Chapter 168: A Heavy Blow
ps:Today is the last day of this month.,Umei's manuscript is o.,Last night's all-night code.,I really can't stay up all night today.,But I'll work hard to code a little bit.,Strive to get the explosion code of the 2oo monthly pass.。 The days when I didn't save the manuscript were uncomfortable, and my golden body of 10,000 words a day was almost unsustainable. I was dizzy, I actually marked another chapter 168, and my head was dizzy.
"The prime minister fainted!"
"Where's the doctor? Hurry up and save people! ”
Wei Juan fell headlong, a big bag bulged out on his head, and the hundreds of military officials in the hall were suddenly chaotic, and the doctors walking around were busy like headless flies scurrying around.
What really messed everyone up was not the prime minister fainting, but the two big boxes of gold, a mere 1o8o gold bribing the three princes and nine kings, which was simply the best joke of the year.
But the gold is in front of him, and the three princes and nine kings are all discolored, which just shows that the authenticity of the bribery is undoubted.
"Why the hell did you take bribes?" Such a question flashed through the mind of almost every bureaucrat.
According to the latest regulations of the Han Law on Money, 6o gold is worth 6o thousand five baht, which is indeed a huge amount of wealth for middle-level bureaucrats who only rely on money to eat, but it is limited to middle- and lower-level bureaucrats below 2,000 stone.
As long as he gets mixed with Shangqing and ranks among the dozens of most powerful people in the Han Empire, none of them are poor, and those who were very poor before are not poor now.
The prime minister is not poor, the rank is more scary than Wan Shi, there are 42oo stones in hand, and there are 210,000 yuan according to the half of the money and grain, plus melons, fruits and vegetables, clothing and cloth, and salt seasonings as welfare. Bolognese specialty, basically everything you eat, wear, and use, and even the driver is also paid for by the treasury.
The prime minister who got to that point. Maybe it's not a lot of wealth, there will be no shortage of money and food, there will be no less than a penny of daily use, family members are respected when they walk outside, and the advantage of status is an intangible wealth.
It is reasonable that the prime minister will not be corrupt and take bribes, and the amount of corruption recovered at their level is too large. The risk is too high, and the amount is too small and not worth the effort.
The doubts that civil and military officials can't solve in their heads, but no matter how unreasonable. No matter how ridiculous it is, it's useless to say it.
The human evidence was that the four princes stood stupidly over the prince, and the physical evidence was the two boxes of gold that had been kicked over and spilled on the ground.
"Cao Shi! You did it on purpose! Niu said angrily.
"I can say no?"
"You put ...... Why are you bastards so vicious! The old prime minister is such a good person, and he is a good person who has spared you several times. You're willing to do it! It's just a wolf's heart, a dog's lungs, and a beast. "Niu Du almost blew up his lungs.
"I'm so kind. Such an innocent person, who thinks about the society wholeheartedly, a good person who is slandered and smeared by you for no reason, you are willing to poison him! It's just a wolf's heart, a dog's lungs, and a beast. ”
"You bastard, we should have done it before we could get rid of you!"
Cao Shi laughed and said, "At the beginning? What year and month? You've only been a court lieutenant for a few months, and you said at the beginning, as if you have been a Jiuqing for more than ten years, but in fact, you are a fool, a bastard. ”
Niu's face turned blue and turned red like a pig's liver: "You insulted me in court." Don't you know that I'm one of the Nine Qings? ”
"And what did you say before you insulted me? If you want to engage in double standards, you can scold me. I can't scold you? Do you still want to be cheeky? ”
Niu Yao's expression was like a roller coaster, going uphill and downhill for a while, his face changed back and forth, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Reasoning is not an opponent, and strong reasoning is not an opponent.
He didn't know how to fight back, because his head was completely messed up, and he didn't recover from Wei Xuan's fainting blow at all at this moment, and when he rushed up to attack Cao, he only gained double the shame.
The lord Du Weinu didn't dare to move, he didn't even have the courage to stand up, he had been taught once at the racecourse yesterday, and he didn't want to be taught a second time.
Most of the other Shangqing stared at each other with a dull and motionless gaze, and the two boxes of gold had a huge psychological impact on them, and they were all thinking about this sudden blow for a long time.
"The meritorious princes have a deep foundation, and the evergreen princes of Pingyang Marquis Li IV have made too hasty moves, and they shouldn't have done so."
