Jiayou fun things

Chapter 92 All because of Lu Yan (2)

After a night of fierce fighting, the prime minister's mansion was almost razed to the ground, and only a few partial houses were saved.

In addition, there are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, blood ice is everywhere, and there are still some places where the embers reignite from time to time, the fire is flashing, and the black smoke is rising into the sky. It is really impossible to entertain guests.

After leaving the imperial city, Zhu Chong and the others had a very tacit understanding. They passed straight through the gate of the Prime Minister's residence, and went to the next door to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which was not affected last night and was still intact.

In the spacious, tall and quaintly furnished hall, Zhu Chong and others took their seats in order according to their official positions, and soon someone brought some fragrant tea.

Bai Changkong's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word after taking his seat.

His face represented his attitude.

At the great meeting today, he suffered a loss.

Because of the 'friendship help' of the general Le Wu, it can be said that everyone in the world knows that Lu Lu, who had a marriage contract with his granddaughter Bai Changkong, was willing to degenerate and joined the eunuch.

In this matter, the reputation of the Bai family was damaged, and the reputation of Bai Changkong was also affected.

Although Bai Changkong used the tricks of twelve sages to come to the door to ask for marriage, it more or less saved some public opinion.

But this kind of trick can fool those ignorant ordinary people. For these shrewd and old colleagues in the culture and education, this little trick has a fart use.Everyone knew very well that what Lu Hao did was a slap in the face, which made Bai Changkong unrecognizable.

Therefore, at the great court meeting, Bai Changkong mobilized so many disciples, as well as the henchmen and lackeys they had assembled, to snipe Lu Yan.

Even if Huang Luqian's title cannot be completely disturbed, at least his title should be reduced by two or three grades.

Only in this way can he express his will of Bai Changkong.

In this way, in the hearts of many people, Bai Changkong's damaged reputation, reputation, and all kinds of tangible and intangible things can be restored.

Otherwise, a younger generation who joined the eunuch party and regretted his engagement with the Bai family, was actually promoted to a fortune, made a meritorious deed and enthroned him in a short period of time. Where would you put this old face of Bai Changkong?Where do you let the Bai family's dough go?
Some people might even think this way—Oh, Lu Hao regretted his marriage and didn’t marry Mrs. Bai Lu, so he was sealed as a duke?
Once these words spread, it would be a fatal blow to Bai Lu's reputation.

If in the future, Bai Lu's husband-in-law can't be proclaimed a duke, and can't surpass Lu Lu in terms of 'fame and wealth', no matter how Bai Family and Zhu Yu build momentum for Bai Lu, her reputation will not be much better.

The contrast is put there, the contrast is too strong.

Therefore, Bai Changkong made a ruthless decision to take action against Lu Ru at the great court meeting.

However, Zhu Chong's glance caused Bai Changkong to die, and he watched helplessly as Lu Yan got a huge benefit.

Sealing the duke, conferring festivals, conferring a large family, getting a guard of honor, and so many fields, mines, pastures, etc., it can be said that the skeleton of a rich and powerful family was built by Yinyuan with one hand.

The more benefits Lu Ruo gets, the more 'defamation' Bai Changkong, Bai Jia, and Bai Lu will receive, and the more tragic the loss of their reputation and prestige will be.

As one of the banners on the Haojing Chaotang launched by Culture and Education, Bai Changkong has suffered a great loss today.

So he must tighten his face and give everyone a clear signal - because of your affairs, I have been damaged, how to deal with this matter, you can decide.

Zhu Chong took a teacup and took a few sips of tea.

He looked at Bai Changkong, and then at the dozen or so silent ministers of culture and education at the core of Haojing who were silent in the hall, put down the tea cup, and sighed softly.

"Master Bai has been wronged today."

Bai Changkong was silent for a while, put down the tea cup, stood up, and bowed to Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong, the direct descendant of Zhu Sheng's lineage, is the current prime minister.

Bai Changkong was launched by Culture and Education, one of the flags on the Haojing Chaotang, but it was only a flag, a signboard.

But Zhu Chong, he is the representative of culture and education in Haojing, he is the supreme leader of culture and education in Haojing court, his words and deeds represent the will of the whole culture and education.

Flags and signboards can be changed at any time; leaders cannot be easily moved.

Moreover, Zhu Chong was nearly 20 years older than Bai Changkong.

In all respects, Bai Changkong would not disobey Zhu Chong in the slightest, unless he wanted to lose his reputation and cut himself off from culture and education.

Otherwise, Zhu Chong gave him a random look at the meeting, Bai Changkong might just be so obedient and obedient?
However, Bai Changkong originally thought that Zhu Chong would give him an explanation. Unexpectedly, Zhu Chong's attention was not on the matter that Bai Changkong was thinking about.

After he casually mentioned a sentence, the conversation quickly changed.

"I feel that there will be a big event in Anping Prefecture." Zhu Chong tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, staring at the many ministers present: "Nearly [-] dead soldiers, carrying a full set of official-made ordnance, desperately raided the Prime Minister. House."

"What a big hand, what a force, what an amazing action." Zhu Chong stood up, slapped the coffee table beside him, and said loudly, "My lords, who is behind the scenes in this matter? "

"imperial clan?"

"Xungui?"

"Prince?"

