Chapter 91: Prelude to the Temple

The second day is the morning pilgrimage time. There is a Qin dynasty, which stipulates that the court will be made in the morning on the fifth day, and the officials will go to the various departments to be on errands on weekdays, and only on the sixth day of every month will they rush to the front of the Chengtianmen before the time to wait for the court. When the dignitaries who live far away get up, lest they miss the hour and be caught by the picket Yushi.

At this time, there was still a quarter of an hour before the opening of the Chengtian Gate in Youshi, and the Beijing officials above the fourth rank of Great Qin, as well as the princes over the age of eighteen, had all arrived, waiting there for the court. If it was in the past, it must have been neatly lined up in two shifts, standing quietly without saying a word.

But today, the civil and military officials stood in several groups, gathered together and exchanged ears, as if they were not afraid of the small reports of the imperial history. The reason is very simple, the picket Yushi also stood aside, pricking up his ears to listen to something, which was not at all like the way people were not approached in the past.

The ministers who talked about these conversations, if you look closely, can be divided into three circles. Most of the generals gathered around a mighty old man wearing a purple python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden lion painted on his chest, discussing something with an angry face. Most of the ministers stood beside a flowing old man who was also in a purple python robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a crane painted on his chest, and looked at the group of military attachΓ©s from time to time gloating.

There are obviously fewer people in the third circle, there are civil servants and military generals, surrounded by the prince who is dressed in bright yellow, and when they see the prince's eyes, nose and heart, they have no choice but to be honest.

At this time, a drum sounded, and the five-zhang high Chengtian Giant Gate slowly opened with a huge creaking friction sound.

The civil and military officials stopped talking, lined up in two columns, and entered the Chengtianmen, Taihemen, and the Qingyun Road in an orderly manner under the leadership of the crown prince, and entered the magnificent Xuanzheng Hall along Qingyun Road.

The officials stood according to their ranks, and the prince stood under the dragon chair. After a while, with a high-pitched "The emperor has arrived at the ......", Emperor Zhaowu, dressed in a nine-clawed nine-dragon robe, walked out of the dragon walking tiger step out of the royal gate on the side of the dragon chair. The civil and military officials said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... and knelt down under the leadership of the prince.

However, Li Hun, the head of the military attache on the right, did not kneel, and Wen Yanbo, the head of the civil officials on the left, did not kneel, and the two just bowed deeply.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Zhaowu's narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed, and then sat down expressionlessly, and the old eunuch behind him shouted: "Flat body......"

After the hundred officials got up, the old eunuch shouted in a long voice: "If there is something to do, go out of class and play early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat from the court." ”

First of all, there was a report from the Ministry of Households, Tian Minnong, and there was a shortage of silver taels in all parts of the river workers, totaling 8 million taels of silver, if it could not be in place in time, the spring plowing and summer floods of the coming year would be a problem.

In addition, the right attendant of the household department came out to report that the earthquake in the north last month affected the land of the two provinces, and the governors of the two provinces jointly requested that the money and grain for the coming year be exempted, and asked for the allocation of 3 million taels of silver for disaster relief.

In addition, Li Yijiang, the left attendant of the military department, came out to report that the divisions from all over the country returned to the garrison one after another, and it was estimated that a total of 2 million taels of silver would be burned for various pensions.

Emperor Zhaowu already knew these figures, but he was still irritable when he heard them, and said unhappily: "Write an excerpt on this matter, and I will make plans after discussing it with Prime Minister Taiwei." ”

The three of them retreated, and at this time, Yin Qin Shou of Kyoto Prefecture came out and said loudly: "Qi Song Shengshang, there was a bloody case in Kyoto yesterday, the number of participants was as high as 100, and 11 people died, because the two parties involved in the case involved the Tiance Army and the Heavenly Family. Weichen asked the Taiwei Mansion and the Zongren Mansion to investigate the matter. ”

