Chapter 223, The Courtier's Game
"Oh? What is it? ”
Wanyan Aruo was surprised.
The best gold sore medicine, the holy medicine for healing, Wanyan Aruo has also used it, but there is no medicine yet, after applying the wound, it can give Wanyan Aruo such a comfortable feeling.
Baili Wenfeng was bandaging Wanyan Aruo's wounds, so Wanyan Aruo was still unable to open his eyes.
Baili Wenfeng covered Wanyan Aruo's wound with a white slender strip of white cloth, and answered Wanyan Aruo's question: "Hmm...... This is my own medicine, which is different from other doctors' medicines. ”
The child's words are open-mouthed.
After listening to Yan Aruo, he regretted that he had asked such a question.
Although, now his forehead still feels very cool and comfortable.
However, this medicine ......
However, in the end, it is a sincere heart, Wanyan Aruo has followed Baili Xingchuan for more than a month, and now he has a lot of tolerance for his son.
Therefore, Wanyan Aruo only let out a slightly embarrassed "oh".
Soon, Baili Wenfeng bandaged Yan Aruo's wound, and after the bandaging was completed, Baili Wenfeng habitually advised: "Okay, remember not to let the wound touch the water." ”
After telling the story, Baili remembered that this time the person who was supported was not a big dog.
He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses.
Wanyan Aruo didn't notice it, he only felt that the child was imitating the doctor decently, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
While feeling funny, Wanyan Aruo also deliberately asked Baili Wenfeng very cooperatively: "Then can I open my eyes now?" ”
Baili didn't think there was anything wrong with the wind, and he said in a calm voice: "It's okay." ”
Wanyan Aruo shook his head with a smile in his heart, and opened his eyes "obediently".
Then I saw the child's face.
Wanyan Aruo couldn't help but touch Baili Wenfeng's head, and said with a smile: "Brother is really amazing." ”
However, the tone of those words was not at all like Baili's appearance of being very powerful.
The forehead of Baili Wenfeng couldn't help but cross three black lines.
…………
At the beginning, Wanyan Aruo didn't even have a meal to eat, so he went to Albu Valley, and now when he comes back, Wanyan Aruo cleans his wounds and eats as well.
On the way back, he originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Baili Xingchuan and the Hu family.
But when he returned home, Wanyan Aruo saw Baili Xingchuan and Baili Wenfeng, and immediately felt that he was blinded by pork, so he asked Xingchuan such a sad question.
Ask Xingchuan, he might as well go to the prison and ask Zhao Duan.
So, Wanyan Aruo, who had made up his mind, went out on the grounds of handling official business after eating.
Because Wanyan Aruo felt that he was testing Zhao Duan like this behind his back, he actually didn't trust Xingchuan so much.
Therefore, he went out until he went to the prison, met Zhao Duan, and talked with Zhao Duan for a long time, until he determined that this Zhao Duan was Zhao Duan, the prefect of Pingzhou, and he was not ......
During this whole process, he was very weak-minded.
Because he was very weak-hearted, he waited until he went to bed at night, and then he remembered:
I forgot to go to the doctor to see the wound......
Forehead......
However, it looks like a wound on the forehead, and it doesn't hurt much?
Wanyan Aruo felt strange in his heart.
But thinking about tomorrow, there is still a big thing to do in the court, and tomorrow he will see the noble lord of the Yihe family......
Wanyan Aruo didn't have too much thought to think about the problem of his wounds.
It doesn't hurt left and right, so Wanyan Aruo didn't care much about it.
…………
On the second day, hundreds of officials went to court.
After going to Pingzhou for more than a month, Lord Wanyan Aruo returned to Beijing and escorted back to Zhao Duan, the prefect of Pingzhou.
Regarding Zhao Gambling, in fact, the ministers of the court and the central government almost knew what was going on in their hearts.
It is also clear that Wanyan Aruo brought back Zhao Duan, then, it is estimated that soon, Pingzhou will be their Yihe family.
…… It's just that no one cares.
Who's going to care?
It's just a pure clan official.
