After the dynasty, the first thing Guo Chong did was to ask about the funeral of Lin Jue and Yan Fang to show his concern.
"Lin Jue, how is Yan Aiqing and Fang Aiqing's funeral? Tell me and the rest of you. I was buried yesterday. ”
Lin Jue immediately made a detailed report, but in fact, not many people were willing to listen, and a group of people thought anxiously in their hearts: The temporary convening of the early dynasty is to report these things? Who cares how two dead people are buried? What kind of fame is this Lin Jue, the emperor is also messing around with him.
After Guo Chong listened to Lin Jue's report, he nodded and said, "Lin Jue, you have done a good job, the two Aiqing are in peace, and I am also at ease." Tell Yan Aiqing and Fang Aiqing's families on my behalf, let them mourn and change, and tell me if they have any needs, and I will take care of them. ”
Lin Jue nodded yes, and then suddenly fell into an awkward silence in the court. Guo Chong didn't know what to say, and the officials didn't have any idea of doing something at all. Lin Jue only stood there and muttered. This is a rare embarrassing scene in the court.
Guo Chong was waiting for Lin Jue to say that he was going to discuss in front of him, but seeing Lin Jue standing there without speaking, he reminded a little impatiently: "Do you Aiqing have any important things to discuss?" If not, I will retreat. ”
"The ministers have nothing to report." Everyone said.
Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue, who was still standing there frowning. Guo Chong decided not to wait any longer, raised his hand and said, "Then, let's retreat." Let's disperse. ”
"Wait!" Lin Jue finally spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." ”
Guo Chong smacked his lips and said, "What's the matter with you?" Come on. ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Weichen wants to impeach three people. ”
The hundred officials were shocked and looked at Lin Jue in surprise. Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and the others were already leaving, and their eyes widened at this moment.
"Oh? Impeachment of others? Who are you going to impeach? Guo Chong asked.
"The ministers impeached Lu Zhongtian, the current prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jun, the current privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and your son, the emperor, Guo Xu, the king of Huai. It was these three men who wanted to be impeached. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.
Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue in shock, he never expected that Lin Jue's request for the convening of the morning court report today was actually to impeach Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and the second prince Guo Xu, which made Guo Chong not know what to say for a while.
Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun were also full of consternation, but soon, this consternation turned into a sneer. The officials were stunned at first, but soon they all whispered.
"Crazy, isn't this Lin Jue? What is he going to do? Impeachment of Lu Xiang and Yang Shumi? Take out His Royal Highness King Huai? Biting three people at once. ”
"Isn't it? I must have lost my mind. Could it be that his teacher died and was stimulated? This is no joke. ”
"I don't know. Maybe there's something we don't know, but listen, there must be a reason. ”
"Yes, yes, and listen."
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Guo Chong came back to his senses. He said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you have been busy with the funerals of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru recently, and it is said that you have worked very hard. In addition, you and Fang Dunru have a deep relationship between master and apprentice, and you will be in a low mood and in a bad mood when Fang Dunru dies, I can understand it. Lin Jue, you better go back and rest for a few days, calm down your mood well, as time goes by, the pain may decrease slightly, and everything will be fine. Don't ramble around here. ”
Guo Chong said this out of good intentions, he was giving Lin Jue a step and hint, so that Lin Jue could take back Shicai's words and not make a big deal about it. Although he didn't know why Lin Jue impeached these three people, he vaguely felt that this was Lin Jue's revenge, and it must be related to the death of Yan Fang and the others.
But Lin Jue didn't take Guo Chong's words at all, and reiterated again: "Your Majesty, the minister is not tired, the minister knows what he is doing." Today, the minister is going to impeach Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian, privy envoy Yang Jun, and Huai King Guo Xu. Chancellor didn't go crazy! ”
Guo Chong frowned, leaned back, and said in his heart: I'm afraid that this year will not be good again, I have a headache, a real headache. How can there be so many tricky things in the DPRK and China? It was eventful.
Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin wants to impeach the old minister, Yang Shumi, and His Royal Highness King Huai, and the emperor should let him finish his words." Otherwise, the old ministers and others can't afford this reputation. ”
Yang Jun also stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "What Lu Xiang said is very true, the ministers work diligently, but they don't dare to bear the reputation of being impeached, they must always find out." Even if Lord Lin was saddened by the death of Lord Fang and Lord Yan, he could not talk nonsense and impeach the important ministers of the court because of this. Be sure to ask the emperor to allow Lord Lin to speak clearly. ”
Guo Chong sighed and said in his heart: Since you all refuse to let me live a stable year, I can only watch you toss. It's a big deal for me to watch a show. You bite each other.
"That being the case, Lin Jue, I will allow you to finish your words. What are the reasons why you want to impeach Lu Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, and Guo Xu. I would like to remind you that falsely accusing important officials of the court is a serious crime. You have to think it through. Guo Chong said coldly.
Lin Jue sighed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen is very clear, since Weichen dares to come out to impeach these three people, he naturally understands the consequences, thank you for the emperor's reminder." If the impeachment of Wechen is false, he is willing to accept any punishment. ”
Guo Chong nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, you can tell me what your reasons are for impeaching the three of them." ”
Lin Jue bowed and said yes, turned his head to look at Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, his eyes were like electricity. Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun have been fighting for a long time, but when they saw Lin Jue's eyes, they inexplicably felt a chill in their hearts.
