Chapter 33: Seeking the Sun and the Moon (8)
Wang Bi has lived in Jingshi for several days.
For his daughter's marriage, he spent his days and nights in the capital in tension and uneasiness.
He still remembered that when he first arrived in Beijing, Han Gang invited him to a banquet. After the banquet, Han Gang talked to him about this marriage, and directly said that the current emperor is not a good match.
Unless it is a baby parent, both parties discuss marriage when they are adults, and the family background depends on it, but the most important thing is character.
As a courtier, Han Gang directly said that the emperor's character was not good, and after Yue Niang married him, he would be delayed for a lifetime.
Han Gang stated at the time that these words were not for power, nor for political disputes, but just for his niece, otherwise if he wanted to stop it, it would be good to be hired first that day. So he only said in private, and when it came to public, he would never stop Yue Niang from becoming the queen. Of course, I don't approve of it, I won't say anything, and I don't plan to do it.
Wang Fang didn't know if what Han Gang said was true or not.
Although it is true that Han Gang has not said a word about the selection of the empress during this time, with his authority, as long as he says a word, no matter when, unless he has been hired, he can completely turn the situation around.
He was irritable in his heart, changed his clothes, and he did not take anyone with him, but went out alone to relax.
Among the Jingshi, there are many places to go for recreation. The king got into a carriage, walked for a long time, got out of the carriage, and sat down at a tavern on the side of the street.
But even in the taverns in the remote streets of the outer city, there is still no shortage of drinkers who guide the country, and idlers who have a belly full of palace secrets.
This is the custom of the capital.
As soon as Wang sat down, before he could order food and drink, he heard someone at the table next to him say, "Han Xianggong has suffered a big loss this time." ”
"How so?"
Speaking Sven, the king looked over, but it was a big man with a hairy beard.
The person who spoke had his back to the king and couldn't see his appearance clearly, "Han Xianggong is stopping, he is in love with the throne." If you don't stop it, you will be dragged down, and it won't be good for Han Xianggong to do anything. Unless you don't choose her as the queen, there will be more places to suffer in the future."
"It's all!" Dahan pinched the broad beans and peeled the skin little by little, "As long as Han Xianggong is unwilling, he can easily veto Wang Chugong's granddaughter." Is it really fake that Han Xianggong has been the prime minister for so long and participated in politics? Do you think that the Duke of Chu who retired to Jiangning was the unruly prince who was in Beijing back then? He sneered disdainfully, "Han Xianggong doesn't even need to speak, as long as he gestures to the dogs under the door, he can let them get things done." ”
Xiao Er, who ran the hall, stood and waited for the king to order.
When the king casually chose a pot of rice wine and two appetizers, he had already skipped a few words, and heard the man who carried him on his back say, "The daughter of the Di family is also excellent." ”
Dahan said: "What do you mean?" One has two fathers and three mothers, his grandfather is still a martial artist, the other is after the father, and his uncle is a powerful minister, the two are now equally evaluated, which one is better? ”
The appearance of the little lady of the Di family is already well-known in Beijing, and modifiers such as sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers are used indiscriminately. In terms of character, it is said that she is also a first-class virtuous and gentle. But how could the king think that his daughter would lose to someone else? I couldn't help frowning.
"The appearance is too outstanding, but it's actually not good."
"It's not her fault."
"It's the heart of the Son of Heaven, if you indulge in women and are taken advantage of by traitors, I don't know how state affairs will change."
The big man laughed: "I'm afraid that the emperor will only give birth to children in the harem, and all the outside affairs will be left to them." ”
The temper of the people in the capital who dare to say anything, Wang Fang can be regarded as having learned again. But what he said may not be what Han Gang and others think.
My father, is it just because of this that he will let his granddaughter be selected? Wang didn't know, and Wang Anshi never told him about it.
But Wang Fang hopes so, he doesn't want his father to let Yue Niang enter the palace, because he sees that he is not successful, and wants the Wang family to have a more stable future.
"Zaifu was recruited into the palace just now." One of the people sitting in the corner turned around and looked at the clothes on this person, it was a clerk who had been in politics for many years, "I have participated in politics today, and I have just rushed over, maybe I will have to agree on the queen's choice today." ”
Wang Bei's heart chuckled, in fact, he could also feel that the day of deciding the queen's choice was just around the corner.
