Chapter 27 kowtow

On the day after the full moon banquet, Ji Shen made an exception to hold a big dynasty - he wanted to sleep three poles in the Yongchun Palace, but the ministers gathered at Chengtianmen and knelt down from the third night. Even after Nie Yuansheng heard the news, he couldn't sit still. He hurriedly took Zhuo Heng and others to hold the clothes worn by the dynasty and rushed to the Shanlan Hall. .

After Ji Shen was awakened, she heard that it was Nie Yuansheng who came to her, so she swallowed the words of reprimand, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Through the screen, Nie Yuansheng's voice was still calm, but the speed of his speech was one point faster than usual: "Your Majesty, the ministers are now gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, begging your majesty to go to the court to discuss the Nuchuan decision, and ask your majesty to quickly change your clothes and go upstairs and listen to the court to make a holy decision!"

Ji Shen was in a trance and asked, "What's the opening of Nuchuan?"

Nie Yuansheng suffocated and didn't have time to explain. He just said, "On the way, please change your clothes!"

Bu Shunhua was also awakened. She turned her eyes, pushed Ji Shen, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, what Nie Sheren said. Anyway, what's wrong with the court now? Your Majesty doesn't know that Nie Sheren knows best. Your Majesty just go forward with him and ask Nie Sheren to talk about it carefully on the way?"

Her words seem to be helping Nie Yuansheng persuade Ji Shen to rise up. How could Nie Yuansheng not hear that she was implying that she was suspected of manipulating the government and deceiving Ji Shen? I unconsciously narrowed my eyes.

Ji Shen was persuaded by his beloved concubine and trusted ministers to get up. Lei Mo knew the importance of the matter. He personally rushed up with Zhuo Heng and other maids to serve Ji Shen to wash and change his clothes. He wore jade and crowns. Before Nie Yuansheng entered the hall, he ordered people to prepare the emperor's chauff. At this moment, he went directly to Chengtian Gate. On the way, he had a brief analysis with Ji Shen. The matter of Nuchuan's decision roughly speculated about the reason for the trouble of the ministers for a while. Ji Shen was still tired and said lazily, "Zi just do it for him. Now I only vaguely remember such a thing. How can I know what these old guys will say later?"

Seeing him like this, Nie Yuansheng had to sigh and said, "I should try my best."

When we arrived at Chengtian Gate, it was not yet dawn, and the palace lights shone on all four sides, but I saw that the square was full of kneeling ministers. First, several people went off their crowns, holding elephants in their hands, and kneeling first. There were still several people with white hair shining, which was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Ji Shen was young and had good eyesight. At a rough look, he changed his face and asked Nie Yuansheng, who climbed the stairs with him: "Is Jiang Yao and plan over there?"

Nie Yuansheng noticed it for a long time and said lightly, "I think they came here for the sake of planning."

"Two old people!" Ji Shen said with disgust, "Tonight, the ministers will force the court, which must be theirs." At that moment, he ordered Lei Mo, "First, give the two old men 30 canes!"

Lei Mo was shocked and quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Jiang Xiang and Ji Xiang are old, and the thirty-court staff may not be able to stand it!"

Ji Shen kicked him and cursed, "Waste! If not, do you want me to listen to them contempt for you here?"

Jiang Yao and Ji were ordered by the previous emperor to assist the government. Over the years, they have been loyal and famous all over the world. Even the Southern Dynasty heard about it. They are famous figures in history. How can Lei Mo dare to bear the curse of helping Ji Shen beat them to death under Chengtianmen?

Therefore, he only kowtowed and pleaded for mercy, and dared not do it. Nie Yuansheng exhaled and came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, your majesty wants to give Jiang Yao and a staff at the same time, just because he doesn't want to listen to their words. I have a plan that they can't speak."

Ji Shen let go of Lei Mo and said to Nie Yuansheng, "Is it going to be released?"

Seeing Nie Yuansheng wink at Ji Shen and said to Lei Mo, "The prisoner, please announce that the holy driver has arrived!"

Lei Mo straightened his clothes and went to the side of the city tower to announce that the holy driver had arrived. The ministers sang and knocked. Lei Mo wanted to report something, so he heard the old and strong voice of the city gate and shouted harshly: "Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

Ji Shen heard that this was Jiang Yao's voice and frowned. He saw Nie Yuansheng walk to Lei Mo's side and shouted solemnly, "Your Majesty has a life, Nuchuan's decision, which will affect the five counties!" Your Majesty has been sleeping at night and can't sleep. Now the ministers are kowtowing and getting along with each other. They have very feasible suggestions for the disaster of Nuchuan and the current five counties. Hurry up! This is the only thing in today's court, and the rest will be postponed!"

Jiang Yao was originally angry. It has been more than a month since he wanted to settle the mouth of the Sichuan, but Ji Shen did not respond. He only cared about the new concubine and celebrating the birth of the emperor's eldest son. He ignored Li Shu's life and death at all. He didn't want Nie Yuansheng to say a few words, so he forced Ji Shen to come to the court, saying that Ji Shen had convened the ministers to discuss and deal with this matter. Meaning, the last sentence was an excuse for Nuchuan's decision, which suddenly blocked the reasons for the ministers to plead guilty.

Jiang Yao was so angry that his eyes were black!

He was about to get up and scold Nie Yuansheng angrily. He quickly pulled him and said in a low voice, "Five counties are important!" He raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, now the water in Nuchuan has receded, but all the seedlings in the five counties have drowned, and the chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep have not survived! Li Min was displaced, and when he saw starvation in the county, please make a holy decision as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people!"

