landslide

?Fan Shaoqian came to court on the third day after Huaijun ascended the throne. At that time, his body was still very weak, and his lips were still without a trace of blood, but he had already moved back to Fan's mansion, just like Minxuan also moved to Prince Qing's mansion, and did not stay for long in the palace.

He stood beside Prime Minister Mo, bent slightly, enduring the pain in his chest, with a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.Seeing this, Nuo Xu planned to help him, but he stopped him by shaking his head.

Prime Minister Mo said with concern: "Shao Qian, you should rest more."

"This injury is not a hindrance, but state affairs cannot be delayed."

"En." Mo Cheng responded, and then said with great comfort: "Your grandfather always wanted your father to become an official in the court, and now you have fulfilled his wish. The Fan family has been loyal ministers for generations, and you must assist him well in the future." Your Majesty, for the benefit of the world."

"Uncle Mo, Shaoqian knows."

As soon as the words fell, Huai Jun, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, came to Chaoshang like stars.As soon as he sat on the dragon chair, all the officials bent down and shouted in unison: "Long live the Holy One!"

"Stay flat." Huai Jun looked down, and the moment he saw Fan Shaoqian's weak expression, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Zai Fu is concerned about state affairs, and he is wounded and goes to court, so he will give him his seat immediately."

After a password, the two eunuchs moved a square chair and put a cushion on it.Fan Shaoqian didn't refuse, he said "Thank you, my lord", and sat down, his face immediately relieved a little.

Several ministers came forward to play a few things, Huai Jun listened intently, staring at the ground with his eyes like electricity, full of ambitions to strive for governance and start a prosperous age.But Nuo Xu and the others were obviously standing in the first row, but they kept silent all the time. I don't know whether they dared to say it or didn't want to say it.On the contrary, those few newly promoted ones were arguing over a trivial matter, as if they were going to prove their abilities.

After a long time, the matter was discussed, and they each retreated to their positions, waiting for Huai Jun to speak.

Huai Jun glanced at the people below, changed the subject, and said: "Since the Pingyang Disaster Bank case has been investigated, it is time to make a verdict. Although I ordered amnesty when I ascended the throne, this case is important and involves If the life of the disaster victims is severely punished, it is not wrong to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, do you have any objections?"

Those who were friendly with Hubu Shangshu and Hubu Shilang in the past all bowed their heads now, not daring to say a word of intercession for them, but to protect themselves.And Nuo Xu and Yong Ting watched on coldly. At this court meeting, they still didn't send a single word, and it was even more impossible for other people to speak.

At this time, Minxuan stood up and said seriously: "The Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Household Department hold important positions in the six departments, but they defied the law and set up an unhealthy trend, which made the disaster worse. The minister thought that the family should be ransacked and beheaded to thank the world. "

As soon as these words came out, a group of courtiers immediately shrank back, their expressions flickering.

"He and Han deserve death for their crimes." Prime Minister Mo stepped forward and said, "But at the beginning of the Holy Majesty's ascension to the throne, it is not appropriate to kill people. Please forgive the capital crimes of He Han's mansion, so as to show the heart of benevolence and righteousness."

"I think that the people in He and Han's second mansion have collected money for their food and clothing over the years. Although it is not a death penalty, they should not be sentenced lightly, otherwise it will be difficult to warn the world." Fan Shaoqian said weakly, his face was darker. The silent courtiers around are even more glorious.

Huai Jun thought for a while, then scanned everyone with sharp eyes, and frowned slightly. He knew that there were many mediocre people in the court, but he didn't expect that only Prime Minister Mo and Min who came out of the court were involved in this matter. Xuan and Fan Shaoqian dared to say a word.But after thinking about it more, they don't say it, but because they dare not say it, and the reason why they don't dare to say it is nothing more than they have ghosts in their hearts.

"Prime Minister Mo, Fan Zaifu, and King Qing all spoke with reason, and passed on the order that He and Han would walk the streets for three days before being sentenced to beheading. Although the whole mansion was not guilty of death, it was hard to forgive the crime of living. Half a month later, they would be released In the frontier, one cannot be an official for generations." He paused, not waiting for his subordinates to speak, and said: "The magistrates of Henan and Pingyang are in the disaster-stricken areas, but they only care about collecting money, and they are also sentenced to beheading. The upper and lower mansions pardon capital crimes and distribute them to the frontier."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Prime Minister Mo led the crowd to shout.

