Chapter 150: Scolding! (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of "Cz")
Sun Shangshu's old face showed a kind of decadence and defeat, looked at Wang Shoufu deeply, and said sadly: "Chuzhou City, there is no ........"
Rumble!
A thunderbolt slammed into Wang Shoufu's head.
Dali Siqing added bitterly: "King Zhenbei, ...... dead"
Boom!
Two thunderbolts smashed on the top of Wang Shoufu's head, and he was stunned.
Another four-rank official said indignantly: "King Zhenbei, slaughter the city........"
Boom Boom!
Wang Shoufu only felt that his brain was thundered one after another, his thinking gradually became blank, he had no thoughts, and even lost his ability to manage expressions.
In the eyes of Sun Shangshu and others, Wang Shoufu sat behind the table, his eyes were dilated, and his expression was dull, like an lifeless paper man.
Chuzhou City is gone?
Is the king of Zhenbei dead?
Chuzhou City was slaughtered by the king of Zhenbei?
Why am I the last to know such important news?
After a long time, Wang Shoufu's brain recovered from the downtime state, regained his ability to think, and doubts automatically surfaced in his mind.
Wang Shoufu, who had been up and down in the sea for many years, took a deep breath, his eyes were sad and sharp, "Tell me in detail, Lord Sun, start with you." ”
Sun Shangshu nodded, but did not speak, but looked outside the study and shouted, "Chen Zhutou!"
Chen Zhutou stepped into the threshold and entered the study.
Sun Shangshu sighed and said, "Let's let the parties talk about it." ”
When Dali Siqing heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "You and I have thought of it together." ”
He immediately went out of the study and asked the people of the palace to call the Dali Temple who was waiting outside the mansion in.
When Dali Temple entered the study, Chen Zhutou saw Wang Shoufu staring at him, bowed slightly, and immediately clasped his fists at the officials and said:
"Lord Shoufu, my lords, this way north, we were not stable on the way, and when we were at the border of Jiangzhou, we were intercepted and killed by three four-grade masters of the barbarians. At that time, there was only one Yang Jingong in the mission. ”
Wang Shoufu's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at him: "How did you get rid of the interception." ”
Chen Zhutou replied:
"In fact, on the official ship, the mission was almost destroyed, and it was Xu Yinluo who suddenly summoned us to discuss and said that we would take the land route instead. Claiming that if you don't go by land, you will pass through Driftstone Beach tomorrow, and you will most likely be ambushed. After some arguments, we chose to listen to Xu Yinluo's opinion and should go by land. The next day, Yang Jinluo went to the test by boat alone, and sure enough, he was ambushed. The ambusher is Tangshanjun of the Northern Demon Clan. ”
Wang Shoufu bowed slightly: "This person is delicate, keen as a cunning rabbit, when he was chosen as the organizer, most of the princes in the court actually recognized his ability." ”
"It's a pity that we still couldn't avoid the interception, and in the end they still found it. At that time, three Sipin besieged the mission, and Yang Jingong was difficult to support alone. Chen Zhutou said this, showing gratitude:
"At the moment of crisis, it was Xu Yinluo who stepped forward and blocked the two Sipin with the strength of one person, fighting for us a chance to escape. That is, after that time, we separated from Xu Yinluo, and we did not meet again until the destruction of Chuzhou City........"
Wang Shoufu raised his hand, interrupted him, and asked, "What is the reason for the barbarian ambush mission?
Chen Zhutou frowned, not quite sure: "It seems to be for the princess." As for Xu Yinluo, he broke away from the mission and went north alone, acting separately from us. ”
"It seems?" Wang Shoufu squinted, with a slightly questioning tone.
This is Xu Yingong's inference, not a humble position. Chen Zhutou clenched his fists and emphasized.
Wang Shoufu nodded slowly, the doubts in his eyes dissipated, and he seriously thought about the reason why the barbarians robbed the princess.
Seeing this, Chen Zhutou continued: "Then we arrived in Chuzhou City, because of Que Yongxiu's obstruction, we found nothing for many days. Until that day..........."
