Chapter 1 Wrestling in the Court (1)

"Your Majesty, I have my original report." At this time, a man walked out from behind the Prime Minister Ji Zongyuan. He was about fifty years old. He had a thin face, a sparse beard, thin and slender hands, a very dignified complexion, and a rather dignified manner.

Because of his elegance, he gave people the impression of being very bookish. Li Yu began to guess that this person must be doing secretarial work in the court, similar to the secretary-general in his previous life.

"Bing Ai Qing, is it possible that something went wrong with the county guards in various places? Please report it quickly." As Li Yu expected, this person was Bing Yinnian, the royal censor of the court, who was in charge of the memorials of the ministers and issued the emperor's edict.

Only the emperor Li Zhi had such a question. However, the imperial censor was one of the three princes and had very practical authority. If the governors from various places wanted to present the emperor's memorials, they had to go through him first.

Only with approval can it be sent to Emperor Li Zhi for review. The power in his hands is great, second only to the position of prime minister, but much greater than the secretary-general in the previous life.

"As your Majesty expected, Bao Zixuan, the governor of Panyang County, which is closest to me, Liyang, has something to ask for. Please allow your Majesty to go to the palace. He said that this matter is related to the safety of the entire capital city of Liyang. The situation is critical. Because the incident happened suddenly and the consequences

It's so important that I don't dare to make my own decision. I drove the express fast for two consecutive days without stopping for a moment, arriving at starry night to ask Your Majesty to make a decision quickly." The expression of Bing Yinnian, the imperial censor, was also very solemn.

"Come here quickly to see me." Li Zhi's face was gloomy, and his heart was pounding. There was obviously an ominous sign, and he felt that something big must have happened.

"It is said that Bao Zixuan, the governor of Panyang County, went to the palace to pay an audience..."

Following the summons from Wu Shouli's high-pitched voice, Li Yu saw at a glance the person who had recognized his identity as the crown prince just by looking at the clothes he was wearing. He was also the initiator of the farce just now, with a charcoal-black complexion.

He was so sexy that his clothes were torn in twos and threes in some places. He ran all the way with his head lowered and entered the political hall in a panic.

"Weak minister Bao Zixuan, the governor of Panyang County, bows to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Bao Zixuan entered the palace, came up and bowed his head, and shouted long live.

At this time, the emperor Li Zhi didn't care about letting him stand up, and asked urgently: "Master Bao, I'm here to ask you, if you don't pay court ceremony and don't pay tribute, you are not the director of your Panyang County, why do you run away?"

What are you doing in the capital Liyang?"

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. It is not what the county wants. However, the matter is serious and I dare not make any independent claims. I can only come here at night to ask your Majesty to make a decision." Just outside the palace, Li Yu couldn't see the face of this person.

But at this moment, he was in the palace with bright candlelight. After a closer look, he saw that Bao Zixuan really had a tired look on his face, especially his hair was messy and his boots were stained with mud.

, I am really in a bit of a mess. If I go to court like this in normal times, I will be punished with lese majeste.

"What kind of emergency makes you so embarrassed?" Emperor Li Zhi asked with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Panyang County is in danger right now!"

"Where do you say this?" Emperor Li Zhi asked.

"Your Majesty, Yao Qixing, a county lieutenant of Datong County not far from Panyang County, has mutinied for some unknown reason. Not only did he kill Jiang Yuhui, the governor of Datong, but he also led all

The 70,000-strong army in Panyang County came towards me and killed me. At first, I thought it was an enemy attack in Liyang City. I thought he was leading the troops to support me, so he let me pass through the gate of Panyang City. Unexpectedly, I killed everyone as soon as I entered.

, riches were plundered, and the entire city of Panyang County was now a river of blood. The people and my Panyang garrison were killed and injured countless times. When I saw the Datong County Lieutenant killing my Panyang garrison and maiming the people like this, I thought what if there was someone in Liyang.

In case of danger, Your Majesty must have informed Panyang County, which is closest to Liyang, in advance. Why did he cross the border to ask for help? He must have a rebellion plan. Originally, Datong County had more than 30,000 more soldiers and horses than Panyang County. In addition,

We also rushed back to fight, and we didn't have much resistance or chance of victory. Now I'm afraid that the entire Panyang County will fall." After saying this, he fell to the ground crying and wailing for a while.

"What did you say? Are you serious?" Emperor Li Zhi heard this and stood up from the dragon throne in surprise.

All the ministers were also in an uproar. The Datong County captain rebelled with his troops and rebelled. This was beyond everyone's expectation. Is this captain crazy? With so few soldiers and horses in his hands.

I still want to rebel and destroy the country.

Li Yu, who was originally very sleepy, suddenly heard such news. He lost all sleep, his mind was clearer than ever, and he exclaimed, "Damn it, I really have a trick in this world*"

The potential for greatness, no matter where you go, major once-in-a-lifetime events will happen. Well, now Li Yu began to feel that this trip was not in vain, at least there was something good to watch, thinking to himself

This is someone who refuses to obey your control, Li Zhi, and wants to rebel. It seems that it is the same everywhere in the world. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

"Why are you reporting such important military information now? What do you, the governor of Panyang, do for a living? Do you know how to play with power and women?" Li Zhi began to get angry.

"This..." Bao Zixuan, who stammered for a long time, did not say anything else. He glanced at the imperial censor, Bing Yinnian, and hesitated for a long time. He had something to say, but when he saw Bing Yinnian, the imperial censor's face turned dark, he became fierce.

He swallowed hard the words that just popped out of his mouth.

Emperor Li Zhi was about to get angry when he saw this scene.

Bing Yinnian, the censor doctor, knelt down on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of the humble minister. Today at Yinshi, Bao Zixuan has arrived at the palace gate. He once said that there is something important that needs to be reported to your Majesty in person, so I asked the minister to do it for you.

Announcement, but Weichen saw that Mao Shi was coming, and the time for going to court was about to arrive, so it was better to let him wait for a while. When it was time to go to court, it would not be a bad idea for Weichen to inform His Majesty, so we postponed it until now.

It is the fault of the humble minister, and the fault does not lie with the governor Bao. It is all the fault of the humble minister. Please punish the minister for his fault."

This imperial censor, Bingyin, was a bachelor at this age. When the critical moment came, he did not add insult to injury. Instead, he took the blame on himself. When Li Yu looked at this man, he couldn't help but be filled with doubts. You must know that in this era,

Working beside the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground in an instant. When the emperor investigates the responsibility, it will be too late to hide. How can anyone speak for others and take the blame on themselves?

It's good to be someone who takes pleasure in misfortune. At least they won't do anything to you. What's more, they're adding insult to injury and draining the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. That's what you call ruthless. I heard that the imperial censor was willing to risk his life, so he also wanted to defend Bao Zixuan.
