Chapter 594: Preemptive Strike
It was fake that Luo Lian was not nervous, but he had been with Mu Jiu for a long time, and after seeing some of Mu Jiu's behaviors, he also figured out some things.
Do you all think that you stand in line with the emperor and don't know? If you don't say a lot of things, it doesn't mean that you don't know about it, and if you don't make a mess, the emperor will only turn a blind eye, but if there is a mess, no one wants to run away.
Therefore, even if Luo Lian is nervous, he has to speak out, at least when the prince and Lin Changsheng are away, to protect them.
Seeing this, Chen Qing gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and directly attacked Luo Lian, "What do you mean by Lord Luo?" The emperor is good, but you chose to side with the prince, where do you put the emperor? ”
can be a civil official in Beijing, how can there be a stupid mouth, Luo Lian directly counterattacked back, "Lord Chen, what stand in line and not stand in line, as the right minister, don't you know, the most noble in this Great Xia Kingdom is the emperor, followed by His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubines are different, the elders are different, I don't support His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you go to support others?" Isn't that a mess? ”
Xia Qingyu turned his head, glanced at Luo Lian gloomily, and then looked back at Emperor Xia Yuan, who returned to his previous gentleness.
As everyone knows, Emperor Xia sat on a high place and saw Xia Qingyu's behavior clearly.
He knows what his son's temperament is, and Emperor Xia doesn't speak, so he wants to see what kind of quarrel they can make.
Chen Qing immediately retorted, "Since ancient times, the throne has been inhabited by capable people, just like our emperor. ”
He didn't forget to compliment Emperor Xia Fang, "Does it matter if the prince is the prince?" Only having the ability to lead the Great Xia Kingdom to glory is the king's way, if you don't have the ability, won't it hurt the future of the Great Xia Kingdom? ”
Jiang Xian didn't expect Chen Qing to be so explicit when he said it, so he couldn't help but scold back, "Lord Chen, your eyes are not good!"
Are you talking about the emperor? Can the emperor be the same then as he is now? When the emperor was still a prince, the first emperor did not appoint a prince, but now the emperor has a prince, can it be compared?
Besides, which eye do you see that the prince is powerless? When the emperor was sick, it was the prince who was in charge of the country, and he did not let the Great Xia Kingdom mess up, and now the emperor is recovered, and the prince can do not be greedy for power, and he should return the rights to the emperor, and personally go to suppress the bandits!
If this is not considered capable in your eyes, then you list the great achievements of the second prince, and let's compare them to see who has made more achievements! ”
Jiang Xian's words immediately resonated with the prince's faction, "No, don't understand it, don't tell me that you plan to let the concubine take the throne!" ”
"If the concubines are all on the throne, why do you still marry wives, whoever wants to be on the throne will rob them, kill people and set fires to the extreme, then why do you need the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom?"
"It's not a shame that the court can say such a remark!"
A group of people chattered, and Emperor Xia Donghuang's face was not good, but he had no intention of stopping it.
Chen Qing was so frightened that he couldn't interject when he wanted to speak, and it wasn't until the people of the prince's faction automatically stopped that he spoke, "What do you mean?" Question me? I was personally brought up by the emperor, and to question me is to question the emperor, what qualifications do you have to question the emperor? ”
I have to say that his words made many people shut up.
But there is no shortage of people like Jiang Xian, who is not worried that the emperor will punish the crime at all, "The emperor has no problem, but who knows what kind of tricks you used to deceive the emperor, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, yes, but the Son of Heaven also has a nap." ”
"You actually question the emperor!" Xia Qingyu stood up, "Father, if you don't punish these people, who of them will still take you in their eyes in the future." ”
Emperor Xia was interested, "It's okay, I want to hear what they say about me!" ”
Who dares to judge the emperor? Think your head is too stable?
"Say, I will not cure your sins."
Jiang Xian said, "The emperor is a rare Ming monarch, but the affairs of the court can not be summarized in a few simple words, as the minister said before, the emperor occasionally naps, and there are so many people who are good at deception who mix in and fill up the numbers." ”
Chen Qing: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that Lord Jiang is maliciously retaliating, after all, he has been in Jingzhao Mansion for many years and has always coveted the position of prime minister, but this time you promoted the minister instead of him, and it is not impossible for him to attack everywhere with a grudge!" ”
Luo Lian almost scolded out the swear words, can you be a little more shameless!
I still have a grudge, why don't you say that I want to kill you!
Just when the two factions were arguing, Xia Qingyu said coldly, "Father, we are talking about the rebellion between General Lin and General Sun, how did it become a group of noisy people?" ”
Jiang Xian secretly scolded Xia Qingyu for being insidious, but he understood that if he didn't figure this out today, Lin Changsheng and the crown prince would be in trouble.
