Chapter 425: All or Nothing
The reason why Tian Sansi did not become the target of their counterattack was because Tian Sansi was Tian Qiniang's own nephew. For Tian Chengqian, strengthening Tian Sansi's party is a big harm to him, but for Tian Qiniang, as long as the strength of the Tian family grows, it will be beneficial to her, she is happy to see it, and the effect of attacking Tian Sansi will not be too great.
As a result, Jiang Dexu is not good at managing his own forces, his seemingly strong political foundation has long been destroyed by his strong and domineering personality, this big tree looks towering into the clouds, but the inside has long been hollowed out by insects, and it will fall down as soon as the wind blows, so Yao'er is afraid that there will be a disaster of pond fish, what does she want to do?
Ouyang Yuyan thought hard for a long time and deliberated repeatedly, but he was never able to judge Yao'er's true intentions, and his eyebrows couldn't help but frown deeper and deeper.
She didn't know what Haruka wanted to do, but she couldn't sit idly by like this, no matter what, this opportunity was not to be missed.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yuyan gently opened his eyebrows, raised his head and said to Yuan Yuqian: "Let Gao Wu impeach Yao'er!" ”
Yuan Yuqian was very excited, and Ouyang Yuyan finally decided to make a move. He nodded heavily. Immediately go outside.
Gao Wu is the right stage of the imperial history, the person cultivated by the Ouyang family. After Ouyang Yuyan was deposed, all the officialdom connections controlled by Xianmo were taken over by Yao'er, although Ouyang Yuyan was conceited and proud, and refused to ask the family for help, but many times, she couldn't help but use the connections that the Ouyang family had painstakingly managed for many years.
Among the most important assets of every huge family, there is a roster that can only be controlled by the family members, just like those underworld leaders in "The Godfather" locked in the most secret safe. The greatest political legacy that was passed on to the heirs until his death.
The people on that list were either single-handedly propped up by them, or they had been fed with real money over the years. Either a secret ally built on the basis of interests. Old lady Ouyang doted on Ouyang Yuyan very much, but she didn't dare to let her squander the family's resources, and after returning to Weidi, he only copied the names of three people from the roster book and handed them to Ouyang Yuyan, and this Gao Wu was one of them.
Ouyang Yuyan couldn't wait any longer, she had to send someone to test the water and see how Yao'er could deal with it!
……
After the news of Jiang Dexu's exile in Lingnan spread. The list of officials selected for southern Xinjiang has finally been made public. This is all thanks to Jiang Dexu's efficiency in doing things is too high, who to use and who not to use, he already has a case in his heart. As soon as Yao'er's shortlist arrived, he immediately circled the candidates he liked......
As a result, he was charged with one more crime, and the list of officials selected in southern Xinjiang was announced. Shi Gaowu, the servant, impeached the election of officials in southern Xinjiang by the Tianguan Mansion, and faked the public and private affairs. Calling friends to form a party, carve up public weapons, and be unscrupulous. This time, the spearhead was directed at Yao'er.
When Jiang Dexu was there, he was the tallest and largest tree, and the tree was very windy, so all the turmoil was going towards him. Jiang Dexu fell, and Yao'er, a smaller tree, was exposed and became a new target for others.
However, Haruka is a smaller tree. It's not a monkey on Jiang Dexu's big tree, her root system is still connected to Tian Sansi. Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty regarded Gao Wu's impeachment of Yao'er as a test for Tian Chengqian: Is the Ertian dispute about to start again?
Because of this worry, the officials were not busy standing in line, they wanted to take another look, to see what was going on, and to see which one the queen favored among the Marquis of Changle and the Marquis of Weiyang.
In fact, Weiyang Hou is also in Nahan in this matter, because Gao Wu is not his person.
Yao'er held two families with one hand, poured one Jiang Dexu, and one Tian Sansi, so Tian Chengqian didn't want to be busy with her. Jiang Dexu has fallen, but although Jiang Dexu is mean, he is not without a confidant, Tian Sansi is busy preparing for the force, and he wants to clean Jiang Dexu's remaining party from top to bottom in one go, and now it is not Yao'er's turn, as a result, Gao Wu's actions have advanced the whole process.
Yao'er is Langzhong, and she is not qualified to stand in the palace to participate in the court, so when Gao Wu impeached her. She was not in the court, she only heard the news after the court meeting, and it was the news sent to her by Cui Langzhong of Kou Qing Palace, the reason why she didn't hear the positive accusation was because Tian Qiniang accepted the song, but did not make any instructions in the court.
