Chapter 216: Ask the Emperor to give the mourning family a death
The atmosphere in the court today was a little weird, and the new emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, raising his hand to interrupt the speaker below, "My cousin? ”
He looked at the ministers, "What do you think?" Should I welcome this cousin into the city? ”
"How can the emperor deign to be honored and go to welcome a guilty minister? This person is talking nonsense, and he is good at talking about whether the heavenly family is not, and he should be severely punished! An old minister stepped out of the crowd with an extremely angry expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Now that Nahelian County has taken the lead, with his one-sided words, he has won the favor of many people, and he is rashly punished, just afraid that the people who don't know the truth will really think that the emperor is ruthless and does not pay attention to human courtesy." As soon as Lu Shangyuan said this, the person who was indignant and proposed to punish Helian County immediately fell silent.
Now that the emperor has first ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to promote Taifu Lu Shangyuan to the left minister, and the one he trusted and relied on the most was probably his wife's maiden Lu family. A courtier with a slight look would not rashly provoke the Lu family.
Above the main hall, there was a sudden silence. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Lu Shangyuan's face is not very good-looking, he is a literati, he has always boasted of his modesty, and the courtiers behaved like this, which clearly meant that he monopolized power and blocked the way of speech. He snorted coldly and looked at everyone with a frown.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Yu Wenwei smiled helplessly, "Is there a good plan?" ”
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, if you don't order Helian County to enter the city alone, you will detain him in Beijing with the identity of the 'imperial prince' he specially mentioned in front of the people! This person has a heavy army, his ambition has appeared, and he has to guard against it! ”
"What should be done with the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him? Just send it back to Yumen Pass? I'm afraid he won't! ”
"The prince of Zhenguo brought back the news, isn't the 40,000 horses in Runan in his hands? Why don't you take the opportunity to recapture those 40,000 horses first? If he is really as loyal and patriotic as he said, he should consciously hand it over! ”
"With this wolf's ambition, how can he continue to bewitch the public? The minister has a plan and is willing to dedicate it to the emperor. ”
The person who spoke was Chu Xiangzhi, the new member of the household department.
Yu Wenwei smiled and said, "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Yes. Weichen thought that this person in Helian County was not of my race, and his heart would be different. Guarding the border for more than ten years, without merit or deaf! In the past, Yuwen Rui forced the palace, and at the invitation of King Lu, he brought troops into the palace to King Qin, and there was no merit in saying that the decisive role was the strategy set by the emperor and the emperor and the king of Lu. At best, this son only counted a little strength. However, the troubles he caused in the city had already offset the small merits. This time, he asked for a reward for retaking the city, and bluntly told the people in front of the city gate about the fault of the Son of Heaven, which was very disrespectful! He left his post without permission, made many mistakes and omissions in the battle of Yangcheng, brought troops to force military rations, and oppressed the people of Yuncheng. It can be seen that he has self-respect for the army, and does not look at the national law and imperial power at all. In order to prevent this son from causing trouble in the world in the future, it is better to trap and kill him! With the reward as bait, prepare a palace banquet, and use poisonous wine to fascinate it, and send it out of the palace to order someone to assassinate it! Only if you quarrel with someone after drinking, you will be killed! ”
After Chu Xiangzhi finished speaking, he looked at the emperor on the dragon throne with bright eyes, and secretly thought, this method should be very suitable for the emperor's wishes, right? After all, how can anyone who is an emperor like someone who has high merit and does not submit to domestication? If you are this ugly person and think about the future for him, the emperor will definitely regard himself as a confidant, right?
After listening to his words, Yu Wenwei frowned, revealing a thoughtful expression.
King Lu looked at the triumphant Chu Xiangzhi and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This man is too ignorant! If this is said to the emperor alone behind his back, it may still work, but he openly said it in the court, if he wants to trap and kill meritorious ministers, won't he trap the emperor in injustice?
The emperor's new ascension to the throne is an opportunity to employ people, if he agrees to this move, who will dare to surrender to him and work for him?
