307 Rumors
Mother Songyue is the god of the mountain, the mountain god is the king of the sky, the concubine is called the heavenly spirit concubine, the courtiers seem to have noticed what the wind direction is, the holy car is not long after, they have to go up to the pine to ask for the Songshan Zen, but the mother did not agree for a while, but first approved Tang Xiujing's sparse, with Wang Xiaojie as the head of Wuwei Dao, to recover the four towns of Anxi - the mother's intention, most of them want to use this martial arts to create more momentum for Feng Chan, before the first day, Wang Xiaojie and others have rushed to the frontier, and the rest of the levy and dispatch are also very urgent, and the palace eagle dog breeding and other examples, and reduce the degree of use in the palace to fund the military. This year, the Great Food Eater invited lions to be sacrificed, but the mother also refused to raise food and meat for nothing.
Seeing that my mother was so resolute, the voices of opposition gradually subsided, and the whole country only talked about the advantages of using troops, but did not mention the disadvantages of using troops.
I thought that my mother would dismiss Wu Chenghei, and should suppress all the martial arts more, who knew that around the Yuan Dynasty, the palace will, successively rewarded the Wu family, and the shares of the Li emperor and grandson were less than before, and in the name of the non-clan must not be crowned the king without merit, all the emperors and grandsons who were crowned county kings were reduced to county dukes, only Li You was able to retain the title of county king because he married the daughter of the Wu family, Princess Qinghe was renamed Mrs. Zhao Guo, and the county lord of the Li family had been completely exempted from the title. According to the quality of the official to give the material, and now this material is also exempted, in addition to the exemption of all the children of the Li family without the quality of the palace, even in the great dynasty is not allowed to enter and leave the palace. I don't know if it's to appease people's hearts, Li Dan added a thousand households for the credit of "offering medical books", but he still lives in the East Palace like house arrest, the compilation of books is over, and there are no more bachelors coming in and out of him, and his mother also confiscated most of the books in the East Palace in the name of compiling "Ancient and Modern Books Collection", leaving only some miscellaneous books for Li Dan to study- I asked Li Dan to compile a book, originally to invite him to gain fame, who knew that his mother was guided by the situation, so he simply asked him to focus on these miscellaneous studies, which was really unexpected, but it is better to learn these than to be able to learn nothing, and look at the benefits, so that no matter who is the emperor in the future, he will not be too suspicious of a clan member who is "obsessed with the left side of the door".
The honor and disgrace of the Li family's emperor and grandson are related to me, but in fact, the only thing I remember about my heart is to keep the courtesy. The child is getting older, as the eldest son of the abolished emperor, the situation is really worrying, the mother did not notice him before, but when he came in, he called him to ask a few times, and when he lived in Shangyang Palace, he deliberately ordered Ah Huan to accompany him, but he left Shouli in the palace, so that the mother and son did not see each other, and the ministers asked for the emperor and grandson who were over ten years old to discuss the relatives, and the mother was noncommittal. I wanted to discuss with Ah Huan to let Shouli temporarily become a monk to avoid trouble, but I was reluctant to go to that place of suffering at a young age - he was the emperor's grandson in the palace, and there were still many people who stepped on the high and low, and when they arrived in the temple, they had no parents to support them, and they didn't know how to suffer, and when he was in his teens, he was left alone in the temple, in case something went wrong psychologically, he developed some yin and yang weird tempers, or he had disorderly symptoms such as depression and autism? Even if you don't have these problems, what if you are seduced by others, learn some unclear habits, or even be taken advantage of by others to do some foolish things?
Around the New Year, Ah Huan and Cui Er were so busy that they didn't have time to discuss with me, I was thinking about the etiquette alone, and I was so worried that I didn't sleep well for half a month, and it was easy to see that Ah Huan and Cui Mingde were free in November, so I made an appointment to meet them in the palace, and just said: "I have a big matter to discuss with you." But I heard Ah Huan preemptively say: "Taiping, you are outside, what wind can you hear?"