"Our foundation is too shallow, and it is too unrealistic to get rid of the leaders of the meritorious princes and completely defeat the meritorious princes with only twenty or thirty years of political experience and the knowledge and connections of the secretary for three or five years."
"Of course, daydreaming, I understand what we are wrong, we shouldn't tear our faces with Pingyang Hou so quickly, give us another half a year, maybe it won't end like this."
"It won't take another half a year, just change the time as long as you don't touch these four broom stars, without these two boxes of gold, you won't lose so badly."
"Let's not talk about these things, don't say anything about losing to this point, we can only lose completely if we are willing to gamble and lose, and ask for a decent opportunity to exit!"
The Shangqing are losing confidence, and now they don't even dare to sneak a glance at Cao Shi, the princes are too powerful, even the lieutenant Zhang Ou of the Northern Army is the people of the liehous, and the two armies of the north and south are in the hands of the liehous, and they will only have ghosts if they don't lose.
The parties were instigated.
The onlookers only admired and revered Cao Shi, and the seventeen-year-old young man had the courage, courage and means, and was a hundred times stronger than them in shrinking their heads and looking forward and backward.
One person picked a dozen by himself, and not only was he not beaten to death by the group, but he called in helpers to clean up the opponent.
Except for the cow fork, there is no second way to describe it.
Doctor Fan Itguang came out of the ranks, and he was kind to the four stupid princes: "The princes don't have to worry too much, just say anything you have to say." ”
The four princes seemed to be frightened stupidly, trembling and trembling without saying a word about what they had seen and heard at yesterday's Jockey Club, and when a few people bought binoculars worth 2o gold and accepted the gifts of the four princes, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had nothing to say.
"The minister said, this is a group of brainless stupid forks! You dare to take the money of the prince of the domain, is it because your brain is in water, or is your brain in urine? Li dared to open his mouth and scolded all the three princes and nine qing.
When the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu saw this rude-speaking cavalry captain, he immediately relieved most of his anger. It is normal for the Li family in Longxi to have few heads, Li Guang is famously stupid and bold and brainless, and Li Danghu's brain circuit is a straight line. There is no turning circle in the dictionary of the head at all, Li Dare inherits his father's fine tradition, and nicknames Li Bold in the army, and calls him stupid and bold.
He is a novelty in the brainless world, Cao Shi praised him as a ** youth two thousand and one hundred years ago, the most courageous warrior in the comics, and in addition to fighting, there are all kinds of funny ideas in his mind. and the ** swear words learned from the ruffians in the army.
If Li Dare had a brain, he would not have tried his archery skills again and again, and he also teasingly proposed to worship him as a teacher to learn even a hundred arrows. In the end, he took out the family heirloom stone archery technique in exchange.
Cao Shi didn't bother to talk about him, even Baiya asked for a basic step-by-step training at the age of 15, Lian's skills are completely different from ordinary archery, and ordinary marksmen don't even want to copy this stunt for a hundred years. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the stunt of Gan's father's family who has produced a marksman for many generations.
Li Kang is not very old, but he is not too young. In his early twenties, it was useless to learn any magic archery, his set of stone archery was simply given to him for nothing, and what he handed over to Li Dang was even the small skill of twenty arrows, the required power and degree of explosiveness are relatively low, and the range power and instantaneous arrow degree will also be greatly reduced, and the flat shooting of a hundred steps (75 meters) is the ultimate range, at most it is a copycat shrunken version of the magic skill, Li Dangming knows that it is not all and is still playing. It's speechless.
It's just that he usually doesn't have a brain, and he likes to scold others for being brainless. In the past, at most, he scolded Ning Cheng, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, in the barracks as a brainless rammer, but today, as soon as he confided in the court, he confided his usual mantra, and Sangong Jiuqing became an unlucky ghost who was scolded.
Lang Zhong Linghe's angry face darkened: "Li Kang!" How dare you roar in the court! Do you still know these two things? Take it for me left and right! ”
"Wait! It's rough but Riko is right, and I like his sincerity and drive. Liu Che smiled, it was clear that he wanted to disgust your group of people, and it was right to scold the goods.
"Che'er!"
"Imperial Grandmother!"
Dou Yifang said: "After all, it is the minister of the Han family, and it is not right to be insulted by a petty official, you should not protect that cavalry captain." ”
"What the imperial grandmother said is, then the child will order him to go back and copy the military law 1oo times to set an example!" Liu Che said with a grin.
