Volume 3 Chaos in Chang'an Chapter 161 People stand in the court, and the pot comes from the sky

After a quarrel, the final result was naturally no different from the past, and no one on either side could convince anyone.

And because he had just been confined last time, and Murong Chui had already been on guard, Luo Chuanhou did not raise his fists to hammer people again this time.

In the end, it was still the same, and the Marquis of Luochuan shouted sadly: "Please Your Majesty is the master of the ministers!" ”

Xinxing Hou also mourned and shouted: "Please Your Majesty is the master of the ministers!" ”

Emperor Qin shook his head helplessly, ready to start making peace with the mud as before.

At this time, Murong Shilian suddenly jumped out and said: "There are many disputes between the Bailan Murong clan and the Kanto Murong clan, and every time they bother His Majesty's holy judgment and disturb the holy rest, the minister's father and son feel ashamed!" ”

Qin Huang: "......"

Do you know that you are still looking for trouble today?

Murong Shilian said again: "The minister thinks that this ancestral sacrifice is a rite, and according to the system, it should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for adjudication." Your Majesty might as well order the Ministry of Rites to make a ruling, no matter the result, I, the Bailan Murong Clan, should follow it. ”

The ministers looked at Murong Shilian, and for a while they didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, you know, Li Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was notoriously timid and afraid of things, and he didn't dare to take responsibility, your Murong family's, even His Majesty could only be with the mud, what if he was replaced by Li Hui? It's not like it's going to be the end.

Emperor Qin thought that Murong Shilian's idea was good, anyway, it was a confused account, so let Li Wei have a headache.

"Murong Qing's family is polite, this matter is indeed a rite religion, and it should be dealt with by the Ministry of Etiquette, Li Qing's family, what do you say?"

"Huh? Your Majesty, this is ...... Old minister, old minister thinks, uh......"

Li Wei exclaimed repeatedly, crying bitterly in his heart, even Emperor Qin felt a headache about this matter, let alone him? These two Murong families are behemoths, and no one wants to offend him, how should this be judged!

"No, this pot old man can't carry it, you have to find a person to carry the pot!" Li Wei secretly made up his mind, and a pair of thief eyes secretly glanced back, and behind him stood a bunch of officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Soon, Li Wei's gaze stayed on Pei Shengqin, which made Pei Shengqin, the people who eat melons, feel a little wrong.

Sure enough, Li Wei turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a matter within the Ministry of Rites, and it is the duty of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Emperor Qin said very happily: "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Xiao Pei Qing to decide, and when the result is obtained, it will be written into a fold and sent to the palace, and I will use it to seal." ”

Pei Shengqin was stunned: "??? ”

The surname is Li, why are you doing human resources? If you don't take the blame, let me carry it?

I'm an off-the-field spectator, how can I become a referee?

"Your Majesty, ......" Pei Shengqin came back to his senses, and wanted to struggle, hoping to throw the pot back on Li Wei.

"Retreat." Emperor Qin was probably also annoyed, and didn't want to have any more branches, so after hurriedly announcing his retirement from the dynasty, he turned around and left.

As soon as Emperor Qin left, the hundred officials naturally dispersed, and they dispersed in a hurry, mainly because today's morning court was open for a long time, and everyone hurried back for lunch.

"Li Shangshu!" Pei Shengqin gritted his teeth and screamed, planning to find Li Wei to theorize well,

As a result, looking around, Li Wei, who was still standing next to him just now, had disappeared.

"Wu'er, don't look for it." Pei Yuanluo walked over, patted Pei Shengqin's shoulder, and said, "At the moment when His Majesty announced his retirement from the dynasty just now, Li Shangshu took advantage of your stunned mind and ran away in three or two steps. ”

Pei Shengqin hated and said: "This old thing, it's so fast!" ”

Pei Yuanluo smiled bitterly and said: "The wood has become a boat, and it is useless to find Li Shangshu now, he is a dignified six-part Shangshu, and he has not treasoned and collaborated with the enemy like Zhu Xu, can you still beat him?" The top priority is to think about how this case should be decided, and His Majesty is still waiting to see the outcome. ”