Zhao Duan was brought into the main hall, and the emperor looked at Zhao Duan kneeling in the main hall and asked, "Criminal Minister Zhao Duan, do you have anything to say?" ”
Although Zhao Duan was kneeling, his back was straight.
He said aloud: "Since the beginning of his official career, he has been diligent and fair, dedicated to the people, and in the past 30 years, the people of Pingzhou have lived a prosperous and healthy life, especially the emperor's grace.
The murder of the son of the nobleman happened suddenly, please give your majesty and the ministers time, and the ministers will definitely find out.
Do not teach any unjust soul to die in vain. ”
As soon as Zhao gambled and finished speaking, before the emperor could speak, a minister stood up.
He snorted at Zhao Duan, undisguised his disdain, and then said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao's words are good.
However, the official wants to ask Lord Zhao, what Lord Zhao said:
For what kind of people is this heart for the people?
For the sake of the people who are the children of the pure tribe with you, or for the people of the nomadic children like us?
Why is it that you pure children are living in abundance and health, while we nomadic children have been brutally killed, and now we can't even find the murderer?
Lord Zhao, haven't you forgotten who you are?
You have turned a blind eye to the tragic death of our nomadic children.
For the children of your pure race, they take care of them in every way.
Are you disloyal to the court, to Your Majesty! ”
The official who spoke was one of the families involved behind the six noble sons who died.
He was already extremely disgusted with pure people.
Now, the generation of their family has died in Linyao City again.
Although those nomadic nobles who went to Linyao City, in fact, they were the last in the family.
But even the last rank, in the heart of this official, is much higher than the rest of the pure people, I don't know how many times.
Now that his family has died in Linyao City, then, in the eyes of this official, this Zhao Duan is a sinner!
- He's damned!
In the face of this official's aggressiveness, Zhao Duan explained unhurriedly: "My lord misunderstood, this time, there was a murderous demon in Linyao City, Xu was one, and it could be some.
These people secretly killed more than 20 beggar boys and six noble children in Linyao City, so it was not only Xungui's children who died. ”
"You ......," the official froze.
He almost blurted out:
A beggar boy?
What's that?
Ordinary pariahs, even if they die a hundred, they are not as valuable as their noble children.
Zhao Duan, a slut, actually compared the beggar boy with the generation of their family?
…………
But it's one thing to be angry in the heart.
Now he is in the court as Zheng
In front of the emperor, in this case, he naturally would not be able to come out.
That's another story.
Therefore, this official, even if he is angry in his heart, he has to hold this anger in his heart.
The official was silent, but another official stood up, and he first saluted the emperor before he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
This official was much more polite than the previous one.
When the emperor saw it, he was also very happy in his heart, and said kindly to the official: "Aiqing, please speak." ”
As for the previous official who was so angry with Zhao Duan that he was depressed in his heart......
Hum! The emperor won't care about him.
Before speaking, he would not ask him for advice as the emperor, this official obviously did not take himself as the emperor in his eyes!
It's all to blame on the people of the Tiemu family, so that now there are more and more officials in the court who don't take themselves as the emperor in their eyes.
What does such an official do to him?
Let him be killed by popularity!
The second official who spoke got the emperor's permission, and then said to Zhao Du: "Lord Zhao, you have just arrived, there have been many cases of juvenile murder in Linyao City.
So, may I ask, what did Lord Zhao do for this? ”
This is an official arranged by the Yihe family.
What they impeached was Zhao Duan's inaction as an official.
The deaths of those beggar boys in Pingzhou before were inconspicuous, and presumably Zhao Duan didn't find anything.
The sons and daughters of the nobles who died later were done by the people of the Qin family.
The Qin family moved quickly and acted in concealment, and when they thought about it, they didn't leave any clues.
Therefore, the pot of inaction, he Zhao Duan has to be properly determined.
Zhao Duan was silent for a while.
The officials in the court all thought that Zhao Duan was speechless.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Zhao Duan opened his mouth.
He said with some caution: "The lower officials only know that the murder of the beggar boy began three years ago. ”
"What?"
The official who asked Zhao Duan was taken aback.
Other officials in the DPRK and China were also taken aback.
Also surprised was the emperor.
But he was a beat slower than anyone else.
