Chapter 880: Against the Sky (II)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Feng Bao was in the side hall of the Imperial Palace, and he wanted to watch the enemy defeat with his own eyes to vent his hatred. Who knew that there was a change, Shen Mo refused to accept the order, but wanted to see the emperor face to face to confirm that this time Gonggong Feng regretted his bowels, and he was extremely annoyed why he did not let Zhang Juzheng accept the order.
He had deliberated repeatedly in advance, considering that the cabinet was already a place where seniority was discussed, and the words that went over the silence and directly gave Zhang Juzheng would be even more controversial, and it would undoubtedly offend the second assistant...... Feng Bao knew that this Shen Ge Lao, who was silent and golden, was more terrifying than Gao Gong who was biting people everywhere. Dealing with Gao Gong has already made him take off a layer of skin, and it took a lot of effort to survive, and now he is exhausted, how can he have the courage to fight against a stronger opponent again?
Second, he was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng using himself as a gunman and letting him bear all the infamy and risks, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to give him some color and let him know that without his own support, he was actually nothing.
Of the three, Shen Mo is not a high arch, and he has no hostility towards himself, and he has visited twice and has been warmly received by him. Especially yesterday, Feng Bao pretended to be pitiful, saying that he was about to be killed by Gao Gong, and begged Shen Mo to save his life. said this, in fact, to test his attitude towards himself, but he agreed silently, and patted his chest and said: "With me, Gao Ge can't help you" Feng Bao was moved to tears. So in the end, it was decided to pass on the will to Shen Mo, which also meant that the emperor and the two palaces recognized him as the successor of the first assistant. I believe that even if he goes to Gao Gong, he will be able to be the first assistant, and Shen Mo will take care of his mouth and obediently accept the order.
In the future, the cabinet will be silent, Zhang Juzheng will be secondary, both of them will have to flatter themselves, thinking about the happy life in the future, Gonggong Feng will really dream and laugh.
However, the better the prediction, the more cruel the reality, Shen Mo not only obediently accepted the order, but also said those words that scared people to death with a big mouth. What does it mean to ask clearly what is indeed the Holy Will? Doesn't that mean, is it still possible that he is Feng Baojiao? This is the crime of stealing the nine clans
No matter how dull Feng Bao was, he understood Shen Mu's position - don't look at him usually being polite to himself, but at such a critical moment, he still bowed to the side of Gao Gong and stabbed himself in the face, without any ambiguity.
didn't care about complaining and being silent to repay virtue with grievances, he didn't even care about sitting in the sedan chair, and ran to the Qianqing Palace with the corners of his robe. In the Qianqing Palace, the two mothers were anxiously waiting for news. Seeing him sweating profusely, Concubine Li sighed in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, is it done?" ”
"Elder Shen Ge said that this will is not clear," Feng Bao said with a sad face: "I want to face the saint to confirm." ”
"Why is he?" Concubine Li Guifei was shocked and said, "Don't you want to be the first assistant?" ”
"Sister, where is the time to worry about him now," Empress Chen said: "Let's think about it, how to pass this level now." ”
"yes, what's going on?" Li Guifei looked at Feng Bao and complained: "It's all for you, a minion, why don't you think of a countermeasure?" ”
"Niangniang is a little restless," Feng Bao had no choice but to say: "Now there are three ways, one is to let him come in and make it clear to him in person." The second is not to see him, and then give him a sternly worded will, saying that it is a holy decree, let him not do too much, and the third is that he should ignore him and give an order directly to Zhang Juzheng. ”
Concubine Li and Empress Chen glanced at each other and whispered, "Let's follow the latter method." "The two ladies are good in the face of eunuchs and palace maids, because they have a sense of psychological superiority, but if they have to face those ministers who are wise and stubborn, they are really worried, so let's use the safest way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ministers in the square have been waiting for tea. During this waiting time, some subtle changes occurred, such as the faces of the officials, which were no longer blindly afraid at the beginning, but more angry, even resolute.
Just when the hundred officials were about to get impatient, the eunuch appeared again, and it was still that Zhao Cheng. Without looking at the angry officials, his gaze went beyond the silence and fell on Zhang Juzheng and said, "Mr. Zhang takes the order." ”
"The minister takes the order." Zhang Juzheng stepped forward on his knees and leaned over to receive the order.
