Chapter 179: Did I Have a Friendship with the Prime Minister?
"Hmm." Nodding approvingly, Su Yitong smiled and said, "Go on." ”
Seeing that Su Yitong did not show displeasure because of his radical words, the minister couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and continued with confidence: "Now the country is in turmoil, and the people are uneasy. Whether it is a merchant or an official household, they all rely on the enslavement of the lower classes of the people to obtain wealth. The emperor's rash decree to divide the land under the government's rule according to population is undoubtedly to tell the people of the world that at this point, the government and the people are equal, and there is no longer slavery. After a pause, he continued, "But has Your Majesty ever thought about it? While this is a good move, the timing of its promulgation is wrong. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the current disasters in various places have pushed my departure from the country to the cusp, not to mention whether other countries will covet my departure from the country because of this, as far as the civil strife caused by the disaster in my departure from the country is concerned, a mishandling is enough to make your courtiers feel cold." ”
"Therefore, the minister hereby implores the emperor to think twice, reduce the taxes of the people, divide the land, and exempt the slave status can indeed attract the hearts of the people for you, but the organization cannot be abolished, if the emperor insists on going his own way, it will only make me leave the country and let the merchants have a heart, so that your courtiers ......"
"How?"
Before the minister's words were finished, everyone saw that on the high platform, Su Yitong, who was dressed in a dragon robe, stood up vigorously, and with a flick of his sleeve robe, the incense burner placed on the case fell to the ground with a "bang", making a crisp sound of metal colliding.
It seemed that the atmosphere of the entire hall suddenly froze, except for the person who gave the admonition, whose face was pale, and the rest of the people were holding their breath and not moving.
Su Yitong looked at the minister coldly, and said word by word: "A good person is divided into three, six, nine, etc., a good time is wrong, and a good organization cannot be abolished." ”
Su Yitong praised three good things in a row, but everyone present knew that this was a precursor to the anger of the Son of Heaven.
"Don't you think that because you are an important minister of the court, you can rely on this identity and treat me as if I were nothing?" Su Yitong said: "Since ancient times, there have been many kings who have abolished the system, and I just issued a decree that was unfavorable to you, so you entered the palace late at night, accusing me of my faults," and when her voice was mentioned, she said angrily: "Then I will ask you, where is my mistake?" Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and my move is to lose weight for the people, and it is true that I am trying to win the hearts of the people, but the right and wrong of the king are judged by future generations, and you say that I am bent on going my own way, so have you pointed out the evidence that is not conducive to the current situation? ”
"Jun Aiqing." With a flicker of his eyes, Su Yitong looked at Jun Moyan and said, "Take the list." ”
"This ......" Seeing her look indignant, as if she had a surge of qi and blood, Jun Moyan hesitated for a while.
Now, although it is the best time to punish these ministers, who have no one in their eyes, on the contrary, it is also the most unfavorable time for her.
Tomorrow she will leave the city with Feng Feiyi and rush to Luoyi. If she shakes out this list at this time, I am afraid that half of the ministers in the DPRK and China will be implicated. And this is not the most important, the most important thing is that once an official is convicted, he will be dismissed and investigated, so that the court is empty, and the official is not replaced, and there is a fear that mistakes will occur.
What's more, when she leaves, although the court has him and Liuli to control the government, if the suddenly empty court is reported by the details of other countries, it will only cause trouble.
He doesn't know anything about the court, but when it comes to the common things of soldiers, he is more shrewd than anyone else.
Pursing his lips, he suddenly changed his normal state and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people, and you must not ignore the people because of a momentary anger." ”
Words and sentences, words are sincere.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, Su Yitong said disdainfully: "What, the general also wants to be this good person?" ”
"The emperor misunderstood," Jun Mo said: "The minister has no intention of being a good person, but he ......"
"But just a courtier, dare to commit a crime, if you don't like it, you will be executed, so why bother yourself," At this moment, a slightly low demonic voice suddenly sounded in the silent hall, interrupting Jun Moyan's words.
The ministers looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw two figures, one black and one red, walking side by side, slowly approaching the Zhengqing Palace.
It's the regent and the prime minister!
Suddenly, the court hall, which had just been quiet, was like boiling water, steaming and tumbling.
The ministers had their own thoughts, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but talk to each other, but they didn't dare to make any noise.
As soon as Feng Feiyi entered the Zhengqing Palace, he said: "Your Excellency is so interested, you enter the palace in the middle of the night to disturb Your Majesty, but you don't tell this king, what is the reason?" ”
Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, the ministers who knew the regent's temperament did not dare to touch his brow at this time, and for a while, the whole hall was silent.
Liuli followed Feng Feiyi's side, although her eyebrows and eyes were cold, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she said gently to everyone: "Your Excellency, don't be frightened, the regent is just joking with everyone." As he spoke, he hurriedly bowed to Su Yitong and said respectfully: "Chen Liuli, I have seen Your Majesty." ”
"Hmm." Seeing the two of them, Su Yitong was not as happy as he imagined, and only waved his hand, signaling the two to return to their positions.
