Rebirth of the Faint Lord

The reason why Qi Junmu dared to be so sure that someone killed Guan Han to slander his reputation as an emperor was because he knew that although Guan Han liked to stand out, he was essentially the same person as Old Man Shi.

Eyelids are quick, and he likes to follow the wind. The most important thing is that Guan Han is from an ordinary background. He is more tolerant in many things and will never commit suicide.

In his previous life, Qi Junmu was not as straightforward as he is now, and he still wanted to let others know that he was a magnanimous emperor. At first, Guan Han saw that he had a good temper and liked to show off.

Qi Junmu endured it for a while, but still found an opportunity to directly demote him out of Beijing.

When Qi Junmu died, Guan Han's work as an official in other places was quite prosperous.

Although he can't be called Lord Qingtian, he's not the kind of corrupt official who hates dogs, nor is he the kind of muddled official who doesn't want to make a difference.

How could such a person commit suicide, let alone use this method to wake up the emperor.

Even if Guan Han really wanted to do that, and wanted a reputation, he should have slammed his head on the dragon pillar of the court hall, and his blood was splashed on the court hall. After a hundred years, his name will not be written by the official historian.

So to sum up these things, it should be that someone did not hesitate to kill someone, just to tarnish Qi Junmu's reputation, and mention Emperor Jing by the way.

It's also good to take advantage of the situation to confirm Emperor Jing's reputation as a tyrant, so that he will have an excuse to prevent Qi Junmu from doing the same things as Emperor Jing in the future.

Qi Junmu knew very well that the actions of Emperor Jing left a shadow in the hearts of many courtiers, and they naturally did not want Qi Junmu to be the second Emperor Jing.

Guan Han's blood letter was just a drop of water dripped into the oil pan, and many people would follow the sound to force Qi Junmu to become what an emperor should be in their minds.

Regardless of whether there were other reasons for Guan Han's death, this accident was a conflict of interests between the emperor and his courtiers.If it is not done well, some courtiers will unite and resign from the court together, leaving the emperor with no one to use and no orders to issue.

This is a silent threat.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at the discussion crowd.As an emperor, if he quits this time, there will be a next time, and after the next time, there will be a next time.

From now on, he will stand at the bottom of the weakest, respectful on the face of the courtiers, but in his heart he will only feel that he is incompetent and easy to bully.

The thoughts in Qi Junmu's heart are also Lin Xiao's thoughts. As the most powerful supporter of the emperor, he looked at Su Ren with a solemn expression and said coldly: "Master Su is in charge of the affairs of the capital, since this matter is on New Year's Eve , Why did you report it at this time? Can you find out the exact reason for Guan Yushi's death? Is it really suicide?"

Su Ren looked upright, and turned to Qi Junmu and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to report immediately. On New Year's Eve, the whole family reunites. The Emperor has sealed it, and the middle door is closed. How can I play? Now that I know this Afterwards, they immediately sent people to seal off the scene, and asked Wu Zuo to check, and there was nothing wrong with it. Guan Han did indeed hang himself. If Prime Minister Zuo still has doubts about this, Guan Han’s body is still there, so you can go and check it yourself.”

Lin Xiao wanted to say something else, but Qi Junmu opened his mouth. His expression was calm: "It's a good time to choose to commit suicide on New Year's Eve. Since you are dissatisfied with me, you are not afraid that this blood book will not be discovered. But it is good. In Jingzhaoyin, Mr. Su Rensu, Guan Han’s family is poor, and he lives in an alley. Mr. Su’s family is famous and lives on Zhuque Street, which is only separated from the imperial city by a moat. If you think about it, the relationship between the poor Guan Han and Su Ren must be It's extraordinary. He knew that you were a meticulous and upright person, so he would definitely dare to take these slanderous words to the hall and read them in public, so he specially left a copy for you when he died."

The sarcasm in what he said was very obvious, and Zhou Zheng's expression on Su Ren's face was almost uncontrollable.

Some courtiers also felt other meanings from Qi Junmu's words, how should I put it, this Su Ren has never liked to associate with those colleagues from poor families.

