After the first fool

Chapter 149
"Your Majesty, just a few days ago, Bai Mo, who acted on his behalf, publicly ordered the prisoner to be beheaded in Dali Temple. According to my Dongyao law, if any official is involved in a crime, it should be interrogated by Dali Temple, and then approved by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The official documents make the final decision, but he, Bai Mo, directly passed the Ministry of Justice and the emperor, he is blatantly malicious." Mo Qing wailed, grabbing Bai Mo's painful feet a few days ago, and those few letters On the letterhead, it was clearly written that when and where Bai Mo met with the officials of the DPRK and China on a certain day of a certain year.

What's more, he used his birthday as a name every year, which was actually a fact of forming a party for personal gain, win over a large number of courtiers, and wanted to commit chaos.

The letters were passed among the officials one by one, some whispered, some were unbelievable, some gloated, and some felt like a mirror.

"You are clearly framing," the general under Bai Mo yelled angrily, tore up the letter and threw it on the ground, "The regent is loyal to the court and treats the emperor honestly, what do you call me?" The evidence is just a one-sided statement, if meeting with officials in private can be called forming a party for personal gain, then I, you, and you, at least half of the ministers present should be beheaded and sentenced to death."

There was a sneer on the corner of Mo Qing's mouth, "You are the former Ministry of the Regent, so you will naturally speak for him. If it is not for private parties, why do you all stand on his side? Your Majesty, please take a look, half of the people in the court The officials all have a firm personal relationship with the Prince Regent. If the Emperor still doesn’t believe it, they can immediately send a message to the young lady from Xiangmofang. The King Regent’s annual birthday banquet will be reserved there, and half of the officials will be there one by one. That's not enough." Mo Qing paused for a moment, then continued: "The troops stationed in the four directions of the border, this year alone, used up half of the national treasury! Nearly 1000 million taels of silver were sent to the border as military supplies and armaments. But the border has always been stable. In recent years, there has been no war. Where are these military reserves? The guards of the four directions do not respect the imperial decree, and only listen to the orders of one person. Your Majesty, Bai Mo is preparing to support himself with troops."

"This... what the prime minister said seems to make sense."

"The last time the frontier asked for money from the imperial court again, the treasury was empty, and even the masters of the harem contributed money and effort."

"If the regent is really supporting himself, with the current strength of the court, it is impossible to compete with him."

……

The courtiers were discussing one after another, Bai Mo was the focus of their attention, he stood proudly in the center of the court, and he never made an excuse, even in the face of all the officials pointing at him, he remained unmoved, showing the demeanor of a general .

Bai Zixu frowned slightly, and slowly raised his left hand to stop the commotion below. His cold eyes swept over several generals who were about to move one by one. They only saw the regent in their eyes, and didn't take him as the emperor at all. .

A look of coldness flashed across his eyes, Bai Zixu looked at Bai Mo, and asked in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is up to now, Prince Regent, do you still have something to say?"

Bai Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his smile was desolately beautiful, like a red plum that is about to wither, trying to bloom its last fragrance, his eyes were complicated, how many sighs, how disappointed, how helpless, Slightly nodded, looked at Bai Zixu who was sitting on the dragon chair above, and slightly parted his thin lips: "I don't want to make excuses. Since ancient times, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

This day should have come long ago, but he never expected that Brother Huang would use the incident of Dali Temple as a fuse to fight against all opinions and send him to prison.

Forming cliques for private interests, monopolizing power, supporting soldiers and being self-reliant, everything is enough to make other people's heads fall to the ground, Bai Mo suppressed the emotions in his eyes, looked deeply at the high head, and looked at Gao Shou quietly. The elder brother sighed in his mouth, imperial power, is it really that good?So good that he could forget the days when they were in trouble together in the palace when they were young?

"Prince Regent! You cannot plead guilty."

"Yes, my lord, this is a trumped-up charge, and you must never admit it."

"My lord, think twice."

……

Seeing that Bai Mo had the idea of ​​arresting him without a fight, several generals hurriedly spoke out. The emperor made it clear that he wanted to use the prime minister's mouth to fight Bai Mo down. Infamy behind him.

Bai Mo pursed his lips tightly, raised his head slowly, and looked at the generals who had followed him to the battlefield, drank wine, and suffered swords, his heart trembled slightly, "I, Bai Mo, is the prince of Dongyao, a servant of the emperor "He turned around abruptly, looked directly at Tianyan, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, Bai Mo is worthy of the sky, the earth, and Dong Yao! If the emperor wants to judge the minister for a crime, the minister will never resist." Bai Mo bent Knees, the tall figure, under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, slowly, slowly, knelt down towards the elder brother on the dragon chair.

His knees rested on the cold white jade floor, his eyebrows were cold, his back was always straight, and he unbuttoned the court uniform symbolizing the regent king one by one with one hand, and took it off neatly, only wearing a white underwear, three Thousands of black hairs are bundled high in the feather crown, like a mountain, like a pine and cypress, even if he crawls on the ground, it still doesn't hurt his arrogance!

