In fact, in the final analysis, it is indeed the old man of Dongyang Pavilion who is not right, and it is no secret that he accepts bribes in Beijing, otherwise, it would not have come to this point. - To be honest, so far, there have been no weighty ministers who have written a serious impeachment of Dongyang Pavilion Elder, but there are only a few young people who dare to speak out and have the courage to do things, but the reputation of Dongyang Pavilion Elder has been in turmoil, and there is a momentum that will not be guaranteed in the evening.

After decades of ups and downs in the sea, except for those direct ministers who are famous for their integrity, who hasn't done something that can't stand the scrutiny? Generally speaking, it is impossible to bring down the ministers of the Zaifu with such a thing as corruption. Even if the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the possibility that the Son of Heaven will remain in the middle of the book is quite high, and it is not uncommon to reverse black and white and transfer the whistleblower to Beijing. If you want to find justice and fairness in the officialdom, it is better to play Wuxi Da Fu at home, political things, it is a need. The Son of Heaven needs the Sanyang Pavilion to stabilize the government, they are the tumblers who can't be bounced, as long as they don't commit a big taboo, they generally collect money to help people settle things and get promoted, as long as it is not too much, the Son of Heaven - now the Queen Mother, also knows how to suppress it and not expand the situation.

But the problem is that now Dongyang Pavilion has committed a big taboo...... He has crossed the dividing line between civil and military, and directly inserted his hand into the promotion of military generals, and it is not out of his own political interests, but simply to collect money and do things - even according to the standards of ordinary corrupt officials, this is too ugly.

Although the Son of Heaven is not happy to see intrigue for the sake of political interests and the formation of factions and factions based on contradictions in the strategy of governing the country, this can also be regarded as the power of scholars. If Dongyang Pavilion is always a supporter of building forts in Tuntian and forging ahead, he wants to squeeze out the Liaodong guards who are conservative and hold the front line and do not want to expand, then there is a little truth to talk about, but now the position of the whole country on border affairs is steady and conservative, and there is no mistake or correctness in the position of the commander, it is purely just to make money to keep his official position - you must know that the commander and the general army are the existence of the level of feudal officials, To put it bluntly, it is the merit of the elder Dongyang Pavilion who interfered in the level of military generals in the feudal territory for the sake of money.

Although it is said that the military is controlled by civilians, even if the military generals and civil officials are of the same grade, they are not dwarves, but it has not reached such an excessive point, just imagine that today it will be peaceful because of money, and tomorrow it will be because of money to cover up more serious defeats? At least, that's what the imperial history said, trying his best to exaggerate the seriousness of this matter, and he almost didn't explicitly point to the old man of Dongyang Pavilion and scolding the traitorous ministers of the country.

Yes, the truth of the Shifengkou incident was finally exposed, and it was stabbed up to the desk of the Queen Mother in such an orthodox way of the imperial history. The past events of a few years ago set off a huge wave in the imperial court, and, in the tone of Song Shuli, this is not to make the old man of Dongyang Pavilion stink, and its purpose is to bring him down!

This, of course, also provoked a strong backlash from the Cabinet, which has always been a single entity, no matter how many disputes there are in private. To put it mildly, Dong Yang can't fall because of this matter, this will seriously weaken the authority of the cabinet, besides, who knows what shit is sitting under the ass of the remaining two Lord Yang? Dongyang fell because of corruption, is there going to be a murder in Xiyang's family? What kind of system is this? After many years of slaughtering and servicing important ministers of the court, don't you even save a little face? - Besides, this group of old ministers has formed a poetry club in recent years, and they have gathered regularly to sing harmony, which is really elegant, and they have also contacted a lot of friendship with each other.

Just because of this matter, now the court is in a miasma, and there is no peace. The Queen Mother didn't dare to let the Queen Mother know about it at all, for fear of arousing her worries and delaying her rest. It just so happened that Xu Xun was also busy settling down the affairs of the palace for a while, serving the Queen Mother to recuperate, and many times she had to face the ministers alone, which made the Queen Mother have a tendency to be alone. Anyway, when she and the ministers meet, they have to be separated by a screen, and the ministers don't care whether Xu Xun sits or stands behind the screen.

