Chapter 844: The Game

readx;

The actions of the officials obviously fueled the arrogance of the hundred officials, but the palace also had nothing to do with Ma Wensheng, in fact, this kind of non-violent and non-cooperative thing has always existed since Emperor Wen, even the refutation of the holy decree has also happened from time to time, and it is impossible for the palace to be angry about this kind of thing.

This thing, which was originally small in the eyes of others, actually showed signs of causing a political crisis, and no one expected it at first, and after seeing the signs, now even if it wants to make peace, it can't be done.

It's business as usual in the cabinet, right in the center of this whirlpool, and nothing seems to have happened.

Liu Jian's body is indeed worse than before, and he is afraid of cold in winter, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian sympathize with him and let him work in the conservatory of the cubicle.

When it was still in the third year of Hongzhi, the emperor specially repaired a conservatory, which was paved with a warm dragon, and the scholars could go there to rest after finishing the things at hand.

However, Liu Jian didn't seem to be in a mood from duty to now, although there was a pile of books on the desk, but the whole person was sitting cross-legged on the fire couch without moving.

The scribes who came in and out did not dare to disturb him when they came in to see him, and even walked on tiptoe.

This unusual performance made Xie Qian, who was on duty on the other side, feel strange, he got up and wanted to go over to ask, but Li Dongyang stopped: "Gong Liu is waiting to be summoned, let's do our own thing." ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang did this together, Xie Qian actually knew a little about it, but he didn't dwell too much on it, and only then did he suddenly realize and said, "What?" The palace plans to summon Liu Gong? ”

Li Dongyang's face was indifferent, and he put a prepared ticket on the desk, and said, "There will be a will come out today, you wait and see." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a eunuch to arrive and spread the words from the palace, asking Liu Jian to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Liu Jian was not surprised, straightened his clothes, and immediately came out of the conservatory, and explained a few words to Li Dongyang, which was nothing more than how to draft a few copies of the book, and then followed the eunuch into the Zhengxin Palace.

In fact, Liu Jian has already had dozens of simulated conversations in his heart, what the emperor will say, how he will answer, how the emperor will ask, and what words should he use to deal with it. But when he entered the temple of righteousness, he found that things were not what he had imagined.

In addition to the emperor, there was also Queen Zhang sitting on the bed, Queen Zhang was as cold as frost, her eyes looked very indifferent when she looked at Liu Jian, and Xiao Jing who was standing on the side, Xiao Jing lowered his head and did not dare to come out.

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then calmly collapsed, knelt down and saluted: "Minister Liu Jian has seen the emperor and Niangniang, long live my emperor, long live Niangniang." ”

Although Zhu Youzhu on the sickbed leaned on the pillow but did not speak, perhaps his body was too tired and he was dying, so it was Empress Zhang who made Liu Jian flat, Empress Zhang raised her eyes lazily, and said in a flat tone after glancing at Liu Jian: "Flat." Liu Qing's appearance has not been very good recently, so you should pay more attention to your body. ”

Liu Jian took a deep look at the emperor on the sickbed, his scalp was a little numb, and he said to Queen Zhang respectfully: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

Empress Zhang said, "Come on, give Liu Qing a seat." ”

Xiao Jing personally went to move a Jindun, Liu Jian sat down generously, as soon as the ass touched the Jindun, Queen Zhang spoke, and sighed quietly: "Now that the emperor is sick like this, although there are many things I want to say to you, but what is ......"

When she said this, Empress Zhang began to have tears in her eyes, although she tried her best to hold back, Liu Jian caught it, what a bad old man like Liu Jian was most afraid of was that women were crying, not to mention that the person who cried was still the queen's mother, so she hurriedly said: "The emperor's dragon body is slightly cold, you might as well do something, Niangniang's Day mourning." ”

Empress Zhang raised her head and said softly: "The palace knows how the emperor's illness is, but this is also thanks to Liu Qing's sharing of a lot of things for the emperor these days, and it is also hard for Liu Qing." ”

Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Niangniang is polite, this is Weichen's duty." ”

Empress Zhang barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Yes, it is the duty of a courtier to worry about the king, Liu Qing's words are really good, if everyone can think like Liu Qing, the emperor will not be so anxious." ”

Empress Zhang seems to be finally going straight to the point, but the tone of going straight to the point doesn't seem to be very good.

Of course, Liu Jian heard Empress Zhang's voice, and hurriedly said, "Why did Niangniang say this? ”

In fact, at the beginning, Liu Jian did not expect that Empress Zhang would come forward in person, after all, it is the ancestral training that women do not interfere in politics, although the emperor now loves the queen mother, and Queen Zhang seems to be self-aware, so she has never paid attention to the affairs of the foreign court, but now it is said that this always kind Empress Zhang is full of frost, and she has a posture of asking for guilt, which makes Liu Jian feel that things are a little beyond his expectations.

