The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 89

The guard pressing Shen Lian paused, and fell into a brief silence in the hall, and then there was an uproar in the court.

The Taishan earthquake is a major event in the country. It is too bold to use Taishan, which symbolizes the prince, to deceive the emperor.

“The emperor, Shen Lian is almost bloody, how dare the ministers say anything about Mount Tai?” Chen Shichang knelt on the ground and said loudly.

“Chen Shichang, you didn’t say that at the beginning,” Shen Lian had torn his face anyway, and Shen Lian went out, struggling to throw away the guards, walked a few steps on his knees, and said with tears. The right-hand man came to the door and asked me to demolish the ancestral hall and build another ancestral hall. The servant and maid never thought he was going to kill the prince!”

Shen Lian went from a small **** to a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His speaking skills could be described as the pinnacle. In a few sentences, he described his guilt as a momentary confusion, and the focus shifted to the murder of the prince.

“You are really very anxious. In order to win the reserve, he even dared to tell lies such as the Taishan earthquake.” Yang Youting bluntly pointed out the words directly.

“The emperor, the Taishan earthquake was reported by Ludi, and the minister just played it according to the facts.” Chen Shichang didn’t move his face, but his palms were already covered with cold sweat.

Tore his face with Shen Lian, he expected that Shen Lian would take a bite back. He had already finished the draft of all the rhetoric, but he was not sure about this matter, and he was very worried.

“The emperor, Taishan’s matter is just catching the wind and catching the shadows. The most urgent matter is that Shen Lian inspires local officials to build the Shrine for Health. The evidence is solid. The minister thinks that he should try the Shrine for Shrine first.” Shangshu of the Criminal Department came out and said at the right time.

Sun Liang, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, didn’t say a word from beginning to end. His position had nothing to do with these things, but just stared at everything in front of him coldly. Recalling the time when Youxiang and Eunuch Shen joined forces to kill Wang Jian, it was also such a noisy court. No matter how many struggles Qingliu faction did, they couldn’t reach Shen Lian’s quick movements, killing people to death overnight. The governor of Jinzhou and the officials of the Northwestern Salt Administration were replaced by right-hand officials, while Wang Jian, who was devoted to the people, died unjustly in the imprisonment.

Shen Lian was finally thrown into jail, and Emperor Chunde couldn’t tolerate the life of the temple in any case. It was only about Mount Tai and he was sent to investigate.

Lingnan has good scenery, with overlapping green hills and different shapes. Unlike the lofty mountains in the north, these small mountains are like mud puppets kneaded by the gods. Sometimes they become galloping horses, sometimes sleepy reclining Buddhas, and sometimes they are hollowed out by the Qingxi creek.

Xiao Chengjun, who had never been to Lingnan, found it very novel, and the scenery along the way was dizzying.

Lou Jing had only been here as a child, and I can’t remember it. Now it’s fun to watch. Don’t slow down, stop and go. Whenever you encounter a place with a particularly good view, stop and play.

Xu Che went back in no hurry, let them play around, and walked for a full ten days before reaching the city of Li where Pingjiang Hou Mansion was located.

“Chen Xu Zheng, I have seen His Royal Highness of the King of Min.” Uncle Xu Zheng, with a voice like a Hongzhong, with a majesty that cannot be ignored, when he saw Xiao Chengjun, he walked up to the floor to salute.

The third and fourth uncles who came after hearing the news also saluted. The Xu family are more mighty, and several military commanders with sturdy backs and waists salute together, and the momentum is really unusual. Xiao Chengjun understood a little bit why Lou saw that Yu didn’t like his wife’s natal family. If only these older brother-in-laws stopped at the Anguo government mansion, it is estimated that Lou Jing’s father would not even dare to say a whole sentence.

“The Xu family is full of tigers, it’s really not as well known as meeting.” Xiao Chengjun raised his hand and asked everyone to get up and smile slightly.

“His Royal Highness praised,” Ping Jiang Hou Xu Zheng laughed. “A few brothers who are not good enough know how to dance with spears and sticks, and they look strong.”

The military commander spoke without so many twists and turns. Ping Jianghou sent his second brother to Minzhou to show the Xu family’s position. Therefore, Xu Zheng was very happy for Xiao Chengjun’s arrival.

The Xu family was Ding Xingwang, and Lou Jing’s cousins ​​had five or six, but because Xiao Chengjun was sensitive and worried about the crowd, he didn’t let other people come over to see him.

“Yesterday, there was an decree from the DPRK.” After the greeting, Ping Jianghou talked about the business, his expression was a little solemn, “The Lingnan army is required to guard against the Nanbarians. No matter who is dispatched, no one can leave Lingnan.”

Lou Jing and his husband looked at each other, frowned and said, “Uncle, who wrote this will.”

The fourth uncle is accustomed to not listening to this, and after a while, he can’t sit still, and goes out to tease his new tits.

The third uncle was not lukewarm towards Xiao Chengjun. To be precise, he did not welcome the Royal Highness of the King of Fujian very much. Seeing that his eldest brother was about to lift his family out without saying a few words, he frowned in disapproval, “Big brother, little Since they traveled a long distance, the prince should be invited to rest first, so why not talk about these business matters later.”

The second uncle Xu Che glanced at his younger brother and said coldly: “The major events in the Central Government are changing rapidly. It will not be too late to rest after talking.”

