Chapter 825 Xun Shu retreats to the next best thing
Han Buxin smiled slightly:
"My lord, don't worry. We will discuss this matter together in the court tomorrow, and we will be able to protect the Zhao family together!"
Hearing this, Fan Gaoyi couldn't help but turn his worries into joy. He took a deep breath and said happily:
"Okay! Dr. Han's words are already clear to Fan!"
After hearing this, Han Buxin felt a little relieved, and after talking to Fan Gaoyi again, he left.
That night, Han Buxin and Wei Chi met again in the mansion to exchange ideas. When they learned that they had been convinced, Wei Chi said with emotion:
"It seems... everything is as expected by Mr. Ziming! With the help of these two people, we will go to the court tomorrow morning, and we will not be afraid that Xun Shuang will not make concessions!"
Han Buxin was still a little worried:
"Xun Shu is now the chief minister, and he must have blown a lot of rumors in the monarch's ears during this period. I still don't know... what the monarch's intentions are..."
Wei Chi raised his eyebrows and said:
"As long as we can argue with each other tomorrow, and the monarch is usually favored by the Zhao family, it should be fine!"
…
Early the next morning, all the ministers gathered outside the palace to prepare for going to court to discuss matters.
After reading Zhao Yang's letter, Xun Shu already had some concerns in his mind. At this moment, he was standing there with his hands folded.
The ministers greeted him one after another, and he responded to them one by one with narrowed eyes.
Even when facing Han Buxin and Wei Xi, Xun Shuo had the same attitude. This made Han Buxin and Wei Xi couldn't help but look at each other, and they were a little confused as to what Xun Shu was planning in his heart.
.
When it came to the morning court, Jin Hou Wu took the initiative to mention this matter:
"Han Buxin, Wei Chi, you two came back from Jinyang and made great contributions to pacifying the chaos in Fanzhongxing. Thank you for your hard work!"
Han Buxin said quickly:
"I dare not take any credit. In fact, when the two of us first arrived in Jinyang, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe were already defeated! This battle was actually fought by the Zhao family alone! In terms of merit,
The Zhao family is the most powerful!"
When Jin Houwu heard what Han Buxin said, he couldn't help but feel happy. After nodding his head for a while, he also praised:
"Well, I have heard about this! The Zhao family, with a mere town of Jinyang as its main city, actually withstood Fan Zhongxing's rebellion for me. It is really not easy!"
As Jin Houwu spoke, he looked towards Xun Shu.
Xun Shu also sensed that there was no way he could escape today, so he simply bowed out and said:
"Your Majesty, although the Zhao family has made contributions to the country, as the saying goes, 'the merits and demerits cannot be offset,' the ins and outs of this matter must be traced to the source after all! The so-called 'the one who caused the disaster dies'..."
When Wei Chi heard this, he also knew that Xun Shu would definitely be in trouble with the Zhao family again, so he simply came out immediately and said:
"Your Majesty, all the ministers in the palace are here now, and the ins and outs of Fan Zhongxing's rebellion can be said to be clear! The Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan colluded with Handan and led their troops to besiege Jinyang. This is an indisputable fact!"
"As for Handan Wu, Zhao Yang is just enforcing the family law and has no fault! All of this has been decided, how can he change it at will now?"
After hearing this, Jin Houwu nodded again:
"Wei Qing, what you said makes sense..."
Xun Shu was not very happy after hearing this, but he was not surprised by what Wei Chi said, so he continued to argue with him:
"Your Majesty, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules! How can family rules override the national laws? 'The one who caused the trouble will die' is the saying when casting a tripod! And this punishment tripod was cast by Zhao Yang himself. If he had
If you can't abide by it yourself, how can I, the Duke of Jin, be able to obey the public in the future? If everyone follows the same rules in the future, won't our Jin State be in chaos again?"
"Please, Your Majesty, think in the long term! What's more, the royal family of Zhou, the Kingdom of Wei, the Kingdom of Zheng, and the Kingdom of Qi are also paying attention to the Kingdom of Jin! If Your Majesty cannot handle it impartially, I'm afraid it will embarrass everyone in the world.
