357 Struggle (I)
At this time, it was already the early autumn of the second year of Zhihe, Pang Ji had been the prime minister for five years, the time was long enough, Li Buqi paid off the national debt of 11 million yuan, the emperor had no worries, according to Zhao Zhen, the emperor's consistent means to prevent his courtiers from becoming bigger, Pang Ji was dismissed because of a trivial matter and went to Shaanxi to play. The former prime minister Wen Yanbo successfully counterattacked, and once again served as the left servant, and the right servant shot was also replaced by the former prime minister Chen Zhizhong. Fu Bi also returned to the dynasty as a Zhongshu squire equivalent to the original governor of political affairs - since the death of Fan Zhongyan, the Qingli Party has no leader, so that the vigilance of those who oppose the reform is greatly reduced, and the emperor dares to reuse the ministers who participated in the Qingli reform.
However, even if Fu Bi, a member of the Qingli Party, became a Zhongshu Shilang, he was not as eye-catching as another person who was included in the "Qingli Party", this person was Han Qi, the new deputy privy envoy. And Han Qi attracted attention not because of himself, but because of Di Qing, the privy envoy appointed by the emperor.
Back then in Shaanxi, Di Qing was Han Qi's subordinate, and the grievances between the two can be said to be well known, but now Di Qing is Han Qi's top boss. Han Qi ridiculed Di Qing in person and said that "Donghuamen is a good man", but Di Qing is now in charge of Han Qi, a civil official, with a golden seal on his face as a martial artist, which is simply a naked sarcasm of Han Qi, and the embarrassment is only known to Han Qi. This can be seen from the fact that Han Qi is said to have never smiled in front of Di Qing. Therefore, everyone in the capital is waiting to see the excitement.
Di Qing's face with a golden seal with the army and the martial artist Wang Deyong as a privy envoy was not only a satire on Han Qi, but also a satire on many civilian officials who claimed to be both civil and military and omniscient, so Han Qi was not fighting alone. Ever since Di Qing was appointed as a privy envoy, the civil servants have never stopped framing Di Qing.
In the past two days, there have been new rumors about Di Qing, and it is rumored that someone saw that Di Qing's dog had two horns on his head, which was a sign that the owner would become the emperor. At this time, more than a dozen imperial historians immediately wrote to report to the emperor like chicken blood, and also alarmistly alluded to the possibility that Di Qing, the privy envoy, might be added to the yellow robe.
In the morning, the Xuande Gate had not yet opened, and hundreds of officials had to stand in the square in front of the Xuande Gate and wait for the court. At this time, it was the time when officials were accustomed to exchanging information and close relations, and most of the people gathered together in a group in the east and west to talk quietly. Among these many officials, because of their special status, others are unwilling to make peace with them, and they can't make peace with others, so they naturally form their own faction. But now, whenever they are waiting for the court in front of the Xuande Gate, the imperial historians will always be no more or less faintly divided into two piles and say their own whispers, and they don't care much about each other.
There were only three people in the small crowd, and one of them asked a thin one with a white face: "Qinfu, I was not in the Yushitai yesterday, I heard that Sun Zhongcheng blamed you?" I don't know why. ”
Another black-faced and slightly chubby person said for Qin Lian: "Brother Gai, this matter is really annoying, and the younger brother thinks that Sun Zhongcheng is finding fault." He also accused Qinfu of poor writing, did not understand the penmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period, and did not conform to the style of Yushitai. The younger brother thought that Sun Zhongcheng just looked at those of us who had risen up from practical things, and picked bones in the eggs. ”
Yushi, surnamed Gai, was the oldest among the three and had the most calm temperament, and said with a smile: "Zitong can't say that about Sun Zhongcheng." If you really talk about it, the three of us are really incompatible with the atmosphere of this Yushitai. ”
He looked up at the imperial historians who were surrounding him not far away, and smiled slightly: "The three of us can only do practical things, even if we write articles, we are used to finding the bottom of things, but it doesn't match the style of the imperial history." It's not that Sun Zhongcheng deliberately made it difficult for us. ”
Qin Lian said helplessly: "If you don't pay attention to the word "real", how can Hebei and Guangnan settle down? It can be seen that if you want to keep the country and the people safe, you can't do without the word 'real'. No, even His Majesty issued an edict asking everyone to discuss the 'practical learning' examination in the future. When I was in the academy, I learned the word 'real', and I really couldn't do it. ”
Gai Yushi smiled and said: "You are right, it is really difficult for people like us to chase after the wind and shadows." But why should we learn from others to chase after the wind? The rankings of the three of us and the other three are all behind, and the article is not even more outstanding, but Your Majesty simply promoted the three of us in this position of imperial history, in the eyes of the foolish brother, it should be that Your Majesty wants to see something real. Nowadays, the court is full of retreat people, and we can't compare to them when we go to retreat, so it is better to keep our duty and do some practical things, and we are worthy of the grace of Your Majesty. ”
Qin Lian and Zhou Zitong both claimed to be taught, and at this time, the Xuande Gate was opened, and the officials entered the inner hall. Gai Yushi seemed to casually glance at Chengsun in the imperial history, and subconsciously touched the chapter in his arms.
