Chapter 285: True and False in the Book of Heaven

After the cold food, all officials came to court.

The servant Zhou Huaizheng held the memorial in his hand, and played excitedly: "Report to the officials, the Yongxing Army inspected Zhu Neng to play the report, and the heavenly book appeared in Qianyou Mountain!"

"What does the heavenly script say?"

Zhou Huaizheng presented the memorial in front of the emperor: "Official Royal View!"

The emperor was overjoyed after seeing it, and even said two words "good".

Ding Wei, a political adviser, hurriedly said: "The holiness of the official family, since the heavenly scriptures appeared at the Chengtian Gate in the imperial city, the heavens sent down the scriptures twice to show auspiciousness. !"

The Golden Palace was full of singing and echoing voices: "Longevity is boundless!"

Zhou Huaizheng said: "The emperor sent a letter to Qianyou Mountain again. It can be said that the country's fortune is prosperous. The officials are now ordering the world to celebrate with the whole country."

The emperor was overjoyed, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay! I will issue an edict now!"

Amidst the congratulatory voices of all the ministers, one person came out to stop him: "Officials, this edict cannot be issued, cannot be issued!"

"Oh? Xiaoxian, why can't this edict be issued?"

"Officials, the sky is silent, and there are books?"

"As you said, the Heavenly Book is fake?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhu Neng is a treacherous villain. He started his career with false words and auspiciousness. The world has long discussed it. Today's so-called Ganyou Mountain Heavenly Book must have been forged by him in an attempt to confuse the saints. I beg to kill Zhu Neng to thank the world!"

"You!" The emperor pointed at Wang Zeng angrily, wanting to explode, but held back, "Xiao Xian, you are also a man of great learning, don't you know that the world is so big and full of wonders, why don't you believe in miracles and visions?"

"I only know common sense, but don't know vision!"

In the golden palace, because of Wang Zeng's blunt words, the atmosphere was tense for a moment.

The emperor was refuted face-to-face by his ministers, his face was lost, and he wanted to get angry. He also thought of the friendship between the emperor and his ministers, and couldn't bear to reprimand him.

Zhou Huaizheng said with a wink, "Officials, no matter how courageous Zhu Neng is, he would not dare to forge heavenly scriptures and offend the gods."

Wang Zeng said angrily: "It's just because your Majesty's trust and auspiciousness gave the villain an opportunity to take advantage of it, so there are many people who lie and ask for credit!"

"Oh, my lord, you have no official eyes, and your words are too presumptuous."

The emperor looked at the angry Wang Zeng, and suppressed his anger: "Go on."

"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, 'When a country is about to prosper, listen to the people; when it is about to perish, listen to God'. I sincerely hope that Your Majesty must not follow ghosts, gods, and evil spirits, and should severely punish villains who forge heavenly scriptures, as an example to others!"

Hearing this, Zhou Huaizheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Book of Qianyou Mountain is true!"

Wang Zeng: "The Heavenly Book of Qianyou Mountain must be false!"

"real!"

"fake!"

"real!"

"Fake!"

Above the court, there are two factions, both of which hold their own opinions, arguing endlessly for a while.

The emperor suddenly felt dizzy, and thought of Wang Dan nostalgicly. Ziming was still there, and he would definitely be able to make a decision on this matter according to his own will.

He has always been highly regarded by the public, as long as he speaks out, the debate among the officials can stop.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help feeling sad.

Song Shou, who was standing at the end, noticed the emperor's impatience, and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the only way to know whether the Heavenly Book is true or not is to ask one person."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, who should I ask?"

"Lord Kou!"

"Kou Zhun?"

"Yes, Mr. Kou sentenced the Yongxing Army. Qianyou Mountain is under his jurisdiction. If there are any heavenly books descended, just ask!"

"Hey!" the emperor said disappointedly, "Kou Zhun never believed in heavenly scriptures, and asking him would only be boring."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Kou never believed in heavenly scriptures. Only by asking him can he conquer the world."

