Chapter 339: The Golden Palace argues
The distant mountains are delicate, and they are stretched like willow leaves, with that beautiful appearance, how to see how moving.
Outside the door, he didn't move when he heard Gu Qingchi's words, but Shi Miaoyu pushed him and said softly: "Lord Wang, let's go and have a look, in case there is something urgent." β
The person in the palace was probably irritated by Zheng Zecheng's affairs, so he didn't come to trouble Gu Qingchi for half a month.
It's just that I don't know what's going on today, but it's unprecedented.
Shi Miaoyu had an intuition in her heart that nothing good was going on, but she still urged Gu Qingchi.
There are some things that can't be avoided, so it's better to go head-to-head and see what kind of medicine the other party is selling in the gourd, and it's good to see the move.
Gu Qingchi heard her words, sneered, and said lazily: "This king still has a big matter, thrush for the lady is the most important thing in the world." β
As he spoke, the movements of his hands were extraordinarily neat, but he drew the shape of his eyebrows with a few strokes.
It really added a complementary touch to her appearance.
Gu Qingchi looked at his masterpiece in the mirror with satisfaction, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but smile and sigh when he saw him like this, and let him go.
After all, Gu Qingchi is the most measured, since he is so calm and relaxed, even if he already has an idea in his heart.
She thought well, Gu Qingchi naturally had an idea.
What's more, he even knew why the emperor called him over.
During the New Year, Gu Qingchi sent someone to Anling County to arrange the arrangement, so he couldn't be clearer about the news of Anling County.
As for the so-called mob rising, it is far less serious. It's just a faΓ§ade to fool people.
And the official who came here today, if he doesn't make the matter a little more serious, how can he get more out of it?
In the final analysis, it is just a line of interests that are linked to each other. Most of the common people have been properly resettled, and it is enough for them to have food and clothing, but those officials are different, they need real money.
And it's a steady stream of real money.
Therefore, once the court makes a move, then in the end, it is the officials who benefit the most.
......
Gu Qingchi knew the twists and turns there, and waited until he had painted Shi Miaoyu's eyebrows and accompanied her in the room for a while, before he got up and changed a set of clothes and went to the palace.
Because of the seriousness of today's affairs, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rarely did not leave, but waited for Gu Qingchi's arrival on the Jinluan Palace.
Of course, they naturally waited for a long time.
It wasn't until Gu Qingchi's sleepy eyes came that some officials who couldn't help it immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, King Anling has no one in his eyes, it's really too much!"
This Gu Qingchi, relying on the emperor's favor, simply does not take the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty in his eyes, which is really hateful!
Hearing the man's words, Gu Qingchi glanced at the man casually, and then said lazily: "Brother Brother to the Imperial Brother to say goodbye, I don't know what the Imperial Brother is looking for to come to the Brother so early, what is the so-called matter?"
Seeing him like this, the emperor was disdainful and happy in his heart, but his face was angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Qingchi, what good things have you done, don't you know!"
Gu Qingchi had probably never heard the emperor speak to him in this tone, he was stunned at first, his face was dazed and aggrieved, and he was a little angry, and he said after a while: "Brother Huang has something to say, just say it, my brother is dull and doesn't understand what you mean." β
Seeing him say this, the emperor snorted, as if he was angry with Gu Qingchi, and pointed to the official next to him and said, "You, tell me the matter again!"
The official originally came for benefits, but after listening to the emperor's words, he hurriedly said the seriousness of Shandong again, and said at the end: "Emperor Mingjian, there will be trouble in Anling County at this time, if there is no food and soldiers, I am afraid it will be impossible to control!"
As soon as he didn't want his words to come out, he heard King Anling pat his chest and say: "Brother Huang, you are really a saint, fortunately you didn't let your brother go to Anling County, otherwise they would have made a fuss, and in the end it would be my brother who was unlucky!"
When he said this, his face still had a little joy for the rest of his life, and he only saw that everyone present looked at him angrily.
At the time of the national crisis, this King Anling only thought about his own interests, which was really hateful.
Some people were even more unaccustomed to Gu Qingchi's appearance, so they directly said angrily to him: "King Anling, this matter is caused by you, but now you are embarrassed to say such words, it is really a shame for the emperor and the current saint!"
When he mentioned the former emperor, Gu Qingchi's eyes were a little more gloomy, but the haze disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he saw him return to his original casualness, and said with a snort: "I said Lord Yuan, what do you mean by this, you can't be unreasonable." Just because Anling County is the fief of this king, you will push the matter to me?"
"You, you...... If you hadn't imposed taxes in the name of the emperor, why would those people rise up?"
Facing Lord Yuan's questioning, Gu Qingchi instantly lowered his face and said: "I said that the surname is Yuan, this king gives you face, and you kick your nose on the face, right? This king has never left the capital within a radius of 100 miles since he was born, I don't even know where Anling County is, where did I get the ability to let people collect taxes? I said that you bastard, it's a basin that casually deducts people's heads, could it be that you did this, and you are in a hurry to find a scapegoat?!"
