Chapter 56 Emperor Heng sinned himself

Xu Mingyuan, the head of the hundred officials, expressed his attitude, and then it was the turn of the other courtiers to shout long live together, and the order retreated. It's a normal process, but there's something wrong with it today.

Just as the ministers were about to kneel down and receive the order, one of them suddenly spoke.

"The minister has a plan to solve this crisis."

The person who spoke was Zhu Zhang, the waiter of the Criminal Department, a serious old man who did not smile on weekdays. This person is not very capable, but he has more seniority. Therefore, he is in the position of a waiter in the Criminal Department, who is a three-grade person, with Shangshu on top and subordinates on top. Although Zhu Zhang has few merits, he has few faults. In the blink of an eye, his ass had been in this position for years.

Emperor Qinghua saw Zhu Zhang stand up and offer advice, although he knew that his talent was insufficient, but thinking that a blind cat could touch a dead mouse, he asked him to tell the strategy to solve the crisis.

"Zhu Qing, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Zhu Zhang, the bad old man, changed his original decadent appearance, and his gestures had a sense of confidence, which made Emperor Qinghua expect more from him. I saw him say:

"The people listen to rumors, and the root of this is that they don't trust Your Majesty. And their trust in His Majesty is mainly due to the roar of the sacrifice to the heavens, which makes the people think that His Majesty has a loss of virtue and has been punished by heaven. The minister thought that His Majesty could issue an edict to sin against himself and ask the heavens for his guilt......"

Zhu Zhang's mouth is like a river, gushing endlessly. Other officials, including the prime minister, were impressed by him. This old man's plan is feasible.

What Zhu Zhang said was actually to ask Emperor Qinghua to ask God for forgiveness, and God forgave him, and the people would naturally have a little more trust in Emperor Qinghua in their hearts.

Xu Mingyuan thought it was feasible, nodded again and again, and the ministers also agreed. But Huang Qingyun, the king of the side, looked at them coldly and didn't say a word.

This plan can indeed win the hearts and minds of the people, but it is like a double-edged sword, which is both beneficial and harmful. The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages only damage the majesty of the royal family, which makes Huang Qingyun and Huang Qinghua disgusted.

Although Huang Qingyun has broken down with Emperor Qinghua in recent years, he still belongs to the Daheng royal family. At such times, it is not appropriate to take into account personal vendettas.

The king of the side by side usually grinned and smiled, and he couldn't see the royal majesty. At this moment, his face turned cold, majestic and majestic, and his face was fierce, which made all the ministers awe-inspired, and they did not dare to echo Zhu Zhang's words.

The king asked Zhu Zhang: "As a courtier of Daheng, can you take into account the royal face in this plan?" ”

The other party wears the hat of "side by side with me", and his official position is just a small squire of the criminal department. Zhu Zhang is a treacherous old man who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, where does he dare to attack him? He was submissive, and he couldn't say all the words: "I ...... This ......"

Therefore, it is also a chore to say that the head of the group of ministers is also a chore, and while enjoying the rights and interests of commanding hundreds of officials, he cannot watch the officials under his command being "bullied". Xu Mingyuan straightened his waist and looked directly at the king side by side, he was also upright, and his momentum was not inferior to the side by side king. This also invisibly supported the officials who were "afraid" of the king's authority.

Xu Mingyuan said bluntly: "Dare to ask the prince, should our officials work hard for the people of Daheng, or for the royal family?" Is royal dignity important, or is Daheng too safe and healthy? The prince is a knowledgeable person, and if you want to come to the answer, you know it in your heart. ”

The side by side Wang's expression was even more ugly, but Xu Mingyuan's words involved righteousness, and he was not easy to answer. had no choice but to mock: "The prime minister really understands the righteousness, and this king admires it very much." ”

Xu Mingyuan ignored the ridicule in his words, turned his head to Zhu Zhang and encouraged: "Zhu Shilang, let me tell you what you think thoroughly, if it is feasible, with Your Majesty's sage, I will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds." ”

was slapped by Xu Mingyuan, but Emperor Qinghua was not happy. Today's Xu Mingyuan is really abnormal, even if he is usually opposed to the royal family, he will not be so direct. Combined with the trouble caused by "Heaven and Man Induction", how could Emperor Qinghua not be suspicious of himself, the powerful Aiqing? Dare to face your brother today, what about tomorrow?

Zhu Zhang got Xu Mingyuan's support, and he still spoke hesitantly, but finally finished his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, foolishly thinking that the edict against oneself is obviously undermining the majesty of His Majesty, but in fact, this move can highlight His Majesty's noble character of being wise and strict with himself. When the people know that His Majesty knows his mistakes, they will change them, and they will inevitably trust His Majesty more. ”

The ministers exchanged heads.

"Yes, what Zhu Shilang said today is reasonable."

"It can appease the people, and it will not compromise the majesty of His Majesty, this plan is feasible."

"Zhu Zhang'er has been enlightened by immortals, so he has this opinion!"

"Not really."

Some people think that Zhu Zhang's plan is very good, some speculate that Zhu Zhang met the immortals, and some think that Zhu Zhang took the pill of enlightenment. There is only one opinion, and this plan is feasible.

After listening to all of Zhu Zhang's words, Emperor Qinghua still felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but he also thought that this plan was feasible.

There is no need to hesitate at the moment, and Emperor Qinghua immediately decided: "Order all the soldiers to inform the people that I will issue an edict against myself, and pray for forgiveness." ”

"Your Majesty."