After a moment of silence, Ji Shen's voice spread with coldness: "To calm the hearts of the people, a few days ago, there was still a book to impeach Hao and Zhan in Yan County for many illegal acts. In the fish village, the Nuchuan's decision were all over to these two families. Not long ago, Hao's middlemen went to Yedu to submit a letter and sue Ji Xiao. Dory and blackmail does not mean to slander his family... At the same time, this trick is your younger generation. At the beginning, when he was the governor of Yan County and you were the right prime minister, what do you have to say?

Hearing this, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to plead guilty because of the matter of the plan!"

Jiang Yao immediately said, "Your Majesty, as Nie She said, today, the purpose of asking your majesty to break the Nuchuan decision, and the rest will be discussed later!"

Nie Yuansheng suggested that Ji Shen seize Nuchuan's decision, but in order to bring back the condemnation of the king, it is not necessary to ask both crimes today. Seeing that Jiang Yao blocked Ji Shen with his own words, he shook his head slightly to Ji Shen and signaled not to continue to investigate the matter of the plan. Ji Deep understanding, coldly: "Holyduan? I live in the palace, and I haven't called people to go to the hall to discuss. You have all joined forces. It can be seen that you are the one who has an idea, right?

Jiang Yao and others were so depressed that they all kowtowed and said, "I dare not!"

However, Lou Wangu came out and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the five counties are very angry now. Ji Xiao, Hao and Zhan each other shirk their responsibilities. In the long run, I'm afraid there will be changes!"

Ji Shen's attention was originally focused on Jiang Yao and Ji, but he didn't notice that Lou Wangu was also there. At this moment, when he heard his voice, he frowned and whispered, "Why did he come?"

Nie Yuansheng was not surprised and said quietly, "Since it is a group of ministers who are kowtowing and led by Jiang and Ji, how can the officials in the court not accept it? I'm afraid that the Chinese martial arts are all here. It can be seen that the Nuchuan Juekou is indeed a lot of things. Mo Ru took this opportunity to deal with the matter and go to the hot spring mountain to escape the summer in a few days.

"So it is." Ji Shen nodded and followed Lou Wangu's words, "I'm very worried about this matter. I don't know what advice do you have?"

-Jiang and tried to ask him to make a holy decision, but Ji Shen blindly asked his ministers. There was nothing he could do. Nie Yuansheng had actually told him several times about the Nuchuan's decision. Otherwise, Ji Shen would not even have an impression. Now his eyes are full of Bu Shunhua and the eldest son of the emperor, and Beiliang is common. Thirty-six counties, five counties, Ji Shen didn't pay attention to it at all.

How can this be broken?

Jiang Yao sighed in his heart that he and Ji had actually been an official for a long time. According to say, he should not have made this head today. However, the governor of Yan County was just a plan. The matter of Nuchuan's decision was also brought to Yan County. It's not that there is no problem with the other five counties, but the Hao family and the Zhan family are huge in these counties, and Ji Xiao refused. When they bowed their heads to them, they had already accumulated a belly full of resentment. How could they not take this opportunity to publicize the incompetence and mediocrity of the plan, so as to drive him out of Yan County and let the later official guard know the power of the two families?

The plan is a nephew. Jiang Yao is also clear about him. To put it nicely, he is a square person. If it's unpleasant, he doesn't know how to be flexible. At the beginning, Jiang Yao did not agree to ask him to go to Yan County. However, Ji Yu insisted on "change the customs" and even insisted on holding on the post of the governor. At that time, Ji Shen did not make trouble. With the matter of today's You Zhaoyi, the two Prime Minister Gu Ming felt that since he was the candidate of the crown prince favored by Emperor Gaozu, he couldn't make a mistake. If he didn't do a good job, he would be punished by downgrading him by several levels at most - and also taught him a lesson.

I didn't expect that this plan was also a bad path, but I caught up with Nuchuan's decision, and even Ji Shen has been evil in recent years. He can't protect him at all, and there is even a trend that it will implicate him.

"The most important thing nowadays is to appease the people." Jiang Yao said that he had a serious illness last spring. Although he took the opportunity to serve, he had worked hard for many years and was indeed not in good health. Today, he knocked and knelt down for a long time. He hurriedly supported him and said on his behalf, "Not only to appease the people, but also to observe the officials of the five counties. After all, Nuchuan's disaster has hit the five counties. The surrounding counties are lower than the five counties, but they are all fine. It can be seen that there are many corrupt and mediocre officials in the five counties. Now I have been trying to plead guilty on behalf of them. Please send Feihe to guard him and submit them to the public for trial!"

At the same time, this is to destroy the relatives. If the plan is not investigated, they will be escorted back to Yedu first. Will the rest of the officials be okay?

Ji Shen looked at Nie Yuansheng and saw him nodding, so she said, "Just do it."

"Please also send angels to the five counties to appease the hearts of the people and observe the rule of officials." Jiang Yao closed his eyes and refreshed. At this moment, he took over the topic and said, "In order not to breed exiles and bandits and shake the foundation of the country!"

Ji Shen's most impatient thing is to listen to their alarmist words such as shaking the foundation of the country, but Jiang Yao's suggestion was also reasonable, and he said coldly, "Since you already have an idea, why do you come to do this? What do you ministers do to raise your salaries? Let's do it!"

"This angel candidate..." Jiang Yao coughed a few times in the night wind, looked deep at the city gate, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please take charge of Nie She!"
