The king of the imperial history presented a chapter of impeachment against the king of Luyang, although the cabinet voted to draft the "discussion of the law", but the emperor did not send it.

The first time in the early dynasty, I quarreled with the ministers once, and the matter ended in nothing.

On the morning of the second day, Wang Xian was just about to step forward to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor.

On the third day, he really couldn't stand it, so the emperor called Zhu Zhongjun to the palace again and asked him about Qianlan.

This time, Zhu Zhongjun knew the key point and flatly denied that he had a relationship with Qianlan.

“…… When Qianlan came to my house, I was only twelve years old. It wasn't until the earth dragon turned over that I got better. Although Qianlan was given by her father, she was a clean girl. If you don't believe me, take her and ask her. Zhu Zhongjun said.

Many people want to say this, but they don't feel right.

They can sue the king of Luyang for violating the law, but they dare not insult the woman of the king of Luyang.

Since King Luyang himself wants to deny it, it is best to let Qianlan ask.

"In this way, I took Wu Qianlan to the capital to prove the innocence of King Luyang." The Emperor said.

#####

The king of Luyang broke the law, and he himself denied it.

Qianlan needs to be brought in to prove whether what King Luyang said is true.

From Luzhou to the capital, it takes two months to come back.

Zhu Zhongjun's wedding date is scheduled for a month later.

Whether the wedding of King Luyang could be held as scheduled, the Ministry of Rites first raised it and asked the emperor's opinion. As a result, the emperor did not speak, and the ministers quarreled first.

It is said that what the king of Luyang committed only needs to be punished with a rod and a flail to show the public, and there is no need to go to prison. His wedding was given by the emperor and should be scheduled.

But some ministers think. King Luyang's crime is undecided, and his marriage should be postponed in view of the respect for the ancestral system.

Most of those who oppose King Luyang's marriage have some friendship with Xia Shoufu or the Tan family.

The emperor is a little strange.

He said to Liu Shu and Xiang Liang in private: "Why do I feel very strange about the impeachment of King Luyang this time? It's not like it's against me, it's not like it's aimed at the purpose of the post, but it seems like it's deliberately embarrassing King Luyang and trying to mess up his family affairs......"

Liu Shu is also a celebrant eunuch.

He said, "Is Your Majesty too worried?" King Luyang is a fool, why should the Tan family go against him? ”

Xiang Liang said: "King Luyang is already well. A good person, why can't the Tan family get along with him? The slave maid felt. Yushi Wang Xian is not a member of the Tan family. It was also provoked by the Tan family that he embarrassed King Luyang. ”

Liu Shu knew the emperor's intentions, and the emperor hated the Tan family, so he casually said that the Tan family was not good. He doesn't have any unique insight.

Xiang Liang is different.

Xiang Liang helped the emperor approve red. He has a little insight into government affairs. Not even lose to a courtier of moderate talent. His words, the emperor listened more seriously.

A good fool, why should the Tan family get along with him?

Look at the Tan family's past methods. Adultery and adultery are only the beginning; Kill Qianlan in Shangjing again, blame the King of Luyang to kill people, and put the King of Luyang to death, just like the style of the Tan family.

The Tan family will not act without a purpose and make such a trivial matter as a prostitution.

"Tan family, why do you want to harm King Luyang?" The emperor asked suddenly.

He turned his gaze to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang and Liu Shu were both close associates of the emperor, and he believed that these two people could tell the truth in front of them, so he had no scruples.

"Your Majesty, the day the earth dragon turned over, King Luyang was sober." Xiang Liang said, "Isn't this a sign from heaven that His Majesty is deeply virtuous, and God has given him a generous gift to His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

That's what we know.

The protégés of the Tan family are all over the world, if they know other good signs, God indicates that the king of Luyang is the lucky general of His Majesty, and he can assist His Majesty long live. Long live Your Majesty, there are many princes and grandchildren, and the Tan family knows that you don't only love the prince, how can you not be in a hurry? ”

The emperor pondered Xiang Liang's words.

