Chapter 635: The Demon Breeds Chaos in Xuchang (First Update)
The next day, Zhang Rang also had to go to court.
Because I heard that today the emperor wants to reward Zhang Rang.
But Zhang Rang knew that it was not the emperor who wanted to reward himself, it was that many ministers had told the emperor many times before, and in the end the emperor had no choice but to agree to this matter.
But after going to court, the emperor never said that he wanted to reward himself, but it was not easy for him to stand up and ask.
And just when Zhang Rang was still waiting, he suddenly heard a minister stand up.
"Your Majesty, someone has recently committed murder in Xuchang City. Such proud people still hope that His Majesty will order them to be dealt with. ”
The Emperor let out a soft sigh and asked, "Who?"
The minister glanced in the direction where Zhang Rang was, "This person is the head of the Twenty-Four Sword Division. This person took his female companion to dinner, injured people, and killed many people on the street. In the streets of Xuchang, many people have seen it. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rang smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
The Emperor let out another soft sigh.
However, there are many unusual meanings in this voice.
But the emperor did not look at Zhang Rang, but at Prime Minister Cao Cheng.
Prime Minister Cao Cheng naturally heard about this matter, after all, he was doing it on the street in Xuchang City, how could he, as the prime minister, not know such a thing.
So, Prime Minister Cao looked at Zhang Rang and wanted Zhang Rang to come out and explain.
Zhang Rang noticed that many people were looking at him, so he walked out and saluted the emperor.
"Emperor, the minister has his own music. Today, someone assassinated a court official on the street in Xuchang City, suspected of being an undercover agent in Xishu or Dongwu. The head of the thief is on the run, but because the person involved is an important minister in the court, so Weichen asked for help, and my emperor ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
You're too shameless!
When people say that you kill someone on the street, you bite back and say that someone else is an undercover agent.
Everyone else is the wicked and sue first, why are you so slow?
The emperor snorted coldly, "Zhang Aiqing, do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Rang nodded, "Back to the emperor, if the minister has no evidence, how can he make a move." The minister has been ordered to go undercover in the north for so many years, and this kind of undercover trick is the most clear to the minister. As long as my emperor gives an order, I will thoroughly investigate this matter on the twenty-four sword swords, and within ten days, I will definitely wipe out all the undercover agents!"
The emperor snorted coldly and looked at Sima Fengyi, "Lord Sima, what do you think about this matter?"
Sima Fengyi smiled faintly, this is not a river and lake, but a court.
In the affairs of the court, where can these martial artists fight themselves.
"Back to the emperor, this matter involves people from my Sima family, Weichen, and it is inconvenient to express my position. ”
The emperor nodded, and looked at Prime Minister Cao again, "What does Prime Minister Cao think?"
Prime Minister Cao Cheng's brows were furrowed.
In the past, anything above the court had to ask yourself first.
But now the emperor asked Sima Fengyi first, and then asked himself.
If you answer, it's as if your status is really lower than that of the other party.
"Since it is inconvenient for Lord Sima to express his position, then please ask Your Majesty to order that the Twenty-Four Sword Division will thoroughly investigate the matter of the Sima family's defection to the enemy and treason. Lord Sima suspended all his duties, and waited until the matter came to light, if the Sima family was innocent. When the time comes, Lord Sima will be reinstated. It doesn't matter if it's not innocent, anyway, there are many people in the court who can take the position of Lord Sima. ”
Before Prime Minister Cao Cheng could speak, Zhang Rang replied first.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
I've seen the pot, but I've never seen it so blatant.
Sima Fengyi was not afraid of danger, smiled coldly, and did not say anything.
Instead, the emperor slammed his face on the dragon chair.
"I'm the Son of Heaven, I can't stop anyone's position, and I don't need you to talk nonsense!"
Zhang Rang smiled coldly and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, you must not let go of those who defect to the enemy and treason because of small losses." The big man is the emperor's big man, and he is the big man of the world. Do not tolerate adultery. If the frontier soldiers learned that they had shed their blood for the country, but our emperor was appointing a traitorous villain, how chilling it would be. The officers and men of the whole army shed blood for Your Majesty, and I only hope that Your Majesty can rule for a thousand years, if you know that Your Majesty knows that the traitor is treason and ignores it, the air force will change its heart!"
Hear Zhang Rang's words, especially the last sentence.
The emperor's heart was shocked.
The four northern states have just been calmed down, but they also know that the entire north is all Prime Minister Cao's people.
And the forces in the rivers and lakes of the four northern states were basically suppressed by the Twenty-Four Sword Division.
If they really want to do something, I'm afraid it won't be difficult to depose themselves as emperors.
"Zhang Rang, do you know that what you are doing now is to slander the court officials. If the Sima family did not defect to the enemy and commit treason, you are guilty of false accusation. ”
Zhang Rang clenched his fist towards the emperor and arched his hand, "The minister guarantees his life with his net worth." If the Sima family is really innocent, the minister is willing to hand over the head of Xiang Shang!"
Hearing Zhang Rang's words, many people felt that this guy must be crazy.
But Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who was in the hall at the moment, knew that the Sima family was finished.
In fact, all along, Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not want to control the entire Han Dynasty, but the emperor was not angry, if the emperor himself really had the ability, why should he monopolize the power!
And the emperor knew all the small actions he made behind his back.
Even the rise of the Sima family did not stop it.
Just to reassure the emperor that only in this way can he do more.
Although the emperor is not young, he is still a child in terms of heart.
Many people feel that the rise of the Sima family has such a reason and that reason.
But Prime Minister Cao knew that if he didn't want to, then even if the ten Sima families were tied together, they would not be able to rise.
And now, the Sima family, which has just risen, has provoked Zhang Rang.
As a result, many people in the court did not expect it, and they all felt that Zhang Rang would inevitably not find anything.
can be Cao Cheng's understanding of Zhang Rang, I am afraid that when the people of the Sima family began to plan to deal with Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang was already ready to kill the entire Sima family first.
The emperor frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Zhang Rang to be so rigid.
However, I am also a little curious, where does Zhang Rang get his confidence.
In the emperor's view, the rise of the Sima family is the trend of the times.
And Zhang Rang, an emerging minister under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, will become the first victim of this competition between the emperor and the prime minister.
"Alright, I'll order you to investigate this matter. Merely...... Sima Aiqing is of great use to the state, so he will not suspend his post for the time being. ”
Zhang Rang clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Obey." ”
