Chapter 118 Protecting the in-laws
On the night of the fifteenth, the only mail-transmitted eagle flew to Chang'an and brought a message.
In order to rescue the missing prince, the Marquis of Pingxi and the General of Zhenbei, Qin Yue, completely annihilated the Qiang and Hu tribes and killed the leader Bu Qian. General Qin Jin was loyal to the country. Unfortunately, they did so much, but the prince was already killed by Bu Qian on the day he was captured.
After reading the news, Emperor Kang Cheng had no expression on his face and was unmoved. Someone had to be responsible for the death of the prince, otherwise would his prince die in vain?
He read the news again. The Qin family is really useful. They did what they should do and said nothing.
Qin Yue is so aware of the current affairs, he will not kill him, but he still needs to suppress what he should do, otherwise the new emperor will not be able to subdue them in the future.
This is what the emperor has been waiting for? Wei Zili thought.
Sixteen, the Great Sun
Early in the morning, it was still dark, and the cold wind outside was whistling with heavy snow, so the ministers came to the side hall of the Golden Palace to wait one after another.
The emperor has not attended court recently, and they don’t know if the emperor will appear today, but they must appear. It is their honor to be the ministers of the imperial court as the ministers of the imperial court.
Even if the emperor did not pay his respects recently, they would have come in vain and did nothing. But they dare not call for hard work, nor did they dare not come. If they dare to slack off and not come once, believe it or not, there are many people who want to replace them.
If the emperor does not show up, people will come to inform them that they will not attend court today and they can go home or go to the official office to handle official duties.
Lu Desheng also came. His new carriage was very effective in keeping warm. He got off the carriage, put on a cloak, and then took it off when he arrived at the side hall, so he didn't get frozen at all.
As soon as he came in, Xie Mingtang followed closely behind.
Compared to the kind of spirit that people showed on Lu Desheng's face, Xie Mingtang had a little dark face.
Yesterday, his eldest son Xie Zhan and the eldest daughter of the Zhao family got married. There were very few ministers who came to congratulate him. This show was not as good as his nephew's marriage! After a brief inquiry, I found that those who did not come were afraid of offending Lu Desheng. How could this make him not feel bored? When will their Xie family be suppressed by Lu Desheng?
As soon as Lu Desheng came in, someone came to him and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you think the emperor will come to court today?"
"Yes, the emperor hasn't been on duty early recently. I heard that the emperor's dragon body is not safe, so we ministers are also worried."
"Lord Lu is with you every day. Let me tell us about the Emperor's dragon body, so that we can rest assured."
Lu Desheng was beating, "How could I know this? Just wait." Want to inquire about the true situation of the emperor from him? There is no way.
Until the end of the fifth day, no one asked them to scatter. The ministers knew that the emperor would appear today! So they began to sort out their clothes and clothes one by one.
Lu Desheng also realized this and was surprised that the emperor's dragon manifestation was difficult to support the intensity of his court. In addition to being surprised, he also had a premonition that something big should happen.
Soon, it was time for morning court.
When Emperor Kang Cheng appeared, his whole human form stood firm and his dragon robe was worn on his body, making him look empty.
The ministers were really surprised to see such an emperor.
The emperor looks like the time is approaching! The ministers are heartbroken.
After performing the rituals of the king and the ministers, an old minister who was more loyal and upright could not help but say, "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body."
The others also reacted and left one after another, "Prince, take care of yourself-"
Emperor Kang Cheng raised his hand and stopped these vulgar ones. He swept down and happened to see Lu Desheng looking at him worriedly. A thought passed by his mind. Among these people, it was probably only Lu Desheng who really hoped that he and the prince would be alive.
"No need to say anything about serious matters, and you can beat the horses and swim the horses." Emperor Kang Cheng said in a hoarse voice.
All the ministers complained: We care about you, do you think it's a photo of a whisper, and Lu Desheng cares about you, do you think it's sincere? Don't bring such double standards!
If they were told, Lu Desheng was actually the one who really shot the horses!
Emperor Kang Cheng nodded to the left, nodded to the left.
The Grand Marshal Xiao Qun took a step forward and took out the report, "Here is a report to all the ministers and workers!"
Seeing that the Taiwei, who was in charge of military affairs, came out, the ministers were shocked.
"I believe all the officials knew that the prince set out on November 25 to inspect the northern border to comfort the soldiers."
Yes, they all know, and then what?
"However, the prince was unfortunate. When his group passed by Baihe Town, they were ambushed and attacked by a group of elite Qiang and Hu, and their whereabouts were unknown."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers became obviously turbulent.
"What? The whereabouts of the prince are unknown?!"
"The Qiang and Hu tribe are so brave!"
"Did the army in the north die? How could the Qiang and Hu people allow them to enter Dali?"
"Qin Yue neglected his duties!"