I was stunned, and turned my face to look at Cui Mingde, she rarely had the same heart with Ah Huan, and looked at me fixedly: "We heard some time ago that the story of Junchen 'inviting the king into the urn' was coming outside, you are outside, haven't heard of it at all?"
Come to Junchen to judge Zhou Xing in the first month of last year, almost a year ago, after which Zhou Xing was exiled for rebellion, about April or May when he died in the local area, it is said that the enemy did it, in June the news has been transmitted back to the capital, the people all applauded - at this time the story of "please enter the urn" was circulated, is it a little late?
I frowned and thought back to the news I heard, because I didn't dare to collect rumors in a big way, for fear that it would reach my mother's ears and make it seem like I was going to do something big, so most of the rumors I received came from a few old people who had followed me since childhood, and they had never been compiled into a book, only summarized by Wu Xiaolang and Feng Yongchang, and occasionally mentioned to me, the collection may not be complete, and after thinking about it, I could only say to them first: "I'll go back and ask—where did you hear about it?"
Ah Huan was silent, Cui Mingde said: "This matter has been spread all over the palace, and even added oil and vinegar, speaking of Junchen's fierce methods, all of them are colorful, as if they have seen it with their own eyes, and said that although Zhou Xing was poisonous, it was not as good as his tithe." After a pause, he said: "Di Renjie, the local official Shangshu, Li Youdao, the winter official Shangshu, Yuan Zhihong, the Qiuguan Shangshu, Wenchang Zuocheng Lu Xian and others, and they have been told by Junchen to be handed over to Junchen for investigation, and today they have all been in Lijingmen Prison. ”
My hand shook and I almost threw out the teacup in my hand: "Three Shangshu, one Shangshu servant?"
Cui Mingde nodded: "Zhou Xing died last year, and His Majesty was lax, I thought that the unjust prison would gradually subside, but who knew that there would be another Junchen." When she said this, Ah Huan glanced up at me, I knew what she meant, the key to this matter was not what kind of person Lai Junchen was, but what he did last year, but it was so coincidentally transmitted back to the capital this year, and even to the palace. The source of the disaster of the cool officials is not the cool officials, but the suspicion of the mother, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that the things that Junchen did to say that the mother did not know at all is also false. These rumors are clearly about Junchen, but what is secretly insinuated is all up to people's imagination, at least a small number of traitors deceive Shengcong and make their own opinions, but in the big way, it is the Holy Yin who is ruthless and jealous, indiscriminately kills Zhongliang, and spreads rumors, it can be ignorant and aware of the injustices of the people, because they cherish the loyalty and speak out, or they may be traitors and thieves with ulterior motives, and they want to get away with tricks and excuses, it all depends on what the mother thinks - no, as long as this rumor can be spread, it means that there are many people who oppose Lai Junchen, Sympathize with the ministers who were condemned by him, and most of the ministers who were connected by him supported the Li family, no wonder my mother wanted to demote her grandson to the county prince, and she guarded against Li Dan to the death, if it was me, I was afraid that I would be so suspicious.
For a long time, none of the three of us spoke, and finally I said: "Lai Junchen is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and he has bitten so many important ministers in one go, and A-Niang may not be willing to follow him." Besides, Di Renjie is a generation of celebrities... Ahem, he should be fine. She didn't want to continue, but Cui Mingde said softly: "Erniang went back to investigate, to see if this matter was really spread outside, or... It is only passed down in the palace. ”
I sighed: "This matter is gambling on the Sacred Heart, even if we know that it is specially going to reach A-Niang's ears, what can we do?"
Cui Mingde pursed his lips, and said after a while: "Your Majesty wants to sit firmly in the country, it is impossible to rely only on the Li and Wu families, such as Erniang, it can be said that it is neither the Li family nor the Wu family, such as us, we can only rely on Your Majesty." ”
My heart moved, and I turned my head to look at Ah Huan, and she said that my proposal for military study was too big, but I thought my mother would agree. 166 Reading Network
