Chapter 203: Conditions
A day later, Emperor An suddenly drove the Jin Palace.
Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin didn't expect him to come, so they hurriedly changed their clothes, opened the middle door, and lined up to pick him up.
Emperor An came with a full guard of honor and walked in with Zhou Heng.
The couple met in the main hall, sat down with Emperor An, and said: "After the little four got married, I always wanted to come over to see your residence, and I came here when I had nothing to do today. ”
Is it really idle? If you really have nothing to do, why don't you correct the mountains of twists and turns in the palace of diligence? Cui Keyin slandered.
Zhou Heng got straight to the point and said: "I don't know what the imperial brother is here for?" ”
If you really have nothing to do and wander around, why bother with a guard of honor?
Emperor Zhi'an smiled and said: "I have come to the thatched house, if the fourth child is not invited by me, I will come again." ”
Zhou Heng Zhengse said: "Taizu is a training, and the prince's clan is not allowed to interfere in court affairs. Is the royal brother going to set his brother on fire and roast it? ”
Emperor Zhi'an said: "It has been more than 100 years since Taizu founded the country, and many things have changed over time, I am afraid that the previous rules are not suitable for the present." The courtiers all said that Wang Zhe was a eunuch who controlled the government, and I always thought that if the little four gangs shared my worries, I thought that those noisy courtiers would have nothing to say. ”
Where is there nothing to say? I'm afraid that the noise will be even worse. Zhou Hengzheng said in retort, saying: "Taizu once erected a monument at the gate of the Chongzheng Palace, and eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics. This article has been broken by the imperial brother, and now he wants to break the edict of the Taizu, the rule that the prince is not allowed to interfere in politics is not successful? ”
Emperor Zhi'an grinned and said, "Breaking one is also broken, and breaking two is also broken, why not?" ”
Zhou Heng said: "It's not appropriate. The royal brother should correct the folds himself. Do not fake others. The younger brother just wants to be an idle prince, live a life of watching dramas and listening to music, and a happy life with a wife and son, but he doesn't want to be implicated in the government. ”
Emperor Zhi'an hated iron and said: "You are the blood of your father and the emperor, and you are of noble birth, how can you be so self-defeating?" ”
Cui Keyin really wondered if he had heard it wrong, and he gave up on himself and ignored the government, wasn't he?
No matter how Emperor Zhi'an persuaded him, Zhou Heng just refused to accept it. Emperor An took his leave in a huff.
At night, Cui Keyin was in Zhou Heng's arms. Speaking of the morning. said strangely: "Has he been like this since he was a child?" How could the first emperor pass on to him? ”
Who doesn't want power and doesn't want to be an emperor? No, he wants to enjoy the benefits of being an emperor, but he doesn't want to take on the obligations of being an emperor, how can there be such a person.
Zhou Heng said: "I'll be in front of you." He studied under the urging of his father. I don't see such a character. ”
Presumably, there was Wenzong on his head back then. There is also Yang's queen mother's ear, and he doesn't dare to relax.
Cui Keyin sighed: "If the first emperor knew what he looked like, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would crawl out of Zhaoling." ”
Wenzong was kind to Zhou Heng during his lifetime. Zhou Heng didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and said: "In the afternoon, Wang Zhongfang came in person and said that there was an abortion medicine in the tea. It's so good that you are cautious and don't drink. ”
Last time it was just a suspicion, but this time it was confirmed. Cui Keyin was a little depressed and said, "Sleep." ”
The next day, Cui Keyin was still asleep, but was woken up by the noise outside. The palace servants of the Jin Palace's palace have always been quite lawful, and the people summoned by the Purple Smoke Pavilion have been picked again and again, and they have never panicked. What's going on?
Cui Keyin asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Moyu was on duty today, and when he heard the question, he knew that Cui Keyin had woken up, and said, "The emperor sent someone to send two cars to fold over." They made a noise and woke up the princess, and the slaves and maids went to deal with it. ”
Cui Keyin was stunned when she heard that Emperor An had sent two cars of songs, but Mo Yu didn't listen to what she said.