In Chen Zhutou's narration, Wang Shoufu learned about the earth-shattering battle that took place in Chuzhou City that day.
After a long silence, Wang Shoufu said: "In this process, where is Xu Yingong?"
When he asked this sentence, his eyes were looking at Dali Temple.
Dali Temple comprehends the mind and makes a way:
Xu Yinluo infiltrated the northern realm alone, cooperated with Li Miaozhen, the holy daughter of Tianzong, and found the only survivor, Zheng Bu's political envoy. When there was a great battle in the city, he should have just been separated from Zheng Bu's political envoy. ”
Wang Shoufu let out an "um" and looked at Chen Zhutou: "What speculation does Xu Yingong have about the identity of that mysterious master?"
Lord Shoufu attaches great importance to Xu Qi'an's inference, and when I mentioned the matter of the princess just now, as soon as I said that it was Xu Yinluo's speculation, he no longer questioned it......... Chen Zhutou replied:
Referring to the mysterious master, Xu Yinluo said with a sneer at that time. ”
Including Wang Shoufu, the officials present immediately looked at Chen Zhutou.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhutou whispered: "Xu Yinluo said: The princes above the temple are full of demons and monsters. ”
This sentence was undoubtedly disrespectful to the adults present, so Chen Zhutou lowered his head, not daring to speak again, nor daring to look at the expressions of Shoufu and the adults.
What Xu Qi'an meant by this, he suspected that the mysterious master was a person in the court, or had something to do with someone in the court......... Sun Shangshu's heart was terrified, and he was a little creepy.
He has been a eunuch for many years, and he thinks that he has a very clear view of the situation in the court and the people in the court.
But Sun Shangshu had just gone through it in his mind, who could "drive" such a top master?
Xu Qi'an just said this, which means that he has a considerable degree of certainty, but he is only sure that the mysterious master is involved with people in the court, and he can't confirm who it is........ Wang Shoufu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of Xu Erlang, Simu and him had a good impression of each other, maybe they could test Xu Qi'an through Xu Erlang.
"Could it be Wei Yuan?" Dali Siqing said in a low voice.
Wang Shoufu and Sun Shangshu's faces changed slightly, while the other officials, Chen Zhutou, Dali Sicheng and others, showed a confused look.
Wei Yuan is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't know why Dali Siqing said this.
"It's obviously impossible. Dali Siqing then shook his head.
What he meant was that Wei Yuan had never left the capital, and he was still attending a small court meeting in the imperial study a few days ago. And with the familiarity of the court princes and His Majesty with Wei Yuan, there is no such thing as others being replaced.
Some people can imitate Wei Yuan's face, and some people can imitate Wei Yuan's face, but they can't imitate Wei Yuan's taste.
"Why hasn't the cabinet received the documents from the mission?" Wang Shoufu looked at Dali Temple.
The latter arched his hand and said: "The mission believes that this matter should not be passed on urgently. This will give His Majesty time to think about how to exonerate King Zhenbei. ”
The mission has seen His Majesty, but I still haven't heard from it, which means that His Majesty has issued a gag order......... Wang Shoufu sneered and said:
"In this way, Your Majesty will not be helpless?"
He laughed at the not-so-clever countermeasures of the people in the mission, and sighed, "In this case, the identity of the mysterious master does not need to be taken care of for the time being. It should be considered what we are going to achieve with it. And, how to deal with it. ”
A six-rank official said in a deep voice: "The king of Zhenbei slaughtered 380,000 people in Chuzhou City, if this matter is not handled well, we will definitely be recorded in history and left a stench for 10,000 years." ”
Another official added: "Forcing Your Majesty to convict the king of Zhenbei is not only worthy of the sage books we have read, but also to make a name for yourself, killing two birds with one stone." ”
The last official said expressionlessly: "This official is not for anything else, but for the will in his heart." ”
These officials should have come to me by Zheng Xinghuai through running.......... Wang Shoufu let out a breath and said:
"Quickly go to inquire and verify the news, and when the time on duty is up, go and unite with the princes and enter the palace to face the saint together." ”
.............
