Chapter 428: The government and the opposition are shaken
Tang Hao, the eldest prince, colluded with bandits and intended to win over the people. However, the bandits calculated, Tian'an County was broken by the bandits, looted, the prince Tang Hao fled in the wilderness, and in order to save his life, he made a move to drive the people to resist the bandits.
As soon as this news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked!
If Tang Yu hadn't asked Dali Temple to suppress this information overnight, I'm afraid it wouldn't take a few days, and the whole country would know about it. But even so, the surrounding areas of the capital and even half of the Central Regions knew about this matter, and this matter was even more spread in the Western Regions, even if Dali Temple made an all-out move, it could not be suppressed.
The next morning, all the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered in the Jinluan Palace, but after the mountain call, no one came forward to do anything, but looked at the forefront of the military generals.
Tang Yu also looked at the newcomer who had suddenly appeared, although he didn't know who he was, but looking at his official uniform and the position he was standing on, this person should be Tang Jin's person who stayed in Dali Temple.
Qi Dongxin, who stood on the Jinluan Hall for the first time, peeked at the surrounding civil and military officials with a worried face, these people were all existences that he could only look up to on weekdays. Even so, Qi Dongxin showed a calmness on the surface, he came on behalf of his own adult, wouldn't this be a loss to his own adult? He knew that his lord had never suffered a loss in this court.
Courageous, Qi Dongxin walked out, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, my family asked me to ask Your Majesty, what should I do about the eldest prince?" ”
As soon as Qi Dongxin's words came out, the ministers chuckled in their hearts, this kid really dares to say it? Asking about this at this time isn't it pouring salt on the emperor's wounds? But...... If it was Tang Jin's kid who ordered it, it wouldn't be surprising.
Tang Yu frowned, obviously he didn't want to talk about this topic, and just wanted to ask for guilt, but remembered that the guy in front of him was just Tang Jin's talker, blaming him for making him seem to be down.
"How is Dali Temple investigating this matter?"
Qi Dongxin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that the emperor would blame himself, and now it seems that the emperor is still sensible.
"Back to Your Majesty, after the investigation of the Dali Temple, the truth of the matter is basically consistent with the rumors, the only discrepancy is ......" Qi Dongxin said in a low voice, as if he was hesitating to say it.
"What? Say. Tang Yu frowned, and his intuition told him that this so-called discrepancy was not a good thing.
"Back to Your Majesty, my lord instructed that this matter is not trivial, and I would like to ask Your Majesty whether I said it in private or in front of all the courtiers." Qi Dongxin told the truth.
Tang Yu said with almost no hesitation: "Of course, I said it in front of all the ministers, such a major matter must be discussed by everyone." ”
Uncle, you've said everything about this, can I let you say it in private? Isn't this an attempt to alienate himself from his courtiers? Tang Jin, Tang
Jin, you are careful...... It's not the same at all.
"Yes." Qi Dongxin responded, and organized his language slightly: "According to the secret agent's report, during his time in Tian'an County, the eldest prince colluded with the Blood Corpse Sect, intending to use the Blood Corpse Sect's evil law to use his own force. Collusion with bandits to win over the people's hearts is only a superficial excuse, but the real purpose is to slaughter the people and exchange evil laws for strength. ”
"Shhh
In a word, the ministers of civil and military affairs present, including Tang Yu, were temporarily shut down for a moment, waiting for everyone to react, and at the same time gasped, Tang Yu's face turned black directly into the bottom of the pot.
Blood Corpse Cult! It was a first-class cult in the Tang Dynasty, which attempted to assassinate the first emperor many years ago, and almost split the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although its main body was exterminated back then, there were still some remnants hidden in the secret, and in recent years, whenever the imperial court heard a little rumor, they were slaughtered with the principle of preferring to kill the wrong and not let go. Now the eldest prince is involved with them...... Tsk, there's a good show to watch.
"The matter...... Is there any evidence? Tang Yu said with anger in his temper. If he knew that the news that the other party said was this, let alone a gap with the ministers, even if he broke up directly, he would have to let the other party say it in private, it's good now, say it in front of so many people, it is impossible to suppress it, and he can only pray that Tang Jin has no real evidence in his hands.
