Chapter 581
Princess Jiaoyang scolds the court officials
The magnificent Fengtian Hall.
Solemn and dignified, yet magnificent.
On the throne of the Nine Dragons, the emperor sat upright.
There was a stool on each side of his left and right, and Du Qian and Du Wan were respectively sitting.
Pei Hao had a sword hanging around his waist and stood in the position of the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Musian had long been integrated into the ranks of military officers below.
Since it was reported that the emperor was sick, Du Qian was acting in court again, and this was the first time the emperor went to court.
The emperor's face was not good, but his momentum was still there. "You are the dear friends who have rebelled in the Northwest Wei family. You should have heard of it. If you have any suggestions, you must discuss a result this morning."
The courtiers below were as quiet as chickens.
After waiting for a long time, no one stood up and spoke.
The emperor actually expected that these people would only stand up and obstruct them when he wanted to do something, and also quote the scriptures as if they were the right attitude. If he agreed to send troops today, they would jump out to oppose them. If he could not send troops, they would oppose them again.
In short, these people are just picking on the thorns.
The emperor calmed down again and said, "Since no one stood up, I will ask you whether to send troops or not? Don't pretend to be mute for me at this time. Aren't you very good at talking on weekdays?"
After a long time, one person finally stepped out. It was Duke Zhenguo. "Emperor, for the prestige and face of the Qin Dynasty, I support the sending troops to fight against the thieves of the Defence."
"Emperor, my husband opposes sending troops." The one who stood up this time was the Minister of War.
The Minister of War said sternly: "Sending troops not only wastes people and money, but we cannot afford to suffer now. There have been several natural disasters in succession, and it is difficult for the people to fill their stomachs. If we fight again, it will undoubtedly add insult to injury. The most important point is that we cannot collect all the food and grass. Therefore, I think people should be sent to recruit people to persuade them to surrender."
No one dared to say something wrong.
Everyone knows that the Qin Kingdom is currently short of food.
If the emperor insisted on sending troops, weapons and the work of raising food and grass would fall on the head of the Minister of War. In fact, some people understood the reason why Mr. Ma opposed it.
At this time, a minister stood up and followed the Minister of War.
Musian also stood up and supported the Duke of Zhenguo to send troops.
Sure enough, some people agree but some people oppose it. There is no need to think about what will happen next, and there will be no result after arguing. If the emperor attends too many court meetings, he will naturally understand the nature of these ministers.
"Since that's the case, then Shangshu Ma will go."
A woman's crisp voice rang in the court, "Emperor, I agree that Ma Shangshu personally went to the northwest to persuade the Wei family to surrender. If it succeeds, it will be a great joy for everyone. There is no need to spend a single soldier or a soldier, and there is no need to waste the people and money."
Emperor: "..." Is Wanwan serious?
Du Qian: "…"
What are my sisters getting involved at this time? Let them argue again.
Pei Hao wiped his wife's cold sweat. Her words undoubtedly offended the Minister of War. You should know that some ministers will only make various suggestions in the court. The person who executes them is often not themselves, and they will not involve dangerous things, but most of the credit will fall on them.
The civil and military officials below all looked up at Du Wan sitting on it.
Du Wan sat steadily and had a very positive attitude.
In fact, she didn't want to get involved, and she really didn't want to think too much. She just saw that the emperor seemed to be angry and she didn't make a sound. Will he vomit blood again? This is too harmful to his body.
Long before he went to court, Du Wan knew that the emperor's health had not improved yet, so she did not agree with him to take charge of the overall situation.
Because some ministers' faces are really unpleasant.
Either he was angry or he was still angry. The more he cared, the more he would be angry.
During the period when Du Wan was looking for entertainment gossip headlines last year, she had already seen through some court officials.
Most people have a strong sense of selfishness, and the most important thing is always family interests.
The interests of the country are only a means for some people to seek benefits.
In fact, they have never considered the interests of the country. The Qin Dynasty is not very concerned about what they are not very concerned about. What they care most about is how to protect their own interests, how to benefit their families, and how to survive in social unrest.
When the new dynasty was established, they thought about how to gain a foothold in the new dynasty, etc.
Du Wan had no intention of despising them, because both Du and Pei had similar ideas. Perhaps this idea was a universal idea. For example, when she grew up, she was talking about the country.
And the bureaucrats here are used to mentioning family and country.
Country, country!
First there is home, then there is country.
But some people are often very beautiful when they speak.
What is exhausting the people and losing money, what is selfless?
What kind of country is responsible for the rise and fall of every man?
Fraud! All are big frauds.
Du Wan looked at the Minister of War with a cold look and snorted coldly, "Some people are really so responsible. Balabala in the court every day, oppose this and that. They talk a lot of great truths. When they encounter dangerous tasks, they escape faster than anyone else. Haha, look at them, they eat fat all over, and they are still yelling about worrying about the country and the people?"
"I want to ask, how do you worry about the country and the people?"
"So what, I've made you worry like one and two big people outside."
"It can be seen from this that there must be a lot of food stored in the mansion."
"..." It's over!
So much has been said before, it can be ignored.
The latter one is the key point or the key point.
Then, the more important thing is to come later, Du Wan's unrelenting speculation, "There is so short of food in the market, it's not that you are hoarding food in private."
As soon as these words came out.
Some civil and military officials below, especially the fat and fat group of officials, were all so scared that their faces were pale. The aggression of the princess's words can be said to be indistinguishable.
"No!" Someone knelt down in panic and left behind, "I definitely don't! I just grew fatter, and the doctor said it was fat. It was not related to whether I was eating well."
"I vowed to the heaven that I never hoarded food in private... The doctor said that I am a physique that can make you fat if you drink water."
"Weichen dares to use the head of the Xiang Shang to guarantee..."
"..." They knelt down and showed their loyalty, explained all kinds of excuses, and found them very strange.
Just now, I was talking about the issues of the Northwest rebels.
Now, the style of painting suddenly changed.
Just because Princess Jiaoyang said a few words, especially those excuses that people found, they almost made the emperor happy.
Du Qian next to him occasionally raised his sleeve and coughed silently, just to cover up the smile at the corner of his mouth.
It's quite interesting, my sister should go to court often! Seeing that she was governing the court officials, she didn't dare to say anything. Although she was a little bit generalized, it makes sense to think about it carefully.
Chapter completed!
