Chapter 283: The Prime Minister is Crazy!
Today's court meeting has already leaked out the news that it is necessary to deal with the loyal king Liu Xi and the Jiangnan Zhen family who are involved in the soldiers hidden by Kong Lin.
Liu Xi went to the palace several times, knelt in front of the gate of Longshou Palace and begged bitterly, but failed to step into the palace gate half a step, so he could only convene the officials under his command overnight to discuss countermeasures.
But the three divisions only interrogated the people of the Yansheng Mansion twice, and the confessions obtained all pointed to the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and several letters mentioned that the Zhen family was hidden for him Liu Chen.
Now that the two saints have avoided the ministers, and even the prince has not come to the Fengtian Temple, how can the ministers not think that this is the reputation of the two saints who are unwilling to bear the reputation of father and son cannibalism and brothers.
The Emperor Taishang may have wanted to protect this son, and he had edicted Wei Qinghe to enter the palace earlier, and the monarch and ministers had agreed on the disposal, at least to save Liu Chen's life.
It's a pity, this guy is so uninteresting, he dared to shout with Wei Qinghe, which completely angered this Taishi Shoufu.
"Where is Soshoji Temple?"
Zong Zhengqing is Liu Chen's uncle Liu Huai, the king of Ji, and he is also "sick" at home today, and Shaoqing Liu Yuan came out and responded: "The lower official is here."
Wei Qinghe did not hesitate, and scanned the ministers in the hall with his sharp eyes, and the ministers did not dare to look at him.
I only heard Lord Shoufu say sharply: "The faithful king Liu Chen, colluding with foreign ministers, has bad intentions, and the evidence is conclusive. Remembering that he has not yet made a great mistake may be spared the death penalty."
"Death is forgivable, but living is unforgivable. Passed on the decree of the cabinet, the rod was punished eighty, the lord was dismissed, demoted to a concubine, the palace was banned, and the Zongzheng Temple sent people to teach its national laws and family rules. All the princes of the faithful royal house shall be removed, and all the servants shall be dismissed except when necessary."
Liu Chen, who was gagged, stared at Wei Qinghe with anger and anger, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
The hall was silent, and everyone was frightened by the seemingly old and frail Shousuke-sama.
Of course, in the early years, Concubine Zhen favored the Sixth Palace, the power of the Zhen family was half of the wall, and Liu Xi surrounded many civil and military officials, even if he was weak now, there would still be no shortage of people who burned his stove.
Several Wenchen stood up to refute Wei Qinghe's disposition, especially a Lang Zhong from the Criminal Department, who spoke eloquently: "Elder Ge, now that the case of the Yansheng Mansion has not yet been tried, is it too hasty to convict His Royal Highness the Faithful King with just a few letters. Besides, although you are in a high position and power, you are not qualified to win the title of Your Highness, which is the power of a saint and His Majesty."
As this person confronted Wei Qinghe, more than a dozen people stood up from the queue, seconded his words, and confronted Wei Qinghe.
The rest of the cabinet ministers did not come out to express their positions, and after seeing the atmosphere stirring up, the officials of Qi Bohan's family came out one after another under the hint of his eyes and began to challenge Wei Qinghe.
Master Jing, who deliberately got up early to go to the court today, watched coldly, and smiled secretly in his heart: This group of people is really dizzy, don't look at Old Man Wei's usual smiles at everyone, do you really think he is a kind person?
There was a reckless man with a sense of justice next to him who was about to stand up to support Lord Shoufu when he was grabbed by Jia Jing.
"Respect Gong, why don't we help?"
This is Niu Jue, the son of the Zhenguo family, who is silly, but he can't watch his family be stupid.
After Jia Jing grabbed it, he shook his head and whispered, "You don't need us, the old man was the prince and master thirty years ago, and he is still the prince and master today. You haven't thought about it, the prince has changed, why didn't the prince change? It's just a prince, and the things in people's hands are enough to replace everyone in the court."
Niu Jue scratched his brain, unable to understand Jia Jing's words. However, Wu Xun, who heard Jia Jing's words beside him, was like an enlightenment, and his mouth suddenly opened.
Hiss!
I almost forgot that he still had the thing in his hand......
