Chapter Ninety-Four: Blood Splattered in the Court
Emperor Wu looked at Ju Mao, his face moved, and finally he raised his hand and said, "Old General Ju, why are you here today?!" ”
Ju Mao put the gold-inlaid treasure knife in his hand and polished it, raised his head and said to Emperor Wu: "When the veteran entered the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Jingxiao'er saw that the veteran was wearing a black armor and silver robe and a gold-inlaid treasure knife in his hand, and he did not stop the veteran from going to the palace. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wu's face trembled, and Emperor Wu, who had always been less happy and angry in the court, also moved slightly at this time, and his hand on the chair was also clenched, but after exhaling a breath, he slowly spoke: "Old General Ju, I naturally remember, but today's court is discussing state affairs, and I ask the old general not to ......."
"The gentleman's words are wrong, Yu Gong, the veteran is the former general of the Wu Kingdom, the former minister of the auxiliary government mentioned by the first monarch, Yu private, the veteran is the patriarch of the Ju clan, and the patriarch of the clan cannot avoid the deliberations of today's court!"
"The old general's words are correct, and he can indeed participate in court affairs."
Seeing Ju Mao's words, the courtiers of the old clan who suddenly had a helping voice began to help.
The eldest son, Lin Yuren, also stood up to speak for Ju Mao: "The old general Ju stays in the Zongfu on weekdays and doesn't ask about state affairs, and when he goes to the court today, he must have something important to say." ”
Emperor Wu glanced at the eldest son Lin Yuren, and did not scold, originally Ju Mao did not go to the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Wu asked himself if he could grasp the direction of the court, but as soon as Ju Mao went to the court, the qualifications and military exploits of this old general, no matter if it was Emperor Wu himself, he could not decide whether what he did was right or wrong.
There is no way, the symbolism given to Ju Mao by the ancestor of the martial arts is too big, and this old general can indeed afford these honors.
Ju Mao took a step forward, then raised the gold-inlaid treasure knife in his hand, and said: "Your Highness hasn't seen this knife for almost ten years, I'm afraid that His Highness is about to forget it, right?!" ”
Woo the Devil!
Hearing this, Emperor Wu's expression darkened, this is not an unfamiliar name, on the contrary, every time he has free time to deal with political affairs in the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Wu will stare at the clouds outside for a long time, and what appears in his mind is the appearance of this person.
Not only Emperor Wu, but also the courtiers in the court frowned when they heard this name.
Huang Qi, the name who once stirred up turmoil in the martial arts, as soon as Ju Mao said it, it evoked the memories of everyone present.
The former prime minister of the country!
The former minister of the martial state, a former minister of the state who will roll up the bloody storm of the martial country!
Emperor Wu issued the first guest to enter the scene, and was once cited by Emperor Wu as a confidant in this life, and was once promised by Emperor Wu that if he could make Wuguo stronger than among the princes, under the Lin clan of Wuguo, it would be the Tang clan.
The corners of Wu Guo's mouth raised a wry smile, this is really a character who can't be stopped as soon as he opens it from his memory.
Ju Mao watched the changes in the faces of the courtiers, and also said loudly: "Every so-called minister of the court and the central government here here, when it comes to the name of Tun Qi, I am afraid that he gritted his teeth with hatred, but the veteran general, when he heard this name, he was very happy, because the son of a certain Ju clan had enough food to eat in the border army, with this, the veteran of the gold-inlaid treasure sword given to me by the first monarch was willing to lend him as a weapon for the reform of the martial country. Otherwise, it will definitely not let the martial country lose such a good talent! ”
Ju Ma turned his head to look at Emperor Wu and asked sharply, "Your Majesty, do you remember!" ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wu sighed, then glanced at the courtiers for a week, and said, "The matter of the Xiang, I have a loss!" ”
A courtier stood up and reminded Ju Mao: "Old general, today's court is talking about the land property of the old clan in Jianyang, why does the old general want to bring up the old matter again?" ”
Ju Mao looked back at the courtier and said, "Old things again?!" The veteran felt that these things happened yesterday, and they were not old things, but they were just a day's work, and the soldiers had surplus food, but the treasury was prepared, but today it is that even the soldiers who fought in the frontier have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, and the veteran is sad! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wu thought about it for a long time, this is a world-class talent that he has never met in his life, and he is now eager for a world-class talent to help Wuguo become strong, but what Emperor Wu actually thinks in his heart is that he longs for the Xuanqi who left Wuguo that day to turn around and return to Wuguo to continue the cause of the strength of Wuguo that the two once hoped for.
