Chapter 114: Mutual Deception and Relaxation of Prohibition (2)
"Lianghou, don't you see it that way?"
Zeng Liang suddenly turned his head to ask, which frightened the Hunan people for a moment, he faced the eyes that moved one after another, grabbed the corner of the table tightly, and stammered a little in reply: "I, I think we still have to wait for Lord Chen to come back...... It's better. If you really can't wait, you can send someone to ask for instructions. ”
Zeng Liang's face sank, and he tapped his fingers on the table: "Lianghou, you don't know, the situation is critical now, and you can't delay for a moment!" Besides, even if Lord Chen is here, he won't tolerate King Yi entering the palace, right? ”
Guo Xiang couldn't get angry, so he had to smile awkwardly: "Guo is stupid, not as clear as Zeng Shangshu." But the officials are under the control of Lord Chen, and the people under him may not obey orders. Although he can use the orders of Zhongshu Province to forcibly obtain it, his colleagues are out of harmony, which is against the hard work of Su Gong. ”
"Who said it was going to be taken by force?" Zeng Liang laughed twice, "It's still a matter of discussion." Isn't Lianghou very close to Lord Chen? You go and persuade a few words, I don't believe they don't nod. ”
Su Zongshan saw that everyone was furious, and he was afraid of arousing resentment, so he also came to persuade: "Adult, you can help." ”
Guoxiang people glanced around, sighed depressedly, said "don't dare" twice, and went to the ministry with Zeng Liang and others to thank him.
The officials are all henchmen of the Chen Party, and when they saw the Hunan people, the 'second-in-command', coming, how could they dare to break his face, and without saying much, they sent the documents to them. One of the booksellers smiled and asked, "My lord, are we doing well?" When Lord Chen comes back, you can give me kind words......"
Who knew that after the Hunan people finished reading it, they glared at him viciously: "What's so difficult about running errands?" It's hard to get your mind moving! ”
As the night wore on, the inner chamber of the dormitory was still brightly lit. The emperor sat on a chair by the window, draped in a robe, and stared at the Nanmu chessboard on the table, his gaze lingering for a long time.
"The minion lost." The eunuch on the opposite side put down the chess pieces in his hand and bowed down to say.
"You people, you are really playing just right," the emperor waved his hand and put away the chessboard, "I guess playing chess with me also feels tortured in my heart." ”
The little eunuch's face turned pale, and he replied respectfully: "How can a slave have such a mind. The emperor used to play chess alone, and in the past few years, he has been willing to call his servants to play against him, and he has been very powerful, so what else can he ask for. ”
"Yes," the emperor suddenly sighed when he heard this, "because the willow thief was in power back then, I acted mostly in solitude. It's a pity that except for the national thief, I am old, and I can't think about the way to go, and there is always something I can't take care of every step. ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a soft knock on the door, and a eunuch broke into the room and bowed to the emperor in a panic: "Your Majesty, many adults have gathered outside the door of the main hall, making a noise, saying that they want to report the emergency to the Holy Shrine. ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fu Zhen to the main hall to discuss matters, and let all the civil and military forces come in." ”
"Your Majesty!"
Zeng Liang held the impeachment document and slowly knelt down in front of the palace steps, looking heartbroken: "King Yi is doing this, isn't it just to support the Ye Party?" Our courtiers have discussed it, and Su Gong's obstruction of the Ministry of Industry is nothing, but he wants to force the king with his ministers and bring people to come to make trouble, what kind of system is this! The Ye Party has become arrogant to this point, and the ministers can no longer bear it for the sake of the country's righteousness, so they implore Ye Yongjia to be removed from all official positions to purge the government and the opposition. ”
As he spoke, he held up the paperwork: "This is an impeachment note drawn up by the Ministry of Officials and signed by our officials. The impeachment of Ye Yongjia for the crimes of forming a party for personal gain and forging alliances with the clan is clearly proven. ”
After hearing this, the ministers all stood solemnly, waiting for the emperor's reply. But the strange thing is that the hall was silent for a while, and there were a few sneers from the emperor: "A son came to see his father, and he made such a big incident...... I can't see him yet? ”
Zeng Liang frowned slightly, and replied stubbornly: "King Yi, as a vassal king, colluded with the Ye Dang and clearly had bad intentions, why should Your Majesty remember the relationship between father and son again?" His Majesty Xu Chen and others said in the recital, and stopped the construction of the West Garden. ”
"Did you say enough?" The Emperor asked coldly.
"That's it...... That's it. ”
"Bring me the recital."
Zeng Liang trembled and presented the paperwork, raised his eyes, and saw that the emperor stretched out his hand from the curtain and took it.
"A bunch of bastards!"
There was a 'snap' from behind the curtain, and the emperor threw the song away, bursting out with a thunderous roar, and the ministers were stunned and stared blankly at the scattered papers.
"It's the seal of the ministry again, and it's co-branded, it's so magnificent! Do you think I have no temper when you coerce me by such unscrupulous means? It seems that I am still in the way, so it is better to let the crown prince ascend the throne. ”
"The ministers dare not ......"
"Who is the leader among you?" The Emperor asked again.
Zeng Liang wiped the sweat that fell on his face and said, "It's Lord Chen." ”
"It's in vain that I trust him so much!" The emperor said sharply, "Quickly send someone to pass on the comrades Chen, I will personally inquire about it!" As for King Yi, don't stop him anymore, let him come to see me too. ”
As time passed, King Yi's mood grew apprehensive, and he walked back and forth in front of the gate, holding on to the bridle of his horse. But suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door, and the door was slowly opened, and an officer came out of it, clasping his fists and saluting him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go to the dormitory to answer." ”
King Yi reined in his horse, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Liu Chenzhai and said, "Sir's previous worries were really too much. ”
King Yi was guided by several eunuchs, strode into the hall, and saw the ministers kneeling beside him, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and hurriedly bowed: "The son is late, please ask my father for forgiveness!" ”
The emperor's tone became softer: "Many people can't get used to you, this is their deliberate obstruction, it has nothing to do with you, how can I cure your crimes?" ”
King Yi pretended not to know and asked, "What the hell ...... What happened? ”
The emperor told the story again, and King Yi was shocked and cried on the ground: "The son is just worried about his father's safety, why is there any bad intention?" Who would have thought of such a situation! Your Majesty, this is clearly dividing the relationship between my father and son, and it should be severely punished! ”
When the emperor heard his cry, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and was about to say words to appease, but he heard the guards outside the palace shouting: "Fellow Chen of the Ministry of Officials has arrived!" He suddenly sank his face and said with a sneer: "This person is finally here...... My son, I am bound to avenge your grievances. ”
While coughing uncontrollably, Chen Tongpao staggered into the hall while holding on to the door panel. He pushed away the support of others, and it took him a long time to walk to the front of the steps, and knelt down heavily: "Minister...... Minister...... Here it comes. ”
"You wrote this letter?" The emperor asked unceremoniously and bluntly.
Comrade Chen was not in a hurry, and replied calmly: "It was written by the minister, but not by the minister." Your Majesty can open it and take a look. ”
