Chapter 375: Disasters Don't Stop
Now is also the most critical time, and I can't take it lightly.
I walked inside, and the next person came up to me and said, "My lord, breakfast is ready, Miss Xiao, Master Cao, they are all waiting for you." ”
I hummed and said okay.
I walked towards the restaurant, and when I arrived, Xiao Wanwan, Cao Tianshi, and the White Lady were all there.
Of course, the greedy dragon and the red wood wolf are indispensable, and when the greedy dragon saw me coming, he called me: "Zhang Yan, come and eat." ”
The greedy dragon is a table for one person, and is feasting, after I sat down, Xiao Wanwan got up to give porridge, and the maid came over and said to let her come, Xiao Wanwan seemed to be a little embarrassed to call others, so she said no.
After the porridge was placed in front of me, my eyes fell on Xiao Wanwan's face, and I said, then I will also serve you a bowl.
As I spoke, I started to move.
Cao Tianshi immediately looked at me with blank eyes and said, "You two show your affection early in the morning, is there still heavenly reason?" ”
I ignored Cao Tianshi, a few of us gathered together, eating breakfast, the sun slowly shone down from the sky, and suddenly it was radiant, making people feel extremely warm, I raised my eyes to look at the sky, and then stopped my gaze.
After taking a sip of porridge, I felt warm in my stomach.
It's been a long time since I've had breakfast with my friends like this.
At this moment, I actually felt a little stable, and I felt that such a day was not bad.
Until someone called me and said, "My lord, the emperor's decree has come." ”
I got up and walked out, I wanted to kneel, but the eunuch who delivered the decree said to me, Your Majesty said, Lord Zhang doesn't need to kneel.
The eunuch quickly said and read the holy decree, which roughly meant that I was to preside over the trial of Zhao Gao, Li Si and other important offenders, and then the date of the prince's review was put five days later, and I received the decree, in fact, Li Si and Zhao Gao's guilt was basically very clear, basically they were guilty of everyone's crimes, and Zhao Gao directly committed the eunuch's interference in the royal affairs, and the crime was added to the first.
I will send an order to interrogate Li Si and Zhao Gao tomorrow.
I went back and continued to eat breakfast.
After eating, the sun was almost completely exposed, and I told the kitchen to prepare me a few good dishes and wine.
When they were ready, I told Xiao Wanwan that I would go out.
Xiao Wanwan asked me to pay attention to safety, and I carried the food box alone and walked out. Step by step to the door of the prison, I was able to turn over so quickly, Guan Lao helped me a lot, I naturally couldn't forget my roots, and when I arrived at the prison, I saw Guan Lao.
When Guan Lao saw me, his face was calm.
I called Guan Lao, and Guan Lao said to me, "Master Zhang, is the matter done?" ”
I hummed and said that the status of the crown prince had been abolished and he was confined to the palace.
I put down the wine and food, Guan Lao didn't be polite to me, Guan Lao ate the food, I poured wine for Guan Lao, the damp smell in the prison, and the smell of mold, filled the air, but Guan Lao didn't care about so much at all, and still ate very fragrantly.
Guan Lao didn't forget to ask me while eating, "Master Zhang, what are you going to do next?" ”
I said to Guan Lao: "The next step is naturally to handle the case of Hu Su and others." ”
"And then?" Guan Lao gnawed on a big chicken leg and asked me.
I said that then it was the last step, I didn't make it clear, but with Guan Lao's cleverness, he should know what the last step I said was, and the last step was to register the day.
After I said this, Guan Lao suddenly became silent, and he was silent for a long time.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, I didn't bother Guan Lao, I just looked at Guan Lao quietly, time passed by minute by second, and finally Guan Lao ate and drank to his heart's content, clapped his hands, and said, "I hope it will be as smooth as you said." Go back, I'm going to get some sleep. ”
Saying that, Guan Lao didn't answer me, walked to the corner of the wall, leaned on, and began to snore.
I froze for a few seconds, chewed on Guan Lao's words carefully, and finally walked out without saying anything.
After leaving the prison, I don't know when, the sky has become gloomy, and before I got home, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded, and then it began to rain without warning.
