It's dawn.

The main hall of Weiyang Palace is brilliantly lit, but there is no fireworks. Night pearls from the South China Sea are everywhere in the hall.

If Wang Qilin was here, he would definitely think of the low-wattage light bulb he saw in his dream.

There are small light bulbs everywhere in the main hall, and each one is worth enough for a gentry to eat for a lifetime.

The court was filled with civil and military officials, and the Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal each brought a team of men and horses, standing on the left and right, looking at each other from afar.

Emperor Taishou, wearing a dragon robe, looked at his minister leisurely and suddenly spoke: "Today is February 25th, and the Qianjun crossbow will be triggered. A single arrow hits the red heart, and there is no inch of land on the earth."

"There are no barriers around the surrounding area, revealing the master of Taibai Temple. Last year, he was crying for grievances and sufferings."

"Happiness is joy in suffering, and suffering is bitter in joy. Drink away the old lady of Ciming, and change the bad luck and change the grave."

"The water flowing in the south stream is as green as snails, and the falling flowers are as red as rain."

After reading this poem leisurely, Emperor Taishou said with a smile: "Where is General Zhengbei?"

A rough and strong man with a beard walked out and said loudly after saluting: "Report to Your Majesty, I will be here for the last general Wu Polu."

Emperor Taishou asked, "Have you heard my poem clearly?"

Wu Polu said shyly: "I heard clearly, but I'm sure you can forgive me. I'll be the only one who will be killed. This reading verse is not a strong point."

Someone reminded him in the queue: "The flowers are falling like rain when you live in the deep place!"

Wu Polu looked up at the emperor in shock.

"Yes, yesterday February 25th, the flowers were falling red like rain," Emperor Taishou smiled and said, "I call you out not to take the exam for your poetry, but to hear that the general was married yesterday and had a new beautiful concubine, so I wanted to see if the general could get up early to attend the meeting today. I didn't expect the general to come in time. Didn't he have a good rest last night?"

Wu Polu smiled and said, "I know that there is a grand ceremony today, so I rested early. I slept for three hours, so I will be full of energy."

Another man covered in the ranks of military generals laughed in a low voice: "Last night we had a fuss in your house. You were not late for the grand ceremony today, and you slept for three hours. Hehe, although General Zhengbei lived in Chang'an for a long time, he still maintained the standard of life in the army. He is really a role model for us."

Emperor Taishou asked curiously: "The standard of life in the army? What does General Wen mean?"

The talking general came out and saluted and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the war situation in the army is urgent, and there may be enemy troops coming to invade at any time. Therefore, we all pay attention to the word "fast" in the army. Eat quickly, go to the cottage quickly, take off clothes and dress quickly..."

No one in the hall was slow to turn, and laughed everywhere when he heard this.

Suddenly, the hall was filled with a breath of joy.

Wu Polu was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Your Majesty clearly understands that the general of the army slanders the last general at the court meeting. Please ask Your Majesty to uphold justice as the last general."

General Wen said with a smile: "General Zhengbei is the slander. How did I slander you?"

Wu Polu had nothing to say.

The laughter came again, and the smile of Emperor Taishou was particularly pleasant.

He pressed his hands and said, "Please go back, two generals, let's officially start our court meeting today. Do you have any important matters to report?"

The civil servant, the chief prime minister, Lang Zhihuan, walked up steadily and said, "Your Majesty, it has been raining in Shu County for three months. At that time, there were demons who claimed that the court had no virtue and the heaven punished him."

Emperor Taishou frowned and said, "Just say it, they say I have no virtue, right?"

Lang Zhihuan held up the tablet and bowed, silent.

Emperor Taishou said unhappily: "The rain in Shu County has not fallen for three months. I am unhappy and I don't understand the reason after thinking about it. I have ascended the throne and inherited my ancestral property. I believe that I have never been indulged in military affairs, nor have I been extravagant and desireful, nor have I indulged in lust, and I am greedy for alcohol and lust. I am my dear friends and speak boldly. Do I have no virtue?"

