Chapter 420: Complaint
The emperor came in, his face was sallow, and his health was obviously worse, but his spirit seemed to be good today.
"Oh, Youguo, are you satisfied with the marriage I have arranged for you?" Liu Hong said with a smile.
Ye Chen heard this and hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is very satisfied. "Joke, the emperor arranged it, if you are not satisfied, you have to say that you are satisfied, and Ye Chen is really satisfied.
"Okay, it's good to be satisfied, Youguo is the pillar of the country, the good talent of the country, I will never treat you badly." Liu Hong said happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as the two finished talking, someone jumped out.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to sue General Pingbei and the Marquis of Jinxi." A speaker stood up and said.
Ye Chen heard a sneer on his lips, and knew that these people would not be idle.
Liu Hong's face turned cold, it was so obvious that he had just won over Ye Chen, this guy was about to come out and dismantle the stage? Isn't it good to call yourself with a knife?
"Say." Liu Hong coldly popped out a word.
The official shook his head, adjusted his state, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister sued Ye Chen for insulting the princess, and when he got married, he actually invited a bunch of mud legs to attend the wedding banquet, and he didn't take the princess seriously, and he also gathered the people, causing chaos in Luoyang City, accusing him of ignoring his colleagues and putting them in a dilemma."
The official made a generous statement and became the embodiment of justice, and counted Ye Chen's crimes, all of them, with roots and evidence, and in an instant Ye Chen became a kingless, fatherless, and heinous person.
Ye Chen muttered in his heart after hearing this, he didn't know who arranged it, and it was really difficult for him to weave so many crimes.
"Youguo, what do you have to say?" After the official finished speaking, Liu Hong asked Ye Chen.
Liu Hong really thought it was true at first, but the more the Yanguan talked, the more outrageous it became, and Liu Hong hated those Yanguan very much, and they had already counted themselves down several times.
As soon as Liu Hong opened his mouth, many people knew that this was to protect Ye Chen, otherwise how could he be called so kind, or Ye Chen's words.
After hearing this, Ye Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the first time that the minister has been falsely accused, and the minister has a clear conscience. ”
It's not the first time to make a false accusation, that is, this time it's also a false accusation, the mouth grows on themselves, they can sue themselves, they can deny it, and in the end, it depends on whose means are smarter.
"Rank Aiqing, what do you think?" Liu Hong asked lightly.
The officials below were a little embarrassed by this question, because there was no one to take the lead this time, and no one greeted them in advance, so they didn't understand whether to support or oppose.
Yuan Kui kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, and even lowered his head and looked at the ground, he knew very well that they had lost the opportunity in this incident, and at most caused him some trouble, so Yuan Kui would not make a move, if he made a move, he must be sure, so as to maintain his authority.
"Lord Yuan, what do you think?" Liu Hong saw that no one spoke, so he had to say by name.
"Your Majesty, the minister has also heard about some things, Ye Chen invited the people of Luoyang to a banquet when he married the princess, and it is indeed true." After speaking, Yuan Kui closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.
Everyone is a human spirit, this Yuan Kui is about to admit it, they naturally don't dare to say more, He Jin wants to help, but he has already asked Yuan Kui to jointly deal with Ye Chen, but he was refused, and later through Yuan Shao, He Jin learned the reason, so naturally he would not coax at this time.
The two of them didn't speak, and the others all saw the wind and steered, and they didn't continue to attack Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, when you were not invited by others at the princess's wedding, you invited some people to participate, but is there such a thing?" Liu Hong asked.
After all, he is the emperor, and the majesty of the royal family still has to be maintained, so after hearing about this, he must ask, if Ye Chen can't give a satisfactory answer, then he still has to punish him.
Listening to Liu Hong's questioning, Yuan Kui sneered, this was the thing he thought of that could cause trouble for Ye Chen, so he only mentioned this matter, and he didn't mention the rest.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to report." Ye Chen stood up and just wanted to answer Liu Hong's question, but at this time, Zhang Rang stepped forward and said.
"Father, please speak."
"The old slave heard a poem in the street, and this poem happened to be related to this matter."
Liu Hong was puzzled and said with interest: "Father, tell me about it." ”
"Your Majesty, this poem is like this, the high wind in August and autumn roared angrily, rolling up the triple thatch on my house. There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the cold people in the world are happy, and the wind and rain are not moving! Alack! When I suddenly see this house in front of me, it is enough for me to freeze to death! This poem is said to have been written by General Ye. ”
"There are tens of millions of Ande mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy." As soon as he finished listening, Liu Hong couldn't help but admire.
Zhang Rang read out the song that the thatched hut was broken by the autumn wind Ye Chen knew what was going on, it had been more than ten days since he arranged it, and it was normal for them to get the news.
"Youguo, is this poem really made for you?" Liu Hong asked.
Ye Chen had already prepared his words, so he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this poem was made by the minister, when he was in Liaodong, the minister often visited the people, and heard about it, so he wrote a poem to warn himself that there are still many people in the world who are homeless, and there are people who can't eat enough, even if they arrive in Luoyang, they have never forgotten, so they decided to feast the people and do their best." ”
Ye Chen generously put gold on his face, anyway, no one knows what he said, and he can bless his reputation, why not.
Everyone wailed in their hearts, Ye Chen, how can you be so shameless. Most people understand that this time the state of suing Ye Chen has been in vain again.
Yuan Kui had already gotten some news, and he had long known that it would be difficult to sue Ye Chen this time, so he didn't make a fuss, otherwise he would have sued Ye Chen, but as a result, no one had any, wouldn't he lose face.
Losing face is just a trivial matter, it will also hit his own reputation and increase Ye Chen's reputation, so he didn't do it.
"Okay, Youguo is really a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people." Liu Hong happily praised it.
"Your Majesty, the minister also asked Neiko to adopt orphans around Luoyang, and taught them some crafts, so that they can live in peace on their own in the future, which can be regarded as the minister did a little bit for them." Ye Chen said.
"Okay, Youguo did a good job, this was originally what the court should do, but now the court is eventful, and it can't take care of these small things, Youguo is for the people, just do it." Liu Hong said.
Ye Chen was very happy, wasn't everything arranged just for Liu Hong's words. With what Liu Hong said today, Ye Chen can openly collect these orphans, and cultivate them and let them work for themselves, and when the time comes, who will dare to say that he is not, and who will dare to doubt himself.
However, those ministers and families all thought that Ye Chen was just for fame, and he was doing this purely to deceive the world and steal his reputation.
What they thought was a face-saving project was a useful project here in Ye Chen, and it was for their own preparation in the future.
