Chapter 821 Taishi sells medicine
The emperor coughed, picked up the jade cup on the table, drank a sip of hot tea, gently put it down, picked up the yellow silk and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Can the chaos party be executed yet? I heard that the cabinet has been properly dealing with the aftermath in the past few days, and the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are responsible for dealing with the remnants of the chaos party. Since it is a rebellion, it is naturally the case that it will be executed. Why did the cabinet not order the execution?"
Xiao Wanchang immediately said: "The emperor has many rebellious parties involved in this case, and there are nearly 3,000 families in custody. If the investigation continues, there will probably be many. However, now several counties in northern Kuaiji County are already quite unstable due to the rebellion of the Su family. If it involves too much, new rebellions may arise. However, since they have the intention to rebel, they will naturally investigate them to the end. Therefore... I dare not make a decision without authorization, and I also ask the emperor to tell you whether to execute the rebellious party in custody for stability or continue to investigate thoroughly?"
The emperor glanced at the ministers on both sides and said slowly: "Your cabinet has naturally discussed this matter, but what regulations are there?"
Hu Xuexin, the minister of Dali Temple, came out and said: "Returning to the emperor, all the ministers who are detained in prison must be executed as soon as possible. If they are not dealt with for a long time, they may cause other changes."
"Then kill it." The emperor said calmly: "The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice issued the order."
"Returning to the emperor, this case is very important, and there are many prisoners executed." Xiao Wanchang immediately said: "I ask the emperor to issue an order to execute the rebellion, announce it to the world, and show my royal majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, both ministers bowed and said, "Please issue an order to show my royal dignity!"
The emperor sneered in his heart, "This is not a royal majesty, it is obvious that he wants to raise the butcher's knife with his own hands and tell the subjects all over the world that the resolution to execute thousands of people this time is the decree of me, the emperor.
In the past, the cabinet could make the decision by killing officials. Today, these guys were forced to put this butcher knife into their own hands, but in terms of reason, it was reasonable.
It is natural for the rebellion to be at work and the emperor issued an order to execute the rebellion, and there is no way to refuse.
The emperor pondered for a moment, knowing that he would definitely not be able to fight with these guys in this matter, so he said calmly: "Transfer my will, and the rioters in prison will be executed immediately!"
"The Lord is wise!" the ministers said in unison.
Fan Yunao, Minister of War, made a list of words: "In this rebellion, the Volcano Camp and Fengxiang Camp were deceived by the Su family father and son, disturbing the emperor and turmoiling the capital. Although most of the soldiers were deceived, many of them were still following after knowing that the Su family was in chaos. Especially the Fengxiang Camp, besieged Dongcheng and controlled the official residences, and even clashed with the various residences, resulting in the death of countless officials' families. If this matter is not investigated and dealt with seriously, all officials in the court will be dissatisfied, and if the wrong punishment is imposed and not deterred, it is difficult to guarantee that the same thing will not happen in the future."
The emperor's expression began to get cold.
He is not a stupid person. Fan Yunao's words sounded very reasonable, but the emperor instantly felt alert. He had realized that these guys were probably going to attack the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Guard is a fatal killing weapon in the hands of the emperor. If he points the spearhead at the Imperial Guard, it is equivalent to starting to attack the emperor's protective weapons.
In fact, since that night, the emperor who was pretending to be sick was really angry and became sick.
The development of things was completely beyond his expectations, and it was not as he thought, and none of the benefits he planned to achieve was achieved.
He had expected the attack of the aristocratic family today.
There was a riot in the capital, cabinet officials were under house arrest, Dongcheng was controlled by the rebels, and the emperor held the troops of the two imperial guards, but closed the door and stopped moving, and did not even send out a decree. Although the emperor was so angry that he was sleeping for several days, it was obvious that these giants from aristocratic families could not take it seriously.
These angry ferocious wolves naturally cannot be without action after they regain the situation.
...
"Fan Aiqing is the Minister of War. You should have a scheming in your mind, right?" The emperor picked up the jade cup and said calmly: "The soldiers of both battalions have been trained hard, but they were bewitched by the Su family's father and son. Fan Aiqing would not think about executing both officers and soldiers of the two battalions, right?"
Fan Yunao said seriously: "I dare not, and although most of the soldiers of the two battalions participated in the rebellion, they just told the emperor that they were deceived and would not die. However, death sentences can be avoided, and living sentences cannot be escaped. If you can commit rebellion just because you are bewitched, then I am worried that such things will happen in the future. This wind must not be long!" He took out a note from his sleeve and presented it to him: "This is the method of handling, and I will ask the emperor to take a look!"
The eunuch beside the emperor hurried up, took the note with both hands, and carefully served it.
The emperor took the note, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly became cold and he threw the note on the table, and sneered: "Fan Aiqing, your method of dealing with it is really good!"
"This is only what I personally see, so please let the emperor decide everything." Fan Yunao is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Two battalions were lifted out." The emperor clenched his fists under the table: "Are you going to ask me to remove Fengxiang Camp and Volcano Camp?"
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers in the hall looked at each other, and they were a little surprised.
Fan Yunao, who did not show his mountains or water, took advantage of this opportunity to punch hard in an understatement.