And the rain continued to fall heavier and heavier, and it lasted until the next day, when I arrived at the Yamen, the case was tried, and Li Si was tried first, and after Li Si was locked up for a while, his mental appearance dropped a lot, and his eyes were full of infinite exhaustion.
As the prince's teacher, it is really embarrassing to be reduced to this end.
After the trial, Li Si pleaded guilty one by one, but was finally sentenced to take off the black gauze hat, and he could leave Xinjing and never return.
Li Si let out a turbid breath in the hall, said thank you to the saint, and walked out in disappointment.
Eunuch Zhao Gao's disorderly administration, coupled with the flood in Shucheng, was directly sentenced to death, and he was executed three days later. Of course, Zhao Gao was not convinced, and resisted in the court, although he also had some cultivation, but he was quickly suppressed and abolished.
This insidious and treacherous eunuch is also at the end of his rope so far.
After the trial, I also went to visit Lord Yushi, but Lord Yushi didn't say anything about the trial, but said to me: "Lord Zhang, the old man thinks you can recommend Han Feizi to be an official in the court." ”
I hummed and said a good word.
On the third day, I successfully recommended Han Feizi to be an official in the court. Han Feizi also thanked me.
At this time, there were still three days left before the trial of the crown prince.
I'm waiting, and many people are waiting, waiting to see what will happen to the prince.
It's just that something I didn't expect happened soon, and when I went to court on the morning of the fourth day, I learned the news, saying that the princes from all over the country have asked to release the prince, and the prince is not guilty, the reason is that the prince is young, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, and if he does not discharge it, he was framed by a traitor, and of course the traitor refers to me. and asked the prince to restore his status as the prince, otherwise the princes would raise troops to seek justice for the prince.
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and soon the main battle faction and the main peace faction were formed.
The rhetoric of the main battle faction is that when the empire has been threatened, no matter who it is, it will be defeated if it is not satisfied.
The remarks of the lord and faction are that otherwise, it is better to let the prince go, give him a piece of land, and seal a prince, which can not only reflect the tolerance of the empire, but also smoothly solve the matter of the princes in various places raising troops, killing two birds with one stone, why not.
My master Yuan Zhen quickly asked, "Lord Yushi, what do you think?" ”
Lord Yushi took a step forward and said: "The old minister thinks that fighting, the empire started with soldiers to fight for the world, when was he threatened, Your Majesty, the world is in chaos, and the princes of the seven regions have long had a chaotic heart, even if they regress this time, next time, they will have other excuses to make trouble." ”
Yuan Zhen hummed faintly.
Someone soon stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers don't think so, the princes of the seven regions are also the heroes of the empire when it was established, and they do this to make the empire develop better, if they start a war just because they said this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the heroes." ”
Yuan Zhen also hummed and did not express his position.
The two sides quickly argued again, and the Lord Yushi had a big heart, and closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
My master didn't stop them from arguing this time, and after they argued, they probably found that the Son of Heaven and the second-in-command didn't speak, and they automatically quieted down.
After it quieted down, the entire court was so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard.
All of them held their breath and stopped talking.
Yuan Zhen said lightly: "It's enough to quarrel, isn't it?" ”
The ministers buried their heads in the air.
"Lord Zhang, what do you think?"
I typed back, too.
Yuan Zhen then asked, "What is the reason?" ”
I said to Yuan Zhen: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that the princes of the Seven Lands threaten the empire with an army conquest, which seems to be for the sake of 'justice', but in fact, they have a chaotic heart, if they don't make a move this time, the chaos will be unstoppable in the future, and the disaster will be unstoppable." ”
Yuan Zhen hummed, and soon someone was going to stand up and refute me.
Yuan Zhen said simply: "There is no need to say more. ”
The man's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knelt on the ground, Yuan Zhen ignored it and didn't let him get up.
Yuan Zhen opened his mouth and said: "Then let's fight, that is, 300,000 troops will be dispatched every day, with General Bai Qi as the main commander, Master Zhang as the supervising army, and General Meng as the vanguard." ”
As Yuan Zhen spoke, a wave of tiredness appeared between his eyebrows.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say much, and after saying that His Majesty was wise, they began to retreat from the court.
