Chapter seven hundred and ten, the ruler and the minister are suspicious!(1/2)
Chapter 710: The king and his subjects are suspicious!
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In the court, the monarch was high above, and civil and military officials stood on both sides of the hall.
Since the death of the late emperor last year, his brother, King Fu, ascended the throne, which is now King Xifeng Hui.
King Hui was in the position of the Supreme Nine Five, looked at the many ministers in front of him with condescending attention, but he did not have much domineering spirit. He was listless and yawning, and said weakly: "The Peacock King summoned the Nine Kingdom Notes, and the ministers took out a charter. If the Nine Kingdom Notes are not allowed, we will go or not? What if we go? So what if we don't go?"
"Your Majesty, the Maurya King is the king of the Maurya Dynasty, not the king of our West Wind Empire - his gathering is simply a matter of ill-intention. It would be better if we don't go here if we don't go." A young minister stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, the Nine Kingdom Notes are a gathering of the Nine Kingdoms. Every contracted country has the right to convene a gathering. If we don't go, all other countries will go. Does that mean that our West Wind Empire is not among the nine powerful countries?" A well-established minister said.
"I still have to go there - but the words of Mr. Li just now make sense. The Peacock King is uneasy and considers himself as the leader of the Shenzhou after getting the seal of the world. It is really ridiculous-"
"A small magic weapon, even if it has the magical power of overwhelming mountains and seas, but our West Wind Empire has millions of powerful soldiers, and there are also powerful stars like the old immortal Song. What kind of wind and waves can they afford—"
“That’s all I don’t care.”
"If you don't go, how do you know what conspiracy the Peacock King is going to do?"—
As soon as King Hui's problem was thrown out, all the civil and military ministers below were quarreling.
The middle-aged man standing on the right side of the civil minister frowned slightly, crossed two steps, and went to the center of the hall, bowed and said to King Hui who was sitting in the upper position: "Your Majesty, the Majesty, the Majesty, the Majesty, summoned the Nine Kingdom Notes and invited the royal families of all countries to participate. I thought we should send people. One is the etiquette of the West Wind royal family. What if the royal family of other countries does not send representatives to come next time when I am the West Wind summoned the Nine Kingdom Notes and the royal family of other countries did not send representatives to come? Second, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the country, if you don't even have the courage to go and explore, you will lose the etiquette of a great country. Third, let us see what the Peacock King wants to do at the conference."
"Although the Jade Seal of All Spirits is superb, you will have the opportunity to become the co-lord of China when you get it. But does the Peacock King really have such a luxury? I am afraid that if he shows such an intention, he will be attacked by other countries - it is also a good show to think of it. Whether it is the attitude of the Peacock King or the reactions of the royal families of other countries to this, we must know our own and enemy. Therefore, these nine countries have to send people to our West Wind Empire."
The speaker is Gu Qinglin, the right person in Xifeng. Gu Qinglin is the son-in-law of the Song family and the head of the civil servants in Xifeng court.
Before the Lu family collapsed, there were rumors that Lu Xingkong wanted to seize the position of left prime minister. Unfortunately, before the position of left prime minister could be taken into the naan, his family was already confiscated for the crime of rebellion, which is also a satirical idea.
It is precisely because of this that the position of the Left Prime Minister is still vacant until now.
After hearing Gu Qinglin's words, other officials agreed.
"Gu Xiang is a loyal and righteous word."
"Gu Xiang's words are reasonable, and we will discuss them."
"Gu Xiang is thoughtful, but we are short-sighted and do not see it clearly—"—
King Hui had known this was the situation long ago.
Whenever he raises a question and Gu Qinglin doesn't say anything, it's fine, and everyone will discuss it symbolically. Once Gu Qinglin stands up and speaks, no one will raise objections. What he, a prime minister, says is much more useful than what he, the king, says.
There is no way, who made him the spokesperson of Song in the court?
However, Gu Qinglin is also extremely smart and will not make things difficult for himself to show his majesty. Most of the time, he still has to take into account the face of King Hui and maintain a unified pace. He will stand up and make his own voice on a very rare occasion.
King Hui yawned again, looking exhausted after a long time. He was really hardworking. The concubines from the recent talent show were pretty good, which made him work hard day and night. Zhang Qu, who was in charge of the selection of concubines, was also highly praised by him.
"Since all the ministers think that it is necessary for me, Xifeng, to send someone to attend the note, then you will discuss who to send, right?"
So, the court once again started to talk.
"Your Majesty, I believe that General Yan Bolai is suitable for this position. General Yan has rich resumes and is mature and steady——"
"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Cheng Gang is suitable-"
"I have someone who recommends it-"-
King Hui sat upright, looked at Gu Qinglin with a smile, and said, "Does the Prime Minister have any good recommendations?"
"I do have someone in my heart to recommend it." Gu Qinglin said respectfully.
"Oh, the Prime Minister thinks this person is suitable, so it must be suitable - talk quickly, who should the Prime Minister recommend to perform this important task?"
"General Song Yu." Gu Qinglin said aloud without expression.
Hearing this name, the civil and military officials' expressions became strange. Even King Hui was a little surprised. Obviously, he did not expect Gu Qinglin to propose such a candidate.
Song Yu, a leading military figure in the Song family.
This man was indeed a good marching and fighting. He had accumulated military merits step by step to a general of a country. Even Lu Xingkong, who was most tired of the children of aristocratic families going to the army to grab merits, never suppressed him back then, but let him go and let him be promoted.
However, this person was also criticized. Every time he fought, he would kill all the prisoners. Every time he seized the city, he would let his soldiers be happy for three days.
The so-called bliss is to burn, kill, rob, and vent **. Any city he conquered will eventually become hell on earth.