Ouyang Yuyan received the news from Eyeliner that after Yao'er learned that she had been impeached, she looked as usual, behaved calmly, and did not have any unusual behavior.
Zhao Qian, the secretary of the Tianguan Mansion, didn't expect that someone had already taken the lead and impeached Yao'er in his head, and when the news came, he was quite anxious. Fortunately, the impeachment of the servant Shi Gaowu did not seem to have any effect, and the queen's attitude was ambiguous. There was no intention of punishing Yao'er, so Zhao Qian calmed down.
Zhao Qian didn't sleep all night, and the light in the study was on until the rooster crowed, the east was white, and the bell on the gate of heaven rang throughout the city.
When he finally came out of the study, his eyes were bloodshot, but his spirits were so high that he didn't even have an appetite for breakfast, so he went to the court in high spirits.
Halfway through the court meeting, when the main topics had ended, Tian Qiniang, who had been quite tired from sitting in the court for too long, was already out of energy and a little drowsy, at this time, the eunuch standing in the palace listened to a few words from the little chamberlain, immediately walked to her side, bowed down and said: "Zhao Qian, the secretary of the Tianguan Mansion, begged the king to allow him to go to the palace and appear to be impeached!" ”
"Oh?"
Tian Qiniang was in good spirits, she had spent most of her life in the intrigues and tricks of fighting with the concubines, foreign ministers, and the world, and she seemed to have developed an almost addictive interest in things like whistleblowers and complaints. She immediately commanded: "Announce him to the temple!" ”
The eunuch turned his body and announced loudly: "The king has a decree, Zhao Gan, the secretary of the Xuantian Official Mansion, will go to the palace to see the driver, and show his face to impeach!" ”
After standing for most of the day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who have been quite tired are all in their hearts, the feudal dynasty, except for the Son of Heaven, can not be offended, can only admonish, can not be impeached, everyone from the crown prince to the bottom can be impeached, who is going to be unlucky?
Zhao Gan, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the sound that seemed to come from above the nine nights, and immediately walked towards the hall, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Although he has long been accustomed to the ritual of meeting the Son of Heaven, Nuwa Divine Palace. It was the first time he had stepped in, and it was the first time he had been so close to the queen!
Zhao Qian spoke. Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief first: "It's not suing me!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the spirit was lifted: "The battle of Erda, the second round has begun!" ”
But then, they were worried again, because Zhao Gan was suing Yao'er, and the crimes or scandals cited were the courtiers and their families.
Zhao Gan's impeachment of Yao'er is far less serious than what Gao Wu said. There is no such nakedness. The crime of impeachment he was not "calling friends to form a party and dividing up public weapons," but "dereliction of duty and slackness of official duties." To put it mildly, this is just a matter of attitude and even ability for officials.
But. Zhao Gan did not be as extravagant as Gao Wu, wrote a thousand words, and spoke impassionedly, but there was not much empirical evidence. Zhao Qian doesn't talk empty words. Only empirical evidence is given.
In order to prove Yao'er's dereliction of duty, Zhao Qian commented on the selected personnel one by one, and there are examples. Of course, not all the officials have a handle to catch, and not all of them have a handle leaked, but the problem is that Yao'er first checked whether they had a handle, and then stuffed those with handles into the list of candidates in every possible way, so what else can be said.
For a time, Zhao Langzhong, who had never been inconspicuous, was in the limelight in the court. The Shangshu and squire of the Tianguan Mansion were dumbfounded. The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory were ashamed of Zhao Gan's more professional and powerful impeachment evidence than himself.
"Yang Jinxuan, the former assassin of Ezhou, was convicted of greedy ink. He was dismissed from his post and should not have been hired again. Moreover, Yang Jin was not at ease after his nephew Yang Qi fought with his neighbors over trivial matters and injured people, and should have been sentenced to hanging, but Yang Jinxuan operated up and down. Interfering with the administration of justice and sentencing only to exile. But only a year later, Yang Qi, who was supposed to be exiled to Yunjun, swaggered on the streets of Lin'an again, and behaved like this. How can it be on the official side? ”
When Zhao Qian went to the hall, his hands and feet were soft, and his heart was beating like thunder, but once he opened his mouth at this time, his expression was shocked and sonorous. If you don't make a bird, how to climb the branches, this is a political speculation. It's just a gamble, if you don't have the guts, just don't get into the game. Zhao Gan was born poor, had no connections, had a withdrawn temperament, and had few friends, but he had the courage!
