Chapter 549 Emperor Chongping: I, I regret not listening, I regret not listening to Ziyu
…
Xihe Palace
Emperor Chongping sat on the golden chair and looked at the newlyweds in front of him. At this moment, the cabinet ministers and officials from the six ministries began to present congratulatory forms.
Dai Quan bowed over, handed over a memorial, and said happily: "Your Majesty, there is good news from the capital of Henan, a great victory!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.
Yao Yu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was about to present a congratulatory form on behalf of the Ministry of Rites, was startled for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
The civil and military ministers who originally watched the ceremony were all overjoyed, but the ministers in the palace who were present were all talking and excited after a quiet moment.
On the other side, the sects led by the two kings of Qi and Chu were also in an uproar and discussed a lot.
This is good news for the Henan military!
Yao Yu, the Minister of Rites, had a happy face, held an ivory jade wat, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the news of the victory at the ceremony came from thousands of miles away, and I am even more happy. This is a good omen!"
Following the words of Yao Yu, the Minister of Rites, the whole hall suddenly burst into agreement, one after another.
Such a battle report cannot be said to be a brilliant victory, but it is mainly a good fortune.
Is there any better gift to congratulate you than when the feudal prince gets married during a national ceremony?
There was already a faint smile on Yang Guochang's old face. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he was the first to go out. Holding the wat board, he cupped his hands and said: "Old minister, congratulations to the Holy One, congratulations to the King of Wei, and congratulations to my great man! On this occasion of the victory, Henan Ru
Ning and other places are at peace, the Han River is clear and the sea is clear, and the nine states are at peace. Fortunately, His Majesty has brought peace to the sea and brought good fortune to all directions."
Because it was a wedding ceremony, auspicious words were already ringing in my ears, so the words that contained a bit of "praise of virtue" came out of the mouth of the chief minister of the cabinet, but they were much less flattering.
As Yang Guochang spoke, he not only glanced at the young man in python suit standing proudly among the military honors on the right with the corner of his eye, but also sneered in his heart: "Jia Heng, what else can I say when the situation comes to a close?"
As Yang Guochang spoke, Cen Weishan, the minister of punishment, Wang Shu, the minister of Dali Temple, and Cheng Xin, the general affairs envoy, also came out to congratulate him. For a while, the whole hall was lively and noisy, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
Then, there was still a part of the sneer and playful eyes that fell on the young man who stood proudly, not only the civil servants and military officials, but also the vassals such as the King of Qi, the King of Chu and others.
At this moment, not only Yang Guochang thought that Jia Heng was not as expected, but everyone in the hall also had a similar impression.
Jia Ziyu made big threats, but lacked talents and embarrassed the military!
King Qi chuckled and said jokingly: "Now, some people have become complete laughingstocks."
The words were spoken in a low voice, so the surrounding vassal kings heard them, and most of them had strange expressions on their faces.
The King of Chu paused for a moment and did not agree. No matter what, it was just a misjudgment. Jia Ziyu was still in charge of the capital camp and was still trusted by his father.
Among the cabinet ministers, Han Huang and Zhao Mo exchanged quick glances with a complicated feeling in their hearts.
Han Huang frowned and sighed secretly in his heart, suddenly flashing back to "Sun Tzu" he had read when he was a boy many years ago.
Military affairs are important matters of the country, the way of survival and the place of life and death, and must be observed.
Jia Ziyu is still young after all!
Regardless of whether there is a war in Henan or not, it would be unwise for him to predict it in advance, because if the so-called situation deduction goes wrong, he will inevitably be ruthlessly ridiculed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
At this point, it has become a laughing stock of alarmist talk and a lack of ambition and talent.
I'm afraid that after this incident, the emperor's trust in Jia Ziyu will decline, and a few more hills will be added to the mountain of memorials piled up in the General Affairs Department.
"At that time, will the emperor still ignore these memorials impeaching Jia Heng's arbitrary power?" Han Huang thought about this, and a layer of gloom appeared in his eyes. Finally, he thought that there was a high probability that he would still ignore them.
After all, it was just a deduction error and no foresight.
However, Jia Ziyu's reputation has been discredited and turned into a joke. The majesty of the military minister will also be gone. The originally fast and powerful power will also be frustrated. The power can only be limited to the Beijing Camp and Jinyi Mansion. The so-called military aircraft in charge of the country, and
Privy Wen, don’t even mention it!
Previously, Han Cifu was clearly aware of the impeachment offensive launched against Jia Heng by the Censor of Kedao, represented by Gong Yanming, the Censor of Yunnan Province. Not only that, but who was standing behind Gong Yanming? Han Huang also watched clearly -
—Chief Assistant to the Cabinet Yang Guochang!
In fact, the previous impeachment memorials were not only limited to the personal grievances between Yang Guochang and Jia Heng, but also the political struggle between the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, which was related to the horizontal configuration of the central power of the Han Dynasty and the direction of national policies.
As for the Wuxun class train, Liu Fang, former military commander and co-president, heard the good news in Henan, and was almost excited as if listening to fairy music. His cheeks were flushed, his breathing was heavy, and even the injury on his buttocks was aching because of the accelerated blood circulation.
, but Liu Fang didn't care at all.
It hurts your butt, but it hurts and makes you happy!
Huh? Something's wrong?
Liu Fang was hit by the surprise at this moment, and she felt extremely happy.
The day before yesterday, Liu Fang was slapped with a plank at the gate of the palace. She was injured on her buttocks and was fined a salary. She lay down for a few days and applied gold wound medicine. After all, she had the body of a military general, so it healed very quickly. Today, there would be no delay.
The ceremony for the conferment of the imperial concubine by the King of Wei.
Moreover, according to anecdotes spread to Beijing by the imperial doctors who went to the Liu family for diagnosis and treatment, Liu Fang would use medicine, eat, and before going to bed read a letter from the imperial censor impeaching Jia Heng, which was said to be helpful in healing stick sores.
For a time, it became an interesting story in Beijing.
At this moment, Liu Fang looked at the boy in the python suit and felt extremely happy. She just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. Of course, if this was not the Xihe Palace.
Jia Heng, son, could you have imagined that today would happen?
"No, Jia Heng's face is probably turning green now, right?" Liu Fang sneered in her heart.
He suddenly wanted to see the face of the boy in the python suit, but unfortunately the child was ranked first in the martial arts list, so he couldn't see the face yet.
"You can see it later. I will explain this matter carefully later." Liu Fang felt cold in her heart.
At this moment, Shi Guangzhu, the former military governor next to him, had a somewhat inexplicable expression on his face. He glanced at Liu Fang, who was already shaking with excitement, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Wang Chen Ran also looked slightly happy and felt a little agitated.
On the occasion of his wedding, good news came, which was also a good omen for him.
