Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight subject to others
"It's absolutely ridiculous that there are such rumors——"
Yang Chongyuan's calm but serious voice sounded from the main hall. As everyone looked up cautiously, Yang Chongyuan turned his eyes to Lu Zhou, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. The seriousness in his eyes naturally turned into relief and comfort: "Mr. Lu
You are right. Although this rumor is nonsense, it damages the reputation of our royal family and is not conducive to the good relations between our court and the royal family of the former Zhou Dynasty. It also causes panic among the people and instability of the court. Therefore, this matter should be dealt with immediately.
check."
After saying that, Yang Chongyuan turned around and said in a deep voice: "King Qin."
"I'm here."
Seeing the King of Qin Yang Che follow the sound, Yang Chongyuan calmly deployed: "As the shepherd of Yongzhou, you will cooperate with the Yushitai and the Jinwu Guards to jointly try the case. Chang'an County and Wannian County will assist you. You must do it on the seventh day of the Qin Dynasty."
Find out the source of the rumors within a day and find out the mastermind behind it."
After hearing Yang Chongyuan's imperial order, Prince Yang Che, the imperial censor, General Jin Wuwei, and the magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County behind the team all came forward and agreed to the matter.
"His Majesty--"
Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to come to an end, Lu Zhou, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, once again interrupted: "Determining right and wrong should be avoided. The King of Qin is both wise and brave, and he is the shepherd of Yongzhou. He indeed has the responsibility to handle this case."
, is capable, but the King of Qin is also the official who has received His Majesty’s orders to send garrison troops to protect the safety of the Linzi Palace, so participating in this case again will inevitably make the world think it is unfair and difficult to reassure people’s hearts.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was whispering.
Yes, if it weren't for Lu Jijiu's words, they almost forgot that all the Chen royal family in Gyeonggi Province have been protected by several princes and confidants of His Majesty's army. Among them, King Qin is responsible for the security guard of Linzi Palace. As follows:
The poisoning incident is indeed a fact, so how could King Qin, as a superior, not know the whole story?
In this case, wouldn’t it mean that the supervisor is self-
Facing the courtiers with different expressions, without waiting for Yang Chongyuan to speak, Lu Zhou took the lead and said: "The prince is the crown prince of the country. He has both political integrity and talent, is a tolerant man, and has the legacy of supporting Su. I sincerely request that the prince take charge of the trial.
It shows His Majesty’s importance, and secondly, the Crown Prince can appease people’s hearts on His Majesty’s behalf.”
When Lu Zhou finished speaking, Yang Chongyuan nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Lu Jijiu was careful and cautious, but I was negligent for a moment. It's very good."
While Yang Chongyuan laughed brightly, everyone bowed their heads and obeyed his orders. Yang Che also lowered his eyelids silently at this moment, blocking the flash of gloom in his eyes because he knew very well that from this moment on, everything was brought to the table, led by Lu Zhou
The old ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, the literati and the great scholars will all draw a line with him because of this, and they will never be able to win over him again.
But these people are able to win over the hearts of talented scholars all over the world.
Yang Yan, who was confined to the palace, gained more hearts this time even if he did not come forward. He did not believe that such a coincidence was God's will, it must have been intentional.
And this person is bound to be a stumbling block that must be removed on his way forward.
"Now that the matter is over, you can wait peacefully with me."
While speaking, Yang Chongyuan, the most respected person in the Nine-Fifth Period, walked down step by step, and actually helped Lu Zhou, who was kneeling, in front of all the ministers, and said with emotion: "Gong Lu is old, but he never forgets to worry about the country.
People, I am very pleased to share my worries. Things will be complicated in the future, and I will have to rely on Mr. Lu to help me cultivate talents in culture, politics and martial arts. Although I cannot bear it, I still want to ask Mr. Lu to stay in the court——"
After saying that, Yang Chongyuan bent down, picked up the Imperial Crown with both hands, and gently wiped the edge where the imperial official touched the ground for Lu Zhou. Then he put it back firmly and said, "Mr. Lu has been busy."
