"Hou Ye rest assured, the humble post will definitely bring Shen Guang and Sun Simiao back." Niu Jinda bowed loudly and said.
"If you can't do anything, focus on your own safety, you can give up Sun Simiao." Wang Junlin thought for a moment and added further.
"Humble duty understood." After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he quickly hugged his fists with Wang Sichun, and then turned around and left together.
After the two left, Wang Junlin came to the door, looked up at the sky, and found that there was no sign of a solar eclipse in the sky.
"Is there a mistake in the historical record? No, maybe it's because my appearance has changed history and changed the time of Queen Dugu's death, so will there be a solar eclipse? ”
"A solar eclipse is definitely going to happen, but I don't know when?"
"And without the appearance of the solar eclipse as an introduction, Yang Yong wants to make trouble, at least after the queen's funeral, can I wait until that time to pretend to be sick."
Wang Junlin muttered to himself, his expression strange and emotional.
……
……
Yang Suzheng was worried that he was framed to assassinate Wang Junlin, thinking about what kind of price he would pay this time to ease his cheeks in front of Yang Jian, and then he heard Xu Jingzong shouting outside the door: "Guogong, Guogong, the queen is in the sky." ”
Is the queen a big deal? Yang Su was stunned for a moment before reacting. Gou Yan has been breathing until today, and Queen Dugu is finally gone?
This was not good news for him and the crown prince, but it was a great opportunity to get out of the difficulties in front of him.
Yang Su didn't have much emotion, only the pros and cons were estimated.
However, soon Yang Su only felt that a boulder was pressed on his heart, and from now on, the most honorable person in the palace was only Emperor Yang Jian, who was suspicious of all civil and military ministers, and also supported Yang Guang as the prince, Yang Jian's idea was not very firm.
……
……
The bells of the Taoist temple in the capital rang together, announcing to all the people in the world that the queen collapsed in the palace.
As soon as the bell rang through the clouds and cracked the stones, more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Daxing City came out of their houses one after another, counting the number of bells ringing.
More than a year ago, because the queen was seriously ill, the auxiliary ministers were often ordered to pray to the heaven and earth, the temple, the shrine and the shrine in the capital, and the temple was also a dojo every three or five times. The men and women in the capital who had no money to buy the degree, so that they had been children, children, and novices for more than ten years and could not be shaved, were also given the degree by special decree.
As for all the slightly famous doctors in the world, Buddhist and Taoist monks, famous people outside the world, and people who have lived for more than eighty years, etc., they have been found by Yang Jian and sent to Kyoto. Even Sun Simiao, known as the miracle doctor and the king of medicine, also came to the capital.
But all this failed to save Queen Dugu's life. They were disturbed for four or five hundred days, including the battle with Tuyuhun and the Turks in Yongzhou last year. During this period, the palace has been busy, until Queen Dugu is in the sky today.
One of the two founding saints of the Great Sui Dynasty, a generation of virtuous queens Dugu Jia Luobintian, naturally wanted to hold a funeral with the specifications of a national funeral, and according to the system of dropping out of the dynasty and banning music.
As long as the funeral begins, it will be carried out for nine consecutive days, this is still because of the hot weather, if in winter, there will be a full eighty-one days, and this is the queen's mausoleum Yang Jian has already ordered to be prepared, if the queen's mausoleum is not settled, then, the time of the suspension will be longer.
Since it was a national funeral, the Manchu civil and military forces in Kyoto had to participate, and Wang Junlin was spared from participating because he was seriously ill and dying.
……
……
On the ninth and last day, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, the imperial family, and the clan collectively paid tribute to the Empress Dowager. The Son of Heaven and the courtiers came to the Shenju Palace as usual, and the imperial historian was in charge of picketing and impeachment, and the imperial historian Su Wei was staring in the hall to see which official had violated the etiquette system.
Shang Shuling has been empty since Gao Ying was deposed, and the largest official left servant, Yang Su, was dressed in mourning clothes and led the ministers to worship, and the clan and the imperial family also saluted in the train. Although the clouds dropped out of the dynasty, the pilgrimage ceremony in the palace of the gods was the same as the ritual of the usual dynasty.
Shangshu's right servant, the crown prince Shaobao, and the imperial historian Su Wei sat behind the palace door, staring closely at the courtiers' every move in the palace, and the pair of eyes of his subordinates were also like eagles and falcons, from the robe to the outfit, not letting go of any details. Dress is part of the etiquette system, and the slightest mistake represents disrespect to the Empress Dowager. Everyone knows that the emperor must be in a very bad mood at this time, and whoever dares to show disrespect for the dead Queen Dugu in this kind of scene will definitely be unlucky.
However, at this time, Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, was not in the main hall, and the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments were not there except for Su Wei. They are all discussing in the side hall with Yang Jian, although it is said that they have dropped out of the dynasty, it is just that they are not in the court, after all, a huge empire, there are too many political affairs to deal with every day, and there are some things that can be put on the back for a while, but some things are impossible to delay.
