Chapter 710, the monarch and the minister are suspicious!

Taihe Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Above the court, the monarch is high, and on both sides of the hall stand civil and military officials.

Since the death of the first emperor last year, his younger brother King Fu ascended the throne, which is now King Xifeng Hui.

King Hui was in the position of the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and looked at the many courtiers in front of him condescendingly, but he did not have too much of a king's spirit, his spirit was sluggish, he yawned, and said weakly: "The Peacock King convened a note from the Nine Kingdoms, and the secretaries came out with a charter. Then the Nine Nations note that we go or not? How's it going? What if you don't go? ”

"Your Majesty, the Peacock King is the king of the Peacock Dynasty, not the king of our West Wind Empire----- he is simply harboring evil intentions when he gathers a party. We don't want to go to these nine countries' notes. A young courtier stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the note of the Nine Nations is a gathering of the Nine Nations, and each of the Covenant Nation has the right to convene a meeting. If we don't go, all the other countries go, does that mean that our Zephyr Empire is not among the nine great powers? An old and dignified courtier said aloud.

"I still have to go----- but what Li Shilang said just now is very reasonable, the Peacock King is uneasy and kind, and he claims to be the co-owner of Shenzhou when he gets that Wanling Jade Seal, which is really ridiculous------"

"A small artifact, even if it has the supernatural power of overwhelming mountains and seas, but our West Wind Empire has millions of soldiers, fierce generals like clouds, and there are starry sky powerhouses like Song Lao Immortal, what wind and waves can they afford-----"

"Just ignore it."

"If you don't go, how do you know what conspiracy the Peacock King is going to do?"

--------

As soon as King Hui's question was raised, the civil and military ministers below all quarreled.

The middle-aged man standing at the head of Wenchen's right frowned slightly, took two steps, arrived at the center of the main hall, bowed, and said to King Hui, who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, the Peacock King summoned a note from the Nine Kingdoms and invited the royal families of all countries to participate, and Weichen thought that we should send someone to go. One is the etiquette of the royal family of the west wind. What if the next time I convene a note from the Nine Kingdoms, the royal families of other countries do not send representatives? Second, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the country, if you don't even have the courage to go and explore, you will lose the honor of a great country. Three, let's also see what the Peacock King wants to do at the conference. ”

"Although the Wanling Jade Seal is rumored to be miraculous, if you get it, you will have the opportunity to become the co-owner of Shenzhou. However, does the Peacock King really have this luxury? I'm afraid that when the time comes, as long as he reveals such an intention, he will be attacked by other countries----- which is also a good show to think about. Whether it is the attitude of the Peacock King or the reaction of other royal families to this, we must know the other. Therefore, these nine countries have sent a note to our West Wind Empire that we have to send people there. ”

The person who spoke was Gu Qinglin, the right minister of the West Wind, Gu Qinglin was the son-in-law of the Song family and the head of the civil officials of the West Wind court.

When the Lu clan had not yet collapsed, there were rumors that Lu Xingkong wanted to seize the position of Zuo Xiang. It's a pity that the position of the left prime minister has not been able to be collected in the naan, and he has been exterminated because of the crime of rebellion, which is also ironic.

It is precisely because of this that the position of left minister is still vacant until now.

Listening to Gu Qinglin's words, other officials echoed one after another.

"Gu Xiang is a loyal and righteous word."

"Gu Xiang's words are reasonable, and we will second."

"Gu Xiang is thoughtful, but we are short-sighted and don't see it really enough-----"

--------

King Hui had known this was the case for a long time.

Whenever he throws out a question, Gu Qinglin is okay when he doesn't speak, and everyone will have a symbolic discussion. Once Gu Qinglin stood up and spoke, no one would raise any objections. The words of a prime minister are much more useful than the words of his own king.

No way, who made him the spokesperson of the Song family above the court?

However, Gu Qinglin is also extremely smart, and he will not embarrass himself everywhere in order to show his majesty. Most of the time, it is still necessary to take into account the face of King Hui and maintain a unified pace with him. It's rare to stand up and make your voice heard.

