Chapter 387: The whole palace was shocked. The emperor raised his sword(1/3)
While there was a heated debate in the main hall, Mi Fang was pacing back and forth anxiously in a side hall.
After getting up early this morning to freshen up, Mi Fang originally wanted to set off immediately.
Although he is not as eloquent as Mi Zhu, he is thicker-skinned than Mi Zhu.
Mi Fang had already thought about it. If someone attacked his son at the Great Court Meeting, he would bite him randomly and completely muddy the waters of today's Great Court Meeting.
This is also the best solution that Mi Fang can come up with based on her wisdom.
Even before, when Mi Fang was in Jingzhou, she focused her business on Jiangdong. Otherwise, Mi Fang wouldn't mind repeating the same trick.
Just when Mi Fang was about to leave the house with the mentality of "seeing death as home", he received a summons from Mi Zhu.
Upon Mi Zhu's call, Mi Fang immediately went to visit him.
When visiting Mi Zhu, Mi Fang saw that Mi Zhu had already finished dressing up and put on court clothes.
Mi Zhu's body was known to Mi Fang, so Mi Fang was so anxious that she asked about the reason.
However, Mi Zhu did not give Mi Fang this chance. He just asked Mi Fang to go ahead and use his seal to escort some things to the palace.
Moreover, Mi Zhu specially ordered that when he sent someone, Mi Fang should bring these things to the palace immediately.
Although following Mi Zhu's various instructions, Mi Fang's doubts deepened.
But Mi Fang still didn't dare to disobey Mi Zhu's orders.
Hence the scene in the side hall today.
Mi Fang looked at the several large locked boxes he had placed aside in the side hall, the confusion in his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
To be valued so highly by Mi Zhu and regarded as an object that can turn things around for Mi Yang must be something of great importance.
But what exactly is in the box?
On the one hand, she was worried about the situation in the main hall, and on the other hand, she had many doubts in her heart, which made Mi Fang feel restless.
Just when the uneasiness in Mi Fang's heart became more and more serious, a hurried Xiao Huangmen rushed into the side hall.
The moment the little Huangmen rushed in and saw Mi Fang, he immediately uttered breathless words:
"Servant, Your Majesty summons you to the palace."
After hearing these words, Mi Fang stopped pacing instantly.
He first looked at the little Huangmen who was rushing over, then looked at the boxes in the corner, and a more impatient words came out of his mouth:
"Come here, come here, bring these boxes up to the temple!"
...
In the main hall, the debate between the two factions of ministers was still going on fiercely.
Court debate is not an easy task for any minister. If you want to avoid making people laugh, a fierce court debate will inevitably consume a lot of energy.
For civil servants, court debate is their own battle.
One word can make the difference between life and death. This is the importance and danger of court debate in today's world.
With Mi Zhu's eloquence and experience, he is not afraid of any form of court debate.
But under the fierce court debate, his mental state, which he had barely maintained through medication, was rapidly being depleted.
This made Mi Zhu seem increasingly powerless.
Some fine cold sweat began to appear on Mi Zhu's forehead, and it became more and more frequent.
His originally upright figure was gradually becoming unstable.
Mi Zhu felt very tired at this time, and his eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier.
But Mi Zhu knew that whether it was for Dahan or Mi Yang, he could not fall now.
Fortunately, he had advised Liu Bei to send someone to summon Mi Fang just now.
I think Mi Fang will be here soon.
Not long after this idea emerged in Mi Zhu's mind, the high-pitched praises and praises of the visitors immediately sounded outside the hall:
"Your Majesty's Imperial Servant Mi Fang requested an audience with me."
When the high-pitched voices of praise and worship from the visitors were heard in the main hall, the originally heated debate in the main hall was slowly becoming silent.
Everyone knows that Mi Fang was summoned by Mi Zhu Jianyan and Liu Bei just now.
Mi Zhu suddenly made such a request while he was arguing in court, which can easily arouse people's imagination.
No one would think that Mi Zhu wanted to summon Mi Fang to embolden him.
Mi Zhu's sudden request must have a deeper reason.
Because they knew this and were unable to judge what kind of backup plan Mi Zhu had prepared, no matter what attitude they had, all the ministers stopped talking eloquently.
