Chapter 686: Evil Obstacles
As soon as Tobe Shangshu mentioned this matter, the emperor's face darkened by half.
When he used the treasury money to build a Taoist temple, the emperor regrets it now. But the emperor's treasury is no better than Zhu Li's, the emperor was trembling when he was the crown prince, and naturally he didn't dare to stuff the silver into the private treasury. In addition, after becoming the emperor, he rewarded concubines and ministers, and he was an alchemy cultivator, and the emperor's private treasury was even more shriveled.
Zhu Li is different. has been the emperor's grandson for so many years, and the emperor has always loved his grandson, so he has always rewarded him a lot. Coupled with filial piety everywhere, it is naturally a considerable amount over time.
The emperor used the money from the treasury, which should not have been. Now that he is questioned by the minister like this, he can't hold his face even more. And the most important point is that if the emperor can make up the silver, it will be fine, not so. Can it be ......
Zhu Li looked at the emperor's face and then at the elderly Prince Jing.
Prince Jing was the emperor's uncle, the youngest brother of the first emperor, and the most trusted brother of the first emperor. Although Prince Jing is not in good health and has no real power, he is also extremely prestigious.
Prince Jing got Zhu Li's eyes, and then he spoke up: "The old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
No matter how clear the emperor was, it was impossible for Prince Jing to speak to him, but he could only give Prince Jing face: "Uncle Huang, please speak." β
Prince Jing looked at the emperor, and his eyelids were about to droop, but his eyes were scorching: "When the first emperor died in the past, how did you tell the emperor?" Didn't the emperor forget everything? When the emperor died, how much silver was in the treasury? And now it's so stretched. Your Majesty, don't you really feel ashamed of the first emperor? β
Prince Jing, as a courtier, is a bit rebellious to speak like this. But as an uncle, it is only natural to reprimand the emperor like this.
When the emperor was reprimanded like this, his face turned black directly. It's just that the emperor is angry, but he still can't say a word of rebuttal. I can only listen to it like this-in all fairness, Prince Jing's words are really reasonable.
When the first emperor was there, what was the world like? What is it like now? In such a comparison, many people invariably showed a little disappointment.
Prince Jing didn't give the emperor a chance to speak, so he softened his tone and said: "Natural disasters have been going on for many years, and it's not what the emperor is willing to say." It's just that at this time, you are still cultivating and refining pills, and you are squandering your money so wantonly...... In the past, if this situation had been encountered, the emperor would have already issued an edict against himself. The emperor is now in our eyes, and it's really not suitable to worry about this, so think about it-"
Prince Jing's words were moderate, but he didn't say anything more.
However, the emperor squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "So think about it?" Uncle Huang has something to say in thisβ"
No one in the court dared to say much. It's all very tight. After all, not everyone can be as qualified to talk to the emperor as Prince Jing is.
Since Prince Jing opened this mouth, it was impossible to stop like this. When even he said directly: "In the past, the first emperor felt that the emperor was not suitable to be the emperor, but now it seems that the old minister thinks that the first emperor's words are very correct." β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Prince Jing's words are no less than that he is about to rebel.
The emperor slapped the table: "Bold! I am the true son of heaven, you are so rebellious, could it be that you have the intention of rebellion? β
Prince Jing was not afraid of the emperor, and immediately took off his coat, revealing the golden silk soft armor inside. This is a gift from the emperor at the beginning, and it is as easy to use as a gold medal to avoid death. Prince Jing sneered: "This king followed the first emperor at the age of thirteen and fought for thirty years, and in the end, if he hadn't been hit by an arrow in the leg and couldn't ride a horse, now this king is still guarding the border pass!" The emperor's rebellion is to force the king to death? β
Prince Jing has indeed made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. No one can deny this.
Zhu Li said at the right time: "Prince Jing don't be in a hurry, my father didn't mean that." Prince Jing followed the emperor's grandfather to fight in all directions and made great contributions, which no one dares to deny. Besides, Prince Jing, you have no intention of rebellion, so naturally no one dares to put this hat on you. β
Prince Jing glanced at Zhu Li: "In the past, when the first emperor was there, he once said a word to this king, saying that if there is a **** that the unsuccessful son is unreliable, let me watch some." Now the court has become such a smoky miasma. I think if the first emperor saw it, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would be able to jump up from the coffin! β
Prince Jing is simply scolding. Such a thing would never have happened in the past.
The emperor is also very angry, but Prince Jing has been fighting for so many years, where can he be afraid of the accusations and reprimands of an emperor who has been hollowed out by wine? At that moment, Prince Jing simply got up and dragged the old wounded leg. Standing under the throne, his expression was grim, as if he had returned to the battlefield where the war horses were neighing, even though Prince Jing was old, but he stood there like this, and the momentum was a little terrifying.
"Since the emperor wants to cultivate the Tao and refine the pill, then it is better to hand over these trivial court affairs to others." Prince Jing's voice was like a bell, almost roaring out. This sound is simply deafening, and it makes people's hearts and minds shocked.
The people above the court looked at Prince Jing like this, and many people were so calm that they couldn't say a word.
The emperor slammed the table: "Bold! β
With this slap, the emperor was slammed, and before he could scold the words later, he lost his strength and sat on the dragon chair all of a sudden.
Everyone was shocked, and they all stared at the emperor tightly. The string in my heart tightened.
Zhu Li was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor.
The emperor waved Zhu Li's hand away and stared at Zhu Li tightly: "Evil obstacle! These two words seem to be squeezed out of the emperor's teeth. The breath was faint, but it was filled with great anger.
The emperor really regretted it at this moment. regretted that he didn't strangle Zhu Li to death in swaddling clothes when he was just born.
Zhu Li was slapped away like this, but froze in place. After a long time, Zhu Li came to his senses: "Why should my father be annoyed? β
The emperor was speechless.
And when things come to this point, there is obviously no possibility of turning back. Prince Jing didn't say anything more, just stood there so proudly.
Xue Zhi was no longer silent at this time, and directly knelt down and said loudly: "The emperor is old and has limited energy. The minister suggested that the emperor retire as the emperor and hand over the government to His Royal Highness the Prince! β
Xue Zhi spoke out, followed by the Li family, the Gu family, and the Qin family, and other big families also seconded the proposal one after another.
