On the second day of the full moon banquet, Ji Shen made an exception to hold a great court - he wanted to sleep in the Yongchun Palace until three poles above the sun, but the ministers gathered outside the Chengtian Gate from the third watch to kneel, and the driving momentum of this palace admonition even after Nie Yuansheng heard the news could not sit still, and hurriedly took Zhuo Heng and others to rush to the Shanlan Hall with the clothes and crowns worn by the dynasty.

After Ji Shen was awakened, he heard that it was Nie Yuansheng who was there, so he swallowed the words of reprimand, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Through the screen, Nie Yuansheng's voice was still calm, but his speed of speech was a little faster than usual: "Your Majesty, the ministers are now gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, begging Your Majesty to go to the court to discuss the Nuchuan decision, and please ask Your Majesty to quickly change your clothes and go upstairs, listen to the court discussion, and make a holy decision!" ”

Ji Shen was in a trance and asked, "What Nuchuan break?" ”

Nie Yuansheng was stunned, and he didn't have time to explain, so he only said: "I'll say on the road in a while, please ask Your Majesty to change your clothes!" ”

Bu Shunhua was also awakened, she rolled her eyes, pushed Ji Shen, and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, what Nie Sheren said is very true, anyway, what is going on in the court now, Your Majesty doesn't know, Nie Sheren knows best, Your Majesty just go forward with him, and ask Nie Sheren to talk carefully on the way?" ”

Her words seemed to be helping Nie Yuansheng persuade Ji Shen to get up, how could Nie Yuansheng not hear that she was implying that she was suspected of manipulating the government and deceiving Ji Shen? Unconsciously squinted.

Ji Shen was persuaded by the favored concubine Xinchen to get up, Lei Mo knew the seriousness of the matter, and personally took Zhuo Heng and other servants to hug up, waiting for Ji Shen to freshen up and change clothes, wear jade and wear a crown, Nie Yuansheng ordered someone to prepare the emperor before entering the palace, and at this moment he went directly to Chengtianmen, on the way, he had to briefly analyze the matter of the Nuchuan break with Ji Shen, and roughly speculated for a while The reason for the ministers' trouble, Ji Shen was still tired, and said lazily: "Zikai is doing his best, I only vaguely remember such a thing now, Who knows what these old guys will say later? ”

Seeing him like this, Nie Yuansheng had to sigh and said, "Ministers should do their best." ”

When I arrived at Chengtianmen, the sky was not yet bright, and the palace lights were shining on all sides, but I saw that the square was full of courtiers kneeling and knocking, and a few people went to the crown one by one, holding elephant wat in their hands, and taking the lead in kneeling, and there were still a few people with white hair shining, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Ji Shen is young and has very good eyesight, and after a rough look, his face changed, and he asked Nie Yuansheng, who went upstairs with him: "Is it Jiang Yao and Ji Jian over there?" ”

Nie Yuansheng had already noticed it, and said lightly: "I think they came here for the sake of Ji Xiao." ”

"Two old guys!" Ji Shen said in disgust, "Knock tonight, the ministers are forcing the court, it must be them who lead." Immediately, he instructed Lei Mo, "First of all, Feihewei, give those two old goods thirty court staffs!" ”

Lei Mo was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xiang and Ji Xiang are old, and the thirty court staff may not be able to withstand it!" ”

Ji Shen kicked over and scolded in a low voice: "Waste! If not, do I want to listen here to them despise the king? ”

Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran were ordered by the first emperor to assist the government, and they have been loyal for many years, and they are famous all over the world, even the Southern Dynasties have heard of them, and they are famous figures in history, where does Lei Mo dare to take on the infamy of helping Ji Shen beat them to death under the Chengtian Gate?

Therefore, he only cared about kowtowing and pleading, and did not dare to do it, Nie Yuansheng exhaled, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not worried, Your Majesty wants to give Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran a court staff, just because he doesn't want to hear them say more, and the minister has a plan that can make them unable to speak." ”

Only then did Ji Shen let go of Lei Mo and said to Nie Yuansheng: "Will the plan be released?" ”

I saw Nie Yuansheng winceing at Ji Shen, and said to Lei Mo: "Eunuch, announce that the holy drive has arrived!" ”

Lei Mo straightened his clothes, and went to the city tower to announce that the holy car had arrived, and the ministers sang and knocked on it, and Lei Mo was about to tell him something, so he heard an old and rich voice under the city gate shouting: "Your Majesty!" The old minister has something to say! ”

Ji Shen heard that this was Jiang Yao's voice, frowned, and saw Nie Yuansheng pacing beside Lei Mo, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has a life, Nuchuan will break the mouth, and the five counties will be affected!" His Majesty has been dreaming of sleeping all night, worrying and sleepless, and now the ministers are knocking, which is in line with the wishes, and there are very feasible suggestions for the Nuchuan Break and the disaster of the five counties now, come quickly! This is the only thing to discuss today, and the rest is postponed! ”

Jiang Yao came in anger, in order to break the mouth of Nuchuan for more than a month, but Ji Shen did not react, only cared about canonizing the new concubine and celebrating the birth of the emperor's eldest son, ignoring Li Shu's life and death, and didn't want Nie Yuansheng to say a word, so he knocked on the ministers to force Ji Shen to come to the court, saying that Ji Shen had already summoned the ministers to discuss and deal with the matter, and the last sentence was an excuse for the Nuchuan break, which suddenly blocked the reason for the ministers to ask for guilt.

Jiang Yao was so angry that his eyes darkened!

