Chapter 166 How do you know that God can’t bully him?
Compared to the 'thinking', 'shocked', 'horror' and other emotions of the lower-ranking officials in the square outside the palace, the situation inside the Tianji Palace has long been tense.
The two parties at loggerheads were the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other officials.
In other words, the Metropolitan Procuratorate fought against the entire civil and military forces in the palace.
"Are you crazy?!"
"Whether this matter is true or false, it cannot be discussed publicly!"
"Hurry up and ask Du Qianchuan to stop!"
"..."
This is the unanimous view of many officials.
As a small group of people at the center of the imperial court, they must consider the whole world.
In their view, since they already know how to prevent natural disasters, wouldn't it be enough to prevent similar things from happening again?
The future is more important, why bother looking into the past?
In this regard, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's attitude is extremely clear.
"Following Taizu's instructions, I, the Daqing court, should open up a wide range of opinions."
"There is no one in the world who cannot be investigated, and no matter cannot be corrected, even the royal family, even His Majesty!"
"Even Taizu issued an edict to punish himself, let alone the latter?"
"Whoever stands in the way of Du Qianchuan today is forgetting his ancestors and will be punished!"
"..."
Every one of the officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing came.
The left and right are all censors, the left and right deputy censors are all censors, the left and right are all censors, experience and everything.
Altogether there were only about a dozen people.
And it was these ten people who blocked the gate of Tianji Hall, blocking the movement inside the hall, allowing Du Qianchuan outside the hall to continue.
"Haha, there are many of you, and the officials are big. I am only a second-grade official, and I am not as good as many of you."
"In terms of strength, I'm only at the sixth level of body wash. Many of you can easily crush me to death."
"The entire Metropolitan Procuratorate combined cannot stop you."
"But I put my words here today, no matter what you want to do to Du Qianchuan..."
"Can."
Gu Chengren, the censor of the right capital, nodded, "Kill me and destroy the capital procuratorate."
"Hahahahahaha!"
Zuodu Censor Shi Zheng laughed, "Yes, destroy the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Anyway, we won't need it in the future. There is no need for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to exist."
Dou Tianyuan couldn't help but look at Lou Youzhi, who was closest to the dragon chair.
Lou Youzhi looked at his eyes, his nose and his heart, and just stood there with his head bowed, without saying a word.
Dou Tianyuan knew that this incident was undoubtedly caused by Lou Youzhi.
But how dare he?!
The time is not ripe at all at this moment.
To face His Majesty directly, isn't it like seeking death?
What's even more outrageous is that until now, there has been no sound coming from behind the curtain.
He has no intention of stopping Du Qianchuan at all...
Dou Tianyuan was puzzled.
At this moment, Du Qianchuan's last two words were heard outside the hall.
"The humble minister Du Qianchuan impeached Wenchang, Jingsheng... Zhengfeng and other late emperors for the crime of murdering the people!"
——Shua!
The officials who were still in the confrontation were horrified and turned their heads.
Du Qianchuan was stepping into the palace.
"I sincerely request your Majesty to remove his posthumous title and remove him from the Imperial Ancestral Temple in order to pacify the souls of thousands of unjustly dead people!"
!!!
The scalps of all the officials were numb and their bodies felt cold.
Until then, Lou Youzhi finally spoke.
"Du Qianchuan, do you want to plunge the whole world into dire straits?"
Two piercing eyes passed through the chaotic crowd and pierced Du Qianchuan.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he won the approval of most people.
"In dire straits?"
Du Qianchuan laughed loudly, "The interval between natural disasters is getting shorter and shorter. From the Binzhou sea boiling to the Yongzhou locust plague, it only lasted more than ten years. When will the next natural disaster be? When will the next natural disaster be? All the people in the world are already in dire straits.
That’s it!”
"Do you know how much trouble your words will cause?"
Dou Tianyuan asked again.
"When there is a rift between the king and his ministers, the world becomes disloyal."
Du Qianchuan nodded slightly, then suddenly changed the subject: "But so what?"
“Don’t you redress your grievances, and don’t admit your mistakes?”
"The glorious Daqing has been passed down for thousands of years, but it doesn't even have such courage?"
