Chapter 95: The Emperor's Wrath (2)
"Your Majesty is angry." Hai Zhong knelt down and kowtowed incessantly and said, "It's the old slave's dereliction of duty, Your Majesty is angry." ”
"Then don't hurry up and find out." Guo Chun picked up a book and threw it on Hai Zhong, and said angrily.
Hai Zhong fled from the imperial study as fast as he could, and when he left the imperial study, Hai Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and touched his forehead, his hands were covered with blood; These heads, Haizhong is really kowtowing and bleeding.
Just as Haizhong was about to leave, he heard the emperor's angry voice coming from the imperial study again: "Someone has come to pass it, the left prime minister Wen Yitao, and the right prime minister Zhao Shi came to see me." ”
British Mansion.
Zuo Prime Minister Wen Yitao has just returned to the palace, as Zuo Prime Minister is the head of a hundred officials, and he is also one of the most trusted ministers of the current emperor Guo Chun; In this world full of gate valves, from a poor child to today, the British Prime Minister Wen Yitao can be said to have created a miracle and is also a model for the children of the poor in the world.
As soon as he returned home, Wen Yitao's butt was not yet hot, and he saw the housekeeper hurriedly walking towards him.
"Why are you so impatient?" Wen Yitao asked.
"My lord, the messenger (note 1) has arrived; And there was a man here, still on horseback, who seemed to be in a hurry. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and follow the old man to receive the holy decree." Wen Yitao exclaimed.
Wen Yitao just came out of the lobby, just happened to meet the messenger who came to deliver the decree, after seeing Wen Yitao, the messenger said: "Your Majesty's dictation, Xuanzuo Prime Minister Wen Yitao will meet immediately." ”
"Chen Wen Yitao commands, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Prime Minister, hurry up! Your Majesty is still waiting for you! The messenger helped Wen Yitao up and said.
"The old man asked, why did Your Majesty summon this official in such a hurry, but what happened to him?" Wen Yitao asked the messenger.
"I don't know much about this humble position, and it is said to be related to His Royal Highness King Yong."
"Thank you." Wen Yitao said: "Housekeeper, take it down and treat it to a good life." ”
"Thank you, sir." The herald thanked him.
Of course, he was entertained by the housekeeper, and when he left the British Mansion, he had a bulging money bag on his waist, or a hundred and ten taels.
When Wen Yitao came to the gate of the palace in a carriage, he happened to meet Zhao She, the right prime minister of An Guogong, who came on horseback, and the two looked at each other and smiled and walked towards the palace from the side door.
"Lord Zhao, do you know, what is the reason why His Majesty summoned us to the palace like this?" Wen Yitao asked Zhao She.
"Lord Zhao knows in his heart, why do you still ask the old man!" Zhao Shi said with a smile.
"You old fox!" Wen Yitao said with a smile: "I heard that our little highness has not been a little tossed, and the surplus grain in Jingzhao Mansion has been bought out by him." ”
……
"Your Majesty, the Duke of England and the Duke of Anguo ask to see me."
"Let them in." Guo Chunyan said.
"Weichen Wen Yitao (Weichen Zhao She) See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The two of them bowed and bowed.
"Two Aiqing are exempt!" Guo Chun said weakly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Guo Chun looked at the two of them and said, "I want to ask the two Aiqing, if I am old!" ”
"Your Majesty, why do you say this, Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period......" Wen Yitao immediately patted his ass.
"Then you still dare to deceive me and disobey my yang." Guo Chun was suddenly furious and smashed the piece presented by Guo Qi towards Wen Yitao; "Take a good look for yourself, why don't you report such a big matter to me in time."
Wen Yitao picked up the piece and glanced at it, knelt on the ground and said, "It's the dereliction of duty of the old minister, please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Zhao Qing, this military department is under your control!"
"The old minister is derelict in his duties, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." Zhao Shi also knelt down and said.
"Humph! Get up! Guo Chunyan said: "For the sake of your two people's past exploits, this time you will only be punished for one year, if something similar happens, the two of you will not be the prime minister." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What do you two think about this?"
……
Regarding the disappearance of the two prime ministers, although the emperor was high and low to the two prime ministers, Guo Chun had no intention of passing it over with the officials below; Early the next morning, the forbidden army was dispatched, and all the officials and officials who were involved in the transmission of the folds were arrested, and the four divisions were interrogated by the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, the Dali Temple, and the Yushitai.
The whole interrogation process was also surprisingly fast, and the case was concluded in four days, among which more than 30 officials, large and small, were involved, all of whom were beheaded by the emperor without exception, and their families were also sent to the army; But that's just the surface.
Taimiao Hall.
Emperor Guo Chun knelt in front of the portraits of the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty, and there was only Guo Chun in the entire hall, which was very quiet.
"Squeak! Click, click, click......"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei are asking to see you outside the palace." A little eunuch walked to Guo Chun's side, knelt down and spoke.
Guo Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and said, "Let them in!" ”
"No!"
After the crown prince Guo Zhan and the king of Wei Guo Jia entered the main hall, after bowing three times and nine times to the emperors of the Great Qi dynasties, they knelt down and saluted Guo Chun and said: "Sons and ministers bow to their father, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"All to their fathers and fathers, and kneel." Guo Chun glared at the two of them.
The two knelt in front of the emperors of the Great Qi dynasties, and did not dare to make any movement.
"Do you know what's wrong?" After a long time, Guo Chun asked the two.
"I don't know what wrong I have done." Guo Jia, the king of Wei, spoke first.
"I don't know." Crown Prince Guo Zhan also said.
Hearing the answer of the two, Guo Chun rose to heaven in anger, picked up a red wooden stick enshrined in front of the offering table, and slammed it towards the back of the two; "Smack! Syllable! ”
"I let you not know, I let you not know." Guo Chun shouted while fighting; "Will this be known? Do you really think I'm a fool to hide from me what you've done, why did I close the case so quickly? Because if you look into it any longer, you'll find out about you two rebels. ”
The more Guo Chun spoke, the more angry he became, and he hit the backs of the two of them a few times, although there were not a few hits in total, but now the backs of these two highnesses have been beaten open.
"Ahh Yes! Ah......h
"In the past, how did the two of you fight for power and profit, how did you mess around; I could have thought I couldn't see it, but this time you two went too far. Guo Chun glared at the two of them angrily: "Do you know what serious consequences this matter will have, if it weren't for Qi'er asking Liu Qian to send the chapter to me, I'm afraid that the entire Guanzhong will be lost in the spring next year, do you know?" How do you let me go down and face the ancestors and ancestors......"
"Father, this matter is really not done by his sons." Guo Jia, the king of Wei, wept bitterly.
"Shut up." Guo Chun said angrily: "It's all at this time, and it's still quibbling; Do you know why I brought you here, and if this matter is dealt with by the country, do you think you can still kneel here?
I will deal with you today in the family law, and you two will kneel here for three days, and then each will go back and be grounded for a month to see the aftermath; If you do it again, don't blame me for not talking about the relationship between father and son. ”
Messenger: A person who is specially responsible for conveying and summoning the emperor to meet in Beijing, and the personnel are selected from the forbidden army, not eunuchs.
