Chapter 245: Chaotic Court Struggle
Although Li You does not have any direct or indirect evidence, and he has not had much contact with Peng Gelao, except for some rumors, he has not had any in-depth understanding. But as long as Peng Ge is the biggest beneficiary, it is enough to make people doubtful.
It's a pity that even if there is a suspicion object, Li You is still helpless in a hurry, and there is nothing he can do. had to move his gaze to the shadow behind the bead curtain again, the queen mother's attitude towards her old man is naturally very important, and it can even be said that it is the surname that decides.
This situation is a necessary test and experience for the great emperor, especially the emperor (the empress dowager Bingzheng) after the Jiajing Dynasty. It can be said that if you can't grasp this kind of thing, then don't be in charge.
Everyone paid attention, but the Empress Dowager Cisheng directly announced the end of the show lightly, and drove back to the palace with Wang Qinian's recital.
No attitude is also an attitude, everyone in the palace understands that the Queen Mother is using a unique magical power that only those who hold the imperial power can cultivate. The so-called stay in the middle and not send it means that the Son of Heaven will leave the chapter in his hand and will not approve, express his position, and not issue it.
This magical power is mysterious and profound, mysterious and mysterious, full of heaven and earth, and contains the true meaning of the avenue.
When this supernatural power is unleashed, three thousand worlds rise and fall in a single thought, and all kinds of laws change and change. It is both consent and rejection; It is both an affirmation and a negation; It is both an encouragement and a warning; It is both praise and refutation.
It's a deep way to say, but Li You's understanding is very simple, thinking that this means "you continue to fight". His idea can barely be regarded as a return to the realm of simplicity, and he has realized the origin of things.
The ministers went out of the palace in twos and threes, it was inconvenient to talk on this occasion, and when Xu Tianguan passed by Li You's side, he only nodded to him, probably to make him feel at ease.
Li You and Yuan Ge Lao could only stand still first. When everyone else was finished, the two of them glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and invariably buttoned up their black gauze hats, and left the hall to return to the cabinet with their front and back feet.
Everyone knows that a new war is imminent, but the form of the battle is probably still the same.
Sitting in the room, Li You had no mind to deal with government affairs, and spent the whole morning studying his situation. To his relief, it was not just his own business that the incident had escalated to this point. So he is not alone, and he will not fight alone.
But the other party is obviously very strategic, deliberately tying him up with Yuan Ge's two enemies and impeaching him, which makes him very awkward. If there is any way to save himself, does he want to pull Yuan Ge Lao out of the sea of suffering? It's not good to think about it, Yuan Ge must think the same way.
Suddenly thinking about the power of a certain princess, Li You, who had cut off one arm, sighed again.
The eldest princess can enter the Cisheng Palace at any time to chat with the Queen Mother, and she doesn't have to rely on the music that doesn't know how many hands she has turned, which is an advantage that no minister can match.
Moreover, His Royal Highness Chitose seems to have a little bit of a team of speech officials in his hands with the acquiescence of the former emperor, and this new force can play a huge role in the war of words that is about to begin.
If there is the strong support of Guide Chitose at this time, plus the power of foreign courts, why worry about the indestructibility of the enemy army?
It's just that yesterday's hand was too cheap, and I left and left, and carved words on the door panel. Now that it is completely flooded, it is difficult to recover, thinking of this, Li You muttered to himself: "Self-inflicted, you can't live, and looking back on it is a hundred years." ”
The great court battle at the end of the seventh year of Jinghe, without warning and unexpectedly, broke out with Master Li, a member of the Zhongshu House, as the fuse, and Li Zhongshu's name was once again passed on by word of mouth in the officialdom of Beijing, and it was truly known to women and children.
However, the old fritters are not very optimistic about Li You's ending. A person who is not a seven-grade non-science and Taoist official, he is just crowded in a group of bigwigs, full of sacrificial temperament, he is not cannon fodder, who should be cannon fodder?
This time the competition was fierce, and it quickly entered the peak period in a short period of time. For several days, each of them had dozens of letters signed or signed separately and put them into the inner court. There are all kinds of contents, some demand the dismissal of the "vote tyrant" officials, some want to cancel the post of the secretary of the vote, some want to track down the perpetrators of the conspiracy, and some are purely scolding, and so on.
Because it involves the cabinet, such notes are all marked on the cover and sent directly to the Cisheng Palace by the clerk's office, but so far they have not been issued.
Even the court meetings on November 13 and 15 were canceled by decree, probably because the Queen Mother was worried about making an undignified scene.
Although Li You was silent for the first few days, he was not idle. When he learned from many sources that Elder Peng Ge, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was indeed the driving force behind the scenes, he finally couldn't help but take the initiative. On the twelfth day, Master Li also posted a new post to join the battle group.
Li You scolded Peng Ge Lao Dao in his recital: "The great annihilation seems to be loyal, the great deception seems to be straight, the great hypocrisy seems to be righteous, similar to the reckless and the like!" It is cunning and dangerous, and it is a mistake to pick people to fulfill their desires, this wind cannot be long, and Our Lady must not ignore it! But now his people are in groups, and they are like the real prime minister, and the foolish people only know that there is Peng Ge Lao but do not know that there is a court! ”
If a few days ago, the battle was still limited to the scope of the Kedao Yanguan, Li You's post led the war to the inner court.
What is worthy of sympathy is that he immediately provoked a strong counterattack, and on the thirteenth day, eleven Zhongshu people jointly signed a letter to demand the dismissal of Li You and Yuan Gelao's officials.
Things are getting more and more lively, and from these eleven joint names, Li You can see that Xu Ge, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, is also involved... Peng Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao have joined forces?
Eighty percent of these two people are worried about the positions of the first assistant and the second assistant? It's really a good calculation.
So Li Zhongshu wrote another letter to scold Peng and Xu: "Provoking the wrong thing with the view of the door, abolishing the country's affairs, and causing the old evils of the Jiashen Dynasty to repeat!" His sin is great, and he should be allowed to return to the country to recuperate! ”
The scolding chapters are flying all over the sky, wonderful, and the streets and alleys are talking about it. But just spitting on each other like this, without the intervention of the imperial power, really can't solve the problem, even if the side that has the upper hand, how big can the actual effect be? Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang to death and other episodes only exist in novels.
Li You still felt that the situation was a little passive. After all, it was the other side that launched the attack on its own initiative, well prepared and well organized. The helpers on his side can only cope with it for the time being, so they seem passive. What's more, he and Yuan Ge Lao can't pee in the same pot at all, and there is no need to tear each other down, but don't think about unity.
Alas, Lord Li doesn't know how many times he has remembered a certain princess. Even if Your Highness refuses to help your subordinates, you should always rescue Yuan Ge Lao, who has a desire to get closer to you?
The court in the first half of November of the seventh year of Jinghe was so chaotic, but the turning point was not in the temple. Instead, it appeared in an unexpected place.
