Chapter 403: Dou Deren's Helpless Choice
"The minister has his own music. On the palace hall, Shi Fulai took out the recital that he had been preparing for a long time.
The chamberlain presented it to Li Chi, Li Chi read the title, browsed it casually and threw it to the chamberlain.
"Take it down and discuss it. ”
Zheng Tong was the first to receive the song, and when he saw the title, he lamented in his heart, and in the end, he still came to this point.
Dou Deren trembled angrily, and said angrily: "He is arguing with strong words, the matter of silver stamps and food stamps was jointly proposed by the court and decided by His Majesty, and now, this matter has only been a few months, and he blames one person for some problems." How can there be such a truth in the world?"
Shi Yunjie stood up at this moment: "Then Lord Dou, do you mean that the Marquis Zhongyong should not be responsible for this matter?"
"You?" Dou Deren's hand almost touched Shi Yunjie's nose, but when he said this, the household department said that the emperor should carry this pot. Besides, the policy of silver stamps and food stamps is a long-term policy, and in a short period of time, it is appropriate to have labor pains. Shi Fulai deliberately found a reason to play Zhou Zhe, it can be said that there is no excuse for the crime that he wants to add.
And what disappointed him the most was that His Majesty actually threw out this fold and let everyone discuss it, what does this mean? That is, Zhou Zhe was taken out and stripped naked for trial, and if nothing happened, he would judge you if he had nothing to do.
At this time, many officials of the third and fourth grades at the level of squires also came out one after another. They all talked about the bad situation of today's silver stamps and food stamps, and even used their own family as an example.
Li Chi frowned, few of these officials understood what he meant, is he going to talk about silver stamps and food stamps today? Is he asking Zhou Zhe if he is guilty. And these guys, thinking about restoring the silver ticket system, only care about their own money bags and not the safety of the dynasty.
There are no longer a few people who know how to do it, at least a few bigwigs understand that the emperor is in trouble.
A few days ago, the DPRK and China were quiet, but several bigwigs of the army stationed in other places returned to Beijing, Chen Yuanhou, Li Bing, Li Hao, Qi Lu, Guan Xihai, and Wang Yun. Almost all of them are from the heavens. And they all have a bad relationship with Zhou Zhe, and now, the minions have been removed, and they have finally attacked the main master.
The noise in the court will not have a result, and after arguing for a long time, Li Chi lazily looked at the time and waved his hand
"Today, as soon as you get here, let's go back! Finish the outline of the article and each department by yourself, and tomorrow you will come to the newspaper. ”
Except for Zhu Yuancheng, who has just taken up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which of the others is not a human spirit? What kind of summary of the article? This is clearly to take Zhou Zhe under the knife, and now he is just waiting for the big guy to list the charges against him.
"Your Majesty. "Zheng Tong and Dou Deren can't retreat anymore, at this time, if they retreat, Zhou Zhe, I'm afraid there will really be no future.
Li Chi just turned his face sideways and glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then left through the emperor's side door.
When the emperor left, Dou Deren looked at the princes of the court and angrily smashed his hand on the ground
"On other days, you and others will be rations for the wolf rider. ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Zheng Tong sighed, he understood that the matter had reached this point, and it was irreparable. He is always inferior to Fan Wenliang, at least, if Fan Gong is alive, why should the monarch and the minister be separated? At this moment, his heart is complicated, and in terms of feelings, he is inclined to Zhou Zhe. This young man had the courage, heart, and frightening means that these young scholars in their twilight years did not have.
However, if he really chooses between Dasheng's stability and a person, he can only choose the former. He is a capable minister and a loyal minister, since the emperor has made up his mind, even if he can't bear it in his heart, he has to follow the direction set by the emperor.
The same as him is Dou Deren.
Unlike Zheng Tong, Dou Deren has to make a choice even more, one is Dasheng, who has served him for most of his life. He will not allow anyone to affect his stability and prosperity. The other is the youngest of the four gentlemen. In just a few years, the four gentlemen fell apart, Yan Fucheng went to Star City, Fan Wenliang was assassinated, and Zhou Zhe was about to move towards an uncertain result.
