Chapter 366: The Book of Music
The prince stepped into the hall with one foot, and before the other foot crossed the threshold, he heard a porcelain bowl fall on the gold brick, slamming and shattering, and the decoction "banged" and splashed out.
The sound of kneeling on the ground was so loud that the prince could even hear the "rustling" of the luxurious clothes on the queen's body, which resounded throughout the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor was breathless and angry: "Wolf heart and dog lungs! One by one...... Eat with my bowl...... If you get this situation, I have to clean it up!"
The broken porcelain pieces bumped into each other in whose hands, and the medicinal gas was permeated, and the queen persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important, and it hurts your body."
The crown prince did not stop, walked into the hall quickly, and five steps away from the imperial couch, then knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is late, please punish Your Majesty."
He quietly raised his eyes, with the afterglow to check the situation in the palace, only to see the queen personally picked up the broken porcelain pieces, put them in the slag bucket, the palace attendants knelt all over the ground, the emperor was half sitting and half lying on the couch, his face was blue, the black shadows under his eyes were heavy, his lips were purple, and his chest rose and fell sharply.
There must be a big event in Kuanzhou!
I don't know if the charcoal fire in the hall is too strong, too suffocating, or the heart is panicked, the prince's palms are wet with sweat, and the soap-colored corners and forehead are also soaked a little bit.
The emperor glanced at him coldly and waved to the empress: "Get out."
The queen didn't look at the prince, the blessed body retired, and the palace servants in the palace came out one after another, leaving only a few people who were still serving in the palace.
Zhang Xianfeng hurriedly stepped forward, rubbed his heart for the emperor, and asked the attendant to wipe off the ground medicine and send the medicine again.
The prince knelt on the ground, cleaned up on the ground, the emperor gradually calmed down, and did not call up, the chamberlain sent the second bowl of medicine, Zhang Xianfeng was about to reach out to pick it up, the prince kneeled forward, held the porcelain bowl, picked up the spoon, and personally fed it to the emperor's mouth.
The emperor drank the medicine with his hand, and did not accept his filial piety, sat up with a sneer, grabbed a handful of music books from the small table next to the couch, and threw it in his face: "Now you are satisfied!"
More than a dozen letters were pumped on the prince's face, and half of the prince's face turned red, and he didn't care about the hot pain, so he hurriedly went to see the music that fell on the ground.
Picking up one, he looked down and saw that it was presented by Li Qing, the prefect of Kuanzhou, on the ninth day of October.
Looking at the book again, there are only a few words, but it is shocking.
"On the seventh night of the first month of October, the Zhizhou Mansion caught fire, Tan Xuan drowned in the water, the King of Wei fell into the Mo Mansion, there was a messenger, Mo Qianlan killed him to set an example, and seized the opportunity of the peace talks, set the peace talks on October 15, the minister did not know his plan, and sent Cao Guan to Shuozhou to send this book, please make a decision."
The book trembled in the hands of the prince, the prince was speechless, put down the book, and took another letter, the content was similar to Li Qing's book, but there was no stamp on the hand, the handwriting of the sealed letter, it was written by Wu Hongzhe, when it was opened and looked at, it was written by Hou Fu, the transit envoy of Kuanzhou, and it was also written on the ninth day of October.
He remembered that Mrs. Hou Fuzhong and Mrs. Wu Hongzhe belonged to their own family, and this letter, like Li Qing's recital, avoided the Kuanzhou delivery shop.
The prince looked at it again, and it was the same, and when he looked at it again, it was still the same.
Mo Qianlan imprisoned the King of Wei, actually controlled Kuanzhou, and manipulated the peace talks!
It has been more than 10 days since the time of the recital, and the peace talks have passed on the 15th.
These recitals should have been delivered one after another in the past two days, and none of them were Kuanzhou Express, what kind of news made the emperor vomit blood?
And who broke through the siege and sent a courier from Kuanzhou?
