Empress Dowager Qian is about to return to politics and retire, although she doesn't want to be Wu Zetian, but she is still a little sensitive, and the sense of loss of imminent loss of power lingers in her heart.

Seeing that the ministers were so inconsiderate and uncooperative, and swept her face again and again, Empress Dowager Qian's stubborn rebellious psychology attacked. In the past ten years, she has been modest and self-restrained, and she has been tolerant of ministers, but these ministers don't miss it at all, and she is ungrateful and embarrassed!

This is also the difference in concept between the monarch and the minister. Empress Dowager Qian believes that she has made a contribution, giving and sacrificing a lot. But in the eyes of the ministers, the Empress Dowager of Qian exercised imperial power, so it is a matter of course to accept advice and treat the subjects well, and the king should be like this...

The words are far away, but it is said that Li You's companionship is in the heart of the Empress Dowager Qian, first, Li You's official position is an important bargaining chip, which secretly involves the placement of the Qian family after her retirement; Second, her dignified Empress Dowager Bingzheng worked hard, and even Li You couldn't avoid a small five-grade product, how did this breath come out?

What's more, she has always sought to solve the problem within the existing political framework that has become a convention, but due to the fetters of the ministers, it just can't be solved! Then I have to throw off the existing framework and rely on the monarchy and overlord to make a bow, do the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to fight to the end for just one Li You?

Sometimes, politics is a contest of patience, but Empress Dowager Qian has little time left in power and is no longer patient. As the only two people who are beyond the law of her subjects, even if she can't help others, who can help her?

When Li You received the news from the priest, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was waiting for this moment! It's not easy, on the one hand, he provokes the Queen Mother openly and secretly, and on the other hand, he has to put on a look like he can't get along with the Duke of Wei to show others, and he keeps taking advantage of the situation to build momentum, and finally looks forward to the Queen Mother coming out of this step.

This is the first time that the Queen Mother bypassed the cabinet and directly issued an edict to the six departments for political affairs, breaking the tacit agreement not to issue a decree for ten years, which is extremely unusual.

In a day or two, the news spread all over the dozens of yamen inside and outside the Beijing Division!

The officials who received the edict were like picking up a hot potato. The six branches can refute the edict, which is a model of low authority, but this power is used with caution, because once it is used, it is equivalent to directly slapping the monarch in the face.

History books flaunt that praise is naturally to make dragon faces and criticize dragon scales, but it takes a lot of courage to fall into this kind of opportunity and become a choice in reality. Because you can't predict what the consequences will be, because you can't guess what the price will be, because you don't know if it's worth it.

Like Li You did last time, he became famous all over the world after two strokes of the court staff, and then changed places to continue to be an official, and returned to Beijing for more than a year.

But the problem is, you can't be sure that it's just like this, it is not necessarily Li You who has been belittled by the court staff, or it may be Yang Shen who has been degraded for decades and died of old age in Yunnan.

Among the Taoist officials, there is a difference between the imperial history and the matter, and the responsibility for the words and things in the imperial history is smaller, just say and do, and the retreat is not pragmatic, and you can be a little unscrupulous.

However, in charge of reviewing the edict and the six departments of the department, it is necessary to do practical things, and the power is greater, the responsibility is greater, and the consequences are more serious, so it is necessary to be more cautious. This is also the reason why the branch is ranked in front of the road in the title of the department, which is also a clear stream, and the six branches are still slightly higher than the imperial history.

There were a total of four people in the matter, and Wang Wenxu discussed it with everyone during the matter, and decided to act safely first. The edict can't be issued, but it is obvious that the Queen Mother is still angry, so it is better to follow the golden mean. For the time being, the edict will be left in Corey, dragged without refutation or formal copying, and only passed on the contents, and see how all parties react. …,

On the morning of August 27, as expected, a series of eight imperial history recitals were presented to the Cisheng Palace and placed in front of the Empress Dowager Qian.

The metaphor of supervising the imperial history is definitely different from the solo performance of the imperial history, and it can be regarded as a sign of a serious situation in the politics of the dynasty.

Everyone in the court knows that when you look at the book of supervising the imperial history, you must first look at the name of the person, then think about who is behind the name, and finally look at what the content is.

Empress Dowager Qian glanced at the eight notebooks in front of her, and she could guess what the contents were without opening them, and the biggest mystery was actually who made these notebooks. Moreover, she had just issued an edict to the sixth branch yesterday, and she had a recital this morning, and it seemed that she had premeditated it so quickly.

There are hundreds of imperial histories in the imperial court, and the mountains are complicated, unless they are extremely active or have done great things, where does Empress Dowager Qian have the energy to remember everyone's sects one by one. He sent an order to summon the eunuch Mai Chengen, the master of ceremonies, and asked him to help identify it.

