Chapter 329: Guo Tong quibbled
Just when Wei Rong was angry at home because of Guo Yushi's matter, Feng Shencai finally woke up, and as soon as he heard that Feng Shencai had woken up, Wei Rong and Bai Feng and the two of them hurriedly went to his room to see him.
"Feng Shencai, are you alright? Seeing you come back in a dizzy way scared us out. How's it going, are you feeling better? Wei Rong asked with great concern.
Bai Feng also asked him behind Wei Rong: "Feng Shencai, you must not have anything to do, this Emperor Changming has not fallen yet, you can't fall." ”
Although Feng Shencai has no intention of helping him at the moment, Bai Feng still lists him as his ally for the time being, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and before Emperor Changming falls, he must use all the power that can be used.
What's more, Feng Shencai did save himself, and it is not impossible to pull it to his side in the future, and more importantly, Feng Shencai's character is really nothing to say.
Feng Shencai was half lying on the bed, and the thick quilt covered him, but he was even thinner, "I'm fine, but I was tired before, I'm a doctor, I have a good idea of my body, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Wei Rong also said to Imperial Physician Huang: "Imperial Physician Huang, what medicinal materials does King Chang'an's body need, whatever it is, no matter how precious it is, at all costs, you must make King Chang'an's body better, and you must not leave any sequelae." ”
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Huang also obediently accepted the order, and he saw that the three of them should have something to talk about, so he bowed and retreated.
After Imperial Physician Huang left, Wei Rong told Feng Shencai about what had happened in the capital these days.
Hearing Wei Rong say that although they presented all the evidence of Guo Yushi's guilt to Emperor Changming, Emperor Changming turned a deaf ear and did not react at all, no, but when Guo Yushi was promoted, Feng Shencai's heart was also extremely angry.
But he still analyzed rationally: "Emperor Changming really wants to save face, and he can't tolerate betrayal by others, but the more you press him to do it, the more he will go against you, and if you present evidence to him in private, he will think that someone wants to borrow his hand to deal with Guo Yushi, and Guo Yushi is still his person so far, and he has given him a lot of money, how can Emperor Changming listen to you." ”
In fact, Emperor Changming is also a little wronged, he did give Guo Yushi a promotion because of the soup kitchen, when he received Guo Yushi's incriminating evidence, the holy decree of promotion has been issued, he can't go back on his word, according to Emperor Changming's thoughts, he plans to wait for the limelight of this matter to pass before punishing Yushi Guo Tong.
Wei Rong said: "Then what should we do now?" Could it be that he looked at this damn Guo Tong, killed people and set fire to the gold belt, paved roads and bridges without corpses? Looking at his steady progress, stepping on the blood of so many people and climbing up, I felt disgusting! ”
Bai Feng proposed: "It's better to do this, let's just spread what Guo Tong did, poke the matter out directly, and see what Emperor Changming plans to do, the matter is put on the bright side, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb." ”
"It's okay, you first spread the news of Guo Tong's wanton purchase of rice and grain, and see Emperor Changming's reaction, it stands to reason that this matter is already the most evil." What they mean by this is that the evidence they have at hand is like a leaf card, and the cards in their hand should be played slowly, and they can't all be scattered at once.
So the next day, Bai Feng sent people to spread the news that Guo Yushi had maliciously hoarded rice and grain and deliberately raised prices, and for a while, the people in the capital were talking about it.
Everyone didn't expect that there was such a hidden situation behind the rise in rice and grain prices, and they were angry, many people tried their best to buy rice and grain during the lockdown, and now they know that Guo Yushi is actually a hindrance from it, where is he willing to let him go, in line with the idea that the law does not blame the public, and even some people took rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves to smash the grain shop opened by Guo Yushi's wife and brother.
Many people are discussing in the restaurant and tea shop, hoping that the emperor can deal with Guo Tong and hope that the emperor can listen to the people's opinions, probably because the image created by Emperor Changming for them before was too perfect, making them feel that Emperor Changming is an emperor who can listen to the advice of the people.
However, Emperor Changming, the capital of the palace, was very irritable about this matter, just like Feng Shencai's analysis, Emperor Changming was indeed very angry at Guo Tong's deception, but he was also very disgusted that these untouchables dared to rise up and threaten him.
Who do you want to kill, who you want to reward, and where is it their turn to get these people jumping up and down here to point fingers, isn't it because they want to sway the holy will?
Emperor Changming felt that his authority had been provoked, so the more the people wanted to pull Guo Yushi down, the more Emperor Changming wanted to protect him.
It can be said that the emperor's delay in making a ruling is not only the worry of the people, but Guo Tong is also restless at home, and he didn't expect that his purchase of rice and grain would be exposed.
Guo Tong knew that Emperor Changming was ruthless and hated others to conceal it, but he also knew that Emperor Changming's good face, and now that the capital was punishing him, it was very likely that if he took advantage of the situation, there would be a glimmer of life, after all, no one had discovered the real crime.
After thinking about it again, Guo Tong still chose to take the initiative to enter the palace, "Your Majesty, spare your life, the emperor's ministers will explain to you, you must not listen to the rumors outside." Guo Tong ran into Emperor Changming's imperial study, and before he entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed several times, and his forehead was also bruised.
"Huh, explain? Okay, you can explain to me why you are buying rice and grain in the capital, why? Besides, the spotted plague is inextricably linked to you, so don't tell me you don't know. "Emperor Changming actually already knows the truth of the matter, and he just wants to see what ridiculous reasons this Guo Tong will have for explanation.
"Your Majesty - Your Majesty, listen to my explanation, I sent someone to the outside of the city, but I just wanted to buy a field, but inadvertently my people found that someone there seemed to be sick, and came back to tell me, with my intuition, I always felt that the situation was not very good, but Weichen did not dare to publicize it, for fear of disturbing the holy driver, so he would buy rice in the capital, thinking of being prepared."
As soon as Guo Tong said this, he completely chose himself, he was only willing to admit that he maliciously hoarded grain, and just such a thing was also said by him for the good of the people in the capital, "If I hadn't stocked up enough food in advance, how would everyone be able to eat when this epidemic came?" Your Majesty, I also gave you more than half of the porridge! Guo Tong also spoke eloquently.
