Chapter 1073

The door of the Deqing Hall opened.

Zhao Changping didn't continue talking, and walked into the hall silently with both hands in his sleeves.

Song Ying followed the old man's footsteps carefully and walked into the hall.

He has just been promoted to the position of official doctor.

Zhao Xianggong may not have contributed much in this, but it has something to do with it. After all, the old man became the prime minister, so he can get a little glory along with it.

However, because he is too young, he has been promoted so fast, and Ganquan Academy has offended many people, and his foundation in Song Ying is not as deep as that of his old father-in-law, so he feels somewhat cautious at the moment.

After entering the Deqing Hall, all the officials stood in order, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhao Changping stood on the left, behind Prime Minister Chen Jing, with both hands folded in the wide sleeves of court clothes, looking at his nose, nose and heart, with no expression on his face.

Chen Jing turned his head, looked at the expression of the new prime minister, and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, no matter what happens in the court meeting today, we must not mess up in the courtroom, let alone make trouble in the courtroom. It is out of dignity. "

Zhao Changping looked up at Chen Jing, took a deep breath, and said, "Ms. Chen said this to me alone, or did he say it to Cui Yu as well?"

Chen Jing laughed softly: "Of course I have said everything."

Only then did Zhao Changping nod his head, and said, "I have written down what Prime Minister Chen said."

Chen Jing turned his head, looked at the still empty throne, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Zhao, the Huai'an army has marched triumphantly all the way, neither His Majesty nor the court will let some saliva drown him."

Zhao Changping glanced at Cui Yu from the corner of his eye, but remained silent.

He knew that what Chen Jing said was reasonable, and he was not worried that these public opinions would make Shen Yi guilty.

What he was really worried about was that because of Shen Yi's great contribution, the emperor wanted to use this opportunity to make Shen Yi offend most scholars, so that Shen Yi, who was a well-educated scholar, would be promoted to the top two rankings.Cut off from the ranks of civil servants.

After all, for a hero, in the eyes of the emperor, it is best to be a lone minister, so that it is safe to use.

While Zhao Xianggong was still thinking, Eunuch Gao cleared his throat and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here—"

His Majesty the Emperor, with the support of two young eunuchs, came to the throne and sat down leisurely.

Civil and military officials paid homage to the emperor, knelt down one after another, and shouted long live.

Emperor Hongde raised his hand, and said lightly: "Be flat."

After all the officials got up, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to yawn because he didn't sleep well last night, and said lazily, "Today's court, do you have your own performance?"

As soon as this remark came out, Guo Chang immediately stood up, holding a thick document in his hand, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs of the Imperial College, please jointly petition, and please severely punish the blasphemy of Confucius." Villain!"

His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you all the imperial students of the Imperial College?"

Guo Chang bowed his head and said, "Yes, all the Tai students, all sign up!"

His Majesty the Emperor said with emotion: "I don't know yet, the matter has become such a big mess, it seems that it has indeed caused public anger."

He frowned and asked, "Mr. Guo is going to punish Shen Yi severely?"

Guo Chang was startled, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister must punish Shen Shilang."

"The minister thought that Shen Shilang was born as a Jinshi in the second list, so he couldn't do such a thing that angers people. However, Shen Shilang leads the army on the front line and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him. It is inevitable that some vulgar warriors will insult the gentleman."

"The meaning of the minister and the Tai students is that the murderer who burned the Confucius Temple should be caught and severely punished!"

"As for Shen Shilang..."

He lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "I also want to punish a crime of laxity!"

Hearing his words, the emperor's eyes changed slightly.

These people are smart.

Knowing that when the Huai'an army was advancing bravely, no matter what kind of crime it was, it would be difficult to fall on Shen Yi himself, but Shen Yi was not easy to concoct, and those generals under Shen Yi's hands were not easy to concoct?

These civil servants transferred the contradiction from Shen Yi to the downward.