The third uncle was not very happy, and turned around and went out, took out the jade rod from Lou Jing from his waist, and sat down on the corridor to smoke dry cigarettes sullenly. They were very angry about Lou Jing being forced to marry in the East Palace. Now they finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and rushed to post it again. San Jiu didn’t understand this matter very much, and even had no affection for the Royal Highness of the King of Fujian. In his opinion, Xiao Chengjun was just looking at the Lou family and the Xu family’s power. Once ascended to the top position, waiting for his nephew to kill the donkey.

Regardless of the unsuccessful Fourth Uncle and the self-defeating Third Uncle, the remaining four people in the house are all dignified.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Lingnan can’t receive the will several times a year. Suddenly, such a secret decree that makes him stand still can only show that there is a big move in the court.

“This is written by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.” Xiao Chengjun read the secret decree carefully, and he could tell at a glance that he had criticized memorials all the year round. This was the handwriting of a Chinese scholar who often transcribed documents for Youxiang.

“What does Chen Shichang mean?” The second uncle didn’t quite understand.

Lou Jing got up, stared at the topographical map of the southwestern area hanging on the wall of the study, and watched carefully, “Lingnan military movement can contain the three places of Shu, Jiangzhou, and Minzhou.”

Ping Jianghou suddenly raised his head, “You said yes, there will be mutiny in Shudi or Jiangzhou?”

The situation in North Korea and China is already very serious.

This is indeed the case.

On the night of Shen Lian’s imprisonment, all the evidence of the crimes of the right minister Chen Shichang was sent to the house of the left minister Yang Youting.

Since he was about to break the net, Shen Lian had made preparations long ago. He was arrested and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still there. In these years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was responsible for investigating officials and torture to extract confessions.

The jealous Taifu Yang happily didn’t close his eyes all night, and went to discuss with his protégé and aides overnight.

At the same time, because of the active cooperation of the Jinju soldiers, the imperial commissioner quickly “discovered” the true cause of death of the four princes. It was the Jinzhou governor who colluded with General Tanzi and deliberately laid a trap to lure Xiao Chengzheng into the bait, and used a trick to catch turtles and shoot them to death. After following the vines to investigate, the imperial commissioner discovered an astonishing truth. This Jinzhou governor had colluded with Taroko as early as three years ago when he took office, and delivered food and grass to Tarzi as a rule every year!

The governor of Jinju was elected by the right, and even the death of Wang Jian, the former governor, was revealed, and the spear was directed at the right minister, Chen Shichang.

Chen Shichang was so frustrated that he never expected that the imperial envoy sent to Jinzhou would find out so quickly and thoroughly investigated, “The emperor, the ministers are not strictly governed, and he is willing to be punished.”

“The righteous thinks that one who is not strictly governed can be fooled?” Yang Youting went out at the right time and took out a memorial, listing in detail Chen Shichang’s various evil deeds over the years.

Immediately afterwards, the memorials of impeaching the right phase filled the Imperial Study Room like snowflakes.

The news came to an abrupt end.

The news in Xiao Chengjun’s hands has never been broken, and it seems that everything is moving in the direction he calculated, but the secret decree that Lingnan received made him have to be cautious.

Since the Chen family coveted the position of the crown prince, they would definitely not do anything unprepared. With Chen Shichang’s shrewdness, as early as when they were on the bar with Shen, they must have reserved a later move, and this secret decree to be sent out of the capital in advance is His last move!

“Luoyu, what is the current strength of Jiangzhou?” Xiao Chengjun turned to look at Lou Jing.

Lou Jing licked his lips, “Jiangzhou’s troops can be captured at any time.” You know, Yun San is still squatting outside Lu Xin’s governor’s mansion, waiting for a stab to end him.

Xiao Chengjun nodded and looked at Pingjiang Hou, “If Master Hou doesn’t dislike him, can you let me call you uncle?”

This time not only the two uncles, but also Lou Jing was stunned.

Originally they were the prince and the prince, and it is understandable to call the uncle. Now, at this time, they are nameless and have no part, but they say such things, which is about Xiao Chengjun vows to win the throne and to marry Lou Jing as his wife. It’s coming.

“The prince is like this, but he is a weak minister.” Xu Zheng quickly got up.

“Since the emergency, this king no longer said those polite remarks. The Xu family has now been involved. If the uncle can trust me, he will send someone to stare at the Shu army. Once there is an abnormal movement in the Shu area, he will immediately send troops to intercept them. “Xiao Chengjun’s voice is steady and powerful, and his dark eyes are deep and quiet, as if the world is under control.

Without making more stops in Lingnan, the husband and wife hurriedly returned to Minzhou.

Going slowly and returning in a hurry, Lou Jing left his uncle’s house before he could even hear a few of his aunts talk.

“I’ll settle down later, I’ll accompany you again.” Xiao Chengjun touched his head apologetically.

“Okay, let’s hold a bamboo raft on the Li River, just the two of us…” Lou Jing bit his ear with a smirk.

Xiao Chengjun coughed dryly, “Hurry up.”

I always felt that something was wrong. Xiao Chengjun asked the Xu family to look at the army in the Shu area, just in case, and at the same time sent a message to the provincial governor of Yuezhou to make Grandpa Mu be careful.

Sure enough, on the day when Xiao Chengjun returned to the Royal Mansion of Min Dynasty, there was an astonishing news from the central government that Emperor Chunde fell ill!
