Chapter 223: Zhongqing is a dog at the door
The next day, Shi Liyuan and Zhou Yinglong, the prime ministers of the two prefectures, both led their deputies into the palace to see the driver, Long Guangning gave the seat and sat down, and Bi Jiyu also arrived.
Seeing that Bi Laoshuai also entered the palace to see the driver, Shi Liyuan and Zhou Yinglong both muttered in their hearts, is there something wrong? Why didn't I get a report?
The normal report, the military should have seen the report first by Zhou Yinglong, and the non-military should have seen the report first, if it did not go through the report of the two governments, it would be directly presented to the emperor, or, it was the report of the Imperial City Division.
The two old guys glanced at each other, and found that each other's eyes were blank, knowing that the other party had not received the report, that is to say, what the emperor was going to say today was not an ordinary thing.
Of course, maybe it was the emperor himself who came up with it in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard some discussions in the market recently?" Long Guangning took a sip of the fragrant tea held by the little eunuch, glanced at the important ministers sitting on both sides and said.
"The emperor is referring to ......." Everyone is a little confused, the emperor will not be bored, summon everyone into the palace to gossip.
"Discussion about Rao Feng's war." Long Guangning casually picked up a copy of the case and said, "A few days ago, the Imperial City Division detective played, and the people in the market scolded me for being a gutless bandit, and scolded Zhongqing for being a dog at the door... Do you know what this means? ”
, it's just a matter of scolding the Son of Heaven for not having the guts, and even scolding the emperor for being a bandit, it's really going back, aren't they afraid of killing their heads and exterminating the clan? If it's just a scolding official, the ant people in the market are so arrogant? How can this be justified, it should be killed, and the nine clans should be punished.
What makes them most angry is that it's just enough to scold the emperor, why even our courtiers are scolded, and they even scold us dogs? It's really unreasonable, the uncle can bear the aunt and can't bear it, and it must be strictly investigated and punished.
In ancient times, since there was a saying that the imperial history could hear about things, the officials and Qingliu simply turned into street shrews, scolding people every day, of course, the people they scolded included the emperor. Moreover, I don't know when it began, the Yanguan is proud of daring to scold, proud of scolding ruthlessly, and proud of scolding the emperor, it seems that the more ruthless he scolds, the more he dares to scold, the more loyal he is to the monarch and the more patriotic.
Selling straight and seeking fame is the favorite method used by Qingliu.
Scolding is the prerogative of the official, when will it be the turn of the ant people in the market to speak falsely? Therefore, several important ministers here, including Bi Jiyu, who has retired, are very angry.
"Your Majesty, the ant people have no form, vain talk about the emperor's etiquette, attack the courtiers, and ask the emperor to order a strict investigation and kill the ant people who speak falsely, so as to pay respect." Liang Chengda, the Chinese scholar, stood up and saluted Long Guangning.
This Liang Chengda was born as a Jinshi, but he has been in politics for more than ten years and has no political achievements. That's why he climbed to this position and ran rampant in the court, just because he was good at flattering and patting horses, and he was ruthless, and he acted as Shi Liyuan's pawn in the Han Qixuan incident and killed countless people. Shi Liyuan appreciated him very much, and in order to strengthen his control over the three provinces, Shi Liyuan made him to the position of squire and right servant in Zhongshu Province.
The heads of the three provinces are all prime ministers, and the three positions of Zhongshu Ling, Men Shizhong (Ping Zhangshi), and Shangshu Ling are all in the phase, and everyone is on an equal footing. But often the rules are not the same as the reality. Shi Liyuan is powerful, although he is only a Zhongshu order, he actually controls the three provinces, as if he is the chief deacon of the three provinces, and Liang Chengda has Shi Liyuan in charge, and even rode to the head of the chief officials of the other two provinces in the three provinces, as if he was the deputy deacon.
Hearing someone scolding the officials as dogs, he didn't care about himself, because he often said that he was a dog of Shi Xiang. But someone scolded his master Shi Liyuan but he couldn't, so when others were still thinking about whether what Long Guangning said was true or false, he had already jumped out.
Long Guangning glanced at Liang Chengda, who was standing in the hall, didn't speak, turned his head and looked at Shi Liyuan, meaning, Shi Xiang, take care of your dog, until he squeaks crookedly?
When the emperor speaks, what he says, what kind of expression he speaks, etc., all have deep meanings, some words must be answered by the courtiers, some words do not need to be answered by the courtiers, some words, the courtiers must come up with a plan to put forward suggestions, and some speak, but they do not need the courtiers' suggestions and do not need the courtiers' plans.
What Long Guangning said just now, of course, needs to be answered by the courtiers present, but it is obvious that the answer that the emperor wants is not Liang Chengda's nonsense, if it is just how to deal with those who curse, does the emperor need to take it out solemnly and tell the two chiefs?
"Your Majesty, has the detective of the Imperial City Division found out clearly, why do people say such rebellious words?" Shi Liyuan quietly glared at Liang Chengda, and then stood in the hall and saluted.
"Hehe, let's go back to our seats, just sit down and talk." Long Guangning waved his hand and motioned to Shi Liyuan and Liang Chengda to say.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shi Liyuan Liang Chengda returned to his seat and sat down.
