Chapter 451: It's hard to sleep
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui did not show his excitement, although he heard that the envoy had returned from Bingzhou, but in his heart, Emperor Yang of Sui had already learned the news of Bingzhou, and what he wanted at this moment was just a reason!
But despite this, Li Shan did not dare to slack off, and immediately passed the news to the Ministry of War, and at this moment, the gray-haired Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who was located in the Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, was sitting in the main hall!
Originally, he was at the end of the six books, and was only responsible for etiquette and foreign affairs, which could be regarded as an easy position.
But at this time, his face that should have been plain and relaxed, but it showed the solemnity of encountering a great ordeal, and his face was even more pale, obviously it had been a long time, and it was difficult to sleep and eat!
On the opposite side of the Ministry of Rites, the envoy of the state who was in the dust was also worried, as if he couldn't make up his mind, and seemed to stop talking.
"My lord, the situation in Bingzhou can be called eroded to the bones, the entire Bingzhou City, can be called a hell on earth, a certain family went all the way north, and before entering the Bingzhou City, they have already seen the disaster people everywhere, the fertile land is deserted, and there are complaints everywhere."
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's face was pale: "Haven't you already said it, what do you want to mention at this moment?" Rotten these words in your stomach, otherwise even the old man will not be able to protect you. ”
When the envoy heard the remarks of the Ministry of Rites, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he still defended: "My lord, these things are seen by the villain with his own eyes, and he does not dare to deceive in the slightest......
"And the most important thing is that the king of Han is indeed preparing for rebellion, casting weapons and armor privately, and even gathering militia on a large scale, and it is rumored that the king of Han has reached an agreement with the thieves, and he will inevitably counterattack the capital within half a month."
As soon as the envoy said this, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly couldn't sit still!
Fiercely, he stood up from the stone bench: "It's nonsense, if you are allowed to enter the palace to see Your Majesty, then it will be repaid?" King Han abides by rules and disciplines, how could he do such a thing...... It's probably that there are too many rebels in the state, and the king of Han can't distinguish between them, and the erroneous remarks preached by those rebels are what make you misunderstood, can you hear my words clearly? ”
The messenger blinked, only to feel that his head was full of confusion.
He had already made it very clear just now, this was not the chaos of those rebels at all, they were blocked in Changbai Mountain by General Xiao alone!
It's even difficult to protect yourself, how can you still have the ability to stir up the wind and rain?
This is a man-made sin of the Han king.
Forcefully conscripting the people, rushing into the army, and building a large number of armor and weapons, what is he not trying to rebel for?
Thinking of this, the envoy immediately defended: "My lord, a certain family has made it very clear that the king of Han is suspected of rebellion!" Just as His Majesty was worried, if the Lord intended to gag the mouth of a certain family and prevent a certain family from telling His Majesty the truth, it would be absolutely impossible. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.
Although the old man has no real power, especially after Yang Guang took the throne, he has weakened the power of the Ministry of Rites many times, but it is not a small captain like you who dares to provoke and confront!
Shang Shu's face turned red when he was on the board, and he shouted angrily: "Bold, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites, but you don't listen to Ben Shangshu's training, it seems that you are going to merge with the state, I am afraid that you have become a pawn of others, and you are colluding with the thieves of Changbai Mountain, otherwise why would you say such a rebellious thing!" ”
The messenger's eyes changed: "Your Excellency...... There is absolutely no chance of collusion with the anti-thief, and a certain family is loyal to the Great Sui, so how can he talk nonsense and rebel. ”
This question completely angered the Ministry of Rites.
"Good boy, it's really stubborn, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, if you are released in front of Your Majesty, I am afraid that you will bark like a mad dog, and someone will first detain this person into the case file of the Ministry of Rites, and no one is allowed to release it without the order of the old man."
Hearing only a loud noise, the house slaves of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion poured out, and the envoy never thought that in the family of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who sent him to Bingzhou to find out the news, he would be treated like this, and he was even more arrested by several people without any precautions.
It struggled violently, its pupils bloodshot, and shouted loudly, "My lord, you need to know how much is involved in what you are doing now!" The king of Han already has the intention of rebellion, and if he is prepared more, I am afraid that many families will be ruined and their souls will return to the yellow sand. ”
The eyes of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu flashed: "Quickly imprison this big rebellious thing, starve him for two or three days to see if he will be so hard-mouthed." ”
Saying this, these house slaves imprisoned this messenger in the study of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites!
A big five flowers tied up the locked door, here is a front yard of Shangshu Mansion. It's completely quiet.
The Ministry of Rites sighed, and his intuitive son suddenly weighed like a thousand pounds, and sat back on the stone bench with difficulty, looking at the oldest tea on the tea table, and he was also taking a sip unintentionally.
"King Han, King Han, are you really so confused, for the sake of Yang Su's death, do you really want to rebel against the rule of His Majesty today? It's just that the old man is already weak and weak, and he has no real power, but he can't fight side by side with the King of Han, so that's all he can do, and I hope that the King of Han can prepare as soon as possible, don't be like Yang Su, from beginning to end! ”
Lao Shangshu drank the tea in one gulp, and looked at the door as expected.
Sure enough, a little eunuch in the palace was under the guidance of Jia Ding. I came to the spacious courtyard.
"And the messenger who returned from the state received the order."
When the little eunuch saw the book of the Ministry of Rites, he said it with a pinched throat.
The Ministry of Rites and the family members immediately knelt down and bowed.
"Your Majesty has an order, ordering the envoys returning from Bingzhou to enter the palace immediately to meet them!"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu frowned!
The little eunuch keenly caught the expression on his face: "Lord Shangshu, is there a problem? A certain family learned from the mouth of the envoy's family that this person has been in Shangshu Mansion since returning from Bingzhou, could it be that Lord Shangshu has become a teacher who kills people and destroys mouths! ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Although he expected that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui would summon this person, he didn't expect that it would be a holy decree!
And it came so quickly that he was unprepared!
Thinking of the envoy who was imprisoned in the study at the moment, and the performance of himself who had already revealed that he was a three-point Han king, if this envoy came to His Majesty and talked nonsense, I am afraid that he would also be implicated!
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's eyes rolled: "I hope that my father-in-law will know that the person was indeed in my Shangshu Mansion before, but he had left before a stick of incense, and it is estimated that he has returned home at this moment, and his father-in-law has run in vain!" ”
