After the renovation of the solemn Jianzhang Palace, many windows were added. The light inside was more abundant, but it also looked more majestic and domineering. I don’t know what kind of methods the Gongshu family used, but the appearance of the main hall has not changed. After walking in,
But it is wider, and the position of the emperor's throne is higher and majestic. Even if there is no emperor sitting on it, it still makes people feel like they dare not look directly.
Today, there will be a court meeting in Jianzhang Palace about Su Ren tearing up the imperial edict and beating the chamberlain, but the atmosphere makes everyone feel that something is wrong. As usual, the emperor will not appear at the court meeting immediately, but everyone knows that the emperor is sitting on the throne at this time.
Behind the wide screen, you still need to be careful when speaking, and don't say everything. You might be able to discuss others today and then go back to discuss yourself tomorrow.
The prime minister is the host of the court discussion. He is responsible for collecting the opinions of everyone, or most people, and summarizing them before reporting to the emperor. Therefore, the prime minister is more like a neutral referee during the court discussion. However, the prime minister also has a prime minister.
He has the right to stop the critic without waiting for him to finish speaking, or he can announce the end of the court meeting before the opponent has spoken. Therefore, the prime minister is a black whistle who sets the outcome of the court meeting.
Court meetings usually include officials with more than 2,000 dan in Beijing. Although the requirements are high, the number of people is quite large. This must be Chang'an, where the Marquis can grab a lot of people, and the bastards in Jinshui River may all have 2,000 dan.
Senior officials, let alone people. Of course, you can also choose not to come, but you must be able to withstand the punishment of deprivation of salary and titles.
There were many people here today and they were all present. After Dou Ying repeatedly asked the court officials to confirm the number of people and personnel, he announced the start of the court meeting. As usual, before the court meeting, the Prime Minister would give a brief summary of the people and things to be discussed.
and introduction, so that the civil and military officials can have a preliminary understanding of the objects of their court discussions. Although doing so is purely unnecessary, Dou Ying very, very strictly followed the rules today and described Su Ren and the case involving Su Ren word by word.
An introduction was made.
It was just an introduction, without the slightest analysis or summary. It was plain and simple, without any verbal inclination or protection. After Dou Ying finished what he wanted to say, the hall became surprisingly quiet. The people who can stand here are not ordinary people.
They thought more and made many countermeasures. However, when Dou Ying did not express his position, many people imitated Dou Ying and stopped quietly, taking a look at the situation first.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, when the sound of a copper bell that shook the sky came from behind the screen, the people in the hall came back to their senses. They dared to stand for too long and couldn't stop talking. If they still
If you want to continue standing here tomorrow, you have to say something. But what to say? Without the emperor's prompting, let alone the prime minister's prompting, nonsense will kill people.
Dou Ying was indifferent and sat quietly in his seat, holding his hands on his chest and closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. Even Guan Fu, who always liked to shout loudly, was surprisingly quiet today. He stood there
Behind Dou Ying, he does not look like a guard in charge of the palace defense, but more like Dou Ying's younger brother. If you are thoughtful, you hope to see some skills from Guan Fu, a warrior, but it is a pity that Guan Fu has the same twisted old face as Dou Ying.
It actually stretched out today.
"Cough!" The sound of the cough was not loud, and it was definitely coming from the direction of the palace gate. It was definitely not the sound of the emperor or the prime minister, so everyone turned their heads in unison and tried to search for the source of the sound.
An official, judging from the color of his uniform, his rank is not high, and he is about two thousand dan. He is quite good-looking, with a dignified appearance, with three strands of beard flowing on his chest. He wears a high hair crown on his head.
He is upright, his robe is spotless, the dark spots are black and blue, and the red spots are as red as blood. He wears a long sword on his waist, from the heel to two inches below the chin. This is the standard dress of a civil servant.
"Censor Zhongcheng Wang Wenshu has something to say!" Wang Wenshu did not feel any nervousness or timidity in front of everyone. He walked slowly and straightly, straight back to the throne. He first saluted the throne, then saluted Prime Minister Dou Ying, and finally
He saluted everyone present, and then continued to speak: "Hussars General Su Ren has made great contributions to our great Han Dynasty. Starting from offering cloth bags of salt, he spent 13 years conquering the Southern Barbarians, pacifying the Western Qiang, stabilizing the Western Regions, and pacifying the Monan.
The great achievements are so outstanding that no one has ever done them before, and they can be compared with those of Zhou Zhidan. With the hussar generals, it will not be difficult for our Han Dynasty to survive for thousands of years!"
Wang Wenshu is very good at talking. He summarized Su Ren's life in just a few sentences. Whether there is any other flavor in it can only be tasted by yourself. In short, except for the last sentence, what he said is quite pertinent. Of course, this is also the court's opinion.
Regardless of whether you are going to say good or bad things later, the foreshadowing in front of you cannot be missing. At least you can prove that you are a magnanimous person and add value to the tone and credibility of the subsequent arguments.
"but!"
As soon as these words came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They may say that what everyone wanted to hear was the words that followed, and they were also waiting for the word "but". As long as someone dared to speak, and the emperor and the prime minister did not interrupt or refuse, so many
It can prove the meaning of the court. Everyone is waiting for Wang Wenshu to see his results and then come up with a prepared plan to deal with today's court meeting.
"However, merit comes from trial and error, and merit and demerit cannot be confused! Su Ren's merit is true. Your Majesty simply took him out of the wilderness. From a humble merchant, he has become a general with a heavy army in our hands in the Han Dynasty.