A gleam of joy flashed across Bai Zixu's eyes, he never thought that Bai Mo would subdue the law so easily!Could there be fraud in it?The easier it is to get, the more unbelievable it is. Bai Zixu has been planning for several years, but now, Bai Mo is kneeling at his feet. As long as he gives an order, he can be thrown into the prison and expelled from the court , but he hesitated.

Putting his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, he tightened them slightly, and the expression on his face was unpredictable, like struggling, joyful, conflicted...

The first hundred officials saw that the emperor hadn't moved, so they whispered to each other. The prime minister and Liao Ke looked at each other and said at the same time: "Your Majesty?"

Their deep call brought Bai Zixu back from his contemplation, he stared at Bai Mo who looked like a stone statue below, and smiled lightly from the corner of his mouth: "I actually don't want to believe that the regent has wolf ambitions. "

His gentle words stunned all civil and military officials.

The emperor has suppressed the Prince Regent's influence everywhere for many years, but now, he actually said that he believed in the Prince Regent's sincerity?

Is it because the world is changing too fast, or did they not wake up and hear it wrong?
Bai Zixu ignored the little Jiujiu in the officials' hearts. He kept looking at Bai Mo, as if he wanted to see through him, but he couldn't see anything except silence, firmness, and indifference.

Isn't he afraid that he really ordered him to be thrown into the prison?Or did he think that even if he locked him up, he would have to let him go in the future, so he was confident?

Bai Zixu's thoughts went back and forth, and finally, he sighed faintly, and said with a little melancholy: "Although I believe in the loyalty of the regent, the people in the world will not believe it. Everyone."

A group of generals who followed Bai Mo saw that Bai Zixu had returned the carbine, their hearts twitched and they fell into the bottom of the valley.

"In order to prove the innocence of the regent, and to reassure the people of the world, I decree that the title of regent will be taken away for the time being, and all rights in my hands will be put aside. I will be sent to the prison for investigation by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple. If the regent If he was really slandered, I would definitely let him go, but if it wasn't..." Bai Zixu smiled coldly, his eyes brightened, "I will never tolerate it either!"

Sentencing Bai Mo to death rashly will only be counterproductive. Bai Zixu has long been familiar with this method. As long as Bai Mo withdraws from the court, he can drastically eliminate the ministers who do not belong to him. The proof of his innocence is that he can only be a prince with no real power when he returns to the court, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Bai Zixu's abacus clanged, and with a big wave of his hand, guards swarmed in from outside the hall, obviously he had already made preparations.

"Don't touch me." With a flash of his body, Bai Mo broke free from the shackles of the guards, stood up slowly, and without looking at the high-headed Bai Zixu, turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Every step has a heavy echo.

kicking...

kicking...

It seems to be stepping on the apex of everyone's heart, making their hearts tremble.

"The Regent..." Several generals' eyes were red, watching Bai Mo approaching step by step, and then stepping away, the elders were crying silently, and they didn't care where they were at this time.

"Prince Regent—" A choked and sobbing sound came from behind, Bai Mo's steps did not stop at all, and he walked out facing the bright sunlight outside the hall, surrounded by guards with knives.

Standing on the top of the Baizhang Floating Cloud Ladder outside the hall, he squinted his eyes, only to feel that the sunlight above his head was extremely dazzling, making his tears fall uncontrollably, and a few crystal drops of water slowly fell from the corners of his eyes , dripping on the ground, splashing in all directions.

The Prince Regent, who had great power over the ruling and opposition parties, was sued by the prime minister for three major crimes and imprisoned. The Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and Dali Temple jointly tried the news. On that day, the news spread like a gust of wind throughout the entire imperial city.

Bai Qingluo leaned lightly on the bow of the painting boat, the cool wind blowing towards her face, mixed with the hot flashes unique to midsummer, hit her face very comfortably.

He raised his hand to cover the sunlight that fell from the top of his head, circles of shadows fell around his eyelids, and the brilliance in his eyes flowed.

Bai Qingluo narrowed his eyes comfortably, as if he was enjoying the leisure of swimming in the lake, his clothes fluttered in the wind, his thin lips parted slightly: "The sky is about to change." A slightly smiling murmur came out of his mouth .

Now that Bai Mo is in prison and Zi Xu is in charge of the court alone, he can be said to be a veritable king above ten thousand people.

"It's just that if you are fascinated by the superficial scenery," Bai Qingluo smiled extremely coldly, "I'm afraid the boat will capsize in the gutter."

Afterwards, Bai Qingluo asked Qingfeng to secretly tell Mo Xiaoran about today's court affairs. She should know, after all, the person standing in the center of this vortex was her real father.

"Master, Zhuyue is already on the way here." Sui Lang knelt behind Bai Qingluo, and said in a deep voice, "Zhuyue asked the slave to ask the master, when will we do it?"

"Command me, everything that happened in the court today is sealed in Dongyao's country, and you can't spread it outside." Bai Qingluo's hoarse voice slowly floated out, with a domineering and decisiveness that cannot be ignored, "Not yet When I shot."
