Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ministers Are Angry
A proper royal scandal.
If this matter spreads, where will Zhao Hai's face go? Doesn't this continue to confirm his image of a faint tyrant?
The general of the Northern Expedition, who had just been canonized last night, forcibly broke into the dormitory of the first emperor's concubine at night, and this is okay.
Zhao Hai's brain was buzzing.
There were a bunch of eunuchs and palace people standing outside, with their eyebrows lowered at the moment, all covering their ears, for fear of hearing something they shouldn't have heard.
Zhao Hai trembled at this time and pointed at Wang Xiuhu, pointed at Lin Guifei and said, "Bold! Daring! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”
"It's ridiculous!" Zhao Hai angrily threw the jade belt he was holding on the ground and smashed it.
In this case, no matter how great Zhao Hai is, if he wants to silence many officials and people who do good things, he can often only kill all the people.
Zhao Hai thought that it would be difficult to protect the king and embroider the tiger.
His face showed a thunderous rage, he didn't expect that the general he had just entrusted with the important task last night, the general of the Northern Expedition, would poke out such a big basket today.
"What the hell is going on! Why did you break into Concubine Lin's bedroom! ”
Wang Xiuhu raised his head at this time, his eyes were all sudden, and he kowtowed to Zhao Hai three times in a row and said: "The minister begged His Majesty to give him death, it has nothing to do with the minister's father and sister, and the major crime was committed by the minister alone." ”
Zhao Hai kicked Wang Xiuhu in the chest, kicked Wang Xiuhu over to the emperor, he rushed over and grabbed Wang Xiuhu's neck and said, "You just want to die like this?" You just want to die! ”
"I just let you go to the north yesterday to serve as the general of the Northern Expedition! You're going to surprise me today! I still want to die, don't you! ”
Wang Xiuhu's face was extremely embarrassed and he didn't say a word.
Zhao Hai looked at Wang Xiuhu's appearance without a word of quibble, and he was even more angry, trembling with anger.
"Someone! Come! Put Wang Xiuhu, a rebel minister, into the prison! No one is allowed to visit! ”
"Also, seal off the Jing'an Temple, no one is allowed to enter or leave, including those who hold the decree of the Holy Order!" Zhao Hai strode out and said to Li Angelica, Shen Gonggong and others outside.
"Also, all the eunuchs and maids who saw these things last night, and all the people who knew about these things, are all under my centralized control, and no one is allowed to let out the news."
"If you can't do it, I'll ask you!"
Zhao Hai snorted coldly and walked away. Behind him were the trembling chief eunuch and the commander of the guards, as well as Lang Zhongling and others.
Zhao Hai returned to his Chengming Hall at this moment, calmed down his anger, and began to think about how to deal with it.
Zhao Hai lay on his bed expressionlessly, before the tea time. Suddenly, Li Angelica said anxiously outside: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask Your Majesty." ”
When Zhao Hai heard this, he sat up and thought of a bad result.
"Come in, come in quickly." Zhao Hai said.
Li Angelica pushed the door in, and said with a sad and painful look on his face: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the matter of General Wang and Lin Guifei has been spread, I don't know who passed it on." ”
"Now the officials and even the people in Xianyang City know about this."
Zhao Hai's face immediately showed an angry expression: "Bastard!" What a bastard! Bastard! Call Gongsun Jian, Han Ying, and Shen Gonggong to me! I'm going to see what they're up to! ”
Li Angelica was silent, said a promise and walked away quickly.
A moment later, the three of them knelt in Zhao Hai's Chengming Palace, bearing Zhao Hai's monstrous wrath.
"You three, how old are you, can't you do such a thing?"
"I didn't let you go to destroy the Huns, and I let you block the news, it's so difficult? Now the people of Xianyang City know it! What the hell do you eat? ”
One Buddha of Zhao Haiqi ascended to heaven, and two Buddhas entered the ground.
Han Ying, Gonggong Shen and Gongsun Jian didn't dare to raise their heads, so they knelt on the ground and suffered Zhao Hai's anger.
After a moment, Zhao Hai calmed down.
He thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.
He asked, "Do you think this could be a conspiracy?" ”
Gongsun Jian immediately clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has this intention, and agrees with Your Majesty's statement." ”
"Your Majesty explained the matter of the ministers and others blocking the news, and the ministers did not dare to slack off, and went all out."
"However, the news still spread faster than ordinary news, and the ministers suspected that someone had planned it a long time ago."
Han Ying also added: "Your Majesty, Wang Xiuhu passed by the Jing'an Hall last night, and there was something strange about it, and I also ask Your Majesty Rongchen to investigate it carefully before drawing conclusions." ”
Zhao Hai was silent for a long time with his eyebrows raised, and then said, "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
"Give me a strict investigation, which mouth did the rumor leak out of the mouth that couldn't hold the door, and I will definitely punish it severely."
"Also, be sure to use all your means to find out to me whether anyone is framing Wang Xiuhu about him. From what I knew of him, he was no such reckless person. ”
"I'm going to go to the court now, and before I go down, be sure to give me the result. Otherwise, you guys will go home and retire! Hum! After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
"Your Ministers obey."
A few people who looked at each other looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
……
In the early morning, Zhao Hai sat on the Jinluan chair.
The ministers at the bottom have already exploded the pot, and they have everything to say.
But nine times out of ten, they are all discussing the matter of Wang Xiuhu yesterday.
Liu Yuan was rarely silent today.
But an old minister with a white beard stood up.
Zhao Hai looked at it, covered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look directly.
This is his cousin Lu Boyang, one of the cousins of his father Emperor Yingzheng, and he is considered to be a royal prince. He was in charge of the affairs of the royal family and the affairs of the nobles of the relatives.
On weekdays, he will not say a word about major events in the DPRK and China. But once he wants to stand up, things will not be easy to do, because he is a stubborn temper. Even his father sometimes doesn't want to pay attention to him.
Lu Boyang hugged his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday's incident in the palace that caused a great chaos in the palace has spread to the people. The old minister dares to ask if His Majesty is true? ”
Zhao Hai turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention.
He can't say it's fake, he has to say it's false, not to mention that the minister doesn't believe it, even he doesn't believe it.
The news has already spread, how can it be settled by a false sentence.
Zhao Hai said: "Lu Aiqing, don't you have anything else to report?" ”
Lu Boyang said: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is something that affects Your Majesty's Longwei and the Great Qin State Body, and it must be investigated to the end." ”
"If it is true, the murderer must be severely punished and the three tribes will be wiped out."
Zhao Hai frowned, you old guy is ruthless enough, you will come up and wipe out my love will wipe out the three clans.
Zhao Hai said: "Yesterday's incident, I am still in the process of ordering someone to investigate, if there is a result, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible." ”
