The Jagged Empire of Daqin

This matter is not a trivial matter, you have to discuss it with the ministers before making a decision!

"Obey!" Pei Ji hastily bent down and responded!

Soon, Pei Ji sent several military guards of Xianyang Palace to various yamen, notifying officials from the sixth rank and above to enter the palace for a temporary court meeting.

"Your Majesty has an order to announce that all officials will enter the palace to discuss matters!"

Chapter 632 Disappointed Ying Chang!

"What?"

"Discussion? Today is not the day to go to court!"

"Idiot, this is a temporary court meeting, everyone, hurry back to your residence and change into court clothes, don't delay the court meeting!"

"As ordered!"

"What is the reason for the interim court meeting?"

"Could it be that the front line was defeated?"

"impossible!"

"Or, there was a problem with the imperial court's food aid halfway?"

"Guess so!"

When the officials heard the news of entering the palace to discuss matters, they immediately felt very puzzled. They did not understand why the temporary court meeting was held. Therefore, on the way to the palace, the officials kept speculating and discussing the matter. After some discussion, many ministers He attributed the reason to the court's food aid, thinking that Xu Pin had an accident on the way, which caused His Majesty to hold a temporary court meeting to remedy the matter!

Three quarters before the end of time, Qilin Hall!

In the Qilin Hall, all the ministers were dressed in different imperial uniforms, standing meticulously in the ranks of officials on the left, while the ranks of military officers on the right were still empty, and the black dragon throne on the high platform was also empty, Ying Chang hadn’t taken his seat yet!

"Master Yang, tell me, why did His Majesty announce that we will hold a temporary court meeting?"

"How does this officer know?"

"Master Jia, do you know?"

"I don't know!"

"Why don't you guess?"

"Not interested in!"

"Uh..."

"My lords, in my opinion, it must be one of the three things that your majesty announced that we and others will hold a temporary court meeting!"

"Oh?"

"Dare to ask those three things?"

"The first one is that the Zhao army counterattacked our army, causing heavy casualties and causing the front line to stagnate. The second one is that the front line is short of rations, and our army's rations are running out, and we are in urgent need of imperial rations. The third one is that the imperial rations are on the way. There was an accident, which prevented the frontline army and even millions of Jin people from getting supplies!"

"The possibility of the first one is very small. After all, in this expedition to Jin, our Great Qin dispatched King Wu, Shangyang Hou, General Polu, General Zhenbei, General Ningyuan, and General Gu Yuan. My Great Qin Elite Master, even if Zhao Jun is dying to fight back, my Great Qin Elite King Master can tear him into pieces!"

"The second possibility is very high. Although our army had already mobilized a large amount of food and grass before the attack, the army did not bring much food after entering Jin Dynasty. I have heard that every time our Qin army captured a city, it would Take out part of the army food to help the people in the city!"

"The possibility of the third one is also very high. This time the food security officer is Xu Pin. Xu Pin is indeed talented and can be described as a high-ranking person. But food security is not about reading and writing. It needs experience. A fledgling boy, It is inevitable that there will be some accidents on the road, small accidents are fine, but if there is a big accident, hehe, the gods can't save them!"

"If you say that, I feel that the possibility of the third incident is very high!"

"I think so too!"

"It's impossible for the first thing to happen. I don't believe that King Wu will lose, and it's impossible for the second thing to happen. Our generals are not fools. How could they not save some points for themselves? As for the third thing The nature of the incident is really quite big!"

"Master Li's analysis is really enlightening!"

"At the beginning, the official opposed Xu Pin's appointment as the food security officer with all his strength, but someone fully supported him. Otherwise, this matter would not have happened!"

"This man is going to cause disaster!"

"If the officer's memory is correct, this person has issued a military order!"

"It's better to have him now!"

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in the dragon chair, all the officials are talking about it, forming a wave of public opinion oppression, and the person who bears the oppression of public opinion is naturally Zhang Feizi. Now, nine out of ten ministers are looking at Zhang Feizi, who is in the head of the official, with unkind eyes. The reason, of course, is to blame Zhang Feizi for supporting Xu Pin as the food security officer.

Standing in the middle of the official queue, Zhang Ling couldn't help showing worry on his face when he heard the comments from all the officials, and couldn't help turning his head to Zhang Gui who was next to him and asked, "Second brother, is it true that Xu Pin handles things?" Is it smashed?"

Zhang Gui, who was frowning, shook his head and said nothing, expressing that he didn't know.

