Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 166 How Do You Know That God Can't Bully Him?

Compared with the mentality of 'thinking', 'shock', and 'frightened' of the lower-level officials in the square outside the hall, the Tianji Hall has long been full of tension.

There are two parties at war, one is the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the other is other officials.

In other words, the Metropolitan Procuratorate confronted the entire civil and military court.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Whether this matter is true or false, it cannot be discussed publicly!"

"Hurry up and make Du Qianchuan stop!"

"..."

This is the unanimous view of many officials.

As a small group of people at the center of the imperial court, they must consider the whole world.

In their view, since they already know how to prevent natural disasters, wouldn't it be enough to prevent similar things from happening again?

The future is more important, why bother to pursue the past?
In this regard, the attitude of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is extremely clear.

"Following the teachings of the Taizu, I, the Daqing court, should speak out."

"There is no one in the world that cannot be investigated, and there is no matter that cannot be corrected, even the royal family, even His Majesty!"

"Even Taizu issued an edict to sin against himself, let alone the latter?"

"No matter who obstructs Du Qianchuan today, he will forget his ancestors, and he will be punished!"

"..."

All the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing, counting one by one, came.

The censors of the left and right, the censors of the left and right, the censors of the left and right, experience, and affairs.

There are only a few dozen people in total.

And it was these ten or so people who blocked the gate of Tianji Hall, blocked the movement in the hall, and allowed Du Qianchuan outside the hall to continue.

"Hehe, you have a lot of people, and you have great officials. I'm just a mere second rank, not as good as many of you."

"As for strength, I've only washed my body to the sixth level. Many of you can crush me to death."

"The entire Metropolitan Procuratorate can't stop you."

"But I put the words here today, no matter what you want to do to Du Qianchuan..."

"can."

Gu Chengren, the censor of the right capital, nodded, "Kill the old man, and destroy the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Zuodu Yushi Shizheng laughed loudly, "Yes, let's destroy the Metropolitan Procuratorate, anyway, it won't be needed in the future, and there is no need for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to exist."

Dou Tianyuan couldn't help looking at Lou Youzhi who was closest to the Dragon Chair.

Lou Youzhi looked at the nose and the heart, just stood there with his head down, without saying a word.

Dou Tianyuan knew that there was no doubt that Lou Youzhi made this out.

But how dare he? !
The time was not ripe at all.

Isn't it courting death to face His Majesty directly? !

What's even more outrageous is that until now, there has been no sound from behind the curtain.

He has no intention of stopping Du Qianchuan at all...

Dou Tianyuan couldn't figure it out.

And at this moment, Du Qianchuan's last two words resounded outside the hall.

"The humble official Du Qianchuan impeached Wenchang, Jingsheng...Zhengfeng and other late emperors for the crime of murdering all people!"

- Swish!

The officials who were still confronting each other turned their heads in horror.

Du Qianchuan was stepping into the hall.

"I implore Your Majesty to get rid of his posthumous posthumous posthumous title and remove him from the Taimiao, so as to save the souls of all unjustly dead!"

!!!

The scalps of all the officials were numb and their bodies were cold.

Until then, Lou Youzhi finally spoke.

"Du Qianchuan, do you want to plunge the world into dire straits?"

Two piercing gazes pierced Du Qianchuan through the chaotic crowd.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he won the approval of most people.

"The water is in dire straits?"

Du Qianchuan laughed loudly, "The interval between natural disasters is getting shorter and shorter. From Binzhou sea boiling to Yongzhou locust disaster, it only took more than ten years. When will the next natural disaster be? When will the next natural disaster be? The people of the world are already in dire straits Yea!"

"Do you know how much disaster you will plant in what you say?"

Dou Tianyuan asked again.

"There is a rift between the monarch and his ministers, and the world is centrifugal."

Du Qianchuan nodded slightly, and then suddenly changed the subject: "But even so, so what?"

"Don't avenge wrongs, don't admit mistakes?"

"Brilliant Daqing, inherited for thousands of years, don't you even have such courage?"

"The lower officials believe that future generations should face up to the mistakes of the predecessors, warn them and correct them!"