Between the Tan family and the ministers, it was like a tug-of-war.

In the hands of the first emperor, the power of the Tan family was very great.

Their family sent twin sisters into the prince's mansion, one became the crown princess and the other became a partial concubine. In the future, no matter who has a son, the eldest son of the prince is the grandson of the Tan family.

When the first emperor was alive, the court and China also formed a party for personal gain.

For the sake of balance, the first emperor has always promoted the Tan family.

At that time, the Yu family, the Empress Dowager, the first emperor's mother-in-law, was too powerful, which formed a constraint.

The first emperor raised the Tan family and confronted the Yu family.

After fighting for nearly 20 years, the Empress Dowager died for five or six years before the emperor did anything to the Yu family.

The Yu clan fell apart for a while.

The Tan family is dominant.

After the Yu family disappeared, the first emperor was also afraid of the Tan family.

It's just that the Tan family has always been low-key and forbearing, and they don't have any tricks.

Besides, the government is piled up, and even if the emperor does not rest for twelve hours, he will not be able to deal with it. He needs the first assistant, the cabinet, and the military generals.

This country belongs to the emperor, but it takes talents to manage the country.

The Tan family is not only a powerful minister, but also a talent.

The Yu family was destroyed, the Tan family became more and more low-key, and the old marquis Tan even resigned as the first assistant.

Then, someone recommended Xia Wei.

Xia Wei didn't have much to do with the Tan family at that time.

It wasn't until he became the first assistant that the emperor knew that he was the most powerful protégé of the Tan family.

By the time you know, it's too late.

After the first emperor dealt with the Yu family, he was a little proud and neglected Xia Wei's affairs.

The protégés of the Tan family were all over the court and the opposition, and the first emperor knew that he had missed the opportunity to clean up the Tan family.

In his later years, the first emperor also made some efforts, but he couldn't pull the Tan family.

In the tug-of-war with the first emperor, the Tan family won.

The new emperor ascended the throne, promoted Gu Yantao, favored him very much, and even encouraged him to form a party, and the situation improved slightly.

Therefore, the Tan family has long been dissatisfied with the new emperor.

Before, the eldest prince had not yet become the crown prince, and the Tan family's action was not justified.

Now, after the defeat of the emperor and the ascension of the crown prince, can't the Tan family cover the sky with one hand?

If you want to bring down the emperor, you can't murder directly.

The Tan family's method is to wait patiently.

They have to be right.

If Zhong Jun is really the gospel of the emperor, it will be a harbinger of the eternal life of the country. Doesn't it make the Tan family dissatisfied? They can't afford to wait.

The Tan family has no military power, and they dare not rebel openly.

They can only drag down the emperor's mental strength in court politics.

“…… The slave maid also felt that King Luyang was the gospel of the emperor. When the eunuch Liu Shu saw that Xiang Liang had said what the emperor was thinking, he immediately opened his mouth and asked for a piece of the pie.

The emperor pondered slightly, but did not return to his senses.

Xiang Liang said no more.

####

In the dead of night, the court was silent.

Today, the emperor rested in Concubine Gu De's Jinghe Palace.

The eunuch on duty was Liu Shu.

Gu Yantao was about to take off.

His post-term service after his dismissal has become a topic of conversation among the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The emperor wanted to stabilize the hearts of Gu Yantao's faction. I went to Concubine Gu De's side all day long. Grace continues.

The courtiers knew that Gu Yantao would still be an elder in the future, and the emperor would value him even more.

Xiang Liang didn't have to be on duty, he went back to his residence.

The blue sky of a summer night. The crescent moon is like a hook.

A starry roof. Burning with thin light.

It was pitch black in the Forbidden Palace.

It's time for the three watch drums. When the palace guards changed their duties, Xiang Liang got up and went in the direction of Kunning Palace.

The guards on duty saw him. Just don't see it.

They are all close associates of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother did not sleep either.

