Chapter 706: Emperor Geng's Twenty-Year Old Case
Chapter 706 Emperor Geng's Twenty-Year Old Case
It's amazing.
Several officials who had close contacts with Lou Baiyun also got up, bowed their fists and saluted the young emperor and queen.
Although most of the remaining officials were watching from the sidelines, their eyes flashed slightly, and they seemed to have their own plans in their hearts.
Feng Ge succeeded to the throne, and Changning was sealed.
Long live them.
But if you ask these officials, do they really submit to the young emperor? Do you really think Feng Ge will be a Mingjun? Are you willing to be sent by Feng Ge? Are you willing to see the young emperor as your lifelong follower?
Most of them don't know how to respond.
As courtiers, it seemed natural for them to be loyal to the king. But to ask Feng Ge's personal charm can conquer everyone and make the courtiers willingly use it? I'm afraid it's still a little difficult.
Today's move by Lou Xiang undoubtedly broke this deadlock.
Feng Ge slowly got up and looked around at everyone. Then he said in a deep voice: "Your wishes, I will never let them down. Years later...... I will not let you regret what you say today. ”
Everyone's eyes were slightly condensed, led by Lou Baiyun, kneeling on the ground to thank him.
Thanks to Feng Ge for giving them the opportunity to show their talents, thanks to Feng Ge for being an eclectic character, they are full of ambitions, and they will be realized under the leadership of the young emperor.
More and more people are joining the prostration.
The main hall was solemn, and a ...... Ten...... Twenty ...... In the end, His Highness knelt down.
Xie Xiang was the last to kneel, and he had no idea what was going on.
One moment ago, he was still crusading against the surnamed Lou in the palace, reprimanding him for arrogance and disrespecting the emperor, why did he kneel and salute the next moment, and the emperor's reaction was ...... made Xie Xiang's heart sink.
Lou Baiyun's clear height is almost comparable to Yunchi in the capital.
Xie Xiang didn't dare to provoke Yun Chi because of Yun Chi's background, and he had the blood of the Feng family in his body.
But the surname Lou is ...... It's just that because of his father's high position, his father opened his mouth to Emperor Geng before resigning, and Emperor Geng easily agreed.
The surname Lou is young, and he became Lou Xiang as soon as he crossed out, and he was on a par with him.
Xie Xiang has been working hard for more than ten years, so he has such a position. But what about the surname Lou? Recruit a few young boys to chant poetry at home, and occasionally hold a tea party and flower party, which is praised for being elegant and unparalleled. No one objected to it from top to bottom, and after succeeding him, what did the surnamed Lou do?
Even the last dynasty fished for three days and dried nets for two days.
Emperor Geng has not been mentally concerned in recent years. He opened his eyes and closed his eyes to the surname Lou.
This is completely irresponsible in Xie Xiang's opinion, he is simply a demon king of the world. is such a person, who actually won the favor of the young emperor.
What the hell is the way of the world.
Xie Xiang muttered unwillingly. Although Xie Xiang's voice was not loud, the two were close, so Lou Baiyun heard it.
In the past, he disdained the calculation of the surname Xie. He wished that the surname Xie would circle around Emperor Geng a few more times, and the best Emperor Geng only had the surname Xie in his eyes, so he could spend his days at home with nothing to do.
But this time and that time.
“…… Today, His Majesty and Niangniang feasted to entertain the ministers, etc., and when such a beautiful day is beautiful, it is not suitable to say something disappointing. But some ministers don't vomit and are unhappy...... The minister wants to impeach a person, and this person is in a high position as prime minister, but he does not remember the emperor's grace and disregards virtue. Secretly colluding with people.
Take the opportunity to raise prices in the capital.
Make a fortune in national distress.
This is only in the capital, far from the capital, it is even more unscrupulous. In the winter of the twentieth year of Emperor Geng, hundreds of hungry people starved to death on the streets. ”
The twentieth year of Emperor Geng was two years ago. Xiao Ying heard Miao Xiaogongzi mention it, saying that it was very cold that winter, and people froze to death in many places.
However, in the summer of that year, several counties were also hit by floods, and there was no harvest of autumn grain.
Fortunately, Taiping County is still peaceful, and the people have food to eat, although it is very cold, but it fills their stomachs, and it seems that people are warmer.
However, outside Taiping County, it seems that a large number of displaced people are heading south.
She also mentioned it to Feng Ge when she chatted, Feng Ge said that he was 'drunk and dreamed of death' at that time, and the major and minor affairs of Taiping County were controlled by the Yin family, and all he could do as a puppet was to prevent the people in his county from starving to death, as for the outside of Taiping County...... There was nothing he could do.
Xiao Ying didn't like Feng Ge's self-deprecating tone.
I also felt sorry for Feng Ge at that time, and I never mentioned it again after that.
Xiao Ying only knew that the twentieth year of Emperor Geng was a disaster year, but how many people were killed and injured due to the disaster, and to what extent the disaster was made, Xiao Ying didn't know.
