"Your Majesty, please think again."
Liu Xun stepped forward and said righteously: "The Imperial Guard is to protect the safety of the palace and His Majesty. If they are sent to leave Luojing, His Majesty's safety will be affected."
Although Liu Xun didn't like this group of useless guards, they couldn't carry them on their shoulders or lift them with their hands.
However, since ancient times, the Imperial Guard has been protecting His Majesty and the palace, and has never sent the Imperial Guard to leave the imperial city.
"Oh, is it so?"
Chen Jue narrowed his eyes and looked towards Liu Xun.
According to the information he found from Zhi Jinwu, Liu Xun was indeed the Minister of Rites.
All they think about are ancestral rules and etiquette that cannot be discarded. Sometimes such people are not good even though they are good.
Just like the old Chen laws were abolished shortly after he ascended the throne two years ago, and the imperial examination system was proposed at the same time, it was Liu Xun who was the first to oppose it.
The last time, Chen Jue raised it again, and he was the first to speak out against these two policies.
"What Liu Qing said makes sense."
Chen Jue nodded in agreement.
"The Imperial Guard is indeed protecting my safety, but I was assassinated last night."
"What!!!!"
Before they had time to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the Imperial Guards from going to Yizhou, they heard the shocking news again, and their expressions changed drastically.
"What assassin is so bold as to break into the palace and assassinate His Majesty?"
"Is Your Majesty injured?"
"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated strictly, and the whole family must be executed if found out!"
Seeing the angry and worried expressions of the people below, Chen Jue smiled.
This group of people is worthy of being in a high position. They are all experienced and very good at acting.
Whether they are really worried or fake, since no one will say anything, why should he say it?
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
Chen Jue also pretended not to know anything.
"It's all because Commander Wei acted too quickly. Before I could stop him, the last assassin was killed by him."
After speaking, he looked sad, "It's such a pity that the last assassin was also killed. Even if we want to investigate, there is no way to investigate."
Commander Wei, who was standing nearby, was in a state of confusion and was caught off guard by this scapegoat! .
Commander Wei, who took the blame: "..."
Your Majesty, you are really good!
After hearing His Majesty's words, several people below cast admiring glances at Wei Wei.
Since the last time Zhijinwu ransacked the residence of former right minister Xie Wenren on His Majesty's order, and produced numerous evidences of Xie Wenren's collusion with the barbarians, many people in the court have been a little in awe of Zhijinwu.
That scene... a river of blood!
People who have seen the Xie family being surrounded and suppressed still have psychological shadows to this day.
I'm afraid that Zhi Jinwu will stand in their mansion at some time with evidence of their crimes.
After all, how many people in the court can be innocent in front of the new law?
"As expected of Commander Wei, who is highly valued by His Majesty, he is really young and promising, with excellent martial arts skills——"
"Hmph!" Wei Wei glanced at those people who had agreed with him indifferently, and turned his head without giving a hint of humiliation.
"..."
"Okay," Chen Jue interrupted their praise of Wei Wei and mentioned the Imperial Guard again.
"I think that before entering the palace, all the ministers already knew that the imperial guard on duty last night was imprisoned by me.
I originally thought of letting them go to Yizhou to make meritorious deeds, but in this case——"
Chen Jue pondered for a moment, then his eyes fell on Tao Yuan.
Seemingly feeling something, Tao Yuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at His Majesty.
Almost instantly, Tao Yuan felt bad and quickly lowered his head.
However, it was still too late. The next moment, he was named.
He asked: "Tao Qing, please answer according to the new law. What crime should be punished for leaving one's post without authorization and failing to protect one's chariot?"
Tao Yuan: "..."
Can I choose not to answer this question?
Of course - impossible!
Tao Yuan's family was not well-off, so he relied on his father-in-law's Cui family to achieve the position of minister.
Therefore, he did not want to offend the aristocratic family at all. In the aristocratic family, he always tried to cover up any crimes he committed.
But now under His Majesty's gaze, Tao Yuan had to take a step forward.
Tao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, according to the new law, all Imperial Guards who fail to protect themselves will be dismissed from their posts and executed with a cane to serve as a warning to others."
Several people present: "!!!!!"
"Yeah." Chen Jue nodded.
Suddenly, he pretended to feel sorry again: "Alas! I was still thinking of asking them to make meritorious deeds, but since the ministers didn't agree to let them go, I could only give them death."
Zhuqing: "..."
"Your Majesty, I think it makes sense to let the imperial guards go!" At this moment, Fu Rong stood up.
As for the truth, everyone with a discerning eye knows.
Among the people present, except for Liu Xun, their descendants are all in the Imperial Guard, especially those who were on night duty yesterday.
Rather than being directly sentenced to death by His Majesty, it would be considered as meritorious service!
What if it’s really a meritorious service!
Anyway, the Imperial Guards were gone, so they probably wouldn't be the ones at the forefront.
"I also agree with your Majesty's idea."
"I second the proposal!"
The few people thought this and felt relieved. As long as they were not allowed to rush to the front, nothing would happen.
"Your Majesty, General Han has arrived outside the palace." Just at this moment, a chamberlain from outside walked in again.
"Xuan!"
Seeing General Han Dezheng in the Cultural Hall, several people in the hall once again popped up to say hello "???"
What is your Majesty doing? Why is Han Dezheng here?
Also, hasn’t His Majesty already dismissed General Han from his position as general?
Why do you think your Majesty means to use Han Dezheng again?
Not only did others have doubts, but Han Dezheng himself was also confused.
His Majesty has not summoned him since he ascended the throne two years ago and took away his military power and dismissed him as general.
Why did His Majesty suddenly summon me today?
Moreover, the people who came to invite him kept shouting "General".
The chamberlain who came came was so anxious that Han Dezheng didn't have time to give instructions to his family and followed him into the palace.
"Veteran Han Dezheng pays homage to His Majesty." Han Dezheng bowed respectfully as soon as he came in.
"Han Qing is exempt from the courtesy."
Chen Jue waved his hand and gave Liu Zhong a look.
After receiving His Majesty's look, Liu Zhong immediately understood and walked down with the things he had prepared.
"From now on, Han Qingguan will resume his duties and lead the troops to Yizhou to quell the chaos."
"!!!"
You heard that right!
Several people present, including Han Dezheng himself, also looked confused.
Immediately, Han Dezheng looked excited again, he could finally serve the court again, "Old minister, take the order."
"My Imperial Guards are determined to calm the chaos, and Han Qing also brought them with them.
Han Qing must not disappoint their loyalty and patriotism, and let them rush to the front line when they arrive in Yizhou. "
It is inevitable that Han Dezheng looked down on this group of imperial guards. Chen Jue reminded, "If you die, record your merits and I will reward you. If anyone dares to be a deserter——"