Fan Yunao said seriously: "The many generals of the two battalions know that the Su family and Tang Mingwu were treacherous and conspired to rebel, but they helped the evildoer to commit rebellion. They must be severely punished. If they are not killed, it will be difficult to subdue the people. As long as the generals of the two battalions have participated in the rebellion, they must be executed for rebellion. As long as the soldiers of the two battalions are unintentional, they are rebellious. How can they serve as the imperial guards in the imperial city? Please disperse and distribute them to various places, and they can be punished for labor in various counties, or sent to the border for crimes and meritorious service!"
"Bang!"
The emperor was extremely angry. Although he was very tolerant, he could no longer control himself. The depression and attention accumulated in his heart arose and said in a deep voice: "You, Fan Yunao, will you decide the fate of the two battalions?"
He knew that he could no longer bear it at this time.
The five major camps of the Imperial Forest are the flesh on their bodies. If Fan Yunao said, they would chop off their hands and feet. How could he continue to endure it?
Fan Yunao was not afraid of the emperor's anger, and stood up with a strong body, saying with a serious expression: "Master, I am just doing my duty. If I continue to maintain two battalions and let the people of the world know that my imperial guards are still held by officers and soldiers participating in the rebellion, what do the people of the world think? Could it be that my Dayan has reached the point where there is no soldiers available, and can only retain the rebels?"
"You...!" Faced with Fan Yunao's firm words, the emperor's face turned pale, but he didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Just at this moment, the first in the upper head on the left finally came out of the queue tremblingly and bowed, saying, "Report to the emperor, the old minister thinks that what Secretary Fan's report is too extreme is not the best strategy!"
The emperor was stunned at first, but he immediately returned to calm. He smiled faintly and said, "Oh, does the old teacher have different opinions?"
Tai Shi Xiao looked old and said slowly: "What Secretary Fan said is naturally based on the system, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the old minister felt that the matter of abolishing the two battalions was not considered."
Fan Yunao smiled faintly and said, "What is the teaching of the Grand Master?"
"Shangshu Fan said just now that the two battalions of rebellion were dealt with in two ways. From the above-mentioned lieutenant, all those involved in the rebellion were executed, while the soldiers of the two battalions were dispersed and sent to various places." Taishi Xiao said calmly: "The old minister thinks this method of dealing with generals in the previous way makes sense. The so-called snake headless, and the soldiers of the two battalions are in chaos. In the final analysis, the generals of the two battalions are caused by the indiscriminate right and wrong. They know that it is a rebellion, but they still have to follow the Su father and son to rebel. This crime is unforgivable and must be executed."
The emperor frowned and his face looked quite ugly.
"But it is too extreme to lay off two battalions and send soldiers to various places." Grandmaster Xiao glanced at Fan Yunao next to him, and his voice was old: "Although they are guilty, they do not really want to rebel. The imperial guards have always been well-trained and obeyed military orders. Since the generals of each battalion issued military orders, how could they not implement it? Moreover, Shangshu Fan said, "It is a move that no one should do to keep the rebels in Dayan, but the old ministers do not think so."
Although the emperor didn't know what to do in Taishi Xiao's gourd for a while, in his opinion, this was another battle between the two factions. In this new round of political reshuffle, Taishi Xiao must have wanted to make some benefits for the Xiao family.
Not only did he think so, but most of the people present also thought so.
After all, everyone is used to this kind of struggle, so they don’t care. They just wait for the opportunity to come out and attack.
However, Taishi Xiao’s words meant to protect the two battalions, which was naturally in line with the emperor’s interests, so the emperor nodded slightly and nodded, “The Taishi is a successful country, I wonder what his opinion is there?”
"The old minister thinks that the five major camps of the Imperial Ground are all first-class warriors carefully selected, and it is difficult for the whole country to find such elite soldiers. Moreover, the world knows that the five major camps of the Imperial Ground are all brave and good at fighting. They are famous all over the world. The energy, time and money spent on cultivating these brave men is extremely huge. It is almost impossible to re-select and train such brave soldiers within three or two years. If these two battalions are cut off, it will be equivalent to self-destructive and cut off the two most combat-capable armies of our Great Yan." After the Taishi Xiao finished speaking, he immediately coughed violently, and even took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth. His old body was even more shaky. The important officials on both sides saw it and were even worried that the old master would fall down at any time.
Some of them thought to themselves: "The Grand Master is old after all, and I'm afraid he has not had much time and can't live long!"
Fan Yunao said calmly and asked lightly: "The Taishi's meaning is to let these rebels ignore it, and just let it go? But the Taishi doesn't think about how to look at our Dayan court if people in the world know that soldiers are rebelling but do not punish them? Do I really have no military law?"
Master Xiao smiled and said, "Sir Fan is a little calm!"
The ministers looked at each other inadvertently, but for a moment they could not understand Tai Shi Xiao’s thoughts.
This time it was a great opportunity to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the royal family. There was a very high-sounding reason for the layoffs of the two battalions. As long as the ministers work together, the emperor would not be able to do so even if he wanted to lay off the power.
Moreover, the weakening of the royal family will naturally benefit the aristocratic families.
Master Xiao came out to stop him. What medicine is this old fox selling?
