Chapter 31: Weakening the Enemy's Forces
"I received news that there are rebels in Hujun, and we can elect the eldest prince to suppress it when we go to the court tomorrow, and once he goes to Hujun, we can follow the operation of some things. He Shizhong squinted his eyes and said with a sly expression.
Hearing He Shizhong's words, the second prince's eyes suddenly lit up, but he still said with some embarrassment: "That waste in Qinshan may not agree to go and exterminate the rebels. ”
He Shizhong had a confident smile on his face, "Now that the surrounding countries of the Shengtian Dynasty are not at peace, all the generals are guarding the frontier, and there are not many generals who can lead the troops to exterminate the rebels, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, and will definitely send cronies to go, at this time, we and all the ministers in the court will elect the eldest prince together, Your Majesty will definitely consider it, after all, it will have a great impact if you don't get rid of the rebels!"
"Since this is the case, then this matter will be bothered Prime Minister He. The second prince nodded.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the small ones will definitely be dealt with. He Shizhong said solemnly.
......
The next morning, Qin Shan, as the eldest prince, naturally wanted to go to the early court.
"The emperor drove to the !!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" When the emperor sat on the dragon chair, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted in unison.
Qin Shan muttered in his heart: "I didn't think I used to watch it on TV, but now I feel that this early time is really early, looking at the current situation, it should be five o'clock in the morning, and I will climb the throne cliff in the future, don't get up so early, I must change the time." ”
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
He Shizhong was going to directly propose to the emperor the matter of exterminating the rebels, but Wan Yongjun, the secretary of the ministry, directly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates beg Your Majesty to let go of the dog Wan Zhihao!"
Hearing the words of Wan Yongjun, the secretary of the ministry, everyone else was stunned for a while.
Qin Shan naturally knew what Wan Yongjun wanted to do, this guy was still quite a thief, he didn't look for himself, but directly looked for the emperor, obviously wanting to save his son with the help of the emperor's hand.
"What does Aiqing mean by that?" the Emperor asked.
"The dog is not talented, there was a conflict with His Royal Highness the Great Prince after the end of the worship ceremony yesterday, the dog did not know that His Royal Highness the identity of the Great Prince suddenly recovered, so some offensive words, here the ministers apologized to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I hope that His Royal Highness the Great Prince can let the dog live with his noble hand, and please be accommodating. The official secretary arched his hand and said.
"Emperor, is this true?" the Emperor asked.
"Back to my father, it is indeed true at this time, Lord Shangshu's beloved son had a conflict with his son in the restaurant, he spoke to his son and despised the royal family, according to the law of the Shengtian Dynasty, it is equivalent to committing a rebellion, and the son has ordered the city guards to send him into the prison, ready to deal with it again, as for Lord Shang Shu said that he let go of his beloved son, at this time it involves the face of the royal family, and the son does not want to let go, but he can't condone this kind of thing, otherwise where is the face of the royal family?"
Qin Shan said sonorously, directly elevating a small contradiction to the face of the royal family, which obviously wanted to make things bigger.
The ministers in the court were all shocked, the eldest prince had never spoken when he was in the court before, why did he suddenly become so articulate now?
"Your Majesty! This matter is not as serious as the eldest prince said, the son of the subordinate is indeed a little stubborn, but he will never dare to despise the royal family, there must be a misunderstanding among them, please Your Majesty to investigate!"
As an accomplice of the Ministry of Shangshu, He Shizhong naturally had to stand up at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Shangshu is an important minister of the court, he has been conscientious for so many years, and he must have been negligent to his son, plus his son is young and ignorant, if he is so hasty and disposed of it will be so chilling, so the minister begs His Majesty to open the net and let the beloved son of the Ministry of Officials have a way out!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
“......”
After He Shizhong, the prime minister, spoke, other ministers also echoed him, and it was obvious that the ministers of the entire court supported the prime minister.
The second prince looked at Qin Shan beside him proudly, and thought silently in his heart: "See, they are all on the emperor's side, you waste just eat it silently!"
Qin Shan was not moved in the slightest, pouted and said: "If every minister takes the conscientiousness of the Shengtian Dynasty as a reason, can he even ignore the great crime of rebellion? The so-called Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and this emperor was abolished when he was the crown prince, can the son of a minister be special?!"
Since he has done something wrong, he must bear the consequences of his wrong thing, otherwise the country's laws and order will be chaotic! Although this matter is Wan Zhihao's fault, as his father, the official department has the unshirkable crime of teaching without a way!"
"Okay! What His Royal Highness the Great Prince said is extremely true, the so-called state-owned state has national laws and family rules, and those who violate the rules must be punished, and the minister feels that the great crime of contempt for the royal family must be severely punished, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to deal with it!" At this time, Ren Zhongjun stood up to support Qin Shan, and he was probably from Qin Shan's side.
Hearing Qin Shan's words, the emperor was also extremely surprised, could it be that the expulsion of Shan'er from the imperial family had made him mature?
"Wan Aiqing, what the eldest prince said is very true, this matter is your beloved son's mistake first, but his mistake is taught by you, the father, so I can forgive your beloved son, but the sin of your teaching is not forgiven!" The emperor looked at Wan Yongjun with a serious face, "I will cut off the surrender of your first-rank official now, and demote it to a second-rank left servant, and it will take effect!"
The emperor's words shocked all the civil and military officials in the court, and His Majesty said on the face that he would let go of the son of the official Shangshu, but in fact gave him a more serious punishment and directly eliminated the official rank.
And Wan Yongjun can't find a point to refute, if he doesn't cut the official, his son will die, and for the sake of his son, he can only bear it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing dogs!" Wan Yongjun knelt down bitterly and said.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Shan's mouth, this is the result he wants, Wan Zhihao's garbage is not worth mentioning at all, using him to weaken his father is the real purpose.
Seeing the smile on the corner of Qin Shan's mouth, the prime minister and the second prince glanced at each other, with a thick sense of incredulity in their eyes, they didn't expect the result to be like this, it seems that it is still Qin Shan's trick, when did the eldest prince become so wise?
Qin Shan's sharp words made the second prince even more jealous, and he wanted to get rid of Qin Shan as soon as possible, so he gave He Shizhong a look.
He Shizhong understood, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister received news from Hu County, there are rebels there, and the local officers and soldiers can't suppress it, so I ask Your Majesty to send troops to exterminate the rebels!"
"I already know about the Hujun rebellion, what is the best plan for your Aiqing, I don't know who Aiqing will recommend to exterminate the rebels?" the emperor asked, looking at the ministers.
"Father, the son has a very good candidate!"