Zhang Feizi, who was in the center of public opinion, looked flat, as if he was not oppressed by public opinion, but in fact, Zhang Feizi was extremely nervous inside. After all, he was not a god, so it was impossible for him to judge a person so accurately, and it was inevitable that he would misread a person, such as At the beginning, I misunderstood Yan Liu, thinking that he was the Holy Lord Mingjun.

Ducha Censor Chang Qing listened to the discussion of all the officials, and couldn't help frowning, and immediately yelled at the officials: "Above the court, what kind of noise is there for you, and where do you put the court rules and regulations?"

After some scolding, all the ministers shut their mouths one after another, and the whole hall fell silent instantly!

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, a powerful voice came from outside the hall. When all the officials heard it, they couldn't help but straighten their backs in awe, filling the hall with a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

step..step..

There were bursts of powerful footsteps, and each footstep seemed to condense into substance, slapping Baiguan's chest heavily, making Baiguan feel a strong sense of oppression.

I saw Ying Chang walked into the hall from the outside of the hall with windy steps, and then walked up the high platform from the hall. This time, it may be because of the temporary meeting, Ying Chang did not enter the main hall of Qilin from the back hall, and chose to go with Like the ministers, they walked into the main hall from outside the main hall.

Accompanying Ying Chang is Pei Ji, Chief of the Military Guard of Xianyang Palace!

When Ying Chang stepped onto the high platform and stood beside the dragon chair, all the officials knelt down on the ground, bowed and shouted loudly: "I wait to pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Ying Chang had no expression on his face, and sat on the dragon chair unhurriedly, looked around the officials with a regular gaze, and said, "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officials thanked in unison, then got up from the ground one after another, adjusted their clothes slightly, and looked straight ahead with a solemn expression.

"Before I came here, I heard the comments from all your love ministers. Some love ministers said that it was because of the failure of the front line. Some ministers said that it was because of the lack of military food at the front line. I don't want to go around in circles with all your lovers, and today I called you all into the palace to discuss matters related to the Zhao Empire!" Ying Chang said calmly, looking at the officials.

After the words fell, many ministers' eyes flashed with disappointment, and many ministers felt relieved, especially Zhang Feizi, who felt a lot more relaxed. He was afraid that there was something wrong with Xu Pin, and those eyes flashed with disappointment All the ministers are seen by Ying Chang and remembered in his heart!

In fact, he had already been to the Qilin Hall, and he just listened to the endless discussions of the officials, so he wanted to hear what the officials were talking about. Generally speaking, Ying Chang was disappointed with some ministers!

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a full reservation, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you can support me a lot!"

Chapter 633 This battle is over!

In Ying Chang's heart, party struggles belong to party struggles, and the interests of the empire belong to the interests of the empire. If you ignore or damage the interests of the empire because of party struggles, it is absolutely unbearable, and those ministers whose eyes flashed disappointed have already ignored the interests of the empire because of party struggles!

for what?Because they were disappointed, they were disappointed because it wasn't Xu Pin who had a problem. Could it be that they were happy only if Xu Pin had a problem?You must know that if there is a problem with the product, the frontline army will face a situation of running out of supplies, and the interests of the empire will be damaged!

It is precisely because of this that Ying Chang has to keep those disappointed ministers in mind and keep them firmly in mind!

Chang Zifei stepped forward and took a small step, bent over to salute solemnly and respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, has the Zhao Empire counterattacked?"

Ying Chang shook his head, "If the Zhao Empire counterattacked, I wouldn't call all my beloved ministers into the palace to discuss matters, and just follow the original plan. On the contrary, the Zhao Empire not only did not counterattack, but instead withdrew its troops on a large scale, and also abolished the government that had ruled for many years. Fangshan County and Fengtai County, as well as the heavily guarded Hulao Pass, intend to give up the two counties and one pass in exchange for friendship between Qin and Zhao!"

"King Wu completely ignored the Zhao Empire's peace request, and planned to go south to attack Zhao according to the original plan. I called all my loves to come here to discuss this matter. Well, all loves, please give me some advice. Is it according to the original plan? , or take it as soon as you see it!"

"what?"

"The Zhao Empire asked Tu to seek peace?"

"Am I right?"

Ying Chang's words undoubtedly aroused the doubts of all the officials. All the officials felt unbelievable about this. They couldn't believe that the mighty Great Zhao Empire would make such a big concession. It was beyond ordinary people's expectations.

Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped out of the queue, bent over and saluted with awe-filled expression, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, I believe that we should continue to attack Zhao in the south according to the original plan. There are three reasons. It can be seen from the Zhao Empire declaring war on Yan and Han at the same time!"

"When things happen, there must be demons. The Zhao Empire's concession this time must be seeking a bigger conspiracy. This is one of them. The Zhao Empire has suffered heavy losses since the battle between Yan, Han and Zhao, and its national power has been severely damaged. Now it has suffered a disastrous defeat in Jinling. The national power is already overwhelmed, if we, Great Qin, take advantage of the victory and pursue it, we will definitely achieve the greatest results, this is the second!"

"The people of Zhao are very victorious in their struggles, they must retaliate, and they are insidious and cunning. This time, our Great Qin has severely injured him, and the Zhao people will definitely hold grudges. If we don't take this opportunity to severely damage the Zhao Empire, our Great Qin will definitely usher in revenge from the Zhao Empire in the future. As the saying goes, cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, so as to avoid future troubles, this is the third!"

Hearing these words, Jia Luo hurriedly stood out of the queue, bowed to Ying Chang respectfully and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Master Yang's words. There are three reasons. First, our army The teacher is unknown, and second, the Zhao Empire has made such a big concession, and Qin and Zhao have not had much grievances since ancient times, if they continue to attack Zhao in the south, they will be condemned by all countries, and they will be branded as unreasonable!"

"Thirdly, the territory of Jin is not stable now, our dynasty has not appeased the people of Jin, people's hearts are uncertain, and there is a huge distance between Qin and Zhao, which is a huge pressure on the supplies!" Jarrow also listed three Anti-war reasons!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I second the Lord Yang's proposal!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am following Lord Jia's proposal!"

"My Majesty,..."

After Yang Ze and Jia Luo expressed their opinions, the other four ministers and hundreds of officials expressed their opinions one after another. Among the four ministers, Minister of Industry Jiang Haiyou, Minister of Officials Li Ke seconded Yang Ze, Minister of Punishment Lei Tong, Minister of Rites Kong seconded Jia Luo, and the rest Some of the officials seconded Yang Ze, and some seconded Jarrow.

When the court officials dealt with this matter, they immediately divided into two camps, one for the main battle and one for the peace. Both camps had their own reasons, and no one could refute the other.

Ying Chang looked at Chang Zifei and Zhang Feizi, because among the officials, only these two prime ministers had not made a statement. Before Ying Chang could ask the two of them, Chang Zifei took the initiative to reply: "Qi report Your Majesty, I believe that the reason for using troops against the Zhao Empire is the same as Lord Jia's!"

"My Majesty, the Zhao Empire is exhausted, and it is a good time to attack Zhao, but it is a problem to have no name!" Zhang Feizi neither supported the main battle nor the main peace, very pertinent!

Ying Chang couldn't help feeling embarrassed. At this time, he really wanted to stand up and say that from now on, the Great Qin Empire would attack other countries on the grounds of unifying the world and creating peace for all generations, and there was no need to find another reason to attack. If you say it, I'm afraid it will attract other countries to attack Qin!

"I pass on my decree to order King Wu Baiqi to lead three thousand Xuanjia troops back to the court without going south to attack Zhao. Let this war end here!" Ying Chang finally decided to cease the war!

This is the result of Ying Chang's deliberation and weighing the pros and cons. As Jia Luo said, Qin and Zhao don't have much grievances, and the Zhao Empire has already given in. The Qin Empire has no reason to continue fighting, and millions of Jin people are still waiting. Let the Great Qin court appease!

Due to various reasons, Ying Chang had no choice but to give up this great opportunity and choose steady development!

"Your Majesty is holy!" Half of the ministers bent down and shouted together!

Obviously, this half of the ministers are the ministers of the main peace camp, and the ministers of the main battle camp feel very sorry!

"Retreat!" Ying Chang waved his hand lightly, signaling all officials to retreat!

Seeing this, all the officials immediately knelt down on the ground in unison, bowed and shouted loudly: "I wait to send you off to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, walked down the high platform unhurriedly, and led Pei Ji into the apse. When Ying Chang's figure disappeared from the eyes of all the officials, all the officials also left the Qilin Hall one after another, and finally left the palace!

