Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"My love, is there anything else you want to say?" Daming Palace, Fengtian Hall, and all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Everyone had heard about what happened in Xilin County last night. They thought that today would be a fight between dragons and tigers, but they didn't expect it to be a massacre of great disparity in strength.

Guan Zehai of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Zeng Shutang, the minister of the cabinet, didn't even have time to react. The other party had already prepared all the evidence and testimonies, and there were traces of everything.

The cabinet minister was directly pressed to death on the ground, and even the words of the other party's rebuttal were so pale. In the last few words he said, he didn't even have the power to resist in the face of the detailed information.

Even Fan Yuanhe, the prime minister, became surprisingly quiet at the moment. A memorial that seemed to be an impeachment actually overwhelmed the civil and military officials of the court, and they all lowered their heads.

Emperor Mingkang at the top, after a little relief, also saw the current situation.

Although the words Zeng Shutang said just now were suspected of dragging people into the water, but at the same time they planted a thorn in Emperor Mingkang's heart again, a thorn that makes people unable to sleep peacefully as long as he touches it a little.

Emperor Mingkang stood up from the dragon chair, glanced across the group of officials, all of them lowered their heads, and remained silent.Even several cabinet ministers were like this, which made him feel a little chilled.

This is just a memorial, and the real person is still there, so the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are silent. "Zhou Chongde, what do you say~~"

They didn't open their mouths, and Emperor Ming Kang didn't intend to let these people go. The next moment, he directly called the names.In the queue, a man in a scarlet robe with a peacock patch embroidered on his chest came out.

This is Zhou Chongde, a senior member of the third rank in the current dynasty, the servant of the Ministry of officials.

Zhou Chongde held the wat board in his hand, and his expression was quite nervous, so that the wat board, which should have been chest-high, was already higher than his forehead at this moment.

"Introduction to my emperor, I believe that Zeng Shutang is heinous, and he was sentenced to death at the beginning!! To make an example to others!"

The other party said this, in fact, it was the usual style in the court, everyone pushed the wall down, and now that Zeng Shutang fell, it was handled by Emperor Mingkang himself, so he would add a few more sentences, this is the safest.

But that's not what Emperor Mingkang wanted to hear. With his current control over the capital, how much trouble could a cabinet minister cause?

What he wanted to ask was Jia Yu! !

Only Mingkang said leisurely: "What do Ai Qing think of Champion Hou?"

Unable to hear the voice of joy and anger, it echoed in the main hall of Fengtian Temple, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty held their breath at this moment.

The most important thing is coming, what is Emperor Mingkang's plan?Perhaps within the next few sentences, it was revealed.

So they all strained their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a detail.When Zhou Chongde heard this, he couldn't stop smiling wryly, and secretly said bitterly! !

He took a sneak peek at Emperor Mingkang cautiously, trying to figure out what Emperor Mingkang meant.However, he still overestimated himself, Emperor Mingkang's face was calm, and he couldn't see what the other party was thinking at all.

Now, with the situation in front of him, he has only two choices. One is to continue Zeng Shutang's words, saying that Jia Qiu is a thief who steals the country. I hope the emperor can catch him next time!
The other one is, contrary to the first one, saying that Jia Yu is young and energetic, so he is unavoidably reckless, but his intention is not bad. It is to protect the emperor and Dakang, which can be regarded as an excuse.

It's just that right now he can't guess what Emperor Ming Kang's intentions are, and he doesn't dare to speak rashly at all. Once he is on the wrong team, his official career will come to an end, and even his own life will be endangered.

"Zhou Aiqing, do you have nothing to say?"

Zhou Chongde lifted the wat board above his head, and said, "The champion is young and talented, and the officials have little knowledge and dare not make good comments. This matter should be dictated by the Sacred Heart!!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The courageous people nearby even squinted at this Zhou Chongde, good guy, this guy actually kicked the ball back to Emperor Mingkang.Not participating in the evaluation of Jia Qiu at all is undoubtedly a wise way to protect oneself.
really not bad.

But in the current situation, Emperor Mingkang might be dissatisfied if the other party did this.

Emperor Mingkang didn't respond when he heard this. The other party said there was no difference. What he wanted to ask was not such a nonsensical answer.

"Ma Changlong, tell me your opinion~~

Among the ranks of military officers, Qi Mu Hou Ma Changlong looked a little unnatural after hearing Emperor Ming Kang's words.Some time ago, Xungui's lineage had a quarrel with Jia Qiu, and it was even said that they were tit for tat.

And after this period of time, he also learned the truth. It seems that even without relying on the Xungui Group, Jia Qiu can thrive. I don't want to offend you head-on.

