travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 192 Chang'an
"Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting in the hall for a long time."

As soon as he got out of Jinyiwei prison, Yue Xiaobao greeted him. Because he was not liked by Zhao Fei, although Yue Xiaobao was called the palace supervisor, he always kept a low profile.

It's just that no matter how low-key people were, they had to stand up and preside over the situation after what happened last night.

Overnight, Chang'an changed.

While everyone was admiring the fireworks that were suddenly set off in the sky, a group of fierce soldiers suddenly appeared in Chang'an City, making many people feel uneasy that Chang'an had mutinied.

But what happened immediately made many people think about it and couldn't figure it out.

For example, Prince Gong Zhao Yong, who was originally dead, came back to life, and was arrested by Jin Yiwei and put into prison. Then soldiers rushed into Prince Luo's mansion and took Prince Luo Zhao Xi and his son away. The governor of Chang'an brought people here theory, and was immediately captured by the soldiers on the spot.

The entire city of Chang'an was suddenly in turmoil. Some powerful families hid at home and did not dare to go out, some packed up their clothes and fled to the palace, and some organized soldiers to fight against soldiers who were arresting people everywhere. But there is no doubt that None of the latter end well.

Especially when two things happened, one was that people suddenly discovered that the Habayashi Army had never appeared in the chaos of Chang'an City for so long, and the second was that someone recognized that the general who led the troops was exiled to Chu Xuan at the border.

The moment Chu Xuan was recognized, everyone knew that it must have something to do with the Supreme in the palace.

So, all of a sudden, all the dignitaries in Chang'an flocked to the palace, intending to question the emperor in the palace why the soldiers were arresting people everywhere in Chang'an city.

However, the requests of the dignitaries were destined to be unanswered, Zhao Fei didn't see what they were thinking, and just ordered Yue Xiaobao to place all the dignitaries in the hall.

At first everyone thought that Zhao Fei was going to see them to explain the situation, but then they realized that they were wrong, because they had waited all night but had not seen His Majesty.

"Qin Hui, you are the prime minister of the imperial court. How dare you say that you don't know about Chu Xuan leading the troops back to the capital?" An old man in fine clothes glared at Qin Hui angrily.

Qin Hui's half-closed eyes slowly opened, and he said helplessly, "Qi Guogong, it's really not that I, Qin, lied to you. I really don't know about Chu Xuan's return to Chang'an."

"Then you always know what His Majesty is going to do?" Qi Guogong said angrily.

"I don't know." Qin Hui shook his head and said, "The emperor's heart is not something that the subordinates should guess at will."

"Hmph!" Duke Qi snorted coldly, and said, "Then you should know where His Majesty is!"

"Your Majesty is naturally in the palace." Qin Hui said.

"Then why didn't His Majesty see me waiting?"

"I don't know about that." Qin Hui said with a smile: "We are ministers, and your majesty is a king. It is necessary to report our affairs to your majesty, but there is no need to report your majesty's affairs to us."

"Qin Hui, you..."

Qi Guogong pointed at Qin Hui and stared angrily, but he was not in a hurry, but Chang'an Yin who was arrested was his son-in-law. The son-in-law was arrested, how could he not be in a hurry as a father-in-law.

Seeing Qin Hui standing there calmly at this moment, Qi Guogong couldn't help feeling anxious. Just when he was about to say something more, Yue Xiaobao's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"His Majesty is here!"

Before Anping was favored, although there were several great eunuchs in the entire imperial palace, Yue Xiaobao was always the most powerful one, and the ones who can stand in the main hall today are basically veterans who have been in the court for decades, naturally all of them are familiar with Yue Xiaobao's voice.

Although Zhao Fei only ordered Yue Xiaobao to arrange people who would seek to see him in the main hall, Yue Xiaobao still screened and blocked some low-level officials from outside the palace, and those who could enter the main hall were basically the people who called the wind and rain in Chang'an City on weekdays.

"We will join your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

When Zhao Fei's face finally appeared in front of the officials, all the officials fell to their knees and blessed Zhao Fei loudly, regardless of continuing the discussion.

Zhao Fei quickly walked through the group of officials, sat on the throne, and said: "Everyone is flat!"

Although Zhao Fei's voice was low, none of the people in the hall were listening to all directions, and immediately stood up neatly, and then looked at Zhao Fei in unison.

Facing the ministers, Zhao Fei smiled and said: "I know what you want to say, but there are some things I can say, and some things I can't say. As for what can be said and what can't be said, I think You are so smart, you must know."

"I understand." The ministers said one after another.

"Just understand." Zhao Fei nodded, looked at Qin Hui and said, "I am impatient to listen to the questions one by one, I think you have stood in this hall for so long, you must know what everyone wants to know, and you will replace them Ask questions!"

"Yes." Qin Hui nodded, stepped forward, and said, "Your Majesty, when will Chang'an City be lifted?"

Qin Hui's question was very interesting. He obviously asked when the ban would be lifted, but actually he just wanted to know when Zhao Fei wanted to end the chaos in Chang'an City.

Of course Zhao Fei knew what Qin Hui wanted to ask, and said with a smile, "The four gates can be opened today."

Qin Hui nodded and said, "May I ask how those who were arrested in Chang'an last night will be dealt with?"

"Those who are guilty will be investigated according to law, and those who are not guilty will be released." Zhao Fei said, "As for the guilt or innocence, they will be examined. You don't need to know when to release them, just wait patiently."

Qin Hui nodded again and said, "I don't have anything to ask."

Seeing that Qin Hui retreated to his position, Zhao Fei stood up, looked at the officials and said, "I know that you are like ants on a hot pot at the moment, you really want to know what I am going to do, but as I said before, some If you don’t ask about things, I will tell you, and if you ask about some things, I will not tell you.”

Seeing that all the ministers were thinking, Zhao Fei went on to say: "In the past few years of my reign, it can be said that there are internal and external troubles. Internal worries are treacherous officials who rule the country, and external enemies invade. I have heard a saying that unity is strength, and I have heard it again. In a word, to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. I think these two sentences are very reasonable. I combined them, that is, only when the inside is safe can we unite, have strength, and fight against the outside world. I don’t know what you think? "

"My lord is holy!" All the ministers praised.

Zhao Fei was very satisfied with the attitude of the ministers, and said: "The incident last night was something I had planned for a long time, there is no need for you to worry about it, as I said before, I will not let the guilty one go, and I will not let the innocent one There are many things. The ancients said that the sage emperor ruled from the arch, but the premise of ruling from the arch is that there must be a group of wise ministers. I hope that you, a group of wise ministers, can help me create a country of eternal peace, just like this Chang'an The name of the city is the same, long-term peace and stability!"

"My lord is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers knelt down on the ground and praised Zhao Fei loudly.

Zhao Fei squinted his eyes and smiled, and waited for the officials to stand up, then he said unhurriedly: "You must be very surprised why I came so late, because before I came, I got the news that Prince Gong Zhao Yong was at the meeting last night. During the war, he committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Ignoring the varying expressions of the ministers, Zhao Fei called Qin Hui and others to a meeting in the imperial study to discuss the aftermath of Chang'an City.

The ministers also left the palace with different expressions, thinking about Zhao Yong's death for a while, a country with long-term peace and stability for a while, and finally long-term peace and stability in their minds.

Chang'an, Chang'an, long-term peace and stability.