Before Mai Chengen's arrival, Empress Dowager Qian skimmed through a few chapters

"Rumors abound in the south of the city, and the relatives are criticized everywhere, and I heard that Our Lady does not verify the rumors and distinguish between right and wrong, but insists on reprimanding the virtuous, how can she convince people? Advise Our Lady not to act immorally! ”

"There are two parties to everything, why only remove Li You from his official position? This is a very unfair example of reward and punishment, how can the lord of man be mediocre like this, may Our Lady change it when she hears it, and think that it is the law of the world! ”

"When Our Lady heard that Li You was wrong, if she got the treasure, she couldn't wait, and she would like to get rid of it as soon as possible. Those who are kings should not be narrow-minded, and their hearts should accommodate all things! ”

After a night, Empress Dowager Qian's mentality was actually slightly calmer, but when she saw the hateful faces that were straight and sprinkled, as well as words such as immorality, mediocrity, and intolerance, the anger in her heart rose again.

When Gonggong Mai arrived, after turning over the imperial history chapter, he chose the key point and played to the queen mother: "Fan Zhong is the head of Henan Province and the imperial history, and he was recommended by Guide Chitose in the past. ”

What the?! Empress Dowager Qian felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. Forget about others, even your own daughter wants to fish in troubled waters? Time is still so tightly grasped! Do you want to betray your relatives and leave your relatives?

Taking a few deep breaths, she stabilized her mood and ordered: "Summons the eldest princess to meet her!" ”

One of the rumors of the temple: at noon on August 27, the ninth year of Jinghe, the eldest princess of Guide entered the Cisheng Palace to meet the queen mother, and at that time she was outside the palace. Later, I saw that the eldest princess's face was pale, and she came out of the palace with negative anger, which seemed to be not harmonious.

Temple rumor 2: On August 27, the ninth year of Jinghe, Li Baixian entered the Ten Princes' Mansion to meet the eldest princess of Guide, and at that time he kept others outside the palace. Later, I saw Li Yanxian's face was pale, and he came out of the hall with a negative anger, which seemed to be not harmonious.

Not to mention the rumors, in the afternoon of the same day, after the eldest princess of Guide left, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, who was very angry, issued two more edicts and sent them to the six departments, this time the military department and the official department sat on wax together.

The first edict sent the military department, and the Empress Dowager directly sent Wei Guogong as the governor of the Chinese army, the governor of the left capital, and the admiral to patrol and arrest the five battalions; The second edict was sent to the official department, and Huang Jian, the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple, was also the commander of the five cities of the soldiers and horses!

It is said that the governor's mansion of the five armies is the private land of the nobles, and the empress dowager has nothing to blame, but in this sensitive situation, this move is full of demonstrative, not to mention the special official position of the commander patrolling the five battalions. Within the nine gates, except for the Son of Heaven's guards guarding the imperial city, the five patrol battalions were the most powerful!

Huang Jian's appointment also showed the meaning of the queen mother's ruin, and even the imperial history of the school inspector who was still in Li You's hands was gone, and directly let Huang Jian concurrently serve as the governor of the five cities with the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, which was clearly intended to get rid of the imperial history of the city patrol and turn the five-city soldier and horse division system responsible for the security of the capital division into a place for his own relatives! …,

Those who are rich in associative power have already remembered that if the archers, fire armor, and officers and soldiers of the five battalions of the Five Cities are all under the direct command of the honorable nobles and are subject to the royal remote control, what would this look like?

You must know that back then, only the Jinyi Guard and the Dongchang Eunuch had once commanded the Soldiers and Horses Division and patrolled the Yingchuan, which was known to be pervasive, which made people feel different.

After yesterday's incident, I don't know how many people pay attention to the six subjects. After the content of these two edicts came out, public opinion was in an uproar again. After Li Xiang's fuse, the Queen Mother was definitely angered by the imperial historians today, and she actually made a bigger ruthlessness! More and more trouble!

The fastest response was the inspection of the right of the school, the imperial history of Li You, who deserves to be the pioneer of the anti-honor and noble rush that has emerged recently. The Empress Dowager's new edict was only in the afternoon, and Li You handed the transcript to the General Administration Department that night, and as a Taiyuan official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it can be described as a model of conscientiousness.

In the early morning of the 28th, as soon as the palace gate was opened, the General Administration Department handed over the transcript to the eunuch in the clerical office of the celebrant outside the gate of the Huiji.

Li You's recital was not sealed, and the spread soon became a weather vane.

When the news of his recital spread, many people were still thinking about how to write a recital to gain prestige. Someone laughed and said: "Yesterday was his own official, and it was inconvenient for Lord Li to ask for hope." Seeing that the other imperial histories were sparse, he must have endured hunger and thirst and itchy hands, just afraid that he would concentrate on waiting for today's affairs to be done. ”

The one who arrived at Cisheng Palace earlier than Li You's song was Qian Tai, the brother of Empress Dowager Qian, Marquis of Xinning.

