111. Unfazed
When the high-ranking officials of the court saw this scene, they knew in their hearts that what Wu Wei said, nine times out of ten, it happened, I am afraid that the gold has been found again, and there must be an unknown secret hidden in it, so His Majesty tried his best not to let this matter spread out, so Yang Bo, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Yang Bocai, the head of the household, and His Majesty came to such a double reed play at this court!
But I'm afraid that Wu Wei will not be able to mix it up in the future, who let him know what he shouldn't know, and say it in public like this, this is the biggest suspicion, this is a slap in the face of His Majesty, but it's none of their business, hang high, how can they worry about Wu Wei?
Besides, this Wu Wei came to such a show with ulterior motives, there is definitely someone behind this who is making trouble, who knows the trick behind this?
At this time, Wu Wei never thought that the majesty in front of him was so powerful, so a few words, he prevaricated the matter of Taicang, he originally thought that with the respect of his own minister's right servant, he went into battle with the red fight, and suddenly threw this matter to hit His Majesty in front of him by surprise, in this way, the ministers will definitely be boiling, according to His Majesty's practice in the past two months, he will inevitably issue an order to investigate thoroughly, in this way, his goal has been achieved, but the plan is just a plan after all, and he will sit down all of a sudden.
The scene fell silent for a moment. And Zheng Wen wanted to say something to break this situation, he couldn't let these courtiers continue to think nonsense along the opening opened by Wu Wei, otherwise he didn't know what would happen?
At this time, Cai Wei, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly came out and played: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" The voice was loud and penetrating, and it immediately attracted the attention of the courtiers.
And Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at Cai Wei who was out of the queue a little strangely, he had never heard that he had a book to play, and then glanced at His Majesty who was standing on a high place, but he smiled knowingly.
Zheng Wen stood on a high place, looked at Cai Wei who suddenly came out of the ranks, and secretly said in his heart that this person was good, so he smiled and said loudly: "What is the matter with Cai Qing?" Say. She nodded at him.
And Cai Wei saw it, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he said loudly without hurry: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Rites will be Enke next year, and it will be a draft, these are all major events, but the Ministry of Household is slow to allocate silver, and the ministers are waiting in the Ministry of Rites, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the minister implores His Majesty to urge the Ministry of Household to allocate silver as soon as possible, so as not to make it difficult for the Ministry of Rites." Cai Wei said seriously.
Zheng Wen listened, but he laughed out loud, laughed for a while, and then said with a smile: "How can Cai Qing say this, the household department is indeed eventful these days, there are always inconsiderate places, and the two servants of the household department are not there, you ministers still have to understand the difficulties of the household department, Yang Qing, what do you say?" ”
Yang Bo, the head of the household department, is also a smart person, as soon as he heard Zheng Wen's words, he immediately came out of the ranks, and then said: "Indeed, as Your Majesty said, our household department is indeed busy these days, and you are not in the Ministry of Rites, and you have not done anything practical all day long?" As soon as Yang Bo opened his mouth, he scolded the Ministry of Rites.
Everyone's thoughts moved to Yang Bo and Cai Wei, and it was silver money, Enke, the draft, and the Ministry of Rites, all of which were related to the future interests of the ministers, of course, more important than the illusory Taicang matter, Zheng Wen also stopped talking with interest, and turned around and sat back on the chair.
And Cai Wei listened, but he retorted without hurry: "Lord Shangshu's words are bad, how can you call it not doing practical things, although our Ministry of Rites is a retreat department, but the Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments of the court, and Lord Shangshu Qian of the Ministry of Rites is a cabinet minister, and the etiquette education of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the great cadres, which can be said to be a merit for a thousand years, unlike your household department in the past two months, Lord Shangshu still manages your household department, and our Ministry of Rites will not bother you to worry about it." ”
When Yang Bo heard this, his face suddenly flushed a little, what Cai Wei said was really good, but as a court boss and a senior official, how could he be slapped in the face by Cai Wei, a subordinate official, in public, this is a loss of face, just wanted to open his mouth to refute it, scolding him, and letting this post-graduate also see this officialdom, but it is not enough to just say it so powerfully, I don't know how thick the sky is!
However, Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said to Yang Bo when he came out of the ranks: "Old Yang, you and I are both officials in the same dynasty, what Ministry of Rites, what Ministry of Households, you and I are all serving the court, serving the great cadres, and serving Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he also bowed to Zheng Wen at the height.
Then he smiled and said: "Lao Yang, I'm a lot older, and I can't do it for a few years, although this Cai Shilang has been stumbling for many years, but after all, he is still young, and he has just entered this court, how can he say that you are in the household, I simply don't know what to say, I will make amends to you on his behalf, you must not be like him." Qian Chang said a little bit of relying on the old and selling the old, and was about to bend down and salute Yang Bo as he spoke.