The prince was full of suspicion, picked up the scattered recital, held it high above his head, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not on good terms with the second child, he is also a brother and brother, and he will never get carried away because of the second child's suffering.
When the emperor motioned for Zhang Xianfeng to take away the chaotic recitals, the crown prince raised his head and faced the emperor: "Your Majesty! The minister dared to ask, what is the situation in Kuanzhou?"
The Emperor stared at him, and after a moment took out the Today's Express from his sleeve and threw it into the prince's arms.
This urgent letter carried the emperor's body temperature, the prince held it in his hand, felt slightly disgusted, opened it without changing his face, and still wrote it in the book Hou Fu, only looked at two or three lines, he was dumbfounded, and continued to look down, and he was even more short of breath.
「...... The king of Wei, the ministers, the prefect Li Qing, and the traitor Mo Qianlan entered the fortress on the 15th to negotiate peace, and the Jinyu Suo Gaoping Village was the boundary, and the ministers wanted Sanchuan Village, and the Jin prince said that Mojia Town was wide and returned to Sanchuan Village, and the King of Wei agreed, and the Wei King's guards suddenly came out and killed Mo Thief and the Jin Prince, and the Jin Yu slaughtered outside the village."
After reading it, the prince was speechless.
He is an insider, and after a little thought, he will know the cause and effect - Mo Qianlan used the wealth of ten continents to lure Jin Yu and Huang Yiren into the urn to seek Kuanzhou for Mo Lingfeng.
It is more likely that it is the world that seeks - although it is not opposed, it is no different from the opposite.
He thought that Mo Qianlan was really ghostly, even if he died, he could make the country in the shadows.
His kneeling legs were numb, and he handed the Hou Fu Zhonglu to Zhang Xian: "Your Majesty, the Mo family's unsubdued heart is clearly revealed, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to encircle and suppress Kuanzhou and save the King of Wei from fire and water!"
The emperor had another bloody breath in his throat, closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time, and slowly exhaled this evil breath.
"You have been in charge of the country for a long time, and you know the situation in the DPRK and China, how can you encircle and suppress it?"
The prince pondered for a moment: "A hundred garrisons are not as good as ten strong soldiers, ten strong soldiers are not as good as one elite soldier, if you select strong men and elite soldiers from the garrisons of various states, you don't need to be ten times as wide as Kuanzhou, you can also do things, the household department has ninety percent of the prefectures and counties last month, this year's locust plague has been greatly alleviated, and the expenses of the clan Lu rice have been reduced, such as subtracting the floating fee......
The Emperor interrupted him, "Who's going to subtract the float?"
The prince was stunned for a moment.
The wide range of floating expenses is well known to civil and military officials.
The Privy Council has a total of 702,000 in the 29th year of the Yuan Chapter, and the forbidden army has 193,000 horses, less than half of which can go to the battlefield, and the salary of useless soldiers is a floating fee.
Soldiers should not be moved lightly, and this floating fee cannot be avoided.
This is one of them.
The second sect, Wu Jin quickly cut through the mess, and has already cut off the floating expenses of the clan.
Third, there is no definite number of officials, and the indiscriminate grace and shadow and miscellaneous currents are not as many as in this dynasty.
There are also officials in the court and the central government who have written redundant officials, but no one can break their heads like Wu Jin, and if the emperor himself cuts officials, it will greatly frustrate the enterprising spirit of the world's scholars.
The emperor originally planned to borrow Wu Jin's hand, point the sword at the clan, and then use the wealth of the ten continents to fill the floating expenses of officials and soldiers, but now the plan has been lost, and the floating expenses of officials and soldiers are not moved, which is the government of the world in a faint and declining world.
If there is a large court, there is no one to use.
The prince recalled the recital he had just read, and after thinking about it, he looked disappointed.
In so many recitals, there is no Wu Jin.
Wu Jin was able to die in the court, and such a major event happened in Kuanzhou, but he did not enter Beijing with a word, which shows that his heart has changed.
Such a situation is both frightening and frightening.