However, Emperor Wu had this intention, but he never saw this world-famous talent who had made Wu Guo emerge a little strong.
The "system of governance" he implemented was to take the court as the center in the Wu country, cater to the trend around the Wu country, and suggested that the Wu country establish an imperial system internally, so as to avoid the same as the kings of the "Red Turban Rebellion" in the south, and lose their own status.
Although the prime minister is gone, the rule still exists!
The law of "control" hurt the interests of the old clan, but although the old clan was forced away by the old clan, many of the "rule" laws left over from the old clan were forcibly retained by Emperor Wu, but there was no support for the border army as a button, and many of the laws of "control" have existed in name only, such as the city order system that was once regarded as the top priority by the city, and now it is not smooth to implement it in various places.
Of the three places that Lin Yuyan was able to touch, Lingying Yingde in Shuyang was born in a poor family, but his nature was weak and the government's confidence was insufficient, so he would be pinched by the powerful clan in Shuyang; Thorn Yang Ling Lu is from the old clan of Thorn Yang, but it is called by the old clans such as the Gou clan and the Ju clan with deep roots in Thorn Yang; As for Xiao Chang'an's Ju Ling, he was killed by Duwei Ge Bao, which shows his control over Xiao Chang'anju.
Whenever the courtiers called themselves "Emperor Wu" and "Your Majesty" instead of "the king", Emperor Wu was saddened most of the time.
If it weren't for the restructuring of the Wu Kingdom, I am afraid that the Wu Kingdom would not have lasted so long in the difficulties of Jin and Han many years ago.
Originally, Lin Yuyan, who was the center of sight of the court, was also temporarily forgotten because of Ju Mao's arrival, but listening to Ju Mao's talk about the incident, Lin Yuyan also frowned and asked the second emperor brother Gongzixin: "Second emperor brother, who is this Huang Qi." ”
Gongzi Xin turned slightly sideways and said: "The former prime minister of Wuguo, but when he was in power, his brother did not leave the cabinet, and I heard about the "imperial system" of Wuguo, and the system of three phases and six doctors was proposed by this person, and he single-handedly contributed to the first change of Wuguo, but ...... I heard that the government mostly involved the interests of the old clan, and the old clan was forced to take away the martial kingdom in the difficulty of Jin and Han! ”
Hearing this, the doubts that have been haunting his heart are finally solved, no wonder since he came out of the cabinet, he found that the government system of the Wu State seems to be different from the Ji Zhou period, it seems that it is from the hand of the former minister of the country, it seems that the former minister of the Wu country is indeed a world-class talent, but unfortunately he did not start and end well in the Wu country.
Listening to the old general, the old general didn't open the pot, and the courtiers of the old clan also thought that the old general was confused, after all, he was seventy years old, and in the eyes of most of the courtiers here, it was a piece of rotten wood, if it weren't for the unimaginable legacy of the old general, otherwise the old clan would definitely ignore this old man with a strange temper.
"Old General Ju, the matter of the Thorn Yang Field, please ask the old general to speak for us and other old clans!" There are old clans to remind again.
This time, Ju Mao came back to his senses, looked at the old clan courtier who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Okay, let's end this matter today, which can be regarded as an end to your harassment of the veteran during this time!" ”
"Thank you, General Ju, for speaking up to our old clan!" The old clan thanked one after another.