He was about to get up and scold Nie Yuansheng angrily, when Ji Jianran next to him hurriedly pulled him and said in a deep voice: "The five counties are important!" Fu raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Nuchuan water has receded, all the green seedlings of the five counties have drowned, and the chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep are no longer there!" The people of Li are displaced, and the county is hungry from time to time, so I ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people! ”

There was silence on the city tower for a moment, and Ji Shen's voice came down with coldness: "If you want to say that in order to calm the hearts of the people, a few days ago, Ji Xiao still had a notebook, impeaching the Hao family of Yan County and the Zhan family for many illegal things, fish and meat township, and the matter of the Nuchuan break was blamed on these two families...... Ji Ji is also your junior, when he was the Taishou of Yan County, and you were also the right minister, what do you have to say? ”

When Ji Jianran heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to ask for guilt because of the plan!" ”

Jiang Yao immediately said: "Your Majesty, as Nie Sheren just said, today's ministers are asking for a meeting to ask Your Majesty to break the Nuchuan Confession, and the rest will be discussed later!" ”

Nie Yuansheng suggested that Ji Shen seize the Nuchuan Break and make a calculation, but it was just to make the ministers knock on the king's condemnation momentum back, not that he had to ask for the crime today, seeing that Jiang Yao blocked Ji Shen with his own words, he shook his head slightly at Ji Shen, signaling not to continue to pursue the matter of Ji Shen, Ji Shen understood, and snorted coldly: "Holy Judgment? I live in the palace, and I haven't summoned anyone to the palace to discuss, but you have all joined hands to knock on the throne, so it can be seen that you are the one who has the idea, right? ”

Jiang Yao and the others were frustrated again, and they all kowtowed: "The ministers don't dare!" ”

But it was Lou Wangu who came out of the round and said: "Your Majesty, the people in the five counties are now very angry, and Ji Xiao, the Hao family, and the Zhan family shirk their responsibilities to each other, and in the long run, I am afraid that something will happen!" ”

Ji Shen's attention was originally focused on Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran, and he didn't notice that Lou Wangu was also there, but when he heard him speak at this moment, he frowned and whispered, "Why is he here too?" ”

Nie Yuansheng was not surprised, and said quietly: "Since it is the ministers who knock on the throne, and it is Jiang and Ji who take the lead, how can the officials of the court and the central government not be?" I am afraid that the Chinese martial capital is here, so it can be seen that the Nuchuan break is indeed not a small matter, so it is better to take this opportunity to deal with the matter, and it will be clean to go to the hot spring mountain to escape the summer in a few days. ”

"I see." Ji Shen nodded, and followed Lou Wangu's words and said, "I am very worried about this matter, I don't know what advice the ministers have?" ”

- Jiang and Ji asked him to make a holy decision, but Ji Shen blindly asked his subordinates for advice, this is also a helpless thing, Nie Yuansheng has actually told him several times about the Nuchuan break, otherwise Ji Shen will not even have an impression, he is now full of Bu Shunhua and the emperor's eldest son, there are a total of 36 counties in Beiliang, only 5 counties, Ji Shen didn't take it to heart at all.

How can this be holy?

Jiang Yao sighed secretly in his heart, he and Ji Jianran had already been Zhishi, it is said that they should not come out today, but Yan County Taishou is just Ji Xiao, this Nuchuan break was brought to Yan County, not that the other five counties have no problems, but the Hao family and the Zhan family have huge power in these counties, Ji Xiao refuses to bow to them, they have long accumulated a stomach full of resentment, how can they not take this opportunity to publicize Ji Xiao's incompetence and mediocrity, so as to drive him out of Yan County, so that the Taishou, who later became an official, knows the power of the two families?

That Ji Xiao is Ji Jianran's nephew, Jiang Yao also knows it, it sounds like a square person, but he doesn't know how to work around, Jiang Yao didn't agree to ask him to go to Yan County, but Ji Xiao himself insisted on going to "change customs" in the past, and even refused to leave if he was too stubborn to hold on to his job, then Ji Shen hadn't made a fuss about today's right Zhaoyi, and the two prime ministers felt that since they were the favored candidates for the prince of Emperor Gaozu, they couldn't be wrong, if Ji Zhen didn't do well, he would be punished by a few levels at most - and give him a lesson.

I don't want this plan to be fateful, but I just caught up with Nuchuan and decided not to say it, and even Ji Jianran has also hated Ji Shen in the past few years, and he can't protect him at all, and there is even a tendency to affect him.

"The most important thing now is to reassure the people." Jiang Yao said a little lacking in qi, he had a serious illness last spring, although it was an opportunity to give office, but after many years of hard work, his health was indeed not very good, today he knocked on the ground, knelt for a long time, and was a little trembling, Ji Jian Ran hurriedly supported him, and said on his behalf: "Not only to appease the people, but also to observe the officials of the five counties, after all, the Nuchuan broke the mouth and caused disaster to the five counties, and the surrounding counties have lower terrain than the five counties, but they are all fine, it can be seen that there are many lawless and mediocre officials in the five counties. Please send Feihe to guard him and return to the capital, and he will be judged! ”

Ji Jianran is going to kill his relatives in righteousness, Ji Zhen will not check and escort him back to Yedu first, can the rest of the officials be okay?

Ji Shen glanced at Nie Yuansheng, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "Just do it according to this." ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send angels to the five counties to appease the people and observe the rule of officials." Jiang Yao closed his eyes and recuperated, then took over the topic again at this moment, and said, "So as not to breed homeless bandits and shake the country!" ”

Ji Shen was most impatient to listen to what they said to shake the country's capital and other alarmist words, but Jiang Yao's suggestion was also reasonable, so he said coldly: "Since you already have an idea, why do you want to knock on this?" What do you do to raise your courtiers? Let's do it! ”

"...... this angel candidate" Jiang Yao coughed a few times in the night wind, looked at the city gate with deep eyes, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please also ask Nie Sheren to serve!" ”
