Chapter 4 The Queen Mother, go well! (below)
"Foreign minister, I have seen Your Majesty!"
"This is the charter of the peace talks, please take a look at it!"
After the envoy saluted, he stepped forward with the national letter, and a eunuch took it and stepped forward to hand it to the emperor.
"Well, read it to the princes."
Zhu Ming waved his hand.
"After this battle, at the end of each year, I had 1.4 million taels of silver and 200,000 horses of Juan...... to compensate for the cost of this battle. ”
Thinking of this, although everyone was already prepared in their hearts, they still didn't expect these Fanbang barbarians to be so black-hearted, and they wanted to tear off a large piece of meat directly.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
The eunuch only felt inexplicably hot when he held the national letter, and looked at the rest of the words, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he didn't know what to do.
"Go on!"
Zhu Ming took a deep breath and trembled lightly.
"Ceded the land of Shanggu, Yuyang, and Yanmen counties for cavalry and horses...... to compensate for the loss of this battle. ”
"Hiss......"
There was a gasp among the courtiers.
"In addition, the prince of my Yan Kingdom has always admired the appearance of Princess Changning of Liguo, and I look ...... To tie the knot ...... of eternal peace"
After the eunuch finished the last paragraph tremblingly, his back was already wet with cold sweat.
The huge court hall is even more pin dropping,
Luo Congee looked up, only to see that the young man who was full of books in the past was also rarely angry, his fists were clenched, and there were faint green tendons on his forehead, and he was about to speak, but when his eyes swept over the bead curtain, he loosened his fist dejectedly.
The woman was the only one in the whole hall who breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you heard it right, what is said in the letter of state is that I want to leave the court, cut the land, pay compensation, and make peace?"
Luo Congee met Zhu Ming's gaze, and saw a strong unwillingness, so he didn't hesitate, and walked straight to the envoy and asked word by word.
"This is the meaning of my family's saint."
"It's also the meaning of hundreds of thousands of sons in my Yan Kingdom."
The envoy looked at the young man in front of him and raised his head.
"If you don't allow ......"
The envoy paused in the direction of the border, and then waved his sleeve suddenly, the meaning of which was already self-evident.
"The wolf's ambition is obvious!"
"You are so barbarian, you are really too deceitful!"
"If such a clause should be issued, how will my generation have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors, and what qualifications will I have to admonish future generations...... "Several old ministers looked up to the sky and sighed.
Such an arrogant attitude has attracted the voice of criticism from the court, and even if the court's ministers are weak, they still need some face in the end.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient."
"Do you know how many days it will take to get from Yuyang County here?"
When the envoy saw this, he did not panic,
Just turned around and asked in a distant way, pointing at Beidi Langsheng.
"Now I have more than 100,000 iron horsemen gathered in Yuyang, if I break through the pass, I can kill the capital in less than half a moon with the prosperity of the army!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have to try this iron horse, is it fast?"
The words fell, and the hall was as quiet as a cicada.
Because after careful consideration, there is a real possibility that such an arrogant speech of this envoy will come true.
The eyes of the ministers subconsciously avoided the lonely figure on the throne, and vaguely fell on the woman behind the beaded curtain.
"Queen Mother, you must know that whether it is land cutting, compensation or harmony, there is still room for maneuver......"
"But it's really at the stall where the iron horse enters the customs, and I don't know who the rivers and mountains are with?"
"Please also ask the mother, focus on the foundation!"
The envoy did not hide it,
Shouted directly to the woman behind the beaded curtain!
"Mourning the family...... That's it! ”
The woman, who was still a little hesitant, heard this, as if she had touched something, and suddenly got up and opened the beaded curtain and made a decisive decision.
"Queen Mother, think twice!"
"Think twice!"
At this moment, even several ministers who advocated peace also knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, until the soldiers came to the city, as a last resort, no one wanted to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and be scolded by future generations.
"Didn't you hear the words of the mourning family?"
"The mourning family said, yes!"
The woman dragged her long rich dress to the throne and looked down on the people.
At this moment, the so-called etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers in the mouth of the reader, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness were trampled to pieces by a few fluttering words from the woman.
"What kind of face do I have to see my father again after I die?"
Zhu Ming looked at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and the woman who was blocking him and laughed at himself.
"Do I still deserve to leave this home in the future......
There was an indescribable loneliness and sadness in his tone.
"Naturally!"
Luo Congee walked out of the group of ministers who fell to their knees and wailed, and stepped onto the steps step by step.
"Your Majesty has not yet answered, and you have kowtowed to a woman and begged for more, and your bones have been gnawed by dogs?"