Although this Hou Ye is also greedy, he is smarter than his other uncle, Qian An, and after hearing about his sister's edicts forcibly sent to the Six Branches yesterday, he has never slept well at night.

He waited outside the palace gate early this morning, and when he opened the door, he asked to see the queen mother, and persuaded bitterly: "My brother and sister are honored to the extreme, everyone can enjoy wealth and prosperity, why fight with courtiers." ”

"The power of the mourning family to act as the emperor's master, even Li You can't withdraw it, take this as an example, how can the emperor rule the world in the future!"

Xin Ninghou sighed secretly, isn't it just that you feel that your face is dull and you want to get back your face? He also strongly persuaded: "If you are angry with the courtiers and plant mustard, they can't help you, but after a hundred years, they will leave disaster to my Qian family!" Don't think twice! ”

The queen mother reprimanded angrily: "When you were fighting for the marquis, I didn't see you say that? Why didn't you worry about angering the courtiers then! Could it be that you can only share wealth and prosperity? ”

As he spoke, it happened that Li Youzuo was sent to his hand, and Empress Dowager Qian opened it to read it. Structurally, it is a clear three-part arrangement.

In the first paragraph, the facts are reasonable.

"The official who seizes the minister, but he is the governor of the five cities, and the minister does not dare to complain. But then I heard that Our Lady was supervising the five cities and patrolling the five camps with her honors, and I thought that this move was very inappropriate!

Officials of the Holy Dynasty must have the theory of avoiding their hometown nationality, and they must not be officials from their own nationality. so as not to implicate one's own family and have partiality, shield thieves and harbor criminals, and divide the place in response to the imperial court.

Therefore, if the official is the official of the original nationality, the harm will be intensified, and Emperor Taizu strictly forbids it. The relatives of each family, who have lived in Beijing for generations, have many century-old families, flourishing branches and leaves, and have become the same as Beijing! Dare to ask the officials who govern the people, all of them avoid it, why don't the relatives avoid it? Why did Our Lady appoint her relatives as governors of the city? ”

In the second paragraph, she was accused of having problems with the old man's morality.

"Billions of trillions in the world are all subjects, why should the Queen Mother love Xungui alone. It must be known that there are many illegal people in Beijing, and the queen mother wants to govern Beijing with Xunqi, which is no different from seeking skin with the tiger, and I am afraid that she will become the laughing stock of the country! Or it is said that the Virgin protects the relatives and does evil. Therefore, this is short-sighted, governing a country with the law of one family, and the ministers dare not be the same! ”…,

In the third paragraph, correction is requested.

"Fu Wei prays that the Virgin Mary will be reformed and self-disciplined, then the Ming Dynasty will be very fortunate and the world will be very happy!"

Seeing the glaring words and phrases such as shielding relatives, doing evil, short-sightedness, reform, and self-discipline, Empress Dowager Qian angrily threw the song on the face of the Marquis of Xinning, and shouted: "Look at how others slander the mourning family, do you also want to work hard to persuade the mourning family to settle things!" ”

When the courtiers saw the copied content of Li You's recital, they all applauded.

The first is to applaud Li You's courage. He knew that he was a thorn in the side of the Empress Dowager Qian, and the backer of the court had already left, and in the precarious situation, he still had to commit Yan Jin's admonition, and with those sharp words, he could be regarded as a true man and courtier!

The second is to applaud Li You's rebuttal. This omission is justified and well-founded, and a new development has been made theoretically, and the system of recusal of village registration has been moved out to refute the appointment of honorable relatives. The advice is new and the level is indeed much more clever than empty talk.

Within a day, dozens of letters quoted Li You's theory of avoidance and were sent to the secretary's office. But these latecomers can't enjoy the glory and treatment of Li Youzuo.

Although Lord Li has faintly become the mouthpiece of civil officials in this court dispute, and it is rare that everyone has attracted attention, but when it is seriously investigated, it is actually the mentality of lively idlers who cheer for Lord Li. People who are close to Li You are all implicitly worried, even if Li You builds momentum to protect himself, this is a bit of a big game.

In just three days, two of the Empress Dowager's decrees and two waves of advice appeared one after another, just when all the courtiers were dazzled by this, the Empress Dowager Cisheng still bypassed the cabinet and issued an edict to the six branches for the third time in three days!

This edict,! The tone appointed seventeen sons of Xun Qi as the official positions of Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Hongsan Temple, Shangbao Division, Pedestrian Division and other yamen!

Although it does not involve the most core ministries and departments, and most of them are loose officials who don't care about things, it is still sensational to teach seventeen in one breath without going through the ministers! The edict is indeed an edict, covered with the edict of the emperor's great treasure, and there is no possibility of internal supervision falsifying the edict!

When the news came out, the public opinion couldn't be more uproar, which clearly showed that the Queen Mother had broken through the south wall and would not look back, and she would go all the way to the black with the strongest attitude!
