Chapter eight hundred and forty-two is a traitor(1/2)
The encounters in life are always unpredictable, and it is precisely because of this that people look forward to it.
A few days ago, I was still fighting against the three tribes at Dongsheng. I didn’t expect that today I would be a minister in the court of the three tribes. Although I didn’t have much real power, I finally got the national guru.
How amazing!
The court officials in the court also thought so, but the amazement was somewhat inexplicable.
Fortunately, in their opinion, the position of the national teacher is just a position of death, and has no power, which is almost the same as those internal officials. So even if they know the news, they just ignore it. After all, they forced the emperor too hard, and the rabbit bites people when it is anxious, so don't talk about the emperor!
After Mu Ming entered the palace, he was taken to a place by the eunuch to stand respectfully. Mu Ming glanced around and found some court officials nodding to greet him, while others looked coldly. It felt like he was looking at someone who was dead.
Some people look at the eyes and the nose and the heart, and some people close their eyes and rest.
Seeing this, Mu Ming had to follow these people's appearance, looking at their noses and their hearts, and waiting silently.
The emperor always came late, and when the eunuch sang in a unique duckling voice, he screamed "Your Majesty is here", the officials started to move in an orderly manner. They first raised the jade scepter in their hands, and then bowed down together.
Mu Ming also knelt on the ground, and was originally a little unhappy. The Lord of Heaven and Earth was the only five people who wanted to kneel down and worship him, but now he had to pinch his nose and recognize him. Although the king of Heisha Kingdom was not the emperor in his true sense, he had also received the official seal, and there was already cause and effect in the dark, so he could only do so.
Emperor Wu of Nangong sat down and said lightly: "Flat!"
All the officials said in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
Mu Ming was one step slower, mainly because he was worried that he would be targeted by the censors. After all, this was the court. When all the officials were silent again, Mu Ming also stood up.
At this time, Emperor Wu looked at Zhang Dajian beside him. Zhang Dajian said loudly: Your Majesty has an order: The crow Taoist has made great contributions to the treatment of Princess Mingkong. I think he has medical skills and kindness. Because the Imperial Hospital is empty, he specially granted the position of the National Master to take charge of the imperial physician in the inner palace. Now I am telling the world that the National Master will live up to the emperor's grace!”
The wooden name was serious and went out and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he knelt on the ground again.
Emperor Wu then said: "Does the national teacher have weapons that are suitable?"
Mu Ming looked up and shook his head and said, "No!"
Emperor Wu said: "Then give the Emperor's Sword!"
As soon as this statement came out, the court suddenly became an uproar, and the censor said: "Your Majesty, you must not. The sword of the emperor is a national weapon, and the meaning is self-evident. What kind of virtue is this person? He is just a Taoist in the mountains. How can he bear this thing?"
When Mu Ming looked at it, he saw that it was a middle-aged man with a stern face, giving people a sense of being upright and unjust.
The censor also seemed to him, and immediately knelt down on the ground, pointed at Mu Ming and said: "Since ancient times, all the national teachers have made contributions to the court, or are capable and powerful people. How dare you ask Your Majesty, what kind of virtue is this person?"
Wudi looked calm and was about to say something, but he saw the Minister of War on the Shangshutai and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's Sword is related to the fate of the country. I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!"
The Minister of Revenue also came out and said: "Your Majesty, please be careful!"
Emperor Wu said: "I can understand that the Minister of War prevented it. After all, the Emperor's sword has been placed in the Ministry of War. But your Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money and food, so you should come and join in the fun?"
Mu Ming lowered his head and said nothing, knowing that today is not peaceful, but unexpectedly it is so uneasy.
At this time, the Shangshu said again: "Your Majesty, it is related to the stability of the world. How can there be a division between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue?"
Emperor Wu was speechless, and Lord Zhang said, "Bold, dare to question Your Majesty?"
The Minister of Revenue looked at a certain place.
At this time, the left prime minister of the dynasty came out and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, why not give the Emperor's whip? This magical weapon is a treasure. The Emperor's sword is a soldier that controls luck, and only a meritorious man can hold it. If you fall into the entire court, only a mighty general will be granted the Emperor's whip, which can also show your Majesty's kindness!"
Mu Ming was suddenly happy. He felt bored at first, but he never wanted to see a good show. Emperor Wu was criticized by the left prime minister, and he was a fool!
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows, but at the end he was helpless and said, "Since that's the case, please give me the emperor-beating whip as the left prime minister said!"
