Chapter 482: The Strange Martial Arts Palace
The ministers in the Wuying Hall watched you sing and I appeared, and they were surprised inexplicably, like clouds and mountains and fog covers, and like seeing flowers in the fog. k update
Why did Peng Ge Lao drive away the Chitose of Virtue? Peng Ge didn't say anything serious, why did the Queen Mother withdraw angrily? Li You angrily accused Peng Ge Lao of being a critic of his heart? Why was Peng Ge Lao's reaction so strange?
Now the princes standing in the hall are all figures from the court for many years, and they can all be aware of it, so they must have had a confrontation in the dark without seeing the light.
But what was going on, they couldn't see clearly, they could only vaguely feel a trace of sword light and sword shadow, and before anyone could catch the afterimage, it was extinguished.
Even who the two sides of the confrontation are, they can't figure their heels, could it be Li You and Peng Gelao, a pair of rivals?
Since it is so complicated and unclear, then the only option is to be cautious in words and deeds, and most people think that this is the basic skill to be able to stand in the temple without falling. In the court, there are often such moments that are completely confused, and every palace official must get used to this.
Only after Peng Ge Lao made that bold inference, he suddenly felt that his heart was like a mirror, looking at thousands of miles, and all his previous doubts were gone.
Looking at others who are still in the dark, there is a faint sense of detachment from others, that is, everyone is drunk and I am awake.
Why is Li You acting like a reckless young man who is good for nothing but courage these days? Because he has no worries!
He's not a "pig-like teammate", he's just a traitor among the courtiers! He deliberately proposed to seal the treasure seal, giving the queen mother the opportunity to bring the situation into a dead end, otherwise the queen mother would have no excuse to throw the treasure seal out and put all the courtiers' troops!
Empress Dowager Qian did not lose her mind because of anger, she also deliberately added fuel to the fire again and again, echoing Li Youyao! Until the end of the mutual generals, it becomes a dead end!
formed this situation, Li You gained fame, and Empress Dowager Qian got benefits!
The bunch of chaotic edicts issued by the Cisheng Palace in recent days would not have been able to pass them in normal times. Now faced with a huge political crisis, in order to reach a compromise as soon as possible, the courtiers may well have to make selective concessions and get some of the indiscriminate edicts to pass.
And the Queen Mother will only be at fault, there will be no crime, no matter what happens afterwards, no one can hold her accountable with the law and the ancestral system.
Others couldn't think of this at all, and only Peng Ge Lao didn't hesitate to speculate about Li You with the greatest malice from beginning to end that he would have such a profound association.
Next, what Elder Peng Ge has to consider is how to expose Li You's true face of openly speaking out and actually helping the Queen Mother in front of the ministers.
However, this matter is really bizarre, in the eyes of anyone, Li You and the Queen Mother are almost incompatible, how can they cooperate with each other.
And at present, Li You's image is at the highest peak, and he is a good man in everyone's hearts. rashly pointing out the darkness in Li You's collusion palace will only make people incredible, as if slandering out of thin air.
In this place, evidence is often a joke, and everyone never needs evidence to think about the problem, but there must always be traces to follow, so that people can reach a consensus, so we must first find out the traces.
Peng Ge Lao thought about Li You, and at the same time, Li You was also thinking secretly, seeing that Peng Ge Lao was a little positive, did he see something? There was nothing to do with him today, and he didn't have any plans against him, but he had to take the initiative to jump out and stir up the situation, could it be that he deliberately came to himself?
I can't give him a chance to continue thinking about it, otherwise there will be endless trouble! It's better to believe it than to believe it, and it's better to kill it than let it go! Originally, it really had nothing to do with Peng Ge Lao today, but Peng Ge Lao himself had to come out...
Li You's mind turned, and he had an idea, his strength lies in this fastness. immediately opened his mouth to interrupt Peng Chunshi's train of thought, "Old Peng Ge, your words and deeds are inappropriate, or you should take the guilt of asking the Holy Mother to come back!" Otherwise, how will it end today? ”…,
Yang Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, frowned beside him and said, "If there is no summons, who can enter the Cisheng Palace?" What can I do about it? ”
The Wenhua Palace, the Wuying Hall and the surrounding group of buildings are located in the outermost layer of the palace, and it is more convenient for courtiers to enter. But the Cisheng Palace, where the Queen Mother lives, is on the inner floor, where can the foreign ministers enter? Transmission is generally only done by internal supervisors, who are sometimes very unreliable.
Thinking of this, everyone remembered that there was a more reliable princess of Guide... But His Royal Highness Chitose has been driven away by Peng Ge Lao's speech.