King Hui yawned again, a tired and tired appearance after a long time, and he was indeed tired, the concubines in the recent draft were quite good, which made him work hard day and night, and Zhang Qu, who was in charge of the selection of concubines, was also praised by him.

"Since all the secretaries think that it is necessary for me to send someone to attend the note, then you will discuss who to send again, okay?"

As a result, there was once again a discussion in the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Yan Bolai is suitable for this position. General Yan has a rich resume and is a steady ----"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Chenggang is suitable for ------"

"There is a ------- recommended by one of the ministers"

---------

King Hui sat up straight, looked at Gu Qinglin with a smile, and said, "Does the Prime Minister have a good manpower to recommend?" ”

"There is indeed a recommendation in the minister's heart." Gu Qinglin said respectfully.

"Oh, if the Prime Minister thinks this person is suitable, then it must be suitable------ tell me quickly, who does the Prime Minister want to recommend for this important task?"

"General Song Yu." Gu Qinglin's face was expressionless, and he said loudly.

Hearing this name, the faces of the civil and military officials became strange. Even King Hui was a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect Gu Qinglin to propose such a candidate.

Song Yu, the military leader of the Song family.

This person is indeed a good hand at marching and fighting, and he has accumulated military merits step by step with a pawn to become a great general of a country. Even Lu Xingkong, who was most tired of the children of the family going to the army to grab merit, did not suppress him back then, but let him go and let him be promoted.

However, this man was also criticized. Every time you fight, you will kill all the prisoners. Every time a city is captured, it will make its soldiers blissful for three days.

Bliss is to burn, kill, rob, and vent sexual desires. All the cities he conquered will eventually become hell on earth.

He can fight, he can fight, and he will win. However, his style of conduct is extremely criticized, not only in the Zephyr Empire, but also in other countries.

To ask such a person to represent the West Wind Empire to participate in the Nine Kingdoms Note, what is the Song family's idea?

"General Song Yu------" King Hui chewed on the name in his mouth and said: "Guarding the iron gate is a great duty, and it is easy not to leave without permission." ”

"Your Majesty, the Iron Gate Pass is like a cloud, and there are hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen waiting for the side pillow soldiers. It should be able to ensure that the iron gate is closed without worry-----" Gu Qinglin seemed to be very insistent on Song Yu's candidate. "Your Majesty must have confidence in the generals under his command. Even if General Song Yu is not at the Iron Gate Pass, the other generals will be able to defend the territory for His Majesty and protect our country's territory. ”

King Hui nodded, raised his eyes, and asked, "Do you have any objections?" ”

After asking, no one answered.

Just kidding, who wants to go against Gu Qinglin? Who wants to offend the Song family behind Gu Qinglin? You don't want to easily resent the Song family's intentions, which courtier is willing to kill himself?

The emperor asked the question, but no one answered from the crowd below. The scene instantly became a little weird.

"The minister has objections." At this moment, a neutral voice broke the tranquility and ---- embarrassment of the Taihe Palace.

Everyone stared at the person who spoke wide, is there really a person in this west wind court who is not afraid of death?

Zhu Yuren walked out of the crowd quickly, knelt down in the center of the hall, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has objections. ”

When King Hui saw Zhu Yuren, he asked with a smile, "Zhu Aiqing, do you have any objections?" ”

"General Song Yu is a moral disadvantage, and he is not qualified to replace my West Wind Empire for this important position." Zhu Yuren said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a stone on the surface of a calm lake, and it was like pouring a large pot of vegetable oil into boiling water.

"Zhu Yuren, are you crazy? General Song was loyal to the monarch and protected the country, and fought bravely to kill the enemy on the frontier, how could he have lost virtue? ”

"Speaking to show evidence, what did General Song Yu do that made Zhu Yushi attack so frustratedly?"

"This is the attitude towards those patriotic men on the frontier? Doesn't this kind of behavior chill the hearts of those warriors who have thrown their heads and spilled their blood------"

--------

For a time, Zhu Yuren became one of the clans.

Those civil officials are better, but they are just scolding and saying some damaging words. Those generals were short-tempered, and they rushed up one by one to let Zhu Yuren eat an old fist.