Just after a second thought, I couldn't help but glance at the boy in the python suit, and sighed softly in my heart.
A strange flush appeared on Emperor Chongping's cheeks. He looked at Dai Quan with shining eyes and said, "Bring me the good news."
Dai Quan hurriedly delivered the good news and a memorial, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the first-class Bo Niu Jizong also sent a memorial to commend the Henan Dusi General, praising the Henan Dusi General for his bravery, skill, and resourcefulness.
This battle not only wiped out all the bandits who had been entrenched in Jitoushan for many years, but also captured the bandit leader Gao Yue and others, and sent them to the capital at a certain date to be punished."
"Yes." Emperor Chongping's voice rose slightly. He took the good news and read it quickly. The faint worry deep in his heart completely disappeared. He took the memorial handed over by Niu Jizong and read it word by word.
Although the emperor was happy, he still managed to maintain his composure. He nodded and said, "Henan Dusi fought well in this battle. The arrangements were well made and the general served his life well."
As he said this, Emperor Chongping couldn't help but glanced at the tall and tall boy in the python suit, intentionally or unintentionally.
Jia Heng's face remained calm, almost unchanged from the previous expression, but Emperor Chongping didn't know why, and he didn't know whether it was because of the light or the angle, but he felt that his stern face seemed not to be too happy.
Emperor Chongping sighed in his heart. After all, he was still young. He still needed experience and refinement, and his character was also somewhat lacking. Good news was good news after all. He was blessed for the country and the country. How could he not be happy just because he heard the good news?
Jia Heng's face was actually expressionless. At this moment, he was thinking about the credibility of the battle report and vaguely felt that something was abnormal.
Because if there is no problem, from what I just said, the name of Henan Governor Zhou Dezhen was not mentioned at all, and there was no joint title?
This is one of the doubts.
Secondly, Qu Lang has been in Henan for a few days. If everything is normal and there are no carrier pigeons arriving, then he must have been delayed, or he feels that the matter is important and dare not make false reports. He needs to check and confirm.
This is the self-protection function of the guards in the Jinyi Mansion. The more important the matter, the more it must be confirmed over and over again. If the superiors are teased and the superiors are embarrassed, the subordinates can only die to apologize.
Therefore, there is probably something wrong with this good news...!
Jia Heng already had an inference in his mind, but he still needed to see the battle report before he could find more flaws. As he said before, he also needed confirmation.
At this time, Emperor Chongping handed the good news and memorial to Empress Song. He looked at the beauty with crescent eyebrows and starry eyes, and said warmly: "Zitong, take a look too."
Empress Song's snow-skinned face was so radiant that her fair and rosy skin seemed as delicate and bright as peach pistils. Her beautiful eyes were full of autumn waves under her willow-leaf eyebrows. She almost smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this... I am not the concubine either.
Those who understand military affairs may not be able to understand it."
The voice is crisp and waxy, as gentle as water.
The ministers below listened, but they were not immersed in the softness of the voice like Mr. Jia. Instead, they nodded secretly because Empress Song understood the general situation and knew how to advance and retreat.
In the Han Dynasty, state affairs were discussed by the previous dynasty, so why should the women in the harem interfere in the affairs wantonly?
Emperor Chongping smiled and said: "After all, it is a piece of good news, which adds a bit of joy to Ran'er's wedding ceremony today."
"In that case, let me take a look." After hearing this, the Queen of Song Dynasty took the good news and memorial, lowered her head, trembled her eyelashes, and read the text, then she raised her beautiful jade face and smiled.
: "With the bravery of the generals and the hard work of the soldiers, it was indeed a hearty victory."
Chen Ran, the king of Wei below, saw the confirmation, and suddenly thought of the boy in python suit again.
After this incident, Jia Ziyu's prestige in the court was definitely damaged and he was criticized by others, but...he just used it for his own purposes.
Yan Yiliu, who was connected to the King of Wei with a red hydrangea and a red hijab on his head, his eyes flashed, a little curious about the battle report being discussed outside.
Good news came from Henan. Is this a victory?
At this moment, the Ministry of Rites has not yet read out the canonization edict. In fact, strictly speaking, the granddaughter of Princess Nan'an is not Princess Wei yet.
Emperor Chongping turned to look at the civil and military ministers and said loudly: "Everyone, please take a look."
Even though he knew that this move might further damage the face of the young man in the python suit, there was no reason to hide the battle report and petition for merit. Even if no one circulated it, wouldn't these people discuss it?
They would also discuss it, and even say that he was too fond of Jia Ziyu, which would lead to a greater impeachment storm.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongping couldn't help but glance at the young man in the python suit, and saw that his face was still calm, but he frowned slightly.
Emperor Chongping secretly thought, this demeanor... still has a long way to go before he can become a true privy minister.
Jia Heng frowned at this moment, naturally not because he had doubts about this move, but because he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Now every word of Emperor Chongping's words of praise for Henan Dusi and Niu Jizong will become a source of annoyance and shame later on.
But he couldn't stop it, otherwise, it would look like he was too aggressive and didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Dai Quan listened to Emperor Chongping's instructions, bowed down and took the memorial from Empress Song, and then gave it to the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Guochang.
Yang Guochang received the battle report and memorial with a look of joy on his face, and read the words above. At this moment, seeing the victory of the officers and soldiers of the Henan Dusi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then he handed it to Han Huang and Zhao Mo to circulate it together.
He glanced coldly at the boy in the python suit.
Han Huang also passed it around, and then handed it to Zhao Mo who was standing aside expressionlessly.
But there was a feeling of confusion in his heart. Jia Ziyu had known about this, so why did he do it in the first place?
He also needs to reconsider the impact of this matter on the court situation. If there is no so-called prediction, this battle report will not shake Jia Ziyu's status at all, but...
Thinking of this, Han Huang felt a little bit resentful deep in his heart.
Too young, or too young, digging a hole for yourself, why bother?
After that, it was circulated by the officials in the palace, and most of the courtiers were amazed.
Pang Shilang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, praised: "These Bo Niu successors are worthy of being the queen of the generals. They are brave after knowing their shame. They were deposed because of their bravery in the camp. Now they are fighting bravely in Henan, which is rare."
Although Niu Jizong repeatedly begged Shao Yingchen not to highlight his position in the battle report too much, Shao Yingchen still added a few words.
Fang Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "No one is a sage. Who can have no faults? If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no great good."
Cen Weishan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "After all, he is a disciple of Wu Xun. If he doesn't even have this ability, how can he enjoy his title and salary?"
All the civil servants who had seen it all agreed.
The civil servants in the palace circulated the good news and memorials. At this moment, Qin Ye also took the good news and the memorials from Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and read them. His face was solemn and he sighed secretly in his heart.
