On the first day of the eighth month, the day of the routine early dynasty, it was also the day of the "duel" between Liu Hong and his opponents. Therefore, he came to the court early.

"This court has been boring for too long, take advantage of today's opportunity, I want to have a good time with them." Looking at those ministers, Liu Hong's excitement was not to mention, "Everyone, Aiqing, let's all be even." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers sat down, and the waiter next to them spoke, "There is a morning music, nothing to retreat!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a book." As soon as the waiter finished saying this, five or six ministers stood up at the same time and said.

"My day, these guys are too cooperative, and this time they finally have to play!" Seeing so many people standing up, Liu Hong immediately came to his senses, "Don't worry, let's say it one by one, anyway, we have time." ”

Hearing Liu Hong's words, those people glanced at each other, and one of them spoke, "Your Majesty, rumors are rampant in the capital now, saying that Luoyang City is blessed and cannot be the capital for a long time, otherwise there will be disasters and make people panic." Wechen begged His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the matter and severely punish the rumor-mongers in order to restore peace to the people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, those rumor-mongers are too hateful, I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely." As soon as he finished speaking, the others spoke together.

After hearing this, all the ministers of the DPRK and China knew that there was a good show to watch today. They all looked at Liu Hong, wanting to see how to deal with this matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not like you don't know that I don't sin people with words, and even make this a law. Now that things have not been clarified, you let me punish people severely, doesn't that make me go back on my word and violate the law? "Although he wants to have a good time, Liu Hong will not be truthful. So, he looked at the angry ministers. He smiled and said, "Of course, if you have evidence, someone really deliberately spread rumors and made a major impact, and I will not tolerate it." However, this must also be done according to the law. I believe that as long as you come up with evidence, the patrol room will accept it, and then Dali Temple will make a ruling, and you don't need to take it to the court to say it. ”

"If we had evidence, we would have arrested someone a long time ago." Unlike the satisfaction of other ministers. Hearing Liu Hong's words, don't mention the anger of these "oppositionists". However, Liu Hong is the emperor, and they have to hold back no matter how angry they are, so they said kindly: "Your Majesty, you also heard it." This is not an ordinary rumor, and now it has caused panic in the people of the capital. No more processing. Something big is going to happen. And Wechen and so on. I can't produce evidence, so I can only ask Your Majesty to call the shots above the court. ”

"Oh, since the matter is special, and you are also loyal to the country, then I will make an exception to ask." Seeing those ministers so cooperative. had to drill into the trap he set up, Liu Hong was secretly happy, and asked Liu Biao: "Jingsheng, you are in charge of the security department." What do you hear about this? ”

"Your Majesty, I have heard of this matter." Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Biao hurriedly stood up, "These remarks suddenly appeared five or six days ago, and because of the importance of the relationship, those patrols and arrests were reported as soon as possible." And Wechen also gave instructions to let the patrol find the source and pay close attention to the development of the situation. However, it happened suddenly, and the time was too short, and the source has not been found yet. However, the progress of the situation is not as serious as these adults said. Although many people talk about it, most people take it as a joke. ”

"How can it be regarded as a joke, Liu Shangshu, you are responsible for what you say!" The matter of moving the capital had already made those ministers have nowhere to vent their anger, and now that Liu Biao said this, they immediately stopped doing it, "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen is alarmist, you can go out and see for yourself, what those rumors have scared the people into, if you don't care anymore, something really will happen." ”

"Lord Wang, I'm not responsible for what I say." Hearing the other party's accusation, Liu Biaoke was anxious. Although he could understand their feelings, if this big hat really buckled his head, he would have to be guilty of negligence. He didn't want to suffer this kind of pond fish, so he immediately began to refute, "As soon as these remarks appeared, I asked the patrol to pay close attention, and reports were submitted every day." What the hell is going on, I still don't know, how can I possibly let it go wrong?! ”

"Liu Shangshu, what do you know? Those patrols are all submitted when they see the sky, so what kind of reports are submitted? You have come to such an outrageous conclusion, you are derelict in your duty! Seeing Liu Biao singing against them, those ministers began to beat their chests and accuse him.