"Smack!" Dou Deren crushed his bamboo-carved wine glass and laughed
"Those who do the way do the way, and those who have no way make the most of it. ”
This lament is the end of a pathetic walk on the avenue. At this moment, he understood why Chen Yuanhou said that, he took advantage of our Dao.
That's right, Li Chi is an emperor, he is just an emperor, a slave of complete power. They were all practitioners, and their Tao eventually became a sacrifice of his rights, but what about Zhou Zhe? He was still young, so he broke up in the middle of the way.
For the sake of Dasheng's stability, he had to crush this cup, and he had to do it more ruthlessly and desperately than others.
Because he understands that if Zhou Zhe is not dead, if he is resentful, he will have extremely powerful destructive power. A Daoless Zhou Zhe, who can control it?
What happened in the court on this day naturally could not escape the eyes of everyone in the Book of Heaven, and at this time, everyone really understood why Sun Guozhu wanted to talk about Zhou Zhe's expulsion from the Book of Heaven. Because of Sun Guozhu, he has already seen through everything.
In the underground library of Tianshu, Chen Zui asked crying
"Master, why didn't you stop all this earlier?
I could hear that there was resentment in Chen Zui's words, and Sun Guozhu also understood, he explained
"Your little junior brother has already seen it, he once said that when he really reached that point, he would drive him out of the mountain gate and return the world to a quiet place. It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and it was Your Majesty who forced me to do all this. Instead of the four major factions, probably your junior brother didn't expect it!"
Chen Zui was unconvinced: "But, why do they want the little junior brother to go into the wilderness, they obviously want his life!"
"Because they are afraid, afraid of Zhou Zhe, they will want to deal with it quickly. We just need to inform your little brother in advance, and he will be safe. An incognito Zhou Zhe is not much better than him in the court. I just hope that Your Majesty will not do too much, I have already let Debiao go to the Western Regions, I believe that as long as the news arrives, he will understand what to do. Don't worry, it's your father, alas!"
What can Chen Yuanhou do? Get drunk all day long.
Whether Chen is drunk or Sun Guozhu, he sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart. Zhou Zhe is Chen Yuanhou's youngest apprentice, and he is also the most proud disciple, and he has done what several generations of Tianshu people have not done.
At first, Chen Yuanhou was just in the Chunfeng Building, drinking stuffy wine and complaining to Pan Yifeng.
But later, there were constantly generals in the army who also joined them, Li Bing, Li Hao brothers, Qi Lu, Wang Yun, Guan Xihai, all joined the ranks of alcoholism, drinking and playing every day, almost becoming the scenery of the capital. But at this sensitive moment, no one dared to provoke them.
The wine circle began to expand, from these few people, slowly spreading, as if spreading a sad mood, many centurions of the forbidden army, all added.
Some people have already seen the signs that something is wrong, how can these escape the eyes of the internal guards?
The night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve was quiet, but for Chen Yuanhou, it was not quiet at all.
He gathered the entire number of forbidden troops who maintained the shopping street. And the ones on his side, without exception, are all veterans.
"Go to the south of the city, Jiao Dajun and Lu Yibiao must be there at this moment. As long as the city gate is opened, we will enter the city and control the four gates, Qingjun's side. ”
At this moment, Chen Yuanhou was wearing black armor, and everyone's right chest was pasted with gold leaf with the golden skeleton dragon pattern.
"Kill!"
The mighty 2,000 forbidden troops raised dust in the eyes of the various sects in the commercial street and disappeared into the night, and countless people were terrified at this moment, this is a rebellion! Chen Yuanhou has rebelled!
And the most important thing is, why did Chen Yuanhou rebel? If he succeeded, Zhou Zhe ?。。。。。
Countless people could not sleep at this moment, and looked for horses like crazy, to bring the news to the city through the other city gates, or, to carry the news back to the mountain gates.
