"Thousands of schools are like Go."

Chang'an is simple and atmospheric, with a square and upright layout, wide and wide. In the center of Chang'an, there is a majestic imperial palace, which is magnificent, implying the trend of "the unity of heaven and man". In the palace, there is a Taiji Palace, which is even more magnificent.

In the Taiji Palace, His Majesty the Emperor sat on the top with a majestic face, and the eunuchs on both sides served.

It's still early, but it's the time of the early dynasty. Behind the Taiji Palace, there are many idle officials who are napping sleepily, swaying left and right, but fortunately, the position is back, and the emperor can't see it.

"At this meeting, it is a blessing for Datang that our Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy can win the top spot,...... Holy blessing, ancestors remnant. …… At that time, my Datang's literature and Taoism will inevitably be in full swing......"

In the center of the main hall, there stood an old man with a wrinkled face, a mouth, and only a few trembling teeth in his mouth. This person's name is Wu Yong, and he has no rank, but because he has gone through three dynasties and has deep qualifications, he doesn't know how many names he carries on his body. Instead, he sought the promise of the Hanlin Academy and led the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

Wu Yong is a bit pedantic, but he is not bad, he is responsible for officials, and he is quite good at judging the situation, so he is very respected by the courtiers.

In the Tang Dynasty Literary Conference before, after Mo Fei won the first place, he has become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Although Master Hanlin is just an idle position, he is an official under Wu Yong. At this Tianxia meeting, I was able to see the Hanlin Academy's Mo Fei get the top spot in the Tianxia meeting, and Wu Yong was very happy to have an honor in his heart.

Therefore, in today's Taiji Palace, a congratulatory fold was written. In the congratulatory fold, full of praise, he did not hesitate to praise him. Of course, above the court, in front of the Son of Heaven, Wu Yong was somewhat measured. While sparing no effort to praise Mo Fei, he is also constantly patting His Majesty the Emperor's ass.

But this kind of sycophancy, everyone is used to it.

This congratulatory statement was quite exquisite, quoting scriptures and classics, and impassioned, until it was praised to the point of no return, and then it stopped abruptly. Some officials who have just entered the officialdom don't understand the doorway, and they only nod their heads vigorously when Wu Yong is promoting newcomers.

Only Ye Jingquan, Pang Taishi and Leng Cangyun, who have been in the officialdom for a long time and are scheming, can understand that Wu Yong's actions seem to be slippery, but in fact they are wise and foolish.

Although Wu Yongren is old, his heart is shrewd.

Although Mo Fei of the Hanlin Academy is just a hairy boy who is only twenty years old, has no officialdom experience and no background. But looking at the 100-year history of Zhongzhou, how can the person who can win the top spot from the next meeting of the world be below others in the end. Even if this person doesn't like power and is so idle, but the position at the top of the list of the next generation, I am afraid that he will not be able to do the promise of the Hanlin Academy with a shy old face.

Therefore, Wu Yong could only abdicate to make way for Xian. But if you say this directly, it will make Mo Fei beaked. I had to lay the groundwork slowly, step by step. Later, when he is rewarded, he can resign and give way, and when the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will not treat him badly when he sees him so wisely.

If the Ye family and Mo Fei care about their kindness, he can also be regarded as a good fate and have a reputation for bringing up the younger generations.

These bends and bends Ye Jingquan and the others understand that His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been suspicious, also knows it. In fact, after the Tianxia meeting, he also intended to promote Mo Fei and win over the top of the Tianxia meeting. These days, I am worried that there is no suitable position, and I will reward him. Unexpectedly, Wu Yong had eyes, so after Wu Yong finished speaking, the emperor praised Wu Yong with a pleasant face to the courtiers.

Wu Yong should be modest, and he is happy in his heart.

This matter is over, and there is no need to gossip.

The courtier's recital has been completed, His Majesty looked around at the hundred officials, and said majestically: "Zhong Aiqing, is there still a book to play?" ”

The ministers were silent.

Seeing that the ministers were no longer talking, the emperor nodded, and the eunuch beside him was just about to speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." The one who spoke was a speech official, who belonged to the family of the eldest prince.

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at him coldly and did not speak.

During this time, starting from the murder in the suburbs, rumors spread in Chang'an. Above the court, several factions of officials attacked each other, and the officials quarreled endlessly, making the emperor one head and two big, and he was already impatient with these things.

Now when I see the speaker speak, I feel unhappy in my heart.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, the official complained bitterly in his heart, but he did not turn back when he opened the bow, so he could only wait for the Holy Lord to speak.

After being cold like this for a while, the emperor knew that it was not a matter for the stalemate to continue. He cherished his reputation again, and did not want to lose the reputation of humble admonition, so he had to say: "Playing the book." ”

The emperor spoke, and the official breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about his words, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, what the minister played is related to the assassination of Ye Lao, the murder on the outskirts of the city, the poisoning of the young master of the Ye family, and the man in black in the alley of Chang'an. The minister heard that after the joint trial of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, those involved in the case have confessed, and the second prince is the mastermind of these four things. Nowadays, rumors are spreading in Chang'an, and the people's voices are boiling, if they are not dealt with in time, it will be extremely detrimental to the majesty of the heavenly family. The minister dared to beg His Majesty to deal with the second prince strictly, so as to set the record straight. ”

During this time, no matter how the courtiers played the book, no matter how the message was shouting, the emperor was afraid of the strength of the Leng family and kept delaying the matter.

However, under pressure, although the second prince was not directly tried, he ordered Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Criminal Department to arrest and interrogate the criminals below to thoroughly investigate the case.

The second prince is backed by the Leng family, so he is naturally not afraid. However, the triage of the three divisions, escorted by Taishi Pang and the eldest prince, and Li Yanqi added fuel to the fire, as a result, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and finally pointed the finger at the second prince, and the second prince was indeed suspected of being the mastermind.

This official was an official of the Great Prince's faction, and wanted to take advantage of the end of the Heavenly Meeting, when the envoys of Qin and Han had not yet left, and used the pressure of public opinion to force His Majesty the Emperor to make a final decision.

After hearing this, the emperor's heart was moved, in fact, the second prince, as the grandson of the Leng family, in the emperor's heart, he would never be able to ascend to the throne.

However, the Leng family did not express his position on this matter, and he didn't want to expose his thoughts too early, so he hesitated for a moment and was just about to speak.

Suddenly, another official said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Subsequently, the courtiers stood up one after another and said, "The courtiers seconded the proposal." ”

……

There were more and more courtiers, and seeing that the situation was almost over, Pang Taishi's eyes opened slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Master Pang spoke, and those courtiers who were swaying from side to side seemed to have found the backbone of the backbone and responded instantly.

……

After a while, almost a third of the officials in the court seconded the proposal. The rest are either officials from the Leng family's faction or neutral officials headed by Ye Jingquan, but this matter involves Mr. Ye Gongshu.

Ye Jingquan naturally couldn't sit idly by, and said, "The minister also seconded the proposal." ”

This one, who has never been involved in anything and does not participate in party disputes, suddenly spoke out. The hundred officials were shocked, and immediately, those officials led by the Ye family said one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

In the Taiji Palace, only the Leng family faction was still silent, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Leng Cangyun and asked tepidly: "Leng Aiqing, is this matter ...... What do you think? ”