How could he not know what was going on with Ziyu these days? It all started in Henan. Now that Henan has achieved victory, I am afraid that Ziyu's talents and strategies will be questioned by the ministers.
General Secretary Jia Zheng, who is on the right side of the General Affairs Department, also received the good news from General Affairs Envoy Cheng Xin. He read the text word for word, frowned, and felt a haze in his heart. He handed it to Tang Gui, the young minister of Dali Temple.
.
Just like that, the good news and the memorial were passed to the entrance of the palace. The internal prison officer took the good news and the memorial and handed them to the Wuxun train from the rear.
As for the ministers outside the palace, the inner prisoner used a high-pitched and sharp voice to announce the good news to the ministers waiting outside the palace.
"Henan has reported victory! The Henan army has defeated Gao Yue's troops entrenched in Jitoushan. They have captured all the bandit leaders and will send them to the capital at a certain date!"
Following the shrill voice of the inner prisoner, people walked in front of Xihe Palace from near to far, and all the civil and military officials started talking happily.
What is a good fortune? This is it.
When the king of Wei was getting married, news of victory came, which made him even more happy.
In this era of "happy luck", it is regarded as a standard practice from top to bottom, let alone such a good omen.
Outside the hall, Xu Kai, a Hanlin lecturer, who was a member of the Hanlin Academy official class, was handsome, with a look of surprise on his elegant face. He whispered: "Brother Lu, this is a sign of good luck. Haotian is blessing you, and destiny is there...
…”
Lu Li frowned, cut off Xu Kai's words, and whispered: "Brother Xu, be careful what you say."
With this kind of national canon, there is no time to fight for the foundation of the country.
However, Xu Kai's words "Haotian bless and destiny is fulfilled" were only eight words. The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, but it had already caused turmoil among the officials in the surrounding Hanlin Academy.
Perhaps, some things should be struck while the iron is hot?
Liu Zheng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, frowned, his face was ashen, and he glanced at Xu Kai coldly.
This scholar in charge is the father of Liu Shi, the concubine of the King of Chu, and the father-in-law of the King of Chu. Although he has always regarded himself as a clean stream, he still supports the King of Chu in his heart. For example, Corporal Li Xian of the King of Chu, who loves Wenhua's reputation, is
A group of students helped him become famous.
In Xihe Palace, good news and memorials were still circulated in Wu Xun.
It is a coincidence that after the civil servants read it, the memorial started to be circulated from the tail of the military attache in the palace.
So this "IQ detector", which Shao Yingchen said "cannot fool smart people", tested the IQ of all the civil and military ministers of the third rank and above in the palace.
However, it is actually excusable. Some officials are not officials of the Ministry of War. They are separated from each other and do not understand the court's military reporting system. Some officials are negligent. For example, officials of the Ministry of War did not think about suspicion.
In fact, if there were no obvious omissions, who would doubt the authenticity of the battle report like Jia Heng with the mentality of "doubting everything" and "looking for trouble"?
What time is it now?
It was a grand ceremony for the king of the country to confer the title of princess, but you suddenly said that the good news was false. There was no conclusive evidence. What should I do if I was wrong?
Even if some people find it vaguely unusual, such as why they did not see the name and seal of Zhou Dezhen, the governor of Henan, and Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, they are a little confused that there should be three people from Henan Province to sign the title. It seems that there is still a lack of an experienced signature and seal.
.
Even the format of the battle report doesn’t seem to be neatly written, which is a minor flaw.
But many things, under certain circumstances and atmosphere, will be corrected and corrected on their own. Unless there are very serious loopholes, they will not arouse suspicion.
For example, why there is no signature from the governor Zhou Dezhen, the possible explanation is that the Henan governor was greedy for credit, eager to report, and the format was not neat, or it may be that the clerk was careless. As for the lack of countersignature and seal, it is not a big problem.
The seals of Guo Peng, the commander of the Henan capital, and Peng Guolin, the chief minister, are not stamped on it, but there are also names, not to mention the memorial of a nobleman from the imperial court to prove it.
The seal on it is made of red ink pad, which is really bright and eye-catching.
The key point is that given this situation, unless there is obviously a very big loophole, how could anyone doubt the battle report that was acknowledged by Emperor Chongping in advance.
In later generations, there were many cases of fraud. Even in later generations with advanced information, we can see political brokers pretending to be relatives of high officials and defrauding veterans who have been immersed in officialdom for many years.
There are also records in the history of Qing Dynasty. For example, in the late Yuan Dynasty BC, Fan Meng, a minor official in Henan Xingzhongshu Province, found someone to work together to pretend to be an imperial envoy, and trapped high-ranking officials in Henan Province. They almost killed them all, which directly caused the system paralysis of Henan Xingzhongshu Province.
This is not a drama about Li Wei becoming an official in the Qing Dynasty, but a historical fact that actually happened.
As a result, the battle report finally reached the hands of Liu Fang, the former military commander and commander-in-chief.
Liu Fang took the battle report and read it. After a while, she looked at the young man in python suit in front, handed it over directly, and said with a smile: "Master Jia also looked at the victory report of the Henan army. We know that when Runing Mansion was defeated, Luoyang was in danger.
How unfounded and alarmist are those remarks! Now it seems that it is not the Henan officers and soldiers who are vulnerable, but the bandits!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if the curtain had been kicked off. The slander that originally existed in the hearts of the civil and military ministers in the palace was now put on the table, and they all looked at the young man with strange expressions.
"Master Jia, after reading this, you don't have to sit on pins and needles anymore, right?" Liu Fang smiled sarcastically and handed over the battle report in her hand.
"There is nothing wrong with the world, and it's up to others to disturb themselves."
It was also in the past few days that I listened to the impeachment memorial and memorized a few quotations from the officials. As soon as these remarks came out, they immediately caused an uproar in the Xihe Palace and had unspeakable lethality.
A mediocre person troubles himself, is Jia Ziyu a mediocre person?
With a calm expression on his face, Jia Heng reached out to take the victory report and Niu Jizong's memorial, and began to read it intently.
At the same time, Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, heard Liu Fang's words and secretly thought to himself, Wu Xun is not satisfied with his son, how can they be so virtuous and capable as to be in charge of the affairs of the country and to be in charge of the cardinal?
At this time, Emperor Chongping also looked at the young man in the python robe. Seeing him reading the battle report word for word, he secretly shook his head.
It's better to take a hard time and gain wisdom. It's better to practice and practice.
…
…
At the same time, just as the officials in the palace were rejoicing at the news of the battle, on the stand set up in the southwest corner of Xihe Palace, Concubine Duanrong also learned about the news in Xihe Palace from the mouth of the inner prisoner.
"A great victory for the Henan army?" Concubine Duanrong showed a hint of surprise on her beautiful face.
