Chapter 902: Change, Bad News
As Guo Ye expected.
On the morning of the next day, above the court, it was really surging with wind and thunder, and the sky and earth changed color.
As soon as His Majesty Li Er proposed Li Ke, the king of Shu, as the crown prince, he was strongly opposed by the ministers.
The cries of opposition are really overwhelming, and the tide is higher and higher.
This time, the three factions of the court, which should have been separated, were surprisingly united, and collectively voted against the emperor on the matter of Li Ke, the king of Shu, as the crown prince, announcing the bitter fate of Li Ke, the king of Shu, who had no chance to take the throne.
First, the Tiance Mansion led by the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling took the lead;
and then Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and other old ministers who fought for their lives;
Finally, it was the finale of Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan, two old ministers of the Shilin Qingliu system.
In the matter of treating the King of Shu, the three families did not retreat and had a resolute attitude, and they only had three words for His Majesty Li Er, that is: disagree!
This really shocked His Majesty Li Er, he was stunned and helpless, and sighed secretly, could it be that Ke'er, this kid is the reincarnation of a broom star? Otherwise, how could such a grandmother not love her uncle and be so disgusted?
In the end, I don't know who reported to the Emperor Li Yuan, who was hiding in the deep palace to retire, and actually alarmed this old ancestor to the court.
Li Yuan, supported by the two eunuchs, trembled and came to the court to come to His Majesty Li Er, and he said to His Majesty Li Er: "Second brother, the Li royal family has no children and grandchildren? You are in the prime of life, and your heirs are luxuriant, why do you want to set up such a person with the blood of the former Sui as my Tang Prince? Do you want to let people change my Li Tang Jiangshan after a hundred years? If you dare to make him the crown prince, your father will die on the dragon pillar of this court, so that you will be infamous for being disloyal and unfilial, let you stink for 10,000 years, and let you have no face to see the ancestors of the Li family again. ”
As he spoke, he really threw the two eunuchs who were supporting him behind him, took off the crown to the sky, and put on a generous and resolute posture of not hitting the dragon pillar and vowing not to give up.
This really scared His Majesty Li Er, although he said that he loved face and reputation like cherishing feathers, but he was not so filial as to let his father die in front of him.
Without saying a word, he ran down from the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, almost fell and hurried to Li Yuan's side, and assured Li Yuan in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that he decided to dispel this idea.
With such a statement, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the Emperor Li Yuan were naturally happy.
And His Majesty Li Er was secretly sad, hastily retreated from the court, and returned to the harem to lick his wounds.
also because he was dismissed in public in the court, His Majesty Li Er was even more like Guo Ye, and he recuperated from illness for nearly five or six days.
Poor Shu King Li Ke, once again rubbed shoulders with the crown prince's throne, after learning the news, he not only broke a lot of precious antiques in the Shu Palace, but also wrote down the courtiers who opposed him one by one in the little black book, preparing him to take revenge on him in the future.
His grandfather Li Yuan was naturally regarded by him as a thorn in his side.
But for Guo Ye, he learned from Concubine Yang that Guo Ye actually supported him in front of his father, and he was really surprised.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were on Li Ke's blacklist, but Guo Ye was the only one outside, which can be regarded as Guo Ye's unintentional efforts to insert willows into the shade.
As Guo Ye guessed, Li Ke was guided by a master behind him. In the following days, Li Ke, who passed by the crown prince's throne, under the guidance of the masters, lived in a simple and low-key manner.
Because of His Majesty Li Er's resignation, Li Ke, the king of Shu, was dormant and forbearing, and the courtiers of the three families also knew that this time they were a bit ruthless in persecuting the emperor, so they all clamped their tails and behaved in a low-key manner.
It wasn't until seven days later that His Majesty Li Er suddenly received a bad news, and he had no choice but to open the early dynasty and convene the ministers to discuss the matter
Two hours after the early dynasty retreated, in the Yizhou Hou Mansion.
Guo Ye, who pretended to be sick and was lazy at home, neither went to the morning court, nor went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, was also broken by the arrival of his brother-in-law Chai Lingwen.
In Guo Ye's study, Chai Xiuxiu wiped her tears and sobbed vigorously, while Chai Lingwen said with a worried face......
