Since the closure of the forbidden army, the past three days have been very peaceful.

Now Li Yan has led the army to station in the southern border counties to prevent the southern thieves from harming Chengdu, and the taxation, conscription and various affairs of the court have been carried out in an orderly manner under the management of Zhuge Liang.

At this time, it was early in the morning, with the arrival of autumn, even the wind was a lot cooler, but Liu Chan was wearing an imperial crown and an imperial robe today, standing calmly in front of the steps in front of the palace, looking at the gradually rising sun.

"They're supposed to be back soon!" Liu Chan muttered to himself.

At this time, Huang Hao, who was next to him, was wearing an orthodox eunuch yellow robe, leaned behind Liu Chan, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the time for the court is almost up." ”

Liu Chan nodded, glanced at Zhao Tong who was wearing a military robe with a straight face beside him, and said, "Zhao Tong." ”

"The last general!" In the past few days, Zhao Tongyi has been directly following Liu Chan's side, although he still doesn't know what Liu Chan is suddenly forbidding the city.

"Go and arrest Jiang Qing, the mansion will be thoroughly investigated, and if there is any resistance, you will be killed!" Liu Chan squinted his eyes and said word by word.

"Yes!"

Although Zhao Tong was puzzled, he still saluted and hurriedly ran outside the palace.

Looking at the back of Zhao Tong running away, Liu Chan exhaled deeply the cool air of the morning, and said calmly: "Go, go to the court!" ”

Huang Hao hurriedly responded and led Liu Chan towards the main hall of the palace.

At this time, on the palace hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs had already stood in line, accustomed to waiting for Liu Chan's arrival, and then waiting for Liu Chan to sit down and everyone saluted, and then reported to Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan walked calmly to the main hall, and sat firmly on the throne on the main hall with Huang Hao's support.

"Your Majesty!" All the officials bowed in unison.

"Excuse me." Liu Chan waved his hand gently.

"Do you have something to do?" Liu Chan asked calmly.

All the officials of His Highness bowed their heads, and no one meant to speak.

At this time, it was the usual law of going to the court, so the officials did not speak, because they knew that His Majesty was about to say that he was about to withdraw from the court.

Liu Chan still calmly looked at His Highness's bowed civil and military officials, and said, "Since Zhongqing has nothing to do, then I have something to do with Zhongqing." ”

Liu Chan's voice was very calm, coupled with that slightly heroic face, his voice was like a clear wind, blowing through the ears of His Royal Highness's Minister of Martial Affairs, but it also revealed a burst of resoluteness and majesty.

The ministers raised their heads slightly, and looked at Liu Chan, who was kneeling and sitting on the immature face in the hall in front of them, full of doubts, but as long as Zhuge Liang, who was at the forefront of the civil officials, and Zhao Yun, who was at the forefront of the military attachés, lowered their heads, they seemed to be pondering something.

Liu Chan in the hall also saw everyone's reactions, especially Zhuge Liang, who had been hanging his head and shaking a feather fan in front of him, which made him frown slightly on his face that could not see any joy or sorrow on the other party.

However, now that the words have been spoken, although Liu Chan doesn't know what Zhuge Liang is thinking now, he still takes a deep breath and stands up directly.

"I left the palace a few days ago, and I guess Zhongqing also knows." Liu Chan looked at the officials who were still bowing their heads and were silent, and then said: "Just a few days ago, the friend I met outside the palace came to me and cried to me, saying that our ministers in the court and the central government confiscated their grain for no reason, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

As soon as Liu Chan's words fell, the military attachés on the side looked like the queue on the civilian side, after all, the civilian officials were in charge of the tax burden, and the civil ministers also looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Liu Chan ignored His Royal Highness's somewhat commotion officials, but walked directly to Zhuge Liang and said, "Father, I don't know if you know about this?" ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang put down the feather fan in his hand, looked up at Liu Chan in front of him calmly, and said, "Yes, the matter of requisitioning grain is indeed responsible for the minister." ”

"Ao" Liu Chan seemed to be thinking about it, and nodded slowly, "In that case, why don't you call my two friends here, and let's testify?" ”

Liu Chan looked like he was asking Zhuge Liang for instructions, but there was a hint of resoluteness in his eyes.

