Chapter 139: The Dust Settles (I)

Yang Bozheng's words aroused a great response among the ministers in the palace, and everyone immediately discussed, and there was chaos in the courtroom.

Qin Minzhong frowned, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Please calm down, now that all the gates in the city have been controlled by Yulin Wei and the Ouchi guards, and the Xiaocai guards and the Jiangbei camp are also under the control of the emperor, I believe that the emperor will come down later." Everyone is still waiting for the news! ”

Before Qin Minzhong's words fell, he heard the sound of "plop, plop" sound non-stop, and in the blink of an eye, there were already kneeling officials in the room, all of them pale.

"Lord Situ, Lord Zongbo, Lord Si Xian, please save your humble duties!" One by one, the officials kowtowed to Qin Minzhong and the three of them, and said with tears in their eyes.

Qin Minzhong looked at the officials who were busy kneeling and kowtowing in front of him, couldn't help but sigh, and said slowly: "Everyone, you are all all hard to study in the cold window, where are the bones of the scholars?" There is gold under the man's knees, kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, kneeling to the emperor and parents in the middle, what are you kneeling down to us for? ”

"Please help Lord Situ!" The people who were kneeling on the ground did not get up, but still pleaded eagerly.

Seeing his former colleagues, an inexplicable sadness rose in Qin Min's center, he sighed, and then said, "The old man knows what you think. But first ask yourself, what have you done all these years? You don't need to beg us, your fate is in the hands of heaven, and if heaven wants you to die, no one can save you. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Minzhong's eyes were like blades looking at the ministers in the room, and under Qin Minzhong's gaze, the officials kneeling on the ground couldn't help but bow their heads in shame...... And Cao Yuanshan chose to leave quietly.

"Hey!" Qin Minzhong let out another long sigh, closed his eyes and said, "You all get up!" The emperor is a benevolent gentleman, what to do, you can do it yourself! ”

With that, he turned and sat back in the chair and said no more.

The ministers who were kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly stood up at the same time, turned around and swarmed out of the room. They rushed out of the court room one by one, came to the square in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, and knelt straight down against the dragon chair in the hall!

"Two adults, in your opinion, can the emperor spare them? I heard that many people wrote letters of allegiance to Zu Donglai! Lin Bai looked at the ministers kneeling straight in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, shook his head helplessly, and asked Qin Minzhong and Yang Bozheng.

Qin Minzhong nodded lightly, glanced at the people who were still in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Although the emperor is young and looks cynical, he is actually a rare master in the world, who is loyal and who is traitorous, although the emperor did not say it, but he knows it very well in his heart. The old man has nothing to say to everyone, only one sentence, which the emperor has said since the beginning of his accession to the throne, I hope everyone can remember - serve the king with sincerity, do more practical things, and be less selfish - to do this, there is only good for everyone, no harm. ”

The room was silent, they quietly understood Qin Minzhong's words, and they all nodded thoughtfully......

As time passed, the foreheads of the ministers kneeling in the square outside began to gradually ooze sweat, and this sweat was not hot sweat, but cold sweat from freezing. Although the sun had risen, it had snowed all night last night, and the snow had been stored on the ground, and when the temperature of the human body gradually turned into snow, soaking the clothes of the ministers, and then blowing by the cold wind, it froze again, and the taste was really not easy for these pampered ministers to endure.

That's it, the ministers who knelt on the ground still knelt there one by one, and none of them withdrew, and they knew that although they had suffered some pain in front of them, it was really nothing compared to their lives......

Finally, someone came out of the arrogant house, and everyone's hearts immediately lifted, and one by one they stared at the people who came......

Gradually, everyone saw that it was Xiao Ying, the great eunuch beside the emperor, who came.

Xiao Ying didn't look at the hundreds of officials kneeling in the square, and came straight to the courtroom, standing facing south, pulling the throat of the male duck, and shouting in a high-pitched and passionate voice: "The emperor has a decree, and the hundred officials go to the court!" ”

In the Xuanzheng Palace, although there were already hundreds of civil and military officials, there was no sound coming out, quietly, especially those who had been kneeling in the square for a long time, and they were even more silent. For the first time in their lives, they felt that this hall was so solemn and so cold, and the cold air drilled straight into people's bones......

Suddenly, the sound of the jade chime sounded, and the officials were in high spirits, and the corners of their eyes swept over, and they found that two palace maids holding fans had walked out and stood behind the throne; Then Yue'er and a young guard with a smile on their faces walked out and stood on either side of the throne.

Li Guanqi walked slowly, although the look on his face was a little haggard, but his pace was still steady.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The shouts of the ministers echoed throughout the hall......

In an instant, a pride that had never risen before rose from his heart, and a faint smile appeared on Li Guanqi's slightly pale face. Since the crossing, he can finally catch his breath.

"Get up!" Li Guanqi's gaze swept over the main hall and said in a soft voice.

"Emperor Xie!" The civil and military officials shouted again at the same time, slowly stood up, and lined up on both sides of the main hall, one by one silent.

Li Guanqi glanced at the civil and military officials in the main hall, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "I know that you are all very curious, so I won't go around the bend with you, something did happen last night." ”

Seeing that no one in the hundred officials made a sound, Li Guanqi continued: "I think you have all guessed that Zu Dong came to make a rebellion last night, attacked the imperial city, and tried to kill me!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi paused again, and his gaze swept over the civil and military officials in the hall again. The gaze swept over the ministers, and it made people shudder.

Taking a deep breath, Li Guanqi continued: "But fortunately, with the protection of Taizu and Taizong's Holy Spirit, all the rebels who attacked the imperial city have been killed, and as for Zu Donglai, he has already committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”

As soon as Li Guanqi spoke, there was a commotion in the hall. It's not that they don't believe that Zu Donglai is dead, but they can't believe that Zu Donglai will commit suicide!
