spring event night

Jiang Shan asked for leave at the court meeting at the end of the month. The weather was hot, and the old masters at the court meeting talked at length for several hours.

Duan Xian stood in front of the full-length mirror and changed his clothes. Looking back, Jiang Shan was lying on the bed covered with ivory mats, wearing a thin shirt, with loose hair, and was held by him to one side.The sun was rising outside the window, and the golden light fell on a clump of green bamboo in front of the window.After all, this place is no better than Huaiyue Tower, and I feel warm in the morning.

Duanxian walked to the bedside, "Are you really not going?"

"I'm not going." Jiang Shan closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing serious, why should I listen to them scolding me?"

Duan Xian sat down by the bed and pushed him, "Let me tell you, this thing is addictive. If you don't go to court once, you won't want to went."

Jiang Shan opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtain for a while, then said, "Let's talk about it later."

Duan Xian looked at his bleary-eyed look, thought it was funny, took a fan from the pillow, and fanned him while saying: "Will you still be lying on the bed when I go to court next time? "

Jiang Shan said: "How can it be, I will get up in a while."

Duan Xian said with a smile: "It's okay to be sorry, I'll just sleep with you when the time comes."

Jiang Shan blushed slightly, grabbed the fan from Duanxian's hand and covered his face, saying: "Go quickly, it will be late later!"

The smiling side presented another look.There are still many officials kneeling at Zhengyang Gate, and the long seesaw has caused a lot of turmoil. Shen Nan hinted more than once that Duanxian should resolve this matter as soon as possible.

At the Great Court Meeting, the young emperor sat high on the dragon chair, and many people also noticed Jiang Shan's absence, and they took it as a harbinger of success.

When Liang Ge saw that Jiang Shan was not standing in the front, his back straightened up a little.

Duan Xian scanned the crowd from above, and his eyes fell on Lu Shang.The Lu merchants agreed and went out to play.

"It has now been found out that the son of the Zuoqian capital censor bullied the city and robbed the women of the people. In order to seize the apprentices of the Zhaojia Village in the west of the city, he poisoned Zhao's father and son, forcibly took Zhao's daughter as a concubine and tortured him to death. Zuoqian capital censor He bent the law for personal gain and colluded with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, causing the sufferer to throw himself into the river with nowhere to go."

A minister standing beside Liang Ge knelt down on the ground with a plop, his face was ashen-colored, and he was shaking like chaff.

Liang Ge's complexion changed slightly.

It's not over yet, Lu Shang continued: "Wenyuange University scholar has been corrupt and accepted bribes, sold his officials and honored titles, and left the court's laws and regulations in vain. His crime should be executed."

The scholar Wenyuange is also a veteran minister, he is more stable than the previous one, and he will be wronged when he opens his mouth.

Lu Shang glanced at him, and said, "Jin Yiwei dug up 12 taels of gold in the Jinxiang Courtyard that your lord bought for the outer room. I don't know how many years your lord has to be an official to save 12 taels of gold."

The Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion's complexion suddenly changed, his lips trembled, and he was unable to utter a word.

Lu Shang continued to speak, and every time a person's name was read, a person would kneel on the ground. Liang Ge closed his eyes in despair as he heard the accusations one after another.

Duan Xian propped his head, and casually swept across the crowd, he waved his hand lightly, and Lu Shang stopped.

"Let's talk about this first." Duan Xian said: "The above-mentioned people are all taken into custody and handed over to the third division for interrogation, and they will be thoroughly investigated."

Duan Xian looked at the courtiers with different expressions, "Maybe I want you to see how many shady things are hidden in this huge court hall."

His Highness was completely silent, and the young courtiers couldn't believe it in their eyes. They couldn't believe that what they fought for and who were their role models was actually such a group of people.Most of the veterans understand in their hearts that these crimes are not manipulable and whitewashed crimes of disrespect. They are real crimes that will be reviled wherever they are placed. .

But from another perspective, isn't this His Majesty's counterattack against them?Once the fig leaf of the scholars is lifted, the aura of these courtiers will no longer be, what else can they use to maintain their supremacy in the hearts of the people.

Duan Xian's eyes fell on Liang Ge, "Lord Liang, look at what these people are doing. They are all people who have read sage books. How could they do such a thing? I still think that every courtier is a The same loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness as Mr. Liang, but unexpectedly there are some hypocritical and cunning people."

