Seeing this, the palace people retreated one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Empress Zhang was busy with the work in her hands, got up, personally poured a cup of hot tea in front of Zhu Youzhang, and said with a smile: "What? Got upset again? ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed, calmed down, and said, "In a few days, Liu Chengfeng is afraid that he will return to Beijing." ”

"Really?" Empress Zhang smiled and said: "It's good to come back safely, this guy is also fateful, when he came out of the jam, the concubine was still very worried, you don't know, Yueluo entered the palace several times, and she cried about it, saying that something really going to happen, then the Shen family really doesn't have to live, I'm a mother, and I'm distressed when I see it." Originally, there are so many courtiers, who doesn't choose, but chooses Liu Chengfeng to do such a dangerous thing, don't talk about this, since he comes back, it's a good thing. ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed and said: "What you said is not wrong, so many people, they just want to pick him, it's not that I'm confused, it's just that although I have many courtiers, few of them are responsible, so let them get in the way, hey, don't talk about this." ”

"I mean ......"

Zhu Youzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "After Liu Chengfeng returns to Beijing, let Houzhao set up a banquet in the East Palace to wash the dust for Liu Chengfeng." Originally, it was a good thing to come back, but I caused such trouble, and I felt ashamed of him in my heart, since this is the case, then the surname Suo will let Houzhao appease him, no matter what, it's good to express the meaning of the palace. ”

Empress Zhang saw Zhu Youzhang's words flickering, and hurriedly asked, and Zhu Youzhu told the cause and effect of the matter. Empress Zhang couldn't help but sneer: "This is strange, people have earned credit for their lives, but these people are holding on to other people's small handles, what's the matter, do people have made meritorious contributions, and the court must punish them?" This is really strange, that Liu Jichen's concubine is not a good thing at first glance, when the first emperor was there, he blindly greeted him, and he didn't see him have any backbone, but now in front of His Majesty, there is a bit of iron bones, such a person is really hateful. ”

Empress Zhang licked her lips and continued: "This dust-washing banquet, you don't have to come to the East Palace to invite, the concubines want to see who is playing right and wrong, let the concubines come and invite, and when the time comes, call the ministers here, so that everyone can know that the palace is not blind or deaf, whether it is loyal or annihilated, the palace can see it." ”

Zhu Youzhu thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

The two discussed, and Empress Zhang sent out a decree, originally according to Zhu Youjiao's meaning, it was felt that people came back from the desert, but they would have to suffer from the investigation of the imperial court, which was too unkind, but in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the ministers, it could only be so, so they planned to set up a banquet to appease them.

Originally, I thought that Zhu Houzhao would be done, and the prince could also represent the palace, but now that Empress Zhang is willing to stand up and support her, it is just right.

At the same time as the decree was promulgated, the cabinet had already received the information, at this time Liu Ji had already gone home and thought about it behind closed doors, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were rarely quiet, and the two of them didn't say anything when they each drafted their own votes, but when the scribe came with the news, Xie Qian finally couldn't help but make a comment: "Although Liu Ji is excessive, but Queen Zhang also came in with one foot, it seems a little out of place, the queen is the mother of the country, but the harem can't interfere in political affairs, Liu Chengfeng's current matter has not yet been decided, and the harem suddenly wants to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, That's a bit inappropriate. ”

Li Dongyang actually held a lot of words in his stomach, and he didn't want to be humane, but after listening to Xie Qian's discussion at this time, he couldn't help but raise his pen and said: "Duke Xie thinks it's a trivial matter in the palace today?" ”

"It's just a risk, what can be considered a big deal, even if it is really found out that Liu Chengfeng is a meritorious. Say something that shouldn't be said, which one doesn't have a meritorious thing? It's just local officials, and it's not just to show off their political achievements. Even if it is found out, it will only be a small punishment at most, so what else?"

Li Dongyang nodded with a smile: "Gong Xie, this matter is not small, if it is small, then why would Liu Ji risk the risk of colliding with the monarch to promote this matter no matter what?" Xiang Zhuang danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong, and what Liu Ji wanted was not to find evidence of Liu Chengfeng's meritorious work, but to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate thoroughly investigate the matter in the name of this. A few years ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate left the imperial history of the imperial history, and now the new Zuodu imperial history is Zhou Cheng, a bachelor of Hanlin during the Chenghua period. This Zhou Cheng had a great relationship with Liu Ji in the past, and later came to His Majesty to succeed to the throne, Liu Gong entered the cabinet, and he was very dissatisfied with this Zhou Cheng, and directly transferred him to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. And this time Liu Ji recovered, trying to ensure that Zhou Cheng was transferred back to Beijing, and Zhou Cheng was desperate for Liu Ji this time. ”

