Chapter 272: Party Struggle in the Imperial Court
Dayan's national strength is weak, and the palace naturally cannot be compared with the other three kingdoms. Not to mention the magnificence of the Chu Palace, even the neighboring Jin Kingdom is far inferior.
The main hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhihe Hall, is a traditional civil engineering style in Middle-earth. This is a huge building with a heavy eaves and nine ridges that stands majestically, with staggered bucket arches and yellow tiles covering the roof. The building is five steps in front of one, a total of nine dragon stone pillars, each dragon is different, the posture is different, or flying, or soaring clouds, or out of the water, or swimming in the water, the disk jumps up, soars the clouds and drives the fog, lifelike.
Inside the main hall, five acres square, the ground is paved with a shiny floor of granite polished unique to the north, and the shadows of people can be clearly reflected on the beautiful patterns. The interior is not gorgeous, only a few spirit beasts are placed on the left and right next to a few steps under the throne, a pair of cranes and dragons. In addition, there are more than a dozen golden copper incense burners, which are simple and heavy, and look like some years old.
The most striking thing is that facing south, on the steps, a long golden silk nanmu long case is full of neat and neat pieces, and behind the long case is a throne made of pure gold, shining in the slightly dim hall.
At this moment, the fair-faced Yan Emperor Cao Ziwen was sitting on it, full of energy, fair and handsome, with a carefully groomed octagonal mustache on his upper lip, making him look mature and stable. Yan Ren is still black, and the main color of the dragon robe on his body is also black, but nine hideous and terrifying dragons are embroidered with yellow gold thread, which looks even more solemn and majestic.
At this moment, his face was pale, and his already gloomy eyes were even more gloomy.
"Hmph, Qin Wang, a little-known mountain boy actually did such a big thing, how did the Golden Mountain, the envoy of the Sanzhou Festival, be! The entire army of 8,000 did not take just two county seats! He slapped the fold in his hand and said coldly.
That recital was played by the Golden Mountain from Ulzhou, and it greatly exaggerated how Qin Forget rebelled and stood on his own; how to fight against the imperial army; how not to take the court in mind; how arrogantly and arrogantly demanded territory from the imperial court; how to attack the Xinzhou Navy, control the Yellow River, and claim official positions; How to collude with the Khitans, communicate with foreign countries, and so on.
What arrived in Youzhou City with the twists and turns was the overwhelming rumors that Qin forgot his ancestors and became a traitor.
A group of ministers below have also heard about this bold but powerful kid in the past few days, but everyone can't figure out where this guy is coming from for a while, and they don't know if this kid is Cao's person. If you want to say that Qin Forget is completely a grassroots and relies on himself to achieve today's achievements, they won't believe it if they kill these old foxes.
Whether Qin Forget was standing behind Cao or not, no one knew
。 The wind direction is unknown and the muddy waters are not clear, these old and mature guys will naturally not jump out impatiently and offend people casually. The court was strangely quiet for a while, just for a kid who these people don't usually look at.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has found out that what this son did is no different from rebellion, and his wings are growing, and he colludes with foreign clans, Wechen thinks that the court should kill him, otherwise it will be a big trouble for my Dayan in the future." The powerful right prime minister Wen Man walked to the middle of the hall and bent down to play.
Others are jealous of Prince Zhong, Cao, but Wenman doesn't care. He and Li Chengan didn't even pay attention to Emperor Cao Ziwen, so naturally they wouldn't take care of Prince Zhong, who had no real power.
Wenman is the backer of the Golden Mountain and one of the biggest beneficiaries of the opening of the Tea Horse Market. Last night, when the Ulzhou recital was delivered to Cao Ziwen, he also received a letter from Huang Jinshan. Only then did he know that the tea and horse market had gone through so many twists and turns, and he was shocked and angry at the moment. It was surprising that a teenager would do such a big thing, and completely control the two counties of the Yellow River and Chicheng in a short period of time. The anger is that Jinshan is so useless, he was forced into a corner by a mountain boy, and he dared to hide it from him.
