Raid

Chapter 24
Filial piety to select women, this news almost caused an uproar in the government and the public.

Before Guan Zhi had time to make any moves, the direct officials headed by Meng Songyan scolded Guan Zhi's party in the court hall.

"Your Majesty, before the national mourning is over, Guan Zhi willfully choose women, and with the heart of flattering the emperor, put the Holy Majesty in an unfilial and unrighteous place. It can be said that his heart can be punished. That's all, he even hid the recruited women In the other courtyard bestowed by the first emperor. Before the first emperor wrote in his hand, did he have half of the kingdom, half of the late emperor, and half of the sage in his heart! It's dangerous!" Meng Songyan dragged his old body and stood in front of the hall, holding a jade wat in his hand, and every word he said resounded loudly.

"Holy Lord Mingjian!" Before the young emperor could speak, Guan Zhi knelt down in front of the hall, and said in a tearful voice, "I can learn from the heavens and the earth, my servant's heart for the country. I really don't know about the matter of selection. My servant A few days ago, I did tell my subordinates to remind them that the national mourning is coming to an end and the harem of the emperor is empty, so they should prepare earlier. Who would have thought that Chen Run would commit such a heinous crime on his own initiative."

Zhou Shuzhan looked at all this with cold eyes, and said mockingly: "Lieutenant Guan picked himself up with one sentence. The lieutenant said it was Chen Run who did it, but the place where the girls were hiding was the house under your name. Could it be Chen Run? How can Run be so capable? One must know that Chen Run is only a young supervisor and has no official position in the Shence Army, so how can he mobilize the Shence Army's defenses? And you are a serious lieutenant of the Shence Army!"

"The Shence Army has always been the Shence Army of the dynasty, not the private army of slaves. Before that, they guarded Fengshan Courtyard, in order to protect the emperor's imperial plaque and handwriting. The Shence Army is loyal and has a heart for everyone. Qi. If not, why would they come to guard the slaves' private houses?" Guan Zhi retorted.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuzhan sneered and said: "It's a good sentence to protect the handwriting on the imperial plaque. Lieutenant Guan knows that after the Dongchuang incident happened yesterday, the Shence Army did not hesitate to set fire to the Fengshan other courtyard in order to destroy the corpse. The entire Fengshan Courtyard will be reduced to ashes!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuzhan made a heartbroken look again, and said guiltily: "It's a pity that because of the obstacles of the Shence Army, I was one step late after all. When I entered the other courtyard, the late emperor The handwriting has been burned! Your Majesty, Lieutenant Guan was highly valued by the late emperor, but he is still so insane, he does not hesitate to destroy the things bestowed by the emperor, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of innocent women in the courtyard. Such a sycophantic minister is simply a moth in the court. We must not tolerate it."

"How could this be so? Zhou Shangshu never went in, so how can it be said that the Shence Army set the fire? If it was the Shence Army that set the fire, how could the Shence Army let Zhou Shangshu and Zhong Lang go in after the fire?" Guan Zhi immediately refuted.

Before Zhou Shuzhan could answer, Guan Zhi cried again: "Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the servants have been serving around day and night, but they left the palace yesterday, and went to talk with the Xirong mission about business in the future. How do the servants know what Chen Run is doing?" How did the servant know about the Fengshan Bieyuan? Moreover, although the servant is a lieutenant of the Shence Army, she is also an internal official. After the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the servant has never contacted the Shence Army once. Don’t say it may not be a god. Instigate the army to set fire, even if it is, it has nothing to do with slaves!"

As soon as he said this, Su Changtai, the Minister of Honglu Temple, immediately stood up and argued for Guan Zhi: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Guan has always been loyal to the emperor and the country, respected the court, respected the Holy Majesty, and discussed with the Xirong Mission yesterday. When it came to the matter, he also negotiated a business worth 500 million yuan for the country. Lieutenant Guan made such great achievements, and the country did not reward him. How can he speculate on his treason and injustice. Isn't this chilling the hearts of loyal ministers. Besides, Chen Shaojian has always Lieutenant Guan is highly regarded, if Chen Run intends to deceive, and uses the name of Lieutenant Guan to pretend to be a tiger, it is not impossible, I hope the Holy Spirit will learn from you, and don't hurt Lieutenant Guan's innocence."

