Chapter 47: Straight Talk
Sihan's pupils shrank, and his gaze locked towards Zhanwen's wings, "If the emperor has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Zhan Wenyi stood up slightly straight, his clear and waveless gaze swept towards Qingshan and Lao Yue Hou, and then said respectfully towards Sihan: "In the past few years, Yue Hou has acted a little too much, but Yue Hou has been in Kyoto City for so many years, neither hurting nor harming anyone, and besides, the people who Yue Hou sent to the palace that day are all known to be slaves, not real bloody men. Therefore, Yue Hou ruined the reputation of the eldest princess, and there was nothing to say. In addition, Lao Yue Hou will be effective for me Dongling, and tonight, the court should also be compassionate, and always can't let Lao Yue Hou be sad in his old age, and Yue Hou at this time, he has realized his mistake, and sincerely admits his mistake, Weichen believes that as long as the eldest princess gives Yue Hou another chance, Yue Hou can change his evil and return to the right, and he will serve my Dongling. ”
A lengthy speech, well-conditioned and well-paced.
Thinking deeply, he glanced at Zhan Wenyi, his thoughts flipped over, and he was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a group of ministers suddenly said: "Although the prodigal son can turn back, his character is not easy to eradicate. What's more, a person like Yue Hou, who has been arrogant in Kyoto City for decades, thinks that if Yue Hou wants to change all of them, or even serve the country, I am afraid that it is not practical. ”
As soon as these words fell, several courtiers around them timidly began to echo them.
Lao Yuehou began to cough again, and his gray hair looked particularly sad.
Sihan frowned slightly, his heart fluctuated, but he really didn't expect that in the court today, there would be such a sad or downhill drama, and then look at the Qingshan, kneeling upright and stiff, with his head lowered, as if he was really enlightened.
"Sister." Probably seeing that Lao Yuehou and Qingshan were pitiful, the young emperor turned his eyes to look at Sihan, full of compassion. However, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Sihan glanced at him with a slight relief, but at this moment, the courtier who spoke out against spoke up again, "The eldest princess also said before, the prince should be guilty of the same crime as the common people if he breaks the law. Yue Hou knew that he had broken the law, and he had been arrogant in Kyoto City for decades, just like a snake in the city, such a person, the eldest princess should be severely punished, and the city of Kyoto should be peaceful. Pick-up"
If you have words, the tone is slightly high, and the aggressiveness is fully revealed.
Zhan Wenyi turned his eyes to look at him and smiled slightly, "Lord Zhao is not overdoing it. Although Yue Hou's words and deeds are slight, he is definitely not the head snake in Kyoto City. On the contrary, as far as I know, Lord Zhao colluded with his uncle to bully the people and dominate the market, which is well known to the public. Compensation"
As he spoke, ignoring the stiff face of the courtier surnamed Zhao, Zhan Wenyi raised his eyes and looked at Sihan, and continued: "Eldest princess, Yue Hou is just a little nostalgic for Fengyue, if the eldest prince wants to punish him and be fair and strict, he should also thoroughly investigate all the courtiers who are nostalgic for Sihan's land every day to show fairness." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color.
After a while, a courtier immediately said: "Actually, it is indeed as the emperor said, although Yue Hou is nostalgic for Fengyue, but at this time Yue Hou has the heart to repent, and the prodigal son will not change his money, and I hope that the eldest princess will look at Yue Hou's mistakes, and also look at the face of the old Yue Hou, and spare Yue Hou once." ”
"Yes, yes, what Lord Liu said is very true. The prodigal son turned around and did not change the money, and the eldest princess spared Yue Hou. ”
The voices that came and went one after another suddenly fell to Qingshan.
Lao Yuehou frowned, and said with a little difficulty: "You have to ask for your life, but this evil obstacle is indeed too lawless, and you adults don't need to ask for it again, no matter how the eldest princess punishes him, it is to take his life, I will respect and obey, and I will never complain." ”
As soon as these words fell, Lao Yuehou raised his eyes and looked at Sihan, and his hoarse and sad voice once again expressed his determination, "The eldest princess doesn't need to change her original intention in front of the minister, and she doesn't need to be embarrassed because of the minister." This evil obstacle is useless, causing trouble, how to deal with the eldest father, the old ministers all follow. ”
The loyal bones of the country, in this unhealthy atmosphere of Tanglin, can still uphold the controversy, and the righteousness of destroying relatives, it is also extremely rare.
