Chapter two hundred and twenty eight: Royal
Qin Shaoyou rode his horse and went straight to the Ministry of Rites.
Wu Sansi, the Minister of Rites, is an old acquaintance, but he has no special friendship with Qin Shaoyou, and he is nothing more than using each other.
However, in the current atmosphere, the Wu family was already wailing and panic. Wu Sansi had no intention of coming to the Ministry of Rites to work. Qin Shaoyou came here to report the crime, and then he was arranged in a side hall. The officials of the Ministry of Rites informed the three provinces of the three provinces, and the three provinces entered the palace to report. In short, after various procedures, they would finally go to Datianting.
The reason why Qin Shaoyou waited here was because when the heavens heard, His Majesty would definitely summon him to inquire about the Turks. Generally, important imperial envoys would follow this rule.
He was very leisurely and sat here and ate tea. He had nothing to do, so he closed his eyes and took a nap.
On the other side, Li Longji returned to the palace, and then a news came from the Chief Secretary: "Your Highness, the conclusive news is that Censor Su was indeed taken by Qin Shaoyou and is still detained in Qin Shaoyou's village..."
Li Longji raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be overjoyed, saying, "This is great. I am afraid that Qin Shaoyou is making a fool of himself. This matter...has the matter reported to the palace?"
"Someone has already gone to Xuanzheng Hall, and His Majesty is in Xuanzheng Hall."
Li Longji smiled coldly and said, "This is even more interesting, but... I have to go there too, so I might as well let me be a 'confident minister'."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At this time, Luoyang City is when the peony flowers are in full bloom, and Wu Zetian's mind is about to appreciate the flowers.
It is rare to summon ministers to discuss matters in Xuanzheng Hall. The plan for this year is spring. However, it is temporarily considered to be peaceful in the world. Compared with the frequent military plagues and locust plagues in previous years, it is indeed worry-free.
Wu Zetian was in a pretty good mood, as if it was because the Crown Prince Li Xian returned to Luoyang, and this mother gradually smiled a little more.
As for Li Xian's "condition", she also asked several times. After learning from the imperial doctor that Li Xian was just a little cold, Wu Zetian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, it is rare to have a peaceful and peaceful situation in the court and the country.
Wu Zetian knelt behind the imperial desk, looked at the ministers, and his mouth curled slightly. He smiled, but he said many trivial matters.
Of course, the emperor's trivial matters are not the length of the palace, but they are always inseparable from things like gods and monsters. She said lightly: "Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed of the flower god crying in the back garden. What is this to do?"
Everyone was stunned. Cui Feng was well aware of this. He stroked his long beard and said, "It is a sign of prosperity for all the world to rise and fall, and the sea is peaceful and clear. This is a sign of prosperity. Your Majesty is diligent and loving the people, but he neglects the flowers in the imperial garden. The flower god is not favored, so he is mourning."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and they were in a relaxed mood.
Wu Zetian smiled, but shook his head and said, "Cui Qing is good at ghosts and gods, but your dream interpretation is not the case. You are the priest. Why use such flattery words to make me happy?"
Cui Yue didn't feel embarrassed because it was just a joke. He owed his body and said, "I'm just reporting the truth."
Wu Zetian's eyes fell on Yang Zaisi again and said, "What do Yang Qing think?"
Yang Zaisi said seriously: "I also agree with Mr. Cui's opinion."
Yang Zaisi has never had any opinion in the three provinces. Wu Zetian glanced at him meaningfully, and his eyes finally fell on Di Renjie: "Does Di Qing agree?"
Di Renjie said seriously: "I think what Mr. Cui said is not unreasonable, but... I also have some stupid opinions. Your Majesty had no thoughts before, so he prefers to appreciate flowers. But now that the Crown Prince Li Xian has entered the court, this maternal love is human nature. Your Majesty's compassion has been transferred from this flower to the crown prince. The feeling of licking the calf, not to mention the monks and lay people all agree with it, even the flower god is also affected. Your Majesty loves his son but not the flowers, which has followed human relations and hurt the ghost.
, The flower god was so sad that he was just a cold reception. I think this is a commendable thing. Jia Yi once wrote a poem that he said that it was a pity that the seat was in the middle of the night and did not ask the people about ghosts and gods. It can be seen that the most important thing for this king is not to care about ghosts and gods, but to think about what the people think and what they think. I heard that since the crown prince returned to the court, the people in the world were all happy and praised. Now, the hearts of the world have all returned to the court. Isn’t this a happy event?”
