profound impact of their ups and downs in the DPRK is the family around them. It is indispensable to do a little bit up and down for their official position, although the second prince of the station can use the name of the second prince to do things outside, how much can open the door of convenience, but that does not mean that there is no need to give anything, the silver of filial piety to the second prince must be sent to the second prince's mansion every other day, no matter how much you earn, how can you send it out, the second prince ran into it when there was a bad time, just waiting to be reprimanded, this kind of future has been enough, and I want to live a comfortable life in peace and stability for a few days.

The second prince and Chen Yanzhi didn't know that the officials who had always been on their side had the idea of retreating because of this incident.
