Prime Minister Zhang shocked everyone with his scholarly style and lightness. The anxious look on King Yan's face softened. He thought to himself that ginger is still hotter. Even if King Jin has all kinds of tricks, Zhang Rui can still move a thousand pounds.
At the same time, King Yan scorned the theory of rebellion - with a prince like him in the Zhang family, why would they rebel with King Chen and try to make King Chen romantic?
Yue Zhongtai stood solemnly on one side and said nothing, maintaining the ancestral system of the Privy Council not collaborating with civil servants. He did not believe that Zhang Rui would rebel with King Chen, but he suddenly thought of Zhang Rui and the tiger talisman he had exchanged.
If he didn't rebel, why did he have to defend the state with 100,000 troops?
But why did he rebel?
Now in the court, King Jin has not yet been able to fight against King Yan - no, he has not fought before. But since last night, Zhang Xuling has entered. By now, in the morning, Zhang Xutang has been charged with a murder case, and Zhang Rui has fallen into the trap of King Chen.
The old story of rebellion wiped out more than half of the Zhang family at its peak in the blink of an eye.
Could it be that Zhang Rui had already anticipated this day, so he had to recruit 100,000 troops to support himself?
He looked at the calm-looking King Jin again, and suddenly there was a smile in his heart: "Fortunately, the Yue family hasn't put their two daughters on the Zhang family boat yet."
However, Liu Baoqi was unmoved by Zhang Rui and said loudly: "The prime minister will not label rebellion and rebellion as young and frivolous, and his words are inappropriate. If he is really guilty of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors, how can he take off his hat! Your Majesty, please call Deputy Commander Su.
Come and make a statement, and then the Criminal Division or the Criminal Department will conduct a thorough investigation, and those who have been punished by Prime Minister Zhang will no longer be allowed to enter or leave the court!"
Zhang Rui was in charge of the throne in a dignified manner, but when he was criticized by Liu Baoqi, he did not defend himself, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
On the contrary, Dong Tongying stood up and scolded Liu Baoqi: "How can we resolve the case in the court? Can you force me to find out whether Prime Minister Zhang is guilty or not? Why don't you step down quickly and let your Majesty decide!"
Liu Baoqi directly contradicted him: "I am saying this for the sake of the country. If the imperial army and Prime Minister Zhang are the same, how can the country survive? Moreover, Prime Minister Zhang has been in power for many years and has solemn power. Let's not mention it for the time being.
All the important positions are from the sect of Prime Minister Zhang. The good and bad situation of each road comes from the mouth of Prime Minister Zhang. No one dares to cross the thunder. On Tianning Festival, the King of Yan sent "Yellow River Clear" to His Majesty. It was God's will. Why did he become the King of Yan?
His filial piety? Why does no one offer auspicious tributes? If things go on like this, the country will change, and Prime Minister Ji will bear the responsibility? Prime Minister Ji will not let me pursue it. Is it because things harm their own kind?"
Without waiting for Dong Tongying to reply, King Yan said without hesitation: "Fart! Zhang Xiang has been in charge of the center for a long time. He is honest and prudent and must do everything personally. Whenever he is recommended, he must be a person with outstanding literary talent!"
After he finished speaking, he pointed directly at the King of Jin: "Prime Minister Zhang is a benevolent gentleman. Since the King of Jin entered the court, his ambitions have been well known and he has repeatedly targeted Prime Minister Zhang. On the contrary, Prime Minister Zhang avoided his sharpness and retreated to survive. The so-called rebellion
, it must be the conspiracy of King Jin!"
Fang Weichun retorted: "What the King of Jin did in the court was all for the benefit of the country and the people. How could he be so ambitious? It's fine if Prime Minister Zhang didn't fully support him. How can we say that Prime Minister gave in?"
Everyone was noisy below, but sitting on the throne now, I felt that I was not a king, nor was I in a bright hall, but at the entrance of a vegetable market.
The people below are not courtiers, but unscrupulous people who are bargaining.
His mind was in turmoil, and he felt that the world was also in turmoil. He wanted to angrily yell at everyone to shut up, but he was worried that he would not be able to intimidate the group of people below, so he could only cool his face meaningfully, and make sure that he was cold enough and angry enough.