The rebellion of the Nanping barbarians in the Minshu region was quelled by the general Mai Tiecane of Zuotunwei, and these Nanping barbarian territories were completely included in the rule of the Great Sui, although the population was not much, a total of more than 100,000 people, but the area was not small, and the imperial court had determined to set up a new county, named Nanping County.
In addition, the newly restored land needs to be governed, immigration, reclamation, and pacification of the barbarian natives, which urgently requires a lot of financial, material and human resources, which requires the imperial court to raise money, materials and manpower for this purpose. After the establishment of Nanping County, it also represents more official positions, more merits, and more opportunities for promotion, which makes many officials who have things to do with their hearts rush to it. There are many people who have done everything possible to rush up and go to the door, even Wang Junlin, who claims to be recuperating at home, and some people have come to the door and begged him to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty for this.
The establishment of a series of civil and military officials in Nanping County, the defense of the garrison, these things can not be delayed as soon as possible, but in the morning about the appointment of the three main officials of Nanping County, Changshi, and Yingyanglang, the court has debated very much, and there is still no conclusion.
However, today's topic will not be limited to this one matter, Su Wei glanced in the direction of the side hall of the Shenju Palace, his expression was a little complicated, as early as five days ago, he had noticed that an unusual force was secretly preparing to impeach Yang Su, including nearly one-third of the imperial history under his command.
Su Wei was naturally extremely angry that the officials under his command had impeached Yang Su and other figures he couldn't provoke without his consent, but he thought that he couldn't afford to offend so many mysterious figures who were able to quietly connect so many officials in the DPRK and China, not to mention that he had quietly checked the history and footsteps of the impeachment of Yang Su this time, and these people all had a common feature - they were all promoted and placed in the Yushitai by Gao Ying from various states and counties.
It's just that time has passed too long, so except for Su Wei, an old minister who is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory and is known for his cunning, no one else has noticed this. And with Su Wei's character, he would never tell anyone what he found unless he was forced to do so.
Therefore, he used the picket hall today to pay tribute to whether the officials violated the etiquette system, and deliberately avoided the storm in the side hall next to him.
However, Yang Su dared to send someone to use the army's eight-ox crossbow and strong crossbow to openly assassinate a border general and the founding marquis on the streets of the capital, which was a bit serious.
It doesn't matter if you find someone to kill Wang Junlin, such as sending dead soldiers and hiring heroes from the green forest, as long as you don't leave evidence, it's not a matter for an important minister like Yang Su. However, if the Eight Ox Crossbow and the Strong Crossbow were used privately in the army, and the Hou Guanfu obtained conclusive evidence and evidence, the nature was completely different. What's more, this is a deliberate plan by someone, so naturally he will not let go of this opportunity to bring down Yang Su.
There are only more than 20 imperial historians in total, and one-third of them have impeached Yang Su because of this matter. Among them, the sharp wording said that Yang Su mobilized the Eight Ox Crossbow and the Strong Crossbow without authorization to shoot and kill the heroes who were loyal to the imperial court, which had the intention of rebellion. The slightly euphemistic wording said that Yang Su used power for personal gain, bullied the king, and was arrogant.
A number of imperial historians jointly impeached one person, which was the first time that this situation occurred in the imperial history platform since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty after the formulation of the imperial program with three provinces and six ministries, and once it appeared, it immediately caused a violent shock of the court situation. Because since Gao Ying was demoted to a commoner, Yang Su is already the first person in the court today, and if Yang Su falls, the group of officials who are attached to Yang Su will inevitably start to be unlucky.
In principle, entering the Imperial History Observatory is to supervise hundreds of officials for the Son of Heaven, and he cannot be afraid of offending people, so the supervision of the Imperial History is to select young officials with a little prestige but shallow qualifications, in order to use their youthful momentum to suppress the powerful Zaifu for the Son of Heaven. But no matter how young you are, there is a limit, basically they are all thirty or forty years old, and they must have at least five or six years of officialdom to be eligible.
In a few days, Yang Su seems to have become the target of public criticism, and by tomorrow, there will be more impeachments of Yang Su.
The Imperial Historian can influence the direction of the impeachment of the Imperial Historians to a certain extent, but he has no right to interfere with or prevent their impeachment, Su Wei does not want to offend Yang Su, but he also can't prevent the following Imperial Historian from being instructed by others to impeach Yang Su, not to mention that he has a bad reputation in the Great Sui officialdom and Qing Discussion, and he can't control the Imperial History below.
Su Wei sighed deeply with a look of emotion.
However, Su Wei was wrong, no one in the side hall impeached Yang Su at this time, or it was not the turn of this matter.
How could Yang Su not be arranged, so under the guidance and arrangement of Yang Su and his minions, after the matter of Nanping County in the Minshu region was discussed, he began to discuss and finalize the matters related to the funeral of the queen who died of illness.
However, Yang Jian listened to the courtiers' reports on the queen's future preparations, but he was not delirious.