Li You took the opportunity to say to Peng Ge Lao again: "It's not a long time now, presumably the eldest princess won't go far." I still have to work hard to get old, and I will go and ask Guide Chitose to turn around and enter the palace again. ”
Peng Ge Lao was very hesitant in his heart. Just now he unceremoniously drove the eldest princess away, but now he took the initiative to invite her back, which is too embarrassing.
Xu Shoufu relieved Peng Chunshi and said: "It's enough to call a few people to invite you, why bother to drive Peng Ge Lao." ”
Li You Zhengse said: "The first thing is wrong, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Chitose is the daughter of the first emperor, the eldest sister of the Son of Heaven, and her status is noble, how can she allow it to be drunk at will and then called back?" Let outsiders look at it, just laugh at me and other courtiers who are arrogant and arrogant and don't know how to be polite! It has to be Peng Ge Lao himself! ”
Peng Ge was helpless to be squeezed, so he had to go to the palace. was about to greet some people, and quickly went to stop the eldest princess of Guide, but from a distance he saw a Luan Yu parked under the Guiji Gate.
The people who are qualified to take advantage of public opinion in the palace have counted all the slaps, and it is estimated that the eldest princess of Guide, who is keen on court politics, did not go far and stopped there waiting for news.
Peng Ge's heart is slightly wider, first, he doesn't have to run far to catch up, and second, he is so enthusiastic that he is definitely interested in coming back to participate, and he doesn't have to worry about failure.
Peng Ge is the old man of Zaifu, and the Son of Heaven has to be called Mr. when he sees it, and it is impossible to lower his body too much. stepped forward and said a few words, and Guide Chitose happily agreed, and drove in the direction of Cisheng Palace.
There was silence in the Wuying Palace, and the atmosphere was even more depressing than just now. Peng Ge Lao did not change the situation when he came back, and they were silent and thoughtful.
Time gradually entered the Shen time, and it was almost time to end the day's work. And now, more than 20 courtiers are standing quietly in the Wuying Palace, and more than 70 courtiers are waiting for the results outside the noon gate.
If the problem is not solved, the treasure seal, which symbolizes the imperial power of the Son of Heaven, will be left outside the palace for the night.
All of you who participated in today's great counsel have a little gain and loss in your heart.
On the one hand, dare to admonish and seal the treasure seal, and force the queen mother to take the treasure seal to control the qi, so that they can collectively glorify, in recent decades, how can there be a moment that can better show the spirit of the scholars? It's enough to go down in history and write it again! And their great names will be listed with the sages, by the way, go back and make a list of great admonition topics!
On the other hand, if Baoxi really has a problem, it will be a fly in the ointment...
After waiting for another half an hour, the inner supervisor put the golden screen on again, and behind the bead curtain, the queen mother ascended the throne again.
Peng Ge knew that it might be a good thing that time was pressing, and after the ceremony, he apologized again and again for his "inappropriate words", and he didn't dare to say anything to support the scene at this time. In case the Queen Mother gets angry and leaves again, it is really reasonable and unclear.
Immediately, Peng Ge's old words were repeated: "The treasure seal is the important weapon of the country, and it must not be neglected, so please ask the Holy Lord to take the treasure seal back to the palace." Li You, the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, overstepped his false words, causing Baoxi to leave the palace, please degrade Yunnan as a post! ”
According to the old convention, under normal circumstances, in order to unite the monarch and the minister, the "leading brother" must give him the honor of seeking benevolence and benevolence... No one can accuse the communiqué of personal vendetta.
Peng Ge Lao could conclude that if he did not do so, he was afraid that according to some pre-prepared script, Li You would come forward to ask for guilt, and the words would be ingenious and novel, which was both thought-provoking and touching, and also had profound truths. With Li You's eloquence, it is not difficult to do this. …,
Then the Empress Dowager of Shengming was touched and repented, and the eldest princess of Guide also came forward to mediate. In the end, the monarch and the ministers reconciled, and everyone was happy.
The process will seem to be very smooth, reasonable, and natural, and the script must be carefully prepared in advance so that no one will see the flaws.
Therefore, Peng Ge Lao wanted to preemptively ask Li You to be punished severely, blocking Li You's opportunity to perform affectionately and confessionally.
Even if Li You stands up and continues to perform later, and has his own preconceived notions, Li You's affectionate performance will be much worse, and many follow-up actions will seem stiff and difficult. Besides, he is not a vegetarian, he has the initiative, and it is not difficult to continue to force out flaws.
In everyone's impression, the Queen Mother hated Li You to the point of gritting her teeth, if the scholars of the dynasty provided a plan to deal with Li You in order to let the Queen Mother dissipate her anger first, and this plan is in line with the traditional view and convention, and will not cause the ministers to rebel, then the Queen Mother will naturally play it immediately, and there will be no hesitation.