The moment the voice fell, everyone moved away from Liang Ge tacitly. Liang Ge was silent for a long time, and said: "I should not be praised by Your Majesty."

Duan Xian sneered, and there was no lack of malice in his tone.

After this court meeting, the number of kneeling courtiers at Zhengyang Gate decreased a lot, and gradually many literati praised Duan Xian's actions, calling him a wise monarch.

And most of the people in the court, they all know what will happen next.Establishing Jiang Shan as queen is almost a certainty.

The weather in summer is changeable. When Jiang Shan went out earlier, the sun was still shining brightly. When he got there, there were many dark clouds in the sky.

Jiang Shan climbed up to the tall building, and Lu Shang stood in front of the window, not knowing what he was looking at.

"You asked me to come out in such a hurry, what happened?" Jiang Shan straightened his thin summer clothes, and sat down on a chair beside him.

Lu Shang looked back at him and said, "If my mother didn't urge me, I wouldn't want to bother you."

"Princess Zhiyang?" Jiang Shan asked, "Is there anything related to Princess Zhiyang?"

"Naturally, it is for His Majesty to make a queen." Lu Shangdao: "A while ago, His Majesty got angry with many people, and now no one in the court dares to touch His Majesty's bad luck. Everyone thinks that His Majesty will soon make you a queen. I Mother is afraid that His Majesty will really do something bad, so she asked me to find out."

Jiang Shan laughed, "It's because of this matter. It's all just chasing rumors. Those ministers in front forced him so much. His Majesty is angry and will naturally explode. It has nothing to do with the matter of establishing a queen."

Lu Shang nodded, and after a while, he asked again: "Did His Majesty mention the matter of making you queen?"

"Although I mentioned it, but I refused." Jiang Shandao: "Originally, it was just a matter of a few pieces of ice. If you rushed there, your majesty just followed the trend. If you can't do it, let it go It's nothing, it's just that the ministers of the previous dynasty reacted too much one by one, and they really took it seriously."

"You said it lightly." Lu Shangdao: "If the ministers are not careful, you are probably the queen by now."

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Where?"

The little girl served tea and placed it by Jiang Shan's hand. Jiang Shan looked at it but didn't move.

Lu Shang saw it and said, "You don't touch food outside the palace at all, you look like someone from the palace now."

Jiang Shan smiled and asked: "It's been two years, and you think I look like a palace man?"

Lu Shang took a sip of his tea and said lightly, "You are very different from the people in the palace. There are only two kinds of people in the palace. One is the master, like your majesty, and the other is the slave, which is everywhere in the palace. You and They are all different, tell me, you are not suitable to stay in the palace."

Jiang Shan's smile gradually faded. He looked at the lake and mountains outside the window, but didn't speak.The wind blows into the small building, shaking Jiang Shan's clothes.

"Why did you refuse to be a queen? Is it because the situation forced me to make this difficult? Or is it because," Lu Shang looked at Jiang Shan's profile, "you don't want to be a queen."

Jiang Shan thought for a while, "If I agree with His Majesty, His Majesty will do this no matter what, and maybe go to war. Anyway, His Majesty just said something casually, and may not really take it to heart."

Lu Shang looked at Jiang Shan, "Do you think His Majesty is someone who can speak casually?"

After Jiang Shan paused, Lu Shang looked straight at Jiang Shan, "It's because you don't want to be a queen."

Jiang Shan frowned, he didn't want to continue talking about this matter, and said: "After all, you already know that I will not be a queen, go back and reassure Princess Zhiyang."

After all, Jiang Shan got up and wanted to leave.Lu Shang glanced at his back and said, "The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Don't you want to hear my opinion as a bystander?"

Jiang Shan stopped, and he turned to look at Lu Shang.

Lu Shang held his hands behind his back, "Your Majesty asked if you would like to be a queen, which has nothing to do with state affairs. He is probably just testing you. And your answer, no matter how good the reasons are, in the eyes of His Majesty, there is only one answer, you are not willing to be queen." Queen."

Jiang Shan frowned, "Then how should I answer?"

"The answer is not important," Lu Shang said, "The important thing is why His Majesty wanted to test you."

The torrential rain poured down, and the mountain wind whizzed past the small building, blowing through Jiang Shan's skirt like wind and rain.

The author has something to say: Duanxian will test because Duanxian is not at ease, try to make more tomorrow
