Chapter 129: It's hard to ride a tiger
Seeing that the official family asked about the Ministry of Water, the Ministry of Water originally had no officials, but it was just a few officials under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry to discuss, which was not a problem, and it was quickly passed.
Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi was still a little surprised. At this moment, I saw that the imperial historian Wang Huaji stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister said that he heard the rumors in the market today, and it is very unbearable!" β
Seeing that Yu Shi, who specializes in biting people again, stood up, many people hurriedly tightened their backs, this Wang Huaji is known as a clichΓ©. Because of Wang Huaji's old appearance, although Zhao Pu recommended him to the top, the official family is still very important.
In less than three months, he showed his responsibilities as the imperial historian, Zhang Zhe, a member of the military department, Liu Song in the criminal department, and Wang Fan, a foreign officer, have all been dismissed and exiled from Beijing.
This kind of impeachment efficiency is very amazing, basically one is killed every month, and the officials of the six ministries are killed. Now that I heard these words, everyone speculated who this Wang Huaji was going to impeach.
But I heard Wang Huaji continue: "Your Majesty, the minister heard rumors in the market, and it was said that there was food in the sky before, and the people said that it was the consequence that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a prince!" Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to appoint the Crown Prince as soon as possible! β
It was said that there was an eclipse in the sky before yesterday, that is to say, the day before yesterday, there was an eclipse, and this eclipse was an astronomical spectacle in the later generations, and many people went to see it.
However, in the Great Song Dynasty, it was a sign that the emperor's virtue was lacking, because the emperor was the son of heaven, the son of heaven. Now that the sun in the sky is obscured, of course this is a big deal.
If it comes two or three times in a row, oh no, if it comes two or three times a year, the emperor will have to issue an edict to reflect. It is recorded in the historical records that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a year when every two months, and there was a meal every two months, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hurriedly issued an edict and reflected on it.
Now to talk about this is to imply that the official family is degrading in virtue, well, if you admit it, then it's okay, and you can repent of it. If you don't admit it, you're doing something wrong. What is wrong now, it is nothing more than that you are more than forty years old, and you have not yet established a reserve, which is a wrong thing.
Therefore, Wang Huaji proposed to establish a reserve!
Before Zhao Guangyi could react, many people stood up, this time not to ask for the crown prince, but to say who would be the crown prince.
Zhao Guangyi looked at the courtiers who basically supported King Wei, and Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. Seeing this, Zhao Pu saw that the official's face sank like water, and knew that things were not good. But now in the atmosphere of the court, the officials are also feeling the pressure!
The forbidden recitals, box by box, are all recitals that require the king of Wei to be the crown prince, thinking of these, Zhao Guangyi is unhappy.
Seeing that the hall was full of heads, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but the last court meeting was still vivid, Zhao Guangyi suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "All the ministers want to discuss the establishment of the King of Wei, I hesitate for a while, but there are dissenters?" β
Zhao Pu stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince, the foundation of the country, once the prince is established, it must not be shaken. The minister thought that King Chen should be the prince. Chen Wang is smart and intelligent, and he is the image of the hero! β
Seeing Zhao Pu speak, Zhao Guangyi cheered up in his heart, but he still felt passive in his heart. Thinking of the prime ministers of this political hall, while supporting one, it is still flat. Zhao Guangyi looked at several prime ministers, and suddenly had an idea, if this continues, the imperial court is in danger of getting out of control, so it is time to add a few governors to balance the power.
Originally, in the next development, as long as it was Li Fang, Shen Lun's opinions were the most important. Li Fang is still stubborn and insists on supporting Zhao Yuanzuo.
However, Hu Dan on the left, Zhao Changyan on the right, Chen Xiang, Dong Yan, etc., the pioneers who supported Zhao Yuanzuo last time, stood up this time and said: "After the ministers go back, they think about it carefully, and feel that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty should be handed over to virtuous people, so that they can cope with the revelation of God!" This revelation is the matter of eating.
Suddenly, Zhao Guangyi felt that his head was big, why did these people's attitudes change so much all of a sudden? Could it be that Li Mu was punished, which made them feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died?
