Chapter 0084: City Head Game (5)
The two of them have their own ghosts, but they seem to be concentrating on the chess game, and their faces are full of contemplation.
Looking at Chen Ping's thoughtful face, Liu Hong put Du's matter aside for the time being and decided to go straight to the point.
"Ahh
An exaggerated sigh attracted everyone's attention, and Liu Hong shook his head and sighed: "Since the death of the first emperor's father, the Lu family has become more and more arrogant; The Queen Mother is old and can't look at politics, and the Lu traitors have repeatedly issued chaotic orders to disrupt the dynasty. β
"The Queen Mother has worked hard all her life, and she has never been together, but she has been affected by her disdainful son and nephew, and she has been stigmatized!"
"Every time I think of this, I am heartbroken..."
Seeing Liu Hong shed two tears of sorrow, Chen Ping hurriedly sat upright: "What Your Majesty said is very true!" β
For Chen Ping, this is today's drama!
Although the problem of the Lu family has been determined as early as the first Chang Dynasty, the little emperor's words of 'traitor' could not make the Lu group feel at ease.
Only the edict with black and red seals on white paper and the edict affirming the legitimacy of the princes and ministers to clean up the Lu clan can reassure the Lu group - with the Ming edict, it is impossible for the Lu clan to be rehabilitated.
If not, Liu Hong will change his order!
If Chen Ping really has any handle in Liu Hong's hands, it can only be regarded as the matter of destroying Zhu Lu, which is barely one.
As for the matter of 'Emperor Hui of Shangfei', it came to an end as early as when Marquis Ruyin 'committed suicide in shame' and Marquis Dongmu 'thundered in the sky'.
Listening to the meaning of the little emperor, it seems that he wants to make a final conclusion on the matter of the Lu family?
For Chen Ping, this is undoubtedly a major benefit!
However, as an outstanding political figure, Chen Ping naturally knows that political negotiation is actually an exchange of interests.
Both sides gritted their teeth and paid something they didn't want to pay in exchange for what they dreamed of, and then secretly gritted their teeth and said 'happy cooperation' on the surface.
The little emperor proposed to completely nail the coffin board of the Lu family, and the picture was naturally not small.
Sure enough, Liu Hong's next sentence confirmed Chen Ping's conjecture.
"The princes and ministers are edicted to beg for thieves, and I am very relieved!"
Verbally affirming the legitimacy of the princes and ministers to destroy Zhu Lu, Liu Hong put forward his own demand: "Now that the Lu clan is eliminated, the chaos of the Lu clan should also be eliminated; Those who were dismissed from office and lost their titles due to the order of the Lu family were also reinstated as officials. β
"What does the Prime Minister think?"
Chen Ping didn't answer in a hurry, his hand hovering on the chessboard, his mind was full of emotions.
Liu Hongdi's meaning, Chen Ping probably understood: restore the pattern of the court to the situation before Emperor Hui's death!
But...
Whether it is the hundred officials in the court, or the kings and waiters in various places, as long as they are close to the Lu family, almost all of them died in the previous incident, and the rest belong to Chen Ping's camp.
Little Emperor, what exactly do you want to do?
With a little doubt, the chess pieces fell, and Chen Ping gave up his hand slightly: "What Your Majesty said is very true." β
"However, the Lu clan troubled the dynasty, but they cleverly set up a name to kill the princes, and wanted to add crimes to persecute the virtuous."
"The minister is stupid and does not understand the holy will, and I ask Your Majesty to solve the doubts for the minister..."
Liu Hong smiled lightly, took out a son from the flag box, and said slowly: "I remember that when the first emperor's father was there, the third prince of the court was not the person of today? β
Hearing this, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his face couldn't help but sink.
Zhou Bo on the side was even more clever with the naked eye, and his face was full of horror!
During the reign of Emperor Xiaohui for most of the time, the three dukes of the court, Wang Ling on the left, Chen Ping on the right, and Taiwei were idle, and the imperial historian was Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping!
The little emperor wouldn't be really naΓ―ve enough to dismiss the captain with just five thousand soldiers and horses outside the city, right?
Seeing the appearance of the two of them like a great enemy, Liu Hong slowly showed a warm smile: "The evening, the song is already in phase, and the marquis is also a captain..."
Chen Ping's complexion warmed up at this time, and Zhou Bo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the purpose of the little emperor is obvious: to reinstate Wang Ling of An Guohou as the right minister, remove Cao Qi, the master of the imperial history, and reinstate Zhang Cangguan, the Marquis of Beiping!
"It's a big appetite!"
Secretly slandered himself, Chen Ping was just about to give up his hand, when he saw Liu Hong raise his hand slightly, and said with a meaningful face: "An Guohou is old, and I have no intention of separating the left and right phases." β
Hearing this, Chen Ping understood Liu Hongdi's intentions - Imperial Doctor!
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ping felt that it was barely acceptable to exchange the peace of mind of the entire Xulu Group at the expense of the Imperial Doctor.
It is true that the Imperial Historian is the Third Prince, with a golden seal and a purple ribbon, but for the time being, the Imperial Historian simply cannot play the power that matches his status as the 'Three Princes'.
The army was all under the control of the captain; Internal affairs and people's livelihood are all under the jurisdiction of the prime minister; The nominal duty of the Imperial Doctor: to picket hundreds of officials, it sounds like a black gauze hat for officials, but in fact, it is not so mysterious.
Because the appointment of officials below the thousand-stone level is directly selected by the Prime Minister's Office; Officials above 1,000 stone and below 2,000 stone are selected by the Prime Minister's Office, and the emperor uses a seal to express his approval.
As for the 2,000 stone level, it needs to be discussed by the court, and it will be decided by the hundred officials!
In this process, the only power of the Imperial Doctor is to use the official audit records in his hands to raise objections to a certain official candidate decided by the Prime Minister's Office or the Imperial Court.
Other than that, there is almost no authority to speak of.
Under the premise of controlling the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the vast majority of Jiuqing's yamen, even if the imperial historian Yamen is handed over, it will not have any impact on the Chen Ping group.
At least compared to the harvest, this impact is negligible - to cover the coffin of the Lu family, after the legitimacy of the Xulu Group is affirmed, everyone in the Xulu Group must accept Chen Ping's favor; Chen Ping Group's already somewhat separated hearts will also be reunited.
In general, this transaction is beneficial to Chen Ping and harmless!
However, a qualified politician will not compromise so easily...
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Historian Pingyang Marquis Cao Qiao, after being a meritorious hero, rashly reprimanded, and the ministers are afraid of things, in order to refer to Your Majesty's mistreatment of meritorious heroes?"
Looking at Chen Ping's tangled face, the corners of Liu Hong's mouth twitched violently, and 10,000 grass and mud horses rushed through his heart...
Old fox!
Liu Hong is very sure that Chen Ping agrees with this matter, even raising his hands and feet in agreement!
But Rao is like this, Chen Ping is still trying to make more profits...
Sure enough, the bottom line of politicians is that there is no bottom line!
Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Hong pretended to be afraid of being heard, slightly signaled Worm Da to retreat, and then leaned forward and motioned for Chen Ping to come over.
After Chen Ping also leaned over suspiciously, Liu Hongcai whispered with a slightly resentful tone: "When I was young, I saw Pingyang Yihou Ting humiliating the emperor's father!" β
Seeing Chen Ping's face shrunk in horror, Liu Hong impatiently motioned to Chen Ping to come over again: "If I don't take revenge, wouldn't I be the son of man?" β
