Chapter 395 Hey, this is what happens when you go against me
"Yes, that makes sense." Li Yunqian's very straightforward answer came from behind the bamboo curtain.
"I heard that your name is Wu Qingyou? Are you the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Chu Pingsheng walked to Wu Qingyou again and patted the sweaty middle-aged man on the shoulder: "I Are you saying that this is not the first time we are enemies of Qing? In the past twenty years, Nanqing and Xihu have been in constant friction and conflicts. You don’t know how many battles they have fought, why do you show favor to me? Add? Because His Majesty is considerate of the people and does not want to see the people on the border suffer from the war. He hopes that through me, Nanqing and Xihu can resolve the long-standing grievances and reconcile them from now on. You need to understand one thing. I am not a minister of Nanqing. I am a foreign envoy. Your Majesty treats me well, and I will repay the kindness. If your Majesty treats me badly, it will be hard to say whether Nanqing Xihu is an enemy or a friend in the future. So if you use this to interfere with me, don't you think it is retarded? By the way, who is the one complaining about Yuan Hongdao? "
"No, no..."
Wu Qingyou quickly waved his hand, pointing to the nose in front of him that was sticking out his buttocks and wiping sweat: "Yes...it's Mr. Cui, Zuoqiandu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
He still doesn't understand what happened to this day. , the one sitting on the dragon chair is on the same side as Chu Pingsheng.
"Yuan Hongdao, Yuan Hongdao... Mr. Cui, if you don't tell me, I will almost forget about him."
Chu Pingsheng said as he walked up to Lin Ruofu: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yuan...are you okay?”
“…”
"It seems he's not dead yet."
Chu Pingsheng coughed lightly and looked at Li Yunqian behind the bamboo curtain with a smile: "Your Majesty Emperor Qing, the foreign envoy can't understand that this dungeon of the Supervisory Yuan is known as a place where mosquitoes can enter. They can't fly out, and Si Lili is an imperial prisoner. Yuan Hongdao, how did a retainer of the Lin family without an official position enter the dungeon of the Overwatch Council? Lin's influence on the Overwatch Council must be too great, and he was able to hide it. Your Majesty used torture on Si Lili. It seems that the Supervisory Yuan is not like the outside rumors. It cannot be penetrated by water or penetrated by needles."
As soon as he said this, Lin Ruofu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head: " This matter...has been approved by His Majesty."
The man sitting on the dragon chair leaned forward and said in a joking tone: "Prime Minister Lin, I want you to go to the Supervisory Council for questioning. , But I didn’t let you lynching me.”
Lin Ruofu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands on the ground kept shaking, knowing that he had fallen into Chu Pingsheng’s trap.
"That's strange. Since His Majesty's oral instructions are questions, then who asked Yuan Hongdao to carry out the punishment? Prime Minister Lin, are you falsely passing on the imperial edict?"
Look at this question.
Chu Pingsheng put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth among the civil servants and generals, asking and answering: "No, how could Prime Minister Lin do such a thing? I think it must be Yuan Hongdao who made independent decisions and disobeyed the imperial edict... ...Hmm, is the Minister of Punishment here?”
Standing in the front row, a middle-aged man with deep forehead wrinkles leaned over and held his hands.
“Let me ask you, what is the punishment for disobeying the imperial edict?”
"According to the law, you must kill."
"That's the case." Chu Pingsheng took two steps quickly, looked at Li Yunqian and said: "Your Majesty!"
"Then... kill him."
Lin Ruofu's face was livid, his hands clenched tighter and tighter, and his nails were almost embedded in his flesh.
Cui Peng was even more confused. He had some friendship with Yuan Hongdao. His original intention was to avenge his friend and do the prime minister a favor. Who would have thought that in the end he ended up doing the wrong thing and indirectly killed Yuan Hongdao? ?
"It's going to be Lingchi."
At this moment, Chu Pingsheng blurted out three words that made the civil and military officials present feel cold all over.
Lin Ruofu pointed at Chu Pingsheng and said: "You...you...are so cruel."
