Chapter 304 I want you to die today
...
23, sunny.
Suitable for: offering sacrifices, recognizing relatives, making stoves, and raising beams.
Unsuitable for: framing, installing beds, plotting, and traveling.
Today is the last court meeting of the year. The next
court meeting will be next year. It is
freezing cold. Prime Minister
Lu's home is relatively close to the palace.
As the first prime minister, he has many honors.
For example, others have to get off the carriage at the door and then walk in.
Because the palace is too big, even if you reach the door and walk inside, it takes a long time.
Especially when it is freezing cold, the architecture of the palace is tall, majestic, and empty. It is cool in summer, and the wind in winter is so evil that it penetrates the crotch of pants and makes the leg hair feel a little chilly. Prime Minister
Lu could ride in a sedan chair and sit directly in the innermost part.
His treatment was a little worse than that of the emperor.
The emperor came out of the palace in a sedan chair.
He could also ride in a sedan chair when he entered from the outside. When
the carriage arrived at the door, he would change sedan chairs.
On weekdays, Prime Minister Lu usually did not enjoy such honor.
He still preferred to walk, and people would salute him respectfully along the way.
Bending and sticking out his butt, bending and nodding, nodding and smiling...
He enjoyed the feeling of thousands of people bowing their heads in front of him even more.
At the same time, there were many things in the eye contact when they met.
Some subtle differences could be judged from the eyes.
It was from these clues and eye contact that Prime Minister Lu judged that a traitor was going to betray him, and he took him down first.
But it is too cold today.
He handled official business very late last night.
In some ways, he is a very responsible prime minister. He is basically the one who handles all the memorials from the whole country. He is too busy every day. He can never finish his work. Sometimes he wants to take a nap at noon, but he feels that there is not enough time and dare not close his eyes. He
doesn't fall asleep until midnight at night.
It is especially cold today.
He is not feeling well.
There will be a tough battle to fight soon, so he has to conserve his energy first.
A small eunuch minister is not a tough battle. Prime
Minister Lu is used to doing things thoroughly. Even a lion will use all its strength to catch a rabbit.
It should be enough to collect so many charges in such a short time.
In fact, it is very simple for him to kill someone.
It's just that he has to consider the emperor's mood.
He closed his eyes in the sedan chair and thought.
Normally, he would not touch anyone in front of the emperor, but this Huangmen Minister always made Prime Minister Lu feel uncomfortable.
His intuition after years of being an official told him that this person must not be kept.
The more important thing is actually the conspiracy with the Seventh Prince. Prime Minister
Lu has already contacted the Seventh Prince.
If you don't contact him, you won't know. Once you contact him, you suddenly find that the Seventh Prince has quite a few cards.
The emperor is not in good health now.
Today, an official should still talk about establishing a crown prince.
The current situation is almost like nominating a prince to be the crown prince, which is like sending a prince to death, which makes the emperor disgusted.
Today, it should be the turn of the talented and virtuous Sixth Prince.
This is a big deal. In comparison, killing Huangmen Minister Jiang is just a small matter.
Just a annoying green fly.
An appetizer.
The power struggle must be the dirtiest, ugliest and most filthy. If you haven't encountered it yet, it means you haven't used your strength to the limit.
When he thought of the despairing expression on the handsome and stunning man's face, Prime Minister Lu felt happy.
It's a good appetizer.
The sedan chair was shaking and relatively warm. Prime Minister
Lu was too tired and almost fell asleep.
The sedan chair stopped and he wiped the corners of his mouth, which was a little wet. He
straightened his clothes and got off the sedan chair.
"Hello, Prime Minister Lu, hello, Lord Lu, Lu..."
Greetings came one after another. Prime
Minister Lu had arrived, so naturally the court officials didn't dare to be later than him.
Except for the emperor.
Prime Minister Lu stood at the front, looking at the long team behind him, which stretched as far as the eye could see.
This is the front, and you can still feel the warmth of the hall.
Coal is lit all around.
The low-ranking officials near the door of the hall are suffering.
The wind is strong outside, and you can't lose your manners in front of the hall. You have to stand there stupidly and be blown.
There is no place to hide.
Of course, the soldiers and servants standing outside are even more miserable.
They have to stand regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow.
Jiang Feng is a low-ranking official near the door.
A new face.
He looks a bit well-behaved and introverted. He
answers obediently when someone asks him a question.
He stands there if no one asks him a question.
He doesn't look around.
Minister Dong was standing in the front, passing by the young man.
Looking at the tall and strong young man, he secretly thought that he had good taste.
And he happened to save his daughter.
What a match made in heaven.
If it weren't for the rescue, Minister Dong would have hesitated to cancel the engagement again, as the betrothal gift would have been too hot to hold.
But seeing the lady's happiness, his teeth were about to show.
Forget it.
Either try to cover it up, or have a good talk with your in-laws.
Your in-laws are smart and must understand the rules of life in the capital.
Minister Dong, who was avoiding suspicion, did not step forward, but just nodded.
Meng Qingshe, who always liked to stand at the back, hesitated today and still shrank to the back.
It's not that he is not loyal and doesn't accompany his in-laws. He
has been too ostentatious recently and sold so many points that he seems to have not memorized them. He really
can't memorize them. Just stay at the back. What if the emperor checks him?
