Chapter 91: part 1
Sun Congrui is very good at manipulating public opinion. For example, in the beginning, the Emperor was only admonished. After the Emperor didn’t respond to the rumors directly, he gradually described the matter as conclusive. Many officials who didn’t know the truth were also brought to believe the matter. On the one hand, he lamented that the holy one had been deluded, and on the other hand, he pointed out to Tian Qi, saying that Tian Qi brought disaster to the country and the people. Then some people compare Chen Wuyong and think that the sin of Tian Qi is more severe than Chen Wuyong. There are two kinds of villains around the Emperor, one is a eunuch, and the other is a woman. Chen Wuyong just played the power of the lousy eunuch, while Tian Qi could play the side wind, which was terrible.
Many times, when facing a thing, a single person may be calm and sober, but a group of people, it is easy to become a mob. They are blind and excited, allowing people with the ulterior motives to control and guide the rhythm and direction of the whole event. They act as swords and guns with no sense of their own. They are bloodless, but they can make people irreparable.
Sun Congrui carefully controls all these things, which are all in his plan.
Besides Ji Heng, Tang Ruoling was the first to realize Sun Congrui’s plot. This move is too cruel. The Emperor is likely to fire away Tian Qi for his famous festival. However, if the Emperor favours Tian Qi, Sun Congrui will not get good fruit. Besides, even if Sun Congrui really forces the Emperor to kill Tian Qi, then will the Emperor give Sun Congrui a good face after that? The Emperor is not a wimp, but also a revenger.
Tang Ruoling sneers. to kill Tian Qi and Sun Congrui is blind
It was Tang Ruoling who made some preparations. First of all, he warned his little brothers not to be involved in this matter. When necessary, he should help the Emperor speak. No matter what the result is, the Emperor always remembers the person who helps him speak. Secondly, speed up the evidence that may make Sun Congrui guilty. It doesn’t matter that Sun Congrui’s buttocks are clean. His students embezzle, his relatives bully men and women, and his son’s original crimes will be brought out. Wait, wait, wait. It has to be said that Sun Congrui and Tang Ruoling may be able to fight in a single fight. Still, with his teammates, Sun Congrui will be significantly delayed.
Tang Ruoling made a sweat for Tian Qi. Tang Tianyuan, his son, was more anxious. He was like a flea which had not drunk blood for three days and had gone mad without a moment’s peace. Tang Ruoling had never seen his son so angry. He could not help tying him up.
Tang Tianyuan has been asking Tang Ruoling to save Tian Qi life in any case. How dare Tang Ruoling clap his chest and say that he must protect Tian Qi? It depends on the meaning of the Emperor. Tang Tianyuan naturally knew this, and then went to find some martial arts experts in the Jianghu. He planned to rob Da Nei if he couldn’t. Tang Ruoling found that his son was also very righteous and he is worried. He took this opportunity to educate his son. The central idea was to discuss the importance of strength. By the way, he popularized the regulations of the imperial palace.
Since then, Tang Tianyuan has initially determined the life goal of the power – leaning government.

Tian Qi knows the crazy story outside and Sun Congrui’s trick, but she has no choice. Although she was one of the parties to the scandal, she was just a eunuch and had no right to speak. She dare not go out of the palace, afraid of being thrown rotten vegetable leaves, even afraid of being chased and stopped by crazy officials. The officials who study hard in cold windows hate eunuchs the most. A group of people beat one eunuch to death.
Even in the Imperial Palace, Tian Qi also received a lot of strange eyes. Most people despise people who depend on their faces. However, Tian Qi didn’t care much about others’ contempt. Anyway, they didn’t dare to hit her. However, Sheng Anhuai heard several eunuchs talking about it in private, so he beat them without mercy.
Tian Qi is most worried about how the Emperor will deal with it. She believed that he would protect her. She found that she could give her life to him without any pressure. Her trust in him has changed over time even she was amazed.
But if the Emperor wants to protect her, he will inevitably put himself in a dilemma. Tian Qi is at a loss.
On this day, Ji Heng took Tian Qi up to let her take the place of Sheng Anhuai first. Tian Qi did not know why the Emperor arranged this way at this time and asked him, but he smiled and did not answer.
All the civil and military officials are waiting for Jinluan hall. Initially, the Emperor’s scandal was so noisy that everyone took it as a joke every day. Everyone felt that Tian Qi was standing on the cusp of the storm. Today, the eunuch still had the face to come to the Jinluan hall. Many people were ready to scold her.