Jin An, the great eunuch who was serving beside King Hui, shook the dust with his hand and shouted sharply: "Quiet----- quiet-----

But his shouting had no effect. The civil officials are still scolding, and the military generals are rolling up their sleeves and want to fight.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Flying Feather Army above the court to maintain order, I am afraid that it would have become a pot of porridge long ago.

"Above the court, who is arrogant?" Gu Qinglin shouted: "What kind of system is it that is noisy and noisy? ”

As soon as Gu Qinglin roared like this, those forces belonging to the Song family naturally stopped.

The descendants of the Song family are silent, and the officials of other forces will no longer have nothing to do.

When the court was cleared, Gu Qinglin looked at Zhu Yuren, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "There is reason not to be loud. In front of Your Majesty, what can't be said explicitly? Master Zhu, since you said that Song Yu's virtue is at a loss, what evidence is there? ”

Zhu Yuren still fell to his knees, but his back was straight. His face was calm, and he didn't have any emotional changes because of the farce just now.

"Your Majesty, my general Song Yu bullied the court officials and tortured and killed the officials' daughters. and colluded with bandits to massacre two hundred and sixteen court officials------," Zhu Yuren's voice was like a bell, and he told the shocking remarks word by word.

The house was amazed!

Some people are really surprised, and some people are fake shocked!

People who are really shocked don't know about the tragic incident more than 20 years ago. At that time, Song Yu was still a young man, and there were still many people in the court who did not enter the court as officials. Even if someone said something half-sentenced, it was because of the authority of the Song clan that he did not dare to speak thoroughly.

The people who are hypothetical are those old officials who have been in the court for decades and are accustomed to seeing the secrets of the ups and downs of the court and the opposition. What they were shocked was not the incident itself, but that someone dared to open it in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

"What does this Zhu Yuren want to do? Is he crazy? ”

"Who is he instructed to? Which side did you make the sword? ”

"Could it be that Zhu Yuren is a member of the Yan family? Impossible, right? The Yan family will not kill themselves at this time and start a war against the Song family------ could it be that the Cui family is behind the scenes? ”

--------

The mind was turning, and this time everyone was silent, and no one spoke.

They all knew that a brutal court struggle was about to begin.

The winner lives, and the loser dies.

A flash of divine light flashed in King Hui's eyes, and even his sluggish spirit was much more uplifted, his crooked body adjusted slightly, and he stood on the stage, staring at Zhu Yuren, a spokesman who was kneeling on the ground.

"Who is this man? What does it mean? King Hui thought to himself.

"Is it the bait thrown by the Song family, or is it the vanguard sent by other forces?"

How should I decide? Is it to take advantage of the situation to cut off the wings of the Song family, or to find an excuse to suppress this matter and protect Song Yu------"

------

Between the lightning and flint, countless thoughts surged into King Hui's heart.

No way, as the emperor of the West Wind Empire, he knows how he ascended the throne, and he also knows that the Song family is so powerful that he can't easily contend with it.

They can ruin the big brother, and they can also ruin themselves with despicable means-----

However, if this is a sword cut by the hostile forces of the Song family, if he ignores it, will he miss the opportunity?

King Hui decided to wait and see what happened, and first look at the situation in the court before making a decision.

With a decision in his heart, King Hui looked at Zhu Yuren and said, "Lord Zhu, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"The minister knows." Zhu Yuren bowed down heavily and said: "Your Majesty will not give up, let the old minister accompany the king's side, discuss the left and right, and use Kuang Renjun." The old minister was terrified, afraid that he was only a shallow learner and could not take on this important responsibility. However, the old minister still has a loyal and patriotic heart and a clear and upright eye. Everything that the old minister sees and hears, he must go up to heaven and listen. For His Majesty to make his own decisions. lest Your Majesty be blinded by the charming, and the Sacred Heart may be defiled. ”