Is it today?
……………………
Today it seems that it is not decided. ’
As soon as Han Gang's words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Zhang Qi's heart was beating for a while, and it was also a shame for Han Gang to dare to speak. What a queen, what a concubine, they all have to be thrown aside.
Han Gang is directly going to get along with the emperor.
Who's the only husband? Shang Xuan, Xia Wei.
King Xuan of Qi once asked Mencius, 'Tang Fangji, King Wu cut down, and the ministers killed his king, but what?' Mencius replied, "I have heard of a husband and a husband, but I have not heard of killing a king." ’
became a single husband, and the courtiers did not kill him.
Fu Bi said to his face that Yi Yin's affairs could be done by the ministers, but Yi Yin only exiled Taijia and welcomed him back three years later, but Han Gang went one step further and said that if Jun was a single husband, the courtiers would be able to kill him.
Don't let the emperor hear this, but let him, a courtier, listen to it, which is also chilling.
He looked at the other side, Zeng Xiaokuan and Deng Runfu both looked surprised.
Including Qixue, Xinxue, Daoxue, and other three schools that are most widely spread today are all Simeng. But the one who dares to talk about the only husband in the court is Han Gang, a great Confucian.
But the first chapter of the last chapter will not be surprised by Han Gang's point of view for a long time.
Han Gang, who was bent on letting the emperor rule, did not have such an idea, but was strange.
The phrase 'the world of the world' is said in his heart. How can one's own industry be the emperor's industry? Even the emperor himself did not dare to turn other people's properties into imperial property at will.
But to say this sentence openly is to blatantly deny the power that the Son of Heaven holds over the world.
This is by no means a momentary whim, or a feeling, but a deep intention. Otherwise, Han Gang would not be worthy to stand in this small hall of the East Gate.
'The world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one family and one surname. If you want to serve yourself in the world, you are not the Son of Heaven, but a single husband! Spread it out, it is a famous saying through the ages.
Maybe in order to say this, Han Gang waited for a long time for the opportunity to make trouble.
In this case, Zhang Dian does not intend to be left behind.
He walked out of the class, "What Han Gang said is exactly what he said. The world is inhabited by trillions of surnames, and the heavens are also belonging. The Son of Heaven is also the shepherd of heaven. How can you hear that a son can take away his father's property? How can you hear that a man may shepherd for himself? The concubine should be cautious, so as not to affect the Son of Heaven. ”
Zhang Dan's words echoed Han Gang before and after, and made a fuss with Concubine Zhu's words. said that he didn't want to affect the Son of Heaven, but he clearly wanted to involve the emperor.
In other words, if the emperor encounters two prime ministers at the same time, he has to bow his head and obey the softness, unless he wants to break the net, then he can call a credible imperial guard to kill the two measures.
But on the two prime ministers of Zhang and Han, they called the people of Yulongzhi to come up, and the people of the Golden Gun Class to come up, who dared to raise a knife against them?
Zhang Qi's eyes swirled back and forth on Han Gang and Zhang Dan, and their brains kept turning, why weren't they afraid of the emperor's revenge in the future?
No matter how much credit they make, it means nothing to the emperor. No matter how great the merit is, it cannot be worth the sin of violating the emperor's authority. And Han Gang and Zhang Dian are almost unscrupulous, so there is only one reason, they are not worried.
As for why he didn't worry, the reason is too simple - the little emperor may not have a future at all.
Han Gang is afraid that the life span of the Son of Heaven will not be long, and he will not survive him, nor will he survive the Queen Mother!
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, since this is the case, why don't you dare to intervene?
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the appearance of the daughter of the Di family was the crown of all women, and he had heard that the Son of Heaven had carried a thousand miles of mirrors to the height in the back garden. Her Royal Highness the Concubine wants to be the concubine of the Son of Heaven Nadi's daughter, is it what the concubine wants, or what the Son of Heaven wants? ”
Zhang Qi's words pointed directly at the Son of Heaven and questioned his character. If the concubine refuses to admit it, then the matter will have to be borne by the Son of Heaven.
Even the privy envoy came out, the heads of the civil and military classes attacked together, and Concubine Zhu only bowed her head and admitted her mistakes, could she still put the blame on his son?
The atmosphere in the hall was like a tightened bowstring, taut and tightened.
