Chapter 173: Immovable as a Mountain
Cai Yan is Emperor Xuanhe's confidant, and in order to compete for favor in front of Emperor Xuanhe, he broke with his father, the old lady Cai Qing, who is a person who is despised in terms of character.
But it is undeniable that this man is talented!
With the family background of the old lady Cai Qing, the people who have been cultivated are generally not too weak in the officialdom. In addition, Cai Yan's foundation is in Emperor Xuanhe, it can be said that if Zhang Yanzheng and Emperor Xuanhe are allies who use each other, then the relationship between Cai Yan and Emperor Xuanhe is really the relationship between the master and the slave.
An official who regards the emperor as his master naturally has a different starting point than others.
When everyone saw the rise of the Kedao officials, as the most loyal servant of the Great Zhou Emperor, Cai Yan had already seen that even if Zhang Yanzheng was not dealt with, the officials would become a major force. Become a major force in balancing power.
So, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, how should I deal with it?
Since they're such a monster, let's put a hanger on them!
The authority comes from the Great Zhou Law, then it is finally the Great Zhou Law!
What is Dali Temple?
In ancient times, it was said that the person who was in charge of punishment was also said to be reasonable. Increase the word, take the prison of the heavenly officials and nobles, and say the righteousness of Dali. The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that the temple of Dali Temple: the palm of the prison, the detailed punishment, and the matter of scolding.
It can be said that Dali Temple has the highest right to interpret and execute the law of the Great Zhou!
can not only give Sheng's tiger and leopard a shackle, but also be able to fight for more power for Dali Temple, this kind of thing, Cai Yan has a congenital sensitivity.
After Cai Yan asked, don't talk about Emperor Xuanhe, that is, Cai Qing and Shen Xun both showed a sense of relief.
You must know that these three people all know people's hearts and understand the hearts of officials.
Once the giant beast of Yanguan Kedao is released, then the Yuanzuo Party struggle more than ten years ago is afraid to repeat, and the scale will be even larger!
Xue Yingfeng heard Cai Yan's question, turned around, and said lightly, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if what the lower officials played is not true, it is naturally a false accusation, and according to the law of the Great Zhou, it is naturally necessary to sit back!" ”
When he arrived here, in fact, Xue Yingfeng was also sweating, because Li Qian's explanation for his design was that "the wind is the foundation of the official, and if there is no change, it will be encouraged, and there will be no wind and no waves!" ”
But Xue Yingfeng was born in a family of merchants, and she was very clear about the exploitation methods of lower-level officials, and naturally knew the importance of the law. Although they are also looking for all kinds of loopholes to make money, there is no doubt that strictly abiding by the law, this kind of benefit is too great, so big that Xue Yingfeng even wants to ask for the people's life, so that Emperor Xuanhe can promulgate a holy decree, and everyone is equal before the law of the Great Zhou.
It's just that he doesn't dare!
Secretly glanced at Li Qian, who was standing in front of the hall and supervising the order of the court, Xue Yingfeng didn't know if the other party would be angry with his own assertions! However, Li Qian's expressionless expression still made Xue Yingfeng feel uneasy.
Of course, Cai Yan understands that this kind of thing is not something that he can decide in the matter of a seven-grade rite department, as the initiator, he is actually very satisfied to have this attitude. nodded at Xue Yingfeng, then hugged his fist at Li Qian in front of him, smiled meaningfully, and said softly, "Mr. Yuliang, you are the number one person in the imperial history who supervises the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory, what do you think?" ”
Of course, Li Qian understands that the other party's so-called No. 1 person in the imperial history is a pit dug by this feminine and dangerous Yushitai for himself, which is clearly showing that he is giving himself eye medicine, implying that he is forming a gang in the Yushitai. It's just that now is no longer the time to be busy arguing about this kind of thing, and besides, he didn't think about going to the dark on the road of imperial history.
