Chapter 374: Where Did the Prince Go?
I have to say that the amount of information Xu Jingzong's two sentences said was too great, which really made everyone stunned on the spot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one thought that the dignified Shangshu Province left servant shot, and the general Liu Renliang, who pacified Goguryeo, turned into a chaotic minister and thief overnight, and even now he has to lead troops to attack Chang'an City?
If it weren't for the fact that there were three bigwigs of the political hall sitting here in front of him, I'm afraid no one would believe this bizarre statement!
"Dare to ask Xu Xiang, is there any evidence for this? Did you show Your Majesty before the seizure of Liu's Mansion? ”
The first to calm down was Wang Yifang, who came to inquire today with him as the leader, so he naturally wouldn't panic at this moment, and arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
Although there was no doubt in the tone, it still didn't seem so polite!
Of course, Wang Yifang himself knows that it is very rude to ask such a question, but the problem is that this matter is too big, the dignified second-class official, the respect of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the number one hero who has just been pacified, why rebel?
What's more, even if he rebelled, he should be disposed of by the emperor, so rashly seizing the Liu Mansion is indeed incompatible with the system!
"You!"
Among the three, Hao Chujun's temper is the hottest, seeing that at this time, Wang Yifang is still sticking to the rules, how can he not be angry? !
"Hao Zhongshu is angry!"
However, Dai Zhide can still remain calm, because he knows that Wang Yifang's question is not deliberately making things difficult for them, but just asking what the ministers dare not ask, and at this time it is most important to calm people's hearts!
And if you don't explain it clearly now, they will have doubts in their hearts, and they can't fight the thief wholeheartedly, which is the worst thing!
After comforting Hao Chujun, Dai Zhide turned around and said to the ministers below.
"Song Zhi was sent to Jiucheng Palace as early as two days ago, but I only got the news last night that the road from Chang'an City to Jiucheng Palace has been completely blocked, and according to the spies we sent, it was a team of the Eastern Expeditionary Army that blocked the road, claiming that no one should be allowed to pass through by military orders!"
After a pause, Dai Zhide's tone became cold.
"Yao Shangshu, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, all the reports of the Eastern Expedition Army are through your hands, you come to tell the ministers, who is in charge of the current Eastern Expedition Army?"
This time, not only did many low-grade officials and imperial historians come, but even the Shangshu of the Six Ministries also came, and Yao Chong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was naturally in the list, and when he heard Dai Zhide call him, Yao Chongfang took a step forward and said with a little hesitation.
"According to the recent military report, the British Duke Li Ji was killed in the battle, and the left deputy general, General Xue Rengui, was seriously wounded.
Saying this, everyone believed it for seven or eight points, but at this time, Zhou Yunyuan, the middle of the imperial history, jumped out and said.
"Even so, there must be empirical evidence to deal with a second-grade master! The three ministers have been talking for so long, but there is empirical evidence of Liu Renliang's rebellion? ”
In fact, to be honest, Zhou Yunyuan really didn't want to come out at this time, but there was no way, he had become a grasshopper on a rope with Liu Renliang, originally after he attached himself to King Yong, the relationship with Liu Renliang became close, and now King Yong has fallen.
He and Liu Renliang have a cold relationship, so he can only secretly pray that this matter is just a frame-up, Liu Renliang did not really rebel, but his face Zhou Yunyuan did not weaken his momentum at all!
"What did Zhou Zhongcheng say? Could it be that the army on the road of the Nine Percent Palace was born out of thin air? Is it possible that the three of us will deceive you? ”
Seeing that Zhou Yunyuan was still so ignorant of the general situation, Hao Chujun opened his mouth and was about to scold, but Xu Jingzong frowned, stopped him, and said in a deep voice.
Of course, there is empirical evidence!
But it can't be taken out, Xue Rengui's secret letter is the most powerful evidence, but the things involved are too big, and it involves the reputation of the late British duke, which is categorically impossible to make public!
But apart from that secret letter, there really is no real physical evidence!
