Emperor Jingxing issued an order to order Yuan Huan and Shen Zejing to resign from their posts and return to Jingzhao to report on their duties.

This decree shocked the courtiers.

Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian and other officials couldn't accept this will, and they knelt outside the Zichen Palace, but it had no effect.

Those three wills were still sent to Xining Road and Lingnan Road at the fastest speed, I don't know what Yuan Huan and Shen Zejing's reaction will be after receiving the will, just talking about the situation here in Jingzhao is intriguing.

In addition to Zheng Diheng, Qiu Shengnian and other officials kneeling, the rest of the court officials, including those who were close behind Zuo Liangzhe, seemed to have a slightly different view of Emperor Jingxing, the emperor.

These wills, no matter how you look at them, are not very kind, this is what the court officials think.

The enemy army in Xiyan has been annihilated, and Xining is peaceful, and it is about to take the positions of Yuan Huan and Shen Zejing, which is no different from the practice of the world to determine the loyalty of the ministers.

Shen and Yuan guarded Xining Road, but there was no reward, and the emperor was mean and unkind; Shen and Yuan had to be recaptured and returned to Beijing, and the emperor was even more mediocre.

Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian's kneeling outside the Zichen Hall alarmed the Empress Dowager Rong in Shouning Palace. Empress Dowager Rong rarely asked about the affairs of the court, but this time she knelt for a long time, which reminded her of Lu Wuhou and other things during the Changtai period, so she came to the Zichen Hall with the support of Shuzhi.

"Emperor, it's not a way for the two ministers outside the palace to kneel like this. The mourning family heard that the enemy army in Xiyan had been annihilated, and the situation in Xining Province was calm. The ministers who defend the territory should be rewarded, how can they take office?"

Empress Dowager Rong doesn't understand the government, but she also knows that there are rewards and punishments for meritorious service, and this Xining Dao is guarded, these ministers and soldiers are meritorious, aren't they?

"I'm tired of my mother's troubles. It's just that the affairs of the court and politics are extremely complicated, and it will be difficult for the child to explain it to the queen mother. Please rest assured that the mother's teachings, the children will keep in mind that they will deal with the affairs of Xining Dao in this way. Children are there for a reason. ”

Emperor Jingxing rubbed his eyebrows and said to Empress Dowager Rong. He knew that Empress Dowager Rong was really good for him, and he also respected Empress Dowager Rong.

Empress Dowager Rong looked at Emperor Jingxing's tired appearance, and originally wanted to blame Du Du, but she couldn't speak. It's just a bit of distress. Since the emperor ascended the throne, there seems to be no easy time. Ascending to the throne as the emperor is really a heavy responsibility, and it would be nice if the emperor had a capable minister to help him solve his worries.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Rong remembered Shen Huashan, who had been dismissed. The Shen family was originally reliable, but it's a pity that they became more and more confused after that, otherwise they could continue to be the emperor's help.

"Huang'er, I heard that the mourning family heard that there are still people from the Shen family who were dismissed this time? In the final analysis, the Shen family has the merit of following the dragon to the emperor. Be forgiving and forgiving, so as not to chill the hearts of the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Empress Dowager Rong didn't say anything for Shen Zejing, but was worried about Emperor Jingxing. There are still two ministers kneeling outside the Zichen Palace, how can this be good?

"The child will take care of such small things. Please rest assured. There will always be one or two ministers in the court who are not thorough, and my father and emperor also encountered such a situation back then, and in the end it was easily resolved. ”

Emperor Jingxing said with a smile, thinking of the fact that Emperor Changtai had killed Lu Wuhou with his staff, and a few traces of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

If Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian still don't know how to lift, he doesn't mind letting them know what Thunder Jun'en is.

As for the Shen family, Shen Zejing actually dared to ride Biyun Cong. Moreover, Bi Yuncong's current life in Queensland was not presented back to Jingzhao as soon as possible, which is absolutely intolerable!

took Shen Zejing's position and let him reply to the leek, it would have been a light punishment, if it weren't for the fact that he still cared about the Shen family's dragon skills. If he hadn't wanted to know Bi Yuncong, the will to ask for sin would have been sent to Queensland a long time ago.

He has already opened the net, the king wants the ministers to die and the ministers to live and sin the crimes, how can the Shen family have any other choice?

Emperor Jingxing thought about it in his heart, and then smiled again. said to the Empress Dowager Rong: "The queen mother must not intercede for the Shen family, the children's governance and actions are all adhering to the emperor's mental skills taught by their father, and there will be no difference." The Shen family's affairs will be decided, and the affairs of the ministers outside the door will also be decided. ”

Emperor Jingxing obviously didn't want to talk about the situation in Xining Dao anymore. Empress Dowager Rong also knew this, thought about it, and then changed the topic and talked about Prince Rui in Kunning Palace.

"Rui'er, that child, the mourning family is very happy to watch. The previous calamity made the mourning family very anxious. Now that Queensland has won a big victory, according to the mourning family, Ruier is a lucky star. What Si Tianjian said is not accurate, the emperor must not believe it, so as not to have sparse flesh and blood. ”

Empress Dowager Rong said this, asking Emperor Jingxing not to alienate Shangguan Rui, and also asked Emperor Jingxing to go to Kunning Palace more often to visit his prince.

Emperor Jingxing smiled, then nodded. There have been such things as short pine nuts and disaster stars, and he has never been waiting to see Prince Rui. Even if the Calamity Star had broken this statement, he still felt that he had a pimple in his heart, and of course the number of times he went to Kunning Palace was very small.

