0191: Inner Dynasty Meeting
General's Palace.
"What?! Then Li Yi turned out to be Li Ling's descendant?! When He Jin heard He Miao's words, he was immediately shocked.
"Not bad! Big brother! Now that Li Yi plans to exchange his military exploits for the opportunity to rehabilitate Li Ling, my brother thinks that we can take advantage of this opportunity, even if we can't let Li Yi go to prison, we can drive him out of the court! He Miao said in a deep voice.
"What do you think? I think those eunuchs think, right?! He Jin glanced at He Miao when he heard this, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"Big brother! The younger brother comes and goes with the eunuchs, and it is also for you, the eldest brother! Otherwise, with our power in the court, once we defeat the eunuchs, why should we fight with those scholars?! Or do you think those scholars and doctors will willingly give the power to the eldest brother?! He Miao said with a serious expression when he heard this, without the slightest fear between his words.
"This ......" He Jin suddenly showed a hesitant look on his face when he heard this, because he knew that He Miao was right! If there were no eunuchs, would he, a general who relied on nepotism and was a butcher, really be able to sit firmly? Even if you sit firmly, will you still have rights?
If it were before becoming a general, He Jin would naturally not consider this, because with his background, being able to become a general is already a matter of glory to the ancestors, right? He Jin has no concept at all in his heart!
But now, everything is obviously different, and after staying in the court for so many years, He Jin has clearly realized the benefits that power has brought to him. And this benefit made him extremely fascinated, how could he let it go? Otherwise, why would he be hostile to Li Yi? Isn't it just that I am worried that Li Yi's appearance will make the scholars and doctors use Li Yi as their substitute?
He Jin knows very well that he is not as good as Li Yi in terms of literary talent, martial arts, fame, and achievements. In addition, Li Yi is now very favored by Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, which He Jin has never received.
Seeing He Jin's hesitant expression, He Miao suddenly sneered in his heart, obviously very disdainful of He Jin's hesitant character.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the two brothers and one sister of the He family is also quite interesting, because between He Jin, He Miao and He Xianglan, none of them were born to the same father and mother.
He Jin's father is He Zhen, the Marquis of Wuyang, whose biological mother died early, and his father remarried the current Wuyang Jun and gave birth to the current queen He Xianglan. And what about He Miao? is actually the son of the Zhu family, whose real name is Zhu Miao, and He Xianglan are half-brothers and sisters. To put it simply, He Jin is the half-brother and sister of the current queen, and He Miao is the half-brother and sister of the current queen, and He Jin and He Miao ...... In fact, there is no blood relationship with a single penny.
After He Zhen's death, although He Jin raised the family like a big family, the relationship between He Miao and He Jin was never like that of brothers. On the contrary, He Miao has always been against He Jin many times. Perhaps, it was because He Miao never regarded He Jin as his family from beginning to end, and was even a little hostile to him, right?
"Big brother, in fact, you don't have to worry about so much! According to the information obtained by his younger brother, after Li Yi left the imperial city, he went to the mansions of Huangfu Song and Sangong successively, and that Huangfu Song also went to Zhu Jun's mansion after visiting Deng Taiwei. What they go there doesn't matter, it's important to ...... Li Yi and their relationship! He Miao saw that He Jin didn't speak for a long time, and said again.
"What?!" When He Jin heard this, he immediately stood up in shock, he looked at He Miao with a fierce look, but obviously he was not going for He Miao. "Really?! Then Li Yi really visited Sangong one after another?! He Jin asked angrily.
"How can my brother lie to you?" He Miao sneered when he heard this, "It's not just a visit, they went to visit Taiwei Deng, and then Taiwei Deng took Li Yi to visit Zhang Sikong, and Huangfu Song left to find Zhu Jun." About a quarter of an hour later, Deng Taiwei and Zhang Sikong took Li Yi to visit Yuan Situ ......"