Tang Ruoling and his younger brother resolutely went out to help the Emperor to scold them back, saying that those people “have no basis, catch wind and shadow, have bad intentions and slander the court”.
The other side scolded Tang Ruoling, saying that the people “flatter eunuchs, have no spirit, do not divide right from wrong, and are mischievous and sycophantic.”.
We are all scholars. We have too much ink in our stomachs. Even the patterns of swearing are elegant. Four words and four words are jumping out without large samples. Tian Qi was stunned and amazed.
“Stop fighting! “Ji Heng roared.
As expected, both sides kept quiet and looked at the Emperor together.
“This matter has been quarrelling for such a long time, and it should be over,” said Ji Heng, looking to Tian Qi, who was on the other side.
“The slave is here. ”
Ji Heng to turn bright yellow brocade and handed it to Tian Qi. “Read this out. ”
Tian Qi unfolded the brocade and read aloud: “Fu Songnian, one book; Mu Guan, one book; Zhang Shang, three books; Xue Wuyong, two books ”
This brocade fully embodies the Emperor’s outstanding statistical ability. At the beginning of Tian Qi’s reading, people were confused. Reading half of them, they gradually found that this is like the summary statistics of memorials. Recently, they make the memorials for the Emperor, and it was clear that the memorials in this list seem to be all related to the Emperor’s scandal
When Tian Qi finished reading, Ji Heng said, “I have been diligent in politics for more than five years since I ascended the throne. I have never dared to be slack. I have been able to bear the burden of heaven or the burden of the people. I have been open-minded and ready to take advice. “He calmly looked at all the officials and said,” since ancient times, loyal officials have been remonstrating directly, remonstrating with the state and government, remonstrating for self-cultivation, all of which are proved to be true. If you do not know where to hear a few vague words, you will catch the wind and catch the shadows, confuse the audience, seize the innocent people and call for fighting and killing, and waste your claim to be loyal officials. But what’s the difference between this and the ordinary people?! “At this point, the tone is already icy.
Seeing that the Emperor was angry, all the officials below bowed their heads and said nothing.
Tian Qi is worried. It’s not too much for the Emperor to say so, but how can those ministers tolerate the fact that they don’t admit to death and bite back? Since ancient times, those who want to be emperors have been holding back, especially those who want to be good emperors. Emperor Taizong wanted to play with a little queer. He was taught a lesson by Wei Zheng, and he deliberately choked his little queer to death. Emperor Taizong turned around and scolded at most “the country bumpkin”, but he didn’t dare to do anything about Wei Zheng.
In public opinion, the Emperor is often controlled by officials. Officials, especially those trained in the book of sages, are not afraid of the Emperor. The so-called “admonishment against the death of literature and war against the death of martial arts”, these officials boast that they are loyal and virtuous. They really dare to say anything and dare to scold anything.
It’s almost a belief. Sun Congrui used this point to instigate everyone to write to the Emperor. The more people there are, the less the Emperor can do with them. He can only compromise his reputation.
So now hear the Emperor said that Tian Qi suddenly pinched a sweat for him. He is a good emperor. She doesn’t want him to be accused of being foolish and sensual by history.
There is no sense of guilt among the officials under criticism. They decided to go up with the Emperor.
At this time, Ji Heng said again, “unfaithfulness is not virtuous. It’s not forgivable for sin because of the holy will. Just now that list is your statistics of the memorials on this matter, at least one and at most five. Come on – take everyone on the list to the tin stick outside the Meridian Gate. There are twenty sticks in one play and forty sticks in two play, so they can be accumulated. ”
The guards haven’t started yet, and the officials already cried. Some people are still trying to persuade with tears streaming down their faces. Some people are crying and swearing at locust trees. Some people who have lost their sense should directly hit the pillars. Although they are all literate people, they still sloppy. They like women who cry, fight and hang.
Tian Qi feels stupid. She didn’t expect that he would deal with it in such a rough and straightforward way.
Frankly, this is not the best way. But the purpose of Ji Heng is not just to beat people. He is more to give Tian Qi a reassurance and a warning. Tian Qi is watched by so many people. She is in such a dangerous situation that everyone wants to step on her head. Now, as the Emperor’s first favourite eunuch, she is always troubled by people who don’t have eyes. After entering the harem, she did not rely on her mother’s family. She was more vulnerable. He was the only one who could support her. Anyway, now Tian Qi can’t help being low-key. Ji Heng is to give up his reputation, but also to declare in this blatant way: Don’t make a move on Tian Qi, who make a move will be punished. They can’t move now, let alone in the future.
——He just loves her.