He can fight, can fight, and will win. However, his style of conduct has been criticized. Not only is he notorious in the West Wind Empire, but even other countries hate this person to the core.
If such a person represents the West Wind Empire to attend the Nine Kingdom Notes, what is the idea of the Song family?
"General Song Yu——" King Hui chewed the name in his mouth and said, "The guardian of the Iron Gate Pass has a great responsibility and should not leave without permission."
"Your Majesty, there are many powerful generals at the Tiemen Pass, and there are hundreds of thousands of Iron Cavalry waiting for the sword. You should be able to ensure that the Tiemen Pass is worry-free-" Gu Qinglin seemed very persistent in the candidate Song Yu. "Your Majesty must have confidence in the generals under his command. Even if General Song Yu is not at Tiemen Pass, other generals can defend the territory for Your Majesty and protect our country's territory."
King Hui nodded, looked around and asked, "Do you all objections?"
After the question was finished, no one answered.
Just kidding, who is willing to fight Gu Qinglin? Who is willing to offend the Song family behind Gu Qinglin? You, a king, don’t want to easily offend the Song family’s wishes, which minister is willing to seek death?
The emperor asked the question, but no one answered the dark crowd below. The scene became a little weird in an instant.
"I have objections." At this moment, a sound full of energy broke the tranquility and embarrassment of the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
Everyone stared at the person who spoke up. Is there really someone who is not afraid of death in this Xifeng Court?
Zhu Yuren walked out of the crowd quickly, knelt down in the center of the hall, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have any objections."
When King Hui saw Zhu Yuren, he asked with a smile: "Zhu Aiqing, what are you objecting?"
"General Song Yu's moral character is a loss and he is not qualified to serve as an important position in my Xifeng Empire." Zhu Yuren said loudly.
As soon as this said, it was like throwing a stone on the calm lake, or pouring a large pot of vegetable oil into the boiling boiling water.
"Zhu Yuren, are you crazy? General Song is loyal to the emperor and protects the country, and fights bravely on the frontier. How could he lose his virtue?"
"If you speak, you have to come up with evidence. What kind of moral failure did General Song Yu do to make Censor Zhu so crazy attack?"
"This is the attitude towards those patriotic men on the frontier? Wouldn't this behavior disappoint those soldiers who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood—"—
For a time, Zhu Yuren became the master of the Zhongshi.
Those civil servants were better, they were just cursing and saying heart-killing words. The military generals had a bad temper and rushed forward one by one to let Zhu Yuren have an old boxing meal.
Jin An, the eunuch who was serving King Hui, shook the whisk in his hand and shouted in a sharp voice: "Sujing—Sujing—"
However, his shouting had no effect. The civil servant was still scolding, and the general rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him.
If there weren't the Feiyu Army in the court to maintain order, it would have been a mess long ago.
"Who is arrogant in the court?" Gu Qinglin shouted sternly: "What's the norm for noisy?"
When Gu Qinglin yelled, the forces affiliated with the Song family naturally stopped.
The Song family's direct descendants did not speak, and officials from other forces would no longer cause trouble.
When the court was quiet, Gu Qinglin looked at Zhu Yuren who was kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "It's reasonable but not loud. What can you say in front of Your Majesty? Lord Zhu, since you say that Song Yudexing is a loss, what evidence is there?"
Zhu Yuren still knelt on the ground, but his spine was straight. His face was calm, and there was no emotional change because of the farce just now.
"Your Majesty, my general Song Yu bullied the officials of the court and abused the daughters of officials. He colluded with bandits to massacre two hundred and sixteen court officials in one family-" Zhu Yu's voice was like a big bell, and he spoke the horrifying remarks word by word.
Everyone in the hall was shocked!
Some are really shocked, while others are fake!
It was really shocking that people didn't know the tragic incident more than 20 years ago. At that time, Song Yu was still a young man, and there were probably many civil and military officials in the court who had not entered the court as officials. Even if someone said one or two sentences, it was because the authority of the Song family did not dare to explain it thoroughly.
The people who were shocked were those old officials who had been in the dynasty for decades and had seen the secrets of the rise and fall of the government and the country. What they were shocked was not the fact that the family extermination incident itself, but that someone dared to lift it up in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"What exactly does Zhu Yuren want to do? Is he crazy?"
"Who was he instructed? Which force did he make the sword?"
"Is it said that Zhu Yuren is from the Yan family? It's impossible? The Yan family will not seek death at this time to start a war with the Song family - is it that the Cui family is behind the scenes?"
My mind was full of thoughts, and this time everyone remained silent, and no one spoke.
They all knew that a cruel palace confrontation was about to begin.
The winner lives, the loser dies.
A divine light flashed in King Hui's eyes, and even his listless spirit was a lot more excited. His tilted body adjusted slightly. He stood high on the platform, staring at Zhu Yuren, the censor who was kneeling on the ground.
"Who is this person? What does it mean? " King Hui thought to himself.
"Is it the bait thrown out by the Song family, or the pioneer sent by other forces?"
"How do you decide? Should you follow the trend and kill the Song family's wings, or find an excuse to suppress this matter and protect Song Yu—"—
In the flash of lightning, countless thoughts emerged in King Hui's mind.
There is no way. As the son emperor of the West Wind Empire, he knew how he ascended the throne, and he also knew that the Song family was in great power and could not easily compete with him.
They can destroy their elder brother, and they can also destroy themselves with despicable means.
However, if this was a sharp sword cut by the hostile forces of the Song family, if I had never heard of it, would it be a missed opportunity?
King Hui decided to wait and see the changes, first look at the situation in the court before making a decision.
After making a decision in his heart, King Hui looked at Zhu Yuren and said, "Mr. Zhu, do you know what you are doing?"