I can't say, I can only look at Li Fang's statement. But Li Fang was unmoved, and still asked Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of the emperor, to be the crown prince. However, the number of people who responded was not as large as the last pilgrimage.
Shen Lun took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is benevolent and righteous, and has reached a deep level of attainment in civil and martial arts, and has served the court for many years, so he is a rare candidate for the prince!" β
As soon as Shen Lun said this, more than seventy percent of the officials in the entire imperial court already supported King Wei. Zhao Guangyi knows that now is the trend of the times.
Coupled with Lu Duoxun and Shen Lun, the two urged again and again, Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu's voice was very weak compared to these people.
And this matter, if it gets the resolution of the political hall, it is now two to one, and the probability of King Wei passing it is very high. Now the courtiers are all waiting for Zhao Guangyi to nod.
Suddenly, Zhao Guangyi thought for a while and said: "All the ministers here, there are many courtiers who are dedicated to the country and the Great Song Dynasty, but there are some people who are selfish and selfish. β
Zhao Tingmei's originally calm face began to flash some puzzlement, could it be that the official family is going to start playing tricks and change the topic? Or trouble with the courtiers. However, Zhao Tingmei is not afraid, the big deal is to demote a few officials who make the most trouble, and then he can get it back. The key is that we must finalize the matter of the establishment of the reserve today.
Zhao Guangyi said: "I have an account book in my hand, which records that from the Kaibao year to this year, a total of thirteen years, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government accepted bribes from Yuhang County Cheng Wei Zhongshu, the lord Bo Qian Weilun and others, and every one of them is recorded!" β
After speaking, he took out the account book from the tray held by the eunuchs next to him, and said: "This account book also has a very appropriate name, called the book of life and death!" Because it records the life and death of many people, as well as the future! β
Hearing this, there was silence in the court! Zhao Tingmei was shocked, could it be that this time she finally spent a lot of effort to discuss the things with the second prime minister Shen Lun, and it just changed?
This time, Zhao Tingmei found Shen Lun before and had already negotiated. Moreover, some of Li Fang's group of people were also pulled over, so that when the reserve was established in a round, it seemed to be a big word, and the trend of the times!
Seeing that he had the upper hand, a book of life and death appeared! Let Zhao Guangyi reverse the decline all of a sudden!
After a while, someone who reacted quickly first stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please hand over this account book to Dali Temple for processing!" "And this person is Lu Mengzheng!
followed by Hu Dan and others, these people really deserve to be the top talents! The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, most of the current middle-level officials are already Jinshi during the Taiping Rejuvenation period. And the previous officials are slowly coming to an end. This is also the reason why Shen Lun is so old and still takes risks to support King Wei. In order for the power of the old faction to rise.
However, these people who are now expressing their stance are all Jinshi during the Taiping Rejuvenation period, naturally they have not been in the officialdom for many years, and they are just petty officials at the beginning, and the probability of being bribed by others is very low, especially Yu Hang's bribe. That's why I stood up and took a stand.
For a while, the courtiers reacted, and now they support the official's decision, which is to secretly show that they are innocent. Thinking of this, many people stood up regardless of 3721 and asked the emperor to hand over the account books to Dali Temple for investigation and punishment!
However, Zhao Guangyi knew that this was impossible! There are sixty or seventy people on it, even if they are investigated and punished, I am afraid that this court will be empty, and how will the entire Great Song Dynasty still operate at that time?
Therefore, Zhao Guangyi will not be like this, which just fell into the strategy of these people! Soon, the courtiers all expressed their positions, demanding that this book of life and death be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation and punishment!
Zhao Guangyi said: "The former Yuhang County Cheng Wei Zhongshu, the main Qian Weilun and other relevant officials have committed suicide in fear of crime! I won't pursue it! Besides, Taizu also set rules back then, giving preferential treatment to scholars! The inscription that does not kill the doctor is still standing there! I don't dare to set such a precedent. In a few days, this book of life and death will be burned! β
After speaking, he asked Liu Lun, the eunuch who served, to find a fire candle and burn the book of life and death in court, which was a matter for many people.