Du Qianchuan held his head high and held his chest high, happy and unafraid, "If you know your mistakes and then correct them, if you know your shame and then be brave, then it will be the luck of the country and the world!"

"Then have you ever thought about it, maybe all the late emperors had their last resort?"

Dou Tianyuan asked again.

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace showed deep thought.

Yes.

If there is any difficulty?

After all, those grain storages in various places are just grain storage, and they are not rare treasures. Even as an official, I don't pay much attention to them, let alone the royal family, let alone your majesty?

Why sit and watch refugees die for so little food?
There must be some reason...

Everyone thought so.

"Difficulty?"

Du Qianchuan's eyes were playful, and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the hall.

"As I said just now, the earliest Zhengfeng Dynasty was only three hundred years ago."

"It's not that I don't say more, but the records from 300 years ago are no longer found."

"Think about it, don't use food when there is food, and don't provide relief when there is a disaster. Is this something that only happened in the past 300 years?"

"I am Daqing, but it has a history of tens of thousands of years!"

"How many refugees should have died unjustly due to natural disasters?"

"Ten million? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?!"

"That's not flowers and plants, it's not livestock, it's real people!"

"You can look up."

"They turned into wind, into rain, and blended into mountains and rivers."

"I keep my eyes wide open all the time, staring at Dingtian Mansion, at us officials who hold high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and shout out for the country and the people!"

"Difficulty?"

"I want to know, what's the reason for this, it needs to cost the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people?"

"I implore Your Majesty, tell me the reason!"

Du Qianchuan bowed down: "If someone has to suffer for it, I believe that whether it is a hundred officials or ten thousand people, I am willing to share it with Your Majesty!"

Following Du Qianchuan's words, everyone's attention fell behind the curtain.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After a full cup of tea, Emperor Yongtai didn't seem to know what happened at the court meeting, and never gave any response.

Baiguan's mood gradually sank, falling again and again.

"Hehehe, since that's the case..."

Du Qianchuan smiled and straightened up.

The next moment, a grand and awe-inspiring voice spread throughout the Tianji Hall.

"One!"

"Those who have a heart for Daqing are all the people of Daqing!"

"Second!"

"All my people in Daqing will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds and punished for their demerits!"

"The third!"

"All my people in Daqing should speak up if there is injustice, and fight for injustice!"

Everyone's expressions became awe-inspiring in these three grand words.

These are the first three articles of Taizu's great imperial edict.

No matter what they think in their hearts, no one dares to express disapproval on their faces.

Even if it is His Majesty today.

"Lou Youzhi, let me ask you!"

Du Qianchuan looked at Lou Youzhi, "Refugees under natural disasters, can they be counted as my Daqing citizens?"

"Natural disasters are not caused by people's hearts, they will be counted naturally."

Lou Youzhi answered.

"Then I'll ask you again!"

Du Qianchuan took a step forward, "The people died unjustly. As an official of the imperial court, am I qualified to complain about their injustice and seek justice?"

"The thirteenth edict of Taizu, all court officials, regardless of rank, have the responsibility to avenge the people's grievances."

Lou Youzhi said flatly, "You naturally have the qualification."

"it is good!"

Du Qianchuan laughed loudly, "Since Your Majesty doesn't say anything, then this humble minister must let the world know!"

"The imperial court can predict natural disasters!"

"The imperial court can prepare for the natural disaster before it strikes!"

Du Qianchuan cupped his hands and saluted, "The Prime Minister, please get the evidence!"

"Come on!"

Lou Youzhi waved his hand, "Take all relevant documents from Qin Tianjian, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households."

As soon as the order was given, blood-clothed guards immediately came out.

Just when this person was about to leave the hall, an old and elderly voice sounded faintly.

"The supervisor of ceremonies must also go with someone."

The one who spoke was the eunuch Yan Fang, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Ever since Emperor Yongtai retreated to the curtain, the chief eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies, also disappeared in front of everyone.

Yan Fang, as the second member of the Supervisor of Rituals, became the actual controller of the Supervisor of Rituals.

It's just that due to the absence of the emperor's sincere invitation, the authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies has rapidly weakened and fallen to the sidelines, and has become a fringe organization through and through.

