The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 127 This matter, just follow his request!
Shengjing, under the imperial city.

In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, the officials had already woken up and came to the gate of the city with lanterns one by one, waiting for the palace gate to open to go to the morning court.

Except for festivals and festivals, officials of the fourth rank and above had to go to the Chang Dynasty to discuss major affairs in the court.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the entire court was not very good. Because of the news from the south, the Southwest envoy died inexplicably in the territory of Dazhou. It is said that he was killed by local bandits.

This incident shocked the government and the public, the emperor was furious, and there were many civil and military discussions in the court.

The local officials must be held accountable, but the next thing that is even more troublesome is how to negotiate with the people in Xiliang.

"Squeak-"

At this time, the palace gate slowly opened, and a group of officials filed in.

Arriving at the Qianlong Hall, the emperor was already sitting at the head, and the officials below were listed on the left and right according to their civil and military positions. Everyone held wat boards, watching their noses with their eyes, mouth with their noses, and hearts with their mouths. They were very cute.

The emperor on the throne was a middle-aged man about 50 years old, wearing a beaded crown and black dragon robe, with a majestic expression. He looked coldly at the officials below, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Since he fell ill the year before last, these officials have started to stand among several of their princes. In court, you can often see the princelings, the three princelings, and the seven princelings impeaching each other. own status.

Oh, how ridiculous!I am still alive, and you are forming a party for personal gain under my nose?

That's fine, you guys just fight, it's best to fight to the death, and I'll watch the show on the sidelines!
Emperor Qi Yun has been watching them fight for the past six months, and he is playing balance in the middle. For a while, he stands out as an emperor, and no one can match him. This feeling is very good, just half a month ago, Southwest His good mood was ruined when the envoy was killed.

When he heard the news, Qi Yun was furious, and even implicated several small officials. These days, the courtiers saw him and dared not show their anger for fear of being implicated, so they all followed a quail obediently.

It's just that this cuteness made Qi Yun tired of seeing it after a long time.

"Why, don't you talk?"

The emperor's voice seemed to come from the underworld of Jiuyou, which made people frightened, and the officials below made eye contact with each other.

At this time, a bold official came out and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the Xiliang secret spies have found out about the murder of the envoy not long ago, and now the Xiliang ambassador Yeluhao who is in Beijing has asked us to give an explanation..."

"Oh? Is this for accountability?"

Qi Yun sneered, his gaze coldly swept across the group of officials below.

"I am frightened!"

All the ministers hurriedly acted like turtles.

"I want you to come up with a countermeasure, not to be a quail for me here! Bang!"

Qi Yun slapped the dragon chair, obviously angry.

The officials below hesitated for a moment, and someone came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the first thing to do is to investigate the mistakes of the local officials over there. It is best to take down and kill a few people, so as to offset the anger of the people of Xiliang. Again, we deserve an apology..."

"Is it possible to add more old coins?"

Before the official could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice. Qi Yun's cold eyes glanced down, and the official knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed his head, "Your Majesty, Xiliang people are brave, if you don't To make up for it, when the time comes, the army will overwhelm the country..."

"So what if the army is overwhelmed? Are we still afraid of them?"

This time it was another official who spoke, who was exactly the opposite of the official who felt that he wanted to make compensation just now, so the reversal came like this.

"Nonsense, it would be a waste of people and money to fight!"

"But once and for all, do we have to increase the old coins every year when they come to make trouble? Who will bear these old coins in the end? Isn't it taxed on the people? It's a waste of money! Besides, there is a general in Xiping in the southwest, Cao Yin, who is still in charge. Will you be afraid of those barbarians?"

"But back then we lost..."

"Why did you lose back then?"

When the irritable official said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the emperor. Fortunately, Qi Yun looked calm and did not get angry.

He still wanted to say something, but Qi Yun said coldly: "It happened to be the Seven Kings Rebellion, the government was turbulent, the national power was weak, and there were many natural disasters at that time, and there was a serious shortage of taxes. I got it! Now that I have recuperated for more than ten years, the treasury is full, and the weapons are excellent, will I be afraid of them?"

"Your majesty is wise! I am willing to lead the army!"

A general came out and pleaded for orders carefully.

"Your Majesty, you can't fight, peace is the most important thing!"

When an official saw it, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Can't fight? Hmph, I just want to fight!" Qi Yun sneered coldly, "After more than ten years of stable life, you all only know that you just sit and enjoy peace? Little do you know that peace is not negotiated with money, but It was typed out! The envoy from Xiliang died in my Dazhou territory? What if it was a cruel trick by them? Just to make me increase the old coins?"

I go!

The official who advocated peace talks was dumbfounded.

Your Majesty, you are playing a rascal!

If the people of Xiliang hear this, they will definitely send you soldiers to the city the next day!
Qi Yun stared at the dazed official, and sneered, "Why, are you going to pass on what I said today to the Xiliang people?"

"Ah, no, I don't dare, I deserve death for my crimes!"

The official turned pale with fright and knelt down!
The emperor is mean to Guan En, if this really offends him, he will kill you directly!

Moreover, the emperor dug a hole for him. If the people of Xiliang knew this, he would spread the word, and he would be in bad luck!Next, he has to find a way to seal it...

God, do you want to be so miserable?
Seeing that he didn't dare to make a sound, Qi Yun said coldly: "Let's leave it at that, deal with all the officials in Gaoyang County, those who should be killed and those who should be exiled, even if they give an explanation to the Xiliang envoy, if they feel dissatisfied and want to make trouble If not, I am not afraid of them! At worst, I will fight the whole country!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

Now that the emperor has made up his mind, then their courtiers have nothing to do. Besides, now that several princes want to inherit the great power, and the various forces are fighting endlessly, who would dare to offend the emperor at this time?Isn't this giving the opponent a chance?
Therefore, many people would oppose the war, but very few people actually opposed it, and that's how it happened.

Just as they were about to discuss how to fight next, an unremarkable official suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Gaoyang County has a statement!"

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned, and then someone snorted coldly, "Are you trying to justify your mistakes? Shameless, Your Majesty, this person should be killed!"

"Your Majesty, this memorial...is a bit different. I wanted to abandon it at first, but after some hesitation, I think it's time for you to have a look."

The official said with a tangled face.

His appearance aroused Qi Yun's curiosity, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then present it!"

The servant went down to bring up the memorial, Qi Yun took it and looked at it for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, this official is brave and resourceful, yes, he won my heart, this matter... just follow his request! "
