Shen Ao's arrival weakened the whispers outside the palace a lot, and many people looked at the calm prince, and then looked at Shen Ao, who was talking and laughing, and it was difficult to say anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Ao greeted Quartz and Zhou Zheng for a while, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the palace, and a father-in-law came over with a whisk: "Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the palace to discuss politics." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed in, until they arrived at the lecture hall and stood according to the class.

Zhao Ji waited in the hall for a long time, Fu Case watched the ministers come in, cheered up, Zhu Mian's eyes fell on Shen Ao, smiled faintly at him, and then returned to the solemn color.

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat." Yang Jian shouted at the top of his voice.

This sentence is shouted, which means that His Majesty has no orders here, and if there is something on the side of the Emperor, he will say it.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they are all speechless, at this time, who dares to say anything, the main master has not spoken. There are even a few ministers, ** looking at the prince nakedly, full of anticipation.

There was silence for a while, as if the world was already peaceful, and the relief and construction that were usually noisy and noisy were no longer noisy at this time.

Zhao Ji looked a little irritable, and was anxious to go to Wenjing Pavilion with Shen Ao to talk, when he saw the ministers like this, his face sank: "What?" No one spoke, and I don't usually have a lot to say to me, but now I'm dumb. ”

At this time, someone said loudly: "Father, the son has something to say." ”

The hall suddenly regained a little vitality, and all eyes fell on the prince. With respect on his face, Zhao Heng saluted Zhao Ji in the Golden Palace, and then calmly waited for Zhao Ji's permission.

In the past, the crown prince rarely participated in court meetings, and even if he did, he would never express his opinion on government affairs. Sometimes Zhao Ji was in a good mood and would ask Zhao Heng's opinion, and Zhao Heng only said it ambiguously.

At this time, the prince suddenly wanted to speak, and looking at his face, it seemed that he had been planning for a long time, before Zhao Ji was already dissatisfied with the Qing Yi, at this time, the prince suddenly made this move, which first surprised him for a while, and then gave birth to a little anger, this son, what is he going to do today?

Just in front of the courtiers, Zhao Ji could only say with a pleasant face: "The emperor said that it doesn't matter." "Deliberately did not say the East Palace, but called the emperor.

Zhao Heng said slowly: "Father, Wang Hua and barbarians, only in one ritual word, the rite is called edification, those who do not know the etiquette are barbarians, my Great Song Dynasty is the central country, all countries come to the dynasty, and we should uphold the good-neighborly policy to educate the Quartet and promote virtue in the four seas." ”

Having said this, even fools understand Zhao Heng's intentions, Zhao Ji sneered: "It doesn't hurt for the emperor to speak out. ”

Zhao Heng said: "Erchen heard that Shen Ao, the king of Penglai County, ordered to clarify the sea route, which is a good thing. However, everything can not be overdone, in order to clarify the sea route, and the longitudinal sea merchants plundered Fanbang, which is not mentioned in the Great Song Dynasty, and it makes everyone in Fanbang feel at risk, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of exhaustion. That's not all, what's even more appalling is that Lord Shen actually wants to blackmail all kinds of people and ask for all kinds of land and ports. I am the country of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, the country of gentlemen, Shen Ao is the Qin Mission, representing the Great Song Dynasty and his father. ”

After that, Zhao Heng knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and continued: "The sons and daughters don't dare to discuss political affairs in vain. ”

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, but he didn't speak, what he was thinking about at this time was not Fanbang, but what was the reason for Zhao Heng to say this, the usually cowardly prince suddenly became so generous and decent, behind this, who instructed and who supported.

He smiled faintly, indifferently, but did not speak.

At this time, the imperial historian Lu Lin had already come out of class: "What the prince said is very true, the minister...... Seconded ......"

With the crown prince and Lu Lin starting up, those prince's sworn friends, as well as the officials in Quanzhou who suffered losses, and Lu Lin's protégés, all became in a commotion, arguing in the court, sometimes the same as fighting in a group, it is also about momentum, and the momentum is big, causing a kind of pressure, as long as His Majesty on the Golden Palace hesitates a little, there is a possibility of loosening.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"What the prince said is very true, deafening, and the minister thinks so."

"Please Your Majesty thoroughly investigate Shen Ao and appease Fanbang."

"If the etiquette does not exist, how can it return to the heart from all over the world? Fanbang treats the Great Song Dynasty with courtesy, how can the Great Song Dynasty make friends afraid of it with its authority. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

One by one, it didn't stop, one came out, and the other came out again, and there were the royal historians in high positions, there were squires, and the new officials were still in the book, in addition to these, there were also some directors of the imperial history, some of the directors of the ministries, and there were a lot of Jiuqing, and there were a few on the Privy Council.

Among these people, some of them have long been at odds with Shen Ao, and they took this opportunity to stand up and stir up troubled waters. There are also ministers whose interests have been damaged in Quanzhou, and at this time the prince came out to seek justice for everyone, if he hesitates again, it will be too unjust. As for the others, they are all some weeds, seeing that the momentum is so big, I can't help but want to push the wall down, maybe the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and it may not be possible to leave an impression on him because of today's incident.

There are more and more people, and there are more than a hundred people who stand out, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, almost three adults came out, and the rest are immovable, some just sneered and looked at the people who came out, and some held their own identities and closed their eyes to recuperate there.

Shen Ao, who was in the middle of the eye of the storm, had a bland face at the moment, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him.

The people who stood in line had already stood up, and now they were waiting for Zhao Ji's tribunal, and after a pause, everyone looked up in astonishment, and found that Zhao Ji was actually sitting in the hall, not moving, let alone saying a word.

