Chapter 511: The Decisive Battle of the Golden Palace (Part 3)

Bazhou is reversed.

Hearing this sudden news, the noisy Golden Temple suddenly fell silent.

The silence remained for a long time, and the ministers who should have been angry and shouting and shouting to kill were surprisingly calm today, and they all looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly, even Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the two scholars did not make a sound.

Obviously, the ministers are all thinking at this moment, this is the critical moment to eliminate the traitors, Bazhou can be relegated tomorrow to suppress it, but if Liu Jin is not killed today, at least half of the ministers in the palace will be retaliated by Liu Jin to death tomorrow.

Therefore, the Bazhou rebellion is a digression, and no one wants to divert the topic.

Compared with the reflection of the ministers, Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and others were so happy, they really wanted to doze off and sent a pillow to the sky, this is a God-given opportunity, quickly shift the topic to the matter of the rebellion in Bazhou, coupled with Liu Jin's emotional performance just now, today's changes will definitely be invisible.

In the quiet hall, Zhu Houzhao's body shook and showed a gloomy smile: "The rebellion of King Anhua has just been pacified, and Bazhou has rebelled again...... Could it be that this emperor has done such a failure that the rebellions in the world have come and gone, and there is an endless stream of them? ”

The ministers were silent, but they thought so in their hearts.

Zhu Houzhao's emotion is to the point, it can be said that there is something to say, aren't you just a dumb gentleman? If the monarch has no way, the world will rebel against the army, which is very logical.

Liu Jin was lying in the hall, suddenly got up, knelt down facing Zhu Houzhao, the sad and depressed state just now was instantly swept away, and his spirit was full of energy and said loudly: "Your Majesty." First level the foreign enemy and then discuss internal affairs, Bazhou is only more than 100 miles away from the Beijing Division, the anti-army can come every day, His Majesty and your ministers should hurry up to discuss how to quell the anti-army, this side is the first priority, the old slave people can't run in the palace, and it is not too late to discuss the crime of the old slave after the rebellion is extinguished by the imperial court in the coming day. ”

The ministers' hearts sank.

If the topic is really diverted by Liu Jin by taking advantage of the Bazhou incident, where will the ministers in the palace have the opportunity to discuss Liu Jin's crime again in the future? I'm afraid that if I leave the palace gate today, I will be taken to the edict and sentenced to death......

Several imperial historians stood in the middle of the court and opened their mouths, wanting to object, but they opened their mouths but didn't know what reason to come out. In a big sense. Liu Jin is not wrong, first pacifying foreign enemies and then discussing internal affairs is irrefutable, and then look at the appearance of His Majesty who swore to protect Liu Jin. Even though they are against it. Does it work?

The ministers were extremely anxious and worried. However, Zhu Houzhao was happy, he had the same idea as Liu Jin, and finally there was a righteous and stern incident that took Liu Jin out.

Zhu Houzhao got up and sat back on the dragon chair. looked at the ministers of the full hall and sneered a few times: "Look at Liu Jin's words of loyalty to the country, and then look at you ministers who only know about internal strife and power struggle, I really have mixed feelings in my heart...... Okay, let's put aside the discussion for the time being, let's talk about the pacification of the rebellion in Bazhou first, Bi Yun, you talk carefully, what's going on in Bazhou? Who is so bold and rebelling? ”

Bi Yun is the old eunuch who entered the palace just now to report the news.

Speaking of this old eunuch, it can be said that he is an old-timer in the palace, and his qualifications are much higher than Liu Jin, and he is a figure in the same period as Xiao Jing and Wang Yue.

Bi Yun saw Zhu Houzhao asking, and hurriedly bowed his waist like a shrimp, and said: "Your Majesty, Bazhou has rebelled last night, and the leader of the anti-thieves is Zhang Mao, the biggest green horse thief in Bazhou, and there is also a woman who is also one of the leaders, but it is the Marquis of Shanyin, the Marquis of Qin, who escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin, and escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, named Tang Zihe, in the past few months, she ran to Bazhou with the remnants of the 3,000 White Lotus Sect who escaped from Tianjin, and instigated together with Zhang Mao, with a total of more than 5,000 troops. Last night, they captured Bazhou City in one fell swoop......"

Liu Jin said angrily: "What a bold anti-thief! Hum! Why did Qin Kan ...... this Tang Zihe at the beginning?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jin suddenly stopped, he wanted to take the opportunity to bite Qin Kan, but he suddenly thought that he was not completely out of danger at this time, in case he provoked several of Qin Kan's henchmen to be disgusted, and united with the ministers of the palace to join him, it would be more than worth the loss.

So Liu Jin urgently changed his words: "Hmph! These thieves are lawless, if they don't send troops to pacify them, they still think that our court kings are muddy, and they can rebel if they want to. Bi Yun, tell Your Majesty and the ministers, why are these people opposed? ”

Bi Yunchao glanced at Liu Jin, who had recovered his flying posture not far away, and his face suddenly showed a strange look, and he was silent for a while.

Liu Jin was anxious, stomped his feet and said, "You are talking!" ”

Ai Ai Dao during the Biyun period: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu, Bazhou Zhang Mao and Tang Zihe rebelled, but the reason for this is ...... But it is because of it...... Father-in-law Liu. ”

After finishing speaking, Yun was still afraid that others would not know which Liu Gonggong was the same as the Dao, so he cautiously pointed at Liu Jin and said, "...... Liu Jin, Liu Gonggong. ”

"Huh?" Liu Jin was shocked, and his face turned white again.