"Dereliction of duty!" Hearing this, Liu Biao almost jumped up. You know, this is a direct accusation against him, this is not at all something that can be described by buttoning a big hat, this is completely deducting basins for him, "You make it clear to me, just such a simple matter, I also let people trace the source, and let people pay close attention, what is the dereliction of duty?!" If you don't make it clear, I will join you today for the sin of lying and slandering! ”

"What, you still participate in my sin of lying and slander!" Hearing Liu Biao's words, the minister was also anxious, "Don't you want me to make it clear to you, I'll make it clear to you now." The rumors have been going on for so long and have caused such a big impact, what have you done as the Shangshu of the Security Department?! For such a big matter, even if you can't find the mastermind, you should clarify the facts to the people and let them stop spreading rumors! But not only did you do nothing, but you also said that they were all jokes, isn't that a dereliction of duty?! ”

"The people are not brainless, don't they treat such things as jokes or what?! Besides, rumors are not rumors, and there is no conclusion so far, what facts do you want me to clarify to the people? ”

"What, rumors are inconclusive? How can this be inconclusive! You can't hear such obvious rumors, how did you become the secretary of the Ministry of Security?! ”

"How can I be the secretary of the Ministry of Security, do you still want you to teach me?!"

……

"My day, how did they do it, it's different from the script I designed!"

Originally, Liu Hong wanted to continue this matter and find an opportunity to get Zhang Heng to the court and play a double reed for them. But now, looking at the quarrels, Liu Hong was a little dumbfounded. But Liu Hong also knew that no matter what, he would never let them quarrel anymore.

"Shut up!" Liu Hong slapped the table, pointed at them and began to train, "As an important minister of the court, you are actually noisy above the court, what kind of system is this?!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty!" Seeing that Liu Hong was angry, they were all honest.

"Made, the plan really can't catch up with the changes, and the previous arrangements are all useless!" Looking at these ministers, Liu Hong scratched his head for a while, "Tell me, you are all important members of the imperial court, what can't you say well, you have to be noisy?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't know the general situation, it's mainly that a few of them deceive people too much." Liu Xian was about to cry when he was wronged, "Since Weichen was promoted by His Majesty to the secretary of the Ministry of Security, he has been working hard to repay His Majesty's kindness. But a few of them didn't even ask about the indiscriminate remarks about the dereliction of duty of the micro-ministers, and asked His Majesty to make the decisions for the micro-ministers. ”

The ministers who calmed down also felt that it was not cost-effective to make enemies and offend Liu Biao. But the matter has come to this point, and they can't help but hesitate, "Your Majesty, it's not the ministers who are arrogant, such an obvious rumor, but Liu Shangshu doesn't do anything, seeing that the situation is getting bigger, what do you say this is not a dereliction of duty?!" ”

"Deal with it, which one do I rely on?" Hearing this, Liu Biao stopped doing it again, "Let's not say that the remark hasn't been determined as a rumor, even if it's a rumor, a rumor like this that people throw aside after laughing doesn't need to deal with it." Otherwise, I, the secretary of the Ministry of Security, will not do anything else, and I will not be able to deal with this all day long. ”

"And say that this rumor is inconclusive!" Hearing this, the anger of the ministers did not come to one place, "Everyone, listen to it, how ridiculous is it to say that this Luoyang is blessed?" Let's not talk about Shang Zhou, even our big Han has been here for more than 150 years, how can we be blessed. What's even more ridiculous is that if you don't move the capital, there will be a disaster in Luoyang, how can this not be a rumor! ”

Hearing this, those ministers who watched the excitement also kept nodding. After all, in their opinion, this matter is too nonsense. However, they also know that the current opposition to the relocation of the capital is hot, and they can't prepare for it, and this rumor may be made by their majesty. Therefore, they did not dare to express any opinions, and honestly stayed aside to watch the play.

"Whether it's a rumor or not, it's really hard to say now." What all the ministers knew, of course Liu Biao also knew. Originally, he didn't want to get involved here, but now there is no way, in order to get rid of that basin, he can only tie himself to Liu Hong's chariot, "Luoyang is not thin in the end, this is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise is not easy to say." However, those people say that if the capital is not moved, there will be a disaster, and since it is impossible to say whether there is a disaster or not, this matter cannot be conclusive. ”

"Liu Shangshu, tell me, since ancient times, you have heard of who predicted the occurrence of disasters? How can such obvious nonsense not be a rumor? ”

"Just because no one predicted it before, doesn't mean that no one predicts it now. Therefore, it cannot be recognized as a rumor without conclusive evidence. May I ask you, which of you has hard evidence? ”

Liu Biao was arguing with those ministers, and outside, Zhang Heng was also waiting anxiously.

"Well, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Heng kept looking at the palace gate, "Your Majesty said that soon, he would send someone to deliver a letter to me, but why is it that now, the person who sent the letter has not come, this can't be some accident, right?!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng's sweat came out. You know, this is singing a double reed in the court, in case there is an accident, it will be a big accident.

"No, I'll have to think about it, no matter what, I'm going to get this through!" (To be continued......)