Luo Congee looked at the black head below and smiled contemptuously, his tone was not high, but it could be heard in everyone's ears, but it was inexplicably making people's hearts tremble.
"What qualifications do you have to discuss the government in vain?" The woman looked at the young man on the steps and said coldly.
"According to the law of great separation, the minister is naturally qualified to discuss the government, but I am afraid that the mother has forgotten the ancestral teachings......"
"According to the edict of the former emperor, now that the saint has reached the age of the crown, the mother should return to your majesty, right?"
"You must know that this Jiangshan is surnamed Zhu!"
Luo Congee said calmly to the gloomy woman, and these words also spoke to the hearts of everyone.
The 120 years of the National Dynasty have raised scholars, although not every literati has a backbone to speak of, but the old Zhu family still has some weight in their hearts.
"Emperor, tell me, what the mourning family has done over the years, which one is not for the old Zhu family, for this big departure?"
The woman also held her breath, knowing the key to this matter, and turned her head to look at the man on the dragon chair, who knew that Zhu Ming, who had always been obedient, was rarely silent.
"Oh, for the sake of leaving the country?"
"Kechen Guan Niangniang means ......"
Luo Congee knew that he could not miss the opportunity and continued.
"These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I would rather give a state than a house slave!"
Luo Congee said loudly, and when he spoke, he inexplicably remembered the queen mother in his previous life, and how similar the two were.
Suddenly hearing this, all the officials in the court looked at each other, and even several important ministers who had always been loyal to the Queen Mother also looked subtle, with a faint trace of shame and anger in their eyes.
"You're a yellow-mouthed kid...... How dare you mourn your family? Listening to these heart-wrenching words, the woman couldn't help it no matter how good her kung fu was, and raised her hand to wave it at Luo Congee's face.
"Smack......
There was no expected slapping sound,
Instead, his wrist was firmly held by the young man.
"Today, the mother is grandiose, with the land of great separation, the blood of the heavenly family, and the corn of the people, ask for the power of that person!"
Luo Congee pressed forward step by step against everyone's horrified gaze,
"How is this move different from betraying the country?"
Luo Congee was already on the handle of the knife with his right hand as he spoke.
"What do you want, thief?"
"Don't you want to rebel?"
"Forbidden Army, where?"
The Queen Mother looked at the young man who was approaching step by step, and a rare trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Hearing the movement coming from the main hall, hundreds of forbidden soldiers on duty poured in from the gate very quickly.
"To the mourning family, take it!"
"No!"
Everyone agreed loudly, surrounded the two people on the high platform, and the cold swords shook people's eyes.
"Don't rush in, I'm afraid you'll hurt your mother's daughter!"
However, the person in the lead shouted, and did not go any further, faintly blocking his colleagues behind him.
"Luo Congee, don't you step down quickly!"
Zhu Ming was shocked and angry when he looked at Luo Congee who had done such a rebellious act, obviously he had already responded last night, why was he so reckless now?
"Your Majesty, the minister is reluctant to retreat ......"
Luo porridge does not retreat, but advances.
"There is an old slave here, please rest assured."
As soon as the words fell,
An old eunuch with a dust whisk appeared on the high platform, and after saluting Zhu Ming, he stood in front of the dragon chair.
The old eunuch looked kind, inexplicably reassuring, and at the same time made the forbidden army who wanted to take the risk to come forward to rescue him stop and watch the changes.
An eerie stalemate formed in the main hall.
"Luo Congee, what do you want to do?"
After Zhu Ming settled down,
looked at Luo Cong, who was still unmoved, and roared.
"Your Majesty!"
"Since the death of the first emperor, this poisonous woman has secretly controlled the government, excluded dissidents, installed cronies, cultivated party henchmen, raised faces, and caused chaos in the harem......"
"The number of things committed is too numerous to mention!"
"Even when His Majesty's biological mother died of illness, there were many strange things, according to the minister's investigation, this matter is also inseparable from this poisonous woman......"
Luo Congee looked directly at Zhu Mingdao.
"This ......"
After listening to the first half of Zhu Ming, she still had no waves, she had done a lot of ridiculous things over the years, but as soon as the second half of the words fell, her pupils contracted, and her body couldn't stop trembling lightly.
"You, you ......"
On the contrary, the queen mother, who was restrained by Luo Congee, was stunned.
"You poisonous woman!"
"What virtue can be respected as the queen mother?"
When the woman just opened her mouth to explain something, Luo Congee grabbed the handle of the knife with the thumb of her right hand and lifted it up, and the embroidered spring knife on her waist instantly came out of its sheath.
"Poof......