In other words, it cannot be said that His Majesty's rewards were not generous or His Majesty's treatment of him was rude. However, Su Ren did not want to serve the imperial court and His Majesty, and he tore up the imperial edict because his official position was not to his liking. What's more, he even beat the servant who delivered the edict, which shows that he had no regard for His Majesty.
So dissatisfied."
There was a slight pause. Wang Wenshu glanced around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and smiled faintly at Dou Ying: "In addition, Su Ren resisted the imperial decree not once. Not to mention, two years ago, Su Ren returned from the imperial decree.
Jing did not return to Chang'an, but hid at home. His majesty did not pursue his contribution to stabilizing the Western Regions. He only sent his servants to tie him to the palace and punish him lightly. However, your majesty also entrusted him with important responsibilities. Who would have imagined that he now has a heavy army?
If you continue to do illegal things, the speaker will be heartbroken, and it will be even more heartbreaking to listen to it, right?"
No one answered Wang Wenshu. Although Wang Wenshu made an argument for this court meeting, the meaning was very obvious, that is, Su Ren wanted to rebel, and he had the capital to rebel. There were so many people present, and many of them were related to Su Ren to some extent.
After contacts, they believed that Su Ren was talented and arrogant, and they thought it was okay to say that Su Ren was flying and domineering, but it seemed a bit far-fetched to say that Su Ren was a rebel.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Wenshu coughed again: "Ahem! General Hussar is a talented person, but he is also very talented and learned. However, there are many princes in the court who have been friends with General Hussar for many years, and they are more or less like General Hussar.
The general of the cavalry has delivered a hand, and some have received the help of the general of the cavalry, and some are the students of the general of the cavalry. It is understandable that these people want to protect Su Qiuqi, but don't forget, you are Han officials, how can you not do it for them?
Your Majesty shares your worries and doesn't show concern for me, a big man?"
"Some people will hate me, and I'm afraid there are not a few who will even kill me because of my words. However, as a Han official, I should do the things of a minister. As the censor, I have the right to supervise all officials and make reports on rumors. As long as I don't die, I can say what I need to say.
You have to do what you have to do! My king, Wen Shu, sheds all his blood just for His Majesty and for the great man, and I don’t feel it’s a pity.”
"Today we are discussing the crime. Wen Shu, the imperial censor, has reported to your majesty that the hussar general Su Renmu has no emperor. He tore up the imperial edict and beat the servant who delivered the edict. It was justified and well-founded. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, he was cut in half in the city and annihilated three tribes!" The last sentence!
Wang Wenshu's words were decisive. Without waiting for others to refute, he turned around and saluted the dragon chair. He still held his head high and walked past the crowd of officials before walking back to his seat.
Wang Wenshu's words are not long, and the language is not very gorgeous, but every word and every sentence directly pokes Su Ren's weakness, making it sound like there is no refutation, let alone any reason to refute.
Three crisp copper bells rang out from behind the screen, and the buzz in the entire hall continued for a long time. Three copper bells had never been heard in previous court meetings, and no one could guess that this was the emperor ringing it because he was happy.
Or do you knock because you are angry?
After the bell rang, Dou Ying finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up unsteadily. Everyone knew that if there was anyone in the court who thought Su Ren was the pillar of the Han Dynasty, it was Dou Ying. Regardless of the fact that Su Ren reminded Dou Ying to avoid it.
Wu'an Hou Tianfan's fierce attacks, in the past few years, the two of them, one outside and the other inside, complemented each other and made the Han Dynasty prosperous. You can see the tacit cooperation between the two and the friendship between them in previous years.
Dou Ying took out a memorial letter from his arms and came to the center of the hall. Without looking at anyone, he bowed respectfully to the dragon chair and raised the memorial letter above his head with both hands: "Your Majesty, what the imperial censor Zhongcheng said
I am unable to refute, but I am an ancient hussar general, and I have the gift of saving lives. In addition, I have been a prime minister for several years without any achievements, and now I am old and frail. I would like to ask your majesty to resign as prime minister, and please give me your permission!"
He knocked his head down hard and didn't get up for a long time. As soon as Dou Ying finished speaking, Guan Fu also came out. Like Dou Ying, he held up the resignation letter with both hands and knelt behind Dou Ying. Their words were almost exactly the same, but
This is also true. After the two of them finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Tang. If Dou Ying and Guan Fu were Su Ren's students, then Zhang Tang was definitely Su Ren's student. Wang Wenshu said very clearly just now that Chao
Some of them include ancient and students.
However, everyone was disappointed. Zhang Tang made no move. He still stood in the team, looking at everything in front of him coldly. He had no intention of going out to stop him, nor did he intend to resign along with him. However, someone noticed that Zhang Tang just
Looking at Wang Wenshu three times, this is very telling. As a court official, Zhang Tang has already established his reputation as ruthless. Looking at Wang Wenshu three times, even if Wang Wenshu can really move to Suren this time, I am afraid it will not be good for a few days.
The days have passed.
There was no bell ringing, and no one came out to speak. After holding it for a long time, Dou Ying and Guan Fu placed the memorial on the first step in front of the throne. They supported each other and stood up, looking ahead without looking at anyone.
Sanhuang stumbled out of the hall. Everyone kept watching the two people leave, the old man's back was pulled in the sunset. (To be continued)
