Chapter 304: What is a great man? Do you admire him?
The civil and military officials stood in the Golden Palace. After a while, they heard the familiar duckling voice saying, "The emperor is here..." Most of the ministers were surprised without knowing the inside story. Fortunately, the habit they developed for many years made them kneel down the mountain without any stagnation and shout long live.
After kowtowing and saying hello, there were clichés like "all my beloveds..."
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Everyone stood up and looked at the imperial stairs. They saw that Emperor Zhaowu was full of energy, his face was red, and he seemed to have become white and fatter.
Let’s look at the Your Majesty who was standing at the head of His Majesty, wearing a two-county dynasty suit with a black six-claw and six-patterned dragon, wearing a two-dragon-facing crown, a sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face. Who wouldn’t the Long Yan King be?
Originally, when I saw Emperor Zhaowu, all the officials were still a little turbulent and whispered, but as soon as I saw this old man, the needle fell from the hall and could be heard... I saw the greats standing there with their belly and hips hanging down, their heads slightly lowered, their eyebrows were down, and their eyes were cleared without saying anything. Even if they were inspected by the censor Guo Bizheng, they could not find any fault.
Seeing that when everyone touched his eyes, they would suddenly lower their heads as if they were stung by bees, and they were completely unexpected. Even the old bastard Li lowered his eyelids, as if he was asleep, and he refused to look at him. Qin Lei couldn't help but feel embarrassed and thought to himself: "Is I Zhong Kui? Is it that scary? Even if I am Zhong Kui, you are not a little ghost, what are you afraid of?"
"If you have something to do, go out to work early, and if you have nothing to do, roll the curtain and leave..." the eunuch who accompanied the driver shouted.
Then, the ministers of various ministries came out to report the major events that had been accumulated over the past month. For Qin Lei, these things were like... playing the piano against a cow. In addition, he didn't have a good rest for several consecutive days, and he only took a nap last night for less than an hour. He felt his mind swollen at first, and then stood there drowsy. Finally... even though Emperor Zhaowu coughed several times and reminded him, he still fell asleep unstoppably.
Even though he stood there swaying and stared at him, no one dared to come out to participate in his misconduct. He didn't see that this Lord Guo was temporarily blind. We have a small nose and a small eye, so why are we looking for that excitement?
As the saying goes, "Snow Mountains are not piled up, cowhides are not bragging." This "people's name and the shadow of trees" cannot be established overnight, it takes time. The great reputation of Prince Longwei's prince comes from his toughness over the years.
This infamous reputation was initially established after the "Beheaded Tiance Army and shot Li Qing's halberd"; it gradually became fuller in the process of sending the four masters of the Wen family to the hospital bed one by one; it became extremely huge after burning the Taiwei Mansion with a fire; it was finally completely perfected after beating the current crown prince on Yanqing Street.
Those things are not sensational? Which victim is not a high-ranking and powerful person, and has a reputation? Not to mention the ordinary princes and princes, even if they are quarreled with them, they must think in advance and apologize afterwards.
But this man not only ravaged him, but also repeatedly ravaged him and never apologized. It can be said that the fame experience of Demon King Long is a history of trampling. All the great people who were trampled by him were taken away by him, and their majesty became his own. He stepped on the despicable bodies of these people and walked step by step towards the throne of Demon King, which was fascinating.
He is not fighting alone. Whenever people face him, the sages and great sages who have been trampled and ravaged by him will appear in their minds. Whenever they say, "I have a high status," the prince will smile gently; whenever they say, "I have a high status, but also a wide connection," the four men of the Wen family will smile up and down; whenever they say, "I have a high status, but a wide connection, and I have military power," Taiwei Li will sit in front of the ruins burned to white ground, grab his beard and smile sweetly.
朝会继续进行,隆威郡王睡得很香甜.
With Qin Lei's snoring, most of the transactions were processed. The reason why most of them was because there were still a small part that had not been processed. The reason why they had not been processed yet was because these things were all related to the Long Demon King.
Several ministers held the tablets and said in their hearts: "Grandpa, I didn't say that this ancestor was coming back for a meeting? Otherwise, I would rather harm myself than betray this person." Haven't you seen the prince in the court? Where is the four heroes of the Wen family?
Several adults believed that they could not be as shameless as the Li family, and they still went to court after being abused...
A few people look at me and I look at you, and they curl their lips and noses, but no one dares to stand up first.
Wen Yanbo was in a bad mood. Seeing that the arrangements were all scared, he cursed inwardly and stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have the right to report!"
"The Prime Minister has something to say, so there is no need to be polite." Emperor Zhaowu said politely.
Wen Yanbo bowed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Three Ministers will try the murder case of Longwei County Prince. The evidence is conclusive and shocking. The old minister asked Your Majesty to allow His Highness Longwei County Prince to temporarily stay in the prison temple and assist in the investigation... It is also easy to clear the prince's innocence."
