Volume 1 The End of the Dynasty Chapter 49 Etiquette Change, Huan Sheng's Night Visit

Huan Sheng stared closely at the scroll that could be called a letter of request, and this scroll could be called a heart-to-heart and to the point.

Although Huan Sheng didn't know much about the details of the change, he still knew that this change was all thanks to Uncle Yang, but there was no mention of Uncle Yang's exploits on this volume, but he pushed all this to his father, which was irrefutable. What's even more vicious is that those old nobles are written as weak, as if they have made great contributions to the court but have been mutilated by Uncle Yang in various ways.

These are not the places that make Huan Sheng angry, what is even more infuriating is that they are clearly threatening the national government, and they almost didn't directly write that without us, who will help you stabilize the government and the opposition.

But these are also the things that make Huan Sheng helpless, Uncle Yang is blocked in front of him, and he has to borrow the hands of those old nobles if he wants to do something.

Huan Sheng put the letter away, he didn't want to respond for the time being, and he wanted to watch Uncle Yang fight with them for a while, and when they were exhausted, it would be his chance. This is a game, Huan Sheng wants to get out, the risk is not small, but how can he have his own position if he doesn't fight?

The sky was in a hurry, Uncle Yang got up and packed up his court clothes, wearing this body always felt that he was still the same as before, but in his heart he was telling himself that the current emperor was no longer the first emperor, and this emperor and himself had an uncrossable gap, and this gap would be a hidden disaster that would break out in the future, but he had no way to fill it, so he could only let it exist.

Uncle Yang hurriedly ate his meal, boarded his carriage and headed for the palace gate. A group of courtiers followed the emperor's luan to the imperial tomb, one by one to offer incense, worship, and the servant read the sacrifice.

Originally, all this was presided over by Uncle Yang, but now it has been replaced by Huang Gongfu, the reason is that Huang Gongfu is the emperor's teacher, and his position is respected, and no one can stand out. Uncle Yang doesn't care much about these vulgar etiquette, everyone is the same, and even he feels that he is so idle.

But the following group of courtiers didn't think so, everyone looked at each other, they had already keenly sensed a trace of extraordinary aura from this matter, and some of them were even thinking about their position in their hearts, this competition is in the near future, which side will the emperor stand on? This is a question that must be carefully considered. There is no one here who is stunned, and they clearly know that the winner of this competition is decided by the emperor.

Uncle Yang returned to the mansion and sent the resignation letter he had written overnight to the emperor's study, and then went with Zihua to pay homage to the emperor.

When the two came to the mausoleum of the former emperor, Zihua suddenly cried loudly: "Brother Huang, last year in Chongyang, we drank together, laughing and talking about the husband's new law, saying that the husband is a capable minister, and today it is already separated by heaven and man!" ”

Uncle Yang was also sad in his heart, thinking of the ups and downs encountered along the way, the reason why he was able to complete the change so quickly was because the emperor was behind him, and he solved how many worries he had, and later married Zihua to himself, in fact, he knew in his heart that although Zihua was not the brother and sister of the emperor, the emperor now has to call him an aunt, and the nobles of the old family also have to call him a princess.

Uncle Yang silently asked himself, can he meet such an emperor again in the future? Obviously, it's impossible, there is only one emperor like this, there is no one in the front, and there will be no one in the future.

Uncle Yang sincerely hopes that the emperor can allow him to resign and leave.

After a long time, Uncle Yang helped up Zihua, who was almost crying and fainting, and the two slowly left the imperial mausoleum.

As soon as the sacrificial ceremony was over, Huan Sheng went straight back to the study, he saw all the things in today's ceremony, and the reactions of the courtiers were exactly what he wanted to see. Last night, someone put a letter of resignation on his case, and today Changshi sent Uncle Yang's resignation letter. He had to think carefully about how he could make this game more profitable.

Today's court all the officials are the courtiers of the father's time, courtiers like Uncle Yang are naturally not usable, their feelings for the father are too deep, it has long been impossible to use a little gold and silver money or high-ranking officials can be impressed, the old servant Chenghe crashed into the pillar in front of the door, its tragic situation is still vivid, the rest of the important ministers because of the death of their father, have been like mourning, grief overflowing, and even the next day when he came to the court was a burst of pain.

That's it, Huan Sheng took Uncle Yang's resignation letter and opened it, although he already knew that Uncle Yang had the intention to resign and leave, but the title of the frontispiece still surprised him - resignation letter.

Uncle Yang kowtowed to the emperor: the minister Yijie cloth, ordered by his mother to go out, and heard the emperor's "Seeking Talent" to enter the palace. At the time when the emperor sought to be virtuous and strong, although the minister was dull, he also wanted to extend what he had learned in his life, not to seek to leave a name in history, but to hope that the people would be stable. The first emperor did not treat his ministers as rude, and entrusted his ministers with heavy responsibilities.

In the past three years since the reform of the law, the ministers have not dared to forget the special experience of the previous emperor, and have governed the country diligently and have not slackened. Now that the law has been changed, the minister can show what he has learned, and this life is enough!

