Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh court discussion and finality
In the court, on the issue of whether to execute Wei Jian on the spot, three or two people participated in the discussion at the beginning, and in the end, officials from the entire Tokyo participated. This was unexpected by the emperor.
Moreover, the debate started as an internal discussion among the courtiers, and finally evolved into a confrontation between the gentry and the common people.
Previously, the one-sided situation of King Huainan suddenly changed with the intervention of An Peng and Northwest Anjia. Finally, as the gentry class began to support Anjia with great fanfare, King Huainan and his family were suddenly at a disadvantage.
This situation also caught the emperor, who had been quietly watching the changes, a little unprepared.
He did not expect that just a staff member of the Eastern Palace would be involved in the fight between the nobles and the common people.
However, following Nightingale's report, it is not difficult to analyze from the information.
The reason why the gentry class is so tough is because last time, the emperor vigorously rectified the gentry clan, which made them feel uneasy. This time, the execution of Wei Jian made them even more worried.
Although Wei Jian was only a staff member of the Eastern Palace, his family background was still that of officials. Moreover, although the Wei family had long been reduced to the status of being excluded by the gentry class, he was still a member of the gentry class after all.
Now, the King of Huainan and his family are so determined to demand the execution of Wei Jian. Could it be that they were secretly instructed by the emperor?
Is this a signal that the emperor wants to take action against the nobles?
Thinking about it, these frightened scholars became more and more certain in their hearts.
In the end, with An Jia's push, they finally could no longer remain silent and stood firmly with An Jia.
Faced with the emergence of this situation, the emperor also had a headache.
Finally, in order to balance the situation that was gradually getting out of control, the emperor thought for a moment, waved his hand, and directly changed the court meeting to a court meeting.
The retired ministers, princes, and generals who had long since retired to their fields were also brought back to the court to participate in court discussions that had not occurred in decades.
At the court meeting, the Huainan King's faction spoke tough and had an extremely resolute attitude. The Huainan King had a stern face and very resolutely demanded that Wei Jian be executed on the spot in Jiangning and his body should be exposed for three days to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers.
The King of Huainan knew that half of Wei Jian was involved in many things.
If Wei Jian is escorted to Beijing and interrogated by the three ministries according to what these nobles said, everything will be over.
The only solution is to cut through the mess quickly. Killing Wei Jian on the spot will save a lot of worry. Secondly, it can also effectively deter some restless people.
However, after King Huainan finished expressing his point of view, Anpeng stood up and accused King Huainan of being a royal son. He should have known and abided by the law, but now he had ignored the laws of Zhou and violated the law. This move was
It was a foolish move that destroyed the Great Wall and ruined the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.
The king of Huainan was a superb martial artist, but when it came to bickering, he was never a match for these civil servants.
When I heard An Peng's eloquent remarks, he was actually secretly criticizing Sang and Huai, saying that he was a brave but foolish warrior.
The proud and proud King of Huainan had never been slandered like this before, and he was about to explode at that time.
But Zhang Wenshan stood up in time.
Who can play tricks better than the King of Huainan who holds military power?
Quarreling, hehe, the King of Huainan can't do it. But I still have it!
Zhang Wenshan's first sentence came out and he went straight to Huanglong. He stared at An Peng with a smile but said with a smile, Mr. An is so afraid that Wei Jian will be executed in Jiangning. Is it possible that he has some collusion with Wei Jian?
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.
The courtiers looked at this civil servant who was highly valued by His Majesty back then in astonishment, and secretly admired how courageous this person was.
Let’s not worry about whether An Peng had any quarrel with Wei Jian or not.
Just saying this is extremely bold. Moreover, they have to admit that this statement is really effective.
A basin of excrement was placed on An Peng's head, so that even though he was washed clean, he was still covered in sāo.
You should know that these courtiers who have retired at home may not have contributed much to the important affairs of the court. However, their ability to gossip, speculate and spread rumors is not as good as those of the eight-year-olds on the streets.
In this way, no matter whether An Peng denies it or admits it, he is definitely wearing the hat of flirting with his ministers and forming cliques.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, An Peng's face suddenly changed, and he was shaking with anger. He pointed at Zhang Wenshan and said: "You, you slandered me!" "Why did Mr. An say this? Mr. Zhang is just guessing.
