Chapter 145: Chaos (1)

This twist and turn, like a boulder falling heavily, made the already unpeaceful court more and more turbulent.

Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, Wu Anbo, and Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Works, also played a recital, asking the Son of Heaven to strictly investigate the real culprit behind the rumors.

The Zhou family, the Zhu family, and the Zhao family are all in-laws of the Beihai Palace, and it is natural for the Beihai Wangfu to be unhappy.

But the ghost saw Meng Xizhi, and it was quite surprising to shoot so angrily.

There are a total of seven imperial historians in the Imperial History Terrace, two of whom have a good relationship with Meng Xizhi. Seeing the twists and turns in the history of Meng Yushi, these two imperial histories opened their mouths together to support.

In addition, Zhou Shangshu, Wu Anbo, and Zhao Shilang's colleagues also opened their mouths. In this way, the momentum is really not small.

Feng Chuan, the seventy-year-old Duke of Dingguo, is the first military general, and he is also the closest to the dragon chair. In this troubled water, Dingguo Gong obviously has no intention of mixing.

Standing in the second place of the generals is the loyal and brave Hou Gao Peng. Gao Peng is tall and strong, with a short beard, and he looks like a rough martial artist.

Murong Yao, the general of the Praetorian Guard, stood behind the Marquis of Zhongyong. General Murong was originally unsmiling, but he was in a bad mood today and kept silent.

Emperor Yongming, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help frowning when he heard his heart being impetuous.

As the Son of Heaven, he should not move, not show likes and dislikes, and be elusive...... That being said, people are not plants and trees, how can they do it?

In the months since Emperor Yongming ascended the throne, he has tried his best to be deep and majestic, and he has learned to drive Emperor Yongxing to the west everywhere. It's a pity that a person's temperament and temper are doomed, and they can't change it if they want to, and they can't learn it if they want to. The officials obviously didn't have much reverence for Emperor Yongming.

In the Jinluan Palace, every word you say to me, the voice is getting louder and louder.

"Shut up!" Emperor Yongming couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Where should you be here, such a noisy and noisy scene, have you put me in your eyes!" ”

A group of courtiers immediately stood solemnly and confessed: "Please calm the emperor's anger." ”

Emperor Yongming was too fat, and he had to rely on the support of the inner attendant when he walked, and this anger, the fat on his face trembled, his chest rose and fell, and his breath was short. It's worrying, and the next moment I can't breathe.

"Ji Shangshu," Emperor Yongming pointed at the name of the criminal department Shangshu: "It's been five days, what has the criminal department found out?" ”

Ji Shangshu, who had an unfortunate face, had to take two steps forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department sent all the manpower to investigate the assassination case within a radius of ten miles. The two families ambushed by the assassins, more than 30 people in all, were put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and they were interrogated repeatedly......"

"Long-winded!" Emperor Yongming listened impatiently: "I don't want to hear this, I only ask you, what clues has the Criminal Department found?" Have you found the real culprit behind the scenes? ”

Ji Shangshu knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The minister is incompetent, and he has repeatedly examined the three corpses, but he can't find any useful clues." The black-clad assassins seemed to have fallen from the sky and disappeared after fleeing. ”

Emperor Yongming angrily opened his mouth and angrily scolded Ji Shangshu for being a wine bag and a rice bag, and a corpse for a vegetarian meal.

Ji Shangshu was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head, and blindly bowed his head to confess.

Emperor Yongming lost his temper and ordered Ji Shangshu to investigate the case quickly.

Meng Yushi's temper was stinky and hard, and seeing that Emperor Yongming blindly avoided the serious, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this assassination case and the person who released the rumors must be the same person." Perhaps, this person is in the middle of the court, deliberately instigating discord and forcing the king of Beihai to rebel, and his heart can be punished. Please ask the emperor to decree and strictly investigate to the end. ”

Emperor Yongming: "......"

Emperor Yongming glared angrily at Meng Yushi, who was disgusted by many mouths.

Meng Yushi was fearless, straightened his waist, and spoke loudly: "The minister is not speaking for the king of Beihai, and he is definitely not biased towards the vassal king. The ministers only hope that the court will be stable and the people will be peaceful. ”

"The Great Jin Dynasty has suffered disasters one after another, thousands of people have been displaced, they have no food and clothing, they are starving, and the people are in turmoil. At this time, it is not advisable to start another war. Woe to Xiao Wall, the minister implored the emperor to think twice. ”

Meng Yushi's words unveiled the fig leaf of whitewashing peace since the new emperor ascended the throne. almost pointed at Emperor Yongming's nose and scolded the new emperor for doing nothing.

The green tendons on Emperor Yongming's forehead beat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the imperial historian repeatedly rushed at Meng Yushi's eyes.

Don't say it, if you keep talking, the emperor will be angry.

Since Beihai County returned to Beijing, what he saw and heard along the way was really miserable. repeatedly asked the emperor to help the people, but there was no response, and the twists and turns were like a stone sinking into the sea. Meng Yushi had already held back his anger, and today he opened the chatterbox, where could Meng Yushi still hold back, so he simply vomited.

"As an imperial historian, it is the duty of the minister to be loyal and straightforward." Meng Yushi was not afraid, and said impassionedly: "The minister asks the emperor to open his eyes and take a look at the suffering people of the Great Jin Dynasty." ”

"Bastard!" Emperor Yongming couldn't sit still, got up suddenly, stretched out his hand to point at Meng Yushi, and scolded angrily: "In your eyes, am I a faint king who only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't care about the life and death of the people?" ”

Isn't it?

Some conscientious officials secretly slandered in their hearts.

More than ten counties went to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to provide tax exemption and disaster relief. Emperor Yongming turned a deaf ear and ignored it. only urged the Ministry of Household to allocate money and ordered the Ministry of Industry to build the Imperial Mausoleum. The salaries of the soldiers stationed in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty were deducted by thirty percent, and they were often in arrears, and the silver was moved to repair the emperor's mausoleum.

Of course, these can't all be blamed on Emperor Yongming, it was like this during the reign of the first emperor. However, the first emperor had a powerful wrist and could suppress the courtiers. At least there was no chaos in the court.

Emperor Yongming obviously didn't have such the ability and means.

Meng Yushi opened his mouth, and some other officials couldn't hold it back, and they spoke one after another, asking the emperor to decree disaster relief.

In the end, the early dynasty ended with Emperor Yongming leaving in a rage.

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Meng Yushi and the other two upright and outspoken imperial histories walked together. There were also a few young and enthusiastic officials who also automatically followed.

Seeing this battle, Doctor Yushi had a great headache, turned his head to Zhou Shangshu and sighed: "The emperor is very unhappy when he makes such a fuss today. I'm afraid that it won't stop in the future. ”

Zhou Shangshu glanced at Doctor Yushi and said lightly: "Meng Yushi is a radical person, but he is a heart for the country and the people. ”

In the final analysis, civil officials still have some conscience. Sending performances from all over the country into Beijing, the Great Jin Dynasty is in turmoil, how can you not worry as a courtier?

Doctor Yushi also sighed casually, in fact, he also felt from the bottom of his heart that Meng Yushi was drinking well today. But it would be good if the Son of Heaven could divert some of his pleasures to alms and pacify the people.

General Murong walked out of the Jinluan Hall with an expressionless face.

As a general of the Praetorian Guard, Murong Yao stayed in the palace longer than at home.

He entered the duty room and ordered: "Go and give the order, let Captain Murong come over after a business." ”

Half an hour later, Murong Shen came in after the shift change: "Father called me here, what's the matter?" ”

Murong Yao's eyes were cold: "Kneel down!" ”
