Chapter 178: The Upper Dynasty
"Lord Sikong, I heard that even Lord Taiwei was injured, and the lower official was even worried, after the next court, the lower official should personally visit the house...... Oh, by the way, Sikong Mansion seems to have been burned to the ground, I don't know where Lord Taiwei is placed? ”
Mu Jing asked with a smile.
This is a very arrogant behavior, it is simply telling him in front of Yuan Feng, yes, your Sikong Mansion was burned by me, what can you bear with me.
As the saying goes, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and don't want to sell your reputation as a scholar.
Today he is arrogant.
Anyway, he has a big backer behind him, and he still doesn't talk about this big backer for a while.
"You ......"
Yuan Feng was angry with the smoke from the seven holes, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, his eyes were red, and he wanted to kill Mu Jing with his eyes.
He is the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, his protégé is in the world, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, how can he ever be so humiliated.
"Young man, don't be too complacent!" Yang Biao walked up and said coldly: "You despise the majesty of the Son of Heaven so much, and you despise the laws of the imperial court, be careful I invite you to talk to the guards, don't think that I can't find those people under you, then you also underestimate my Southern Army son!" ”
"This is Lord Guard!"
Mu Jing glanced at Yang Biao, and sent it to the door to take his own humiliation, and he didn't have to show mercy to his subordinates: "It seems that more than half of Weiwei Yang's mansion was also burned last night, fortunately, Lord Weiwei is fine, very lucky, but Lord Weiwei acted impartially and never mobilized the Southern Army to fight the fire and arrest the bandits, Jing quite admired!" ”
"Click!"
Yang Biao's pupils changed color, his fists clenched, and a sound of joints erupted between his finger bones.
Mu Jing is satirizing him, using the public for personal gain, and the soldiers of the southern army as a cover for the scholars.
"Children are rampant!"
Several ministers of the scholar clan were enraged by Mu Jing's rampantness, and gritted their teeth and shouted at Mu Jing.
Last night, there were a lot of burning houses on Zhengyang Street, most of which were the mansions of the ministers of the Shi clan, and the fire was so strong that it was not extinguished until this morning, and there were more people involved.
"Mu Longtu, General Ben is underestimating you!" He Jinlong walked over, his eyes were gloomy, and his expression was cold: "Even my general's mansion dares to burn, what else do you dare not do!" ”
"Xiaguan Mujing, meet the general!"
Mu Jing saluted respectfully: "The general's words, Jing is a little incomprehensible, is it possible that the general is appreciating Jing's courage, that Jing is not daring to be, Jing is young, has no talent and no virtue, only His Majesty respects, that is a little bit of persistence, the person who recognizes it remains the same, the things that are recognized are not chaotic, and it is fearless!" ”
"Good!"
He Jin's face was blue and his eyes were cold, he had really never seen such a rampant teenager.
"Dragon Figure!"
Lu Zhi stopped the footsteps of the stone steps, looked at the tense atmosphere, and said in a harmonious voice: "This is all Shangguan, don't be rude, let's go, let's go up to the court together!" ”
"The Order of the Honorable Books!"
Mu Jing restrained his arrogance and walked over.
"It's too arrogant!"
"Hmph, such a child, it's like death!"
"If he doesn't die, heaven will not tolerate it!"
One by one, the ministers of the scholar clan looked at Mu Jing's back with their eyes, and gritted their teeth.
"Thank you for the rescue last night!" Yuan Feng took a deep breath, after all, he had seen the wind and rain in the current dynasty, and he was not so breathless that he calmed down, and after he calmed down, he said to He Jin.
"Lord Sikong, I am afraid that life will be difficult today, you and I have to work together to tide over the difficulties!"
He Jin said in a deep voice.
I don't have to say what the result was last night, but it is a fact that the sword soldiers were moved, and it is a taboo for the emperor to move troops without permission in this Luoyang City, and the Son of Heaven will be furious.
"As it should be!"
Yuan Feng nodded.
Lu Zhi and Mu Jing, who were walking in front, walked very quickly, and they were about to walk on the threshold of the main hall.
"Long Tu, why are you so sharp, the golden mean lies in hiding!" Lu Zhi is upright, and the things he believes and the people he identifies rarely change, and he has a good impression of Mu Jing, this young man is a loyal and patriotic person in his heart.
"Lord Shangshu, it's not like Jing wants to be like this!"
Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangshu think about it, if I didn't have the slightest defense last night, I'm afraid it would be a corpse, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they are so rampant, I am resentful in my heart, if there is anything wrong, it is still an adult's teaching!" ”
"After all, you are only fourteen years old, and it is natural that you are young and vigorous, but above this court, you can't tolerate the word spirit, so be careful in the future!" Lu Zhi is a person from the past, he is just too rash, so he has been constantly dismissed, otherwise with his merits, the position of the third prince is a matter of course.
"Master Shangshu's teachings, Jing Ming remembers!"
Mu Jing hurriedly saluted, his heart was a little warm, this Lu Zhi really thought about himself, he would not refuse this kindness.
"Go to the court, a hundred officials will meet you!"
In the main hall, the shrill voice of the eunuch was heard, and the sound waves were stacked, which could penetrate a radius of several miles.
All the officers took off their boots, put on white socks, and walked forward.
This is the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.
To go on pilgrimage to see the Son of Heaven, you need to be crowned, disarmed, sword, and boots before you can enter the temple.
"We meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
"We meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
The officials lined up and bowed to the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair.