The Empress Dowager was helpless.
The prime minister's bribery is simply a big scandal, and she has no ability to do it like Emperor Han Jingdi's forcible defense of Chao mistakenly chiseled through the wall of the Taimiao, the main trouble is that the name is not right, sitting in the main hall is nominally supervising the governance of the Son of Heaven, and it is 108,000 miles away from listening to the government and even the queen mother's system, the Son of Heaven is doing a good job, and she has no ability to pick her nose and eyes, and chant a few words of Huang Lao's mother-in-law scripture to no avail, what does she do to calm people's hearts?
It is nothing more than using filial piety to suppress the Son of Heaven, and using identity to suppress the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as Shangqing succumbs to her majesty, the power of the court and government will be grasped into her hands little by little, but now it is completely impossible.
Or the prime minister taking bribes.
Dou Yi really wanted to throw the crutches out, she knew Wei Juan when she was not blind before, and she was always a very honest petty official, her husband Emperor Taizongwen liked Wei Juan very much, and handed it over to his son Emperor Gaozongjing to experience misunderstanding to recognition, and gradually promoted the high position of the princes and prime ministers.
But Wei Juan is really so stupid, he is so stupid that he collapses, not to mention that the bonus of the prince of the domain cannot be collected, even if it is a cup of tea and a bowl of rice, he does not shoulder the mission of accompanying the prince of the domain, and it is a big taboo to contact in private, touching the minefield that the emperor cannot tolerate, and then explaining what he doesn't know, it is pointless to be in the dark, and to be bewitched by traitors and other nonsense.
This is yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it can only be a lump of poop if he says that there are more flowers.
Dou Yifang is very powerful in the palace, and the means of palace fighting can be ranked in the top ten throughout the ages, but it is not as powerful as the powerful Empress Lu Pheasant, without the three princes and nine kings as minions, he can't even collect the detailed changes in the court, and her unconscious grandson is too defensive against herself.
Dou Yifang's aggressive momentum suddenly weakened by more than half, and the person who was about to shout and kill Cao Shi just now is now silent.
Fighting wolves does not die but suffers from them, and she must beware of this victimization now.
The Queen Mother Wang Wan sat silently, and for a while she was thinking about what had just happened, and the more she pondered, the more she felt that Cao Shi's scheming was terrible. In a blink of an eye, he played Sangong Jiuqing as a monkey, and when he looked back at her impression, when he presented the paper, this little guy was getting more and more powerful.
Wei Juan was rescued. The old man pointed at Cao Shilian and said more than a dozen of you, but he didn't hold back a complete sentence.
The loss was too aggrieved, and Cao Shi used shady means to remember the stick, but he couldn't say it, knowing that Wei Youqu, who borrowed money, was the prince of the domain, he hesitated at the beginning and still borrowed money along with the three princes and nine qing, and everyone borrowed money. It's not good if you don't borrow it, and secondly, I always feel that this thing is unaware, and the big guys are involved in a bit of the psychology of not being accountable to the public. As long as you secretly plug the hole of borrowing, this thing will be treated as if it has never happened.
But after a night's work, the East Window incident was caught and all the stolen goods were obtained, and the aggrieved jumping into the Yellow River could not be washed away. But I don't have the face to shout wronged. The money was borrowed by yourself, and neither of you nor I should be wronged.
If you want to quibble, there are witnesses, political enemies, emperors, civil and military officials, Lang Wei, and thousands of pairs of eyes staring at each other.
Cao Shi asked with a smile: "What else does the prime minister have to say?" ”
If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, quickly stand up cleanly and get out of the way.
Wei Wanyan didn't know. After holding back for a long time, he hummed: "The minister is ashamed of His Majesty, ashamed of the Queen Mother, ashamed of the Queen Mother, and the prime minister of Yin and Yang who has no shame to sit on the prime minister, please allow the minister to return to his hometown!" ”
"Prime Minister, why bother, if you have something to say, I am also a reasonable person."
"The minister is old and unable to serve His Majesty, and I ask His Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown!"
Embarrassment, embarrassment, humiliation.
Wei Juan even suddenly understood some of Cao Shi's feelings, what he had done in the past would probably cause such a feeling, and he was even more surprised by Cao Shi's forbearance at a young age, an old man of his age still couldn't stand such grievances, how Cao Shi did it lightly and didn't care.