She sat on the big kang near the window of the side hall, took a circle of sandalwood carved Buddhist beads in her hand, and counted them one by one.

The night sank, and the insects slashed.

Summer nights are very lively.

Someone opened the corner door, and the Queen Mother asked Aunt Cheng to go out to have a look.

Aunt Cheng was ordered to leave.

She lured Xiang Liang in.

"Queen Mother." Kneel down to Liang and greet the Queen Mother.

"Get up." The Queen Mother raised her eyes and smiled kindly, "Give a seat to Father-in-law." ”

Aunt Cheng led Liang to take a seat.

Then, Aunt Cheng also withdrew.

In the side hall of Kunning Palace, there are only the Queen Mother and Xiang Liang.

"The meaning of the mourning family, have you passed it on to the emperor?" The Queen Mother asked him.

Xiang Liang nodded: "As the Queen Mother said, the slave has already sued His Majesty for the speculation that King Luyang is the emperor's gospel." 陛xià listened to it......"

The Queen Mother was pleased and praised: "You do things without leakage, and the mourning family trusts you the most." ”

"The slave is telling the truth." Xiang Liang said, "The slave maid has always known that the king of Luyang is loyal. His Majesty can govern the country, and Wu can be anbang, but it is too hard, and it is a blessing for His Majesty to have a brother to solve problems. The king of Luyang is the gospel of His Majesty. ”

The Queen Mother's smile was even more gentle.

The Queen Mother never thought of abolishing the emperor and setting up another king of Luyang, which was clear to Liang, he had been in the palace for so many years.

But the Queen Mother hoped that the emperor's brothers would be harmonious.

The palms and backs of the palms are full of meat.

Xiang Liang also felt that the king of Luyang would not have the intention of rebellion.

Now that the king of Luyang has been very good, if the emperor can let go of Chen Jian, the king of Luyang may be a fierce general to assist the emperor.

Therefore, the Queen Mother entrusted Liang to do things and guided the emperor to lead the King of Luyang to the road of "gospel", and promised to Liang.

This matter is beneficial to the emperor and the queen mother.

Somebody has to talk about it. Xiang Liang was willing to help the Queen Mother and untie the emperor's knot.

"The first emperor valued you and said that you could help the emperor in the future, and the mourning family believed it at that time." The Queen Mother smiled, "Now, the mourning family is counting on you to take care of the emperor more." ”

It's the truth.

The Queen Mother has always admired Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang was very down-to-earth, and he said: "The slave and maid serve His Majesty with all their duty, and the Queen Mother does not need to worry about His Majesty." It's just that this 'gospel', if a foreign minister comes to play, His Majesty will believe it even more. Slaves and maids do not make friends with foreign ministers, but they are afraid of ......"

"Don't worry, the mourning family has its own arrangements for this matter." The Queen Mother said.

After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he quietly left through the corner gate of Kunning Palace, and returned to his residence.

He didn't alarm anyone.

After Xiang Liang left, the Queen Mother got up and went back to the dormitory.

She was a little tired.

Boiling medicine and waiting for Xiang Liang to reach this hour made her very difficult.

"The mourning family has two sons, but they are not close." The Queen Mother sighed to Aunt Cheng, "Is it because the mourning family acted too much when they were young, or is it that the mourning family has no way to teach their children?" ”

Aunt Cheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, you gave birth to a wise monarch, the world is Zhengrui, and the merit is in the world." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and asked Aunt Cheng to get up.

"The mourning family is old, and they are moaning without illness." The Queen Mother said, "Don't listen to it." ”

Then, she seemed to say to herself, "Xiao Qi has a deep affection for Zhong Jun, and Zhong Jun even took her as his life." Their big wedding can't be postponed any longer. Zhong Jun is good, the mourning family can't stimulate him anymore......"

She was very sure of Gu Jinzhi's feelings for King Luyang.

The Queen Mother's biggest wish at present is to see her youngest son start a family.
