"This Guo Xun is really angry!" Zhu Houxi tightly pinched the fold that Guo Xun replied in his hand, and paced back and forth in the palace angrily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cui Yuan just stood silently at the foot of the steps, not daring to say a word. Although Guo Xun did such a stupid thing at this time was enough to make Cui Yuan happy in his heart for a long time, this kind of emotion must not be revealed to the outside world, he could only wait here for Zhu Houxi to vent his emotions, and then ask himself sentence by sentence.

"Why did I want Guo Xun and Wang Tingxiang to do this together, didn't I just want to give Guo Xun a chance? Well? Zhu Houxi stood up, his eyes fixed on Cui Yuan a little viciously, as if he was the Guo Xun who angered him, "He's good, he doesn't admit my love at all!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Xu is the Duke of Lingguo is still ill, so the matter has been delayed..."

"Is he sick or not?" Zhu Houxi unconsciously raised his voice again, and even his beard trembled, "If he is really sick, I will send him to do this?" ”

"Xu is the Duke of Lingguo, in order to show the emperor... He's really still sick..."

"Even if that's the reason, I can tolerate him, but... But do you know what he says in his reply to me? Zhu Houxi said as he lifted the fold in his hand, and the thick paper made him clench.

"The minister saw that this excerpt was presented by the Duke of Lingguo, and it was a reply to His Majesty's recital, so the minister didn't read it, so he sent it directly to the palace..."

"Okay, then you can take a look now..."Zhu Houxi threw the letter in his hand at Cui Yuan's feet, "Look at how he wrote this letter, and look at what he wrote in the last sentence!" It's so arrogant! It's so presumptuous! ”

Although Cui Yuan had read the letter and could be said to have studied it very carefully, he still pretended not to have read it at all, and read it word by word from beginning to end. When I read it to the end, I let out an "ah" with a very high level of actor quality, revealing an extremely surprised expression, "Your Majesty, how can he... How can you be so rude? ”

"Yes, you are very surprised, I am also very surprised, I didn't expect him Guo Xun to be so bold!" Zhu Houxi flicked his sleeves and sat back in his seat, "Why bother to teach?" Hehe... Can't I even say that he is a dignified Duke of Lingguo? ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry yet, Xu is... Xu is the Duke of Lingguo..."Cui Yuan slurred, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"What is Xu? Well? I don't think you can find any reason for him, do you? Zhu Houxi sneered, "I think it's just that he Guo Xun is domineering and doesn't know how to restrain himself!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, after all, Ling Guogong has done so many things for the court, didn't Your Majesty still say that when Ling Guogong recovers from illness and returns to the court, there are still many things to be taken care of by Ling Guogong?" Cui Yuan's move is ruthless, Zhu Houyu didn't say that he wanted to deal with Guo Xun, but Cui Yuan's words set up for Zhu Houyu in advance: Guo Xun will definitely be dealt with.

"Hmph, I get angry when I say this, I think it's because I trust him too much, that's why he dares to be so rude to me!" Zhu Houxi's eyes widened, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if he was thinking about something, "Did you say that Guo Xun thinks... After Xia Yan left the court, I didn't need him? ”

"Ahh This... The minister didn't dare to say anything..."Cui Yuan lowered his head, he didn't observe Zhu Houxi's face, but he could guess what the suspicious Zhu Houyi's expression was at this time.

"It's okay, I want you to say it, just say what you think in your heart now..."Zhu Houyu was quite calm at this time, but Cui Yuan raised his head and still noticed the imperceptible anger flashing in Zhu Houxi's eyes.

"The minister thinks... The emperor entrusted the Duke of Lingguo, which is not inappropriate, but... It's just a few things... There is really no need to appoint the Duke of Ling..."

"Oh? What are you referring to? Zhu Houxi frowned, and his mind did not stop thinking.

"The minister thinks that things like worshipping the heavens and worshipping the ancestors... It shouldn't be done by Ling Guogong..."Cui Yuan saw that Zhu Houxi's face was not good, and hurriedly explained, "The minister does not mean that the emperor cannot hand over to Ling Guogong to do, but that Ling Guogong should not accept this kind of thing..."

"Okay, needless to say..."Zhu Houxi waved his hand and sighed softly. In fact, he had already guessed that Cui Yuan would be talking about this matter just now, but it was inconvenient for him to say this reason.

In fact, all this stems from the embarrassment of his vassal king entering Beijing to succeed to the throne, because Wuzong Zhu Houzhao did not leave an edict to designate any heir before his death, so Zhu Houxi was able to inherit the unification, which was actually the meaning of some other people. These people include Empress Dowager Zhang, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet at the time, Zhu Houxi believes that Guo Xun, the Duke of Lingguo, also contributed, even if he did not have the absolute right to speak at that time, but it was possible for him to have the right to participate, at least he represented that force.

