Chapter 194: The Old Foxes' Struggle
When the military general saw that the fire was coming, he was about to reprimand angrily, but there was a deep voice from the upper seat, but even so, the ministers could feel a compelling coldness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Alright. ”
Yan Weizhang frowned slightly, and glanced at Emperor Jianheng who spoke abruptly from the throne, from Emperor Jianheng's expression, he knew that things were completely out of their control. Thinking of this, Yan Weizhang coldly glanced at Gao County, who was standing there, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
Sure enough, he is useless as a scholar, he just thinks that he can do the world with a mouth and a pen, but he doesn't know how to adapt with the situation, he is simply looking for death.
At this moment, he could see that from beginning to end, Gao County, who seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, standing on the commanding heights of legal theory, had actually been being led by Gu Zhengde's old fox.
Now, Gao County has been introduced into the wolf's den.
You must know that because of the impeachment of the officials, the officials have long been miserable, but even if they grit their teeth with hatred, they still dare to be angry and dare not speak. Now Gu Zhengde seems to be in a weak position, but as an elder of the court, he has been forced to come here, his lips are cold, and the officials naturally understand the stakes. Gu Zhengde was acting in a bitter love play, and he hit the point that hundreds of officials could not tolerate, which resonated with hundreds of officials, so that this group of old fritters, who have always sought benefits and avoided disadvantages, united the front for the common interests and jointly fired at Gao County, the head of the officials.
As far as they are concerned, this battle is fought well, and they naturally pull back a game, suppress the momentum of the speech officials, and give themselves a little more foothold in this court, but if they don't fight, they will only be suppressed forever by the speech officials with that sharp mouth and that pen, without the slightest respite.
At this moment, they are not fighting for Gu Zhengde, but fighting for themselves.
Gu Zhengde, that old guy, seems to be loyal, and he doesn't stand on either side, but he still won Zhang Huaizong's trust, the Sacred Heart, and the glory of a royal relative.
If you don't shoot, it's enough, and as soon as you shoot, you will be steady and ruthless.
Fortunately, in the eyes of everyone he is, including the emperor on the throne, Gao Xian has always been Xu Yan's person and has nothing to do with him.
Yan Weizhang stood there calmly holding Chao Wat without saying a word, but Xu Yan secretly glanced at Yan Weizhang at this moment, and his eyes deepened.
……
"Could it be that in your eyes, I am such a mediocre king who does not distinguish between right and wrong and is used by others. ”
Obviously it was a question, but Emperor Jianheng did not have the slightest intention of asking, at this moment his right elbow was placed on his knee, leaning forward slightly, obviously sitting on it, but it gave people unbearable pressure.
All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly reined in their momentum, brushed up their court clothes, and immediately knelt down and said: "The saints are all over the world, and the ministers don't dare." ”
At this moment, all the ministers moved in unison, kneeling and trembling, without the slightest posture like Fang Cai.
Seeing the ministers like this, the anger in Emperor Jianheng's heart gradually eased a little, and a pair of eyes looked at Gao County below, Gao County immediately reacted to Emperor Jianheng's gaze, and gradually became timid, after all, he who scolded away the court officials, has never dared to scold the emperor.
At this moment, he was really cowardly.
"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare, Wechen just-"
Gao Xian, who has always been quite good at words, only realized at this moment that he was led into the ditch by Gu Zhengde, and he did not shy away from poking at Emperor Jianheng's suspicious and sensitive heart. His words, in the ears of the emperor, were clearly accusing him of not distinguishing between right and wrong, and letting Gu Zhengde play with him. You must know that Emperor Jianheng has always been stubborn, and he has always mastered others, where is the time for others to be mastered.
At this moment, the emperor looked at Gao Xian in front of him, his eyes became more and more cold, in his eyes, the official was like a dog that could bite people, in his eyes, it was to use these biting dogs to restrain those old foxes in the court.
For his use, to bite the person who should be bitten, this is a good dog. But if he bites and forgets me, and dares to touch him, and doesn't know how thick the sky is, then he can't bear it.
