Although he had already known that this would happen, Chen Shao's heart still jumped twice when he really heard it and when he caught the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye.
"Your Majesty, the life-saving grace should be treated with concern. On the contrary, their behavior is a favor. If they avoid trouble and don't ask, or even add insult to injury, that is what they are afraid of." Chen Shao said.
Gao Lingbo smiled.
"So Mr. Chen is also speaking for favors at this time?" he said.
"I am doing this out of favor." Chen Shao said calmly.
Everyone in the palace looked at him.
"Just now, Censor Zhonghui mentioned Caochuanhe. Everyone knows why Caochuanhe was defeated that year," Chen Shao said.
At that time, Taizu brought peace to the world and fought all the way to the territory of the West Thieves. He could have captured the West Thieves' Royal Court in one fell swoop. However, because the rewards from the previous war had not yet arrived, his people were distracted. He fell short and was defeated at the Caochuan River under the West Thieves City.
And return.
"To educate the world, people should be loyal, righteous and filial, but the people's wisdom is still undeveloped, but most of them value money and interests. The imperial court can restrict the career and career of generals, but it cannot treat the lower-level soldiers the same way." Chen Shao went on to say, "Xiao Zhi uses reason.
, Lure them to gain, and you will always get bad results. What this matter is about now is whether Jiang Wenyuan acted appropriately and whether he failed to realize his merits. This is related to the vital interests of the soldiers and whether they have resentment towards the imperial court. This is human nature.
And the kindness of soldiers is also a matter of state."
"If you are dissatisfied with what you want and are unjust for a while, can you incite the people to threaten the court?" Gao Lingbo sneered, "Don't the courts make decisions for the people? A peasant woman even knows how to beat the drum if she loses a pig. Is it possible that this
A woman who has cured an incurable disease and opened a restaurant and restaurant, whose biological father is Quan Zhizhou, and whose uncle is a general named Guide, is a miracle doctor, but she doesn’t know how to complain about her grievances?”
"So Master Gao also knows that they are grievances?" Chen Shao asked calmly.
"I don't know if they have any grievances against me, but it seems that Mr. Chen has some grievances." Gao Lingbo sneered.
"Li Ziwen."
The emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, interrupting the dispute between the two men in the palace.
Censor Zhongcheng stood up and answered yes.
"How is your question?" the emperor asked.
Censor Zhongcheng responded and took out a document from his sleeve.
"You said, I am listening, and everyone is listening too." The emperor said without answering.
Not willing to connect...
You can see the disgust in my heart.
A smile flashed in Gao Lingbo's eyes, while Chen Shao's expression across from him was dull.
"Fan Jianglin said that when their general Guan Zhonghe was about to bypass Linguan Village, they suddenly encountered the Western Bandit King's Division. They were originally outnumbered, but in order to delay the formation of rear defenses, they defended the city with less than 2,000 men to meet the enemy. He said
They wanted to defend the city for an hour, but they didn't want Fang Zhonghe to abandon the city halfway. Their brothers and other abandoned soldiers insisted on defending the city. When the city was burning, the Western thieves broke through the city gate..."
Li Ziwen's slightly stiff voice echoed in the hall.
This is the first time that everyone has heard a detailed description of this war, although more than two months have passed.
The war is cruel, as you can imagine, so what? Is this what officials like them who can stand here have to consider?
All they have to consider is the result, whether they win or lose. It doesn't matter how they win or lose.
Gao Lingbo had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Next, he should describe how tragic the battle was and how brave they were.
"...Then he was hit by a heavy arrow from a Western bandit and fell down the city wall and fainted. He was later rescued by reinforcements who came to rescue him and survived." Yushi Zhongcheng said, and then put down the memorial in his hand to express his gratitude.
It's over.
The people in the whole place were a little stunned.
"That's it?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Li Ziwen carefully picked it up and looked at the memorial to confirm.
"That's it." He nodded and said.
that's all…
"He fainted on the way. He was lucky enough to survive..."
"Then what does he want to do? Does he still need compensation even if he doesn't die?"
"Because the general ran away, is that why they were killed or injured?"
There was a buzzing discussion in the hall.
The censors on both sides stood up and scolded each other, and then the palace became quiet.
"Where is Mrs. Cheng? What did she say?" the emperor asked.
This kind of thing is much more interesting to the eldest prince than the quarrels between the ministers. The eldest prince looked at Yu Shi Zhongcheng with great interest, and thought of something, he looked at Jin'an County Prince out of the corner of his eye.
Prince Jin'an, who was always energetic at other times, now looked a little dull.
Censor Zhongcheng glanced at the memorial.
"She said she wanted to take credit," he said.
She said she wanted to take credit.
There was another moment of silence in the hall.
When she said that she wanted to strive for merit, she was not just innocently wanting to welcome her sworn brothers to be buried, nor was she just wanting to put on a show and make a fuss about the funeral. She didn't expect that it would cause such a thing. It wasn't that she did it unintentionally...but that she did it intentionally.
.
She wants to take credit!
There was an uproar in the hall again.
"What kind of credit is she fighting for? There are so many people who fight to the death, how can there be such a thing!"
"Can she act so wantonly if she has money and a lot of publicity?"
"Blackmail public opinion!"
The two censors had no choice but to scold again to make the palace quiet.
The emperor on the dragon throne smiled slightly.
"It's easy to admit it," he said.
After looking at the emperor's expression and listening to the emperor's words, the eyes of Gao Lingbo and Chen Shao changed slightly.