Guessing, I have never heard of it being illegal to speculate!" At this time, Fatty Hong, who was standing behind the crowd and watching the excitement, smiled when he saw An Peng's ferocious look, hid behind the crowd, and replied in a nonchalant manner.
One sentence.
"Besides, it's just a hookup. What are you afraid of? Isn't it just embarrassing?" Fatty Hong curled his lips and glanced at An Peng with disdain, looking as if he was so angry that he wouldn't pay for it with his life.
Fatty Hong is now the Minister of Punishment. He has the final say on whether to break the law, except for the emperor's decree. This guy, with such a sentence, shamelessly told An Peng that I am from the line of the King of Huainan, why don't you accept it!
"You villain! You are so embarrassed!" An Peng almost vomited blood when Fatty Hong said something against him.
He turned around, pointed at Fatty Hong who was hiding behind the crowd with a stern expression, and cursed in a deep voice.
How could An Peng break through Fatty Hong's face with just one sentence?
Hearing this, he just chuckled, still in a tone that was neither sinful nor masculine. He gave An Peng a strange look and curled his lips and said: "If you can't explain it, just stop swearing. That's how you curse people. I didn't expect Mr. An to have it."
I admire this magical skill!"
Hearing this, An Peng could no longer hold back the suffocation in his heart. He shook his body, held on to the pillar, and almost fainted.
He finally managed to stabilize his body, his beard was trembling with anger, and the bags under his eyes were twitching. With trembling fingers, he pointed at Fatty Hong, who was chubby and obviously bigger than other officials. He was speechless.
Seeing that the Huainan kings had the upper hand, the emperor had already made plans. After coughing, he pretended to express his position: "I am very relieved that you are worried about the country!"
"But, my beloved, how can you behave in such a noisy manner?" The emperor's tiger body trembled, and his bastard energy suddenly overflowed.
After glancing at the trembling courtiers with tiger eyes, his face became slightly foggy. He picked up the tea and took a sip leisurely. After putting down the cup, he said leisurely: "In this case, Wei Jian, who is colluding with foreign barbarians, will
Death is not a pity..."
Hearing that the emperor's words seemed to be directed towards the Huainan King's line, the noble officials in the court were suddenly shocked and shouted in secret.
But at this moment, An Peng, who was so angry that he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, suddenly used his trump card.
That ferocious face suddenly became extremely miserable.
He cried and fell to his knees with a thud.
As he knelt down, half of the noble clan representatives fell to the ground.
The entire court suddenly became like a mourning party.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best..." A heart-wrenching cry, uttered by An Peng, had a tear-jerking effect.
Seeing so many gray-haired old men kneeling on the ground, crying loudly.
Even the extremely thick-skinned Hong Quan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He raised his sleeves, sniffed, looked at An Peng, and sighed: "Damn, I really need acting skills!"
Beside him, several officials who were listening secretly fainted when they heard the Minister of Justice look at him like this.
Following the faction of nobles, they used their trump card. The emperor was in trouble.
He knew that these grandsons were not joking.
If I insist on going my own way and support the King of Huainan, it is really possible for these guys to bump into Jin Jiandian. If I don't do it, I will be known as a tyrant who drives his ministers to death.
Moreover, An Peng's crying words were full of meaning. During this period, the threat was self-evident.
In other words, if Your Majesty orders Wei Jian to be executed by the Jiangning garrison, then Anjia and I might do something.
Moreover, there are those wall leathers.
He actually followed An Peng's words and asked to resign.
Although most of these are waste, half of the operation of the entire country depends on these bird people.
If these guys give up their jobs together, then the consequences will be another turmoil in the court while the emperor is meditating.
The two sides in the confrontation are in trouble again.
Every word you said to me, and insults in various local dialects, suddenly enveloped the entire court.
On weekdays, the solemn and solemn court once again transformed into a vegetable market filled with people from all walks of life.
Seeing this scene, the emperor, who had a severe headache, threw away his sleeves angrily. A group of people were left behind, staring with big eyes and small eyes, at a loss.
At this time, King Huaiyan, who had already been affected by the bird's anger, came out.
He lazily walked to the center of the court, rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, and showed off his sandbag-sized fists.
"Who wants to argue with me, stand up and let me see?" Wu Ningyuan glanced at the guys who were chattering and making noise across the way just now, and he smiled, showing his mouth full of white teeth.
As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell into silence. The courtiers who were so brave just now suddenly turned into cowering turtles.