Suddenly, he felt that his strength was still too narrow, and he couldn't even tolerate an outstanding young man, so he couldn't bear to design boxing gloves to humiliate and subdue him, and he couldn't do it several times, and he ruined his killing machine.
If I can't get it, then no one else can think of it.
Wei Juan has always been proud of being a good person, and he is kind and humble and courteous, but at the critical moment, he can't stick to the edge of the word modesty, and throws away the cultivation accumulated over the years.
At the moment of guilt and self-blame, the other side has been half angry.
Dou Yifang held a cane in his hand, crushed down desperately, and the stone steps rattled, and he couldn't say half a word after being annoyed for a long time.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Wei Wan for being dizzy, and she can only bow her head when she is grabbed by others, her heart is both aggrieved and uncomfortable, just like a punch in the air that almost flashed her waist, and when she turned around and was punched again, her eyes were straight out of Venus.
As soon as Wei Juan retreated, where to find an obedient and familiar Sangong who could cooperate, the Empress Dowager herself didn't know, how else did he suppress the court, why did he continue to take care of the disobedient little grandson, it is useless to rely on filial piety without capital, no matter how noble the old man is, he can't live for his children and grandchildren, and he is an adult who performs the crown ceremony, and he must live alone in a separate family, even if the children who love the family eat in a room with their parents, the number of household registrations and taxes and servitude are also recalculated.
Tian Wei shrank in the corner and lowered his eyebrows and did not speak, he was happy to watch Shaofu Cao Shi fall and fall on his head, it does not mean that he must have a fight with Pingyang Hou, the current situation is clearly that Cao Shi won a complete victory, and the Wei Wan party members were beaten without the power to fight back, and the collective fell into a state of collapse.
"Please pity the ministers who are old and incompetent and useless, please allow Chen Qi's bones to return to his hometown."
After all, Wei Juan is one of the hundred officials, according to the usual practice, the prime minister took the initiative to resign, and the emperor wanted to refuse it to express regret, so Liu Che gave in a few times before approving the dismissal.
According to the usual practice, Liu Che gave Wei Wan a car as a means of transportation, and allowed him to return to the Hou Kingdom for retirement with a fortune of 2,000 stones, but he was not given the treatment of the third prince of 4,200 stones.
The Imperial Historian did not doubt that he followed up with a book to beg for bones, and the Son of Heaven also expressed his intention to keep it before he allowed it, Liu Che originally liked this good old man very much, and he handled the trivial matters in the Imperial Doctor Dynasty very properly, and always maintained a modest attitude in major matters and did not participate much, and his personality was a bit similar to Wanshi Jun Shi Fen.
It's just that because Zhi Budo has a very good relationship with Wei Juan, the partner has been tacit for many years, and he must kick out the other one. Even if you cherish your talents, you must give them up, and the treatment given by the Son of Heaven is also two thousand stone pensions, and the crime of accepting bribes must be detained on their heads. Otherwise, after a few years of dismissal, you can still resume your relationship in the Beijing Division.
If you return to your hometown with your sins, you will no longer have a chance to start over.
Tingwei Niu Arrive, Danong Linghui, Lang Zhong Linghe, Lord Du Weinu, Dianzhu Guoshi and other Shangqing 6 continued to resign, whether it was painful, hateful, angry or reluctant, they had to face the cruel reality.
The cow waited for a pair of bull's eyes to die of hatred. originally thought that jumping from Qi Guoxiang to Tingwei was a good messenger, and he would be promoted to the rank of the three princes in a few years, but he was forced to return to his hometown after only working in Tingwei for less than half a year. There is still a stigma of bribery on his head, and he doesn't have to think about the possibility of a comeback in this life.
The lord Du Weinu is relatively more unlucky, he has been wandering between Shangqing for ten years, but in the past ten years, there has been no big money and no small money. All kinds of benefits are not good. After he was forcibly dismissed, all his benefits were reduced, leaving only the low-level treatment of the lieutenant of the 2000 stone county, and the huge gap between his expectations and the actual results almost made him psychologically broken.
The others were crying and mourning like their parents were dead, and the golden rice bowl they had been holding for many years in their hands was smashed by themselves, and they originally wanted to extinguish Cao Shi's arrogance.
The trees fell and scattered, the party was taken out, and a group of Shangqing became a rabble. If you don't know each other and return to your hometown, the end will be very miserable.
