Chapter 773: A Cup of Wine Releases Imperial Power

readx;

As the representative of the princes, the king of Chu immediately spoke: "Chen Shimei, no matter what, instigating businessmen to strike the market and plotting against Sima Guang are all disrespectful crimes!" We can not pursue it, everyone will turn this page over, and someone will naturally come out to explain the matter, and it has nothing to do with you. What do you think of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info? ”

Chen Yuan waved his hands away: "I'm not afraid of the crime of disrespect, it's the emperor today, and the person sitting on the throne wants to use me Chen Shimei to make a sword!" ”

When he said this, a guy poured wine into the wine glass in front of him, and Chen Yuan drank it all in one gulp: "Is I, Chen Shimei, used it for surgery?" ”

didn't speak, everyone knew that this Chen Shimei was powerful, and this time he proved that he was not used for people to operate.

Chen Yuan smiled lightly: "Everyone should know very well that when I went to Gaochang, I had already told the emperor that I would go to Qiongzhou, and I left all the money to the Great Song Dynasty, which is interesting enough, right?" Don't let me go like that?! ”

Ouyang Xiu suddenly sighed and said, "Shimei, after all, it was Su Xiaoyou's matter that involved you in the first place!" The emperor should blame you! ”

Chen Yuan patted the guy behind him: "Pour wine for Lord Ouyang." ”

Ouyang Xiuyi shook his head: "I don't drink, I'm not in the mood." ”

Chen Yuan was not reluctant, and poured himself a cup: "Lord Ouyang, what did you say after I did Pang Ji?" If any of you here stood up at that time to speak for Ponji, I am now at his mercy! ”

No one stood up, Pang Ji's reputation was extremely poor at that time, and everyone was busy smashing stones after Chen Yuan knocked him down. Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Ouyang Xiu suddenly felt that it was indeed unfair to blame Pang Ji's death on Chen Shimei alone.

Chen Yuan continued: "Su Xiaoyou's death is unjust! Was the emperor angry with Su Xiaoyou? I tell you, whoever singles out this matter should be responsible for the emperor's death! This time I originally wanted to slaughter Fan Chunyou, but if it weren't for Boss Fan's face, he would have been a corpse by now! ”

Xia Zhu waved his hand: "Chen Shimei, don't be impulsive, everyone's view of things is different." You think you've been wronged, and we think you've gone too far. If nothing else, you let the thousands of people in Huyanqing disguise themselves as merchant ships and stay on the pier in Bianjing, which is already a big crime of the Zhujiu clan. What do you want? ”

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, he thought that this matter was very hidden, but he didn't expect Xia Zhu to know. The princes next to them were also in an uproar.

Chen Yuan reacted very quickly: "I have no choice, all the princes gathered their families and said that they wanted to greet me when I entered the city gate, so I naturally found a few brothers to greet me." ”

He is purely a strong argument, he called Yanqing to come first, and these princes gathered their families behind.

Xia Zhu smiled at him slightly, and did not dismantle him: "I don't want to pursue this, now I just want to know, do you say you will leave?" What are the conditions? ”

King Chu also said: "We don't want to make things like that, if you are willing to stop, there is nothing wrong with everyone being harmonious." ”

Chen Yuan knew that Xia Zhu was giving himself a step down, and he didn't force himself up the alley, so his tone eased a little. Slowly sat down on the chair: "Okay, since I'm here to see you, I just don't want to make things happen to the last step." To put it mildly, I helped the emperor to lay down this country, I have more feelings for this country than Zhao Shu, and I don't want to see her ruined. ”

Xia Zhu nodded: "It's best if you think like this." The princes can come, but they don't want to continue to make trouble. When everyone sits together, there is sincerity. ”

Chen Yuan picked up his wine glass: "Okay, let's talk while drinking." ”

No one paid attention to him, he took a sip by himself: "The first condition, Zhao Shu must step down, I can't give him a chance, so that he can think about taking me next time, you must agree to this condition, otherwise, there is nothing to talk about." ”

Xia Zhu nodded: "I have discussed this with the princes, from the period of time when the emperor was in power, it seems that there is indeed a problem with his character, we will go to the book with the princes, and make a move under the auspices of the queen mother." The princes have decided to choose another person from the clan. ”

Wen Yanbo was stupid when he heard this, the ministers jointly signed it, the princes proposed, and the queen mother presided over it. When did Zhao Shu become so unpopular?

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled: "Good, good!" It is rare for the princes to be so considerate of their subordinates, so that I can say the second condition. ”

There was a smile on his face: "This second condition may be a bit harsh, who will inherit the unification is a matter decided by the princes and the queen mother, and the ministers should not talk too much, but the ministers are always worried that if the selected person is not as good as Zhao Shu, not to mention that I am unwilling, I am afraid that the emperor will not turn a blind eye under Jiuquan." ”

Xia Zhu is going to cooperate with Chen Yuan, and the reason why he helps Chen Yuan is because he has taken a fancy to Chen Yuan's second condition! This second condition can bring great benefits to the scholars! If you succeed in doing it yourself, you will inevitably become a generation of bright faces who will go down in history.