"The Queen's Decree and the Emperor's Concubine's Decree: I said that Mr. Shen and the hundred officials knew that it was my mother and son's idea to expel Gao Gong. It's all because he holds power and governs arbitrarily, and he has no king, which makes my mother and son frightened day and night. As a second assistant, he is deeply favored by the country, and he should do his best to repay the Lord. How to attach to the ministers and despise the young master? From now on, cleanse your mind, and serve the Lord faithfully, and if there is any more such thing, you will be punished. The content is very similar to the previous one, except that there are more warnings and even threats.
After reading it, Zhao Cheng sent the will to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, you won't fail to accept the order, right?" ”
"......" Zhang Juzheng's face turned red, and he had already complained to Feng Bao to death in his heart - the original draft of this will was drawn up by himself, and the above ordered Gao Gong to 'not stay', that is, to cut through the mess quickly, because Zhang Juzheng knew how unpopular and hateful this matter was, so he had to take advantage of everyone's efforts to come and simply succeed in beheading. As for those rebounds, whether they are questioned or not, once the head of the company is gone, they will slowly clean up in the future.
But Feng Bao was self-righteous, and he still wanted to play the trick of stepping on two boats, and passed on his will to Shen Mo, but he was ruthlessly pitted by others, right? Now he is clever and wants to make amends, but the situation is very different from Fang Cai. Fang can still prevaricate with the suddenness of the incident and the lack of time to react, after all, everyone was stunned at that moment, how could they be demanding of the minister who received the order?
But now, the hundred officials have come to their senses, and they are angry with the same enemy for the indiscriminate order of the Central Order, and if they accept this will again, wouldn't they be self-defeating from their colleagues? Even if he succeeds in becoming the first assistant, this is a stain that can never be erased, and he will definitely torture himself for the rest of his life, and even let himself not be at peace after death
Too smart brains, too calm analysis, sometimes is the source of pain. Zhang Juzheng knew that after receiving this holy decree, he would become the target of a thousand people, but he could not give up, at least ten years, to become the de facto ruler of this country, enjoy the supreme authority, and wantonly sway the temptation of his life's ambitions. He no longer wants to be quiet, flattering, and subservient to others. A manly man must live happily and happily in order to live up to the good times of this life, even if the flood is monstrous after death
After making up his mind, Zhang Juzheng took a step forward on his knees, raised his hands, and resolutely said: "Minister, the edict ......"
Zhao Cheng's face showed a look of relief, and he handed the yellow silk scroll to him.
But just before Zhang Juzheng's words fell, and Zhao Cheng hadn't let go, he heard a broken shout from several people at the same time: "Slow" Zhao Cheng let go, Zhang Juzheng didn't catch it, and the scroll of Huang Aya's holy decree fell to the ground.
Zhao Cheng hurriedly picked up the holy decree, looked at a few troublesome Qipin officials with annoyance, and said: "Elder Zhang Ge, you subordinates who have read the books of sages and sages, are you so unruly" Saying that, he glanced at the square, and at some point, the brocade-clothed guards who quietly increased said boldly: "If you don't care, our family will teach you a lesson."
"Stand down." Zhang Juzheng turned his head and stared at the Yanguan of the Six Science Corridors with warning.
"We are in the middle of the six branches, you can't control it" Han Ji in the affairs of the officials, glanced at Zhang Juzheng contemptuously, turned his eyes to Zhao Cheng, and said: "According to the "Da Ming Law", 'the edict must be carried out by the six departments, and the divisions must be pursued, if there is something wrong, Xu Feng will also perform' Our six departments unanimously agreed that no matter whether this will comes from the two palaces or not, it has violated the constitution, so the six branches must exercise the power granted by the law of the ancestors and reject this will."
This manifesto, which was regarded as a classic in later generations, was born in this tense situation.
"It's a big rebellion" Zhao Chengmao, in his heart, isn't the emperor's words a golden rule, and the exit becomes a constitution, how can it still be dismissed? He seemed to be a cat that had been stepped on by his tail, and pointed at Han Ji and the others and jumped to his feet and said, "Come on, arrest these few bullies."
As soon as the words fell, the doors of the two sides of the Imperial Palace opened at the same time, and the two teams with white fur hats, wearing cyan round-necked shirts, black soap boots, and holding iron rulers and chains poured out.
The air in the square froze in an instant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The menacing Dongchang fans, when they rushed in front of the hundred officials, they stopped abruptly.
