Chapter 63: The Beginning of the Bureau

At the beginning of the early dynasty, all the courtiers slowly entered the palace, but the sharp-eyed people immediately saw that the number of people in the early dynasty was obviously much smaller, and many courtiers were sick at home.

Although there are fewer people, there are more familiar faces, most of them are elderly, and those who can recognize all these faces are probably only the first and auxiliary ministers Zhang Rang, who has been in the center for decades, and the rest of the courtiers can only recognize one or two of them.

As soon as he saw these old ministers, Zhang Rang had a headache. These people are either Qing officials who are idle at home, or they are nobles from all walks of life who are not very involved in the imperial court, and the purpose of participating in today's early court is also self-evident, but is it necessary for so many high-ranking courtiers to gather together to make a fuss? The impeachment of Mo Tongshan, the king of Xiliang, is certain, but in Zhang Rang's view, it is suspected of forcing the palace.

Isn't that adding to the chaos?

Originally, Zhang Rang had already calculated at this time, and many courtiers were also under his instructions today, just to reduce the pressure on the saints. At this time, if he alone is sparse, and a few courtiers echo a few words, then the faces of both sides can also look better, Mo Tongshan will not be angry, and the emperor can also follow this step to only denounce Mo Tongshan a few words, and then say the last sentence: The prince is the pillar of the country, and I can't bear to be punished.

As for leaving Motongshan in Kyoto, it is necessary to decide which can be decided in an early dynasty.

And these loyal courtiers just came to cause trouble! If nothing else, dozens of impeachment recitals sounded in the hall, not to mention what the consequences would be if Mo Tongshan was provoked, and where would the saint go? Ask the emperor to tear his face with the king of Xiliang in person? Force the saint to put the king of Liang Mo Tongshan in prison? If he was really forced to that part, the saint would have to put Mo Tongshan in the prison of the criminal department, and when that time came, these courtiers would know how brave the Xiliang iron cavalry was.

"A bunch of fools!" Zhang Rang's voice was like a mosquito's chirping, but he still let Mo Tongshan beside him listen to it.

Mo Tongshan smiled and said: "It seems that Lord Zhang can't impeach this king this time, maybe he will have to defend this king." ”

Zhang Rang scolded secretly in his heart, but still said with a smile on his face: "The prince is the pillar of the country, holding 200,000 border troops, how can these peace officials understand the loyalty of the country and the people? ”

Zhang Rang said how hypocritical and hypocritical he was, but he still underestimated Mo Tongshan's face, as soon as he heard this, Mo Tongshan immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube and said with compassion: "This king thought that the world was full of stupid people, who would have thought that there would be such an understanding person as Lord Zhang, I am not alone! I miss my ancestors to be loyal to the country, and the Liang kings of the past generations have guarded the frontier and experienced the wind, sand and cold, for what? Isn't it for my Great Wu Dynasty and for my Great Wu Dynasty and thousands of people!"

The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and Zhang Rang found that although he had lived for more than twenty years, he still had some gaps in terms of face alone, but fortunately he kept his mouth shut, looking at his nose and nose and heart.

"Lord Zhang, this king is suffering and can't say it......" Mo Tongshan just wanted to continue to complain, but a loud "Your Majesty is in the court" interrupted his voice.

A rush of footsteps came, and Zhou Qi did not walk to the dragon chair in the hall, but walked straight to Mo Tongshan's side.

"Hahaha, Aiqing went back to Beijing to report on his work, why didn't he deliver a letter in advance, the dignified prince, he didn't even have a guard of honor when he entered Beijing, doesn't this make the world laugh at me stingy?" Zhou Qi laughed.

Mo Tongshan was just about to kneel, Zhou Qi grabbed Mo Tongshan and said with a smile: "King Liang, the last time I entered Beijing, you and I were still young, and we haven't seen each other for many years, but I have a lot of things to say to Aiqing. ”

Without waiting for Mo Tongshan and the courtiers to react, Zhou Qi had already pulled Mo Tongshan into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty retreats!" Qu Li's loud voice sounded, and all the ministers stood in place in a daze.

"Your Majesty is clever!" Zhang Rang smacked his lips and said in his heart.

Since he had already retired from the court, Zhang Rang said loudly: "Colleagues, since Your Majesty has retired from the court, why is he still standing in the same place?"

As soon as Zhang Rang left, many courtiers also left the hall.

Inner Sanctum.

Mo Tongshan said to Zhou Qi with a sad face: "Your Majesty, minister, you have the emperor's grace, Yinzhou sandbanks have all fallen, minister, guilty!"

Zhou Qi naturally wouldn't let Mo Tongshan really fall to his knees, and hurriedly helped Mo Tongshan up, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, what's the trouble with this? Those courtiers don't understand, I haven't woken up yet? Xiqiang gathered 200,000 troops, and suddenly made it difficult to attack the edge, even if Xiliang Iron Cavalry was brave, how could he defeat the enemy army several times his own? In my opinion, instead of gathering Aiqing's crime of losing the city and losing the land, it is better to think about how to get back the lost land!"