"If those two friends falsely accuse our court officials, then as for how to punish them, my father will naturally have the final say." Liu Chan paused when he said this, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "If there are really people in our court who dare to collect grain privately, then no matter whether the father goes around him or not, I will not spare him!" ”

Zhuge Liang still half-squinted his eyes, paused for a moment, suddenly looked up at Liu Chan, and said, "It should be so." ”

"Good!"

As soon as the sleeve robe was raised, Liu Chan roared: "Pass Shen Feng to me, and the big pillar will go to the hall!" ”

"Your Majesty spread Shen Feng, the big pillar goes to the hall!" Huang Hao hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat.

After a while, Shen Feng and Dazhu walked to the main hall in a little panic, although Shen Feng was steady, but looking at the ministers of civil and military affairs in front of him, he was also a little flustered in his heart, and Dazhu lowered his head and pulled the corners of Shen Feng's clothes and didn't dare to say a word.

The civil and military officials also looked at Shen Feng and Dazhu like hillbillies, and a trace of contempt flashed in their eyes.

"Bold, don't salute when you see Your Majesty!" Looking at the panicked two, Huang Hao looked serious, although he also knew the two, but after all, this was upward, and there were so many ministers of civil and military affairs watching, he had to follow the rules.

Huang Hao's words were like a soul-fixing bell, and the two people who rang it retracted their souls, and hurriedly bowed: "The grass people see the emperor!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Liu Chan put his hands behind his back, flicked off his robe, and said, "Shen Feng, Dazhu, I ask you, is there anyone who went to Qiangzhai to collect grain!" ”

"Yes." Shen Feng said calmly.

"Oh?" Liu Chan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was still silent, and continued: "Who is it?" ”

"It's Jiang Qing." Shen Feng didn't know who this person was, but after Liu Chan's prompt a few days ago, he replied directly and firmly.

"Jiang Qing?" Liu Chan glanced at the ministers who were standing with their heads bowed, and asked, "Which one is Jiang Aiqing?" ”

Officials, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, but Jiang Wan, who was standing behind Zhuge Liang, looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, and then walked out of the queue and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Jiang Qing is the nephew of the lower officials." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Jiang's nephew." Liu Chan nodded in a sudden realization, and then asked, "Then isn't this Master Jiang's nephew here?" ”

"Your Majesty, he's not here." Jiang Wan nodded and replied honestly.

Liu Chan still nodded, and said lightly: "Then go and pass on Master Jiang Qing Jiang and let him give me an explanation." ”

"Pass on Jiang Qing, Lord Jiang." Huang Hao shouted again.

After a while, a few soldiers carried a big fat man, and Lang Lang staggered into the main hall.

Jiang Qing was indeed a little overwhelmed by the fact that he was suddenly brought by soldiers at home, but now that he saw that his uncle and Prime Minister Zhuge were in the main hall, he also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Jiang Qingcai slowly raised his head, looked at the handsome young man in the emperor's robe in front of him, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed: "Subordinate, long live my emperor." ”

Liu Chan put his hands behind his back, looked at the round fat man in front of him with interest, and said, "You are Jiang Qing?" ”

"It's Xiaguan." Jiang Qing lowered his head and replied honestly.

Liu Chan nodded, waved his sleeves and said, "Aiqing, please get up." ”

"Thanks! Your Majesty! Jiang Qing seemed to be a little excited because Liu Chan called him Aiqing.

Liu Chan looked at Jiang Qing, who struggled to get up, and then asked, "Jiang Aiqing, I ask you, do you have such a thing when you go to Qiangzhai to collect grain?" ”

Jiang Qing lowered his head and glanced at his uncle slightly, only to see Jiang Wan nodding slightly, then he settled down in his heart, thinking that His Majesty must be rewarding him, and hurriedly replied: "It was Weichen who went to Qiangzhai to collect grain!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan smiled, then stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Feng and Dazhu next to him and said, "Then these two must know Aiqing too, right?" ”

Jiang Qing looked at Liu Chan's fingers suspiciously, but when he went to collect grain, there were so many people in the Qiang tribe, how could he pay attention to these two men who were not women, so he shook it lightly and said, "I don't know the minister." ”

"But they know Aiqing! I also heard that Aiqing also lost three soldiers in the Qiang tribe? Liu Chan was still smiling, as if he was chatting with Jiang Qing.

"Ahh

Originally, it was the three gangsters who died, Jiang Qing didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect His Majesty to care so much, and his heart was moved, and then he looked at the two people in front of him, and thought to himself Could it be that His Majesty caught these two Qiang people and wanted to punish them severely, so let himself testify.

