Chapter 377: Two Phases in a Dilemma

Just as Chen Ningmo was thinking about what had happened, he saw that Chen Hong had already stood up, walked up to the Empress Dowager Xie and whispered a few words, and the Empress Dowager Xie's face sank instantly, nodded at Chen Hong, and waved him to leave.

Chen Hong didn't hesitate, and strode out of the hall quickly, so fast that even the red-clothed attendant who came to report didn't keep up with his footsteps.

After about a quarter of an hour like this, a small chamberlain suddenly came to Chen Ningmo's front and whispered: "University scholar, the official family is urgent, please hurry to the 100 million years old hall." ”

Chen Ningmo's heart flashed, and she already understood that something big must have happened in the court, but she was a virtual university scholar, and she was a woman, so she didn't know what the emperor's brother wanted to ask her to do?

However, she didn't think much about it, she nodded to the little waiter, and got up to walk around.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate and stepped down the nine steps, Chen Ningmo heard a call from behind, stood up and looked back, but saw that the person who came was the youngest prime minister of the dynasty, Xie Junhao, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Chen Ningmo has always disliked Xie Junhao as a person, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he said lightly: "Look at this appearance, what's the matter?" Could it be that Xie Xianggong is also going to face the saint? ”

Xie Junhao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I just received an order from the official family, Ning Mo, let's go over together." ”

"Okay," Chen Ningmo didn't want to say more to him, so he nodded neatly, and under the guidance of the inner servant, he walked towards the Yisui Palace.

The Yisui Palace is located in the west of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and it is the place where the Emperor of Great Qi meets with ministers and discusses national affairs.

At that time, it was already the third watch, and Chen Ningmo and Xie Junhao, who had just come to the Yisui Palace, were very sensitive to the fact that the guards of the Yisui Hall tonight were unusually strict.

Not only is the temple surrounded by guards standing in the feather forest, but even on the platform outside the palace, there is a forbidden army, and the Huanghuang torches illuminate the surroundings as if it were day.

Seeing this, Chen Ningmo's heart chuckled, and he climbed the steps with a calm face and walked into the hall, and when he entered the brightly lit Yisui Palace, he was surprised by the ministers standing inside.

In addition to Chen Hong, the Son of Heaven, there are still six people in the hall, namely:

When the prime minister of the dynasty, Shangshu ordered Wang Anshi;

When the prime minister of the dynasty and the secretary of the Chinese book ordered Sima Guang;

Yang Wenguang, the prime minister and privy envoy of the current dynasty;

Quan Zhi Luoyang Mansion Yin Baozheng;

Jin Wuwei General Chen Jian.

It can be said that all of them are extremely prominent ministers.

And the other person is the champion Sima Tang, and I don't know how he appeared in this palace where important ministers gathered.

Chen Ningmo and Xie Junhao were just about to salute the Son of Heaven, but Chen Hong had already waved his hand and said: "Quick, just wait for you, the situation is critical, the false courtesy can be avoided, little Sima Aiqing, quickly tell you Aiqing about the situation." ”

Sima Tang surrendered his order, and under the gaze of the Son of Heaven and several important ministers, he did not have stage fright, and brought what happened tonight as it was.

As soon as I heard a few words, I learned that there was a boatload of students who had been kidnapped by the Ming Sect, and all the ministers present were shocked, and their faces became very ugly.

And Chen Ningmo, as the prince of the country, was even more pretty and pale, and his delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

Speaking of the back, Sima Tang choked up, and arched his hand to Chen Hong, who was sitting on the throne: "The official family, now the Ming Sect bandits have dozens of lives in their hands, and the little sister Sima Wei is also among them, and I also ask the official family to immediately dispatch an army to rescue the Taixue." "Say that, bow deeply.

By the time his words had been spoken for a long time, the hall was still eerily quiet.

Just after half a ring, Chen Hongfang slapped the royal case heavily, and said angrily: "The thieves of the Ming Sect are really hateful, they actually have the audacity to sneak into Luoyang to kidnap the students, and they are also threatened in turn, and they want to negotiate conditions with the imperial court. ”

There was another silence, and Wang Anshi first said in a deep voice: "Sima Zhuangyuan, just now you explained what the name of the person who wants to be released by the imperial court?" ”

Before Sima Tang could speak, Sima Guang had already said in a muffled voice: "His name is Duan Chenxi, he is the left envoy of the Ming Sect, who was arrested by the Luoyang government a month ago, and is now imprisoned in the Luoyang Prison. ”

Bao Zheng, known as the "blue sky" among the people, is already sixty years old, and he is not as black as charcoal as in the later generations, but he is white and pure, quite a bit of Confucian demeanor.

Hearing this, he stroked the long beautiful beard under his chin, and replied calmly: "Officials, colleagues, not long ago, the yamen of Luoyang Mansion did arrest Duan Chenxi, the left envoy of Mingjiao, and now this person is being held in prison pending trial, but I didn't expect that tonight the Mingjiao thieves actually sneaked into Luoyang to threaten the imperial court to release people, so it can be seen that this person is really very important to Mingjiao, as for whether to release him according to Mingjiao's words, please also ask the officials and ministers to think carefully. ”

Chen Hong sighed and said in embarrassment: "The other party has more than ninety students in his hands, and Prime Minister Sima's daughter is also among them, it's really difficult!" ”

Xie Junhao has always been a young man, and he can't see the ministers procrastinating like this, so he simply expressed his attitude directly: "Official, Mingjiao's move can be described as sinister, more than ninety students are indeed too heavy, for the imperial court, releasing Duan Chenxi alone, and rescuing the students seems to be particularly cost-effective, however, Weichen feels that since it is the imperial court, how can he give in to these thieves?" If the thief releases people according to the words of the thief, where is the prestige of the court? Where is the power of the Son of Heaven? Doesn't this make the whole world laugh! ”

"Xie Xianggong's words are good." Chen Jian, the general of Jin Wuwei, also said with a tense face, "If a precedent is set today and the disciples of Mingjiao taste the sweetness, then from now on, as long as there is a major event, Mingjiao will hold a few Taijiao students hostage to make the court soften, how will we deal with it?" Therefore, Weichen felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, and immediately dispatched a large army to storm the painting boat and rescue the students. ”

This remark can be described as sonorous and powerful, and it also made everyone present feel awe-inspired.

For the time being, a forcible attack is indeed the most straightforward and most in line with the wishes of the Son of Heaven's ministers, which can not only cut off the threat of the Ming Sect, but also show that the imperial court will never compromise, which is indeed very good.

"No way!" Suddenly, a woman's angry voice sounded.

The monarchs and ministers in the palace looked up, but saw that the person who spoke was Chen Ningmo, a scholar of Guozicheng and Jiying Palace.

Hearing Xie Junhao's words of forcible attack, Chen Ningmo's face was flushed, her delicate body trembled, and Shi Cai's shout used all her strength, and at this time, she blushed and angrily reprimanded: "Xie Xianggong, General Chen, the Mingjiao disciples have ninety students in their hands, that is, ninety lives, how can you be so irresponsible and say the words of forcible attack?" If it is not handled properly, resulting in large casualties among the students, how will the imperial court explain to their parents?! ”
