Chapter 5 The White Lady

"Chen Baiyi, you said that the weak are all vassals of the strong, I think you are faint!" Chen Sancai said coldly, "I don't know that my Tang Dynasty is built by countless weak people, so as to prosper." Isn't it ridiculous that you, as the prime minister of a country and above 10,000 people, are now trumpeting the law of the jungle! How can a strong person be strong for a lifetime!"

Except for a few officials, most of the others kept their heads down, not daring to interject, or even to make eye contact.

"You're right, but you don't need a hat. Chen Baiyi smiled and shook his head gently, "Old Shangshu, this time is different from the past. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, Datang is thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the weak become stronger, and the strong become stronger. So Lao Shangshu, you are going around and around, and you still haven't said the role of this world of great controversy for the people. ”

Chen Sancai snorted coldly and did not answer.

It seems that Chen Sancai is still such a paranoid old man......

Emperor Chen Ruo smiled and said, "Yes, Chen Shangshu, don't avoid this question. Tell me what is at stake. ”

There are twists and turns in this, Chen Ruoshang has already thought about it, why do you need Chen Sancai to talk about it?

He is nothing more than to stimulate this old Shangshu who is getting older and "younger".

Since Chen Sancai sat in the position of the secretary of the ministry, decades have passed, the emperor has changed for one term, and the prime minister does not know how many times he has changed, and he is still in the same place.

Chen Sancai was forced to come out of the ranks, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister hasn't thought about it yet...... him

His facial muscles stiffened, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he must have regretted his reckless and thoughtless actions.

The older Chen Sancai gets, the more unwilling he is to let go of some things. Such as status, partisanship, power......

"Then you go back to the column first, Bai Yiqing, please continue. Chen Ruo sighed lightly, very lightly, but falling on Chen Sancai's ears was tantamount to thunder.

At this moment, his waist, which had been straightened, seemed to bend a little, and he lost a sense of energy.

Sometimes, people will suddenly burst the embankment because of a small thing, and the accumulated emotions will burst.

Chen Baiyi tidied up his shirt, and now things have entered a consistent rhythm.

He said slowly, "First of all, we must make this matter known to the world and publicize it widely. ”

"This ......"

The ministers took a breath of cold air, Chen Baiyi is going to subvert the people's consistent concept!

"I can't agree with this, the existence of the Han Empire was to stabilize the people's hearts and minds, and the news was blocked. Now that this news is thrown out, it is even more shocking, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos - not everyone can think calmly. ”

Chen Baiyi looked at the source of the voice and said with a smile, "Brother Guangnan, what you said is true, but listen to me word by word." ”

It was Zhao Guangnan, the secretary of Dali Temple, who stood up against Chen Baiyi's first sentence.

However, I don't know why the prime minister called his opponent so close, and the ministers began to speculate wildly in their hearts.

Could it be that they have joined forces to deal with Chen Sancai?

"Directly informing the people of this news, without buffering, is tantamount to exposing the mushrooms that have been in the dark for a long time to the midday sun

。 Then I, Chen Baiyi, will really become the culprit of the chaos in the world, and I will be infamous in history!"

"It's good that you know. Chen Sancai snorted coldly and said a word.

Chen Baiyi ignored it and continued, "First of all, let the literati take some responsibility. ”

Literati, Responsibility? Chen Baiyi's point of view this time has been refreshing to many people.

Because unless it is an official's literary way, a simple literati has always been associated with debauchery and affection.

If it can be normal, it is blessed by heaven, let alone let it take on any responsibility.

"A lot of apocryphal fiction is full of drama, strange things, and poems, and tries to get as close as possible to the direction of the Three Thousand Worlds. In that way, even if the existence of so many worlds is confirmed one day, it will not cause unprecedented waves. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Chen Sancai squinted at him, his eyes full of doubt and disdain.

"It's that simple!"

Chen Baiyi's smile was full of confidence.

Even if his view is extremely bold and unreliable, the inertia of trust has made many officials subconsciously agree with his idea.

"What about Zhao Qing?" Chen Ruo was asking Zhao Guangnan, the secretary of Dali Temple, for his opinion.

Zhao Guangnan thought for a moment and asked, "Then why do you have to inform the people that you can't keep blocking it?" Just like the existence of the Han Empire, several months have passed, and there is not the slightest rumor among the people, which shows the feasibility. ”

"Paper can't keep the fire, a new generation of people for the old, sooner or later more people will know. Brother Guangnan, you don't have to pretend to be short-sighted. Your Majesty has said that now it is just a discussion, not a political discussion. ”

I believe in your word to have a ghost!

Zhao Guangnan, who was exposed, didn't know what to do, so he could only respond hastily, and then return to the queue.

Why is Chen Baiyi so unconventional today, and he has uncovered the disguised masks of the two bigwigs in a row?

Many officials smelled the slightest hint of an accident.

"Then what's next?" Chen Ruo was noncommittal about Chen Baiyi's opinion and continued to ask.

"The next step is to move forward according to the established plan and not be affected by this so-called 'world of great contention'. However, it is necessary to have a good relationship with many realms.