The emperor is so benevolent and righteous, so naturally he wants to repay the favor. Now the emperor is anxious about the matter, which is nothing more than the matter of establishing the crown prince. But if he changes so quickly, then he must be on the list, isn't it that there are no three hundred taels of silver here!
Therefore, when discussing the crown prince again, many courtiers closed their mouths, but did not speak.
After all, Lu Duosun is the prime minister, no matter whether his name is on the book of life and death or not, he has to show his attitude now, which is also a statement that this position has to make. The higher you sit, the more painful you fall.
Lu Duosun said: "Your Majesty is merciful! However, the minister thought that the prince's proposal should be decided as soon as possible! β
Shen Lun also agreed! Zhao Guangyi scared off some officials because of the matter of life and death, and now the pressure is naturally not so great, and he can still deal with it easily!!
However, Zhao Tingmei has been preparing for so long, how can she give up so much? Whether it's dead or alive, I'm going to fight for it today. Besides, the only one who supports Zhao Yuankan now is Li Fang. The one who supports Zhao Yuanyou is also a Zhao Pu. The rest of the people are deaf ears, ornaments, and now they dare not speak out again.
The third envoy Wang Renzhan came on the field, first explained the exploits of King Wei in detail, and finally said: "The minister thinks that the king of Wei is the crown prince, but he is following the edict of the Empress Dowager Mingxian!" The handwriting on the Golden Covenant is still dry. His Majesty obeyed the contents of the Golden Covenant and ascended to the throne. Do you have to go back now? β
This is really a heart-wrenching sentence! It is also in Zhao Guangyi's army! Zhao Guangyi suddenly couldn't get off the stage!
At this time, the officials of the three divisions jumped out, and Li Rui, the judge of the Duzhi branch, also said: "Your Majesty, the minister has heard that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished." If His Royal Highness the King of Wei had not complied with the edict of the Empress Dowager of Mingxian, the ministers would not have been able to ask for a prince for him, but now His Majesty is sitting on the dragon chair, but he has forgotten that His Majesty is also obeying the edict of the Jinkui Covenant? β
Zhao Guangyi listened, very not! It turned out that after Zhao Tingmei's death, it was the content of this Golden Covenant that suddenly made Zhao Guangyi fall into passivity! Fortunately, Zhao Tingmei didn't get the content of the covenant, and there was a glimmer of opportunity!
Zhao Pu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of this Golden Kui Covenant was there back then!" However, on the covenant, there is no handwriting of the throne and the king of Wei, and the content of the covenant is written by the ministers themselves, hidden in the golden skull, and it must not be forgotten! β
Seeing Zhao Pu come out, Zhao Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief, but now he is not agreeing, not agreeing!
Who knows, but Li Rui said: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Xiang said so, then the ministers ask Your Majesty to make the content of the covenant public, so that the ministers can be convinced!" β
Zhao Guangyi was stunned, if the content of the covenant was really made public, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Zhao Pu? slapping Zhao Pu's face is equivalent to slapping his own face in disguise! And when the time comes, Zhao Tingmei must be appointed as the reserve.
Zhao Guangyi couldn't say it clearly, saying that the content of the Golden Kui Covenant had been lost, which made people even more suspicious that the covenant was destroyed by himself.
Zhao Guangyi was helpless, sighed secretly, and said, "I forgot the content of this covenant!" After the next dynasty, I will study it again! "It's a push-word trick.
Wang Renzhan said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this covenant is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and it should be examined in court now!" "The implication is that if you go back and make a fake one, then nothing will happen.
But Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to take it out at all, it seems that this is really a hot potato! And it has long been ruined by itself, how can you take it out now?
At this time, I saw the ministers kneeling, shouting long live, and then said: "Please Your Majesty make King Wei the crown prince!" The voice shook the sky, sending out the strongest voice of the Great Song Dynasty. It seems that this is the trend of the times! Suddenly made it difficult for Zhao Guangyi to ride a tiger! (To be continued.) )
