On the surface, Jian Shuo nodded and bowed, saying that he knew his mistake and repented, but in his heart he held a grudge.
Today's Zhang Rang can no longer take action against Jian Shuo. First, the emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Second, in the hands of the current eunuchs, there is only Jian Shuo, a team that can command.
If Jian Shuo is abolished, they will not even have a decent army in the future.
In the past, they called the wind and the rain, relying on the favor of the emperor.
But what if the emperor falls?
Zhang Rang hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, but now, he had to think about it.
The next day, outside Qiquan Palace, courtiers knelt on the ground.
"Oh, my lords, don't be so stubborn. His Majesty won't see you, so go back." The old eunuch, who was still furious last night, now changed into his usual kind smile.
"Your Majesty won't see us, and the veteran will kneel until His Majesty is willing to see you." The number one minister who led all the officials here was Taiwei Cui Lie, who was instigated by Cui Xu.
A few days ago, Situ Xu Xiang, who was confronting the emperor tit for tat in the court, had been dismissed from office and demoted to a common man.
Cui Lie knew what would happen if he offended the emperor, but he still came.What my nephew Cui Xu said was right, if he, as the third prince, dared not speak out, then who else in the court would dare to speak out?Then you can only watch the people in the city, their families ruined and their families destroyed.
So he came, even if he was dismissed from the position of Taiwei, he would persuade the emperor to stop this inhuman killing.
However, the emperor seemed to have anticipated today's situation a long time ago, and he let out his words early. In recent days, no one has been seen.
When the officials kneel down, it lasts four hours.
From early morning to kneeling until dusk.
Many elderly officials fainted one after another due to lack of physical strength, and were carried to the Taiyi Hall for treatment and rest.
Even so, the emperor still had no intention of seeing them.
"Prince Minister, I trouble you to be more accommodating." Cao Song, who was the chief minister at the time, pulled Zhang Rang to a corner and handed him a round white jade bead.
He is the adopted son of the former Chief Qiu Caojie, and he has some relationship with the eunuch.
At that time, his son Cao Cao was young and vigorous, relying on the courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, he had a conflict with Shi Changshi, and it was Cao Song who settled the matter with money.
When Cao Song was an official, he was not like other people. He didn't want to gain fame and prestige. He was an official for two words: earning money.
Relying on his position in the ruling and opposition parties, Cao Song used his power to guide him.Soon, the Cao family became a tycoon on the wealthy side.
He didn't want to come to this muddy water today, but he had to.Ding's daughter-in-law is already nine months pregnant, and will give birth in about twenty days.
According to the physiognomy, his grandson was destined to be a great man in the future.
When Cao Song learned about it, he was naturally very happy. He even asked someone to choose a name, called Cao Pi.
However, at this juncture, the emperor actually began to massacre pregnant women in the north of the city.Although Cao's mansion lives in the south of the city, who knows if the emperor will turn his attention to the south of the city after finishing the north of the city.
Cao Song was both happy and sad.
Happily, the grandson is about to die, and the rise of the Cao family may be in the generation of the grandson.But he was very worried, wondering if the emperor would let his grandson come to this world safely.
So when Cao Song learned that Cui Lie organized hundreds of officials to speak up to prevent the emperor from killing again, he joined in without hesitation.
Zhang Rang took out the bead and glanced at it. The greed revealed in his eyes was obviously quite satisfactory. Even if he spent millions of dollars, he might not be able to buy this kind of round Western Region Bailong bead.
"Since Da Si Nong is interested, our family will go there for you. You wait here, we can't guarantee whether it will work or not." Zhang Rang said the ugly words first.
"In that case, there will be Lao Dachang serving." Cao Song replied with a bow.
Qiquan Palace was originally a place where the emperor recuperated and rested.But in recent days, the emperor almost always reviewed the memorials here, and never summoned his concubines to favor him. Even Empress He, who was most loved by the emperor, was refused to leave the palace several times.
Zhang Rang pushed open the door and entered. Liu Hong picked up a pen and was circling a topographic map of Sili. When he saw Zhang Rang coming in, he asked him without raising his head: "Those old ministers left?"
