Chapter 10: Zhu Conghou's Conspiracy (2)
This is the reason for the convening of the four-ministry meeting.
But listening to Zhu Conghou, he smiled slightly and said: "After the detoxification grass was collected back then, it was sent to the imperial city and cultivated by a special person, and then it was divided into three departments according to the head, and our three departments have a large population, so the population increase speed will naturally be fast, and it is inevitable that disputes will arise because of the lack of detoxification grass." However, the population of the Imperial City is different, if the minister guesses correctly, the antidote grass in the Imperial City should be excessive, right?"
As soon as he said this, Commander Li's face changed, and Fang Ling also squinted, sure enough, Zhu Conghou wanted to target Xi Zhengyong.
Commander Li said in a deep voice: "General Zhu, do you mean this, do you mean that the emperor watched you fight and did not distribute the antidote grass?"
Zhu Conghou arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, the minister has absolutely no disrespect." However, it is really sad to see the people fighting for life and death because of the detoxification weed, and I think everyone has doubts in their hearts, how much was left in the imperial department when the poisonous weeds were decomposed, and how much is there now?"
Xi Zhengyong said calmly: "General Zhu, in the distribution of the detoxification grass back then, in fact, the three parts of you got more detoxification grass than the one in the imperial city. ”
"Oh, so that's the case, the emperor is really kind-hearted. But ......" Zhu Conghou smiled playfully, and changed his words, "But the emperor can't convince everyone with these few words alone, right?"
Commander Li said in a deep voice: "General Zhu, what do you mean by this? You dare to doubt the emperor's words!"
Zhu Conghou said calmly: "The minister has no other meaning, just hope that the emperor will solve everyone's doubts, the imperial city has cultivated the detoxification grass for a hundred years, and the detoxification grass will be distributed after 20 years, how much has been cultivated in these 20 years, and how much has been collected that year, everyone is not clear." ”
As soon as he said this, the officials couldn't help but whisper, the cultivation place of the antidote grass is the important place of the imperial city, and only the imperial doctor can enter, and then the antidote leaves and green silk pills are distributed on time every month, but how many are there, even if they ask the imperial doctor, the other party is tight-lipped.
Zhou Zujie snorted coldly and questioned: "Could it be that the emperor hid a large amount of detoxification grass for his own selfishness, and let us courtiers fight for the detoxification weed?"
Xi Zhengyong's face couldn't help but sink, and Xu Tianchang scolded in a deep voice: "Two generals, you are simply committing such a crime!"
Zhu Conghou said: "General Xu, we are not committing the following crimes, but speaking for the people, if there are many antidote herbs in the imperial city, and the emperor is watching our tribe fight, then how can the people be convinced?"
Fang Ling narrowed his eyes when he heard this, Zhu Conghou's move can be described as quite powerful, using the people as a pretense to force Xi Zhengyong to explain the matter of antidote grass.
Once Xi Zhengyong confesses the amount of antidote grass, then it means that Zhu Conghou has the upper hand, and the emperor's majesty will not exist? When this matter spreads, I am afraid that the people will praise Zhu Conghou for his courage in not fearing imperial power and fighting for the interests of the people.
Suddenly, Fang Ling's pupils dilated suddenly, Zhu Conghou's request was not only so simple, there must be a deeper and deeper purpose, could it be ......
Commander Li whispered on the side, "Your Majesty, this is not acceptable. ”