When Gu Qingchi said this, he didn't wait for Lord Yuan to continue to speak, so he turned around and rushed towards the emperor, and said with a broken face: "Brother Huang, you love me the most on weekdays, you want to be the master of me, I will be wrongfully killed!"
Since the emperor doesn't want to tear off this mask of benevolence, then he will desperately knead the face under his mask!
When there was a stir before, some officials were skeptical. And those who clamored in unison to punish Gu Qingchi were arranged by the emperor a long time ago.
Now after listening to Gu Qingchi's words, someone came out and questioned: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter really needs to be investigated in detail." After all, although King Anling is a person who is interested in having fun, he is not a vicious person. Moreover, it is far away from Anling County, and it is not realistic for him to go there to collect taxes, but I am afraid that someone will plant a false accusation from it. β
In fact, what this person said was quite tactful, after all, in his cognition, this Gu Qingchi was a straw bag, and he really didn't believe that such a straw bag could do such a scheming thing.
As for his point of view, there are some people who quite agree.
In their eyes, they also felt that Gu Qingchi couldn't do it.
Such a demon king of the world, it's okay to make trouble, collect taxes in the name of the emperor, and then get it back unknowingly, and finally make trouble and the victims are displaced, and for such a long time, no official has noticed......
This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit unbelievable.
As a result, more than a dozen people agreed with this point of view for a while.
The Manchu Dynasty was divided into civil and military factions, and there were always some people who did not deal with each other, so in the end, this early dynasty, which was originally used to crusade against Gu Qingchi, became a battlefield for everyone's quarrel.
It's just that after these people quarreled with each other, they still wanted the emperor to stand on their own side.
It's just that except for a small number of people, other people don't know that the initiator of this incident is the emperor who is sitting on the dragon chair and looking at everyone with a gloomy face-Gu Qingyuan.
The emperor was almost angry that one Buddha went out of the body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he originally thought that nine out of ten things were strangely transferred to another angle at such a fast speed.
Looking at Gu Qingchi again, the anger on his face and the expression of begging the imperial brother to uphold justice made him grit his teeth in anger.
If he had known, he shouldn't have let people pass Gu Qingchi over, and just take him down and detain him in prison!
It's good now, his reputation has been preserved, but now I'm afraid that this situation will be broken!
The emperor was anxious, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, looking at the large group of people who were arguing with me below, he finally couldn't help it, threw down the paperweight on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Enough, shut up!"
The crisp sound instantly quieted down the ministers present, and said in unison: "My emperor forgives his sins." β
The emperor's face was gloomy, he looked at the courtiers below, and said word by word: "Today's morning dynasty aims to relieve the Shandong crisis, is it meaningful for you to quarrel like this?"
"My Emperor Shengming. β
Those ministers were well versed in Shun Mao's strategy, so after the emperor finished speaking, they turned to the emperor's ass. However, the emperor was angry now, and did not pay any attention to these words.
He glanced around with a majestic gaze, and said in a deep voice: "What is the matter of this matter, we still need to send someone to investigate in detail." But right now, the mob in Anling County is imminent, and I need you to deal with it. Which general would want to take his troops there?"
The emperor quickly calculated the countermeasures in his heart, knowing that he couldn't kill Gu Qingchi with one blow at the moment, so he decided to give up this matter and change the way.
Although the officials in the court hesitated a little, the calamity in Shandong was not fake, right? After his people arrived in Shandong and saw the local situation, they would find some people to add fuel and vinegar, and they could also press Gu Qingchi on the pillar of shame!
As soon as he thought of this, the emperor's eyes began to search the hall.
Wenchen has a choice, but the generals have to think about it clearly. Yue Zheng is not good, he and Gu Qingchi now have an in-law relationship, and he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Those Yue Zheng's subordinates can't do it either, what if they are in a pothole?
The emperor's gaze looked back and forth, and finally fixed on one person.
"Qin Zhao, would you like to go?"
That Qin Zhao is a young man who is not very old, and he is about in his early twenties this year. He is the son of the Qin family, and his father is Wu'an Hou, who is seriously ill, so he asked Qin Zhao to be crowned the son of the world a few years ago. Now Wu Anhou went to the hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate, and only came back to live for a few days throughout the year, and the people in Beijing called Qin Zhao Xiao Wu Anhou.
Not to mention anything else, his martial arts and strategy, the emperor is clear. So in just a moment, he locked on this candidate.
The most important thing is that Qin Zhao is his own person.
And Qin Zhao really lived up to his expectations, after the emperor said this, Qin Zhao quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Weichen will definitely live up to the emperor's instructions and arrest all those traitors!"
"Okay, it's worthy of being a good son of my Xichu!"
The emperor praised him, then turned to Wenchen, ordered one of his favorite ministers, and said: "I sent you to assist General Qin Zhao, one is to escort the disaster relief money and food, and the other is to find out what the disaster in Anling County caused, you may be able to do it?"
