On the dragon chair, Emperor Jing Song Ji was sitting in it, looking at the people below with indifferent eyes. Fan Hui next to him said loudly: "If there is something to do, I will retire if there is nothing to do..."
Following his voice, Song Rui and Li Zheng below looked at each other. Li Zheng did not step out of the queue, but looked at Song Rui lightly.
Song Rui's eyes flashed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still took a step forward and said first: "Your Majesty, there is a rebellion in Liangshan, Lu Di. They have attacked several nearby cities. Please allow your Majesty to dispatch them." Military suppression!”
On the dragon chair, Song Ji heard this, looked at everyone present with a calm expression, and said calmly: "What do you think about this matter..."
Since he became emperor, there have been constant rebellions in various places. Most of them are small fights. If the army is sent to suppress them, they will be put down in a few months.
At most, there are only a few bandits occupying a few hilltops, and the number of them is not large, only a few thousand. Regarding the rebellion, Song Ji was very calm.
Moreover, he is more inclined to use his troops to recapture Yanyun Sixteen Continents. If troops are sent to quell the rebellion, the expenditure on military food and salary will affect the dispatch of troops to Khitan.
If Song Rui had not always opposed the use of troops, and he was also wavering, the use of troops against the Khitan would have been promoted long ago.
Therefore, he wanted to see other people's opinions on what Song Rui said about the unruly people's rebellion. Should we send some troops to suppress it, or should we wait and see what happens?
"Your Majesty, I think we can send troops from nearby Zhoufu to suppress..." At this time, Li Zhengyi sent an official to step forward.
"Wei Chen seconded..." Following this man's voice, several people around him stood up and agreed. These people were all from Li Zhengyi's faction. On the other hand, people from Song Rui's group looked at Li Zheng's group with some surprise.
Logically speaking, Li Zheng's faction is more inclined to use troops against the Khitan, and for the use of troops within the Jing Dynasty, they will delay and save as much as they can.
At this time, the attitude of Li Zhengyi's faction made several people on Song Rui's side look uncertain. They didn't know what Li Zhengyi's plan was.
However, Li Zheng, Gao Chang and Tong Ming did not express their stance. But Li Zhenggang clearly made eye contact with the official who started the ceremony first.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think..." At this time, Song Ji on the high platform looked at Song Rui.
Song Ji, the emperor, was always unsure about what to do and was typically hesitant. Regarding the counter-rebellion, he wanted to hear Song Rui's opinion.
If the opinions of both sides are consistent, it is of course the best, and there is nothing to argue about. If they are inconsistent, he will reconsider which side he prefers.
"I thought it would be a good idea to send troops to quell the rebellion. It is said that the Liangshan bandits numbered 60,000 in number, with 108 green forest masters as their leaders. Their strength is extraordinary..."
Hearing this, Song Rui quickly wanted to speak. His words made Song Ji on the high platform frown, and his expression finally turned serious.
There are 60,000 bandit troops, led by 108 green forest masters. This is no small matter.
However, before Song Ji could speak, Li Zheng took a step forward and bowed:
"Your Majesty, I think it is best to deal with the Liangshan bandits by recruiting them to peace..."
When Song Ji heard this, he quickly looked at Li Zheng, and his heart lit up at the other person's words.
"Why did Li Aiqing say this..." He looked at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng glanced at Song Rui and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, if we can recruit the Liangshan bandits, your Majesty will have an army available when he sends troops to Khitan. The Prime Minister Zuo said that there are 60,000 Liangshan bandits, including 108 green forest masters."
"If they can be recruited, they will definitely be an elite force, capable of clearing out the Khitan enemies for Your Majesty, and help Your Majesty regain the Sixteenth Continent of Yanyun."
When Song Rui heard this, he suddenly realized that Li Zheng asked his subordinates to first send troops to suppress the attack, and then he came forward to ask for relief. It turned out that it was for him to persuade His Majesty to send troops to Khitan.
Regarding the strength of the rebel forces, if Li Zheng said it, it would not be convincing to Emperor Jing, but if it was said by Li Zheng's enemy, it would be different.
Sure enough, when Song Ji on the dragon chair heard this, his eyes widened and his breathing became short.
If the recruitment is really successful, wouldn't it mean that he has 60,000 more elite soldiers, and most importantly, 108 generals?
"Your Majesty, no...these bandits are just a mob and are not qualified to take on the responsibility of attacking Khitan. Your Majesty, please think again!" Song Rui quickly stopped him.
If the emperor really wanted to recruit troops, then the attack on Khitan would probably be decided. He quickly tried his best to stop it.
"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true. Please think again..."
"Your Majesty, those thieves and bandits may seem powerful, but in fact they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. They are nothing to worry about. Your Majesty, please don't bet the fate of our country on them."