500 million guan!

Everyone in the court gasped.The famine in Yuanzhou, the snowstorm in Wanzhou, and the impoverishment of the imperial court gradually weakened.If it hadn't been for the contempt of the imperial court by the Marquis Xiangcheng these years, which gave the imperial court a reason not to distribute Xichang's military expenses, so that Xichang was self-sufficient, and the household department would have been in deficit long ago.

Logically speaking, 500 million guan is not a big amount for a country, but at this juncture, 500 million guan is enough to give Northern Qi a chance to breathe.

Rong Zhi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he averted his gaze.No wonder Guan Zhi was not in a hurry when the Dong Chuang incident happened. No wonder Guan Zhi thought of taking Chen Run to take the blame after the discussion last night.

With such a death-free gold medal of 500 million coins, who can touch him?Mrs. Zhou wanted to bite her, but the people from the household department were afraid that they would not let Mrs. Zhou go.If you want to get rid of Guan Zhi, that's fine, Zhou will take out 500 million coins.

Even Taifu Meng couldn't help but clenched his fists and swallowed all the broken teeth and blood.

Without him, Northern Qi was really short of money. Even if Guan Zhi really wanted to be dealt with, it would have to wait for the dispute to be finalized.

In fact, Meng Taifu and others did not want to do business with Xirong.After all, they are not my race, so their hearts must be different, and Xirong people are ambitious people.Interacting with them and opening the door to the southwest will most likely give them an opportunity to take advantage of.

This is undoubtedly breeding tigers.

But Bei Qi was too poor.

The famine in Yuanzhou and the snowstorm in Wanzhou all dispatched military rations.Now that the Southern Jin Dynasty is rising, and Xirong is looking at the tiger, if you don't want to be eaten away, you must not save military expenses. This is money again.

Now is the beginning of spring, when the flood season arrives in May, when the Li River floods, it will be time to build and strengthen the dam, and it will be money.If Jiangbei breaks the embankment, then rebuilding Jiangbei and treating the victims will be the place to spend money.

The imperial court needs money everywhere, but there is no money anywhere.Even if doing business with Xirong people is to lure wolves into the house, keeping Guan Zhi is to feed tigers.But also had to do so.

The tip of Rong Zhi's tongue was bitter, and a strong sense of powerlessness filled his heart. He really didn't expect that Bei Qi had already fallen into such a situation.

The episode of 500 million hits caught everyone by surprise, Taifu Meng pursed his lips, Shizhong Zhou lowered his eyes, Zhou Shuzhan clenched his fists and said nothing, while Guan Zhi covered up the pride in his eyes and continued to plead guilty.

But the master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the emperor in the court hall, hid a pair of confused eyes behind the twelve hanging white jade beads.

He was originally the idle king of Liangzhou, ignorant of political affairs, and now he has only begun to learn the way of the emperor.

The Zhou family and the eunuchs did not hesitate to block the eyes and ears of the emperor in order to seize power.

Emperor Yuan Jia's understanding of the court situation is not even as good as that of the last official in the palace.

If he starts from the heart, he doesn't want to deal with Guan Zhi.There is no other reason, Guan Zhi is very good at flattery, only with Guan Zhi here, he feels that he is a real emperor.

Zhou's self-reliance and support, Meng Taifu is too strict, and often persuades and advises.Even the queen told him to listen more and think more, but to speak less and act less.

Only Guan Zhi obeyed his will almost everywhere.

During the national mourning period, Guan Zhi secretly brought the concubine into the palace secretly.

He didn't want to deal with Guan Zhi, but looking at it now, it seemed that there was a turning point.
