A gust of east wind brought a layer of green, but unexpectedly white rain fell behind the wind.
I don't see the birds singing to warm the flowers, but the late spring cold blows and makes me feel suspicious.
The wind and snow are blowing, and the cold wave is biting. The capital is sparsely populated in the early morning, and there is a rare silence. In the square in the imperial city, "Three Cities, Five Appearances, and Hundreds of Prefectures and County Lieutenants", the people with state-owned official titles in the New Year except the Zhang family in the West City.
Almost everyone gathered here. It is said that there is a big news to be announced today, which is related to the general trend of the country.
"Robbing men and dominating women, disrespecting elders, bullying and dominating the market, destroying the economy, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country..." Official A and Official B hid in a sheltered place and discussed in a low voice, "The children of Prince Ji's family will not be able to escape their crimes."
"That's right." Official B said, "Releasing all the slaves in Southern City is a terrible disaster that no one can resist." He raised his hand and pointed to a few people standing on the steps of the main hall in the distance, "Look
, Yao Zhigang’s momentum today is very strong.”
Standing at the forefront of the civil and military officials are the top figures of the New Kingdom pyramid, the Central Prime Minister Yang Guanglin, the West Prime Minister Ji Wuyong, the South Prime Minister Yao Zhigang, the Nanjing City Advocate Ban, the East Prime Minister Ji Xinjian, and the East City Lord Ji Xinlan
, Northern Prime Minister Ji Xinhuai, Northern City Lord Ji Xinhua, and the capital’s defense chief and garrison general Li Ziwei.
"Hahaha," Yang Guanglin approached Yao Zhigang with a smile and said with greetings, "Mr. Yao, I heard that you only arrived last night? You traveled day and night under the stars and the moon, haha, it's hard work."
"Well, Prime Minister. My nephew is polite." Yao Zhigang bowed and saluted, "Serving as a director of the country is just my duty. I just hope that I can live up to your majesty's trust and the people's payment. Yao is willing to be wiped out with all his heart and soul, and to dedicate his blood with all his heart.
The country is in such a hurry that it is nothing more than a trivial matter."
"Hehe, hehe." Yang Guanglin said, "Brother Yuan can have a son like you. It can be said that a tiger father has no dog son, and a dragon gives birth to a strange child. Hahaha..."
"I don't dare to take it, I don't take it." Yao Zhigang said, "My father is a 'conspirator of rebellion' and a villain who 'has harmed the country', so why should he be called the tiger father? I am just a hard rock with a bad temper, let alone a Lin'er."
Yao Zhigang's father, Yao Yuan, was the right prime minister of the country at that time, second only to the left prime minister Yang Guanglin. After Ji Yuan's death, he "encouraged the rebels" and "intended to rebel", and was sentenced to death by Emperor Ji Xiang, and almost killed all nine tribes.
If ordinary people heard Yao Zhigang's words, they probably wouldn't be able to continue. However, Yang Guanglin, a veteran of the Four Dynasties, did not hold back and said: "Didn't Emperor Xiang rehabilitate Brother Yuan? And he affirmed his support for Nian Guo.
Credit goes to the tiger father. As for you, Zhigang, haha, your achievements over the years will be obvious to the country in the new year. You are the pillar of the country and the pillar holding the sky."
Yao Zhigang shook his head, not wanting to continue discussing his own affairs with Yang Guanglin. "Prime Minister, do you know about the slaves escaping from Nanjing City?"
"Of course." Yang Guanglin nodded slightly, "A few days ago, City Lord Zhang Panzhang informed His Majesty in the main hall, and I was at the scene."
"I wonder what you think of the culprits, Jade Bird Man and Jade Swing?" Yao Zhigang asked, "Why was my application for a national wanted order not approved?"
"Children. Just two children." Yang Guanglin said with a smile, "Children will always make mistakes. Why bother to kill them all? Just forget about the wanted order. I don't agree with it. You should not be angry with children at your age."
Prime Minister Nan frowned and said: "Prime Minister, do you know what you are talking about?! You actually say that such a serious crime is just a 'mistake'?!"
