Chapter 148: The Dust Has Settled
The ministers boiled, and the sound filled the hall. When he heard Jiang Qi's name, Liu Hong couldn't help but lose his mind, a little sluggish, and looked at His Royal Highness who was talking about it. Not a surprise, but a memory.
Just now, the first time he saw the report, what he thought of in his heart was not what Zhang Wen was eating, but Jiang Qi, the invincible Jiang Qi was actually defeated.
But he soon realized that he was wrong. Blame the wrong person!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty?? After expressing his initiation, He Jin bowed. When it was half-ringing, there was no response, so he looked up at Liu Hong, who was distracted, and reminded.
was called twice in a row, Liu Hong withdrew his thoughts, "Aiqing said Jiang Qi?? ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, when it comes to the war against Xiliang, who has Yi Yanghou in my Han Dynasty knows that Qianghu was so strong and sharp earlier, wasn't it just a rat who was beaten by him? Yi Yanghou has been planning for the Xiliang war for a long time, and although there are changes now, he should also have a countermeasure. Questioned by the emperor's puzzled expression, He Jin said firmly.
"Is the general busy lately, hasn't the general heard that Yi Yanghou is now bedridden, and everyone in the capital knows that he is critically ill, how can such a person solve His Majesty's urgency." After He Jin finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Hong to speak, Zhang Rang, who had already realized the problem, hurriedly came out and said.
"Yes! General He is busy and confused, I heard that the Jiang family is preparing for a funeral, and now he mentions an unconscious person in the hall, is the general bullying the king? Zhang Rang's echo worm, Zhao Zhong, naturally echoed later.
"Yes! Aiqing, I also remembered, Jiang Aiqing was attacked in Hangu that day, she was seriously injured, listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the injury was very serious, and now she is still dead and unknown, how can she talk about the war of the country. Liu Hong, who also remembered Jiang Qi's recent situation, couldn't help but sigh after being happy.
He still remembered that when he heard the imperial doctor's report that Jiang Qi was critically ill, he couldn't believe it, and even regretted that he didn't send more troops to escort Jiang Qi.
Immediately, Liu Hong looked at the courtiers and asked, "Imperial Doctor Xu, I asked you to diagnose and treat Jiang Aiqing, has there been any improvement in the near future?" ”
"Your Majesty! The ministers have all gone to Yiyanghou's mansion recently, but although Yiyanghou's condition has not deteriorated, it has not improved, and now not only the water and rice are not exhausted, but even the daily medicinal soup needs to be filled! Being named, the imperial physician Ling Xu Cheng, who was located on the side of the main hall, hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Hey! I didn't think that Yi Yanghou was born and died for my big man, but now he is being slandered by gangsters like this, Your Majesty should be kind! Hearing Jiang Qi's condition now, Queen He couldn't help but think of the high-spirited young general at the beginning, and sighed.
"What the queen said is very true! Jiang Yiyang is running for the country, how can I let the country's capable ministers die in vain, Xu Qing, your Tai Hospital must try its best to treat Jiang Qing's illness, and someone must accompany him every day, there must be no mistakes, and any medicinal materials needed are used. If Jiang Qing is not cured, I will not be spared! There was no need for Empress He to remind, Liu Hong nodded yes and ordered.
"Wechen takes the order!!" Although he knew Jiang Qi's condition, but now that Liu Hong's face was pale, Xu Cheng didn't dare to show his head at this juncture, so he hurriedly took the order. As for whether it can be cured, that's two words.
"Your Majesty, now that the dynasty is in power, the envoys from all over the country are still preparing to pay tribute and congratulate, although the war is urgent, but should we wait until the end of the dynasty to discuss ......" After Xu Cheng retreated, Zhang Rang hurriedly jumped out and said again.
originally wanted the emperor to forget Jiang Qi and put him to death, but he didn't want to let Jiang Qi rise to the forefront in the discussions of the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, what Zhang Changshi said is very true, soldier! How can outsiders know about the major affairs of the country! Besides, the form is unknown now, and I don't know how to deal with it! Zhao Zhong then chimed in.
"What does the general think!" Listening to what Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong said was reasonable, Liu Hong also nodded and looked at He Jin, who had not yet entered the class.
