Chapter 2329: Cornucopia (5)
Inner court of Jinling Imperial Palace, in the main hall of Fengtian Hall.
This time, the atmosphere of the meeting between officials seemed particularly quiet. No one was the first to say anything, no one discussed with each other, and some people were even trying to reduce their breathing sounds.
I was afraid of making any moves and attracting attention.
It became a citron or something.
They didn't have to think about it and knew that the emperor must be furious. If anyone comes forward or says something wrong at this time, wouldn't he seek death?
"What do you think about this rebel, pretending to be a ghost, insulting and slandering me?
How to look at the audio-visual?
To avoid the people being deceived?”
Whoever really believes in the gods and Buddhas of the heavens as officials? For them, the so-called gods and Buddhas are just a tool. If they are useful to them, they will be used and will be discarded directly if they are useless.
Therefore, even though Emperor Xuanwu knew at this time that the situation this time was different from that of the past, and the routine of pretending to be a god or a ghost made by cults like the White Lotus Sect in the past, he was unwilling to believe that this matter was really related to Emperor Haotian.
So the most important thing at the moment.
Of course, it is to control public opinion.
It is useless for him to believe it. The important thing is to make the people of the world believe it, otherwise someone will use it to make trouble and even shake his family's rule.
After hearing Emperor Xuanwu's words, the ministers in the court were basically relieved because they already knew what to do next. The emperor had set the tone for this matter. Anyone who did not want to commit suicide must of course follow the emperor's wishes.
Determine this incident as pretending to be a ghost.
"Report to Your Majesty, all the bodies of the traitor Shen clan members have disappeared and they are missing. This strange incident may have been caused by the Shen family's escape from the traitors, or someone with extremely close ties to the Shen family.
I think this can be used as a breakthrough point.
Release rewards and announcements.
The announcement of this matter was done by the traitor, and everything he saw was a fool of himself, and all the demons were pretending to be a god and a ghost.
A reward for those who know the remnants of the Shen family.
So self-centered to look at the audio."
The Left Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice was very active. Before the ministers could speak, they were the first to stand up first, as they were answering questions.
It is also showing loyalty and flattery.
"Jiang Zuolang, you can also think of it.
The bodies of the Shen family turned into golden light and disappeared under the eyes of the public. Now you say that the Shen family's bodies are missing, wouldn't that confirm this?
Your Majesty, according to the opinions of my humble ministers.
Could it be better to declare to the public that the Shen family's corpses are still there? This will show that what the people saw before was a fool, and that someone pretended to be a ghost?"
The left commander of the Imperial Army also stood up at a time to oppose the suggestion of the Left Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice.
At the same time, the reasons seem to be very sufficient.
But how could Jiang Zuolang give up:
"Left Commander, don't forget that there is a saying in this world that the corpse-exercissors' immortality is the mainstream of Taoist practice.
Even if you look for dead bodies, pretend to be corpses.
At most, the people thought that their family had abandoned their ordinary body, became gods, and entered the heavenly way of heavenly way. Your suggestion was not as good as the official's previous proposal, saying that their bodies were stolen by the traitors, and asked Your Majesty to take a clear look.
As long as the news that the Shen family's traitor's body was stolen by accomplices spread all over the world before rumors spread all over the world, then the people of the world will inevitably be subject to the official notice."
"Left Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a moment.
He also asked about Gu Ge, the left prime minister of the dynasty.
The emperor asked directly, so naturally he could not tolerate Gu Ge continuing to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
However, Gu Ge did not think as Emperor Xuanwu:
"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to ask.
Is there really sufficient evidence for the Shen family's rebellion?
If the old minister remembers correctly, the two sets of armor found from the Shen family were all from the previous dynasty, and even His Majesty had seen it before.
If you think it is inappropriate, why didn’t you say it back then?
As for the Shen family's lack of money to plot against each other, this evidence is even more ridiculous. His Majesty has forgotten that the snow disaster in northern Hebei two months ago, the Shen family just donated one million taels of silver and about one hundred thousand stones of food.
It's normal to have no money.
Besides, if the old minister remembers correctly.
Last year, 300 sets of armor and war were found in the King of Jin's mansion, and the final outcome was to scold and reduce salary!
The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people.
The emperor does not interfere with the criminal law.
These two points have long been in vain. I am a legal scholar and now I just think it’s ridiculous. It’s better if the Prime Minister doesn’t do it. Your Majesty, I will leave now!
Your Majesty has violated his oath.
Don’t blame me for leaving…”
After saying that, the left Prime Minister Gu Ge directly took off the official hat from his head, took off the official robe from his body, bowed and turned around and left.
The expression was still cold and calm.
But the back is as tall as a pine tree.
At the same time, his attitude was obvious and very determined, which was completely different from those who pretended to quit, but wanted to continue to be an official in his heart and wanted the emperor to save him.
In fact, as early as when the Shen family was arrested, Gu Ge had already expressed dissatisfaction that there was insufficient evidence, but who knew that Emperor Xuanwu did not listen to his persuasion at all. He violated the principles of criminal law that day and sent people to kill everyone in the Shen family.
And he refused to see him.
Even if there is no holographic projection that Qiao Mu did today, Gu Ge would do this. Qiao Mu's holographic projection is nothing more than strengthening his beliefs.
As Gu Ge turned and left, Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was so angry that his eyes were red. He wanted to scold him directly or attack him. However, he finally held back because he had already cleaned up enough founding heroes during this period, and if he continued.
In particular, the evidence continues to be cleaned up inconclusively.
Then he might be really disconnected from others.
Other founding ministers in the court will inevitably be vigilant and may even rebel.
Of course, the main reason is that there are too many disciples of Guge.
He was so scared that he felt afraid.
I don't dare to punish too much.
The difficulty of building a good reputation for literati and scholars is completely different from that of a wealthy businessman. The former is much more difficult than the latter.
Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu could only grit his teeth and temporarily endure it, and then, as if nothing had happened, let the officials continue to discuss the issues he had asked, and their temper became worse and worse.
After such discussions.
They finally discussed a solution that was barely considered a solution, which was to use the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice as the core, and spread the news that what happened before was someone pretending to be a ghost all over the country as soon as possible, so that all the people would receive the news before they heard the rumors.
In this way, most people should be able to preconceive the idea that rumors are fake. Although they may not necessarily believe them, at least it is okay to make most people believe them. After all, if you had not seen the previous incident with your own eyes.
Who dares to believe it?
In this way, things will naturally subside slowly.
After a few years...
No one believed the rumors.