But then the situation was different, because of the Great Rites Discussion incident, Zhu Houxi and Yang Tinghe completely fell out, Yang Ting and that group of old ministers were decisively useless, and later Mao Cheng and Jiang Mian gave themselves a headache, so they could only change the ministers' team. Empress Dowager Zhang is even more so, the contradiction of the Great Rites Discussion is largely aimed at her, although she is no longer capable of doing things to listen to the government, but she still needs to guard against her. Only new ministers are absolutely impossible, so Zhu Houxi must select some old ministers who "know the current affairs", and Guo Xun became a very important chess piece at this time.

It's not that Guo Xun did a good job that made Zhu Houyu trust him abnormally, but that Zhu Houyu had a helplessness about Guo Xun. He needs Guo Xun to appease those clan forces in the capital, after all, he is an "outsider", and who can he tell as an emperor about all this helplessness?

"In this way, you summon Xia Yan and tell him that he doesn't have to go back to his hometown first, just wait in this capital." Zhu Houxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him for a moment, "There are many famous doctors in the capital, if it really doesn't work, call a few doctors from the Tai Hospital to take a look at him..."

"Yes..."When Cui Yuan heard this, he understood Zhu Houxi's intentions. He asked Xia Yan to stay in Beijing first, naturally with the intention of using it again. And the attitude towards Guo Xun is self-evident, it must be jealous! But it's not enough to be jealous, Cui Yuan knows that he must strike while the iron is hot, "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty think should happen when the Duke of Ling Guo and Lord Wang neglect their government?" ”

"I can't forget this, I was about to talk about this..."Zhu Houxi leaned back on his seat, his middle finger knocked on the handle with golden light from time to time, "Although Wang Tingxiang explained in time, the tone of his tone... It's quite sincere, but this responsibility for neglecting government is not something that can be avoided, and I see that he is getting older, so let's just let him go. Guo Xun... Let's continue to recuperate in the house, and if I don't call him, he won't go back to the court. Hehe... My handling of Wang Tingxiang is also a lesson for him, so let him reflect on it himself..."

"Your Majesty, is that all?" Cui Yuan listened to Zhu Houxi's order and couldn't help but be a little stunned. What kind of decision is this? The royal court admitted his mistake and was sincere, but you directly took away the officials. Guo Xun is disrespectful, you are quite forgiving, and what Wang Tingxiang said is a lesson for him. Co-authored by you, this is to set an example for chickens and monkeys, and Wang Tingxiang's role is to warn Guo Xun. It is estimated that Zhu Houxi sprinkled his anger on Guo Xun on Wang Tingxiang, it seems that above the officialdom, if there is really no power and no holy favor, promotion and demotion is really a matter between the emperor's thoughts.

"That's right, that's all..."Zhu Houxi didn't know the many thoughts in Cui Yuan's mind, "Actually, it's not a big deal, and the punishment for Wang Tingxiang is not light... It's just that because of this incident, there are many people in the DPRK who impeached him, and Yan Song is even more so. If you don't say anything, it will hurt the hearts of these diligent and capable courtiers..."

"Okay, then the minister will do it now..."Cui Yuan saluted Zhu Houxi, then turned around and went out, but he muttered in his heart: Wang Tingxiang was demoted, this is not a big victory, after all, Wang Yuan is not a big help compared to Cui Yuan. In this way, it was Yan Song, the old man, who benefited the most, not only took this opportunity to drive Wang Tingxiang out of the court, avenged the previous impeachment and exposure by Wang Tingxiang, but also took the opportunity to establish a loyal and diligent image in front of the emperor, of course, this is also thanks to his well-written chapter. Moreover, he gave a lot of moral whipping to Wang Tingxiang in the recital, but he didn't say a word about Guo Xun's approach, which really didn't offend either end.

"Alas, it seems that it is really not easy to defeat Guo Xun this time..."Cui Yuan sighed in his heart again, and at the same time thought about whether it was worth it for him to "wade" into the troubled waters. In fact, why didn't he know about the battle between Guo Xun and Xia Yan? How could he be so entangled with Guo Xun because of a dispute over several shops? It's not for this long-lost rare power. To be honest, he and Guo Xun have old grudges, and the root cause is that Guo Xun is favored and he is excluded. Now that Guo Xun is about to be unlucky, how can Cui Yuan let go of this opportunity? Power is such a good thing, even if you don't taste it, you don't want to let go of it after you get into it. During these days, due to Xia Yan and others, he had the opportunity to contact the center of power, and Cui Yuan didn't want to leave again, although he was already very old, but he could enjoy a moment is a moment. Guo Xun, for my own sake, I want to get rid of you too!
