Chapter 242 The picture shows the poor dagger


Chapter 242: Tu Qiong Dagger

Before Gu Nanxi could think of a countermeasure, the enemy hiding in the dark could no longer hold back and launched a thunderous strike.

At two o'clock in the fifth watch (currently around 3:48), the officials preparing for the morning court gradually walked out of their homes and headed towards the palace gate under the moonlight.

The always upright Jiang Yushi raised his right hand, covered his face with his wide sleeves, and yawned quietly.

I don’t know what happened last night. My right eyelid twitched all night long, my heart was heavy, and I couldn’t sleep well.

"Morning, Mr. Jiang." Li Langzhong caught up with Jiang Yushi from behind.

Jiang Yushi looked back and found that there were dense blisters on the corners of Li Langzhong's mouth: "Tell the family to soak some mung bean water to relieve the anger."

Li Langzhong was bitter. With a face, Patting his bulging belly: "I drank a big bowl this morning, it's not easy."

Jiang Yushi didn't ask why Mr. Li got angry and worried. He must be thinking about it just like himself. Mrs. Yongchanghou was worried.

My family and the Li family have long been closely connected with the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, sharing weal and woe. If Mrs. Yongchang Marquis falls, I will not be able to benefit either!

In the end, Langzhong Li couldn't hold it in anymore, and approached Jiang Yushi and asked quietly: "What are they doing recently? I went to Fuquan Tea House the day before yesterday, and I heard from Song Da that those people often go to the private room of Fuquan Tea House, and they seem to be plotting something."< br>
Although Jiang Yushi didn’t know what happened, with his keen political sense, he knew that Mrs. Yongchang Hou had secretly clashed with those people several times!

"When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, the soil will cover us. We have done nothing wrong, and we are not afraid of the opponent's tricks." Jiang Yushi put his hands behind his back, like a green pine, he would rather break than bend!

Li Langzhong murmured in a low voice: "I'm just afraid of being accused, so why bother without words!"

As their minds were spinning, the palace gate was approaching.

Before officially entering the palace, the familiar officials greeted each other.

At this time, the respective camps and factions can also be seen.

"Yan Yushi looks at you strangely." Li Langzhong reminded Jiang Yushi carefully.

Yan Yushi was the person who succeeded Jiang Yushi after he was demoted.

He kept arranging his official robe, and glanced at Jiang Yushi from time to time, with a hint of provocation.

Li Langzhong immediately judged that this person was definitely going to cause trouble!

"You have to be careful. You don't have anything in their hands recently, do you?"

Hearing Li Langzhong's reminder, Jiang Yushi's expression did not change: "No."

Mrs. Yongchang Hou divided all the affairs between her three children. Su Xuanming was too busy, so she sent those sworn brothers around.

My son is good at studying, but when it comes to those common things, he lacks experience and often comes to me for advice.

How can I find the time to make trouble?

With a hanging heart, Li Langzhong and Jiang Yushi lined up after three whips. After being searched by guards and verified for identity, they lined up to enter the main hall.

The civil and military officers were divided into two rows according to their positions, standing in the east and west respectively.

Since Taizu of Zhou Dynasty, the rules of the previous dynasty have been changed. Prime ministers are no longer allowed to give seats during the morning dynasty. All officials must stand before the dynasty.

However, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Taishi Tong became the first official in the Zhou Dynasty to have a seat at the court meeting!

Jiang Yushi glanced at Taishi Tong, the head of the civil service, and was surprised to find that Mr. Cui Sanlun, who had never fallen in love with the court, was actually here this time.

As for Master Zhu, he returned to Nanjun early to handle some handover matters.

The palace was filled with an aura of approaching storm.

Officials with lower official positions shrank their necks and lowered their heads, for fear of causing harm to Chi Yu.

Yan Yushi straightened his neck and raised his chin slightly, eager to try.

Jiang Yushi and Li Langzhong looked at each other imperceptibly. Their hearts were high, and they both felt that Yushi Yan's arrival was not good.

After the young emperor took office, officials in various ministries had their own plans. "Your Majesty, the drought is severe this year, and there is no harvest in Henan and Henan."

The young emperor looked at the Minister of Household Affairs: "According to the procedures, open warehouses to provide food. The two counties in Henan and Henan, Commercial taxes related to grain trade are halved.”

The Zhou Dynasty had a complete process for disaster relief, and granaries everywhere were full.

Because the financial revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty mainly depends on commercial taxes, as long as the commercial taxes of the two counties are reduced, driven by profits, grain merchants will continue to transport grain to the two counties.

At the same time, in order to prevent grain merchants from raising prices, the official relief grain is the ballast stone for grain prices!

Grain merchants traveled thousands of miles to sell grain in the two counties, so they must hire some people locally, which also expanded local employment.

If the victims have hope, there will be no civil unrest.

After several generations of practice, this method has proven to be very effective.

After handling this matter, the young emperor was just about to say that he was going to go to court when he saw Yan Yushi standing up as if he was dead.

"I have my own book to start the memorial!"

The young emperor secretly thought that it was not good, but he had to let the censor speak, so he just nodded with his face.

Yan Yushi: "I want to accuse Yongchang Hou of betraying the emperor's favor, colluding with the northern border, and intending to rebel!"

Cui San discussed his thoughts, and Gu Nanxi guessed it right. Got it!

Early this morning, Gu Nanxi sent someone to knock on the door and asked her to go to court. She said that if anything happened, she would send her a message.

Cui Sanlun: "Where is the evidence? Don't slander others with empty words!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Yushi, who took out a small wooden stick from his wide sleeves The box is sonorous and powerful.

"Of course I have evidence. In addition to physical evidence, I also have witnesses!"

The wooden box was first handed to the emperor for a look, and the emperor passed the wooden black to the officials.

Cui Sanlun opened it and saw a letter inside, with the four characters "spring is coming and winter is coming" written on it.

The letter is a letter written by the left envoy in the north to an unknown person. The content is to discuss how to carve up the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Cui Sanlun sneered: "That's it? I can forge seven or eight letters like this in an hour."

Yan Yushi: "Of course it's not just this one, this letter is from Yongchang The fact that Marquis Yongchang colluded with the Northern Territory and intended to rebel was also revealed by his personal guards. "

Hiss...

My personal guard, the credibility of this matter has increased a lot!

Yan Yushi bowed deeply: "I sincerely request your Majesty to immediately send troops to surround the Yongchang Hou Mansion, arrest everyone in the Hou Mansion, and interrogate them again!"

Cui Sanlun naturally disagreed. : "You have to convict a prince based on one person and one letter. What you do is not in compliance with the procedures." , and it’s easy to chill the general’s heart!”

“Yes, that’s right, how can you just raid your house without any solid evidence?”

“The pure will become pure, and the dirty will become dirty. If Marquis Yongchang had not committed any crime, he would naturally let them go after interrogation! ”

"You said it so lightly. Do you know how much damage this arrest will have to the reputation of the Hou Mansion?"

"I would rather miss it than let it go! The reputation of the Hou Mansion is more important than the safety of Da Zhou." Is it important?”

The two groups were so noisy that they almost took off their shoes and started beating each other.

Li Langzhong was also worried. Everyone in the punishment department was from Tong Taishi, even if the guilt was not determined in the end. Who knows what dirty methods will be used during the interrogation process?
