On the next day, in the court hall, the disputes among the various factions were more intense than those in the farmers' markets.
After referring to His Majesty's practice in the court, there was a moment of silence, which seemed to mean waiting for the rain to come in silence!
This is not surprising, there is always some suffocating calm before the storm...
Including His Majesty the Emperor, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed when he saw the dozens of seats suddenly vacated, and the stack of memorials to impeach Jun Zhantian in front of him. Although it was expected, it was also quite unexpected. , This, is it too much? !
Although I got the news last night and made a fuss about it, it was just a few people's names on a piece of paper. Looking at it now, the hall is almost empty... This feeling is so intuitive!
To use an analogy, say a student is in a class with a hundred students. Hearing at night that thirty of his classmates dropped out or changed schools, he wouldn't feel much. But when faced with an empty classroom the next day... This ratio is not much different from the current Tianxiang Kingdom court hall.
Last night, the princess was assassinated and Mr. Jun launched an attack as the starting point; inside Tianxiang City, beacon smoke was everywhere, and murderous intentions were everywhere. More than ten high officials from the imperial court were decapitated, and among these people, many of them were once claimed to be immortal with the Jun family...
In addition to this feature, another common point is that these people are currently falling for one of the three princes, but this common point is well known by everyone, and they will not talk about it. Shangming said that talking nonsense at this juncture seems to be indistinguishable from courting death.
Among those who died last night, there were a total of twelve people who were qualified to stand here. They were impartial, and they happened to belong to the camp of the three princes, with four people in each. Among them are one servant of the Ministry of Punishment, two servants of the Ministry of Officials, one deacon, three members of the Ministry of Rites, one member of the Ministry of Households, three members of the Yushi, er, and two academicians. This is only what you can see in front of you. Yes, how many more
The death of these people together would have caused a great shock to the ruling and opposition parties, and even threatened to shake the foundation of the country, but all of this is under the operation of some high-level people, so that is the case, although this high-level person is currently My eyes turn blue with anger...
Some ministers with sharp eyes and good memories, and good wrists and knowledge, discovered intentionally or unintentionally that there seemed to be a lot of new faces in the palace when they entered the palace this time. Some of them have disappeared. For example, Murong Qianjun, the leader of the imperial guards with swords, moved three times a day. The speed of promotion is extremely rare. However, this "extremely rare" member of the Murong family A rising star, now I don't know where to go...
It seems that the blood in the palace is not much less than outside, and many people feel uneasy.
"What happened last night? Why are there so many people missing today? Who can tell me!?" His Majesty the Emperor is a master among the masters of the "Political Bureau". He closed his eyes and glared viciously from the corner of his eye. Jun Zhantian glanced at him with his eyes closed. Grandpa Jun was very tired last night, you could tell from his face, otherwise, how could he be like this in the court? Almost snoring...
His Majesty the Emperor's words, which he pretended to be confused, opened the prelude to the court attack, and a large number of people knelt down in the hall immediately.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us." A large group of ministers all had tears in their eyes, and they kowtowed like garlic.
"Your lords have something to do, so please tell me in detail, and tell me everything in a straight-forward manner." The emperor frowned, looking puzzled.
As soon as this remark came out, dozens of ministers immediately fired at the old man, Jun Zhantian, saying that he relied on his merits, ignored the imperial military law, and mobilized the army for his own selfishness; said that he disregarded the imperial law, There are those who disregard the majesty of the royal family and act unscrupulously; some say that he trespassed on the minister's house, connived at his subordinates to smash them up, and some are lawless and heinous; Thirty or forty items are listed in full, and the evidence is convincing, which is called a truth!
Later, he directly suggested that Jun Zhantian should be dismissed and investigated, executed Ling Chi, beheaded by the whole family, exterminated the nine clans, etc... For a while, the hall was extremely fierce.
Everyone's face was flushed, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation. In the end, it rose to the historical height of "not killing the emperor and fighting the sky is not enough to clear the emperor's side, and not killing the emperor and fighting the sky is not enough to anger the people".
Jun Zhantian stood with his head up, his eyes slightly closed, watching the palace full of monarchs and ministers performing, worried about his grandson's injury in his heart, thinking about how to speak later, and taking the best imperial doctors home with the emperor …
"Jun Zhantian! You old man is really so unscrupulous, but what else do you want to say?" His Majesty's voice was very stern, as if he was going to be furious!
"Your Majesty, the old minister heard yesterday that the princess was stabbed on the avenue outside the palace. Although the princess was lucky and fortunate, she was not harmed; but the thief was so mad and desecrated the dignity of the royal family, it really made the old minister furious; what's more According to the informant, the assassin is very likely to have follow-up actions, and it is still a large-scale assassination operation targeting members of the royal family and high officials in the DPRK. The old minister was afraid that there would be a delay, which would cause a catastrophe; before he had time to report to His Majesty, he mobilized troops and horses without authorization to encircle the assassins On this point, the old minister has indeed made a reckless mistake, please be aware of it, and punish him!"
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched and he forcibly held back. You old boy has said it so clearly, I still know what a fart! You are so benevolent and righteous in what you said about yourself, if I punish you, wouldn't I become a foolish king? How do you let me take over? !
"Go on." His Majesty the Emperor frowned, seemingly a little displeased. If you don't need to continue, you really don't know how to answer it!
"Yes; the old minister was worried about this matter, so he didn't have time to report to His Majesty, so he got up at night, and before he had time to change his clothes, he galloped to the school grounds. Although the troops were dispatched quickly, the assassins came prepared, and there was chaos in the city for a while; the old minister was desperate, Taking the lead, rushing to the front, fighting bloody battles, bearing countless swords of assassins, finally curbed the catastrophe, and killed all the assassins! The number of these assassins was extremely large, more than a few hundred in total, and their bodies were already hanging in the city. The door showed the public; but the veteran did not dare to claim credit, because there are still regrets. Although the veteran did his best, there are still dozens of officials who have been killed by assassins before the veteran can rescue him! This is all because the veteran is too slow. It caused such a catastrophe! The old minister is willing to accept this crime of ignorance."
Mr. Jun sighed, and his voice was very sad: "Then, they are all the ministers of the pillars of my Tianxiang Kingdom." He rubbed his eyes, seemingly sighing, but actually a little sleepy...
Hearing what Mr. Jun said, all the ministers in the hall looked at each other: What? Still guilty of ignorance? Take your mother's head? Look at what you said, you are the hero who saved the entire Tianxiang Kingdom! Make a decisive decision to turn the tide and save the country from the shaky pillar of the sky; take out the most loyal minister who maintains the dignity of the royal family! It seems that if you don't reward you harshly, you will feel that you have lost too much, and you are still guilty? !
Besides, who here doesn't know that those men in black yesterday are all from your Jun family? assassin? How ridiculous! What is black and white? What is confusion? That's it! I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. To be able to regard murder as catching a thief and stealing one's home as meritorious deeds is simply an extraordinary state!
Stand tall!
As for the group of unjustly killed ghosts hanging at the city gate, if you ask the head of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to identify them, you will find that everyone looks familiar: they are all death row prisoners in the prison, but you Grand Marshal Jun executed it ahead of schedule...
