Chapter 417: Your Majesty, the grass people are tired
In the embassy, the sudden death of the envoy of the Jin State undoubtedly added another firewood to the tense atmosphere between the two countries.
The envoys stationed in the country are a symbolic institution set up to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries, and now at the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven in the Song realm, the three chief and deputy envoys have been innocently slaughtered, which makes the originally restless capital once again cast a layer of haze.
In the next two days, Zhang Meng, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yue Lei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, were very busy, because there was no clue about the murder of the envoy of the Jinguo embassy in the capital.
If this matter is placed in normal times, it doesn't matter, as long as there is enough time, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out the clues?
But what is lacking now is time, and when this kind of incident happens at this very sensitive moment, Zhang Meng and Yue Lei are under great pressure.
In this regard, Xiaozong Zhao Yan accepted the advice of Yu Yunwen, Zhang Shuo and others, on the one hand, to strictly investigate the murder of the envoys of the Jin State, and on the other hand, to mobilize the garrisons of various states to prepare for the purpose of rushing to the border passes.
Prevention is better than prevention, which has always been the keen tentacle of the political family.
In the strict investigation of the murder of the envoy of the Jin State, Zhang Meng and Yue Lei then jointly recommended Ye Yu to investigate the case. Although the two sides are in different camps, they have reached a tacit consensus, which is also an extremely rare phenomenon.
This is a recognition of Ye Yu's ability, but the most important thing is that under this pressure, these two people thought of this way of shirking responsibility.
There are no good people in the court, and this sentence has been vividly reflected in the two of them again.
What is Ye Yu's identity? That is the emperor's godson, even if this case does not end up in the end, there will not be too harsh punishment.
And they are different, maybe they can't solve this case in the short term, and they will face the crisis of degrading their officials and losing their heads!
The two had an unprecedented tacit understanding, and they secretly said: "This matter is still up to you, Lord Ye, you are able to solve this case, and we will also have the merit of discerning recommendation at that time; If you can't, you are so favored by Your Majesty, just top the tank for the two of us! ”
The two of them have 'good intentions', Ye Yu should really be grateful!
Ye Yu has been grounded in the mansion for the past few days, and if it weren't for the joint recommendation of Yue Lei and Zhang Meng, he would not have been able to walk out of the Ye mansion lightly.
At the court meeting, the case of the murder of the envoy of the Jin State was once again put on the agenda.
"Ye Qingjia, about the killing of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, you must already know!" Xiaozong Zhao Yan looked down at Ye Yu with a calm face under the court, so he said very eagerly.
This is the first time that Ye Yu has been confined to the court for half a month, but this time he did not wear an official mansion or a wat board in his last court, but ranked in the court class in a plain green coat.
"The grass people have heard a little!"
"Uh......"
Xiaozong Zhao Yan was so choked by Ye Yu's words that he couldn't speak for a long time, he was so angry in his heart that his teeth itched, and he said that you are not in accordance with the rules of the cloth and go to the court, I know that you are doing this for me to see.
But everything has to have a degree, and it is too ignorant to call himself a grass man above this court!
So Zhao Yan suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The Qing family asked to resign, but I never approved it, and now the Qing family calls itself a grass citizen, do you know that you have committed the crime of defying the monarchy?" ”
At this time, if it were in the past, Zeng Di, Zhang Shuo and others would have already come out to take advantage of the situation to impeach. But now these people are all honestly silent, because at this time they need Ye Yu to solve the case.
Whether Song and Jin can resolve this war or not, in their opinion, the key lies in Ye Yu's alone.
As for the unexpected silence of Zhang Shuo, Zeng Di and others, Ye Yu was not too surprised, but felt a slight sigh in his heart.
These people all think that they are the key to the problem, but they don't know that the key to this problem is on the Fu King Zhao Zhuo.
Of course, Ye Yu didn't bother to say the mystery of this, but bowed down and saluted back: "Ye Yu is guilty, then ask His Majesty Xià Tianwei to punish and cut Ye Yu to set an example!" ”
"You! ......" Xiaozong Zhao Yan was so angry by Ye Yu's words that he immediately took the case, which was the most arrogant words he had ever heard.
As soon as Ye Yu said this, the entire court was suddenly dumbfounded, and everyone didn't expect Ye Yu to say this. Where is this sentence taking the initiative to confess guilt and beg for death, this is obviously openly arguing with today's majesty.
Everyone knows that Ye Yu was summoned to the temple today to discuss matters, and that is to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how can he really ask him for the crime?
But Ye Yu not only did not cooperate with the tacit understanding in this officialdom today, but instead acted in the opposite way and openly got into trouble with Zhao Yan, which was something that the ministers did not expect, and it was something that Xiaozong Zhao Yan had never encountered!
In the face of everyone's speechlessness, Ye Yu has been calm: "Your Majesty, the grass people have made up their minds, and they don't want to pay attention to all the things in the court, so I just ask Your Majesty to be lenient and let Ye Yu leave......"
"Ye Yu, do you really think that I won't punish you!?" The emperor has the prestige of the emperor in front of his subjects, Ye Yu is so disgraceful to Zhao Yan today, he dares to openly argue with him, which is obviously unbearable for Zhao Yan.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. If you want to punish a person, it is naturally right, don't say that the grass people are the righteous sons of the Majesty, even if they are their own father and son, they will be punished! ”
“……”
Xiaozong Zhao Yan was a little silent at this moment, because he could hear Ye Yu pronounce the words "biological father and son" very seriously, and he also clearly saw the complex feelings hidden in his eyes.
Zhao Yan, who looked a little stunned, sat back slowly, and then waved his hand and said: "As for the matter of peace with the Jin Kingdom, put it aside for the time being, but the case of the killing of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom is directly related to the border crisis of my Great Song Dynasty, Aiqing ......"
"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are the pillars of the country and the pillars of the society, so why should the grass people participate in vain?"
When Ye Yu said this, he rarely knelt down on the ground, but at this moment he knelt down solemnly: "Your Majesty, the grass people are tired!" ”
"You ...... the Qing family"
A sentence of tiredness, containing all kinds of emotions, everyone was silent at this moment......
At this moment, whether it is Yu Yunwen, Jiang Fu and others who support Ye Yu, or Zhang Shuo and Zeng Di, who are enemies of Ye Yu everywhere, they all inexplicably chose to be silent for a while.
A tired sentence, coming out of the mouth of a young man who was only twenty-two years old, it might feel extremely ridiculous to put it on other people's bodies, but it was extremely heavy on Ye Yu's body.
At the age of twenty-two, it can be said that the career of an official has just begun. There are even many people who are still worried about whether they can be admitted to the exam.
And the young man in front of him has already done something that these people can't achieve in their lives, which makes them feel very ashamed every time they think about it!
Tired! Maybe I'm really tired, and I should stop and rest after years of hard work......