It's majestic enough, and at first glance it looks like someone is wearing a cuckold.
The people below did not shut up at all, but the quarrel was about to start. Today, Shang was very tired. Tired until the end, he couldn't help but think that the day after King Chen's rebellion, the court was not so chaotic.
At that time, he was also sitting here, but behind him was the Queen Mother Pei. Queen Mother Pei was good at literature and martial arts. Wen could scold the courtiers angrily without repeating the same thing, and Wu could hold up the sword to silence the courtiers.
He subconsciously turned his face into a serious one, and changed it into an expression of disapproval of Queen Mother Pei, and even his thoughts slowly changed to what Queen Mother Pei had taught him.
The sounds below gradually disappeared, and while being frightened, I secretly looked at Jinshang's face, and saw Jinshang looking at them with a tigerish face and cold eyes.
So everyone was silent together, because they felt that Queen Mother Pei's soul was looming in Jinshang's body, but Jinshang could not fully display its power, and she felt like she was imitating others.
Everyone was beheaded to protect their lives, so they couldn't laugh. They all kept their mouths shut and lowered their heads.
After this, the emperor issued some dizzy decrees.
Zhang Rui's matter needs to be investigated, and the King of Jin happens to be investigating Zhang Rui's eldest son, so we should leave the two masters alone and let the King of Jin continue to investigate Zhang Rui.
However, as Zhang Rui was the governor of a country, he could not be easily shaken. Therefore, Zhang Rui remained his governor and could enter and leave the capital. His second son, Zhang Xutang, was imprisoned on his behalf.
In this way, both of the Zhang family's sons are in prison, so there is no fear of Zhang Rui running away.
Liu Baoqi sighed deeply in his heart. He looked at Fang Weichun and felt speechless. He was really confused. Since Zhang Rui was unfaithful, how could he still be allowed to enter and leave the capital?
The capital is all about national affairs. Since Zhang Rui is suspected of treason, even if he is not dismissed from his post and investigated, he should be placed under house arrest until the matter is clearly understood before making arrangements.
Moreover, Zhang Xutang was only three years old when King Chen rebelled. Even if he was a genius, there was no reason to join the rebellion at the age of three.
At the moment, I just hope that King Jin can find out something from Zhang Xuling.
Zhang Dang also gained an unusual flavor from today's "mercy" - the Zhang family cannot fail.
If Zhang Rui had not been captured with lightning speed, the big tree of the Zhang family would not be able to fall, and at most some branches would be damaged.
The only thing worth worrying about is the King of Jin. If the King of Jin can find out the truth from Liu Qiuyu and arrest Zhang Xuling, he may also get some information from Zhang Xutang, which will in turn deal a blow to the Zhang family.
People in the palace were in different moods, thunder was rolling outside the palace, a sudden rain had arrived, and the fragrance in the palace became wet and clung to everyone.
In the heavy rain, Jinshang stood up to retreat from the court, and suddenly gave Zhang Rui a support - he believed that Zhang Rui should not be forced too hard, otherwise the Zhang family would jump over the wall and coerce the King of Yan to rebel, which would put him in danger.
Furthermore, he had no intention of destroying the entire Zhang family.
The carriage was covered with a big green umbrella and had already arrived outside the Chui Gong Hall. Zhang Rui solemnly took the official hat, held it in his hand, and accompanied by King Yan, walked all the way to the eaves outside the hall.
There are also many green umbrellas outside the palace for ministers to go to the courtyard to repair.
Water drops were like lines under the eaves, the water was cold at the height of the building, the sky was gray, and thunder and lightning kept flashing in the clouds.
The King of Jin acted in a gentle manner and walked to the corridor. Zhang Rui and King Yan were on the right, and he was alone on the left. The ministers behind him were also faintly divided, with some standing behind King Jin and some standing behind Zhang Rui.
Compared with when I was waiting for my speech in the palace, it seemed quieter at this time. The rain was like an arrow, splashing countless water splashes on the ground, and a strong wind came in my face. The servants hurriedly raised their umbrellas to each other, but they still covered the clothes of the three people.
Get wet.
After the wind passed, the thousands of water marks returned to the same place. It seemed like it was just a bluff attack and no one was knocked down.
