Chapter 297: Dengwen Drumming
Dengwen drum, I don't know when it has existed, whenever the people have any major grievances, they want to play the Ming Sheng, ask the emperor to judge the drum, you can beat this drum.
It's just that this drum is not always something that no one can beat, and you have to go through layers of procedures to be qualified.
But it's simple for Zhongli.
In addition to her own people who can move, there are also people who Zhao Yiyan can help behind her back, and the emperor is now seriously ill, which makes Zhongli take advantage of a loophole.
The Dengwen drum, which had not sounded for a long time, sounded again, causing all the people in the entire capital to gather over, looking at this side curiously one by one, constantly looking, and turning heads and ears.
It's just that after hearing that the young man who was beating the drum was Zhongli, some people suddenly realized, while some people were still at a loss.
Who is Zhongli? Is it famous? When did the capital have such a number one person?
However, when it comes to Zhongli, many people don't know who it is, but when it comes to the maker of glass, the border city academy, and the snow disaster and plague of that year, everyone knows it.
Gradually, more and more people gathered here.
At this time, Zhao Zijian, who was dealing with the twists and turns in the inner courtyard of the palace, also heard about this matter, but he was stunned at first, and then frowned, feeling that there was a conspiracy hidden behind this matter.
"When did this happen? Why didn't anyone come and tell me? ”
The father-in-law who followed him was also helpless, now Zhao Zijian is not the official emperor, although he has gained control of the entire palace, although he has also followed the chicken dog to heaven, and his status has risen, but the chief manager of the palace is not him, and there is no reason for people to tell him about it, right?
Zhao Zijian, who had waited for a long time and did not wait for an answer, raised his eyes and glanced at his little eunuch, and immediately threw the imperial pen in his hand on the case, got up directly, and walked out of the door.
"Prepare for it, I'll go and see for myself!"
Zhongli beat the Dengwen drum, what do you want to do? Pull yourself off the horse?
The father-in-law nodded immediately, and hurriedly went out to prepare the chariot.
"What is the name of the person who beats the drum? Bring it on! ”
In front of the east gate of the palace, the eunuch Xiao Anzi sang loudly.
The morning sun shone through, plating the visitors with a layer of golden light.
The man, as if he was wearing golden armor, walked towards this side step by step, neither humble nor arrogant, although he was not tall, but at this time, he felt that she was extremely eye-catching.
Zhao Zijian squinted his eyes, looking at the person who was slowly approaching him, the originally silent heart jumped up and down, the originally cold and hard lines on his face were slightly soft and soft, and the corners of his lips were raised high, obviously in a good mood.
Zhongli didn't know Zhao Zijian's thoughts, but he felt the other party's burning eyes fall on his face, he lifted his robe not far from Zhao Zijian and knelt down.
"Grass people Zhongli, sue the emperor for indiscriminately killing the general Shen Ye, and ask the emperor to rehabilitate him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Even Zhao Zijian, who was originally mentally prepared, was stunned in place and couldn't move for a while.
Chaohua Pavilion is a place that is relatively close to the previous dynasty, and it is also a place where Zhao Zijian deliberately avoided suspicion in order to express that he was only temporarily exercising power in place of his father.
To tell the truth, the son does not say that the father is ugly.
Zhongli sued the emperor for killing Shen Ye's family back then, and Zhao Zijian didn't dare even if he wanted to take over this matter.
Therefore, he asked Zhongli to be brought into the Chaohua Pavilion, and then notified the civil and military ministers who had just returned from the court to come back and discuss important matters.
From ancient times to the present day, what happens in the palace can attract people's attention.
What's more, Zhongli dropped such a big bomb, and he had already inquired about this matter before the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs arrived, so everyone knew it in their hearts if they didn't see Zhao Zijian's figure in Chaohua Pavilion.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Zijian, as a son, naturally wants to avoid suspicion.
As for Zhongli, who was standing between everyone, everyone didn't have any strange feelings, although the emperor had let a group of officials leave the court before, but there were still many officials who had participated in the New Year's banquet that night, as well as the people from the Border City Academy, and the people who had been relieved by Zhongli in the big exam a year ago, they had already gotten the news and would help Zhongli when necessary.
Zhao Zijian side eunuch Xiao Anzi stood in front of everyone with a whisk at this time, and after everyone arrived, he bowed to the ministers.
"Hello adults, slave Xiao Anzi greets everyone. Today, Zhong Gongzi sounded the Dengwen drum and everyone knows more or less what the situation is, what the prince means is that it is inconvenient for him to come forward in this matter, please ask another prince to come forward to be responsible, do you have any opinions? ”
Another prince?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and your eyebrows are full of surprise.
