Chapter 45: The Shaking of the Government and the Opposition (Part II)
Yuan Feng persuaded: "With Qin Jie's ability to dominate the people of Nanyang, they are not the opponents of Ma Yue's eight hundred Liukou, if my son is the Taishou of Nanyang, how should I deal with it?" ”
Yuan Shu disagreed: "Qin Jie's defeat, his crime is not in the people of Nanyang, and it is not caused by his law." After many inquiries, the eight hundred Liukou and Ma Yueqi people know a lot about the way of using troops, their people come and go like the wind, a can run a hundred miles, although they go back and forth but never defend the city, specifically pick the Nanyang soldiers to garrison the empty place to launch a surprise attack, is why repeatedly succeeded, the Nanyang army is to want a battle and can not get. ”
Yuan Fengdao: "The world is big, there are many states and counties, there are many places for my son to stretch my hands and feet, why should I choose the dangerous place of Nanyang, and I want to fight to the death with the thief Ma Yue?" ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and instead of answering, he asked, "I wonder what my father thinks about today's general trend?" ”
"Although the yellow scarf is extinguished, the bandits will become more and more intense, the building will collapse, and the strength cannot support it." Yuan Feng sighed, "Zong Zhengqing Liu Yan has already played the Son of Heaven before, please Fuzhou Pastor to control the military and political affairs of various states to suppress thieves, the court is full of rat-eyed people, and there are eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's greedy people in the middle of the wind and waves, I see that Your Majesty seems to have the intention of agreeing." Don't you know that as soon as this case is opened, the town of Fan will be divided, the imperial power will be lost, and the country will not be a country. ”
Yuan Shu disagreed: "Today, the emperor's family is declining, the party is rampant, the gate valves are rising all over the country, Fuzhou Mu, according to Fan Town, this is the trend of the times, if my Yuan family can't take advantage of the situation, it will be replaced by others!" Today, Nanyang is a place, the rogue is rampant, it seems to be very dangerous, it is not an opportunity, eight hundred rogue is like a torrent, if it is blocked, it will be drowned, but if it is guided by the situation and made good use of it, it may not be a help. ”
Yuan Feng's expression was uncertain, he looked at Yuan Shu for a long time and was silent, and sighed for a long time: "My son has grown up." For the father to die, soon to die, Yuan's hope of rejuvenation, should be in the beginning with you. ”
Yuan Shutuo knelt down in front of Yuan Feng and said sincerely: "Please fulfill my father." ”
Yuan Feng bowed slightly, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, giving birth to a child like this, there is no regret in death.
At this moment, the butler's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, the general has come to visit the mansion." ”
……
The next time, Emperor Ling, who had not been in the early dynasty for a long time, could not resist Queen He's plea, so he had to get up early in the morning to participate in the court discussion.
In the bell and drum ringing in unison, the three princes and nine qing, the civil and military officials each slowly enter the hall according to the sequence, worship and kowtow, three long live, the emperor is exempted, get up and line on both sides of the golden palace. Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, shook the dust in his hand, took a step forward, pinched his throat and screamed: "There is a morning music, nothing to retreat~~"
"Minister, there is a book."
Zhang Rang's voice fell, and Sikong Yuan Feng had already come out of class to worship and fell on top of Danqi.
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng is an important minister in the court, Emperor Ling did not dare to slack off, so he said with a pleasant face: "Aiqing quickly flattened, what is the matter?" ”
Yuan Feng struggled to get up, and bent down deeply, and the voice of Lang Lang resounded throughout the hall in an instant: "The Yellow Turban Thieves have resurged, and the eight hundred Liukou have swept through Nanyang, reoccupying Wancheng, and even the general's old father and the current national master are also in the hands of thieves!" Nanyang guarded Qin Jie, was rigid and self-serving, and the yellow scarf lost Wancheng at the beginning of the chaos, and he should have been beheaded for the crime, but he was allowed to intercede for him, and he was still allowed to stay in the post of Taishou to atone for his sins, which led to this incident. The minister asked the court lieutenant to investigate the crime of not knowing the person and employing the person improperly. ”
Zhang Rang, who was standing on the jade steps, was taken aback when he heard this, and knelt down in front of the Spirit Emperor's throne in a panic, shouting: "Yuan Sikong's blood mouth is spewing people, and the old slave is wronged." ”
Zhang Rang's voice fell, Situ Yuan Kui, Shizhong Wang Yun, Shilang Cai Yong and other more than a dozen ministers went out at the same time to prostrate under the Danqi, and said loudly: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to order the Imperial Lieutenant to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”
The Spirit Emperor frowned, this matter was really embarrassing for him. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who are often waiting, are the people he trusts the most, and if there are no two people waiting for him, he won't even have a taste for eating. And Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui were standing behind the civil and military officials, and he didn't want to offend anyone!
Although the Spirit Emperor is mediocre, he also knows how to figure out the ins and outs of things first.
"Rank Aiqing's flat body, what Yuan Sikong just said, I am very confused when I hear it, can I have a detailed explanation?"