This is a mutual step. After all, the emperor was speechless by the ministers. This is not a good thing. The Prime Minister is just right to be a peacemaker!
The left Prime Minister bowed and returned to his position. Emperor Wu waved his hand, and the two ministers and the censors of the Shangshutai also returned to his position.
Seeing Mu Ming still kneeling there, Zhang Dajian coughed lightly, and Mu Ming looked up. At this time, Zhang Dajian stroked the void and saw a golden whip falling into his hands.
He slowly walked down the stone staircase next to him, came to Mu Ming, and said, "Thank you, National Master!"
Mu Ming raised his hands and watched the whip fall into his hand. Mu Ming said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, I will repay you with death. I am willing to go to it!"
Emperor Wu said: "The national master is really willing to go up the mountain of swords and fall into the sea of fire?"
Mu Ming was stunned. He was talking nonsense and didn't want Emperor Wu to say this.
Before Mu Ming answered, the censor who had just spoken said, "Your Majesty, this person is not in the right way and he dares to show his true face to others. He is actually a treacherous minister!"
Mu Ming said: "Is this adult willing to go up to the mountain of swords and fall into the sea of fire?"
This censor is ordinary, but he has cultivated his righteous spirit. At this time, he heard that the wooden names are fighting each other, and said, "Treacherous minister, do you think this censor dare not?"
As he said that, he bowed to Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk about the sea of fire under the sword mountain, even if you enter Jiuyou and go to the samsara and sink slightly!"
Mu Ming was speechless. This censor was really... like Emperor Wu, staring at a certain sentence.
Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Two dear ministers, how harmonious the court is, there is no need to have a verbal dispute. National Master, you are an official for the first time, so you should give in to the Censor Liu. I admire Liu's heart for the country and the people!"
The Censor Liu's face turned red and extremely excited at this time. He kowtowed: "Your Majesty is serious. This is my duty. You should not be so exaggerated. I am afraid of me!"
Seeing that the censor was interesting, Mu Ming whispered: "Shapeful!"
The Censor Liu seemed to be stunned, but then he understood something and pointed at Mu Ming and said loudly: "Treacherous minister! You actually use the technique of sound transmission. You are shameful."
The court officials were shocked by this scene, and they all looked at one of them, "Censor Liu is bold, this is the national teacher granted by His Majesty, why are you talking nonsense?"
The person who spoke was also a censor. I guess he was unhappy when he saw Censor Liu being praised just now, and his peers were most disliked.
At this time, Mu Ming's voice sank, eager to brew in his heart, and said with emotion: "My friend, the heart of the heart is clear, the sun and the moon can be seen, and what Censor Liu said is not without reason. Since ancient times, loyalty and treacherous are difficult to distinguish. Great loyalty is like treacherous, and great treacherous are like loyalty. Today, how many civil and military officials in the court dare to speak out like Censor Liu and give advice?"
Wood Name said loudly, and its personality seemed to have changed drastically, but this is also what Wood Name means. It directly offends all officials. There is no need to hesitate to confront the two armies in the future!
Yushi Liu originally wanted to argue with Mu Ming for a few words, but he never thought that Mu Ming praised him so much! He was speechless! But his heart became more and more firm. Mu Ming was a treacherous minister! Only treacherous ministers can change their minds in this way!
"Yes, what the national master said is very true. Since I ascended the throne, the court has been calm and the officials have been waiting and watching. It can be said that internal and external troubles are in trouble. There are Lu Zhanmen monks in rebellion. There are troops from the seven countries outside. I remember that yesterday, the left prime minister also reported that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are no worries inside and without worries outside. The Minister of Rites also reported that the court is peaceful today, and the officials are respectful to each other, the court is loyal, and the people live and work in peace. Only Censor Liu reported that I was scolded for not asking about state affairs and not knowing the sufferings of the people. Could it be that in this huge court, no one dared to be like Censor Liu, and dared to say that the national teacher is a treacherous minister?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court was silent, but then all the officials knelt down and bowed, "I'm afraid!"
Mu Ming was even speechless. This emperor really... called himself a traitor. He guessed that he would be loyal and treacherous on the first day of becoming an official!
Jingshi Liu was overjoyed, but when he saw some people, he immediately lowered his head.
Seeing all the officials kneeling down, Emperor Wu showed a faint smile, and seemed to feel much more relaxed. He couldn't help but take a deep look at Mu Ming. This person was really exquisite and transparent!
