The drizzle condenses into pearls on the iron armor, and then rolls down like pearls. The soldiers in the hall hold their swords in their hands and condense into statues in the drizzle. The iron armor washed by the rain emits a cold light in the autumn wind, and plays solemn and lonely together with the red railings, jade pillars and green tiles.

The coldness in the hall spread in everyone's hearts. The emperor was angry, but he didn't say anything for half an incense stick. Many people trembled, and they would immediately kneel down to the ground with just a shout. It was quiet, and the sound of shaking teeth sounded from nowhere. Li Mingyi felt that the fluorene plate in his hand became slippery and difficult to grasp, and would fall off from his sweaty hands the next moment.

As the storm was about to come, Kong Sheng hurriedly came out to report: "Long live to calm down the anger. During the Warring States Period, the King of Qin Zeng said, 'The wrath of the emperor, millions of corpses and blood for thousands of miles'. Long live to be angry, the ministers were trembling and the world was shaken. Today, the world will be unified, the government will be harmonious, and the people will be prosperous. Although there is a slight problem of psoriasis, it will not harm the peace of the world. I ask Long live to put the world first, take care of the dragon body, and be careful of the anger of thunder."

This made Shi Fangzhen feel relieved and his anger was greatly reduced. He was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere and let the matter in Huazhou go back to the word "drag".

The two days ago, Shi Fangzhen had already discussed with the two prime ministers that the matter in Huazhou was reasonable, and the mother said that it was reasonable, and it was difficult to make a decision. Left Prime Minister Chen Chengji suggested that he would discuss it again after the New Year. At that time, the situation was clear. The most important thing was to make a decision based on how much commercial tax Jiang Anyi received. Shi Fangzhen agreed deeply.

Before Shi Fangzhen could speak, a person flashed out of the squad and said loudly: "I am the Minister of Works, Lu Jialin, who has just reported that Master Zhou, the Young Supervisor, reported that Jiang Anyi had been in charge of the court's rebellion against Lu Ziyue. I asked Wansui to send Longwei to investigate in detail. Unfortunately, Lu Ziyue colluded with foreign enemies and rebellious sons. Although he drove him out of the house, Lumen still shamed him. I asked Wansui to take Lu Ziyue to be sentenced to the extreme to respect him..."

Lu Jialin made a furious speech, and Shi Fang was so angry that he heard it.

"Stop," Shi Fangzhen slapped the table heavily and shouted: "Lu Jialin, as the Minister of Works, you are so cruel to your clan brothers, and you ignore your brothers' feelings. This really disappoints me."

Jiang Anyi secretly reported to him about Lu Ziyue. After Shi Fangzhen learned the whole story, he secretly sent Long Guard to investigate Lu Ziyue's situation. As Jiang Anyi said, Lu Ziyue's second place in high school was replaced by his grandfather and his clan brother Lu Jialin. Later, he was expelled from Huangren County, Huazhou. It happened to be invaded by the Western Regions and was captured, but he did not collude with foreign enemies. However, the Lu Ziyue case was an unjust case during the reign of Emperor Zhao. The son did not mention his father's fault. Moreover, over the past twenty years, Shi Fangzhen did not want to offend the Lu family because of him, and acquiesced to Jiang Anyi's intake. The matter was then abandoned.

Unexpectedly, someone actually found out the old case in the court to attack Jiang Anyi, so he had to make Shi Fangzhen suspicious. Who was secretly ill-intentioned and used the public utility for personal use. Shi Fangzhen glared at Lu Jialin. This letter of informing came from Dengzhou. Could it be that the Lu family killed Lu Ziyue? Lu Ziyue went back to Dazheng with Jiang Anyi from the Western Regions four years ago, and later lived in Jiang's house and did not go out. The informing person must have learned the news four years ago. Why did he just report it today? What is the intention?

As the emperor, he had to weigh the relationship and maintain the balance in the court, so he knew that Jiang Anyi was trapped and tried to delay pacify all parties' emotions, and waited for the tax to be paid after the year before disposing of it. But the dragon had the scales, and the copper trunk was Shi Fangzhen's scales. At the beginning, Shi Fangzhen tried his best to restart the copper trunk, and there were many opponents, including the former minister Wei Yishen who had retired.