Obviously, Gao Xian was extremely useful to the emperor in the past, after all, he helped him deal with a lot of stubborn old ministers, but now, Gao Xian seems to take himself too seriously.
The emperor rubbed the jade ring in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently: "I know about the matter in the old mansion of Gu Ge. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, even Yan Weizhang was shocked, but the emperor on the seat liked the stunned appearance of the old foxes in front of him, and continued unhurriedly: "After the incident, Gu Ge Lao was the first to enter the palace and report to me, and he didn't tell me about it, which is also what I mean. ”
Seeing the deep meaning in the emperor's eyes, everyone hurriedly put aside the relationship with Gao County, and hurriedly said: "The ministers don't dare." ”
Emperor Jianheng sat back with satisfaction, looking condescendingly at the stunned Gao County below, his eyes full of indifference.
"As for transferring Gu Ge Lao's son to Lingnan Dao, it is also my decision, and the tall people keep saying that they want to impeach Gu Ge Lao, do you have any objections to my disposition?"
As soon as the words fell, Gao Xian only understood what it meant to be five thunders at this moment, and his whole body trembled when he split him, and he no longer had the awe-inspiring momentum he had before.
"Wechen don't dare, Wechen doesn't know-"
"I don't know?"
At this time, Hou Jia stood up at the right time and fanned the flames: "Since Lord Gao has not even figured out the whole story, he has come to impeach the old man of the court, where to place the cabinet? ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar and accusations, and when facing the emperor's gloomy eyes, Gao Xian couldn't even stand up straight, and knelt straight down, but he didn't know how to turn around.
Seeing this, Xu Yan knew that Gao County was useless, as a superior, he must show his position in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials, otherwise, if he went down, this fire would burn on his body.
Therefore, he glanced back slightly as if unintentionally, and when even if there was a royal history, Yang Zhi calmly walked out and said: "Shengshang, the minister wants to impeach the Gao County Gao, as an official of the imperial court, but he abandoned his wife and children in the countryside and predetermined him to marry, how can such a person who lacks character and violates the words of the saint accuse others?"
Like another thunderbolt slashed down, in the accusations of everyone, Gao Xian trembled like chaff, and he also understood that this was Xu Ge Lao to abandon the car to protect the pawn, because such an obscure thing, only he wanted to be a good official to know, everyone was tacit, in the past, he worked with Yang Value under Xu Ge Lao, Yang Value and he called him brothers, and there were many mutual protections, at this moment he understood that in front of interests, friendship is a dog****** Seeing that his family was no longer protecting, even Gao County's boss Xu Ge Lao couldn't stand Gao County's conduct, and the ministers no longer had any scruples, and they all started to criticize Gao County.
You must know that they were scolded by the officials in the past, and they couldn't straighten their waists, and they had to be grandsons when they returned.
In that formation, if it weren't for the fact that all the officials were scrupling about decency, they would all be eager to ask all the ancestors of Gao County.
"Tell me the word. ”
As soon as Emperor Jianheng's words came out, everyone fell silent, only the emperor's voice hovered deep and loud over the square.
"The high county of the household department has misbehaved and recklessly governed...... Take away its crown belt, scepter sixty, demote to a concubine, send Lingnan Road, never be hired. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gao Xian was completely drained, and he was dragged down without the slightest resistance, and the prisoner Liu Guanglin asked Wei An for instructions before leaving, and saw Wei An shaking his head almost imperceptibly, and immediately understood that the godfather was selling Yan Ge's old face.
There are also rules in this court battle, if the prison officer has his toes outward, it is to fight to the death, I am afraid that ten boards will not be able to stand it, but if the toes are facing inward, it is an extrajudicial grace, even if it is sixty boards, it can bear it, at most it is a traumatic injury.
When Emperor Jianheng comfortingly asked Gu Jingxi to help Gu Zhengde and put on his crown, it became clear that it was the grandfather of the future eldest grandson, and where could the family fight the family. If you want to offend Gu Ge Lao in the future, you have to weigh it.