"The official believes that future generations should face up to the mistakes of the predecessors and correct them!"
Du Qianchuan held his head high and was unafraid, saying, "Only when you know your mistakes and then correct them, and when you know your shame and then be brave, will you be lucky to your country and the world!"
"Then have you ever thought that perhaps all the late emperors had their own difficulties?"
Dou Tianyuan asked again.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace looked thoughtful.
yes.
What if there are any difficulties?
After all, those grain stores in various places are just grain stores, not rare treasures. Even I, as an official, don't take a fancy to them, let alone the royal family, let alone His Majesty?
Why sit back and watch refugees die for so little food?
There must be some reason...
Everyone thought so.
"The reason?"
Du Qianchuan's eyes were filled with teasing, and his gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone in the hall.
"As I just said, the earliest Zhengfeng dynasty was only three hundred years ago."
"It's not that I won't tell more, but the records from three hundred years ago can no longer be found."
"Think about it, don't use food when there is food, and don't provide relief when there is a disaster. Is this something that only happened in the past three hundred years?"
"I, Daqing, have a history of thousands of years!"
“How many refugees should have died unjustly and unjustly due to natural disasters?”
"Ten million? Ten million? One hundred thousand?!"
"Those are not flowers and plants, not livestock, those are living people!"
"You can look up."
"They turned into the wind, turned into the rain, and blended into the mountains and rivers."
"My eyes are wide open all the time, staring at Dingtian Mansion, and at us officials who hold high-ranking officials and generous salaries and shout "for the country and the people!"
"The reason?"
"I want to know, what's the reason behind this that requires the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people?"
"I sincerely ask Your Majesty to tell you the reason!"
Du Qianchuan bowed down and said, "If any of you really have to suffer, I believe that all officials and all the people will bear it together with your Majesty!"
Following Du Qianchuan's words, everyone's attention fell behind the curtain.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After a long cup of tea, Emperor Yongtai seemed to have no idea what was happening at the court meeting and never gave any response.
Baiguan's mood gradually sank, falling again and again.
"Hehehe, in that case..."
Du Qianchuan straightened up with a smile.
The next moment, a majestic and awe-inspiring voice spread throughout the Tianji Hall.
"One of them!"
"Those who love Daqing are all citizens of Daqing!"
"Second!"
"Everyone of my Daqing people should be rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes!"
"Third!"
"All of us, the people of Daqing, should complain about injustice and fight against injustice!"
Everyone's expressions became solemn at these three grand words.
These are the first three articles of Taizu's imperial edict.
No matter what they think in their hearts, no one dares to show disapproval on their face.
Even His Majesty is the same today.
"Lou Youzhi, let me ask you!"
Du Qianchuan looked at Lou Youzhi, "Refugees from natural disasters, can they be considered as my Daqing people?"
"Natural disasters are not caused by the human heart, they occur naturally."
Lou Youzhi answered.
"Then I'll ask you again!"
Du Qianchuan took a step forward and said, "My people died unjustly. As an official of the imperial court, am I qualified to voice their injustice and seek justice?"
"In the Thirteenth Edict of Taizu, all court officials, regardless of rank, are responsible for redressing the grievances of the people."
Lou Youzhi said calmly, "Of course you are qualified."
"good!"
Du Qianchuan laughed loudly and said, "Since Your Majesty is silent, then I will let everyone in the world know!"
"The imperial court can predict natural disasters!"
"The imperial court can prepare for a natural disaster before it strikes!"
Du Qianchuan bowed his hands and said, "Please ask the Prime Minister to obtain evidence!"
"Someone is coming!"
Lou Youzhi waved his hand and said, "Take the Qin Tianjian, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and all relevant documents."
After giving the order, the blood-clad guards immediately came out.
Just as this person was about to leave the hall, a pale and elderly voice sounded faintly.
"Someone also needs to go with the Supervisor of Ceremonies."
The person who spoke was Yan Fang, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.
Since Emperor Yongtai retired from the throne, the eunuch who held the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies also disappeared from the public.
As the second person in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Yan Fang became the actual controller of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
However, due to the absence of the emperor's sincere invitation, the authority of the Chief of Ceremonies quickly weakened and fell to the side, becoming a completely marginal organization. Historically, the imperial court rarely participated in actual affairs.
