Chapter 107: Dare to Ask the Holy Lord
The hall was so silent for a while that only the sound of breathing remained, and the news was so shocking that no one could react immediately. What was the matter with the monks? Why did all the people who were visited end up like this? Did they anticipate this outcome or did they cause it? Immortals or calamities? All kinds of questions appeared in the minds of the officials in the main hall.
Everyone stared at Zhang Xiang, hoping that Zhang Xiang could answer these questions and ignore the saint in the main hall. Zhang Xiang wanted such an effect, and he stood up and handed the music in his sleeve to the chamberlain.
"What evidence does Zhang Xiang have? If there is no conclusive evidence, there is no evidence, I can't make an order to arrest people based on Zhang Xiang's words alone. The Holy Lord took the recital but did not open it, for it seemed to him that these things had happened for too long, and it was impossible to find anything.
"Qiqi Sheng, some incidents have happened for too long, and you can only know one or two things from the old man's mouth, but in the past twenty years, there have been many witnesses who can prove the existence of demon monks and monks. Moreover, the minister also found that most of the people who were raided in the end had been treated by this demon monk to take in apprentices, hehe, if they visited at most, they would be in the middle of the road, which was much better than being treated with medicine, I don't know how many of my colleagues in the hall had been visited by wandering monks and Taoist priests. "There was a commotion in the hall again.
At this time, the world is peaceful, there is no famine or military disaster, most people are very generous, if there are any Taoist priests or monks who come to the door to turn their fortunes, there are not many and no less, they will take out silver taels or food to do some kindness. Zhang Xiang's question swept the people in the hall in.
"Enlighten the Holy One, this matter must be strictly investigated. Xungui's representative Beijing King jumped out first, his wife is a believer in Buddhism, and there are monks or Taoist priests who come to turn into fate all year round.
The ministers seconded. Several princes behind him also stood up, and they also gave alms from time to time for the sake of good names, how could they know if there were any demon monks mixed in.
The ministers seconded. The officials in the hall said in unison, joking, this is not a trivial matter, it is a matter of family life, not a time to take into account the interests of that party.
Zhang was so desperate that he gave Jia Yu six days to report to the saint, in fact, he also gave the saint a few days to react, even if he just sent someone to inform him, but the saint knew that the Zhang family was on the list, but he still didn't move. Zhang Xiang's heart was cold, he knew that the saint had made up his mind to let those two demon monks deal with the Zhang family.
How ungrateful and mean this thing is, he has been an official for decades, not to mention how much he has made great contributions to the Dakang Dynasty, just with his decades of hard work, he should not get this miserable ending, right? Not counting him, there are dozens of officials on the list, not to mention those who have violated the law, most of them have also contributed to the imperial court, and the saint has no intention of avenging them at all, so cold!
Since the Holy Lord had no intention of pursuing this matter for them and wanted them to fend for themselves, Zhang Xiang had to come by himself, and he didn't need to unite so many officials in the court, so the people sent by the Holy Lord to supervise him did not find that Zhang Xiang had any connections with other families. Zhang Xiang knew that as long as he stood up and told the matter, the people in the hall would stand aside with him, and General Xia really happened to collide with Zhang Xiang.
The saint was blue and did not speak, Zhang Xiang knew that the saint could not get off the stage, so he could only stand up and speak.
"I implore the Holy Majesty to arrest these two demon monks and demons who intend to reverse the Great Kang Dynasty. ”
The saint was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Zhang Xiang's words are too alarmist, right, just that one monk and one Taoist priest can turn the Great Kang Dynasty upside down?"
A small number of officials in the main hall shook their heads slightly, they hoped that the imperial court would arrest these two people, but Zhang Xiang's excuse was too absurd.
Zhang Xiang shook his head: "What the minister said is true, and there is no false meaning." After a pause: "Dare to ask the Holy Lord, what is the most important thing to govern a country?"
"If the saint is the head of the Dakang Dynasty, then the officials are the limbs of the Dakang Dynasty, if only the head has no limbs, the Dakang Dynasty cannot move. Now some people are trying to deal with the limbs of the Dakang Dynasty, and the Dakang Dynasty without the limbs can only be slaughtered by others. So dare to ask the saint, what is wrong with the minister saying that this demon monk and demon Dao intends to reverse the Dakang Dynasty?" Zhang Xiang continued without waiting for the saint to answer.
Zhang Xiang still tried his last effort, hoping to take this opportunity to make the saint not target the family. It's a pity that the saint is not ordinary stubborn.
"Bumping" the holy mountain hand on the handle of the dragon chair, the whole person stood up.
"You are so daring, you actually said that the Dakang Dynasty was slaughtered by others!" failed to comprehend Zhang Xiang's painstaking sage, in fact, Zhang Xiang's sage didn't listen to it at all, and only thought that Zhang Xiang was threatening him.
The accusation of the Holy One was very heavy, and the main hall was immediately full of kneeling people, and the only one standing was the Holy One.
"I don't dare. Zhang Xiang naturally knelt down, but he looked indifferent, mourning more than death, he turned from cold to dead, he said so much, the saint only heard this sentence.
"Why don't Zhang Xiang dare, Zhang Lian and all the ministers of the DPRK and China dare to unite to put pressure on me, what else does Zhang Xiang dare not do?" Shengshan spit out all his dissatisfaction, what he didn't like the most was that the ministers formed a party for personal gain, Zhang Xiang's actions today completely annoyed him.
"The minister has no such intention, the minister is just thinking about the court, and he has no half-heartedness. ”
"I didn't do it with any intention, what would you do if you wanted to?" said the Holy Lord.
"The minister begged the saint to let the minister return to his hometown. Zhang Xiang took off his official hat and put it on the ground respectfully, and then the whole person knelt on the ground, and the officials behind him felt sad for a while.
Although Zhang Xiang has not catered to the saint since his accession to the throne, he has played the role of a lubricant between the saint and the family, and I don't know how many times the friction between the saint and the family has disappeared without a trace, which is obvious to everyone, only the saint has included Zhang Xiang in the family from the beginning, and listed Zhang Xiang as one of the targets of the attack.
looks at Zhang Xiang's every move with suspicion, thinking that everything Zhang Xiang does is for the sake of the family, and the longer the dissatisfaction with Zhang Xiang, the more accumulated.
"You're threatening me again!" "Just a few years after the saint ascended the throne, Zhang Xiang, an old minister left by the emperor, was driven away, which is not good for the reputation of the saint. The prejudice of the saint made him think that Zhang Xiang was threatening him by telling him to return to his hometown.