After Chai Lingwen finished speaking, Guo Ye comforted Chai Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, don't cry, if you continue to cry, Xianggong and I really don't have a clue, even if I want to help, I can't help." ”
Chai Lingwen is a man in the end, although he was in a panic mood at this time, he also knew what the urgent need was, so he whispered to Chai Xiuxiu: "Sister, don't be sad first, things haven't reached the worst yet." You ask your brother-in-law to calm down and think about it first, otherwise it will be really too late if it drags on any longer. ”
Chai Xiuxiu stopped sobbing, choked with tears in her eyes, and said: "Husband, you really want to save your father, he is really unjustified and wronged this time." He was the big horse of the court, and he gave him the title of Huo Guogong, how could he do such a dirty thing? ”
Guo Ye snorted, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you go back to the room, I will sum up with Ling Wenxian." ”
After Wu Xiuxiu left, Guo Ye asked directly: "Lingwen, you tell me about the matter in Yong'an Village again, just now your little sister cried like a brother crying, I didn't hear it very clearly." ”
Chai Lingwen sighed, and said with a melancholy face: "The day before yesterday, the imperial mausoleum on the side of Yong'an Village suddenly collapsed before it was halfway repaired, and the craftsmen and people who were crushed under the ground suffered countless deaths and injuries. Among them, the superintendent Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, and the superintendent Zhao Mingde, the left waiter of the staff department, were stoned to death on the spot by the pouring stones and died in Huangquan. ”
"What? Boss Gao was unfortunately killed? ”
A bolt from the blue!
Guo Ye's whole person shook suddenly, almost not standing still, his mind was full of images of Gao Shilian's kindness and harmony to him on weekdays.
All kinds of bitter tastes came to my heart in an instant.
However, he still endured the pain in his heart when he heard the bad news, and went directly to the main question: "But what does this matter have to do with your father?" As far as I know, he went to Yong'an Village on the orders of the emperor, and even if he wants to be held accountable for the collapse of the imperial tomb, he can't catch up with him. ”
"Alas, this man is unlucky to get up and drink cold water and stuff his teeth."
After Chai Lingwen sighed, he said: "My father was ordered by the emperor to bring a message to Lord Gao, which is true. I was also present when the emperor was talking to my father that day, and the emperor said that Elder Gao had sent a letter to him, saying that the foundation of the imperial tomb had been laid, and the underground tomb was almost dug, and the emperor should send someone from the imperial family to check it to see if it met the emperor's requirements. However, because the emperor couldn't get out of his body, he couldn't drive Yong'an Village, so he told his father what he asked to listen to, and asked my father to run for him. No, it's such an unfortunate thing. ”
Guo Ye shook his head, still puzzled: "I still can't hear what this incident has to do with your father, it stands to reason that he was lucky to have survived the scene of the incident this time." Why is the emperor still held him accountable? ”
"Brother-in-law, listen to me," Chai Lingwen took a sip of the tea on the table and moistened his throat, and then said, "The bad news of Yong'an Village spread to Chang'an early this morning, and it has already alarmed Your Majesty to restart the early dynasty. In the early morning, when His Majesty burst into tears when he heard the bad news, an official of Dali Temple came out to play, saying that he received an anonymous report letter at dawn this morning, saying that the collapse of the imperial mausoleum in Yong'an Village was because someone was shoddy when purchasing stone and timber, and Zhao Feixuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was the person who held the power to purchase. The anonymous report letter said that the person who was in cahoots with Zhao Feixuan and introduced Zhao Feixuan to a shoddy supplier was my father. ”
"How is this possible?"
Guo Ye shouted in shock: "Although I don't like your father's personality, I don't believe that he would do such a thing. ”
Chai Lingwen smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, you don't believe what's the use?" When the emperor heard this, he was furious on the spot and ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to join forces to investigate the matter thoroughly. Moreover, Wei Ting, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately went to Yong'an Village to arrest my father and Zhao Feixuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and brought them back to Chang'an, and then went to the prison first, and then waited for the three divisions to try the case. Alas, it's really a disaster, and I don't know whose shameless subordinates framed our Chai family like this, and harmed my father like this. ”
"Lingwen, don't worry, wait for me to think about it, and figure it out."
Guo Ye calmed down suddenly, because he found that there were a lot of suspicions and mysteries in it, and everything seemed too abrupt and blunt, which was obviously framed by someone.
Boom!
Suddenly, the door of the study was knocked open by a soldier of the Hou Mansion, which startled Guo Ye and Chai Lingwen, and before Guo Ye could scold and reprimand, he suddenly saw the soldier shouting with a panicked face:
"Report to the Hou Ye, it's not good, the officials of Dali Temple broke into our Hou Mansion with more than a dozen officials, saying that they wanted to take you back to Dali Temple for questioning!!"