At this time, he suddenly spoke, which was a bit intriguing.

Baiguan's eyes were a little inexplicable.

"At this time, the relationship is so important that it is inevitable that someone will obstruct it and maliciously fabricate and distort it. Our supervisor of etiquette must send someone to accompany it."

Yan Fang looked directly at the officials and said calmly.

"Since this is the case, it is inevitable that someone will destroy the evidence, and I must be accompanied by someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Gu Chengren narrowed his eyes and said something.

Afterwards, the officials of various ministries and government offices also spoke one after another.

"The same goes for the Ministry of Punishment."

"Dali Temple..."

"I was going to call the documents of my household department, and this is my duty..."

"..."

Things that could have been done by one person, more than ten people were sent abruptly.

However, in terms of candidates, it was tacitly decided to wash the body first.

These people come from different forces, have different backgrounds, and are of equal strength, so they can prevent each other from tampering with each other to the greatest extent.

Under so many checks and balances, if nothing unexpected happens, those documents will be sent to Tianji Hall intact.

After these people left the Tianji Hall, the remaining officials turned their attention behind the curtain.

The same doubt appeared in their hearts.

Your Majesty, why are you still silent?
As long as His Majesty speaks, there is still time to stop this grand farce.

Wait a little longer, once the evidence is presented, and the late emperors are convicted of not helping in disasters, what should we do?
To be convicted is to be unfilial to the ancestors, and to be exonerated is to be unkind to the world.

You must choose one of the two, and there is no room for change.

Time passed slowly.

However, there has never been a voice belonging to the emperor.

People's hearts fluttered, and the officials began to whisper.

"Why does Your Majesty condone this?"

"Could it be... what Du Qianchuan said is completely false?"

"Not quite like it."

"Du Qianchuan's preparations are sufficient, I don't think it's a fiction."

"You don't want to live?!"

"What are you afraid of? Du Qianchuan is still alive...not to mention that I have no doubts about His Majesty."

"I really can't figure out what benefits the late emperor would gain by doing this."

"It's not a benefit, it's a hardship."

"Then why didn't His Majesty say anything?"

"Is it possible that His Majesty didn't know about it? For example, before Emperor Bintian, he didn't pass this matter down?"

"Uh... hope so."

"..."

From the bottom of their hearts, all the officials did not want to believe that the emperor of Daqing would have such evil thoughts towards the people for no reason.

It's a pity that Emperor Yongtai never responded, so they can only guess in the direction they prefer.

Therefore, "The previous emperors had unavoidable difficulties, but Emperor Yongtai didn't know about it" became the thinking of most people.

until after a stick of incense.

A figure hurried across the square and landed in front of the gate of Tianji Hall.

"This!!!"

Everyone was horrified.

The person who fell in front of the hall was one of the people who had just left to collect evidence——Liu Cheng, the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

At this time, there was a hole the size of a fist in his abdomen, and his whole body was exhaling more air than inhaling, and his life was not long.

In the end what happened? !

Gu Chengren, who was the closest, walked over and immediately squatted down, wanting to heal Liu Cheng.

"No, my lord..."

Liu Cheng grabbed Gu Chengren's hand, "Listen to me."

Gu Chengren's complexion was extremely ugly.

"It's the eunuch."

With the last of his strength, Liu Cheng quickly said: "We will go to the official department first, then the household department, and finally the Qintianjian."

"Everything was going well."

"But just when we got the record of the natural disaster, the eunuch suddenly exploded...he will disintegrate the demon."

"The others are all dead, and the files of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, as well as the records of natural disasters, were all destroyed by him..."

"My lord, Yan Fang has a problem, there must be a problem..."

Struggling to finish the last sentence, Liu Cheng closed his eyes.

"The blood-clothed guard listens to the order!"

Dou Tianyuan roared angrily, "Catch that eunuch for me, I want to see people when I'm born, and I want to see corpses when I die!!!"

"Yes!"

All the personnel belonging to the Blood Clothes Guards responded in unison and fled away.

Gu Chengren stood up slowly, turned and faced the hall.

There, Yan Fang was already surrounded by hundreds of officials.