It was a bit thought-provoking to suddenly speak at this time.
The look in Baiguan's eyes was a bit incomprehensible.
"The stakes are very high at this time, and it is inevitable that someone will interfere with it and maliciously fabricate distortions. Our ceremonial supervisor must send someone to accompany him."
Yan Fang looked directly at the officials and said calmly.
"In this case, someone may destroy the evidence, and we, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will need someone to accompany them."
Gu Chengren narrowed his eyes and continued.
Then officials from various ministries and government offices also spoke one after another.
"The same goes for the Criminal Department."
"Dali Temple..."
"We have to retrieve the documents from our household department. This is our unshirkable responsibility..."
"..."
What could have been handled by one person was suddenly assigned more than ten people.
However, in terms of candidates, it was tacitly decided on the first level of body washing.
These people come from different forces, have different backgrounds, and are of equal strength. They can prevent each other from cheating to the greatest extent.
With so many checks and balances, if nothing unexpected happens, those documents will be sent to Tianji Palace intact.
After these people left Tianji Hall, the remaining officials simultaneously focused their attention behind the curtain.
The same doubt appeared in their hearts.
Your Majesty, why are you still silent?
As long as His Majesty opens his mouth, there is still time to stop this grand farce.
Wait a little while, once the evidence is presented and the charges of the late emperors being in need of disaster relief are confirmed, what should we do?
To be condemned is to be unfilial to the ancestors, and to be exempted is to be unkind to the world.
You must choose the same thing from both, there is no room for change.
Time passes slowly.
However, no voice belonging to the emperor came out.
People's hearts were agitated, and the officials began to whisper.
"Why does Your Majesty condone this?"
"Could it be that... what Du Qianchuan said is completely false?"
"It doesn't look like that."
"Du Qianchuan is well prepared. I don't think it's fiction."
"You don't want to live anymore?!"
"What are you afraid of? Du Qianchuan is still alive... Besides, I don't doubt His Majesty."
"I really don't understand what benefits the late emperor would gain from doing this."
"If it's not a benefit, then it's a hardship."
"Then why didn't Your Majesty say anything?"
"Is it possible that His Majesty does not know? For example, the late Emperor Bintian did not pass this matter down before?"
"Uh... I hope so."
"..."
From the bottom of their hearts, the officials did not want to believe that the emperor of Daqing would have such evil thoughts towards the people for no reason.
Unfortunately, Emperor Yongtai never responded, leaving them to speculate in their own direction.
Therefore, 'the late emperors had their own reasons, but Emperor Yongtai did not know about them' became the thinking of most people.
Until after one stick of incense.
A figure quickly crossed the square and fell in front of the gate of Tianji Hall.
"this!!!"
Everyone was shocked and inexplicable.
The person who fell in front of the palace was none other than one of the people who had just left to collect evidence - the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Liu Cheng!
At this time, there was a hole the size of a fist in his abdomen. He was already breathing out more than he was breathing in, and he was about to die soon.
What happened?!
Gu Chengren, who was the closest, ducked over and immediately squatted down to treat Liu Cheng's injuries.
"No, sir..."
Liu Cheng grabbed Gu Chengren's hand and said, "Listen to me."
Gu Chengren's expression turned extremely ugly.
"It's that eunuch."
Liu Cheng used his last strength and said quickly: "We will go to the Ministry of Personnel first, then the Ministry of Husbandry, and finally the Qintian Prison."
"Everything was going well."
"But just when we had just obtained the actual record of the natural disaster, the eunuch suddenly broke out... He would disintegrate the demon."
"Everyone else is dead. The files of the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs, as well as the records of natural disasters, were all destroyed by him..."
"Sir, there is something wrong with Yan Fang, there must be something wrong..."
After struggling to finish the last sentence, Liu Cheng closed his eyes.
"The blood-clad guards obey orders!"
Dou Tianyuan roared angrily, "Catch that eunuch for me. I want to see him alive and his corpse before he dies!!!"
"yes!"
All the personnel belonging to the Blood Clothes Guards responded in unison and ducked away.
Gu Chengren stood up slowly and turned to face the hall.
