Chapter 418 Eventful Autumn
After being pointed at Ji An and said so much, Zhang Tang could bear it and wanted to kill him long ago.
Zhang Tang let out a contemptuous hum from his nose, and then turned angry, and scolded him sternly: "What a Ji An, who is called accusing his colleagues, but in fact he criticized Your Majesty. What crime should he be so unfaithful, unrighteous, and unkind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tang looked at Zhao Yu behind him and signaled him to go out to help.
Zhao Yu, who revised the Han law with Zhang Tang, knew that the opportunity had come, because after Li Cai, Zhang Tang, as the censor, would probably become the prime minister's first choice. So who should take over the position of censor?
He responded quickly and followed Zhang Tang and said, "I also think that Ji An's eyes are unrespectful and wanton slandering the government affairs. It has been a long time since he has become more and more serious. If he is punished, he cannot correct the government's principles."
The court officials quickly divided into two opposing factions around Ji An's fate and argued endlessly.
Although Gongsun He, Li Xi and others stood on Ji An's side, Wei Qing, because the Empress Dowager died and the country was rewarded with little rewards, he was still unable to become tough in the court until now.
They hoped that Wei Qing, the great general, could stand up and speak, but they were ordered to reward the soldiers of the three armies.
They also knew Liu Che's feelings for Ji An, and they hoped that the old man could take a step back and at least admit his mistake so that he could get the emperor's understanding. In fact, after all, why didn't Liu Che want this?
Liu Che needs this kind of voice...
After so many years of getting along, he knows Ji An's character very well. Moreover, today the court is discussing right and wrong with marriage, so he doesn't want to see the honest and upright Ji An in prison.
To be fair, Liu Che has never been a stubborn person. Why should he be alone and do what he can do together?
Isn't it good to just make a decision?
As long as he can understand the current affairs, advance and retreat, restrain his arrogance, be less intense, calm and not provide excuses for those who advocate punishing him, he can naturally find a way to settle the matter.
In fact, Liu Che understands people like Ji An, and it is very understandable, but it is possible for two people to face each other, so how can this be done in the court?
The Lord Ji in front of me, until now...whether there are any signs of admitting his mistake?
His body was straight, his head was raised high, his neck was stammering, his eyes were still staring at him, and he looked righteous and still kept talking about the shortcomings of the government since Yuanguang.
As Liu Che listened, his face turned from red to sallow, and from sallow to ashes, and then gradually turned white from ashes.
This is really hateful!
I have to show off my verbal strength...
Zhang Tang, Zhao Yu and others whispered to each other, listened coldly, and was even prepared to start the impeachment of Ji An again.
Gongsun He and Li Xi's heart suddenly hung in the air, the tension... was no less than the atmosphere before the war.
"Your Majesty! Please give me a great favor and forgive Ji An! He is so happy that he is not bad!"
Li Guangli, who has never been adjusted, spoke up.
He actually pleaded for Ji An...
What's the point of this general Ershi? Li Xi and the others were thinking this way when they heard a roar: "Forget it! Shut up!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Che threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground with anger on his face.
Then, a group of ministers fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "I ask Your Majesty to kill Ji An."
"Kill Ji An."
...
Amid this noise, Gongsun He, Li Xi and Li Guangli's voices are so weak.
Bao Sang, who was standing aside, looked at the ministers kneeling in the hall in surprise, rubbed their hands in a hurry, and was at a loss for a moment.
Next was the silence of fear before Thunder. Everyone knew that the final decision was only one person, and Ji An's fate was dependent on one person.
The Lord’s Killer and the Lord’s Clergy are now eager to hear the sounds they want to hear from Liu Che.
Time flies away, Liu Che has not spoken for a long time, but everyone's hearts are shrinking little by little.
In everyone's hearts, it seemed that time had stopped and the air had stopped flowing.
But a long time later, they heard a burst of laughter from Liu Che's mouth, followed by two words: "Retreat the court!"
Then Bao Sang shouted.
"Retreat the court..."
The sharp sound finally brought a little vitality to this solidified moment.
By the time everyone looked up, Liu Che had already left and didn't even look back.
This group of people disappointed him a little.
Zhang Tang and others looked at each other, but they didn't know what was going on...
He lowered his two long arms a little dejectedly and walked out of the hall in a daze.
Ji An was the last one to leave. He looked at the imperial desk and his eyes immediately became wet.
...
The peach blossoms in Chang'an bloom in tender stamens, and the fireworks bloom in March a cloud and romance.
After leaving the Bacheng Gate, clusters of peach blossoms hang on both sides of the avenue were covered with branches.
The weeping willow branches are relaxed and the silk ribbons float, stretching from the front of you to dozens of miles away, like an emerald green curtain.
Three horses walked out of the smoke and clouds, and a woman sat in the carriage. While walking, she wiped the corners of her eyes with silk and relished. From time to time, she looked back at Kyoto, which was gradually moving away, and her eyebrows were filled with nostalgia.
The three horses looked calm and let the horse's hooves knock on the road of spring.
"No matter what, it was a wise move for His Majesty to retreat to the court that day."
The person who spoke was Li Xi.
"Yes! After all, Your Majesty still can't bear to blame the Lord. Your Majesty still likes the Lord's character from the bottom of his heart, and his loyal words are always unpleasant."
Then Li Xi's words, Wei Qing also said, "It's a pity that I'm not here that day. Otherwise, this hypocritical Zhang Tangxing would never have let the slander!"
Ji An was grateful to Liu Che's tolerance from the bottom of his heart. He had many opportunities to kill him, but he always suppressed his anger.
Yes, no one is perfect, even if you are not perfect, why should you force the emperor to be perfect?
Maybe this is the emperor...
He had been in the capital for many years, and he always collided with Liu Che in the court, and never for his own selfish interests. He believed that the emperor also understood this, so he did not care about him again and again.
If Liu Che had not retired from the court that day, the situation would have developed, it would have been unimaginable.
Ji An shook the whip and said to Wei Qing: "It's no wonder that lord. The Grand Sima also went to do business under the order of His Majesty's edict."
In fact, Ji An was really naive... he didn't plan to walk out of the front hall of Weiyang Palace alive.
He has offended many people over the years, and they are worried that they will not have the chance to kill him!
When Ji An was about to leave Chang'an, when he thought of Liu Che's solo summoning him after the court meeting, he still felt the truth.