Thinking about his uncle's affirmative eyes just now, and then thinking about His Majesty's affectionate name for him, Jiang Qing felt more and more that his idea was right, but he forgot that his uncle didn't know that he had embezzled so much grain privately.

Jiang Qing thought of this, and then looked at His Majesty, who was so considerate to him, and his heart was excited again, trembling with some tears spilling out of his little eyes, and said, "Your Majesty is still aware of everything!" It was these bold Qiang people who killed three soldiers, and Your Majesty has to call the shots for the lower officials! ”

"You're bold!" Liu Chan's face suddenly became cold, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Qing looked at Liu Chan's suddenly discolored face, his mouth was open, confused, and his heart suddenly felt like he had been stabbed with an awl.

Liu Chan naturally didn't care about Jiang Qing, who was stunned, and said word by word: "Who told you to go to the Qiang tribe to collect grain?" Could it be that the first emperor did not collect the grain of the Qiang people in the past, so that you have forgotten? ”

"This" Jiang Qing was speechless for a while, and looked at his uncle helplessly.

"Okay, Your Majesty, leave this matter to the minister."

When the hundred officials were talking to each other, and there was a slight commotion in the hall, a calm voice sounded, and all the hundred officials immediately stood up straight and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of them, because the calm voice just now came from Zhuge Liang's mouth.

"Hehehe." Liu Chan smiled, squinted his eyes and asked, "I really want to hear what Father Xiang wants to do?" Do you want to teach Jiang Aiqing a lesson? ”

"This" Jiang Qing grinned, looked at His Majesty with a smile on his face, and then looked at the prime minister with a calm face, and was even more aggrieved and speechless.

"The minister will naturally give a satisfactory explanation to the Qiang people." Zhuge Liang is still light-hearted.

"No need, let me give an explanation to the Qiang people." Liu Chan stared at Zhuge Liang and said with a resolute expression.

Zhuge Liang raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Someone is coming." ”

Although Zhuge Liang's voice was calm, Zhao Tong in front of the door still hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister." Zhao Tong held the short sword in his hand and saluted the two with a straight face.

"Send Your Majesty back to the palace." Zhuge Liang never looked at Liu Chan again, and said calmly.

Zhao Tong looked up at Liu Chan, but Liu Chan looked up and laughed.

"Hahaha." Liu Chan laughed a few times, then stared at Zhuge Liang and said: "Father, I can't return to the palace yet, Zhong Aiqing is my courtiers, but the people of the Qiang clan are also my courtiers, since I am still this emperor, then I have to give them an explanation." ”

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Tong and said, "Zhao Tong, what was found in Jiang Qing's house, report it to me, and let all Aiqing listen to it." ”

"Yes!"

After Zhao Tong finished speaking, he took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Today, the ministers have been ordered by His Majesty, and three granaries of grain have been found in Jiang Qing's house, and the specific number is still under investigation, more than 50 pieces of gold and jade utensils, and a group of rebellious ruffians in the courtyard, and the ministers have been corrected on the spot, a total of seventy-six people."

Liu Chan kept squinting his eyes, as if he couldn't see any change from his calm face, while all the ministers in the hall were talking to each other and pointing at Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing's face turned completely pale, and he was stunned in the hall, and under the cool breeze, his head kept sweating.

After Zhao Tong finished reporting, he closed the bamboo slips, handed them to Liu Chan and said, "Please take a look at Your Majesty." ”

Liu Chan stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip, looked at Jiang Qingdao and said, "Jiang Aiqing, what else do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Qing reacted at this time, opened his mouth, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head and cried bitterly: "The minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister knows that he is wrong." ”

"Good!" Liu Chan looked at Jiang Qingdao in front of him and said, "Just admit your guilt!" Pull it out and cut it! ”

"Wait!" Zhuge Liang snorted, "Your Majesty, let the ministers deal with this matter!" ”

"Yes! Ask Your Majesty to be merciful and bypass your nephew's life! At this time, Jiang Wan also knelt down, although he heard that Jiang Qing was so greedy, and he hated it very much, but after all, it was his own nephew.

"Jiang Qing was corrupt and bent the law and collected grain taxes privately, since he did it, he had to think about the price! Zhong Aiqing does not have to intercede. Liu Chan's eyes were cold, and he said word by word.

"Yes!" Zhao Tong replied in a deep voice.