"There is evidence." Although Qi Dongxin saw the emperor's displeasure, he also tried to follow Tang Jin's instructions: "After the bandits slaughtered the city, the Dali Temple spies went to the county government to collect intelligence, and found that the county government arrested Kuai and the subordinates had the marks of the Blood Corpse Sect, and even found the secret letter of his communication with the Blood Corpse Sect under the bed of His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as some relevant evidence. In the end, he was even more fortunate to catch a member of the Blood Corpse Sect, and through the unique interrogation method of Dali Temple, he confessed all the details of the cooperation between the Great Prince and the Blood Corpse Sect. Now, people and letters are on their way to the capital. ”
"Shhh
Qi Dongxin's words suddenly made the ministers gasp again, and Tang Yu's face was almost black and reflective.
If the previous words only shocked everyone, and did not directly make everyone believe that the Great Prince and the Blood Corpse Sect colluded, then the latter words directly made everyone present believe it.
What can you do if you don't believe it? The evidence and material evidence of the people's families are there, and they are all on the way to the capital, is it possible to lie? Obviously not, because you can't deceive for a while, the evidence has to be sent to the capital sooner or later, if it's fake, it's the crime of bullying the king, but now the other party dares to say it, it's obviously true.
"Your Majesty! The Blood Corpse Sect is a tumor of my Tang Dynasty, and it should be eradicated, and anyone who dares to be in the company of the Blood Corpse Sect should be severely punished! The minister asks for orders, immediately recall the eldest prince, and verify the facts! ”
Without waiting for the others to speak, Xu Youquan stepped forward indignantly and shouted with an expression that was not in harmony with the Blood Corpse Sect. If Tang Jin saw this scene
words, I'm afraid it's going to be a good thing to admire. As the only one present who has colluded with the Blood Corpse Sect, and is even likely to be the existence that contributed to the resurrection of the Blood Corpse Sect, Xu Youquan's acting skills are simply amazing. I scolded myself, and that's probably it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister prays to report this matter to the ancestor of the Heavenly Pavilion to determine the qualification of the eldest prince to win the heir!"
Han Huiding walked out after him, and couldn't help but not refute Xu Youquan's words, but instead increased its seriousness.
Report to Dingtian Pavilion to review Tang Hao's qualifications for succession.
The Gu present were the core members of the Tang Dynasty, and they knew what this so-called qualification for the heir and Dingtian Pavilion was. But it was because I knew that I had to sigh at the viciousness of Han Huiding's words.
As an arbitration institution for the succession of ten thousand sons, the Dingtian Pavilion not only has to monitor the performance of the royal children when they win the heir, but also always review whether they are qualified to continue to participate. If Tang Hao's matter is reported, not to mention more, the qualification to win the heir will definitely be gone, after all, no one will rest assured that a person suspected of colluding with the cult will become the future crown prince.
Prime Minister Han Cheng...... Not necessarily, right? Tang Yu hesitated, and finally could only scold him with advice. As a father, he naturally doesn't want his children to lose the qualifications to win the heir, not to mention that he only has five sons who are eligible to participate now, among which Tang Gou has already been abolished, if there is one less one, even if it is just a straw bale, then Tang Jin will become the crown prince.
"The minister thinks this matter should be reported!"
Han Huiding, who has always liked to flatter the emperor, is surprisingly stubborn today, even if he hears the warning and reprimand in the emperor's words, he still does not show the slightest convincing.
The reason is because of a letter from Tang Jin. There was nothing else in the letter, "You help me remove Tang Hao's qualification to take the heir, I will help you persuade your son to go home, and let him give up his plan to become a monk." ”
So, for the sake of the future of the old Han family, and for the old Han family not to be extinct, Han Hui is sure to take off the black gauze hat on his head today to do this!
"You ......" Tang Yu really didn't expect Han Huiding to be so stubborn today, and just wanted to warn, but saw the ministers below come out one by one.
Zhao Dezhu: "The minister seconded the proposal!" I implore the emperor to report to Dingtian Pavilion! ”
Feng Kainian: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Qin Yu: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
“……”
For a while, the entire Jinluan Hall echoed with the same three words, and it was resounding, and it took an extra cup of tea to barely quiet down. Look down, good fellows, none of them are standing, where are they all kneeling and begging for their lives.
"You guys!"
Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Tang Yu inexplicably felt that he had returned to the time when he was restrained by the courtiers.