"According to King Ding's news, there are nearly twenty Dao realms summoned back by the Heavenly Dao this time, and even increasing. How they view the world is extremely important. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has only been one Dao Realm in Yuzhongge, and there are still two ancestors of the barbarian tribe alive. The disadvantages are self-evident. ”

"If they're fluttering, that's great. We accelerated the withdrawal of troops to help the victims in various places. ”

Although the idea is somewhat rudimentary, the general outline and guidelines have been given, and the specific implementation only needs to be perfected by the officials below.

For a while, no one objected to his opinion, so the meeting continued downward, and it was time to speak freely.

"Zhu Aiqing has something to do, and has nothing to retreat from. Chen Ruo said lazily.

He also said this sentence according to the procedure, because there was no recital last night, that is, there was no one to speak in this session.

It seems to be free to speak, but in fact, it needs to be reviewed by the bigwigs before it can be "free".

"Weichen Qiuchen has something to do. ”

Well?

Chen Ruo's half-closed eyes opened, and his sharp eyes looked at the person who spoke without permission.

Not only Chen Ruo, but also the big guys in front of the queue were taken aback and turned their heads to look.

Qiu Chengen, the head of the household, is a colleague in the same position as Li Wei. According to rumors in Beijing, because of Li Wei, he took the big tree of Chen Baiyi, and now he is mixing well.

Now he suddenly spoke, what was he going to do?

I saw Qiu Chengen's heavy footsteps, and he walked out of the queue step by step, and said to the emperor, "Weichen is bold and vain, and he doesn't dare to go up and down, so as to prevent him from staying in the middle, and he only dares to speak up what he thinks in the court meeting today." ”

"Qiu Qing, but it's okay to talk about it. Chen Ruo realized something, felt that there would be a good show, sat up straight, and said with interest.

Qiu Chengen's head was still tightly pressed against his hand, and his hand was squeezed by the ground and his head to the point that he lost his blood.

"Wechen wants to impeach one person. ”

"Who?"

Sure enough, there is a big deal!

I don't know who this novice in Chen Baiyi wants to arrest? For a while, all the officials of the court meeting were in danger.

"Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Baiyi. ”

Word by word, as if with the power of a thousand jun, the entire court meeting was silenced.

Chen Ruo tilted his head, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and said, "Who?"

"Chen, white, clothes. Under one person, the Tang Dynasty above 10,000 people. Wechen wants to impeach him for seven deadly sins. ”

Qiu Chengen straightened up, as if full of righteousness.

"I didn't expect that your cultivation is still rare righteousness, and I am a little interested in what you said. ”

If the righteousness of Wendao does not really have great ideals, no one will choose to cultivate, and almost everyone chooses the heroic qi.

Therefore, everyone also had an initial impression of Qiu Chengen, a gentleman with great ambitions.

"The first is arrogance and indulgence. ”

"The second is to let go of the open. ”

"The third is the holding of authority. ”

......

After saying seven articles in a row, Qiu Chengen has not stopped his elaboration.

Each of them is stated, well-reasoned, impassioned, and eloquent, so that everyone is somewhat convinced.

Chen Baiyi stood there with his eyes closed, with his back to him, without speaking, nor rebutting, nor showing his momentum.

It was as if Qiu Chengen was talking about someone else, and he didn't even speak.

The more Chen Ruo listened, the tighter his hands clenched.

When Qiu Chengen's last sentence "Strip his position, remove his flesh and bones, and steal his family property" fell, he was furious, "How can this be reasonable!"

"How dare you slander my Tang Dynasty like this! Someone, drag him down, put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for his fate!"

The guard strode over and wanted to drag Qiu Chengen away, but he broke free from the guard's hold with all his strength.

He said loudly, "What Weichen said, every word is true, but if there is any falsehood, I am willing to end my name and leave a stench for ten thousand years! The emperor must not listen to the villain's slander to misunderstand the Tang Dynasty!"

With that, he shed two lines of blood and tears, and fell straight forward.

The guard went up and touched it, with a surprised expression on his face, and knelt down and said to the emperor, "Emperor."

, the man has committed suicide. ”

"Bad luck. Chen Ruo frowned, "What do you think of Bai Yiqing?"

"He is a loyal man, but he was blinded and deserved a thick burial. Chen Baiyi finally spoke.

Could it be that this white-clothed minister is building momentum for himself?

But he's already a great minister, and this move won't do him any good!

Chen Ruo nodded, quickly regained his composure, and said, "Bai Yiqing is right. In this way, Qiu Qing's body will be buried alive and posthumously crowned Dr. Guanglu. This matter was handled by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Yes. "The Ministry of Rites is still in order.

Chen Ruo was expressionless until the end, and no one dared to approach even after the meeting dispersed.

He walked towards the Suzaku Gate step by step, and there were no companions around.

Walking to the middle of the square, he finally glanced back at the Hall of All Things, and then sighed deeply.

It's getting colder.

......

The Temple of All Things.

The doors and windows of the temple were closed, and there was some darkness inside.

The attendants were also driven out by the emperor.

Chen Ruo looked at the flickering candlelight on the table, and said softly, "Chen Baiyi, ......"