Suddenly hearing that the emperor had collapsed, the ministers were grief-stricken, in a trance like a serious illness, and almost wanted to go with the emperor, and felt like a big dream. Exhausted, feeling old, unable to specialize in state affairs. The minister has been in this position for a long time, and it is not beneficial to the country.

In addition, when the emperor was in the prime of life, he was rarely intelligent, had a city in his chest, and had both talent and morality.

May the emperor allow his ministers to resign and return to their hometowns, and keep filial piety for their mothers, which is the responsibility of the son of man, and also the cultivation of books and studies. In this way, the state affairs will be stable, and the ministers will be at peace!

Huan Sheng looked at the resignation letter on the case, and when he thought that Uncle Yang was leaving, he felt a sense of relief for no reason, as long as he nodded now, Uncle Yang would definitely leave, so that no one would stop him. But Huan Sheng calmed down again, although he would let the mountain in front of him disappear if he left, but when a mountain disappears, another mountain will appear, so it is better to let them collide with each other until they slowly disappear.

Huan Sheng knew that the sentences written in Uncle Yang's resignation letter were true, and with Uncle Yang's intelligence, he must be able to know the reason why he didn't let him go, but would he go in the direction he preset?

Yes, it will be, Uncle Yang seems to be full of indifference at today's sacrificial ceremony, but once he figures out his own ideas, he will definitely help himself, because Uncle Yang knows that the biggest hidden danger of the country is those old nobles, and with them occupying the court, how many talents will be lost in the wilderness.

But he must first use their power to stabilize the situation. So this is a risky game, you are the only one who is in the game, this is a game between yourself and yourself, first on the side of the sunspot, and then you have to change the formation, stand on the side of the white characters, and the final outcome is the death of both sides.

Huan Sheng got up and took out the book of letters of request again. Suddenly, someone came to report: Uncle Yang and Zihua went to worship the emperor!

This matter is commonplace, and it is normal for ministers to worship the emperor, and there is nothing to make a fuss about, Huan Sheng didn't take it to heart.

Suddenly, Huan Sheng seemed to think of something, there is really nothing on weekdays, although it is a little unruly, but it is also reasonable, but this is not a normal day, there is a great opportunity hidden in it.

Late autumn is approaching winter, the days are much shorter, and the night is in a hurry. The market began to be lively again, all kinds of noise sounded, this year is not bad, after all, at the time of the national funeral, all kinds of places for fun are closed, otherwise I am afraid that the excitement is much higher than now.

The small door next to the palace gate suddenly opened, and two people in black cloaks hurried out, one of them helped one to get into a carriage where ordinary officials sit, and hurriedly drove along the old official road, and did not know where they went.

Huang Gongfu had dinner and walked to the pond in the backyard for a walk as usual, his graceful figure swaying slightly. The moon in the sky was crooked in the calm pond, and Huang Gongfu stared at the pond, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, someone is coming." The butler walked over and whispered.

Huang Gongfu came back to his senses: "Who, have you ever said your name?" ”

"No, just let the little one talk, tonight's Rev Door opened. The man said that when the old man heard this, he would come and call him. ”

Huang Gongfu was shocked when he heard it, others may not know where Luhua Gate is, but he has been in the imperial city for nearly 20 years, and he knows this best, it is the small door next to the main gate of the palace, and this small door will only be opened when there is an emergency.

Huang Gongfu hurriedly came to the gate of the mansion, recognized the two figures at a glance, and was just about to salute when he was stopped by a person: "Let's enter the mansion and talk about it." ”

Huang Gongfu hurriedly got out of the way, and several people walked in. Come to the main hall.

"Vulgar rites are exempt. Did you hear that today he went to worship his father? Huan Sheng took off the cloak from his body and handed it to the eunuch serving behind him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard about it," Huang Gongfu knew that this was not the time to pretend to be stupid, he couldn't say that he didn't know, because the emperor had already known that he had sent someone to keep an eye on Uncle Yang, "It's normal for people to think about this matter, Yang Gong felt the kindness of the emperor, and went to worship in private, and his wife was also the sister of the emperor." ”

Huan Sheng looked at Huang Gongfu: "Okay, I'm relieved to have your words." I don't know if Aiqing has anything else to tell Yu Zhen. ”

"Your Majesty, although this matter is human nature, it is not in accordance with the rules, and Uncle Yang is a person who legislates, so he must pay the most attention to these rules, his move today, the old minister can't see it very clearly, and I hope the emperor will forgive him." Huang Gongfu suddenly fell to the ground. Huan Sheng never thought that this Huang Gongfu was obese and so flexible.

"Get up, I don't blame you. I will still rely on Aiqing in the future, and I hope that Aiqing will assist me a lot, so that I will not take detours. ”

Huan Sheng left, Huang Gongfu felt a little puzzled, did the emperor come to the house today just to say this?

Although the emperor is still young, he doesn't dare to be careless at all, and his mind is only afraid that he is still above the emperor. Huang Gongfu suddenly seemed to understand something, his heart was overjoyed, he sat on the chair and clapped his hands, he knew that it was impossible for the emperor to open the Luhua Gate at this time and come to the mansion to talk about what he hoped he would assist, everything was in these two days.