The dull sound of a knife into flesh sounded,
The woman's bound arm was severed.
"Ah......h
The pain of a broken arm could not be endured by a well-pampered woman, and immediately she convulsed and spasmed in pain, and almost fainted.
A few drops of blood splashed on Zhu Ming's face, and the latter reached out and wiped it on his face, which was a little slippery, and his fingertips were still covered with scarlet blood.
"Even if the Queen Mother has committed a great crime!"
"But you shouldn't have made such hasty decisions!"
"How do the people of the world view such a situation?"
Many ministers fell to their knees in a daze, their faces were sad, and several old ministers fainted and fell to the ground directly, and the rest were angry blowing their beards and glaring.
Even Li Zhijie, who was still stroking his beard and watching, was also so shocked that he pulled off his white beard, and his gaze at Luo Congee became suspicious.
"As you say, how did I end......
"Today's move is too much ......"
Zhu Ming shook his head slowly, and looked at Luo Congee as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"The minister is a man of the rules......"
After Luo Congee finished speaking, he leaned over to the woman's side and muttered in a low voice: "By the way, Niangniang, it doesn't matter if you have done some things or not, after all, this is what our Jinyiwei did......"
"It's just that the minister also needs a fig leaf to ease the relationship with His Majesty......"
After Luo Congee finished speaking, he got up and threw out the secret edict hidden in his sleeve, and said loudly:
"Jinyiwei soothes the envoy, Luo porridge!"
"Today, the emperor's secret edict, the Qing monarch's side!"
The brocade fell, and some important ministers of the imperial court climbed over to pick it up, looking at the tone of the text and the familiar seal on it, and sighed: "It's really the secret edict of the first emperor!" ”
"The old minister implores Your Majesty to send the Empress Dowager to the palace to recuperate after the imperial doctor stabilizes his injuries!"
"During this period, the minister is willing to personally thoroughly investigate what Commander Luo said, and he will definitely give an explanation to the people and the heavenly family!"
Li Zhijie, who was originally kneeling on the ground below, suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the current situation and did not hesitate, buried his head and shouted.
Li Zhijie looked at the woman who was delirious in pain, and had already made a decision in his heart, the time spent in the harem was enough for him to stabilize the court and let His Majesty return to power.
As for being directly convicted and imprisoned, I have never thought about it, you must know that if this is the case, how should the courtiers who have been attached to the Queen Mother over the years deal with themselves?
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, and the consequences of the fish dying and the net are broken, so it is better to slowly figure it out and let them push out a group of people in front of the stage to lose their heads.
Let the transition of power be smoothest.
As for the knife, it's just too fast.
It's better to fold it earlier......
"Your Majesty, the old minister ......"
Li Zhijie subconsciously avoided Luo Congee's gaze, and kowtowed again, since he can stand tall in the court, in addition to knowing how to advance and retreat, there are also many protégés and former officials.
The young man in the dragon chair breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound.
But the young man on the high platform really turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him, and just muttered to himself in a low voice: "Queen Mother, you go well, and the minister will have to borrow your head afterwards!" ”
Now that the name of righteousness has been taken, looking at the extremely noble woman in front of her without a trace of hesitation, the embroidered spring knife in her hand waved down again, a mantis flew up, blood gushed out, and the figure in a gorgeous long dress slowly fell to the ground.
[Luck +10000000]
When the head hit the ground, it seemed that part of the luck of the entire Dali Imperial Court seemed to be taken away, although Luo Congee had no time to take care of him, but his heart was inexplicably a little more confident.
"Tick ......"
"Tick ......"
The red blood meandered down the steps, and the sound was not loud but exploded in everyone's minds like spring thunder, and the originally noisy court was dead silent.
The warm corpses on the ground, and the unsightly heads that had fallen to the ground, all told them that all this was really happening.
"The princes may have listened to the words of the official, and the official acted in accordance with the secret edict of the first emperor......"
"Since it is on the side of the Qing monarch, it is natural to punish the national thief!"
The young man took the bloody embroidered spring knife and turned to look at the ministers quietly, without a trace of emotion on his face, and took out a piece of Bai Juan to wipe the knife carefully.
But although the angry lips of the people below couldn't stop trembling, they didn't speak easily, and Li Zhijie, who had failed to calculate, was even more stuck in his throat.
"The national thief has been executed, do you still have objections?"
It wasn't until the blade of the knife was bright that Luo Congee raised his head and said slowly, and no one dared to look at him as far as he could see.
The originally handsome face fell into the eyes of everyone, and it looked inexplicably a little hideous, like a fierce beast that chose people to devour, and wanted to swallow people with belts and bones into their stomachs.
