Chapter 166: Emperor Jianzhang is angry
"How does Aiqing think it should be strictly investigated?" The corners of Emperor Jianzhang's mouth had an arc without any smile.
Zhao Lijian didn't notice Emperor Jianzhang's expression, and replied loudly, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should send a Qin messenger to the north to investigate in detail, and at the same time, he should recall Yan Qifeng to the capital and let him report himself." β
"Okay, good, Aiqing said it well." Emperor Jianzhang laughed twice.
Hearing Emperor Jianzhang laughing, Zhao Lijian couldn't help but relax for two points, but unfortunately Emperor Jianzhang just laughed twice and then stopped abruptly, and his sharp eyes looked directly at Zhao Lijian.
"Da Zheng is about to start a war with the Huns, at this time, Aiqing asked me to summon Yan Qifeng back, do you want to go to the expedition for him behind his back?"
Hearing Emperor Jianzhang say this, Zhao Lijian panicked, "Your Majesty, minister, where can the minister lead the troops, the minister doesn't know how to lead the army." β
"I don't know how to lead soldiers, how can I see what you understand, the trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle is not very good." Emperor Jianzhang's words frightened Zhao Lijian and hurriedly knelt down to confess.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
Emperor Jianzhang stood up from the dragon chair with a cold face, "Are you guilty?" Indeed, you are guilty, guilty of treason! β
"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister's heart for the great sign can be seen by the sun and the moon, the heaven and the earth can be expressed, the minister is all for the good of General Yan, and now rumors are spreading outside, and it is the reputation of General Yan and the Yan family army that is ruinedββ"
Emperor Jianzhang ignored Zhao Lijian's cry of grievances, his gaze swept over the silent ministers below like a sharp sword.
"I know that each of you has your own little abacus in your heart, looking at the bottom line that wants to test me, today I repeat again, it is imperative to go to the Huns, no matter who dares to obstruct it in any form, it will be punished with treason!
Scatter the dynasty! β
After Emperor Jianzhang finished speaking with a gloomy face, he waved his sleeves and turned around and left, and the prince on the side looked at Zhao Lijian, who was kneeling tremblingly, with sarcastic eyes, looking like a smart person's stupidity, but it was just a chess piece that was pushed out.
Although Emperor Jianzhang left, the prince did not leave, and the ministers of the court naturally could not leave, the prince swept them over, and said to them in a good mood, "There is a happy event to tell you." β
The ministers were still exchanging glances below, and when they heard the prince's words, they all looked at him in unison.
"The amount of money obtained after the Dingguo Mansion raided the house is huge, and now there is no need to wait for the autumn harvest to start a war against the Xiongnu, His Majesty began to prepare to escort grain and grass materials to the north, and the war against the Xiongnu will be launched in the near future.
Are the ministers happy? β
After the prince finished speaking, he didn't say anything about others, at least Song Yuandao and Hubu Shangshu's faces were green, and the prince naturally saw it, but he didn't care.
Song Yuandao, the old man, knew that he relied on his seniority to rely on the old and sell the old, as for the Hubu Shangshu, he regarded the Hubu as his own money bag, and the money was only in and out.
"That's it, let's disperse." After the prince finished speaking, he gave a glance in the direction of Li Su and left, and no one noticed this small action except Li Su.
After the prince left, Zhao Lijian, who had been insisting on kneeling in place, felt like his strength had been taken away, and the whole person sat on the floor weakly.
Because of the fact that the wall has ears, the ministers did not directly discuss what had just happened in the main hall, and even walked out with their heads bowed silently.
At today's court meeting, Emperor Jianzhang's sudden anger obviously suppressed them, coupled with the words of the prince later, they all understood that the matter of sending troops to the Xiongnu was imperative, and no matter how much they stopped it, it was just a mantis arm as a car.
On the way out of the palace, the ministers did not even go together, but went their separate ways.
Some people are happy, some people are sad, Song Yuandao's expression has always been bad, the rumors about Yan Qifeng were spread by him to the subordinates in the mansion, the purpose is to make His Majesty wary of Yan Qifeng's wolf ambitions, he doesn't believe in Hu Bisheng's affairs Yan Qifeng didn't know anything from beginning to end, it was his cronies!
But what he didn't expect was that His Majesty didn't believe that Yan Qifeng had two hearts at all, not only did he rest assured that he would hand over the northern land to him, but he also had to give him grain and grass to let him send troops to the Huns.
Out of the palace, Zhao Lijian followed behind Song Yuandao with his legs fluttering, and after walking to the carriage, Song Yuandao noticed that someone was following him behind him, and frowned.
After seeing who it was, his face was not very good-looking, and he, a guy who had more than enough to do, was embarrassed to come to him.
"Lord Song, the lower official ......" Seeing that Song Yuandao had discovered him, Zhao Lijian greeted him with a flattering face.
Song Yuandao retracted his gaze and ignored him, the coachman put the car stool, Song Yuandao raised his foot and was about to go up, Zhao Lijian stepped forward and raised his hand to help him.
"Lord Zhao, what are you doing?" Song Yuandao dodged his hand and said.
"Lord Song has tormented the lower officials, and the lower officials just want to help you get into the carriage." Zhao Lijian said with a smile, looking around as he spoke, and seeing that no one nearby approached Song Yuandao, he said with a bitter face, "Lord Song rescued the lower officials, and the lower officials did what you ordered." β
"Silence." Song Yuandao reprimanded, then looked around cautiously, and was relieved to see that no one noticed here.
"Get in the car and say." Song Yuandao was afraid that the two of them would stay here for too long and attract the attention of others, so he let him get into the carriage.
"Hey." Zhao Lijian responded.
In the carriage, Zhao Lijian said with a bitter face, "Lord Song, you must save me." β
"I save you? What's wrong with you and need me to save you? "If it weren't for the fear that he would go out and talk nonsense, Song Yuandao wouldn't want to deal with him at all, and if the matter didn't work out, he would be a blind one.
"Lord Song, I said according to what you taught, Your Majesty must be very dissatisfied with the lower officials for sending such a big fire at the court meeting just now."
"Since Your Majesty didn't say anything, you should treat it as if nothing happened, and don't scare yourself." Despite this, Song Yuandao couldn't push him away immediately, so he wanted to appease him first.
Zhao Lijian was not a smart person in the first place, and the reason why he was able to sit in the position of Dali Siqing was not only by his father-in-law, but also because of a choice after many trade-offs, so Song Yuandao just said a few words casually, and he believed it.
"Thank you Lord Song for your advice, Xia Guan understands." Zhao Lijian nodded seriously.
He looked at Song Yuandao like this, what did he understand?
β¦β¦
Yan Ming, who was originally nervous, finally relieved his heart after learning what happened at the court meeting.
After the court meeting, the rumors about Yan Qifeng in the capital gradually disappeared, after all, Emperor Jianzhang had already said in the court that anyone who blocked the expedition against the Xiongnu would be treated as treason, and who would dare to commit a crime against the wind.
