Remember in a second!! 【Wild Sand Literature Network】Mobile phone user input:

June 24, Hanlin Academy, waiting for the edict hall.

Lu Jing, Ge Yin, Chen Ting, and Zhao Xian gathered together, and the rest of the people who were not qualified to go to the court also sat together, waiting for the specific results of the court.

"I didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing as soon as we entered the Hanlin Academy!" Ge Yin sighed with some frustration.

"I'm afraid that the situation between the DPRK and China will not be too optimistic, the former Tianjin University Scholar was removed by the emperor, and now there are only Song University Scholars, in comparison, it is too weak." Chen Ting also frowned, in less than three days, the head of the Hanlin Academy and the master of the Book Hall were dismissed one after another, which not only greatly damaged the vitality of the Hanlin Academy, but also dealt a big blow to morale.

The day before yesterday, Jin Yue was summoned by the Emperor Taishang to the Taiji Palace for questioning, it is said that Jin Yue's words fiercely collided with the emperor, and the old disease of the emperor's anger recurred, and the emperor was furious, and dismissed Jin Yue from his position as a bachelor on the spot, and put him at home to let him think about it behind closed doors.

Lu Jing was not surprised that the Emperor was involved in it at this time, from the time when the emperor decreed to decide the fate of "Qianxing Shilu" at the court meeting, he had a feeling that this book was afraid that it would not be able to be saved, and now that "Qianxing Shilu" has been brought to the court, it is estimated that there is no return.

But the emperor will definitely not let the situation develop like this, otherwise he will not hand over the original manuscript to him.

Lu Jing now has an extreme sense of powerlessness and grievance, in this incident, from being selected to join the compilation team, to being questioned by the emperor, sent by the emperor, and then sitting here and waiting today, he has been in a very passive position.

It's just an insignificant chess piece in the emperor's hand, and when the emperor needs him to play, he can play, and when he doesn't need to play, he doesn't even have the qualifications to know and participate.

He originally planned to move up one step at a time, but now such a mind is gone.

I secretly decided in my heart that I wanted to climb to a high position as soon as possible, and I must not be like now, my fate is completely in the hands of others and I am controlled by others at will.

"I heard that two days ago, the emperor has been taking care of the emperor in Taiji Palace, and yesterday the emperor summoned Li Shangshu and Feng Shangshu one after another?" Ge Yin asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yesterday Jiayue was also summoned by the emperor, and I heard my father-in-law say that although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he kept mentioning the emperor's illness again, and the meaning was already obvious, that is, let everyone do what the emperor wanted, and not stimulate the emperor."

"I also heard from the family teacher, most of the officials in Beijing today are the protégés of several old Shangshu, and several old Shangshu have spoken, and they can only obey orders, not to mention that the emperor is still sick, and they dare not scruple!" Lu Jing nodded, but he was suspicious of the emperor's illness in his heart.

Chen Ting sighed: "Alas! I hope that Scholar Song and they can return victoriously, after all, it is the hard work of Scholar Cui in his life! ”

Ge Yin looked pessimistic and said: "I don't expect to be able to keep the book, as long as I can keep the people, I heard that they not only want to **, but also give Scholar Cui the crime of bullying the king." ”

"Hmph, a bunch of shameless people!" Chen Ting said a little angrily.

"Brother Yan's anger, in my opinion, this matter will not be so simple, let's wait for the result!" Lu Jing persuaded.

The other people in the Hanlin Courtyard also looked worried, even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, they would make a posture of hatred and hatred at this moment.

It didn't take long for news to come from the court, and the situation in Jinshang was really as everyone in the Hanlin Academy was worried about, and the main force of the Hanlin Academy was crushed by the opponent with an overwhelming advantage.

Xu Chengjing and others not only received the support of the Emperor Taishang, but also those noble generals also participated, and on the side of the Hanlin Academy, in addition to insiders, almost no one spoke for Cui Xilie in the six departments of the court, the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, James Mansion, and the General Political Envoy Division.

Now that the Emperor is sick, if the Emperor is stimulated and the Emperor dies, it will be the sin of the Nine Clans, and none of them dare to take this risk.

The result was set, and the emperor immediately issued an order to let Xu Chengjing personally destroy the "Qianxing Record", but Cui Xilie's crime was not decided on the spot.

Xu Chengjing took the "Records of Qianxing" back to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and in front of everyone in the Ministry of Rites, he personally threw the book into the brazier and burned it.

Many people in the Hanlin Academy were very dissatisfied with this result, especially when they learned that Xu Chengjing had burned the books, many people wrote to resign, and Peng Chu even went on a hunger strike in Dali Temple Prison to protest.