Ju Mao looked at the martial arts brother who was seated and said: "Your Majesty, it must have been many years since there has been a five-step blood splash in the court, and today is to let the old general Su Chao Dynasty be treacherous!" ”
"This?!" Many old clan courtiers never thought that the old general Ju would be so bold and actually want to splash blood in the court?!
The courtiers looked at General Ju, and then looked at Emperor Wu, and found that the latter's face was pale, and they suddenly realized that there must be a great event in the court today.
Gongzi Xin also shrank his eyes, took two steps forward, covered Lin Yuyan behind him, and said to Ju Mao: "Old general, please calm down!" ”
The Minister of State Baili Huai said sharply before coming out: "Old General Ju, in the place where Your Majesty declares the government, it is not appropriate to see blood in the country, it is better to be harmonious!" ”
Ju Mao raised his knife and said: "The foundation of the country, I have to see blood, Baili Huai, the veteran knows that you have faced 80,000 Jin and Han troops and is not afraid, but if you want to use this to block the veteran, I am afraid it will be ......."
Shen Case woke up and said to Emperor Wu: "The old general is afraid that he has lost his mind and is holding a sharp weapon, and I also ask Your Majesty to summon His Royal Highness General Zhao Jing of Yulinwei!" ”
Emperor Wu reacted and immediately said loudly: "Zhao Jing, the commander of the Zhao Yu Lin Army, and Yu Lin Wei of the Xuanzheng Hall are in the hall!" ”
Lin Yuyan didn't expect Ju Mao to be so reckless, saying that when he saw blood, he would see blood, and when he thought of what he did in Jufu that day, he had to break out in a cold sweat, and dared to resist himself on the tip of the knife that day! However, Lin Yuyan was by no means a person who sat still, quickly turned around and went up the steps, and directly got Emperor Wu's sword from next to Emperor Wu.
"What are you going to do?!" Emperor Wu was shocked, and then looked at Lin Yuyan, who had already raised his sword, and said sharply, but then said to Gao Jin: "Gao Jin, take the sixth son of the emperor into the apse!" ”
Gao Jin's decades of career in the Xuanzheng Palace have never seen the scene in front of him, and he is ready to walk to the side of the sixth son of the emperor at the moment, pull up his sleeves and run to the apse.
"Your Majesty, don't panic!"
Your Royal Highness, the general Zhao Jing also walked in, walked to the bottom of the steps with his sword horizontally, and said to Emperor Wu again: "Your Majesty, don't panic, General Ju is not killing the emperor...... The sixth son of the emperor! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Wu settled down a little, and sure enough, with Zhao Jing's upper hall, the two teams of Yu Linwei also rushed in one left and one right, and another figure walked in, Emperor Wu had the impression that this person was the former deputy general of the border army of Ju Mao, and now the big butler of Jufu - Ju Gong.
Ju Pot knelt on the ground and saluted: "Meet the king, please watch how the head of the family acts!" ”
Seeing this, the old general also laughed and said, "Haha, it's old...... The courage of the king is not as good as the courage of the first monarch and the veteran when he was on the Yingchuan battlefield! ”
Immediately, Ju Mao looked at Lin Yuyan, who was facing the horizontal sword, and said with a smile: "The little cub is much more courageous than your third emperor brother, and he actually dared to draw a sword in the palace against a certain veteran, and he is really not a descendant who values ancestral etiquette!" ”
Ju Mao looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Let these courtiers who are kneeling on the ground arrest......"
"This ......" Zhao Jing didn't listen to what Ju Mao said, but looked at Emperor Wu and asked what the latter meant, the latter reacted and nodded towards Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing asked people to arrest the kneeling courtiers.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yuyan knew that the blade of the old guy Ju was not pointing at him, and as soon as he thought of this, Lin Yuyan almost slapped his thigh and said directly that he was tricked by this old immortal!
Yu Linwei quickly took control of the courtiers in the court.
Ju Mao touched the knife in his hand and said, "Little cub, come here!" ”
At this time, Ju Mao is still the courage of the little cub of the exquisite sixth son of the emperor.