"The prime minister just returned to the capital today, why didn't he rest in the mansion and learn from your Aiqing to break into the palace in the middle of the night?" Seeing Liuli calmly walking to his position and standing still, Su Yitong couldn't help but sneer.
Liuli entered the palace, she was the first to know, if it wasn't for the fear of him bad things, she let people notify Feng Feiyi in advance to block his way, I am afraid that she would not be able to get up from the previous confrontation with the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Liuli seems to be gentle, but she knows that this person is very deep in the city and is good at hiding emotions. Therefore, she has always been on guard against him.
"Oh," in the surprised eyes of the ministers, Liuli looked at Su Yitong with a smile, half elegant, half demure, and replied unhurriedly: "The minister heard that the city guards dismissed the people in the city in the middle of the night for no reason, so he was confused, and specially entered the palace to ask for clarification." ”
"Really?" Squinting his eyes, Su Yitong said meaningfully: "I don't know, I just asked the city guards to dismiss the people on the streets and ordered them not to parade the streets in the middle of the night, so this trivial matter provoked all the Aiqing in the court and the central government to enter the palace one after another, accusing me of not being the one." Rubbing her fingers on the dragon pattern carved on the desk, she then hooked her lips, and said casually: "I don't know the prime minister, but I came here for accusations?" ”
"Yes and no." Liuli was clear-minded, how could he not hear the edge implied in her words, but now, since he had made a decision, he couldn't allow him to take half a step back, yes, he replied with a smile: "The city guards disturbed the people in the middle of the night, although they were at fault, but the ministers knew that in the name of the emperor, they would definitely not do anything that would damage the royal face." ”
It actually mixed the matter of the city guards disturbing the people in the middle of the night with the royal face.
For a while, the ministers who were secretly happy because of the arrival of Liuli just now hated that he had never appeared here.
"The prime minister is cautious." Jun Mo said with a straight face: "Your Majesty must have a reason for this, and I hope that the Prime Minister will not be quick to speak for a while, and compare Your Majesty to a stupid and incompetent king." ”
The more he talked, the more serious it became, and the ministers subconsciously stood away from Liuli, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They are here today purely for their own personal gain, and as for the incompetence of the Son of Heaven, it is completely out of their consideration.
"The general is serious." Liuli said: "The minister just wants to ask His Majesty for an explanation." ”
Parlance? Well said! couldn't help but laugh out loud, Su Yitong said, "What does the prime minister want?" Or do I need to explain to you why I did this? ”
As he spoke, Su Yitong frowned frequently.
She didn't have much contact with Liuli, and the longest time she spent with her was only in Bianzhou for half a month. If you talk about friendship, I'm afraid that even Yu Wushuang can't compare, if you talk about friendship, this aggressive momentum is obviously standing opposite her.
What does it mean that the Prime Minister, who is also an auxiliary minister, actually stands opposite the emperor? A discerning person will know the mystery at a glance. But what she couldn't understand was that when Liuli left Bianzhou, her attitude towards her was not good, but it was not bad.
can look at the posture in front of him, and he obviously wants to argue with her to the end.
Frowning, Su Yitong looked at Feng Feiyi and asked, "Does the regent have anything to say?" ”
Something is wrong with the glass, she believes that Feng Feiyi also sees the clue. If this is the case, then the name of Liuli on the list of ministers of the prison country cannot be kept.
Rather than keep an opponent who would dig a hole for herself, she might as well chop off his wings first.
Thinking of this, there seemed to be a cold light flashing in her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes.
"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and he doesn't think about his own mistakes, but asks His Majesty in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in this Zhengqing Palace, I don't know what the prime minister's intention is?" If Feng Feiyi doesn't speak, it is enough to startle the monstrous waves.
At this time, no matter how confused the minister in the palace was, he could hear the confrontation between the lines of these people.
Didn't someone use this as a game to deliberately lure them here?
In an instant, the ministers' hearts lit up like a mirror.
Yes, the matter of the city guards sending people home in the middle of the night is not a big deal, since ancient times, there are countries with strict military management that they are not allowed to walk on the streets in the middle of the night, so this matter is very common.
At that time, they were only looking for an opportunity to find their interests in front of the emperor, so after receiving the news, they rushed to the palace, but no one asked how they knew!
Such a big flaw, everyone didn't find out until this moment, and for a while, the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and it's unspeakably miserable.
was used as a target for nothing, not only did he not fall into the good, but he also flattered the Son of Heaven, but he was not looking for unhappiness for himself.
Moreover, looking at this situation, there is no need to guess to know that Ren Ding, who sent them news, has nothing to do with the prime minister.
"The prime minister is just flattering the courtiers and asking for an explanation for the people, and it is not as unbearable as the regent said," Liuli said indifferently: "Please also ask the regent not to distort the meaning of the original appearance and drive a wedge between me and Your Majesty." ”
It's all come to this point, and you still need someone to get separated? Su Yitong was so angry by his words that he didn't laugh angrily, and looked at him in a daze for a long time before asking, "I have a relationship with the prime minister?" ”