"Zhongqing, according to the investigation report of the Imperial City Division, the reason why the people will scold me and Zhongqing is because I and the hundred officials have done nothing, and the corpse is vegetarian... Monarchs and ministers are derelict in their duties...... Long Guangning glanced at Shi Liyuan and Zhou Yinglong, and then said, "The thieves invaded my border town of Jinzhou Shiquan for no reason, and thousands of soldiers and horses were invincible, and they reached Rao Feng Pass in the near future. Later, after the famous general of our dynasty, Meng Shilang attacked the enemy with strange soldiers, and there were no more than 4,000 Hu soldiers in one night. This is a great victory, and the whole country celebrates. ”
"But what about after the celebration? What have you done? Long Guangning glanced at the people present with very serious eyes, and said in a deep voice, "No, Zhongqing didn't do anything, just immersed in a small victory......." ”
The emperor actually cursed, this has never happened, in the past, even if the emperor was angry again, he would not scold people in person, at most he would sulk.
Long Guangning said these words, if they are placed in modern times, they are nothing at all, but in ancient times, the ancients were thin-skinned, which is a very serious reprimand. Therefore, even Shi Liyuan felt that his old face was hot.
Bi Jiyu had actually retired from political and military affairs, but he was also very ashamed when he heard this, but he found out immediately after he was ashamed. The emperor is different today, so the emperor said these words, it must be... Does the emperor have any ideas......?
Bi Jiyu opened his cloudy old eyes, and the old general was wondering, did the emperor do something?
Bi Jiyu thought that Long Guangning had revitalized the imperial power again, while Shi Liyuan didn't think so much, but he thought of an emergency thing to please the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the thief should apologize for this matter, Da Song should be compensated by Hu Ting, and we have to be high-profile and ask the lion to open his mouth." Shi Liyuan looked suddenly awake.
Shi Liyuan said this, Zhou Yinglong was a little confused, this thing, he has always been talking from Hu Gou's side, why did he suddenly suggest to go under the knife to Hu Gou? Could it be, what kind of conspiracy does he have?
And Liang Chengda's dog legs are confused, he doesn't know whether to keep up, the master didn't prompt, what kind of operation is this? This is inconsistent with the master's usual behavior, hasn't he always avoided Donghu? Why did you suddenly get tough?
There are rumors in the market that Shi Liyuan is a fine work that Donghu people planted in Dasong ten years ago, and Liang Chengda has also heard about this rumor, and he even thinks that it is. However, since it is Donghu's secret spy, why is it ...... now. Could it be that the rumors outside are all false? Could it be that Shi Xiang is a person who loves Da Song and is loyal to the emperor?
Liang Chengda kept looking at Shi Liyuan, hoping to get a hint on his face. But no, Shi Liyuan is extremely serious now, straightens his waist, sits on half a brocade pier, and waits very respectfully for the emperor's instructions.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhou Yinglong, who had not squeaked, spoke.
Shi Liyuan's hand was stretched out very long, although he did not fully control the Privy Council, but this old man had already mixed a lot of his people in the Privy Council, and the Privy Council was basically controlled by him. In the court, Shi Liyuan sniped Zhou Yinglong from time to time, and often used the ministers under his control to "besiege the Privy Council". Therefore, Zhou Yinglong regards Shi Liyuan as an enemy, the two have never seconded each other's propositions, and it is the best situation if they do not block or dismantle the stage, but now Zhou Yinglong actually seconded Shi Liyuan's suggestion.
It's unprecedented, and everyone is amazed.
Zhou Yinglong seconded the proposal, completely out of state considerations.
Donghu invaded the south for no reason, although Hu Ting had sent an envoy to explain that the action was not Hu Ting's intention, and dealt with a group of courtiers. But who knows if what the Hu people say is true or false? Besides, whether it is Hu Ting's intention or the private actions of the people below, they have already hurt Da Song, and they have caused Da Song to suffer moral and material losses.
Therefore, Donghu should apologize and compensate, and it must not be left alone.
Hehe, if it had been placed in the previous decades, Donghu would never have just sent an envoy to explain, let alone apologize, maybe Donghu would have taken advantage of this to directly wave his troops south.
But now it's different, and now Donghu no longer has such ability.
This is a good opportunity, so Zhou Yinglong seconded Shi Liyuan's suggestion.
"Well... Good... Haha, the thief is hateful, I must let the world know that the thief has committed an unprovoked offense, and it is absolutely impossible to stop it like this, and the thief must apologize and compensate. Long Guangning Longyan Exhibition, he couldn't imagine that Shi Liyuan actually thought the same as Ma Hanshan.
No one could understand why Shi Liyuan would make such a suggestion, and Long Guangning didn't understand it either. However, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, someone has already achieved the goal if you put it forward, so Long Guangning is very happy.
"Your Majesty, a lot of time has passed since the Battle of Raofeng Pass, so this matter is urgent." Zhou Yinglong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that an envoy be sent to Donghu immediately to put forward the request of our court. ”
"The cardinal is right, this matter is done quickly. The emperor recommended the Tiezui imperial envoy Zhongcheng Li Zhixiao to envoy Hu. Li Zhongcheng can speak well and speak loudly, and his voice is as loud as a bell, and the knowledgeable Li Zhongcheng has studied Hu Shi Hu people, and it can be said that he knows Hu very deeply, so that Hu Dingda can raise the prestige of our country. Shi Liyuan also seconded Zhou Yinglong, but he rushed to recommend his own people as envoys.
If you go to this kind of thing, as long as it is done, you will be rewarded when you come back, and you will be promoted and raised. The key is that you can control the risk by your own people. Therefore, Shi Liyuan hurriedly grabbed this errand.
Long Guangning was just about to nod his head and play, but the old handsome Bi Jiyu spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the suggestions of the prime minister and the ministers are very necessary and appropriate. However, Donghu is used to being arrogant, and he thinks that his strength is still the same as in the past, if there is no other action to cooperate, just send an envoy to make a request, the thief may not give in. Bi Jiyu paused for a moment and said, "So, Lao Chen suggested that at the same time, make Hu and Meng." And, make military preparatory moves. ”