"What the minister wants to impeach Lu Zhongtian is that Lu Zhongtian, as the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, should be loyal to the Holy Lord, and devote himself to the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, assist the monarch, and stabilize the dynasty. In the decision of major affairs, it is reasonable to think about Zhou Xiang. Failure to do so is incompetence or ulterior motives. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Lu Zhongtian frowned and shouted: "Lin Jue, the old man still thinks you can say something new, what you said is not clear, it is obviously a big crime to the old man." Why is the old man inconsiderate and incompetent? And what kind of ulterior motives? If you want to frame the old man, you must at least have a specific case, not just talk about it. ”
Guo Chong also frowned and said: "Yes, Lin Jue, I remind you that there is no evidence to arbitrarily insert charges and no, I must not listen to this." ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Of course, there are specific cases. Prime Minister Lu, let me ask you, what caused the Qingjiao rebellion? ”
Lu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and sneered: "This is also to ask the old man?" The cause of the rebellion of the Qingjiao has been determined, and the shortcomings of the new law have led to a lot of resentment among the people, and the Liao people have seized the opportunity to support the cult to cause rebellion, causing a great disaster. The root lies in this new law. Fortunately, the emperor Shengming has suspended the implementation of the new law, and I will put things in order in the big week, and in the future, the people's will will be stabilized, and the country and the people will be safe. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay." Maybe it's the wrong way I'm asking, I'll ask Lu Xiang another question. Who first discovered the signs of Qingjiao's growth? ”
Lu Zhongtian frowned and thought for a while, "This ...... What does it have to do with your impeachment of the old man? ”
Lin Jue said: "The relationship is big. Lu Xiang doesn't want to answer, I'll answer for you. It was I who first discovered the Qingjiao sitting on the big side, when the lower officials were still serving in the Kaifeng Prefecture Criminal Division, and Changheng County reported the case of the Mo couple killing their own daughter, and the lower officials sent people to arrest the criminals, but they were detained by the Qingjiao disciples. Only then did Xia Guan go to get people in person, but he was obstructed by the Qingjiao sect and barely got out. After coming back, Xia Guan felt that this matter was strange, and when he saw the Qingjiao preaching on the street in Yingtianfu before, he was shocked to realize that the Qingjiao seemed to have a plan. After that, the lower official reported the matter to Lord Zhu Zhirong, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Lord Zhu Zhirong reported it to Lu Xiang, yes or no? ”
Lu Zhongtian frowned and thought for a while: "That's true, so what? Are you going to take credit? The emperor has already rewarded you, are you afraid that the court will not know about it? ”
Lin Jue sneered: "Invite merit? Do you still need to invite the credit of the lower officials in the rebellion of the Youth Sect? What I'm talking about is not a matter of inviting or not inviting credit, Lu Xiang should not deviate from the topic. The lower official asked you again, how did Lu Xiang deal with this matter after learning about it? ”
Lu Zhongtian's heart froze, he seemed to sense the meaning of Lin Jue's words, and said coldly: "How to deal with this appearance, do I need to report to you?" What a joke. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Lu Xiang refuses to say, Xia Guan is young and has a good memory, but he remembers it very clearly." The lower official said it for you. Lu Xiang did not go to the imperial court to inform the Qingjiao of the big seat, but in the name of the Qingjiao cultists attacking the official mission, he mobilized a 500-strong army and horse of the front division of the palace, and escorted the Mo couple who were arrested from Changheng County and returned to Beijing to Changheng County to hold a public trial meeting, yes or no? ”
Lu Zhongtian's expression became a little nervous, and he shouted coldly: "So what? Ben Xiang did this to deter the Qingjiao people and let them know the fate of the rebellion against the imperial court. Isn't it right to do this? ”
Lin Jue laughed and said, "Right or wrong, the result is decided." Let me ask Lu Xiang, since you already know that the Qingjiao is big, why did you send someone to escort the Mo couple to Changheng County for public trial and beheading? The Mo couple have been arrested by the lower officials and taken back to Beijing, and they want to punish Zike for execution in the capital, and Lu Xiang Baba sent five hundred forbidden troops to escort them to Changheng County for execution, what does that mean? ”
Lu Zhongtian said angrily: "The original picture said that it was to deter the sect members. ”
Lin Jue sneered: "Is it shocked? The actions of the 500 forbidden troops in Changheng County triggered a riot in Changheng County, and Changheng County was destroyed in one fell swoop. Although he killed thousands of cultists, he was attacked on the way back and wiped out. This incident was the trigger for the entire Qingjiao rebellion. Lu Xiang may say that this is the fault of the bandits. But I want to ask Lu Xiang, knowing that the bandits are big, they still want to send the Mo couple to Changheng County for public trial to provoke the Qingjiao people, what kind of behavior is this? As the prime minister of the Great Zhou, don't you know the consequences of doing this? Anyone in that situation will think twice and consider the situation comprehensively. Since the Qingjiao has become overwhelming, when with the permission of the imperial court and preparations, the Qingjiao will be strangled in one fell swoop before the rebellion starts. And what Lu Xiang did, he frightened the snake and provoked the Qingjiao, causing the Qingjiao bandits to realize that they had nothing to hide, so they immediately rebelled. Instead, he killed the imperial court and caught him off guard. Overnight, all the eastern and western roads in Beijing were lost, and the five counties in northern Beijing were occupied by bandits. It even threatened the security of the capital for a time. How many people died in quelling this rebellion? How much silver was spent? Lu Xiang, don't you feel the slightest sense of guilt? ”