Lin Yuyan's face was also stunned, but he thought a lot at this moment, what Ju Mao said to the former prime minister of the country, as well as the prestige of the old general in the martial country, finally walked forward, but the long sword in his hand was getting tighter and tighter.
"There are courage, and there are means!" Looking at Lin Yuyan's actions, Ju Mao also commented on such a sentence, and then summoned Ju Gong, Ju Gong also escaped from his arms and gave a silk book to Lin Yuyan and said: "Sixth Emperor, the old master is not trying to attack you, don't be careful, look at this carefully!" ”
Lin Yuyan took the silk book and glanced at it, and it was the number of fields of the old clan of Jianyang.
"Little cub, read it!" Ju Mao said lightly.
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan reported the number of fields on the silk book.
"The Ju clan, more than 80 houses, more than 33,000 acres of land, 3,000 acres of ancestral cemetery, and ask the old general Ju to ask for it for my Zhuang clan!"
This silk book was written by the heads of the old clans, and they were presented to Ju Gong together, hoping that Ju Mao would find back the family property.
After hearing this, Ju Mao recognized his face, and then approached the front of Zhuang and said: "Zhu Mao, when I saw your old man, the veteran knew that the roots of the Zhuang clan were already bad!" ”
Xuan Qi looked at the old general Ju standing in front of him with a knife, and suddenly his face collapsed and said, "Old lady, old lady, don't ...... Don't, you know that you are wrong, you know that you are wrong, you don't want those lands, I don't want them...... Don't ...... anymore."
"It's over!" As soon as the words fell, Ju Mao's hand rose and fell, and he killed the clan leader of the Zhuang clan, the guest of the Wuguo court.
Zhao Jing's eyes changed, and then he looked at Emperor Wu above, but when he saw the latter shaking his head and signaling him not to act rashly, Zhao Jing held down his sword and stood at the bottom of the steps.
Seeing this, Lin Yuyan's face was calm, and he continued to read the silk book and said: "The Qi clan has more than 70 houses, more than 27,000 acres of land, another 5,000 acres of mulberry fields, and 3,000 acres of hunting grounds. ”
"Old lady, the Qi family is the outer branch of the Ju family, please ...... The old lady spared a life, spared a life! ”
Ju Mao's face frowned, but he kicked on the body of the clan leader and said, "Spare your life!" When you fled from the Gou clan, did you ever think of sparing a life for the Ju clan and the Gou clan! ”
"Old lady, old lady, I was wrong, I was wrong...... You will spare my life, and when I go back to Jianyang, I will go to see the ancestral grave for the Ju family, and see it for the rest of my life...... Watch for a lifetime! ”
Ju Mao looked at this person's face and frowned, because he found that this person always flowed out of filth, didn't say much nonsense, and directly stabbed again, looking at the blood flowing out and said: "People like you look at the grave, Lao Tzu is afraid of breaking the feng shui in the clan!" ”
Disposed of the two of them one after another, Ju Mao didn't know why, he looked weak, waved his hand and said to Lin Yuyan, who missed him again: "I'm old, I'm old, I can't move it anymore, put them in prison, and it's not too late to deal with them when Lao Tzu recovers his strength!" ”
However, Ju Mao still turned his head to look at the courtiers and said, "Who has a discussion?!" ”
Ju Mao's murderous aura broke out, and Lin Yuyan suddenly discovered that the murderous aura of the old man Ju today was several times stronger than that of himself in Jufu that day, I am afraid that ordinary people will shake into chaff without the slightest intention to fight when they encounter this kind of murderous aura on the battlefield.
Sure enough, Ju Mao's murderous aura shrouded in one person, and the entire Xuanzheng Hall was silent, even Emperor Wu who was seated was also pale, it was obvious that this was jealous of the murderous aura released by Ju Mao, Zhao Jing moved two positions, just blocking Emperor Wu's sight to look at Ju Mao, and Emperor Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