Wen Man's words were like a guiding light, at least his henchmen knew what to do. His words fell, and immediately more than a dozen important ministers came out to speak, without exception, Qin Wang's evil was full of evil, not killing is not enough to anger the people, and not killing is not enough to revitalize the country.
These people's words are talking about Cao Qing's heart, and Emperor Yan Wen, who has just ascended the throne for only four years, certainly can't tolerate others challenging his authority, let alone being just an unknown kid. At this moment, the proposal that Cao told him to use Qin Forget to restrain the Golden Mountain had long been forgotten by him.
He opened his mouth to say something.
"Your Majesty Weichen has a different intention!" A Qingyue voice sounded at the right time, interrupting him.
Cao Ziwen looked at it, and it was not surprising that it was Li Chengan, the left minister.
In fact, when Wen Man was speaking, Zuo Xiang Li Chengan was full of surprise in his heart, that Qin Wu was not Wen Man's person. Yes, since Huang Jinshan is his person, there is no need to arrange another person to fight against Huang Jinshan, then he must be Cao's person. It's just that Cao didn't come today, and it seems that this loyal prince is also planning to abandon this subordinate.
However, these do not prevent Li Chengan from pulling Wen Man's hind legs, the two have struggled all their lives, and they have developed instincts, as long as Wen Man proposes, Li Chengan will refute it, correspondingly, as long as Li Chengan agrees, Wen Man is against it. Both of them know that although the two are prime ministers, they have never been for the country
The family has thought about everything, and what they think about is just for the benefit of their own family.
Because of the two people, the Great Yan Imperial Court has also formed two major factions, namely the left faction of the left minister Li Chengan and the right faction of the right minister Wenman, these two groups of people attack each other and elbow each other, so serious that they don't talk about the national righteousness at all, and the struggle between the two parties has even formed an instinct, which will make the entire Great Yan Dynasty a miasma.
Li Chengan also had a trace of curiosity about Qin Wang, no matter who was standing behind this young man, this was definitely a talent, a strong talent. The key is that this person is still opposed to Wen Man, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so why not help him and make a good fate? The worst result is that it is good to add a little disgust to Wenman.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Wen Xiang's proposal is inappropriate. A tea and horse market is about to open, and at this time, swords and soldiers are protruding in Chicheng and other places, which will inevitably make all countries in the world dissatisfied, and even more so that the world's businessmen dare not come with confidence. Second, Qin Wang's strength is not weak, the most important thing is that he still firmly grasps the waterway of the Yellow River, and my Great Yan Shui Master is once lost, and it is definitely not easy to completely sweep away Qin Wang. Third, my Dayan urgently needs to recuperate, and I really can't afford to put it off. Weichen thinks that it is appropriate to be appeased by a good student. We don't know much about the people in Yunzhou, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Now that he has made up his mind, Li Chengan said loudly.
Li Cheng'an's words, the first half of which is also fair, and the pros and cons are clearly analyzed, but the second half is very heartbreaking, vaguely reminding Emperor Yanwen Cao Ziwen that Jinshan is not a good bird, and he may not be very loyal to the court.
Li Chengan's words naturally also had a large number of his minions agree, and they came out of the class to agree with the second.
Cao Ziwen suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and couldn't help but ponder Li Chengan's words. That Golden Mountain rules the three states of the Northland, and his authority is not insignificant, and if he is given full responsibility for the tea and horse market, he will naturally be the biggest beneficiary. If the three states develop rapidly in a short period of time, it is indeed worth worrying.
At this moment, he remembered Cao's words again.
As for that Qin Wang, maybe it's worth cultivating. It's just that with his current reputation, it is also very difficult for the imperial court to support him.
"Qin forgot to support the army and respect himself, and if he committed the following crimes, his intention to rebel is clearly revealed, could it be that the left minister ignores my Dayan Kingdom, and he must protect him?" Seeing Li Chengan come out against him, Wen Man was furious, and a big hat was directly put on Li Chengan.
According to the report of Huang Jinshan, there was indeed no one behind that Qin Wang, he originally thought that it would be easy to kill a classless grass people, but how could he think that Li Chengan would still come out to give him eye medicine, and he would not be angry?