Huai Jun waved his hand to calm everyone down, looked at them like a sword, and said: "From the Minister of the Household Department to the magistrate of Pingyang, from the capital officials to the local officials, from top to bottom, I know there must be more than a few of them. Individuals. Pass down an order that anyone who commits corruption will be given a reduced sentence by half of his sentence; those who report will be rewarded; those who do not report will be punished with a stick; bribers and those who accept bribes will be sentenced according to the law.”

The entire hall was so quiet that only Huai Jun's loud voice lingered in his ears, like a nightmare.First, a subject was so frightened that he knelt down, and then everyone was so frightened by the sound of "bang" that he knelt down, they all knelt down and shouted: "I am guilty!"

And Huaijun stood up, shook his sleeves, left the court without saying "retreat", and the rest of the ministers who had ghosts in their hearts trembled and gradually dispersed in a daze. Which body is pure and clean?Even Prime Minister Mo didn't dare to say that he was clean when he looked back on the past.

As soon as Huai Jun returned to Cuiwei Palace, he saw Ah Fu pacing back and forth with a disturbed expression on his face.The Holy Majesty, who was in full swing in the court, was now a little more panicked by Ah Fu's arrival, he pushed Chen Pu that night, he was afraid that something would happen to Chen Pu.

But he suppressed his emotions and asked calmly, "What happened?"

"See Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Huai Jun, Ah Fu saluted in a hurry, and immediately stated the purpose of his visit: "My Majesty, Chen Pu locked himself in his room and refused to eat. It has been a day."

Just such a sentence has enough force to knock Huai Jun's calm face open, revealing the worry he was holding back.He didn't say anything, just turned around and left Cuiwei Palace, walking more and more hurriedly.

He came directly to Chen Pu's bedroom, but stopped in front of the closed door.

When Chen Pu got in trouble with him when he was young, he would not eat. Once, he was too busy studying and ignored Chen Pu. Once, Chen Pu wanted to go to the palace to watch a play. Once, Chen Pu did something wrong and was scolded by him. , and every time Huai Jun gave in.

But this time is different, Chen Pu is not just playing tricks, and Huai Jun is unlikely to give in. Now that he pushes the door in, what else can he gain besides hurting each other's feelings?

"Your Majesty?" Ah Fu called out in a low voice, recalling Huai Jun's thoughts.

"Ah Fu, Pu'er doesn't want to see me." Huai Jun smiled wryly.

"But, but..." Ah Fu was frightened by Huai Jun's unconfident words, and at the same time worried about Chen Pu. After deliberation, he had no choice but to say, "Only the Holy One can persuade him."

Huai Jun shook his head, even his wry smile broke: "He didn't want me to persuade him or coax him, what he wanted was a word from me..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was opened. Before Huai Jun could react, his eyes met the person in front of him. When he could react, there was only one thought left in his mind - it was just a day's absence, why Pu'er haggard so much?

It seems that the blooming flowers withered in one day.

Chen Pu's bright eyes were no longer radiant at this time, as if they were shrouded in the shadow under his eyes, exuding a decadent atmosphere, and the vitality that belonged to youth was sucked away by the shadow.

"It's good that you know." Chen Pu opened his dry lips and said stiffly, "Huaijun, let me go."

Huai Jun was still shaking his head, but the next moment, he said, "Ah Fu, you step back first and prepare the meals." When Ah Fu stepped back, he pulled Chen Pu in and closed the door.

He said solemnly: "Pu'er, no matter how many times you ask, I will never let you go again."

Chen Pu took a step back, and said softly, "Huai Jun, I'm out of strength, I don't want to quarrel with you."

"Okay, let's not quarrel." Huai Jun stepped forward to grab Chen Pu's hand, but he ruthlessly threw it away.

"It's not that we don't want to quarrel, it's that we don't need to quarrel." Chen Pu gave a low laugh, retreated all the way to the wall, leaned against the wall and said, "If you don't let me go for a day, I won't eat for a day."

"Pu'er, don't use your body to laugh." Huai Jun forced himself to soften his voice, but the hands that were thrown away were trembling slightly.

