Chapter 270: Li Yuanfang's Wisdom (3)
Chapter 270 Li Yuanfang Zhishi (3) The silence in the imperial study was terrifying, and everyone's heart was pounding violently.
And the Emperor Wenzheng above was full of gloomy and cold aura, and his eyes were even more murderous.
His eyes were staring at Li Yuanfang and Chang Song, and his face was cloudy.
Wei Qiao's words are too damning, they are simply challenging the bottom line of the county king, even the most generous emperor may not tolerate it!
Li Yuanfang had never felt this way, even when he faced the first emperor, he was not so flustered. Although he lowered his head, he could already feel the emperor's cold and piercing eyes, and his heart couldn't help but jump.
Although Chang Song also bowed, his expression was faint, and there was no nervousness at all.
Ye Fatzi's throat shook slightly, he lowered his head and glanced at the emperor with some fear, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
And Chang Zhijiang Ci was also frowning, his eyes changed, and cold sweat was dripping on his head.
The emperor was furious, and the corpse was floating for thousands of miles. If the above Emperor Wenzheng was really angry, no one dared to imagine what the consequences would be.
Wei Qiao couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, would he really anger this Emperor Wenzheng, who had a deep city government? After all, many people in the DPRK and China, whether bright or dark, are planning for themselves, and countless people have sent their families to the south, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for these to escape his eyes.
In the midst of everyone's shock, Emperor Wenzheng's gaze slowly moved away from Li Yuanfang, and moved towards Wei Qiao inch by inch, his eyes were still very cold, and he said coldly: "Wei Qiao, do you want to borrow my knife to kill people?" ”
Wei Qiao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare, tell the truth." "Whether it's true or not, Wei Qiao must play the identity of a minister.
"Tell me the truth?" Emperor Wenzheng's face was unpredictable, gloomy and terrifying, and then his gaze left Wei Qiao, looked at Chang Song, and said, "Chang Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Chang Song bowed slightly to the emperor, then glanced at Li Yuanfang on the side, frowning slightly. This matter seems to be huge, and it is both a cabinet elder and a fanbang, in the final analysis, it is still a trivial matter, as long as the emperor does not pay attention to it, he does not need to pay attention to it at all.
But the emperor shouted all the people involved with great fanfare, how could it turn a big thing into a small matter?
Although Chang Song was ranked below Li Yuanfang, his bearing did not seem to be inferior to Li Yuanfang, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Li Ge has lost the dignity of the old cabinet, and he will be fined for half a year, and the rest will be handed over to the cabinet." "This is also the method of playing fifty boards each, no one is offended, and everyone is disposed of.
Here, there is only one Li Yuanfang that the cabinet can't handle. And the fine in his mouth for half a year is simply an itch for the elder, after all, who can be hungry when Daqi is hungry?
Sure enough, when Li Yuanfang heard this, his face turned different, and the color of gratitude flashed in his eyes. Li Yuanfang didn't know that he would lose his old face by doing this, but he couldn't help it!
The emperor's expression remained unchanged and said, "Isn't it too light?" ”
It seems that Zhou Yanzhao also knows that if the others are handed over to the cabinet, with the energy of Weiqiao Li Yuanfang, it will not rain but spring dew, and the wind will not chill the willows.
But which of his words was light, but Chang Song frowned for a while.
Chang Song pondered for a moment and said, "Elder Li Ge wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and the official Wei Qiao will be a product, and the others will also handle it in turn." ”
But what made everyone's hearts skip a beat was that as soon as Chang Song's voice fell, the emperor said expressionlessly, "That's all?" ”
This time, Chang Song couldn't help frowning, and the people behind him changed color one after another.
Let a pavilion elder write a letter to apologize, this is already a big deal, not to mention that Wei Qiao was also demoted by one grade. But the emperor came again: 'That's all?' The meaning revealed here made the hearts of the people below tremble.
Chang Song's face was also a little solemn, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Yuanfang beside him.
The emperor's attitude is already very clear, that is, this matter cannot be fooled so simply, there must be an explanation, and it cannot be taken lightly.
But it's hard to say!
This not only involves Li Yuanfang, but also Wei Qiao, Ye Fat Niu Yilang and others, none of them are easy to handle, even if Chang Song doesn't care, but he Chang Song is not a bare-bones commander, today he can attack Wei Qiao Ye Fat Niu Yilang, one day the martial apprentice Fu Li also rose up and said casually, do his subordinates also have to wear all their little shoes?
What makes Chang Song even more embarrassed is that he doesn't understand the emperor's mind and doesn't know where the bottom line in the emperor's heart is? If this is disposed of, the emperor will definitely be unhappy, after all, the martial apprentice Fu Li's silence has made the emperor very satisfied recently, if it is over, who knows if the two of them will send a surprise to the emperor. But if it was light, the emperor was not satisfied. Chang Song has also followed the emperor for more than ten years, and it has never been so difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts.
Chang Song thought for a while in his heart, glanced at Li Yuanfang, who was also looking up at him, and when he nodded solemnly, Chang Song also frowned, and then turned to the emperor and said, "Li Yuanfang has been thinking about it for a month behind closed doors, and the official of Weiqiao has lowered his grade and transferred out of the Imperial History Platform." Others were demoted three levels. ”
Li Yuanfang frowned slightly when he heard Chang Song's words, but he didn't disagree with the closure for three months, but he didn't care about it just now, but now he heard the strangeness in Chang Song's words. Others are officials who are demoted to the third level, but Wei Qiao is an official demoted, which seems to be similar, but it is actually completely different.