Leaned over, hugged his fist at Emperor Xuanhe, and said lightly, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." The law of the Great Zhou is naturally applied to everyone, and Yanguan is naturally no exception! ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qian knew that Xue Yingfeng could no longer gain a foothold among the civil ministers.
But at this time, he didn't dare to really push back, Emperor Xuanhe's eyes staring at him, and Cai Yan's eyes with special meaning, he was almost planted in it.
If he really moved out of the imperial history and could hear about the convention of the recital, Cai Yan would definitely refute himself, it was just the imperial history, not the officials, not these people, they were just "leading the way into the division and entering the theater", but they had this identity, but they were not the imperial history.
Then I am afraid that I will be unfamiliar with the post, dismissed, transferred, relocated, and so on.
Then Zhang Yanzheng will no longer be overthrown, and when the time comes, everything will fall short.
So, now he has to stay still, wait, wait for the best time, kill with one blow!
Cai Yan got what he wanted, smiled slightly, glanced at his father Cai Qing proudly, and then tilted his head back to his seat and sat down, picked up the tea cup and was about to drink it, when he suddenly waved his hand, beckoned the little eunuch who was waiting, and changed it to a cup of hot tea.
He didn't have the heart to help Zhang Yanzheng defend himself, and for him, if Zhang Yanzheng fell, it would be beneficial to him the next year. With his own shot just now, he could even guess that Emperor Xuanhe was satisfied with him, because at that time, no matter who mastered the Imperial History Tower, Emperor Xuanhe could control it!
After just a moment of silence, a middle-aged man walked out, waved at Emperor Xuanhe, and then turned to Xue Yingfeng, and asked calmly, "The old man advises the doctor, since it is an impeachment letter, then the old man can't help but come and ask!" ”
The one who came out of the list was Song Yu, the word Wenyuan, the number Chi Weng, and it was said that he was a distant sect of the royal family.
Xue Yingfeng smiled faintly and said to Song Yu, "Chi Weng, excuse me." ”
Song Yu just stroked his long beard lightly and asked softly, "Is there any real evidence for the impeachment?" ”
"Nope!"
Xue Yingfeng replied categorically, and replied directly without thinking about it, "If the lower official has real evidence, it is not an impeachment of the chapter, but a direct trip to Dali Temple, besides, the lower official is a speech official, and the matter of seeking evidence is the matter of the Tokyo Mansion, the Criminal Department, Marble and the Imperial Historical Tower, what does it have to do with the lower officials?" ”
It's reasonable, but it's quite reasonable.
Song Yu didn't continue to ask anything, but laughed loudly at the person next to him, "Brother Shun, the rest is your business, the old man has nothing to ask!" ”
Who is Shun Tu?
Lu asked Lu Shun!
Hearing this name, Li Qian's face changed slightly, he thought about this Song Yu, Song Yu is Zhang Yanzheng's friend, this is a well-known thing, but he didn't expect this Lu Wen to be too.
Maybe Lu Wen is not, but Song Yu's attitude is undoubtedly a major dissatisfaction with Xue Yingfeng.
Because Lu Wen is the middle of the imperial history! It is also the nominal Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng, the superior who supervises the Yushi Li Qian, and the actual highest power of the entire Yushitai.
Although Lu asked Lu Shuntu not to go to the Yushitai once since he served as the Yushi Zhongcheng, this made the Yushitai the leader and leader of the entire Yushitai under the premise that the Yushi Dafu was a false title and the Yushi Zhongcheng did not leak faces.
Even if he has never been to the Imperial History Observatory for a day, he is also the Imperial History Zhongcheng!
This Zhang Yanzheng's friend Song Yu asked the nominal direct leader of the Imperial History Observatory to ask about Xue Yingfeng's impeachment of the chapter, no matter how you look at it, it is weird, could it be said that in this imperial history, Cheng Lu asked Lu Shun that he also took refuge in Zhang Yanzheng?
