Chapter 146: Heart-killing in the Court
  "The court has not yet concluded what He Tianyou's crime is. Dali Temple, the Inspectorate, and the Ministry of Punishment have not said anything." Han Xu took a step forward and faced Gu Zufa directly on the ring. There was even more coldness on his face: "It's you, Taichang Temple." Your hand is stretched out long enough!"

"Master Han, what are you so anxious about?" Gu Zufa frowned slightly and said slowly: "First of all, there is no law in the court prohibiting Taichang Temple from coming to Taichang Temple to speak. Secondly, there are refugees in Shanhaiguan under He Tianyou's jurisdiction, causing the people to suffer. Isn’t it true? Even if the court didn’t verify it, don’t you, Mr. Han, know it in your heart?”

"It's a good thing to know in your heart! Taichang Temple is in charge of the imperial etiquette system, but it is a good practice to ask yourself! Since you mentioned He Tianyou, let me reply to you, He Tianyou's dereliction of duty is true, but is his crime leading to death?"

Han Xu didn't want to continue arguing with Gu Zufa, so he took a step directly, bowed to the confused Zhu Youxiao on the throne and said: "Your Majesty, the justice of Langguo is here today. I have a sentence that is best asked face to face. "

After hearing Han Xu's words, Zhu Youxiao did not speak immediately, but looked at Wang Qi, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating.

It's really strange, why does Wang Qi have conflicts with the people in Donglin every time he enters the court?
  Are they naturally incompatible?
  "Duke Langguo?" Zhu Youxiao asked in a questioning tone.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his status was already revealed.

If Wang Qi doesn't want to pay attention to Han Xu, it seems that Zhu Youxiao will not force him. A mere soldier prepares the road. From the fourth-grade official, he will die soon. If he is investigated, will Duke Lang be asked to apologize?
  What a joke!
  The plaque of Huanghuang Martial Arts has just been hung at the entrance of Langguogong's yamen. Isn't this a slap in the face?
  However, everyone looked at Wang Qi and wanted to explain.

On this side, Wang Qi looked at Han Xu and said, "What do you want to ask, Master Han?"

"Beheading He Tianyou on the spot, did Duke Lang have public motives or selfish motives?" Han Xu stared at Wang Qi's eyebrows with piercing eyes, trying to capture any subtle changes in his emotions.

As soon as these words came out, even Sun Chengzong, who had been watching the show, raised his eyebrows.

Han Xu's question was a hidden mystery: if Wang Qi responded to selfish motives, he would naturally fall into the inferior position; if he responded to public motives, everyone in the court would be in danger. With public motives, he could kill the court officials, but what about selfish motives?
  It is not an exaggeration to say that Han Xu's words are heart-wrenching.

Wang Qi looked at Han Xu quietly, pursed his lips slightly, and said in a deep voice: "When someone does something, whether it's public or private, he only cares about the results. Wang Tiqian, the Superintendent of Ceremonies in the Inner Palace, was also on the scene at the time. Thousands of refugees broke into the government office. If you don't do it, If we deal with it effectively, the result will not be solved by just killing one soldier!"

Wang Qi said with a smile and said: "After the incident in Liaodong, I just entered the customs and helped you solve such a big disaster in Donglin. You, Han Yuchen, didn't thank me much. Now you are questioning me in court and you are so aggressive." , what? Dong Lin only knows how to fight with people, fight with orthodoxy, and fight with ideas, but he never does anything? "

As soon as this statement came out, most of the officials in the palace were the head of the family and couldn't help laughing.

It is also very clear. I, the Duke of Lang, won a great victory in Liaodong and the main force of Houjin was wiped out. However, you Donglin made a mess in the capital area and even the refugee chaos was not solved. However, I entered the customs and helped you solve the big problem. You But he still talks nonsense in the court, which is really laughable.

"Your Duke Lang always talks about him, but you don't answer Han's questions!" Han Xu's face turned pale when Wang Qi provoked him, and he pointed at Duke Lang and argued palely.