"What's innocent?" Qin Lei Youyou woke up and asked slowly when he heard his name.
Wen Yanbo was frustrated and said blankly: "The prince is suspected of multiple murders. The Ministry of Justice asks the prince to go and assist in the investigation."
"Didn't the officials of the Ministry of Justice come?" Qin Lei felt a little cold on his lips, and he seemed to have reached out to wipe it inadvertently... It was indeed saliva.
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "The 16th Dynasty meeting is not allowed to be absent for no reason, so naturally they all come."
"Do they have no mouths? Do you still want you to convey it?" Qin Lei moved his limbs and asked coldly, "The lone kings have also read the complaints. The most recent one happened in the first lunar month. What have these miserables been doing? Now I remember to report to the official?"
Wen Yanbo knew that Qin Lei had been accustomed to the poisonous tongue, so he was not panicked and sneered: "But it was because the prince was so powerful that he scared the victims."
Qin Lei let out a "wow" sound, waved his sleeves, and jumped backwards, and said in horror: "No action is allowed! No beating the prime minister of the current dynasty!"
Qin Lei sneered and said, "Master Wen, did you have the power of today? You can swing your sleeves away from the Prime Minister of the current dynasty?"
Wen Yanbo's face suddenly turned red, and he stood up straight and said angrily: "The true appearance is just a slippery under his feet, how can he say that he will retreat?" But he also admitted in disguise that Qin Lei's power has increased greatly.
"Why didn't anyone come to sue me that day? Now I have become a beast, but there are some people who are not open..." As he said, his sharp eyes as a knife slashed over the civil servants below the imperial rank, and said coldly: "But he wanted to try whether the Lone King's temper is hot enough, and is the Lone King's blade sharp enough?"
Several officials from the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice felt a cool breeze whizzing from the back of their heads, but they were sweating profusely on their backs. They felt chills from their hearts. They couldn't help but hang their heads to their chests and refused to lift them up.
After seeing it, no one laughed at them, because at that moment, they all thought of... The Shangshu Wen, who was locked in the bucket, was still unconscious...
Wen Yanbo has been in the officialdom for decades and has been robbed of all his morale for the first time. But he is still a great man. Even though his heart is like a rolling soup, his face still maintains a moderate coldness, and said lightly: "Is the prince really threatening the officials?" He said, "Your Majesty has bowed to Emperor Zhaowu and said: "Your Majesty has seen that the fifth prince actually regards the laws and regulations of the country as nothing, openly blasphemous of the dignity of the court, and threatens the pillars of the dynasty. This trip is also sensational, and his heart is arrogant. Looking at the thousand-year history of China, there is no second one!"
Qin Lei suddenly interrupted and said, "Do you admire him?"
Wen Yanbo laughed furiously and said, "I admire you very much!"
Qin Lei smiled and said, "Then from now on, the prime minister can't say that he admires the 'three and a half people'."
How could Wen Yanbo think that this young master was so erratic, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and snorted coldly: "I will say 'four and a half'!"
However, Qin Lei was unreasonable and shook his head and said, "The Prime Minister is not saying this, it should be 'five'." As he said that, he pointed at Qin Shouzhuo, who lowered his head to count the ants, and said seriously: "In another month, Lord Qin has been in office for ten years, so it should be counted as one." Qin Shouzhuo just pretended that he didn't hear it, and was still counting the ants seriously.
Wen Yanbo opened his mouth and squirted and said, "Let's talk about it next month." He was about to retreat to the class, and he raised his legs before he remembered his purpose. He glared at the guy who turned him into the gutter, lifted the underside of the python robe, pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar to kneel down, bowed and said in a deep voice: "Please punish His Highness, Prince Longwei according to the national law."
If it were the past, the civil servants would naturally kneel down in an orderly manner and repeat the Prime Minister's words loudly. But today, the civil servants' moods changed, and they would drag their movements. They would only kneel down for a long time, but their voices were directly denied.
Emperor Zhaowu, who was like watching the show, was naturally unhappy and said to himself: "If you can't afford to lose, just roll around?" But he had to pay attention to it - this was Prime Minister Wen's first kneeling in many years.
I can't remember it for many years. In any case, Emperor Zhaowu's impression, this old boy has never kneeled since he got the privilege. Seeing Wen Yanbo being forced by Qin Lei to kneel down and threaten, although Emperor Zhaowu looked meditative, he felt so beautiful.
Emperor Zhaowu wanted to hang Wen Yanbo for a while and let him exercise his knees. However, Prime Minister Wen kneeled down sadly, which made the person beside him feel sad.
That is another huge draw in the court that was approved for "praise and worship without being named, enter the court without going to the court, and go to the palace with swords and shoes" - the three armies of the current dynasty, the prince's grand stern, the Duke of Wei, and Li Hun and Li.