All the officials stood up together, and their voices were loud: "Your Majesty, long live the wise and wise!"

Emperor Taishou also stood up, and he waved his hand and said, "Long live long? Humph, I am not old and not too old to be afraid of death, so I will not say less about this kind of lyrics in the future."

"Last winter, there was heavy snow in the north and snow disasters in many counties, and there were even more snow in the northeastern prefectures. As soon as the spring of this year, there was a severe drought in many places. Shu County, which had always been full of rain, did not see any water droplets for three consecutive months."

"You all beloved, please boldly say, what's going on? Is it true that I am not virtuous? Is the heaven punishing me with the people?"

Who dares to say this? The emperor asked them to be bold. If they were really bold, they would probably vomit all their bitter gills tomorrow.

The Minister of Justice walked out steadily and said in a deep voice: "The weather is abnormal, there must be evil! Your Majesty will naturally be virtuous and will be able to protect the world and govern the Qinghe Banquet in Jiuzhou. This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"But I heard from the Prime Minister that there are monsters and monsters in Shu County who are confused by the people. According to the opinions of the weak ministers, it should be that these monsters and humans are causing trouble to the people, and the people in Shu County are living in poverty!"

Several officials immediately came out: "What Lord Shangshu said is very true."

"Your Majesty asks the governor of Shu County to strictly investigate the monsters among the people. Once arrested, severely punish them without lending!"

"Your Majesty is the great virtue, and the people are fortunate. As you have said, the difficulty of Shu County is not in the court and the troublemakers!"

Emperor Taishou said unhappily: "The people are not wise, where are there no unruly people? But the people are the foundation of the country and the country. The unruly people are also the people, and the country and the country. If heaven loves the people, they should not punish the people in the whole country and the country."

"If I send an order to go to Shu County, I will investigate the people strictly. I am afraid that the entire Shu County will be in chaos. Those who are arrested, punished and imprisoned will be really a demon who arouses the people? I am afraid that most of them are innocent people, right?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Taizun shook his head: "You can't do this. If I really do this, I will be a monarch without virtue."

Lang Zhihuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials said in unison.

Emperor Taishou waved his hand: "If I were truly wise, why would the heaven punish me and punish the people?"

Wu Polu said: "Your Majesty, is it because the governance of Shu County is different? Some people want to cause trouble in Shu County, so the Cang Tian took his anger to the people of the whole county?"

The Minister of Personnel said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible. Kong Shengfei, the governor of Shu County, was a descendant of the sage. His official is the most clear about his character and integrity. However, he may be noble and arrogant, but he is loyal to the court and loves the people as much as his son."

Some people also nodded: "Yes, sir, I don't know. Since Lord Kong went to Shu County, his salary and income have been replaced by good breeds and cattle and horses to help poor families!"

Wu Polu said: "It is not just the county magistrate of Shu County, it is also the fief of King Zhen."

"Bold!" Emperor Taishou Longyan was furious, "What does General Zhengbei mean?"

Wu Polu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty calmed down. The general had no other intention. The general just wanted to help the emperor solve his problems!"

Emperor Taishou said coldly: "King Zhen is my younger brother. You know Kong Shengfei's character. Can I not understand my younger brother's character?"

The officials kept saying that they didn't dare.

Emperor Taishou was angry and said, "This matter is temporarily put on hold. The Prime Minister and the court meeting ended. The matter of Shu County is a big deal. Well, the Qinglong King is here too. Maybe there is a drought in Shu County."

The Azure Dragon King in the shadow of the dragon pillar came out to salute: "I will receive the order."

When Emperor Taishou saw him coming out, he smiled and said, "The Qinglong King rarely showed his true face. You are so active today. Do you have something to start? "

The Qinglong King said: "Your Majesty is a brilliant idea. I really have one thing that you need to decide."

