Chapter 90: The court is evil
This imperial historian looked at Zhou Zheng, becoming more and more irritable, and quickly found an excuse to stop Zhou Zheng outside the Imperial Palace.
"What do you have to say?"
Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli stood behind Zhou Zheng and said in unison. Zhou Zheng is now their ally, and their attitude is very clear.
This imperial historian stared at Zhou Zheng's up and down, and was just about to speak, when a person in front of him suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't chat, hurry up and enter the class." ”
Zhou Zheng took a deep look at this imperial history in the dark, turned around and walked forward, and said in a low voice: "Go." ”
Tian Zhenshu, Zheng Shouli and Zhou Zheng had almost the same movements, turned around and walked forward quickly.
This Li Hengbing arranged the imperial history wanted to say something more, but he knew that he had missed the opportunity, if he made excuses now, I was afraid that the adults in front of him would have to turn back and make decisions for him, and he couldn't help it.
Seeing Zhou Zheng go up the steps, this imperial historian had a headache, so he could only sigh and say to himself: "I hope it won't hurt Brother Li's affairs." ”
Entering the Imperial Palace, the team has been divided into two rows, Zhou Zheng followed Hu Qingzheng, standing behind Li Hengbing, this is the farthest and most remote corner of the dragon chair.
There was no sound in the main hall, and as the sky grew brighter, the faces in the hall could gradually be seen clearly.
Zhou Zheng stood still, looking back and forth, left and right, calculating their identities, names, and remembering their looks according to their location.
The hall was silent, no one spoke, not even moved, and the silence of the needle could be heard.
I don't know how long it took, but a sharp long cry sounded from the side door: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
Then, Apocalypse, dressed in a dragon suit and looking very young, strode in through the side door and walked straight to the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
The ministers turned around, raised their hands and bowed in worship.
Zhou Zheng was not qualified to take the banwat and raised his hand to follow.
"Zhongqing is flat."
Apocalypse's voice was crisp and neat, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up.
An inner supervisor stepped forward and shouted, "Perform! ”
As soon as the inner supervisor finished speaking, someone in front of him came out and said in a deep voice: "The squire of the Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers ......"
Zhou Zheng stood behind, listening very clearly, looking at His Majesty.
Tianqi was only twenty-six years old, not very tall, sitting on the dragon chair, looking directly at the top of the main hall, unable to see clearly, but probably dissatisfied.
Since last year, the civil unrest in Shaanxi has become more and more sparkling, although there are good news in various places, but the beacon fire is everywhere, so that the imperial court is a little helpless, can not deal with it, and has to pay attention.
But soon some people stood up one after another and refuted one after another, and the most important issue was: money and food.
It didn't take long for the court to gradually become fiercely arguing, and the questions were all kinds of questions.
Tianqi looked impatient, turned to the first assistant Huang Liji at the front, and said, "Huang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Huang Liji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household for discussion, and then submitted. ”
Tianqi paused for a moment, nodded, and said, "According to Huang Aiqing's opinion." ”
There was a buzz in the hall for a while, and then it calmed down.
Immediately, a person came out of the ranks, raised his hand and said: "Guo Yunhou, the servant of the Ministry of Households, has started to play, this year's treasury will be used to withdraw customs duties, salt taxes, and tea taxes for the next three years, and the treasury is empty, and there is no silver available, and next year's officials will have money and food for disaster relief, especially the military salary in Liaodong is as high as 1.2 million, and the household department is no longer able to pay ......."
After Guo Yunhou finished speaking, there was a buzz in the court. They are all talking about the excessive use of silver in Liaodong, and now that Liaodong is stabilizing, they want to reduce Liaodong's silver.