"This ......" He Jin muttered when he heard this, and at the same time sat down on the stool, he seemed to see the result he least wanted to see. The reason why He Jin was jealous of Li Yi was because of Li Yi's talent, teacher, reputation, and military exploits, and he added Li Yi's background just now.
All of this is what He Jin does not have, and it is also what the scholars and doctors value the most! Therefore, He Jin was afraid of Li Yi, for fear that his appearance would rob him of his status and rights. And now, on the first day of Li Yi's entry into Beijing, he has already been linked to Sangong, what does this mean? Was Li Yi appreciated by the Three Princes? Of course not! It represents the attitude of the three princes!
Didn't Yuan Kui and the others know what Li Yi represented when he entered their mansion? Do they think that such things will not be seen? How can it be?! Obviously, Yuan Kui and the others really wanted to help or get acquainted with Li Yi, but most of the reasons were not to put pressure on He Jin? You must know that since Li Yi appeared, although He Jin still maintained a neutral attitude, he never asked more about He Miao's contact with Zhang Rang and others.
Seeing He Jin's expression, He Miao suddenly said, "Big brother, are you still fantasizing that those scholars and doctors will accept us?!" We are nothing but untouchables in their hearts! A pariah who relies on Ah Mei to ascend to the top! No matter how much we show affection, how can they look up to us?! He Miao's tone became heavier and heavier, and by the end, there seemed to be something that was almost roaring.
"I ...... I ......" He Jin looked at He Miao's somewhat hideous expression in front of him, and couldn't say a word for a while.
"Big brother...... Remember what you said to us? You said that you would always take care of us, be our heaven, and let us live a happy and prosperous life. When He Miao said this, her tone finally became softer, and her eyes looking at He Jin were full of complexity.
Does he hate He Jin? I don't hate, because He Jin is really good to him. Do you hate He Zhen or his biological mother? Not very much. Because if you really want to say hate, maybe you can only hate your biological father who died early, right? But He Miao still couldn't get intimate with He Jin, because he always felt that there was an unbreakable barrier between him and He Jin.
"Shuda......" He Jin muttered, watching He Miao's expression become extremely complicated.
"Big brother! Now Sangong is obviously already preparing to praise Li Yi, in that case, why do we have to sit still?! Zhang Changshou has already said it, as long as the eldest brother nods! He asked his adopted son, Imperial Doctor Zhang, to marry Yufang! At the same time, we fully support the big brother against those scholars who look down on us! He Miao said with a serious expression.
"This ......" He Jin was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting Zhang Rang to come directly.
Huangfu Song said yes, and the next day, Liu Hong held a court meeting. However, it is not the usual outer dynasty, but the middle dynasty or the inner dynasty.
There are two kinds of court meetings in the Han Dynasty, one is the outer court, which is the court meeting held in the court hall of the central government office or the palace of the three dukes, this kind of court meeting is generally presided over by the officials of the central government office or the three dukes, and basically some trivial matters will be dealt with in the foreign court. Occasionally, in some special circumstances, the emperor would visit or assign his cronies to listen to them.
However, since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the emperors of all dynasties have absorbed the reasons for the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, and strictly guarded against meritorious heroes and relatives, and the foreign dynasty presided over by the three dukes and others has basically disappeared, and has become the current foreign dynasty presided over by the emperor himself, and the location is basically in the province, that is, in the imperial city.
The other is China and North Korea, which, unlike the Outer Dynasties, still exists today. Different from the foreign dynasties, the scholars and doctors who were able to participate in the Chinese dynasty were all important ministers of the court or close associates of the emperor, such as the three dukes, the generals, the scholars, the servants, and the regular servants.
The things discussed by China and the DPRK are basically major events of the imperial court, and even many things will be directly decided and promulgated in the DPRK, and many scholars and doctors will not be convened to discuss at all.
