Chapter 447 Angry
"Ms. Yang, two colleagues, Liu and Zhou, have committed suicide, and several colleagues have been arrested. What should we do next?"
"If they turn us out, everyone will be screwed."
There was a lot of noise in the Yang family hall, and a group of officials looked at Yang Shengkui anxiously.
"Quiet!"
Yang Shengkui shouted loudly, and after everyone calmed down, he scolded: "Why are you panicking? Is the sky falling? Liu and Zhou committed suicide just to save us. Officials in the DPRK were forced to death by the Ministry of Punishment, and His Majesty asked the Ministry of Punishment to directly arrest the officials themselves It's against the rules. Now many officials in the court are dissatisfied. All you have to do is go to Longtu Pavilion tomorrow to petition, and your Majesty will naturally compromise!"
Although Han Zhang's persuasion made him a little uneasy, he did not think that Zhao Xing would wantonly kill officials at this time.
Yang Shengkui actually regretted it in his heart. Yu Xianggong was about to retire. He took the lead in this matter because he was concerned about Yu Xianggong's position.
The purpose is to gain support after Mr. Yu takes office.
Now that he was riding a tiger, Zhao Xing would not let him go even if this matter became a minor matter.
"Ms. Yang, what should I do if I anger His Majesty by doing this?" an official asked.
"Yes, your Majesty has a strong temper. When so many scholars petitioned in front of the uterus, your Majesty would arrest them as soon as he asked. If I do this, your Majesty will get angry..."
"Nothing to worry about!"
Yang Shengkui interrupted everyone and said: "When the scholars blocked the palace gate, Your Majesty was responsible. But Your Majesty was wrong in this matter, so naturally Your Majesty does not want to make a fuss."
"If we don't move now, when the storm subsides and His Majesty settles the accounts in the future, no one will be able to escape. Unless you are willing to let your relatives continue to deliver military supplies to the court."
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. It was impossible to transport military rations.
Their usual expenses are quite large, including promotion and management, etiquette, and salary alone is not enough.
And there are clans behind them. Even if they are willing, the clans are not willing to exchange all their money for Yanyin Chayin.
"Ms. Yang, I would like to know whether colleagues Liu and Zhou really committed suicide?" an official asked.
As soon as these words came out, the others looked at Yang Shengkui.
Everyone present actually doubted whether Yang Shengkui arranged the deaths of Liu and Tuesday.
If so, it would be so chilling.
Moreover, did Yang Shengkui have some agenda when he encouraged them to petition outside Longtuge?
Yang Shengkui said with a gloomy face: "If I force them to commit suicide, don't you know to let them die in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Upon hearing the news of their deaths, Yang Shengkui was rarely happy at first.
After all, he became more proactive once the two of them died.
But when he thought about it carefully, he secretly cursed the two of them as idiots.
If you want to die in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Xing will be completely clean.
Dying in the political hall gave people the feeling of committing suicide out of fear of crime.
It was precisely because of this that he took the risk and ordered people to spread this matter.
Otherwise, there is no need for so much trouble.
After everyone heard this and thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
However, Yang Shengkui's attitude still made them feel a little chilled.
After all, since ancient times, the dead have always been the greatest.
Even if the criminal is beheaded and the whole body is not kept, the family will not be prohibited from collecting the body after execution.
If there are no family members, someone will be sent to bury them.
Yang Shengkui also knew that he had said stupid things in anger, so he took a deep breath and said: "Although they did not inform me in advance, the two of them committed suicide to protect us all. From now on, everyone must take care of their families. ”
"This is natural." Everyone quickly agreed.
"Everyone, this is all for the future. The top priority is to solve the immediate trouble as soon as possible."
Yang Shengkui said: "You go to Longtu Pavilion early tomorrow morning to petition, and I will encourage more officials to go. What the officials did this time was already a taboo. The deaths of Liu and Zhou will definitely attract many people. The officials are so sad that many officials will definitely go there. "Ms. Yang, will you and the other ministers go?" one official asked.
"Natural!"
Yang Shengkui nodded and said: "I have lobbied several husbands today, and I will go with them tomorrow."
Naturally, he would not tell everyone, because those husbands were hesitant because of Han Zhang's words.
If so, these people may not dare to go.
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. With the Prime Minister taking the lead, it would not be difficult to force the officials to compromise.
Just then, the housekeeper hurried in.
Yang Shengkui frowned and said: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhongjing has led troops to take over the defense of various city gates in Bianjing!" the steward said.
"What?"
Yang Shengkui and the officials present were all shocked.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The defense of Bianjing city gate is managed by the city defense camp.
Now that the Forbidden Army has entered the city and taken over the defense, only Zhao Xing can give orders.
There is another possibility, that is, someone rebelled.
But since the housekeeper didn't say anything, it meant that everything was normal in Bianjing and it was not a rebellion.
"Ms. Yang, your Majesty is afraid that he is going to start a war. I think it's better to let this matter go." An official said in fear.
Other officials also showed fear when they heard this.
"Your Majesty transferred the Imperial Guards to control the city gate just to scare us, otherwise the Imperial Guards would have come to arrest me and others at this time. Your Majesty would rather make such a big noise than give in, which shows how strong your Majesty's temper is. We will retreat now, Of course we can protect ourselves, but how will we deal with it when your Majesty settles the scores in the future?”
Yang Shengkui said with a nonchalant look: "Your Majesty was very tolerant of Hu Shangshu at first, but later he was arrested for colluding with the wizarding sect. With my status, your Majesty will not touch me easily. If you give up, your Majesty will settle old scores in the future. Don’t come to me to ask for help.”
Everyone's heart sank when they heard this. After Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne, although the privy envoy was changed, nothing happened to him.
The official who had the most trouble was Hu Zhongyan, but as Yang Shengkui said, Hu Zhongyan was in collusion with the wizarding sect.
Before this, Zhao Xing was very tolerant towards Hu Zhongyan.
Yang Shengkui is the deputy prime minister. In the future, officials may not hold Yang Shengkui accountable if they settle old scores.
But these people are different. The highest official position is only the minister, and Zhao Xing has moved a lot since he ascended the throne.
"Everyone, go back and think about it carefully. If you are willing to go, you can just go directly tomorrow morning. If you don't want to go, I won't force you." Yang Shengkui said.
…………
In the morning, after Zhao Xing and Zhang Guifen had dinner together, they came to Longtuge.
He took the tea offered by the palace maid, took a few sips, and then began to deal with government affairs.
Zhao Xing was startled when he picked up the first tie and saw the contents.
This was actually Han Zhang's resignation letter.
When he came back to his senses, Zhao Xing felt angry.
He was very disgusted with those officials who would resign as soon as anything went wrong.
To put it nicely, this is called having character and not coveting power.
However, it actually had a considerable impact on him.
Han Zhang is the Grand Prince of the two dynasties. What will the world think if he resigns?
"Sanshui, send someone to tell the Grand Prime Minister to come."
"Yes!"