"What the two permanent servants said is reasonable, but Your Majesty is now in an unclear form, let Shang Shutai and Taiwei Mansion find out the matter as soon as possible, and there can be no delay!" Looking left and right, He Jin, who had no one to give advice for a while, could only nod in agreement. As for not being able to help Jiang Qi take the lead, he had no choice.
"That's so! In accordance with the words of the general, spread my will, the Taiwei Mansion and Shangshutai immediately found out the Xiliang war and formulated a war strategy, there must be no mistakes! The anger disappeared a lot, and Liu Hong also put away his gaffe, and said loudly while sitting upright.
"Command!" Hearing the holy decree, Taiwei Zhang Yan and Shangshu Lingshi Sun Rui hurriedly came out in unison to receive the order, but after receiving the order, the two of them were a little embarrassed, and they couldn't stop the New Year.
However, everything seemed to be settled, and in one corner of the Deyang Palace, a small official wearing a dark civil official robe and holding a wat board suddenly ran out.
The visitor came to the center of the main hall, and without waiting for inquiry, he immediately held up the wat board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”
"Who are you! Dare to disturb the Holy Driver! It seems that the officials who are in court clothes and have a silk bag of only a few hundred stones, without Liu Hong raising his head, the court captain who maintains order has already spoken out.
With the sound, all the ministers looked sideways, and then they all knew that such a person should be an envoy on the ground, and how could he be qualified to go to the palace in normal times, let alone report it, and now most of the words are to attract the attention of the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Chenxi River plans to make Xun Yu and Xun Gongda, there is a play! Being drunk by Tingwei, if it were someone else, he would have been paralyzed, but after following Jiang Qi for a long time, he has seen a lot of life and death, but Xun You said calmly.
However, as soon as he heard Xun Yuzhi's registration, He Jin, who had just returned to the throne, was startled, looked at it twice, and was not sure that the inconspicuous strategist under his account at the beginning was now quite a courtier.
"West River?? Is it Xihe County in the state? Originally, I thought it was a small official who was in the limelight, but the word Xihe attracted Liu Hong's attention.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the lower official is the envoy of Xihe County, but the lower official still has an identity, and the lower official was the former chariot general Jiang Yiyang's military commander!" After following Jiang Qi for a long time, the well-informed Xun Yu said in a measured manner.
"Your Majesty! Weichen also remembered that Mr. Xun Gongda, the envoy of the throne, was originally a son of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and was a strategist in the Weichen Mansion, and when Jiang Yiyang went to Jizhou, he joined the military with Jiang Yiyang, and he was a meritorious minister.
Naturally, people with a heart can't help but speculate, what's wrong with the general today, why did he excuse Jiang Qi again and again, could it be that Queen He passed the word?
"Oh! It turned out to be Jiang Aiqing's strategist, so what kind of inspiration did Aiqing have? From Jiang Qi's strategist to He Jin's former strategist, there are just two identities to make Liu Hong very interested, and he immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, just now that Weichen got a glimpse of the Xiliang military situation, and then heard the ministers mention Yiyanghou, Gu didn't dare to hide it and not report it. His Majesty asked about the strategy of the war in Xiliang, just as the general said, there is no one in the court who knows more than Yi Yanghou. The minister dared to say that the change of Xiliang Yi Yanghou had already arrived, and left a notebook. He glanced at Liu Hong slightly, and between his words and expressions, Xun Yu replied.
Astound! Absolutely shocked, I originally thought that the Xiliang war was put aside for the time being, but before I thought about it, a small official pushed it to the top again, and immediately the hall resounded with a buzzing sound.
Liu Hong frowned even more, and said sharply: "What? Er is saying that Jiang Aiqing knows that Xiliang will have such a defeat, and he still leaves a rescue strategy! ”
"Daring Officer!! Above the main hall is a place to discuss military affairs, is it a place for you to talk nonsense, you know that bullying the king is to punish the nine clans! "What are you afraid of, I originally wanted everyone to forget Jiang Qi, who knew that there were Jiang Qi's strategists above the main hall, and immediately Zhang Rang couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly stopped again.
"Your Majesty didn't dare to talk nonsense, a few days ago Weichen returned to Beijing, has been in the Yiyang Hou Mansion, during which he asked Yi Yanghou was stabbed, and inadvertently close to the guard told that the prince was taken back earlier, but he did not forget the responsibility of his subordinates, although he did not forget to fight, he left a peaceful and cool strategy on the road!" Although Zhang Rang's momentum was not small, he couldn't scare Xun You, and then listened to him.
