110. Reverse scales
The sky is darker, and the night is deeper.
I don't know how many lives, I don't know how many sins are buried in this darkness, but the baptism of time will eventually pass, as always.
And the sky is bright, the sky is gray, this is the prelude to the dawn, after a while, the sky is completely bright, Zheng Wen has already gotten up, changed into the crown of the Son of Heaven, put on his favorite portable sword, and prepared to participate in the court.
As soon as he came out of the imperial study, Zheng Wen saw Zheng Yi, the commander who was respectfully standing up.
As soon as Zheng Yi saw Zheng Wen, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Zheng Wen, before he said loudly: "Your Majesty!" ”
"Get up!" Zheng Wen then said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as Zheng heard this, he immediately said and got up.
As soon as Zheng got up, Zheng Wen saw that his eyes were a little bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night, and he was still uncomfortable in his heart to do this kind of shady thing, Zheng Wen saw that he was tired in his eyes.
He said to him again: "Qing has worked hard, I have asked to go to the court, you can go with me!" ”
"No, thank you for your kindness." When Zheng Yi heard His Majesty's words, his heart was ecstatic, obviously His Majesty no longer intended to pursue it.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he also has to go to the big man, and he naturally has his place in the court, but he can accompany His Majesty to the court, which is also an honor as a courtier, so he happily agreed.
The group soon arrived at the main hall of Daming Palace, and the early dynasty began.
Zheng Wen walked along the imperial steps alone, climbed to the highest place step by step, and sat on the imperial chair.
When Huang An saw it, he immediately said loudly: "The early dynasty has begun, and the ministers have visited the shrine!" ”
All the ministers below immediately bowed in unison and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!" ”
When Zheng Wen saw it, he immediately said loudly: "I'm safe, all the ministers are also safe, don't be polite!" ”
So, everyone got up one after another, dressed up, and immediately looked serious, and started the early dynasty with all their hearts, obviously the ministers also knew that today's court meeting was not simple.
When Huang An saw it, he immediately said: "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a person who looked like a royal history came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Li Liang has something to play Your Majesty." ”
"The demon concubine Li bewitched Your Majesty, causing Your Majesty to issue such a ridiculous holy decree in the matter of Li Yin, the former Jiangnan Festival, the people of the world are extremely disappointed, Your Majesty should quickly kill the demon concubine, recover the holy decree as soon as possible, and rule the arch, so that the world can be peaceful and the people can rest assured!" Li Liang said with a righteous face.
As soon as Li Liang's words fell, only the sound of Qi Qi around him was heard, and everyone turned their heads to look at Li Liang in unison, but with a sympathy in their eyes.
But when Li Liang saw it, he didn't realize it, but he was full of energy, but he was even more proud.
Zheng Wen, who was sitting on the chair, listened to Li Liang's words, his face was pale, and he shouted loudly: "Where are the warriors in the palace? Pull me out, beat me hard, life or death! Obviously, Li Liang's words stimulated Zheng Wen's nerves, and Zheng Wen said fiercely.
And when Li Liang heard Zheng Wen's words, he was also stunned, how could this be? Don't I just want to be famous? How could His Majesty be so angry?
But apparently he didn't have time to think, and under the stupid and bold gazes of the ministers, he was dragged down by the samurai in the palace.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all came back to their senses, it seems that they still have to pay attention in the future, although this stupid and bold Li Liang said everything they wanted to say in their hearts, but they didn't sympathize with him at all, they only thought he was stupid.
Zheng Wen sat on the imperial chair, saw the scene below, slowed down for a moment, and then said: "If there is anything else, let's play it, I listen!" ”
As soon as the words fell, another imperial historian who was not afraid of death came out and said: "Your Majesty, what is wrong with Brother Li's words? This demon concubine Li charmed His Majesty, Li Yin's merits were revealed to the world too early, why did he posthumously seal Shaobao......"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Wen shouted impatiently: "Pull it out and give me a heavy beating!" ”
The warrior in the temple quickly stepped forward and dragged him out of the main hall.
He was dragged and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are blocking the way of speech......
As soon as he was dragged down, another imperial historian came out and said: "The holy king of the ancients, ruling the world with a vertical arch, and the world is peaceful......"
As soon as Zheng Wen heard this, he waved his hand impatiently, and then said: "Drag it out, give me a beating, life and death don't matter!" He said with a calm face.
The samurai in the temple immediately dragged him down.
Another imperial historian came out of the ranks, and said to Zheng Wen with great righteousness: "Your Majesty, you are so obstructive of the way of speech, aren't you afraid of the spirit of Emperor Taizu Taizong in the sky?" Your Majesty is so brutal, today he uses force to intimidate his ministers and others, so that his ministers are unspeakable, aren't you afraid that the pen of history is like iron, and the history is clear? ”
Another imperial history came out and said: "That's right, Your Majesty is the lord of the great cadres, and he should learn from the ancient holy kings, and rule the ......."
When Zheng Wen heard this, he laughed angrily, sat on the imperial chair, and said loudly: "Warriors in the palace, drag these two people out and beat me hard!" ”
All of a sudden, the two were dragged out again.
