Chapter 458: Trouble
PS: Thank you for supporting Meiya!
The emperor looked at the ministers below who were looking for death and life, and then looked at the obvious displeasure on the prince's face, he was really powerless. The emperor has actually been very indulgent to the crown prince, and has always cultivated the prince as a future emperor, so he has never guarded against the prince at all.
The emperor didn't see the prince's efforts in the court, because the emperor felt that if the prince was not allowed to have a share of his own people in the court. After ascending the throne in the future, there will be no solid supporters, and of course, this will also train the crown prince. Let the crown prince know how to deal with the officials of the court and China, and how to be the art of the emperor.
But the emperor didn't expect that these people in the hands of the prince were all so vulnerable. It's actually some such rabble, which can't play a role in training the prince at all, but misleads the prince!
The emperor looked at the fold in his hand, these people actually bought and sold officials, and the prince was afraid that he would benefit the most!
The prince of a dignified country actually did such a thing, what the prince wanted to do was how to handle the courtiers, instead of replacing all the courtiers with slaves who were greedy for money and lustful and could only be obedient. How can such a country prosper, how can it defend itself against foreign enemies, and how can its people be happy?
Now the emperor doesn't want to go to the early court every day, because when he goes, he sees the old ministers going up, crying and denouncing the unhealthy style of the court, and the corrupt officials are rampant, and the emperor should severely punish these corrupt officials.
But the emperor has privately calculated that most of the people here are the prince's people, or indirectly, or directly related to the prince's officials.
The emperor is not worried that the crown prince will rebel with these ministers, because these people simply do not have such ability, but is worried that if these people are removed, the prince will be more difficult in the court. The distribution of factions in the DPRK and China is not as simple as the prince thinks, thinking that everyone can be bought with money.
Some officials were cultivated by the kings. How can the kindness in this be exchanged for silver, and there is a sense of acquaintance between the king and the officials in the court, and there is a feeling of cultivation.
It is precisely because of these people that there are so many factions of officials in the DPRK and China, and it will be more convenient for the emperor to restrain them. The art of the emperor is about checks and balances, so that several factions can check each other. The emperor only needs to watch them fight, and once one side is not weak, the emperor's office will immediately supply them. Maintaining this balance is the art of kingship.
Today, there are actually old ministers, who directly admonished him to death in the main hall, so that the emperor can't turn a blind eye if he wants to. If the trouble continues, there will be no need for directors in the morning court every day in the future, so these old ministers will be appeased. The emperor couldn't keep busy.
The prince's face was as black as soot, and anyone could see that the prince was unhappy, but in the same comparison, the prince of Nangong was full of spring breeze, although he still had that cold face. But everyone just thinks that the prince of Nangong is in a good mood, of course, he can make the prince unhappy and cut off the prince's help. Can Prince Nangong be unhappy?
The prince has such an excellent cousin, but it will only make the prince even more unbearable. A few days ago, the ministers were like snowflakes.
It's just an appetizer, today is Nangong Ming's real purpose. If the emperor still wants to protect his shortcomings, he should let the people go to the book of the people or something, so that the emperor will be even more difficult to ride a tiger.
Don't look at your nose and nose without leaving your eyes. Standing in his own position, he didn't care about the middle of the court, at least now these people are making trouble, which can make the prince unhappy, which is a good thing for Mo Li. Lao Dingbeihou didn't bite a word. Squinting slightly, smiling in your heart?
Your Majesty, you just continue to protect your shortcomings, these court insects want to be maintained, and I don't know if the emperor really loves the prince or pretends to hurt the prince. With these insects one day, what will be the situation in the court after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, think about the old Dingbei Marquis will sweat for the emperor.
Therefore, on the issue of the education of his children and grandchildren, Lao Dingbeihou is full of confidence, and his own sons and grandsons are all good, and they are not embarrassed by the Beihou Mansion, let alone discredit the Mo family.
The emperor looked at the minister lying below, flicked his sleeves angrily and left, while the others were busy asking for a doctor.
Nangong Ming naturally wanted to express his respect for the old minister, and naturally stepped forward to praise him, and by the way, he also wanted to encourage everyone's momentum. "Rest assured, this king will definitely work with you to return the corrupt officials in the Xiao Qing Dynasty to a clear court."
The prince looked at Nangong Ming coldly, his face was as dark as ink, Nangong Ming was really against himself everywhere. No wonder these ministers are so bold, it turns out that there is support behind them! What Xiao Qing dynasty governs, it is nothing more than pulling some people down from high positions and letting others sit on them.
Otherwise, how can there be a place for those who want to be promoted, and the imperial court does not have so many high-ranking official positions. Nangong Ming is using the psychology of these people to encourage them to go up and give advice every morning.
But the prince can't do anything now, in the end, the people under his hands are not in a good position, and if people catch such a big handle, they can only be slaughtered by others.
When the eunuch carried the old minister down for treatment, Nangong Ming looked at the prince who was watching the play, and stepped forward with a willing face: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to administer justice for everyone,
I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also hopes that there will be no corrupt officials in the court, and the emperor will not raise useless people. Therefore, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to join the ministers and others tomorrow morning and ask the emperor to severely punish corrupt officials! Give everyone a clear court. ”
The prince's face was black and red, he was really angry, this Nangong Ming. Actually play this hand with yourself.
