Volume 1 The Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 178 Gambling
The Great Pilgrimage.
The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ranks in the two compartments, and Yuguo Gong Lanyu and Shoufu Zhou Shibo each stand at the forefront of the civil and military officials.
Emperor Yuan Ming on the dragon chair was sluggish, covering his mouth and yawning from time to time.
A civil official told how the people were disturbed by bandits in a certain place, how the defenders in the city were timid and afraid of the war, and how the county magistrate worked tirelessly to give rice porridge all day long, and never closed his eyes for a month.
Taking the opportunity to attack the military generals has long become the consensus of the civilian side.
Zhou Shibo closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't hear it, as if he was wandering outside the world.
Lan Yu couldn't listen anymore, and said angrily:
"The county ordered alms for a month, where does the food come from! Don't tell the old man that there is enough food for the people to eat for a month!"
Since there are mountain bandits, the whole town must have suffered a disaster, if there is an official family to open a warehouse to release grain, it will inevitably attract robbery, even if there is food at home, they will go to rub a bite.
There are free, who still eat their own.
The civil official argued with reason:
"I think it's food from the big families in the town! Assist the government to help the victims! Besides, the number of people in the town is not large, and it is not unusual to eat porridge for a month!"
Someone in the general's team interjected: "A bowl of rice is also called porridge, and it is enough to eat."
This remark caused a group of generals to burst into laughter.
The civil official's face could not be lifted, and he shouted:
"I've been there myself! At least half a bowl is rice and half a bowl is water, and more than 100 people can eat it!"
Lan Yu narrowed her eyes, seized the loophole in the other party's words, and asked:
"More than a hundred people? A small town, no matter how small, has hundreds of households, how come there are only more than 100 people left, and there is not even a living person in a single family?"
"This ......" the civil official's face changed, and he couldn't answer for a moment.
"Say! Where have all the people of the town gone?" Lan Yu stepped forward and asked in a loud voice.
The momentum of the old prince was fought from the battlefield, and the civil official was shocked for a while, and he involuntarily took two steps back, and was even more speechless.
Emperor Yuan Ming yawned, accustomed to the disputes in the main hall, as long as the civil and military disagreement, he was happy to see it.
At this time, a light voice came from the back of the crowd.
"The people of the town have gone to become mountain bandits."
This sentence was like thunder on dry land, not only the civil officials were shocked, but the generals also changed their faces.
Emperor Yuan Ming on the dragon chair looked displeased.
His subjects can starve, they can suffer, they can beg in the streets, they can sell their wives and children, but they cannot rebel and become bandits.
Even if he knew that there was indeed something wrong with that town, no one dared to poke out the truth in front of the emperor.
One by one, they looked behind them, and finally converged on a young man in a python robe, with clear eyebrows and a gentle smile on his face.
"Coldwater! What's wrong with him?"
"Isn't the Marquis of Cold Water imprisoned?"
"It's early, people can't be messed with now, the first person in the Sword Palace."
There was a murmur in the hall.
When Emperor Yuan Ming heard that it was Yun Que, his expression suddenly became gloomy.
In the entire Great Yan Kingdom, if you want to say that the emperor hates the most, it is Yun Que.
The humiliating title of the Hanshui Marquis was changed by him personally.
Lan Yun saw Yun Que and immediately secretly said badly, and complained in his heart about how Yun Que went to court without saying hello.
Seeing the Hanshui Hou, the emperor must be annoyed.
Zhou Shibo's brows moved, he opened his eyes, he was no longer in a fugue state, and he had already begun to think about how to relieve Yun Que in the future.
Hanshui Hou went to court, and he had to cause something if he had nothing to do.
In front of the side of the main hall, the only national teacher who had a seat at the Great Dynasty Meeting also glanced at Yun Que's side expressionlessly.
Seeing that it was Yun Que, he immediately rushed up like a mad dog to ask for the guilt.
"Hanshui Hou Yunque refuses to obey discipline, and the heavens are serious about breaking through! place
Wang Fa ......"
As soon as he said half a sentence, the Yanguan was stunned in place under Yun Que's glance, his eyes were black, and he was so shocked by the cold sword intent that he couldn't speak.
"The minister has something important to do!"
Yun Que said in a loud voice: "The minister sued the national teacher for ignoring people's lives and committing a lot of evil deeds, which is really a heinous crime!"
Yun Que sued the national teacher with one mouth, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shuddered when they heard it.
That's a national teacher!
The big red man in front of the Holy One today!
Every time there is a big court meeting, there is only the share of the national teacher, when does anyone dare to be disrespectful to the national teacher!
Ignoring the gazes of others, Yun Que continued:
"The national teacher relied on the Ethereal Pavilion to have the right to cut first and then play, killed more than 300 members of the King of Qi's family in vain, and seized two copper mines, and this matter is still evidenced."
After saying that, Yun Que waved his hand outside the hall and said, "Bring it in."
