Chapter 168: See the court again

 How many times has this happened to Jiayou in his nineteenth year?

In the imperial city, the golden bells were ringing wildly, jade chimes were howling wildly, blood light and wolf smoke were shooting straight into the sky, and the sky was full of falcons delivering messages dancing wildly.

All the rebel troops were wiped out in the battle at Anping Pass, and Wang Jian and others were not sure whether they were alive or dead. Such bad news was like a thunder from the sky, which detonated the cultural and educational ministers headed by the Prime Minister Zhu Chong into a panic, and they were all in chaos.

Countless civil and military officials rushed to the Fuyao Palace in the imperial city.

It's just that today, the little eunuchs in the imperial city made a lot of money. There are more than a dozen nobles riding the slide at the entrance of the imperial city. For example, the contemporary Duke of Lai, Lu Yu, has died due to the sneakiness a few days ago.

In a riot case.

Having lost many familiar patrons, the young eunuchs were in a rather low mood. Their speed of lifting the sliding pole today was a lot slower. As a result, when many nobles arrived at Fuyao Hall, they lagged behind the civil and military ministers in front.

Yinyuan was in a good mood.

Yes, it was Yinyuan who was in a very good mood.

In broad daylight, Yinyuan, who was playing around with his concubine Bai Shuang, suddenly received the news that the Anpingguan army had been wiped out. He was more happy than surprised, and then he danced and laughed wildly. He was not happy.

He couldn't help but danced a whirlwind dance.

Filled with joy, Yinyuan rushed out of Jiuquyuan at an unprecedented speed and rushed to the imperial city at full speed. He rushed to the Fuyao Palace throne before all the officials and sat down on the throne, happily waiting for the civil and military ministers to enter the palace.

Seeing that the nobles were late, Yinyuan didn't wait for the ministers to speak, grabbed a solid gold seal on the long case in front of him, and struck the case more than a dozen times: "Pull it down, a hundred heavy sticks...

No, three hundred... no, eight hundred!"

"Wow, military and national affairs are so important, and yet you dare to arrive so late... A bunch of squandering silverfish and trash, what's the use of the country raising you? Drag it on, beat it hard, as long as you can't be killed,

Just beat him to death!"

Yinyuan was roaring, roaring.

Hundreds of nobles who had been tricked by the little eunuchs were dragged down by the Shenwu generals and pressed directly on the cloud platform in front of the Fuyao Palace.

The nobles, who were round, well-maintained, smooth and fair, hurriedly took out pieces of white deer money and bargained with the generals, especially the eunuchs who were in charge of supervision.

The wind blew from Yuntai into Fuyao Hall.

In Fuyao Hall, both the civil and military ministers heard the noisy counter-offering outside.

"Today is different from the past. Your Majesty is furious, furious!"

"The price must be increased, the price must be increased."

"With eight hundred sticks, even a normal beating will kill you. What's more, Your Majesty wants us to beat you hard?"

"Ten thousand dollars for a stick, will you give it or not?"

"one thousand!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Two thousand is already very high!"

"Eight thousand is essential!"

……………………

All the civil and military ministers in the hall had strange expressions on their faces. They all looked at me and me, without saying a word.

Those who suffered losses and were cheated were the nobles, and those who made money were the emperor. Although this kind of transaction is dirty, what does it have to do with them?

Zhu Chong and other ministers of culture and education looked gloomily at Yinyuan, who was smiling from ear to ear on the throne. Hearing that Anpingguan had annihilated the entire army, Yinyuan was actually so happy?

Zhu Chong and the others' hearts sank deeply.

If this matter is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a heavy blow to their cultural and educational power in the court!

When Anpingguan was providing disaster relief, they told the emperor that everything had been taken care of.

As a result, Anpingguan was rebelled.

They selected Zhuge Li as the vanguard to quell the rebellion and rushed to Anping Pass.