"That Yier's words, since the Marquis of Yiyang expected the defeat of Xilianghui, why didn't he report it early, now there are countless casualties among the soldiers at my border gates, Your Majesty! Jiang Qi is vicious with his intentions, and he should be killed. As a fellow party, Zhao Zhong naturally seized the loophole and immediately retorted.
"Then Zhao Changshou thinks too much, now Yi Yanghou is still guilty, although he has not been imprisoned, it is His Majesty's kindness, and now he is still imprisoned in the mansion." There is no need for He Jin and Xun You to answer, Sun Rui, who has not returned from going out to receive orders just now, sneered.
"Alright, alright. In the past, I won't say much, but now the war in Xiliang is urgent, since Xun Aiqing said that Yiyang Hou has a plan, I don't know why? Seeing that Shi Sun Rui spoke, Liu Hongsheng was afraid that the speaker would come out and shout again, so he immediately stopped it and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister has not seen it, so he can't answer, but the minister can go and get it immediately." Seeing that the emperor was interested, Xun You dropped the stone in his heart. What he wants is that the emperor attaches importance to Jiang Qi, and he can't let Jiang Qi fade out of the court, and finally die.
"Your Majesty! Minister's play! The minister thought that Xun Sima was not without a purpose, although the minister had not been to the Yiyang Marquis's mansion, but he felt that the Yiyang Marquis had already considered the defeat of Xiliang! Perhaps because he was afraid that Xun You's weight would not be enough, Lu Zhi, who had been saved by Jiang Qi, stepped forward to debut at a critical time.
"Oh?? Could it be that Aiqing has an unpredictable prophet? I could guess that Yi Yanghou had something to do! Obviously, Lu Zhi is vague and natural, which interests Liu Hong even more.
"Your Majesty still remembers that when the court impeached Yi Yanghou, Taiwei Zhang mentioned that Yi Yanghou asked his subordinates to serve as the county guard of Hanyang, and sent thousands of armor and clansmen. After thinking for a long time, the minister guessed that in fact, Yi Yanghou did not support the army and use power for personal gain, but could not think of a soldier and a pawn, let the family as the root, and the strategists made strategies to stabilize the three auxiliary barriers of Hanyang, enter the grain road, and defeat the strong enemy. In the face of inquiry, Lu Zhi then threw a bombshell*.
"What! Lu Aiqing, don't talk wildly! Obviously, Lu Zhi's words, Liu Hong did not expect. Such a conversation is not just to mention Jiang Qi's strategy, but obviously to overturn the case for Jiang Qi.
"Weichen is just guessing, as for whether it is true, His Majesty should know after reading Yi Yanghou's report, if he is not mistaken, Yi Yanghou will suggest that Hanyang County send a general to guard the county." Lu Zhi didn't argue hard, and then said lightly.
Lu Zhi's words, although he said lightly, but the weight is incomparably heavy, regardless of the prestige of the DPRK and China, just because he was once a general in the north and was invincible for several months, he cannot be indebted to his military advice.
"In that case, Xun Aiqing went to take Yi Yanghou's book to see if there was really a way to break the enemy." After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Liu Hong did not ask deeply, and then said to Xun You.
"No!" Finally seeing Liu Hong nodding, Xun You hurriedly agreed and left.
However, today it seems that he didn't want Jiang Qi's talk to end there, and immediately heard Shi Sun Rui say: "Your Majesty, just now Lu Yilang mentioned Jiang Yiyang's impeachment, and there are still mistakes in the analysis, Weichen is bold, but the case of Yi Yanghou can be closed, after all, the imperial doctor also said that Yi Yanghou does not enter the water and rice, and if something happens, he should not carry the name of rebellion." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the case of Yi Yanghou has been discussed in the court for more than a month, and Weichen also thinks that this case should be understood, and Yi Yanghou has been detained by the Praetorian Guards, and it is not a long-term matter." Hearing Shisun Rui's words, Ma Riyan, who had been walking very close, immediately came out and echoed.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with the words of the two adults, since the Marquis of Yiyang has returned to Beijing for a few days, the case should be understood." With the words, Situ Cui Lie also came out in agreement.