In the court, Yuan Kui and other three dukes, generals He Jin, Zhang Rang and other permanent attendants sat in their positions, and these people were all regular people in China and North Korea. But today, in addition to them, there are three more people: Li Yi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Speaking of which, when they first saw the three of them, Zhang Rang and He Jin were quite surprised, but then they glanced at each other, although they didn't speak, but from each other's eyes, they seemed to have returned some kind of information.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before the official convening of the court meeting, I have something to say. Just yesterday, when I summoned Zi Kang, Zi Kang explained to me the reason why Lu Zhi besieged Guangzong City and his merits in this battle. I thought about it again yesterday and felt that what Zikang said was very true, so I decided to pardon Lu Zhi and reinstate the official! Speaking of this, Liu Hong glanced around at everyone and said again, "But at this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been pacified, and Lu Zhi naturally can't continue to serve as a Zhonglang general, so he will still serve as Shangshu." β
's words suddenly focused everyone's attention on Li Yi. Including He Jin, Zhang Rang and others, they had long guessed that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, Lu Zhi was likely to be reinstated. After all, Lu Zhi was dismissed, and many scholars and doctors disagreed, but at that time, it was true that only Lu Zhi's army had failed to break through Guangzong for a long time, and Zhang Rang added fuel to the fire, and finally let this order be carried out.
It's just that they thought that this matter should be discussed first, but Liu Hong actually made a decision directly? If this has nothing to do with Li Yi, He Jin and the others obviously can't believe it.
And even Yuan Kui and the others looked at Li Yi with a strange gaze. "Maybe we still underestimate His Majesty's favor for Zikang? Yuan Kui and the others thought secretly in their hearts. β
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Liu Hong continued, "Although the Yellow Turban thieves have been pacified, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have suffered great damage, so I decided to give amnesty to the world, and at the same time change the Yuan Zhongping, to tell the people of the world that the war has passed!" β
"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing this, everyone said respectfully.
Naturally, no one will object to this. In fact, over the years, I don't know how many times this kind of thing has been carried out. Basically, as long as there is any catastrophe, the imperial court will grant amnesty to the world. And what if amnesty doesn't work? Then change the yuan! Because whether it is amnesty or reform, there is a meaning of starting over. To put it simply, it is to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future.
However, although everyone had known for a long time that Liu Hong would give amnesty to the world, but in connection with the previous incident, it was another look at Li Yi's side. The amnesty of the world is not to blame in the past, but there are three kinds of criminals who are not included in the amnesty, such as rebellion, bullying the king, or resisting the imperial power. To put it bluntly, even the crimes of confronting the emperor are not within the scope of the pardon.
And Lu Zhi's crime seems to be a bully. It is said that it is within the scope of forgiveness, but it also makes sense. In fact, Yuan Kui and others had already thought about how to use the amnesty world to get Lu Zhi out, but now? Liu Hong pardoned Lu Zhi, and the official was reinstated, and then he gave amnesty to the world......
If Liu Hong didn't want to express anything through these two things, Yuan Kui, Zhang Rang and others would have been in the court for so many years.
"Is it so obvious?" Li Yi looked at Liu Hong a little speechlessly. He naturally understood that Liu Hong wanted to let everyone know his favor and trust in Li Yi, and at the same time, let Li Yi use this to show favor to Lu Zhi. What is the position of Lu Zhiguan's reinstatement? Chancery! Be able to participate in the Shangshu of the Inner Dynasty! In addition, Lu Zhi already appreciated Li Yi very much......
Subsequently, Liu Hong finally did not continue to sing a one-man show, because the next issue that Liu Hong threw out was a reward for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, this kind of thing, Liu Hong obviously could not make a decision directly.
However, although it was discussed with everyone, it didn't take too long, because this matter had already been discussed by everyone after Huangfu Song sent the war report to Luoyang. Now, it's not so much a matter of deliberation as of finalizing the outcome.
Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot, led the Jizhou pastor, Jin Feng was Huailihou, and there were a total of 8,000 households.