He even advocated restricting the scientific examinations of poor and lowly children, thinking that most poor people have too low vision and are embarrassed to be responsible.Emperor Jing sarcastically asked if all the officials in the court had to be selected from their Su family to be satisfied.

Su Ren has been more honest since then, and he doesn't speak easily in court.There is no problem with his ability to do things, and he does things fairly, but he doesn't like the poor, and he has a problem of being too straightforward

Today's incident was either Su Ren's brain problem, or someone said something about Guan Han behind his back, so that the first thing he did after the new year was to make trouble for Qi Junmu, and by the way, Qi Junmu was disgusted.

Anyway, Su Ren has always been upright, and it is his nature to say wrong things and do wrong things.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Su Ren knew that the emperor's scapegoat could not be blamed. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as Jing Zhaoyin, I am responsible for the safety of the capital. If something happened to him in your lord's place, I will naturally investigate it impartially, and I have detailed investigation records here."

Su Ren took out the record from his sleeve, and Ruan Jiqing stepped forward to take it and put it in front of the emperor.

Qi Junmu snorted coldly in his heart, Su Ren's so-called verification was to speak openly in the court hall, and also said the things in Guan Hanxue's book verbatim, he simply didn't take him seriously as the emperor.

From today onwards, everyone will discuss the emperor's inhumanity and forcing the censor to death, which can be called fatuous.In the future, the words of the emperor will be tantamount to fart.

Qi Junmu always thought that Su Ren was just an official who was greedy for merit and said something, but could still do something for the people. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.Su Ren will show up at this time, there must be someone behind him.

And the person behind this didn't like Qi Junmu, the emperor, and even wanted to pull him down from the throne.

Counting those who dare to do such a thing in the capital, five fingers can't count.

Just when Qi Junmu was about to say something, Shen Nian, who had stood in the hall on the first day, came out.

Shen Nian didn't want to stand out today, so he pretended not to see the scrutinizing gazes all around, and stood firmly among the courtiers.

Seeing that things were going in the wrong direction now, he had no choice but to stand up.

What Qi Junmu said just now, if other people say it, they will suspect that Guan Han's death is suspicious, and Su Ren did it on purpose to tarnish the emperor's reputation.But from the emperor's mouth, there is a bit of aggressiveness.

It seems that the emperor deliberately found such an excuse in order to clear himself of suspicion.

Of course, Qi Junmu can forcefully press this matter down, but doing so is very harmful and will definitely leave hidden dangers, and it is very likely that he will be attacked by others in the future.

Now regardless of whether there are other reasons for Guan Han's death, the hidden danger in front of him should be solved first, and Guan Han's cause of death can be investigated slowly.

So after Shen Nian got out of the queue, he knelt down with a plop, it was not considered that kneeling like this, but the key point was that after he knelt down, he cried out in grief and indignation.

The people who were discussing in low voices and flashing various signs in their eyes were taken aback when they saw this situation.

The emperor on the dragon chair was also stunned.

Seeing that Shen Nian was crying very sadly, he raised his head and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of my humble minister that they forced you."

One sentence attracted everyone's attention and took away all the firepower. Shen Nian sniffed and groaned: "I have heard about Lord Guan's words at the court that day. I have heard about Master Guan's words at home. The incident in the cemetery accused the emperor of being partial to the Shen family, saying that the emperor's move was not majestic, because he was afraid of the Shen family's military power, and he was bowing his head to the Shen family in compromise."

"The minister's father has fought bloody battles in the northern border for so many years. There are dozens of large and small battles in the northern border every year, and there are hundreds of battles in total over the years. My father and the border soldiers have suffered countless injuries. Who in the Jing army has never seen blood, who has never killed anyone, and who has never been injured? When the food and grass did not arrive, how many people were carried over by eating tree bark and drinking snow water? If you can survive with wounded and bleeding, that is the emperor bless the sky Care, how many families have been ruined because of this? How many people dare not close their eyes when they sleep at night?"