There, Yan Fang was already surrounded by hundreds of officials.
"Master Yan, should I explain?"
Lou Youzhi said calmly.
"Explain what?"
Yan Fang looked surprised, "The disintegration of the demon was not even included in Daqing's arsenal, so it is obvious that the eunuch who accompanied the hall was a rebel from Taiping Dao who sneaked in and pretended to be."
Such a arrogant attitude and perfunctory answers made everyone's eyes become subtle.
In fact, most of these people don't care that much about the lives of civilians.
What they care about is Emperor Yongtai!
Don't forget, although Yan Fang is not qualified to enter the Curtain, he has been a eunuch in the East Palace since the Wenchang period.
In other words, Yan Fang followed Emperor Yongtai for many years.
Now, Yan Fang's eunuchs have killed the people who collected the evidence and destroyed the evidence...
"Okay, okay, okay."
Shi Zheng looked at Yan Fang gloomily, "Originally, I thought this matter was only done by the late emperors and His Majesty did not know about it, but now..."
"Now?"
Yan Fang chuckled and said, "Shi Zheng, you are the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I have heard that you have the right to make an announcement, but it is a matter to make an announcement, and to judge a crime is to judge a crime."
"When discussing guilt, we must pay attention to evidence."
Saying that, Yan Fang turned around and saluted inside the curtain: "Wei minister, Yan Fang, the eunuch who is responsible for the rites and the eunuch, impeaches Du Qianchuan, the director of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Du Qianchuan fabricated evidence, slandered the royal family, and slandered the late emperors in an attempt to shake the foundation of Daqing and bring chaos to the world."
"Wei Chen suspects that Du Qianchuan, who is clearly an official of the imperial court, is actually a Taiping Dao rebel!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to arrest Du Qianchuan immediately and punish him for the serious crime of treason!"
absurd!
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Just now, you said that the eunuch who destroyed the evidence was a traitor, and now you say that Du Qianchuan is a traitor?
Does rebelling against thieves ruin the good deeds of rebelling against thieves?
Shi Zheng became furious instantly.
Dou Tianyuan quickly restrained him with quick eyes and hands, and whispered: "It's easy to die, but are you sure you want to die like this?"
"I……"
Shi Zheng's chest heaved and his fists were tightly clenched.
At this moment, two words without any emotion came out faintly from behind the curtain.
"Accurate performance."
Yes, Emperor Qing spoke.
From the beginning of the Great Chao Meeting until now, Emperor Qing finally spoke.
As for whose performance it was, it was naturally not Du Qianchuan's.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Fang saluted inside the curtain and turned around, "We haven't captured Du Qianchuan yet!"
Inside and outside Tianji Hall, there are imperial guards and blood-clothed guards.
However, the Imperial Guard was in the hands of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War was in the hands of Lou Youzhi.
The blood-clad guards are in the hands of Dou Tianyuan.
Therefore, Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan did not nod, and neither party moved.
"Do you want to rebel with Du Qianchuan?"
Yan Fang scolded sternly.
Dou Tianyuan sighed and raised his hand to wave down.
There is no way, His Majesty has given clear instructions. If we really insist on not taking action, we don't know what the situation will turn into later.
However, at this moment, Du Qianchuan spoke.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Behind the crowd, Du Qianchuan spoke quietly, attracting everyone's attention.
"I remembered something interesting."
"When I was in the Literary and Selection Department, I read several local reports."
"One of them is from Yongzhou."
"There is a very, very small official, so small that he doesn't even have a rank."
"When he was transferred to another place, he left two words for the local people."
"I think it makes sense, so I'll give it to you now."
"Your salary is your salary, and the people are rich and anointed. It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them."
After reading these sentences, Du Qianchuan looked towards the curtain and said, "Your Majesty."
"Words are forbidden!"
"The body is killable!"
"However, people's hearts will never stop, and justice--eternal!!!"
Du Qianchuan roared sternly: "The humble minister Du Qianchuan will impeach all the late emperors for the crime of murdering all people!"
"I sincerely request Your Majesty to remove his posthumous title and remove him from the Imperial Ancestral Temple, in order to comfort the thousands of souls who have died unjustly!"
"minister!"
"Death advice!!!"