"Lin Manshuang, a member of the Zhongshu House, has two sons in his family, has a stubborn temperament, and does not want to make progress. Specializing in cockfighting and lackeys, only to learn mediocrity. Everyone knew it when he was studying in Guozijian. But his two sons actually became Jinshi in the Ming Scripture, and the government and the opposition have long been criticized. Now, Lin Manshuang's two sons have to be selected as officials in southern Xinjiang, and the minister asks the king to read the test papers of these two people and test their talents in person, if the name does not match, not only can they not be officials, Lin Manshuang should also be severely punished! ”
These people are all candidates who have the qualifications to be officials, but there has been no vacancy for them to take office, or officials who have been holding idle positions, and it is not easy to find fault with their political performance, but what Zhao Gan said has a great deal to do with them as officials, which is enough to serve as evidence that they are not worthy of being officials.
Zhao Qian pointed out the faults of seven or eight officials in one breath, and let out a long breath to ease the excitement. The hearts of the Manchu Dynasty were still hanging there, and everyone could see that he hadn't finished speaking, but no one knew who he was going to say next.
Finally, Zhao Qianlang's voice sounded again: "Taichang Shaoqing Pei Zhen, his father passed away in July of the third year of the arch, and he went to work Ding Wei, and returned to the dynasty in October of the first year of Yongchang to resume his post. ”
Zhao Gan's voice paused, and a sneering smile appeared on his face: "In March of the first year of Zaichu, Pei Zhen gave birth to a son!" ”
These two sentences are simply inexplicable, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all in the clouds. Thanks to Tian Qiniang's good habit of changing the era name every three or five times, or even changing the era name two or three times a year, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty put their hands in their sleeves and began to pinch their fingers to count the days, and the court suddenly became extremely quiet.
After a while, someone let out a soft sigh, as if suddenly realized, and then more and more people reacted.
From July of the third year of the vertical arch to October of the first year of Yongchang, exactly twenty-seven months, this is the time when the court officials must return to their ancestral hometown to keep the system and bring filial piety after the death of their parents. From October of the first year of Yongchang to March of the first year of Zaichu, this is a period of five months, that is to say, in the fifth month after Pei Shaoqing ended his defense, he had a son.
What's the problem here?
The etiquette system stipulates that during the Ding worry, you are not allowed to leave the house, you are not allowed to eat meat, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you are not allowed to have sex with your wife and concubine, you are not allowed to listen to music, you are not allowed to take a bath, you are not allowed to change your clothes, and it is best to live there for 27 months. But Pei Shaoqing was only five months after Ding Wei ended, and his son was born, when was his son pregnant?
This was not a trivial matter at that time, filial piety is the first of all virtues, if a person can not be filial to his biological parents, can you still expect him to be loyal to the country and love the people like a son?
Pei Zhen hung his head and turned pale.
He didn't know that this child was a scourge, but he had only given birth to a few daughters before, and had no sons. The sky has eyes, and the incense of the Pei family is really endless, but the retribution for having sex with his wife and concubine during the Ding Worry period should be today.
Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is at the same level as the history of the assassin of a state, if he is not greedy for the real power of the history of the assassin of that state, why would he seek to go to the door of the Marquis of Changle and drill the camp. Who knows, his future is planted on his greed, and to this day, he wants to regret it, but there is no medicine to eat.
Wang Xue, the servant of Kouqing Palace, glanced at him sympathetically, and only thought in his heart: "Lao Pei is finished!" Yao'er's slippery little loach is also in danger this time! ”
Zhao Gan's impeachment did not have any rhetorical reasoning, nor did he pile up flowery rhetoric, and everything he said was a real thing.
The direct reason for the fall of a large number of officials in southern Xinjiang was the barbarian rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and the barbarian rebellion was not only directly due to the blackmail of the cool officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, but also because they had long been in conflict with local officials, otherwise why not do it at all.
Because of this, Tian Qiniang made up her mind to rectify the rule of officials in southern Xinjiang and improve the relationship between the imperial court and the local aborigines. Will such a group of people sent to southern Xinjiang be more competent than their predecessors?
Previously, Shi Gaowu impeached Yao'er for forming a party for personal gain, and being a traitor, Tian Qiniang didn't care at all, she just wanted Yao'er to form a party, form a party with the Tian family, and camp the Tian family's selfishness, but she couldn't tolerate the selection of such a group of officials.
"Enough! Say no more! ”
Tian Qiniang suddenly thundered into anger, slapped it with a palm, and then brushed her sleeves up: "The list of selected candidates is invalid!" Yao'er listened behind closed doors! Retreat! ”
Tian Qiniang left the Golden Palace with a calm face, and threw all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty on the Golden Palace.
The turmoil in the imperial court stemmed from the sudden emergence of more opportunities and interests. (To be continued......)