He raised his head and glanced secretly at the triumphant Huainan King, who said with hatred and contempt in his heart.
Damn it, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything.
You *** can't defeat me, so you take action. What kind of hero are you?
Also, let’s not talk about you. Look behind you at the group of warriors with developed minds and simple limbs.
Anyone who dares to argue with you is seeking death, right?
Looking at these guys in front of him, they suddenly turned into shrunken turtles. Wu Ningyuan was extremely proud. He turned around, blinked at Zhang Wenshan, Fatty Hong and others, and then raised his fists.
The meaning of the words is, so what, in the end, fists will work!
When An Peng saw Wu Ningyuan's arrogant look, his eyelids trembled, he sneered, threw off his sleeves, and left with a group of people.
Although, during the court meeting, Wu Ningyuan was shocked and used force to suppress the text.
However, the matter is still not resolved.
The gentry class continued to confront the Huainan King faction, and the situation seemed to be escalating.
Naturally, Lu Heng, who was in Jiangning, would not know so clearly about these things that happened in the Tokyo court. These were all told to Lu Heng by the emperor's special envoy in front of him.
"Then what's the end?" Lu Heng picked up the tea, took a sip, looked at the envoy with a somewhat restrained look, and said calmly.
"The two sides can't argue, and it's hard for Your Majesty to put an end to it!" the special envoy smiled, raised his sleeves, and said with an embarrassed smile.
Hearing this, Lu Heng's expression condensed slightly.
The teacup in his hand was filled with wisps of hot steam, curling up and disappearing into the air.
Outside, the night wind howled and the window lattice whistled.
In the room, the lights flickered, and the light and darkness were uncertain.
After pondering for a while, Lu Heng's expression moved slightly. He put down the tea cup in his hand, turned his head and looked at the special envoy. After thinking about it, he asked: "What else did your Majesty say?"
The special envoy smiled, and after recalling it, he raised his head and looked at this handsome scholar who was about twenty years old. He lowered his head, clasped his fists, hesitated for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty said that Wei Jian surrendered to the enemy and treason.
Colluding with foreign barbarians and causing harm to the country is a crime worthy of death!"
He secretly glanced at the scholar in front of him who was listening to his words quietly, with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Your Majesty also said that Wei Jian's eyesight was not very good, and he offended people he could not afford to offend!
You will not live if you do your own evil!"
Hearing this, Lu Heng's twinkling eyes became fixed.
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, smiled, looked at the special envoy, thought for a moment, and said, "What about King Huainan? Did he say anything?" The special envoy cupped his fists and bowed, with a frank look on his face, and said with a smile:
"The King of Huainan said that Mr. Wei is dead!"
Hearing this, the last trace of worry in Lu Heng's heart disappeared.
After standing up, he smiled and cupped his hands to the special envoy and said: "Lv, I understand. I thank the special envoy for sending the message!"
"You're welcome, Your Excellency!" the special envoy smiled and replied with clasped fists.
On the second day, an incident that shocked the whole country occurred in Jiangyu City, which was originally quiet and peaceful.
General Chu Xuliang, an officer of the Jiangning garrison, was attacked by a group of unknown warriors while leading his troops to maintain public order in Jiangning.
Fortunately, there were hundreds of elite Jiangning garrison troops protecting him at that time, and General Chu Xuliang was able to be rescued, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
After dispatching troops into Jiangning and wiping out these warriors.
General Chu Xuliang unexpectedly discovered that among them there were many unknown warriors who did not look like the Zhou people.
According to investigation, these people turned out to be Turkic warriors from the grasslands.
After being tortured to extract a confession, General Chu Xuliang confirmed that the already controlled Jiangning governor, Wei Jian, was closely related to this matter.
Subsequently, General Chu Xuliang led his troops to search for Jiangning Prefecture Yin in accordance with the law, but was met with a tenacious sniper attack by Wei Jian's troops.
After a bloody battle, Chu Xuliang led his troops to attack the Jiangning government office.
And in the government office, the bodies of more than a hundred Turkic soldiers were found.
Moreover, among those arrested, there was actually an aide of the prince.
During the accountability process, Wei Jian confessed to his collusion with the Turks.
Chu Xuliang, in accordance with wartime military law, killed Wei Jian and many others involved in the matter on the spot in order to rectify the situation.
When news of this incident reached Tokyo, the emperor was furious and all the courtiers sighed.
Wei Jian was completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history!!