Zhu Jun, the general of the right chariot cavalry, led the Guanglu doctor, added 5,000 households to the food yi, changed the title of Qiantang Marquis, and added a special position.
The collar is a trace of concurrently, and this addition of special advancement, special advancement is actually an official name, but it is not an official name, more like an honor. To put it simply, it means second only to the Three Princes, for example, when the court meeting, the position is second only to the Three Princes and others.
Subsequently, the new Jizhou Pastor Fu Song implored Liu Hong to exempt Jizhou from the land rent for one year, but Liu Hong did not refuse. After all, everyone knows that Jizhou is the most powerful area of the Yellow Turbans and the most seriously damaged, even if Huangfu Song doesn't mention it, Liu Hong plans to give them rent free.
"Then ...... next" Liu Hong glanced around at everyone again, and finally his eyes fell on Li Yi's body.
"Are you going to start?" Seeing this, everyone thought to themselves.
Sure enough, Liu Hong looked at Li Yi and said, "Yesterday, Zikang told me a very shocking news, that is, Zikang's ancestor was Li Ling, a famous general during the former Emperor Xiaowu period!" is the descendant of the flying general Li Guang! After speaking, Liu Hong looked around at the crowd, as if he wanted to see some reaction from them.
And everyone was also very considerate and looked at Li Yi with a shocked expression, so what does the picture say? At least Li Yi inexplicably felt, "It seems that if you want to sit here, actor-level acting skills are a must......"
Li Yi was thinking nonsense here, and Spirit Emperor Liu Hong over there nodded at everyone's performance, as if he was very satisfied with their shocked expressions. Well...... I have to say that Yuan Kui and others really know Liu Hong's mind very well. At least Li Yi didn't understand why Liu Hong was satisfied with this matter, "Could it be that the dignified emperor would also have such a naΓ―ve mentality?" Li Yi thought strangely.
Well...... It seems that Li Yi was deceived by Liu Hong's performance yesterday, making him directly forget how many strange things Liu Hong did in history.
Fortunately, Liu Hong did not let any embarrassing atmosphere appear in the court, but immediately looked at Li Yi and smiled, "Zikang, let's talk about the reason why you want to rehabilitate your ancestors~"
"No!" When Li Yi heard this, he immediately looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "According to the testament handed down by the ancestors of this family, the reason why the ancestors surrendered to the Hu people in the past was to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the actions of the Qing Hu people. As you know, the habits of the Hu people are very different from those of us Han people, and they rarely stay in one place for a long time. β
Speaking of this, Li Yi glanced at the people who showed a contemplative expression, and then said again, "The deeds of the ancestors before surrender are no strangers to you, although the ancestors do have this or that shortcoming, but the loyalty and patriotism of the ancestors, the ancestors can still withstand the test!" β
"Zikang, although you have some truth in what you said, that incident only happened after Li Gong was outside the city for a year. In the past year, why hasn't Li Gong sent back any news? Deng Sheng asked.
Deng Sheng's words made everyone's eyes fall on Li Yi again. Indeed, there are many doubts about Li Ling's surrender to the Xiongnu, but the most important thing is that in the following year or so, Li Ling did not have any news back at all! It can be said that as long as he can send back any news, it is impossible for Martial Emperor Liu Che to do that thing and kill Li Ling's entire family.
"Back to Deng Gong, that Hu people are very important to the ancestors of Shan Yu, so according to the information left by the ancestors, he has actually been under Shan Yu's strict surveillance for more than a year, not to mention asking for information, as long as he walks out of the big tent, someone will immediately follow." Li Yi shook his head and sighed when he heard this, "That incident happened later, which made the ancestors disheartened, and in the end it became what it was later. β
Hearing this, Deng Sheng nodded and said no more, and Li Yi also looked at the others. In his opinion, the so-called rehabilitation today is like the kind of debate competition in later generations, where every question and answer depends on who can say whom.