The eunuch smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the palace are discussing this. Henan Dusi has written a memorial. First-class Bo Niu Jizong also wrote a memorial to commend the general of Henan Dusi."
Hearing this, Concubine Nan'an smiled and said, "My Lady, this is truly a happy event. I am extremely happy. It's a double happiness."
At this time, Niu Jizong's mother Xu heard the name of her son. With the support of Niu Jizong's wife Chu, she smiled and asked: "But Jizong? He went to Henan soon after the year. This is good news."
Already?"
The eunuch said: "The palace said that there is good news, and there is also a petition for meritorious service from Lord Niu."
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she heard this and said to Mrs. Chu, "Did you hear that? Now you don't have to worry about Ji Zong anymore."
Luo Shi, the daughter-in-law of Princess Nan'an, smiled and said: "And this comes at the right time. It is the day when King Wei is very happy."
Liu Fang's mother, Mrs. Sun, smiled and answered: "It's just that you came early. It's not as good as arriving by chance. Why do you think it's so small?"
Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Gaoming of Li Guogong's Liu family talked to each other, and the more they talked, the happier they became and beaming with joy.
Concubine Duanrong listened, her jade face moved, and she didn't say anything else. She allowed several imperial concubines to discuss it, which in turn triggered discussions among other imperial concubines around her.
Some people praised Zhenguo Gongjia for being a leader who succeeded in winning the battle.
Some say this is a good sign.
There was a lot of chatter and excitement.
However, the ladies of Gaoming discussed for a while, and Liu Fang's mother, Sun, suddenly looked at Jia's mother and asked: "Old sister of the Jia family, why did I hear that Brother Heng said not long ago that the Henan army was going to be defeated, and the Runing Mansion
If it is breached, will Kaifeng Mansion also fall into the hands of the rebels?"
As soon as these words came out, all the enthusiastic ladies around them stopped talking and laughing, looked at each other familiarly, and looked at Jia's mother, or rather the three ladies of the Jia family, playfully.
There was originally a faint smile on Jia Mu's face, but after asking this question, it suddenly froze. Even if she was happy in the back house, she still knew that the battle report was coming, and it was difficult for those who once believed that the Henan army would be defeated.
Jia Heng, what kind of influence is it?
But at this time, I couldn't say anything obediently, and I could only stand at attention when being beaten, and I couldn't even talk back at all.
Why?
Are you looking forward to a big defeat? If you win, you will look disappointed?
Faced with the playful gazes of all the ladies, Jia Mu forced a smile and said: "I am in the back house about the matters in the court, so I don't know, is there such a thing?"
When Liu Fang's mother, Sun, saw this, she felt extremely happy.
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, was even more delighted and secretly exhaled.
Mrs. Chu, who was next to Mrs. Xu, was still reluctant and said: "Madam, after all, Brother Heng is young and has little knowledge. He is not as mature and prudent as those ministers in the cabinet. It is not expected."
Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "Brother Heng, you're not that big to say the least. You're not even as old as King Wei. It's not appropriate to handle such a big thing like this... after all."
Liu Fang's mother, Sun, also echoed.
At this time, Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing frowned and sighed softly, then held her handkerchief and looked at her sister Zhen Qing, only to see her sister also frowning and her eyes flickering.
Secretly, my sister wanted to win over Jia Ziyu so much, but now that he has suffered such a big setback, I wonder if my sister will continue to "help him in times of need"?
Thinking of the young man with firm eyebrows and a strong voice who impressed me, he was probably being questioned by the officials in the Xihe Palace at the moment, right?
Zhen Qing's beautiful face was silent, holding her handkerchief, her phoenix eyes under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows showed a hint of surprise.
Jia Ziyu, I got it wrong this time. This is really...
At this moment, Concubine Nan'an turned to look at Qin Keqing who was standing next to Jia Mu, with a faint smile, and warned: "Mrs. Qin, you should listen to Mrs. Sun's words more. From now on
Please advise Ziyu not to be too frivolous. Be modest and prudent, and you will never make mistakes."
Calling him the Qin family seems to be a lesson to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Nan'an, but ignored her. Her heart was filled with worry.
Liu Fang's mother, Sun Shi, said: "I also say the same thing. After all, we are old relatives. Now that Brother Heng has taken charge of the military aircraft again, we can't be frivolous. The previous ones, the young prince of the Jin family, and Fang'er, just reminded me
He said a few words to tell him not to listen to wind or rain anymore. He has such a bad temper, shouting and killing. The eldest son of the Jin family is not well yet, and he can't even participate in the ceremony now."
At this time, Liu Fang's wife, Mrs. Tang, sighed: "Yeah, why bother making such a fuss? You are still young and energetic, and you have some power, so you can't bear the slightest grievance."
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, was not so polite and said: "Brother Heng also said that the army was defeated. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that our Jizong suffered a defeat? He said that our Jizong was also defeated.
Yes, there was a dispute about Guoyong Camp at the beginning, and I didn't bother to care about it, but he still talked about the fall of Kaifeng Mansion, and the provincial capital seemed to be about to fall. By the way, I heard that King Wei's brother-in-law was there.
Xiangfu County is appointed as the magistrate."
After saying that, Mrs. Xu looked at Concubine Duanrong and Mrs. Shen, Song Jing's wife, and said angrily: "Concubine, please listen to me, isn't this a curse?"
Niu Jizong's wife, Mrs. Chu, answered: "Yes, he just knows how to talk nonsense. How is he any different from the scholar in the teahouse on the street? How can he look like a military official?"
At this moment, old things were brought up again, no doubt it was Jia Heng who sent her, and Song Xuan, the fourth son of the Song family, intentionally or unintentionally stirred up Concubine Duanrong's nerves.
Concubine Duanrong's clear eyes glanced at Madam Chu, feeling displeased in her heart.
I don’t know if it’s a curse, but it’s disgusting for you to deliberately tell it on such a happy day, isn’t it?
Song Jing's wife Shen also felt that Chu's words were not pleasant to listen to, and said softly: "I didn't talk about deducing the situation earlier, nor did I make any assertions."
Song Yan on the side was holding Shui Xin's hand and looking at everyone curiously.
"That's what I said, but it has caused a lot of turmoil in the city and made people panic. Now it's almost become a joke." Niu Jizong's wife, Mrs. Chu, said in a low voice.
Seeing that Concubine Duanrong seemed to have some impatience on her face, Concubine Nan'an smiled and smoothed things over. She looked at Mother Jia, whose face was indifferent and no longer had the smile lines of the past, and sighed: "Sister, our family, regardless of
No matter how deep you say it, it doesn't matter. The woman in the back house has long hair and short knowledge, but she is afraid that the official in front will also impeach Brother Heng. At that time, the whole city was in trouble, and everything was going crazy.
