The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Zhao Wujiang's tranquility and gentleness made some courtiers feel dissatisfied, and they increasingly criticized him verbally and even began to criticize him verbally and writing.
"Dugu Tianqing is the eldest son of Lord Attendant. He is an unparalleled young talent. However, because of Zhao Wujiang's interference, he fell into danger in the north. Now you don't feel any guilt or worry. It's really shameful. .”
"The fact that you are so calm now is just because you are not the one who is in danger. All your colleagues are worried, but you, Zhao Wujiang, are the only one with such a gentle look. Do you have the soldiers of the northern border in your heart? Yang Daxia?"
"I think some people feel proud when they think about the death of talented people like Dugu Tianqing, right?"
"After all, Dugu Tianqing is both civil and military. He is already a general in the north at a young age. He is much higher than someone's idle position. Someone is jealous. Now that Dugu Tianqing is in a dead end, he will naturally not be worried. , but there is a smile on his face.”
"Dugu Tianqing shed his blood for Da Xia, but he didn't expect that there would be such a cold-blooded person behind him."
"It's nothing to do with yourself. It's a disgrace to the Xia Dynasty that these people are officials!"
"..."
Many officials became more and more unscrupulous in their verbal and written criticism. Zhao Wujiang's eyes were deep and calm, as if he were looking at a group of clowns.
He knew in his heart that not everyone in the court could be a good official for the country and the people, and there were also many people who had no intention of serving the country or even had dissident intentions. These officials had long been dissatisfied with him, Zhao Wujiang, but it was just because of his current situation. He is powerful and dare not show his claws on weekdays.
But now the Dugu Tianqing incident has given these people an excuse to smear and slander Zhao Wujiang.
The discussion in the court became more and more serious, and the eunuch in front of the palace waved his whip several times to signal silence, but to no avail.
But not all officials were fanned out of the way. Many officials still came to clarify for Zhao Wujiang and started quarrels with those who criticized Zhao Wujiang verbally and writtenly.
"Isn't the culprit of this matter someone from the Miao forces in the south? You don't criticize the south, but instead point the finger at Mr. Zhao. What do you think?"
"If a scheming veteran is heading to the north, will Southern Xinjiang succeed? Will Dugu Tianqing be in danger? Who is hindering this? Everyone in the court knows that it is him, Zhao Wujiang!"
"General Dugu Tianqing has both civil and military skills. He is familiar with military books and is proficient in the art of war. He is the best choice to go to the northern border to guard the border. What's wrong with that?
If you think there is a problem with this matter, why didn't you speak up and express your opinions in the first place? Who are those people who compliment the Dugu family? Not you?
How come now, when rivals in Southern Xinjiang plot to murder General Dugu Tianqing, you don’t criticize Southern Xinjiang verbally and in writing, but you do this to Mr. Zhao?
Could it be that you are also a pawn planted by Southern Xinjiang, specifically to suppress important officials in the court? "
"Hmph! Zhao Wujiang enjoyed the compliments from me and others, but now he should bear this verbal and written criticism!"
"I enjoyed the compliment at first because of the matter of the Northern General. Mr. Zhao has a keen eye for recognizing talents, and he has sympathy with General Dugu Tianqing, which relieves the worry of no one in the Northern Territory.
What does the murder of General Dugu in southern Xinjiang have to do with Mr. Zhao? Why should he bear your slanderous remarks?
If you have the ability, go to the border to fight the enemy, or develop fire mines like Lord Zhao and contribute to the war effort, otherwise keep your mouths shut!
You are a bunch of bastards who are obedient to the outside world but violent at home. I am really ashamed to be associated with you! "
"you...
Putting aside the facts, isn't Zhao Wujiang right? "
"Forget about the facts, what are you talking about about your mother? If your father-in-law knew what you said today, he would be so angry that he would throw you back!"
"You, you! Vulgar, vulgar! I and a few of you... are just trying to defend your lord, and regret that your beloved son is in a dead end. Even if your words are wrong, do you need to fight back with such vulgar words? "
"I'm just trying to defend your Majesty. I'm sorry that having a child is as shameless as you. Do you need to be so angry and trembling?"
