Chapter 204: Indecision
Chang'an Ling, who was kneeling on the main hall, was still young now, and he didn't know how much younger than Wannian County just now. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looks very good to be able to pass the year of establishment. If you are in the middle of a poor family at this age, you should have just started your life, and now you are mixing in the seventh grade or from the seventh grade.
But this young man did not come from a humble background. His surname is Pei, and his background is as famous as the Pei family in Hedong today. His father was Pei Renji, a doctor in Guanglu of the Sui Dynasty, and the Pei family was also a prosperous wealthy family in the world. With the help of his family, he himself has achieved the Chang'an Order of the fifth grade in his thirties.
Although it is said that this official position is cumbersome, easy to offend people, and relatively difficult to do, it is not a good errand among the five-grade officials. But that's also a five-grade official, and he has already gotten out of the point of being a small official.
Now he is in high spirits, and according to this momentum, it is not completely hopeless to worship the prime minister and marquis in the future. And he is extremely capable in his own right, although there is inevitably a little recklessness in his temperament, but he is smart enough and has the ability to do things. Since serving as Chang'an, there has never been any major chaos.
"Chang'an Ling, you come to tell me, what is going on in the streets and alleys?" Li Zhi's tone was already very unkind. The words of the Wannian County Order just now have angered him, if this Chang'an Order is not answered well, I am afraid it will not be as simple as saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown, it is estimated that he will be charged with the army.
Pei Xingjian knelt on the main hall, although his face did not change much, but his heart was really bitter. He is a smart man, how can he not understand the current situation. Now Li Zhi is basically angry, if he answers a little carelessly, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good today. But he didn't know what to say.
That's it, gritted his teeth, since Your Majesty wants to listen, then you can't blame Weichen. If you tell the truth, if you are demoted, maybe you will come back in the future. If you tell a lie and anger the emperor, you really have no hope at all.
"Your Majesty, the voices of the people have also appeared since after noon yesterday. Although there are different opinions, Weichen sent people to inquire about what princess has fallen into a strange poison in the world. resulting in death. The doctors of the Tai Hospital are highly skilled and determine the poison. And this poison was laid down by the queen's personal maid, and after the east window incident, the queen also struggled to protect the maidservant......"
"That's enough." Li Zhi roared angrily: "Shut up, shut up for me." ”
"Yes. Yes, yes. The minister's words, the ministers' words, are just the people's false rumors, please Your Majesty do not be angry. Pei Xingjian took a big jump. Quickly apologize and say soft words. Li Zhi has always been kind on weekdays and rarely loses his temper, let alone this kind of situation of shouting angrily in front of hundreds of officials. It was the first time since he ascended the throne that he had lost such a temper at a court meeting, and the ministers kneeling down were trembling.
At this time, he secretly said in his heart: It's over, this time this official is the end. Pack up your things and see if it's the Western Regions or the South, and the distribution is designated.
The eldest grandson Wuji knelt and lowered his head, a trace of anger and puzzlement flashed in his eyes. When did the matter of the inner courtyard of the palace spread so quickly? Who is behind the plot against the queen? Wu Meiniang? Does she have the audacity? But who else could she be?
"Chang'an Order, I will give you a day. Tomorrow you will tell me who is spreading this kind of news. Whether it is a prince or grandson, or a minister, or a poor person. Who the hell is spreading this matter, and I will take it down on the spot. If there is resistance, kill on the spot. Li Zhi seemed to forcibly suppress his anger, and viciously gave such an order to Pei Xingjian.
"Yes." Pei Xingjian thought that he would wait for Li Zhichong's army to deal with it, but he didn't expect to give such a Shang Fang sword. Although there is only one day of the right, this is not an ordinary right to kill on the spot. It can be seen that the emperor has burned to the point of anger, and hurriedly agreed.
"Stand down." Li Zhi waved his hand and directly asked Pei Xingjian to go down.
When Pei Xingjian left, the officials reacted, and even if the emperor was so angry, he did not deny the words of the people. Didn't say a word about rumor-mongering, what does that mean?
Chu Suiliang figured it out, and the only few people in the Taiyuan Wang family also figured it out, all of them turned pale.
"Your Majesty. You heard that, too. Now the people are talking a lot, and the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, which is not done by Mingjun. What the minister wants to ask is, are the rumors of the people true? Xu Jingzong grasped the timing very accurately, and when everyone gradually reacted to Li Zhi's words, he continued to ask questions.
Everyone is staring at Xu Jingzong, this old guy is going crazy. Didn't you see that the emperor was already angry and wanted to kill? He also crashed into it in a hurry. Who do you kill if you don't kill you?
"Xu Aiqing, Xu Shangshu, it's almost. I'm tired, so stand down. Li Zhi bit the words Xu Aiqing and Xu Shangshu heavily. Then the tired minister waved his hand and asked Xu Jingzong to retreat to the court.
"Your Majesty, it's not the minister's nonsense, nor is it pestering His Majesty's family affairs. It's just that this matter is very important, and the minister, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the first emperor Longen, really can't help but say it, Your Majesty. Xu Jingzong's voice was already full of three points of crying, and he shouted at Li Zhi with a little choked up.
"You...... What the hell do you want me to say? ”
"Your Majesty, if this matter is really the queen's mother's doing, the consequences will be unimaginable. Your Majesty has been ruling the world for five years, but there are only four princes, and the heirs are thin, and the ministers ......" Xu Jingzong quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to continue. But there was not a single one of those present who did not understand. This is just a princess, the queen can be so ruthless, let alone a prince?
After thinking about it again, what Xu Jingzong said is not unreasonable, Li Zhiguang has been on the throne for five years, but there are only four princes and two princesses. Compared with Taizu, Taizong is indeed too little. Could it be that she is really the queen mother...... What's even more terrifying is that the queen has never come out of nowhere, and it seems not impossible for a woman who has nothing to come out of it to be jealous of someone else's birth of a dragon heir for the emperor. The ministers couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs, and even some timid people began to pray to God and worship Buddha, why is he so long in the morning today.
After a long time, Li Zhi let out a long sigh: "The queen and I are a young husband and wife, and they have supported each other all the way to today. I...... Trust her. ”
"Today's matter, did Your Majesty inform Ke Weichen that this matter has nothing to do with the Empress? The minister promised not to mention this matter again from now on, and to return to his hometown. Xu Jingzong was also ruthless. Li Zhi's last attitude is too elusive. What the hell is going on, if it's acting, it's too much, right?
How can he understand the kindness in Li Zhi's heart, or indecisiveness? At this point, after all, Li Zhi didn't want to be abolished in a day, and his heart became more and more hesitant. (To be continued.) )