How was the prince in the end? Was he saved it? This is the issue that all ministers are most concerned about.
After the Taiwei Xiao Qun waited for them to calm down, he continued, "Two days later, Qin Yue, the Marquis of Pingxi and Zhenbei, led a large army to besiege Qianghu Guanzhai, annihilated the enemy's army, and killed the leader Bu Qian."
The ministers in the court listened carefully. When they heard this, they all felt that the prince should have been saved, right?
"By asking Bu Qian's important generals and Bu Qian's own confession, the prince had been killed on the spot in Baihe Town."
What, the prince is gone?
Lu Desheng was also listening carefully. At the end of the hearing, he couldn't help but smack his mouth. Mom, the emperor is so powerful that he picked out the fourth prince. Who would have thought that the fourth prince was the mastermind behind all this?
Those officials who followed the prince were weak and couldn't stand firm. I regret that the prince shouldn't leave the capital!
Countless ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet! Some ministers even glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne in obscurely. If the prince stayed in Chang'an City, he would not have been able to succeed to the throne successfully?
Who, who suggested that the prince go north to work hard?! Stand out, I won’t beat you to death!
The prince's tutor Chen Bingguang went out and shouted at the top of his head, "Emperor, Qin Yue dereliction of duty. I requested to punish Qin Yue severely to comfort the prince's spirit in heaven!" He was the head of the prince's group.
The others agreed, "Yes, the prince died so unjustly and miserable." Wuwu, after so many years of investment, they finally lost their money and felt heartbroken.
Lu Desheng sneered, look at what feces he sprayed?! He noticed just now that this old man regrets something, but now he blames others quickly. He makes mistakes all the wrong things, it is all the other people's faults! If you can make things difficult for others, don't make things difficult for yourself.
"You group of immortals, you should reflect on the most. You should be the ones you should follow! You revolve around the prince every day, but something happened to the prince. I don't know if you were born to be in decline, defeating the prince, and then killing the prince." Lu Desheng jumped out and criticized him. Qin Yue was his in-laws at least, so how could he let him beat and kill?!
"Lu Desheng, you-you-" Chen Bingguang pointed at him and couldn't speak.
The people around him immediately followed, "You don't know whether you are right or wrong! You don't help your parents!"
The people next to him stood quietly behind, fearing that they would be affected, and Lu Desheng's kung fu was still so powerful.
"Am I wrong?" Lu Desheng asked back.
Crown Prince's Grand Tutor Chen Bingguang: "Of course not right. Lu Desheng, don't mess around and talk nonsense, trying to divert your attention! As the commander-in-chief of the northern border, isn't it his responsibility to protect the security of the northern border? The prince's death in the northern border, he will be fully responsible!"
Lu Desheng narrowed his eyes slightly, Old Man Chen, something is wrong with you.
Generally, after a failure in investment and losing your property, shouldn’t you be very decadent? You will regroup and keep holding the Qin family accountable. What are the benefits for you?
My daughter said that when the prince’s death is exposed, the fourth prince’s people will definitely find a way to blame the Qin family for their mistakes. So, did you, Old Man Chen, vote on the Fourth Prince?
Lu Desheng asked, "That General Qin fought to death with several foreign tribes in the northern border, and the prince's death was all blamed on him, that's right?"
He continued, "Tell me about everything first, then come first, cause and effect. Isn't this the case if you don't let the prince leave Chang'an City? You have made a mistake in your own estimation and encouraged the prince to leave the capital, and finally harm others and yourself! Emperor, I think the most damn person is the one who suggested that the prince go north to work hard! I am very suspicious that the other party deliberately asked the prince to die. "In the last sentence, he faced the emperor and said viciously.
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Bingguang widened his eyes in anger.
Lu Desheng's command was too ruthless and no one could bear it. He didn't know, he was kind, was it wrong for the prince to go north to work the army?
Lu Desheng was about to argue with him again, but when he looked up, he was stopped by the emperor's eyes.
Lu Desheng:???It seems that the emperor protects the Fourth Prince very strictly. Okay, he can't pull it on the Fourth Prince anymore.
The Grand Marshal Xiao Qun finally said, "After Pingxi Hou and Zhenbei General Qin Yue, after annihilated the Qiang and Hu tribes and killed the leader Bu Qian, he was severely injured due to several vital points on his body, bleeding profusely and unable to treat him. Finally, he was loyal to the country at the age of 45." When he said this, his voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the heroic soul.
The entire Golden Palace is quiet.
The ministers who had just shouted to punish Qin Yue were like ducks strangled, and all of them could not speak.
What else can I say? Qin Yue apologized for his death, so what else should he do? Not only that, before the other party died, he uprooted the Qiang and Hu clan and avenged the prince! Just that, it is not enough to lose his merits, right? Then, with my life, is it okay?
Chapter completed!