"Someone, please whip the king!"
"Whip the king? Why is this still in his hands?"
An old servant walked into the main hall, and almost all of the ministers knew him. There was always such a person beside Shousuke-sama, with a Yanling sword on his waist and a sword box on his back.
I saw this person walking in front of Wei Qinghe with a sword box in both hands, Wei Qinghe slowly opened it, and engraved a dragon pattern with a jade handle and gold mace, which was very majestic.
Wei Qinghe held the whip in his hand and said with emotion: "Back then, the sage drove many times and was worried about the court
There are female cadres who make trouble, deceive the prince of the prison country, and cause chaos to the court. Therefore he gave me the whip to beat the king, the prince at the top, and the slander at the bottom. Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't want to use it today."
Thump......
This time it's really over, my father really gave up on me!
The moment Liu Xi saw the whip of the king, his heart was half cold, and he sat down directly on the ground.
He had seen this thing when he was a child, and the elder brother was in charge of the country, and because he mistakenly believed in the tricks of the lord and faction of the DPRK, he almost cut off the food and grass of the three armies.
On that day, he saw Wei Qinghe, who was then the young master of the crown prince and the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, holding this whip and hanging his eldest brother from a tree for a good beating. Then he summoned the ministers, and killed the two three-rank officials who bewitched the prince.
The three-rank senior member in a purple robe, the ministry ***, was beaten to death in front of the Fengtian Hall like that, and the first assistant of the cabinet at the time couldn't stop Wei Qinghe, who was holding the whip of the king.
Many years have passed, and the ministers only remember the smiling appearance of Old Man Wei, but they have forgotten the bloody scene back then.
How could this old man, who usually smiles at everyone, ascend to the high position of the first assistant of the cabinet only by his knowledge?
If he is ruthless, the first person in the military, the British Duke Zhang Yue, will have to retreat to the side, unwilling to touch the old man's moldy head.
"Where is the Priest?"
Whoa......
Dozens of Han generals poured into the hall at once, and after entering the hall, they knelt on one knee in unison, arching their hands and singing: "Meet the Prime Minister!"
Wei Qinghe's gaze turned to that side, and the civil and military forces over there lowered their heads, for fear that the whip in the old man's hand would hit him.
"Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department, Li Xian, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Li Yuannian, a member of the Ministry of Works, Lang Chengliang, Ying Yangwei, all commanded the envoy Rod, and all commanded Tongzhi Zheng Shifeng, and Bing Ma Si Yang Lu......
Every time a name is pronounced, there is a person whose strands tremble and falter.
Wei Qinghe read out the names of seventeen people in one breath, including the commanders of the second rank and the imperial historian of the seventh grade.
"Take them down and put them in prison for a stern trial!"
"Elder Wei Ge, what is the crime of the last general?"
Rod's identity is not simple, he is not only the commander of the Jingwei capital, but also the nephew of the concubine Luo, and he is a relative of the emperor.
Wei Qinghe only glanced at him, and said coldly, "Where did those armors in Kong Lin come from, you don't know when this pavilion does? Go to the edict and confess, this pavilion is too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
The Han generals worked in pairs to suppress all the civil and military officials who were named, and several of them began to beg for mercy, and one of the imperial historians said that he was only "speaking up", and Daxia was never guilty of his words.
It's a pity that Wei Qinghe didn't even look at him when he came to see him, and flicked his sleeves and asked the palace secretary to gag all these people and throw them into the edict prison.
"The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have carefully tried the people involved in the Kong Lin case. Anyone involved in this case, regardless of the rank of the official, shall be dealt with in accordance with the law and shall not show favoritism."
"Spread the order of this pavilion, order the Dragon Guards Jinling Town Fu Si to raid the Zhen family, and the Zhen family should be escorted into Beijing."
"Abolish the title of Duke of Yansheng, remove the official title of the Duke of Yansheng, and demote him to a commoner. rejected the request of Kong Xiang'an, the priest of the Holy Ancestor, and ordered him to lead the Confucian Temple, Confucius Forest, Confucius Tomb, etc., and give 300 guards to meet the requirements of everything."
