Chapter 33: Self-satisfaction

Hearing Li Sheng's attack mention Mu Jing, he couldn't help but show his face, "It's not just a character portrait, but this experience is also somewhat similar." It's just that Xiangcheng Hou is not as lucky as Dingning Hou to meet such a Bole as you. ”

Li Shengxi was noncommittal, but looked south, thinking about his homeland.

Gu Lingxu and Rong Zhi's fight was stopped by Jin Wuwei, who came in a hurry. Rong Zhi was defeated by Gu Lingxu, and his jade-like face was unexpectedly colored. Although Gu Lingxu is stronger than Rong Zhi's martial arts, his injuries are not yet complete, and the old injuries in this fight are recurring, and they are not much better.

Zhou Shutao looked at the two of them, especially when he saw Rong Zhi, his face was not good, "Who is making trouble here?" ”

"General Zhonglang, this is not a question of whether to make trouble or not, this person beat the court officials, why don't you escort the person to Dali Temple immediately?" The half-beaten eunuch came out of nowhere.

Zhou Shutao didn't look at him for half an eye, who knew that the next moment Gu Lingxu actually sent another kick towards the eunuch's heart.

The eunuch covered his heart, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

At this moment, even Zhou Shutao couldn't help but look at Gu Lingxu, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, you dare to beat people in front of the general, do you still have the law of the country in your eyes?" ”

"This person is walking on the street, and even trampled on an old man, this is called the real disregard for the law of the country, Ben Hou, but for the heavens." Gu Ling raised his head, even if the old injuries on his body recurred, he would not change his arrogance.

Rong Zhi on the side, when he heard Gu Lingxu's self-proclaim, his eyebrows jumped fiercely.

"Who are you?" Zhou Shutao was also vigilant.

Gu Lingxu slowly took out a waist card, still arrogant, "Take Ben Hou to face the saint." ”

The matter of Xiangcheng Marquis entering Beijing spread throughout the Wangjing noble circle in one day, and everyone was very curious about what the meaning of this military marquis, who had not been controlled by the imperial court for many years, entered the palace at this time.

In the Taiji Palace, Emperor Yuan Jia looked at several important ministers in front of him with an unkind face.

Guan Zhi was the first to speak, "Holy Lord, it is disrespectful for the Marquis of Xiangcheng to enter Beijing without an edict." Beating people on the street, he is still an official of the imperial court, and he is even more arrogant. If it is not severely punished, where is the majesty of the country? ”

He didn't expect Gu Lingxu to be so careless and dare to beat people on the street. It's okay for Rong Zhi to practice martial arts since he was a child, but the little eunuch was beaten by him like this, and he was heartbroken, and he was afraid that his life would not be successful. He wasn't worried about the little eunuch, but Gu Lingxu was clearly slapping him in the face.

Moreover, if he and the Zhou family are incompatible, then he and Gu Lingxu will never die. Even if Gu Lingxu was not the one who beat him, he would still attack Gu Lingxu.

The Zhou family had the intention to win over Gu Lingxu, and Zhou Shizhong and Guan Zhi did not deal with it, so he raised his eyelids, "Holy Lord, this matter has been sent by Weichen to investigate, this matter is that the eunuch despised the law of the country in the front, and disregarded human life in the back, and it was really a righteous act for the Marquis of Xiangcheng to make a move." Put it in Beijing without permission - Marquis Xiangcheng is now outside the palace, it is better to see him first and listen to him discerning. ”

Meng Songyan also spoke: "Holy Lord, the Marquis of Xiangcheng is a fortress of Xichang and an important minister of the country. Moreover, the Marquis of Xiangcheng had already written at the beginning of the month, saying that he would make a pilgrimage to the saint after the national funeral. Now that the national mourning has passed, it is not surprising that the Marquis of Xiangcheng came to make the pilgrimage. Maybe it's because there's an emergency, it's not necessarily disrespectful. Now that the national mourning has passed, and the DPRK and China are in ruins, it is the time to employ people. ”

