Chapter 55: Accountability

Early in the morning, Shen You came to say goodbye to Tang Sha, saying that there was an urgent matter to deal with there.

Tang Sha saw that Xie Chuan had nothing abnormal in the past two days, and it was not good to keep him for a long time.

When Shen You left, he gave Tang Sha a few prescriptions. borrowed a few of Tang Sha's notebooks and promised to return them in a while.

Tang Sha naturally borrowed it, and Shen You saved Xie Chuan's life without receiving a penny. Although he was entrusted by the Qing government, saving people depends on his medical skills after all. She is a person, and she will repay her kindness.

I don't know what happened to General Zhou, the only thing I can do now is to explore the truth and collect more information.

Tang Sha got dressed and went out directly.

……

Early in the morning, the officials of the imperial court entered the palace dressed neatly.

Then he waited quietly for the arrival of the emperor in the court.

Ye Chen didn't go to court for two days, so those big Confucians played every day. Naturally, there is no way to hide like this, and national affairs still have to be dealt with.

Yesterday, he specially called Ye Xuanyuan and asked him to go to court today to help him resist the tongue gun.

"The emperor has arrived!" With the eunuch's voice, Ye Chen wore a bright yellow dragon robe and stepped on the golden silk dragon boots, walked onto the jade platform, and sat down on the dragon chair. The posture is upright, and the face is like a jade crown, no worse than the so-called four sons.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Ye Chen raised his hand.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." Lin Gonggong, the eunuch beside Ye Chen, said in a sharp voice.

The officials below all know who speaks on the cusp of this wave and who suffers.

But there are always some people who are never afraid of Ye Chen, especially the kind of respected Confucian.

Sure enough, at this time, Lu Pengyun, a veteran of the two dynasties, stood up from the team, took the sign in his hand, raised his hand and bent down to make a standard salute, his movements were rigorous and meticulous.

"Your Majesty, you have not been in the court for two days, since the founding of the country, the emperors have been conscientious and have never let go of the affairs of the court. The emperor's approach is also a precedent. The minister thought that this matter was inappropriate, and he should worship the emperor to show his repentance and strive to be a model for the ministers. ”

What if a slightly more brutal monarch listened to such a thing? But Ye Chen has long been used to it, and Lu Pengyun is like this when he speaks.

He is also very talented personally, and he dares to speak out. I have to say that Ye Chen is most afraid of him.

If he doesn't agree today, he'll feel better.

"This matter is indeed my fault, I went to the temple to worship in the back. Is Lord Lu so satisfied? ”

"My emperor is wise, how fortunate the world is!" Lu Pengyun sighed, and then retreated.

This Ye Chen is indeed a Ming Jun of Chana Yayan, and the first emperor did not see the wrong person.

"What else?"

Because Ye Chen had a positive attitude in admitting his mistakes, no one came out to criticize him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, my brother has something to play." At this moment, a low and pleasant voice sounded.

Ye Xuanyuan was dressed in a dark purple court dress, his hair was neatly tied up, he wore a purple and gold crown, and a string of purple jade prayer beads hung down from the crown, which made his complexion become fairer and fairer after two months of sunbathing.

For some reason, Ye Chen always had a bad premonition.

"Play." Maizhi, Maizhi, this is not the same as saying yes.

Ye Xuanyuan bowed and said coldly: "Brother Chen recently heard an interesting incident, which made the minister have a different view of the imperial city. Most of the tone was sarcastic.

Fools know that this war king is afraid that he is looking for trouble

Ye Chen frowned slightly, the interesting thing that Mai Zhi could bring up above the court must be a funeral.

"What?" Ye Chen asked.

"The younger brother heard that three days ago, there were ruffians in the south of the city who made trouble in the streets, not only injured the person from Xiaoming Bookstore, but also framed the person who stole one hundred taels of silver. The bookstore owner didn't recognize it, and the group demolished the store.

There were no less than 30 people fighting, but no one stopped them. I don't know if this is a dereliction of duty or if someone is deliberately inactive.

Xiao Ming Bookstore is just an example, they have been asking for silver taels all over the imperial city for a long time, and if they don't give it, they will threaten their lives.

The courtiers also heard that these people came from the slums. A few days ago, Yifeng and Ye Yu were also attacked in the slums, but no one pursued them, and the younger brother just wanted to ask, in the grand city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing would happen, where is Tianwei? Where is the will of the people? ”

Ye Xuanyuan can be said to be to the point, he is never afraid of offending anyone. He is not in Beijing all the year round, but he didn't expect these people to be so rampant now.

Ye Chen's brows became tighter and tighter, Xiao Ming Bookstore? Isn't this the place where Mai Zhi wanted to take him a few days ago?

Slums have always been a long-standing problem, not that Ye Chen didn't dare to move. It's just that......

"What does the War King think about this matter?"

"Accountability." Ye Xuanyuan said two words directly, but it was like a stone thrown into still water, and he was surprised by the ripples in circles.

The ministers began to whisper, and the court suddenly turned into a bustling city.

"If you send troops into this slum, it will cause some turmoil."

"It's long past time to suppress the arrogance of this group of people!"

"But if there are no slums, what will happen to the people inside?"

……

"Silence! This is the court! Ye Chen was annoyed by the noise, and now he regretted letting Ye Xuanyuan come to the court.

The ministers immediately fell silent, bowed their heads and stopped talking. Most of the officials are waiting...... Watching a play.

"Your Majesty! I think it's inappropriate! As soon as Lu Pengyun's voice sounded, Ye Chen helped his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked patiently.

The old man asked, how did the king of war know that the people in the bookstore were framed? It would be biased to hold the slums accountable in this way! Slum crackdown is easy, but it's not just a matter of accountability, it's the will of the people! If it is rumored that my Chen Guo does not treat the poor people, but solves them by force, how can the people of the world afford it? ”

Lu Pengyun did get to the point, people are sympathetic to the weak.

Ye Xuanyuan naturally saw Ye Chen's embarrassment at this time, raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he was still at ease.

"What Lord Lu said is not true." Ye Xuanyuan also stood up at this time.

"Lord Lu, this first question, Lord Zhou is probably the most qualified to talk about." Ye Xuanyuan smiled and looked at Zhou Fang behind him.

Zhou Fang didn't expect Ye Xuanyuan, this kid, to drag him out and glared at him fiercely. This kid is a fox.

Zhou Fang naturally couldn't be silent at this time, and stepped out of the military attache team and saluted Ye Chen. Then he turned to Lu Pengyun and said, "Hmph! Old man Lu, do you mean that General Ben's righteous son would do something that only such a young man would do for the sake of a mere hundred taels of silver? ”

As soon as Zhou Fang's words came out, everyone present was shocked, and Ye Chen was no exception.

Everyone knows that Zhou Fang has only one daughter, and he loves him very much. I haven't heard of anything to receive a righteous son.

Lu Pengyun was also stunned by the question, Zhou Fangyizi? No wonder the Nine Kings would mention this matter, it must have been Zhou Fang's picking!

"So that's what Lord Zhou meant!" Lu Pengyun couldn't help but say sarcastically.

The people present were not stupid, and they naturally saw who caused this incident today.