If the Queen Mother suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees and suddenly forgave Li You, it would be strange and thought-provoking.
This is the purpose of Peng Ge's interruption, there are always some shrewd people in the palace, how can they not see the clues? As mentioned earlier, evidence is not important to win trust in this place, but there must be traces. If the axe and chisel marks between Li You and the Queen Mother are too heavy, how can they hide it from everyone?
And as a scholar who has been in the cabinet for more than ten years, Peng Ge Lao has his own experience with the emperor's thoughts. A person who is similar to an emperor like Empress Dowager Qian behaves differently from the usual.
Take the steps as an example, ordinary people may be willing to go down if they have a step, but they don't want to have a face. But for the emperor who is called a lonely widow, the prestige is not only a face, but also represents power, and it must not be lost, not only must there be steps, but also be good, and if there are no good steps, it is better not to go down.
Preemptively, please dispose of Li You seriously, which is equivalent to demolishing this step, even if it can't be removed, it can be smashed. If Empress Dowager Qian forcibly went down the steps to forgive Li You, it would be tantamount to exposing flaws and arousing suspicion; If Empress Dowager Qian refuses to go down the steps, Li You should go to Yunnan to mix.
Peng Ge didn't know how many times he glanced at Li You out of the corner of his eye, and today he should let this guy experience what it means to be "thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace"! I just don't know how the Queen Mother will choose? Will it be rain or thunder?
He secretly recalled his trick, and felt that it was indeed very subtle, and it was very rare to grasp it accurately. It seems to be ordinary and boring, lacking ornamentality, but it has a bit of weightlifting, ingenious and unworkmanlike taste, and there is almost no trace of fireworks.
I remembered that I had fought with Li You before, but I had never found this feeling, and I really fell behind when I reflected on it. In this year, when the ancient times are near, the realm can still go to the next level, which is really gratifying. It seems that from a certain angle, Li You has to thank Li You for making some progress in cultivation.
Li You slowly walked in front of Peng Ge Lao, his expression was compassionate, and he sighed and said, "Peng Ge Lao, don't be blinded by hatred. ”
Peng Ge Lao was inexplicable about this, and Li You suddenly came up with this sentence, which was too inexplicable!
I saw Li You turn around and say to the Queen Mother again: "The ministers are invited, and the old Peng Pavilion is out of the palace, otherwise it will not be possible to continue today." In order to save the dignity of Zaifu, the reason is hidden. ”
Peng Chunshi sneered a few times, Li You's performance is too child's play. He is a scholar of Wuyingdian who entered the Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion, and the most qualified Zaifu today, so what is the size of the government that cannot be predicted? What reason did Li You have to drive him out of Wuying Palace?
Is this a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, not hesitating to tear the skin, and blatantly uniting with the Queen Mother? As everyone knows, you will die faster like this, how can these many ministers in the palace be blind and deaf, and let you do whatever you want?
At this time, if the impeached person is particular, he generally does not go out to defend himself, just like Peng Gelao impeached Li You just now, Li You has always been silent. And this task of justification is generally handed over to the same party and subordinates, and of course, there are often people who see injustice and come out to help. ..., so Peng Ge Lao didn't rush forward, and glanced at the hall at random, Li You was so cowardly, someone should have seen the situation. It's a great time, but I don't know who's going to be cheaper.
However, he found that everyone looked at their noses and noses, and ignored Li You's words, including the two masters he had promoted, and Xu Shoufu was no exception.
Peng Ge was a little surprised, and waited for a long time, but still no one came forward to speak for him, and it seemed that everyone acquiesced to what Li You said... He gradually turned from surprise to horror, if this continued, Li You's words would become a public discussion among the ministers, and he would really be driven out!
What's going on? Why hasn't anyone stepped forward? He, Li You, is just a fifth-grade official, is it so frightening? If others are afraid, why is Xu Yue, the dignified first assistant, also motionless?
Since the regency of the Queen Mother, it is inconvenient to use the Wenhua Palace, the palace of the Son of Heaven, and the Wuying Hall has become a place of deliberation, and it has been ten years now.
Peng Ge Lao has been a regular guest of Wuying Hall since the earliest times, but he has never encountered such a strange atmosphere in Wuying Palace. It seems that all acquaintances have become strangers, and occasionally there are people who look up at him, and there is an indescribable taste in that gaze...
Obviously he is the one who understands best, why does he seem to be the one who doesn't understand the most? What's going on?
Peng Ge Lao suddenly shuddered, could it be that Li You knew the demon method and performed demon magic in the Wuying Palace, confusing all the people's hearts?
