Raid

Chapter 33
Hearing Li Shengxi mentioning Mu Jing, Liu Jin couldn't help showing his face, "It's not only the temperament, but also the experience is somewhat similar. It's just that the Marquis of Xiangcheng is not as lucky as the Marquis of Dingning, and he met you. A Bole."

Li Shengxi was noncommittal, but looked south, thinking of his homeland.

The fight between Gu Lingxu and Rongzhi was stopped by the Jinwu guards who came in a hurry.Rong Zhi lost to Gu Lingxu, his jade-like face was unsurprisingly affected.Although Gu Lingxu's martial arts were stronger than Rong Zhi's, his body injuries were not healed, and the old injuries recurred in this fight, so it was not much better.

Zhou Shutao looked at the two of them, especially when he saw Rong Zhi, his face showed displeasure, "Who is making trouble here?"

"General Zhonglang, this is not a question of whether to make trouble or not. This man beat up the court official, why don't you escort him to Dali Temple immediately?" The eunuch who was beaten to death appeared out of nowhere.

Zhou Shutao didn't look at him halfway, but at the next moment Gu Lingxu kicked the eunuch's heart again.

The eunuch clutched his heart, unable to speak for a moment in pain.

Now, even Zhou Shutao couldn't help but cast his eyes on Gu Lingxu, he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, you dare to hit someone in front of this general, do you still have the law of the country in your eyes?"

"This man was running fast in the street, and even trampled on an old man. This is called a real disregard for the laws of the country. I am just doing justice for the heavens." Gu Lingxu raised his head, even if the old injury on his body recurred, he did not care about it. Change your arrogance.

On the other hand, Rong Zhi, who was at the side, twitched fiercely when he heard Gu Lingxu's self-proclaimed name.

"Who are you?" Zhou Shutao also became vigilant.

Gu Lingxu slowly took out a waist card, still domineering and arrogant, "Take me to face the saint."

The news of Marquis Xiangcheng's entry to the capital spread throughout the Wangjing noble circle within a day, and everyone was very curious about the meaning of this military prince who had not been restrained by the imperial court for many years entering the palace at this time.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Emperor Yuan Jia looked at the few important officials in front of him with a bad expression.

Guan Zhi was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, it is disrespectful for the Marquis of Xiangcheng to enter the capital without an edict. Beating people in the street is even more arrogant and domineering. If there is no severe punishment, what is the majesty of the country?"

He didn't expect Gu Lingxu to be so reckless and dare to beat someone in the street.It's okay for Rong Zhi to practice martial arts since he was a child, but the little eunuch was beaten up by him like this, and he was so heartbroken, his life may not be successful.He wasn't worried about that little eunuch, but Gu Lingxu was clearly slapping him in the face.

Furthermore, if it is said that he and the Zhou family are incompatible, then he and Gu Lingxu will never die.Even if Gu Lingxu wasn't the one who beat him, he would still attack Gu Lingxu.

The Zhou family wanted to win over Gu Lingxu, and since Zhou Shizhong and Guan Zhi couldn't deal with each other, he raised his eyelids, "My lord, this matter has already been investigated by the eunuch. It is a righteous act for the Marquis of Xiangcheng to take action. To enter the capital privately—the Marquis of Xiangcheng is outside the palace now, the Holy Majesty might as well meet him first and let him distinguish."

Meng Songyan also said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiangcheng is the fortress of Xichang and an important minister of the country. Besides, the Marquis of Xiangcheng wrote a letter at the beginning of the month, saying that he would make a pilgrimage to the Holy Majesty after the national funeral. Now that the national funeral has passed, the Marquis of Xiangcheng has come to make a pilgrimage. , is also expected. Maybe it is because of an emergency, but it may not be disrespectful. Now that the national mourning is over and the government is waiting for prosperity, it is time to employ people."