He made a lot of comments, but almost vomited blood from the Wu brothers present. Di Renjie was always like this and had no room for anything to say. He was determined to support Li Xian, but he was ruthless and did not leave any face to the Wu brothers.
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi couldn't help but look carefully at the saint's reaction.
Who knew that Wu Zetian's reaction was even more disappointed, but when they saw Wu Zetian, they were overjoyed and said, "What I love said is the most reasonable thing."
After the words came, an eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty, the minister of the Taiwan Court Su Jing was indeed taken by Qin Shaoyou and detained all the way. It is said that he had also used lynching..."
"What……"
The harmonious atmosphere that Xuanzheng Hall finally created was immediately swept away.
Wu Zetian's face was pulled down, and she actually found that Qin Shaoyou, who was usually smart and clever, was so stupid. So she glanced at the ministers indifferently, and these people were already eager to try.
"Your Majesty..." Cui Yue had to come out at this time.
Wu Zetian held his hands tightly and said coldly: "You don't have to say it, I know what you mean. The state has national laws and the family has family rules, right?"
After the words came, someone reported: "Report to Your Majesty, the King of Linzi will receive a visit and report to you if you have a major event."
"pass!"
Li Longji's appearance was not beyond anyone's expectations. No one in the world knew that the King of Linzi and Qin Shaoyou had an irreconcilable grudge. This time, Qin Shaoyou violated the "Heavenly Tip". Although the King of Linzi was young and had some scheming, he was very energetic after all, and when he had the opportunity, wouldn't he hold on tightly?
The people here may be just because Li Longji wanted to add fuel to the fire because of his old grudge, and he wanted to kill Qin Shaoyou, but he didn't know that Li Longji insisted on killing Qin Shaoyou today, not because of this old grudge. But because Li Longji had already felt the danger. This danger came from his uncle Li Xian. What happened today made him realize that Qin Shaoyou and the uncle seemed to have colluded with him. In this way, Li Longji made up his mind to come forward in person this time.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Li Longji arrived in the hall and bowed to the ground and said, "Sun Chen has seen Your Majesty."
Wu Zetian looked solemn, but he only said: "What are you going to report?"
The King of Linzi only pondered for a moment, and then tears burst out. He choked and said, "I have heard a lot of rumors in the market."
Wu Zetian put his hand on the imperial desk and said coldly: "What rumors?"
Li Longji said with great silence: "Your Majesty, it is said that the current court has close ministers who are willing to take the censor privately. The censor is a censor and has been highly respected throughout the dynasties. Whenever there is a wise monarch in the court, the censors compete to speak out, and even if they criticize the emperor, they will be accommodated by the emperor. When Emperor Taizong was in the time, because there was a Wei Zheng, everyone praised the prosperous era of Zhenguan. When King Zhou was in the time, he was in the time, but because there was a Bi Gan, so Shi Gong
He said that this is a sign of the destruction of the country. From this we can see that the honor and disgrace of the censors are related to the rise and fall of the country. However, Qin Shaoyou was brave enough to detain the censor without authorization. The evil behavior shocked people. The people said that the world is about to perish, otherwise... how could a country have a monster? Sun Chen knew that this statement was indeed a big rebellion, but Sun Chen was loved by His Majesty, but he had to offer loyal advice and ask Your Majesty to distinguish it clearly!”
Li Longji and Wu Zetian's face were full of gloom, but he was fearless because he knew that the truth was completely on his side now. If there was this reason, it was natural for him to say anything he said today, and it could even be regarded as a "good medicine for bitterness".
With her understanding of Your Majesty, she will never punish herself for the most ruthless thing in the world, and even praise herself well based on her past experience.
What Zi cares most about today is the public's view of her. This mentality comes from some extent due to Wu Zetian's unjust country. The more he gets the unjust country, the more he is afraid of public opinion. Just like when Emperor Taizong was when he was killed by his brother through Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong always likes to win over people's hearts. Now, the hearts of the people in the world are naturally standing opposite Qin Shaoyou, and it is not an exaggeration to criticize him.
Li Longji started this, and the ministers present could not sit still.
This matter is too big, big enough to temporarily abandon past grudges. Even a child under ten years old can make this truth. The nobles here are all pillars of the court and are in prominent positions. If they are indifferent at this time, all civil and military officials, even inside and outside the court, may be drowned by each person.
"What the King of Linzi said is the most reasonable thing, and I agree with it." It was not Di Renjie who jumped out to support it, but Yang Zaisi.
Just looking at the expressions of everyone, even the Wu brothers were now in silence, which shows that they had reached the point where the wall was falling and everyone pushed them.
