Emperor Long Yan was furious, and all the ministers were nervous, and some people already understood in their hearts that Wei Zheng was more auspicious today.

Over the years, the emperor has indulged in monasticism, built a large number of buildings, and abandoned state affairs.

The emperor is ruthless, but all those who oppose his cultivation are almost all ruined, countless heads fall to the ground, and the voice of admonition is becoming less and less, and almost no one has advised the emperor in the past two or three years.

As the words of loyalty become less and less, it is almost impossible to hear the words of the DPRK and the central government.

But today, this Wei Zheng offended Tianwei and spoke to the emperor regardless of life or death, and those words were the most taboo words, and everyone knew that this Wei Zheng was really asking for his own death.

Wei Zhengdao: "Back to the saint, the subordinates are very bold, since they entered the court as an official, in order to avoid trouble, they never dare to speak at will, but they are afraid of getting into trouble and losing their reputation." ”

The emperor sneered, "But your courage today has suddenly become bigger. ”

"It's not that the subordinates are bold, but that the subordinates have to do their duty." Wei Zheng looked up at the emperor on the golden dragon chair, "The subordinates eat the king's fortune, and they should be loyal to the king, if the yang serves the yin and does not dare to tell the truth and deceive the saint, then it will be a negative grace." ”

The Emperor leaned back in his chair, his eyes like ice, "According to you, my empire is full of bandits, and my people are already in dire straits...... I ask you, how many bandits are there in this world? ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "There are so many bandits, like ants." ”

Ma Hong, the head of the household, finally couldn't help but reprimand: "Wei Zheng, don't be alarmist and exaggerate in front of the saint...... Although there are some troubles, they are only a few, and they are not like ants in your mouth. ”

Wei Zheng glanced at Ma Hong and asked, "Have you ever left the capital to count?" ”

Ma Hong was stunned, and then said angrily: "Have you counted?" ”

Wei Zheng said slowly: "Although the subordinates have not counted them one by one, they are indeed clearer than the ministers of the department, not to mention the Southeast Tianmen Dao, only the bandits of the other provinces combined, will not be less than hundreds of thousands!" ”

The emperor frowned, turned his eyes to Nayan Zhou Ting, and asked, "Zhou Nayan, are there really hundreds of thousands of bandits in this world?" ”

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wei Zheng, and then said respectfully: "Back to the Holy Lord, what Wei Zheng said is exaggerated, but ...... Bandits are rampant, but it is also a fact. Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, he hurriedly said: "But those bandits are all rabble, as long as the elite soldiers are good generals, they will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face softened slightly, and he asked, "Where are the most bandits now?" ”

"Needless to say, the Tianmen Road in the southeast." Zhou Tingdao: "In addition, there are Qingtian Kings in Hebei, and there are several bandits in Sichuanzhong Dao, the biggest is Zheng Taicheng, as well as Huang Sheng and Qu Matong...... However, except for the Qingtian King, the other bandits are all vulnerable, and they can be pacified in a few days. ”

Lin Yuanfang immediately said: "What Zhou Nayan said is extremely true, there is Helian Ming in the middle of the Sichuan Province, and he has a good fighting Sichuan army under his command, and the bandits in the middle of the Sichuan cannot become a climate." As for the Blue Witch of Ruofu Sea Road, it is even more vulnerable...... I'm a million male master of Daqin, and those mud legs are not enough to kill. ”

The emperor's face was still not very good-looking, but Wei Zheng had already asked rhetorically: "My lords, the lower officials want to ask, where is the Great Qin Million Male Master you are talking about now?" ”

The ministers frowned, and Wei Zheng had already said: "Holy Lord, the first subordinate to participate in the impeachment is Qiao Mingtang, and the second to participate in the impeachment is these high-ranking officials of the Yamen of the Sixth Department of Zhongshu who eat the king's fortune but are not loyal to the king. ”

The ministers were suddenly even more shocked, thinking that you, the head of the Ministry of Rites, are really crazy, and this time you will completely offend the top of the entire empire.

The emperor let out an "oh", glanced at the high-ranking officials on both sides, and asked, "What are you impeaching them?" ”

"Eat the king's fortune, but be disloyal to the king." Wei Zheng said angrily: "As high-ranking officials and important ministers of the empire, they should share the worries of the saint and seek the well-being of the people, but they are a corpse vegetarian meal, allowing the state affairs to deteriorate, but they are watching from the wall, and they are even more deceived by the saint, and it is not enough for the saint to tour the north, which is really a traitorous minister's behavior!" ”

The faces of the ministers suddenly turned not good, and Qiao Mingtang was already in a cold sweat at this time, knowing that Wei Zheng would definitely die today, and it might even affect him.

"According to what you say, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and you are the only loyal minister?" The emperor sarcastically said: "Everyone is a traitor, and if I appoint a traitor, I will naturally be a faint king." ”

Wei Zhengdao: "The minister doesn't dare to ...... But the Holy Saint drove the northern tour, and it really shouldn't be. ”

"Shouldn't you?"

"The situation in the southeast is critical, and the bandits in Hebei are huge, and it is the time for the Holy Lord to sit in Beijing and strategize." Wei Zheng said loudly: "Jingshi is the root of the empire, the Holy Lord sits in the capital of Luo'an, the empire can be stable, and it is really ...... to leave the northern tour of Beijing at this time!" After a moment's hesitation, the emperor had already asked coldly, "What is it?" ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said loudly: "It's really self-destruction of the Great Wall!" ”

There was a sudden uproar in all directions, and all the ministers reprimanded one after another: "Wei Zheng, you speak wildly and talk about state affairs, which is a great disrespect to the saint, and the saint, the ministers implore Wei Zheng to be severely punished." ”

"The Holy One has the world in his mind and strategizes, how can you, the little head of the Ministry of Rites, understand?"