The forty-ninth chapter is chaotic but my country
"Not yet, Your Majesty, all your lords seem to be determined. They are all kneeling outside the hall, and several of them have passed out." Zhang Rang walked up to the emperor, lowered his voice, and answered cautiously.
"Hmph, a group of old men dare to come and threaten me! They like to kneel, let them kneel, it's best to kneel to death!" The emperor broke the pen in his hand with a 'snap', his face full of sullenness and anger steaming.
As the saying goes, "eat people's mouths are soft, and people's hands are short", since he has accepted Cao Song's benefits, Zhang Rang naturally wants to help him speak, he glanced at the young emperor who was in a bad mood, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, old slave I think it’s not a good idea to waste it like this, and if it spreads out, it will damage His Majesty’s prestige. It’s better to invite those courtiers outside the palace to reprimand them, so that they will give up their minds.”
The Son of Heaven pondered for a while, and although his face was still gloomy, he responded: "Father is right. I am upset to see them kneeling outside the hall like this. Just like what Father said, let them come in!"
Zhang Rang bowed to his orders, went outside the hall, looked at the old ministers kneeling with twitching legs, smiled in his heart, but said kindly on his face: "All ministers, Your Majesty has a decree that Xuan Er will enter the hall." .”
Hearing this, the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Song glanced at Zhang Rang expressing his gratitude, and the latter also gave him a slight nod.What Zhang Rang can do has already been done. As for whether things can be done, it all depends on the good luck of Cao Song and others.
Several middle-aged courtiers at the back got up first, stepped forward to support Cui Lie from left to right.This old captain is also over half a century old. After kneeling for so long, his bones should be reaching the limit.
A group of people dragged their extremely tired bodies into the main hall, saw the emperor sitting high in the center, endured the pain all over his body, bowed again and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty will see you, Your Majesty will be forever."
Liu Hong glanced at these people and waved his hands: "Excuse me."
After the officials straightened up, Taiwei Cui Lie came out first, arched the wat board with his hands together, and said aloud: "Your Majesty, I have something to do..."
Before Cui Lie could finish speaking, the Son of Heaven interrupted him directly: "If it's about matters in the north of the city, there's no need to speak up. I'm too lazy to listen, and I don't want to listen."
The emperor's firm tone and attitude undoubtedly sealed everyone's original thoughts in their throats.
"Even if His Majesty doesn't want to hear it, I still have to say it!"
When Cui Lie came, he had already made up his mind that even if he was dismissed from office, or even sent to prison for interrogation, he would speak out everything in his heart.
"Since the founding of my country, the virtuous kings of all dynasties have ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, subdued people with courtesy and law, and never killed innocent women..."
"Taiwei, according to what you mean, I should be a fool, right?" Cui Lie made an impassioned statement there, Liu Hong was furious when he heard it, and asked those who hadn't said anything with a smile instead of anger Courtier: "And you, do you also think that Zhen is no different from Jie and Zhou, and you are the Guan Longfeng who desperately remonstrates, or the heart-wrenching Liang Bigan?"
The emperor's sarcastic tone, of course, the officials could tell that it was deliberately used to satirize them.If ordinary civilians say this, they will probably be dragged down to question their crimes, but the person who said this is the current emperor, no matter how uncomfortable they feel, they can only suppress it, and they all bowed and bowed their heads and replied: "Your Majesty, don't wait!" dare."
"Don't you dare?"
Liu Hong laughed dryly, disregarding the majesty of the emperor, and pointed his right finger at the officials, the anger in his voice seemed to explode at any time: "Why don't you dare? Kneeling in rows outside the hall, almost Just call me by name, and get out. I see you, you are so majestic! In your eyes, I still have the emperor!"
Liu Hong pointed at the hands of the officials and slammed them on the table. A loud bang resounded throughout the hall.
When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
Shocked by the emperor's aura, the officials knelt on the ground plopping as if admitting their mistakes, buried their heads on the backs of their hands lying on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I will wait for death."
The ministers shouted sincerely, but Liu Hong had long been used to their attitude.No matter how big the fire was, it was impossible to order them all to be dragged down and chopped down.
Liu Hong didn't let them get up this time, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he slashed across everyone's body, and his tone was as cold as the bones: "You beg me to let those women go, and want to be ministers and admonishers. But you are messed up. , but it is my country!"
