Chapter 57: The Palace Dispute
All the fathers-in-law waiting in the Qinzheng Hall were shocked, they had seen someone who didn't want to die, but they really hadn't seen someone who didn't want to die like this! This young man had been going straight to the Qinzheng Hall since the early dynasty, and since then the air in the hall has entered a tense stalemate.
Murong Yan's anger swelled like the momentum of the spark, but the kneeling man of His Royal Highness was still there and said: "Your Majesty, 'exchanging people for cities' has been talked about for thousands of years, although the emperor doesn't care about the woman's going or staying, but the emperor has to take care of the quiet mouth of the people. The minister has traveled to so many places, and all he hears is that the emperor has a cold temperament and only loves the country, not the people. If Yan Shuyuan is used today to exchange for Yucheng, tomorrow may also be exchanged for other women. This served as a worst example and guidance among the people, that is, women could be bartered. From then on, the women of the Darong Dynasty have lost their dignity and have become tools for the exchange of interests, which is no different from prostitutes. ”
"Xuanyuan Yaohui, you're really not afraid that I will kill you!" Murong Yan punched the dragon case, and the dragon case collapsed. The father-in-law was all dumbfounded, such anger had never been seen by the emperor.
"The minister is not afraid, if the emperor kills the minister because of this matter, the minister's life is the emperor's, and the emperor can take it at any time." Xuanyuan Yaohui is really hard-hearted. This Xuanyuan Yaohui has been running around and busy opening a pharmacy. I just rushed back to Darong City last night. After returning to Darong City, almost every corner was rumored that the emperor would exchange Yan Shuyuan for Yucheng. Xuanyuan didn't believe it at first, but Xuanyuan Yaohui, who sneaked into the general's mansion last night, found out that all this was true.
Last night, Xuanyuan Yaohui was guarding outside Yan Yue's room, watching Yan Yue crying under the lamp, watching Yan Yue crying and packing up her mother's clothes, and hearing the discussion of Mama Zhuang and others. Xuanyuan Yaohui didn't know what was going on, so didn't Murong Yan always like Yan Yue? How could he exchange Yan Yue for that Yu City. If a man wants to fight the country, he can use force to fight for it, and it is really not a gentleman's act to exchange a woman for this. Xuanyuan Yaohui watched all night, kept watch all night, and went straight to the palace after dawn. It's just that the emperor was not qualified to enter the Qinzheng Palace in the early dynasty, and he waited until after the retreat to the palace to go straight to the main hall, and did not return to the situation of any branches, so he went straight to the theme of "changing people for the city".
"Get out of here! No one is allowed to enter the palace without a summons! "Murong Yan almost roared, this Xuanyuan Yaohui was right, how could Murong Yan kill him. Behind Xuanyuan Yaohui is a Qingyun Villa, with a powerful consortium, from weak to such a strong level, it has not played a role, how could Murong Yan be able to kill him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has another idea! Please finish speaking! "Xuanyuan is really energetic. Murong Yan glared at him speechlessly, just hoping that he would have something to say and fart quickly. Xuanyuan Yaohui spoke, but this time Murong Yan's mouth opened wide. He said: "Please ask the emperor to withdraw the will to exchange Yan Shuyuan for Yucheng, and the ministers will ask for orders to attack Yucheng, and Yucheng will be won within a year." If the minister fails to do it by then, please ask the emperor to take away the minister's head. ”
Murong Yan stared at Xuanyuan Yaohui so coldly, after so much experience, the playboy-like Xuanyuan in the past had long disappeared, replaced by a mature, resolute and more good-looking man. He is willing to give up such a big family business, abandon business, and go to the battlefield where he can lose his head at any time, for what? Is it just to be faithful to yourself? For a while, Murong Yan remembered a lot, Yan Yue called him "Xiao Huihui", and he seemed to call Yan Yue "Yan Yan". He won't have any personal affairs with her!
Murong Yan suddenly sneered: "Xuanyuan Yaohui, it turns out that you have always coveted the woman!" ”
Xuanyuan Yaohui seemed to have guessed that Murong Yan had such a statement, held his head high, and replied without timidity: "The minister has never coveted the mother, but just simply appreciated, Shuyuan Niangniang's medical skills are as exquisite as a phoenix, a turtle and a dragon, and she also has noble medical ethics and treats others well. The emperor may not know that Niangniang has long been a living bodhisattva who saves lives in the minds of the people of this Darong City, and how can he be a minister who appreciates Niangniang, otherwise this Darong City will not be full of rumors these days. Chen Gang said that force can subjugate a city, but it is difficult to block the quiet mouth of the people. ”
"Someone! Wang Guard, you drove this man out of the palace! Murong Yan roared, he really couldn't bear this Xuanyuan Yaohui making such noise in his ears. It is estimated that these little fathers-in-law will not be able to pull away Xuanyuan Yaohui at this time, so Murong Yan directly called the guards to the palace, and then pulled Xuanyuan Yaohui out of the main hall. But that Xuanyuan Yaohui still turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty, you must listen to what the minister says!" You can't trade people for cities! ”
Murong Yan was annoyed this time, and glared at Xuanyuan Yaohui and left the main hall, only to feel the pain in his head as if it was cracking. Since the decision of the "people for the city" major event, everyone has been busy drafting the contract, worried that Ling Yuechen is playing tricks, and even the army has been sent. was worried that Yan Yue would escape from the battle, and he also pressed the life and death of the General's Mansion on it. But only did not take into account what the people thought in their hearts, could it be that the people really said that the emperor was incompetent and exchanged women for the country!