There was a waiter in front of him, and when the two entered the house, Lord Shoufu Yang was already kneeling on the ground and waiting, and the Queen Mother hurriedly ordered, "Quickly help up Mr. - Mr. is an old man, didn't he already say that he should do half a salute?" - You don't persuade either! ”

Lord Yang of the first assistant saluted the queen mother and the concubine in a respectful voice, "I asked to see you today, but I sent it to the court." ”

Generally speaking, the cabinet wrote a ticket and sent it directly to the celebrant supervisor, who forwarded it to the emperor, who thought it was necessary to summon the minister, and then sent someone to summon him. Shoufu took the initiative to ask for a send-off, which is a relatively rare situation, the Queen Mother glanced at Xu Xun, sighed exaggeratedly, and said, "But what are the important military matters that need to be discussed?" ”

"The dignity of the cabinet ministers is already in jeopardy." Lord Shoufu Yang said in a deep voice, "This is also a big deal, please check it out." ”

This slightly threatening tone is already polite, and in the past month, Shousuke-sama has said even more excessively. Ten years ago, Lord Shoufu definitely couldn't treat Emperor Xuanzongzhang like this, let alone Emperor Taizongwen like this twenty years ago, but the power is not permanent, and the seven-year monopoly of power has made the cabinet have a very heavy authority in front of the inner court. Even if the Queen Mother doesn't like to be treated like this, she can only endure it like Xu Xun, and this tone is destined to never come back. ——As a minister who cares about fate and makes decisions, the court can't treat the current elders badly at all.

The matter has been delayed for a month, and it seems that the New Year is coming, and there is no conclusion yet. Xu Xun used his ass to know what Lord Shoufu wanted to say - anyway, if he didn't get rid of Xiyang's exploits, the harm of Xiyang's attack, and the inappropriateness of Yushi's reckless crime against Jifu without evidence, etc., in short, it was another attempt to force the Queen Mother to give in.

And the Queen Mother's thoughts, she is also clear, just like she was suppressed when she was in charge, the Queen Mother was also pickled by many courtiers, and she would not see these rotten things less than Xu Xun. I have long held a big breath in my heart, and now it is rare for Dongyang to show such a big flaw, and Song Shu still has eyebrows and eyes, and it is the same as the truth, judging from the reaction of the ministers, it is indeed not a fraud. Of course, she also wants to take advantage of this to set off a storm and correct the attitude of the cabinet. So the two of them were on this bar, and no one could persuade anyone to give in, so it dragged on for almost a month without a conclusion.

is not in his position, does not seek his own government, Xu Xun originally did not have much opinion on this matter, but today the Queen Mother pulled her here, obviously hoping to borrow her ability, but she didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking, and listened quietly for a while, and probably grasped the focus of the current contradiction: The Queen Mother means that there may not be no reason for nothing, let the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate, anyway, if Dongyang is not afraid of shadows, it is a casual investigation, and he can also return his innocence. And Shoufu means that this kind of groundless rumors should be resolutely refuted, and it is all a trick to investigate, and they are all sorry for Dongyang's years of hard work.

The two of them came and went like this, the Queen Mother was not hard, and Shousuke was not to the point of breaking the kettle, so it felt like he was talking nonsense, and he didn't reach an agreement for almost half an hour. Xu Xun watched coldly, but he saw a little problem, and felt that these two people had no determination to achieve their goals rather than turn their faces, and they had scruples about each other, so they were stalemate there, and it was very likely that this kind of wrestling situation, as long as someone made up their minds, they could lay the situation in one fell swoop. - For example, if the first assistant makes a statement, the second assistant will also go, and he is willing to use his reputation to ensure that the second assistant is clear and cloudy, so can the queen mother really investigate? Without Shousuke-sama, how would the country function?

Or for example, the Queen Mother, this kind of thing doesn't have to be done by the procuratorate, the East Factory side found out a few years ago, with her dependence on the East Factory, it is impossible for her not to summon Liu Zhien to question, she must also have a decisive evidence in her hand, if you throw it out, can Lord Shoufu still turn a blind eye? The facts are all there, and as soon as the inner court investigates, Dongyang is the result of his resignation. - She even suspected that the thick letter pressed by the Queen Mother's hand might be Liu Zhien's report, but she didn't seem to have the intention of using a trump card, just patiently going around in circles with Shoufu.