"Great rebellion, great rebellion, saint, such treacherous people must be severely punished!"

Wei Zheng was still a little nervous, but when he listened to the curses around him, his expression became resolute, and he said loudly: "The saint, the subordinate ministers, I never thought about living, I just ask the saint to take care of the common people, drive back to Beijing, sit in the capital, and pacify the people, otherwise...... Otherwise, my Great Qin Empire will be destroyed in one fell ......! ”

Qiao Mingtang couldn't help but scold at this time: "Wei Zheng, shut up...... You......! "I was panting, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

In the midst of the noise, but the laughter was heard, and the ministers were surprised, but they saw a person from behind the golden dragon chair, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur, but it was difficult to hide the graceful figure, beautiful as a flower, and some people had already recognized that it was the emperor's favorite concubine Snow Flower Niangniang.

The ministers didn't expect that the snowflake lady would suddenly appear, and suddenly stopped the sound, the emperor saw the snowflake lady appear, stretched out a dry and old hand, the snowflake girl's slender jade hand was already on the emperor's hand, and was taken by the emperor to sit on the golden dragon chair, the golden dragon chair was very wide, and the emperor and the snowflake lady sat on the golden dragon chair together, without the slightest sense of crowding.

The emperor said softly: "It's so late at night, why hasn't Concubine Ai rested yet?" ”

"The saint ignores the dragon body and receives the minister late at night, and the concubine is worried about the saint's dragon body, so she comes over to take a look." The soft delicate body of the snowflake lady snuggled up to the emperor's body, and said coquettishly: "Shengshang, you don't look good, is someone angry with you?" ”

"Didn't you hear the words of this loyal minister?"

"The concubine heard a little." Snow Lady has a bewitching posture and a charming smile, "The little local official dares to offend the saint, it's really damned." ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Wei Zheng had already said loudly: "Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, saint, please listen to the ministers!" ”

"What else do you want to say?"

"The subordinates eat the king's fortune, and they don't want to see the Great Qin Empire that the Holy Lord has painstakingly built is destroyed." Wei Zheng said loudly: "Although the status of the subordinate is low, but also to fulfill the duty of a minister, the subordinate must not only advise the saint to drive back to Beijing and sit in the capital, but also advise the saint not to indulge in cultivation, let alone interfere in political affairs for the harem." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You asked me not to cultivate?" ”

"Since the Holy Lord has cultivated the Dao, he has exhausted the national wealth, alchemized the Dao, built the Taoist Temple, and the national treasury has been unable to make ends meet......!" Wei Zheng straightened up, "If there is chaos today, bandits and natural disasters continue, but the imperial court can't get the money to quell the chaos and disaster relief ......!" ”

"Shut up!" The emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore and said sharply: "Wei Zheng, who instructed you to say these words?" ”

Qiao Mingtang's heart sank suddenly.

"Back to the saint, these are all the heartfelt words of the subordinates, and no one instructs them!"

Lin Yuanfang took the opportunity to sneer: "Wei Zheng, you are just a small head of the Ministry of Rites, if there is no one to support you, you dare to say these words to offend Tianwei?" ”

"Although the official position is humble, he is a courtier of Great Qin." Wei Zheng said without fear: "Since you are a courtier of Great Qin, you must fulfill your duty as a courtier." He glanced at Qiao Mingtang, who was not far away, and said: "Qiao Mingtang will neither say nor dare to say these words, let alone explain to his subordinates, he is also a corpse vegetarian, and he is a big traitor." If there is really someone who instructs his subordinates to admonish, it is also the people of the world who instruct his subordinates, and the people of the world are miserable, they are all the people of the saint, and they only hope that the saint will be sympathetic to the people, and make the world prosperous and peaceful! ”

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Why is the concubine laughing?" ”

Snowflake Niangniang said coquettishly: "Holy Lord, this person sells his reputation, and he does this to leave a name of integrity...... The concubines heard that some people are not greedy for money and are not lustful, but they want to be famous, and there is nothing in the world, so they have to say that the world is chaotic, just to sell their reputation. ”

"What the concubine said is very true." The emperor bowed slightly, glanced at Wei Zheng, and asked, "How do you think Concubine Ai should punish such a fame-seeker?" ”

"Holy Lord, you can't kill him." Snowflake Niang chuckled and said, "If you kill him, it will make people think that he is an upright person, and he will be ...... succeeded by his treacherous schemes!" ”

"Oh?" The emperor held the little green hand of the Snow Lady and asked, "What is the best way for the concubine to not let him succeed in his treacherous schemes, but also to punish him for his wild words?" ”

The beautiful eyes of the snowflake lady rolled, approached the emperor's ear, whispered a few words, the emperor stroked his long beard, and soon laughed, and said, "It's still smart to love the concubine." ”

Xuehua Niangniang ate and smiled, and then beckoned to Lin Yuanfang, the secretary of the ministry, Lin Yuanfang bowed and hurried over, Xuehua Niangniang approached his ear, and whispered a few words, Lin Yuanfang suddenly smiled, "Niangniang Shengming, in this way, you can punish the disrespect of this little man, and you can also let his conspiracy to sell his reputation fail......!" Glancing at the emperor and seeing that the emperor nodded slightly, Lin Yuanfang bowed and exited the hall.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what idea Snow Flower Niangniang had for the emperor, but there was one thing that the ministers knew in their hearts that Wei Zheng was only afraid that he would die next.
