Chapter 71: Deliberations between the DPRK and China (2)
Seeing that he had witnesses, the emperor immediately said, "Where are the witnesses now?" ”
He replied truthfully, "Outside the temple!" ”
The emperor said: "Quick, quickly announce the entry of witnesses into the palace!" ”
As a result, more than a dozen yellow-faced and thin-skinned homeless people entered the hall, and they knelt down tremblingly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The emperor asked them to get up and speak: "Flat!" ”
They heard the conversation of the ministers in the temple just now!
At this time, they stood in front of the emperor and the ministers again, and they were no longer afraid of Gu Wentao!
They glared at Gu Wentao angrily: "Your Majesty, we were originally civilians in Yizhou and have a household registration in Yizhou!" But an earthquake more than a month ago destroyed our houses, and many people, like us, had their homes destroyed, their wives separated, and they became homeless! But in order to solve the temporary food and clothing, we gathered thousands of displaced people, knelt down in front of the prefect's mansion, and begged him to edict the emperor and reward us with a mouthful of food! Who knows, the adults ignore the people's demands for life and death and ignore this matter! ”
"Since then, hundreds of people have starved to death in the streets, and thieves have swarmed to do evil!"
When the emperor heard this, he slapped the table: "How can this be true!" Yizhou prefect, now that the evidence is conclusive, can you be guilty? ”
Gu Wentao immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! Wechen is right...... What they say is a false accusation! Your Majesty must not believe their words! ”
He pointed angrily at the homeless people and walked quickly towards them: "Say...... Are you sent by the Tobe Shoshu to frame me...... Say it! ”
Liu Ximing shook his head: "The prefect of Yizhou, now in the imperial court, you must pay attention to your demeanor!" You are so rude and reckless, like an ignorant woman, making people laugh! ”
When the ministers heard him say this, they all burst into laughter.
For a while, Gu Wentao felt extremely rude, and silently lowered his head and returned to his original position.
Finally, the emperor spoke: "The prefect of Yizhou, concealing officials and harming the people, knowing his mistakes and not correcting them, will be fined eighty rods, and will never be used!" Come, take him down! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two court guards walked in majestically and lifted Gu Wentao, who was trembling with fear.
He went down, and the outcasts went down.
At this time, the emperor sighed deeply, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote down the edict of his own sin: "I am blessed by Tianze, I have to be enshrined in the temple, entrusted to the people, and then I sit and enjoy the merits of my ancestors, lazy and followed, inaction, drunk and dreamed of death without realizing it, this is my fault, in addition, I am old and mediocre, not good at politics, I don't know people, nepotism, I don't know the hardships of the common people, I don't know the heaviness of the conquest, but I can't ignore the group of thieves, people can't ignore it, today God sends a hard reprimand, the earthquake occurred in Yizhou, yin and yang are out of balance, bad ancestral temple, I am very afraid!" In order to make up for my mistakes, I am now helping the people, reducing forced labor, and the monarchs and ministers are united to save the danger from fire and water! ”
After the edict was issued, the emperor said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a good plan and candidate for this matter?" ”
Lin Jingmao stood up and said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a word to tell!" ”
Tell you! ”
The emperor said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
He said lightly: "Now His Royal Highness King Ning is resourceful, loves the people and cares for the people, is in Yunzhou, enjoys prestige, and Yizhou is close to Yunzhou, the people of Yizhou will know the name of His Royal Highness King Ning, if His Royal Highness King Ning is in charge of this matter, he will be able to solve the problem easily!" ”
The emperor thought for a moment: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”
Yong Wang Zhuozhou Xing disagreed, so he stood up and said sternly: "Erchen thinks that this matter cannot be handed over to the sixth brother, after all, he is not deeply involved in the world and has shallow qualifications, so this matter should not be handed over to him!" ”
Hearing him say this, the emperor said: "Then you say, who should be sent to solve this matter?" ”
King Yong replied: "Erchen thinks that this matter should be handed over to Erchen!" Because the son is capable of doing this! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Yuechen stood up: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is in favor of His Royal Highness King Yong to take over this matter!" Because His Royal Highness King Yong's political achievements are impressive, and he has acted vigorously and resolutely, he has raised troops to punish riots and protect the territory and the people, and he has taken measures to deal with this matter easily! ”
This matter must not be allowed to be taken over by His Royal Highness King Yong.
Lin Jingsheng immediately stood up: "Tell Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Yong cannot take over this matter, and this matter should be sent to His Royal Highness King Ning to deal with it!" After all, His Royal Highness King Ning is known as loving the people and winning the hearts of the people, and although His Royal Highness King Yong has great talents, he has no talent for the people, so this matter is about the people and the stakes are very important, and His Royal Highness King Ning should be allowed to take over! ”
Zhuo Zhouxing looked at them and secretly hated: The second son of Lin Guogong dared to tear down the king's platform in person, you wait, when I take the throne, I will definitely not let you go.
Just as Pan Yuechen was speaking, Lin Jingmao quickly intercepted: "Back to Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness King Ning is in charge of this matter, the minister is willing to go to Yizhou to assist His Highness!" ”
……
For a time, the ministers of the imperial court stood up according to their own interests,-for-tat, sabre-rattling, and an undercurrent surged.
Seeing that they were arguing, the emperor was also bored: "You Aiqing don't need to say much, I have a candidate in my heart, and His Royal Highness King Ning and General Lin will be responsible for this matter!" In addition, the head of the household department allocated funds according to the injury and its loss, and besides, I will send another superintendent to supervise them, Wan Chongkun, to supervise them, and I am also lacking, so please retreat from the court! ”
When the emperor stood up, Gonggong Wu shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
The courtiers said respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Seeing that the emperor had left, they walked out of the palace and went back separately.
The next day, Lin Jingmao handled some things in the capital, then packed up the softness and embarked on the journey to Yizhou with Wan Chongkun, Liu Ximing and others.
After a few days, Pan Mingzhong was gradually able to get out of bed.
She remembered the antidote given by Lin Jingmao, so she opened the burden next to the bed, took out the antidote, put on her shoes and walked out the door.
Outside, the clouds and fog covered people couldn't make it clear the direction, and she could only vaguely see the sparse forest in front of her.
She wanted to find Mu Fanyin, so she followed the faint fragrance of herbs and walked towards the bamboo house next door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw him holding a medical book in his hand and making medicine seriously.
Seeing this, she didn't want to disturb him, and wanted to turn back.
And when he heard a slight sound of opening the door, he knew that Pan Mingzhong was coming, he stopped what he was doing, turned his head to her and said, "You are here!" ”
Hearing what he said, she couldn't go back without saying a word, so she turned around and walked to him: "Hmm! I'm sorry to bother you! ”
He smiled brightly: "How can you say it's disturbing!" I'm worried that I don't have anyone to talk to me, and now that you're here, it's too late for me to be happy! He brought her a stool: "Sit down!" ”
She didn't shirk and sat down directly.
He stood up, walked over to the bookcase, took out a few books and handed them to her: "Here you go!" ”
She looked at the books: "This is ......"
