Chapter 386: Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors
After everyone arrived, the court was filled with porridge.
Most people said they didn’t know about the epidemic. Some said they wanted to punish the local officials in Dengzhou, some said the cabinet was sluggish, and some said that the Dongchang covered the sky with only hands.
Both sides and vertically try to clear yourself and try to pour dirty water on others.
Emperor Yufeng looked at the person below with a sneer, and his fists slowly clenched.
Han Jian made it clear in a few words. It was just that the local forces of Dongchang discovered that the momentum was wrong and reported to Dongchang secretly. He was just out of careful consideration, afraid that it was a conspiracy against the court, and upholding the principle of human life first, he only treated the people.
I don’t know anything else. Without the orders of the emperor, neither the Silijian nor the Dongchang shall interfere in local affairs.
Emperor Yufeng only apologized for this, and Han Jian immediately apologized for his own crime.
Seeing Emperor Yufeng let Han Jian go so lightly, the people below immediately understood, but I was afraid that Han Jian would have already understood this matter.
Now who dares to continue digging Han Jian’s crimes and go further in that direction, wouldn’t it be digging a hole for himself?
Unless it is a very serious sin that touches the bottom line of the Lord, even if Han Jian really has something extraordinary, the Lord will teach him a lesson in the closed door, and it is impossible for him to sue him here.
Han Jian served the emperor for many years and knew the nature of this emperor best. He came out to confess his guilt at this time, and he also expected that Emperor Yufeng would not really treat him.
In this way, where would anyone dare to point the finger at the East Factory?
The third prince suddenly spoke out: "My son remembers that Zhao Qingshan had made great contributions to suppressing bandits in Dengzhou and was rewarded in the capital. In the past two or three months, he has been traveling between Dengzhou and the capital. Why didn't even reveal any news about him?"
Today, I knew that the reason was called over was because of this incident, and the prince knew that the third prince was going to attack him. When he heard this, his face still darkened.
"Zhao Qingshan is just responsible for the bandit suppression. How can we know the local affairs? Moreover, Dengzhou Guards are local troops. Zhao Qingshan is an imperial envoy who was appointed by his father to suppress bandit suppression. How could he get involved with them? It is normal not to know the situation there."
He was a little guilty when he said this, and he couldn't help but look up at Emperor Yufeng quietly.
Who knew that it happened to meet Emperor Yufeng's eyes, which made him even more nervous.
Xie Yuncang clenched his fists and walked out of the queue, "Your Majesty, Dengzhou Guards reported directly to Weichen. It was Weichen's dereliction of duty if he did not find any signs of the epidemic at the first time.
It was Dongchang that first discovered this situation. Even Dongchang had begun to study the epidemic. We have not yet known the details inside, so we are really ashamed.
The most urgent task at the moment is to curb the spread of the epidemic in time to avoid causing more people to die. I only learned today that my daughter was taken to the East Factory by Eunuch Han a few days ago to treat those people who called the epidemic, and it was effective."
Speaking of this, the expression on Emperor Yufeng's face looked a little better, "Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Xie Yuncang hurriedly said, "The little girl, in addition to studying medical skills and studying medical skills, never leaving the door. When she was taken to the East Factory by Eunuch Han to treat those patients, she didn't know where these people came from and why they were sick. She also knew that the East Factory was a confidentiality in the court, so she did not dare to tell what she saw in the East Factory. It was not until Wei Chen heard that the people in Eunuch Han's East Factory were patients from Dengzhou today that she knew about this."
"So, are you going to recommend yourself? Recommend your daughter..."
Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, "What you said is the Lord of Danyang County who has cured Mrs. Huayang and I personally named him?"
"That's right! The little girl was fond of the emperor and was worried all day long. She had such an opportunity to serve the court today, which is also her blessing. Please allow Your Majesty to allow it."
It’s up to this point, how can there be no reason to be correct?
Emperor Yufeng's face finally looked a little better, which affected the court officials standing in the court and breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he was half relieved, Emperor Yufeng took two copies of the memorials from the Dragon Case and threw them down, "You don't know about the epidemic, so it seems that your cabinet doesn't know about these rumors and the riots of the people."
Before one wave was settled, another wave started again and Shoufu Zhang picked up the book in fear.
Before he finished reading, he heard Han Jian’s cold voice, “The emergency delivery sent here last night said that someone from Dengzhou Guard massacred the people, pretended to be bandits, asked for merit from the court, and colluded with the local government, so the people were not allowed to visit.
The people of Dengzhou were excited and killed a general from Dengzhou Guard the day and night before, and seized the arsenal of the arsenal, and had a conflict with the guard station."
After he finished speaking slowly, he looked at Shoufu Zhang, "I wonder if the cabinet has received the news?"
"This..." Shoufu Zhang's knees softened and he knelt down again. "Your Majesty clearly observed that he had not received such news, otherwise the cabinet would not dare to hide anything."
As soon as he knelt, the rest of the cabinet and the six ministries followed him and knelt down.
The prince hurriedly said, "Father, the people's riots are not easy, and they must not be taken lightly. This matter must be sent by the court."
Others also agreed, and Shoufu Zhang still knelt on the ground, "At this time, the cabinet was indeed in prison, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. I beg Your Majesty to send the old minister to Dengzhou to calm the incident."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone dissuaded them.
Zhang Ge is nearly 70 years old, how can he still go there?
What's more, he was the chief minister of the dynasty, and the cabinet did not know how many official duties he had to handle every day, so how could he take action?
Master Yin Ge immediately made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, from the memorial, it has been a while since the massacre of the people and pretending to be military merits. I am afraid that the people in Dengzhou are already full of grievances, and the court must send an imperial envoy of sufficient importance to go there.
If the prime minister goes, his identity will be suppressed. However, Mr. Zhang is old and the local situation is now chaotic. If there is any accident, it will be a big loss to the court."
Emperor Yufeng sighed with a cold face and twisted his beard, "This is reasonable, so who do you want to send?"
"In the eyes of the empress, it is best to send a prince to him. First, no matter how resentful the people are in their hearts, they dare not treat the prince. Second, the prince's identity is valuable enough, which can also show the court's attention to this matter. It will be of great benefit to the silence of the Dengzhou situation and the investigation of the massacre of the people."
As soon as these words were said, the prince and the third prince changed their expression at the same time. When Emperor Yufeng looked up, he showed a look of consciousness on his face.
Both brothers are not a good deal. I know everything about Dengzhou. Today's argument in this court is just for Emperor Yufeng to see.
At this time, if you go to Dengzhou, wouldn’t that be killed?
Even if they don’t die in the hands of those lowly civilians, they will be dragged to death by the other party.
The prince immediately said, "My son is willing to ask for orders to go!"
The third prince was stunned for a moment. This was not the prince's timid and afraid of trouble!
Before he could react, he heard the Shougong Zhang say, "As the crown prince, as the crown prince, if he can go there, he will definitely be able to influence the people of Dengzhou!"
The third prince became more and more confused. The chief minister was the prince's man, so he actually agreed to the prince's trip?
Is there anything else he doesn’t know about Dengzhou?
Is there any other gains here?
When he was shocked and suspicious, he quietly looked at his father-in-law, Zhou Wenyou, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
When he saw the other party shook his head invisibly, his heart calmed down.
If the prince really dares to go, he will definitely tell him to go without going back!