Hearing that someone in the court exclaimed, "what", the emperor reacted, and it seemed that something terrible had happened to Zhao Duan just now.
He slightly recalled what Zhao Duan had just said.
At this recollection, the emperor was a little surprised along with the ministers of the court......
The official who asked Zhao Duan was quite stable, and he always remembered that his mission was to press Zhao's head and let him wear the hat of "inaction".
Therefore, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and said to Zhao Du: "Since three years ago, there was such a bad case in Pingzhou.
Then why did you not do anything to stop the murderer from continuing to commit murder in the past three years, but instead let the murderer get away with it and increase his evil courage, so that now, it has caused a catastrophe and affected several noble sons in Linyao City? ”
After speaking, the official glanced at the official who had asked Zhao Duan before him.
Sure enough, I saw that the official's face was even more angry.
He looked at Zhao Gamble with a look in his eyes, and even brought some kind of hatred
So, this official with his own mission said in a timely manner: "Alas, if Lord Zhao catches the murderer as soon as possible, maybe, those noble sons in Linyao City will not be killed......"
Before the official's words were finished, the official who hated Zhao gambling very much seemed to be full of some kind of thunderous anger in his tone, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhao Duan has no talent, no virtue and no ability, why should he think about the people?"
If he really thought about the people, he would have caught the vicious murderer a long time ago.
Now that he is above the main hall, he dares to talk nonsense and lie all over it, which is simply disrespectful to His Majesty!
Please also ask Your Majesty to call the shots, pull Zhao Duan out of the noon gate immediately, and execute him! ”
When this official spoke, he was also very angry in his heart.
When he spoke, he used a lot of strength.
The official standing in front of him inexplicably felt as if something was spewing water behind him......
This official, in his heart, felt so wronged......
…… The emperor also felt so aggrieved in his heart-
- You, an official, just talk about it, make such a momentum, and face him again, as if this official is scolding him as an emperor.
Moreover, he talked all this time, as if he was supporting him, the emperor......
In the emperor's heart, it was even more unpleasant.
You must know that even if they are the people of the Tiemu family who are provocative, they have never supported the emperor to do things.
They will only smile and euphemistically indicate how the emperor should choose, and at the same time, they will also clearly put the consequences of various choices in front of the emperor.
The emperor is not a fool, he naturally will not do things that are bad for himself.
So you can only choose those decisions that will save face, but will not cause a catastrophe.
…… Alas, it's all because he didn't know people well at the time and mistrusted traitors.
As a result, the wrong thing was done by the traitorous minister, but he wanted to lose face as the emperor.
It simply made the emperor panic in his heart.
I hate the Tiemu family even more for not knowing the current affairs-
- I don't know how to cover up for him, the emperor.
He, the emperor, has no face, and they, the courtiers, have a light on their faces?
Is...... Stupid!
The emperor had emotions in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the angry official, but looked at Zhao Duan and asked, "Zhao Duan, what else do you want?" ”
- If Zhao Duan has nothing to say, then he will simply drag this Zhao Duan out and behead him, lest someone always come into the palace to annoy him, so that his ears will not be clean.
- And if this Zhao Duan can say anything, it will naturally be able to make the short-sighted official feel uncomfortable.
As a result, as soon as the emperor's voice fell, Zhao Duan did not speak, but the third official in the court did.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
As soon as he heard this voice, the emperor's heart suddenly jumped high.
Without him, this man is the son-in-law of the Tiemu family.
- The people of the Tiemu family have been silent for more than three months, at this time, what are they doing to join in the fun?
However, everyone has spoken, and it is impossible for the emperor not to let people talk, right?
Therefore, the emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't look at the people of the Tiemu family, and said, "Aiqing has something to say." ”
So, this person turned to look at Wanyan Aruo and said, "This official wants to ask Wanyan two questions." ”
Wanyan Aruo was a little strange:
The people of the Temu family, you want to ask him a question?
What questions does he know that can solve the doubts of the people of the Tiemu family......
However, since his name was called, Wanyan Aruo also stood up from the ranks, saluted the emperor, and then saluted the people of the Tiemu family, and said, "My lord, may I ask." ”
The beginning of the crossing is surrounded by four walls