The emperor is like this, he likes this feeling. I know everything you do, don't try to deceive me. If this woman keeps complaining and claiming innocence, the emperor will only become more disgusted. But if she admits it, she will be able to blackmail people's opinions for her own use.
The conclusion was conclusive, but it slightly eased the emperor's disgust.
But it's just a slight relief of disgust. With this title firmly established, no matter what the outcome of Lu Zheng's impeachment is, she can't escape the crime.
Chen Shao frowned, this little lady... she had to risk her life to earn merit for those sworn brothers who died. What's the point even if she gets the fame? It's just for venting her anger. If you make good use of such fame, you should have a lot of achievements.
Good thing, this fame turned out to be a hindrance to her.
In the end, women are narrow-minded and act on their own whims.
"Send her here. I want to ask her what merit she wants to fight for and what grievances she has." The emperor continued.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the palace was shocked.
"Your Majesty, no, how can you tolerate such a despicable woman?"
"That's right, His Majesty can see that she is beating the drum like this, but she is relying on Shinto words to incite public opinion, collude with officials, slander and frame the generals, how can you condone her!"
The officials said one after another that the court was noisy and chaotic again, and the censor could not calm everyone down even after scolding him many times.
"It is precisely because she is like this that I have to listen to her and let her speak. I am not only giving her an explanation, but also an explanation to the people, and an explanation to the officials who were framed."
Although the officials still wanted to object, the emperor had made up his mind. After receiving the order, the small yellow gatekeepers rushed to convey the message, while the emperor also took advantage of this to take a short rest.
The emperor rested in the back hall, and the officials could only wait in the front hall. Although the censor stood aside with a keen eye, it could not stop everyone from standing and talking softly.
Everyone had different expressions, some were excited, some were indifferent, and some were worried. They all obviously guessed the consequences of the emperor's decision.
"Lu Zheng is finished." Gao Lingbo said with a somewhat relaxed expression.
Others nodded.
"Your Majesty wants to learn from Taizu," an official said.
There was a lot of discussion in the court, and there was a lot of restlessness outside the court. What happened in the court could not be hidden from anyone, not to mention that it was such a rare thing, and it quickly spread among interested people.
"At that time, the border general Song Ming Yougong Shuoshuo was cruel and corrupt. He ran rampant under his rule and robbed people of their money, wives and daughters. A small citizen came to Beijing to beat the drum. Taizu personally summoned this people."
Because of his convenient status, Qin Thirteenth Lang was able to sit in a cubicle outside his father's official hall and said to Liu Zulang.
Saturday Lang's expression was gloomy. Although he was holding a tea bowl, he didn't bring it to his mouth for half a day, which showed that he was nervous.
"She can use her fame to threaten public opinion, and His Majesty can naturally use her blackmail to gain fame. In any case, His Majesty's willingness to meet Mrs. Cheng has satisfied the people. As for whether he can get any reward, it is not what the people care about.
It's something they just care about."
"Then His Majesty will lightly reprimand Jiang Wenyuan for not appeasing the morale of the troops, and let the Northwest Army hold another grand sacrifice for the dead soldiers. The people will be even more appeased, and Jiang Wenyuan will be even more grateful for His Majesty's protection. Everyone is grateful and praises Your Majesty
You are a kind, kind and wise king. As for Lu Zheng, he was first good at delivering messages, and then exaggerated public opinion to frame the meritorious officials and fooled the court. Your Majesty is kind and does not kill civil servants, but I am afraid that he will end up in Nanzhou with his life."
"So, Xu Maoxiu and the others still get nothing?" Zhou Lang said.
Qin Shisanlang glanced at him.
"I think they've got it," he said. "The whole city is talking about Maoyuan Mountain, and even the emperor personally asked about it. It's a great achievement if you don't get it."
Liu Lang was silent for a moment and put down the tea bowl in his hand.
"You are right, but I don't think the result will be like this." He said, "Is she busy just to fulfill other people's needs?"
Is she that kind of person?
"Doing this kind of thing is just a waste of time." Gao Lingbo laughed in a low voice, looking at Chen Shao across from him, and saw that his expression was neither happy nor angry, but there was a bit of relaxation in his eyes.
"How can this work be in vain? Your Majesty is a student of Taizu, which means that your Majesty thinks Jiang Wenyuan has done something wrong." Chen Shao looked at him and said with a smile.
Gao Lingbo's smile became even stronger.
"The trees are as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy them. The nature is higher than that of people, and the crowd will reject it. Jiang Wenyuan is in the northwest, and things are complicated. He has a slight intention to treat the soldiers lightly. It can only be said that he is not thoughtful, and it is not a big mistake."
he said.
This kind of behavior is actually a good thing for the emperor. It is more appropriate for the emperor to do the things to appease the morale of the soldiers than for Jiang Wenyuan to do it.
Chen Shao also smiled.
"What if he committed more than this?" he said.
Isn't it just this kind of thing?
What else could have happened?
Gao Lingbo frowned and wanted to speak, but the censor coughed heavily.
"The Cheng daughter is here," he said.
The officials in the palace became quiet and looked outside the door. In front of the empty palace in the distance, there was a small yellow door leading a woman slowly approaching.
Because the face saint removed the veil and removed the burqa, the woman wearing only a plain dress seemed to have lost weight. Against the backdrop of the tall palaces around her, she looked even smaller and thinner.
Is this Mrs. Cheng? Everyone present, except Chen Shao, was seeing her for the first time and couldn't help but squint their eyes.
