Chapter 22: The Wrath of the Emperor
The Dongnuan Pavilion was terrifyingly quiet, and the emperor's face was gloomy as water, and Li Zixing and Liang Liyong, two people who had become accustomed to fooling the emperor, were a little restless.
Sensitively aware that this matter was only related to the previous events, but the emperor never spoke, and no matter how much speculation he speculated, it was sudden. The two had no choice but to wait for the emperor's wrath to come.
"Say, who made you deceive the king!" Zhu Jianshen said in a deep voice.
Li Zixing's eyes rolled and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why Your Majesty is so angry?" ”
Zhu Jianshen picked up the desk that had been torn in half and threw it on Li Zixing's face: "See for yourself!" ”
Li Zixing hurriedly picked up the folds on the ground and looked at them slowly.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, this fold was actually written by Wang Gongzhi, the commander of Tai'an County, who had never been the prefect of Jinan, let alone the governor of Shandong.
"There has not been any earthquake in Tai'an, and the discussion between the DPRK and China is purely imaginary, I hope Your Majesty will see it!"
A simple sentence made all the efforts of Zhang Ru and a group of ministers come to naught. This is also the reason why Emperor Zhu Jianshen was angry.
Knowing the reason for the emperor's anger, Li Zixing wanted to use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter has long been decided, and this Tai'an County Ling Wang Pei is simply a big talk." If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Tai'an to investigate. The gods have already issued an edict, and His Majesty has heard it with his own ears, could it be that His Majesty doesn't even believe in the gods? ”
After getting along with Li Zixing for so many years, Wei Xing knows Li Zixing very well as a person, and knows that if he continues to explain, he is afraid that the black can make him white.
So without waiting for Zhu Jianshen to speak, Wei Xing immediately scolded: "Fart, what kind of bullshit gods, it's just a trick you made up yourself." ”
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and slapped Wei Xing: "The gods are what I saw with my own eyes, how can I be honored to speak as a slave of you." ”
Wei Xing's self-determination did not make Zhu Jian feel deeply resonant, but made the emperor disgusted.
You must know that Zhu Jianshen believes in the theory of ghosts and gods the most, otherwise he would not be bent on seeking immortality.
Li Zixing made a look of grievance, and slowly took off the black veil on his head: "Your Majesty, the minister has worked hard for His Majesty's immortality, but I didn't expect that someone maliciously slandered the minister." The birth of Weichen has violated the orders of the ancestors, and the longevity of His Majesty to win the world is even more against the sky. Anyway, since a Dan heart is regarded as a wolf's ambition, I implore Your Majesty to allow the ministers to give their ministers, and the ministers are willing to return to the mountains and forests to pray for Your Majesty. ”
This style made Zhu Jianshen completely panicked, and hurriedly supported Li Zixing: "Why is Aiqing like this, I am just angry when I see the twists." It's all Wei Xing's dog slave who is playing right and wrong, Aiqing still don't leave, without Aiqing, I really don't know what to do! ”
"Wei Xing, come over and apologize to Lord Li." Zhu Jianshen said again.
Under the emperor's penetrating gaze, Wei Xing knelt on his knees unwillingly, and then his body was clumped, rolling to the feet of Li Zixing little by little, and his head slammed on the hard bluestone floor, and every time he smashed it, he said in his mouth: "Wei Xing should die, please forgive Master Li!" ”
After more than a dozen apologies, Wei Xing's forehead was already bruised, and Li Zixing's face eased slightly: "It's okay!" Weichen is a life of hard work, and he can't bear to see His Majesty lose the way of immortality. Damnation is damnation! As long as Your Majesty is good, I am good, and my ministers will never give up! ”
Solved the problem of Li Zi Province leaving, but the knot in Zhu Jianshen's heart had not been untied, and in the case of not persecuting Li Zi Province again, he set his sights on Liang Liyong, the supervisor of Qintian.
Whether Tai'an is really an earthquake is not so important to Zhu Jianshen, what matters is whether it is really anger from heaven if there is an earthquake in Tai'an; If there is no earthquake in Mount Tai, who is behind this with so many courtiers?
The latter was very clever, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what Weichen said is true, don't dare to have half a sentence, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the Tai'an messenger is especially in the capital, and Your Majesty can send someone to capture it." Who's right and who's wrong, just ask! ”
"Take people!" Zhu Jianshen said lightly.
Wei Xing immediately rushed outside like a chicken's blood, and after the guards outside the palace learned the location of the messenger from Liang Liyong, he followed the guards out of the palace in a hurry.
Beiping City was under the control of Dongchang Fanzi, and he didn't believe that if there was really a messenger to the capital, he wouldn't know.
Therefore, when Liang Liyong took the initiative to tell the location of the messenger, he couldn't wait to expose the identity of the so-called messenger, and then aroused the emperor's anger and once again set off a bloody storm of changing the reserve.
The eyes of the old god of Li Zi Province were slightly closed, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.
Liang Liyong's round fat face didn't show any clues, but the dense beads of sweat on his forehead clearly told the emperor that he had a ghost in his heart.
This ghost is not saying that there is something wrong with the messenger Xie Lun, but that Liang Liyong is afraid of revealing flaws.
He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the hideous appearance of the young man controlling all his family without saying a word, and breaking his twenty-five-year-old son's finger in front of him.
"Spring is blooming, Liang Aiqing seems to be a little cold!" Zhu Jianshen's question, which seemed to be concerned but was actually tentative, made Liang Liyong, who was five sections but strong, shudder.