"Even……"

Zhu Chong pointed his finger to the top of his head, what he meant was, is there any one of the empress dowager or the emperor who is the mastermind behind this matter?

"Or, is it our own people?"

Zhu Chong's eyes widened, and he looked around at the many courtiers present: "Da Sikou, tell me, is there someone who is dissatisfied with my Zhu family's position in culture and education, and wants to replace it?"

Gongyang Xu rolled his eyes.

The Gongyang family had an ancestor who dedicated himself to one of the ways of 'Fa', and was the 'Saint' of the 'Fa Zong' of culture and education.

Zhu Chong's words are a bit heartbreaking.

What he said was suspicious. The attack and killing last night had the shadow of some forces within the culture and education. Some people took a fancy to their position as the leader of Zhu's culture and education, and wanted to replace him?
Gong Yangxu rolled his eyes and turned, he stood up and smiled at Zhu Chong: "The Prime Minister's words are over-conceived. I have hundreds of millions of disciples in culture and education, but Zhu Sheng is the only one who follows the line and has no two hearts."

Zhu Chong smiled: "Gongyang's study of 'legal principles' follows the rules and understands the truth. But other people..."

More than a dozen high-ranking officials stood up one after another, swearing that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with them, and the various schools of culture and education behind them.

Zhu Chong's eyes flickered and he smiled lightly: "So, very good, we can work together to meet the challenge."

He pressed his hands together and signaled everyone to take their seats again. He also sat back to his original position, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.

"So, can this matter be regarded as a challenge to my culture and education?"

"Clan, nobles, princes, or... what do you think is the most likely aspect?"

Bai Changkong was upset.

Zhu Chong didn't even mention the sacrifice he had made?
He coughed lightly: "The Prime Minister's words are too harsh. Last night's attack was probably just a maddening attack against you, the Prime Minister."

There was a hint of resentment at this.

Of course, with a little doubt.

Zhu Chong looked at Bai Changkong and said softly: "If it is just to attack the prime minister's mansion, it may be the prime minister's personal revenge. In the case of the Duke of Ye... that someone wanted the head of the real person, this is also a matter of course."

"However, last night's incident involved Anping Prefecture, so I'm afraid it's not just for the truth."

Bai Changkong frowned slightly.

His doubt was that Zhu Chong, including these courtiers, were so concerned about Anping Prefecture?
In the hall, in addition to Bai Changkong, the eyes of more than a dozen other important officials in purple robes flickered, or their faces were suspicious, or their eyes were fierce, and some people were pinching their fingers, not knowing what they were thinking.

Bai Changkong carefully watched the changes in everyone's expressions.

Gongyangxu raised his head and looked at Bai Changkong. He remembered what his elder brother Gongyangyao had said to him a few days ago, and he decided to drag Bai Changkong into the water.

"This matter, in the final analysis, has been around for eighteen or nine years." Gongyangxu looked at Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong held the tea cup and didn't say a word, which obviously allowed Gongyang Xu to explain to Bai Changkong.

Bai Changkong straightened his waist.

The purple-robed officers at the scene obviously knew the real inside story of Anping Prefecture... Only he, Bai Changkong, didn't know.

This feeling made Bai Changkong very uncomfortable, and there was a sense of shame and humiliation that he was excluded from the small circle.

Therefore, he pretended to be attentive and wanted to listen carefully to what Gong Yangxu said next.

At the same time, he was calculating that eighteen or nine years ago, he was just a doctor in the Imperial College.

At that time, Bai Changkong's position and power in culture and education, in the court, he was not qualified and had no way to know about some things.

"It's easy to say." Gongyangxu said with a straight face: "It should be the first year of Jiayou, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the natural disaster in Anping Prefecture."

"Earth dragon overturned, flood, followed by drought, locust, plague."

"Anping Prefecture is [-] miles long from east to west, and [-] miles wide from north to south. There are more than [-] million households in the household registration book, with [-] million males and [-] million females. Other slaves and maids who are not on the household registration book , probably as much."

Bai Changkong stared at Gong Yang Xu.

Gongyang Xu said slowly: "Such a natural disaster, affecting the entire Anping Prefecture, is naturally a disaster relief."

"As for the disaster relief, something went wrong."

"In terms of money and food, the loss is slightly more."

"During disaster relief, the efficiency is a little slower."

"The disaster relief, from the first year of Jiayou to the second year of Jiayou, lasted for more than a year. The plague was rampant, and there were countless casualties. There were more than [-] million households in the household registration book, and in the fourth year of Jiayou, there were only more than [-] left. Ten thousand households. The ratio of casualties to males and females is probably higher than the loss of household registration.”

Bai Changkong took a deep breath.

Gong Yangxu looked at Bai Changkong and said softly: "The new emperor, he has just ascended the throne, people are uncertain, and the society is unstable. This matter should not be too much trouble to save the world. Therefore, this matter was finally dealt with quickly, Very agile... Some of the officials responsible for disaster relief were convicted by Dali Temple, exiled, and died of the plague halfway."

Bai Changkong was silent for a long time, he looked at Zhu Chong, hesitated for a while, and finally asked a sentence that he knew he should not ask.

However, he also faintly felt that it might be better to ask these words out now than to keep them in his heart.

If you want to get on something like a pirate ship, you have to have no hesitation.Why do you want to submit a nomination certificate?
So, he asked out.

"Then, what about those lands in Anping Prefecture?"