Mo Tongshan squeezed out two tears, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, and said compassionately: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

While walking, Zhou Qi said: "These courtiers are too, they have been gathering Aiqing's sins, and if they really want to put you in prison, what should I do on the northwest border of Dawu? Except for Aiqing, who can command those 200,000 arrogant soldiers?"

Mo Tongshan fell to his knees with a thud and said in a deep voice: "Minister, ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhou Qi's eyes shook a little, and after a little hesitation, he still picked up Mo Tongshan and said solemnly: "Aiqing...... But don't let down the royal favor, don't live up to the brotherhood between the ancestral emperor and the first generation of King Liang!"

The two walked slowly to the apse, both silent, each with their own plans.

Xiangzhou, Xiangyang County, Xiliang County Lord's Mansion.

According to the grade, the lord of Xiliang County is the history of Xiangzhou Thorn who has to bow down and bow when he sees it, which can be regarded as a real noble. It stands to reason that such a noble person should be a city on weekdays, and there is an endless stream of officials, but in fact, this county lord's mansion has never been visited, not to mention how Xiliang's unsubservient heart was scolded by the literati, just say that the county lord of Xiliang is a monstrous cultivation, and no one dares to touch its edge.

No one knew why Mo Zi, the county lord of Xiliang, wanted to establish the Xiangzhou Mansion, and some treacherous officials and courtiers secretly speculated, saying that the county lord was the proton that King Liang put in the Central Plains.

There are always some people who really believe in such words, especially some military generals who are not familiar with political affairs, thinking that this county lord is a Xiliang proton, so they invited to the army to deter one or two, but after the county lord came to the military camp fifty miles on horseback, he blasted the main general who invited her into meat sauce without saying a word, and immediately silenced many small officials who wanted to calculate one or two, and since then he has avoided this county lord with martial arts like a snake and scorpion.

The military is still like this, not to mention those civil officials who can't lift their shoulders and can't pick them, and they are even more afraid of them, so as long as some literati who are not experienced in the world can still come and have the courage to spit in front of the county lord's mansion, as for its fate, there is no need to say much, I haven't heard of a scholar who has lived for half a month.

So no one dared to come to the entire county lord's mansion, and from the outside, this county lord's mansion looked like a ghost courtyard.

But in the end, it is still in the eyes of outsiders, but they don't know that there is still laughter in the county lord's mansion.

Although Mo Zi is the lord of the county, he is still very easy-going with his subordinates, and never beats or scolds his subordinates, even if any maid breaks the dishes, that is, he will be fined a few days' wages, so the maids are never restrained in front of Mo Zi, and often joke with each other.

But today is different, after the county lord received a letter from Xiliang, his face has not been very good-looking, very cold, and all the maids dare not joke, working honestly, and the entire county lord's mansion fell into silence.

"Xiaoyu, these days, you come to the county lord's mansion, I'm going to the capital. "Mo Zi has two personal maids, one is named Puyu and the other is called Lianshuang.

"Yes. Puyu didn't say much, nodded yes,

"Xiaoshuang, pack up and go. Mo Zi's thick voice sounded, and Lian Shuang immediately withdrew from the door and did as the county lord ordered.

"Beijing...... The old guy can't let us save a little heart. Mo Zi said to herself.

At the same time, the capital.

Two Taoist priests in Tsing Yi entered the capital, their hair was white, and they looked very idle clouds and wild cranes in Tsing Yi, and they looked like they were Taoist masters with high Taoism.

After the two walked into the capital, they walked straight in the direction of Miyagi.

Half an hour later, at the gate of Miyagi Qintianjian, several guards were dozing.

In fact, I don't blame them, no one has ever been in the Qin Heavenly Prison, even the Qilinzi is rarely there, and there are not many palace people cleaning the entire Qin Heavenly Prison, these guards naturally seem to be simmering, just in the palace city, if they don't have the courage to do the pleasure of gambling money, they can only doze off, otherwise this long day will be really difficult.

When the two of them reached the door, none of the guards noticed, and the two frowned and walked straight through the door.

When he entered the gate of Qin Tianjian, Qilinzi stood in it, looking at the two of them with a smile: "Two Daoist brothers, what are you doing here?"

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I hope that Brother Dao will help me wait!"

Qilinzi turned around, turned his back to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, you two have never seen you." ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them said: "Mo Tongshan destroyed my Taoist Taoist system, although Brother Dao is a national teacher, he is still a Taoist lineage, can't he even help him?"

Qilinzi sighed and said slowly: "The two Dao brothers are too anxious, Xiliang's luck has not been broken, and Mo Tongshan's life should not be extinguished, this is definitely not a good time to make a move." ”

After saying that, Qilinzi was about to leave, and as soon as he took a pulse, Qilinzi turned around and glanced at the two of them coldly, and said solemnly: "I warn you, this matter can be regarded as invisible, but if you dare to spoil the luck of the dynasty, I Qilinzi will kill you at the ends of the world!"

After Qilinzi finished speaking, he dodged and disappeared in place.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the bitterness in the eyes of both parties.

"Senior brother, what should I do?" one of them asked first.

"Without the unicorn, it's difficult!"