"Master Yan, should I explain?"

Lou Youzhi said lightly.

"Explain what?"

Yan Fang looked surprised, "The disintegration of the Heavenly Demon is not even included in the Daqing Arsenal, so it is obvious that the eunuch in the hall was a rebel from Taipingdao who sneaked in and pretended to be."

Such a rampant attitude and perfunctory answer made everyone's eyes look subtle.

In fact, most of these people don't care so much about the life and death of civilians.

What they care about is Emperor Yongtai!

Don't forget that although Yan Fang is not qualified to enter the curtain, he has been the eunuch of the East Palace since the Wenchang period.

In other words, Yan Fang has followed Emperor Yongtai for many years.

Now, the eunuch under Yan Fang killed the person who collected the evidence and destroyed the evidence...

"Good, good, good."

Shi Zheng looked at Yan Fang gloomyly, "Originally, I thought this matter was only done by the late emperors, His Majesty didn't know about it, but now..."

"Now?"

Yan Fang chuckled, "Shizheng, you are the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is good to have the right to play a role if you have a rumor, but you have the right to play a role, and to judge a crime is to judge a crime."

"When discussing crimes, we must pay attention to evidence."

Saying that, Yan Fang turned around and saluted inside the curtain: "My minister, the eunuch Yan Fang, the supervisor of ceremonies, impeached Du Qianchuan from Zhaomo of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Du Qianchuan fabricated criminal evidence, slandered the royal family, and slandered the previous emperors in an attempt to shake the foundation of Daqing and bring disaster to the world."

"My minister suspects that Du Qianchuan, who is appointed by the imperial court, is actually a traitor of the Taiping Dao!"

"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to arrest Du Qianchuan immediately and punish him for the serious crime of treason!"

absurd!

What absurdity!
You just said that the eunuch who destroyed the evidence was a traitor, but now you say that Du Qianchuan is a traitor?
The anti-thief ruined the good thing about the anti-thief?
Shi Zheng was furious instantly.

Dou Tianyuan quickly restrained him with sharp eyes and hands, and said in a low voice: "It's easy to want to die, but are you sure you want to die like this?"

"I……"

Shi Zheng's chest heaved and he clenched his fists tightly.

At this moment, two words that did not contain any emotion came faintly from behind the curtain.

"Precise play."

Yes, Emperor Qing spoke up.

From the beginning of the Great Court Meeting until now, Emperor Qing finally spoke.

As for whose performance is allowed, it is naturally not Du Qianchuan's.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Fang bowed to the inside of the curtain and turned around, "Du Qianchuan is still under control!"

Inside and outside the Tianji Hall, there are imperial guards and blood-clothed guards.

However, the imperial guards are in the hands of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is in the hands of Lou Youzhi.

The Bloody Guard is in the hands of Dou Tianyuan.

So Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan didn't nod, neither of them moved.

"Do you want to rebel with Du Qianchuan?"

Yan Fang scolded sharply.

Dou Tianyuan sighed, and raised his hand to wave it down.

There is no way, His Majesty has given clear instructions, if you really stand still and don't do anything, you don't know what will happen later.

However, at this moment, Du Qianchuan spoke up.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Behind the crowd, Du Qianchuan's tone was faint, which attracted everyone's attention.

"I remembered something interesting."

"When I was in the Anthology Department, I read several local reports."

"One of them is from Yongzhou."

"There is a very small official, so small that he doesn't even have a rank."

"When he was transferred to another place, he left a few words for the local people."

"I think it makes sense, and now I give it to you."

"Your salary is rich, the people are fat and the people are anointed. The people are easy to abuse, but the sky is hard to bully."

After reading these few sentences, Du Qianchuan looked towards the curtain, "Your Majesty."

"Words, can be banned!"

"Body, can be killed!"

"However, people's hearts do not stop, justice-constant!!!"

Du Qianchuan roared mournfully: "My minister Du Qianchuan, for the crime of murdering all the people, impeach the late emperors again!"

"Please Your Majesty, get rid of his posthumous posthumous posthumous title, and get out of the Taimiao, so as to comfort the souls of thousands of unjust dead!"