Zhao Ji was actually not idle, but counted one by one, the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial History, the Ministry of Rites, and the ministries, temples, there were so many people, he took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Heng, at this time he suddenly realized that this honest prince, actually has such a means, if it weren't for today's sudden attack, I'm afraid that he is still in the dark.

He didn't make a sound, but the people below refused to be so silent, especially Lu Lin, Lu Lin said with a straight face: "Please Your Majesty check the sea route to set the record straight." ”

"Please check the sea route to set the record straight." The crowd responded violently, and the momentum was even more terrifying.

Zhao Ji said lightly: "Shen Ao, you come out." ”

Shen Ao came out of class and saluted Zhao Ji: "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Ji said: "What they said, but the truth? ”

Zhao Ji stared at Shen Ao with burning eyes, with expectation in his eyes, at this time, he had an unspeakable anger in his heart, but he couldn't attack at this time, now that so many people stood up, if he categorically vetoed it, he was afraid that these people would be pressing forward step by step, so he had to ask Shen Ao for help at this time, and let Shen Ao defend himself.

Shen Ao smiled: "Your Majesty, the merits, Wei Chen does not dare to assert it." But I dare to say that what Weichen has done is worthy of heaven and earth, and there is no place to live in Fanbang. The crown prince is a nobleman of Tianhuang, the secretary is the head of the six departments, the imperial historian is in charge of the Qing Dynasty, and there are many ministers, all of whom are the pillars of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is called taking retreat as advance, first making a weak posture.

Zhao Ji sneered: "You say, with me behind you, what else can't you say, what do you want to say, but it's okay to say it!" ”

This sentence is already biased, it is clear that he jumped into Shen Ao's trench, Shen Ao perked up his spirits, and said solemnly: "Weichen can't say it, if you want to say it, it's also the envoys of Fanbang who said it themselves, and Weichen implores Your Majesty to invite the envoys of Fanbang to meet you." ”

Many people in the palace nodded secretly, and let Fanbang himself say that this is justice. There are also people who are uneasy, Shen Ao is so determined, could it be that the envoys of Fanbang dare not complain? Some people also thought in their hearts that Shen Ao used to coerce and lure, and Fanbang dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but when they were called here, and seeing so many people fighting with Shen Ao, maybe when the time comes, they will pour bitter water and see how the surname Shen ends.

Speaking of inviting the envoys of Fanbang to meet him, almost everyone showed joy, and the prince's side, thinking that with his own presence, he would definitely make the envoys of Fanbang fight back. Shen Ao was also very determined here, as if he expected them to say what they wanted to say.

Zhao Ji nodded his head, and immediately had a palace man: "The envoys of the Xuan Zhuguo Kingdom have come to see you." ”

"Xuan ...... Envoys of all nations come to the ......"

……

One by one, the sound waves crossed farther and farther away, and echoed all the way to the Wu'an Palace.

After a stick of incense, envoys from various countries wearing various costumes came in, bowed to Zhao Ji according to the etiquette of his subordinates, and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is well." ”

Zhao Ji just replied lightly: "An." ”

Then he stopped talking.

Immediately, a minister came out and asked: "Envoys, standing here are not only my Great Song Emperor, but also the crown prince and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, if you have any grievances, you can make a statement here." Please rest assured, here, there is no need to have any taboos, there is the Son of Heaven and the crown prince to call the shots for you, and no one can hurt you. ”

The envoys of various countries were stunned for a moment, exchanging glances with each other, after all, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom knew some etiquette, and immediately said: "What is this lord, I waited for the Great Song Dynasty, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the Celestial Empire, and it was too late to be grateful in my heart, so what grievances and complaints did I have?" ”

The rest of them nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

As soon as he said this, someone immediately looked bad, and Lu Lin personally stood up and asked, "I tell you, Shen Ao is just a courtier here, he has great courage, and he can't intimidate you." ”

Li Heng got angry and said in a loud voice, "When did Lord Shen intimidate us?" I waited for the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been Lord Shen to entertain, its careful, teaching people to move, the ministers returned to the Yue Kingdom, but also to the king, to tell the Great Song and Shen Lord kindness, so that I Yue up and down, to the Great Song Dynasty often grateful. ”

Li Heng raised his head and remembered Shen Ao's considerate hospitality in Quanzhou, and many people immediately showed a look of emotion, and said: "Lord Shen and we are both good friends, how can friends intimidate each other?" ”

When these words came out, some of the ministers standing in the class couldn't help laughing, and then more people laughed. However, those courtiers and officials who went out of the class immediately turned pale, and they couldn't accept the words of these envoys for a while.

Zhao Heng bit his lip even more, but he couldn't say a word at the moment, and glared at Lu Lin angrily. Lu Lin's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and he asked bitterly: "Shen Ao connived at the maritime merchants to slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the ports of Yueguo, and you have no complaints?" and forced Yue Guo to cut out the port, and you have no complaints? How much benefit did you receive from Shen Ao, and how much did you threaten him, so you excused him like this. ”

At this point, there was already a bit of a compulsion to make a statement, and many people in the hall couldn't help frowning, and a few ministers of the old party opened their mouths to say something, but in the end they endured it and looked at the attitude of the envoy first.

At this time, Zhao Ji on the Golden Palace also coughed, obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Lin's words, but in front of so many people, it was not easy to attack.

Lu Lin's expression at this time can only be described as hateful, his face is hideous, and he looks like he wants to put Shen Ao to death, and his eyes are staring at Li Heng naked, like a hungry lion.