"Chen Shimei, with the wisdom of the former emperor, when the vision is like a torch and the strategy is far-reaching, there is still the wrong person, what we can do is to do our best, as for the future, the old man can't guarantee you. If you say that you must see that the emperor elected by the princes is a virtuous monarch before you are willing to leave, the old man should doubt the sincerity of your coming this time. ”

Many princes in the room nodded their heads one after another, agreeing with what Xia Zhu said. The most difficult thing in this world is to see people, and they know very well in their hearts that as far as the children in their families are concerned, they can't seem to find those who are virtuous.

Chen Yuan smiled at everyone's questioning gaze: "I naturally won't be like that, as long as Zhao Shu comes down, I will leave Bianjing immediately, and this will not change." Let's be honest, this time I knew I was going too far. ”

He finally said what the princes wanted to hear now, whether it was from the heart or not, the expressions of the princes and the ministers eased slightly.

Chen Yuan sighed: "Please believe me, I really don't want to make things come to this point." But there is no way, he is the emperor, he can do whatever he wants, I don't even have the right to argue, I can only fight with him once if I want to live. ”

This is also the truth, the emperor has the greatest power, and the whole world is owned by the emperor. Although the Song Dynasty was quite enlightened, and those ministers were often able to prevent the emperor from doing things they didn't want the emperor to do, their methods were too tragic, and they were still dead in addition to death.

Either like Chen Yuan, fight with Emperor Lao Tzu!

Chen Yuan can fight because he has this strength, and Zhao Shu has just come to power, and his strength is not strong, and his own mistakes gave Chen Yuan the opportunity to fight.

The king of Chu looked at Xia Zhu, obviously wanting to get some answer from Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu nodded inadvertently at King Chu, and then asked, "Chen Shimei, then what do you want?" ”

Chen Yuan touched his nose: "It's very simple, I hope the emperor's power can be somewhat restrained!" In the future, if there is a person like me who is dissatisfied with the emperor, no matter what the reason, right or wrong, there must always be a place to reason. ”

Xia Zhu didn't answer him immediately, but looked at the King of Chu, and the King of Chu's brows furrowed, this is a good thing, everyone knows it. But it's not a good thing to do, what is the emperor? That's the Son of Heaven! Son of Heaven.

They never thought that someone could restrain the emperor, but now Chen Yuan suddenly brought it up, which really surprised everyone.

Wen Yanbo, who was standing behind Xia Zhu, immediately said: "Chen Shimei! Don't be so rebellious! ”

Wen Yanbo is in a very bad mood, Zhao Shu is already determined to step down, what Zhao Shu will do in the future has nothing to do with all the people here, but it has something to do with Wen Yanbo. His daughter is now Zhao Shu's queen, and how her daughter's life will live in the future is a trivial matter, but Wen Yanbo is sure that the next emperor will definitely not reuse Zhao Shu's father-in-law.

So hearing Chen Yuan's words, his anger and despair suddenly found an outlet.

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Maybe what I said is not very clear, and I want to cause some misunderstanding to Lord Wen." I didn't think about limiting the emperor's power, and I didn't dare to do that kind of rebellious thing. In this case, I will ask you to consider the ideas I have directly said. ”

"What I mean is that you princes, as well as senior old people like Xia Xiangguo, form an organization, when the emperor deals with the ministers, if the ministers are not satisfied, they can find you to appeal. And you have the right to ask the emperor to change the decision he made. ”

Chen Yuan said here and took another sip of the wine glass: "This is not just for the sake of the future, just like Lord Xiangguo said, we have no way to guarantee the future, so we can't put all the hopes in the future on one person." ”

This statement can obviously make the princes accept it. The bottom line of the princes is that the power of the old Zhao family cannot be lost.

As long as Chen Yuan doesn't touch this bottom line, the princes can still consider it.

At first, Chen Yuan wanted to simply come to a parliamentary system, but then he thought that it would not work, there would be too much resistance to doing so, and these princes would play with themselves if they didn't do well, and they would turn too fast at once, and the scholars might not be able to keep up with their pace.

So, let's start with a royal cabinet. It's up to your family to decide, and all of us work for your family.

Xia Zhu is very much in favor of this proposal, he has been a minister for a lifetime, he naturally knows the pain of being a minister, that is, the emperor's words cannot be changed, even if it is wrong, the ministers must implement it, at most, like Fan Zhongyan, he will not be able to come to death at every turn.

Death advice, this is a glorious thing in the eyes of some scholars, but how much helplessness is hidden behind this glory? How many blood tears. How many Fan Zhongyan can the Great Song Dynasty produce? Besides, if Renzong can listen to it, there will be soil for Fan Zhongyan to survive.

If someone can really make the emperor change his decision, as Chen Yuan said, then it will be beneficial for all scholars to make death advice a thing of the past.

Xia Zhu felt that his enthusiasm seemed to be burning again, he looked at the King of Chu on the side, and asked in a low voice, "King Chu, what do you think?" ”

The king of Chu did not dare to make his own decisions, after all, this was a nascent affair, restricting the emperor, which no one had ever done before.

King Li on the side thought for a moment: "I think it's okay, but how to do it?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head lightly: "That's your business, and the lower officials don't dare to participate." ”

When the princes heard him say this, they nodded one after another. Seeing that everyone agreed, the king of Chu immediately sat up straight: "Okay, we will also agree to this one." ”