"I think it is precisely because Your Majesty has given Lin Xiang so much honor and favor that he The disciples believe that the master of the family is the prime minister of the dynasty and the first person under the age of 10, so he does evil and does not take the sacred order into consideration. He should be severely punished to warn the world so that he will not follow suit in the future. "
The man on the dragon throne pondered for a moment, then waved the sleeves of his crown suit: "That's right..."
Chu Pingsheng held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise."
Lin Ruofu looked depressed at first, then hid his face and beat the ground, almost crying.
“Don’t cry yet, don’t cry yet, the matter is not over yet.”
Chu Pingsheng patted his shoulder and suddenly exerted force backwards, his body like a slingshot, his five fingers like arrows, At such a speed that none of the generals in the field could react, it was inserted into the head of Captain Lin Youdao with a pop.
Yes, stick your fingers in your head!
The extremely hard skull of the human body was like tofu in front of him.
Poof...
The man fell down and his body lay on the ground.
A military attaché of the third rank died unexpectedly.
Wow.
The whole place was in an uproar!
No one thought that Chu Pingsheng would dare to take action in front of Emperor Qing in the court, killing a relative of the late emperor in the Taiji Hall.
"Commander Yan, Commander Yan, protect me!" All civil and military officials were in danger, and one person shouted when the crowd was angry.
Only hearing the clatter of armor, the commander of the Ouchi guards, Yan Xiaoyi, led a group of guards and ran into the Tai Chi Hall. There was a continuous clang, and several long knives came out. sheath.
Yan Xiaoyi looked at the tragically dead Captain on the Light Car: "Did you kill him?"
"That's right."
Chu Pingsheng grinned: "It's just your Majesty. He asked me to kill him.”
His Majesty asked him to kill him?
Seeing the commander of Ouchi's guards leading his troops into the palace, the officials of the court breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the silent emperor behind the bamboo curtain.
Don't you know that Li Yunqian already had a look of anger on his face.
Killing Ye Zhong's soldiers at Xijiekou, killing the black cavalry in front of the Supervisory Yuan, and now killing the third-rank military attaché of the court at the court meeting. Even if Chu Pingsheng's master is a grand master, this move is really too much. Somewhat.
"By coincidence...my master has been in Kyoto these two days."
Is this a threat?
Li Yunqian stared at the people talking in the hall with sharp eyes, thinking that no wonder he was so bold, it turned out that he had support.
"Master told me something. Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of Si Nanbo Fan Jianzhi, is actually the child of His Majesty and Ye Qingmei."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent.
No one expected that he would actually... reveal it in front of all the officials regarding a royal secret.
"Why did I kill the Black Cavalry and why did I want to wipe out the Supervisory Yuan? It's all for His Majesty Emperor Qing."
Chu Pingsheng nodded at Chen Pingping and said, "Because this eunuch, He has a disloyal heart.”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, the fact that Fan Xian is the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing is shocking enough, but he actually... actually said that Chen Pingping wanted to... rebel?
Fan Jian tossed his robe sleeves and said: "That's nonsense. Anyone in the Qing Kingdom may be disobedient, but Chen Pingping...it's impossible."
"What's impossible? Yes, in order to avenge Ye Qingmei, Chen Pingping personally led the black cavalry to massacre the Queen Mother and her relatives. I believe everyone has heard about this. It is conceivable that he has feelings for Ye Qingmei, and Ye Qingmei is also the supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan. On the surface, after Ye Qingmei's death, the Supervisory Yuan became His Majesty's right-hand man, but in reality it was an independent kingdom controlled by Chen Pingping. To this day, His Majesty betrothed Lin Wan'er to me, and Fan Xian is passionately devoted to her. , that day I went to the Supervisory Yuan to ask for the manager, but Chen Pingping refused to hand her over. Is it just because she was an imperial prisoner? Anyone who knows the details of the Niulanshan assassination case can probably guess who he wanted to protect. Although Your Majesty and Fan Xian are father and son, but there was a conflict of interest on the issue of Lin Waner. Instead of helping His Majesty to share his worries, he supported Fan Xian in disobeying the Holy Will. It seems that Dean Chen has made a choice between His Majesty and his son. "
No one in the audience dared to speak. Only his voice, although not loud, was deafening: "Haha, there are people in this court who are close to the prince, and some are close to the prince. The people who are close to the second prince, but together, none of them are more powerful than the person who is close to Fan Xian, the illegitimate son. Chen Pingping helps him, Fan Jian helps him, Prime Minister Lin also helps him, the prince, the second prince, you two. ...What to fight with Fan Xian?”