Which of those princes of the Apocalypse was not feared by the emperor? One by one, they were so frightened that they only knew how to look for flowers and ask willows, and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, when did they care about these things? Which prince can come forward now?
Zhao Yiyan's return was hidden from everyone, after all, Yuan Wu had been eyeing the border city, and everyone thought that he was still in the border city.
Therefore, when Zhao Yiyan came out, everyone was taken aback at first, and then immediately understood what Zhao Zijian meant.
Zhao Yiyan is Zhongli's sworn brother, no one knows about this matter, who doesn't know?
Even Zhongli attached great importance to love and righteousness, and spoke up for his righteous brother back then, and was once imprisoned in the prison by the emperor, if Zhao Yiyan presided over this matter, they could think of the final result with their toes.
And Zhongli, who was kneeling on the ground, was also surprised, Zhao Zijian would be so kind?
It's just that all of a sudden she understands that Zhao Zijian is selling them a good now, if Zhao Yiyan can handle this matter properly, not only can he sweep away the emperor's majesty, but also can appease Zhao Yiyan not to do anything with him, but if this matter is not done well, he will have a way out at that time.
As for Zhao Zijian's desire to help himself, Zhongli had never considered it.
As early as when Zhao Zijian wanted to submit to him by using his strength, he had already seen through the essence of this person, a politician is a politician, and he never expects the other party to play the emotional card with you.
"The fourth prince will not give up, and this matter will be handled by this king. But this king can't do a word, this king thinks that this matter is very important, and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are checked by the book and the king at the same time, how about it? ”
What Zhongli could think of, of course Zhao Yiyan could also think of, and immediately divided the rights on his body.
Everyone originally wanted to excuse themselves, but Zhao Yiyan spoke in the back again.
"This king has been stationed in the border city all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital, so I would like to ask you for more help. Moreover, there has not been much fighting recently, and if anyone in the family is interested in coming to the barracks for training, the king welcomes it. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they could see the surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.
How difficult it is to go to Zhao Yiyan's side, but now people take the initiative to open their mouths. It is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and even the prime minister's family always has one or two unsuccessful descendants, and it is better to throw them into the barracks for training.
Besides, Zhao Yiyan said that if there is no war in the border city, is there really no more? It's just to express to them that after their children and grandchildren pass, there will be no danger, and they are purely here to take care of them, so at this moment, even the prime minister is moved.
"Haha, what King Qingyang said is good, I think it would be better for these three departments to cooperate with King Qingyang to find out about this matter. After all, these three departments were also responsible for the conviction in the first place! ”
The Prime Minister laughed, and the Shangshu of the three departments was about to cry.
Whose are they condemning? It's the Emperor!
Is the emperor still dead? Even the first emperor can't be called.
If the emperor suddenly gets better and the four princes fall, will they have to be liquidated? But now that the matter is on the table, it doesn't seem good if you don't accept it, after all, King Qingyang has already said this matter, and the fourth prince also has a plan, if they refuse, they may offend a prince who holds military power, and will also offend a future emperor's successor.
It's just that everyone knows these words, but at this time, Zhao Yiyan stared sharply, and no one dared to refuse.
"This matter is very important, and this official suggests that it be led by the King of Qingyang, and the six Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Rites and Criminal Workers should handle it together."
As the saying goes, the law does not hold the people accountable.
Even if the emperor investigates it at that time, he can't behead all of their six Shangshu, right? At most, it is just a decentralization or dismissal.
No one is stupid, everyone immediately finalized this matter, and even finally pulled the prime minister and deputy prime minister on.
Zhongli finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the last.
In this matter, at least she has already started the first battle.
In the people, this matter also spread quickly, for the general Shen Ye, who doesn't know the entire apocalypse, who doesn't know? The patron saint of the year collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, which made everyone hate it so much.
But after this incident came out, the people were immediately relieved.
Anyway, how could their patron saint do such a thing? It's simply not possible! As a result, the public also began to pay attention to this matter.
At the same time, rumors were flying.
Some say that the emperor was worried that General Shen would deliberately kill him, and some said that it was General Shen who snatched the emperor's most beloved woman, so after the emperor took the throne, he killed Shen Ye, and there are countless rumors.
It's just that the initiator of all this is staying in a small room with Zhao Yiyan at this time, relatively silent.
"Big brother, I've actually been thinking about confessing to you. It's just that this matter is very important, and I ......"
