Chapter 111: The Final Battle of Wei

Liu Jizong wore a star dou red crown salute, a black and slightly red python robe, and nine pythons and four toes on the robe were spitting out fog. The wide sleeves are sewn with thousands of strands of gold silk edges, full of satin such as eight dragons, and the gold and jade inlaid with the east bead belt. Except for the color of the robe, which is different from the apricot yellow used by the royal family, the rest are all in accordance with the supreme dress system.

This is the town is far away!

"Minister, there is something to do!" In the lonely Jinxiao Palace, Wuhou bowed slightly and bowed to the saint, and his words were magnificent, changing the image of talking about politics and silence in the past.

"Speak. Kang Jia's face was calm, but the residual fire in the cavity was not small, and he was impatient when he saw Liu Jizong's calm appearance.

"The minister played the seal of the seal Si Wei Xian privately resisted the emperor's order, and poisoned the Qin prisoner Qiu Yanbin with a personal vendetta. Arbitrarily deceived His Majesty, and said in the above table that the execution would be carried out on schedule. However, if it is not true, the sin will have died in prison. ”

The court was in an uproar, and the members of the eunuch party were even more stunned, not knowing that the always neutral Wuhou would openly make enemies of Wei Xian at such a juncture.

"General Qiu's matter, I have already sent someone from Dali Temple to investigate. Wei Xian also gave me an explanation. I know you feel sorry for your subordinates, but it's over, there's no need to hold on to it. "Qiu Yanbin's death is understandable to Kang Jia, the sin is unforgivable, and the result of early death and late death is the same. So he was annoyed that he was a little unhappy with Wuhou's sideways move.

Liu Jizong was unmoved, but still shook his body and said: "The emperor's order is like the sky, and the ministers should obey every word." Today, the Qin offender can not follow the order of the Son of Heaven to kill him, and in the future, there will be a pretense of the king to seek personal gain and arouse the anger of the people. ”

Zhu Yezhao, who had been thinking about the matter of Yan Qin Jiangyang and was absent-minded, heard the hidden meaning in his words, and his scattered gaze immediately swept across the hall and returned to Zhen Yuanhou, the corners of his mouth curled up and asked with a strange smile: "Could it be that Wuhou knows something else?"

"Minister, I don't know. Liu Jizong decisively refused.

Kang Jia's illusion shattered with another repetition, and he stood up from the dragon chair in a rage, so frightened that the palace maids who were slapping their hands all bowed their knees to apologize.

The heads of the hundred officials were lowered again and again, but the Hou Ye was like a mountain standing in place.

The hysterical roar pierced everyone's eardrums: "I have made you a martial marquis with a different surname, who else do you need to be afraid of in the whole world except me! Do you dare to protect you even at the risk of bullying the king! Speak! Tell me everything! Don't tell you, I will let you all kneel until you are willing to speak!"

Liu Jizong, who lowered his eyebrows, was secretly happy, and it really worked. He put on a painful look of determination and said: "The minister knows that the Yanqin Miao Rebellion is the source of the Jiangyang Strike. ”

In an instant, the entire glorious and vast treasure hall could only hear the sound of the emperor grinding his teeth with hatred.

"The minister has a certificate, please take a look at it. Liu Jizong took out a booklet from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

The poor imperial eunuch wished that his father and mother would give him an extra leg, so he took the book down the steps in three steps and two steps, and sent it to the emperor without any stop.

Zhu Yezhao opened the cover and found that it was actually an account book. His brows browled into a sickle, and he listened to Liu Jizong's continued report: "Yanqin is a poor and remote country, but the people enjoy the blessings of His Majesty, and even if the harvest is difficult, they still pay taxes truthfully every year. There is not much left in every household, every bit is the people's fat and people's ointment, and it is hateful that some people in the court have to squeeze out their last life-saving money. ”

The sound of the paper turning became faster and faster, and Zhen Yuanhou's voice became louder and louder: "Your Majesty is looking at the mine collection pen in the past six years of Yanqin, and it seems to have been used to fill in the tax on the surface, but any account clerk can see that this account is ten out of ten frauds." ”

"In the name of the imperial court, it is the will of His Majesty. Xiaomin's vision is limited, where do they understand that there are people who are fake tigers. They couldn't survive and naturally fell into the mountains, and finally hated the mediocrity of the court, scolded the Son of Heaven for being immoral, but the traitors were greedy. ”

Liu Jizong didn't plan to finish, and the words that came out of his mouth went to the next level: "The first emperor implemented benevolent government, and the small tribes were willing to live in harmony with the Han people." The Miao rebellion is still the beginning, and if it is not quelled as soon as possible, it will cause other Yirong to turn away. At that time, Dayu is divided into civil strife, how can the Holy One continue to say that the prosperous Kangjia is prosperous?"