Stand at the back, and lean in front of Jiang Feng. Shao Xia is on duty today and went to stand guard. Jiang Feng is a newcomer and has to come to court and show his face. Meng Qingshe squeezed next to Jiang Feng. There is a feeling that last time I took my father to get familiar with the situation, and this time I take care of my son. The in-laws are really talented. Meng Qingshe returned home and was told by his mother eight hundred times. In the past, he did not look down on his in-laws because of their ordinary background, and in the future, he should not show off because of their prominent background. Treat people with sincerity, regardless of their background. Although this is the case, he was still worried that his in-laws would be bullied last time, and he wanted to protect them. Now, he should not need to worry so much. After all, he is the son of the eldest princess, at least he has someone behind him. Meng Qingshe muttered something to Jiang Feng about his experience as an official. The people around him heard:...??? Lord Meng is actually teaching others about his experience as an official here? Does Lord Meng have any misunderstanding about himself? Lord Meng's experience as an official can actually be summed up in one sentence: "My father's name is Meng Hai." Jiang Feng listened very seriously and looked like he was studying hard. The officials around him all shed tears of sympathy for this young man. But after knowing that this person is the son of Minister Jiang, they thought, "Oh, forget it, I probably won't see him tomorrow, so there's no need to sympathize." All the ministers lined up. Jiang Changtian also stood in the middle of the line. I feel very tired. I took a carriage and walked all morning, and when I got to the place, there was no chair to sit on, so I had to stand all the time. After waiting for a while, the emperor came in a dignified manner. Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he arrived at the hall, looked at the crowded crowd, and couldn't help yawning. So at this time, the emperor's travel ceremonial team is very necessary. With all kinds of covers, the emperor's yawning will not be seen by others, which would be disgraceful. Today is another day that he does not want to go to court. And he especially does not want to. He just wants to finish early and go find Huiyun. The emperor sat down on the dragon chair and kicked his legs. Jiang Changtian stood in the team and felt that the people around him looked at him with strange eyes. How to say it, that look is a bit like the look of her concubine staring at a pig. Maybe it is because of the little concubine since her mother's womb that Mianmian actually likes to eat pork. Jiang Changtian pondered his situation and thought there should be no danger. The eunuch in front shouted at the top of his voice to go to court. The ministers performed the ceremony. Then a minister submitted a memorial. Jiang Changtian saw that these people looked at him before submitting the memorial. His heart was buzzing. But we should deal with the enemy as they come, and act according to circumstances. Prime Minister Lu knew the emperor very well, and seeing the emperor's impatient look today, he was relieved, as most of the things had been done. No matter what other people were planning, if the emperor was not interested, it would eventually be transferred to his hands, and if he was in charge, he would be at his mercy. The Yushi in the Yushi Pavilion all jumped out, with reports to make. He Yushi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was really capable. There were traitors in his Yushi department. They were doing this behind his back. He had been a bit lazy recently, and he didn't give everyone a break, so everyone seemed to have forgotten about him. For the court officials, something big happened today. For the emperor, a group of employees were going to make trouble again, which was very annoying. He glanced at the memorials, one, two, three... seven, impeaching Huangmen Minister Jiang. They said he had ulterior motives, was greedy by nature, was disloyal, unjust, unfilial, and a villain, unworthy of being an official, and should be demoted to a commoner, exiled to Haibei, and never employed again. There were several other memorials with roughly the same content, and the dispute was about how to punish him. Some said exile, some said death penalty, to serve as a warning to others. ... The emperor rubbed his forehead. His head hurt a little. He knew most of the above, by coincidence. Corruption, Jiang Er gave him all his money, were they scolding Jiang Er? No, they were scolding him, the emperor. As for receiving birthday gifts, it is a matter of willingness. If you don't want to give, then don't give. This is a crime, which is a bit far-fetched. At most, it can be said that the person has flaws in character. If this is the case, all the officials in the court will not be able to withstand investigation. The second is rebellion. Jiang Er has a rebellious heart. The emperor does not comment on this. He knows that Jiang Er adopted Zilu's son. Third, he tolerated the children in his family to bully boys and girls. The child is talking about Jiang Er's youngest daughter, right? There are witnesses. It's funny. The emperor just happened to hear about this from Prince Han. It's obvious that he was molesting someone, but he was deceived by a child, and he still had the nerve to complain. The fourth is unfilial and unfraternal. This is a family matter. I heard that Madam Jiang is extremely mean. The eldest son was forced to become a monk directly, and the younger son did not recognize her. These parents are not right, and they are not right.
Fifth, colluding with court officials, Jiang Er said that he would get his son an official position in the marriage of his children. Hooking up with He Yushi? How could he hook up with He Yushi, who was so stubborn? That was pretty impressive.
Sixth, disrespecting the royal family and beating up the Crown Prince Han. The emperor thought that it was probably because the Crown Prince Han had robbed someone's sister-in-law and didn't allow him to stand out...
Seventh...
He could actually refute all of these. It
's just that Jiang Er had only been an official for a short time, and so many people disliked him.
The emperor was a little impatient.
He threw the memorial in front of Jiang Er and said, "Take a look, what do you say?"
Jiang Changtian picked up the memorial, glanced at it, and read the content. Prime Minister
Lu stood calmly.
Judging from the emperor's mood, he has stabilized now. However, today's matter regarding the Sixth Prince can only be forgotten. Next time, it would be good to be able to handle one thing.
The emperor will most likely hand this matter over to him.
No matter how Jiang Er argues, he has a way to kill him.
However, after reading the memorial, Jiang Er did not argue, but looked incredible, and then showed a look of dejection and heartbreak.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. I plead guilty."
Jiang Er did not even resist, but directly pleaded guilty.
This made all the tricks that Prime Minister Lu had expected useless. Just like this?
This? I thought it was a good dog, but I didn't expect it to be just a paper tiger.
The emperor looked at Jiang Er's expression. If it were normal times, he would still be in the mood to comfort him, but he didn't sleep well last night and was impatient. He wanted to find Huiyun as soon as possible. He said, "Prime Minister Lu, you will be in charge of this matter. Jiang Er will be detained in the Ministry of Justice first, and you will be in charge of the trial. If there is nothing else, you can leave the court."
