Chapter 1398 Who fishes in troubled waters

When everyone heard Fang Xuanling say that there was something to discuss with them today, they couldn't help but look at it.

Chu Suiliang disappeared, which is already very important.

Shouldn’t the most urgent task now be to find Chu Suiliang?

Why do you have something to discuss with them?

"Secret Fang, if you have any questions, you can just talk to him." An official and Fang Xuanling spoke.

The others didn't say anything, and they were waiting for Fang Xuanling's next words.

"Your Majesty has been to Qizhou for so long, and I don't know what the situation is there."

"The court has never discussed the riots in Qizhou. Today, I want to ask my colleagues to discuss this matter together." Fang Xuanling said to everyone.

When Fang Xuanling heard that the matter to be discussed was about the Qizhou riot, many people frowned.

They were not sure about the riots in Qizhou.

It was only later that the emperor said he was going to Qizhou that they realized that such a big thing had happened in Qizhou.

And the even stranger thing is that in the face of the Qizhou riot, the emperor did not deal with anyone in an abnormal manner.

Logically speaking, when the people riot, local officials of all sizes must be held accountable.

At the very least, he will be dismissed from office and seriously, even his life will be lost.

But even so, the emperor still had no decision this time.

At that time, many ministers were wondering if there was something wrong with the emperor's mind.

Now Fang Xuanling suddenly mentioned this matter again, what should they say?

"Your Majesty has not done anything about the riot in Qizhou before. Is it not good for us to discuss this matter now?" An official said.

His meaning is very obvious, that is, the emperor did not speak before, and they are talking about this matter now. If the emperor knows, what should he do if they say they meddled with other people's business?

If the emperor didn't say anything, they took over it. Wouldn't it be a matter of finding something to do?

"The Fang Xiang, this is indeed the case. Even if we discuss it now, will we order the officials in Qizhou be punished?"

"Your Majesty is in Qizhou now. If our punishment is different from the local situation, or even disobeying Your Majesty's thoughts, wouldn't we disobey the holy order?" Another official spoke.

I am also unwilling to get involved in such an unnecessary and easy to offend people.

"Fang Xiang, let's take a look at this matter again." The other officials also persuaded.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly in his heart.

He and Wei Zheng wanted to test the views of the ministers in the court on the Qizhou riot.

To find out from this, the emperor was wondering who was in the court was related to the Qizhou riot.

But now, he was only halfway through his words, and almost all the officials spoke out against it.

Of course Fang Xuanling knew that all the guys in front of him were afraid to take responsibility.

That's why I objected so much.

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng beside him.

Wei Zheng nodded. It was time for him to play.

"Everyone, you only need to discuss the matters dealing with Qizhou officials in regard to the Qizhou riots. What to do with them is."

"If your Majesty asks, I will bear it alone."

"Your Majesty is stupid and forgot to severely punish Qizhou officials. I will never forget."

"Now, let's discuss it." Wei Zheng and the officials said, looking decisive and decisive.

All the officials in Tai Chi Hall looked at Wei Zheng blankly.

Fortunately, the emperor was not here, otherwise he would have heard Wei Zheng scold him for being stupid, and the emperor would have to exhale the overnight meal again.

"Wei Prime Minister, in fact, it is easy to deal with the riots in Qizhou."

"All counties where the people riots are located, from the county magistrate, who have any disadvantages in their work, will be dismissed from their posts and investigated."

"The county magistrate directly executed the people to calm the hearts of the people."

"The inspection of Qizhou Governor's Office, Qizhou Governor, Chief Secretary, and Zhechong Prefecture are unfavorable. They are either killed or dismissed, and they are handed over to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for strict investigation." An official from the Ministry of Justice spoke.

"The impact of the riot in Qizhou is extremely bad, and the people of Qizhou are deeply affected. The leader of the thief should be asked to behead them."

"Qizhou was originally Shangzhou of the Tang Dynasty, but there was an inexplicable riot. It must be that local officials bullied the people. The suggestion of Dali Temple was that all the criminal officials would be executed directly on the spot." The officials of Dali Temple also spoke.

Dali Temple has always advocated severe punishment for such important cases that concern the people and the country.

All officials nodded.

With Wei Zhengding in front, they naturally dared to express their views on the Qizhou riot.

Wei Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Sun Wuji, the Minister of Personnel Secretary who had never spoken.

"Shangshu Changsun, what do you think?" Wei Zheng looked at Changsun Wuji and asked.

From the bottom of my heart, Wei Zheng felt that Changsun Wuji was very suspicious.

After all, Changsun Wuji has the strength to collude with the Qizhou officialdom.

Moreover, Changsun Wuji was involved in court several times.

The emperor even drove him back to his hometown in Jinyang.

If Changsun Wuji said he had no resentment in his heart, Wei Zheng would not believe it.

Today, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling mainly wanted to test Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he was still wandering outside the sky just now.

Looking at Wei Zheng, after a few breaths, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I don't care. Qizhou riots are in turmoil, and Qizhou officials are bound to be blamed."

"Wei Xiang wants to deal with them, Wei Xiang is the only one who decides himself."

Wei Zheng was very surprised by Changsun Wuji's indifference.

He originally thought Changsun Wuji would deny his previous statements, and even used the emperor to suppress him.

But and...

"But I'll talk too much. Your Majesty is in Qizhou at this moment. If we suddenly send news, we will attack the officials in Qizhou."

"Maybe it will force those people to get anxious, so let's think more about it." Changsun Wuji suddenly said a lot.

It made Wei Zheng's brows frown even tighter.

He had already given up on suspicion of Changsun Wuji, but what Changsun Wuji said just now made Wei Zheng inevitably suspicious.

Wei Zheng looked at Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji had already retreated to his position.

Wei Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.

"Wei Xiang, to be honest, I also feel that this is not a good time to do this."

"Your Majesty is in Qi County, we have to be careful of those people being anxious. If something really happens to Your Majesty, we ministers will be blamed." Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian, also spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else."

"Wei Xiang, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment? Are you not worried about His Majesty's accident in Qizhou?"

"Prime Minister Wei, if you have to wait until His Majesty comes back to discuss the orders of Qizhou officials."

Another sentence of persuasion.

No one would watch the emperor get into trouble in Qizhou.

Wei Zheng frowned. At this moment, he couldn't tell who really wanted to protect the emperor and who was taking advantage of the troubled waters.

Today's temptation seems to have gained nothing.