Everyone on Song Rui's side quickly spoke out to stop him. While everyone was talking about it, Song Ji was having a headache.
Suddenly, someone else spoke from below: "Your Majesty, I am going to ask the left minister Song Rui. Mr. Song is not familiar with people and recommends Yunze, a man of bad character, to serve as an official in the court."
As this man spoke up, more than a dozen officials from Li Zhengyi's faction stepped forward to join in the performance.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song Rui, the minister and prime minister on the left, used his power for personal gain and recommended a close person, Yun Ze, to serve as an official in the court..."
"Wei Chen is a new member of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, Jiu Yunze. He is arrogant and domineering, his conduct is corrupt, and he casually hurts and maims noble children..."
"Wei Chen participated in the newly promoted Jiujiu Yunze of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy and humiliated the second prince. He committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please severely punish the traitor..."
The sounds of participating in the music rose and fell one after another, resounding throughout the entire court. As the last person's voice fell, the scene fell into dead silence.
Song Rui was dumbfounded, and Song Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also dumbfounded. We were originally talking about recruiting the Liangshan bandits and whether to send troops to the Khitans, but suddenly Song Rui got involved.
Forget about taking part in Song Rui, why are all the books on taking part in Song Rui aimed at Yunze.
Song Rui looked at Li Zheng and the officials from his group, and immediately knew what had happened. These guys were taking advantage of the discussion to send troops to the Khitan to intervene with him and Yunze.
The purpose was to force him to bow his head. If he persisted in preventing the Khitan from sending troops, these people would probably kill Yunze Shen.
If he were to protect Yunze, he would have to agree to send troops to the Khitan. These guys should have seen how hard he tried to protect Yunze last time.
Moreover, these people may have known about the close relationship between him and Yunze and wanted to use this as a threat.
Marquis Jing'an, who was standing on the left side of Song Rui's side, frowned and glanced coldly at Li Zheng, Gao Chang, and Tong Ming, with a glint in his eyes.
If it were before, he would never care about Yunze's life or death, but since he recognized Yunze as his grandson-in-law, how could he let anything happen to Yunze.
However, he did not stand up immediately, and just watched the development of the situation calmly. When necessary, he will take action again.
On the dragon chair, Song Ji was a little stunned. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Yunze had only been in Beijing for a few days, so why did he provoke such an adult to come to visit him?
However, seeing the subtle atmosphere among the people below, he vaguely understood why Li Zhengyi wanted to join Yunze. This was to put pressure on Song Rui.
He did not express his position, Jingbiao was watching, and the people under his command were fighting openly and secretly, which would help him control the overall situation. He liked to watch such fights.
"Please consult Zuo Xiang and Yunze, do you have any evidence..." Song Ji said calmly at this time.
Upon hearing this, the ministers below heard the words, and some of the people who participated in the study quickly stood up.
"Wei Chen has evidence... and for humiliating the second prince, your majesty can send someone to ask the second prince, and you will know after asking..."
When Song Ji heard this, he turned to look at Fan Hui.
At this time, Fan Hui felt a little anxious. He was worried that Yunze would be knocked down by these ginseng. But he didn't show it. When he saw Song Ji looking at him, he quickly said:
"Submit the evidence..."
Following Fan Hui's voice, the official quickly left the hall. After a while, twelve powerful disciples were brought in.
These people are just a group of powerful children who want to deny their defeat. At the same time, Song Yu and his three disabled guards were brought in, as well as the second prince's three disabled guards.
Seeing Song Yu come in, Song Ji was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Song Yu would be involved in this matter.
"The humble minister Song Yu has met Your Majesty..." Song Yu bowed down as soon as he entered the door, and everyone else accompanying him also knelt down to see him.
Song Ji waved his hand and said to Song Yu: "Song Yu... tell me, what evidence do you have..."
Song Yu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen held a horse training meeting yesterday, and Princess Yulin brought Yunze there... This son cheated at the horse training meeting, Wei Chen and the twelve of them , together with the second prince, angrily accused Yunze of cheating, and this person also killed Wei Chen and a guard under the second prince during the competition."
"They even force us to insult ourselves... They are... rubbish! We can all testify to this... In addition, Your Majesty can also tell other nobles in the city and they will know after asking!"
"Also, Yun Ze used force to snatch two bloody horses from Wei Chen! Your Majesty, please make the decision for Wei Chen!"
When he opened his mouth, he was confusing right and wrong, and directly labeled Yunze as arrogant and domineering, killing people at will, and cheating to the point of ruining his character.
He was not afraid that his lies would be exposed by Emperor Jing. After all, he had made sufficient preparations, and those Yungui disciples had long been sold by them.