"The minister knows that General Song Yu is an important general of the country, and he must not be lightly polluted or desecrated. Reputation must not be tarnished in the slightest. However, the old minister knows that the more he is a minister, the more he must set an example. The more important the ministers, the more they must set an example for the courtiers of the world. General Song Yu was a moral defect, killed the court officials, and in order to avoid the evil deeds from being exposed, he punished his entire clan, which was really cruel and vicious, and it was outrageous. This is the work of beasts, and how can they allow the beasts to occupy a high position of office, and be pointed out by all the people, and abandoned by all the people------

A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Qinglin's mouth, and he said, "Master Zhu, you don't have to buckle so many big hats for General Song Yu. Since you accuse General Song of being virtuous, you only need to point out that the human and material evidence is ----- right and wrong, and it is up to His Majesty and this martial artist to make a decision. ”

Gu Qinglin's eyes flashed murderous, and he said fiercely: "If Lord Zhu can't produce evidence, then, if this act of insulting and attacking the important generals of the imperial court in public ------ leads to disorder at the border gates and the morale of the army is unstable, I will ask the emperor to treat you for the crime of bullying the king." At that time, you won't be able to keep the head around your neck. ”

Gu Qinglin suddenly had some worries.

How long has it been, since the fall of the Lu clan, no one in the court has dared to compete with their Song clan.

Fortunately, the power of the Song family is becoming more and more stable, but some people jump out to impeach the generals of the Song family.

If Song Yu is taken by them, who will replace him as a general? Who will lead the hundreds of thousands of proud soldiers at the Iron Gate Pass?

The younger generation of the Song family has not really grown up, Song Lang, who originally led the Qilin Army, was a talent that could be created, but he was killed by the arrogant and willful little son of the West Wind.

If you use an outsider, what if that person doesn't have the same heart as the Song family? In the final analysis, military power is still in the hands of one's own home. Look at the Lu clan back then, holding military and political power and controlling millions of soldiers. The result? As soon as the Lu clan fell, those outside generals chose to be loyal to the Song clan.

Such a general can also be used?

They must not be allowed to do so.

Whoever started the dispute, the other side will pay a heavy price. As for this Zhu Yuren, don't you want to redress the case for the old friend who has been dead for many years, then let you go with him to Jiuquan as a companion------

Everyone understood the deep meaning of Gu Qinglin's words. Song's work is naturally to be clean and beautiful. If you can't come up with any evidence of Song Yu's crime, then, when Song Yu is angry, some incidents will definitely happen in Yanmen Pass, such as 100,000 soldiers writing blood letters, and then failing in the war, all these things can be pushed to Zhu Yuren.

Under the anger of the crowd, what kind of big deal is it to ask for an order to kill a Zhu Yuren------ ?

Zhu Yuren glanced at Gu Qinglin with a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Xiang doesn't need to threaten with words, I know what I'm doing, since I dare to stand up, I have put life and death out of my body, as for the head on my neck, Gu Xiang wants it, and he can reach out to get it----- but the old minister is just stating one fact, if the truth has not been verified, the old minister will fall to the ground." I'm afraid that the reputation of Gu Xiang's thousand-year-old scholarly family will be damaged, right? Scholars all over the world will also discuss this matter. If one day the water comes out, Gu Xiang and many people are -----afraid that they will be stared at the pillar of shame of the author in the world. Why bother? ”

"Lord Zhu just said that I was threatening with words, and now it is Lord Zhu who is threatening with words, right?" Gu Qinglin's face turned pale. "What? Lord Zhu is not afraid of death, so he can unscrupulously pour sewage on the important ministers of the court? ”

"That's it, Master Zhu will take out any evidence, why bother with so much tongue------"

"Gu Xiang is angry, this Lord Zhu is used to firing guns, and he can't change this problem today-----"

"What about the evidence? Take out the evidence that Lord Song Yu is virtuous-----"

--------

King Hui knew that the Song family was really angry this time, and he couldn't persuade him to stop him anymore, so he asked out loud: "Lord Zhu, since you accuse General Song Yu of being virtuous, do you have any evidence?" ”

"The minister has evidence." Zhu Yuren said loudly.

"Where's the evidence?"

"The minister didn't dare to say it." Zhu Yuren said loudly.