As a result, Zhuge Li was beaten black and blue by a group of rioters at Anping Pass.

They recommended Wang Pu as the commander-in-chief to quell the rebellion, and led the army to quell the rebellion.

As a result, Wang Pu spent a lot of money and food in the Anping Pass, died inexplicably in the battle, and was almost completely seized by Lu Qian.

They were so anxious that they finally managed to balance the power disputes internally, allowing the Wang family's direct descendant Wang? to take over the post of city captain. They also used all their strength to cobble together a 'full' anti-rebellion army from the city defense forces of Haojing City.

Go to Anpingguan.

Using the "ghost chaos in Haojing" as an excuse, Zhu Chong and the others reached a tacit agreement with the emperor. Zhu Chong and the others would not publicize the "emperor's lack of morality". Everyone worked together to suppress the ghosts in the streets of Haojing in broad daylight. The conditions

It was the emperor who transferred Lu Qian back from Anping Pass.

I originally thought that Wang?’s men had combined the main forces of the two pacifying legions before and after!

The first legion to quell the rebellion, Zhu Chong and others admitted that they had eaten two-thirds of their free pay, had not enough soldiers, and had a huge shortage of baggage and ordnance.

But the second army brought by Wang? to quell the chaos was a real elite force with full quota and full equipment!

The results of it?

All in one battle.

It’s all gone in one battle!

Who will bear this responsibility and take the blame?

Looking at Yinyuan's smile with both rows of big teeth exposed, if he takes advantage of the situation, will a large number of cultural and educational officials be purged from the court?

If the honorable nobles take advantage of the situation and recruit a group of dandy boys who practice filial piety and honesty to replace them... How much effort will it take for the literary and educational gentlemen in the future to bring order to the chaos?

Not to mention, what to do with the lost ordnance, baggage, food and fodder?

Millions of soldiers died inexplicably like this. Pensions for millions of people... Pensions for the military are different from disaster relief for civilians. During disaster relief, you can do whatever you want. What else can a group of ordinary people with mud-legged hands do?

But if you dare to mess with the military pension, big trouble will really happen!

Pensions for millions of people!

Afterwards, another legion must be formed to quell the rebellion, which will bring with it huge expenditures on military pay, food, supplies, and ordnance.

In the Fuyao Hall, Cui Wuhan, the Secretary of the Household Department of Dayin, covered his heart with his right hand, his face was pale, and cold sweat was faintly oozing out from his forehead.

Lu Qian stood in the martial arts class train, standing directly behind Lu Yi, squinting and admiring the appearances of all the living beings in the hall.

Honorable men and women who have nothing to do with me.

A civil servant with a cold face and a scheming mind.

As well as the General's Mansion and the Fifth Army Mansion, there are those generals who are gearing up and eager to jump out and compete for credit.

Lu Qian saw Li Zi standing in the front row of the civil service train.

Different from the timid and timid Li Zi who acted like a child bride in the past, today's Li Zi has a straight waist and even a hint of arrogance and wantonness in his whole body, as if he is a completely different person.

His magnanimity even overwhelmed the civil servants in front of him who had much higher official positions than him.

Even Zhu Chong, the prime minister of the current dynasty, didn't even have the same magnificence and pomp as him.

Thinking of the corpses in the backyard of my residence last night.

Lu Qian looked at Li Zi.

Li Zi sensed Lu Qian's gaze, and he looked over, smiling and nodding towards Lu Qian without hesitation.

Lu Qian was 70% certain that the female disciples of Paradise Palace who were killed were probably Li Zi.

This old guy hides so deeply.

But he has been hiding for most of his life, why did he suddenly explode at this time?

Thinking of Li Erya who has been locked up in the backyard of his residence, and it is said that Li Zi visits her every day these days... Lu Qian smiled and nodded towards Li Zi.

He and Li Zi should not be enemies.

It must be that Bai Changkong and the others threatened Li Erya, so Li Zi took action boldly?

