Chapter 1214: Queen Mother: Wife, you must listen to me now! No room for negotiation
The officials ignored all etiquette and hurried to the corridor.
But he saw Sun Shang Gong, Acharya and others all entered the imperial study, and they looked at each other.
Finally, his gaze fell on Li Jiulang and others who were lying on the ground.
There is no morning court today, nor even a small court meeting. According to convention, those who should rest should rest, and those who should be on duty in the hall should just do their work well.
But he didn't expect the emperor to summon him urgently.
After entering the palace, I found out everything that happened.
Everyone who heard this would be terrified, especially when, under the sun when everyone was talking about the coming of a prosperous era, there was actually a traitor who dared to hunt down the prefect of a city!
Some people even collect weapons and armor like this.
Naturally, the first people to be punished for these things were Li Jiulang and the Ministry of Revenue, who were in charge of the chambers of commerce, the Ministry of Personnel, which was responsible for selecting officials, and the Ministry of War, which was responsible for selling weapons and armor to other places.
But when these things happened, the emperor was quite angry!
After saying, "Think carefully here, this is a prosperous age?", he turned and went into the imperial study.
But everyone knows.
Someone is going to die.
Because His Majesty is really angry this time.
only
If Your Majesty gets into trouble due to anger at this time, what will happen to Daxia?
"Prince An."
At this moment, Prince An strode towards the imperial study.
Seeing this, all the officials gave way.
But just as Prince An was about to approach, Su Changan walked out.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately saluted the Queen Mother, then bowed and looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan said, "Everyone, His Majesty is not feeling well, so please leave first. But no matter what happened in Jiangling, or the sale of weapons in Quyang and Luzhou, there must be an explanation."
When everyone heard that His Majesty was unwell, everyone was stunned.
Prince An immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"
Su Changan shook his head and said, "Uncle Eleven, listen to me."
Prince An nodded immediately.
Some other ministers also suppressed their impulse and looked at the Queen anxiously.
Su Changan said in a loud voice: "Yang Shanchang, Su Wenqing, Gao Rou, Wei Xuancheng, Yan Ci, Mu Xu, Li Jiulang."
Seven old officials stood up and bowed.
Su Changan said, "Although I can give orders directly, I still need you to discuss countermeasures for these matters. Then, we will implement today how to do it, who to kill, who to control, and who to investigate. So I have to trouble you. But fifteen ships of food have been wasted, which is a big deal."
After that, Su Changan added: "Your Majesty is not in a position to handle these matters now, so I'll trouble you all."
As he spoke, Su Changan glanced at the two Hu people, and then continued: "Xu Lezhi and these two Hu people have made great contributions."
Su Changan saw that the male Hu man started to bow to him strangely again, and his lips moved, obviously reciting scriptures, he was not dead yet!
But I couldn't understand or explain it, so I didn't bother to care about him.
But when the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, and finally all looked at Su Changan.
Prince An immediately spoke up: "My Lady, how is His Majesty now?"
Su Changan said: "I don't know now, but let her not deal with these for the time being."
This was true. Maybe it was because of his emotional fluctuations, but Xia Fengxiang did feel some pain in his abdomen.
Although according to Xia Fengxiang it was not a problem and was a normal phenomenon, how could Su Changan not take it seriously?
When the civil and military officials heard this, they all frowned.
Su Changan continued, "Everyone, the weather is very hot, please go back. If you have anything to say, you can write a memorial and send it in. His Majesty will read it."
After saying that, Su Changan didn't say much, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the imperial study.
Prince An, Mu Xu and others wanted to go forward but were stopped by Li Xizhi and Acharya.
"What should I do?"
An official looked around and clapped his hands while speaking.
"What should we do?" Yang Shanchang asked, "Didn't the queen give the order? Disperse!"
Everyone looked at Yang Shanchang.
At this time, Su Wenqing also said: "Today's incident is definitely not about embezzling grain and smuggling weapons, there is another matter. Don't take a detour and get involved. When you go back, tell the officials of each department!"
After saying that, Su Wenqing looked at the people kneeling there and said, "Send them all to the Dali Temple Prison! As you wish!"
Dali Temple Minister Dugu Ruyuan looked at Su Wenqing and said, "Grand Master."
Su Wenqing said: "Personally examine!"
Dugu bowed as he wished.
Then Su Wenqing looked at the people he had just named and said, "Everyone, you have heard the Queen's order. Are you going to the Shangshu Province?"
Yang Shanchang and others nodded.
"Teacher." Wei Jiu, Mao Xiaoxian and others came to Su Wenqing.
Su Wenqing looked unhappy: "The people you used were too low-ranking. You just hired them without His Majesty's approval!? Even if you are not to blame, you still have to be punished! You caused such a big incident, but you didn't even realize that something was wrong in your own department! The officials are getting more comfortable than the others."
Mao Xiaoxian and others bowed respectfully and dared not refute.