After a few days of memorials, I heard that Brother Heng was called Jia Mianmian, saying that he was not afraid of playing, and there were other even harsher words, sister, don’t you think so?"
At this moment, Jia Mu listened to Princess Nan'an's words, her expression was calm, she did not respond, and her heart was already extremely anxious.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang was supporting Jia's mother, listening to Princess Nan'an's words, her face looked ugly, as if she had eaten a fly, and she felt extremely humiliated.
The one from Ning Guo made a mistake, so what does Rong Guo have to do with them? What does it mean that this Nan An family is educating the old lady with guns and sticks?
And what happened to Uncle Heng? You messed up things outside, but you brought trouble at home.
But at this time, facing a concubine who had just married the Tian family, Mrs. Wang did not dare to talk back at all, and could only secretly feel cowardly in her heart.
Even a woman with little knowledge knows that the Jia family is at a disadvantage.
Standing next to Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun's round and plump face was as white as the sun, her beautiful eyes with soft waves under her eyebrows were full of worry, and her palms were even more sweaty.
It would be best if nothing happens to Brother Heng.
Since we are already married, we are naturally closely related, and caring about each other will lead to chaos.
Princess Xianning was clutching a handkerchief tightly at this time, which was naturally the handkerchief Jia Heng left to this royal noblewoman.
The girl sighed secretly. Did her husband guess wrong after all?
Nothing happened in Henan. Everything, as well as the drills and training these days, and the preparation of military equipment and equipment, are all Mr.'s unfounded worries and unnecessary interference?
No, it won’t happen. Sir, he has every plan and he will definitely not make any mistakes!
But what exactly went wrong?
The girl's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, she was confused and thinking hard, but for a moment she didn't think of posting the battle report.
After all, we don’t see much.
At this time, Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe County, saw that her cousin looked wrong. She took Princess Xianning's hand with concern and whispered: "Sister, it's not a big deal. After all, people are not gods. How can you tell with just a few fingers?"
of."
Although Mr. Jia, a young man, is not a good person and may even have "bullied" my mother, he still has some abilities. He probably made a mistake this time.
Yes, after all, he is not a god who predicts the future.
The words just now not only comforted Princess Xianning, but also convinced herself from the bottom of her heart.
The little princess sighed softly. For some reason, she felt vaguely shaken by the "tall" appearance of Mr. Jia.
Well, it's not like being tall.
The eldest princess of Jinyang watched this scene quietly, her beautiful jade face covered with frost, her phoenix eyes twinkling under the moonlight eyebrows, thinking, "What he said the day before yesterday is conclusive, and his deduction of the situation in Henan is also reasonable."
There is evidence, and it should not be like this."
In the past few days, the impeachment memorial has caused a stir in the capital. The eldest princess of Jinyang also heard some rumors. Worried, she even asked Jia Heng specifically. After listening to Jia Heng's explanation and analysis, the eldest princess of Jinyang felt relieved.
The eldest princess of Jinyang thought about it, and suddenly her expression turned pale.
"No, the problem still lies in the good news. But there are a lot of fake good news in the good news. They are exaggerated and fake. So, there is something wrong with this good news!"
Compared with Princess Xianning who was not yet completely convinced by Jia Heng and was puzzled, this beauty immediately began to doubt the authenticity of the good news.
"The good news may not be true. We still need to wait for the evidence from other reports." Princess Jinyang thought this way, and turned to look at Qin Keqing. She saw that the girl's face was pale and she seemed to be immersed in shock. She sighed in her heart.
tone.
This Qin family has never experienced such a big battle before.
Qin Keqing's heart was tugged at this moment, she pursed her pink lips and said nothing.
In other words, at this time, when everyone is criticizing him, any excuse is pale.
Imperial Concubine Duanrong took everyone's dispute into consideration, frowned and said: "No matter what, this is a happy event. The ministers who are in charge of the country have gathered to discuss the affairs of the foreign dynasty, so we should not get involved blindly.
"
These words can be regarded as an excerpt of what Princess Nan'an said, and serve as the conclusion to end this dispute.
The words of a noble concubine naturally carry considerable weight. Although Liu Fang's mother, Sun, and Niu Jizong's mother, Xu, felt that they still had more to say, they paused for the time being.
On the other side, Zhen Xue shook her head secretly, looking at her sister who had become silent, her eyes flowing.
After all, my sister didn't say a word to help the Jia family.
In fact, it was not easy to talk. At this time, the facts were before our eyes. The Jia family was accused of gossiping. At most, they could only say a few words to calm the matter.
It's just a pity that Uncle Heng, why did he...
Yes, after all, he is not a god who can make predictions with just his fingers. Can he predict the future?
Moreover, from the very beginning, none of the military and aircraft ministers or anyone in the cabinet supported him, so it was impossible for the civil and military officials of the dynasty to show off his abilities.
In Xihe Palace
Following Liu Fang's "fire", all the officials in the palace were ready to move and could not hold back.
At this time, Pang Shilang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, holding an ivory and jade wat, said loudly: "Your Majesty, after hearing about Jia Ziyu's military cabinet meeting, I still didn't give up. I used my power as deputy envoy to inspect the Jingying camp to allocate troops and horses at will.
We need to support Henan."
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials in the palace were in an uproar.
This is unreasonable!
Wang Shu, the minister of Dali Temple, said: "Your Majesty, Jia Ziyu's bold and reckless behavior is shocking."
At this time, Cen Weishan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, his face darkened, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng is in charge of the imperial robes internally, commanding the capital camp externally, and also commanding the army and horse divisions of the five cities. He also has to predict the Privy Council. I think that my authority is quite heavy, and I will inevitably focus on one thing at the expense of the other."
, delaying official affairs. Kuang Jiaheng is young and has little knowledge and no merit. He suddenly ascends to a high position and cannot satisfy the public. There have been many impeachment memorials in the General Administration Department recently. I wonder if the Holy Spirit will take away some official positions and select virtuous people in order to appease the hearts of Chinese and foreigners.
."
When Yang Guochang saw the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment leaving his duty, he was shocked and understood immediately.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it!
As he had expected, Jia Heng's son destroyed the legal system and brought chaos to the court. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had been suffering for a long time. Even if he was not completely wiped out this time, his prestige would be ruined.
Han Huang frowned and glanced at Zhao Mo, as if he was wondering why the Ministry of Punishment, who was also a member of the Zhejiang Party, suddenly decided to impeach Jia Heng?
Zhao Mo looked over.
Then just this exchange of glances made Han Huang's mind change, and he suddenly understood what Zhao Mo was thinking.
This is to combat the current situation in which Jia Ziyu "collars the royal robes internally, controls the capital camp externally, and is domineering and domineering".