At this time, don't say that the queen mother lost her temper, even the courtiers were also in a mess. originally thought that Wang Zhe was assassinated and could not be corrected, and Emperor An would slowly develop the habit of doing it himself. Unexpectedly, he was good and sent the music fold directly to the Jin Palace.
Yesterday, Emperor An drove the Jin Palace, and in less than an hour, the courtiers knew everything they should know. The generals have no say in political affairs, the nobles can't protect themselves, the civil officials are divided into several factions, and they haven't discussed a proper response.
As soon as the car left for the fold, the civil officials headed by Tang Tianzheng arrived. Guo Shouning followed closely and also arrived, lying on the soft sedan chair and being carried over.
Zhou Heng invited the cabinet and the members of the third grade or above to the main hall for tea and accompanied him; Senior officials below the three ministries are invited to the flower hall for tea, accompanied by Mr. Meng.
He poured saliva at Tang Tianzheng: "It's not that this king wants to meddle in the government, it's actually the royal brother who sent the song without saying a word." In this way, the king is on the cusp of the storm, so how can the king defend himself? ”
Tang Tianzheng brushed his beard and did not speak.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "I'll discuss it, and the prince will correct the folds, which is much better than that Wang Zhe messing around." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Heng was dumbfounded, didn't these people come to trouble him?
Cui Zhenyi stood behind the cabinets, just looking at Zhou Heng and smiling.
Tang Tianzheng said: "The emperor is so sincere, the prince of Jin will be reluctant to make it difficult." ”
Seeing the expressions of Cui Zhenyi and Tang Tianzheng, Zhou Heng instantly understood that if these people could reach an agreement secretly, it must be the two of them mediating in it. Zhou Hengyi said solemnly: "This king is just an idle prince, how can he ignore the law of Taizu?" Then he bombarded people outside: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back, so that the king will not be impeached by the imperial history." ”
The head of the imperial history, the two bosses of the Imperial Procuratorate, are sitting in the house, and they are still afraid of being impeached by the imperial history? Guo Shouning pointed to his tall buttocks and said: "The old man is a lot old, and he is humiliated for the country, King Jin is inconsiderate of the old man's old bones, and he should also think about the country." Could it be that the King of Jin was willing to give up the government to Wang Zhe? ”
Instead of ceding the power of the court to Wang Zhe, it is better for Zhou Heng to come forward. He was Wenzong's favorite son when he was alive, but he was much stronger than Wang Zhe's eunuch. What's more, the civil officials and Wang Zhe have become an endless situation.
Tang Tianzheng said: "Please don't let me be disappointed." ”
Zhou Heng said: "I don't know what your lords want?" ”
These scholars are the most difficult, and there is absolutely no possibility of letting him take over power. Either dig a pit and make him jump into it; Either there is a common interest.
Guo Shouning and Tang Tianzheng glanced at each other, no longer directly refusing but asking for conditions, and finally took a step forward.
Tang Tianzheng turned his head to Cui Zhenyi and said, "Say it." ”
Cui Keyin was stunned at a young age, Cui Zhenyi was her uncle-in-law, equivalent to Zhou Heng's father-in-law. If he hadn't persuaded Guo Shouning, how could Guo Shouning nod his head? But don't forget, he was beaten on behalf of the civilian clique. These 20 boards made his prestige soar in the Shilin, and his prestige in front of the civil officials was also unprecedentedly high.
Cui Zhenyi said: "Without him, it will be difficult for you to get involved in the government and politics forever if you want Wang Zhe." ”
If you dare to let the first assistant be beaten by the court staff, you will have to pay the corresponding price.
Zhou Heng was surprised: "It's so simple? ”
Guo Shouning smiled and said, "Lord Jin, this request is not simple. (To be continued......)