Chen Yuanhou galloped all the way, thinking about Jiao Dajun in his heart, don't drop the chain.
When they arrived at the gate of Nancheng, the guarding forbidden army saw a group of men and horses coming from a distance early, and the guarding forbidden army did not dare to be careless, so they immediately notified Jiao Dajun on the one hand, and ordered to be on guard on the other.
As soon as Jiao Dajun heard the situation, he immediately rushed to the city gate building, and as far as the eye could see, there were no less than thousands of black-armored cavalry.
Chen Yuanhou naturally saw Jiao Dajun under the firelight under the city gate and shouted directly
"Senior brother, it's me, Yuan Hou, open the city gate quickly. ”
When Jiao Dajun heard that it was Chen Yuanhou, he was just about to open the city gate, but he was really stunned in his heart. At this time, shouldn't his senior brother be drinking in Chunfeng Tower? Why did he appear here, with thousands of cavalry? Is it really to rebel for his nephew?
"Senior brother, it's so late, you can't open the city gate, it's a shame that you have been a general, you should know this rule better than me. ”
Chen Yuanhou knew that Jiao Dajun still fell off the chain, and he couldn't imagine that in the end, he couldn't even enter the city. He didn't communicate beforehand, he thought that all this should be tacit, but here, it was over.
"Jiao Dajun, open the city gate, I will say it again, open the city gate. ”
Jiao Dajun said: "Senior brother, if you want to go back to the Book of Heaven, I will put a hanging basket down." Or, let Yibiao go down and drink with you. ”
After speaking, the figure on the city tower was crowded, and a hanging basket was put down, and then, a limping figure appeared.
On his hand, there was still the bronze ancient lamp, and in the dim light, there was the face that was ugly because of the injury.
"Big brother. Lu Yibiao stood in front of Chen Yuanhou's horse and shouted.
Chen Yuanhou can scold Jiao Dajun, but he can't scold Lu Yibiao, in the past, they were hunted down and killed by the world's sects, and Lu Yibiao was crippled and ruined at that time.
"Why are you holding me back?"
Lu Yibiao shook his head: "I don't understand what Senior Brother is talking about. ”
The corners of Chen Yuanhou's eyes twitched: "You don't understand, you know very well." Why did Zhou Zhe deserve to be scolded by the people of the world?
Lu Yibiao shook his head lightly: "All the troops here are forbidden troops, and the ones in the city, south and north of the city are all forbidden troops. The relatives are painful and the enemies are happy, will this be what Zhou Zhe's kid is willing to see?"
"Then do this and watch Hou Ye being forced to death by them step by step?" Guan Xihai looked angry, he could no longer become the emperor's henchman, and there was only one way to go to the dark.
The faces of the other generals and centurions were not good-looking, to be honest, many sergeants in the forbidden army were old with them, if they were really cannibalism...
"Even if we become a Qingjun, then what about the future? Some traitors have died, but Your Majesty is still Your Majesty. ”
Chen Yuanhou almost fell off the horse with a heel, and was quickly supported by Qi Lu's eyes before he was stable: "Dashuai, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, hahahaha! He was, he always was. Chen Yuanhou finally understood that from the beginning, it may have been a beautiful misunderstanding.
He thought that at the beginning, the young prince was full of vigor and spirit, and he was a doer like him. But now that he figured it out, he didn't scold it at all.
The emperor, he is the emperor, and when he stands in that position, he will inevitably become a slave to power. Always, it is to control everything in his hands. The way of these doers of the way is where he takes advantage of it.
Don't you want peace and security for the country? Don't you want peace in the world? Then how can you rebel?
The night was quiet and lively. Li Chi had been seeing the message of the inner guard in the south of the city, and he fell asleep peacefully with a sinister smile.
And Chen Yuanhou slept in the small courtyard of Tianshu in the commercial street this night. looked at the place where Zhou Zhe once lived, and was silent for a long time.
