Chapter 64: The government and the country are shocked

Not only Empress Dowager Dou thinks so, but even Emperor Jing thinks so. Looking at the world, it is not difficult to guess that no one except King Liang has such courage.

Emperor Jing’s feelings for this younger brother were very complicated. King Liang was determined to fight for the throne and was arrogant. Emperor Jing was very dissatisfied and hated him so much. However, this was his own younger brother. He had a big time together when he was a child, and his brotherhood was still good. Therefore, Emperor Jing loved and hated King Liang.

No matter how much Emperor Jing hated him, he was unwilling to do such a thing. You should know that Emperor Jing could tolerate King Liang's fight for the throne, and could tolerate King Liang's devils for him, but he could not tolerate such things.

Although it is a minister to be a minister, to put it bluntly, it is a slave. However, the minister is the emperor's right-hand man. Without ministers, how can we govern the world? Once this matter occurs, it will inevitably be a shock to the court and the country, and everyone in the world is watching Emperor Jing, to see if Emperor Jing can deal with it according to law.

If Emperor Jing dealt with it according to law, everything would be over. However, this would hurt the affection between the flesh and blood and the relatives of brothers, Emperor Jing would not be willing to do this.

If Emperor Jing did not deal with it according to law, this matter would be very big, to an unimaginable extent. There must be many ministers in the court resigned, not half of them, and they are not far behind. The ministers have very good reasons. If they are officials in the court, they cannot even save their lives. If they are innocent, who dares to be an official? It is better to work hard in the fields to at least protect their lives.

Once so many officials resign and leave, the court will be vacant. Who will deal with the government affairs?

If this situation really happens, it is not something that can be explained by the shock of the government and the public. Emperor Jing's efforts and Zhou Yang's great victory last year will be defeated, and the Han Empire will experience an unimaginable regression.

Not to mention the great achievements of recapturing Baiyue, defeating the Huns, and destroying Donghu.

It can be said that the Han Empire is already at a crossroads. Where the Han Empire goes depends on whether Emperor Jing’s treatment can convince the people of the world.

"emperor!"

A clear and wise voice sounded, and Mr. Shen rushed in with blood in his arms. He knelt on the ground from a distance, kowtowed to Emperor Jing, and said nothing.

Duke Shen didn't speak, and it was more powerful than speaking. Emperor Jing was dizzy. The bowl of porridge in his hand fell to the ground, smashing it, and the porridge water splashed everywhere.

"He is... so bold! He dares to attack Mr. Shen!" Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but fall on the soft couch.

As soon as this happened, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't bear it, and could not protect King Liang. Although King Liang was so close, he was not as good as the Han world and could not calm down the resentment of the ministers, so he had no choice but to kill King Liang.

Although Empress Dowager Dou gave up on her idea of ​​having sex with her brother, her love for King Liang did not decrease at all, but on the contrary, it was even more than a few points. If King Liang was killed, it would be similar to chopping her head.

"Emperor!" Dong Zhongshu and Yan Zhu rushed in in a hurry.

Yan Zhu was covered in blood, and Dong Zhongshu was fine, but he had no blood. It seemed that he was lucky and had not met an assassin.

"You are all assassinated?" Emperor Jing was shocked and was extremely reluctant to ask, but he had to ask.

"The emperor is wise!" Yan Zhu and Dong Zhongshu answered in unison.

"Fortunately, Lord Yan almost died as the assassin, please let the emperor take charge!" Dong Zhongshu gasped and said, "Lord Yan almost died as the assassin. Please take the emperor as the master!"

"This, this..." Emperor Jing has been the emperor for so many years and has dealt with countless state and military affairs, so he has not been so powerless. He stuttered for a long time, but there was no following.

"emperor!"

Just as Emperor Jing was helpless, a noise sounded, and a group of ministers rushed in, some with blood on their bodies, while others looked panicked. They knelt down at Emperor Jing, and kept kowtowing and said nothing.

“…”

Emperor Jing pointed at the ministers, his throat gusting, but he couldn't speak.

"Emperor, the most important thing for today's plan is to protect the ministers. I ask the emperor to issue an order to ask officials of more than a thousand stones to enter the palace and then send heavy troops to protect them!" The master Yan did not panic and responded calmly.

"Yes, yes!" Emperor Jing immediately agreed: "Issuing an order, asking officials of more than a thousand stones to enter the palace, and asking them to wait in the Xuanshi Hall. Then I sent an order to Zhou Yafu, asking him to dispatch two troops from Xiliu and Bashang to close the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter and exit, and the whole city is in a big rope."