A majestic figure walked past him and cast him an inquiring look. This is the same year as him, and he is also a classmate of Qingyuan Academy, Wang Yun, who has just been transferred to the police department. He immediately nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready. Wang Yun didn't stop and walked in front of Gai Yushi. Gai Yushi also walked towards Xuande Gate casually.
When they arrived at the Xuande Gate, a royal historian also walked in the door, and when he saw the royal history, he immediately cast a disgusted gaze. Gai Yushi maintained a gentle smile on his face, but when that Yushi walked over, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashed on Yushi's back, and he secretly said in his heart: "If you don't knock you down one by one, those of us who do practical things don't want to have a bright future." You are dead, no wonder I am! ”
Today is not a big court meeting, the emperor does not show up in the outer court according to the custom, and after being the right servant and shooting into the Chongzheng Hall to receive the decree, he comes out and asks as usual: "If there is something to play early!" ”
As the voice landed, a person walked out of the imperial history: "Chen Zhang, the courtier of the imperial history, has a book, and it has been rumored in Beijing recently that there are horns on the forehead of a dog in the Di Shu's Mansion, and there are several strange lights, everyone says that this is an omen of the emperor, and the discussion is in an uproar, and it is worrying." I also ask Your Majesty to calm down the discussion. ”
At this time, everyone looked at Di Qing in the military general's class, Di Qing's face was as black as charcoal, but he was helpless about the rumor-mongering imperial history.
Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and asked, "Who else has Ben?" ”
Gai Yushi calmly paced out of the shift, and said loudly: "The minister's imperial history Gaijiao also has a book. Recently, the minister found out about a big conspiracy, which also involved Di Shu Mi and Wang Shu Mi. This is a terrible matter, so it is necessary to meet Your Majesty. ”
At this time, Di Qing's face turned green, and Wang Deyong's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip.
Wen Yanbo's thoughts turned sharply for a while, and he couldn't be sure of Gai Jiao's intentions. In the imperial history, the gaze of the imperial history of Cheng Sun Luan and other imperial histories aimed at Gaijiao is even more complicated, they have always regarded these three imperial histories from Qingyuan Academy, who are "real learning" when they open their mouths and close their mouths, as martial artists, so they don't know whether this Gaijiao is ready to help Di Qing, or take the opportunity to step on Di Qing in order to gain Zhongcheng's approval.
Gai Jiao said that the matter was so serious, he was the imperial history, and Wen Yanbo had no reason not to let him see the emperor, so he led the two imperial historians to the Chongzheng Palace.
Naturally, Chen Zhang first reported to the emperor that there were various visions in Di Qing's house in Beijing recently, and the people believed that this was an omen for Di Qing to become the emperor, so he asked the emperor to remove Di Qing to calm people's hearts.
The emperor has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he just hummed haha and didn't make a statement. Then it was Gai Jiao's turn, and Gai Jiao glanced at Chen Zhang before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has recently heard that the Jingshi has rumored that Di Shu's secret matter, because the matter involves important ministers of the court, and it must not be careless, so the minister secretly visited, but who knew that he found a big conspiracy." ”
His words below were earth-shattering. "The ministers heard that some traitors in the court framed Di Shumi and Wang Shumi with rumors, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the Privy Council. As for their conspiracy, the minister thought that the person who framed Di Shumi's plot was great, and he had to guard against it, so he asked His Majesty to order the police department to thoroughly investigate the rumors about Di Shumi. ”
Although Gai Jiao did not say what the purpose of the person who framed Di Qing was, but controlling the Privy Council controlled the army to a certain extent, so the purpose was obvious.
Wen Yanbo's heart suddenly slipped up, and he immediately hated Sun Luan and Yigan Yushi in his heart. He had long heard that the three imperial historians from Qingyuan Academy in the Imperial History Observatory had been seriously excluded, and he had also hinted to Sun Luan not to do things for this matter. But Sun Luan wants to show his spotless noble manners, and he is not willing to tolerate the "traitors" in the imperial history team at all, which is good, forcing people to rebel, right?
What does Goshi do? It's just talking! Isn't it because the civilian officials are in charge of the military generals that no one in the court speaks to the generals? Now that someone has spoken to Di Qing, it seems that he is in a desperate posture, and he will not give up easily.
Wen Yanbo glanced at the emperor's suddenly shiny eyes, and was secretly frightened in his heart. Since the emperor appointed Di Qing as a privy envoy, the ministers have constantly written to hurt Di Qing, pushing the emperor too hard, and now Gaijiao has provided the emperor with a grip, Wen Yanbo is very worried that it will cause an earthquake in the court. As a person who is good at figuring out people's hearts, he understands that the emperor is actually a little temperamental.
