Chapter 42 Entering the Kansai Away from right and wrong
"The direction of the north of the city is where the arsenal is located, but for no reason, why did it go on fire, it's really a bad omen!" Seeing that the fire was getting more and more fierce, Lin Yi looked at the fire in the northwest of the city and sighed.
"Your Highness, should we go and have a look?" Chen Wu asked.
"Forget it, although this king is heartbroken for those treasures of the past dynasties and the countless armor, but now his identity is special, except for staying in the palace honestly, he can't escape the suspicion of melon fields and plums anywhere, and this is the middle of the night, and it is the tongue of the person who is sympathetic. However, I have already thought of a good way to get out of this cage-like East Palace, away from this land of right and wrong in Luoyang City!" Lin Yi continued excitedly.
......
"Your Majesty, the micro-ministers were derelict in their duties, resulting in the burning of the treasures of the past dynasties and the equipment and armor of 2 million people stored in the arsenal, please ask the emperor to punish the crimes of the ministers!"
"Is this true or false, what should it be, please discuss with the ministers...... "Sima Zhen has been an emperor for more than five years, although he has no brains, he has also learned this way of being an emperor. His virtuous queen had already taught him a trick, "No matter what the problem, first push it to the ministers for discussion and discussion, and then push it to the ministers and concubines to decide, wouldn't the emperor have nothing to worry about!"
Weichen thought that Lord Zhang was loyal to his duties, and no matter what happened, the forbidden army would naturally take guarding the palace as the first priority. Jia Mo first expressed his opinion.
"Wei Chen thinks that Master Zhang is not only innocent, but also meritorious!"
"Weichen also thinks that Master Zhang is not guilty, but this fire broke out for no reason, we must find out clearly, find out the real culprit, and whether there is arson behind it!" Jia Mi also followed.
Zhang Hua is an official and cautious, and there are no political enemies in the DPRK and China, and he is usually well-liked, so once there is a difficulty, hundreds of officials naturally come forward to argue for him. Moreover, Zhang Hua is very valued by Empress Jia and is regarded by the government and the opposition as Empress Jia's confidant, so even if he is wrong, no one feels impeached for his crimes. A moment later, the imperial court had already issued an edict, and Lord Zhang was not only innocent, but also remembered that he was conscientious and meritorious to the imperial court, rewarded 10,000 pieces of silver and 100 pieces of cloth, and ordered him to find out the cause of the fire behind it within a time limit.
"If you have something to do, please play, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat!" This morning, the matter of the court has been dealt with, and Sima Zhen also yawned, signaling the eunuch next to him and shouting. The hundred officials in the palace are also ready to disperse and return home. It's just that Zhang Hua couldn't be happy, the country lost so many weapons and finances overnight, and he was still smiling from the king to the minister, how much he hoped that Emperor Hui would demote him and punish him.
"Erchen has a book to play!" suddenly a discordant voice sounded.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Prince? In the past year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cultivated virtue and made good progress, and the government and the opposition have praised him, but in the past month or two, he has fought openly and secretly with the queen several times, and a lot of discord has been put on the table.
"Who knows Lu Dao, I'm afraid that cultivating virtue and improving goodness is only on the surface, but secretly I don't know what Lu Dao has done, I heard that there are a lot of big markets outside the palace. Although there are fewer miscellaneous servants in the East Palace, they secretly collect a lot of delicate dolls and women, who are really squandering money, serving jade food, and being arrogant and lascivious. Empress Jia couldn't bear it anymore, so he closed his big city, and it was because of this matter that His Royal Highness always hated Empress Jia!"
Many ministers of the DPRK and China are whispering privately, some of them are praise, but most of them are malicious slander out of nothing. With Lin Yi's current cultivation, even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, all of them would fall into his ears.
"Shamen, tell me something!" Sima said impatiently. has been doing it for almost a morning, Sima Zhen has long been impatient, and he is already hungry, no one can stop him from going to eat in time, even if it is his own son, it is useless. The woman in palace clothes behind the bead curtain was also a little stunned, and couldn't help but straighten her body.