If it is really possible to deal with it in this way, Emperor Hongde is also willing.

but…

His Majesty the Emperor thought of the young man of his own age, and shook his head slightly in his heart.

If he really did this, Shen Yi probably wouldn't let his subordinates bear these mistakes.

At that time, maybe the conflict will be more intense.

Thinking of this, the emperor gave Eunuch Gao a look, Gao Ming immediately understood, walked down the imperial steps, and collected Guo Jijiu's documents.

The emperor said indifferently: "I have received the document."

He looked at Baiguan, and said in a deep voice: "Although the matter of the Confucius Temple being burned has not been verified yet, one thing is certain."

"Most likely the Confucius Temple was indeed burned."

"The temple of the saint, there is such a catastrophe, and I am also heartbroken."

His Majesty the Emperor sighed, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the court became lively again.

At least twenty officials knelt on the ground and wrote a letter of impeachment.

Either to impeach Shen Yi, or to impeach the Huai'an Army.

Among these officials, more than half are officials from Yushitai, and the other half are also prominent figures in the imperial court.

After all, to be able to enter the Dachaohui is at least an official position above the fifth rank, and it can already be called a big boss in the local area.

The emperor looked calm, and asked Gao Ming to accept all the memorials from these people.

Then he looked at several prime ministers and asked: "Masters, Kong Sheng is the world's literary sect. For 2000 years, incense and sacrifices have been incessant. Now, the prime ministers are leaders of civil servants, and they can also be called masters of the literary world. Is there any memorial or writing?" idea?"

The five prime ministers looked at the thick stack of documents in front of Gao Ming in unison.

Years of political sensitivity made them faintly feel that something was wrong.

So, no one spoke.

The emperor was not angry, and continued: "If the matter of the Confucian Temple is really irresolvable, I will issue an imperial edict to urgently order Shen Yi to come back and let him make a decision in court."

Chen Jing finally stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, right now the East Route Army is attacking Yanzhou Mansion, and the West Route Army is about to take shape. At this time, the frontline military situation is heavy, so don't mobilize Shen Shilang."

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and said, "There is only the sufferer and no plaintiff, how will this case end?"

"Don't worry, what to say, what to say, I will not deliberately defend and favor Shen Yi just because he won the battle on the front line."

"In my place, what should be is what it is."

The emperor said with a righteous face: "Don't say it is Shen Yi, it is the future prince and princess who made a mistake, and even I made a mistake myself. If you speak out and admonish me, I will never punish you."

He stood up, looked at everyone, and asked, "Does anyone have anything to say?"

Hearing this, even a person with a low EQ could vaguely sense something was wrong.

Everyone turned their gazes to Chongshenghou who was standing among the nobles. Chongshenghou, who was in his early 40s, closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

The emperor wanted to speak, but suddenly, a young eunuch walked up to the high eunuch, whispered a few words in his ear, the high eunuch's face changed slightly, and immediately lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty..."

After hearing a few words from him, the emperor frowned and said, "Why is the voice so low? I didn't hear it."

Eunuch Gao was helpless, so he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the internal guards are here to report that the Patriarch of the Kong family in Qufu, Kong Shangzhen, the false Duke of Qi Yan, has entered Jiankang City under the escort of the Huai'an army officers and soldiers, and is currently on the run. Come to the imperial city!"

"The inner guard who reported the letter said that this Kong Shangzhen represents the Confucius family in Qufu..."

"To return to Da Chen."

His Majesty the Emperor frowned again when he heard the words: "How long has it taken for my Huai'an army to take down the speed, and the people of the Kong family have arrived in Jiankang now?"

"In front of the court minister, don't talk nonsense."

Eunuch Gao knelt on the ground, terrified.

"The slaves dare not."

The emperor thought for a while, then glanced at the expressions of the ministers below, pretended to be nonchalant, tried his best to suppress the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and opened his mouth lazily.

"Xuan come in."

"Let me and the princes of the court take a look for themselves to see if it's true or not."
