Chapter 58: Committing a Taboo
Wen Xiang's mind turned rapidly, and in the Heart Cultivation Hall the day before yesterday, the words and deeds of Cao Yuying, Xu Gengshen, and Guo Songtao flashed in their minds one by one.
"After King Xuan proposed 'Xinjiang as a province'," Wen Xiang said in a deep voice, "Guo Yunxian was the first to speak, and it was somewhat ...... suspicion of 'overstepping', so it should have not been arranged in advance, otherwise it would ......."
Otherwise, they should speak in the order of Cao, Xu, and Guo?
Bao Jun snorted and said, "This is not possible! Hehe, maybe only in this way is it like 'no prior arrangement', otherwise, even if Guo Yunxian is excited, he is not a young man who has just entered the eunuch journey, why is he so uncontrollable? β
If the proposal of "establishing a province in Xinjiang" has been the wish of Guo for many years, even if he has been in the sea for a long time, it is still possible that he will "lose his breath" and speak first. Besides, there is naturally the advantage of being the first to take the lead, and the momentum is the first to overwhelm the potential opponents. What's more, the first person to "second" the proposal, and the one who "seconded" it later, have a different status in the minds of the proponents.
Wen Xiang was still groaning, and King Gong said: "I also think that the military plane 'called' the day before yesterday, and the words and deeds of Zhuoru, Uncle Xing, and Yunxian were not arranged in advance by Chaonei North Street - I mean, before this, Cao, Xu, and Guo did not know that Chaonei North Street had plans to 'establish a province in Xinjiang'?" If so, do they already have their own rules about this matter? β
"What the sixth master said is reasonable," Wen Xiang nodded, "Cao, Xu, and Guo, I'm afraid it's before that." I already know it. Especially Uncle Xu Xing. When he opened his mouth, he recited Gaozong's hadith back thenβGaozong's words. In fact, it is considered to be remote, if it is not 'in the heart'......"
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "It's not easy to be word-for-word." β
Bao Jun frowned: "That is to say, whether there is 'prior arrangement' or not, the matter of 'Xinjiang as a province', among several ministers of military aircraft, the remaining three." The north streets of the inner have all been greeted in advance, and they have only bypassed the sixth master and Bochuan, but why is this? β
He said "but why" in his mouth, but he already knew the answer in his heart.
Wen Xiang's reaction was not slower than his.
The atmosphere in the "small house" suddenly became heavy.
King Gong laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "So, if I don't know each other again, not only will I be bored. It will also involve friends, and I just said 'this is the third' - this is also what it says! β
Bao Jun said angrily: "Sixth master. I'll advance and retreat with you! Anyway, after being an official for all these years, I have some savings, so I won't drink the northwest wind! Bochuan ......"
Before he finished speaking, he called King Gong to interrupt: "What nonsense are you talking about!" β
After a pause, he said word by word: "I will say one word from the bottom of my heart - the country can do without me, but it can't do without you two!" β
"Sixth Master!"
"Sixth Master!"
King Gong waved his hand and said, "You let me finish my words." β
Bao Jun and Wen Xiang's expressions, although they were still excited, were silent.
King Gong raised his head slightly, looked at the more and more snowflakes in the air outside the glass window, and said slowly: "'The country can do without me', this is not an angry word, it is my heartfelt words." I am a person who has an idea, not a person who does things, and in the future, I will take an idea - the north street in the inner direction, plus the 'west', it is enough, and I am not stronger than the two of them. So, 'the country can do without me'. β
After a pause, he said: "You two are in charge, when it comes to doing things, Pei Yu and Bochuan, you are really irreplaceable - I am not in office, and you are indispensable in the north street of Chaonei!" β
"There is one thing, I and the North Street of the Inner Sea, in fact, are exactly the same, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and must not be called the hands of the west! Don't think that the north street in the inner lane is the same thing as the 'west' - if you really look at it this way, you would underestimate Guan Yixuan! He used Pei Yu just to tie the pockets of the Internal Affairs Office - not to give the hand of the 'western' to come in! This messenger, to tell the truth, except for Pei Yu, there is really no second person who does it well. Therefore, no matter how much trouble he and Pei Yu have, it is still a little Pei Xin! β
Bao Jun's brows were furrowed, but there was a look of surprise on his face.
"As for Bochuan," said King Gong, "I dare to say that he values Bochuan as much as Cao, Xu, and Guo in governing the country!" β
Wen Xiang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the light in his eyes flashed.
"Also, I have also thought it through: my identity, the son of Xuanzong and the hereditary prince, is not suitable to stay in the cardinal mansion anymore."
Wen Xiang and Bao Jun were both slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and Wen Xiang asked, "Sixth Master, how do you say this?" β
"Some words come out......," King Gong said calmly, "It's about taboo, but we are all friends who know our hearts and lives, and this is a place where God knows and the earth knows, so I will dig out my heart with you again!" β
Wen Xiang and Bao Jun's ears were pricked up.
"This dynasty was founded with eight banners," said King Gong, "at the beginning of the kingdom, the kings of Baylor stood side by side, and the imperial power was ...... It's actually limited. In the Shunzhi Dynasty, it was a fact that Prince Lao Rui monopolized power and oppressed the ancestors, but on the other hand, he also began to centralize power in the center. Prince Lao Rui died, chased the lord and destroyed the tomb, and deposed the jade, but the situation he created by his hand was maintained, and he was the master, hehe, it was also ...... A blessing in disguise. β
These few words are thrilling, and sure enough...... Commit taboos!
However, King Gong's analysis of Shizu's "blessing in disguise" is very profound, which has never been seen before, and Wenxiang and Baojun can't help but admire it.
However, what does this have to do with "my identity, the son of Xuanzong, the hereditary prince, is not suitable to stay in the cardinal mansion anymore"?
"The Kangxi Dynasty cut the domain," King Gong said, "In fact, it is not only the king with a different surname, but also ...... A suzejong other than the imperial lineage. In the hands of the Holy Ancestor, the imperial power was finally consolidated. β
Hearing this, Wen Xiang and Bao Jun were all moved in their hearts, and they vaguely guessed what King Gong meant.
"In the last years of Kangxi, the Holy Ancestor was tired and diligent, and the Nine Kings seized the heir. After Sejong ascended the throne, not only outside the imperial line, but also within the imperial lineage, the emperor generally vigorously suppressed, and Prince Lao Yixian was the last king who really held the power of affairs, and the situation was unique, and he and Sejong's monarchs and ministers had an encounter, which will never happen in the future. β
"Prince Yixian," King Gong continued, "King Zong is not involved in the center, even if this rule is formalized, after Yongzheng, the four dynasties of Qian, Jia, Dao, and Xian, are all strictly followed. β
Wen Xiang and Bao Jun's expressions became more and more dignified.
King Gong was silent for a moment, smiled, and finally said the most important words: "It is said that the 'two palace curtains' are not in line with the ancestral system - this is not right, the 'two palaces are not in line with the ancestral system', and the real 'not in line with the ancestral system' is the 'king of politics' at the beginning!" β
