Chapter 177: Countermeasures
Liu Jin's subtle and silent means of moistening things in the Manchu Dynasty acquiesced in the unclear acquiescence of the civil and military affairs, and achieved phased results step by step, and even the emperor's jade seal was placed on his desk by him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But after all, there are still a few discerning people in the court, and Wang Shouren and Yang Shen, who know the details, finally discovered that something was wrong.
Since Zhang Yi, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, was transferred out of Gyeonggi, the two of them began to closely monitor Liu Jin's every move. However, because the scope of Jinyiwei's activities covers the whole country, but there are not many means in the imperial city, what they do to Liu Jin has not reached the level of seeing every move.
Liu Jin didn't leave the palace, and they couldn't grasp Liu Jin's handle, so they could only guess by experience. Therefore, under Liu Jin's encroachment step by step, Wang Shouren and Yang Shen only honestly hibernated, going to work every day, participating in court politics, and observing Liu Jin.
After Liu Jin moved the puppet to the leopard room, this kind of thing became dispensable, and Yang Shen and Wang Shouren suddenly realized that Liu Jin was really plotting against him.
The main reason is that Liu Jin is too eager for quick success after all, and he just started to issue decrees as soon as he held power, one after another, although they are all dispensable nonsense, but this enthusiasm for power is still completely exposed.
After the news of the emperor's concubine again came out, Liu Jin's actions completely aroused the suspicion of Yang Shen and Wang Shouren.
"Suddenly want to give the emperor a concubine, what is Liu Jin's idea?" After Yang Shen arrived at Wang Shouren's mansion, he asked anxiously without taking a sip of tea.
"Sima Zhao's heart, Brother Yang, look." Wang Shouren handed Yang Shen a thin pile of paper: "Liu Thief actually came up with such an idea, it can be seen that there are still capable people around him." ”
Yang Shen took it and looked at it, but he didn't see any flaws, and the paper still continued the consistent style of Jinyiwei, which was a comic strip.
"Just this woman? Is Jinyiwei's painting abstract or is this woman's appearance abstract in the first place? Yang Shen almost choked to death with saliva: "He dares to send such a woman to the emperor." Oh my God, even if the one on the dragon chair is fake, you can't just fool people like that, right? ”
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea and reminded: "Brother Yang, look carefully, that woman has a problem." ”
Jin Yiwei works quite seriously, this pile of paintings not only has the main view, but also the side view and the top view, which can be said to show the appearance of this woman in 360 degrees without dead ends.
Yang Shen looked at it several times and couldn't find out where the problem Wang Shouren said: "This girl is really ugly, who is Liu Jin disgusting?" ”
Wang Shouren sighed and said, "Brother Yang, why is your aesthetic still in the initial stage, what are you always staring at your face?" ”
"My breasts aren't big, and my legs aren't long." Yang Shen still didn't see anything, and said embarrassedly: "It seems that it is necessary to let Bohu urgently train Jinyiwei's painting style, and the long abstract paintings are also abstract, so you can't see them at all." ”
"I'll talk about that later, look at the woman's waist." Wang Shouren reminded.
"It's very thick, well, it's very thick, how did you get such a fat man?" Yang Shen stepped forward and took a closer look, and suddenly exclaimed, "This is a pregnant woman!" ”
Wang Shouren said: "Sure enough, you also think it's a pregnant woman!" ”
"Brother Bo'an, since you have already seen it, can't you just tell me about it?"
"Jin Yiwei's painting style is too abstract, I can't confirm ......"
The two of them took the painting and studied it for a while, and finally determined that the woman who had entered the palace was indeed a pregnant woman, and they were all confused.
After looking at each other for a long time, Yang Shen spoke: "What is the idea of this Liu Jin, is it to attract the attention of hundreds of officials and blind the eyes and ears of hundreds of officials?" ”
The real emperor is not in the palace, in order to let the officials not notice this problem, it is indeed a good way to accept a concubine, but there is no need to be so disgusting to the emperor, right?
Suddenly, the two of them raised their heads at the same time and said in unison: "He wants to cause trouble in the palace!" ”
After determining Liu Jin's evil thoughts, Yang Shen stood up, walked around the circle twice, and scolded: "What a Liu Jin, it is really a ghost in his heart, and the fox's tail is this kind of ruthless method when it is exposed!" ”
"Yes, Liu Jin's heart is already clear. He just wants to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is not in the palace and the ministers don't know the truth to change the royal bloodline! Wang Shouren also said: "But what is the purpose of his doing this, it is not good for him to get a pregnant woman into the palace." ”
Indeed, suddenly getting a pregnant woman into the palace is not beneficial to Liu Jin at all, and it can even be said that it is his failure.
"The identity of this woman is a key, check, you must find out the identity of this woman!" Yang Shen said.
Wang Shouren waved his hand and said: "This matter is important, but you and I are powerless, just leave it to Jinyiwei to do." What we have to do now is to use this woman to suppress Liu Jin's arrogance. ”
"How?"
Wang Shouren smiled slightly: "You and I will go our separate ways!" ”
It is not a big deal for the emperor to accept concubines in the orderly chaos of the imperial court now. Moreover, the emperor has been on the throne for many years, but the harem is withering day by day, and only one queen is considered a serious concubine of the emperor.
And another woman who was canonized as a virtuous concubine, but her other identity is Her Royal Highness the Queen of the vassal state of Joseon, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty all know that it is basically impossible to let the Queen of Joseon continue the bloodline for the Ming Emperor.
The problem is not that the Ming people have a racist mentality, but that His Majesty the Emperor is really beyond the reach of the whip.
In this way, giving the emperor a concubine and letting the emperor give birth to more sons early can be regarded as a contribution to stabilizing the country, so many ministers have no objection to this.
Even from the perspective of imperial history, even if Liu Jin doesn't do this, they will find an opportunity to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to marry more wives and have more children for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.
For this reason, Yang Shen's lobbying results were pitiful. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not have much opinion on the matter of the emperor's concubine at all. They don't care what the emperor tastes, even if the emperor is interested in marrying an old sow one day, the officials are happy to see it, as long as the blood of the royal family continues.
All in all, it is a sentence, the emperor does not marry a wife, they dare to care, what wife the emperor marries, after having the experience of the queen, they don't have the courage to touch that brow.
On Yang Shen's side, he didn't directly dare to shake out that the woman Liu Jin summoned into the palace was pregnant. The point is that no one dares to believe this kind of thing, and maybe they will be slapped by honest officials.
What a sin it must be to slander the royal family.