Yuan Fengdao: "Your Majesty, Zhang Rang is not properly employed, Nanyang is too shou Qin Jie is derelict in his duties, the bandits in Nanyang County have revived, and the eight hundred Liukou who have risen in place are still more stubborn and terrible than the Yellow Turban thieves, the Nanyang soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, Fuyang, Suixian and other county towns have been destroyed, and now even the county governance Wancheng has fallen again, the entire Nanyang County officials have collapsed, the people are hanging, and the situation has been rotten!" ”
Emperor Ling was stunned when he heard this, and he smiled dumbly for a long time: "Aiqing is joking with me, right?" With only 800 rogues going to seize the county and the big city that I am heavily garrisoned, who would dare to believe this? I'm afraid only a three-year-old child would believe it. ”
Many of the civil and military officials also laughed, they didn't want to believe this news like Emperor Ling, they all felt that Sikong Yuan Feng and Situ Yuan Kui were too reckless, even if they wanted to bring down the ten permanent servants and a party, they couldn't make up such a ridiculous and unbelievable story, at least they should find some decent culpability.
Zhang Rang secretly exclaimed luck in his heart, and then coldly counterattacked: "Your Majesty, Yuan Sikong is a crime that he wants to add, and there is no word for it." Qin Jie, the old slave, still knows, shrewd, and talented! Although Wancheng has been lost, the old slave has already explained it to His Majesty. ”
Emperor Ling waved his hand and said, "I also know about this matter, Qin Jie has dealt with hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves with thousands of people, and it is already commendable to be able to hold on for several months. Qin Jie is not only innocent, but also has merit, if the county guards everywhere are like Qin Jie, what is the fear of the Yellow Turban Liukou? ”
Yuan Feng paused for the first time, and shouted: "What the old minister said, every sentence is true, if there is half a word of falsehood, I am willing to be tortured by Ling Chi!" ”
Emperor Ling still didn't believe it: "If this is really the case, why don't you see the post report?" Where did Sikong know? ”
Yuan Fengdao: "The little dog said that he had followed the general to Nanyang before, and the minister only learned about it. ”
"Yes, Aiqing also said just now that even the national abbot was caught in the hands of thieves." Emperor Ling looked at He Miao and asked, "He Aiqing, is there such a thing?" ”
He Miao came out of the class and said: "This is indeed the case. ”
Emperor Ling said unhappily: "The national lord is in the hands of thieves, this matter is not trivial, why not play it early?" ”
He Miao said calmly: "The minister was about to play the book, but he was unexpectedly preempted by Lord Yuan. ”
Zhang Rang saw that Emperor Ling seemed to believe it, and immediately said hurriedly: "Your Majesty should not listen to slander, this is because He Miao and Yuan Feng colluded in advance to frame the old slave, and the old slave was wronged." ”
Zhang Rang was also dizzy, it was just a trivial matter to find out who was not clear and used people inappropriately, at most he was reprimanded by the emperor in the court, and it was impossible for him to really hand it over to the court for thorough investigation. But Zhang Rang was used to being rampant, seeing that someone dared to play him in the court, and the incident of eight hundred rogue raids and occupation of Wancheng was indeed too unbelievable, so he instinctively gave a counterattack, not only to confirm the guilt of shielding Qin Jie, but also to be extremely stupid to bite back, claiming that Yuan Feng and He Miao had colluded in advance to slander him, but this time they pushed themselves to a dead end.
"Report~~~"
Zhang Rang's voice fell, and a loud trumpet sound suddenly sounded outside the hall, the sound from far and near, gradually outside the golden hall, and immediately, a dusty warrior appeared in the field of vision of the hundred officials, and fell down outside the yellow door.
"Nanyang Di Bao!"
The samurai knelt on one knee, untied the yellow silk bag he was carrying, and raised his hands high above the top.
Zhang Rang's color changed suddenly, Emperor Ling's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Submit it!" ”
There was already a Huangmen squire who took the newspaper from the hands of the samurai, trotted past the Danqi, and entered the golden ladder, and a eunuch took it and presented it in front of the Lingdi case.
After the Spirit Emperor read the ten lines at a glance, Huo Ran stood up from the dragon chair and said in disbelief: "Is there really such a thing? That's the case! Did the eight hundred Liukou really take Wancheng? Really took Wancheng! ”
On the Golden Palace, all the civil and military officials were shocked, and they couldn't believe their ears. The Yellow Turban thieves are all rabble, although tens of thousands of people are often chased and killed by hundreds of officials and soldiers, and now with more than 800 people, that is, the capture of the county and the big city where the officials and soldiers are heavily garrisoned, it is really appalling!
Zhang Rang was so frightened that he hurriedly cried on the ground: "The old slave has no eyes and no beads, and mistakenly believes in Qin Jie's villain, so that he will leave a disaster to the Han River, Shan Sheji, and he deserves death." ”
"Please ask Your Majesty to send Zhang Rang to the Imperial Lieutenant Office for a thorough investigation!"
Yuan Feng fell into the well.
"Please ask Your Majesty to send Zhang Rang to the Imperial Lieutenant Office for a thorough investigation!"
Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others added fuel to the fire.
"Please ask Your Majesty to send Zhang Rang to the Imperial Lieutenant Office for a thorough investigation!"
This time, more than half of the civil and military officials stood up, and justice awe-inspiring asked for Zhang Rang to be punished, but Zhang Rang, who had always been high-flying and domineering, was like a poor kitten at this time, curled up at the feet of the Spirit Emperor and shivering. No matter how prominent he is in front of people, no matter how arrogant he is in front of people, Zhang Rang is just a domestic slave of the royal family, and once he loses his holy favor, his ownership power will come to naught in an instant.