A figure rushed into the main hall, knelt down, and said desolately:
"Your Majesty! The courtiers have been wronged!"
As soon as they saw this person, the expressions of many people present changed suddenly.
"Lord Pingyang!"
"King Qing rebelled, and the whole family was ambushed, why didn't she die!"
The ministers were talking.
A month ago, King Qing plotted a rebellion and was killed on the spot by the Ethereal Pavilion, which caused a lot of sensation, among which Yu Guogong was almost implicated, saying that he received a lot of benefits from King Qing.
It is said that the emperor was furious afterwards and cut down many concubines in the harem to vent his anger.
As soon as Emperor Yuan Ming saw the county lord of Pingyang, his expression immediately became uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.
Yun Que always observed the emperor's expression and demeanor.
He is not like other courtiers who dare not look at the king, so Yun Que can almost conclude that the Emperor has long known about the killing of King Qing's family in the Ethereal Pavilion.
For the sake of the Son of Heaven's sword, the emperor on the dragon chair has been denied by his six relatives, and his own brothers can also kill at will.
I knew that Emperor Yuan Ming was a faint monarch, but now that I see it, I am not even as good as a faint monarch, and he is simply a puppet of the national teacher!
The county lord of Pingyang cried and complained about his grievances, and swore that King Qing would have no objection.
Besides, there are only more than 100 guards in the entire Qingwang Mansion, and just such a few people don't believe in the rebels.
Emperor Yuan Ming sometimes twisted his beard, sometimes scratched his eyebrows, and looked restless.
"Your Majesty! The national teacher brutalized the loyal and good, and killed the evil in vain!"
After the Pingyang County Lord finished crying, Yun Que raised his hand to the national teacher and said, "Wei Mocheng, you are guilty!"
The civil and military officials didn't even dare to breathe at this time, and no one dared to involve half a point in this kind of big case of robbing the family and exterminating the clan.
Even those mad dog-like officials are all honest, looking at their noses and noses one by one, and they don't say a word, just like wooden people.
Wei Mocheng gradually grinned and said with a smile:
"Hanshui Hou Mo wants to spew blood, saying that I killed Zhongliang, you have evidence, one county lord is not enough."
"You want proof, okay, Ben Hou will show it to you today!"
Yun Que said to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, the minister sued the national teacher for colluding with the barbarian clan, hiding the barbarian master in the Ethereal Pavilion, and had bad intentions!"
At this time, not only the civil and military officials were stupid, but even the emperor's eyes were a little wary of the countrymen.
The reason for killing King Qing's family was because King Qing occupied the copper mine and did not hand it over, so he had no choice but to make this decision, the purpose was to build the Sword of the Son of Heaven.
But if it is in collusion with the barbarians, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he can't let it go.
Wei Mocheng laughed when he heard this, and said:
"The Marquis of Hanshui is not guilty of epilepsy, how can there be a barbarian female cadre hidden in the Ethereal Pavilion."
"If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, how could Ben Hou go to court to sue you! This person is in the Ethereal Pavilion, and the national teacher will dare me to search for it." Yun Que used the agitation method.
"Good!" Wei Mocheng squinted his eyes and said, "If there is no barbarian woman in the Ethereal Pavilion, what should Master Hou do?"
"At your disposal." Cloud lacks a way.
The two had a bet on the Golden Luan Palace.
With Wei Mocheng nodding in agreement, Yun Que personally led a group of generals to break into the Ethereal Pavilion, and after a search, sure enough
Evidence was recovered from Begonia's storage bag.
The moment he saw the Gu Master Token, Feng Yaojin, who had blocked the Ethereal Pavilion, was finally relieved.
Credit to you!
After verification by many generals, it was determined that the Gu Master Token was a barbarian thing, or a token that could only be owned by the middle and high levels of the barbarians.
Haitang was locked up and personally escorted into the heavenly prison by Feng Yaojin, locked in a cell with a formation seal, waiting for the triage of the three divisions.
Pulling out the barbarian female trunk, Yun Que said:
"The Ethereal Pavilion has become a barbarian stronghold, plotting against each other, what else does the national teacher have to say!"
Everyone's eyes converged on Wei Mocheng.
Especially on the side of the military generals, Lan Yu and others are even gearing up, planning to arrest the national teacher in court.
The Ethereal Pavilion is the Ethereal Pavilion of the National Teacher, and Haitang is the right-hand man of the National Teacher, as soon as the Gu Master token came out, the charge of colluding with the barbarians was firmly on Wei Mocheng's head.
"The minister is guilty."
Wei Mocheng slowly got up, bowed to the emperor, and said:
"In recent years, the minister has concentrated on supervising the construction of the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he has been busy day and night, and he has not noticed it for a while, so that some of his subordinates have come out of the young, please punish Your Majesty."
The national teacher actually confessed his guilt, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, Yun Que's eyes sank.
Lose the car and protect the handsome!
The national teacher's methods are really ruthless enough, and he is as ruthless as his own people, and he abandons the chess piece of Begonia.
