Chapter 54: A Wave of Unsettled
Li Yuhan told Jiang Yichen about Ji Ying's discovery and asked him what he thought, Jiang Yichen said: "It is not easy to find the case here, and it is not easy to overthrow the king of Chu. β
"That's it?"
"Ji Ying has become the target of public criticism, do you still want to take the lead? If you were the crown prince, what would you do now? β
Li Yuhan hurriedly said: "This joke can't be made, you should be careful when you speak." β
"I'm just using an analogy. In other words, what would you do if you were involved in a murder and the county magistrate found someone to take your guilt? β
"I'm not going to kill people easily."
"I'm just making an analogy."
"I'll ...... I'm going to go with the flow and stay away from it. β
"What if someone stands up and accuses the county magistrate of making the wrong case? What would you do? β
"If that's the case, I'll find a way to gag that person."
Jiang Yichen nodded in agreement and said, "I think everyone will be like this." Although the prince is not clever, he is more cautious, he is afraid that he has already felt that Ji Ying knows too much, so even if Ji Ying will not ask for trouble, the prince will add some blockage to her. What we have to do now is to be optimistic about Ji Ying and not to act rashly. β
"Got it. By the way, how does Your Majesty plan to punish the King of Chu? Is there a result? β
"Originally, he said that he would give death, but his uncle, who is also Empress Li's brother Li Huan, wrote several times to express his feelings, and His Majesty spared the life of King Chu and imprisoned Hanyuan instead, and no one was allowed to visit without His Majesty's special order."
"Cold Garden?" Li Yuhan said, "Isn't it a garden in the palace that has been abandoned for more than 30 years? I remember that it was the place where the guilty palace people were held in the past, and it was long gone. β
"Your Majesty's move is really more ruthless than killing him."
Li Yuhan sighed and said: "The prince who was still a powerful man yesterday has now become a prisoner spurned by everyone. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? β
Nomadic Wild is leaving.
Ji Ying, Jiang Yichen, Duanmu Lingfeng, Li Yuhan and the Rong brothers all went to the city gate to see them off.
Nomad Muye was wearing a pale cyan robe today, and with him were his younger brother and clan brother, several of whom were in good spirits, and they had long since lost their fatigue and depression in the past.
Ji Ying was suddenly very reluctant to be nomadic. From the moment she entered Beijing, to the examination, the palace examination, and then to the official investigation of the case, there was nomadic help at every step. He is flamboyant on the surface and likes a hippie smile, but in fact, he is forbearant in his heart and does not forget the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. He is a butterfly, nostalgic for the scenery of the rivers and lakes, collecting the aura of the mountains and wilderness, even if it is the sword and sword, he can pass by freely.
Duanmu smiled and said to Nomad Ye, "You finally don't wear red clothes anymore, I get goosebumps every time I see your cockscomb-like shape." β
Nomad Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't like red either, it's the same color as blood, which makes people uncomfortable to look at." Not in the future. β
Jiang Yichen said: "I think it's good for nomads to wear red clothes. β
"Why?" Duanmu asked.
"Without his ugliness, how can we show that we are good-looking?"
Everyone laughed.
Rong Shen smiled and said, "How come I don't know that King Xiao Huai is so unconfident? β
Jiang Yichen said: "I also like that Mr. Rong wears white clothes all the time. β
Rong Shen knew that Jiang Yichen was going to make fun of him, so he was busy keeping his mouth shut, but Rong Zhe was curious and asked, "Why?" β
"Because every time I want to compete with the eldest prince of Rong, the eldest prince's clothes are fluttering, and it always seems that he is raising a white flag to surrender."
Everyone laughed again.
Ji Ying handed nomad a snakeskin water bag and said, "Miao Judge knows that you are leaving, so she gouged out the wine she brewed and asked me to bring it to you." It's a bumpy ride, but it's good to moisten your throat. β
Nomad Ye took the hose, opened the cork and sniffed, the aroma of wine burst through the bottle and overflowed, shattering the faint sorrow. Nomad closed the lid and said, "Thank her for me." β
"Take care all the way."
Nomadic Makino stepped forward, took Ji Ying in his arms, and whispered, "Thank you, Ji Ying." β
Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you.
Nomadic wild, go well.
The next day, His Majesty gave a temporary notice to the Upper Morning Dynasty that the ministers knew that this was to discuss the breaking of the Yellow River and the rebellion of the people.
When he was about to go to the court, Zou Hao, the secretary of the criminal department, came over, and it seemed that he had been waiting for Ji Ying for a long time. Ji Ying was busy dressing up and bowing.
"Lord Ji," Zou Hao said, "It's hard to investigate the case for such a long time. β
"Don't dare, thanks to Lord Zou's support."