"Take back the Yansheng Mansion Mansion, and the Ministry of Rites will send personnel to station. From today onwards, the officials of the Ministry of Rites stationed in Qufu must wholeheartedly assist the priests of the Holy Ancestor to maintain the sacred place of Confucianism, and there must be no mistake."
"All the fields and manors of the original Yan Shenggong Mansion were forcibly seized and returned to their owners. The rest rushed into the public middle school of the household department, divided it into subdivisions, and distributed it to the homeless people for rent."
"What are you doing? Escorted the concubine Liu Xin to the front of the Fengtian Temple, and punished eighty with a rod. Everyone go and watch carefully, if anyone dares to violate the law of the country, the whip in the hands of this cabinet will not be spared!"
With a thunderous disposition, the news soon reached the harem.
Zhen didn't dare to believe this at all, in the absence of the emperor's decree and the emperor's holy decree, Wei Qinghe would directly abolish his son's princely throne, and issued a decree to order someone to raid the Zhen family, and escort all the Zhen family and others into Beijing.
"Come, come, where did everyone die? Prepare a sedan chair for the main palace, and the main palace will go to the saint
My wretched child is in charge......
After a flustered period of dizziness, Zhen led a group of people to Longshou Palace. It's a pity that the gate of the Dragon Head Palace is closed, and the forbidden army doesn't let her disturb the holy car at all.
The little eunuch came to report that Liu Xin had been stripped of his coat and tied to the bench, and Zhen couldn't care less about continuing to plead in front of the Dragon Head Palace, so he hurried to the direction of the three major halls with people.
The concubine entered the previous dynasty without an edict, and in fact had already violated the palace rules.
Waiting for the figure of Zhen's party to disappear, the palace gate of Longshou Palace slowly opened, and the crown prince Liu Hong walked out with the old man of the Emperor Taishang, looking at the gate of the outer palace from a distance.
Liu Hong looked at the old man with a gloomy expression, and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa Huang, why didn't you order someone to stop Zhen Niangniang?" That's the previous dynasty after all."
The Emperor shook his head, sighed and said, "Stop her, she doesn't know how many mistakes she will make in the future. Let her make trouble, after the trouble, your imperial grandmother will be punished according to the system, and it will be possible to save the lives of their mother and son!"
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three......
The sound of the Han general's canes reached the ears of the Zhen family, who came in a hurry, like a hammer hitting the heart, making him feel distressed and unable to control himself.
"Wei Qinghe, you are so bold, don't hurry up and stop this palace!"
Zhen's guard of honor passed directly through the left wing gate and came to the front of the Fengtian Palace, and after hearing the sharp shouts, the ministers looked to the east side one after another, and then exclaimed.
The concubine and phoenix drove, and everyone bowed down to meet him.
Only a few elders, important ministers and the governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion looked dissatisfied and looked at each other coldly.
Wei Qing and the green tendons on his forehead were jumping: Saint, saint, are you trying to exhaust the old man to death? The old husband saved your son's life and threw your woman over? Without ten meals, you can't get over anything!
The concubine drove directly past the ministers, and Zhen even blocked in front of the execution forbidden army, preventing the court staff from falling.
At this time, Liu Xi had already fainted, even if Wei Qinghe had already instructed the forbidden army to stay strong, but the punishment of the cane was so heavy that the pampered Liu Chen couldn't bear it at all.
Zhen couldn't wake up his son even a few times, and he would have fallen into madness. She pointed at Wei Qinghe and scolded, without the dignified demeanor of a concubine.
"Vixen, shut up the Pavilion!"
The anger on Wei Qinghe's face became more and more intense with Zhen's abuse, and he suddenly shouted: "Concubine Zhen, she went out of the palace without an edict, insulted the emperor and the assistant of the dynasty, obstructed justice, and violated the palace rules and national laws...... Come and send Zhen back to the palace. This cabinet will invite the queen mother to take the throne of the concubine to set an example!"
Hiss!
The ministers took a deep breath one after another, the prime minister is crazy today!
Wei Qinghe, a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, went crazy in the palace today, and spread like a drama in Beijing.
used to be laughed at and said that he was a big minister with mud, but now he has become a black-faced judge in the eyes of the ministers, and he is still the kind of person who beats the king with a whip, and no one dares to look at him.
