seek the world

Chapter 186
The result of spending the night with the little goblin was to catch up on Su Nancheng's sleep in the city defense camp the next day.

When you wake up from sleep, it's time to do serious business.

Su Nancheng sent a letter to Bei Bian. After such a long time, he should know the internal situation of Bei Yi.

In the capital, undercurrents surged.The ministers are already impatient to know who the next prince is.

The world is so chaotic, even if they are corrupt officials, they still want to be safe.

No one is in a hurry, even those who firmly support His Majesty worry about His Majesty getting old.

At such a time, the birthday of an unfavored Ninth Prince and Concubine passed even more quietly.

The Ninth Prince only set up a table in the main courtyard.

Don't say there are no guests, even if they give gifts, most of them are also people under the door.Such as his accompanying reading and so on.There are also people from the Han family of the wives.

But the Han family has no decent official position.

Ninth Prince Concubine Han Shi talked to the Ninth Prince: "This year's birthday ceremony is different from previous years. Your Highness, please read this gift list."

The Ninth Prince glanced at it, and apart from a few ministers who could do things in the court, the most conspicuous ones were Su Nancheng and his wife, the leader of the General Banner of the City Defense Battalion.

The ministers who can do things are not missed by every prince, and most of the gifts they give are incorruptible and not very expensive.

But this Su Nancheng gave him an incomparably precious Shu brocade.

Everything should be for women.

This is not knowing how to do things, but using your heart.

"Did you have him last year?" Ninth Prince asked.

Asking is asking, whether there is something in his mind.

"No, this is the first time. This Master Su just got married, and he didn't need to give gifts like this before." Han said.

The Ninth Prince read it again: "Since I gave it away, I will ask someone to return the gift some other day."

Mrs. Han replied: "I heard that Mr. Su is very respectable in front of the emperor? Now..."

The Ninth Prince nodded: "It's also a good thing."

He doesn't have a favorite, but it's not that he hasn't thought about wanting the throne.

It was only this year that he dared to have such thoughts.Not much activity now.

For him, this road is too difficult to walk.But now that Mr. Xiao Su approached him actively, it made him have other thoughts.

On this side, Su Nancheng's little tricks secretly did not make anyone see anything.

On the contrary, there was a major incident in the DPRK.

The reason is that someone wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that General Xiang, the garrison of Xingzhou Prefecture, had contacts with a rebel in the south.

From ancient times to the present, the emperor is fatuous, and treacherous ministers are naturally in power.

First, someone submitted the paper, and then someone in the court talked about it face-to-face.

Some people said that General Xiang should return to Beijing immediately and explain clearly.

Some say he should be locked back.

Anyway, there is everything to say, and there are many people who refute and explain to the general.

Hearing the noise of the vegetable market below, the emperor suddenly spoke up and came up with an idea that he thought was good.

"General Xiang has been stationed in Xingzhou Mansion for more than ten years, so I can trust him."

As soon as this remark came out, those who wanted to speak to the general breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could finally relax, the emperor spoke again.

"It's just that, now that these people are saying something wrong about him, there's nothing wrong with it. I thought, Xingzhou Mansion must naturally have General Xiang. There is no need to ask him to return to Beijing."

"It's just that I should make an imperial decree telling him to send his children back to the capital. I heard that General Xiang's eldest son is only in his teens this year. After returning to Beijing, I will marry them."

……

The officials didn't know what to say.

Master Zhang of Yushitai came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed. Now the south is in turmoil, and the rebellious people have established themselves as kings, and many places have been attacked by them. General Xiang has been stationed in Xingzhou Mansion for 17 years, and he is loyal to His Majesty. How can it be done now? Some trumped-up charges, just sending a proton to the general to Beijing?"

Such persecution, isn't it going to be reversed?

You just doubt it, and you can't do it, right?
"Master Zhang is wrong. If General Xiang is really honest, it would be a good thing to send his children back to Beijing. Wouldn't it be icing on the cake to have His Majesty's gift of marriage? In this way, his children don't have to stay in Xingzhou Mansion. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the capital?" Okay? Let's rest assured." said Cao Lin, Minister of Rites.

"Master Cao is confused! Now the south is unstable, and the war in the northwest is not settled. General Xiang had no other intentions at first. What if he understood that His Majesty is persecuting him?" Master Zhang said angrily.

"What's on your mind? The idea of ​​rebellion? He holds the military power and should be loyal. His Majesty told him to send his children back to Beijing. It's not about doing anything to him. What's wrong with that?" Cao Lin snorted.

"Confused! What if something bad happens to his children after returning to Beijing? It's a long way from Xingzhou Prefecture to the capital, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?"

"Master Zhang, I remember that you and General Xiang are quite friendly. Why? Your Majesty just said that and you are so anxious? Could it be that General Xiang really has other intentions?" Li Shilang from the Ministry of War said indifferently.

"You...you...Your Majesty, please think twice. This is absolutely impossible. Xingzhou Mansion is the gateway to the south. If Xingzhou Mansion is in chaos, Jiangnan will be beyond control." Mr. Zhang begged.

The emperor didn't speak, and countless people below attacked Mr. Zhang.

There are also those who speak for him, but it is difficult to be a loyal minister nowadays, and everyone has seen it through the past few years.

So no one went out and said anything.

Those who are speech officials have a bit of a temper.

Master Zhang's two fists were no match for four hands, his face was red with anger and his neck was thick.

The emperor just laughed: "Why are you so angry? If this matter is inappropriate, just discuss it later."

Mr. Zhang's anger was ignited by this sentence.

Just say it to the emperor.

Quoting scriptures and classics, the face that Emperor Long said was blackened into the bottom of the pot.

Originally here, things can still be salvaged.

I can't stand too many people trying to stand up for His Majesty.

Cao Lin took the lead, intending to put the charge of forming a party for personal gain on Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Da, who is in his 50s, couldn't stand his anger. Looking at the group of people talking around him, it was like looking at a group of animals.

He said angrily: "Come on! The emperor is stupid. You and other treacherous ministers only care about your own etiquette and ignore the people of the world. You don't care about the court and society. If you are an official in the same dynasty as you, people and gods are all angry!"

After all, I will take off my official hat and leave.

Emperor Long was scolded, but he couldn't suppress his anger: "Presumptuous! Are you the only loyal minister in this civil and military court?"

Zhang Yushi originally planned to leave, but now he is not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty's words, I dare not respond. But how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty think about the country? War in the northwest, severe drought in the north. Floods in the south flooded countless good farms and houses. Countless people died. Your Majesty can think about it." Relief as soon as possible?"

"There are waves of bandits and rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. Your Majesty is not in a hurry to suppress them. He actually wants to suspect the general stationed in Xingzhou Mansion. He wants to send hostages to Beijing just for a few unfounded words. How stupid is Your Majesty?"