"It's just a mistake." Ji Xinhuai and others had been listening for a long time. Feeling that Yao Zhigang was getting angry, they hurriedly came to him and said, "Yao Xiang, what do these two children know? They must be playful and get into trouble. They are definitely
It was an honest mistake...or maybe someone deceived you. You and the Prime Minister just talked about Prime Minister Yao Yuan. If he hadn't been deceived by Zhou Long,
How could they close the city and refuse to accept Emperor Jixiang's imperial edict? It's not the fault of the two children... Moreover, Brother Wu Yong's two children have experienced "resurrection from the dead", so they must be not clear-headed and something is wrong.
There's nothing wrong with that, it's understandable..." All the princes surrounded Yao Zhigang, pleading for the Jade Bird Man and explaining.
"You!" Yao Zhigang said angrily, "The crime of harming the country is called 'wrong' by you?! Shameless! I am ashamed to be an official in the same court as you, who are lazy and live in fear of power! Get away! Don't
If you say any more, you will dirty your ears!"
"..." Ji Xinlan and others were scolded, but no one dared to refute. After all, everyone knew that Yao Zhigang was not even afraid of Ji Bu Yi, King Ji Xiang. If they said more, they would only bring humiliation to themselves. Several people shook their heads.
Shaking his head, he walked to the other end of the steps in front of Ji Buyong and whispered, "Brother Wuyong, don't argue with that hard stone. We will definitely keep our nephew safe. Don't worry."
Ji Bu responded with a smile and nodded without saying anything more. He turned his head and glanced at Yao Zhigang, who was fuming, with unclear meaning.
The scene where Yao Zhigang scolded the kings of the Ji family was clearly seen by all the officials. Although everyone admired his courage and integrity, they did not feel that Prime Minister Nan could do what he wanted to do.
"Sigh~ Mr. Yao Yuan, the Prime Minister, was loyal and loyal. He had a son, Yao Zhigang, so he can be considered dead and can rest in peace. But if he were to come forward today and try to use the Jade Bird Man's crime as a breakthrough to overthrow Prince Ji's Mansion, I'm afraid it would be like a fly shaking a tree. He might end up hurting himself.
I will die in hell. If that happens, the Yao family will be the last of its kind." Official A sighed.
"It's hard to say. His Majesty has urgently summoned officials from all over the country. It can't be for routine inspections of officials to report on their work. Maybe it's to support Yao Zhigang's appeal. This time of Prince Ji's Mansion... Haha. I heard that Nanjing City has been very busy in recent days.
It's lively, many old generals of King Ji have entered
I feel very strange. Maybe the emperor has some secret intention for Yao Zhigang. Nanjing City is just a precursor, and the fun is to come." Official B said, "And isn't there a prodigal waste Yao Daomei in Yaomen? Why?
I can’t say it will ever end.”
"That Yao Daomei followed Zhang Zaitian to Xijing City. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He was of no use. He had a bad temper and bullied good and was afraid of evil. How can he be considered a member of the Yao family." Official A said, "As for what you said about Prince Ji's Mansion this time. Haha, I'll talk to you.
Bet, there will be no problem. Didn’t you see just now? Several of His Majesty’s emperors
Brother, how dare they see Ji Wuyong's groveling look. Moreover, the emperor has repeatedly expressed his complete trust in Ji Wuyong, and he will definitely not suddenly want to "turn down Ji Wuyong". In addition, the most important thing is the attitude of Prince Ji Xinyun.
If we really wanted to do 'that thing', how could the eldest sister of the New Year Emperor not be there?"
"But even if you say that, how can the Jade Bird man get away with it?" Official B said, "That is a major crime involving the entire New Year people's livelihood, trade and economy, and Yao Zhigang also gave him the name of being a treasonous traitor."
"I don't know." Official A said, "Anyway, I don't think the power of Prince Pingji's palace will collapse because of such a 'small mistake'. As for a way to escape guilt... I can think of one."
"What?"
"That's..."
……………………
"The imperial edict has arrived."
"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."
