Chapter 348: Impeaching the Prince (2)
"Hmph, this old man must have been tired from work last night, and the matter of the prince must have something to do with him. This prince is also too unsatisfactory, he can't handle even a trivial matter, and whether he can rule the world in the future is still uncertain. ." Ximen He was quite worried about the prince, but in fact he was also worried about the future of the Ximen family.
Ximen He can put all his bets on the crown prince. If the crown prince cannot ascend the throne in the future, then the Ximen family will suffer a lot, and maybe they will stay away from the political core from now on. No wonder Ximenhe didn't worry, this prince was impeached by the courtiers every three or five days, even Ximenhe couldn't stand it himself, let alone Longren.
Although Longren has always loved Longying very much, but if Longying and the ministers turn against each other, Longren will definitely abolish the prince and make other princes for the sake of the Zilong Empire. If other princes ascended the throne and gained the support of the other three families, then the Zilong Empire would really have no place for the Ximen family.
"There are rumors about this in the market. I really didn't hear it before. Prime Minister, is it true or false?"
Royal spies are no trivial matter, and they can't get in. Such important information has already been sent to the palace. It's just that Longren stayed up too late last night, so he woke up too late today, and after a quick shower, he came to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet the ministers. Therefore, Longren really hadn't heard of this. If Longren had known about it early, he could have made some preparations. He was not so rushed and passive as he was now, and he could only take one step at a time.
Ximen He was thinking about something on his mind, when he heard Longren calling him, he immediately woke up, walked out of the shift, and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen just finished breakfast this morning and rushed over in a hurry. I have never heard of this. However, Wei Chen has something to say. The commoners have the leisure to pay attention to these rumors. This shows that they are well-fed and happy. It also indirectly shows that under His Majesty’s rule, our Zilong Empire is prosperous and prosperous, making other empires prosperous and strong. I don't dare to compare with him. Wei Chen said one last word, the rumors are not credible."
The other ministers despised Ximen He, as long as everyone likes to hear those rumors, even the important ministers of the empire are no exception. Oh, common people like to hear some rumors, saying that people are well-fed and living happily. If you say this, who will believe it, only a cheeky person like Ximen He will say it.
It is true that rumors are not credible, but they are not all credible. There must be real information.
"Oh? It turns out that the prime minister is just like me. I have never heard of it. It seems that this matter cannot be taken seriously. It must be someone with ulterior motives who framed and attacked the prince. Bai Aiqing should not pursue it any more, and do not want to be used by villains." Long Ren still wants to protect the prince, there is no way who can call the prince his favorite son, not to favor him.
"Your Majesty's remarks, Wei Chen does not agree. The rumors are not groundless, this matter should be investigated by the Ministry of Justice." Bai Gao is a stubborn temper. Therefore, he was the most diligent in impeaching the prince.
Yongren couldn't, so he had to cast his eyes on the other ministers for help. The other ministers bowed their heads, while the most arrogant ministers closed their eyes and wandered. An angry Longren kept cursing in his heart, angry that they were more comfortable than himself in the court, and that he was irritated and burdened here, but they were It's good, stop over there and don't ask anything.
At this time, Nangong Xiong came out and said to Long Ren, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has also heard about it, and I don't know if it should be played to your Majesty."
Long Ren originally thought that Nangong Xiong stood up and said good things for himself, but who knows he is the same as Bai Gao, but since everyone has stood up, he must be allowed to speak, so Long Ren waved his hand and said: "But It doesn't matter. I am very curious to see what rumors you have heard today."
Nangong Xiong glanced at Long Ren, and said, "I heard that He Zhang, the deputy general of the city defense army, was shot and wounded, and he almost died, and then escaped to the old duke's mansion. That's why the old duke was busy until midnight and didn't rest for a while, so he's in a bad mood today."
Considering Ye Jiantian's cultivation base is that he does not sleep for three days and three nights, he is still full of energy. Everyone thought that Nangong Xiong was the most honest, but none of them thought that it was hidden, so the kung fu and the nonsense with open eyes. Ximen Crane has a bit of a fight.
"He Zhang... He Zhang..." Long Ren whispered a few times before he remembered who He Zhang was.
"He Zhang, I remember this person. He was the one who found the prince last time. Originally, I wanted to reward him, but I forgot about it when I got busy. By the way, you said that He Zhang was shot and wounded, and he was almost injured. It is deadly. It is really unreasonable. He Zhang has contributed to the empire, and there are thieves who dare to attack important officials of the court. This matter must be investigated to the end, and I will not tolerate it."
Longren is really on fire. Recently, there have been high cases. First, the Mu family was attacked, and then some private houses of the fifth prince were bloodbathed. Now someone dares to attack the generals of the empire. Kill the chickens to show the monkeys and let these restless people stop for a while.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen also heard that the person who shot and wounded General He Zhang was Wu Rui." Nangong Xiongyi said.
"Wu Rui, who is this Wu Rui?" Long Ren asked. Wu Rui was the crown prince who had just been promoted to be the deputy general of the city defense, and it was normal that Yongren did not know this person.
"Go back to your majesty, this person is also the deputy general of the city defense army. He was personally promoted by His Royal Highness the Prince not long ago, and he just wanted to shoot and kill General He Zhang for some reason." Nangong Xiong replied.
"Huh? There is such a thing It's really daring to come and summon Wu Rui to the court." Longren said angrily.
"No need, Your Majesty, Wu Rui has been captured by the old minister and is now being held outside the Xuanzheng Hall." At this moment, Ye Jiantian, who had been bowing his head and closing his eyes, opened his eyes and said to Long Ren. The little **** who was about to start leaving also returned to his original position, while the other ministers lowered their heads even lower, not daring to say a word.
"Ye Jiantian, you are so brave, Wu Rui is an important official of the empire, you are detaining him without authorization, do you want to rebel?" Ximenhe heard that Wu Rui had been captured by Ye Jiantian, and he thought that this matter was broken, so he didn't care about it. A hat of rebellion was buckled on Ye Jiantian's head.
Ye Jiantian chuckled twice, then looked at Ximen He and said, "Wu Rui privately mobilized the city defense army, which is the first crime; shooting and killing a general of the same level for no reason, this is the second crime. If this old man takes this man, what does the prime minister think? Is it wrong?"