"You dare!" Zhuge Liang finally frowned at this time under Liu Chan's resolute order.

"Why don't I dare!" Liu Chan also stared at Zhuge Liang without giving an inch, and then walked in front of Jiang Qing.

"Your Majesty spares my life, Uncle Prime Minister save me!" Jiang Qing still kept kowtowing and begging for mercy with a cold face.

Liu Chan didn't pay attention to Jiang Qing's plea for mercy at all, reached out and grabbed Jiang Qing's robe, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he snorted, and directly lifted Jiang Qing, the fat man.

Jiang Qing instinctively wanted to struggle, but his huge body couldn't break free of Liu Chan's thin arm, at this time, all the officials were also surprised to see Liu Chan's thin body actually lifted the fat Jiang Qing with one hand, especially the military attachés, looking at this young and thin majesty, suddenly an inexplicable respect rose in their hearts!

Just when all the officials were surprised, it seemed that time had also stood still, only Liu Chan's other hand didn't know when there was a long knife with cold light, only to see Liu Chan wave the emperor's robe, and suddenly a bright light flickered from the eyes of the hundred officials, and before everyone could come to their senses, they heard the sound of the city that seemed to be like cutting wood.

"Poof!"

The dull voice sounded, Jiang Qing didn't even have time to scream, his whole body convulsed and fell, but Liu Chan's hand had an extra bloody head, and drops of blood were still spilling from the skull to penetrate the cowhide carpet in the hall.

"Ahh

Looking at Jiang Qing's head in Liu Chan's hand, Jiang Wan fainted directly, and some of the civil officials couldn't help but tremble, only the military attachés on the other side looked at Liu Chan more and more full of respect.

Liu Chan lifted Jiang Qing's head, looked at Zhuge Liang and suddenly gritted his teeth lightly and smiled, "Father, do you say Adou dare?" ”

"You!" Zhuge Liang's face was also pale now, and he was speechless when he looked at Liu Chan.

At this moment, a loud roar was remembered outside the main hall.

"Newspaper"

A soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "General Chen Zhi of Yong'an City has sent an urgent report!" ”

"Read!"

"Yong'an City Chen arrives, I hope Your Majesty will be in power!"

There was an uproar among the hundreds of officials, but at this moment, another soldier hurried over.

"General Wei Yan, the commander of Hanzhong County, sent an urgent report!"

"Read!"

"Hanzhong County guards Wei Yan, I hope Your Majesty will be in power!"

The hundreds of officials listened to these two urgent reports from different places but had the same content, and then looked at the young majesty in front of them and the head in their hands, and their faces finally turned pale.

At this time, Zhuge Liang finally knew the purpose of this majesty, but he never expected that this majesty, who was just a child in his eyes, would have such courage.

"Hehehe."

Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly, laughed miserably, ignored everyone, and walked out of the hall with staggering steps.

Zhuge Liang left, and the hundreds of officials didn't dare to go, but their faces were a little stunned, and they were indeed stunned, because today's events were too sudden, especially this His Majesty, who they had always thought was a vase, made them too surprised.

At this moment, a young civil official quietly walked out of the civil official column and bowed to Liu Chan: "My emperor Shengming, the ministers also support Your Majesty's personal government!" ”

Liu Chan turned his head and glanced at this civil official, although he didn't know this civil official yet, but today this civil official was the first to stand up and support him, Liu Chan still looked at it a few more times.

At this time, the stunned officials came back to their senses, although Liu Chan didn't know himself, but all the officials knew that this person was Ma Tan, and they all secretly scolded themselves in their hearts for not being clever enough, and the opportunity to perform such a good performance actually let Ma Tan rob him.

Everyone secretly scolded and scolded, but no one was stupid, and hurriedly saluted Liu Chan and said: "The ministers support Your Majesty's pro-government!" ”

The dull voices of the officials resounded throughout the palace hall, and Liu Chan became calm in this sea of sounds.

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, put Jiang Qing's head in Zhao Tong's hands and said, "Bury him!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Tong picked up Jiang Qing's head, and ordered the soldiers to lift Jiang Qing's body, and then ordered the soldiers to pick up Jiang Wan, who had fainted, and retreated.

"Retreat!"

At this time, Liu Chan didn't look at the hundreds of officials anymore, holding his long knife in his hand, and walked out of the hall.

"Retreat from the dynasty", and then Huang Hao's sharp voice resounded in the palace hall of the entire Han Kingdom
