Chapter 185: Wind and Thunder (Part II)
The court hall of the Northern Tang Dynasty gives people the deepest feeling of two words: gold and dragon.
In addition, it is the auspicious cloud map.
The golden dragon chair carved with a dragon seems to be a thousand colors behind it.
On the vermilion pillar, the dragon soars among the auspicious clouds.
Inside the incense burner, smoke rises from the ground.
It represents absolute nobility and supremacy.
The court officials, who could not even be looked up by ordinary people, walked up the stone steps, lined with carved railings and jade bricks, and they also turned into long dragons.
They tied their hands between the old-fashioned palace guards and bowed their heads slightly to show respect for the imperial power and absolute obedience.
In front of that dragon chair, the court officials who were enough to scare the people everywhere to death were as docile as kittens.
His Majesty was right when he said to a certain young manβ
They are all nothing, they are given by me, today I say they are, they are, tomorrow I say they are not, they are nothing.
Otherwise, identity? Status? These are nothing, I can give you anything, I can make them unattainable to you.
And so it was.
In the court hall, the wide Zhu Gate was wide open, and the court officials rushed in, standing next to their seats, waiting for the arrival of the most powerful man in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
(Well, I checked, at first there should have been a seat in the upper dynasty, the Song Dynasty gradually stood, the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty gradually knelt, although I am, but also with a "Tang" word, then...... οΌ
After a few moments, His Majesty, dressed in a dragon robe, but with a slightly haggard and irritable expression, finally appeared.
Anyone can see that His Majesty doesn't look awake, but he can't say it, he can't say it, it's better not to think about it.
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with heaven!"
A deafening greeting resounded throughout the hall.
Father-in-law Peng's face was calm, although his voice was shrill and his age was old, but it was still very clear:
"Throne!"
The court officials sat down one after another, and no one spoke first, so it was quiet, quiet.
They may all be waiting for His Majesty to speak first, or Gonggong Peng to speak first, but they know that it is not only like this.
That kind of atmosphere, that kind of hidden power, reverberated in the hall, it was so profound.
Even if you don't know what is going on outside the Wangxian Gate, even if Your Majesty's spirit is very bad, whether it is Your Majesty or Gonggong Peng, they still feel it.
"When something happens, it starts." Gonggong Peng glanced at His Majesty and spoke.
The court officials looked at each other, and they wanted to stop talking, there were indeed things to start, but before that, they really wanted to understand one thing, that matter involved several big people, and it would not pass so unclearly.
The status of those characters is not low, so the things involved make them all worried, a little shocked and vigilant.
However, I wonder if at the beginning of the dynasty, it is a bit inappropriate not to talk about something more "meaningful" and talk about something else?
Having said that, Xu Jingyi is still ready to stand up and start playing, he is an Aiqing that His Majesty prefers, and His Majesty has also taken the initiative to mention this to a young man, so correspondingly, his fear of His Majesty is relatively shallow.
However, His Majesty glanced at him, interrupted what he was about to do, and spoke.
"What's going on, one by one, in a bad mood?"
I'm not in a good mood, Your Majesty thought.
Xu Jingyi looked at Long Jihe, Ye Shukuang looked at Liu Xuanqing, and the officials all looked at the faces of familiar people, as if they wanted to gain some strength.
In the end, it was Xu Jingyi who stood up, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, today outside the Wangxian Gate, we all saw Master Ji and his ......."
He didn't go on.
But His Majesty has understood.
A trace of anger appeared on His Majesty's face, and he waved his hand, and his bright yellow sleeves showed a certain absolute majesty, and said coldly:
"This short-sighted Ji Xiaoguang, the person I want to summon was actually detained by him, and asked him to kneel outside more and have a better memory."
This point has been spread outside the Wangxian Gate before, and now His Majesty has said it in person, and it has been confirmed.
Although Ji Xiaoguang is relatively miserable, his official position is still the same, his life is good, it is not painful, and next, the three people who disappeared here are the objects that people pay the most attention to, and no one will feel at ease if they don't get an answer.
This time, it was Xu Jingyi, since he had already stood up, he simply went all out of his way, or it was a little difficult to ride a tiger.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with Lord Bai, Lord Hua, and Lord Ruan, are you feeling unwell?"
He didn't say it too much, but left room for it.
His Majesty's eyes sparkled.
"Detain the person I want to summon, Ji Xiaoguang, the guy who made me uneasy, can only be regarded as an accomplice, or rather, he was influenced, and the culprit is exactly what you said, those three things that will not be used to go to court from today!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a shock in the hall, and the three adults, Bai, Ruan, and Hua, who had a lot of power, were all united in Chang'an, and they were all in the same spirit, and they were put down because of an easy reason?
It's so appalling that many people feel like they're in a dream, and it's all too unreal.
Before today, there had been some courtiers who were kind to Bai Zhang or could be said to be in the same breath to discuss something, but there were very few such people after all, and most of the people here didn't know about these things.
His Majesty's voice still echoed in the hall.
"The son does not teach, the father is guilty, and if the son of the three of them makes a mistake, then it is their sin. is young and idle, and runs rampant in Chang'an, is this to make my Chang'an a mess? If you don't make trouble, it is not enough to establish your authority, where do the people of Chang'an look at my majesty? Killing chickens is just to show the monkeys, all the Aiqing here, your sons and daughters, don't be like those three, when the time comes, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! β
That is the heaviest warning, warning everyone else to take care of their delicate sons and daughters, so as not to run into a pit like Bai Zhang's three people.
"Your Majesty." Liu Xuanqing stood up and bowed his head to speak.
Next to him, Uncle Ye pulled the corner of his clothes, but he didn't pull it.