As soon as the words "dead remonstrance" came out of his mouth, Du Qianchuan shot out and hit the dragon pillar beside him.
--Bang!
The head is cracked and the Tianji Palace is stained with blood!
Du Qianchuan, dead!
There was dead silence in the hall.
It’s not like everyone has never seen death remonstrances, but until now, they don’t know what real death remonstrances are…remonstrances with death!
"Hehehehehe..."
Gu Chengren shook his head and laughed, "You have a salary and a lot of money. The people are rich and anointed by the people. It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully you?"
"No, no, no, this is wrong."
"It should be more appropriate to add a few words."
"Your salary and salary are what you deserve, and the wealth and wealth of the people are all fertilizer."
"It is easy for the people below to torture, control, kill or bury them, but it is difficult for God to bully them. How do you know?"
As he spoke, Gu Chengren took off his black gauze hat and red official robe, and then raised his hands toward the curtain, "Your Majesty, I am begging for the bones."
Without waiting for a response, Gu Chengren turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked away with his head held high.
A dignified second-rank official resigned in public like this, leaving no face for Emperor Yongtai.
"I am also begging for bones."
"The same is true for me."
"..."
Many officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate followed Gu Chengren's example and removed their hats and robes.
No matter whether they are old or strong, they all claim to beg for their bones.
Only Shi Zheng, the censor of Zuodu, did not move.
There are still things he has not checked out and things he has not finished yet.
After a long time, when there was no new movement in the hall, Lou Youzhi spoke.
"Du Qianchuan's previous statement has no human witness or physical evidence, so it will not be acted upon."
"In addition, Yan Fang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has neglected his duties. I have decided to remove him from his official position, exile him thousands of miles away, and will never be employed."
"Do you have any objections?"
The low words echoed in Tianji Hall, gradually bringing everyone back to their thoughts.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally shook their heads.
"We have no objection."
"Retreat from the court."
A farce that ended in an anticlimax ended like this.
After everyone dispersed, Tianji Hall was quickly cleared.
Whether it was the blood stains or the fishy smell in the air, there was nothing abnormal at all, as if Du Qianchuan had never come in at all.
pity.
Du Qianchuan's traces have indeed been cleared away, but what he said remains deeply in everyone's mind, echoing endlessly.
As soon as Lou Youzhi left Yongqing Palace, Dou Tianyuan stepped out and stopped him halfway.
"What on earth are you thinking???"
Dou Tianyuan raised his hand to block the surrounding area, and asked with a stern face: "It's okay, why are you impeaching the late emperor? After such a commotion, Du Qianchuan died, nothing has changed, and now even you may be dismissed at any time."
"Impeach the late emperor?"
Lou Youzhi smiled disdainfully, "It's just a few dead people, would I do such a meaningless thing?"
"That……"
Dou Tianyuan's heart moved slightly.
"It took Du Qianchuan a whole stick of incense to go from outside the palace to the palace to impeach the late emperor."
Lou Youzhi narrowed his eyes, "Indeed, all relevant evidence has been destroyed."
"But the problem is, with Du Qianchuan's remarks, if there is another natural disaster in the future, he will have no chance to massacre refugees...regardless of the evidence or not."
"Your Majesty knows this better than anyone else, but he still lets it go."
"Leave Du Qianchuan alone and let him say all these words."
"I guess."
The corners of Lou Youzhi's lips raised slightly, "It's not that he can't get out of the curtain, he just...can't get out of the curtain!"
"Can't get out of the curtain..."
Dou Tianyuan's face trembled, "In other words, you and I don't have to worry about anything anymore?"
"More than that."
Lou Youzhi thought for a while, turned around and faced the direction of Yongqing Palace, raised his right hand, and slowly curled it into a fist.
"Starting from today, Daqing..."
"It's mine!"
…
…
outside the city.
A mountain col next to the pasture.
The place is overgrown with weeds, and there are no clear paths. It is obviously a remote place where few people come and go.
But in such a remote place, a small thatched house appeared at some point.
Outside the house is a tomb without a stone tablet.
Inside the house is a large vat filled with medicinal liquid.
And the body is completely immersed in the medicine, and it is unknown whether it is alive or dead.