The civil and military officials were all dumbfounded.
Resigned more than a dozen Shangqing in one go. Almost more than two-thirds of the 2,000 stones were included, and there were only a handful of Jiuqing left.
Before Wei Juan turned around and left, he slowly said to Zhizhi: "The old man has seen many things wrong in his life, but Cao Shi is the most outrageous, I dare not say how high or low his ability is, at least it is more powerful than I imagined, the old man feels that he has seen too many mistakes." ”
Half of the resignation of the three princes and nine secretaries, even if the reason is sufficient, it is a great event, the resignation is not a sentence and wants to leave, the handover of official duties to clean up the bits and pieces of the trouble is very troublesome, the snake has no head, and the new Jiuqing candidate has to be determined.
The next court discussion was precisely the candidate for the new Jiuqing.
Dou Yifang was very angry, holding his cane and said angrily: "More than half of the three princes and nine kings have gone to work, you are not qualified as an emperor!" ”
"Imperial Grandmother ......"
The Queen Mother Wang Wan also echoed angrily: "What the Queen Mother said makes sense, Che'er is not ready to apologize to your imperial grandmother." ”
Liu Che was annoyed in his heart, but he still had to take care of his grandmother in terms of face, so he had to bow his head aggrievedly and admit his mistakes.
The Empress Dowager's face suddenly looked much better: "Che'er! The old body is not deliberately to stay difficult for you, just because the three princes and nine kings are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the society of the country, my Han family has worked hard for 60 years to manage the peaceful and prosperous world, and you must take responsibility as the emperor, and you can't dislike personal likes and dislikes to spoil national affairs, otherwise what face do you have with your mother to meet your grandfather and father? ”
The words are very heavy.
The Queen Mother's face was hot, although her position was close to the seat of the Son of Heaven, some distance from the position of the emperors, and the voice of the lower voice was not afraid of being heard from a distance, but when her mother-in-law Dou Yifang said it lightly on her face, her heart was full of feelings.
She knew that she was playing a small trick to deal with her sister-in-law Liu Yan, and she was remembered by her mean and stingy mother-in-law, and recently she has repeatedly found her mistakes, and she has to be frightened all day long, and even made Wang Wan think that she was back to 20 years ago, when she first entered the palace, she was picked by her mother-in-law, and she had to spend every day in worry.
Liu Che lowered his head to listen to the training, and Dou Yifang's face showed a slight smile: "Che'er! Sooner or later, the Han family will still be handed over to you, and the old man will do his best to check for you, choose a few more loyal and serious good courtiers, and gradually change the bad habits in the court. ”
Since the original team of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries can't be kept, it is okay to change the new team of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, Dou Yifang is clearly going to occupy the personnel appointment power of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, Liu Che wants to speak but can't say it, just now he secretly laughed at the emperor's grandmother that no one is available, and the current world is so fast, and in the blink of an eye, he will have no one available.
"What the imperial grandmother said is reasonable, and the child will never dare to forget the teachings."
Dou Yifang knew that Sangong Jiuqing was unreliable, so he simply picked up his little grandson to fight in the ring, Liu Che's immature imperial heart was not enough to see in front of the old grandmother who was used to the wind and rain, and beat it lightly and heavily.
The court meeting has only been going on for half an hour, and most of the three princes and nine kings have been directly killed, and it is impossible to continue.
Just as the confessor was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, Taizhong doctor Zhao Yu stood up.
"Your Majesty, last night the Northern Army cavalry commander raided the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, arrested the Marquis of Longyi who had committed adultery with his father's maid on the spot, and arrested the relevant personnel Tangyi Marquis's son Chen Jixu, Tangyi Marquis Yumaid Green Clothes, the results of the interrogation have come out."
Dou Yifang shook suddenly: "What did you say?" Do you repeat again? ”
"Yes, last night......"
"Shut up! Let me let you talk about the point, how did Chan'er and Su'er get arrested? ”
"Long considered the crime of adultery between Hou Chen Chan and his father's maidservant, and Chen Ji, the son of the Hou of Tangyi, must maliciously frame the crime."
When!
The crutches fell.
Dou Yifang tilted his head and dizzy.
"Imperial Grandmother! What's wrong with you, Grandmother? Liu Che stood up and ordered: "Don't be stunned!" Someone is here to find the Imperial Doctor's Order! (To be continued!)
