Chapter 074: Changes in Xuandemen

The Great Reckoning between the DPRK and China is still in full swing, but so far, there is no sign of this political storm blowing on Han Zhongyan; As Han Qi's eldest son and the current representative of the Han family in the court, Han Zhongyan can be described as 'rooted and miaohong', and the identity of the old party does not need to be disputed.

Strangely, the military now seems to have become a haven of tranquility in the midst of this political storm, and the liquidation movement seems to have deliberately avoided the military, and even the core figures of the old party such as Han Zhongyan have been preserved.

Perhaps, this is only temporary!

Yang Yi thought so, if it weren't for the old woman who came to the house, Yang Yi wouldn't have paid so much attention to Han Zhongyan; It doesn't matter if it's a personal vendetta in the communiqué, since his cruel words came out, Yang Yi will never sit back and wait for Han Zhongyan to attack first;

Reform people first, and then control people. Not only Uncle Sam in later generations, but our ancestors summed up this wise saying thousands of years ago.

What's more, Han Zhongyan is a very authentic Yuanyou party, and the two sides are already in a hostile camp, Yang Yi decided to immediately lead Zhang Dian's blade to Han Zhongyan's neck, this time to see the Han family, which has deep roots and leaves, can withstand Zhang Dian's peerless divine weapon a few cuts.

At the beginning of the morning, Yang Yi rode a horse and waited at the intersection, Zhang Dian came out and saw him sitting on the horse with his shoulders straight, so he smiled and said: "It is said that the south boat and the north horse, I don't want to be good at riding!" ”

What words? Don't look at what we used to do, let alone riding horses, even if we can fly helicopters, I can't talk about you old antiques; Yang Yi replied with a hearty smile in the morning light: "Old man Zhang, Fujian doesn't produce horses, aren't you a Fujian boy who rides well?" ”

'Fujian Tsai' was used by Su Shi and others to call Lu Huiqing at the beginning, and Yang Yi borrowed it here, which was full of ridicule, which caused Zhang Duan to laugh more than once. Speaking of Fujian in the past few decades, there are really many talents, just a little closer, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dan, Zhang Qi, Cai Qu, Su Song, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Huang Lu and others are all Fujianese, and basically belong to the reform faction, like Su Song, although he did not fall into the old and new party disputes, but his innovative spirit did not fall behind at all, Yuanfeng reform can be said to be completed by Su Song.

"Zhuang Yuanlang deliberately waited for the old man here, wouldn't he just call the old man a Fujian boy?"

"For Han Zhongyan!" Yang Yi did not hide his purpose at all, for an old fox like Zhang Dian, he could basically guess what kind of fart you were going to put as soon as you lowered your buttocks, rather than beating around the bush and making people look down on him, it was better to say his original intention directly.

Zhang Dian smiled and said, "Is it because of Li Qingchen's wife?" ”

"It can only be said that she reminded me that I noticed Han Zhongyan!" Yang Yi came closer, and then said softly: "Since Wang Jinggong implemented the new policy, Han Qi has been the main opponent, the Han family is intertwined, and its influence cannot be ignored, it can be said that the Han family is a banner of the old school; Moreover, the army is the blade of His Majesty and the imperial court, how can the handle of the sword be in the hands of the other party? ”

Zhang Dian listened noncommittally, just smiled faintly, and Yang Yi didn't say anything more, because he clearly saw from Zhang Dan's eyes that only debt collectors had light; In the morning breeze of Xixi, the two rode into the Xuande Gate.

"Who? How dare you gallop in the palace? Come on! Take it for me! ”

Suddenly, there was a guard on duty in the Xuande Gate who shouted loudly, only to see him give an order, more than a dozen shifts rushed up without saying anything, some waved whips, some held spears, and the head and face of the two of them were beaten, and Zhang Dan's horse head was also whipped, and the horses were frightened, and people stood up, fortunately Yang Yi got close and held Zhang Dian, otherwise he would have to be taken off the horse.

After Yang Yi helped Zhang Dun off the horse, the two of them stood there and watched quietly, although the wolf-like guard on duty did not make a dead hand, but the entourage of the two did not dare to resist, at this time they were all beaten to the nose and swollen face, Xuande Gate is the only way to enter and exit the three provinces and two courts, at this time it is the time for the Shangya to sit on duty, many officials saw this scene in their eyes, and they all turned their heads and ears.