Since the establishment of Tonghu, some strategies to govern the country have been received and some unjust cases have been redressed. However, it is far from Shi Fangzhen's expectations, and many other things have taken the opportunity to make accusation. There are also many voices in the court asking for the removal of Tonghu, which made Shi Fangzhen feel stubborn. Removing Tonghu is like admitting defeat. What is the face of the emperor? As soon as he hears the word "Tonghu" and Shi Fangzhen is extremely nervous and cannot be opposed by anyone.

After learning about Lu Ziyue from Longwei, Shi Fangzhen despised the Lu family very much. The reason why Lu Jialin's grandfather Lu Dingquan made Lu Jialin and Lu Ziyue exchange each other, and that his brother was not a relative of his younger brother was actually because Lu Jialin was born in the eldest family, and Lu Ziyue was born in the future. The so-called beautiful story of Shilin is just a superficial article. Many people behind him ridiculed Lu Jialin's brother to seize the position of his brother and despise him. So Lu Ziyue's existence became Lu Ziyue's existence.

Jialin's heart was stinging. Lu Dingquan, who was the Minister of Revenue, found a reason to drive Lu Zi Yue far away to Huazhou, and was invisible. But even so, the Lu family still refused to allow Lu Ziyue to marry the daughter of the merchant, and blamed him for corrupting his family and quickly agreed on a marriage for him. Later, the Western Regions invaded Lu Ziyue and was captured. Because the left commander of the Western Regions was regarded as a rebellion, the Lu family not only did not escape the crime, but instead drove him out of the door, regardless of his life or death.

Today, in the hall, Lu Jialin's appearance of killing his relatives for justice really made Shi Fang really disgusted. How could there be such a hypocrite in my court? The cold-blooded thing was so high-sounding.

The matter in Huazhou is like a rocker. Jiang Anyi is in charge of the principles. The aristocratic family has many ministers and many powerful people. Shi Fangzhen is in control of the balance, but Zhou Sihe's report breaks the balance. Kong Youxiong's few words pulled the rocker back, and the Lu family's forest fire poured the same as a heavy object hitting one end of the rocker, forcing the emperor to express his opinion. How could Shi Fangzhen not be angry?

Poor Lu Jialin didn't know why the emperor was angry and explained: "I am not ignoring the love of brothers and sisters. Since childhood, Lu Ziyue was rebellious and disobedient, and colluded with foreign enemies to become rebellious. His grandfather died of anger and was embarrassed by his family. People in the world want to kill such livestock without a king and father. I am very patriotic and loyal to the king. Please keep a clear eye on it."

"Hahahaha, what a patriotic and loyal heart." Shi Fangzhen laughed loudly, but his laughter was loud but no laughter. The ministers felt cold when they heard it, and Lu Jialin's scalp became numb. He thought it was not good, and he angered the emperor, and he was afraid he would become a punching bag.

"After Jiang Anyi was inviting Lu Ziyue, he reported to me after he came back from the Western Regions and appealed for Lu Ziyue in the memorial. I immediately sent Longwei to Huazhou to find out the situation, and by the way, I inquire about the cause and consequences of the matter."

The emperor's words made many people feel sad. It has been more than four years since Jiang Anyi returned to Beijing from the Western Regions. The emperor was reluctant to speak. Today, he revealed the truth, obviously he had acquiesced to Jiang Anyi's actions. In the case of Lu Ziyue, anyone with discerning eyes knew that he was wronged. This matter became a taboo, and everyone kept silent. However, Tongpujian threw out the past in the court today, which seemed to have ulterior motives.

Zhou Sihe's face turned pale. Wang Kefu was so scared that he shrank towards the class. He was secretly glad that he was too careful and did not report it himself, otherwise it would be necessary to scold him.

Lu Jialin was the person involved, shocked by the emperor's words. There was only one thought in his buzzing mind. What should we do if the incident happened back then?

He reluctantly listened to the emperor's voice and said, "Your grandfather has passed away, and I don't want to comment. The Master once said that a gentleman has eight virtues: filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, courtesy, righteousness, integrity, shame, Lu Jialin, ask yourself, how much virtue do you have?"

This accusation is serious. All scholars in the world regard themselves as gentlemen. The Eight Virtues mentioned by the Master are the standard of moral behavior. If they violate one, they will be stabbed by others. The emperor accused the Lu family of Lin for losing virtue. If they spread this way, what is the appearance of Lu family? He is the head of the Lu family, and even the Lu family cannot raise their heads.

