Chapter 31: Forcing the Palace (I)
Xu Jingyi has a good relationship with His Majesty, often enters the palace to meet His Majesty, and is already familiar with the palace general.
The palace general nodded, and said to a palace guard behind him: "You go and report to Your Majesty, just say that there are many adults outside who want to see you." ”
Until the palace guard left, he smiled at Xu Jingyi: "Wait a minute, your lords, you have already gone to Tongyu." ”
With that, he straddled the long knife and left.
He is only loyal to His Majesty, and he may be a little surprised by what is happening outside, but he definitely doesn't have much interest, he just needs to do his duty.
The entire Imperial City was still immersed in cold, and as time went on, it got colder and colder.
These adults who came to pressure His Majesty because of righteous indignation tightened their cuffs, and in the time they were waiting, they finally felt the cold, and they couldn't help but want to shrink back into the sedan chair carriage, but when they saw that the people around them were still outside, and everyone was waiting for His Majesty's reception, they were embarrassed, so they could only hold on.
They waited like this for a long time.
It wasn't until their legs were a little numb because of the cold that the janissary who had gone to the ceremony ran back from afar, and said with an old-fashioned face: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see your lords, now that the weather is cold outside, please go back." ”
Long Jihe looked at Xu Jingyi.
Xu Jingyi spread his hands.
"This was originally expected by us, but since it has been decided, let's move on." Xu Jingyi said.
"If you want to go and talk about it again, you will say that as long as Your Majesty refuses to agree to our request, we will all stay in this cold weather and not leave." The dragon confronted the Praetorian Guard.
"My lord, Your Majesty is very angry, I think it is really not worth it for you to do this." The guard persuaded.
"Just say so, we will take all the blame for what happens, and tell Your Majesty that we must see him today."
The janissary shook his head helplessly, he had to try again, he couldn't compare to the palace general, he was just a very ordinary janitarian, those adults, he couldn't afford to offend, although His Majesty's anger was very deep, he had to bite the bullet, the matter was made by those adults, and the probability of splashing it on him was not great.
He knew that this time it would be a futile return, and Long Ji and the others knew it too.
This is pressure, and it is impossible for pressure on the Son of Heaven to have an immediate effect, it is this process that is needed.
Wen Yuejiu's face became more and more gloomy.
His baby daughter Wen Yuhao was injured like this by Guan Kuo, and he thought that he was the most qualified to ask to kill Guan Kuo.
In order to be able to do something, His Majesty gave Guan Kuo some rights, for this, he expressed dissatisfaction, but he would not resent, but now that Wen Yuhao is involved, then he will ask His Majesty to deal with Guan Kuo without hesitation.
Although His Majesty is stubborn many times, he is powerless in the face of some things.
For example, Guan Qing and the established fact that he is dead.
For example, the pressure of the ministers like today.
Everyone knows that His Majesty will not be able to withstand the pressure of the various governments in Chang'an, and he will definitely make compromises, as for whether those compromises will kill Guan Kuo as they expected, it is uncertain.
There was no surprise at all, and when the janissary returned, he said that His Majesty still did not want to meet with you.
Wen Yuejiu took a deep breath.
His face showed a look of great grief and indignation, and he knelt heavily against the hard and cold ground, and cried out:
"Your Majesty, take a look, the person you reuse, the person you hope he can maintain order in Chang'an, and in the end he himself caused the chaos in Chang'an, do you still expect him to turn the tide!?"
"We are all your courtiers, loyal to you, I Wen Yuejiu, only one daughter like Yuhao, you can pity us, kill Guan Kuo, and come to Chang'an to apologize!"
Asking for a meeting twice, it was a chance for His Majesty, although it sounds very contradictory, but to put it bluntly, it is true.
If His Majesty does not accept it, then they will put on a posture of kneeling outside the palace to force His Majesty to comply.
This Northern Tang is up to His Majesty, and they can't directly control Northern Tang, but they can influence His Majesty's will.
Long Jihe knelt down immediately behind Wen Yuejiu, touching his forehead to the ground, tears in his eyes.
He himself doesn't know where his tears came from, but naturally, this is not sadness, it may just be acting, and it is more about persecuting His Majesty with "sincerity and sincerity".
"Your Majesty, the son of the minister, was also bullied by Guan Kuo, and was brutally thrown from the outside of the courtyard wall of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to the inside, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, even if Guan Kuo wants to deal with something, does he have to use such means to treat human life like a mustard? Such a brutal and unkind man, Your Majesty, how can you reuse him! ”
"Your Majesty," another minister knelt down, "Guan Kuo is obviously not really for the sake of Chang'an, he is a communiqué personal vendetta, using power for personal gain, he knows that in the past ten years, the sons and daughters of our various provinces have questioned his character, ashamed to be with him, and excluded him, so he has always held a grudge, until today he has been reused by Your Majesty, and has obtained some duties, so he began to vent unscrupulously, he is trying to let us lose our sons and daughters one by one, this heart is ruthless, and it is unbearable, If we don't kill him, we will all be ashamed of the people of Chang'an, and he will stir up the wind and rain in the entire Chang'an in the future! ”
……
Wen Yuejiu's cry of grief was a signal, after him, dozens of high-ranking officials, most of the pillars of the Northern Tang Dynasty, all knelt on the ground and reprimanded Guan Kuo, asking His Majesty to avenge them, for the sake of Chang'an, they must get rid of that sinister and ruthless little bastard.
The sound shook the sky, it can be said that it was miserable and miserable, and their grief and indignation were scattered in this large area of cold weather, turning into an endless force of amazement.
This has appeared many times in the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but the majestic Northern Tang Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, this is only the second time.
The first time, His Majesty succumbed, and this time, the prospect is also worrying, after all, such a posture, no matter what kind of emperor it is, will not be able to control it.
In the long river of life, one day is very short, but today's Chang'an day, there are so many shocking and inexplicable things happening, the people of Chang'an are anxiously looking in the direction of the palace, vaguely listening to the sad cries of the courtiers who were unattainable in their past, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings.