Zou Hao got closer and said: "The adults are conscientious and admirable, but after this incident, they will be noticed by many people, and the blessings and disasters are mixed. I hope that the adults will try not to show their heads this morning, so as not to set themselves on fire. β
Ji Ying always thought that Zou Hao had been in the officialdom for many years and was sleek and sophisticated, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to take care of the reminder today, and she was very grateful, saying: "Thank you for reminding you, the baby must be more careful." β
In the court, Zhou Rukang first reprimanded Lord Zuo and Master Xiao, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, who went to relieve the disaster, demoted the two to commoners and never hired them, and then asked the courtiers for generals who could suppress the rebellion.
If the "disaster relief" of civilian officials is an excellent errand, then the "disaster relief" of military attachΓ©s is a thankless task. As long as the army is used, it will inevitably attract unanimous resistance from the local people, and it will also provoke criticism from the literati across the country. Even if the riots were to be quelled a few years later, the history books would have only left a mixed reputation.
No one will recommend themselves, and even if they are recommended, they will use various excuses to shirk.
Sure enough. The first person to be recommended was General Zhao, the squire of the military department, who wanted to go to Ding Wei under the pretext of his adoptive mother's new funeral. Then there was General Yuwen, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who said that he was seriously injured during the training and it was inconvenient to lead the troops. followed by Dingyuan General An Ruichen, An Ruichen's father An Houye had just died, and of course he couldn't lead the troops.
Zhou Rukang said angrily: "This push, that push, what am I raising you for!" β
The crown prince hurriedly said: "Father is angry. Erchen thought that the fifth brother was recognized as a good leader in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had great achievements in guarding the sixteen states of Yanyun. It just so happened that he had been in the capital for so long, and he didn't have a decent errand, so it was better to share his father's worries and take a trip to Hedong. What does the fifth brother think? β
Everyone focused their eyes on King Yan.
Yanwang Zhou Yu had never heard the prince call him "fifth brother", goosebumps were about to fall, he endured the nausea in his heart, and said to the emperor: "My father has an order, and my son will never give up." It's just that Erchen is used to leading field troops, likes to deal with Beidi cavalry, and meets ordinary people, but he doesn't know what to do. β
"Now that they have fought against the army, they are no longer ordinary people, and the fifth brother can let it go." Prince Zhou Xuan said.
Zhou Yu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so experienced in such things, why don't you select a few generals under your command, but recommend laymen like your younger brothers?" The younger brother is about to go back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the expectations of His Royal Highness the Prince. β
"His Royal Highness King Yan is too humble," Li Xingzhi stood up and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan has been on the battlefield for many years, and even His Majesty has praised him from time to time, so it should be okay to lead hundreds of thousands of infantry." β
Now all the spearheads in the court seem to be pointing at King Yan, but Zhou Rukang seems to be ignorant and looks on coldly. Seeing that Zhou Yu was at a disadvantage, Jiang Yichen stood up and said, "Hou Ye Li's words are wrong. Li Houye also knew that the suppression of riots and rebellions required the coordination of military and political forces, as well as the pacification of the people and the recuperation. Yan Wang has been away from Jingshi for many years, and he has little experience in this regard, so he is not the most suitable candidate. β
"Whether it is suitable or not, I hope that His Majesty will decide." Li Xingzhi threw this decision-making power to Zhou Rukang again.
Zhou Rukang stroked his beard and said, "This ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" In the already quiet hall, a slightly hoarse voice came out, and people's eyes turned to the new champion - Ji Ying.
Ji Ying knelt in the center of the main hall and shook the court word by word: "As far as the minister knows, although the disaster in Hedong is serious, the military situation is not urgent to the point where it cannot be reversed. The imperial court only saw that millions of people were forced to take up sickles and fight against the swords and crossbows of the imperial court, but it did not see that tens of millions of people were hungry, displaced, sold their children and daughters, and went into exile in foreign lands. Your Majesty, the people are waiting for the imperial court to open a warehouse and release grain, waiting for someone to calm the people's hearts, if they still blindly suppress and kill, won't it chill the hearts of the people! Ji Ying, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, is willing to take this trip for His Majesty and go to the Yellow River for disaster relief and peace of mind! β
For a long time, there was not a sound in the hall.
Some people blame themselves, some people are sad, some people laugh at themselves, some people deplore it, and of course, some people gloat, hoping that the emperor will punish this bold and reckless "showman".
Ji Ying was still kneeling in the center of the hall, her upper body straight, waiting for His Majesty's decision.
Zhou Rukang came back to his senses and said, "Since Ji Aiqing is wholeheartedly thinking about the country, then I will approve your invitation." However, now the military situation in Hedong cannot be delayed - King Yan. β
"Erchen is here!"
"You go with Ji Ying on this trip. Take my Shang Fang sword, you can have the right to cut first and then play! β
Ji Ying and Zhou Yu said in unison: "The ministers are grateful." β
Coming down from the main hall, Ji Ying was pointed at all the way, but she didn't care. Whether it's grandstanding or newborn calves, you haven't tried yet, how can you give up easily? Ji Ying took two steps, caught up with Zou Hao, and apologized to him, Zou Hao sighed lightly, but he didn't know if this sigh was for Ji Ying or for himself.