"Today, when the child heard about the fire in the arsenal, he was careless and sad, and he heard that Xirong had been in chaos recently, and the bandit leader Hao Duyuan led Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu tribes to rise up again, killing Zhang Jian in the north and defeating Feng Yi and Ouyang Jian. Guanzhong and Qiang were in turmoil, and Qin, Yong, Erzhou, and Qiang responded one after another, pushing Qi Wannian as the emperor and supporting 100,000 soldiers. Enter the siege of Jingyang (now northwest of Pingliang, Gansu) to deter Guanzhong. The children are willing to share the worries of their father and queen mother, take a healthy pawn, pacify Guanzhong, and exterminate the rebels. Lin Yi said eloquently.
The news that Hao Duyuan rebelled again, killed Zhang Yuan, and defeated Ouyang Jian had already come half a month ago, but the court had been arguing, and there was no suitable candidate for the general. Guanzhong Qiang and the clan have been in civil strife for a long time, intricate, but it is not a problem that can be solved in a moment and a half, and there is Sima Tong, the old prince, who is constrained by the old prince, and he can't let go of his hands and feet at all, so no one has asked for help, no one wants to get entangled in this muddy water, and get into this tiring and unflattering thing, and most of the people in this court are flatterers, and those old ministers of the early Sima clan who have real talent and real learning have long passed the age of sixties, and they are not suitable for wearing horses.
"The prince is the foundation of the country, and Guanzhong is always dangerous, and it must not be!" As soon as he heard the prince's words, the court and China really talked about it, and most of them shouted in small voices. Even Sima Zhen stood up in surprise, "Shamen, you are so stupid, you don't enjoy the blessings of the East Palace, and you actually want to drink the northwest wind in the wild land of Xirong!"
Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indispensable for this performance, and the minister is very happy for the future of the Great Jin. His Royal Highness is the prince, caring about the world, taking the lead, and going out to conquer with the golden body of the prince, Xirong is naturally afraid of his prestige, and the rebellion in Guanzhong is peaceful without a fight. This is one; His Royal Highness's filial piety is commendable, and Sima Tong, the king of Liang, has written many times that he is old, and he can't bear the dry and cold weather in Guanzhong, and prays to return to Luoyang for the elderly, His Royal Highness not only solves the worries of the emperor and queen, but also solves the worries of the old prince. This is the second; the civil strife in Guanzhong, although it is dangerous and abnormal, but the Qin and Han dynasties of the former capital of Chang'an are no less prosperous than Luoyang, as long as His Royal Highness is in the city of Chang'an, the former capital, send a fierce general to go on the expedition, strategize, win a thousand miles, and then make two strong guards to defend it, naturally sit back and relax. This is three. Jia Mi said suddenly. He has just been promoted to a servant not long ago, he holds real power and holds an important position in the imperial court, so he naturally wants to be an example for hundreds of officials and share worries for the emperor.
"Sima Shu, Sima Shu, are you really stupid, I'm worried that I don't have a chance, if you find death by yourself, I will naturally fulfill your wish!" Jia Mi said at length, his face was blank, but he was very excited in his heart.
In the service, this is the beginning of Qin, the history of the prime minister, with its back and forth in the east chamber, so it is called the service. The two Han Dynasty were placed along and were one of the additional officials in addition to the regular official position. Because of the attendants of the emperor, entering and leaving the court, and hearing about the government, it gradually became a valuable position for cronies. By the time of Cao Wei, he was under Jiuqing, above the Shangshu Servant and the Zhongshu Supervisor and Zhongshu Ling, but there was no full-time servant who could have an impact on the government and politics. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Shizhong has become a position with real power from the Cao Wei period and the advisor of the inner court, and has become an important position in the imperial court, and can even decide on the appointment and dismissal of the three dukes.
It's just that Jia Shizhong's sudden remarks made the ministers of the court really confused, didn't he go against the prince everywhere, how could he not only agree with the prince's performance, but even have many words of praise.
Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are members of the Jia Hou Party and are flatterers. The rest of the people are either the princes of the Sima family who don't care about political affairs and just eat, drink and have fun, or they are Wang Yan, Le Guang and others who only know Qing talk and pretend to be high. As the spokesperson of Empress Jia in the court, Jia Mi's meaning is naturally what Empress Jia means, and once Jia Mi expresses his opinions, others will naturally follow suit. Therefore, although the ministers in the palace didn't understand what Jia Mi meant, they all echoed in unison, shaking their heads and disagreeing with each other. After a while, the court immediately came to a conclusion, and all agreed with the prince's performance.
"The old minister disagrees!" suddenly a discordant voice came.