"Proof! Everything can't get around a single word, the second prince and Lord Chen just said that there is no evidence, isn't it slander? ”
Chen Qing: "The evidence is in the hands of General Sun, who knows if General Sun will know the news in advance and kill the deputy general!" ”
Luo Lian and Jiang Xian glanced at each other, unwilling to argue with these two people anymore, otherwise the court would become a chaotic market, but looked at the emperor, Jiang Xian said, "The emperor is a clear guide, pay attention to evidence in everything, and please decide to bring the witnesses back in this matter." ”
Luo Lian added, "Only one witness? Won't he tell lies? Let's invite a few more lieutenants back. ”
Chen Qing seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, "Didn't you just say that?" Will you tell everyone about your rebellion? When General Sun and General Lin conspired to commit treason, he was the only one by his side. ”
Jiang Xian was even more relieved, "As far as I know, General Sun's most trusted lieutenant is Vice General Li, and the person in your mouth is Vice General Li?" As far as I know, Vice General Li, a person from Qiuwu Mansion, you are from Huizhou, how did you become your fellow countryman? ”
"It's not Vice General Li, it's someone else."
"Oh, so you will get past your most trusted subordinate by revealing your secrets."
Every time Jiang Xian said a word, he could block Chen Qing's words.
Emperor Xia opened Chrysostom leisurely, "What kind of system is the noisy shouting above the court!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" Jiang Xian was the first to admit his mistake.
Chen Qing and the other two princes also scrambled to be the first, "The crime of the minister!" ”
Emperor Xia was satisfied with their attitude, "You are arguing, don't you know that now is the critical moment, transfer the deputy generals back, and you go to the front line to fight?" ”
All of a sudden, the birds were silent, and a group of civil servants were powerless, what to do to fight!
"I'll find out, no need to argue!"
Emperor Xia waved his hand, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from!" ”
It's time to fight for it, who else has anything to do?
retreated, and a group of people left with their own thoughts.
Luo Lian went to find Mu Jiu when he left the palace, "Head Mu Yuan, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong? Don't be so nervous. Mu Jiu's expression has not changed, with his son, don't be surprised that it is not good for the child.
"The people of the second prince slandered General Lin and General Sun for treason!"
Mu Jiu knew in his heart that Xia Qingyu didn't get her support when he looked for her, he would definitely treat her as an enemy, and it was normal to take Lin Changsheng under the knife.
I can't say anything to Mu Jiu, Luo Lian said again, "Head Mu Yuan, you have to find a way, the prince is not here, and the prime ministers on the left and right have become the people of the second prince, so it will be dangerous for the prince to continue!" ”
Mu Jiu was a little surprised, "The left and right prime ministers are the people of the second prince?" Wasn't Prime Minister Zuo the crown prince's person before? ”
Why did they turn so quickly? The crown prince has only been out for a few months, and he has fallen to the second prince, and it seems that he is not a good person, so he will try to replace it if he can go back!
But now that Xia Qingyu dares to frame Lin Changsheng and General Sun, he must have something in his hands.
Mu Jiu didn't dare to take it lightly, "Be careful yourself, don't let him grasp any tricks, protect yourself first and then find a way." ”
"It's no problem for us to protect ourselves, but if it goes on like this, the prince is not here, and we don't have a backbone, I'm afraid that sooner or later many people will fall to the second prince." Luo Lian looked very anxious.
"It's fine." Mu Jiu stubbornly appeased Luo Lian, "I'll figure it out." ”
"It's not...... Mu Yuanshou, you dare to say that your ability to treat diseases is second, and no one dares to say first, but this is a matter of the court, and there are many things you don't understand. Luo Lian was even more anxious, "This is not something that can be solved with a few words and your medical skills, if this matter is not handled well, General Lin and General Sun are treason and punish the nine clans!" ”
"Zhu Jiu Clan? The crown prince and the emperor are both counted in General Sun's nine clans, isn't it that the emperor even wants to kill the prince and himself? ”
Luo Lian's face turned white with fright, "Ouch, my aunt, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
"It's okay, just don't say it."
What else can Luo Lian say, he definitely doesn't dare to say it, but he is afraid that the wall has ears, and he is afraid that there are internal thieves!
Mu Jiu also realized that her words were wrong, so he didn't dwell on them, and said, "In this critical period, if someone in the court says anything, you have to rely on Lord Luo to help say a few words." ”
"Mu Yuantou didn't say that I would help them, but I was just worried, I couldn't say anything, and I felt that this time things were not so simple."
Mu Jiuxin said that which time was the matter simple? "Anyway, take one step at a time, and when I go back, I will find a way to bring a letter to the prince, hoping that he can come back as soon as possible."
Otherwise, the dragons have no leader, and there must be people who can't resist the coercion of the second prince and lure them to defect.
Luo Lian's words were brought, and he stayed for a while before leaving.
After thinking about it, Mu Jiu immediately entered the palace and asked to see Emperor Xia Yuan.
At this juncture, if someone came up with evidence that Lin Changsheng was transporting grain to Beidi Kingdom, Emperor Xia Wei might not necessarily listen to her explanation.
So she had to strike first.
What made Mu Jiu depressed was that Emperor Xia Fang didn't see her.
There was no way, so I had to wait for the next day to ask for peace and security, no matter whether Emperor Xia was angry or not, he took the initiative to say it, "Your Majesty, do you think it is better to spend a lot of energy and material resources every year to fight with the Beidi Kingdom, or to be at peace with the Beidi Kingdom, or even to be a friend?" ”
After Mu Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Xia Yu carefully, hoping to see something from his expression.
As a result, Emperor Xia said expressionlessly, "I think it's better to include the territory of the Northern Di Kingdom into the territory of my Great Xia Kingdom!" ”