Ying Chang took Pei Ji away from the Qilin apse, walking under the palace wall, followed by ten Xianyang Palace military guards.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

As he was walking, Pei Ji suddenly asked, and he saw doubts written all over his face. The reason for his doubts was that Ying Chang went the wrong way. The Qilin Hall is located in the center of the Qin Palace, and the Harem is located in the north of the Qin Palace. That is, at the back, the Imperial Study Room is located to the west of the Imperial Palace, that is, on the left, the Ganquan Palace and Xianyang Palace are located in front of the Harem Palace, and behind the Qilin Hall, it is located in the upper middle area of ​​the Qin Palace.

Ying Chang usually retreats to the left and goes to the imperial study to deal with political affairs, and occasionally goes north to visit concubines and princesses in Ganquan Palace or the Harem, but now, Ying often walks south, and the south is the direction of going out of the palace.

Ying Chang walked and replied, "Leave the palace!"

"Going out of the palace?" Pei Ji was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, excuse me for talking too much, why are you going out of the palace?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get ready to drive the dragon to the jail!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly.

Chapter 634 Killing and Punishing Hearts!

Hearing this sentence, Pei Ji finally understood where Ying Chang was going. Although he was puzzled by Ying Chang's going to the prison of the Criminal Ministry, he still talked less and did more. Soon, Pei Ji arranged for Long Zhuo to go directly from Chengde Gate. After leaving the palace, head straight to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

About two incense sticks, Ying Chang rode a dragon to arrive in front of the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The prison of the Ministry of Justice is also called the Heavenly Prison. Two feet long, the city tower is equipped with crossbow carts, and its defense is stronger than that of a small county town, so it is called the sky prison.

Arriving at the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the eunuch who carried the dragon threw him to the ground. After the dragon fell to the ground, more than a dozen prison guards guarding the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately knelt down on the ground, and hundreds of prison guards on the tower also knelt down on their knees. Before Ying Chang got off Long Lun, three officials walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in a hurry, and ran towards Long Lun head-on.

The three officials were of different ages. The first middle-aged official was wearing a black oriole Buzi official uniform and was clearly an eighth-rank official. The other two officials were wearing black quail Buzi official uniforms and were definitely a ninth-rank official.

When the three officials were five steps away from the dragon, they immediately stopped, kneeled down and shouted loudly:

"Zhao Guoan, Prison Officer of the Ministry of Punishment, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Left Prison Officer Lin Sha Right Prison Officer Zhang Han of the Ministry of Punishment, I greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The middle-aged official headed by him is resolutely the eighth-rank prison officer of the prison of the Ministry of punishment. Affiliated to the Ministry of Punishments Prison Division, is the second most important prison in the Ministry of Punishments.

Ying Chang stepped down from Long Tuo, looked at the three prison officers expressionlessly and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Guoan, Lin Sha, and Zhang Han kowtowed to express their gratitude, and then slowly got up from the ground. Zhao Guoan got up together, and raised his hands in fear and asked: "May I ask your Majesty's sudden visit to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what is the so-called matter? "

Ying Chang's sudden arrival frightened him a lot. After all, he was the most noble person in the Great Qin Empire. He was a small eighth-rank official, and he couldn't bear it at all. Why did Ying Chang, who is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, condescend to come to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

"Where is Emperor Zhaode of the Jin Empire?" Ying Chang asked indifferently.

When Zhao Guoan heard this, he immediately understood the reason why Ying Chang came here, and immediately bent down to compose and replied: "His Majesty, Emperor Zhaode of the Jin Empire is imprisoned in Tianzihao Prison. Would you like me to show you the way?"

"lead the way!"

"Your Majesty, this way please!"

Accompanied by Zhao Guoan, Lin Sha, and Zhang Han, Ying Chang, Pei Ji and other ten Xianyang palace guards entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There are four kinds of cells in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which are Tianzihao, Dizihao, Xuanzihao, and Huangzihao.

The Tianzihao is dedicated to detain princes, prime ministers, and royal families, the Dizihao is dedicated to detaining ministers of the third rank and above, the Xuanzihao is dedicated to detaining officials below the third rank, and the Huangzihao is used to detain ordinary people. There are four different cells, representing classes.

After about half a stick of incense, Yingchang and others finally came to the Tianzihao prison, which is the smallest of the four prisons, with only ten cages, and nine of the ten cages are empty. , only one cage was occupied.

Ying Chang walked briskly at every step, and walked to the outside of the only cage with people in it. Through the gap between the iron rods, Ying Chang could clearly see Min Ziying, Emperor Zhaode of the Great Jin Empire, sitting cross-legged inside. Seeing Min Ziying's rosy face, Knowing that he's had a good time in the cage.