Moreover, although she Yan Sihan was extremely angry with Qingshan, she never really moved the heart of punishment to Qingshan, let alone the intent to kill.
After all, the merry and brainless minister of the mud is better than the minister who is against her every day, and it is better than falling to Lan Yeyu on one side, not to mention, this Qingshan is still so stiff and kneeling at this time, full of numbness and respect, and there is no usual sleekness, looking at it, it is also pleasing to the eye.
Sihan didn't speak immediately, and after his thoughts turned over for a while, he said in a low voice: "Yue Hou's character is indeed bad, but it's not, the sin is unforgivable." ”
The low and waveless voice reveals a bit of undisguised atmosphere and majesty.
As soon as these words fell, Sihan looked at the ministers around him, "This palace has always upheld justice. Tell me, Yue Hou, but there is no major crime? Forgivable? ”
In an instant, the ministers saw the wind and the rudder, and immediately nodded.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he looked indifferently at the minister who initially objected, and asked lightly: "Lord Zhao, what do you mean?" ”
The official surnamed Zhao had a white face, his eyes were uncertain, and when he gritted his teeth secretly for a moment, he finally said respectfully: "Weichen, I have always been jealous and hateful, and I am willing to uphold justice and fairness, and I also wish that my courtiers in Tanglin are all upright and upright." But Yue Hou did not commit too much, and at this time, he confessed his guilt and was willing to be punished, yes, Yue Hou was able to do this, and he was also turning back and remedy, therefore, Wei Chen was also willing to forgive Yue Hou again at this time. If Yue Hou commits another crime in the future, it will not be too late for the eldest princess to scold him. ”
This man has finally relented.
As she said, as long as the regent is not there, these courtiers will lack the backbone, and she will put a little pressure on them, so as not to worry about these courtiers and not to obey.
"Since all the adults think that Yue Hou is not a big crime, and it can be forgiven, yes, Qingshan, this palace and ask you, and now you are willing to change your bad nature, sincerely serve the country, glorify my Dongling, and glorify your Hou Mansion?" Sihan looked at Qingshan with light eyes, and asked not deep or shallow.
Qingshan kowtowed heavily, "Weichen, I am willing." ”
Sihan's expression moved slightly, "It's good if you want." Since the ministers ask for your guilt, this palace is naturally unkind. What's more, it's not easy for you to turn back as a prodigal son, this palace is self-satisfied to look at Lao Yuehou's face and give you a chance. Today's matter, this is the end, after you return to the next court, you will continue to be under house arrest, and the half-month house arrest period set at the beginning of the palace will be over, and when the day of house arrest is over, you will be born again, and you will not slack off. Qingshan, can it be done? ”
Qingshan didn't speak immediately, waited for a while, and nodded respectfully, "The eldest princess can give Qingshan another chance, it is already a great luck for Qingshan, Qingshan will change the evil and return to the right in the future, and live a good life for the country and the people, and do her duty." ”
Sihan said lightly: "That's fine." And I will remember what you say. If it is, if you rebound from your inferiority and lawlessness in the future, when the time comes, don't blame this palace for being merciless to you. ”
Qingshan didn't make a sound, but kowtowed again.
Sihan's expression moved slightly, then he took his eyes away from him, and said in a low voice: "The matter of Yue Hou has been decided, and today, I won't say more." It's not too early to do this, ladies and gentlemen, but there is still something important to play? ”
As soon as these words fell, it was still an expected response.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he didn't speak immediately, his slender fingertips slowly rubbed the ink pen on the desk in front of him, and said in a low voice: "In the past two days, there have been very few folds sent into the imperial study. And yesterday, there were only two copies. I am a big country in Tanglin, and the important things that happen in various places are summarized in Kyoto City, no matter what, there should be more than fifteen books a day, but yesterday, there were only five books, and the things played are irrelevant, and the palace wants to ask, my lords, how long has it been since I wrote a book? Or, if the twists and turns are very good, it means that my Tanglin country is peaceful and peaceful, and nothing important happens. ”
The low and waveless voice was a little careless, but when these words came out, Sihan's face sank most of the time.
