Chapter 198: Traitor
"Your Majesty, the ministers are not here for the affairs of the palace, but for other things!" Lei Xiao'er said lightly.
Hearing this, Fu Sheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned. And the ministers who followed Lei Qiao'er in and were ready to admonish together were all puzzled in their hearts, if it wasn't for this matter, then why did everyone run in?
"Oh, in that case, if the prime minister has anything to do, please tell me about it!" Since it's not for this, it's naturally excellent. Fu Sheng was in a much better mood, nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, the frequent movement of the Zhonghua Mountain Army in Guan a month ago has increased the pressure on our army. Although the main general in the direction of Longguan has been replaced, Li Xin's heart is not dead, and he is always thinking about completely eliminating us. This year, a locust plague fell from the sky, and the people in the territory were struggling to make a living, and many people had no food and clothing, and they were simply starving all over the wilderness. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to open a warehouse and release grain to help the victims! Lei Qiao'er arched his hand and said slowly.
"I already know about the locust plague! However, the prime minister said that the people are not living well and are starving, which is too exaggerated, right? Since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard every day on political affairs, diligent and thrifty, and I dare not have the slightest laziness! If this happens, it will be because you courtiers are not doing our job well, so that the disaster is serious! Fu Sheng listened, groaned for a while, and then said.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, no one thought that Fu Sheng was so shameless, or that he felt too good about himself. He said that he was a generation of virtuous monarchs, but instead he put all the faults on the ministers.
What kind of man he is, everyone knows very well, he likes to kill and drink, and listens to slander. It's only been a year since he ascended the throne, and he has already died a few important ministers, and I'm afraid he doesn't know what kind of life the people are living under his rule.
If such a monarch can be called virtuous, it is really the biggest joke in the world.
"Your Majesty, you don't want to argue with Your Majesty about who is right and who is wrong, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go around and see what the situation of the people outside is! After the locust plague, the people relied on government relief to survive. Only by relying on the government's disaster relief and sustaining it until after the grain harvest can it support the whole year! Otherwise, the people will have no food or clothing, and there will be chaos! Lei Wan'er, who already had a straight face, after hearing this at this time, his face darkened a little, and he said in a deep voice.
"Well, since it's the prime minister's discussion, let's do it accordingly!" After thinking about it for a while, Fu Sheng felt that this matter was still quite important, after all, it might endanger his rule! So, I said yes directly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not possible, now the army on the Eastern Front is resisting the pressure of the Huashan anti-thieves, and most of the grain has been allocated as military food and transported to various parts of the front line. If the warehouse is opened for disaster relief, the military rations will be exhausted, and what will the front-line army eat at that time? If the army has no food, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate, and there is no need to wait for the Huashan thieves to come over, I am afraid that it will be directly chaotic! Fu Sheng just agreed, and Zhao Shao on the side saw this and immediately stood up against it.
Although there is some truth in what he said, he did not stand up against it for the sake of the front-line army, but purely because this matter was mentioned by Lei Qiao'er. In his opinion, as long as it is said by his enemies, he must oppose it to the end.
"What Lord Zhao said is that the front-line army is unstable and it is very easy for Huashan thieves to take advantage of it. Once the other party calls, the situation is critical! This locust plague is only more than a month, where will there be such serious consequences, the prime minister must be deceiving the king when he says this! Dong Rong immediately understood his thoughts, so after Zhao Shao finished speaking, he directly stood up to support!
"Well, what you two say makes sense. Huashan anti-thieves are a big trouble, if the front-line military food is insufficient, there will be disaster! No open positions, no open positions! Fu Sheng, who had already agreed, couldn't help but think for a while when he heard this, and finally shook his head and vetoed.
Lei Xiao'er at the bottom had just relaxed in his heart, but when he saw this scene at this moment, and after listening to Dong Rong's words, he suddenly became angry.
"Traitors and thieves, shameless! How dare you speak cleverly here! The people of the territory are now living in dire straits, because you traitors have deceived the Holy Hearing and bewitched Your Majesty! The old man should punish you and other traitors for the people of the world! Lei Wan'er's temper has always been hot, and he couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, glaring at Dong Rong and the others, and wanted to rush over and pull them out.
"The prime minister is angry, the prime minister is angry, be careful of the loss of honor in front of the king!" Behind him, Liang An and Liang Leng and other ministers, although they were also angry in their hearts, they still knew that the occasion was wrong. Therefore, seeing that Lei Wan'er seemed to be about to make a move, he hurriedly stopped him.