Although Lu Zhou had a lot of doubts about the emperor in front of him, he couldn't stand up coldly to his sincere gesture like Duke Zhou's support. Therefore, following the help of Yang Chongyuan's hands, Lu Zhou finally stood up slowly.
He cupped his hands with emotion and said in his heart: "Your Majesty has a lot of experience and knowledge, which is a blessing to our dynasty. If I am not talented, I will do my best to help the dynasty and the country and gather talents for the people of the world."
"well--"
Hearing this, Yang Chongyuan, who had always been serious with a smile on his face, patted Lu Zhou's hand sincerely and said, "With Mr. Lu's words, I feel at ease."
Seeing the scene where the swords were drawn out just now suddenly turned into a scene in front of them of the monarch and his ministers united as one, working in harmony for the people. While the courtiers on the side secretly exhaled, they also lamented that the emperor of the dynasty was so tolerant and magnanimous that he was really comparable to a wise emperor.
.
When it was time to retire, Lu Zhou, who was kneeling on his seat, stood up tremblingly with the help of his juniors. Just when his legs were shaking slightly and he almost lost his balance, a pair of hands steadily and thoughtfully supported him.
"Mr. Lu, be careful."
Turning his head to look at Qin King Yang Che, who was supporting him with a respectful expression, Lu Zhou slowly stood up straight, bowed his hands towards Yang Che and bowed as a monarch, and said without being humble or overbearing: "Thank you, King Qin."
"Please King Qin go first——"
Seeing Lu Zhou in front of him who refused to give in to him and refused to get close to him at all, Yang Che swallowed the stagnation in his chest and still smiled affectionately on his face and said: "Mr. Lu, go first."
Seeing that Yang Che insisted on being courteous, Lu Zhou stopped making excuses and just followed etiquette. He bowed in a precise manner and said, "I will take my leave first."
After that, Lu Zhou left without looking back, leaving Yang Che standing there alone, looking at the proud back, still smiling on his face, but resisting the urge to clench his fists in his hands.
"Brother is so polite, but Mr. Lu is a little unkind."
Hearing the grievances coming from the people around him, Yang Che turned around and glanced at the already empty hall, as well as the King of Shu, Yang Zhao, who stepped forward and complained in a low voice. His eyes became serious and he immediately said: "
No nonsense."
"yes."
Seeing that Yang Zhao was being taught to lower his head, like a child who had done something wrong, Yang Che silently suppressed the surge in his body, patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, let's go, your mouth is so pouted.
I can hang an oil bottle."
After hearing this, Yang Zhaoshi cautiously raised his eyes tentatively, and when he met Yang Che's smiling eyes as always, he immediately moved closer with confidence.
Taking advantage of the noon sunshine, the brothers walked away together, and their hearty chatter and laughter added a bit of warmth to the empty square in front of the temple.
It was night, the moon and stars were sparse.
In view of the turmoil in Chang'an today, Chen Zhiyan, who had calmed everyone in the house, walked tiredly towards his study. Under the moonlight, there was lingering solemnity and worry in his eyebrows.
To this day, if it weren't for that nursery rhyme, they wouldn't even be able to find out the truth about their own untimely death. The former Chen royal family would have been defeated to such an extent.
But he couldn't do anything.
"Mr. Lang."
A low call interrupted Chen Zhiyan's thoughts. When he looked up and saw Shangguan Ling's personal maid Ruizhu, Chen Zhiyan reluctantly relaxed his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"
"Knowing that my husband is tired and hasn't eaten yet, my wife has already prepared a table of dinner for him to share."
Chen Zhiyan, who was full of emotions at this moment, had no appetite, but thinking of the current situation and Shangguan Ling who was alone and helpless, he did not say any words of rejection after all.
