Snapped!
Another memorial was thrown in front of King Jin.
When King Jin hesitated to pick it up, his father's roar came from above.
"Open! Read!"
This time, King Jin heard it.
Father is really angry.
Moreover, he also felt that something was not right about today's court meeting, and it was different from what he had imagined.
It is possible that his father scorned him in public, not because the matter was not serious, but most likely because the matter was too big and needed to be dealt with in public, so that he could calm down the public's anger, so he was merciless.
King Jin cursed, took two steps forward, picked up the memorial, and read it from beginning to end without daring to look at it carefully.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Shang Qiao Nianci used the King of Jin's pass token to divide nearly a hundred batches of people from the Western Regions who pretended to be merchants and talented scholars from the Western Regions who were traveling as guarantees. They were called Daxing people and were located three hundred miles south of the capital. They were exempted from inspection inside and detoured to gather outside Yumenguan. After the gathering was completed today, they gathered together and headed to Yumenguan."
"The countries in the Western Region have arrived in the capital at least one month earlier than planned. Your Majesty must beware that they will advance the official date of the competition, causing students from various provinces to be unable to rush to the capital as scheduled."
There was no name written on the memorial.
But the more so.
Yue explained that this memorial was written by a person who was secretly hiding in the government, but whose identity could not be revealed for the time being.
The more it proves the father's trust in this memorial.
It was not okay for King Jin to cry out for injustice at this time. Even if he was not involved in this matter, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Father, this matter is due to the negligence of my son and I should not have given the token to Concubine Qiao.
In fact, in the son's house, only Concubine Qiao is good at business, so she had no choice but to do it. Unexpectedly, she lent the token to Mr. Qiao without telling him, and because Mr. Qiao was greedy for small profits, he separated her from his son. I was kept in the dark together... My son and I are all to blame for his death, so I ask my father to punish me! "
Ever since I knew that my father's attitude was not to negotiate for peace, but to win over the countries in the Western Region and completely resolve the border turmoil.
King Jin's attitude towards Descartes changed a lot.
I'm afraid that if I cross the line, it will end badly.
Now it is a definite fact that his father-in-law did something wrong.
It would only be okay if he stood at attention and was beaten, allowing his father to punish him however he wanted, and letting go of the bad breath in his heart.
"Hmph! Even if you can't cure the family, you are definitely to blame for your death!"
Zhou Qian snorted coldly at the ministers below who were silent because of his anger.
"In addition to the Imperial Shang Qiao family, there are many other families who endorsed those caravans. You should go back and self-examine and report to Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible. I would like to hear how you should be punished for this matter. Views."
A hot potato-like problem was thrown out, and no one dared to answer the question.
Especially Prince Jin, he lowered his head and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He didn't want his father to name him and ask him to answer this question.
The reason why the Qiao family was singled out in public must be because the situation was extremely serious. For this reason, the Qiao family was fined even if they ransacked their homes, and the position of the imperial merchant must not be preserved.
But at this time, if he adds insult to injury to the Qiao family and imposes heavy penalties, then who will dare to sacrifice their lives for him in the future?
But there is no heavy punishment, just lift it high and put it down gently. My father has already said before that he is not strict in running the family. He will only suspect that he only cares about his personal affairs and ignores the justice of the country.
When in a dilemma, just don’t choose.
This is also the way that King Jin lived in the palace for many years.
"gold……"
"puff!"
As soon as Zhou Qian, who was sitting on the jade steps, said a word, he heard a sound of blood spurting.
Looking down, he raised his phoenix eyes and looked at King Jin who had spitted out a large mouthful of saliva, but there was indeed a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, which was still pouring out.
Yo.
Are you in a hurry to pretend to be dizzy?
"Father, Brother Tenth Emperor was so angry that he fainted. Do you want the imperial doctor to come and check?"
King Kang suppressed his laughter, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
This did not sound the slightest concern in the ears of King Jin. Instead, it sounded like he was gloating about his misfortune.
Zhou Qian saw Ji Shangshu and others tightening their mouths and suppressing laughter. He couldn't afford to embarrass this old face, so he asked Su Peiyuan to take them to the side hall and invite the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.
Although he didn't believe that King Jin was so fragile that he would be so angry that he vomited blood from a small blow, he still couldn't bear to think about the setbacks King Jin had suffered in recent days. After all, it was his son who he had loved for a long time, and if something happened to him, he couldn't bear it.
What's more, the outcome is not decided.
You cannot do without one or the other.
After King Jin was carried off, the court discussion continued.
But as soon as King Jin left, the people who prevented disasters for other families left. The remaining courtiers, who knew how much benefits the family had gained from making things easier for others, kept beating in their hearts.
If they take the initiative to speak, it will be equivalent to confirming His Majesty's guess.
People in the family who handled this matter said that the matter was done very carefully and should not be discovered.
Even if some of them are discovered, it is impossible for all the ministers and families in the court to be discovered.
Based on a sense of luck, they still wait for others to speak, and then express their views under the pretense of agreement or refutation, which is most appropriate.
Bang!
Zhou Qian saw that there was a moment of silence below the jade steps, but no one took the initiative to speak. He was so angry that he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair.
The force was so strong that a deep crack was left on the armrest.
"You are really my good ministers. It's just a matter of living on your salary and not sharing your worries. You are also using the power I gave you to make personal gains and hollow out Daxing's foundation. How good of you! How good!"
Zhou Qian knew that 70% of the officials in the court had a huge family behind them.
It is reasonable for such a person to seek benefits for his family as much as possible when he is an official.
But you can’t do anything too far!
If they recognize themselves as emperors, they will become ministers.
If they have second thoughts and don't want to protect Daxing and the Zhou family's foundation, then they will become other people's ministers!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Seeing that Zhou Qian was about to knock the dragon chair down, someone finally realized that he was afraid.
In the middle, a fifth-grade court official in his early thirties stood up.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the law does not punish everyone, and the cause of this matter needs to be investigated. It is very likely that everyone was deceived by the cunning people from the Western Regions. Businessmen are seeking profits. Who would have thought of bringing goods and people for them and getting some benefits? , but ended up being deceived by them.”
The fifth-grade court official was very aggrieved.
He didn't lie.
In fact, in addition to the poor harvest of various specialty grains outside the customs this year, other commercial goods are also in short supply.
At this time, a caravan from a foreign country came to the door, claiming that it could provide a large amount of goods, but it only needed to help them take a few people without road guides to Yumen Pass through the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Region outside the Pass, and they would also pay tolls and food expenses. Who would say no?
After all, the territory of the Western Regions outside the Guan Dynasty that belongs to Daxing will actually change every year due to the harassment or invasion of the Western Regions countries or the advancement of the border.
In other words, the court did not have high control over that area. If it were to be investigated, it would only need to give some tolls.
But I never expected it.
Each family only made a few trips to carry goods and brought dozens or hundreds of people with them, but they actually formed a delegation from all the countries in the Western Regions to compete in Daxing!
All the ministers were trembling with fear.
At this time, no one dares to plead for himself.
And the less they spoke, the more Zhou Qian felt that they were guilty and dared not speak, and he was so angry that when he just raised his arms, he still dropped them.
King Kang took a step forward and spoke loudly.