"Presumptuous, what does the prime minister think this place is? How dare you mess around like this? Do I really dare not punish him? "I'm so angry! He stood up and scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister is arrogant and rude, and he dares to use force in front of the king, and he clearly does not put His Majesty in his eyes. If Your Majesty does not punish him severely today, I am afraid that no one will respect Your Majesty in the future, and everyone will dare to offend Your Majesty's majesty! Dong Rong and the others were also taken aback, this Lei Weak is a military general, don't look at his age now, if he really wants to fight, they are not opponents together! Therefore, after panicking in his heart for a while, he immediately knelt down in front of Fu Sheng and called out for resignation.
For those of them who have been fortunate enough to advance by flattery, it is all too clear when they will say what they say. As soon as Dong Rong said this, Zhao Shao next to him immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are just doing their duty as ministers and want to admonish, so the prime minister threatens like this. The ministers are doing things for His Majesty, if the palace is built in the future against the will of the prime minister, won't the prime minister directly take our lives? I really don't know if I should listen to His Majesty's orders or let the prime minister be the master in the future! ”
"Bastard, shameless! The old man hates to eat the meat of your generation raw......! When Lei Wan'er heard the words of the two, he only felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, so he had to scold angrily!
"Don't be impatient, don't fall for the villain's tricks!" Zhao Juliangan and the others next to him hurriedly persuaded in a low voice.
At this time, Dong Rong and Zhao Shao were looking at Lei Xiao'er with a sneer, as if they were laughing at him.
The other ministers all glared at these two people angrily, and they all understood that what these two guys just said could be described as a word of punishment! Its purpose was obviously to provoke Fu Sheng and put Lei Xiao'er to death completely. However, with Lei Weak's temper, it is impossible to compromise at all.
"Enough! Don't say anything more, otherwise, you won't blame me for not remembering the old love! Get out of here! Fu Sheng waved his sleeves, didn't look at them, and went straight to the back of the hall.
"Your Majesty, if you don't stay away from the villain, and reuse the words of the virtuous minister, the country will perish!" Seeing this, Lei Qiao'er couldn't help but be sad and indignant.
Dong Rong and Zhao Shao couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that Fu Sheng didn't kill Lei Wan'er on the spot. Seeing that all the ministers were glaring at him, he was a little scared in his heart, and hurriedly ran towards the place where Fu Sheng was.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has such a temperament, it's useless to say anything, let's go back and think about it in the long run!" Taifu Maogui sighed and said.
"Yes! Your Majesty is like this, so helpless! The other ministers were helpless.
Lei Qiao'er's face was ugly at this time, and the whole person looked a little discouraged. Under the persuasion of the people, he walked towards the outside of the temple. The group talked as they walked, basically shaking their heads and sighing.
"Your Majesty pampered the ministers, closed his eyes and listened, and acted willfully! If this continues, the little inheritance that he has retained with great difficulty will inevitably be lost by him! What kind of face will the old man have to meet the first emperor in the future! Lei Qiao'er looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Don't worry, take care of your body!" Everyone watched and persuaded one after another.
"The old man really regrets it, you said, did you choose the wrong one in the first place!" Lei Wan'er was stunned for a while, and suddenly glanced at everyone around him, and said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ministers didn't understand at first, but they reacted immediately. Obviously, he was talking about the election of Fu Sheng to take over the throne, and now, he regrets it a little. After all, he was the one who made the final decision!
"Prime Minister is cautious, this word can come out of your mouth and into my ears, it will be treated as a joke, and I will not mention it again!" The left servant shot Liang An in shock, and hurriedly whispered.
Everyone around them was shocked, and they all turned their heads to look around, as if they had heard nothing.
"Alas!" Seeing this, Lei Wan'er shook his head and walked in the direction of the mansion.
At this time, behind the main hall, where Fu Sheng usually lived, Dong Rong and the others had not yet left. They knew that they had a mortal enmity with Lei Wan'er, and if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat him, they would probably not be so easy to find such a good opportunity in the future.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" Several people accompanied Fu Sheng to drink in the garden, and after drinking a few glasses, Dong Rong spoke.
"Say!" Fu Sheng didn't look at him, he only cared about his own cow drink.
"I heard that the prime minister has been in frequent correspondence with Zhang Zuo in Liangzhou recently, and his friendship is increasing day by day! Moreover, the prime minister seems to be planning to return Wang Zhen and others who have surrendered to the imperial court and all the places in those counties to Zhang Zuo, so as to win the favor of the other party! ”
"Is there such a thing? The prime minister mentioned this matter to me, but he said that this was to make friends with Liangzhou and avoid us from being attacked on both sides! When Fu Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but put down the wine bowl, looked at the two of them, and said.
"The minister also heard that the prime minister was ostensibly thinking about the court, but in fact it was for his own selfishness. The prime minister is afraid that after the Huashan army comes over in the future, the court will not be able to resist it, so he is ready to use the interests of the court to prepare a back road for himself! Seeing this, Zhao Shao immediately replied. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