"explain."

"The Daweipai Gang in Chang'an City is involved in a serious case. Now the evidence is conclusive and the crime is extremely serious. Letian Jian wants to capture the relevant personnel."

When he heard this, a tall, red-faced old man among the officials was shocked and looked up at him in shock.

"Daweipai Gang," Emperor Taishou reached out and knocked on the armrest of the dragon chaise and asked, "What crime did they commit?"

The Qinglong King said: "With Xing Tianji, together with Xing Tianji, abducting and selling children and women from all over the country."

The old man with a red face walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the Daweipai Gang has some relationship with Weichen. When it comes to this gang, Weichen shouldn't have interrupted it, but Weichen is familiar with the inside story of this gang, so he can't help but want to say a few words."

Emperor Taishou looked at him with interest and said, "Sir Xu, please tell me."

The old man with red face was Xu Feng, the Minister of Rites. He said passionately: "The Daweipai Gang followed Taizu when he raised his army. He made great contributions to the dragon and was praised by Taizu several times."

"But this row of gangs did not take credit and were proud. After Taizu established his capital, they rushed over and transported food, vegetables and other supplies to the capital from the water. They would transport whatever the capital needed. In the past fifty years, there had never been any major mistakes."

"In this case, the Daweipai Gang is backed by the capital and has the power to make money with the help of waterways. Why does it take for it to violate the national law?"

Wu Polu asked curiously: "Yes, Lord Xu, why do they violate national laws?"

Xu Qing was stunned and said, "What is the intention of General Zhengbei? I didn't say that they violated the national law."

Wu Polu said apologetically: "So that's it, Mo Jiang is sorry. Because the Qinglong King said just now that there was conclusive evidence from the Heavenly Prison. Lord Xu, you said you know this Dawei Pai Gang very well. Mo Jiang thought you were going to come out to expose the illegal acts of the Dawei Pai Gang."

Xu Qing said angrily: "The Dawei Pai Gang abides by the law, is loyal to the court, and is loyal to His Majesty. How could they do anything illegal?"

Emperor Taishou said: "But the Qinglong King said that Tingtianjian has already obtained evidence of their illegal acts. In this way, is Tingtianjian wrongly investigating the case? Did they make a mistake?"

Xu Xu hurriedly said, "I dare not. I am not the case. I am saying - is there any misunderstanding in this matter?"

Zhou Jun, another minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked out and said, "Is there a misunderstanding? Let the Tingtianjian check carefully and then you can clearly understand it? Sir, are you right?"

A senior citizen walked out and said, "Mr. Zhou is such a bad word. The Dawei Pai Gang has made contributions to the Long, and it is also a contribution to maintaining the peace of the people of Chang'an Prefecture. Is it inappropriate to investigate and punish such loyal and honest meritorious people rashly?"

Another censor said hesitantly: "Your Majesty is a clear understanding. Master Xu, the Minister of Rites, said just now. This great power gang can easily make money by holding the waterways of the world. How could they violate national laws for a little money?"

"Maybe it's not for money?" Zhou Jun guessed.

Xu Wei turned his head and glared at him, holding his fist to go up and hammer him.

The Dawei Pai Gang is a big gang, involving many interest groups, but the Tianxia Pai Gang is more, and it is a big deal to supply Chang'an City, so there are many people who want to interfere in this business.

There was a noise beginning to be on the main hall.

Emperor Taishou listened for a while with interest, and then felt annoyed and began to frown.

Although the officials were quarreling, everyone was secretly watching the emperor. When he frowned, everyone immediately shut up.

This is the power of the emperor.

Emperor Taishou thought for a while and said, "Eunuch Wan, you like the most rumor. There is a turbulent movement in Chang'an City, and it can't be hidden from your eyes and ears, so I want to hear your opinions on this matter."

When Xu Feng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This wave is stable.