"I'm not joking." Chen Pu lowered his head and said quietly: "You send someone to watch me, I can't go, but if you don't let me go, I will starve myself to death. But you have so many If people die, they don’t necessarily care about me.”

Huai Jun's hands trembled more violently, but he kept restraining himself, and just said sadly: "I care about you, Pu'er, I care about you, let's stop fighting, okay?"

"Duqi? I don't have douqi. We were good at first, why did it become like this?" Chen Pu muttered, his eyes suddenly lost focus and drifted freely.With his back against the wall, he kept moving down until he fell to the ground, and then he said in a trance: "I have been having nightmares these days. Ming Luo and Le Yu are covered in blood. One asked me why If you don’t save him, one says I’m heartless and unjust, and there are many others who scold me, saying one sentence after another, oppressing me, oppressing me..."

As he spoke, two tears slipped from his dull eyes, but he raised his head and glanced at Huai Jun.Standing Huai Jun appeared even taller, while he hugged his knees with both hands and flinched, causing Huai Jun who was about to approach him to freeze.

He said angrily: "They hate me, they want to kill me. Every time I think I'm going to die, I open my eyes and it turns out that I'm still in the palace. Huai Jun, I'm afraid of death, but every time Once I wake up, I'd rather I be dead."

"Pu'er, don't do this..."

His words were interrupted by Chen Pu's sudden excitement. Chen Pu opened his eyes, glared at him, and said sharply, "I want to do this! Either you let me go, or you starve me to death. I know you don't feel well." , I just want you to feel bad! Why every time I close my eyes for you, you force me to open them to see how cruel and ugly you are! If you thought about me once, would we end up in this situation? ? You won't let me go, why don't you let me go?"

"If you believed me again, would we be like this again?" Huai Jun didn't want to quarrel with Chen Pu, so he endured it, still trembling, pointed at Chen Pu and reprimanded: "I didn't kill you!" Song Leyu, you would rather believe rumors than me."

"If Le Yu is not dead, then why don't you let me see him, why do you have so many guards outside, why can't I go out, am I a prisoner?"

"Then what is it if you don't eat, are you taking revenge on me? Threatening me? You know that I feel distressed, so you just use your body? Pu'er, who is Mingluo, and who is Song Leyu?" He pointed at himself instead. , asked: "Who am I!"

Chen Pu wanted to refute Huai Jun, but felt that it would be superfluous to say it again. Huai Jun didn't understand him, just like he didn't understand Huai Jun, so every time they could finish their quarrel and continue arguing, he was already tired.

Huai Jun, who was here to coax Chen Pu to eat, saw that Chen Pu had calmed down, so he also calmed himself down, without saying a word.

They looked at each other silently, as if they felt that time was lost point by point, so fast and so long.Suddenly, Ah Fu's voice came from outside: "My lord, lunch has been served."

Huai Jun didn't look away from Chen Pu, but just said, "Bring it in."

Ah Fu came in with the hot food, the smell was tangy, but Chen Pu pressed his chest in disgust, holding back his vomit.However, Huai Jun didn't notice his pale face, and directly brought a bowl of soup in front of him, and said kindly: "Pu'er, have a bowl of soup, let's have a good talk after drinking, this time we won't quarrel."

Chen Pu glanced at Huai Jun, bit the flesh of both cheeks in his mouth, resisted the nausea, raised his hand, took the soup, then lifted it up and threw it on the ground, and threw the bowl out with one hand, the sound of shattering was very clear .

"Don't talk about it, if you don't let me go, I won't eat!"

Huai Jun was so angry that he only said "you", and then said to Ah Fu: "He throws a bowl, and you take another bowl until he is willing to eat!"

"Holy, holy..." Ah Fu wanted to persuade the two of them, but Huai Jun had already waved his sleeves and left, and Chen Pu just glanced at him, and then swept all the food on the table to the ground, so he could only order someone immediately. Come in and clean up, and then prepare meals.

Huai Jun was in Cuiwei Palace listening to the servants report on Chen Pu's situation, while Chen Pu sat on the bed without any business, not moving.In the end, Chen Pu didn't fight lightly, and Huai Jun didn't compromise. They got nothing but hurt each other's feelings. ?