Today, I suddenly heard Lou Baiyun mention it in the hall, and I couldn't help but look at it slightly. She glanced at everyone, as if Lou Baiyun's actions were beyond all expectations. Even the officials who advanced and retreated with him showed surprise on their faces.
It seems that he didn't expect Lou Baiyun to choose such a time to say such a thing.
Who is he impeaching? It seems to go without saying.
There are two prime ministers, one surnamed Xie and the other surnamed Lou. Now what Lou Baiyun said when he opened his mouth was naturally Xie Xiang.
Xie Xiang didn't expect that the person surnamed Lou would bite him back. He just said that he was unruly in his speech and behavior, and he was a minister in the same hall, and he still saved face for the surname Lou.
And the matter of Emperor Geng's twenty years ......
Emperor Geng didn't say anything at that time.
Could it be that after two years, the new emperor still has to pursue it?
"Lou Xiang, you have to talk about evidence. Back then, I was ordered to provide disaster relief...... I don't dare to say that I am foolproof. Hundreds of people froze to death on the streets, and they must be held accountable. It seems that the local prefectural ordinance is the culprit. As for what you said about taking the opportunity to raise prices? In the year of the catastrophe, prices rose, and who did not understand this truth.
What's more, our Xie family only has a few shops, and it is really nothing in a place like the capital where the richest people gather.
Even if all the prices in the Xie family's shop increase a few times, it will not affect the overall situation. Lou Xiang made this accusation...... It doesn't make sense. ”
The old thing was brought up again, and everyone in the temple was silent. Some are timid, and even the atmosphere does not dare to come out, the matter of Emperor Geng's twenty years ...... It seems to be a thunder, and no one wants to step on it.
Xiao Ying looked at these heads lowered, a picture of the courtiers they didn't want to participate in, and knew that there must be something hidden in it. If her guess is correct, this matter is not only implicated in Xie Xiang, I'm afraid ...... The implications are wide-ranging.
Xiao Ying looked at Feng Ge.
Feng Ge was silent, with a look on his face that could not distinguish between joy and anger.
"Since I opened my mouth, there is naturally evidence. Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to bring the hundreds of innocent deaths to justice. ”
"Twenty years of Emperor Geng...... Okay, very. Xie Aiqing, Lou Aiqing. The two of you stay, and the other ministers, kneel in peace. The courtiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't want to watch the excitement at this time.
It's nice to be lively, but you have to have a life to watch.
Twenty years of Emperor Geng...... It's really a taboo subject.
Lou Baiyun, who is usually silent and not very careful, wants to be loyal to the courtiers and the emperor for the first time. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the twentieth year of Emperor Geng......
In that case, Emperor Geng personally issued a gag order, and ...... Emperor Geng's attitude at that time was obvious. is not pursued, no matter what Xie Xiang did back then, it seems that Emperor Geng took it for him.
Unexpectedly, Feng Gechu succeeded to the throne.
Someone said the words Emperor Geng's twenty years as a palace. And the person who spoke turned out to be Lou Baiyun.
A young man who was exceptionally promoted by the emperor because of his ancestral merits. Since he has shown his loyalty, the most important thing to do at this time is not to obey orders everywhere, be anxious about what the emperor is anxious about, and worry about what the emperor is worried about. Expand the land for the new emperor and take the lead?
But after he showed his loyalty, he immediately mentioned Emperor Geng for twenty years.
And in front of the Manchu Dynasty, he did not hide it, and directly aimed the spearhead at Xie Xiang.
The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the left and right sides are fighting each other...... Although everyone is curious about the ending, they may be willing to stay. Even if you like to listen to gossip, you have to save your life first.
Soon, the temple retreated.
In the end, Feng Ge made a look, and the waiter Xilai retreated quietly, and did not forget to close the palace door for a few people, Nuoda's palace, and in the end there were only four people.
The young emperor. Lou Baiyun and Xie Xiang.
When the courtiers were there just now, the entire hall seemed crowded, and even felt like they couldn't breathe. But all of a sudden, everyone left, leaving only a few small pieces of leftovers, but the hall seemed surprisingly empty.
Xie Xiang seemed to be frightened, and his face turned pale.
On the other hand, the young Lou Xiang has a straight body and a very calm expression on his face.
Xiao Ying lowered her head slightly, thinking that she was really a hard worker! Twenty years of Emperor Geng...... These taboo words seem to be about to see the light of day again.
Feng Ge didn't speak, Xie Xiang and Lou Baiyun didn't seem to have the intention of opening, and the monarch and the ministers confronted each other in silence for a moment.
In the end, it was Xie Xiang, who had the worst psychological endurance, who opened his mouth. He fell to his knees with a thud, slammed his head to the ground, and then choked on his head and staggered a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty, Xia Guan really hasn't done the things that Lord Lou pointed to. Price gouging? Hungry to death? Even if the lower officials have the courage to do something wrong at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Lord Lou, Xia Guan really doesn't deal with adults. But adults can't be wronged because of this.
Although my Xie family does not dare to say that it is a martyr.
