Chengtian for three years, winter.

At the routine court meeting on this day, Yue Lei, who had risen all the way, took the initiative to propose to depose the crown prince Zhao Bin, and recommended Zhao Qing, the king of Qi, as the crown prince!

This proposal is very ridiculous, because Zhao Bin was canonized as the crown prince, and it was only a year before and after.

And the most important thing is that Zhao Bin lived in the East Palace after being canonized as the crown prince, and he has not done anything out of the ordinary, so how can he say that it is abolished?

In this way, wouldn't the imperial court system be child's play?

If this kind of remark had been placed a year ago, even if the current emperor Ye Yu was critically ill and ignored political affairs, he would have already been criticized by the ministers.

But now is different from the past, as soon as Yue Lei's proposal was proposed, it was approved and supported by some people.

Among them, the most enthusiastic is naturally Kong Dexian.

"The lower official seconded Lord Yue!" Kong Dexian then said his point of view seriously, "Today's prince has an uncertain temperament, is playful, and does not practice court affairs all day long, how will he inherit the unification in the future?" ”

"Secondly, although the queen is at the head of the six palaces, her family background is rooted in the body of a businessman. The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are only in the fourth class, and now the mother is the world of His Majesty's grace! ”

"However, if his heirs are allowed to enter the East Palace, and even more so he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, wouldn't it damage the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty nobles, and how will my Great Song Wenlin scholars view the imperial court?"

Kong Dexian talked so much eloquently, in the final analysis, it was just one sentence, that is, Su Yueyun's family background was not good, and even her son Zhao Bin was not good!

Later, Kong Dexian praised the intelligence and diligence of Zhao Qing, the king of Qi, and affirmed the affection of his mother Qiulan and His Majesty.

The worst is that it is higher than the status of a merchant's daughter!

Confucianism, like Buddhism, is the best at preaching, just imagine Lu Xun's Kong Yiji, can shamelessly say that stealing books is stealing books, which shows that the eloquence of fooling people is not blowing.

With a great Confucian like Kong Dexian, when he speaks, he is well-reasoned and well-founded, and the spittle stars are flying!

"Well, what Master Kong said is not unreasonable!" Chai Shuxia, who was in charge of the government, nodded, and asked Xiang Qunchen instead, "What do you adults think?" ”

When Chai Shuxia asked, the entire hall was silent.

Obviously, today's imperial court has become a hall of words, and he is Uncle Xia's hall of words!

Standing here are all old fritters who have been in the sea for a long time, how can they not know that Kong Dexian and Yue Lei are Chai Shuxia's people, and the two are now singing this double reed on stage, and the hidden message behind it is naturally self-evident.

Now Chai Shuxia is in charge of the military power of the Privy Council, exercising the power of Zaifu, and taking charge of the government as a regent.

There is also Kong Defang, a descendant of Confucius, who waeds the banner of justice in the court and Wenlin, and everything Chai Shuxia has done has been wrapped by him with a reasonable reputation.

and Yue Lei, a descendant of the Yue family, secretly gathered the old and young remnants of the Yue family's army, and its power has already spread throughout the entire government and the opposition.

In fact, now the military officials in the context of the government and the opposition have already been exchanged for blood by Uncle Chai Xia.

And the young royalist faction led by Yue Lin and Yue Chen's father and son, Chai Shuxia directly transferred these people out of Beijing one after another.

In this way, the situation in the capital is under his control.

Therefore, although this proposal is very unreasonable, no one has come forward to refute it in the end.

Chai Shuxia looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one stood up to question and refute, so he showed a smile: "Since you have no objections, then the Hanlin Academy will immediately draft an edict, and this king will also be submitted to His Majesty for a holy ruling!" ”

"Lord Wang, I don't know what reason to draft the edict?"

"Hmph, do you need this king to teach you?" Uncle Chai Xia frowned, but he was not angry, "If that's the case, then why does this dynasty want to set up a special Hanlin Academy!?" ”

"Yes, it's the lower officials who are confused!"

Sun Deyu, the director of the Hanlin Academy, sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly retreated.

"There's nothing else to do, let's retreat over there!"

Chai Shuxia watched the ministers in the palace be silent, so he flicked the sleeves of his robe and announced his retirement from the dynasty, which was very emperorly.

This made Chai Shuxia think for a while that in addition to not being able to sit on the dragon chair and look down on the ministers, he was no different from the Son of Heaven who ruled the ministers.

When the ministers dispersed, Chai Shuxia, Yue Lei, and Kong Defang gathered in the Privy Council.

In the room, sandalwood curled up, and the three of them sat around the fireplace to discuss the affairs of the court.

"Lord Wang, judging from the attitude of today's ministers, it is a good sign for our great cause!" Kong Dexian rubbed his cold hands, and his face could not hide the joy.

Obviously, today's deposition of the crown prince Zhao Bin and the establishment of Zhao Qing, the king of Qi, is a move to test the attitude of the ministers!

I just want to see how many people will be opposed.

As a result, they are very satisfied!

When Yue Lei heard this, he wrinkled his eyebrows and seemed to be worried: "Having said that, I always feel a little treacherous. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Chai Shuxia calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip silently.

"This ......" Yue Lei wanted to express his feelings, but in the end he couldn't describe it in words, and then sighed and said, "Maybe it's too smooth, which makes Xia Guan feel unsteady." ”

"Lord Yue is worried a lot this time, now that Jiang Fu's old boy has been forced to become a master, the entire government and the opposition have been almost cleaned up, and the prince is already completely in control of the situation......"

Kong Dexian was about to continue, but was interrupted by Chai Shuxia waving his hand: "Until the last moment, no one can say that they must be in control of the overall situation." ”

“……”

Chai Shuxia's objective remarks made Yue Lei and Kong Dexian stunned.

But then, Chai Shuxia continued: "Speaking from the heart, this king has always been proud of His Majesty, and it is sincerely gratifying to have such a genius nephew to be an uncle!" But at the same time, he has always been feared by this king! ”

When Chai Shuxia said this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Obviously, this nephew who appeared out of thin air, while accelerating the return of power of the Chai clan, also potentially broke his layout for many years.

But now, none of this seems to be very important, because his nephew is about to die, and the underlying deep worries are gone.

Moreover, in the current Great Song Dynasty, the power is under his control, and Ye Yu's most deterrent military forces are also expanding their territories at the border.

It can be said that the current Great Song Dynasty Imperial Power is already in a vacuum!

The palace is under his surveillance;

The prince is in his hands;

As long as Zhao Qing is appointed as the crown prince, he can logically coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and successively cut off the princes in the palace and the military and political dignitaries of all parties.

After another two or three years of buffer period, he can logically force Zhao Qing to take the throne and repeat the scene of Zhao Kuangyin bullying the Chai family's widows.

Although he was called Wang Mang and his ilk by Su Yueyun, he would not be as eager as Wang Mang. (.. )