"Taifu's words are wrong." Guan Zhi hurriedly retorted, his tone was not good, "Marquis Xiangcheng has not been controlled by the imperial court for many years. I have to prevent it, if there is a slight negligence, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Zhou Fa said coldly: "Marquis Xiangcheng entered the palace alone, how could it be insincere. Even so, when the poor dagger sees it, the palace guards will take down the rebellious ministers and thieves! ”

"The waiter said that he was poor and dagger, and compared Xiangchenghou to Jing Ke, is it to compare the saint to the tyrannical Qin?" Guan Zhi is the best at exploiting the loopholes in his words, and before he could wait for Zhou Fa to refute, he continued: "What's more, Xiangcheng Hou has always hated Xirong, and over the years, Xirong merchants have not been able to enter Xichang one step. Now that the Northern Qi and Xirong are negotiating, if the Holy Lord receives the Marquis of Xiangcheng at this moment, where will the Xirong envoys be? ”

When Zhou Fa heard this, he suppressed the anger in his eyes, "The supervisor is wrong. The Son of Heaven receives the ministers, what does it have to do with Di Yi? Moreover, because of the trade affairs, the people of Xirong have shown signs of dominance, and the Holy Lord received the Marquis of Xiangcheng, which was not only a favor to the Marquis of Xiangcheng, but also a knock on Xirong. ”

Because of Xirong's matter, although Guan Zhi had already come to criticize him before, he was almost untouched, and there was even a trend, if no one was restrained and beaten, it would be too proud.

Emperor Yuan Jia listened to the quarrel between the two people, and his heart was irritable, but the reason that still had told him that this was not the time to be angry, he pinched his dragon robe and forced his temper down.

Several people argued, and everyone had their own reasons. Emperor Yuan Jia's heart was biased, but he couldn't resist the pressure of Zhou Fa and Meng Songyan alone. In the end, I had to say, "Rong Zhen thinks about it." So he sent the three away.

Soon after the courtiers sent away, the queen arrived from the Qingning Palace, and after the queen saluted, Emperor Yuan Jia complained, "The Taifu and the servant are both determined to let me see the Marquis of Xiangcheng." However, the Marquis of Xiangcheng has been dissatisfied with the imperial court for many years, and now he has entered Beijing privately, and after entering Beijing, he has acted arrogantly. Even if I met him, what would I do? Should it be punished, or should it be spared? If so, what is the use of seeing him? If you let it go, how will the face of the country and the dynasty remain? ”

Jiang Muyi lowered her eyes, she gently pinched Emperor Yuanjia's shoulder, and said gently: "Holy Lord, Marquis Xiangcheng has not been controlled by the imperial court for many years, and the first emperor is not obedient when he is alive. As soon as the Holy Buddha ascended the throne, he showed respect, and now he is willing to enter Beijing for the Hajj, thinking that he is deeply moved by the Holy Virtue. The saint let him go, showing the benevolence of the saint, how could he hurt the face of the country. ”

Jiang Muyi knows Emperor Yuan Jia best, and he knows what he can listen to.

Sure enough, when Emperor Yuan Jia heard this, his face turned slightly pale.

Jiang Muyi lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes, "How difficult it was for the imperial court before, but now it is gradually becoming peaceful, and the supervisor has earned another five million yuan in taxes, which is a great concern for the court." It is better for the saint to take this opportunity to implement benevolent government and exempt the southwestern states such as Yuanzhou and Wanzhou from paying taxes, including Xichang, of course. At that time, the Holy Lord will meet Xiangcheng Hou again, whether it is a reward or a punishment, Xiangcheng Hou will only be convinced, and the people of the world will only feel that the Holy One is holy. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia patted Jiang Muyi's hand and couldn't help laughing: "You, you don't know the government." earned five million yuan, even though it gave the imperial court a chance to breathe, but the southwest was exempted from taxes, and I was afraid that I would not be able to make ends meet. It's just that you have provided me with an idea, and it is possible to subtract some of it. ”

Jiang Muyi saw that he was quite complacent, lowered his eyes, and said more and more submissively and humbly: "Holy Shengming, that ...... Xiangcheng Marquis, do you see the saint or not? ”

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded, "The matter has come to this, and you can see it if you don't see it." ”