As long as they insist that it is Yunze's fault, then this crushing hat will definitely fall on Yunze's head.
On the dragon chair, Song Ji frowned. After listening to Song Yu's words, he suddenly felt a little headache! Is this person really Yunze? This guy is too capable.
He had only been in the capital for a short time and he had already caused such a big trouble. He still remembered that on the first day after Yunze arrived, he seemed to have humiliated Li Quan and Gao Ying, the eldest sons of Li Zheng and Gao Chang, in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. A meal.
How come he ran to Song Yu's horse farm in just a short time and offended more than a dozen of Yun Gui's disciples? Moreover, it seems that there is also his son among them.
Anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he felt an inexplicable disgust towards Yunze. Such a troublesome guy is really annoying.
Even though he had acquired Yunze's painting skills in the past few days, he couldn't help but become more and more delighted with Yunze, and even made Yunze the chief sacrificial wine. He deliberately wanted Yunze to take over Guo Zhao's position.
But this guy caused such a big trouble for him. Isn't he just being pampered? What he hates the most is those who rely on pampering.
However, just when he was about to open his mouth, Fan Hui on the side suddenly said carefully to him: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something hidden at this time..."
He is a person trusted by the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with speaking like this. He just stopped there.
Song Ji, who was about to get angry, immediately calmed down, and the joy he felt for Yunze in his heart made him tend to Yunze again.
He opened his mouth to ask someone to call Yunze for questioning.
As for Song Rui and Marquis Jing'an, they were also a little anxious. They didn't expect that Yunze would cause such a big disaster.
However, after thinking about it carefully, they believed that Yunze would never do such a thing, and it was probably Li Zheng and others who slandered him. However, they didn't understand the situation, so they could only see if they could get Yunze to come and confront him in person.
They looked at Emperor Jing, hoping that Emperor Jing would speak. If Emperor Jing didn't speak, Song Rui would definitely ask Emperor Jing to confront Yunze.
But when Song Rui looked at Emperor Jing, he saw Emperor Jing and Fan Hui whispering to each other and nodding. Fan Hui also gave him a reassuring look at this time. Song Rui felt relieved.
Just when Emperor Jing was about to open his mouth, a guard suddenly came in from outside the door, knelt down and said to Emperor Jing Song Ji: "Your Majesty, Guo Zhao, the principal of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, brought all the sacrificial wines in the Calligraphy and Painting Academy to see your Majesty!"
As soon as the Imperial Guard said these words. Everyone at the scene was startled and their eyes were full of surprise. What the hell is the old academy of calligraphy and painting doing at this time! He also brought the entire painting and calligraphy academy’s wine offering to perform.
Even Song Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked confused. Why are the people from the Painting and Calligraphy Institute joining in the fun at this time?
However, thinking that Yunze was the chief priest of the calligraphy and painting academy, Song Ji felt that this matter might not be simple. It may even have something to do with Yunze.
Thinking of this, Song Ji felt inexplicably bad. How could this kid cause trouble wherever he went? Why did Guo Zhao come here with the entire calligraphy and painting academy’s sacrificial wine!
"Announce them to come..." In annoyance, Song Ji waved his hand.
The Imperial Guards walked out, and soon there was a burst of noise outside, as well as crying accusations.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me... The newly promoted Grand Priest Jiu Yunze is arrogant and domineering. As soon as he entered the calligraphy and painting academy, he injured students and guards, and even injured minor ministers... Such a corrupt and lawless person , please your Majesty severely punish..."
Following this voice, a group of people walked into the main hall, led by Guo Zhao, the dean of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. Next to him were Li Gang, the Zhongji Jiujiu who was being supported, and several Jiujiu from the Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
At the same time, Li Ming was supported by several people offering wine. Following behind were Song Lin and Yun Ze. The two walked at the end, with indifferent expressions, without any nervousness or fear.
Especially Yunze, it was as if these people were not here to interfere with him.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Jing Song Ji looked in astonishment at Guo Zhao and the crowd of sacrificial wines in front of him, as well as Yunze and Song Lin behind him. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He wanted to cover his forehead, and he had a headache. What the hell was going on? How could this kid Yunze cause trouble wherever he went? The people who had just interfered with him hadn't stopped yet.
At this time, another group of calligraphy and painting institutes came to offer wine to him, led by Guo Zhao. Is this guy a troublemaker?
Song Rui and Marquis Jing'an were also stunned and looked at Yunze in a daze. They both also had a headache. Why did this kid get into trouble again! I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble now!
The matter of participating in the concert just now has not been resolved, and now another matter has come up. Now Emperor Jing is probably furious again. Maybe, Yunze will lose his skin even if he doesn't die!
