Chapter 1258: Fame and Fame

The emperor was furious, and the ministers were nervous. Some people already understood that Wei Zheng was in trouble today.

Over the years, the emperor has been addicted to practicing Taoism, building a large number of constructions, and abandoning state affairs. There are many ministers in the court who are superior to the court, and for a period of time, they can even be regarded as one after another.

The emperor was ruthless. Anyone who opposed him to practice Taoism would almost confiscate his family. Countless people fell to the ground, and the voices of admonition were less and less. In the past two or three years, almost no one advised the emperor.

The words of loyalty are unpleasant. As the words of loyalty are less and less, the words of unpleasantness in the court are almost difficult to hear.

But today Wei Zheng offended the power of heaven and spoke to the emperor regardless of his life and death. Moreover, those words were the most taboo words. Everyone knew that Wei Zheng was really looking for a dead end.

Wei Zhengdao: "Reporting to the emperor, the subordinates are very brave. Since they entered the court, they have never dared to speak casually in order to avoid disaster, just for fear of causing trouble, and they will die and be defeated."

The emperor sneered: "But your courage suddenly became bigger today."

"It's not that the subordinates are brave, but that the subordinates must do their duty." Wei Zheng looked up at the emperor on the golden dragon throne, "The subordinates should be loyal to the emperor if they eat the king's fortune. If they are slanderous and dare not tell the truth and deceive the emperor, they will betray the holy grace."

The emperor leaned on the chair, his eyes as ice as ice, "According to you, my empire is full of bandits everywhere, and my people are already in dire straits... I ask you, how many bandits are there in this world?"

Wei Zheng said seriously: "There are so many bandits, just like ants."

The Minister of Revenue Ma Hong finally couldn't help but scold: "Wei Zheng, don't exaggerate and exaggerate in front of the saint... Although some unruly people make trouble, they are only a few, and they are definitely not like an ant in your mouth."

Wei Zheng glanced at Ma Hong and asked, "Has Master Bu Tang ever left the capital for several counts?"

Ma Hong was stunned and then said angrily: "Have you counted?"

Wei Zheng said slowly: "Although the subordinates have never counted one by one, they are indeed clearer than the masters of the ministry. Not to mention the southeast Tianmen Dao, only the bandits in other roads will be combined, and there will be no less than hundreds of thousands!"

The emperor frowned, turned to Nayan Zhou Ting, and asked, "Zhou Nayan, are there really hundreds of thousands of rioters in this world?"

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment, looked at Wei Zheng, and then said respectfully: "Report to the emperor, what Wei Zheng said is exaggerated, but... it is true that the bandits are rampant." Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, he hurriedly said: "But those bandits are all mobs. As long as the elite soldiers and generals fight, they will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop."

When the emperor heard this, his face calmed down slightly and asked, "Where are the most bandits now?"

"The Tianmen Road in the southeast is not to mention it." Zhou Ting said: "In addition, there are Qingtianwang in Hebei, and there are several bandits in Chuanzhongdao. The biggest one is Zheng Taicheng, Huang Sheng, Qumatong, Fuhaidao has caused Lan Wu, Fang Jie's rebellion... But except for Qingtianwang, the other bandits are vulnerable and can be pacified in the short term."

Lin Yuanfang immediately said: "What Zhou Nayan said is very true. He Lianming was in charge of the Sichuan Middle Road. He was good at fighting against the Sichuan Army. The chaotic bandits in the Sichuan Middle Road could not become a climate. As for the Blue Witches of Fuhai Road, they were even more vulnerable... My million-strong army in the Qin Dynasty, those mud legs were not enough to kill."

The emperor's face was still not very good, but Wei Zheng had already asked back: "Sir, I want to ask, where are the millions of troops in the Great Qin you mentioned now?"

The ministers frowned, and Wei Zheng had already said: "The first person to impeach Qiao Mingtang, and the second person to impeach are the senior officials of the Sixth Ministry of the Secretariat who were entrusted with the emperor's fortune but were not loyal to the emperor."

The ministers were even more shocked and thought to themselves that you, the head of the Ministry of Rites, would have gone crazy? This time they would have completely offended the top leaders of the entire empire.

The emperor said "Oh", glanced at the senior officials and officials on both sides, and asked, "Why are you impeaching them?"

"Eat the king's fortune, but not loyal to the king's affairs." Wei Zheng said with a sigh: "As high-ranking officials and important officials of the empire, they should have been the emperor and the superiors to share their worries and the subordinates to seek welfare for the people, but they are just living in corpses and letting the state affairs get worse and worse, but they are even more blind to the emperor. They are not enough to go to the north to go to the emperor, and are actually the actions of traitors!"

The ministers' faces were suddenly not good-looking. Qiao Mingtang was already sweating all over his body at this time. He knew that Wei Zheng would definitely die today, and he might even be implicated.

"According to what you say, you are the only loyal ministers in the civil and military affairs of the court?" The emperor sarcastically said: "Everyone is a treacherous minister. If I appoint a treacherous minister, I will naturally be a fool."

Wei Zhengdao: "I dare not...but the emperor and the emperor should not have been the northern tour."

“Shouldn’t it?”

"The situation in the southeast is critical, and the bandits in Hebei are in great influence. It is the time when the emperor is in charge of the capital and is planning to plan." Wei Zheng said loudly: "The capital is the root of the empire. The emperor is in charge of Luo'an's capital, so that the empire can be stable. At this time, hesitation is in the north of the capital, and the emperor is in charge of the capital. He is in the cold voice...!" After hesitating, the emperor asked coldly: "What is in the real?"

Wei Zhengyi gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's really a destruction of the Great Wall!"