Zhang Dajian also looked at Emperor Wu and nodded lightly.
"My dear friends, what are you doing? You are loyal ministers and great loyal ministers. Let's get up!"
Hearing this, all the officials slowly stood up. However, the left Prime Minister was a little old, so someone was helping him and his movements were a little slow.
After he was about to stand still, Emperor Wu said again: "National Master, what you said just now is that a great treacherous is like a loyal person, and a great loyal person is like a traitor. So do you think the Left Prime Minister is loyal or a traitor?"
This sentence was meaningful, but the left Prime Minister's eyes leaped quickly and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, old minister..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Mu Ming say loudly: "Your Majesty, the left prime minister is a treacherous minister..."
"Is the left prime minister a treacherous minister?" Emperor Wu said in a deep voice.
The court was turbulent again and there was a riot.
Prime Minister Zuo was shocked, especially after hearing Emperor Wu say that he was a treacherous minister, his legs and feet became weak and he knelt down directly!
"National Master, don't talk nonsense!" Emperor Wu was immediately happy when he saw it, and said sternly: "Prime Minister Zuo is loyal, how can he say something like a treacherous minister?" At this time, the Prime Minister Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't realize that it was Emperor Wu who questioned Wood Name, and he thought it was Emperor Wu who made a decision.
Mu Mingze said: "Your Majesty, I am wrong. I think the face of the Left Prime Minister is extremely traitorous. It must be a traitor. But the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, how can it be determined by the face? I just heard Your Majesty say that the Left Prime Minister’s complaints are now reported to the black evil in the country, and all external troubles are gone. I think the Left Prime Minister cannot bear to worry about this. The so-called king is worried about the humiliation of the minister. I think the Left Prime Minister is also kind-hearted, not intentionally deceiving Your Majesty..."
Emperor Wu was moved, his face calmed down, and he sighed: "It seems that I have blamed the Left Prime Minister... The Left Prime Minister quickly invites him. The Prime Minister is old and cannot kneel for a long time, nor can he stand for a long time. If someone comes, he will give him a seat..."
The left Prime Minister was crying and buried his head, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of Your Majesty..."
As he spoke, he sobbed in a low voice. Someone next to him hurriedly helped him up. At this time, an internal official brought the chair to the Grand Master. The left prime minister sat half-sitting on the chair. When Mu Ming saw it, he thought it was better to stand, and the sitting position looked very hard.
Mu Ming noticed something and looked up, but saw an old man wearing a black official uniform. Mu Ming knew that this person was the right prime minister and was on the side of the military general.
I saw this person nodding to Mu Ming at this moment and smiling. However, Mu Ming felt that there was no deep meaning in his eyes.
After a while, the court returned to quiet, but it seemed that there was more difference in the court than before, and it was no longer as calm as before. Many people looked at it, but Mu Ming also returned to his previous appearance and said nothing.
At this time, Emperor Wu was listening to some court officials who reported the livelihood of the people in various parts of the Heisha Kingdom. The court officials seemed to have become much more active, but most of them were young officials, and only a few of them were silent all the time, mostly old ministers.
Emperor Wu said something from time to time, and when something difficult to decide, he would leave it to discuss it later.
After two hours passed, Zhang Daguan sang loudly: "Retreat the court!"
After the ministers bowed, they left in turn according to their official ranks.
The Mu Ming and the Six Tribes left the palace gate. At this time, the Minister of War said, "Congratulations to the National Master. This emperor whip is the weapon of the predecessor. The National Master had used this whip to beat His Majesty today, but before he had injured His Majesty, he was torn to pieces by His Majesty, and his body was left untold!"
Mu Ming said: "Is this actually happening?"
Several other ministers nodded, and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue said: "Although it is a whip, it is a national weapon, and only those with great luck can possess it!"
Speaking of this, he paused, lowered his voice, and said, "Otherwise, there will be no corpse after death..."
The famous wooden general whipped a whip in his hand, making a crisp sound, saying, "Yes, I beat the foolish monarch from above and the treacherous minister from below. I see the two Shangshu's faces, that is the great treacherous minister..."
Upon hearing this, Jie Shangshu's expression was unnatural. This was a slap in the face, but could they refute it?
This person had said that the traitor seemed loyal before, and even the Left Prime Minister said so, and His Majesty also agreed to this statement. How could they refute it? It was just that someone said that he was a traitor, and he always felt uncomfortable.
"You can do it yourself!"
The two ministers swayed their sleeves and left directly.