Li Zixing suddenly opened his eyes, and the Han light in his eyes shot Liang Liyong's spirit.
The latter rolled his eyes and whispered: "That, Weichen occasionally feels cold... Occasionally, I felt a cold and felt a little unwell. ”
Zhu Jianshen hummed softly: "Oh, I'm not feeling well!" Hold on for a while, and when the messenger comes, and I understand, I should find a doctor to find a doctor, and if I shouldn't look for a doctor, I won't look for it, and it will always be fine. ”
After waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion for half an hour, Xie Lun, who was confused, was pressed into the palace by the Ouchi guards, and learned that the person he wanted to see was the emperor, Xie Lun didn't dare to say anything other than lying on the ground and shouting long live.
The credentials and security documents on his body had been handed over, and those things were enough to prove Xie Lun's identity.
Zhu Jianshen got straight to the point: "Are you from Tai'an?" ”
"Grass people Tai'an County catcher Xie Lun." Xie Lun 1510 authentic.
"Has there ever been an earthquake in Tarzan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there was indeed an earthquake in Mount Tai, and the magnitude of the earthquake was not small, and the entire Mount Tai had a tendency to shake."
"When did it happen?"
"When it happened on March 21, the grass people rushed all the way to the capital without stopping, never passing through Jinan Prefecture or Shandong Province."
"Who testifies?"
"The Ministry of Industry should be able to testify, but it seems that the old man in the Ministry of Industry who can testify has died suddenly."
Zhu Jianshen frowned, and asked Wei Xing, "Who received him from the Ministry of Industry?" ”
On the way, Wei Xing wanted to talk to Xie Lun several times, but the guards stared at him like a dog, and he couldn't speak. In fact, Xie Lun would not ventilate with him.
Although Jinyiwei is notorious, he has a much better reputation among these eunuchs in the inner court, at least there are still some hot-blooded men in Jinyiwei, but none of the fans in Dongchang are good people.
This is not only the feeling of ordinary people, but low-level officials like Xie Lun also sneer at these people.
Wei Xing touched his swollen forehead and whispered: "Your Majesty, the person who received the reception was just a small official of the Ministry of Works, he was very old, and he died suddenly three days ago. ”
Zhu Jianshen said unhappily: "So, no one can testify to him?" ”
Wei Xing said ill-intentionedly: "The subordinate brought him back from the Jinyi Weidong Division, maybe Zhang Xiaoqi can testify for him." ”
Zhu Jianshen's face changed slightly: "Zhang Ru? ”
turned to Xie Lun and said angrily: "You recruited from the truth, you are the head catcher of Tai'an, Shandong, even if you want to stay after entering Beijing, you should stay in the Ministry of Industry or the post station, why did you go to Jinyiwei?" ”
Xie Lun's face remained unchanged, and he said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain originally lived in the post station, but two days ago, Zhang Xiaoqi, the Jinyi guard, asked the villain to be taken over, saying that he was afraid that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the villain." After a few days, the people of Jinyiwei treated the grass people with courtesy, and there was nothing that was missing. ”
Zhu Jianshen lost his voice and said: "What I'm afraid of is that he is very polite to you, what is this Zhang Ru doing!" ”
There was no need for the emperor to order, and the commander of the guards went to Zhang Ru without saying a word.
Zhang Ru, who had already prepared for this, followed the guard commander and Yong into the palace with a big grin, because of the prince of the East Palace, He Yong also told Zhang Ru not to say the wrong thing in front of the emperor on the way.
Although he knew that the emperor would not do anything to him, Zhang Ru was still quite grateful to He Yong. After all, it is not easy for a close minister next to the emperor to be able to remind him of a yellow-haired boy who may be convicted.
After entering the palace and seeing the emperor, Zhang Ru knelt down on one knee and saluted, and then stood up without waiting for the emperor to speak.
"I haven't got you up yet." Zhu Jianshen's face was unhappy.
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the father of the monarch, if you don't let the minister stand up, the minister naturally can't stand up, but the minister has never made a mistake, if Your Majesty doesn't let the minister get up, I'm afraid that the people of the world will think that Your Majesty is a violent king." In order not to fall into the land of injustice, the minister dared to stand up on his own. ”
made a gag that made Zhu Jianshen difficult to reprimand.
He said with a straight face: "I asked you to come because I have something to ask you, the letter from Shandong has arrived in Beiping, why did it appear in your Jinyi Guard." ”
Zhang Ru glanced at Wei Xing blatantly: "Your Majesty has traitors around him, and the ministers dare not let the messengers appear in a grand manner, if they let those traitors know, I am afraid that they will harm the messengers." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Zhu Jianshen saw Zhang Ru's eyes, but pretended not to know.
Zhang Ru said: "Whoever persuades Your Majesty to change the reserve is a traitor by Your Majesty's side." ”
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "National affairs, how can you understand as a yellow-mouthed child, the matter of changing the reserve is my idea, is it not that I am also a traitor!" ”
Zhang Ruzheng said: "Your Majesty is naturally not a traitor, the prince has never done anything wrong, and Your Majesty will naturally not change the reserve." As His Majesty said, national affairs are not something that a yellow-mouthed child can discuss, and women, children, and demons naturally can't discuss the government in vain! ”
"Zhang Ru! Do you want to die? Zhu Jianshen's eyes widened, and he stared at Zhang Ru tightly, as if he was going to eat him.