There was a sudden noise around, and all the ministers rebuked: "Wei Zheng, you speak wildly and talk about national affairs in absurd manner, which is very disrespectful to the Lord. The Lord, I beg you to punish Wei Zheng severely."

"The emperor has the world in his heart, and he can plan his own strategy. How can you, the small head of the Ministry of Rites, understand?"

"The great rebellion is unrighteous, the great rebellion is unrighteous. Master, these evil people must be severely punished!"

Wei Zheng was a little nervous, but when he heard the curses around him, his expression became firm and he shouted: "The emperor and the ministers made suggestions, and he never thought of living. He only asked the emperor to care about the many disasters of the people, to take the lead, to take charge of the capital, to quell the people, otherwise... Otherwise, our Qin Empire will be destroyed...!"

Qiao Mingtang couldn't help but scold, "Wei Zheng, stop talking...you..." He was breathing heavily, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Amid the noise, a smile sounded. When the ministers were surprised, they saw a man turning out from behind the golden dragon throne. The man was wearing a snow-white fox fur, but he could not hide his graceful figure. He was as beautiful as a flower. Someone had already recognized him as the emperor's favorite concubine, Snowflake Empress.

The ministers did not expect that the Snowflake Empress would suddenly appear, and they all stopped their voices. When the Emperor saw the Snowflake Empress appear, he stretched out a dry and old hand. The Snowflake Empress had already put his slender jade hand on the emperor's hand and was taken to the golden dragon chaise by the emperor. The golden dragon chaise was very wide. The Emperor and the Snowflake Empress sat on the golden dragon chaise together, without any sense of crowding.

The emperor whispered: "Why haven't my beloved concubine rested yet in such a late night?"

"The Lord of Snow does not care about the dragon body and meets the minister late at night. I am worried about the Lord of Snow, so I come and take a look." The Snowflake Empress's soft body snuggled up against the emperor and said in a sweet voice: "Your Majesty, you don't look good. Is anyone angry with you?"

"You haven't heard the words of this loyal minister?"

"I heard it a little." The Snowflake Empress was charming and had a charming smile. "It's really damn that a small local official dared to offend the emperor."

Before the emperor could speak, Wei Zheng had already shouted: "Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. Master, please listen to the ministers' report!"

"What else do you want to say?"

"The subordinates eat the king's fortune, and do not want to see the great Qin Empire built by the emperor painstakingly. "We shouted loudly: "Although the subordinates have a low status, they must also fulfill their duties as ministers. The subordinates should not only advise the emperor to come back to the capital and stay in the capital, but also advise the emperor not to indulge in the practice of Taoism, nor to interfere in political affairs in the harem."

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you tell me not to practice Taoism?"

"Since the Emperor practiced Taoism, he has consumed national wealth, refined alchemy and built Taoist temples, and the national treasury was not enough to make ends meet..." Wei Zheng straightened his body, "As today, there are chaos, bandits and natural disasters, the court cannot afford to quell the chaos and relieve disasters..."

"Stop!" The emperor finally couldn't bear it and said sternly: "Wei Zheng, who instructed you to say these words?"

Qiao Mingtang's heart suddenly sank.

"Report to the emperor, these are all the heartfelt words of the subordinates, and no one has instructed them!"

Lin Yuanfang took the opportunity to sneer: "Wei Zheng, you are just a small head of the Ministry of Rites. If no one supports you, would you dare to say these words to offend Tianwei?"

"Although my official position is humble, I am a minister of the Qin Dynasty." Wei Zheng said without fear: "Since I am a minister of the Qin Dynasty, I must fulfill my duties as a minister." He glanced at Qiao Mingtang not far away and said: "Qiao Mingtang neither dares to say these words, nor will he tell his subordinates that he is also a corpse and a great treacherous minister. If someone really instructs his subordinates to advise, it is also the people of the world who are in trouble. They are all the people of the saints, and they only hope that the saints will comply with the people, work hard to govern, and make the world prosperous and peaceful!"

The Snowflake Queen laughed, and the emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Why are my beloved concubine laughing?"

The Snowflake Queen said softly: "Master, this man seeks fame and reputation. He did this to leave a reputation for integrity... I heard that some people are not greedy for money and are not lustful, but seek fame. There is nothing wrong in the world, and they insist on making the world a mess, just to gain fame and reputation."

"What my beloved concubine said is very much." The emperor nodded slightly, glanced at Wei Zheng, and asked, "How should I punish such a famous person?"

"Master, you can't kill him." The Snowflake Queen chuckled and said, "If you kill him, it will make people feel that he is an upright person and has been succeeded by his evil plan..."

"Oh?" the emperor held the green little hand of the Snowflake Empress and asked, "What good way does a beloved concubine have to not let him succeed in his evil plan, but also punish him for his crazy words?"

The Snowflake Empress's beautiful eyes turned around, and she leaned close to the emperor's ear, whispered a few words. The emperor gently stroked her long beard, and soon started to laugh, saying, "It's still the beloved concubine who is smart."

Empress Snowflake smiled and waved to Lin Yuanfang, the Minister of Personnel. Lin Yuanfang bent and hurried over. Empress Snowflake approached his ear and whispered a few more words. Lin Yuanfang immediately smiled, "Empress, this can punish the disrespect of this villain, and also make his conspiracy to seek fame fail..." He glanced at the emperor and saw the emperor nodding slightly, Lin Yuanfang then bowed his body and left the hall.

The ministers looked at each other, wondering what the Snowflake Queen had for the emperor, but there was one thing that the ministers knew in their hearts that Wei Zheng was probably going to die if he was going to live or die next.
