Chapter 319: The Thunder Is Loud, The Rain Is Small?
The charges of the Cui family and King Qi are almost ironclad, but it is the Empress Dowager Cui who makes this matter uncertain.
When the emperor forced the King of Qi and the Cui family more and more ruthlessly in the court in front, the Empress Dowager Cui ran to the Fengxian Hall and knelt down to the ancestors and ancestors, and severely reprimanded Yu Wenhong for being unkind to the emperor, not allowing the younger brother, and mutilating the founding heroes. And began to count how the Cui family helped Gaozu to compete in the world from Emperor Gaozu's conquest of the world, and made immortal achievements, from Gaozu to Taizong and Jingzong Several generations of emperors have been gracious to the Cui family, and their grace continues. The Cui family is also loyal to the country, and they do their best, and they dare not have a trace of disloyalty. At the same time, he said that he had been married to the first emperor for more than 30 years, adhering to the family motto, respectfully and wholeheartedly governing the harem, assisting the first emperor, and not daring to have a trace of slackness. When the first emperor had a son-in-law, he set up Yu Wenhong, who was not a grandson, as the prince, and also followed the last words of the first emperor, bowed to the teachings, and hoped that the emperor would not fall into the benevolence of the first emperor, treat his brothers and heroes well, and not mislead the people, so as to become the emperor of all generations.
Now the emperor disregards the legacy of the previous emperor and the infamy behind him, persecuting the meritorious brothers, which is the dereliction of duty of her, the queen mother, and the failure to fulfill the responsibility of teaching. But now, as long as she is there, the emperor will not want to move the king of Qi, the Duke of Ningguo, and the Marquis of Anguo. Otherwise, she will hit her head in front of the ancestors and ancestors in the Fengxian Palace, and the emperor will step on her corpse to deal with the King of Qi and the Cui family, and the mourning family will see if the emperor can have the face to face the ancestors and the ancestors.
The Empress Dowager is the mother of the Son of Heaven, and she has been promoted from the status of the queen to the Queen Mother, if she hits the pillar in the Fengxian Hall and dies, it is not a joke, at least a big charge of unfilial piety will be detained on the emperor's head.
Let's not say that the Empress Dowager Cui was not involved in the rebellion case of the King of Qi and Ning Guogong brothers, that is, she was involved, and there was no precedent for the emperor to ask the Empress Dowager, not to mention that the charges of the King of Qi and Ning Guogong brothers were ironclad, but it was not without a place for people to speak.
Yu Wenhong seemed to be really threatened by the intimidation of the Empress Dowager Cui, and he had to immediately disperse the court and rush to the Fengxian Hall in the early dynasty, and advised the Empress Dowager Cui to think twice.
In the end, the tug-of-war between you and me on both sides, coupled with the civil and military officials next to him who didn't think it was a big deal, finally seemed to be that Yu Wenhong was unwilling to bear the charge of unfilial piety and had to compromise. The case of King Qi and the Cui family's rebellion did not continue to investigate deeply, and the disposition of the brothers of King Qi and Ning Guogong only demoted King Qi to the king of the county, took away the official positions and titles of Ning Guogong and Marquis of Anguo, and ordered Ning Guo to return to the army to put down the military power, and other cadres, including the Cui family, were not pursued again.
The military officials of the Chinese Dynasty originally opened their eyes wide, waiting to see a bloody storm in the court coming and who could have the last laugh on the side of Yuwenhong and Empress Dowager Cui, but this situation turned out to be ...... The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and the emperor is taking it lightly?
Among the civil and military officials, they are not used to seeing the Cui family's seeing that this is the end, not to mention the disappointment in their hearts, but they also feel that they are becoming more and more unable to see what the emperor is thinking, is it really because the emperor's temperament has suddenly become cowardly. Looking at the battle at the beginning of the emperor, I thought that the emperor was going to completely solve the Cui family.
Everyone thought about it, but in the end, they could only think that it was the military power in the hands of Ning Guogong that made the emperor have scruples.
Things seem to have come to an end, the emperor compromised, the Empress Dowager Cui and the Cui family also temporarily hibernated, and the two sides returned to the calm on the surface, but the shadows were still turbulent.
Duke Ning and Marquis An seemed to have temporarily succumbed to the emperor's disposition of their seizure of official positions and titles, and they were not shouting grievances. However, he did not return the military power in his hand for a long time, and when the emperor sent someone to get the talisman, he also pretended to be deaf and dumb, saying that the talisman had forgotten where to put it, and he would submit it to the emperor after he found it.
After listening to Yu Wenhong's will to deal with the Qi King and Cui Ying brothers in the early court, Lin Wang Yuwenxuan left the palace with an unhappy face.
When the decree was announced, Yu Wenhong did not even appear in the early court, but asked an attendant to come out and disperse the court after announcing the decree.
Yu Wenxuan returned to his Linwang Mansion with a black face, and as soon as he entered the door, he was so angry that he threw the sword he was carrying to the ground, and scolded: "Damn, I thought he was finally hardened and planned to solve all the goods of the Cui family, but I didn't expect that in the end he was still a bad seed, with heavy thunder and small rain." With the same surname as him, Yuwen I feel like a wretch. ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang was in his mansion at this time, and when she saw him lose her temper, she dared to step forward when she was almost angry on his behalf, carefully picked up the sword for him, handed it to Yu Wenxuan, and persuaded: "Brother Huang, don't be like this, the emperor may have his own intentions and arrangements for doing this, it is not so easy to be the emperor, not to mention that Cui Jue has more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong in his hands, which always makes people scruple." We and the emperor are flesh and blood, and even if there is a bit of a disagreement in ordinary times, it is also a matter between our sisters and brothers. But in the face of foreign enemies, we should still join hands with the outside world to protect the ancestral foundation of the Yuwen family. So Brother Huang, at this time, you still don't have to deal with the emperor too much. ”
Yu Wenyan snorted disdainfully, and said: "I am a big Zhou, is there only the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of the Cui family? With his behavior like this, he deserved to be taken from the throne that day. After speaking, he scolded the first emperor: "My father has a hole in his brain, so he will give the throne to Yu Wenhong's kid." ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang still wanted to persuade again, and said: "Brother Huang......"
Yu Wenxuan glared at her and said angrily: "Don't speak for him, otherwise you won't come to the door of my palace in the future." ”
And at this moment, the guard outside the door came in and reported: "Lord, the princess in the palace came out to pass the decree, saying that the emperor summoned you to the palace." ”
Yu Wenhong scolded angrily: "Let him go back to the palace and tell Yuwen Hong that kid that I, Yu Wenhong, don't want to talk to him." ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang was anxious, and she really didn't want the two brothers to have another disagreement, so she couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang, ......" said and pulled Yu Wenxuan's sleeve, and tried her best to persuade: "Brother Huang, don't disobey the holy decree, at least go into the palace to listen to what the emperor has to say." Even if you don't understand what the emperor is doing in your heart, you have to say it in front of the emperor and let the emperor explain it to you. Even if you still can't understand the emperor's painstaking intentions, you can still correct it in person. ”
Yu Wenhong thought about it, as if he had listened to the words of the eldest princess of Xunyang, and said: "What you said is not bad, I have a fire in my heart and a hair at home, so I should go into the palace and scold him in front of him Yu Wenhong to be happy." After speaking, he pointed to the palace guards who were about to go out to send the chamberlain, and said, "Wait, this king will go into the palace with them now." ”
