Chapter 260: Impeachment (2)
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Qiao, like the focus of the audience, and everyone was watching.
But Wei Qiao didn't feel anything, as if he was really asleep, his body shook slightly back and forth, and his eyes were lowered, as if he didn't know anything about the outside world.
Emperor Wenzheng on the dragon chair looked at Wei Qiao with a slightly dissatisfied expression, and said lightly, "Wei Aiqing, do you have anything to say?" ”
Wei Qiao was stunned, opened his eyes sleepily, took a breath and looked around, and turned his head to look at Niu Yilang beside him with some unknown reasons.
Niu Yilang's face sank like water, and he hurriedly said: "Holy oracle." ”
Wei Qiao reacted very quickly, and as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed to the emperor and said, "The minister is here." ”
"Wei Qiao, you are bold, you dare to sleep in the Xuande Palace, you are really a kingless and fatherless, and you are a big rebel!"
"Hmph, it's really too arrogant, and not punishing it is not enough to enforce the law!"
"Yes, Tianwei can't be offended, and he should be severely punished!"
As soon as everyone saw Wei Qiao's appearance, they immediately became angry, and Ling Chong jumped out and scolded loudly with a righteous face. Immediately, the other courtiers also followed suit to accuse Wei Qiao, although the tone was much softer, but also quite harsh.
After all, Wei Qiao's behavior is completely contempt for the court, contempt for the emperor, and not punish the prestige of the emperor? In the future, everyone will sleep well.
Wei Qiao hurriedly bowed down and said loudly: "The minister is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”
Wei Qiao shouted, and the court was immediately silent.
People have confessed, what else can you do?
The courtiers looked at Wei Qiao with some unfinished eyes, and then stood back with a lot of resentment, and looked at Emperor Wenzheng, who was sitting tall above.
Zhou Yanzhao's expression was stern, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Wei Qiao, I ask you, is what Yan Aiqing said just now true?" ”
This sentence is also to tell the courtiers of the palace, - this is the point, and everything else is floating clouds.
When the adults heard this, they also twisted their eyebrows and looked at Wei Qiao, their eyes were quite unkind. Indeed, that's the point. The big disrespect just now will be fined for three months at most, and there is nothing worth holding onto. If what Yan Yi said was true, it would be an earth-shattering event.
Wei Qiao had long been accustomed to Zhou Yanzhao's facial expressions, this person had always been on the side of the 'majority', and would never oppose himself to the courtiers and put him in a disadvantageous position. But Wei Qiao also knew in his heart that the things on the surface could not represent what he thought in his heart, especially the Emperor Wenzheng who was still in the current dynasty, and his scheming city was unparalleled in the world.
Wei Qiao bowed and clenched his fists, and said without humility or arrogance: "Back to the emperor, as soon as the minister received the news of the arrival of the Hun envoy, he immediately rushed to the north gate to meet him, but was told that the Huns were walking at the west gate, and the minister rushed to the west gate, but the road was full of hunger and hunger, and the minister walked with difficulty, and walked straight for more than an hour before he walked to the west gate, but was told that the Hun envoy had entered the city, and the minister had to turn around without hesitation, but the disaster victims were the same, and the minister took more than an hour to rush to the post house, But he was told that the Xiongnu envoy was not in the post house. The minister was in a hurry at that time, and asked everywhere, and later learned that in Taichang Temple, the minister rushed to Taichang Temple despite his hungry and tired body......"
The courtiers listened to Wei Qiao's mouth full of words such as non-stop dust, hard work, hunger, and exhaustion, and the corners of their mouths twitched, and their hearts were even more disdainful. Jinling City is so big, four or five hours is enough for you to run back and forth five or six times, not to mention that it is not for you to run and ride a horse, what do you work hard to sit in a carriage?
Ye Fatzi laughed when he heard it, Wei Qiao's kung fu of opening his eyes and talking nonsense was better than him.
Wei Qiao ignored the strange eyes of everyone, and continued: "The minister and Lord Tuosai hit it off at first sight, they talked very happily, and they hated to see each other late, and they were just about to take Tuosai to rest, but they didn't want the Yulin Army to come suddenly, saying that the Huns were violating the laws of our Great Qi with sharp weapons, and asked the Huns to hand over the sharp weapons, but the ministers couldn't, so they had to retreat and let the Yulin Army do things. The Houyu Lin army negotiated with the Huns, and at first both sides were fierce and almost clashed, but fortunately, Zheng Ge Lao appeared in time and quickly mediated successfully. Fortunately, Lord Tuosai understood the righteousness and handed over all the sharp weapons. Later, the minister took Lord Tuosai to look for a house, but after searching all over Jinling, even the post house did not have enough empty rooms for them to live in, and the minister also considered their safety. In the end, the minister really couldn't, so he rented a house in the southwestern suburbs for them, although it was a little smaller, but it cost three hundred taels of silver a month. Moreover, the minister also asked the Yulin Army to send troops to protect, because there are not a few people who hate the Huns in Daqi, and if something happens, it is not what anyone wants to see......"
Yan Yi's heart was full of anger, Wei Qiao was obviously doing an unseemly deed, but he said that he was the same as a Bodhisattva, and he was simply a bit of popularity!
Ye Fatzi held his stomach and hummed, his face flushed.
Niu Ichiro was also a little crying and laughing on the side, not knowing what kind of expression he should be.