One sentence in the memorial written by Yunnan Taoist Censor Gong Yanming was right and even aroused the resonance of many civil servants, almost regardless of faction.
Jia Heng's official position and many tasks made the civil servants feel like they had a lump in their throats and were inexplicably panicked.
Not to mention the Military Aircraft Department, the Commander-in-Chief in Golden Clothes, and the Imperial Envoy of the Beijing Camp, granting them to a young man who is not as good as a weak official. Isn't this Tai'a's inverse support and the cultivation of reckless people?
Of course, this statement was obviously scorned by Emperor Chongping, because Jia Heng's power was now rootless, and he could even control it.
Han Huang's face was gloomy and his heart was cold, "This is the emperor's intention. In this case, and Qi Dang has not left yet, it is precisely when we need to win over Jia Ziyu to fight against Yang Dang, how can we do this to add insult to injury."
Moreover, what made Han Huang even more alert was that Zhao Mo did not communicate with him in advance. This was a dangerous signal, which meant that there might be voices of dissatisfaction with him among the Zhejiang Party, and it could be regarded as a tactful expression of dissatisfaction to him.
.
In the previous matter concerning the Ministry of Works, he tried to figure out the divine will and followed the trend, but he was probably considered too weak by some people in the Zhejiang Party and blindly flattered his superiors.
Han Huang felt cold in his heart.
At this time, following the follow-up of Cen Weishan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the ministers in the palace immediately launched a verbal and written attack on Jia Heng, one after another.
Finally, Zhao Mo, a minister in the cabinet, also took advantage of the situation and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng arbitrarily cut off military aircraft, which caused panic in the people of Shenjing. He is even better at mobilizing troops and horses, shocking the eyes and ears. I ask your Majesty to punish him severely!"
Han Huang was unexpectedly silent, and Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was also silent and looked on coldly.
And there seems to be a tendency to spread from inside the temple to outside the temple.
Emperor Chongping looked at this scene, frowned, and looked on coldly.
Seeing the civil servants agreeing one after another, Liu Fang gained the upper hand at this moment. She looked at the young man in the python suit who was reading the good news, sneered and said jokingly: "Why, Master Jia hasn't seen enough?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials had mixed expressions.
King Wei was startled when he saw the scene of the group attacking. He couldn't help but look at the calm-looking young man in python robe. The face under the wingless crown with a mountain shape was stern and calm, just like the mysterious water, still calm.
People cannot see joy or anger.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Jia Heng put down the military report, but did not hand it to the Yongchang Prince Consort and Nanyang Prince Consort who were watching the show. Instead, he raised his clear eyes and looked at Emperor Chongping calmly.
Dai Quan, who was on the side, looked at the young man and suddenly felt pity for some reason.
Emperor Chongping looked at the "isolated" young man in python suit, and felt a little complicated in his heart. After thinking about it, he said: "Although the Henan official army is insufficient in combat strength, it is fortunate that they are fully equipped. The battle report said that several large armies
We marched together, surrounded and suppressed the bandits, and cut off their water and food sources. However, Jia Qing was just deducing that the military and cabinet were discussing matters. How can he be punished for his words?"
After saying that, he looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "As for Jia Qing sending out cavalry and soldiers for training in case of emergency, I know this matter. Even if there is no incident in Henan, Jia Qing still has to prepare for the battle against the Donglu. What's more,
As a military envoy to the Beijing camp, what are the things that go beyond the rules in daily drills? Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything more."
This is to personally go out and "respect" Jia Heng, and of course it is also to overcome the opinions of the public.
After all, he was promoted by himself, cultivated along the way, and had many achievements in the past.
Empress Song looked at the young man at this moment, her snowy face and jade face also had a bit of complexity, and there was a look of pity under her curved eyebrows.
According to the formal procedure, Jia Heng had to thank the Holy Father and admit that he had done something wrong. In fact, even if this matter was revealed, then the subsequent impeachment would at most damage Jia Heng's prestige, and the emperor would be considered as benevolent and righteous.
However, the boy in the python suit suddenly raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he said loudly in a clear and clear voice: "Your Majesty, Runing has fallen and Kaifeng is in danger. This victory report and memorial are all used by thieves to confuse the public after they defeated the army.
It’s a trick, the good news is false, I, please ask the Holy Spirit for a clear warning!”
He had just carefully compared and recalled the reports from the Henan Dusi that he had read before, and it could be said that he found many errors and omissions.
First of all, there is no inscription by Zhou Dezhen, the governor of Henan, and of course there is an excuse.
The key thing is that Guo Peng's handwriting doesn't match.
Of course, this can still be excused as being written by a literary official.
But all kinds of coincidences come together to create a lot of doubts!
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, before he could react, his face was startled and he thought about Jia Heng's words.
Then there was an uproar in the palace. Civil servants, military officials, and officials from the vassal kingdom were all shocked and confused.
boom……
It's like a bomb thrown into the water, causing thousands of waves.
Is the good news fake?
In order to insist on his own opinion, he even made up the good news to be false. Is Jia Ziyu crazy?
"Jia Ziyu, you still dare to speak harshly at this point!" Liu Fang was the first to jump out and scolded, then with a straight face, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Ziyu has no military bearing at all. He talks nonsense and deceives the emperor for his own opinions.
Your Excellency, regardless of national affairs, I must strictly monitor Jia Heng!"
For a time, the officials were in a commotion, and there were many responders.
Pang Shilang's face was livid, and he spoke harshly: "Jia Heng, are you saying that the Holy Father and we are so stupid that we can't tell the difference between real and fake news?"
At this moment, I have called him by his first name without any respect.
However, the expression of Shi Jie, the Minister of War, changed drastically, a cold chill came up on his back, his eyelids twitched, and the wat board he held in his hand was tightly clenched.
The good news just now seems... there seems to be something wrong.
He had doubts just now, but... he didn't think about it carefully.
King Wei looked at the civil and military officials in the court shouting and killing, and the people were furious. He sighed and thought to himself, how unwise is Jia Ziyu?
At this moment, Yan Yiliu's jade face under the red hijab also showed a strange color, and his curved eyelashes trembled slightly, which was unbelievable for a moment.
A good canonization ceremony was held, but the edict was not issued and instead became a court battle.
But this Jia Ziyu actually said that the good news was false?
At the same time, everything that happened in Xihe Palace was also reported to the officials outside the palace. For a while, the officials were in an uproar and were shocked.
In the stands southwest of Xihe Palace, Imperial Concubine Duanrong also saw an internal prison officer hurried over to report, looking horrified.
"My dear concubine, what's wrong, Mr. Jia said that the good news was false, and he is currently arguing with the ministers in the Xihe Palace."
