The atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony immediately became much colder. Emperor Qing looked at the left prime minister Wei Changgeng coldly, as if he was asking questions, and as if he was repeating Wei Changgeng's words, "Is this the only boatman who died?"

"Yes, Master, only a boatman died," Wei Chang's face was still not at all panic, and his voice replied smoothly and vigorously, "And he is a boatman without relatives and no reason. He is a friend who is familiar with people who are usually familiar with others.

People will care whether he is still alive.”

Xie Zhong shook his sleeves and suddenly said, "So, no one cares about his life or death. Is he dead? Do we officials don't have to worry about it? Wei Changgeng, don't forget that the boatman is also celebrating.

If the people of the country are officials and do not make the decision for the people, it is better to go home to grow sweet potatoes!"

The expressions on the faces of many officials in the palace became extremely strange. Such a righteous statement came from the right prime minister, which was somewhat unexpected. If we want to discuss who is the most greedy official in the Qing State, the right prime minister Xie Zhong believed that he was the second.

, then no one dares to recognize the first place.

However, the right prime minister Xie Zhong is greedy but not careless, and he does things. All tasks arranged by the emperor are completed very beautifully. The tasks that the emperor did not arrange are also completed first with great sensibility. This is also even if Emperor Qing knew that Xie Zhong was greedy and greedy.

, but never killed him to sacrifice to heaven.

Every year when the year is approaching, the emperor will rub his hands, thinking about slaughtering the pig, but the pig will always hold a lot of New Year's goods at this time.

On the table, its value is far more than what you can get by slaughtering a pig, and in the end the emperor had to suppress that little thought.

"I am very relieved to be able to be so enlightened!" Emperor Qing glanced at Xie Zhong lightly and said softly, "But I think the Left Prime Minister is not that shallow person. His words should be deeper.

What is the meaning of... Left Prime Minister, if you don’t explain and explain, you can put it more plainly?"

Wei Chang nodded slightly and said slowly, "Of course the boatman is also a citizen of the Qing Kingdom. We officials should take charge of him, but this case does not need to be handled openly... All the lords have thought about it.

No, this case happened in Daming Lake. If it attracted too much attention from the public, what would happen? Ordinary people were originally particularly sensitive to royal affairs, and Daming Lake was involved in the Dragon King case that year, and the gods and ghosts plus the royal family would hook them up.

More strange associations, if they are used by those who are interested, they will do some ruthless actions..."

Xie Zhong understood who the person who was interested was as Chang Geng said, and frowned and said, "What kind of rebellious behavior? Nowadays, my Daqing vassal kings are mostly idle people. They have no soldiers or power in their hands, and even if they have intentions, they are powerless!"

"It seems that Lord Xie often drinks with those princes, and even their minds are clear..." Wei Chang smiled even more sinisterly, "But Lord Xie should know that the saying that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs is not what it means.

People will say what they think when they drink with you. The one in Daming Lake died suddenly and bizarrely, and the public's remarks are intentionally biased towards the Dragon King case. Have you noticed that something is wrong? Have you forgotten the Xuanwu Sect incident back then

Now?"

After a deliberate pause, Wei Chang Geng continued, "The only one who died now is still a boatman. If the situation expands and the old things happen again, thousands of people will die by then, among which there will be all the great men standing on this hall.

!”

The other ministers were shocked immediately. After Wei Chang's reminder, many people remembered that before the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, rumors spread everywhere. At that time, someone was killed in Daming Lake, and many fingers pointed at the previous Dragon King case.

Then, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was responsible for investigating the case, used all kinds of clues to exonerate the wrongs for the dead son of the King of Qin. This led to the King of Qin entering the capital, and the Three Kings rebelled and the Xuanwu Gate mutiny.

But a few who know the inside story understand that there was a shadow of Wei Changgeng in those things back then. The Xuanwu Gate mutiny was originally a taboo, but now the one who said it openly in the hall was Zuo Xiang himself, which was simply a dragon beard.

Acts of death!

However, what disappointed the ministers was that Emperor Qing did not seem to be angry, but instead looked at Wei Changgeng with a smile on his face and said gently, "The Zuo Prime Minister has indeed thoughtful and has a long-term vision, and he can always see places that others cannot see.

, But as the right prime minister said, the vassal kings now have no capital to cause trouble, and even if they want to do, they will not cause too much storm."

Wei Chang sighed even more, "Master, guarding against the people is more important than guarding against Sichuan. The discussions among the people should not be ignored. If someone takes the opportunity to plant the rebellion against the court in the hearts of the people, the consequences will be greater than mutiny.

It must be serious! Therefore, the Daminghu case must not be investigated publicly. I will instruct the major bookstores that publish newspapers, as well as all restaurants, restaurants and tea shops in Kyoto, to arrange personnel to create some topics that are more interesting to the people, hoping to dilute the people.

Attention to this case…”

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Chang suddenly looked directly into Emperor Qing's eyes, and added with a serious expression, "In addition, not all the princes among the vassal kings have no soldiers or powers. There is a king who not only holds heavy troops, but also has

In this Kyoto... I beg the Lord to be on guard early and take back the tiger talisman from the prince's hand!"

Emperor Qing's pupils shrank, and cold sweat broke out inexplicably in his palms. He immediately avoided Wei Changgeng's gaze and said with a gloomy expression, "Is the prince in the left prime minister's mouth... my younger brother, King Chenliu?"

Wei Chang took a half step forward, straightened his body, and uttered two words loudly, "That's it!"

