Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2992 Royal position

The soldiers of Zuo Tunwei started clamoring one after another. Although they were afraid of the power of the "Hundred Knights", they refused to take a step back and let the other side easily take away their commander.

Everyone knows what this scale of investigation means. Maybe his own commander-in-chief is gone forever. Of course, he won't be exiled into the army, but it is very possible to deprive him of his military position and confine him to the mansion.Unity is the most important thing in the army. Chai Zhewei has been in charge of Zuo Tunwei for several years, and he still has basic prestige. How can he not put pressure on the "Hundred Riders" at this time, so that they are afraid and dare not act recklessly?
At the very least, this "Maintenance Chief" posture should come out...

Hundreds of people clamored together, although many of them pretended to be fake, the momentum was amazing. Dozens of people from the "Hundred Knights" and officials temporarily dispatched by various yamen to investigate the case were surrounded, like a small sampan in a torrent, which seemed to be in danger of overturning in an instant. These officials were all civilians. Experienced such a scene?Immediately, his face turned green with fright, his lips turned pale, and he shivered.

Li Junxian was not afraid at all, turned his head and stared majestically at the fluctuating officials, then turned his head to look at Chai Zhewei, and said indifferently: "The state has state laws, and the army has military regulations. What a crime it is to incite soldiers to fight against the court. Duke Qiao must be clear in his heart. Since he is clear, but he still wants to do this, Duke Qiao wants to kill the last general here, and then Xiao gathers his troops, will rebellion and rebellion not work?"

The soldiers were startled, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Rebellion and treason... Who deserves this crime?Everyone is just the soldiers of the Fanshang, the whole family, young and old, who took the wrong medicine and followed Chai Zhewei to commit such a great crime of destroying the three clans?

Not only can it not be committed, but even such misunderstandings cannot be...

Chai Zhewei's complexion gradually recovered. This was the scene that he had expected when he set the fire. The fire outside the Xuanwu Gate prevented the imperial court from inspecting Zuo Tunwei. Empire?
Even His Majesty Li Er would not dare to contradict the laws and regulations of the country...

Taking a deep breath, Chai Zhewei stared at the surrounding soldiers and shouted sharply: "What are you doing? Back off! Although the fire was just an accident, it affected the public security in the capital after all, and made people in Chang'an city panic. It is necessary to accept the investigation! This commander is innocent and has a clear conscience. It's just a casual investigation, but if you are here to make a noise, who can believe that the commander-in-chief has not done anything? They all went back to the camp honestly, they should sleep, they should practice and practice, and no one is allowed to cause trouble in life! Otherwise, don't blame the military law for being ruthless!"

"promise!"

The soldiers quickly responded to their orders, and then gradually retreated to their barracks under the leadership of their respective brigade commanders.

Only then did Chai Zhewei envy Li Jun: "I will not make it difficult for General Li. The fire in the account room is my responsibility. I am willing to accept any punishment from the court."

Li Junxian was expressionless, turned slightly sideways, and said: "Then please."

Chai Zhewei nodded, turned his head and told You Wenzhi: "We must fully cooperate with the investigation, and we must not make any excuses, otherwise the commander will take you for questioning!"

"No! Commander, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation and appease the morale of the army."

Chai Zhewei nodded and said to Li Junxian: "Let's go."

At the moment when he walked to the gate of the camp with big strides, his own soldiers had already brought their horses. Under the escort of a group of "Hundred Cavalry Divisions", he left the camp and returned to the Chang'an City mansion, without going out behind closed doors.

*****
The next morning, it was cloudy and rainy.

On the tenth day, the court meeting.

Early in the morning, all the gates of the workshops were opened, and carriages with lanterns on them drove out of the workshops, and gradually gathered outside the Chengtian Gate along the vertical and horizontal streets, waiting for the court.

The drizzle did not cut off the enthusiasm of the ministers to greet each other. Twos and threes got together in a carriage, ate a few snacks, and discussed what happened last night.

Well, you definitely don’t dare to drink tea. The court meeting is second only to sacrificial rituals. It is very disrespectful to ask for leave halfway to make things easier...

Last night in Chang'an City, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and soldiers from all over the place were patrolling along the streets. The soldiers coming and going on the streets and alleys held torches in their hands, like a large army pressing down on the territory, which made people feel extremely suffocated.

At such a sensitive moment as the emperor's personal conquest, the slightest abnormality may trigger a huge chain reaction, especially when many people heard that the cause of the incident was the fire in the Zuo Tunwei barracks outside the Xuanwu Gate, which made everyone panic.

