Chapter 383: The Difficult Sutra (Part 10)
On the fifth day of the second month of the second year of longevity, the Empress Wu came to the court. pineapple
Deng Huaiyu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, reported the list of vassal countries that will come to congratulate on the first day of next year, because the Great Zhou Eastern Expedition was defeated first and then won, cut off the Khitan upper power, the prestige was greatly inspired, the list was long, even the Gelulu in the far north, the small tribal countries west of the Green Ridge, all came to the court, the major vassals, but also a henchman who did not fall, the henchmen of the Empress Wu, the Tubo Great Minister, the Qinling and the Later Turkic Mosi Khan, both of them, had to come to kneel to the female emperor of the Great Zhou.
Empress Wu was in a good mood, and a strange smile slipped on her face, "Zongzheng Temple has issued an order, and the Wu clan and the Li clan are in foreign clans, and the princes and their families will return to Beijing together to worship their ancestors and enjoy their families."
"The minister's order" Zongzheng Temple Qing Zhao Xiang came out to receive the order.
Chaozhong Wu Sansi and Li Qiao and others just frowned, but Doulu Qinwang and others changed their faces greatly, as if they were facing a great enemy, and the prince of the clan entered Beijing, didn't he say that the king of Luling would also come to Beijing?
After that, the spring official Shangshu Yan Shansi played the preparations for the spring, but it was all flat and stable, everything was ready, just wait for the spring next year, the Quartet raised the son to come to the Shendu, and the martial queen designated the chief examiner, you can pay tribute, when it comes to the number of lifters, Yan Shansi added caution, "After repeated verification and statistics, today's Kegong test lifter, including the national son of the prison Zhusheng, there are 1,542 people, lifting posts, with Henan Province and Guannei Road as the most prosperous"
Empress Wu sighed lightly, noncommittal, but did not make him retreat, picked up the emerald green Ruyi on the imperial case, held it in his hand, and asked, "I will discuss the matter of the children of King Luling and King Yu about the knighthood of King Luling and King Yu with Zongzheng Temple, can I have eyebrows?" ”
Yan Shansi shook his official robe, shook off the eyes of the ministers of the court and the central government of different colors, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the minister and Zhao Siqing have discussed, because there are frequent discussions in the court, so the case has not been decided, and the minister secretly thinks that Li Jing, the eldest son of King Yu, acts steadily, has a noble status, and has a mellow character, so he can be knighted first."
Empress Wu turned her head to look at Zhao Xiang again, Zhao Xiang glanced at him, "The minister thinks that His Majesty's order is to knight the heirs of the two royal palaces, seal one first, and put the other on hold, it seems that there is a suspicion of overkill, and the minister does not dare to agree."
Empress Wu's brows jumped, she turned her eyes away, no longer looked at him, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
Doulu Qinwang hurriedly threw his flattering eyes, and many courtiers immediately jumped out, "The ministers seconded Zhao Siqing, and knighted him with his relatives, although it is purely about blood, but if there is a dispute over guilt and responsibility, and the tongue is mixed, I am afraid it is not appropriate, when the facts are clarified, and the truth is returned, it is not too late to reward again."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that knighthood and fault should not be confused" Wei Wen struggled to find a gap, made his voice heard, and also said with tears because of his sadness, "And the fault of Prince Luling's heir is just a child's willfulness, and your colleagues are also parents, have the children in the family ever been naughty and troublesome?" Why is it so online and crusade with great fanfare? Is it really for the reputation of the imperial court, or is there another plan, not to teach, and to maliciously divide the family affection of the heavenly family? ”
This contrived made many people in the court feel sympathy, but the court is not a place that can be reached only by human nature, and after being moved, he turned his head and refused to support it.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, the knighthood is the kindness of the heavenly family, the royal children are a little slight, and they have their own Zongzheng Temple teachings, why are the ministers endless, where is the intention?"
A thunderclap on the ground.
It's not just that someone seconded Wei Wen's surprise, but even more amazing, it was the person who agreed, Lintai Supervisor Sect Qin Ke.
Empress Wu's inquiring eyes swept to Wu Sansi, the head of the prime minister's class, only to see that his face was like a flat lake, kneeling and sitting upright, he made this decision, it was measured, since Liu Sili's case, Fangzhou Wei has been showing favor to him, but now is an opportunity, not only to respond to Fangzhou, but also to suppress the arrogance of the Lintoe Palace, more importantly, he is good at figuring out people's hearts, His Majesty the Emperor on the throne, obviously entered the theater mode, he suddenly appeared on stage to perform, should be able to win a lot of fun.
A large number of courtiers who "seconded the proposal" flocked out.
