Chapter 3 The aftermath is still there
Yue Su is now waiting for the holy decree, and now that the holy decree has come, he can't help but be a little nervous, and he doesn't know how the emperor will send himself this time. But the eldest husband dares to act, and he has thought about any ending.
"Miss Zimei, there is a holy decree here at this moment, and the ministry is going to receive the decree, you sit here widely, and when you receive the holy decree, you and I will speak."
"Your Excellency, please."
Yue Su walked out of the second hall, and ordered Tong Xuan to greet the others, and set up the incense case, ready to receive the order. I went out to greet myself.
When I came to the yamen, I saw a middle-aged eunuch standing at the head of the door, the eunuch's grade was not very high, and he didn't know him. At first, Yue Su thought that it would be Liu Mingguo who came to announce the decree, but when he saw this eunuch, he couldn't help but be stunned.
On the side of the eunuch, there was still a person standing, seeing this person, Yue Su was stunned again, this person was his old acquaintance, Jinyiwei commanded Xu Xianchun. Xu Xianchun has now been reinstated, but Yue Su didn't know about it, so he didn't inquire much.
Behind these two people, there were also four Han generals, and about fifty Jinyi guards.
In front of Yue Su, the eunuch put on a very high posture, with the style of a superior seeing a subordinate, and he didn't seem to take Yue Shaobao in front of him in his eyes at all. Xu Xianchun also didn't take Yue Su in his eyes, after the person in front of him announced the decree, he was a prisoner, and there seemed to be no need to be polite. Therefore, his eyes looked straight up, as if he hadn't seen Yue Su. Neither of these two spoke first, Yue Su had to speak first: "I don't know that my father-in-law has arrived with holy will, and this official has missed the distance, so please forgive me." ”
"Yue Shaobao, it's free. Our family still has official business, so hurry up and set up the incense case here, so that you can kneel down to receive the holy decree. "The eunuch is honest and unkind, but he really regards himself as a superior leader.
Yue Su now boasted that he was now guilty, and he was very humble, and said: "The incense case has been laid out, please face it." ”
"Good ......" The eunuch was not humble, and walked inward, Xu Xianchun followed, ignoring Yue Su at all. Also, before the holy decree was read, Yue Su was still the minister of Qincha and the governor of Henan, and he had to give a salute, and without saying a word, this etiquette would be saved.
Yue Su didn't care about them, and accompanied him and entered the main hall together. In the main hall, the incense case has been arranged, Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tong Guan, Tie Qiu, Li Haoquan, Li Zhong, Yang Yishan, Xiong Tingbi and others with some errand servants, standing in the hall and waiting.
When the eunuch entered the hall, he immediately shouted: "Governor of Henan, Shao Bao Yuesu receives the order!" ”
"The minister received the order...... Yue Su hurriedly walked in front of Jin Chan and the others, and knelt on the ground first, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Yue Su's subordinates also knelt down together, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”…… The eunuch unfolded the holy decree and preached loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The governor of Henan, Shao Bao Yuesu, has presided over the disaster relief in Henan, and has made many meritorious deeds, and I am very relieved." However, cheating in the field back then was a big matter, and it was the first of all evils. The merits and demerits cannot be offset, and all official positions are now specially removed, the sword of Shang Fang is seized, and the brocade clothes are handed over to the guards for investigation. Chin this! ”
When they heard this will, the hearts of all those present were cold, and they did not know what to do. Like Jin Chan and others, they have been with Yue Su for a long time, and now they are like brothers, before the arrival of the holy decree, everyone still has a fluke heart, thinking that adults are valued by the emperor, and there may not be anything wrong. At present, it is necessary to dismiss and investigate, and what should be done. Especially Jin Chan and Tie Qiu, they first persuaded Yue Su to run away together, but Yue Su refused. Now as soon as the punishment decision was announced, the palms of both of them were sweating, and their hearts were all up and down.
Xiong Tingbi secretly said in his heart: "It's over." Yue Su fell, what should I do? Will he go to prison again? ”
Most of the people here are feeling sorry for Yue Su, and they are just ordinary officials, but they are better. Anyway, it's the same as anyone else, you should eat and eat, and you should be on an errand and an errand.
Yue Su knelt on the ground, and a thousand thoughts flashed in his heart, "Is this really the end of yourself?" With the relationship between the emperor and me, it shouldn't be enough. can accompany the king like a tiger, such a big crime, I'm afraid the emperor can't withstand the pressure. ”
He pondered vigorously and didn't say a word, but the eunuch who passed the decree was a little anxious, and said, "Lord Yue, you haven't received the decree yet. As he spoke, he walked up to Yue Su and waited for Yue Su to reach out to receive the holy decree.
This is a normal procedure, it can be said that as long as Yue Su receives the holy decree and thanks, the brocade guards brought by Xu Xianchun will immediately rush up and take Yue Su down. Yue Su also understands this truth, but doesn't he take it? If you don't take it, you will rebel. The soldiers and horses around him are all people from the imperial court, and they will never follow him, and they will follow the Jinyi guard to take themselves. But if you want to take it, then you will really be trapped in a place of no return, how can Xu Xianchun, who came here, spare himself.
At this critical moment, Yue Su suddenly remembered what the emperor had said before he left Beijing.
"Aiqing, I will give you an edict today, if you are in office in Henan, if someone takes you with a holy decree or dismisses you from your official position, no matter what, you can be regarded as an edict."