"Rareless!" Xie Zhong also took a half step forward, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Wei Changgeng, and said sternly, "Wei Changgeng, you are so brave, you dare to criticize the emperor's younger brother! King Chenliu is a human

How about it? I believe that many ministers in the hall know in their hearts that they are generous, kind, righteous, indifferent, and humble. How could such a person have a desire to betray? What's more, King Chenliu and his mother, have deep brotherhood, and are not

If you divide each other, how can you covet the throne of the Lord!"

Before he finished speaking, an official immediately stood up to refute Xie Zhong's point of view, "But in contrast, it also proves that King Chenliu is hypocritical, cunning, and deep-minded. If such a person holds military power for a long time, something big will inevitably happen... Master!

It is recommended that King Chenliu deprive all his positions in the Jingdu Guard Camp and take back the Tiger Talisman of the Dongying!"

"Absurd!" Another official walked out of the queue and refuted, "Nothing happened, just put the charge on others first, and he is the prince's younger brother. If you do this, you will not be afraid of letting King Chenliu and Prince Chen and Prince Chen do so.

Will there be a rift, will it become enemies?”

"When things happen, it's too late!" Zhenzhen of the Minister of Personnel said, "Preparing for the future and preventing problems is the wisest measure!"

"It's ridiculous," said Mr. Wang of the Ministry of Works sneering, "For example, I want to kill Mr. Yang more than a thousand times a day, but I didn't take action. Does Mr. Yang feel that I should be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison? Or maybe they were dragged to Caishikou and beheaded?"

Wu Chengzhi, the Minister of Taichang Temple, stepped out and said with a stern face, "How can two completely different things be confused? As a prince, King Chenliu holds heavy troops, which is not appropriate. According to the etiquette, King Chenliu I should have returned to my fiefdom, rather than staying in Kyoto all the time!"

Another official walked out of the list of Xie Zhong's standings and looked at Wu Chengzhi's way, "After the Three Kings, there are already circulating unkind and unkind speeches from the emperor. If King Chenliu is really driven out of Kyoto, wouldn't it be This statement is confirmed! Do you really want the emperor to become a lonely person despised by the people?”

"Don't you bet," a minister of the Ministry of Justice suddenly scolded, "My Ministry of Justice is the most down-to-earth person on weekdays and has communicated a lot with the people. Why didn't you hear these disrespectful remarks?"

An official from the Ministry of Revenue who was a little overly obese, pouted and shouted, "Your grandma's, debate is just a debate, what do you do with other people's mothers! Also, you, the Ministry of Justice, communicates a lot with the people, and you don't think about it, What kind of people are you communicating with in prison…”

The hall was noisy, and the focus of the discussion changed directly from whether to openly investigate the Daminghu case to whether to expel King Chenliu from Kyoto, and finally evolved into a verbal battle mixed with all kinds of rude greetings.

Emperor Qing seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and said in a cold tone, "Have you made enough trouble?"

The hall immediately became quiet. Except for Wei Changgeng and Xie Zhong, the other ministers bowed to the ground and were in panic.

"What kind of despicable words are above the hall!" Only Emperor Qing's cold voice echoed in the palace, hitting the hearts of all the ministers again and again, "Whether you want to expel King Chenliu, or you want to Keep him and continue to stay in Kyoto... Are you really thinking about it for me? No! You are for the hat on your head, boots under your feet, and silver in your hands! Some people take King Chenliu every year Some people want to drive away King Chenliu and divide the money from others!”

"I don't say it out, because I want to give you some face to the ministers of the court, not because I was dizzy!" Emperor Qing looked at Wei Changgeng and Xie Zhong who were standing bent indifferently, and breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a deep voice, "It is true that you are more careful than to prevent rivers, but you are not to block the mouths of the people, nor to fool the people... If you fool more often, people will have less respect for the court. I think The case of Daming Lake must be investigated and the entire investigation process must be made public so that the people can see the court’s attention to every Daqing people, so that all Daqing people can live in this land with peace of mind! ”

"What the emperor said is very, I am a little confused. I have not understood the emperor's intentions just now. I requested a salary of three months. I hope the emperor will be grateful!" Wei Chang also saw that Emperor Qing had made up his mind, so he bowed his head and asked for guilt. road.

Emperor Qing sighed and waved his hand, "There is no need to be a salary fine. The left prime minister is also worried about national affairs and will be honest. How can I care? I will spend more days with your son in the mansion to avoid being dirty again. Water splashed on the child…”

Wei Chang Geng responded in a low voice and slowly retreated back to the front of the queue.

Emperor Qing looked at the ministers below in silence, and after a moment, he slowly spoke, "As for the candidate for the case handling imperial envoy... I think the Blood-clothed Marquis should be able to do it, so I will leave it to him! Since many people think of him

If you are too young and have insufficient experience, you need to practice more. If you don’t have any jade, it won’t be a weapon!”

Xie Zhong immediately bowed and shouted, "Long live the wise and wise of my emperor!"

The other ministers immediately followed and bowed down, calling us long live our emperor.

Emperor Qing smiled slightly, raised his hand, and continued to announce the decree, "The Minister of Justice is old and sick, so it is not advisable to work too much. Bonus gold, silver, silk, and silk. Go back to your hometown to enjoy your old age! You Feiang, the Minister of Justice, took over as the Minister of Justice,

Song Shangtian, the head of the Ministry of Justice, was promoted to the Minister of Justice!"

You Feiang, the Minister of Justice, was the one who said "Don't Tell Your Mother's Fart". After hearing the order, he secretly looked at Cai Shangshu. Both of them stood out of the queue with joy and fell to the ground.

, receive the order and thank you.

Staring coldly at the ministers below for a while, Emperor Qing slowly stood up, slowly walked out of the hall, and waved his hand, "Today's court discussion ends here, all my dear friends will go back and rest.
Chapter completed!