The father and son talked in a whisper while following the flow of people to the outside of the Imperial Palace, and Pei Shengqin sighed: "This case is so tricky, even His Majesty is difficult to handle, let alone me." ”

If you agree to Bailan Murong's request to move the grave, you will offend the Kanto Murong family; It's like disagreeing, and offending the Bailan Murong clan again. These two families were in the era of the coexistence of various countries, but they were both top-level families who established the country as emperors, and it was a big deal to offend one family at will. According to Pei Shengqin's private feelings, he naturally wants to help the Bailan Murong clan, after all, he and Murong Shilian can be regarded as having a friendship, and he can't get used to the traitors of the Kanto Murong clan, but Pei Shengqin is not ready to offend the Kanto Murong clan now.

Pei Shengqin had a few waves of traitors before, but they were all selective, either like the bald Wei Tan, who had not yet made a career, and the family power was not as good as the Pei family; or like Yao Chang, although he has a high official position in the court, he does not have many henchmen, and he has no military power under his command; Either it is the Qi Fu Guoren or Tuoba Jue, although the forces are strong, they are all local forces, and it is difficult to influence the central government. For example, Tuoba Jue, even if he has enough influence to incite the seven counties outside the Saiwai to rebel, as long as Pei Shengqin does not die and runs outside the Saiwai, Tuoba Jue has no way to retaliate against Pei Shengqin who is in Chang'an.

However, the traitors of the Guandong Murong clan are different from those traitors, the Guandong Murong clan not only has a lot of local forces left in the Kanto region, but also holds many positions in the court, and there is even a favored imperial concubine who blows the pillow wind to the Qin Emperor day and night. With such a traitorous family, Pei Shengqin really can't afford to offend now, and he doesn't plan to offend.

However, if you don't offend the Kanto Murong clan, then you have to reject the Bailan Murong clan's request to move the grave. The Bailan Murong clan is also not to be underestimated, not to mention that now the Bailan Murong clan and Pei Shengqin are faintly friends, if they don't agree to their request to move the grave this time, at least this friendship will be gone now, and it is very likely that they will turn against each other. You must know that the friendship of the Bailan Murong clan is not cheap.

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter, go back to the house and think slowly, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Pei Yuan was slightly relieved.

The father and son walked out of the Imperial Palace, passing by the father and son of the Marquis of Luochuan halfway, and Pei Shengqin saw an ambiguous look that Murong Shilian threw at him.

"Yes, I thought about it, then the Bailan Murong clan has not made trouble once or twice, why didn't you mention it to the Ministry of Rites before, but this time I mentioned it. It must be because they saw that I was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and they felt that they had a friendship with me, and I would look towards them. It is also calculated that Li Wei will shirk his responsibility, once this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Rites, it will inevitably fall on my head......" Pei Shengqin suddenly figured out the cause and effect, and couldn't help but cry out in his heart, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to associate with Murong Shi at the beginning.

Nothing to say all the way.

After returning to the Zitong Mansion, Pei Yuanluo called Pei Shengqin to the study again, and at the same time called Huan Bucai and Wang Mazhi to discuss it together.

There is no way to find these two generals, the original generals of the Tiance Army, except for one Shi Yue who is both wise and brave, the others are basically brave and unstrategic, but unfortunately Shi Yue did not live in the mansion. In addition, Magu and Bo Bo are a female thief, a small child, and they have no strategy. After calculation, now in the entire Zitong Mansion, there are only Wang Mazhi and Huan Bucai, who were originally civil servants in the Jin Dynasty, and can barely be used as a dog-headed military advisor.