Afterwards, he took his son away.

Lu Qian kidnapped Li Erya at the wedding ceremony to protect him.

If Li Zi really took action last night, then he should have realized his kindness and goodwill.

Lu Qian smiled at Li Zi. Seeing Lu Qian's friendly gesture, Li Zi's heart moved. He also smiled at Lu Qian and made a gesture to Lu Qian, asking him to stay for a while after leaving the court. He had something to do with him.

He negotiates.

Lu Qian smiled and nodded, then he looked at Bai Changkong.

Bai Changkong stood calmly and calmly in the civil servant train, and he stood very close to the front.

Based on his official position, Bai Changkong should stand with Li Zi.

But at this moment, Bai Changkong stood boldly next to Zhu Chong, even further forward than the six ministers under the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Feeling Lu Yi's gaze, Bai Changkong looked towards Lu Yi. His pupils shrank slightly, showing a trace of fear and vigilance, but he quickly relaxed his expression and nodded to Lu Yi with a smile.

Li Zi also looked at Bai Changkong.

Bai Changkong looked at Li Zi expressionlessly.

Li Zi smiled at Bai Changkong, and glanced at Bai Changkong's left and right kidneys with subtle eyes, and then frowned, obviously very confused, why could Bai Changkong still appear here so normally today?

Zhu Chong noticed the strange interaction between Bai Changkong and Li Zi.

He lowered his voice: "Mr. Bai, now we must work together to overcome the difficulties. We must not have any more internal discord. You and Mr. Li are sons and daughters, and there should not be conflicts."

When Bai Changkong heard the word "son and daughter's relatives", he felt so disgusted in his heart that he wanted to draw his sword and stab Zhu Chong to death on the spot.

He took a deep look at Li Zi, hating that this old scumbag Li Zi could hide it so deeply!

Honglu Qing Li Zi, who was able to be slapped by the protons of the princes in the lobby of Honglu Temple, was actually such a terrifying master... Tell me, tell me, what do you want?

Bai Changkong felt extremely angry and worried at the same time.

His nine precious sons are still in the Anpingguan Army.

Fortunately, he still has more than twenty grandchildren left in Haojing. Otherwise, if all nine of his sons died in the army, Bai Changkong would really do anything to kill Zhu Chong and his gang who forced Bai Lang and others to join the army.

Kill them all.

The cloud board sounded, and the pearl curtain behind Yinyuan moved slightly. Empress Dowager Leshi, surrounded by countless eunuchs Gong'e, had rushed to Fuyao Palace.

As soon as she took her seat, before the court official could restrain the ministers, the Queen Mother's somewhat urgent voice spread throughout the Fuyao Hall.

"Beating gongs and drums every day, can't there be some calm? Can't there be some peace? What is the purpose of the country supporting you and other civil and military officials? Isn't it just for a peaceful country and a peaceful life for the people?

?”

"Anping Prefecture, such a small Anping Prefecture, why is it so difficult?"

"Prime Minister, how did you guarantee it when we sent out troops the first two times? What did you say?"

"When Wang Pu went to war, you said that he would be captured and the rebellion would be put down in just ten days."

"In the end, Wang Pu died, not even a whole body was left behind."

"You are hurriedly recommending Wang? to succeed Wang Pu. You are saying that Wang? is ten times more talented than Wang Pu. It is easy to command an army to quell chaos!"

"It's so easy... It's so easy for me to defeat the two armies in front and behind you to annihilate them!"

"If you add up the two armies, the numbers on the books could be in the tens of millions, right?"

"Although the Ai family lives in a deep palace, they also know that the numbers on the books cannot be trusted... But if there are not tens of millions, there must be millions of elite soldiers, right?"

"Even if it's millions of pigs!"

The Queen Mother slapped the armrest of the throne and yelled: "Even if there are millions of pigs, they won't be killed in half a day, right?"