Just after lunch, under the leadership of Wang Shoufu, the ministers gathered to the north gate of the imperial study, but were stopped by Yu Linwei.
It seems that such a scene has been expected for a long time, and a checkpoint has been set up at the entrance of the palace in advance, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, and the ministers were not surprised to be stopped outside.
"Get out, we're going to see you. ”
"The king of Zhenbei is mad and innocent, but the matter after his death has not yet been decided. We will avenge the 380,000 people of Chuzhou City. ”
Some officials shouted loudly, and justice was awe-inspiring, as if it was the embodiment of justice.
"As a prince, it is not a pity to slaughter the people and die. King Huai should be demoted to a commoner, expose the corpse wilderness, and give an explanation to the world. ”
The crowd was excited, and the well-dressed beasts wearing various official robes began to rush into the level.
"Presumptuous!"
Commander Yulinwei glared at the ministers and scolded loudly, "If you dare to be good at the palace, you will be killed!"
"Phew!"
The gray-haired political envoy Zheng Bu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at him, not only was he not afraid, but he was angry: "The old man is standing here today, and he has the courage to slash me." ”
Captain Yulin Wei avoided the spurting phlegm, and his scalp was numb.
He really didn't dare to draw a knife to cut people, although trespassing on the palace is a capital crime, but the rules are the rules, and the reality is the reality. In the past, there were also examples of the ministers being angry and breaking into the palace.
The correct thing to do is to stop them desperately, and would rather be beaten than really draw a knife against these old Confucians, otherwise the end will be miserable.
Who are these people in front of you?
When the first assistant of the dynasty, the six Shangshu, the squire, the Hanlin Academy Qinggui, the six departments to the middle of the matter......... These are the people who describe them.
Fortunately, the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is okay to block these old things, and they are spit, kicked, and slapped, but they don't take half a step back.
It's just that what makes people headache is that the more Yu Linwei refuses to give in half-step, the more violent the civil officials are. At first, there were more than a dozen bigwigs in the court making trouble, and gradually, other minor officials in the imperial city yamen also joined in the fun.
There was a commotion at the city gate, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
At this moment, an elegant carriage stopped in the distant street, and the curtain of the door was lifted, and a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth came out.
"Jiro ......."
A woman's gentle voice came from inside the carriage, and Wang Simu poked out her beautiful face and said in a low voice: "Although this move will offend Your Majesty, it is a good opportunity for you to truly make a name for yourself." Besides, the adults who gathered at the palace gate didn't have such thoughts.
"Although you can speak freely, if you can let the government and the opposition praise you, let my father change his opinion of you, why can't you be prosperous in the future?"
After many deliberate spreads, in the Yamen of the Imperial City, everyone knows about the slaughter of the city by the king of Zhenbei.
After Wang Simu heard about it, he gave Xu Erlang advice and suggested that he should also come to mix.
What does your father have to do with me or not....... Xu Erlang muttered in his heart, and said: "I didn't come here to make a name for myself, but for the belief in my heart and for the people." ”
Wang Simu smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Xu Erlang stammer: "Big, big brother?!"
Miss Wang was taken aback, lifted the curtain a little, and followed Xu Erlang's gaze, not far away, Xu Qi'an, who was wearing a silver gong suit, came slowly.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Xu Erlang was taken aback.
"Why are you here?" Xu Qi'an asked rhetorically, turned his head, and glanced at Wang Simu lightly.
The latter reluctantly gave a polite smile and quickly lowered the curtain.
Xu Qi'an took off the saber, slapped Xu Erlang's buttocks, and said angrily: "Xu Ci, you are amazing." The eldest brother is still alone, and he is worried that he can't marry a daughter-in-law, so it's better for you to hook up with the little lady of the Wang family. ”
"Big brother is talking nonsense," Xu Erlang was a little angry, a little embarrassed, blushing, and said:
"Miss Wang and I met friends with poetry, talked about the past and the present, and were gentlemen's friends. ”
How is the friendship of gentlemen used? Is it a friendship of Bao Bao......... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, "Let's talk about her business when I go home, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Xu Erlang's face was serious: "I just heard that the mission returned to Beijing and brought back the bones of the king of Zhenbei, as well as his selfish desires, promoted to the second rank, and slaughtered the city." Big brother, you tell me, is it true?"