The heart! And since our country of Jin is the country of our uncle, we must set an example!"
When Jin Hou heard this at noon, he was in a dilemma again and couldn't help but sigh:
"But... they don't know the inside story of this matter yet, and it's better to rely on their opinions. Dear gentlemen, please tell me... how should this matter be handled?"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion. Many people actually did not want to offend Xun Shu, so they remained silent.
At this moment, Liang Ying's father suddenly came out and said:
"Your Majesty, in fact, this matter has been decided for a long time. In my opinion, there is no need to discuss it here!"
At this time, both Jin Hou Wu and Xun Shu thought that his attitude was the same as before.
However, all I heard was Liang Yingfu continue:
"Although the Zhonghang and Fan clans have been defeated, they still occupy Chaoge, Handan and other places. This is after all a serious problem for our Jin country. If we drive away the Zhao clan now, it may not be a good move!"
"I also ask your Majesty to take back your order and let Dr. Zhao return to Jiangcheng to discuss together how to suppress the rebellion!"
At this time, Fan Gaoyi also followed up:
"I agree with Liang Ying's father. I second my opinion!"
As the two of them spoke, there was suddenly a commotion in the hall.
Just because it is known that Liang Ying's father was Xun Shu's favorite, and Fan Diyi was supported by Xun Shu single-handedly.
But now that the two of them suddenly said this, doesn't it mean that Xun Shu also means the same thing?
Considering that Xun Shu and Zhao Yang had a close relationship before, everyone naturally thought that this might be Xun Shu’s true intention! However, he deliberately set it up like this in order to appear more impartial.
Bureau.
Therefore, other ministers with a little "sightedness" simply boldly agreed.
Among everyone present, the one who was most surprised must be Xun Shu!
He never expected that Fan Gaoyi and Liang Yingfu would suddenly do this! He couldn't help but frown and thought to himself:
"What kind of disease are these two guys doing?! Are they starting to rebel against me now? It seems... letting them become the Sixth Minister... is really a huge mistake!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Xun Shuo's reaction was extremely quick. With a change of thought, he came up with another plan!
"Your Majesty, since everyone thinks that the Zhao family should not be driven away, but... this matter must not be left unexplained!"
"I learned that Zhao Yang now has a distinguished guest with him, and he is Li Ziming, the Taishi of Luoyi! However, since this person came to our country of Jin, he was first killed in Handanwu, and then the Fan family and the Zhonghang family rebelled! Moreover, after this person came to our country of Jin, he was killed in Handanwu, and then the Fan family and the Zhonghang family rebelled!
...It is said that these things were planned secretly by this person!"
"I believe that since Zhao Yang's crimes are all caused by this person, then Li Ziming must be dealt with!"
When the Marquis of Jin heard that Xun Shu seemed to want to let Zhao Yang go, he didn't care much and just sent Xun Shu up the stairs and said:
"Oh? There is such a thing? Then... in Xun Qing's opinion, how should Li Ziming be dealt with?"
Xun Shu said:
"People like this who are making trouble and making our Jin country so uneasy should be punished for their crimes! I think I can tell the emperor the whole story, and then ask for the order to execute this person!"
When Han Buxin heard this, he couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"
Jin Houwu glanced at Han Buxin again and asked:
"Han Qing, if this person is indeed innocent, what's wrong?"
Han Buxin said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, you don't know. This Li Ziming is a great sage in the world! Besides, he is the Taishi of Zhou Yi. How can he be killed like this? Your Majesty, please think again!"
Xun Shu pressed hard and said:
"Whether Li Ran should be killed or not is not something that Zhao Yang should consider. This matter should be decided by the emperor! If the emperor thinks that he is guilty, and if the Zhao family is not willing to get rid of this culprit, then the Zhao family will also
It will be hard to escape the blame!”
"Is the entire Zhao family more important, or just Li Ran? I guess there is no need to say more, right?"
After Han Buxin and Wei Chi heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other for a while, and for a moment they were speechless.
Yes, as the saying goes, "Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers." Since Li Ran is a king's minister, how can he escape the punishment of the emperor's decree?
