Chapter 479: Zuo Xiang is having a hard time
Half a month later.
Capital.
The whole capital has set off a trend - storytelling.
I don't know how it became popular, but in the past, it was only said in some academies, taverns or teahouses, but now it is said in the streets and alleys, and even in some farmhouse mountain villages, it will be said under the old trees.
The history of the growth of little people.
Version 1: "Hey, hey, have you heard?" It is said that the Zuo Xiang is actually nothing, just a person who made a fortune by others, and walked up on a woman, just by looking like a little white face. ”
Version 2: "I heard that the reason why Zuo Xiang was able to sit in his current position and why he was rich was that he was able to rival the country, in fact, it was all obtained by embezzling military salaries, and I heard that all the money in his family came from this!" ”
Version 3: "I heard that the left minister forced those low-ranking officials to give him bribes, and if they didn't give it, they clicked on them." ”
“……”
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
This is not only said in the capital, but also has a tendency to spread outward.
I don't know what's going on, in the past, some people would come out to stop this kind of big discussion about high-ranking officials, and whether it was true or fake, it was not allowed to be used to hype, because if it was false, it would destroy the reputation of officials, and if it was true, then there would be people who would come out to enforce the law, and this kind of nonsense would not be allowed.
But this time no one stopped.
Left Prime Minister's House.
Now the left minister in the living room is furious, and the folds, teacups, and even the inkstone on the desk have been smashed.
"Say, all of them are dumb for the prime minister? Listen, listen, what are they talking about, when Benxiang went to the early dynasty, he actually heard a little flower child singing a ballad, talking about the fact that he wanted to embezzle military salaries and bully low-level officials. ”
“……”
The other low-ranking officials, as well as some of the strategists, were all silent.
Say what?
What else can they say now?
It is clear that their own skills are inferior to others, and they are yin.
Those little ones who don't know a single big character called Huazi can say anything about embezzling military salaries, and they can turn it into a ballad, I'm afraid they don't even know what kind of official Zuo Xiang is and what military salary is.
But now it's being said everywhere that it's clearly instructed.
"They are now saying that I can achieve my current position, not because of my ability, nor because I have done anything good for the people of the world, but because I have embezzled military salaries and oppressed the people, and I have only sat in my current position by attaching the dragon and the phoenix.
He even said that the prime minister had a lot to do with the disappearance of the military salary on the border of Tianxue Country, and also said that the death of the second prince and the assassin encountered by the emperor also had a great relationship with each other, and some people said that Luo Yi's death girl was injured and I also had a lot to do with it......"
"But Xiangye, the assassination move and the matter of the county lord have something to do with us, ah......"
"Shut up!" As Zuo Xiang's words fell, a teacup flew towards the person who had just spoken.
Breaking a teacup and beating the person who was lying down, Zuo Xiang was puzzled and overturned the rotten table to the ground again.
With a bang, even the maids who were waiting outside the mansion all knelt on the ground, trembling.
Recently, the life of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion has been difficult, the master is not happy, and the subordinates are even more so.
If you are unlucky and are seen by the angry Zuo Xiang, it is possible to get angry with each other.
Now Zuo Xiang is furious again, some smart people who can run far away, and some who are on duty can't run away, now try to reduce their sense of existence, hoping not to die because of this.
"Xiangye, my subordinates think that our top priority now is to go into the palace to have a look, tomorrow morning's morning morning time will come, this matter is not big, it is not small, the emperor has not sent someone to pass the decree now, it means that he is on Xiangyi's side, and we are now clearly framed.
Whether it is the embezzlement of military salaries or the death of the second prince, it is not trivial, and even more so, the assassin who assassinated the county lord has not yet been found, if this matter is also involved, it is three major events.
No matter which one can't be suppressed, and there are a lot of people involved, as well as officials, if we can't explain it clearly, then whether the official position can be kept has to be said. ”
"Hey! The Prime Minister's Office is not worried about the official position now. Zuo Xiang shook his head: "Since someone is going to make a move, then they must want to kill with one blow, but it's not just as simple as ruining my reputation, and with my current ability, whether I sit in this position or not actually doesn't have much impact."
It's my people or my people.
What I'm afraid of is that he's going to pull out all my henchmen. ”
"Ahh How is this possible!! "All the advisers and officials and clerks below were shocked.
The left-hand faction is very involved, and there are countless people who have taken refuge in the left-hand side in recent years. To uproot such a large faction is simply delusional.
Yue Lanzhi can't do it, Ji Qingyao can't do it, and the emperor can't do it.
If it were that easy, there would be no constraining effect.
"How can't it be." Zuo Xiang sneered: "Some people are very bold, how can we guess that courage." Such a big thing happened just after returning from the hunting ground, the death of the second prince and the injury of Luo Yi all happened in the hunting ground, but this happened to the people, which means that someone has already started to lay out.
In the imperial court, there are only two or three who dare to suppress me, and now the layout has been so long, just to take my place?
He took my place and sat down on the left, will the people below be called by him? No one wants to do such a thankless task.
So after thinking about it, he should give me a heavy blow, but I don't know where to start? ”
Saying that, Zuo Xiang had a headache.
This person's weaknesses are troublesome as soon as they are too many, you don't know which side of your weakness will be attacked, and his current weakness is the emperor.
The seemingly unbreakable relationship between him and the emperor is actually fragile.
Another point is that he has many henchmen, and there are so many people at the bottom, who knows which breakthrough they will find?
Even before the matter on the emperor's side was resolved, those few people had not yet been killed, and they made him a charge of embezzling military salaries, assassinating the second prince, and even assassinating the emperor......
Although those people may not have any evidence, is there such a thing as evidence that is scarce?
If you don't have it today, you might have it tomorrow.
And he couldn't find any proof of his innocence, so he would be in a dilemma, which was not what he wanted to see, how similar it was when he was in the hunting grounds.
"The top priority is to go to the palace, take a look at the palace before the emperor summons him, and test what the emperor's attitude is, with the current situation in the court, as long as the emperor is on the side of Xiangye, then nothing is a big deal, even if King Ye is connected to the right, there is nothing to be done." Someone has an idea on the side.