Wang Mazhi and Huan Bucai are both wearing official uniforms, they are both hanging in the Tiance Army, and they are also military attachΓ©s. Both of them looked a little blessed, thinking that the food in the Zitong Mansion was good and fat. After listening to the matter, Huan Bucai analyzed: "It's impossible for Your Majesty not to know that this is an errand that offends people, Your Majesty is not afraid of offending people, but Lord Hou is afraid." In this case, His Majesty clearly admires Hou Ye very much, but he still let Hou Ye be in charge of this matter, which obviously has deep meaning. ”

Pei Shengqin understood it at one point, and muttered: "You mean to say that Your Majesty is testing me?" ”

Huan Bucai nodded and said: "That's right, otherwise, Your Majesty can completely suppress the two Murong clans in three or two sentences in the court, so why let you do this thankless thing." The last general felt that His Majesty probably also wanted to see how the Hou Ye would break the situation when he encountered such a situation. ”

Pei Shengqin nodded, he thought about it in his heart, it was indeed the case. Emperor Qin already admired him very much, and he had only rescued the driver in Xinping Temple a few days ago, so Emperor Qin couldn't harm him no matter how much he could. Although it was Murong Shi who asked the Ministry of Rites to deal with it, and then Li Wei pushed the matter to him, as long as Emperor Qin was willing, he only needed one sentence to push this errand off for him. Emperor Qin didn't do this, it seemed that he really wanted to test him.

"General Huan is right, this must be intentional on the part of His Majesty, who wants to see my actions."

Thinking of this, Pei Shengqin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since this was Emperor Qin's test, then the different consequences that might arise after Pei Shengqin made different judgments, Emperor Qin must have also thought about it. Since this is the case, in the future, Pei Sheng and Qin Ruozhen offended one of the two Murong clans because of the verdict, and he was retaliated, and he thought that Emperor Qin would also protect him.

"In that case, how do you think I should judge this case, whether to agree to the Bailan Murong clan to move Murong Shegui's grave, or to reject their request?"

Wang Mazhi, who had been silent, suddenly smiled at this time: "Murong Shegui is the common ancestor of the two Murong clans, no matter which one of the descendants of the house, they are qualified to sacrifice to the ancestors. Therefore, no matter how Hou Ye judges, it is reasonable from a logical point of view, and no one can use this to criticize Hou Ye. The only thing that Hou Ye was worried about was to provoke the hostility of one of the Murong clans. ”

Pei Shengqin thought about it again and said, "That's true. ”

If you agree to the relocation of the Bailan Murong family's grave, this is to fulfill their filial piety, and the descendants of the family want to sacrifice to their ancestors, which is a natural thing; If you do not agree with the relocation of the tomb of the Bailan Murong family, it is also to fulfill the filial piety of the Guandong Murong family, after all, the Guandong Murong family is also the descendant of Murong Shegui, and people also have the right to worship their ancestors. In other words, no matter how Pei Shengqin chooses, he can stand on his moral ground, and he doesn't have to worry about someone using this matter as an excuse to say that Pei Shengqin is favoritism.

Pei Shengqin glanced at Wang Ma with appreciation, but he didn't expect this guy to see things quite thoroughly. But suddenly after thinking about it, this guy said a lot, but he didn't say how to judge it, so he hurriedly asked: "Then how does General Wang think it should be judged?" ”

Wang Mazhi smiled and said, "Since Hengzhi wants to offend one of the Murong families, then naturally whoever gives more benefits will go to whom, how can he do it if he doesn't receive some benefits?" ”

"Where's the benefit?" Pei Shengqin glared at Wang Ma angrily, and said, "Is Ben Hou still going to run to the door to ask for a bribe, don't forget that this is Your Majesty's test, Your Majesty must be paying attention to this matter." ”

Pei Yuanluo understood, and said with a smile: "What does General Wang mean is that the Bailan Murong clan and the Kanto Murong clan will come to the door by themselves, and then make conditions to win over Wu'er?" ”

Wang Ma's way: "The grandfather is wise, and the last general thinks that this is exactly the case." When both sides come to the door and each sets conditions, the Hou Ye can choose the good one and follow it. ”

Pei Shengqin was still a little hesitant: "In this way, although I didn't take the initiative to ask for bribes, it's not good to accept bribes and reach His Majesty's ears?" ”

"In the case of inevitably offending one party, finding a way to obtain some gains and reduce losses is the best solution to this matter. Since His Majesty is testing Hou Ye, he naturally wants to see how Hou Ye can reduce losses or even turn losses into profits. The two Murong families are both profound and rich enough to rival the country, Your Majesty is afraid that someone can take money out of their pockets, how can you blame Hou Ye for this? ”