"The Taifu's words are wrong." Guan Zhi quickly retorted, his tone was not kind, "Xiang Chenghou has not been restrained by the court for many years. I have to guard against it. If there is a slight negligence, I am afraid that the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhou Fa said coldly, "How could the Marquis of Xiangcheng be dishonest if he entered the palace alone. Even so, when Tu Qiong sees him, the palace guards will take down the traitors!"

"The waiter said that he saw it poorly, and compared Xiangcheng Hou to Jing Ke. Could it be that he compared the Holy One to Tyrant Qin?" Guan Zhi was best at taking advantage of verbal loopholes. Before Zhou Fa could refute, he continued: "What's more, Marquis Xiangcheng has always hated Xirong. Over the years, merchants from Xirong have not been able to enter Xichang. Now that Northern Qi and Xirong are negotiating business, if the Holy Majesty receives Marquis Xiangcheng at this moment, where will the envoys of Xirong be sent?"

Zhou Fa suppressed the anger in his eyes when he heard the words, "Guan Jian's words are wrong. What does the emperor have to do with Di Yi when he meets the ministers of the state? Besides, the people of Xirong have shown signs of domineering because of the business. For the favor of the Marquis of Xiangcheng, you can also beat Xirong."

Because of Xi Rong's matter, although Guan Zhi had already been condemned before, his reputation was almost intact, and there was even a tendency to get worse. If no one restrained him, he would be too proud.

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Emperor Yuan Jia felt irritable, but his rationality told him that this was not the time to get angry, so he pinched his dragon robe and suppressed his temper.

Several people are arguing endlessly, and everyone has their own reasons.Emperor Yuanjia was partial to knowing, but he couldn't resist the pressure of Zhou Fa and Meng Songyan with his own strength.In the end, he could only say, "Let me think about it." Then the three of them were sent away.

Not long after the courtiers were sent off, the queen came from the Qingning Palace. After the queen saluted, Emperor Yuanjia complained, "Both the Taifu and the attendants insisted on letting me see the Marquis of Xiangcheng. But Marquis Xiangcheng has been dissatisfied with the court for many years. , and now went to Beijing privately, and acted domineeringly after entering Beijing. Even if I saw him, so what? Should I be punished, or should I let him go? If I should be punished, what is the use of seeing him? If I just let him go, the country will lose face What is there?"

Jiang Muyi lowered her eyes, she gently pinched Emperor Yuan Jia's shoulders, and said gently: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiangcheng has not been restrained by the court for many years, and the late emperor did not surrender when he was still alive. As soon as the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, he showed respect, Now that he is willing to go to Beijing for a pilgrimage, he thinks it is because he was touched by His Majesty’s virtue. His Majesty’s letting him go shows His benevolence, so how could he hurt the country’s face.”

Jiang Muyi knows Emperor Yuanjia best, knowing what he can listen to,

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jia's expression turned pale when he heard the words.

Jiang Muyi lowered his eyes to cover up the disappointment in his eyes, "It was difficult for the court before, but now it is gradually becoming peaceful, and the supervisor has earned another 500 million yuan in taxes, which is an urgent need to relieve the court. Why don't you take this opportunity to implement a benevolent government, so as to avoid Yuanzhou, Wanzhou, etc. The state and other southwestern states pay taxes, of course, including Xichang. At that time, the Holy Majesty will meet with the Marquis of Xiangcheng again, no matter whether it is a reward or a punishment, the Marquis of Xiangcheng will only be convinced, and the people of the world will only feel that the Holy Majesty is virtuous."

Emperor Yuan Jia patted Jiang Muyi's hand, and couldn't help laughing: "You, you don't know the government. Even if you earn 500 million yuan, you can give the court a chance to breathe, but once the taxes in the Southwest are exempted, you may not be able to make ends meet again. It's just that you give us money. It provides an idea, it is not possible to get rid of it completely, but it is feasible to subtract some."

Seeing that he was quite satisfied, Jiang Muyi lowered his eyes and focused his attention, and said more submissively and modestly: "My sage, Shengming, then...Honor of Xiangcheng, will your sage see you or not?"

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded, "This is the end of the matter, we will see you if you don't see it."