"Zikang, how did the ancestor leave the bloodline of the current Jiuyuan Li family?" Seeing this, Zhang Wen asked.
"Back to Zhang Gong, it is true that after the ancestor lived on the Hu side for several years, he finally gained the trust of the Hu people Shan Yu, found an opportunity to take a Han woman as a concubine and gave birth to a son, and when the son grew up, he asked him to marry a Han woman and give birth to a boy." Li Yi said respectfully when he heard this.
"And later, with the annexation of the Xiongnu, the ancestors of the Yi lineage also took the opportunity to come to Bingzhou, and finally took root in Jiuyuan County." Li Yi said with a sigh.
Hearing this, everyone sighed again and again, although Li Yi did not say it explicitly, or he himself was not very clear, but anyone who could guess from Li Yi's words could guess the various problems and difficulties encountered by the ancestors of the Li family when they took root in Jiuyuan.
"Zikang, Li Gong is the ancestor of the Jiuyuan Li family, and Zikang's family is also known as the three unique knives, guns, and arrows in Bingzhou, so the martial arts are supposed to be passed down from Li Gong. So in this case, why has no one in the Li family served the imperial court for generations? Yuan Kui asked at this time.
"Because the ancestors left a legacy before they died of illness, if the descendants have the opportunity to return to the Han land, they must not serve the imperial court." Li Yi said directly when he heard this.
One sentence suddenly made everyone's eyes look at Li Yi full of shock, especially Yuan Kui, who was even more surprised. You must know that starting from Deng Sheng just now, and then to Zhang Wen and Yuan Kui, the questions they asked are actually the best answers or questions that must be explained, and the reason why this is so is naturally to help Li Yi.
In their minds, if Li Yi didn't even think about the answers to these questions, it would undoubtedly be a big joke to rehabilitate Li Ling, and it would directly make them lose interest in continuing to win over Li Yi. After all, a person who does things without a brain, no matter how high his current achievements are, the ending after entering the court cannot be much better.
And Li Yi's words to Zhang Wen and Deng Sheng before also made them very satisfied. Although they don't know whether what Li Yi said is true or false, at least in the absence of actual evidence, Li Yi's words will undoubtedly serve as key testimony for rehabilitation. After all, Li Yinai is a descendant of Li Ling, and what he said is obviously convincing.
Well? What if there is actual evidence? If there really were, Li Ling's matter would have been determined a long time ago, and it would not have dragged on until now!
But now, Li Yi suddenly broke out such a testament, which was obviously very unfavorable to him. Because no matter whether it violates the ancestral teachings or the ancestral teachings themselves, it is a big problem that will cause trouble if you don't hear anything!
On the side, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were suddenly anxious, for fear that Li Yi's words would anger Liu Hong, but in fact, as soon as Li Yi's words came out, Liu Hong's face did freeze directly, and he was obviously shocked by Li Yi's words. It's a pity that Li Yi's words came out at this time, even if they wanted to remind them, it was too late, not to mention that Zhang Rang and the others had been watching here at this time, and there was no chance to help at all.
Taking everyone's reaction into his eyes, Li Yi didn't feel any surprise at their reaction, because he had already guessed this long before he said this. But he still said that on the one hand, he already had a way to deal with it, and on the other hand, even if Li Yi wanted to hide this matter, he couldn't hide it at all.
After all, how many people know the reason why the Li family does not serve the imperial court? Li Yi didn't know, because he and Li Yan alone rejected Guo Hong, Chen Gu and others with this result. And what about those ancestors who went back in the day? Although they have already been in the past, what if someone suddenly jumps out and breaks the news out? Maybe Li Yi has become a hegemon at that time, but this incident will still make him a dishonest person.
You must know that in this era, once reputation is lost, it is difficult to get it back, especially in terms of reputation, which will become a label for a lifetime. After all, this is an era of courtesy, righteousness and shame, not like later generations, many people are in it for money......