It was not that they suddenly discovered their conscience, but that in front of them and those six subjects, a human wall was set up -- Shen Mo, the second assistant of the cabinet, Yang Bo, the crown prince, Gao Yi, a scholar of Jinshendian University, Zhang Siwei, a scholar of Dongge University, Ge Shouli, the emperor of Zuodu, Tang Ruji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Mao Kai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry...... These highly respected first- and second-class officials stood in front of their subordinates. Even if Emperor Jiajing was reborn, it would be impossible to be rude to such a lineup
"What do you want to do" The situation is changing rapidly, it is completely out of control, how dare Zhao Cheng act rashly, he stopped the people of Dongchang, and said to the important ministers of the country: "They bully the king, do you also want to bully the king?" ”
"How did they deceive the king?" If you want to say that the most hated thing by civil officials, in addition to spy politics, it is spy politics, Ge Shouli, who is as fierce as fire, shouted angrily.
"They dare to refute the emperor's edict" Zhao Cheng was also anxious: "Isn't this a bully?" ”
"What is the name of the edict without going through the Fengge Luantai" Yu Zun shouted angrily: "Everyone in the world knows that for the emperor's edict, the six branches have the right to repeat and refute at any time, this is the power given by Taizu to the six branches, how can it be regarded as a bully"
"Yes, how can it be regarded as a bully" The officials asked loudly together, shocked Zhao Cheng's legs, and looked at Zhang Juzheng like a life-saving straw: "Elder Zhang Ge, you are commenting, is this considered a bully?" ”
Zhang Juzheng lamented in his heart, Shen Jiangnan was right, he was not afraid of god-like opponents, but he was afraid of pig-like teammates. Why did I get involved with you underdeveloped dead eunuchs? Pretending not to hear, he lowered his head and talked to the people next to him.
Seeing that there were no reinforcements at all, Zhao Cheng had no choice but to look at Shen Mo and said, "Shen Ge Lao, you have to take care of it......"
"I'll take your fanzi first." Shen Mo said coldly.
Zhao Cheng knew that in this situation, these fans were just decorations, so he waved his hand and let them come and go.
"Your father-in-law is so ignorant, Section Chief Han just said, they are in the middle of the six sections, and our cabinet can't control it, of course, you can't control it," Shen Mocai said slowly: "Since they have returned the edict, you will return the edict, what to do next, you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Hey......" Zhao Cheng listened attentively, and at first he couldn't help nodding, but when he heard it, his face became bitter melon and said: "Your idea, doesn't it mean that you didn't say it?" ”
"I'll just say something better." Shen Mo said lightly: "As long as I let this official enter the palace to face the saint, I will take care of this matter, and I don't have to worry about the two palaces, the emperor, and Gonggong Feng." ”
"Alas......" Zhao Cheng actually felt that what Shen Mo said was very reasonable, so he asked the hundred officials to wait, and he ran to the back again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the two ladies listened to Feng Bao's report, and couldn't help but gasp: "The civil official still has the right to refute?" Is Emperor Taizu confused? ”
Feng Bao said with a bitter face: "But there is indeed such a power, but the slave maid has gone through three dynasties, and no one has ever used it." ”
"Now it's clearly bullying our orphans and widows," Li Guifei said hatefully.
"What are we going to do?" Empress Chen said: "Now that they have torn their faces, they will definitely refute it if they make another decree." ”
"Hmm." Li Guifei thought for a while and said, "Why don't you meet Shen Ge Lao and listen to what he has to say?" ”
"No," Feng Bao said categorically: "Niangniang, why did we make up our minds yesterday to take risks and make a quick decision?" Isn't it just that Considering that the bearded man has been the ruler of the country for many years, he has cultivated many henchmen, and he has already had the influence to call for wind and rain, and now that he has used thunderous means and stripped him of his official position, he can no longer give him a chance to breathe and let him make trouble...... Silence this fang is the best at pouring people into ecstasy soup, if he is allowed to say a few clever words, the mother will soften his heart, let go of the horse surnamed Gao, let him take a breath, it will be an overwhelming counterattack" said with a finger outside and said: "Now, his students in the Liuke Corridor dare to risk the disapproval of the world, refute the emperor's holy decree and let them ease up when the time comes, and they will definitely not do anything and welcome the king of Zhou into the capital to restrain us."
"......" Concubine Li Guifei was frightened and stunned for a long time before asking, "What should I do?" In fact, she fell in love with Feng Bao again. Feng Bao didn't misestimate her, a lady from a deep palace and a woman from a small family, although she was shrewd by nature, she didn't know how to deal with the minister at all. She would never ask even a random minister to ask about the situation. Because thinking can only be convected among people at the same level.
I'd rather trust the villain than the minister, this is their fatal wound -
Partition -
I was so tired last night that I fell asleep while writing, sorry sorry......