Before Yu Wenwei could express his position, Lu Shangyuan over there had already reprimanded angrily, "Nonsense! Such a despicable means should be moved to the court to discuss, wouldn't it be insulting for the emperor to listen? ”
Chu Xiangzhi said stupidly: "The emperor is wide open, and Weichen is just doing his best to make bold suggestions to give the emperor one more reference." As for whether it will be used or not, it will be decided after the emperor and your lordships have consulted with you......"
Lu Shangyuan snorted coldly and ignored him anymore. On the other side, a courtier sneered and mocked suspiciously, "In today's court, the person who is in charge is no longer the Son of Heaven!" The day of prosperity of the Lu family is not far away! ”
Everyone looked at him and saw that it was the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, the second son of Meng Ge Lao, Meng Renchuan, the secretary of Dali Temple.
Chu Xiangzhi couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, his back was cold, and he secretly regretted his speech. Meng Renchuan is Yu Wenrui's uncle, and in front of him, he suggested that he trap his nephew, isn't this a tie-up in front of him? It's good if Fang Cai's suggestion is adopted by the emperor, after all, he will be the emperor's person in the future, and with the emperor's big tree as the backing, even if he has a few political enemies, he doesn't have to be afraid. Who thought that the emperor did not express his position, but was scolded by Lu Xiang,...... He asked Cang Tian speechlessly, does he still have a way to live? Let's ask him how he can fight the Meng family and the Lu family, who have not fallen after three dynasties?
However, ......, his eyes rolled, and it suddenly occurred to him that the Meng family had already released his words and did not recognize the son of a foreign land who killed his father and brother as the Meng family? It was only the kindness of the Empress Dowager's wife that she regarded her sister's only son as a relative. For this reason, Meng Ge Lao did not speak to the Empress Dowager for several years, and to this day, the two father and daughter have not reconciled. Every time the Empress Dowager summoned Meng Ge to the palace to talk, she was rejected on the grounds that she was "old and sick, and the weak body is not suitable for entering the palace......
Thinking about it this way, the Meng family shouldn't kill themselves for a word of advice, right?
Chu Xiangzhi secretly wiped a handful of sweat, and felt a little better. When I came back to my senses, I realized that there was a quarrel in the court.
Lu Shangyuan trembled and pointed at Meng Renchuan and said, "The Lu family has been famous for a hundred years, how can you be allowed to slander it?" The Lu family is loyal to the emperor, how could they ever care about their own honor and disgrace? The emperor is young, and he is the teacher of the Son of Heaven, can't he give a few words of advice? ……”
Meng Renchuan sneered: "Advice? Is there anyone you advise like that? Before the emperor spoke, the courtiers' suggestions were all rejected by you. In front of the Manchu civil and military, he still wantonly scolded the courtiers, did you put the Son of Heaven in your eyes? ”
The other courtiers were silent, hearing that the two were arguing, and for a moment they did not know whether to persuade peace or to take sides, and put on a clear attitude to show their positions. More people are deeply embarrassed, on one side is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, the uncle of the current emperor; On one side is the grandfather of the future queen, the emperor's father-in-law. Who should I help?
The most headache is the emperor himself. The daily political affairs have made him anxious, and now he has to reconcile the relationship between the courtiers......
In the middle of the stalemate, a chamberlain sang loudly: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”
Before everyone could react, the Empress Dowager had already stepped into the hall. She walked past the courtiers with her head held high, passing by Meng Renchuan's side, she scolded coldly: "You are still an uncle!" Someone wanted to kill your nephew, but you only reprimanded others for disrespecting the emperor, and never said a good word for your nephew! ”
She glanced at Meng Renchuan and walked to the front of the steps. Yu Wenwei hurriedly got up: "Imperial grandmother, you ......"
The Empress Dowager interrupted him, only to see her kneeling on the ground with a thud, crying: "Ask the emperor to give the mourning family a death!" (To be continued.) )