Today's journey around the circle is still not over, seeing that the sky is getting twilight, neither of them dares to go, Xu Xun waited a little impatiently, according to her own guess, she leaned slightly into the queen mother's ear, and whispered a word.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows suddenly raised, and she glanced at Xu Xun with a little surprise, "Is this true?" ”

Xu Xun nodded and said, "That's what I said casually when I was chatting with him." ”

The Queen Mother immediately did not hesitate, she picked up the letter and handed it to Jin Ying, "Go, show it to Shoufu." ”

After the two exchanged a few glances, Xu Xun's heart was already bright: as she thought, the reason why the Queen Mother hesitated was because she didn't know who the other party behind the imperial history was, and she was afraid that if she went to Dongyang, she would rise to be even more unreliable, so it would be better to feed this. That's why her attitude is so soft, and she will suddenly harden after knowing that Bolt may be the mastermind behind the scenes. - Since the emperor wants Dongyang to go to the throne, as the queen mother, she has no reason to dismantle the emperor. Under the oppression of the powerful outer court, the inner court must huddle together in order to gradually grow stronger, and finally integrate the power into itself in the name of justice.

However, the matter of the spokesperson arranged by Zhu'er should not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Dongchang, and it is even likely that it was done through Liu Zhien, didn't Liu Zhien report it to the Queen Mother......

Xu Xun had a question in her heart for a moment, but it was not this matter that she should focus on now, she still moved her attention to the other side of the screen—waiting for Lord Shousuke's response.

It also took a while to watch the music, and Lord Shoufu was extremely quiet during this time, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice, "The minister pleads to the two mothers for Yang Mianren." ”

actually abandoned Dongyang very simply, and only relied on Dongchang's performance to admit the crime on behalf of Dongyang?

Xu Xun was only surprised for a moment, and then, he couldn't help but be heartbroken by Lord Shoufu's bearing and determination: he had not tied himself to Dongyang before, but he was afraid that he had expected this matter earlier, or he might have known about it earlier. It's just that the inner court has always been more weak, so he is pretending to be arrogant and wants to try to see if he can subdue the cabinet and keep Dongyang. Now that the Queen Mother has thrown out this evidence, it is inevitable that Dongyang's crime will be implemented, so he immediately gave up his original idea, and now, it is estimated that he wants to intercede for Dongyang and try to get him out with the dignity of the whole cabinet.

The development of the situation was similar to what she thought, after some bargaining, the Queen Mother still failed to achieve her goal of 'letting the Metropolitan Procuratorate come to investigate, and let all the officials learn a lesson and learn from this', instead, it was the result of the matter coming to an end, and Dongyang begging for bones with illness. It can be regarded as preserving the dignity of the cabinet to the greatest extent, and achieving a win-win situation for the queen mother and the first assistant.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is really satisfied in her heart or not, since she and Shousuke have agreed to this result, this matter is really over. At this time, it was already twilight, and Lord Shoufu Yang hurriedly retreated, and wanted to leave the palace before the dusk drum. As for the Queen Mother and Xu Xun, they can also go back to their respective palaces and have dinner.

The Queen Mother did not ask Xu Xun in detail why she told the emperor the details of this matter that day - there was no need to hide this kind of matter from the emperor, and she may have said it casually during small talk. She and Xu Xun walked side by side, walking all the way in silence before they let out a soft breath.

"The bolt has grown up." She whispered, with a little sadness and helplessness in her tone, but also a touch of pride. "After all, it's getting more and more like an emperor!"

Although her son and her were separated from morality, such a big move, there was no discussion or consultation in advance, however, after all, the emperor has grown up, and he has already known how to use all kinds of means to remove all kinds of obstacles on the road to real power, which can't help but make her quite gratified: after all, Zhu'er is still a piece of material for the emperor.

Xu Xun knew her unfinished words, she paused, then squeezed out a decent smile, and echoed, "Yes, after all, I have grown up, and I already have my own thoughts......

He is only fourteen years old this year, and he can't wait to take over the power, and the emperor's thoughts are really strong.