The ministers all hung their heads, a little weak-hearted, but still did not speak.
Sihan's expression fluctuated again, and his tone became gloomy, "I, Dongling, have just experienced a national disaster, and have experienced disasters, and when I am so in danger, there are only five copies of the recitals handed into the palace by the ministers, and none of them have proposed how to solve the problem of the country's crisis!" Come to think of it, you must have not written for a long time, your hands are soft, and you don't want to write a fold, or not, this palace sympathizes with your weak hands and does not pursue it, but every early dynasty, you are also silent, there is nothing important to mention, and there is no feasible new policy or a way to solve the crisis to mention, so, like you and other useless people, what does this palace want you to use! ”
The more he said this, the more he said it, the more majestic his anger became.
As soon as the end fell, the ink pen and inkstone in Sihan's hand were suddenly thrown down by her.
With two bangs, the ink pen fell to the ground and the inkstone shattered. A few drops of ink splashed on Qingshan's clothes.
The ministers were suddenly startled, and their faces immediately turned pale.
Sihan swept them coldly, and said gloomily: "This palace said that the country is in danger, and it is not to raise waste. This palace also told you yesterday that if you can't think of a new deal or come up with a way to make contributions to Tanglin, you will all roll to this palace. And today, the palace has set up another article, tomorrow, the palace must see the proposal of each courtier and the way to solve the crisis, if you write at will, deal with it, the palace, will dismiss your official position, forever, no longer hired. ”
Her voice was angry, but cold.
The courtiers present froze, and no one dared to take the lead.
Sihan didn't have the intention to say more, nor did he have the intention to stay longer, so he just said coldly: "Today, it's not the palace that forces you, but the palace that you force." Come to think of it, if the palace doesn't set some rules today, I think there will only be three or two copies of the music that will be passed into the palace tomorrow! If you are slack in government affairs, and you are not the loyal ministers and eyes and ears of the palace and the emperor, then the palace and the emperor will naturally want you to be useless. And remember the words of this palace, the order is here, if you are slack, you are the regent, and I don't want to ask for your life in front of this palace! ”
As soon as these words fell, Sihan didn't say much, but just signaled coldly to the eunuchs beside him.
The eunuch hurriedly came over and announced his retreat.
Sihan did not delay, and immediately took the young emperor out of the main hall.
Outside the hall, the sun is already strong, and the wind is scorching.
The young emperor's face fluctuated, and he asked immaturely: "Sister is a little fierce to the courtiers today?" If they really can't write a song tomorrow, Sister really wants to drive them away? But as soon as they left, the court was empty, and there was no one. ”
Sihan was slightly stunned, and turned his eyes to look at his young emperor. It's just that his younger brother rarely asks about court affairs, but now at a young age, he can even know a little bit about right and wrong.
At this point, Sihan was busy gathering his thoughts, slowed down his voice slightly, and only said: "Wei'er thinks that those courtiers who occupy the imperial court, use the court's money, and are even disloyal to the monarch and are useless, or are they better to drive away this group of people who are disloyal and unrighteous and can only gnaw the flesh and blood of the court, so as to distribute the saved Yulu to the loyal ministers who have been promoted from the imperial examination and the martial arts?" ”
The young emperor frowned, lowered his eyes, as if he was seriously thinking about it, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Sihan: "Wei'er thinks that it is better to promote the new minister." ”
Sihan's face slid with a hint of relief, "So, Wei'er thinks that today Sister threatened those useless courtiers and forced them to serve the country, so that they could do something that should be done, but was wrong?" ”
The young emperor shook his head hurriedly, "Sister is not wrong, not wrong." It was Wei'er who was wrong. ”
Sihan sighed secretly, reached out and touched his head, "Wei'er can start thinking about the government and start distinguishing right from wrong, it's too late for Sister to be relieved." In the future, if Wei'er has any opinions, she can also talk directly to Sister A. In this Tanglin, Wei'er is the emperor, and Sister Ah is just assisting Wei'er and guarding Wei'er. ”