Zhu Yezhao pinched the account book, and said with hatred: "This person is shameless to enter the ancestral hall after his death!"

"Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself. Liu Jizong persuaded with good words, and continued to report despite the emperor's murderous face: "As for Jiangyang's strike, the main reason is that the merchants can't afford to do business in the capital. ”

"Can't afford to do business? Jiangyang is known as the land of fish and rice, can't it be that you can't afford to save money in Beijing?!"

Seven or eight adults in the black-pressed civil official pile heard where the sword was pointing in the far distance, and someone immediately came out and shouted: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to one-sided words!"

Emperor Kang Jia, who had just lowered his temper, seemed to rekindle as if he had charcoal: "Did I let you speak? You really don't take me seriously, do you? Come on, drag down the court staff for sixty!"

In the blink of an eye, the man was taken down by the ghost crying wolf, and the courtiers guessed who did not know the current affairs, and secretly glanced at it only to find that it was Wei Qiansui's most beloved godson - Fan Xiang who was taken away.

The eunuchs no longer had the courage to touch the signs of the Son of Heaven, on the other hand, the Beishu Party, which had been bullied to the point of surviving, almost clapped their hands.

Liu Jizong was not disturbed at all, and said bluntly: "The emperor doesn't know that all businesses in the capital must now pay a lot of 'residence fees'. The businessmen in Jiangyang opened a branch in the capital every year, and they were afraid that they would not be able to earn back the capital, but they were driven by someone who was obscene and did not dare to withdraw their capital, so they had no choice but to strike the business to express injustice. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe what Weichen said, you can ask the governor of Jiangyang if what the minister said is true. Wu Hou stopped at the point, and then worshiped the Son of Heaven and asked him to consult circumstantial evidence.

Zhu Yezhao suppressed his anger, and the nerd also saw that he had become a dam to block the flood, waiting for the last drop of water to burst the embankment to join in.

"Is the governor of Jiangyang available?"

"The minister is here. ”

"Is what Zhen Yuanhou said true?" the Son of Heaven leaned over and deliberately reminded: "Tell me honestly." If it's a little fake, I will first rip off your official clothes and fill the army. ”

The governor of Jiangyang had weak legs and feet, and he was crawling on the ground and crying: "Your Majesty! The minister can't stand it, please remove the minister from his official position, and let the minister return to his hometown!"

"What kind of system is crying and crying, what kind of pain is there for you, I will make the decision for you!"

The governor choked up intermittently and complained: "The merchants in Jiangyang are indeed closed, and in many places because of the lack of food and cloth, the people in the prefecture and county have deep grievances and blame the imperial court. They blocked the mansions of the officials in the city, and they beat people when they saw them..."

"Needless to say. The emperor narrowed his eyes with murderous intent, "Liu Jizong, you tell me, who is the audacity to force my people to have to rebel!"

At this point, Wuhou was silent, he gently took off the python robe on his body under Zhu Yezhao's surprised gaze, and carefully folded it on the ground. Then Zhen Yuanhou, who saw the king's pardon and did not kneel, lowered his head heavily and kowtowed: "When I see him today, it will be the last time the old minister will see His Majesty." Even if Your Majesty is protecting, it is a pity that the traitor is powerful, and the ministers will suffer accidents in the future, I hope Your Majesty will take care!"

Seeing this, Liu Jizong said his last words: "The minister impeached Wei Xian, the palm seal division, for the crime of seizing the world!"

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and within the four seas, there are all kings' ministers. There are people in Dayu who speak more effectively than the emperor, and killing the canonized prince is actually a gesture - that's okay!

The straw that broke the camel's back finally fell, and the eunuchs were silent, and no one dared to come out and defend themselves.

Zhu Yezhao's eyes were bloodshot, he ignored the chaotic corona, and roared like a beast: "I order you to put on a python robe! Put it on! I want to see who dares to let you die! Wei Xian, come on! Bring Wei Xian to me! Quick, quick!"
