Chapter 367: Crashed to death in front of His Majesty
"Make things clear." Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Xianchun and said slowly, his tone was very low.
His face was dripping. Obviously, Zhu Youxiao was already angry at this time.
All the palace people serving in the room didn't dare to breathe, they all held their breath, bowed down and stood cautiously, for fear of angering Zhu Youxiao.
"Your Majesty, the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect have rebelled!" Xu Xianchun said with a sad face: "The minister escorted Kong Yinzhi back to Qufu, but he was attacked by them halfway. ”
"These men, numbering in the thousands, armed with weapons of all kinds, attacked the convoy of the ministers. Originally, the minister wanted to desperately escort Kong Yinzhi and them away, but who would have thought that Kong Yinzhi was actually in a group with them! ”
Not only did he not go with the minister, but he almost brought the minister into danger. They deliberately slowed down the journey so that the people behind them could catch up, and the minister was almost wiped out because of this. Yes Chen, I'm sorry Your Majesty, Yes Chan didn't find out about Kong Yinzhi's wolf ambition! ”
While speaking, Xu Xianchun cried again, kowtowing his head, and the blood stained the small piece of carpet red little by little.
Seeing Xu Xianchun who was sobbing and sobbing, Zhu Youxiao's heart was trembling.
Not to mention anything else, if he kowtows like this, Xu Xianchun's brain will probably be concussed. I have to say that Xu Xianchun is really good at himself.
"Bold! Sling the bull! How could the descendants of Sage Kong do such a thing? ”
Zhu Youxiao slapped the table and scolded angrily: "It must be that you are afraid of the Wenxiang Sect, regardless of Kong Yinzhi's safety, abandoned them and fled back by yourself." Now you dare to speak out here and frame others, it is simply unreasonable! Come on, pull him down and cut him down! ”
After hearing this, Chen Hong glanced at Xu Xianchun in surprise, and then at Zhu Youxiao, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.
According to common sense, the emperor should have done things at this time, why should he punish Xu Xianchun now?
Compared with Chen Hong, Xu Xianchun is much smarter.
He instantly understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, stood up directly, stood upright and said: "The minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen from heaven and earth, saying that the minister is afraid of anti-thieves, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the minister has nothing to say." ”
"The reason why the minister is in a hurry to return to Jining City is that he wants to tell His Majesty about the rebellion, and hopes that His Majesty can prepare as soon as possible. Now that the news has been delivered, there are no regrets in the minister's heart. So far, the minister has only one death to prove his innocence! ”
After saying this, Xu Xianchun stomped his feet and opened his eyes, his whole face turned hideous, and he rushed towards the pillar not far away, looking like he was going to crash to death on it.
Chen Hong was startled when he saw this scene, and hurriedly rushed up to stop Xu Xianchun.
However, Chen Hong's speed is not as fast as Xu Xianchun, and it is only enough to reach a corner of Xu Xianchun's clothes.
With the tearing sound of the corner of his clothes, Xu Xianchun hit the pillar directly with a bang, and his head was broken in an instant, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
His forehead was fleshy, and his face was covered in blood, and the blood was running down his temples, which looked very scary.
After seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, and he asked angrily, "Is he dead?" ”
Chen Hong was still in a daze, but when he heard the questioning voice of his emperor, he suddenly came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a big dream, stretched out his hand to probe Xu Xianchun's snort, and said, "Back to the emperor, I fainted." ”
"Then why don't you get someone to show him?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and said angrily: "I want to kill him, and I have to wait until he wakes up and asks him about it." Now go to the Imperial Doctor, and don't let him die. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and the maid will go. Chen Hong was agitated for a moment, and quickly turned around and wanted to go out.
"Just send someone." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "You go to Xu Guangqi and Zhang Weixian, I want to tell them about this matter." ”
"Tell them what's going on here." Zhu Youxiao nodded again and said.
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed and quickly went to find someone.
Xu Xianchun was quickly carried down to bandage his wounds.
At the same time, Chen Hong also came to Xu Guangqi's face, and said with a serious face: "Elder Xu Ge, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”
After hearing this, Xu Guangqi hurriedly stood up.
Looking at Chen Hong's very ugly face, Xu Guangqi hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Chen, what's going on?" ”
"Someone is doing the opposite." Chen Hong sighed and said, "Your Majesty summoned the Pavilion Elder and the British Duke. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Guangqi gasped and hurriedly asked.
Chen Hong didn't hide it, and told Xu Guangqi everything that had just happened.
After speaking, Chen Hong continued: "Your Majesty does not believe that the Kong family will rebel. Even if the Confucian family colluded with the Wenxiang Sect and sold all the disaster relief food of the imperial court to the Wenxiang Sect as food for the rebels, His Majesty still did not believe that the Kong family would hook up with the Wenxiang Sect. ”
Xu Guangqi looked at Chen Hong, and the expression on his face was a little exciting.
Since when did this Chen Gonggong also speak like this?
You must know that Chen Hong's words are full of thorns. The few words he said before were enough to prove that the Kong family and the Wenxiang Sect were in collusion.