"Liu Ji's meaning is very clear, that is, first let the imperial court agree to investigate Liu Chengfeng thoroughly, and then instruct the Metropolitan Procuratorate to conduct a thorough investigation. When the Metropolitan Procuratorate fabricated the charges, that is, when Liu Ji delivered a fatal blow, Gong Xie, this Liu Ji was going to break the boat. What Liu Ji wanted was not to prevent the emperor from issuing a reward to Liu Chengfeng, but to take the opportunity to break Liu Chengfeng. ”

Xie Qian didn't expect it to be so far-reaching, but now after listening to Li Dongyang's words, he was stunned, and couldn't help sneering: "Liu Chengfeng is deeply favored by the saint, and he has fabricated a few crimes, how can he say that he can be broken." ”

Li Dongyang shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not necessarily, just now, His Majesty is going to discuss the matter of rewarding, and in the end, he has to issue an order to investigate Liu Chengfeng thoroughly?" That Liu Ji knows His Majesty's temper very well, and he also knows what His Majesty is most afraid of, since he wants to do it, then there must be a way to make the palace submit. ”

"Forced palace?" Xie Qian couldn't help but take a deep breath, Liu Ji's performance in the court discussion today is indeed very suspicious of forcing the palace, this guy really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, in order to bring down a brocade guard, he really wants to die together.

Li Dongyang sighed: "It can be said that it can't be said that Liu Ji is indeed suspected of forcing the palace this time, but do you know, why did His Majesty only let him think about it three times behind closed doors?" ”

Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty has always wanted to emulate the sages, and most admired the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and often said to people that he wanted to be the former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty but couldn't, Your Majesty's mind is nothing more than thinking about what future generations call virtuous." Liu Ji said today that although he was disrespectful in the palace, His Majesty couldn't help but bear it, otherwise he didn't know, and thought that this Liu Ji was Wei Zheng, but His Majesty was not Emperor Taizong of Tang. ”

Li Dongyang nodded his head and said: "So this Liu Ji knows in his heart that it is not a bad thing for him to speak disrespectfully in front of the king, and sometimes, not only can he force the emperor to do what he wants to do but can't do, but at the same time, he can protect himself." The more he speaks disrespectfully, the more the emperor can't do anything to him, he doesn't have a few years to live, as long as he lives in peace for another two years, I'm afraid that he should return to dust, and even if he doesn't want to be a minister, he has to be a minister. Since this is the case, then the surname Suo will fight hard. After Liu Chengfeng is defeated, the next one will be you and me, and at that time, he will be able to enjoy his old age in peace. ”

Xie Qian narrowed his eyes, and his face couldn't help but show a little shock, according to what Li Dongyang said, there was really such a sign. Offending the emperor can't last long, Liu Ji obviously doesn't want it to last long, what he wants is to overthrow all his opponents within one or two years, to put it bluntly, in fact, it is to support him Liu Dang to come to power, and when that time comes, he will retire after his success, and he will not be afraid that the descendants of future generations will be liquidated, this old guy, it turned out to be this idea.

Li Dongyang smiled again and said: "Of course, Liu Ji's abacus is not such a one, speaking of which, no matter what, whether it is you and me, Liu Chengfeng, they are all his mortal enemies, although this grudge is not to the point of not sharing the sky, but it is not small, Liu Ji will be avenged, how can he tolerate us." ”

Xie Qian sneered: "So, Liu Chengfeng must not let him Liu Ji collapse?" Even if the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is his person, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, and the old man also has a few protégés and former officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will repair a book later, no matter what, he must obstruct this matter. ”

Li Dongyang said: "There is no need to repair books for this kind of thing, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate can naturally understand, they know what to do, and the old man is worried about Liu Chengfeng." The most important thing at the moment is whether Liu Chengfeng really took the gong, if he really took the gong, the matter is not easy to say, through this risk, someone can make a big fuss, and then add other crimes, the evidence is conclusive, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with it, you have to deal with it. But if you don't take the credit, then it doesn't hurt to make up more crimes. ”

Xie Qian immediately looked a little depressed, and said: "This is an obvious thing, a thousand new troops slaughtered three thousand guards, and they did not suffer any damage, which can be described as a complete victory." Even if it's not a presumption, I'm afraid that the discrepancies here are not small, anyway, the old man never believes the so-called 'great victory' in the book, and it's a joke to say it. Ay...... This Liu Chengfeng out of the plug is a great achievement, but he still feels that he is insufficient, but he still has to add a few credits to himself, it is really ......" Xie Qian shook his head as he spoke, looking distressed.

Li Dongyang stopped talking, he couldn't say anything about it, Xie Qian said that he didn't believe in Liu Chengfeng's so-called 'great victory', how could he believe that anyone who could enter the cabinet was not a fool, this kind of unheard-of record, and it was also a loss that Liu Chengfeng dared to write, he just said that if he beheaded five hundred, everyone could also be vague in the past, three thousand...... This guy is really crazy.