After the ministers returned home from the palace, almost all of them called their children and grandchildren to them, told them in detail what happened in the palace today, and repeatedly told them not to go out recently and stay at home obediently.
The emperor's own sons were beaten and lost half their lives, and the concubine was about to be abolished, and they had no confidence that they could stop the black-faced judge who killed the crazy.
"The Great Prime Minister is mighty!"
After listening to Jia Jing's story, Jia Cong took a deep breath and then grinned and sighed.
is worthy of being a great man for ten years, this is powerful...... Domineering exposed!
Jia Jing remembered his past, sighed and said, "Now I know why your grandfather and them have to ask our children and grandchildren to study. You have to study hard, and if our family can produce a cabinet in the future, then we can really rest with the country."
"Huh? Our family is the founding martial artist, shouldn't we make great contributions to the country and ask for a hereditary title?"
Jia Jing rubbed his nephew's brain and explained, "There are only three generations of wealth, and there will always be a day when the battle will be over. This ruling the country and the world is, after all, dominated by civilian officials. You can also hear today's events clearly, even the British prince and his old man have to bow their heads in the face of the prime minister, you can imagine
How powerful is Zaisuke's power?"
"It's really unimaginable to my nephew, on weekdays, I see that the prime minister is smiling at everyone, and he just laughs at Qi Bohan's provocation......
Jia Cong's words made Jia Jing couldn't help laughing: "Don't look at Qi Bohan as the second assistant of the cabinet, he dances happily on weekdays, and always wants to say goodbye to the prime minister. But in fact, whether it is the Emperor Taishang or His Majesty, in the Central Cabinet, the only person trusted by the two saints the most will always be the Great Minister."
At the end of the words, Jia Jing whispered mysteriously: "Something really happened, the entire cabinet of six departments and five temples combined, can't match the authority of the prime minister alone. The whip in his old man's hand was specially left by the saint just in case. In the winter of the forty-ninth year of Zhaowu, the sage was worried that he would not live long, and he had made an agreement with the Great Prime Minister that if there was a faint king one day, the Great Prime Minister could do what Iho did!"
"!"
Jia Cong couldn't help but say a word, this ......
Jia Jing was very satisfied with his nephew's shocked expression, and smiled slightly: "Not many people know the truth about this matter, I can know that it was said by His Majesty when he entered the palace with your father a few years ago."
"Huh? Your Majesty didn't find a way to take it back? What emperor would give his courtiers so much power?"
Huo Guangzhi's auxiliary Han room can be described as loyal; But the pawn can't shelter his sect, why not? The one who is blessed is also the instrument of the king. People cling to it, and they don't return for a long time, and they rarely do it.
Jia Cong secretly thought: How could the emperor let the emperor let his courtiers take charge of it?
But he heard Jia Jing say, "Actually, Your Majesty thought about persuading the saint to take back the whip of beating the king, but in the end he changed his mind. Your Majesty once told me and your father that the kings of the past were few virtuous and many were mediocre. If it's just mediocrity, I'm afraid that future generations of kings will be like the two emperors of Huan Ling, and it will bring disaster to the world. But if you leave this whip and give it to a virtuous servant to rule the king."
Jia Cong was dumbfounded, the emperor was too idealistic.
Not everyone can compare Wei Qinghe, if there is a big girl who seems to be loyal, wouldn't it be a big chaos?
"Of course, Your Majesty is just thinking about this matter, and there are a few more Wei Qinghe in the world."
Jia Jing himself felt that the emperor was a little too naïve to think this, but when he looked at the nephew in front of him, his eyes showed a hint of essence.
It is precisely because the sage has a loyal and capable Wei Qinghe that the emperor also has the intention of personally cultivating "Jia Qinghe" for his son.
He only guessed this matter based on what the emperor said and sighed, and he couldn't say it clearly at the moment.
Jia Jing rubbed his nephew's brain again, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, I am telling you this today to tell you that being a military general is indeed wanton and happy, but it cannot realize the ambition in your heart. Study hard, try the boy's test next year, whether our family can produce a character like the Great Minister, it's up to you!"