"Since there is no evidence, since Your Majesty should make a decision, you have no selfish intentions to seal the Liu Mansion without authorization?"
Seeing that Xu Jingzong and the others couldn't come up with anything, Zhou Yunyuan became more and more sure that this was a bureau to frame Liu Renliang, although he didn't know why Xu Jingzong and the others wanted to cooperate with this matter, but his attitude was even more arrogant, and he shouted loudly.
As a result, the ministers who had already believed in it also began to waver.
At this moment, a slightly sharp but very calm voice sounded in the distance.
"It's so lively here!"
Xu Jingzong looked back, but it was Wu Liangfu who was in the palace with a sneer on his face, and walked over slowly surrounded by several small chamberlains.
"What's the matter? Now, even the words of the ministers in the political hall dare to question it, can you? If their words are not enough, how about adding the words of the old man? If it is not enough, do you need the old man to ask His Majesty to personally make a will before leaving Beijing? ”
For everyone, Wu Liangfu is a special existence, and everyone in a high position knows that this old chamberlain is His Majesty's most confidant, so he also respects him very much.
Moreover, Wu Liangfu has scrupulously adhered to his duties over the years, and has never interfered in court politics, even if he occasionally has some discussions, he has saved many righteous people, so the court's reputation for him is excellent.
It's just that in everyone's impression, this manager Wu has always been smiling, and it is the first time he has been so angry as he is now.
"Before His Majesty left Beijing, it was clearly written in his decree that the military and political affairs of the DPRK and China should be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, and Xu Xiangfang also said that the seizure of the Liu Mansion was ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Wu Liangfu's voice was cold and sharp, which suddenly made Zhou Yunyuan lose his momentum, but there was still a sense of unwillingness in his expression.
But at this moment, in the distance, a middle-aged man in the costume of a pawn came running, galloping towards this place on horseback, with a simple red feather on his back, which suddenly made everyone's faces sink.
"Lantian County Emergency!"
The man rolled over and dismounted, took out a handwritten book from his sleeve, also with a bright red feather on it, and presented it.
The moment Xu Jingzong saw it, his face was gloomy to the extreme, and he handed the handwritten letter to the Zhongshu person next to him, Xu Jingzong's voice was so cold that it condensed the air.
"Read!"
"The order of Lantian County is respectful, the army of the Eastern Expedition raised a flag ten miles away from Lantian County to rebel, claiming that His Royal Highness the Prince framed King Yong, held His Majesty hostage, and led the army to King Qin, Lantian County has fallen, please Your Royal Highness the Prince quickly guard against thieves!"
The scholar read this short handwritten letter with a trembling voice, but there was silence in front of the political hall......
"Zhou Yunyuan, what else do you have to say?"
Hao Chujun's eyes widened, and he turned to Zhou Yunyuan on the side angrily!
But the old man looked incredulous, muttered "impossible", his face was gray, and he could no longer say anything else.
"Now that Liu Ren's track has reversed, are you colleagues willing to follow the old man to defend the Jingshi?!"
Xu Jingzong shouted, but he woke up all the ministers who had not yet reacted.
"Defend the capital to the death!"
I have to say that there is still a set of criteria for the selection of officials in the Tang Dynasty, and no one has put forward any different opinions at this moment, no matter how many ministers and generals are there, everyone wants to defend Chang'an City together!
After a period of chaos, Xu Jingzong and the others finally appeased the ministers and returned to the political hall with a tired face.
"Mr. Wu, thank you for your help today!"
Dai Zhide arched his hand and said sincerely.
If today's situation hadn't been for Wu Liangfu's timely appearance, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult to clean up!
"Hehe, it's okay, this is the old man's business, it's just that the political hall is making such a big fuss, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Wu Liangfu waved his hand, but he didn't care, hesitated for a moment, but asked.
It's a pity that Xu Jingzong and the others on the other side are also at a loss, and they don't know where Li Hong went at this critical moment...... (To be continued.) )