“That’s enough!”
The speaker was Li Yunqian.
Because he gradually discovered that things were beyond his control.
When the ministers visited Chu's life just now, the boy looked unconcerned. He thought it was Li Yunrui who helped the "good son-in-law".
It was indeed a good job to refute Lin Ruofu and checkmate Yuan Hongdao, but later it was too much to reveal Fan Xian's life experience.
“Enough? Not enough!”
Chu Pingsheng disobeyed Emperor Qing on the spot and said: "My master Bai Feng also found out something. Chen Pingping has not given up investigating the cause of Ye Qingmei's death for so many years. Recently, she has targeted the Qin family. Li Ruohai, on the surface, It's a spy placed by Qin Ye in the Supervisory Council, but he is actually a double agent."
After that, he patted Privy Councilor Qin Ye on the shoulder.
"I didn't give up this seat for free. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't know how you died one day."
Then he walked to Lin Ruofu and patted him too. Shoulder.
“The same goes for Prime Minister Lin’s retainer Yuan Hongdao.”
Yuan Hongdao is also a member of the Supervisory Yuan...Chen Pingping?
"So, Your Majesty, do you know how many tricks Chen Pingping, a eunuch, has done behind the scenes?"
"..."
"So the Supervisory Yuan and the Black Cavalry are here. In the hands of Chen Pingping, your Majesty, are you at ease? Lin Youdao, a third-grade military attaché and a relative of the late Emperor, actually came out to be his dog and bit me, a foreign envoy who can bring huge benefits to the Qing Dynasty. Fan Xian in the future If you integrate the resources of Prime Minister Lin and Chen Pingping in the court and hold the financial power of the empire, will your position as emperor be secure?"
"I've said enough! Do you want someone to arrest you?" Li Yunqian was angry.
Chu Pingsheng said without fear: "I am on behalf of Xihu and Nanqing to reconcile, for the sake of His Majesty's face. If one day Nanqing changes and Fan Xian gets the throne, will my efforts be in vain? So Your Majesty, Emperor Qing, please Give me a positive answer, should I kill Chen Pingping? If I don’t, I, Xihu, will never consider the proposal of reconciliation with you, Nanqing, because my master, Bai Feng, never engages in risky business. "< br>
Li Yunqian slowly calmed down, because he suddenly realized that Chu Pingsheng said these words on behalf of his teacher Bai Feng.
From Xihu's point of view, it is understandable that the other party behaved this way.
Li Chengqian is the prince, and Li Chengze also has the tendency to compete for supremacy. Now he has an illegitimate son, and he has an attitude of returning the financial lifeline of the royal family to Fan Xian. In order to help Fan Xian, Chen Pingping did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the Supervisory Yuan , Fan Jian, who sooner or later became the Minister of Household Affairs, was also his adoptive father, and Lin Ruofu, the prime minister of the dynasty, regarded him as his favorite son-in-law. Over time, who in Nanqing could suppress Fan Xian?
Fan Xian and Chu Pingsheng had many conflicts over the issue of Lin Wan'er's belonging. When he was alive, Nanqing and Xihu could divide the world and maintain friendship. If he died, Fan Xian would not To avenge the loss of his wife?
Chu Pingsheng just said that Bai Feng was in Kyoto City. The other party did not talk to him in secret, but chose to use Lin Ruofu to make small moves at the court meeting. Chen Pingping added fuel to the flames and drew the fire to his head, in order to force him to do something in public. choose.