Mu Jing is just a small official with a rank of 600 stones, just like the status of a county order, he was originally not qualified to go to the court, but when today's son is amnesty, and the seal supervisor is an official office opened by the Son of Heaven himself, he is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so he has the power of the court and ranks in the last class.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
The Son of Heaven said in a harmonious voice.
"Emperor Xie!"
The officials stood up, but their waists were all bowed slightly, their heads bowed, and they would not look at the Son of Heaven directly, after all, this was too disrespectful.
"I heard that last night, there was a fire in Luoyang, which burned an entire street, I want to know, why?"
The cold voice of the Son of Heaven sounded in the hall.
The ministers fell silent for a moment.
"Where is the Yang Order?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Sima Fang has been dismissed from his post by the Luoyang Order, and the Luoyang Order has not yet been implemented!"
"What about Yang Cheng?"
"The lower official is here!" Luoyang Chengwei Qu walked out of the team and stood by.
"I ask you, where did the fire come from?" The voice of the Son of Heaven was kind, which made Wei Qu feel a chill floating from his back involuntarily.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is ...... Someone set fire! ”
Wei Qu gritted his teeth and said it in a deep voice.
"Someone set it on fire?"
The Son of Heaven said coldly: "Who is so bold? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached one person!"
An imperial historian came out, and he arched his hand and said.
Yushi is an official of the court, and he can impeach a hundred officials.
"Accurate!"
"The minister impeached the seal and supervised the order, the prince of Xi'e Mujing, kept private soldiers in captivity, set fire to Sikong Mansion, ignored the laws of the imperial court, despised the majesty of the imperial court, and the crime should be extinguished, and should be immediately imprisoned and beheaded at noon!"
This imperial history is called Qin Zhong, he is a scholar, not a scholar, he is indeed a protégé of the Yuan family, and his knowledge is inherited from the Taiwei Yuan Tang of the year.
"Qin Yushi wants to impeach the prince of Xi'e, do you have any opinions?" The Son of Heaven said indifferently.
"The minister thinks that the impeachment is right!"
"Such an arrogant and domineering person will be judged in prison at the moment!"
"Why do you need to be guilty, you should be beheaded directly to set an example!"
One by one, the ministers came out and said indignantly.
"Looking at all of you, Aiqing thinks that Mu Jing's crime is unforgivable!"
The Son of Heaven smiled, smiling so coldly, above this court, there are too many protégés of the Yuan family, and it is time to move his muscles and bones, he said indifferently: "Where is the Mulong Diagram!" ”
"The minister is here!"
Mu Jing bowed down and walked out from behind, kneeling on the ground.
"They're impeaching you, do you hear me?"
"I heard you!"
"What can you say!"
"The minister is wronged!"
"Then tell me how you were wronged!"
The corner of Tianzi's mouth raised a playful smile and said.
"First, the minister was in the official office last night to deal with the government affairs of the printing superintendent, and he never left the printing superintendent half a step, how can he have arson time!"
"Second, they say that the ministers keep private soldiers in captivity, according to the laws of the imperial court, my father is the Marquis of Xi'e Township, and he has the right to raise 200 soldiers as retainers.
"Third, last night's fire, burning Zhengyang Street, my West Ehou Mansion is the first to bear the brunt, if I order arson, how can I even burn my own mansion, such a stupid thing, how can I Mujing do it!"
Mu Jing knelt down, his hands arched, and his voice was lang: "Although the ministers are humble officials, they will not allow others to frame them, if you ministers do not have real evidence, frame my name, and damage the reputation of my Western Hubei Mansion, I can also slander the name of the false accusation and sue the ministers!" ”
"Sharp tongue!"
"What a Hou Mansion has a good reputation, and he doesn't know shame!"
"Sue me and wait, hum, it's so thick-skinned!"
One by one, the ministers looked at the young man's sharp teeth, and suddenly became a little angry.
"Qin Zhong, as the imperial historian, you impeach the court officials, do you have evidence in your hands?"
The Son of Heaven pressed his hand, suppressed everyone's voices, looked at Yushi Qin Zhong, and asked.
"Minister......" Qin Zhong felt a sigh in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good.
"Yes or no!"
"The minister hasn't had time to gather evidence yet!"
"Humph!"
The Son of Heaven was furious: "Since ancient times, the imperial history has been clear, and he has the power to impeach hundreds of officials, but it is not that Er and others have empty mouths and white teeth, falsely accusing colleagues in the court, coming to someone, taking down Qin Zhong, and handing it over to the court lieutenant for review, if he is convicted, he will be dismissed from his position, exiled to the frontier, and will never be hired!" ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!"
Qin Zhong hurriedly lay down and begged for mercy.
"Drag it off!" Zhang Rang commanded the left and right wrestlers and dragged this person down directly.
Yuan Feng watched, but he didn't dare to speak, because he couldn't give the Son of Heaven a chance to rectify him, he could only endure it.
"Your Majesty!" Mu Jing couldn't bear it, he spoke again: "The minister also wants to sue!" ”
"Tell whom!"
"The minister wants to sue the government of Luoyang!"
"Why?"
"The government of Luoyang is responsible for the security of Luoyang City, when the bandits are eliminated, and the hearts of the people of Luoyang are appeased, but last night hundreds of dead soldiers raided my printing prison, burned and killed the front plunder, killed my printing supervisor's son, and burned my printing supervision office, how vicious is this!"
Mu Jing said: "Fortunately, I made the seal supervisor Erlang work together to defeat the thief rebellion, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such a trouble, isn't it the dereliction of duty of the Luoyang Mansion, we are conscientious and conscientious for the imperial court, but we are in danger, how uneasy!" ”