There was a snort from many ministers in the court, and even Yan Song's originally unexpected face also showed a gloating smile, and countless ministers suddenly lifted their spirits, and their declining momentum immediately became high-spirited.

This old gelding thief, stupid, right? Got yourself in a trap, didn't you?

Zhu Houzhao's brows gradually tightened, he pursed his lips and sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, his eyes swept over Bi Yun and stopped at Liu Jin, but he was unspeakably surprised and disheartened.

Liu Jin froze in place, stunned, his face turned red and white, gradually turned blue, and then suddenly jumped up on the spot, and screamed: "Why is it a miscellaneous family?" The miscellaneous family dug up your ancestral grave or what? Why do you have to get along with miscellaneous people? Bi Yun! Are you, old bastard, joining forces with them to fix me? ”

Although Bi Yun is also a eunuch, he has an honest temperament, Liu Jin is powerful, and Bi Yun has always been very respectful to him, but respect does not mean that he is afraid of things, how can he say that he is also an old eunuch of the three dynasties, and his qualifications are here.

Hearing Liu Jin bite like a mad dog, Bi Yun's face also became gloomy. Squinting at Liu Jin and snorting coldly: "Father-in-law Liu, this matter is not a miscellaneous arrangement, that's what the military newspaper said, after Bazhou was occupied by anti-thieves last night, a brocade-clothed guard Baihu took advantage of the chaos to run out of the wall along the root of the wall, and overnight Pegasus galloped to Jingshi to report the news, and at this time the people were still waiting outside the palace, he brought the anti-thief's notice of peace and security, and the anti-thief posted the text of Bazhou City overnight, and the text clearly said that the rebellion was related to Liu Gonggong. It's not an exaggeration to say that you forced you to rebel......"

As he spoke, Bi Yun took out two pieces of paper from his arms. One is an Anmin notice, and the other is a text, holding Zhu Houzhao with both hands.

A little eunuch took it with a whisk and respectfully handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

looked at the notice and text in Zhu Houzhao's hand. Liu Jin's eyes were frightened. Weak knees.

At this moment he remembered someone. - His domestic servant, Liang Hong, the eunuch of the Qincha Admiral who was sent by him to Bazhou to loot silver!

If the rebellion in Bazhou has something to do with him, it must be that Liang Hong said something to the rebels......

The heart that has just fallen back into the stomach. Suddenly hanging in his throat again, Liu Jin looked at the text in Zhu Houzhao's hand, and wanted to know what was written on the road, so that he could have time to make up the reason for the explanation.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Wen quietly, the more he looked at it, the colder his face became, and a deep disappointment swirled in his heart.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao slowly folded the text and the notice, met the eager gaze of the ministers of the palace, and sighed leisurely: "Liu Jin ......"

"Old, old slave."

Zhu Houzhao stared at him, and his tone had become cold unconsciously: "The text said that you ordered the admiral eunuch Liang Hong to raid Bazhou, the heavy endowment of Bazhou, and the horse politics of Bazhou, causing the people of Bazhou to sell their sons and daughters, ten rooms and nine empty, countless good people were forced by you to become horse thieves, and the thief Zhang Mao gathered more than 2,000 thieves in just one year......"

Liu Jin trembled and hissed, "Your Majesty! As you just said, how can you believe that the text is an excuse for the thieves to usurp the world? Your Majesty, the world can wronged the old slave, Your Majesty, you are the old slave's day, the sky can't wronged me! ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "This text says that the score is clear, and the reason for your heavy endowment is that I want to build a leopard house, Liu Jin, isn't my leopard house full of silver?" When did I ask you to collect taxes from the people of Bazhou? Where did the money go? ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave really doesn't know, even if it is really something, it is the people below who are cheating and looting under the banner of the old slave, and the old slave really doesn't know!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly: "King Anhua's text said that he was forced to rebel, and Bazhou Zhang Mao's text also said that he was forced to rebel by you, how do you teach me to believe that both are coincidences?" Liu Jin ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At. ”

Zhu Houzhao stared at the dazzling sunlight outside the palace gate with empty eyes, and said quietly: "I ...... Can I still believe you? ”

"Your Majesty! The old slave was wrongedβ€”"

"Don't shout injustice, I read two documents at the same time today, and now I gradually understand one thing, Liu Jin ......" Zhu Houzhao stared at him complicatedly, and sighed: "You are really notorious, maybe you are indeed loyal to me, but I really can't let you take care of this country on my behalf anymore, Daming Sheji is the inheritance left to me by my ancestors, and it can't be destroyed in your hands...... Early tomorrow morning, you go back to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. ”

"Your Majestyβ€”" Liu Jin fell to his knees softly, screaming in despair.

Zhu Houzhao turned his back to Liu Jin and sighed heavily.

Today, his mood went from big to down, and then from great joy to great sorrow, until after reading Zhang Mao's essay in Bazhou, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been knocked with a stick and suddenly woke up.

Liu Jin is indeed loyal, but ...... He was left with only loyalty.

Zhu Houzhao was suddenly full of deep disappointment with Liu Jin at this moment, and this disappointment was more heart-wrenching than anger.

In the hall, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Yan Song and others had bright eyes.

Right now! It's time for the fire!

The eyes of the three of them unconsciously glanced outside the temple gate.

A cautious figure appeared at the door of the Fengtian Temple at this time, cowering and kneeling outside the high threshold.

"The slave and maid are the master of ceremonies, and the eunuch Dai Yi of the commander of the East Factory has something important to do!"