Zhou Zheng saw Li Hengbing's shoulder in front of him move, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said secretly, "It's here." ’
Sure enough, not long after Guo Yunhou's voice fell, a person stood up opposite Zhou Zheng and said in a deep voice: "The minister's criminal department gave Han Dacai a kick-off in the matter, and the minister of the king of Liaodong Jinglu is stupid and incompetent, useless in war, harmful to the people, repeatedly made mistakes, and caused great harm, so please arrest and return to Beijing to punish the crime." ”
"The squire of the Ministry of Punishment Fang magnificently seconded the proposal."
"Feng Jiahui, the squire of the Ministry of Ministers, seconded it."
"The ministers gave Zhao Bingbei the secondment in the matter."
All of a sudden, six or seven people seconded the proposal, and it seemed that Wang Zhichen would be arrested and returned to Beijing to be imprisoned.
"The minister is against!"
A person stood up, held a plate wat and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the king's ministers have made many meritorious achievements in Liaodong, how can you ask the meritorious ministers?" ”
"What merit did he have? Is it Anmin or Yuyu? ”
"A dignified strategy, has he ever had a good political achievement? has many disputes with Yuan Chonghuan, is incompetent and useless and greedy for power, this alone should be questioned! ”
"Could it be that Ning Yuan's first battle was fought by his king's ministers?"
Some people retorted one after another, with a posture of wanting to put the king's ministers to death.
Zhou Zheng watched coldly, knowing that this was just the beginning.
Holding the banhu people was not afraid, snorted coldly, and said: "Then Yuan Chonghuan will be sent to Beijing together and confronted face to face." ”
Some people stopped talking for a while, Ning Yuan had not yet made a contribution in the first battle, and Wang Zhichen had no merit and hard work, how could he really go to prison to judge the crime.
There was a person who came out of the ranks, and said loudly: "The situation in Liaodong is complicated, after more than ten years, and now it has become a tradition to reconcile with the Fu, Yan Mingtai and Ma Shilong, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, Wang Zaijin, now Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, Wang Zhichen, it is really unbearable." The ministers asked to dismiss the post of economic strategy, so that the whole of Liaodong can work together to resist the captives......"
Zhou Zheng straightened his chest, and the main topic came.
Sure enough, after this Tian Fuzhi finished speaking, a person came out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister's criminal department gave Tao Dehua a kick-off in the matter, the terrain of Liaodong is hundreds of miles long, and there are more than 300 castles of all sizes, only the two cities of Ningjin are slightly larger, but it is difficult to defend themselves, whenever the thief comes, there are countless casualties, and the money and grain are consumed, and the ministers please abandon the wasteland of Liaodong and recast the Shanhaiguan, with the Xiongguan, you can be worry-free, and then slowly figure it ......"
"Wang Zhengyao, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, played in the fourth year of the Apocalypse in Liaodong Jingluo Wang Huazhen had this intention, and played in the court, but was opposed by the governor Xiong Tingbi and failed to make the trip, so as to cause the defeat of Liaodong, if it had been like this a long time ago, not only to save countless money and food, but also to train and strengthen the army, how could there be such a failure?"
Zhou Zheng listened, his eyes were indifferent, and his heart swelled with anger.
These people openly demanded the abandonment of such a large territory in Liaodong in the court, and there is no such shameless traitor in the world!
There were several people in a row, all in favor of this.
There are dozens of people in the huge court, and there is not a single person who opposes it!
Zhou Zheng's heart was full of anger, his breath was heavy, and he couldn't help but be out of the ranks.
At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the dragon chair suddenly moved, turned his head to look at Huang Liji in front of him, and said, "Huang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Huang Liji came out, was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is very high, and the ministers ask the six ministries to discuss and inquire about the attitude of Liaodong." ”
Apocalypse looked at Huang Liji and didn't speak for a while.
Suddenly, at this time, someone came out again, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers gave Chu Tianxi to play in the matter, Xiong Tingbi, the leader of the Liaodong crime, has been ambushed, Wang Huazhen has meritorious, and he is still in prison because of his involvement, and the ministers ask for special forgiveness." ”
Zhou Zheng saw that Li Hengbing's figure was unconsciously straightened a little.