Since Su Youzhi learned about this, he has been speeding up his trip, but he has been blocked on the way for no reason, so he guessed that someone didn't want him to return to the capital so soon.

He immediately broke away from the main army, took only two followers, and hurried back to the capital without stopping, but he was still a step too slow.

After learning that the book was destroyed, Su Youzhi waited for Xu Chengjing on his way home, stopped him, and scolded Xu Chengjing angrily on the street.

Lu Jing was at home facing those manuscripts, waiting for the reversal of the results, he had basically guessed the way of the emperor and the emperor.

The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor should both want to revise the "Qianxing Record", because they both have black spots, and they want to use this incident to remind the follow-up revision of history, how to whitewash history.

The emperor should have more thoughts, and he also wanted to kill Xu Chengjing without arousing suspicion, so the two co-starred in this big play.

As for sending the manuscript to him, it is estimated that he wants to see his choice, which should be regarded as the emperor's test for himself.

On the second day when Su Youzhi angrily scolded Xu Chengjing, the matter spread all over the streets and alleys, and the specific reason was also spread by the people.

That night, the Emperor Taishang called the emperor to the Taiji Palace, reprimanded, and the news also came out of the palace, and then the Emperor Taishang personally issued an order to overturn the case for Cui Xilie, and issued an edict to reconvene the manpower and compile the "Qianxing Record".

Emperor Yuanyong also followed Emperor Taishang and issued a holy decree, releasing Peng Chu, who had been imprisoned, and also expressed that when the new "Qianxing Record" was compiled, he would re-erect a monument for Cui Xilie to engrave a biography.

When Xu Chengjing heard the content of the Emperor's decree, he was angry and vomited blood, and he realized at this moment that he was being used by the Emperor.

At the beginning, the Emperor Taishang hinted to him that as long as he could solve the problem of "Qianxing Shilu", he would help him stabilize the situation in Zhejiang, and would not let the emperor interfere in the situation in Zhejiang.

Xu Chengjing was completely discouraged at the moment, not only for himself, but also for the officialdom of Zhejiang, although he did not fully believe in the Emperor, he had already made two preparations.

But now the emperor's statement will undoubtedly lead to everyone falling into the trap for him, and it will be difficult for him to continue to stay in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Once he loses power, the power of the Zhejiang family in the DPRK will also be implicated, he knows that he has completely lost in this game, and now how to maintain the strength of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang family is the most important.

So Xu Chengjing took the initiative to take responsibility, resigned from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and recommended Xu Bo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to succeed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After Emperor Yuanyong received Xu Chengjing's resignation, he did not immediately approve it, but continued to let the matter ferment.

Seeing that the direction of the wind had changed, no matter what their intentions were, the ministers of the DPRK and China demanded that Xu Chengjing, Yu Hong and others be severely punished, and cited the evidence of Xu Chengjing's party crimes.

In particular, the officials who are qualified to compete for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are even more energetic and want to completely overthrow Xu Chengjing.

Emperor Yuan Yong also kept these excerpts and did not send them, but he picked a few copies and sent them to Xu Chengjing.

Xu Chengjing understood what the emperor meant, was to let him take the interests of Zhejiang, in exchange for the opportunity for him to spend his old age in peace, without the slightest hesitation, he agreed, now the layout of Zhejiang has been launched, without the support of the emperor, and there is no response from him in the court, if the news of Zhejiang reaches the capital, I am afraid his fate will be even more miserable.

On June 28, Emperor Yuan Yong approved Xu Chengjing's resignation, and appointed Chen Ju, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time appointed Su Youzhi as the political envoy of Zhejiang.

But Su Youzhi firmly refused the appointment and wanted to stay in Beijing to recompile the "Qianxing Shilu".

Lu Jing knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage at this point, but he was also facing a dilemma at the moment, struggling with whether to publish all the manuscripts, this choice was related to his future officialdom positioning and image.

If all the manuscripts were published, it would be tantamount to destroying the plan of the emperor and the emperor, and his future career would basically end there.

But if some content is deleted, it will undoubtedly become a stain on his personal character, and he will be manipulated by Emperor Yuan Yong, which is equivalent to having a handle to be controlled by Emperor Yuan Yong.

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Jing still decided to delete some of the content in the manuscript, and some of the handles were in the hands of Emperor Yuan Yong, so that Emperor Yuan Yong would be more at ease with him, and besides, there was still a long way to go, and maybe what would happen in the future.

After the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor learned that Lu Jing's published manuscript was incomplete, they were satisfied with Lu Jing's choice, and Emperor Yuan Yong immediately issued an order to appoint Gao Tai as the chief editor and Lu Jing as the deputy editor-in-chief, and on the basis of the remnant manuscript, revise the "Qianxing Record".