Lu Jialin's eyes were red and he said loudly: "If the king wants his minister to die, he dare not refuse to obey, but long live the unreasonable accusations against him, I dare not accept them."

The wind and rain outside the hall were getting faster and faster. The copper bells at the corners of the eaves were blown by the wind, making them crisp and crisp, and the empty hall became more and more cold. The heavy rain rustled on the armored soldiers, and the warriors quietly took a few steps under the eaves. The voice of the emperor in the hall came into their ears through the window frame.

"Accusations without reason, am I a rude and unreasonable monarch? Well, I will talk to Lu Aiqing." Shi Fangzhen stood up from the imperial throne, stood on the high level, and looked at Lu Jialin from a high place. Anyone could hear the sarcasm in the three words "Lu Aiqing" in the emperor's tone. All the officials who are familiar with Lu Jialin are sweating for him. Officials from aristocratic families exchanged their eyes and were ready to speak for Lu Jialin when they saw the opportunity.

"Let me talk about tibi first. Brothers are friendly and help each other. As your elder brother, you will take away your brother's fame and honor and feel at ease and stay with you. Is it a friendly and timid?"

Lu Jialin already knew that things are hard to be good today. If he took a step back, the Lu family will never be doomed. He could only refuse to give in. Relying on the power of the aristocratic families around him, he might be able to overcome the difficulties.

After quickly glanced at the officials around him, Lu Jialin replied: "Long live, I am not trying to exchange for Lu Ziyue's fame. My grandfather thought that my brother was not in line with etiquette before my brother. I was forced to do things that made me follow the word filial piety and did something criticized. Over the years, I have always thought about it and felt uneasy. Long live to blame me for admitting my mistake."

Speaking of the emotional part, Lu Jialin shed a few tears of sadness, thinking of giving the emperor a step so that they could both step down.

But Shi Fangzhen was furious and refused to let him go easily. He sneered: "Since you know that your grandfather's order is wrong, why don't you argue with reason and push the mistakes on your grandfather, but you enjoy the glory. What kind of filial piety and politeness? Your grandfather has passed away for many years, why don't you tell the court, but instead let Lu Zi live in Huazhou the farther away. After Lu Zi was captured, someone reported him to collude with foreign enemies. Why do you, as your brother, ignore him, but want to kill him and then hurry up. I'm afraid that what you are uneasy is that Lu Ziyue returns home and has no face to face him. Judging from your words and deeds, your words are insincere and false, which is to be disbelief. What shame does a person who believes in disbelief have? How can he start to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism?"

While asking questions were pierced into Lu Jialin's heart like a knife, Lu Jialin was completely disappointed, and stood staggeringly, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Golden Palace, with bloody red and dazzling.

The people around him turned their mercy to Lu Jialin, and the emperor considered it unfilial, unkind, unfaithful, unbeliever, unbelief, and shameless people, but they had no face to stand in the court again. Lu Jialin is finished, Lu Jialin is finished."

The Minister of War Ding Dawei was quick-witted and helped Xiangxing forward and fell to Lu Jialin, and Lu Jialin fainted.

Standing above the high-level, Shi Fangzhen reached out to his nobles' ministers and said, "After returning, all the ministers said to the eight virtues mentioned by the Master, think about whether he has lost his virtues and can he be called a gentleman?"

After saying that, Shi Fangzhen turned around and left.

The emperor left, and the hall was silent. Li Mingyi's legs became weak and he fell to the golden hall. His back felt cold and he felt scared. If Lu Shangshu had not blocked the disaster for him, he would have been the one who sprayed blood in the hall today. The fate of the Lu family was like the Li family, and the fate of the Lu family became shaky.

(I have been on a business trip these days and have taken the time to read the chapters I wrote. I am ashamed. When the outline was set, it was too extensive, which caused many loopholes. Among them, the commercial tax involved the recent chapters. I thought about it and wrote a supplementary explanation. The initial commercial tax was set at 30 to 1, but later some places wrote it as one of ten to 1, which was contradictory. The unified commercial tax was set at 30 to 1, salt, iron, tea, wine, medicinal materials, etc., and the border market transactions were large foreign trade transactions, and commercial tax was taken at 10. The merchants in the Western Regions fought on the court.
Chapter completed!