When Yang Bo saw it, he was immediately angry, this Qian Chang was a lot older, he went into battle in person, he said good things, and he wanted to bow down and be humble, relying on the old and selling the old, on the surface it was and the mud, but secretly it was a bias, so that this Cai Wei could come to the forefront, so that the courtiers could also get to know the new right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, although he didn't step on his face and face up, but he still let himself lose face, but who let himself just take up the post of the head of the household, and his qualifications are not as good as this Qian Chang.
Yang Bo was blunt to accept this round, but he said with a somewhat unhappy face: "There is no need to be like this, this Cai Shilang is young and promising, straightforward and fast-talking, and he is also a pillar of the court!" Yang Bo said a little against his will, but his heart was as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly.
Cai Wei saw this scene, but he didn't step forward to tease him, and said a word of self-humility, after all, he still has eyes, and his appearance today is not bad, so he is interested.
Zheng Wen, who was sitting on the imperial chair, saw this scene, and also smiled, and began to say: "In this case, Yang Qing, your household department will allocate silver to the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible, let the Ministry of Rites handle it first, it will be the New Year soon, and the yuan will be changed, next year's matter is still very important, you two departments must work together, don't slack off, I also hope that next year's year of the yuan reform will have a new atmosphere!" ”
When Qian Chang and Yang Bo heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they didn't have time to make their own little calculations, so they replied solemnly: "No, I don't dare to live up to Your Majesty's expectations." There was an indescribable seriousness in his tone.
Seeing this, Zheng Wen nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Is there anything else going on with Zhongqing?" ”
There was silence.
When Huang An saw it, he immediately understood, so he shouted loudly: "Retreat!" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" As soon as the words fell, the courtiers below shouted in unison and saluted Zheng Wenqi.
When Zheng Wen saw it, he didn't answer, he got up straight, stepped out of the imperial steps, walked down step by step, and walked out of the main hall surrounded by all the warriors.
Today's court meeting, it seems to be calm, but there are thousands of waves underneath, not to mention the one that came out of the imperial history, Wu Wei, the right attendant of the ministry, in front of the ministers, blatantly shook out, Taicang lost a million gold, so that the courtiers feel that this is the prelude to the storm again!
……
When Zheng Wen returned to the imperial study, he received a report from Jinyiwei that six of the nine imperial historians who were dragged out of the cane were killed on the spot, leaving only Zhang Jian, Yu Fang, and Zhuo Fan, but they were all bruised, and they couldn't get out of bed for three months.
But what Zheng Wen didn't expect was that the six people who were killed won the title of "Six Gentlemen" in Shilin, but this was also the beginning of the suffering of these six people and six families.
And the Tang Palace.
Tang King Zheng Jiao was sitting on a chair, facing the big eunuch Xiang Hua who was standing on the side and asked, "Big companion, how is today's court meeting?" ”
Although Xiang Hua is a eunuch, he is Zheng Jiao's extremely trustworthy person, controlling Zheng Jiao's extremely private affairs, he doesn't look like a eunuch at a glance, burly, in his forties, but like a warrior in the army, after being given to Zheng Jiao by Zheng Wen's cheap father, he has been serving as the head of Zheng Jiao's mansion.
He was the only eunuch of Zheng Wen's father, Emperor Xinzhong, but he was later put into Zheng Jiao's mansion by Huang An.
In fact, he didn't really think much of Zheng Jiao in his heart, so he only did things according to the instructions of the first emperor over the years. Especially after the death of the first emperor, it was not the lord in front of him who ascended the throne, but the inconspicuous Nine Emperor Prince Xiao Wang Zheng Wen, in his heart, this Zheng Jiao has such a lot of good cards in his hand, but he is playing worse and worse, but seeing that the old opponent is getting better and better, first he became the personal companion of the new emperor, and then he was the overseer of Dongchang, with a high position, this is simply a winner in life, these are what he desires, and he can't sit still when he sees him, so he took the initiative to participate in Zheng Jiao's affairs after repeated invitations.
But Zheng Jiao sees everything in Xianghua's eyes, as a royal person, it is a means to grind people's hearts since childhood, how can he not see the thoughts in Xianghua's heart, but some of the resources in Xianghua's hands are what he needs now, otherwise how could he be with the people in front of him.
Xiang Hua listened to Zheng Jiao's words, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lord, these court meetings, we have miscalculated, Wu Shilang is considered to be abolished, the matter of Taicang was thrown out in the court, and the new emperor covered up the past in a few words." ”
"Moreover, the old slave has already received news from the palace that the gold was found by Yang Bo, the secretary of Dali Temple, as early as the night before yesterday."
Zheng Jiao listened, but his face was very bad.
Xiang Hua saw it, and then said: "Lord Wang, there is even worse news, this bad person is not sincerely cooperating with Lord Wang, Jinyiwei also found thousands of armor in Taicang, obviously they have other purposes." ”
When Zheng Jiao heard this, his face turned blue all of a sudden, his right hand was clenched tightly, and he slammed it on the table for a long time before he spoke: "Gu knows, what else?" Surely there must be more than that, right? ”