Seeing that Situ, Shang Shuling, and Taifu all came out to talk about this matter, Liu Hong couldn't avoid it anymore, and then asked He Jin: "What does the general think!" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that when it comes to talking about it, Xun Gongda talked about Yi Yanghou's way to solve the Xiliang war, if it is adopted, Yi Yanghou will still carry the name of the criminal minister when he falls, but it is not good, after all, the impeachment of him in the first place is a big crime." Since it is quite Jiang Qi, He Jin naturally wants to do it to the end, and immediately affirms.
Of course, not everyone agreed, and then Han Fu said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree, today is the great dynasty of the country, how can it be the time to talk about prison." Moreover, it is really inappropriate for His Majesty to let the three governments discuss the crime of Yi Yanghou earlier, but now he suddenly talks about it. ”
"Your Majesty, as Han Yushi said, the case of Marquis Yiyang has long been determined to be guilty of the three governments, and how to say that Jiang Yiyang is also a marquis, how can he be hastily punished." Following Han Fu's words, He Miao, who had always been at odds with Jiang Qi, also spoke after glancing at Zhang Rang.
These days have been hooking up and partnering, facing He Miao's eyes, Zhang Rang naturally understood, he can't let the emperor let Jiang Qi go on a whim, how to say that this is the New Year, what if there is an extra amnesty.
Then Zhang Rang also added fuel and vinegar and said: "Your Majesty, when the New Year is a time when the whole country is jubilant, how can you judge the minister of a major crime, if you are guilty, it is not easy to decide." ”
Seeing that there were those who were in favor and there were many who were opposed, Liu Hong suddenly made some difficulties, but after all, it was a great dynasty, and he couldn't leave it alone in front of everyone's eyes, and then unconsciously looked at Zhang Yan, the chief lieutenant who was in charge of Jiang Qi's case, hoping to have a step down.
"Taiwei Zhang, I asked Qing and Shisun Aiqing and Xuan Tingwei to review Jiang Aiqing's case earlier, how is it, if you discuss the crime today, can you!"
Hearing the emperor's words, the court has been up and down for a long time, how can Zhang Yan, who is exquisite, not understand, when he listens to the words 'Jiang Aiqing', and today it is clear that the court is going to ask Jiang Qi for help, Zhang Yan has realized in his heart, and immediately walked out of work.
"Your Majesty! After His Majesty handed over the case that day, as the chief judge, the chief judge of the Taiwei Mansion investigated the affairs of Jiang Yiyang's army, although it was not fully investigated, but it was determined that Jiang Yiyang did not have the heart of disobedience, on the contrary, he would charge forward in every battle, forgetting his life and death. Killed the enemy chieftain and countless enemy troops, and all the scars on his body were written with loyalty. ”
Excited, this year's dynasty is full of surprises, originally Liu Hong just asked casually, wanting to find a step, as long as Zhang Yan's sentence is still in the inquiry, everything is over, but the first person to impeach Jiang Qi jumped out at the moment and said that Jiang Qi is not guilty. Immediately, the discussion began again.
Obviously, I didn't expect Zhang Yan to put a Zhang Rang on fire, when he asked the Sanfu to judge the case, he pointed to the Taiwei Mansion to finalize the case, but now that Zhang Yan is backlashing, then there is still the significance of the judgment in this case?
Immediately, Zhang Rang jumped out without choosing what to say: "Zhang Yan'er is talking nonsense! Jiang Qi supports the army and abuses power, uses power for personal gain, and raises bandits for self-respect! The evidence is conclusive, how can it be innocent! ”
However, it is obvious that in front of everyone, a third duke was scolded by a eunuch pointing his nose, which was very inappropriate, and there was no need for the emperor to retreat, Zhang Rang faced the attention of the ministers, and then retreated embarrassedly, and finally sued the emperor.
was scolded by a eunuch, Zhang Yan is also a person who wants to save face, not to mention that he doesn't want to change his words, but he has no way out. Immediately said aggressively: "Your Majesty, the investigation of the Taiwei Mansion will naturally not be untargeted, not to mention the investigation of my Han General, although the evidence collected has not been brought into the main hall, but it is guaranteed in the name of the Three Princes, and what he said is true." Yi Yanghou acted, even if there was something wrong, there would be no big mistake. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yan glanced at Liu Hong, saw that he was not angry and bowed slightly, and immediately determined that his own strategist Jia Xu was really powerful, he was right, the emperor had no intention of killing Jiang Qi at all.