But my Xie family's loyalty to His Majesty is evident.
Over the years, my Xie family has received great favor from the first emperor, and I have served the first emperor conscientiously, and I never dare to have a perfunctory heart.
The first emperor passed away, and he was also extremely loyal to His Majesty and the lower officials. The loyalty of the lower officials to His Majesty will definitely not be lower than that of Lord Lou.
...... year
Your Majesty must have given birth to the anger of an official. Xia Guan did not look down on His Majesty, it was too far away from the capital in Taiping County. Xiaguan ...... Reluctant. Xie Xiang was a little open-mouthed, he was bent on seeking Feng Ge's understanding.
For this reason, I found several opportunities to talk to Feng Ge about this.
But there has been no chance.
Feng Ge didn't have time to see him, Xie Xiang was simply scratching his heart, he had already regretted his intestines.
If you had known earlier...... knew that one day Feng Ge would succeed to the throne. Back then, he would never forcibly stop his daughter and Feng Ge.
But halfway through speaking, he realized that Empress Changning was also there.
At this time, it was too clear that it was difficult to guarantee that Changning would not taste it, Xie Xiang realized in time that the last sentence was ambiguous.
Xie Xiang thought he was witty enough. didn't say anything that the queen didn't like to hear. But she's Xiao Ying...... Is there anything she can't guess and can't see?
What Xie Xiang wanted to say, she saw through it at a glance. Xie Xiang regretted it, regretting that he had tried his best to prevent Xie Fei and Feng Ge from interacting.
If he had known today, he would have tried his best to match his daughter with His Royal Highness Feng Wu.
Xiao Ying felt funny, and at this time, Xie Xiang brought out Xie Fei...... Did he feel that the hatred value was not enough, so he came to pull the hatred?
She has a very poor relationship with Xie Fei, doesn't Xie Xiang know? Or does the surnamed Xie feel that Feng Ge will open up to Xie Fei for the sake of Xie Fei? Feng Ge will take care of Xie Fei's family in front of her? It's simply ...... Stupid on stupid, stupid to the extreme.
Xie Xiang's hands and feet are not clean, which Xiao Ying is not surprised at all.
Which one is in a high position, the hands and feet are really clean.
Just like Yunchi, people often give generous gifts. Master Yun sometimes collects it, Yun Chi said. Accept it, just accept a few gifts, is it still a violation of the great king law?
After all, Yunchi has an extraordinary background, and there is no shortage of silver in his hands. But sometimes they still 'know the law and break the law'.
Xie Xiangyi has a large family, and it is said that his son is still a loser, and his monthly income of 100 taels of silver is really not enough.
And I heard that Mrs. Xie is extremely extravagant.
The jewelry at home can be opened directly in a shop.
Compared with Yun Chi, the surname Xie is secretly collecting some money, as long as he doesn't do things that hurt the heavens and reason, Feng Ge and Xiao Ying won't care. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and you can't let these officials really live on their own money.
When you enter the office, you always have to socialize.
Occasional exchanges of feelings between colleagues always cost money.
As long as there is a degree, as long as they don't cross the line, Xiao Ying and Feng Ge can open one eye and close one eye.
However, Xie Xiang has obviously crossed the line a long time ago, and he has made great strides. This can be seen from the Xie family.
Whenever Xie Fei appeared, the clothes on his body were worthless.
The jewelry is inlaid with gold and emerald, which is extremely luxurious.
Beauty relies on clothes and makeup, which is naturally more beautiful than beautiful. But Feng Ge doesn't appreciate it, maybe the man prefers Xie Fei's tune.
Feng Ge really planned to start with Xie Xiang to rectify the dynasty. What Lou Baiyun did today was simply to build a broad road for Feng Ge directly. Xiao Ying narrowed her eyes, thinking that what Lou Baiyun did today was to take the opportunity to express her position? Or did he see Feng Ge's thoughts, so he ...... Yielded.
"Back then? What happened back then? ”
Feng Ge finally spoke, but the question had nothing to do with the case.
Xie Xiang had time and didn't know how to respond.
It can be seen that Feng Ge seems to be really puzzled, and Changning on the side has a faint expression. Xie Xiang suddenly thought, if there is no such Changning...... Maybe it was his daughter who was sitting next to Feng Ge at this time. If his Fei'er became the queen, how could the surnamed Lou dare to impeach him so boldly in front of the courtiers?
And back then, the young five princes did have a lot of interest in their daughters.
To explain here, Xie Xiang's misunderstanding is a bit big. Back then, in order to see Feng Ge more, Xie Fei did everything possible to make a handkerchief with Feng Yuexin.
She entered the palace many times because Feng Yuexin interceded in front of Queen Qi. Queen Qi saw that her daughter liked to get along with Xie Fei, and Queen Qi, who had always doted on her daughter, naturally would not refuse such a trivial matter.
so much so that it was misunderstood by Xie Xiang......
It was Feng Ge who wanted to see Xie Fei, so Xie Fei was invited to the palace.
This misunderstanding...... Not only big, it's just outrageous.