Empress Wu smiled interestingly, her slender and white fingers wiped over Ruyi, her tentacles were warm and cool, very comfortable, and her eyes roamed in the hall, "Do you still have a discussion?" ”
There is indeed a line of sight coming and going in the main hall, Doulu Qinwang has been staring at Zhang Cambodia, the person of the Fengge House, and Guanglu Shaoqing Huan Yanfan, these two people are Li Jing's people, if the threat works, they should have a voice, but unfortunately these two people are watching the nose and nose, no one pays attention to his sight, and there is no intention of moving.
The Empress Wu was patient and quietly looked down at the main hall.
Zhang Cambodia and Huan Yanfan were steady, obviously not hesitating, but having made up their minds, refusing to cooperate with the Lintoe Palace, Dou Lu Qinwang's eyes flashed with a cold light, he lowered his head, and brushed his sleeves with his right hand.
A light brown official robe jumped out of the back row, came to the center of the main hall, and knocked his head down, and his voice was like a bell, "Your Majesty, Chen Ziang, who is on the right side of the minister's platform, risked his life to impeach the king of Luling, is far away in the domain, does not observe the courtier's festival, sends private people, sneaks into Gyeonggi, and plots against him"
A word landed, and the hall was silent.
Empress Wu stared at Chen Ziang below, this person is talented, she can be regarded as promoted, but she is too broad-minded, saying that whoever his party is attached to, Empress Wu herself does not believe it, and it is more likely that he was deceived by others, and he was tricked and used as cannon fodder for this thunderstorm.
"Well, since you impeached this matter, do you have any evidence?"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know the details, only vaguely heard that there were bandits in Dongcheng the night before and went to the North Gate Mountain, Luoyang Yin is a pro-people official in this place, when there is a clue" Chen Ziang's face did not change his face and used the magic of the wedding dress, and dragged Luoyang Yin Wanglu into the water.
Wang Lu came out of the queue with a cold face and glanced at Chen Ziang, "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed aware that there are thieves fighting in Dongcheng, and several people are coerced to go to the mountains.
"Don't miss it, just now" Empress Wu and Xie Yaohuan glanced at each other, she also got a report that there was an abnormality in Dongcheng, but it should have been here, "Yang Siqiao, you lead Qianniu and Wang Lu to Bishan immediately, and quickly find out the suspects, I want to see who is making waves there"
"Decree of the Minister"
"Old Slave Commandment"
The two hurried away, and the hall fell into an eerie tranquility, and the Empress Wu asked leisurely, "Du Qing, I heard that you will be a supervisor all day long with thunder and lightning, disturbing many people, what are you doing?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are short-sighted, they have always been assisted by the fireworks army, and now the champion Hou is mainly based on the fireworks army, using his magic skills, attacking the city and rising to the ground, invincible, the minister and Mingtang Captain Wu Chongmin work together to try to develop a new ......" Du Xianyan talked eloquently, halfway through the words, the martial queen interrupted him, "Du Qing is old, I am convinced, but I will be the supervisor and the weapons supervisor, from now on, you are also in charge of the weapons supervisor, the fireworks army should be moved to the weapons supervisor, must be strictly guarded, keep secrets, and do not slack off"
"The minister's order" Du Xianyan should be ordered to retreat.
After this delay, hurried footsteps sounded outside the main hall, and Yang Siqiao and Wang Lu went and returned, "Your Majesty, more than a dozen people were found in the grass house of the people guarding the tomb of Bishan, some dead and some injured."
"Well, have you ever interrogated?" Empress Wu became interested.
"No" Wang Lu hesitated and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Luoyang Yin for slacking off on official duties and blinding Sheng Cong" A nest of courtiers were looking forward to it, and when they heard Wang Lu say no, they suddenly wanted to be dissatisfied.
Doulu Qinwang also came forward with a gloomy face, but he made a cameo appearance in the duty of serving the imperial history in the palace, "The court is important, all colleagues are quiet, I think that Luoyang Yin must have the following"
Wang Lu bowed his head slightly to Doulu Qinwang and expressed his respect, "Your Majesty, there is no need to interrogate, thirteen people, six people died, seven people were injured, one of the dead was a gentry of the Shendu Dynasty, and the other twelve people were all nameless black households, judging by their appearance, they were all outlaws......
Before the words fell, Dou Luqin looked at the ground with his face on the ground, and slapped his five bodies on the ground, fortunately, the blanket in the hall was thick enough, otherwise, he would have to break his head and bleed.
"Hold Dou Luqing's family down, and the medical bureau will heal the good students" Empress Wu waved her hand indifferently, just looking at this appearance, she knew that the Lintoe Hall was jumping happily, and the carefully prepared trump card was destroyed.
This big drama is getting more and more exciting.
