Chapter 370: Deposing Lin Shangshu

The willow treetops are like scissors, and the spring sun is like a warm spring. The weather is good, but the hearts of the people are not very happy. On the street, the people were wearing plain clothes, and a few of the pious people were wearing sackcloth.

The mourning and the crying are endless.

The people on the street, along the unknown street a few days ago, carried heavy sadness, and wept step by step. A few people who were not circulating in the news, who couldn't understand it, grabbed one who didn't look so sad, and quickly asked, "What's going on?" Could it be that some important person has passed away? ”

The person who was caught described the old Taoist priest's feat of asking the sky for the people and exchanging his golden body in Kyushu with oil and vinegar. The onlookers didn't know about it, as if they were there. Emotions with the safety of the old Taoist priest, hearing that the old Taoist priest finally faded into a mortal body and turned into a god, secretly surprised, but also sighed that he did something out yesterday, but he didn't see it here with his own eyes.

There is no regret medicine in the world, but there is a way to make up for regrets. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can say that you have seen it with your own eyes. Thinking of it, tears fell from the embankment and entered the memorial procession. In the future, at the dinner table, there will be more capital to show off. Thinking about those admiring eyes, I can't help but feel beautiful, and the tears are not so realistic.

The queue is like a dragon, and the small streets can't accommodate it. The final destination is already there, which is the banks of the Xiaoliu River. That place is the place where the first miracle appeared, and recently there was a homicide, and the place where the old Taoist priest rested for a long time can absorb the blessings of the miracle and suppress the unjust soul left by the murder case.

The riverside was overcrowded at this time, changing the usual sparsely populated situation, and the spring sun just drilled out of the grass tip, almost being trampled by a pair of shoes, but fortunately they were vigorous.

The golden body is to be worshiped in the new temple ** incense, and what is buried today is actually the blood-stained Taoist robe of the old Taoist. A young man had already broken through the turf and dug a mud pit where the coffin was put down. At this time, the four big men came over with the coffin that was put in the clothes of the old Taoist priest, and slowly let the coffin lie in the mud pit.

The coffin was originally bought by the people as a joint venture, but the businessmen like iron roosters in the city were much more generous this time, and they contracted all the money for today at once. For the sake of the people, the old Taoist chief has only one board left in the coffin under him, and he should also return one.

"The oracle has arrived."

Just as the young men picked up the shovels to bury them, a voice suddenly came from not far away. Everyone looked back and saw that a rather luxurious sedan chair was being carried this way, and the sedan chair was followed by ironclad guards on both sides.

The sedan chair stopped, and an old man dressed as a eunuch came out.

The old eunuch was served by King Chen's side, and he was quite favored, and many officials in the court and China welcomed him. He opened his steps, walked this way, and recited aloud the holy oracle in front of the people: "The edict says: The Taoist chief is kind to my dynasty, and he should be treated as a national teacher, and he should be posthumously crowned as a great teacher." Temples were built in various parts of the Quasi-Chen Kingdom to worship in order to consolidate the immortal position of the Taoist chief. ”

Ordinary people didn't know how to thank them, and the old eunuch couldn't wait for the beautiful scene of everyone kneeling down and saluting, so he was a little stunned, but he didn't dare to make a mistake. He knew that His Majesty King Chen trusted this immortal old Taoist priest very much, and if he disturbed the old Taoist priest's underground sleep, his head might have to move.

He had no choice but to accept the oracle, get on the sedan chair and leave.

The ministers in the palace came to see him, and King Chen sat alone on the throne and looked down on everyone.

He waved his long sleeves and said: "The city has been boiling in the past few days, what do you think about what happened, please be frank." ”

The first to come out was the old man with red eyes: "Your Majesty, the thing that has made Weichen's heart boil the most recently is the death of his young son." The minister is an official of the imperial court, but there are villains who dare to kill people and throw his body, and let him be found by a beggar in the wilderness. The minister begs His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Lin Shangshu had hatred in his eyes, staring at Chen Baichuan who was quiet not far away.

This is obviously not the purpose of King Chen's convening ceremony today, King Chen frowned, and said in his heart that this old book is really not interesting. It is not easy for Chen Baichuan to let go of his hatred and not to hold Lao Shangshu responsible. What else does this old guy want to do?

Thinking that he was just a beloved son, and he didn't know anything about Lin Yongzhi's collusion with Qing thieves, King Chen still suppressed the idea of abolishing his official position. Those words just now were just taken as if they had not been heard. With an earnest face, he looked at the other courtiers in the hall, waiting for someone to come out and speak.

Unexpectedly, Lao Shangshu was very ignorant, so he took off the official hat on his head and slowly put it on the ground. The man fell to his knees and said nothing.

Shang Shu is the central official of Zheng Erpin, and he made such a low posture as resigning, and Rao is King Chen couldn't get away with it anyway, so he had to pay attention to it. His Majesty King Chen held back his anger and asked, "Why is this Lin Aiqing, just have something to say." ”

Lin Shangshu was also stubborn, and copied the words that were ignored by King Chen just now: "Chen Shicai said: The old minister is an official of the imperial court, but there are gangsters who dare to kill his son and throw his body, and let him be found by beggars in the wilderness. The minister begs His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

"You!"

"If Your Majesty already has partiality in your heart, and your courtier's heart is cold, this Shang Shulang's position, please choose another high-ranking talent." Lin Shangshu is righteous and awe-inspiring.

King Chen grabbed the armrest of the throne, and the green tendons on his arms had already burst out, and he said: "The matter of your young child has already been ordered by the Criminal Department to investigate thoroughly, it is nothing more than bandits hurting people, what else do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have been an official for more than 30 years, and now that you are older, you can no longer serve Your Majesty, and you can no longer serve Chen Guo. Please beg for bones, and hope that Your Majesty will grant permission. ”

Hearing his resignation, King Chen was not angry this time, he squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised: "The widow is gracious." ”

Lao Shangshu raised his head suddenly, a little incredulous, his thirty years of ups and downs in officialdom are about to end today? However, as soon as the words came out, the literati's backbone was so overwhelming that he didn't dare to bow his head, so he had to puff out his chest and say, "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

When I got up and stepped aside, a few tears oozed from the corners of my eyes.

"Your Majesty, please think again. Lao Shangshu has been in the court for many years, even if he has no merit, he has hard work. Just for today's quarrel in the court, he was dismissed from his position, which is too unkind. ”

"Yes, Lao Shangshu, you also apologize to Your Majesty, you didn't mean to collide with Your Majesty just now."

There are still a few people among the ministers who are not afraid of the authority of the Chen family, but they are Lin Shangshu's disciples or friends, and they all came out to persuade Lin Shangshu to bow his head at this time. It's just that Lin Shangshu is an old scholar, and he cherishes the word "fame" the most, if he bows his head today, I'm afraid that his reputation for decades will be ruined.

Moreover, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that His Majesty would not be deceived by the Chen brothers and make a fair execution of him.