"minister!"

"Death remonstrance!!!"

As soon as the word "dead remonstrance" was uttered, Du Qianchuan shot out with lightning, and slammed straight into the Panlong pillar at the side.

--boom!

The head was cracked, blood stained the Tianji Temple!

Du Qianchuan, dead!
The hall was dead silent.

It's not that everyone has never seen a death remonstrance, but until now, they didn't know what a real death remonstrance is... a death remonstrance!

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Gu Chengren shook his head and laughed, "Your salary is rich, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully?"

"No, no, this sentence is wrong."

"It should be more appropriate to add a few words."

"Your salary and salary should be taken for granted. People's fat and people's fat are all fertilizers."

"It's easy for the people to be abused and not to be buried, but it's hard for the heavens to bully him."

As Gu Chengren said, he took off his black gauze cap and red official robe, and then cupped his hands towards the curtain, "Your Majesty, I beg for the bones."

Without waiting for a response, Gu Chengren turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked away with his head held high.

An dignified official of the second grade resigned in public like this, and did not save any face for Emperor Yongtai.

"The minister also begs for bones."

"The same is true for the minister."

"..."

All the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate followed Gu Chengren's example and took off their hats and robes.

Regardless of whether they are old or strong, they all claim to beg for bones.

Only Zuodu Censor Shizheng did not move.

There are still things he hasn't checked out, and things he hasn't finished.

After a long time, when there was no new movement in the hall, Lou Youzhi spoke.

"Du Qianchuan's previous statement, without witnesses or physical evidence, will not be represented."

"In addition, Yan Fang, the supervisor of ceremonies, neglected his duties. I decided to remove him from his official position and exile him for thousands of miles. He will never be hired."

"Is there any objection?"

The deep words echoed in the Tianji Hall, gradually bringing back everyone's thoughts.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally shook their heads.

"I have no objection."

"Retreat."

An anticlimactic farce ended like this.

When the crowd dispersed, the Tianji Hall was quickly cleaned up.

Whether it was blood or the fishy smell in the air, there was nothing unusual, just like Du Qianchuan never came in.

pity.

The traces of Du Qianchuan were indeed cleaned up, but what he said remained deeply in everyone's mind and echoed endlessly.

As soon as Lou Youzhi left Yongqing Palace, Dou Tianyuan stepped out and stopped him on the way.

"What on earth are you thinking???"

Dou Tianyuan raised his hand to block the surrounding area, and asked with a calm face: "It's nothing, why did you impeach the late emperor? Du Qianchuan died after such a trouble, and nothing has changed. Now even you may be dismissed at any time."

"Impeach the late emperor?"

Lou Youzhi smiled disdainfully, "It's just a few dead people, would I do such a meaningless thing?"

"That……"

Dou Tianyuan's heart moved slightly.

"It took Du Qianchuan a whole stick of incense from the performance to the impeachment of the late emperor, from outside the hall to entering the hall,"

Lou Youzhi narrowed his eyes, "Indeed, all relevant evidence has been destroyed."

"But the problem is, with Du Qianchuan's remarks, if there is another natural disaster in the future, he will have no chance to slaughter refugees... No matter the evidence or not."

"Your Majesty knows this better than everyone else, but he still let it go."

"Leave Du Qianchuan alone and let him say all these words."

"I guess."

The corners of Lou Youzhi's mouth twitched slightly, "It's not that he can't get out of the curtain, but...he can't get out of the curtain!"

"Can't get out of the curtain..."

Dou Tianyuan's face trembled, "That is to say, you and I don't need to worry about anything anymore?"

"Not only that."

Lou Youzhi thought for a while, then turned to face the direction of Yongqing Palace, raised his right hand, and slowly clenched it into a fist.

"From today, Daqing..."

"It's mine!"

……

……

outside the city.

A col next to the pasture.

Weeds are overgrown here, and there is not even a clear path. It is obviously a remote place where few people come and go.

But in such a remote place, there was a small thatched hut at some point.

Outside the house is a tomb bag without a stele.

Inside the house is a large vat filled with medicinal liquid.

And a body completely submerged in the liquid medicine, life and death unknown.