At this moment, Princess Nan'an and all the concubine's wives, who had been waiting for the canonization edict for a long time, heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Is the good news false?
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, immediately said angrily: "Are you crazy? Jia Heng has lost his mind and gone crazy? How can the victory report be false? There is also the memorial written by my family's Jizong to support it. How can it be false?"
Mrs. Chu also said angrily: "It must be Jia Heng who talks nonsense and refuses to admit that he made a mistake. He is crazy. How can such a national important matter be like a child talking in his sleep?"
As soon as these words came out, all the wives of Gaoming were shocked, their faces changed, and they all looked at Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Qin Keqing.
Is it true, as Chu said, that everything was just Jia Heng's insistence on refusing to admit it?
But, this is too stupid...
Lost your mind and gone crazy?
Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her beautiful face had a look of surprise and uncertainty. She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Xihe Palace.
Is Jia Heng really frustrated and crazy?
Zhen Xue covered Cherry's mouth with a handkerchief, her skirt sleeves drooped, revealing her frosty wrists, slender and soft, and she murmured: "What do you think about Jia Heng?"
With such a good news, you still have to deny it to death, and you have to make things get out of hand, and you can't get out of trouble?
Song Jing's wife Shen also looked shocked and in disbelief.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes lit up at this moment, twinkling, and a bright light suddenly flashed through her heart.
That's right, sir, there is no way you can make a mistake. It's the ministers who are wrong. The good news must be false!
Li Chanyue, who was on the side, frowned, turned to look at Princess Xianning, and whispered: "Sister."
It was obvious that my hand was sore from being pinched by my cousin.
This is Princess Xianning who has practiced martial arts, and her hands are quite strong.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said quietly: "It's not surprising that good news is false. Since ancient times, killing good people and taking merit has been banned many times. Isn't it possible that those good news are not false?"
This beauty actually doesn't know that not only in ancient times, but also in the future, she will be able to annihilate 100 million enemies and dominate Taiwan.
The words of Princess Jinyang were like a cold wind blowing through everyone's hearts, making Niu Jizong's mother feel as if her neck was being pinched.
Zhen Qing's pupils shrank, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her heart. This made sense, but why did Jia Heng conclude that the good news was false?
Zhen Xue and Wen Ning's eyebrows showed a bit of surprise and uncertainty.
There are fake news, but can this also be faked? The prince seems to have said before... it is possible to fake it.
Madam Chu said angrily: "This is so empty talk, how can it be faked?"
Liu Fang's mother, Mrs. Sun, said: "Yes, Jia Heng is used to talking nonsense. Now he just said it casually and said that the good news was false. How is it possible?"
All the ladies of Gaoming were shocked, yes, it was empty talk. You said it was a lie?
Concubine Duanrong's beauty changed slightly, and she said urgently: "Hurry up to Xihe Palace and have a look. What's going on?"
At this time, several internal guards rushed past.
While all the imperial ladies were waiting anxiously, in the Xihe Palace——
Emperor Chongping's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but meet that gaze. His sunken cheeks were covered with a layer of gray. He was silent for a long time, or for a moment, he said: "Say."
Jia Heng turned a deaf ear to the criticisms from around him. He held the good report in his hand and said: "First, the so-called good report is just a single-line report from the Henan Governor. It did not receive a specific title from Henan Governor Zhou Dezhen. It is extremely abnormal to report at a higher level."
Having said this, he paused and said: "Of course, your lords, you can say that this is the work of the Henan Dusi."
Without waiting for the ministers to come up with reasons, Jia Heng gave an explanation. But it was precisely this calm state of mind that made Shi Jie, the Minister of War, feel a chill in his heart, and secretly said, It's over.
Even the anger on Liu Fang's face froze for a moment, and her eyes were filled with uncertainty. She was not stupid, she was just carried away by the excitement, and now she felt something was wrong.
No, it’s impossible. There’s also Lao Niu’s memorial. How could this be fake?!
Without waiting for Liu Fang and Wu Xun to say anything, Jia Heng said: "Secondly, in order to prevent the killing of good people and false military exploits, all battle reports from Dusi must at least have the deputy signature of the Du Commander Qianshi, and there is also an inconspicuous person.
To experience the affairs of the capital, all three must have their seals signed. If you lie about it, you will sit together! But on the victory report, there is only the seal of Guo Peng, the commander of the Henan capital. As for the seal of Peng Guolin, the commander of the military affairs, there are some, but this signature
There is a big problem with the handwriting, and it’s all down to Guo Pengtong!”
At this point, his eyes wandered over Yang Guochang, Zhao Mo, Pang Shilang and others. He paused and said in a cold voice: "And the signatures of those who have experienced the affairs of the State Council are not seen at all! Instead, there are more names of Qian Yushan, the prefect of Runing."
Signature, of course the ministers can still argue that the experience can't be found, but Guo Peng has never made any mistakes in his previous official reports, so why are you so eager to take credit this time?"
This is because Lao Niu was careless, or he only wrote a memorial, and Shao Yingchen was not familiar with the regulations of military reports. He only asked Qian Yushan, and Qian Yushan said that it would be enough to have the signatures of the chief and deputy generals.
But in fact, Qian Yushan did not know whether intentionally or unintentionally, he missed the small seal of the Experience Division. Of course, the official seal of the Experience Division was not found among the rebellious army.
"Thirdly, this handwriting does not look like Guo Peng's handwriting. Guo Peng's handwriting mostly contains connecting strokes between hooks and paintings. I suspect that Guo Peng's hand was injured. Of course, it can still be argued that Guo Peng drafted it for his subordinates, but
There is also something wrong with this signature."
"Such coincidences come together, but why are there so many coincidences in the world? I think this is a strategy devised by thieves and bandits to delay my center's deployment of troops and generals." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
Pang Shilang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked pale and said in a low voice: "This... is just your personal guess."
Jia Heng glanced at Pang Shilang and sneered. Then, he looked at Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, who looked uncertain, and said: "Master Shi has been in charge of the Ministry of War for a long time. He should have something to say."
Shi Jie's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't hold it in anymore. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are doubts about the good news. You should carefully examine it."
As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers became more and more uproar.
The Minister of the Ministry of War echoed his words. Although he said it in a vague way, most likely... the good news was false!
How can it be?
The nonsense is that Shi Jie and Na Jia Heng are working together to deceive the emperor.
This is human psychology. As long as the truth is not in front of you, you will hypnotize yourself.
Liu Fang shouted angrily: "That's nonsense! Your Majesty..."
Emperor Chongping's heart palpitated at this moment. He suddenly felt his head buzzing. He was in a trance. He waved his hand to signal Liu Fang to shut up and said in a low voice: "Shi Qing, is there any other evidence to support this?"