After greeting for a while, Empress Zhang obviously has no surname, she has always ignored the affairs of the foreign court, which is not wrong, but now that the matter has reached Liu Chengfeng's head, there are even ministers who threatened to either shrink Liu Chengfeng's fiefdom, or remove Liu Chengfeng's official position and abolish him as a concubine.

In the past, it would have been okay for the emperor to come forward, but now that the emperor is like this, who will come forward if she doesn't come forward?

dismissed Liu Chengfeng's official position and stripped off Liu Chengfeng's fief, which is not only to deal with Liu Chengfeng, but also to deal with Princess Taikang, and Queen Zhang has been planning, the title of Duke Lianguo must fall on the heir of Princess Taikang in the future anyway, so the emperor is impatient to give the title to Liu Chengfeng's eldest son, so for Queen Zhang, Liu Chengfeng's fief, Liu Chengfeng's title and this glory and wealth are for their grandson in the future, and now someone wants to fight the idea of their own grandson, which is worth it?

For Empress Zhang, someone has touched her fundamental interests, and in normal times, Empress Zhang can be amiable, but now once someone provokes her, she will naturally not have a good face.

Empress Zhang smiled coldly: "There is a suspicious case in the imperial court, and all the officials are helpless, who is serving the imperial court?" King Ning rebelled, and who came forward? Liu Chengfeng was running around for the court outside, and some people were good, but they crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Hongu just wants to ask, what is going on with those impeachment books? Such a big momentum, so many people participated, the palace didn't believe it, there was no one behind this to instigate and instigate, the emperor is now on the sickbed, and when he needs to recuperate, someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, what is this for the monarch to worry? Liu Qing ......" Empress Zhang's face softened again: "You are a cabinet scholar, the emperor relies on you a lot, now that something like this has happened, why doesn't the cabinet come forward to block it?" Some people are too nonsense, according to the palace, they should be severely punished. ”

Liu Jian couldn't imagine that Empress Zhang would protect Liu Chengfeng like this, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart, and now this matter is really a bit related to the politics of the harem, but he glanced at the emperor who had been pursing his lips on the sickbed, and he was afraid that he also understood, don't look at the emperor and don't speak, but most of what Queen Zhang said is what the emperor wants to say.

Liu Jian naturally didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction at this time, so he had to say: "Niangniang, my emperor Shengming, how can you punish the crime for your words, if this is the case, then you are only afraid of the emperor and the reputation of the mother, and ...... it."

Empress Zhang's face was not very good-looking again, and she interrupted Liu Jian in a cold tone: "Don't use these to prevaricate the palace, it is one thing for the emperor to speak widely, but it is another thing for someone to make rumors, and now that things have come to this point, the palace will say something accurate, Liu Chengfeng's title and fief are earned by himself with a knife and a gun, and it should be, as for what embezzles the land, it is even more false, and now someone wants to fight the idea of Lianzhou, don't say that he Liu Chengfeng does not agree, and the emperor and the palace do not agree." But if there are still people who continue to make trouble, then it will not be good for the palace, and it will not be of any benefit to these troublemakers. ”

After Empress Zhang finished speaking, the anger on her face dissipated, of course she knew that it would not be possible to blindly say cruel words, it was impossible for a person like Liu Jian to be frightened by one or two intimidating words, and then her tone softened again: "You are a courtier, and you also said that you want to share your worries for the monarch, and now the emperor is still worried about this matter on the sickbed, the emperor has the grace of knowing and the virtue of recreation, and you, as a cabinet scholar, should calm down these criticisms before you can be regarded as worrying about the monarch?" This palace has always respected Liu Qing, to put it mildly, the emperor can do without this palace, but he can't do without Liu Qing, I hope Liu Qing thinks about it, puts state affairs first, and should think about it for the emperor, no matter what means are used, how to suppress this matter? ”

first came hard, and then lowered his posture and put on a high hat for Liu Jian, which is naturally Queen Zhang's wrist, but Queen Zhang's words have come to this point, if Liu Jian says another word, I am afraid that it will not be perfunctory.

Liu Jian took a deep breath, he knew in his heart that he should also see the dagger, he pondered for a moment and said: "The old minister is frightened, he should not be praised by his mother, then again, now those people are really a little unreasonable, but the old minister thinks that people's words are terrible, and they can't be suppressed, so if you want to calm down this matter, Lianzhou's affairs must have a name." ”

"Reputation? What name? Empress Zhang thought that Liu Jian was bargaining, and her face was displeased.