At this time, it is most appropriate for everyone present to wait and see what happens.
After Liu Bei heard Mi Fang's arrival, he also looked at Mi Zhu thoughtfully.
He felt that Mi Zhu was going to do something big today.
Just out of his trust in Mi Fang, Liu Bei didn't think much about it.
"allow."
The majestic voice of approval echoed throughout the entire hall from Liu Bei's throne. Under this voice of approval, Mi Fang walked all the way in from outside the palace.
As Mi Fang approached, he was followed by some tigers carrying several wooden boxes with him.
This abnormal scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
No one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Mi Zhu's gourd, but just looking at the locked wooden boxes, a faint uneasiness emerged in the hearts of all the Yizhou ministers.
Everyone knows that the Mi brothers are very wealthy, but it is impossible for the Mi brothers to openly carry boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to bribe them.
When Mi Zhu saw the boxes behind Mi Fang, some joy appeared on his increasingly pale face.
Looking at those boxes, Mi Zhu recalled something that Mi Yang told him before leaving Chengdu.
Mi Zhu, who originally insisted on keeping a tightrope in everything, felt that he might never use this secret in his life.
But since everyone has seen it, he is not easy to bully.
Mi Zhu signaled Mi Fang to let Huben behind him put the box down on the spot. Then he took a deep breath, used the little strength in his body to look at Qiao Yu, the backbone of the Yizhou ministers, and asked:
"The new policy of General Zuo just mentioned by Qiao Zhongshu has caused people's hearts to fluctuate everywhere.
It even caused the foreign tribes in South China to feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and therefore thought that the new policy could not be implemented, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing Mi Zhu ask this question, Qiao Yu's face darkened instantly.
It's such a familiar questioning routine. That's how Mi Zhu asked Liu Ba just now.
As a result, after Liu Ba agreed, the end he got was unbearable to look at.
Therefore, when Mi Zhu asked Qiao Yu this way, doubts would inevitably arise in Qiao Yu's heart.
It's just that Qiao Yu is also experiencing the same problem that Liu Ba faced just now.
This is a court debate. Every word spoken by each minister is related to his personal honor and disgrace. How can he overturn what he just said in public?
Moreover, under Mi Zhu's defense, the views of many Yizhou ministers were basically refuted.
This is the only view based on facts. No matter how eloquent Mi Zhu and the many ministers who supported Mi Yang were, they could not easily refute it.
It can be said that based on the current situation, this argument is the only possibility for many Yizhou ministers to stop Mi Yang's new policy.
Under such circumstances, how could Qiao Yu give up this point easily?
Therefore, under Mi Zhu's inquiry, no matter how reluctant he was, Qiao Yu still nodded in agreement.
After Qiao Yu nodded, the smile on Mi Zhu's face became even bigger.
If you want to take it first, you must give it first.
His Majesty and the Prime Minister have given enough before, and now it is time for him to take it.
After this thought emerged in his mind, Mi Zhu immediately turned around and bowed to Liu Bei:
"I have evidence to prove that the turmoil in Nanzhong and the unrest in various places have nothing to do with General Zuo's new policy, but are caused by the secret manipulation of some ministers with evil intentions."
When Mi Zhu said these words, not only Qiao Yu and other ministers of Yizhou were shocked, but even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang immediately looked at Mi Zhu with surprised eyes.
The ministers of Yizhou were shocked because Mi Zhu revealed their deepest secrets.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were surprised because they knew Mi Zhu's character, and it would have been impossible for Mi Zhu to say such a thing in the court meeting without ironclad evidence.
And if Mi Zhu had such ironclad evidence in hand, then undoubtedly what they had to do today would be much simpler, and even the negative impact it could bring would be minimized.
Liu Bei ignored the panicked expressions of the Yizhou ministers, his eyes showed anticipation, and he looked at Mi Zhu and said, "Is what Mr. Mi said true?"
Although Liu Bei's tone was questioning, his eyes kept wandering over Mi Zhu and the boxes.
It was obvious that he had seen something.
However, under Liu Bei's questions, the panicked Qiao Yu also regained some composure.
