Chapter 388: Prisoner Bao Jue
Seeing the upright minister being driven out of the court, the ministers in the palace of the Zhou royal family couldn't help but be surprised.
Everyone looked at each other, and Bao Jue, the monarch of the country, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Zhao is an old minister of the Zhou royal family, who has been loyal to the country for many years, and I think that for the sake of his upright nature, don't expel him, and hope that the king will give Uncle Zhao a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that he can be loyal to the king in the court." ”
Bao Jue was originally the monarch of Bao State, but he was also a minister of the Zhou royal family, and he also served as the doctor of the royal family.
Because Bao Jue himself came to Guanzhong from the far south of the Qinling Mountains to work on an errand, and there were few officials who had a good relationship with him, so after a long time, Bao Jue took the upright Uncle Zhao to get along quite well.
Now, Uncle Zhao is in trouble, can Bao Jue sit idly by? So he went out to intercede for Uncle Zhao.
"Yes, ---, ministers and others respectfully ask the king to bring Uncle Zhao a chance." Seeing that Bao Jue came out to intercede for Uncle Zhao, other ministers also followed.
"The minister asks the king to forgive Uncle Zhao."
"Please spare Uncle Zhao with him."
……
In the face of the suggestions of the ministers, Tian Gongyan asked Father Yu Shi at a loss: "The ministers have all asked Uncle Zhao to take it, what should I do?" ”
Seeing the one-sided situation in the court, Yu Shi's father was a little flustered, and in the face of the questions of the ministers and the consultation of the Son of Heaven, he tried to calm himself down, so he said to Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyan: "Your Majesty, the ministers are dedicated to the country, and they try their best to get the king to forgive Uncle Zhao's mistakes, which is a good thing, which shows that these ministers are also worried about the country and worry about the king's ten thousand years." But the ministers didn't want to think about it, why did the king exile Uncle Zhao? In fact, this is not a punishment for him, but to let him go to the people to collect public information for the Son of Heaven, so that he can make suggestions and suggestions for the court in the future. After this exile, Uncle Zhao will definitely learn more about the people's feelings, and his suggestions and suggestions in the future will definitely be more appropriate, don't you say? ”
After listening to Father Yu Shi's words, Tian Gongyan immediately reacted, "Yes, the reason why Yu Yi banished Uncle Zhao is to let him go to the people to have a good understanding of the people's feelings and understand what the people think." In the future, when making suggestions in the court, I will no longer be so reckless. ”
Now that the Son of Heaven has spoken, what else do the other ministers have to say?
Seeing that the ministers stopped, Father Yu Shi knew that it was time to strike a counterattack against these ministers, so he suggested to the Heavenly Palace: "As the monarch of the Bao Kingdom and the minister of the imperial court, Bao Jue didn't know to share the worries of the country and think about the Son of Heaven, so he knew that inciting the ministers to make trouble was really a great crime and should be dealt with. The minister suggested that Bao Jue be imprisoned and let him reflect on it. ”
What does Yu Shifu do, he is the secretary of the Zhou royal family, the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, because he usually doesn't do anything, he knows to inquire about the preferences of the Son of Heaven, and of course he will also inquire about the discussions between the ministers by the way.
From time to time, he learned about the relationship between the minister and the minister, and he knew that the relationship between Uncle Zhao and Bao Jue was very good.
Since he wants to suppress Uncle Zhao, by the way, he will even take Bao Jue down, so as not to leave future troubles in the future.
Bao Jue would never have thought that he was originally speaking a fair word for Uncle Zhao, how could he bring himself in?
"Your Majesty, the minister, the minister didn't say anything! How did he become an instigator of the ministers? Bao Jue said innocently.
"Why didn't you say anything? Didn't you already tell him Uncle Zhao just now? Do you think that the king recruited beautiful women from the world for his own pleasure? Obviously not, he wants to think about the 10,000-year foundation of the Zhou royal family and leave a successor for the royal family early. But you ministers don't think about the king, and you still look for trouble from time to time. Bao Jue, you are not only the king of Bao Guo, but also the minister of the royal family, if you are really for the sake of the royal family and share the worries of the king, you should dedicate the beauty to the king as soon as possible. Father Yu Shi asked rhetorically, "I have heard that your country is located on the shore of the Han River, rich in products, and has many beautiful women, and if you can offer beautiful women according to the king's request, your sins may be forgiven." ”
This one?
Bao Jue was stunned at this moment, he originally wanted to speak for Uncle Zhao and let Tian Gongyu withdraw the practice of soliciting beauties from the world. Who would have thought that Father Yu Shi would use this as an excuse to let him think about the royal family first, share the worries of the king, and dedicate the beauty to the heavenly palace as soon as possible.
He said this as if he himself had become a traitor to the royal family.
However, Bao Jue is also a tough person, and in the face of Father Yu's threat, he said fiercely: "Father Yushi, as a member of the royal family, you should share the worries of the country and think about the king. I didn't expect you to encourage the king to consult beautiful women all day long, and to have lascivious pleasures. Do you think about the royal family, or are you doing it for your own personal selfishness? ”
In the face of Bao Jue's questioning, Father Yu Shi didn't panic much, and said very calmly, "Bao Jue, you say that I have selfishness, what kind of selfishness do you tell me?" Is it for the sake of being an official or for pleasure? ”
This, this, this?
Bao Jue was asked and had nothing to say, if he wanted to be an official, his father Yu Shi was already the monarch of the duke's country, and he was also a minister of the royal family, so it can be said that the official has come to an end, and there is no way to go further.
As for pleasure? I don't seem to have heard of any absurd and grotesque things about Father Yushi.
Facing Bao Jue, who had nothing to say, Father Yu Shi had something to say, "Bao Jue, don't think that you have spoken for Uncle Zhao yourself, you are a loyal minister." In essence, you people are putting gold on your face by opposing the decisions of the royal family, as if you are loyal ministers who speak up, and we ministers who do things for the royal family are ministers. In fact, you are wrong, if you really share the worries of the king, you should implement the decision of the royal family and present the beautiful women to the king, otherwise you should be dealt with according to the disobedience edict. ”
Father Yu's words blocked the mouths of all the ministers at once, leaving them with nothing to say.
In the face of the ministers who had nothing to say, Tian Gongyu had something to say, "The secretary is right, you people take the country's money, but you don't know that for the sake of sharing the worries of one person and thinking about the country, you know that you oppose the decision of the royal family, and use it to blackmail one person in the name of loyalty for yourself, which is really hateful." If you are truly worried about the royal family, think carefully about what you should do, and if you should be a true loyal servant. ”
After listening to Zhou Tianzi's words, the ministers were completely stunned and had nothing to say. originally thought that they could make a suggestion to the Son of Heaven together, so that he could take back his destiny and no longer solicit beauties from the world, but he never thought that things would develop like this.
Now if you oppose the king's solicitation of beauties, it will become a threat to the king and gain reputation for yourself.
The ministers stopped talking, all like frosted eggplants.
Father Yu Shi's face was slightly happy, and he pointed to Bao Jue, who was standing alone in the center of the main hall, and said, "Someone is coming, put Bao Jue in prison and wait for him to be released." ”
"Nuo---" The guards stepped forward and escorted Bao Jue down.