When it was time to retreat from the dynasty, the ministers walked across the white marble bridge in twos and threes, and Gu Jingxi helped Gu Zhengde and Zhang Huaizong to walk side by side, and then heard a voice behind him.
"Shaoting today, it really makes people feel worried. ”
When he turned around, he saw Yan Weizhang coming forward, his eyebrows were gently soothing, Gu Zhengde was supported by Gu Jingxi and bowed to Yan Weizhang, and then said: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty." ”
Yan Weizhang smiled when he heard this, and then said meaningfully: "It's not enough." ”
Gu Zhengde and Zhang Huaizong changed color slightly, Yan Weizhang swept them away, his expression was the same, but he understood that today he didn't say that it was Gao County, but even he was cheated by the upright and loyal Gu Zhengde in front of him.
Now he understands why such an obscure and fatal matter in the Dingguo Mansion was suddenly inquired about by him, it is not how strong his eyeliner is, but Gu Zhengde deliberately leaked this so-called weakness to him, waiting for him to take the bait.
Like Zhang Huaizong, they are all cunning old foxes.
Yan Weizhang saluted with a smile, and wanted to go first, but when he turned around, the smile in his eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was a faint anger in his eyes.
Xu Yan stood high on the white marble bridge, looked at the scene not far away, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to the henchmen beside him: "It seems that we seem to have neglected whether Gao County and Yan Weizhang have anything to do with each other." ”
After saying that, Xu Yan walked down the stairs and said indifferently: "Check it out." ”
If Gao County is really Yan Weizhang's person, then Yan Weizhang today is a good calculation to kill three birds with one stone, which can not only hit Gu Zhengde and Zhang Huaizong, but also provoke him to dislike Gu Zhengde and Zhang Huaizong, and even make the emperor dissatisfied with him because of Gao County, but he Yan Weizhang is watching the fire from the other side, and he is not ashamed.
Fortunately, he took the lead in impeaching Gao County, obeyed the emperor's wishes, and made his position clear, otherwise, he would be the enemy now.
Yan Weizhang, that old guy, is very thoughtful.
Xu Yan snorted coldly, if he really regarded him as a soft persimmon in the cabinet, then he would have to be sorry for him Yan Weizhang.
When Gu Jingxi helped Gu Zhengde get into the sedan chair, he turned back to his horse. (Note: According to the Ming Dynasty, civil officials above the third rank sat in a sedan chair to go to the court, and below the third rank had to ride a horse or walk.) )
Gu Zhengde quietly closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, with a trembling and cautious appearance, the corners of his lips slightly hooked an arc, and then unconsciously helped Xu Yan to detect the relationship between Gao County and Yan Weizhang, I am afraid that the cabinet is not the battlefield between him and Yan Weizhang, it should be Xu Yan and Yan Weizhang.
……
East Warm Pavilion.
Emperor Jianheng criticized the notes in his writing, and when he saw Feng Wei who came in to serve, he did not react, until Feng Wei was about to withdraw, and he heard Emperor Jianheng speak suddenly.
"How's going on in Gao County. ”
Feng Wei bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Gao Xian seems to have injured his muscles and bones, and he will be raised back." ”
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard Emperor Jianheng snort softly, so light and fast that it almost made people think it was an illusion.
"Let's go down. ”
Hearing Emperor Jianheng's order, Feng Wei respectfully said yes and retreated cautiously, but at this moment, he knew that Emperor Fangcai's sneer was true, and it was also true that the gap between the emperor and Wei An's side was getting bigger and bigger.
Just ask a little official who angered the Son of Heaven Long Wei, the staff scolded sixty but only broke the muscles and bones, if it was the person Wei An wanted to get rid of, I am afraid that he should have seen the king of Hades a long time ago.
A eunuch's face is bigger than that of the emperor, if it is a mediocre and incompetent emperor, it is enough, but what Wei An has to face is the suspicious and sensitive, but quite ambitious Emperor Jianheng.
Wei An is not far from death, but he is afraid.