Especially after the incident between Zhen Guogong and Li Guogong, the relationship between the court became very delicate.

Fan Yuanhe and Zeng Shutang have always been the leaders of their Xungui Group, and now one of the leaders has gone, and they are still in such an environment, which also makes him feel terrified.

Will Jia Qiu also investigate his affairs to the bottom?In fact, there is a saying, which still makes sense. Whose bottom will be clean when they are an official? ?
Not to mention others, even Jia Yu himself, dare not say that he must be clean! !What's more, they~ Those things can't stand the investigation! ! !

"Qizou, my emperor, I believe that although Zeng Shutang has done many wrong things, he has also done many good things over the years. He has worked hard for Dakang for decades, even if there is no credit, there is hard work!!"

"Of course, if you do something wrong, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility. This humble official does not deny it, but is it too heavy to punish his nine clans? Dakang has always established the country with benevolence and righteousness, and treated a veteran of the two dynasties like this. Will it make the world chill?"

Hearing this, there was a burst of sighing in the hall. In fact, most of them also thought about this matter. They have not heard of such a word for many years. Such a crime Most of it should be related to rebellion, but at best Zeng Shutang is just using his power to benefit himself. Of course, there are also some unacceptable things in it, that is, speaking for foreigners and dealing with his own people, but he has never Touch that red line~~
After a short pause, Ma Changlong continued: "As for the champion Hou Jiayu, I believe that some things must not be groundless, and I also believe that the champion Hou Jiayu is innocent, but this matter still needs to be investigated, and the details need to be investigated in detail. In this way, Not only cleared the suspicion of the champion, but also reassured all the adults present! Reassured the imperial court!!"

Emperor Mingkang stood at the front desk, waved his hand, indicating that he could join the queue, and did not continue talking to Ma Changlong. "Lord Fan, Lord Wang, what about you?"

Afterwards, Emperor Mingkang pointed out two more people, one was Zeng Shutang's old friend Fan Yuanhe, and the other was his own power, Wang Xiren.

The cabinet ministers went out of five, leaving Lin Ruhai and shutting down Zeng Shutang.There are only three left now!
He should have been happy about Zeng Shutang's downfall, but what the other party said was another thorn in his side that he couldn't ignore.

Fan Yuanhe sighed softly in his heart, this time, he couldn't excuse Zeng Shutang again.

The relationship between the two was already close, if he was making excuses, it would be easy to think that what Zeng Shutang did might be done by him.

So Fan Yuanhe went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth. Didn't Emperor Mingkang want to ask what attitude he should have towards Jia Yu? "Your Majesty, this veteran thinks that it is especially inappropriate for the champion, Hou Jiayu, to kill the host and guest Si Zheng, Jiang Wenzheng, in the midst of a busy city.
"The champion, Hou Jiaqiu, has ignored the laws and disciplines of my Dakang. It is not the first time that he has shot and injured people. Even if Dakang's officials make mistakes, they should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Whether they are arrested, killed or imprisoned, they should abide by it." Law, instead of being beaten to death simply like this, in this way, what we lose is our Dakang's face and majesty!!"

"When the time comes, how will the people of the world view our court?? Will the court's laws continue to be maintained?
What will happen to the prestige of the imperial court! !These are all questions to consider! ! "

"That's why the old minister thinks that the champion Hou Jiayu has acted inappropriately, and he can be punished in a small way, so that he can realize that sometimes problems can't be dealt with with passion alone. The evil can be forgiven, I hope the emperor will think twice about this!!"

Emperor Mingkang nodded slightly, but did not refute Fan Yuanhe's words.

Before Fan Yuanhe's words completely dissipated, Wang Xiren raised the wat board in his hand and said: "The old minister thought that Mr. Fan's words were to the point, and the old minister also believed that Champion Hou is not that kind of person, but there is no such thing as a storm. It’s better to check!!”

After Wang Xiren expressed his attitude, he stopped exporting. How to check?No one will mention it anymore, it seems that he doesn't want to offend the unpredictable champion Hou.

Originally, the few of them had already received the news yesterday that Jia Qiu had been grounded by the emperor, but judging from the current effect, the opponent was grounded, and Zeng Shutang was also knocked down. What does this mean? Everyone still doesn't know.

This is just a few of them. If there are other people, most of them would probably want to say the same thing as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at the beginning! !
Originally, they wanted to overthrow a Zeng Shutang, but they didn't expect that there would be another champion, and this person caused the whole court to panic, which made each of them feel heavy in their hearts.