Wei Qiao ignored them and continued to bury his head and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Tuosai has a lot of complaints about my Daqi, because he stood on the street for two hours without anyone paying attention, and then no one appeared in Dali Temple for two hours, which is really very disappointed. He also said that he was very disappointed with our Great Qi officials, and reserved the right to make a statement to the emperor and truthfully relay it to the Xiongnu Great Khan. ”
Wei Qiao is too capable of breaking, and the words from his mouth are one after another, which is completely unrefutable and reasonable.
Ye Fatzi felt that his face was hard, his hands were rubbing his face vigorously, his two little eyes were no longer visible, and he only felt that the intestines in his stomach were tangled together, and the pain was very hard.
And Niu Yilang and the others were also dumbfounded, they only felt that Wei Qiao sought stability in everything, and would not touch anything that he was not sure of, but they never expected that Wei Qiao not only spoke sharply, but also had such a thick skin, and his face was not red or out of breath when he told lies, and he looked righteous.
It's not hard to tell a lie, but it's hard to tell a lie as if it's true.
Wei Qiao, it's really admirable!
On the other side, Yan Yi was an old man with a sobbing mouth, and his face was angry and distorted. Wei Qiao is not ashamed, he obviously did everything, and he was clearly there, but he reversed the high-sounding black and white words, and the justice was awe-inspiring, and even he felt ashamed!
Chang Zhi sneered on the side, he had already investigated and understood yesterday, and he also went in and met with Tuosai!
Where is there any bullshit at first sight, talk very happily, and hate to see each other late, although Tuosai did not say it explicitly, but Chang Zhi can also see from Tuosai's eyes that Tuosai hated Wei Qiao to death!
Chang Zhi looked at Wei Qiao and snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister said yesterday that he had seen the Xiongnu envoy Tuosai. ”
"Oh" Emperor Wenzheng's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then he said lightly: "Chang Aiqing said." ”
Chang Zhi didn't care about Emperor Wenzheng's surprise at all, and bowed down and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, according to Tuosai, at that time, the Yulin Army forced them to hand over the weapons they carried with them, and when they refused, the Yulin Army wanted to shoot them, and after the mediation of Zheng Gelao, they reluctantly handed over their weapons. Afterwards, Master Wei took them to the station, but they didn't expect it to be a small and pitiful courtyard that was only big enough for ten people to live. Moreover, the Yulin Army is still monitoring them all the time, and the number of people entering and leaving is strictly controlled. The emperor, Tuosai was very angry, he said that Daqi was provoking the Xiongnu and declaring war! ”
"Your Majesty," as soon as Chang Zhi's voice fell, Ling Tang also stood up and said, "The minister has checked, most of the post houses in Jinling are vacant, and they are not nervous. ”
"Emperor Qi" Ling Tang's voice fell, and Ling Chong said again: "Your Majesty, Jinling Mansion has been anxious about the increase in refugees and needs to be helped, and it is really incomprehensible that Yulin Army is not there at this time. ”
As soon as the three of them sang and harmonized, the court minister was silent for a while, and looked at Wei Qiao with strange eyes.
Yes, this kind of thing is a thankless effort, Wei Qiao should have been careful to please his grandson in every possible way and beg to spend this period of time, but he didn't want Wei Qiao to make such a big move inexplicably, what was he thinking? What are you going to do?
When Emperor Wenzheng heard this, he also frowned, looked at Wei Qiao and said, "Wei Aiqing, what's going on with the Yulin Army?" ”
The Yulin Army was the emperor's private army, and when he said this, he was obviously showing concern to the courtiers.
Wei Qiao quietly glanced at the emperor who had been standing still in the eight winds above, and felt a wave of anger in his heart, can he escape your ears and eyes with this little thing?
However, Wei Qiao also slandered such a sentence, but he didn't think much about it in his heart. After all, the emperor's old man's early foundation was thick enough, so Wei Qiao was embarrassed not to do something for him.
Wei Qiao sighed again at the shrewdness of the old emperor, knowing his surname, the benefits were not given one by one, and slowly lured him. Instead, he gave enough or even far more at once, so that he was embarrassed not to do things for him.
Wei Qiao thought for a while in his heart, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor is a man of letters, and he doesn't understand military affairs, so he doesn't want a layman to lead an insider. Moreover, the ministers were troubled by all things, so they did not immediately restrain the Yulin Army. Generally, they deal with small matters by themselves, and non-major ministers do not come to the Yamen of the Yulin Army. ”
When Emperor Wenzheng heard this, he also nodded and said, "Well, 'laymen don't lead insiders', you say this well." Then, how do you explain that the Hun envoys did not live in the post house? ”
Wei Qiao said: "Your Majesty, the number of refugees in the city is increasing, and there are more and more troublemakers, and the minister is worried that it is not safe for the Hun envoys to live in the post house, so they are specially arranged to be farther away, because the Yulin soldiers are nervous, so let them live in a smaller place, so that it is easy to protect and ensure their safety." ”
"Hmm" Zhou Yanzhao didn't give others a chance to intervene, and as soon as Wei Qiao finished speaking, he said 'um', which made Yan Yi and the others, who had originally opened their mouths to refute, swallow back the words in their throats, almost hurting internally.
Zhou Yanzhao thought for a long time, but didn't seem to find any other questions, and looked up at Yan Yi and the others, "Everyone, Aiqing, do you have any other questions?" ”
