Chapter 104: Loyalty and treachery are hard to distinguish
[Welcome to pay attention to the personal WeChat public account "Tiangao Chenyuan", more exciting waiting for you!】
If you talk about how to kill a person quietly, Xu Chen still has a lot of methods, but like the current group of imperial histories, opening his mouth is a bullet seal with neat battles, gorgeous rhetoric, and no dirty words throughout......
Well, to be honest, there are so many allusions, Xu Chen has never even heard of it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After listening to a lot of people, Xu Chen suddenly lost the slightest confidence in the imperial examination to be carried out in a few days, although he can already remember it, as long as he spends some time, he can remember what scriptures and meanings, commentaries, etc., but it is limited to remembering, if you want to use it flexibly, it is obviously impossible without the accumulation of time.
"It seems that I can only cheat......"
Just when Xu Chen was wandering outside the world, another imperial historian stood up and took out a bullet seal, but it was not written by him.
"Your Majesty, don't drive Wei Lin to impeach the prince for colluding with the border generals and wanting to do wrong......"
The Golden Hall suddenly fell silent, although it had been quiet all along, but as soon as the words of this imperial historian came out, the ministers seemed to be breathing a lot more slightly.
I didn't hear a scream, except for the eyes becoming smart, the reaction of the hundred officials was unusually calm, and of course, the people who had closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep also opened their eyes one after another.
What the prince did, the hundred officials knew very well, why the emperor would compromise, everyone could guess, so the consensus between the hundred officials and the emperor was that the princeling party should be weakened, but the prince could not be abolished.
Shaking the country is not just talking, the court must be cleaned, but the degree must be mastered, not to mention, now the west is still fighting, and An Lushan in the northeast is also Chen soldiers and horses, ready to do a big job in the spring, and the court situation must be stable.
It is easy to convict the prince, and it is not difficult to change someone to be the prince, but as soon as the prince falls, the power of the princelings must be completely eliminated.
Not to mention whether there is anyone who can bear such consequences, just with so many vacant positions, the forces of all parties in the court together can't bear it.
Being an official is not just a matter of having someone sitting, and ability cannot be cultivated overnight.
The so-called emphasis on balance and patience in politics is naturally not an empty phrase.
Everyone chooses to acquiesce to the current status quo of the crown prince, but at the moment, this imperial history is like the child who pointed out that the emperor has no clothes, abrupt, naïve, and unreasonable.
"Ridiculous!"
The hundred officials did not speak, because no one could figure out who this imperial historian was working for, but Li Longji on the throne said angrily: "This Wei Lin is far away in Jiyang, how can he know about the conspiracy between Wang Zhongji and the crown prince?"
Similarly, no one knows whether the current emperor's anger is due to Wei Lin's disobedience to his disposition of the crown prince and the revival of the old matter, or whether he is singing a duet with this imperial historian.
Xu Fan, who was the imperial doctor, looked up at Li Linfu opposite, but happened to meet the gaze from the opposite side, the same doubt.
Xu Fan looked at Chen Xilie who was in the first place again, but saw that the other party was just sitting there expressionlessly, and there was no reaction at all.
In the end, Xu Fan set his eyes on Li Longji on the throne, and his angry appearance was no different from before.
The Emperor's disposition of the crown prince was entirely on his own suggestion, and only the Emperor and Colliers were present that day......
Speaking of Gaolis, Xu Fan looked at Sun Desheng standing on the edge of the throne, but suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This imperial historian is estimated to have come with the determination to create history, although Li Longji is mighty, he is still neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to the saint, Wei Lin is no longer in Jiyang now!"
"If I'm not mistaken...... Li Linfu, who is also in charge of the ministry, said: "This year, Jiyang Taishou will go to Beijing to report on his work, Wei Lin is not in Jiyang, where can he be?"
"Back to the words of the right minister...... this imperial history said solemnly: "This Wei Lin, gone!"
"Gone?" Li Linfu was stunned.
"Yes, Wei Lin has been missing for more than twenty days!" Yu Shi replied.
"Ridiculous!" Li Linfu laughed angrily: "Can the dignified and second-class officials of a county still disappear in vain?
"Back to the right minister, this bullet seal was written by Wei Lin more than 20 days ago, and it didn't fall into the hands of the lower officials until a few days ago......" The imperial history continued to say amazingly: "When the lower officials sent someone to check, they found that Wei Lin had been missing for many days, and the family members in the house did not know his whereabouts, but they said that someone claiming to be from the prince's mansion had come to look for Wei Lin and had a quarrel......
It seems that when Ji Wen went to Fanyang to verify An Lushan's case, the imperial history of the Tang Dynasty had the corresponding investigation power, in addition to the rumors, the imperial historians could investigate the case by themselves, and wait until the evidence was conclusive before reporting to the imperial court, this imperial historian's approach was naturally correct.
"Wow......" Xu Chen suddenly became interested, although a large number of people just now, although they can also kill, but obviously there is no stimulation from the combination of white blades, at least he can understand these words!
Almost everyone, consciously or unconsciously, set their sights on the crown prince Li Heng under the throne......