Li Hun originally made up his mind to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but Qin Lei's tyrannical power was much beyond his expectations. He thought to himself: 'If this continues, not only the stinky brat has the final say in the court, but where do you want to put me?' Thinking of this, Li Hun lifted his clothes, stepped out of the formation, bowed and said in a deep voice: "Old minister will discuss it."
Suddenly, a group of military officers stood up. Most of them came from the Taiwei Mansion and the Ministry of War, and were real Li School figures. There was also a small number of officers who did not follow him, but stood by and watched coldly. These were all from Emperor Zhaowu.
The situation in the court could not help but remain silent. Emperor Zhaowu pondered for a moment, then reached out to help him, and said in a gentle voice: "The Prime Minister got up and talk first, I am sure you don't have to kneel down."
Wen Yanbo straightened his neck and bowed his hands and said loudly: "The reason why the empress do not kneel is because the court has made mercy outside the law. Now it is better not to make mercy outside the law than to uphold the court's laws!"
Emperor Zhaowu's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice: "These are two things, Prime Minister, don't confuse them!" As he said that, he waved his hand gently: "Since the Prime Minister is so noble and willing to not give up this extrajudicial kindness, I naturally cannot ignore the Prime Minister's kindness, so I will take back those three honorary powers."
Wen Yanbo never expected that Emperor Zhaowu, who had always been "tolerance is high and harmony is noble", became aggressive today as Qin Lei. However, he knew that he was too busy, but he forced himself into a corner and said embarrassedly: "What I said is that if I can maintain the laws of the court, I can do that three rights."
Prime Minister Wen is not careful. These three honors are too important to him. How many people have received these three honors since ancient times? I can't find ten? Any powerful minister who gets these three honors means that his power is no less than, or even more than that of the emperor.
‘Praise and worship without being named, enter the court without going to the palace, and go to the palace’ is a symbol of his status in the world. It is with this that he can become a huge siege in the eyes of civil officials that can compete with the emperor and the Grand Marshal. In fact, if he had not taken advantage of the decline of the royal family and the military power was lost, let alone Wen Yanbo, even the old bastard Li, he would not have thought of one of them. That would never be deprived, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But he didn't know that Emperor Zhaowu had made up his mind to change his style from today. He Wen and someone had knocked him down and imported him. He only heard Emperor Zhaowu sneer: "Then I will deal with the Prince of Longwei. I hope the Prime Minister will follow his promise and give up the three honors!"
"That's it." Wen Yanbo lay on the ground, his knees were numb, and he thought to himself: 'It seems that the emperor is going to be tough. If I insist, he will at most judge that kid to be a 'roaring court' and pull down and give him a forty whip, but it will not do me any benefit. How can it be compared with the three honors?'
With a firm plan in his mind, Wen Yanbo had no choice but to learn from Qin Lei to let him go. Fortunately, he is the top three in Zhongdu City and does not have much psychological burden.
Prime Minister Wen slowly got up from the ground, smiled generously and said, "Fifth Prince is young after all, and he has a good temper. If he is as honest as our old man, wouldn't the world be boring?"
Qin Lei has seen countless shameless people, and even seen even more shameless people in the mirror, but has never seen such shameless people. He opened his mouth unconsciously, but he didn't know how to evaluate the performance of this senior.
Emperor Zhaowu showed a faint smile on his eyebrows, and waved his hand gently, "Just listen to the Prime Minister, everyone is very busy, let's go back and do the job." As he waved his hand, the companion next to him shouted at the eunuch: "Retreat..."
The civil officials who were still kneeling on the ground said, "Okay, we are so easy to save trouble..." They smiled bitterly and shouted, "Greatly send your Majesty!" Then they saw Emperor Zhaowu and Prince Longwei swaying from the court.
Li Hun glanced at Wen Yanbo, who was a little lost, and cursed inwardly: "Idiot!" He has military power, but his real strength, so he naturally cannot understand why Wen Yanbo is guilty.
But even if he understood, he would still disdain. He put his hands in his sleeves, turned around and walked out with great strides. Li Qing and Li Erhe quickly followed. When they walked outside the hall, Li Erhe couldn't help it and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's wrong with the emperor? Why are you like taking gypsum medicine? This is like..." "Man." Li Qing added quietly.
Li Hun glanced at the two of them with a squint, and didn't say anything. He didn't say anything until he got into the carriage and said to the two people who followed him: "Do you know why I helped Wen Yanbo?"
Both uncle and nephew had extremely limited brain capacity. He scratched his neck and shook his head together when he heard this.
Li Hun stretched out his palm-shaped hand, looked at the scars on the back of his hand, suddenly turned his palms up, and said in a strange tone: "The world is about to...change!" After saying that, he clenched his hand into a fist, gritted his teeth and said, "But I haven't asked me whether Li Sanjun agrees!"