So many ministers were assassinated and were in full force. The criminals must be eliminated, otherwise the ministers would not be safe.

"How many people were assassinated?" Emperor Jing started asking after dealing with the important matter.

It was really unclear how many people were assassinated, how many were injured, and how many died. Shen Gong and the others were reluctant to ask for their orders, so they hurriedly got up and helped to investigate. After an investigation, more than 30 ministers were assassinated overnight, eight ministers died, thirteen seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

In history, King Liang was blocked by the throne-fighting, and was so angry that he killed more than 20 ministers. The Lord's father Yan saw the opportunity very quickly and dealt with it properly, only eight died, which was lucky.

However, even eight deaths were horrifying. There has been no such thing since Pangu opened the world. The incident of King Liang assassinating ministers in the court was the only time in Chinese history, and this was caused by Empress Dowager Dou being too arrogant.

These ministers are old and young, and have long and short years of official careers, but they have one thing in common, that is, they strongly oppose the King of Liang's fight for the throne. Those who do not oppose the King of Liang's fight for the throne are fine, and they have not lost a single hair.

Previously, Emperor Jing was just suspicious. Now, it is certain that it was King Liang who took action, and there is only evidence.

"Hurry up, Chuan Gong Cang will treat their injuries." Emperor Jing was shocked: "It's so bold! It's so bold!"

Only these four words can describe how brave he is in this move.

"Zhidu!" Emperor Jing looked at Zhidu who was kneeling in front of him.

Zhidu's face was pale and his body was shaking. He almost fell to the ground and said softly: "I know my crime!"

Zhidu enforced the law like a mountain, and did not avoid punishment from nobles and relatives, and he didn't know what fear was. However, this fact was too great. As the prefect of Jingzhao, he neglected to prevent it. Emperor Jing wanted to punish him and confiscate his family and even kill the nine clans, but he could not defend himself.

"You are innocent!" Emperor Jing dispelled Zhidu's doubts: "Although you are negligent in preventing things, this kind of thing is horrifying. No one has ever thought of it since Pangu's founding. No one dares to think about it. Go quickly and work with Zhou Yafu to search the whole city, catch the evil people, and find the envoy behind the scenes!"

Although Emperor Jing was not punished, Zhidu was still scared to death and his body was trembling a little.

"Zhidu, you do not avoid nobles and relatives. No matter who you involve this matter, you must handle it impartially and not favoritism!" Emperor Jing's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice.

"No!" Zhidu responded hurriedly.

"You need iron proof! You need iron proof!" Empress Dowager Dou knew very well that Zhidu was a human being, and that punishments did not avoid noble relatives. Even King Liang was useless. She was really worried about King Liang, so she raised her head and gave a reminder.

"Yes! I need to prove it!" Emperor Jing agreed with this.

Although Emperor Jing was sure that it was done by King Liang, he was his brother and he would never want it to be done by King Liang unless he found ironclad evidence.

Deciding a case is originally a saying of evidence, and it is appropriate to find ironclad evidence, and the ministers had no objection, so the matter was settled like this.

Emperor Jing asked the ministers to rest and quickly rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as he left Changxin Palace, Emperor Jing said, "Chuntuo, hurry up and invite Mr. Ling. Then invite the Hero of Ju Meng!"

"No!" Such a shocking thing happened, Emperor Jing must have found out. Chuntuo dared not say too much. He responded and trotted.

Emperor Jing rushed to the Yangxin Palace and, as soon as he entered the hall, he cursed: "Three, you are confused! You are so brave! You are doing something wrong! You have leaked the sky! Even if I want to protect you, I can't protect you! Third, Third, what's the best for me? "

As he spoke, tears burst out from Emperor Jing's eyes, and scenes of playing intimately with King Liang's childhood appeared in his mind. At that time, the brothers at that time had no power struggle, respect each other, and lived in harmony. How happy and unforgettable it was.

Things in the world are unpredictable. How many years have passed? Brothers have fought openly and secretly for their respective powers.

"Ah!" Emperor Jing sighed.

"See the Emperor!" Ling Su and Ju Meng quickly entered the Yangxin Palace and saluted Emperor Jing.

"The Hero of the Ju!" Emperor Jing glanced at the two of them, and finally fell on Ju Meng, asking, "The Hero of the Ju, you said that you want to assassinate more than 30 ministers overnight, who is so capable? More than 30 ministers!"

