After hearing what Liang Ying's father said, Xun Shu smiled slightly and asked slowly:
"Then...in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"
Liang Yingfu took a step forward and said to Xun Shu:
"Although the Zhongxing family rebellion was caused by superiors, if we look at its root cause, it was Zhao Yang who killed Zhao Wu first, which was the cause of the disaster. Therefore, I think Zhao Yang should be expelled from the Jin State! "
In fact, speaking of it, this Liang Yingfu was still the candidate that Zhao Yang discussed with Xun Shu at that time to replace Dr. Liu Qing of the Zhongxing clan.
But now Liang Ying's father was repaying kindness with hatred. At this juncture, instead of helping Zhao Yang to speak, he gave in to Xun Shu's favor and said something that made Xun Shu quite satisfied.
After hearing this, Xun Shu smiled slightly as expected, nodded in approval and said:
"What the baby's father said is very good! However, the baby's father was also recommended by Zhao Yang at the beginning. Now that there are vacancies among the six ministers, the baby's father can be ranked among the six ministers. Although he has not been officially canonized, Zhao Yang's feelings towards you There is still some kindness left. But now, if the baby's father says this, wouldn't it hurt Zhao Yang's heart?"
Obviously, Xun Shu was hiding his sword behind his smile.
Everyone knows him. After the collapse of the Zhongxing clan, the only thing that Xunsong is most afraid of now is the Zhao clan.
And he still said that, which was obviously forcing Liang Ying's father to take a stand.
Moreover, not only was he forcing Liang Ying's father to express his position, he was also obviously preparing to make the conflict and contradiction with Zhao Yang public.
When Liang Ying's father heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said:
"How can a villain dare to seek such a high position when he is just a subordinate? No matter where he is or what position he holds, Xun will always be the father of the baby, and he will never have second thoughts!"
"What's more, regardless of Zhao Yang's intentions, he can never be exempted from his guilt!"
When Xun Shu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and continued:
"Oh? In that case... How about you come with me to the palace tomorrow and tell your Majesty about this matter?"
When Liang Ying's father heard this order, he immediately said:
"promise!"
…
The next day, in Lingtai Hall
At this time, the news of Zhao Yang's victory over the Zhongxing clan had already reached the palace, and Jin Houwu had also learned the news.
However, at this moment, there was only one minister, Xun Shu, in the hall. The rest, like Zhao Yang, are still resting in Jinyang and have not yet returned to Jiangcheng. Han Buxin and Wei Chi were leading troops outside and were not in Jiangcheng at this time.
Obviously, Xun Shu wanted to use this opportunity to cause trouble.
Liang Ying's father, who had just been transferred to the position of Sixth Minister, came out of the queue and exclaimed:
"Your Majesty! The situation in our country of Jin is very dangerous now. Do you know, Your Majesty?"
When Jin Hou Wu heard this, he couldn't help being startled by Liang Ying's remarks, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Oh? Since Liang Qing is now a minister, I think he must have some high opinions. I wonder why Liang Qing said this?"
"Now, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe have been defeated by the Zhao family. This is my luck. It is our Jin country's luck. How can we be in danger?"
I saw Liang Ying's father still kneeling and bowing with his fists clasped:
"Your Majesty! Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe conspired to rebel. Although they were defeated by the Zhao family, they fled to the east of Shanxi. Although they suffered a temporary setback under Jinyang City, after all, their foundation It's still here. Our country of Jin... I'm afraid there will be no peace from now on! Even the distinction between east and west is unknown!"
"Think of our Jin Kingdom, how has it ever been so divided after so many generations?"
"Although all of this is due to the evil intentions of the Zhongxing family and the Fan family. However, if we investigate the root cause, it is inseparable from Zhao Yang!"
"Now that your Majesty has already punished the Zhonghang family and the Fan family, you have only given mercy to the Zhao family! Your Majesty's move may only make the people of the country dissatisfied."
"Moreover, the Emperor has also issued an edict before, and clearly stated Zhao's fault. This is the Emperor's edict. I also ask you to deal with Zhao Yang quickly. You must not lose the favor of the world because of a small loss. Heart!"
Although Liang Yingfu’s remarks have long been a commonplace. However, after all, these words came from his mouth. Liang Ying's father was one of the newly appointed Six Preparatory Ministers. Therefore, his words naturally had to be taken seriously by Jinhou Wu.
Although Jin Houwu was a little impatient after hearing these words. However, he couldn't stand the comments from these people below. As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger".
Once this kind of thing is said too much, some changes will naturally occur in his thinking.
Especially, for a monarch like Jinhou Wu who is soft-eared and has no independent opinions.
However, having said that, Zhao Yang was one of the few senior officials at the time who could still take him seriously as the king.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Zhao Yang, how could he have the "majesty" of Jin Houwu now?
Therefore, he still said a few words for Zhao Yang:
"Although that is the case... Zhao Yang is the party being attacked after all, and there has been a conclusion on the Handan incident earlier. Since this is a matter within the Zhao family, even though I am the king, I can't It is inconvenient to meddle in it."
"Moreover, Zhao Yang is also very loyal to my office. If we deal with him..."
Before the Marquis of Jin finished speaking, Xun Shuo spoke again:
"Your Majesty! No matter how you explain this calamity to the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Yang is guilty of negligence. Although I am on good terms with Zhao Yang on weekdays, I dare not depose the official for personal reasons. Mr. Zhao Yang I killed Handan Wu first, so that our Jin country is now in a state of division. I think this is all the fault of Zhao Yang, and your Majesty must not ignore it!"
Xun Shu's words are very convincing.
Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, when it comes to Xunsong's position as the chief minister of the Jin Kingdom, he was originally recommended by Zhao Yang. What do you think of the personal relationship between Zhao Yang and Xun Shu? Does this even need to be said?
And now that Xun Shu is pretending to be so righteous, it is indeed unbelievable.
What's more, the inscription "The one who caused the disaster dies" written by Zhao Yang himself is still engraved on the punishment tripod. Even if Zhao Yang is in the Lingtai Palace at this moment, he has no way to defend himself.
After Xun Shu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in Lingtai Palace.
After a long time, Jin Houwu nodded slightly and said:
"Although Zhao Yang is guilty, his crime is not worthy of death. But as for how to deal with it, I have never figured it out."
"Since all the ministers and the emperor have this intention, let's temporarily order someone to pass the order to Zhao Yang, ordering him to live in Jinyang temporarily as a punishment and not to return to Jiangcheng. After Han Buxin and Wei Chi come back, we will Discuss this!"
Hearing this, Xun Shu couldn't help but smile, and immediately bowed down and said:
"No! I will send someone to Jinyang to deliver the message!"