But in front of the hundred officials, the prince can't have a seizure, and the best expression is to respond, and he also wants to express his respect for the old ministers who died and his contempt for everyone involved in the Guangfu corruption case. But can the prince do that? There are still a lot of princelings looking at the prince? The prince can't scold himself!
Lord He lowered his head, his face was hot. Lord He has always been afraid of this Nangong prince, and he can't say that the prince of Nangong has forced the prince to suffer. It makes Lord He even more afraid, it's best not to get involved with yourself, otherwise you won't be able to fall well no matter whether you answer or not.
Mo Li stepped forward, arched his hand at the two, and then looked at the ministers who were staring at the crown prince. With a pleading face, he said: "Ministers rest assured, the Dingbei Hou Mansion will be fair, fair and open, and will not continue to run rampant with corrupt officials." ”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, he really thought that Mo Li was relieving him from the siege, but he didn't know what Nangong Ming said next, and pushed the prince into a more difficult position. "Dingbei Hou Mansion has been loyal for several generations, and its reputation is also obvious to everyone.
Since the prince of Dingbei is also like us, he hopes to severely punish the relevant officials of Guangfu, then I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also thinks so! If it is better for the crown prince to admonish the emperor tomorrow, the king will follow. ”
The prince looked at Nangong Ming, this is good, you don't have to answer yourself, these people can directly help themselves make the decision. The crown prince doesn't want to understand that he is on his own fold, so won't that disappoint his father even more?
Originally, this incident made his father a little cold to the prince, and the prince understood in his heart that his father wanted to help him.
However, because of these ministers, and those who deliberately make a big deal about it, they can only press it first, but according to today's situation, it must be dealt with. And it is very likely that it will be severely punished according to the requirements of those people.
"What the prince said is right, this prince naturally hopes that the court will be clear. But everyone should also believe in the emperor and believe that the emperor will uphold justice. If the adults make trouble every day, I think the father will also be unhappy.
Everyone should believe in the emperor's wisdom and believe that the emperor will handle this matter well. Therefore, this prince advises all the adults not to go to the fold again, and there is no need to die to admonish.
It's better to give the emperor a few days of effort, I believe that everyone will be satisfied by then. The prince spoke with a sloppy eye, and seemed to be really attractive to everyone, but it was just a delay.
Nangong Ming smiled coldly and knew that the prince would play Tai Chi like this, and he didn't want to answer the question head-on, but the prince didn't have an advantage today, so Nangong Ming didn't want the prince to pass the test so lightly. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, since the emperor doesn't necessarily like to listen to what the adults say, or the emperor is a little annoyed to listen to it.
Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart, and personally analyze with the emperor the importance of severely punishing the corruption case in Guangfu, I believe that His Majesty the Crown Prince will definitely be able to understand it with affection and reason, so that the emperor can hear it clearly and accept it immediately.
Because in the final analysis, this matter is also for the emperor's country. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most favored by the emperor, and he is his own father and son, there are some things that are inconvenient for adults to say, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say it. ”
After speaking, he turned to look at the ministers, and then said loudly: "My lords, let's kneel down and ask His Royal Highness the Prince, ask for the lives of the people of Guangfu, and ask for the lives of the officials of the DPRK and China." ”
After speaking, he immediately took the lead in kneeling down for the prince, and when everyone saw that the prince of Nangong knelt down, they all immediately knelt down. Many ministers in the prince's hall are reluctant to kneel, but now the shape is like this, if they don't kneel, they don't want to punish corrupt officials, and they don't want the people to have a happy life.
Then it is obvious that such people are in the league with corrupt officials. Therefore, Lord He and other princelings can't kneel, and they can't kneel. In the end, he could only bow his head and kneel down with everyone, for fear of seeing the prince's murderous eyes.
The prince was in a dilemma, so he stood in the main hall and looked at the officials who knelt on the ground. Sure enough, Nangong Ming is as cunning as a fox, and he actually tricks himself everywhere, and such a person can't be kept.
If he ascends to the throne, the first thing he will do is to give Nangong Ming a cup of poisonous wine, he will not be at peace day and night if he does not die, how can he sit on the throne?
The prince nodded awkwardly, and then personally helped Nangong Ming up, and the anger in his heart was suppressed. "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, this prince will definitely go to ask his father. But the crown prince knew that his father had always been kind and kind-hearted and cared about the safety of the people.
Naturally, I didn't want to see the killing, so I asked all the adults to ask for their lives with the prince at that time, and only punish the officials involved in the case, which is not as guilty as the children. I believe that this will also reduce the number of killings, what do you think? ”
Nangong Ming smiled coldly, the prince actually wanted to bargain, but Nangong Ming was not interested in those women and children, the prince wanted to keep these people, but he didn't want the ministers who followed him to feel cold. Since this is the case, Nangong Ming is naturally happy to be a favor, anyway, Nangong Ming didn't want to be a river of blood. (To be continued......) R1292