Assassination is not so easy to carry out. It is very terrifying to attack more than thirty ministers overnight. This man is quite capable.

"Report to the emperor, there is only one person who has such power, that is the hero Guo Jie of the martial arts world!" Ju Meng Hongsheng replied.

"Guo Jie!" Emperor Jing gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists: "The master Yan said that he was powerful and rampant, but I still didn't believe it. I thought it was Master Yan's exaggeration and exaggeration. It seemed that it was my fault that I was wrong!"

"Emperor, Guo Jie has been rampant in the world for decades and is extremely powerful, and it will not be achieved overnight." Drum Meng Kuan Jie Emperor Jing.

"I still cannot refuse to blame the hero Xie Ju excused him." Emperor Jing frowned: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been peaceful in the Han family and can govern the world without doing anything, but it is a big mistake. The Han family can no longer govern the world without doing anything, but must govern with action, especially these powerful people, which must be eradicated. Why did King Liang get involved with Guo Jie?"

"Report to the emperor, Guo Jie has been in the Liang Palace these days." Ling Su reported: "Guo Jie is a man with a hero who is very powerful, and the princes and kings are competing to join forces. As far as we know, Liang has been making friends with Guo Jie, and the two have deep friendship. If the King of Liang is not angry, Guo Jie will definitely take action. With Guo Jie's power, only one word is required, the heroes of the Jianghu will definitely serve, and it is not surprising that the assassination of the ministers is."

"It's not surprising? It's horrifying!" Emperor Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I want to kill the nine tribes of Guo Jie! Whether he is involved in this matter or not! Can you two know where Guo Jie is, where his family is, and who have his subordinates?"

This kind of thing in the world is really the right person to ask about the opera Meng and Ling Su.

Ling Su looked at Ju Meng and said nothing, that was to let Ju Meng speak. Ju Meng did not refuse: "Emperor, Guo Jie, a native of Hanoi, his father was a hero, and was killed by the late emperor. He had nine disciples, and the most proud of them were Chu Qiao, the Fifth Qi and Han Feng. He was scattered his family's wealth openly and made friends with people all over the world, but in fact he made money secretly. He had 100,000 hectares of fertile land and countless real estate."

Ju Meng knew Guo Jie very well and told him one by one. He knew where Guo Jie had land, where real estate, and who had close relationship with Guo Jie.

"I sent an order to lead the troops immediately to capture Guo Jie's family, relatives and friends!" Emperor Jing was full of murderous intent in the tiger's eyes: "This time, even if the blood flows into a river, I will do whatever I want!"

Feng Jing came and received the order and left.

"The master of the opera, Mr. Ling, Guo Jie is a man in the world. He is so arrogant that ordinary soldiers are useless to him. I want to ask the two to mobilize the political heroes to take action and arrest Guo Jie." Emperor Jing frowned, as if the sword was unsheathed, and murderous intent surged.

"Meng the Emperor will not abandon him, so I should do my best." Ju Mengwei bowed and said, "But Guo Jie is very skilled in martial arts and is alert, so the opportunity to seize him is not too great."

"Even if he escapes to the cape of Tianya, he will still catch him!" Emperor Jing was really popular this time.

The night is dark, and Chang'an is dark.

Before the palace was raised, it was brightly lit. The soldiers were guarding like an iron barrel.

In the Xuanshi Hall, a group of ministers were lying on the ground to sleep. The rooms in the palace were not a problem, but the problem was that once they were dispersed, it would be difficult to protect. Therefore, Emperor Jing wanted all the ministers to stay in the Xuanshi Hall, and except for those who were particularly old, they were all concentrated here. At night, the soldiers brought bedding and the ministers lay on the ground and fell asleep.

The ministers fell asleep, but Emperor Jing did not sleep. At this time, Emperor Jing was listening to the report of Zhou Yafu and Zhidu in the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Jing had his eyebrows locked, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How are you looking for it?"

"Reported to the Emperor, he captured more than fifty evil men, and they unanimously confessed that they came to assassinate the Taiwei, Zhou Yang, Shen Gong, Zhufu Yan, Dong Zhongshu, Yan Zhu, and the minister who prevented the King of Liang as the legitimate ones." Zhidu reported, very careful.

This matter involves King Liang, which is expected, but even so, it is still impossible to directly link King Liang to this matter. Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any news about Guo Jie?"

"Report to the emperor, you haven't caught it yet." Zhou Yafu hurriedly reported.