"Let's not talk about these hardships, let's say that because the emperor thought of his father's merits and benefited his posthumous name, he would be accused of being cowardly, stupid, unkind, and incompetent. This humble minister who crawled out of the dead in the north The first one does not agree. The emperor sympathizes with the soldiers who guard the northern border and gives you stability. If you treat him with a little kindness, you will be jealous, and even take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the northern border army. How can you bear it? The whole world is the king's land, and the four seas are all the king's subjects. The northern border army is the emperor's subjects, and the Zhenbei Marquis is also the emperor's subjects. It is the emperor's land that is guarding the emperor's safety, and it is also the land of Daqi. The safety of the people of Qi."

"Today in this court, I would like to ask, why is the emperor so ungrateful? Why is the court not clear? Why do you need others to sacrifice their lives in exchange for clearness?"

In the end, Shen Nian straightened his spine, his eyes were as sharp as a sword drawn out of its sheath, his eyes were a little red because of tears, and there was a distorted and cruel light hidden in them, and everyone he looked at felt chilly on their necks .

Facing the questioning from the young Marquis of Zhenbei, the hall was silent for a while, and many courtiers silently turned their eyes away, not daring to look at Shen Nian, they were afraid of seeing the unwilling soul in Shen Nian's eyes.

After a while, Qi Junmu stood up, the emperor was wearing a complicated and grand dragon robe, and walked step by step from the high dragon chair to Shen Nian along the white jade steps.

The emperor leaned over to help him up, just like he did in the Baibie Pavilion that day.

The emperor sighed softly to Shen Nian in the silent hall: "The Marquis of Zhenbei has worked hard, the soldiers of the northern border have also worked hard, and the soldiers who guard the stability of our Daqi territory have worked hard."

This Marquis of Zhenbei refers to Shen Nian, and also refers to Shen Yi.

Seeing the situation, Lin Xiao immediately took the lead and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise, long live my Majesty."

Others knelt down one after another and shouted that the emperor is wise, who would dare to mention this matter after that, who would say that the emperor is inhumane?

Qi Junmu looked at Shen Nian's aggrieved and forbearing eyes, and before letting go, he thought about it, and unconsciously raised his hand to pat Shen Nian's shoulder.

The emperor could feel that these words were not only for himself, but also for this man's heart.Shen Nian is young, his shoulders are still very thin, his father guarded the northern border until he sacrificed his life before returning to his homeland.

Shen Nian doesn't have a complete family, but the people he protects care about their Shen family because of some trivial matters.There are a lot of messes in the family, and he still has to deal with the northern army, and to fight for the interests of those soldiers, he still needs to be patient.

Shen Nian was angry, but he couldn't express his anger, he was afraid of bringing trouble to Shen Yi, afraid of bringing disaster to the Northern Border Army, the words of the court today made him feel bad.

Shen Nian almost pointed at these people's noses and said to them, we have gone through life and death with blood and sweat, and you eat hot food and drink spicy food, so why are you ashamed to say that you envy others' kindness.

If you have the ability to go to war by yourself, shed blood and die, these credits can also be given to you.

Sensing the silent comfort from the emperor on his shoulders, Shen Nian raised her eyes in surprise.

Qi Junmu looked at him, and suddenly withdrew his hand, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

The emperor unconsciously rubbed his fingers, he staggered back to the dragon chair he was supposed to be sitting on, and said, "I think Guan Han, as a censor, should understand what the Marquis of Zhenbei said. Since Zhaoyin can't find anything else, let the Marquis of Zhenbei investigate this matter."

Seeing that someone wanted to object, the emperor smiled coldly: "I've made up my mind, let's leave it at that."

Feeling the emperor's displeasure, the courtiers did not dare to say anything.

Their momentum of gathering to force the emperor was broken by Shen Nian's breathless impassioned words just now, facing the emperor's anger, they could only retreat now.

Not everyone is not afraid of death, and not everyone is willing to resign.

"Since you have nothing else to do, you can leave the court. Zhenbeihou will follow me." Qi Junmu stood up and said.

All the officials respectfully sent the emperor off, Shen Nian got up silently with red eye circles, and silently followed behind the emperor.

Lin Xiao looked at their backs and heaved a long sigh.

Thanks to Shen Nian's utterance in the courtroom today, the words were a bit harsh, but he couldn't resist the reasoning of what he said.