In the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" blood flowed like rivers, how many nobles in Chang'an City were trampled by iron cavalry and humbled like dogs, now it's only a dozen years, who can forget it so completely?

Any change in the Xuanwu Gate is enough to affect the hearts of everyone in Chang'an City...

Fortunately, after a night of panic, as the rain fell before dawn, all the irritability and worries were completely extinguished, leaving only a mess.

After a while, the drums sounded, and the gate of Chengtianmen was opened. A group of forbidden soldiers ran out of the gate and lined up on the left and right. Several servants also came out, leading the ministers into the palace, and went to the Taiji Hall to pay their respects.

Fang Jun walked side by side with Ma Zhou and Li Daozong, walking among the crowd, looking around, and glanced at the faces of a group of Guanlong officials, but he didn't notice that they were too nervous.

Chai Zhewei is the general who is closest to the nobles of Guanlong. Now that they are facing such a crisis, it is impossible for these families not to receive the news, so their indifferent appearance is somewhat puzzling.

Is it because they believe that Chai Zhewei must be fine, or have they already given up on Chai Zhewei, a general who is not from Guanlong but supports Guanlong's lineage?
Or is it that after Changsun Wuji went to Liaodong, today's Guanlong nobles have no leader and have fallen into a state of silo and on the verge of collapse?
……

At this time, the sky was still not bright, and it was cloudy and rainy again. The Taiji Hall was lit with candles, shining brilliantly.

The ministers filed into the hall, Wendongwuxi, lined up according to rank and title, the officials in the front row had a cushion behind them, they could kneel and sit up, and the officials in the back also had cushions, but it was a long strip of several people Cushion, shared by several people.

But I can't sit down right now, as His Royal Highness hasn't entered the hall yet.

Not long after, Prince Li Chengqian walked out of the apse slowly, dressed in a bean suit, with a red shirt on top, a white silk lower garment, a black belt with jade, a small ribbon, a pair of pendants, and a leather bean crown made of deerskin on his head. , the front is high and the back is low, with pearls, jade and gemstones in the gaps, and the ears are embroidered, and the meeting is like a star.

When he came to Yubi, Li Chengqian stood calmly, looked down at the ministers from a high position, waited for the ministers to bow and salute, and then said: "Everyone loves you."

Then he lifted his robes and knelt on top of Yubi, behind a slightly shorter table on the side of the throne.

Although he replaced the emperor to oversee the country and took charge of the supreme power of the empire for the time being, he was still not the emperor after all, and the throne on it was absolutely unacceptable...

Normally, Li Chengqian was allowed by His Majesty Li Er to go to court and participate in the affairs of Yu Dynasty, so although it was the first time to hold a court meeting as the prince of Jian Guo, he was not cautious.

The underground ministers are in accordance with their grades, and those who have a playbook will submit the playbook first, and then they will go out to play, explaining in detail the urgent matters that need to be resolved in the department, or the prince will decide with one word, or call a group of ministers to discuss and discuss , The meeting went very smoothly.

Although due to the emperor's personal expedition, nearly a million troops have already begun to attack Liaodong, and all kinds of affairs are prosperous and complicated, but because the preparations for this Eastern Expedition have been nearly two years old, each department has long been familiar with their own affairs. And a detailed plan was made, so not long after the war started, there were not many urgent matters that were difficult to decide, and they needed to be discussed at the court meeting.

For each yamen, it is ideal to be able to digest any difficulties as much as possible in the yamen.Once it has to be discussed at the court meeting, or even needs to be reconciled by the court, it means that the power of the headquarters will flow out, so it is not a last resort, this kind of situation rarely happens...

Li Chengqian was sitting in the exclusive seat above Yu Majesty, and he was already thinking about how to host the political affairs hall meeting later, when he heard someone below suddenly come out of class and play: "Your Highness, Chang'an was under martial law last night, and there are rumors that it is A fire broke out suddenly to the north of the Xuanwu Gate, causing panic in the city of Chang’an. I don’t know if it’s true? If so, what’s the reason?”

Hey!
All the ministers in the hall suddenly regained their spirits and raised their eyes. Who is so ignorant that they mentioned this matter at the court meeting?

Generally speaking, matters that seem to be of great responsibility but have not caused serious consequences should be discussed in the political affairs hall by the ministers, and a result of the discussion should be discussed before being made public.After all, such matters will inevitably involve high-status ministers in the DPRK, and rashly raising them at the DPRK meeting, there is no guarantee that it will not cause attacks from various forces, mess things up, and end badly.