"You must catch Guo Jie before you can convict!" Emperor Jing said heavy.

"No!" Guo Jie was the master of the mission. If he didn't catch him, he could not be sure that the matter was done by King Liang. Although it was certain that King Liang did it, there was no evidence to convict.

"You guys go and do your business!" Emperor Jing waved his hand.

Zhou Yafu and Zhidu responded and bowed.

"The third brother!" Emperor Jing sighed, stood up, quickly walked out of the Yangxin Palace, and headed straight for Changxin Palace.

As soon as I arrived at Changxin Palace, before I could enter the palace, I heard the voice of Empress Dowager Dou: "Is it the Emperor?"

Although it was late at night, it was important to the great-grandmother Dou, so she could not sleep. She was leaning against the soft couch, waiting for the news.

"The emperor has seen his mother!" Emperor Jing quickly stepped in and greeted Empress Dowager Dou.

"Your Majesty, have you found out? Who did you do it?" Empress Dowager Dou sat up with support, her voice trembling.

This moment is the moment when it concerns King Liang's life, how can she not be nervous?

Emperor Jing hurriedly supported Empress Dowager Dou and said, "It was the hero Guo who took it away."

"Guo Jie?" Empress Dowager Dou frowned and said, "Although I am in the deep palace, I have heard of this man. His father is also a hero in the martial arts world, and he killed the late emperor. He did not learn from his lessons and did such a shocking thing, and he should kill him!"

He frowned and asked, "But, the minister in the court did not call him or provoke him. He was his gangster. Why did he suddenly kill the minister in the court?"

"Mother, according to the heroes who were caught, Guo Jie passed on some sects and asked them to come to Chang'an and assassinate Zhou Yafu and Zhou Yang..." Emperor Jing interrupted Empress Dowager Dou as soon as he started his words.

"What? He wants to kill Zhou Yang?" Zhou Yang loved this person very much, and she loved her granddaughter Princess Nangong's fiancé. She naturally cared about it: "Is there anything wrong with Zhou Yang? Tell me quickly."

"Mother, don't worry, Zhou Yang is in a secret place, and there are not many ministers in the court. No matter how capable Guo Jie is, he cannot find Zhou Yang's place." Chen Cang Valley is extremely secret and not so easy to investigate.

"Then you can't be careless. You have to send someone to send a letter to Zhou Yang and ask him to be careful." Empress Dowager Dou was still worried.

"My mother, please remind me that the emperor will do whatever he wants." Emperor Jing thought to himself that Zhou Yang was included in the list of must-killers. Although he was safe in the valley, he would still take care of Zhou Yang and be careful.

"There are also Duke Shen, Dong Zhongshu, Master Yan, Yan Zhu, Yuan Ang, and ministers in the court who opposed the King of Liang's throne..." Emperor Jing's words interrupted the roar of Empress Dowager Dou.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! A Wu understands the truth and will not do such a despicable thing!" Empress Dowager Dou was anxious and grabbed Emperor Jing's hand tightly and said, "Master, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Mother, please be content." Emperor Jing understood Empress Dou's mood very much and was busy comforting: "Although the third brother is arrogant, he is also a sensible person and will never do such a thing."

Shaking his head, I wouldn't believe this.

What Empress Dowager Dou most reluctant to accept was that King Liang was related to this matter. Emperor Jing said this was what she wanted to hear the most now. However, she did not express any of it.

Although this is beautiful, it is a lie. As long as you are not a fool, you will understand why Guo Jie stood up for the King of Liang and did such a despicable thing for no reason? That is because he was approved by King of Liang.

Emperor Jing thought of this level, Zhidu also thought of it, even Zhou Yafu also thought of it, could Empress Dowager Dou not think of it?

This is the fact that she is most reluctant to accept, but if she doesn't accept it, she is lying to herself. Empress Dowager Dou is also a sensible person and has not spoken for a long time.

"Mother Queen, Mother Queen." What Emperor Jing feared most was that she couldn't think so and hurriedly called.

"Your Majesty, your family has rules and the state has national laws. You can do what you should do!" Empress Dowager Dou's voice was extremely low, like a mosquito. If Emperor Jing hadn't had a very good earlobe, he wouldn't have heard it.

After saying this, Empress Dowager Dou seemed to have become much older and fell down softly. Emperor Jing hurriedly supported him.

"My mother, don't think so much. Guo Jie hasn't caught it yet. Maybe it was something Guo Jie did in a daze." Emperor Jing hurriedly persuaded.

Who would believe this?