As Zhang Yan expected, Liu Hong was indeed satisfied at the moment, and the last sentence was not a big mistake, so he used it very well, and he was not satisfied. There is no big mistake, it means that there is a mistake, it is reasonable to take his military power back to the capital, and there is no big mistake, and then pardon is also appropriate, and it will not refute face.
Then Liu Hong looked at Shangshu Lingshi Sun Rui and Tingwei Xuanbo and asked, "Then Shangshutai and Taiwei Mansion, have you found out what Jiang Aiqing is guilty of?" ”
The people in the court are all human spirits, since the biggest variable Zhang Yan said so, what can Sun Rui and Qingliu Xuanbo, who have always wanted to protect Jiang Qi, say! Then they unanimously said that Jiang Qi was not guilty.
After listening to the words of the second government, Zhang Rang's iron face and murderous gaze to explain the anger in his heart, he was originally counting on Zhang Yan to help kill Jiang Qi, but now it seems that he has to count on the disease.
The three governments were unified, and Liu Hong said that he understood, although the court did not announce the pardon of Jiang Qi on the spot, everything was a foregone conclusion. Everyone present understood that Jiang Qi would not be given death, at least not in the name of a criminal minister, as for whether he would die young, it really depends on the will of God.
Jiang Qi's matter came to an end, and the dynasty then ended in Liu Hong's tired words, as for the matter of the plan, this year's unprecedented was completed by the general.
As for Xun You, who hurriedly went to the Yiyang Marquis Mansion, when he got back the report that didn't exist, he was only handed over to Shang Shutai for discussion.
Seeing the scattered courtiers, Xun You, who was staying, couldn't help but shake his head, originally when he heard about the war, he thought that Jiang Qi's opportunity to rise again had come, and he didn't want to find it, Liu Hong didn't have the idea of using Jiang Qi, otherwise he wouldn't have ended the court meeting in such a hurry.
Of course, it is also understandable, after all, the decree cannot be changed overnight, and it is already an unexpected joy to see the hope of forgiveness of crimes today.
The dynasty dispersed, but the excitement of the Jiang family had just begun, Jiang Qi's wedding, although there was a sense of joy, but when the upward wind began to change, the Jiang family's courtyard became lively again.
Even if it was not as good as the original, the emperor and the general gave gifts, and there were naturally many officials attached to it. It's just that the number of cooks who run the banquet has doubled, and it can barely cope with it.
It's a pity that Jiang Qi, who is playing with his daughter in the room, can't see it. And the once-in-a-lifetime wedding, he missed it like this, which is a pity.
For the wedding, his sister Jiang Lin should be replaced, Jiang Lin'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, calculated the limelight today, and also touched a trace of her heartstrings.
It wasn't until the time of the lamp that the groom's official Jiang Qifang appeared and finally saw his flower-like wife. Of course, he was carried into the new house by several guards, although the wedding ceremony sister can do it for him, but he has to do it himself.
just made Jiang Qi puzzled, when he pretended to be unconscious on the bed, Xun Xin didn't know, and he was even more waiting. And when he opened his eyes, he was frightened. Later, Jiang Qi learned that Xun You was so conscientious, and no one really said anything about his pretending to be sick.
Also at this moment, Jiang Qi was really moved, and he never gave up, if he had a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for. Then the feeling of political marriage went with the wind.
And that's what Xun Yu is clever.
The red candle is extinguished, and the spring night is momentary. As the night deepened, the Jiang family, which had been busy all day, was quiet.
But there are many people who are destined to be sleepless tonight, such as Jiang Lin'er, who is dressed in a happy dress and a little handsome in her charm, standing alone, with a deep sadness, worried about her brother, and tortured about her own decision.
However, Jiang Lin'er knows that she doesn't regret it, and she can't regret it, now that her brother has lost power, she must stand up, because from the moment they were born, they are destined to be connected by flesh and blood, and life and death are not separated.
Just now, she said words that would affect her life to a handsome young man in white. 'Zilong, will you be loyal to your brother and Li'er for the rest of your life......
For example, in a courtyard in the south of the city, the sound of Yaoqin has not been extinguished overnight......
End of Volume 3!! The race is about to begin