Xu Qi'an restrained his posture and nodded silently.
Xu Erlang's heart ached, he staggered back two steps, and his eyes instantly turned red.
He didn't believe it, but the scene in front of him, the insults from the civil officials, and the words of the eldest brother were telling him that everything was a bloody fact.
Xu Qi'an patted the little brother on the shoulder and looked at the ministers: "Look at the meaning of the one in the palace, it seems that he doesn't want to convict the king of Zhenbei." The pen of the civil official is powerful, but this mouth is almost meaningless. ”
"Big brother, you wait, I'll come when I go. ”
380,000 lives, slaughtering their own people, throughout the history books, there are very few people who are so ruthless and cruel..........
Finally, when he came to the crowd, Xu Xinnian was angry, his face was slightly hideous, and he shouted angrily: "Wait for the dodge!"
The noise suddenly died down, and the scene was silent.
The civil officials frowned and turned around, and it turned out to be the Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy.
In the minds of many people, they unconsciously recall the scene of the Buddha Gate Fighting Method, Xu Ci Old Words Sharp and angry, and the Buddha Gate Pure Dust Master was furious.
The crowd silently dodged out of the way.
Wang Shoufu tilted his head slightly, looked at Xu Xinnian expressionlessly, although his expression was cold, he did not take his eyes off, as if he was expecting him.
Xu Xinnian turned a deaf ear to the eyes around him, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Now I heard that King Huai, for his own selfishness, slaughtered the city and exterminated the species, the mother, and the displeasure of the mother, so I came here to .........."
Time passed minute by minute, the sun gradually moved westward, and at the gate of the palace, only Xu Erlang's voice was gradually left.
This scolding lasted for two whole hours.
And the scolding is very level, he scolds in classical Chinese, dictates the text on the spot, he quotes classic sentences and scolds, reciting them backwards, he turns around and scolds, he scolds in the vernacular, and he scolds in a weird way.
The richness of the vocabulary is staggering. But it also avoids the sensitive point of the royal family very well, and does not leave a handle.
The civil officials gathered more and more, from the old ministers to the upstarts, and Xu Erlang's eyes were full of reverence.
Eyes!
If there is a subject in the imperial court that scolds people in the examination school, they are willing to call the New Year the champion.
Even Wang Shoufu, who has experienced decades of verbal criticism in the court, has the idea of "bringing this son under his command, and there will be no rival in the court's oral struggle" at this moment.
Yu Linwei lowered his head one by one when he was scolded, his face was full of decadence, and he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, hoping that this guy would leave soon.
"Lord Xu, Runrun Tea ......."
A civil official served tea, and in the past two hours, Xu Xinnian has moistened his throat several times.
The civil officials willingly served him tea and poured water, only begging him to continue, if Lord Xu left because of thirst, it would be a huge loss for them.
Xu Xinnian took a sip, handed back the teacup, and was about to continue to speak,
"Shut up, don't scold anymore, don't scold anymore........."
At this time, the old eunuch rushed out with a group of eunuchs in a hurry.
"You, you........ You are simply presumptuous, Dafeng has been established for 600 years, how can you be like this, blocked outside the palace gate, and a scolding is two hours?"
Xu Xinnian said lightly: "Father-in-law, don't talk to me, this official is the most disgusted with nonsense." ”
The sharp-minded civil official almost couldn't hold back his laughter, the corners of Wang Shoufu's mouth twitched, as if he didn't want to see Xu Xinnian continue to offend the big companion beside Emperor Yuan Jing, so he immediately came out of the queue and said in a deep voice:
"Would you like to see us, Your Majesty?"
The old eunuch nodded and said, "Your Majesty said, I saw Lord Shoufu, and the rest of the people retreated quickly, and they were not allowed to gather at the gate of the palace." ”
The civil officials were quite excited, their faces were happy, and for a while, when they looked at Xu Xinnian, there was more recognition and appreciation that they had not had before.