"Xuan Wangxiang, Rong Taifu, Yang Shilang and others are coming to the palace to meet you." With Murong Yan's will, the ministers who had only returned to the palace after the court quickly returned to the Qinzheng Palace.
"Have you heard the people of Darong City talking about the matter of exchanging people for cities?" Murong Yan went straight to the point, and while asking, he couldn't help but press his hand on his temple, this action seemed to prevent a little headache. The question brought a moment of silence, and Murong Yan's heart slowly sank. It turns out that Xuanyuan Yaohui is really the truth, and it turns out that in the eyes of the people, he, the emperor, is so incompetent and unkind.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have heard some rumors, but that is the opinion of the ignorant and shallow. Since ancient times, those who have become big things have not been informal, and how long can gossip be circulated, and finally disappear without a trace because of the wealth and strength of the country and the happiness of the people. Mrs. Rong slowly persuaded, and everyone nodded again and again. Murong Yan's face became more and more stiff. Impotent! Fickle! The two words kept dangling in his mind, and they made Murong Yan's head hurt more and more.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion, I don't know if to say it." Yang Zhifang said slowly. Murong Yan no longer had the heart to speak, so he only impatiently gestured to let him continue. But then Murong Yan discovered a fact, although this Yang Zhifang spoke slowly and acted slowly, his thinking was definitely not slow, and the advice given by this person was also very effective.
Yang Zhifang was not in a hurry, and still said slowly: "Although the rumors have slowly disappeared with the loss of time, they will have a very adverse impact in a short period of time. And this short period of time may be half a year, a year, or three years and five years. And the bigger the matter, the longer the rumor lasts. The incident of Yiren Yicheng is not big, and I believe that all colleagues know it in their hearts. Therefore, the disadvantages of this rumor will be for a long time. And if you want to stop this kind of rumor, there is only one way, there is no such thing as 'exchanging people for cities'. ”
"Lord Yang, this is the way you came up with it?" Lord Zuo Xiangwang asked in surprise, if there is no matter of 'exchanging people for cities', what are you doing here and what methods are discussed, it is better to go back to the house directly.
"What the minister said is that there is no such thing as 'exchanging people for cities', so he didn't say that Yucheng didn't want it, nor did he say that Shuyuan Niangniang didn't marry, but we need to change a strategy. If Renyicheng is exchanged for a marriage between the two countries, the marrying person is the county lord of this dynasty, and Yucheng gave me the Darong Dynasty as a dowry. Wouldn't that be a happy result? When Yang Zhifang said this, some people were stunned and were stunned by Yang Zhifang.
"There is no county lord in this dynasty, you mean to let Yan Yue pretend to be the county lord. What about the real Yan Yue? He's dead? Murong Yan reacted quickly and retorted directly.
"The emperor is wise, Shuyuan Niangniang died suddenly due to the death of her biological mother. As long as the emperor chooses a suitable opportunity to summon the people. Yang Zhifang finally finished speaking, and everyone fully understood. It's just a change of term, a change of soup and not a change of medicine, but it will have a completely different effect among the people. But everyone had to admit that Yang Zhifang's idea was really high.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." It was Yan Wenzhong, Yan Yue's father, who spoke. Early this morning, Shuyuan Niangniang made a very clear request to her father, that is, when Li Yunniang went out of the funeral on the third day, Yan Yue would personally send the coffin out of the city, go to the ground, and add soil and kowtow in front of the grave. If Yan Wenzhong didn't want to, Yan Yue would have to go forcibly. Yan Wenzhong was shocked by this request, but although this request was simple, how dare Yan Wenzhong agree. Yan Yue's current actions can all be in the hands of the emperor, if there is any accident when he leaves the city, Yan Wenzhong believes that even if the matter of the nine clans is punished, the emperor will be able to do it. Therefore, Yan Wenzhong's most urgent thing at this time is to ask for an order in front of the emperor.
"Why, do you want to take the opportunity to escape?" Lord Zuo Xiang asked directly, and he didn't care about General Yan's face. Even though there is some truth in this, and it is also talking about what Yan Wenzhong is worried about, but this statement still makes Yan Wenzhong a little unable to get off the stage. After all, Yan Yue was her own daughter, so Yan Wenzhong immediately explained: "Shuyuan Niangniang wants to marry far away, and I don't know when and what month I can return to this Darong City." In the future, I can no longer go to the grave to add soil to my filial piety. What's more, Shuyuan Niangniang wants to remember where the grave is, so that he won't even be able to find the place to burn paper when he comes back this year. ”
This made the hall silent for a long time, and after a long time, Rong Taifu Fang Chang said four words: "This is pitiful!" ”