"Lord Bai's three people are high and powerful, and their duties are dangerous, so they can do a little other punishment and dismiss them directly, isn't that right? The minister is also for the sake of Datang. β
Liu Xuanqing didn't say this because he was kind to Bai Zhang or any other reason, he really thought about the Northern Tang Dynasty, Bai Zhang and the three of them were in this position, although they were not very outstanding and how good they were, but after all, they still stayed for so many years, and His Majesty simply dismissed or demoted them, it was too hasty, right?
Obviously, Liu Xuanqing's words angered His Majesty, and His Majesty's expression instantly became gloomy.
"Do you think that I didn't use my brain to think and did things recklessly?"
Your Majesty just eats soft rather than hard, even if it is an admonition, you can't do this to him.
"Minister...... Don't dare ......"
Although Liu Xuanqing is relatively upright and upright, how many people in this world can be as tough as Su Yan? Liu Xuanqing still immediately expressed his submission to His Majesty.
"So what do you mean?" His Majesty said coldly.
Everyone said that the first emperor was eloquent and strategic, and felt that his majesty had not done anything valuable, he did not believe in evil, even if he started from the smallest - to rectify Chang'an, to dispel the arrogance of the gentlemen who had always turned a blind eye, so that at least the people of Chang'an could praise themselves, he imagined those pictures, felt very comfortable, and he looked forward to making a career out of himself. But now there are people who are stupid and jump out like Su Yan and say that they are not doing it right! This is simply tolerable, intolerable.
What he needs is praise, reverence, not being criticized indiscriminately at the beginning.
Ye Shukuang stood up directly, and asked sharply at Liu Xuanqing: "Lord Liu, you are not very old, why are you confused?" Your Majesty's rectification of Chang'an, this is something that everyone praises, the mistakes made by the three of them in Baiyun, then it is the fault of Bai Zhang and a few people, it is normal for them to be punished, if Your Majesty does not show a little skill, wouldn't it make Chang'an's sons and daughters who have not been taught well more unscrupulous!? β
On the surface, he seemed to be scolding Liu Xuanqing, but in fact, he had a good relationship with Liu Xuanqing, for fear that Liu Xuanqing would be punished by His Majesty because of this exhortation. He, like Ji Xiaoguang, is sleek and sophisticated, killing two birds with one stone at this moment, not only relieving Liu Xuanqing, but also currying favor with His Majesty from the side, which is indeed very wonderful.
Liu Xuanqing even said "yes, yes, yes", he knew that things had reached such a point, and the removal or demotion of the three Bai Zhang people was irretrievable, not to mention, Bai Zhang and they were indeed not good officials who he Liu Xuanqing was optimistic about, he just felt that it was not appropriate to be in such a hurry, and he didn't want to end up like Su Yu back then.
Listening to Ye Shukuang's words, His Majesty finally showed a comfortable look and said, "Ye Aiqing still understands my mind!" β
"Your Majesty works hard day and night, especially tired, Bai Zhang and the other three not only don't worry about the king, but actually connived at their own son-in-law to cause trouble in Chang'an, it is indeed a punishment!" Uncle Ye said.
He and Bai Zhang are not very close, and even have many political discords, and now they are beating the water dogs, isn't it happy?
"Your Majesty, Lord Ye is right, since he has connived and made some trouble, the people of Chang'an are all watching it, Your Majesty naturally wants to uphold justice for the people, then the three of them always have to pay a price, in this way, the ministers have the face to explain to the people of Chang'an, and the image of the ministers is really tarnished by Bai Zhang!"
Xu Jingyi is a favorite of His Majesty, of course, it is not how many things he has done, he can share a lot of worries for the monarch like Guan Qinghe, but because he knows how to win His Majesty's favor best, and now that Ye Shukuang has started, then he has to take a good look.
Everyone knows His Majesty's temper, maybe there will be a lot of Su Yang Liu Xuanqing among the courtiers, or Guan Qinghe will be reborn, Qiu Jingshan will return, and he can also influence His Majesty's will a little, but now, there is still anyone who does not open his eyes to speak for Bai Zhang and the three of them, and it is really not knowing whether he is alive or dead.
What does it mean to be one-sided?
Now is the time.
"Bai Zhang, those three guys are really shameful!"
"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the son does not teach, the father's fault, they can't escape this crime!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't deal with it this time, they don't know how far they will go!"
β¦β¦
Among them, the most complicated mood is Bai Zhang's henchmen, they and Bai Zhang's three people are in the same breath, suddenly heard that the three were actually planted like this, frightened and inexplicable, I don't know if it will involve themselves, and then the court fell to the ground to reprimand the three, they had to follow with their conscience, the feeling of contradiction between what they thought in their hearts and what they said in their mouths was really very uncomfortable.
It's just that they have some suspicions, there is something greasy in this, maybe some villains are making trouble, in it, Bai Zhang's three people are high-powered, treacherous and cunning, this time because their son is galloping on the street, they "poof" fell down, this is really a little fluttering and incredible, they are really a little suspicious, the so-called "people summoned by His Majesty" have been instructed, that is a conspiracy.
The thoughts grew longer and longer, and the suspicions grew deeper and deeper, and those thoughts took root in the hearts of the old foxes, and though none of them said it, they began to be wary and suspicious of each other.
Listening to the voices of those one-sided words that said that he was Mingjun and that he had done the right thing, His Majesty felt much more comfortable in his heart, and was quite proud, and when he felt that it was almost enough, he began to speak:
"Now, the three of Bai Zhang have been demoted, and the three positions of secretary and supervisor, Huangmen squire, and ordnance supervisor are vacant.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became eager, these three positions were enough to make many people fight for the fat difference, otherwise, Bai Zhang and the three would not have been rampant in Chang'an for so long.
In addition to shock, it is excitement and excitement, life is really colorful, and it can never be described with just a few simple emotions.
