Chapter 59: Cannon Fodder and Temptation
At two o'clock, outside the Daqing Palace.
The civil and military officials couldn't wait for the emperor who came to the early dynasty, but waited for the eunuchs of the inner province.
"Your Majesty has a decree, and all the early dynasties of this month will be canceled, and I will do this."
A burst of exclamations sounded, all kinds of suspicions suddenly appeared, and after all the important ministers left the palace, they gathered together in twos and threes according to their distant relatives to inquire about each other's news.
There is a precedent for His Majesty to cancel the early dynasty for no reason, but it has never been canceled for a month all at once.
Most people think about whether His Majesty is sick with the dragon's body, and if so, you need to plan ahead.
However, everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no definite news, and everyone did not dare to speak openly and honestly about the emperor.
In case the emperor is not sick, you can guess for a long time, being accused is a big sin that curses the dragon body, and no one can afford to bear it.
The ministers dispersed with doubts, and they didn't take it seriously, after all, the emperor was old, and it was possible to be lazy.
Jiang Chu, the secretary of the military department, returned to the house, and before he had time to change into court clothes, someone came to report: "Master, the Duke of Beisi Yao is here." ”
"Oh! He's coming? ”
Jiang Chucai's eyes flashed, Yao Baobao was a member of the inner court, although he had always been good friends with them, but he rarely came to his mansion.
After all, an inner court, an outer court, need to avoid suspicion.
Now that Yao Baobao has just dispersed the court, he can't wait to come to see him, which must be related to the holy decree of canceling the month-early pilgrimage today.
"Someone, change clothes!"
The two maids came in when they heard the sound, helped him take off the crown, cleaned his face, gathered his hair and wrapped his scarf, and took out a set of incense light robes for him to change into. ”
"What?"
Yao Baobao glanced around, and there were some maids and servants standing.
Jiang Chucai waved his hand lightly, and several family members standing in the hall immediately bowed down and retreated.
"Brother Yao, please speak."
Yao Baobao lowered his voice and said, "A few days ago, Miao De accepted that Xiliang Chen Shou as his righteous son, and introduced him to face the saint. That kid is talking nonsense, and he is so bold that he dares to deceive His Majesty and offer medicine under the pretext of his name, and he has already won His Majesty's trust. ”
"What did you do when Your Majesty stopped for a month? It's all this demagoguery saint, saying that they want to burn incense and clean their clothes and take the elixir! ”
Jiang Chucai gasped, walked back and forth in the room, his eyes flashed, leaned forward slightly, and said attentively: "I don't want such a traitor to happen in the court." As soon as he came from Xiliang, he had a problem with his background, and he was from a feudal town; second, he colluded with Miao De's generation, these old things must be unwilling to fail, and want to use this to make waves again; The three fangs dared to bully the king and do such a thing as offering pills... If this thief is not removed, there will be no peace in Daqi. ”
Yao Baobao said in a deep voice: "What Brother Jiang said is very true, but now that His Majesty is on the rise, if we make rash remarks, I am afraid of touching Your Majesty's backlash and causing unnecessary trouble." ”
Jiang Chu knew what he meant, it was nothing more than to find a cannon fodder to test His Majesty's determination. This kind of thing is very unkind, and of course it cannot be said explicitly.
"Brother Yao, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to find a few clever and bold people from the imperial history who can speak well, and write to Your Majesty to expose the evil intentions of this thief."
"That's exactly how it should be."
......
In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Fu was addicted to pills, meditated in the futon every day, and ignored the government and politics.
Yu Shi Cui Hao and Huang Jing jointly wrote a letter, reprimanding Chen Shou for his demons, Miao De and others harboring evil intentions, and asking the emperor to kill Chen Shou and belittle Miao De.
On the second day of the recital, Long Yan was furious, and the two imperial histories were beheaded and their homes were raided, and the government and the opposition were silent for a while.
Immediately, the decree came out again, this time in reward.
Yi Lu Du Lieutenant, crowned Jinmen Yuke Chen Shou, and promoted to a free cavalry attendant.
This is not the eunuch of the Han Dynasty, since the Tang Dynasty, this position is often held by the minister's doctor.
This official is in name only, and he is very noble, but he has an advantage, that is, he can freely enter and exit the forbidden middle school, and he often serves the emperor. If you travel by royal car, you have to ride loosely.

In the summer palace, a Taoist temple with a purple and gold roof appears in the garden, which does not appear abrupt at all.
A group of Taoist priests were overjoyed, and their eyes were full of pride that could not be hidden, and what they saw was not only a Taoist temple, but also the hope and signs of the rise of Taoism.
Of course, Chen Shou was not so excited, he was lying on a carved wooden couch, still thinking about the two imperial histories that had just been raided.
Wenchen's counterattack has begun, and these two imperial histories are just cannon fodder who came up to test the waters.
Their mission of cannon fodder has been completed very thoroughly, but the actions of the Wenchen will not stop because of this, and I am afraid that they will have to move in earnest.
Unless it is to shake the emperor's trust in himself, nothing can defeat him now, and the biggest enemy is time...
In a year's time, before the death of the old emperor, to seize power! At least we must influence the new monarch's rise and prepare for the next dynasty.
Chen Shouchang sighed, time is really urgent.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a familiar voice came to my ears, and an old eunuch walked over with a smile, and said as he walked: "Little Chen Duwei... Hey, look at our mouth, it's time to call Xiao Chen Changshi. ”
Chen Shou turned his head and saw that it was Wang Xiangnian, the steward of the East Palace, who was stiff with a carp, and he already had a bright smile when he got up, "Steward Wang, why did you have time to come to the Summer Palace?" ”
"Hey, isn't this Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you want to come to our summer palace to enjoy the coolness, I heard that a new Taoist temple has been built here. His Royal Highness is the most revered Grandpa Sanqing, and he wants to come to the pillar incense no matter what. Hehe, now that you're the viewer here, can you make it easier? ”
Li Lingfeng?
Chen Shou suddenly remembered the scenery under his skirt, and he was a little distracted, but he immediately came back and said with a smile: "What do you say Xiao Chen, I also came from the East Palace, His Royal Highness is coming, so I naturally have to go to greet him in person." ”
When the old steward saw that Chen Shou was still as friendly and talkative as when he was in the East Palace, he couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum, and went to arrange the incense.
The crown princess's guard of honor should have been very large, but now that the East Palace is not powerful, many things have to be passed by, which is very perfunctory.
This is in Li Lingfeng's arms, she is not a person who wants to be a good princess, there are fewer idle people around her, and many things are convenient to do.
For example, today, she can break away from the people around her, come to Sanqing Hall alone, and teach Chen Shou face-to-face.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little embarrassing, Chen Shou secretly glanced at Li Lingfeng, who was kneeling on the futon and making a wish, her side face was really good-looking.
Under the statue of the god, there is a milky white halo, white and tender to the extreme, coupled with the smoke of cigarettes, people look at it and think that this is a fairy.
It's a pity that this fairy can speak.
"Look again, gouge out your eyeballs!"