Su Wenqing scolded: "Go back and check it out! You are high-ranking officials, and we old guys can't say anything, but remember, if something really happens to the emperor, even you guys can't expect to be safe and sound! How many officials died in the capital, how many people were arrested, you have a way in your mind!"
After saying that, Su Wenqing left with a gloomy face. Yang Shanchang, Mu Xu and others beside him didn't say much and left with Su Wenqing.
Mao Xiaoxian and other officials involved in these matters bowed in greeting.
Nothing to say.
But everyone was looking at the backs of Su Wenqing and others. They were all old foxes and could naturally hear that the Grand Tutor's words were not just for Mao Xiaoxian and others, but for everyone.
"Your Majesty must know exactly what happened." Gao Rou looked at Su Wenqing and spoke.
Su Wenqing said, "The Queen has never been this anxious before, can't you see?"
Gao Rou and others had solemn expressions.
Mu Xu said, "Your Majesty shouldn't be so angry that you feel sick because of these few things, but the queen mentioned fifteen ships of grain, so she must be angry about this."
He said sternly, "That's fifteen ships. And there are even more rumors about the queen in the market. Even though your majesty is not even thirty yet, those bastards have set their sights on the descendants of Prince An and Prince Chu. Now some people say that the queen is a jealous woman!?"
Wei Xuancheng said: "Everything involves Yizhou, so could this rumor also be spread by someone planted by the King of Shu? After all, only by making people panic can he achieve his goal."
Yang Shanchang said slowly, "Your Majesty is upset about the fifteen ships. It's someone else's malicious words about the Queen, but it's definitely not about Yizhou. However, it's time to investigate thoroughly. Please ask the thirteen guards to take action. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have been investigating for so long and have not found anything. Your Majesty and the Queen don't care, but the words are getting more and more excessive. Since they dare to say it, it's a capital crime. We have to arrest a few of them."
Yan Ci still disliked Yang Shanchang, but as they were officials in the same dynasty, he could do nothing about it.
On the contrary, Wei Xuancheng had a changed opinion of Yang Shanchang. He looked at Yang Shanchang and said, "Let's discuss the matter of Jiangling and Quyang first. This matter is urgent. Gu Gangmin is decisive and resolute. He must have already started to do what should be done, but a written document is also needed to make it reasonable. After the discussion, I will go to the Left and Right Thirteen Guards' Mansion."
Su Wenqing said, "I have selfish motives in this matter. I will make the final decision after the rumormongers are found out."
This statement leaves absolutely no room for negotiation and is like a notification.
But everyone also knew that Su Wenqing would do this when it came to the Empress.
Su Wenqing continued, "We don't need to speculate about your majesty's health. We have to wait for Zhang Wenjing and Mo Jingchun to diagnose your pulse. Then we will go and find out. In addition to deciding the Jiangling grain bill and the Quyang smuggling case, the most important thing is to collect grain and transport it to Yandi and Liaozhou. Don't delay the first autumn harvest. If it's any later, I'm afraid it will be too late for the first harvest."
After saying that, Su Wenqing looked at Li Jiulang and said, "Jiulang, you send someone to Luzhou first and ask the fire fighters to go to Jiangling. If the Jianghu people don't follow the rules and kill Daxia officials, then let Gu Gangmin kill all the unruly people."
Li Jiulang bowed immediately.
No one spoke.
Su Wenqing does not have the final say.
But everyone agrees.
Mu Xu finally spoke up: "As Wenqing said, the queen has never shown such an anxious look. How is your majesty?"
As he spoke, Mu Xu turned around and looked towards the main hall.
Officials had already left the hall one after another.
Everyone frowned when they looked back.
Even if I am worried about you, there is nothing I can do to stop them from seeing it.
But at this time, everyone saw that the queen in red appeared at the entrance of the hall, and she was holding the emperor.
The distance is not far.
But everyone could see clearly that His Majesty not only frowned, but also grabbed the Queen's collar.
It seems like he is suffering from some pain.
…
In Su Changan's arms, Xia Fengxiang frowned and looked at Su Changan: "Su Changan, what are you doing? I just feel a little pain. I just need to wait for Mr. Zhang and the others in the imperial study."
Su Changan lowered his head and said, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Lingqi Pavilion is more comfortable. And you said it hurts a little. Is it a small matter?"
Xia Fengxiang grabbed Su Changan's collar tightly, wanting to say that he was making a fuss out of nothing!
And it was the first time that he ran out and made the decision without allowing himself to have a say.
although
It was the rarely seen domineering Su Changan.
But can this matter be overbearing?
She has a lot of things to deal with.
and
Xia Fengxiang glanced at the expressions of the officials. Although it was only a flash before Su Changan took her far away, she could see clearly that the expressions of those people showed that she had no idea what they were thinking.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "What are we going to make them misunderstand again?"
Su Changan looked down at Xia Fengxiang: "Wife."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "What's wrong?"
Su Changan said: "Don't talk, hold me tight, you must listen to me now! No room for negotiation!"