Reselling the disaster relief food of the imperial court and making military rations for the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect is enough to destroy the family and the clan for this crime alone.
The Kong family is definitely a fellow party of anti-thieves, and there is nothing to say at all. Now in the process of escorting, the person was actually picked up by Wenxiangjiao.
Xu Xianchun said that he took it away, but His Majesty didn't believe it, and as a result, Xu Xianchun was ready to die in front of His Majesty in order to prove his innocence.
Xu Guangqi didn't know how to evaluate this matter. Will Xu Xianchun die in front of His Majesty for this self-proof of innocence?
In fact, there are many people who do this, but not many people actually die. Everyone did this just to show their determination and scare the emperor.
Usually this is a means only available to civil officials, and an imperial eagle dog like Xu Xianchun would not dare to do this at all, because it belongs to threatening and coercing the emperor.
Civil officials have such privileges, and it is impossible for military generals and Jinyi Weidong Factory to have them. If you dare to do that, you will die.
So there's definitely something greasy in this, but I can't say it yet. You can't object to saying that what Xu Xianchun said is true, right? Then the Kong family will really be doomed.
So Xu Guangqi could only pinch his nose and admit it.
In addition, if His Majesty accepts Xu Xianchun's statement, it will definitely be opposed by countless people. At the same time, everyone will also impeach Xu Xianchun.
Now people don't dare to do this, who knows if things are fake now.
If the Kong family was really taken away, instead of being robbed, then who would dare to guarantee at this time, after the matter is confirmed, his fate will be very, very miserable.
As for impeaching Xu Xianchun, everyone is going to die to prove his innocence, what do you want people to do?
Xu Guangqi sighed and said to Chen Hong, "I'll go right away." ”
After saying this, Xu Guangqi walked outside.
On the way, they ran into Zhang Weixian.
Unlike Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian is not thinking about the truth of things at all, and even the Kong family is not thinking about it at all.
In Zhang Weixian's thinking, this is someone who is going to rebel.
It's a good thing, it's an opportunity.
Now that the General Staff Office has just been established, the position of Chief of Staff is still vacant, and the outside world has a lot of criticism of his own yamen, this is an opportunity for him to perform.
Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian was so excited that he had to swing. As for what the Kong family said, Zhang Weixian didn't care.
Once the scale of the rebellion is large enough, it will be a military disaster, and there are marches and wars everywhere, who will care who the Confucian family is?
If you really want to get mixed in here, it will definitely not end well.
"British duke, have you heard about it?" Xu Guangqi looked at Zhang Weixian and asked slowly.
Zhang Weixian nodded with a serious face and said, "I heard about it, and the general situation has been understood." Who would have thought that these thieves would be so bold? Who would have thought that the Kong family would actually collude with them? ”
"The British are cautious." Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "Now that the matter has not come to a conclusion, you can't talk nonsense." ”
Zhang Weixian glanced at Xu Guangqi and knew that this person was not speaking for the Kong family, but was worried about what kind of waves would be caused if this word spread.
But Zhang Weixian doesn't think so, he feels that he not only has to make a statement, but also let everyone know.
If all of his actions are consistent with those of the Cabinet and the civilian authorities, what is the point of the establishment of the General Staff?
If you really want to be the chief of staff, you have to show your role.
If it was the little things in the past, I wouldn't have much to do about it. But this time it is different, you have to show enough firmness and enough position.
"Elder Xu Ge, the things that the Confucius family did were themselves linked to the Wenxiang Sect, and they resold the disaster relief food of the imperial court to the Wenxiang Sect."
"Now the Wenxiang Sect is going to rebel, and all that grain has become the military food of the Wenxiang Sect, and they still say that they are not colluding? I think they're complicit! ”
"Now that the title of Duke Yan has been taken away by His Majesty, this is a prepared risk. Of course, it's in vain! Zhang Weixian said angrily.
Glancing at Zhang Weixian, Xu Guangqi instantly understood that this person was not arguing with himself. This is a statement.
So Xu Guangqi also accepted the idea of continuing to talk to Zhang Weixian, because it was useless at all.
As the saying goes, you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and his position does not represent reason.
A stance is a stance and has nothing to do with reason.
Whether this is true or not, from his standpoint, this is the truth.
It's just that thinking of the next dispute between the government and the opposition, Xu Guangqi still sighed.
There is still some confusion in his heart, why did His Majesty stir up this kind of strife?
Of course, Xu Guangqi could see that this kind of dispute was instigated by His Majesty. However, Xu Guangqi also understood that there was no way to stop it.
But after you go back, you have to think about it, why did Your Majesty do this?
As His Majesty's favorite minister, if you can't even figure this thing out, I'm afraid your path won't go far.
The two of them walked in with their own thoughts, and soon saw Zhu Youxiao with an angry face.
"Minister Xu Guangqi."
"Minister Zhang Weixian."
"See Your Majesty." After the two saw Zhu Youxiao, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”
When Xu Guangqi and the two stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I guess you have already heard about it, right? ”
