The concubine is so charming

Chapter 215 Using retreat as a better move in chess

After hearing that their own mansion was also warned by heaven, the faces of many officials suddenly turned pale, and they looked at Chu Feiyan in surprise.

At the very beginning, they felt that this matter went too smoothly. If Chu Feiyan could admit defeat so easily, he would have been killed countless times in the past ten years.

But the officials under him cut off batches after batches, and his position as the prime minister became more and more secure. It was all because they were blinded by the victory in front of them, so that they were too eager for quick success and talked too hard. Now it is difficult to step down if you want to return.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this is a warning from the heavens, and there seems to be something wrong with it."

"Is there something wrong?"

"My lords present have heard it, but wherever the sky fire fell, it left behind the words "monsters, bewitching the world, and changing hands of the emperor", but in the palace, the name of Prime Minister Chu was left alone. The name of the Prime Minister was suppressed under the high platform used to worship the heavens and pray for blessings, doesn't this imply that the Prime Minister is a capable minister who supports the country and the country?"

Many officials nodded in agreement: "That's true. The wooden plank that built the high platform for offering sacrifices to the sky was burned with warning words, which means that these people destroyed the high platform and caused the country to be unstable. Work hard to stabilize the country and the country."

"That's a good statement. Ever since he assumed the post of prime minister, Prime Minister Chu has dedicated himself. The promotion of officials is also based on performance appraisal. As for the exclusion of dissidents that Mr. Liu said, it is even more nonsense. Those officials impeach|impeach the prime minister The Lord is arbitrary and arbitrary, but he himself was found to be in contact with his party members and accepting bribes. The huge amount is staggering. Disturbing the court situation."

"Your Majesty, such traitors will not be tolerated, please punish them severely."

After these words, the officials fell to their knees with a crash.

At this moment, a suppressed cough came out.

Chu Feiyan raised his sleeves to cover his face, his face was as pale as paper, but his cheeks were tinged with redness, and he coughed continuously, as if he wanted to cough up his entire lungs, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Su Yao stepped forward directly to support Chu Feiyan's arm, without hesitation in his movements: "Your Majesty, Xiangye is not in good health. Although he acted calmly just now, all previous efforts were completely denied. Is it not uncomfortable? All the officials present are usually looking up to the Prime Minister, smiling amiably on the surface, but who knows that they have such vicious thoughts behind their backs, it is really chilling..."

Princess Rong's face was ugly: "Ninghua, the emperor is dealing with political affairs, where is your role to intervene, why don't you hurry up and come to mother's side."

Su Yao raised her head and looked directly at Princess Rong: "My daughter is not filial, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to rectify Xiang Ye."

Chu Feiyan coughed more and more, suddenly raised his hand to cover his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Xiang!" Su Yao hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the blood from the corner of his lips.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Chu Feiyan's breath became much calmer, but his face was even more bloodless than before: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are incompetent, and the position of prime minister should be left to someone who can handle it alone. I can't hold on for a long time, just in time to resign and go home, and spend the few days left..."

"Chu Aiqing, you are my right-hand man and the minister of the humerus of the Da'an Dynasty. Over the years, I have seen everything you do, and I have never doubted you. It is absolutely unacceptable to resign and go home." I can’t say any more. Imperial physician, hurry up and help Prime Minister Chu diagnose and treat.”

Several imperial physicians hurriedly came forward, and after helping Chu Feiyan to diagnose the pulse, their expressions became more dignified: "Reporting to the emperor, Xiangye's pulse condition is very weak, and his physical condition has deteriorated to a certain point. Weichen and others have superficial medical skills. Don't dare to prescribe medicine rashly, I heard that Taoist Priest Wuchen lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so let's invite him into the palace as soon as possible."

Chu Feiyan stood up straight, even if he was crumbling at this moment, his figure was still straight, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he had already seen through life and death: "Your Majesty, this body has always been in this state, and today's mood fluctuates a lot It caused the root cause of the disease, and it will be fine after going back to live for a while. The matter in the palace is still important, and the heavens have fallen, and a total of [-] places in the capital's palace and official residences have been implicated by it. Unrest.

"Then according to Chu Aiqing's words, how should we deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, my Da'an Dynasty has strict laws and regulations. If these officials act upright and sit upright, even if there is a warning from heaven, Haoran's righteousness will protect them. Therefore, I suggest that the people affected by the fire of heaven should be strictly investigated. It is most appropriate for the Ministry of Punishment to take over."

The emperor nodded: "Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"The minister is here."

"According to what Prime Minister Chu said, temporarily lock those officials into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and deal with them after the investigation is clear."

"Yes."

The imperial guards quickly stepped forward, not giving the officials a chance to intercede, and stretched out their hands in twos to drag them down.

"Chu Aiqing, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter. If someone dares to slander important court officials, I will definitely not tolerate it."

"Your Majesty, I'm used to hearing insults, so it's okay to listen to a few more words. Many officials are also thinking about the court. As long as they are dedicated to serving the public, they will curse my ministers every day, and I will be happy with it." Chu Feiyan lowered his eyes and covered them. Deep and bottomless eyes.

"Your temper... Don't worry, you don't care about it, I will make the decision for you."

"Ahem..." Chu Feiyan tried his best to suppress the itch in his throat, "Your Majesty, the child in the womb of the Concubine Zhen may not be able to be preserved. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is your only heir. The same goes for his palace. There is no delay, so I just took this opportunity to search the palace and find out the person who is playing tricks behind his back and bewitching His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

The emperor nodded. Today's New Year's Eve has been completely destroyed, so he simply checked everything out: "Commander of the Imperial Guard, you personally take people to the Palace of the Seventh Prince, and send all the palace servants who serve the Seventh Prince Detain it and interrogate it strictly, I want to see who dares to stir up disputes in the harem."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, you'd better go to the main hall and wait for the news, your dragon body is important." After Chu Feiyan finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing again, Qingjuan's brows were tightly frowned, and even the sound of breathing was a little weak It's unhearable, it's extremely uncomfortable at first glance, but even so, he still speaks out and cares about the emperor's body.

Such intentions made the emperor feel that the person who criticized him just now had a heart to kill.

Although Chu Feiyan did things ruthlessly, he had his permission for all those things, just like when Rongcheng was hit by a snowstorm, he was the one who ordered to cut off the supply of money and food.He has been doing his best to help the court, but he is forced to bear a lot of infamy.