The ministers were all waiting for Concubine Zhu's apology.
But behind the screen, there was a loud cry, the cry was intermittent, and the speech was slurred, and only the 'orphans and widows' could be heard...... Rebels and thieves...... The Queen Mother is in charge.
Several Zai Fu immediately looked at each other, and when they met a woman, it was really difficult to deal with it.
Zhang Dian frowned, so Si Chen of the Hen was in trouble, and the Queen Mother didn't scold her next to her, so she saw that the concubine hall was out of order.
He glanced at Han Gang and asked him to deal with it.
Han Gang raised his head and looked directly at the screen, and scolded angrily: "The first emperor was seriously ill in the past, and his ministers were on his side, and the right to listen to the words of the government was only heard by the queen, not by the concubine." The first emperor was in Zen, and the ministers were also on the side, and the right to listen to the edict of the government was only heard by the queen mother, not by the concubine. Who behind the curtain dares to be presumptuous in the palace! ”
Han Gang is a little sure, Concubine Zhu has been too active recently, and she almost took care of the emperor's marriage, but the queen mother-in-law couldn't intervene because of all kinds of scruples.
And the small hall of the inner east gate, originally only the queen mother could come, the concubine came with her today, although it was in the name of discussing the marriage of the son of heaven, but it also violated the power of the queen mother, I don't believe she will be happy in her heart.
The sound of scolding still echoed in the hall, and suddenly there was a loud bang behind the screen, and then there was a flustery, and a shrill voice shouted, "The concubine has fainted!" ”
If the Queen Mother was fainted, it would be really troublesome. But it's just a concubine, Han Gangzhen doesn't care, "The concubine should be overworked for the marriage of the Son of Heaven, and she must recuperate for a few months." ”
After opening her eyes and saying a nonsense, she heard the screen, and the Queen Mother finally opened Chrysostom, "Xianggong is right." Quickly help the concubine down, and pass the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the concubine. ”
There was a mess behind the screen, and the concubine was helped out, and within a few months, she didn't want to interfere in Zhao Xu's marriage again.
A good place to discuss politics, it made the chickens and dogs jump, sighed to the Queen Mother, and didn't know who to blame, and sighed exhaustedly, "Let's stop here today, this situation can't be talked about." ”
Han Gang wanted to keep her, "Your Majesty, you have nothing to do with it, and please stay for a while." ”
Xiang asked the Empress Dowager weakly, "What else does Xianggong have to say?" ”
"His Majesty is his mother-in-law, and the marriage of the Son of Heaven should have been decided by His Majesty. The Queen Mother was busy with government affairs and handed it over to the concubine, but the concubine did not know it, and the ministers were afraid that the choice would not be human, so she implored the Queen Mother to choose carefully. ”
Empress Dowager Xiang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that child has a grudge in his heart." If there is another Queen Guo, wouldn't it hurt others. ”
Zhang Dian immediately praised loudly: "Your Majesty's mercy is really the blessing of the world and the blessing of all surnames." However, there is no Lu Yijian here. There is no Yan Wenying in the palace. Even if the Son of Heaven acts recklessly, he has loyal ministers and virtuous people to stop him. ”
After the abolition of Renzong, the prime minister Lu Yijian in the middle of the court, and Yan Wenying in the palace was the imperial medicine institute. The Imperial History Observatory and the Imperial History Table stopped it, and Lu Yijian directly refused to accept it. Later, Empress Guo died violently, and it is said that Yan Wenying was worried about her return to the palace, so she managed to poison her.
"If only Qing is here, of course I can rest assured. However, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government are not in line with the hearts of the princes. ”
Han Gang said: "Loyal ministers are virtuous, and they will be of one heart and one mind with us." But as His Majesty said, among the courtiers, there are inevitably traitors. If the Son of Heaven is holy, he will not be deceived by it. lest the Son of Heaven is uncertain, and at that time, there will be chaos. After a pause, he continued, "What the concubine just said, if it is just out of her own will, there is a queen mother in the palace, and it should be harmless to the world." But if the Son of Heaven has this heart, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger, and the world will be in danger. The minister has a word, there is a violation of the holy face, and please forgive your majesty. ”
"It's okay, please say."
Han Gangtu saw the dagger: "How will the Queen Mother restrain the Son of Heaven when she withdraws the curtain in the future?" ”