“--------”

This time, even King Hui was angry and shouted: "Master Zhu, since you said that you have evidence in your hand, and you don't want to present the evidence in court------ are you deliberately teasing me?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare." Zhu Yuren's waist was still straight, and he said loudly: "The minister is afraid that the evidence will be robbed." The ministers were afraid to give a witness, and the witness was killed. Therefore, the minister did not dare to say. ”

“-------”

Hearing this, the hearts of everyone in the court sank.

Everyone realized that with the power of the Song clan at this moment, if they wanted to do something, no one would be able to intercept it. Not even a monarch in a position of great power can do it.

What Zhu Yuren said was not wrong, if he said the evidence, I am afraid that the emperor's Feiyu army has not yet arrived, and I am afraid that the people of the Song family have already gone over to rob the things first. If he is talking about a man, that man will not survive to be summoned by His Majesty-----

Song said that black is black, and white is white, referring to the deer as a horse, doing whatever he wants, and no one can compete with him.

Is this really a blessing for these civil and military officials?

At this time, those who were not descendants of the Song family or loyal to other forces suddenly began to sympathize with Zhu Yuren and began to be wary of the Song family.

In any case, the Song family cannot be allowed to dominate.

Syllable------

King Hui slapped on the imperial chair, pointed at Zhu Yuren in the center of the hall and shouted angrily: "Zhu Yuren, don't you dare to kill you?" You accuse my general of being virtuous, but you are unwilling to tell the witnesses and hand over the evidence----- you let me, and how can the Manchu civil and military believe in the truth of your impeachment? ”

"Your Majesty, General Song Yu robbed Li Wan, the young daughter of the Imperial Historian family, twenty-one years ago, for rape # adultery, and then Li Wan escaped by luck and was chased to Antler Street and killed in public, and the young woman was torn into flesh----- there are countless spectators of this matter, and there are also rumors in Tiandu City. It's just that at that time, someone exonerated the villain Song Yu, sent Li Sanjie's family to Yancheng, and sent Song Yu to the border, which calmed down the matter----- because of the fear of power, the people of Tiandu dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I'm afraid that there are many people in the court who know about this matter, right? ”

Zhu Renren's sharp eyes glanced left and right, and many older ministers avoided his gaze and were unwilling to look at him.

Zhu Yuren sighed softly, he knew that it was impossible to want people to stand up and echo him. In addition to being willing to wade into this troubled water, others are afraid that they will avoid it far away. I only hope that the master behind the scenes can turn over the clouds and rain, use thunderous means to take down Song Yu, and let the Li family get revenge and revenge, and it will not be in vain to sacrifice himself.

"Poor Li Yushi's family fled to Yancheng, and they were still slaughtered by the whole family. said that it was done by Jiang Yang's thief Red Boy, but in fact, it was General Song Yu who secretly instigated it-----"

"Zhu Yuren, you shut up for me."

An official rushed up to him and slapped Zhu Yuren on the cheek.

Caught off guard, Zhu Yuren was slapped heavily, a palm print appeared on his face, and even the hat on his head was blown out.

"General Song Yu defends the frontier for the country, and his merit is in the future, how can I allow you, an ignorant old man, to slander here, I, Cai Jingcheng, will tear you up today, lest you spit out iv------ory in your dog's mouth."

"Presumptuous." The corners of King Hui's eyes twitched slightly, glanced at Gu Qinglin, and said, "Above the court, how can you be so presumptuous?" Come on, drag Cai Jingcheng out for me and weigh the rod for twenty -----."

Gu Qinglin's spine was cold, and a wave of killing intent surged through his body.

It was he who motioned Cai Jingcheng to go and pump people with his eyes, on the one hand, he didn't want Zhu Yuren to say too much, and on the other hand, he also had the intention of messing up the scene. Taking chestnuts from chaos is the most reasonable.

Unexpectedly, King Hui only let people drag Cai Jingcheng out, but he did not punish Zhu Yuren, who was full of nonsense. Zhu Yuren is still in the palace, so Song Yu's matter must continue to be held accountable.

Could it be that King ------ Hui is no longer willing to be this emperor?

Gu Qinglin sneered in his heart.

"If you don't want to be a son, I'm afraid you won't even have to be a grandson------"