After Empress Dowager Rong left the Zichen Palace, Emperor Jingxing did not obediently go to Kunning Palace, but did one thing, that is, to order the rod to punish Zheng Diheng and Qiu Sheng for Chinese New Year's Eve!

Just like Emperor Changtai back then, Emperor Jingxing chose Thunder Fury to solve the situation of the minister's kneeling and pleading. When Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian were dragged down by the cane, the outside of Zichen Hall naturally returned to calm.

Emperor Jingxing's scepter scolded Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian, together with the three decrees he sent to Queensland, quickly spread throughout the court, and I don't know how, it reached the people.

Even if the courtiers had the will of the Xuanzheng Palace, after knowing that Zheng Diheng and others were punished, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide: It seems that the emperor's thoughts on asking Shen Zejing and Yuan Huan are much more resolute than they imagined.

As for the people, they don't have much feeling about the emperor's cane scolding Zheng Diheng and Qiu Shengnian. What they are more concerned about is that the two heroes who guarded Xining Road are going to be questioned by Emperor Jingxing!

It is a great hero who repelled Xiyan, defended the territory, and defended the people, and a great hero who made great contributions, and he was about to be questioned by the emperor!

The people did not know whether Lingnan Wei's dispatch of troops in advance violated the military system, nor did they know that "the generals were not subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs", and they did not know about the disputes in the court. They only know one thing in their hearts: the heroes will be questioned, and the emperor will kill the heroes!

This is the interpretation of the three wills of Emperor Jingxing by the common people. To be precise, it was Emperor Jingxing's three wills that were transmitted to the people, and it became the emperor's version of killing heroes.

I don't know how this version spread, it seems that overnight, places such as wine shops, teahouses, and corners of streets and alleys are talking about the emperor wanting to kill heroes.

In this version, Emperor Jingxing's commendation and pension to Xiningwei and Lingnanwei was not mentioned at all. This rumor is concentrated on the emperor's killing of heroes.

Just like every big rumor before, such a thing as a royal minister will always cause the people of Jingzhao to snoop and discuss. Killing heroes is the most unbearable thing for ordinary people, because they know too much about such examples, and there are almost no such scenes in the annual Peking Opera on Xianghe Street.

Immediately, things like Taichang losing Rui and Biyun congregating not returning to the royal family were also turned out, which made this rumor directly point to Emperor Jingxing's mediocrity and immorality, and also made the people have some mysterious speculations about the will of Shen Zejing and Yuan Huan, such as the speculation that God is angry and the destiny of heaven returns.

They were thinking that the reason why the emperor wanted to ask Shen Zejing, who was guilty of meritorious work, was actually because Shen Zejing was riding a blue cloud, and the emperor was jealous and ashamed, so he did this;

They are also thinking, too often lost or it is an early warning from God, how can an emperor who is mediocre and wants to kill heroes be qualified to have Jiuding?

It is no wonder that ordinary people who respect imperial power have such rebellious thoughts, it is really because Emperor Jingxing's prestige among the people is really too ordinary.

Since Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne, no matter what the reason, it is not a matter of time or twice that Emperor Jingxing has been "smeared".

Rumors of unkindness, injustice, filial piety, unbelief and intimateness, too often lost, catastrophes from heaven, the truth of northern Xinjiang, and the killing of heroes...... Calculated carefully, there are really too many, and the major events that the people of Jingzhao have heard about Emperor Jingxing are almost none!

In their minds, the impression that Emperor Jingxing is mediocre and incompetent is already extremely deep, even if the truth is not the case, the people automatically consciously think that this is the case.

Emperor Jingxing's prestige has fallen to such a situation, I don't know whose credit it is. It's just that Zuo Liangzhe is extremely satisfied with such a result.

After Emperor Jingxing issued those three wills, Zuo Liangzhe mobilized his subordinates and servants to spread Emperor Jingxing's will everywhere in Jingzhao, of course, what was propagated was the version that the Zuo family had processed, that is, the version that directly pointed to Emperor Jingxing's mediocrity.

"Well done! You are very good at doing things, I will give orders, and everyone will be rewarded! ”

In Zuo Liangzhe's study, Zuo Liangzhe said to Zhao De and the others, his face was obviously happy.

This time in Jingzhao to spread the matter of Emperor Jingxing, these subordinates did too well, in a short period of time, the matter has been spread to everyone, and now when it comes to the emperor, the people of Jingzhao feel that they are mediocre and incompetent, which is in line with Zuo Liangzhe's purpose, how can he not appreciate it?

In fact, he didn't know that Emperor Jingxing's will spread throughout Jingzhao was not the result of his subordinates' strength, but the result of the Shen family's secret help.

The Ruliu personnel who stayed in Jingzhao received Shen Ning's order, and what the Zuo family wanted to do was exactly what Shen Ning ordered Ruliu to do.

Otherwise, relying only on the propaganda of the Zuo family, how could the momentum be so huge?

If you are acting in secret, of course Zuo Liangzhe does not know. At this moment, he was complacent, indulging in the joy of achieving his goal, and he didn't notice the sinister eyes of his staff member Zhao De, and he didn't know how angry Emperor Jingxing was at this moment.

Emperor Jingxing was furious because Kong Wu had already investigated and learned that it was the Zuo family who spread rumors unfavorable to the emperor in Jingzhao, and the rumors that pointed directly at his mediocrity and incompetence turned out to be dictated by Zuo Liangzhe!