Song Shou's original intention was to expect that Kou Zhun would tell the truth that there was no heavenly book in Qianyou Mountain, so that he could alert the officials and tell them not to believe the villain's words.

However, Kou Zhun's uprightness and never believing in heavenly scriptures also made the emperor very dissatisfied. The emperor thought that if he went to ask Kou Zhun, it would be another round of persuasion, so he waved his hand and said:

"That's all, it's so troublesome to send someone to investigate after traveling thousands of miles. Is this Qianyoushan Heavenly Book? Just ask."

Hearing this, Zhou Huaizheng became anxious.

If the officials didn't ask Ganyoushan Tianshu, where else would he and Zhu Neng get the reward?

Therefore, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, no, no! How can you take the treasured book from the sky lightly." He approached the emperor again, and said in a low voice, "Even if Mr. Kou speaks outspokenly, he will not say that there is nothing, and that the truth is true." Call it a lie."

The emperor thought about it.
Nod slowly.

The order said: "Zhou Huaizheng, I order you to go to Chang'an immediately, order Kou Zhun to investigate the matter of Qianyoushan Tianshu, and report it truthfully."

"As ordered!"

Everyone has their own plans for Qianyoushan's Tianshu.

The emperor didn't want to send someone to go to Kou Zhun to check the authenticity of the heavenly scriptures, but after thinking about it, Kou Zhun had been let out for many years by himself, so he should have lost his edge, and today he borrowed the heavenly scriptures to give him a try.

If he is willing to follow his own will and report that there is indeed a heavenly book in Qianyou Mountain, then there is a vacancy for the prime minister now, and he will just be appointed as the prime minister.

If he refuses, then stay in Chang'an.

Song Shou and Wang Zeng breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Kou never believed in heavenly scriptures, Zhou Huaizheng went there this time, and he would definitely come back in failure, and Zhu Neng, the inspector of the Yongxing Army, would definitely be punished.

On the other hand, Ding Wei was also rejoicing.

Kou Zhun is like a stubborn rock, this time he will definitely disobey the emperor's will again, and it will be difficult to make a comeback from now on, the position of prime minister is definitely in his pocket.

When the news reached Kou's house, Mrs. Kou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

She doesn't understand the court affairs, but she knows that this is definitely a dilemma for her husband.

If this time my husband persists as usual and insists that the heavenly scriptures are non-existent, I am afraid that the officials will no longer miss their old love, and my husband may only be an official in another place in this life.

But if you go against your will and obey the villain, and there are indeed heavenly scriptures in the above, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world.

She hurriedly edited a book, and asked her eldest son-in-law Wang Shu to send it to Chang'an urgently. She wanted to remind her husband that the matter was complicated, but it was up to him to decide how to decide.

However, before Wang Shu arrived, the servant Zhou Huaizheng had already arrived in Chang'an. When he saw Kou Zhun, he sent the emperor himself to order Kou Zhun to check whether the Tianshu of Qianyou Mountain was true or not.

After hearing this, Kou Zhun swept away his past melancholy, and returned to his residence happily.

"Qian Tao, bring the wine, bring the wine."

Qian Tao came with the wine and asked with a smile, "What is your lord's happy event today, and you want to have a drink as soon as you come back?"

"The ambassador is here."

Qian Tao asked in surprise: "Did the emperor send an envoy to summon your lord to return to the court?"

"No, no, I came here to check with the old man whether the Heavenly Book of Qianyou Mountain is real or not."

"Oh." Qian Tao was immediately disappointed, "Don't ask Lian Po if he can eat, but lie to ask whether the book is fake or true. The court's move is very absurd. I don't know where the lord is happy?"

"Hey, Qian Tao, think about it, the emperor knows that I never believe in heavenly scriptures, why did he come to me to testify this time?"

Qian Tao: "Could it be that the emperor is not partial this time?"

"If you listen to one side, you will be dark, if you listen to both, you will be clear. The emperor's move, I am pleased, this old man is pleased! Qian Tao, pour the wine."
