Two hundred and forty-four kill two birds with one stone
The emperor removed Bao Zheng from the post of transport envoy and transferred him back from Hebei, but did not clarify Bao Zheng's next position. Moreover, the emperor also called Bao Zheng to Da Nei several times, and gave him a notebook, asking Bao Zheng to write down his idea of setting up a police department.
Before the emperor supported Fan Zhongyan to start the Qingli reform, he called Fan Zhongyan to Tianzhang Pavilion to give him a pen and ask for advice. This signal has become obvious, and people with bright minds are no longer entangled in the affairs of the police department, although they will not express their approval or opposition, but at the same time, they have set off another public opinion frenzy on the matter with the third prince. On the seventh day of the fourth month, more than 30 officials knelt outside the Xuande Gate and asked the emperor to put the country first and let the three princes leave the palace. These people are also fighting for glory and wealth.
The emperor was under a lot of pressure, knowing that there were ghosts in it, but there were too few people who clearly supported the three princes, and he did not have the courage to kill the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty. And Li Buqi thinks that the emperor does not have the intention of favoring the fourth prince, but he only has two sons now, and he does not dare to give up the backup of a crown prince, and he will never dare to let him send his third son to be a monk.
The more than 30 officials who knelt down to confuse the public were completely misleading, but they were not dealt with at all. The emperor's hesitant mentality can't hide it from people at all, and some people are aimed at the emperor's hesitation. So on the afternoon of April 13, when Li Buqi was in the ordnance prison, the emperor gave Li Buqi a clueless time, and Li Buqi felt that something must be wrong. After thanking the emperor for the reward, the little eunuchs went to put the rewarded food in the house, and the eunuch Wang Zhongzheng, who came to deliver the decree, bowed to Li Buqi and said, "Congratulations to Li Junjian." ”
Li Buqi asked, "I don't know what the cabinet chief congratulates me?" ”
Wang Zhongzheng whispered: "This morning, Wen Shenzheng suggested to the official family that Li Junjian allowed Wen Yunwu to know everything about astronomy and geography, so Wen Shenzheng recommended the official family to let the three princes worship Li Junjian as a teacher." ”
People in officialdom don't need to speak too clearly. Wang Zhongzheng deliberately pointed out this matter, which already explained the problem, just said that he needed to say a word, and Li Buqi knew it in his heart.
What a good thing is this, I want to kill the three princes and Li Buqi at the same time.
Li Buqi looks at Zhao Zhen as a soft bone, and now his heart is biased towards his younger son, so the bottom line is very low, just not to let himself be infamous as "unkind". Now Wen Yanbo has given Zhao Zhen a step and put the three princes out of the palace in the name of "learning from teachers".
Everyone understands that as long as the underage prince of the Great Song Dynasty leaves the palace, it has nothing to do with the throne. As for Yu'er, as long as his younger brother is not dead and has no heir, there is no possibility of inheriting the throne. And if Li Buqi is tied to a prince who is impossible to inherit the throne, then Li Buqi will be considered to be an alternative, not to mention the next Zhao official family, even the current Zhao official family must beware of Li Buqi using the prince in his hand to do something. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Buqi to have any real power in the future.
This little abacus is really fine. However, Li Buqi only sneered slightly: "Wen is thoughtful in participating in politics, but it is often difficult to fulfill people's wishes." ”
Wang Zhongzheng thought that Li Buqi had underestimated the seriousness of the matter, and his face was a little anxious: "Officials should not tell others. The little one thinks that the official family also has this intention. ”
Wang Zhongzheng is still young and has a relatively straight temperament, such a person is still worth dating. Li Buqi smiled and said, "I'm not talking about being an official. From my heart, if I can teach a prince who is all-round in civil and military affairs for the Great Song Dynasty, it will also be the glory of my Li not to give up. It's just that the world is impermanent. ”
Wang Zhongzheng blinked, he didn't understand the wit in Li Buqi's words, but it was not good to ask again, it was worth giving up his hand and going back to his life.
When he returned home in the evening, Li Buqi said to Zhang Yingniang, who followed him to the study: "It is estimated that Zhao Guan's family will let his son come to our house in a few days." ”
"What?" Zhang Yingniang clenched her fists all of a sudden: "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Buqi said: "On the surface, he asked his son to learn skills from me, but in fact, he was afraid that his son would kill him, and he wanted another son to be the emperor and drive this son out, so as not to gossip." Therefore, if you slaughter this child, the Zhao official family will not be distressed, and you will be charged with the official of your family. There are a lot of people who are happy to see your family officials unlucky. ”
Zhang Yingniang tried her best to calm down and asked, "Do the officials have any ideas?" ”
Li Buqi pinched Zhang Yingniang's face: "Those who know me, Yingniang is also." I saw that kid, the foundation is good, I will train a freak for them, and when the time comes, I will sacrifice Han Qi to the sky! ”
Zhang Yingniang looked at Li Buqi's murderous look on his face, and nodded solemnly: "The slave family knows that the officials are definitely not willing to be manipulated by others. The slave family must have helped the officials to get this done. ”
Sure enough, three days later, Zhao Zhen summoned Li Bu to go to the Chongzheng Palace. At first, Zhao Zhen retreated, and when he didn't have anything to say, he first asked how the police department operated, and then changed the conversation: "Don't give up, your whimsical ideas are really unprecedented." If I could learn a few points, it would not be so difficult to come to the country of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Li Buqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and has his own destiny, so you can't be presumptuous." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "It's impossible for me to learn with you, so it's better to let the rest of the children worship you as a teacher and learn skills with you." I don't know what you think? ”
Li Buqi pretended to be confused: "Dare not obey your fate? I'm afraid that the ministers are shallow in their studies, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to teach the prince well. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "If you are only a shallow learner, I am afraid that no one in this court will dare to call it profound." After reading the "Theory of Money" you wrote, I understood why there are always people who make a lot of money but it always doesn't work, and a word can wake up the person in the dream. ”
Li Buqi hurriedly said: "That's mainly because a show named Mao Zhichun figured out about it." ”
Zhao Zhen immediately brought the topic back to the matter of apprenticeship: "Your knowledge is really complicated, if you lecture like before, I don't think it will be good." Why don't you let the rest of the palace go out of the palace and learn with you? ”
Li Buqi pretended to be surprised and glanced up at the emperor, and found that the emperor's face turned red. It's not bad, and I know shame. But Li Buqi couldn't agree so easily, he only said: "This matter is not in line with the rules of the ancestors, I am afraid of being criticized." ”
The emperor pretended to nod his head: "Your concerns are reasonable, but the ancestral law is not completely unchangeable." I will discuss this matter with the Prime Minister. If they agree......"
Li Buqi said: "As long as no one criticizes, there is naturally nothing to do." The ministers will do their best to return His Majesty to a prince who is a man of all-round civil and military talents. It's just that if the three princes really learn from the ministers, the ministers also have a few requirements. ”
"Oh, you say."
"First, the three princes need to enter the palace at least once a month to ask His Majesty and the Empress for peace, and it is a rule."
"Well, it's nature." Zhao Zhen thought about it and finally agreed.
"Second, since the third prince wants to study with his ministers outside the palace, it is okay for His Majesty to send someone to protect the prince, but there can't be too many people who take care of the prince's life."
"yes, okay." This time, the emperor replied happily.
"Third, the third prince is a boy. For a boy to grow into a man, he must always be hurt a little. Therefore, if the third prince is injured, this ......"
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth: "I don't blame you." I can make this clear in the edict. ”
Li Buqi said: "Okay, since this is the case, this errand minister has taken it." ”