Downgrading by three levels is a direct reduction in power, regardless of your quality, but you can reduce your quality but ignore your real power. Your second-rank official can be an idle job, but Wei Qiao's fifth-grade can also do the third-grade thing!
However, Li Yuanfang didn't take it to heart, Chang Song can be said to take care of him a lot today, if he resents it again, it will be too disgraceful.
A pavilion elder thought about it behind closed doors, this sentence is a very heavy punishment, especially for Li Yuanfang, even if he does not lose his holy family, his prestige may be greatly reduced. And Wei Qiao is demoted to one grade, and other people are demoted to three levels, which can also be said to be a heavy punishment, you must know that none of the people here are simple, Chang Zhi Niu Yilang Ye Fat Man is a second and third grade, and the relationship is deep and the background is tough, let alone Wei Qiao.
But even so, the emperor's expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and he said coldly: "This is your disposal?" ”
Everyone below gasped in their hearts, and now the emperor even complained about the only Chang Ge elder who stayed out of the matter, I'm afraid, today's things are really difficult to be good!
Chang Song bowed his head, but his eyes were solemn, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.
And Li Yuanfang's eyes flickered beside him, and his face changed. I thought that the emperor just thought that he had been a little too late, and he knocked it out, but he didn't expect to think about it.
Li Yuanfang's heart kept turning sharply, thinking about what the emperor was going to do.
But before he could figure it out, the emperor's cold and piercing voice suddenly sounded, and his eyes looked at Li Yuanfang coldly, "Li Yuanfang, are you guilty?" ”
Li Yuanfang's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, kneeling there in fear and not speaking.
And Chang Song on the side also changed his face, and his eyes flashed. Others don't know what this sentence means, but he and Li Yuanfang are very clear. They have all seen the lessons of Tangyan in the lockdown, especially the sentence 'you can know the guilt', which has become a taboo for the elders!
The emperor's eyes became more and more cold, full of Sen Han's anger, "What, do you want me to tell you one by one?" ”
Li Yuanfang's body shook, his face was instantly full of ashes, and his whole body suddenly became rickety, and the luck in his heart disappeared in an instant.
He knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his face was withered, and said in a trembling voice, "Minister Li Yuanfang, old and frail, unbearable, I am willing to tell the old man to return to his hometown, take care of his old age, and beg the emperor for permission." ”
Zhou Yanzhao's cold expression relaxed slightly, nodded lightly, and said: "I remember that you have followed me for decades, give you the title of Marquis, 'Loyal Monarch', reward the four treasures of the imperial study, war horse and saber, and send hundreds of officials out of the city gate." ”
Li Yuanfang no longer had the heart to think about the meaning of the emperor's reward, but he felt that the title of duke and marquis was too heavy, and the title of 'loyal monarch' was too heavy, but thinking of his decades of loyalty, it was not too much to get these and he was full of melancholy, he no longer pretended to be polite, and kowtowed directly: "Thanks." ”
"Well, I'll finish what I need to do when I get back." Emperor Wenzheng said lightly again.
Li Yuanfang's body trembled when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
The emperor looked at Wei Qiao Changzhi and the others expressionlessly, and said lightly: "You hand it over to the cabinet and step down." ”
"The minister retired." When everyone who was already sitting on pins and needles heard this, they all seemed to be amnestied, and quickly withdrew from the imperial study.
Out of this gloomy imperial study, Ye Fatzi exhaled a long breath, as if he had been closed from the ghost gate, and looked at Wei Qiao with excitement on his face and said: "Old Wei, if you don't save me this time, I will really die, I didn't say, I have a bag of Chunfeng Building tonight, you can choose which top brand you want!" ”
The fat man just despised all the scholars in the world, if Li Yuanfang chased after him, he was probably indispensable to be demoted out of the capital. But even if it comes out now, the fat man's future life is estimated to be difficult.
Wei Qiao directly ignored his crazy words, looked at him with a strange face, and said with a smile: "Fatty, I didn't expect you to be so bold." "The fat man was so bold just now, I'm afraid that any random person would not dare to do that.
The fat man smiled shyly and said, "I didn't expect me to be so bold, but the feeling just now is true, hehe...... " Looking at Li Yuanfang and Chang Song who came out of it, the fat man turned the back words into 'hehe'.
"Brother Chang, I'll go first." Li Yuanfang came out and glanced at the two of them lightly, then sighed, and looked at Chang Song beside him.
Chang Song listened to this long-lost title, and sighed in his heart, and comforted: "Brother Li doesn't have to be pessimistic, the emperor did this, and he didn't mean to protect you." ”
Li Yuanfang shook his head tiredly, and said, "I understand what Brother Chang means, it's just, hey, it's all the trouble caused by those bastard boys." ”
Chang Song also nodded silently, if he didn't know that it was a liar to the disaster victims in the west, but he couldn't do anything if he knew, there was too much involved, even the emperor hadn't been watching from the sidelines, and he hadn't made a move until now?
Li Yuanfang and Chang Song said a few more words, and then left with a lonely face. He leaned over, walked in front of Wei Qiao, turned his head and glanced at Wei Qiao, his eyes seemed to be a little apologetic, he exhaled lightly, turned around and walked towards the palace gate, but his body became more and more rickety.