More than 20 days ago, wasn't that before the prince's incident!
If you guess according to this line of thought, Wei Lin probably got the news that the prince was going to start an incident, and then wrote a bullet seal overnight and sent it to the capital, but unexpectedly he was kidnapped by someone on his hind feet, and he is still missing......
What a reasonable speculation!
The logic is rigorous, the motivation is clear, and there are no loopholes!
As he spoke, the imperial historian walked towards the crown prince Li Heng under the throne step by step.
Above the Golden Palace, there was silence, and everyone looked at this unsightly and little-known imperial history.
I saw him slowly walk up to Li Heng and bow down to Li Heng who was sitting there: "Weichen is just a little imperial historian, he doesn't know what to balance, I just want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell him, where is Wei Lin now? Is it life or death? So that Weichen can give an explanation to his wife, children, and old mother!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and the whole person bent over and stood there, motionless.
The atmosphere in the Golden Palace suddenly became extremely delicate, and no one dared to speak, all of them were looking at the crown prince Li Heng, waiting for his answer.
Li Longji, who was on the throne, also frowned and looked at Li Heng.
The life and death of a small don't drive is nothing to the dignified emperor, and the prince even dares to offend him, even if he really kills a few officials, what can he do?
Today's court meeting, Li Longji's biggest expectation is to hurry up and purge the power of the prince's family as soon as possible, for this he has made a lot of preparations, in the previous wave of impeachment, denunciation, and even resignation, Li Longji's previous arrangement undoubtedly played a role, although all the pieces were left in the middle, but Li Longji was not worried, the fate of these people had been decided in his heart, but it was just said through the mouth of the courtiers.
It's just that now that there is such a stunned guy or a guy with ulterior intentions to stir up the situation, Li Longji's steps have undoubtedly been disrupted.
But he couldn't let General Dahan fork this ignorant guy out, after all, in everyone's eyes, this guy seemed to be arranged by himself.
God knows, Li Longji never thought of using such a stupid method at all!
In Li Longji's eyes, this is an extremely stupid method, but in the eyes of some people, this is clearly a stroke of genius!
Sheng Wang Li Qi, who was also sitting on the Golden Palace, looked at the crown prince Li Heng with bright eyes, and while waiting for his reaction, he couldn't help but look at Shouwang Li Mao who was sitting in the front row of him, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this idiot to have such a clever method! Could it be that he has recently recruited a new staff?"
No matter what others think, in Xu Chen's eyes, this is indeed a stroke of genius!
Regardless of the motives of this imperial historian, just questioning in court is the biggest shake to the prince's status!
Regardless of whether Wei Lin was kidnapped by the crown prince or not, just this question can completely dispel the momentum of the prince raising his arms and shouting on the golden palace and the crowd of responders.
Moreover, the crown prince can't avoid it, once there is the slightest dodge, the hundred officials in the Golden Palace will inevitably bury suspicion of him in their hearts, and this suspicion will make Li Heng's previous ten years of efforts all in vain!
Come out to be an official for money, power, and ambition, suppress political enemies, exclude dissidents, you can use any method, but you have a bottom line!
That is, you must follow the rules and follow the rules!
The so-called rules are that they must be done according to the means that officials on the surface can use, whether it is impeachment or false accusation, even if they are killed, they are only blamed for their inferior skills, and there is nothing to say.
But if you directly use force to physically destroy people, you will cross the line!
Force is the method used by the king of grass in troubled times, once the officials of the Chengping era are used, even if they use this to climb to a high position, they will also commit public anger, and it will not last long.
is the minister of power, Li Linfu, there are not a few people who fell into his hands, and even died in his hands, but Li Linfu will carefully concoct charges every time, and then execute them step by step, even if he wants to be beaten into a trick, he will never come up and kill people with a stick, after all, it is still within the bottom line.
It's not that there is no direct killing, but it must not be known, for example, when Qi Yunhan did it to Xu Chen, on the one hand, he used the power of the Yuwen family, and on the other hand, he used the power of the rivers and lakes, no matter who he pushed the black pot to, he could be relaxed and comfortable, even if he made all the preparations, Qi Yunhan was hiding behind the scenes, and even planned to take Xu Fan's two sons on the line again, and completely look away from his suspicions.
Besides, Xu Chen, even if he knew that it was Qi Yunhan's hand, he just returned it as it was, and never went around preaching that Qi Yunhan wanted to kill him.
Because once it is said, Xu Chen and the Qi family will never die!
The murder of people and officials in the wealthy family has never been cut off, but no one will be stabbed in the open, to put it mildly, it is a taboo, just a layer of window paper.
But it is better for people to know than to be seen, this layer of window paper cannot be without, and if it is gone, it is not just as simple as making people look at it naked......
Now, the crown prince Li Heng was plucked clean and thrown in front of everyone!
"Lonely ......" After the prince was silent for a moment, Tie blushed and said coldly: "I don't know!"
No one knows whether it's true or not, and no one even cares if it's true or false, but only they know what the officials think in their hearts.