"Say that I don't care about left and right! You don't want to serve your country when your family is suffering, but you have to fight to the death for Confucianism and Taoism and ideological disputes in the court. Now you come to ask me why I killed a corpse. Such officials are really ridiculous!" Wang Qi shook his head with a mocking look on his face.

Han Xu's face was ashen, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

Wang Qi's words were truly heart-breaking. He trampled the entire imperial court's operating rules under his feet and spoke as a simple relative, but his words made Han Xu speechless for a moment.

For a time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was close to freezing.
  "Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet, took a step forward and stood in front of the stage.

"Ye Aiqing, please speak!" Zhu Youxiao could hardly stand the solemn atmosphere. Although he wanted to balance the power of the government, the young emperor seemed to have not yet fully controlled the rudder of this big ship. He accidentally The situation has moved in an uncontrollable direction, and now we can only resort to external means.

"In the final analysis, this matter lies in the chaos of the refugees. If Mr. Han can leave the capital and go to Jizhou Prefecture to clear up the chaos, why bother having unnecessary arguments in the court?" Ye Xianggao looked at the emperor and then turned his head. Looking at Han Xu: "The success of Duke Lang in Liaodong has proved that everything he said and did is correct. If Mr. Han is not convinced, he can also prove how the people in my court are doing in internal affairs!"

In just a moment, the entire court fell into silence.

Everyone was shocked. I finally figured it out.

The chief minister of the cabinet and Duke Lang finally united to control Donglin.

These words are all helping Wang Qi to run against Han Xu!
  And what Ye Xianggao said: Go to Jizhou Prefecture as an envoy to rectify the chaos.
  This situation was just like how Han Xu, together with Zuo Guangdou and others, forced Wang Qi to take over the next three months to annihilate Liaodong.

"What difficulties are there for the refugees in Jizhou Prefecture? Since we have made a complaint with the court today, Han is willing to go to Jizhou to resolve the matter!" After Han Xu finished speaking, he bowed to the aloof Zhu Youxiao with righteous words: "My minister, Han Xu, has invited me to go out and resolve the chaos in Jizhou Prefecture!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he hesitated for a while. After all, Xu Guangqi had been going to Jizhou Mansion for many days. If he sent Han Xu again now, wouldn't it hurt the old minister's heart?

For a time, the entire hall was waiting for Zhu Youxiao's answer.

Ye Xianggao didn't care, because Han Xu was unable to solve the matter at all. The entire court was raising food, grass and money for the follow-up war in Liaodong. Where could there be excess food for the hundreds of thousands of refugees who were waiting for food?

Can Han Xu conjure food?

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian walked quietly from outside the hall, holding a memorial in his hand, and gently interrupted Zhu Youxiao's thinking, which seemed a bit mysterious.

"His Majesty……"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao took the memorial with a suspicious look and looked down.

This should be the memorial that arrived at the General Administration Department just after entering Beijing. It passed through the cabinet and was given directly to Wei Zhongxian.

All the ministers in the palace were looking at Zhu Youxiao at this moment, wondering where the memorial came from and what it contained.

After a few breaths, there was a snap!
  Zhu Youxiao looked solemn, looked at the ministers in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "We have received a letter from Jizhou Prefecture. Yutian County, Lu'an County, and Jing'er County were invaded by the rebels, and the county magistrate was killed. Now we are laying siege to Jizhou Prefecture."

what?
  After learning the contents of the memorial, the whole hall burst into discussion.

Rioters revolted and killed the county magistrate?
  How is this different from rebellion?

As a result, the nature of the matter has changed.

If this is the case, just sending Han Xu may not solve the problem.

Jizhou Mansion is under siege, so Han Xu can't be allowed to reason with the rebels, right?

After a while, as the voices in the palace gradually became quieter, everyone turned to look at the young Duke, the most knowledgeable man in the palace.

After going around and around now, it seems that Han Xu's action is not enough, and Wang Qi needs to rush to Jizhou Mansion together.