Although I don't know if this sentence counts, Yue Su understands one thing, if this holy decree is passed on by Liu Mingguo, it will never be an edict, and if someone else comes to pass it, at least half of it may be an edict.
If you take it now, you will definitely die. If you don't answer it now, even if you die, you have to wait for a while, and then you will see Your Majesty. Anyway, with your original decree, if I don't accept it, it won't be considered a disobedience!
Having made up his mind in his heart, Yue Su "soared" and stood up. shouted loudly: "This is an edict, forgive the ministry for not being able to accept the order!" Someone! Take down this group of false messengers for me! ”
The brothers Jin Chan and Tie Qiu are already disheartened and know that there is no turning point. But now, Yue Su suddenly said such a sentence, and the spirit of the big guy immediately came. Especially the five Jianghu men, Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, Yin Zhu, Li Zhong, and Li Haoquan, both respected and grateful to Yue Su, and when they heard Yue Su's order, when others hesitated, the five of them were the first to get up and rush over.
The so-called thief has a weak heart, Xu Xianchun was scared enough by Yue Su's "edict", and before he could react, Jin Chan and Tie Qi had already arrived at his side, and the two joined forces, Xu Xianchun was an opponent, and he was held down in the blink of an eye. Li Haoquan followed, took out the embroidered spring knife from under Xu Xianchun's ribs, and put it on his shoulder.
Li Zhong and Yin Zhu also restrained the eunuchs.
Tong Xuan's movements are not as fast as the five of them, after all, he is from a public office, and he thinks about it a little more. However, after a little hesitation, I also made up my mind, let's follow Master Yue. After all, he has always been the chief catcher under Lord Yue, and in the eyes of outsiders, they all know that he is Yue Su's ironcore, and when Lord Yue falls, he has no good fruit to eat. At the beginning, with Lord Yue, he also offended many people, and after the autumn, he was the first unlucky to be himself.
So, Tong Xuan also jumped up, drew his waist knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, take down these pretentious rebellious ministers and thieves." With that, the knife was on. Tong Zhou also had a few irons, Zhang Wei and Wang Shun saw that Tong Zhou was on it, what were they waiting for, so they immediately followed, and the big guys used knives to frame the Han generals together.
However, among the other errand officers, few dared to move, and the big guys swayed left and right, not knowing whether they should go up or not.
"You ...... What are you doing here...... Do you want to rebel......" The eunuch exclaimed in fright.
Xu Xianchun also hurriedly shouted loudly, "Yue Su, do you want to rebel?" Resisting and disobeying the decree is a crime of raiding the house and destroying the door, you have to think about it! ”
"Phew!" Yue Su took a heavy sip and shouted angrily: "You said that the ministry wants to rebel, I think you want to rebel, you are all tired of being crooked, and you dare to falsely spread the holy decree in front of the ministry, do you know what the crime of falsely transmitting the holy decree is?" ”
"Yue Su, don't talk nonsense, this is the emperor's personal will!" The eunuch shouted loudly in a sharp voice.
"Dare to say it! Let me tell you, before the Ministry of Finance left Beijing, the emperor had already issued an edict that if someone came to arrest him with a holy decree and intended to cut down the official and remove him, no matter what happened, it could be regarded as an edict! Wait for today, come here in the headquarters and pretend to preach the holy decree, what is your intention? Come on, escort them to the bottom of the stairs! After Yue Su finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the public case. Spare the case, sit down directly, knock the shocking wood hard, and shouted again: "Ascend to the hall!" ”
Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and others immediately escorted Xu Xianchun, the eunuch who sent the decree, and the four Han generals to the bottom of the stairs and pressed them to the ground. Xu Xianchun came with fifty brocade guards, but seeing this posture in the lobby, his own leader was also taken, and the group of dragons had no leader, so he really didn't dare to act rashly.
They didn't dare to act rashly, and the other servants in the hall didn't dare to act rashly, don't look at it all brought by Yue Su from Shuntianfu, but what was in front of them was nothing else, it was a disobedience to the order, once they followed Yue Su, they would rebel and be beheaded all over the house. The big guy's family is in Yanjing, which one is not a family and a mouth, and it is reasonable to waver.
The brocade guards didn't dare to move, and Yue Su's servants didn't dare to move, Yue Su saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved, and immediately grabbed the sword of Shang Fang for the public case, held it high above the top, and shouted: "The sword of Shang Fang is here, as long live today!" ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" …… Jin Cicada immediately knelt on the ground, but he knelt on his knees, and his hands did not forget to put on the shoulders of Xu Xianchun and others.
Don't look at the holy decree, but Yue Su is still there after all, and Xiong Tingbi also knelt down and shouted long live. A group of errands, after all, there is a heart to Yue Su, anyway, you have shown your Shang Fang sword, let's just kneel down what can we do, and kneel down twenty or thirty at the moment. The other errand officers, seeing that someone was leading, what were they waiting for, they knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted long live.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" …… Right now, everyone in the hall was kneeling on the ground except for the fifty brocade guards standing at the head of the door. Yue Su looked at it coldly, and saw that only they were still standing, so he immediately stretched out his hand and shouted angrily: "Shang Fang's sword is here, just like today's long live in person, you stand and do not kneel, can it be said that you despise the current emperor and plot to rebel!" ”