Qin Lei, who was hiding behind the curtain, was secretly speechless, this Lord Qin opened his mouth, and reduced the number of people by ninety percent at once, and suddenly a riot turned into a bloody case. I guess that's the official statement.

~~~~~~~~~

Last night, the crown prince sent someone to inform him that he would defend himself at the court meeting today. Originally, he was arranged to listen to the announcement in the corner room, but this young master ran here. Behind Qin Lei was a row of golden-armored guards, ignoring him.

The Kyoto Mansion Yin outside said something again, and then he heard the old eunuch shouting at the top of his voice: "Qin Lei, the fifth prince of Xuan, enters the palace......"

Qin Lei hurriedly walked out lightly and re-entered through the main entrance of the main hall.

The officials on both sides looked at this handsome Fifth Prince curiously, most of them had seen him from a distance half a year ago, and it was the first time to observe him up close.

I saw that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with an ape back and a bee waist, and a straight body. The face is like a crown of jade, and the stars are shining. Two thick eyebrows go straight into the sideburns, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are tightly pursed. No matter who you are, you have to praise it: Da Qin is a good son.

Qin Lei came to the palace, and after saluting, he stood under the steps of His Majesty, looking indifferently at the military attaches who were glaring at him.

Emperor Zhaowu said to Yin of Kyoto Prefecture: "There is no need to bother Uncle Jia Wang in this matter, my son I can still manage it." Qin Shouzhuo, you can ask whatever you want. ”

Then he said to Qin Lei: "Little Wu, you have to answer truthfully." If there is a little lie, the family law will serve. ”

Hearing the word 'family law', the old lady who had been half-squinting and pretending to sleep opened his eyes slightly, looking at His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu, who was high above.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at him with the same expression. After a long time, Li Hun shook his head slightly, closed his eyes again, and wandered away.

Qin Fu Yin, who was eating dumplings for a blind man, saluted Qin Lei and said, "The lower official has a few questions, and now I am ordered by the emperor to ask His Highness." Can? ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Knowing everything, saying everything." ”

"May I ask which side of the provocation was the first between your family and the Tiance Army on the long street yesterday?" Qin Shou asked in a humble manner.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Lei immediately knew that this Qin Mansion Yin wanted to protect himself. If he asked the question of the slaughter of more than a hundred archers upside down, he would really be at a loss.

Qin Lei said with a cold face: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness's former subordinates were originally scheduled to come to His Highness's mansion to sit down. I went to Taozhu Street to buy gifts, let me ask Lord Qin, how could they take the initiative to make trouble? There are Taozhu Street people who can testify. ”

Qin Shouzhuo nodded and said, "Then why did the two sides conflict?" ”

Qin Lei said what Tie Ying said yesterday in the main hall, he was originally eloquent, and the matter was really indignant. In the hearts of everyone, Shi Yong suddenly became a tragic hero who was persecuted, and he couldn't help but feel good about several people in his heart. It's not useful now, but it may be the key to success in the future.

At the end, Qin Lei said with a choked voice: "It is these warriors who fought bloodily for the country that fell under the butcher's knife of their own people yesterday, with countless casualties. Father, Emperor and Brother, my lords, please give them justice! ”

After speaking, Qin Lei knelt straight in front of the emperor, his eyes red.

This pretentiousness annoyed a red-robed and gold-flowered fourth-rank general in the military attache column, and he jumped out irrily and said: "Your Fifth Highness is clever in your words, if you don't kill people, how can you attract the attack of my Tiance army?" The two sides tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of bow camps and crossbow arrows.

Qin Lei asked in a cold voice without looking back: "Dare to ask this lord, what punishment should be for insulting the royal family?" ”

General Sipin was speechless for a while, how could he know this.

Qin Lei got up and sneered: "If you don't know, just say it." Lord Qin, please teach this general with well-developed limbs. ”

Qin Shou crumbled in his heart, and said indifferently on his face: "The first rule of the Great Qin Law stipulates that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and no one can be insulted, and he will be punished by the nine clans. All emperors and queens, according to this law. The imperial concubine, the emperor's son, and the emperor's daughter touched the three clans. ”

Qin Lei sneered: "Do you understand? The soldier insulted His Highness first, and His Highness only killed him, and did not pursue his three clans. It's already a magnanimous act, how can it be used as a reason for your Tiance army to make trouble for no reason? ”

The general was so angry that his face turned purple, and he was about to have a seizure, when a middle-aged military general with a purple-robed honeysuckle belt came out and shouted: "Erhe retreats." ”

The military general who was called Erhe suddenly lost his temper and returned to the train angrily. The third-rank military general bowed his hand to Qin Lei and said, "Your Royal Highness, the last general Li Qing is polite. ”

Hearing this name, Qin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly. Tiance General Li Qing, the younger brother of Taiwei Li Hun, is the commander of the Tiance Army. Qin Lei arched his hand and snorted coldly: "It's been a long time, Lord Li." ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "Both parties are responsible for this matter, and it will be revealed." But there is one case, the iron rules of my Tiance Army for 500 years have been wantonly trampled on by His Royal Highness's subordinates, if you don't give an explanation, where is the supreme glory of my Shence Army for 500 years? Where is the raging anger of the 100,000 robes of my Tiance army? Where is the pious belief of the people of Great Qin? ”

Hearing these words, the yin between the supreme eyebrows on the dragon chair almost condensed into substance.