When Zheng Wen saw it, he got up, walked to the imperial table, looked at the ministers below, and said loudly: "Are there any people who are not afraid of death?" Stand up and let me see how hard your backbone really is. ”
As soon as his words fell, five more imperial historians stood up, just about to say something.
Zheng Wen said loudly: "There is no need to say anything, I will be dragged out, beaten a hundred, those who survive, demoted to the southwest, resigned, the whole family will be exiled for three thousand miles, and three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examination." Zheng Wen said heavily.
When the ministers below heard this, they gasped, Your Majesty's punishment is too heavy, it seems that these nine people will have to shed their skin if they are not dead.
In fact, Zheng Wen still admires the arrogance of these people in his heart, and he does dare to speak out, but their words offend him as an emperor, he did not hesitate to kill him, and he also broke the thoughts in the hearts of these people below, who knows that these imperial histories are not the pawns of some people?
The urine nature of this bureaucracy is the same in ancient and modern times at home and abroad, and even more so in this feudal era.
These, Zheng Wen has been the emperor for two months, he can see it very clearly, and fortunately he is very fast, and he is also very quick to gather power, otherwise, now it is really a vertical arch, and he can only be a cat in the palace, giving birth to a baby, how can he be so happy?
Zheng Wen stood on a high place, looked at the silent minister below, and said again: "This matter, I have made up my mind, so there is no need to mention it again, is there anything else?" He said calmly, and also forcibly set the tone for Jiangnan Li Yin's matter, and the matter was over.
The ministers below listened to Zheng Wen's words, but they were silent, what happened just now caught them off guard, His Majesty solved it in a simple and rude way, they were still pondering the gains and losses just now, could this be the end of this dynasty?
At this time, Wu Wei, the right attendant of the ministry, suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Taicang ordered Li Dou to die in Taicang for no reason, but Taicang disappeared and flew a million taels of gold, is this true?" He asked, with a bang.
As soon as his words fell, all the ministers below looked at him with a brush, obviously many people had only heard of it for the first time, and they were also curious!
And the official at the level of the six Shangshu glanced at this Wu Wei knowingly, this person is extremely bold, he dares to poke this thing out so blatantly, but who is behind this?
Wu Wei just stood like that, calmly accepting these gazes, but his face did not change, but his eyes were secretly observing Zheng Wen.
Zheng Wen also glanced at him in surprise, and then glanced at the ministers below, and then said unhurriedly: "Wu Qing's news is really well-informed, I also gave a gag order to Jinyiwei in this matter, I didn't expect it to be so useless, so soon, Wu Qing knew, it seems that the right servant of this official is a bit overkill after all, and this Jinyiwei commander should give you a job!" Zheng Wen said with a smile.
However, Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "The minister has disappointed Your Majesty. His eyes were staring straight at this Wu Wei, as if he could see through him.
And the eyes of the ministers looked at him very strangely, but Wang Yong, the secretary of the ministry, looked at him strangely. Wu Wei didn't expect that His Majesty had only said a few words, which made him a little isolated, and he just wanted to say something.
Zheng Wen smiled again and said: "Wu Qing, the news you heard is also half-true, this Li Dou is indeed dead, and he died a very strange death, as for the disappearance of one million taels of gold for no reason, this is just a fallacy from someone with a heart." ”
He pointed to the ministers below and said: "You are all the elites of the Great Qian, you must not listen to this kind of rumors, how important Taicang is, I know, the first emperors of the Great Qian, the previous emperors of the Great Qian, Taicang is heavily guarded, how can there be such a mistake?" ”
"In the past few days, the reason why I blocked Taicang is because Taicang caused Li Dou to die violently for no reason, this matter, it is big and big, it is not big or big, I will hand it over to Yang Bo, the secretary of Dali Temple, to be responsible, he is a master in this area."
"Yang Bo, let's talk about it!" Zheng Wen glanced at Yang Bo.
Yang Bo immediately understood, and bowed to Zheng Wen, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, all the ministers, the ministers have been in Taicang for the past few days, and they have already found out the cause of Li Dou's death, the reason why Li Dou died so strangely, it is because he has eaten too much Miao people's secret medicine, this medicine, how to say, is a man's medicine, and it is only touted that it is a three-point poison, and Lord Li, it is this medicine that has been taken all year round, which led to sudden death, so I also advise you here, this music medicine, after all, the origin is not clear, Everyone still eats less. Yang Bo still showed a knowing smile.
When the ministers heard this, many of them had constipated expressions on their faces.
But Yang Bo said to Wu Wei again: "Lord Wu, what did you say about the disappearance of one million taels of gold, it is absolutely not, this gold and silver reserve in Taicang, Lord Yang of the household department is very clear. After speaking, he glanced at him meaningfully.
And Yang Bo also came out and said: "That's right, these days, the headquarters has taken the people from the household department to conduct an inventory of Taicang, and the gold and silver reserves in Taicang are indeed not less than one or two. After speaking, he glanced at Wu Wei very friendly.