Shi Jie cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please look for past military reports from the Ministry of War, compare them with the handwriting, and you will have your own opinion."
Emperor Chongping's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said with his cheeks: "Dai Quan, go to the Ministry of War immediately to find military reports for comparison."
"Your Majesty, these are the people below without checking, and the ministers reported it without waiting for a closer look." Jia Heng looked at Emperor Chongping, vaguely feeling that the emperor's situation was not good.
The strange thing is that the emperor read the good news first and gave a definite conclusion first. At this moment, he needed to save the emperor's lost face as much as possible.
But in this field, he found that something was not round, and it had to be round even if it was not round!
However, before Dai Quan left, he heard from outside the palace that Captain Jinyi had come in to report.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jixian, a member of the Jinyi Mansion, said that he has urgent matters. He has reported to your Majesty and is waiting outside Chaoyang Palace."
"Xuan." Emperor Chongping whispered.
Not long after, Liu Jixian almost ran over. Under the attention of the officials outside the Xihe Palace, he staggered, knelt down, handed over the paper, and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyi reports that the Runing Mansion is full of thieves and bandits."
Kaifeng fell, governor Zhou Dezhen died for his country, more than 100,000 thieves gathered, the bandits led by Gao Yue raised a rebellion flag, called for justice, fought against the Han Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and the situation in Henan was rotten!"
Following Liu Jixian's report, the Xihe Palace was not in an uproar, but collectively lost its voice. It felt as if a cool breeze was blowing through the Xihe Palace, which made people shudder, and their hearts felt as if they were being pressed by a big stone, making them unable to breathe.
Kaifeng fell, how could it be possible?
Emperor Chongping's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he asked in a low voice: "Where does this report come from?"
Liu Jixian, a member of the Qianhu Family in Jinyi, replied: "Qu Zhenfu was sent to Henan by Governor Jia a few days ago to investigate the situation in Henan. This morning, he sent a message with a carrier pigeon and reported."
As soon as this statement came out, the officials immediately became excited and were in an uproar again.
Could it be that the report from Jinyi Mansion... was false?
Liu Fang's face was pale, and her trembling voice almost screamed: "Your Majesty, this... this must be a false report from Jinyi Mansion..."
But as I talked about it, I felt that it really didn’t make sense.
How can the Jinyi Mansion dare to deceive the emperor without fear of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan? Moreover, Jia Heng, the child, is tired of such top-down deception?
Jia Heng said: "Liu Jixian, immediately sent out the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi to capture the messenger who went to the Ministry of War to report the message, and interrogated him strictly. The truth will be known as soon as he asks."
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
At this time, Jia Heng turned his calm eyes to Emperor Chongping, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, these are all tricks of thieves and bandits. The Ministry of War cannot identify them when accepting military reports. Besides, there are Liu Fang, Pang Shilang, Cen Weishan and others who are inciting and inciting."
He also wanted to give the emperor a step down, otherwise the emperor might not be able to accept it.
But in fact, the Ministry of War was really unfairly accused. The Ministry of War did not check whether it was true. However, the internal factory supervisor received the report immediately and did not give the Ministry of War much time to verify it, so he rushed to report.
In short, Emperor Chongping still had some responsibility for this matter. In fact, no matter who reported it, the emperor could not shirk responsibility for such a big mess in Henan.
Liu Fang, Pang Shilang, Cen Weishan: "???"
Emperor Chongping looked pale and said nothing at the moment.
This self-respecting emperor could not deceive his own heart. He might... have been deceived, and he even happily circulated the news of success to his ministers?
At this moment, an internal supervisor ran out from behind the beaded curtain. His face was pale and hesitant to go in. Judging from his clothing, he was the internal factory supervisor.
Emperor Chongping glanced at him coldly and shouted: "Come in."
The inner prison officer "popped", knelt down, and reported in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Nanyang Prefecture in Henan Province reported that Nanyang Guard was destroyed, and Runing Prefecture was destroyed by bandits for several days. The refugees were rebellious and the civil unrest was difficult to control.
Your Majesty, Henan is in urgent need!"
As soon as these words came out, Xihe Palace, which was still noisy, suddenly fell silent.
Could it be that even the magistrate of Nanyang Prefecture conspired with Jinyi Prefecture to give false testimony?
Until this moment, the Xihe Palace was completely silent, as if there was a thick layer of gloom.
The sky is falling!
Four words suddenly emerged in the minds of the ministers.
In Kaifeng, Henan, the government of a province fell, and a hundred thousand bandits gathered together to advocate justice, fight against the Han Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty... This was a major event that shocked the world.
"Your Majesty, if Kaifeng is lost, Luoyang will be in danger..." Yang Guochang's old face showed a look of shock, and he murmured with fear in his heart.
"Shut up!" A deep shout was heard, which startled Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and all the ministers.
But he saw the young man in python robe holding his sword and looking at him with cold eyes and a sinister look on his face.
The faces of Han Huang, Zhao Mo and others changed, and their hearts were shocked.
Wu Xun reprimanded the chief minister in front of the emperor. This big man's sky...has fallen?
"It's all because you deceived the Holy Spirit beforehand, didn't know how to investigate afterwards, and incited and deceived him. That's how you got into this disaster. And you dare to talk here and disturb the Holy Heart!" Jia Heng said coldly.
Then, he turned to look at Emperor Chongping, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Beijing camp is on the alert and ready to send troops to Henan to quell the rebellion at any time. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty, and don't take this matter to your heart!"
All the ministers also reacted, and their hearts trembled. They all looked at Emperor Chongping, and they were all shocked. The emperor's face was green and red, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Emperor Chongping's self-esteem was so strong, how could he be moved by Wen Guo's words to cover up his wrongdoings? An abnormal blush appeared on his cold and hard face, and he whispered: "I, I..."
Runing Prefecture fell, Kaifeng fell, there were more than 100,000 thieves in Henan, war smoke was everywhere, and the Central Plains was in chaos. If he had been earlier... Listen to what Jia Ziyu said, why is this happening?
Just now, he actually took the good news and circulated it to all civil and military officials. It's shameful, shameful...
At this moment, even Empress Song could see that something was wrong with Emperor Chongping. She quickly stepped forward to help him and called softly: "Your Majesty."
King Wei Chen Ran's expression also changed slightly, his heart trembled, and he whispered: "Father..."
Emperor Chongping's face was red and white, and he felt he couldn't breathe. He murmured in a low voice: "I, I regret not listening, I regret not listening to Ziyu..."
Then, he felt his eyes go dark, the world was spinning, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the side amid the exclamations from all over the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Jia Heng's face changed with shock. He rushed over with a quick step, and together with Empress Song, he supported Emperor Chongping who was about to fall down. He shouted loudly: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, come here, come here!