Yang Yi looked at Zhang Dian with some concern, not knowing how he would react.

Xuande Gate is the gate of the Imperial Palace, the gate is facing the Royal Street, the six Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty is set up in the thousand-step corridor on both sides of the Royal Street, but the east and west mansions and pavilions are in the palace city, since the founding of the country, the Great Song Dynasty has not explicitly stipulated that the officials should get off the horse at the Xuande Gate, and it is customary for everyone to ride into the Xuande Gate, and only dismount when they get off the fence inside. …,

In fact, everyone knows that the focus of the matter is not the question of whether to dismount inside or outside the door, Zhang Dian is the prime minister of the dynasty, and if no one is behind the guards guarding the palace, even if it is for the purpose of maintaining the dignity of the royal family, he will not dare to attack the prime minister so blatantly.

This is a naked insult, the purpose of which is to disgrace and lose all his prestige, and Zhang is the core figure of the New Party, and striking at him is tantamount to striking at the aggressive offensive of the entire New Party.

Who is the power to instruct the palace attendants to do this? Yang Yi and Zhang Dian glanced at each other, and unconsciously looked in the direction of Longyou Palace.

In the Longyou Palace, Xiang Empress Dowager sat with her eyes closed, the rosary in her hand was plucked one by one, slowly and rhythmically, Shang Qingren, the old eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, stood behind her, holding a feather fan and fanning gently, a little eunuch came in at the right time, walked to Shang Qingren lightly and whispered a few words, and then exited the hall.

"Queen Mother, it's done, it just so happens that Yang Yi, the new champion, is also there."

Empress Dowager Xiang didn't move her eyelids, and said softly: "Okay, this Yang Yi relied on the love of the official family, and dared to contradict me, just to extinguish his arrogance first, sooner or later I will make him regret not being at the beginning; Qingren, have you confessed everything that should be explained? ”

Shang Qingren bowed down and responded: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, everything is clear." ”

"Hmm!"

The hall was quiet again, Shang Qingren had something in his heart, and the movements in his hands slowed down inadvertently, and he frowned slightly at the Queen Mother: "Qingren, do you also think it's inappropriate to do this?" ”

Shang Qingren thought about it again and replied cautiously: "Queen Mother, this matter can't be hidden!" ”

Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly opened, and she whispered: "The old body doesn't plan to hide it from anyone!" Didn't you see that day? A small living house man dares to disobey the old body, where is my old wife in their eyes? ”

"But the official side ......"

"Can I not know the thoughts of the official family? But if there is no Zhang Dun and these traitors to help the official family, can the official family be like this? Now that all the loyal and upright ministers in the court and the government have been degraded, not to mention, even the Empress Dowager Xuanren, who is praised by the government and the opposition as Shunyao among women, has been accused by these ministers of being an old traitor and trespassing the country, what are they going to do? If they continue to toss like this, my Great Song Foundation will be destroyed in the hands of these people, and then what face will I have to see my ancestors and ancestors? ”

The more Xiang Xiang's mother spoke, the more excited she became, and her tone became more and more aggressive, in fact, how to toss outside, it didn't have much to do with her, the queen mother, but as soon as Zhang Shangying and others pointed the finger at Gao Tao, Xiang Queen Mother immediately felt that the crisis was pervasive.

Empress Dowager Xiang and Gao Tao can be said to be in the same vein, at the beginning, Gao Tao was there, and he could still suppress Zhao Xu, but now Zhao Xu is in power, and the fierceness he shows makes the lonely Empress Dowager Xiang very uneasy.

Zhao Xu's mother, Concubine Zhu De, is still there, this woman from a civilian family with a weak personality has always been respectful to Gao Tao and the Empress Dowager, but she has still been suppressed by Gao Tao and the Empress Dowager Xiang, saying that the mother is precious by her son, Zhao Xu ascended the throne as the emperor, and according to the convention, his mother should be named the queen mother, but only the title of concubine was awarded.

This is still secondly, Gao Taotao took Zhao Xu with him all day long, Concubine Zhu didn't even have the right to see her son, Shenzong died, the queen of the main palace did not go to mourn, let Concubine Zhu go to mourn for three years, clothing, cars, umbrellas, etc. have harsh requirements, the monthly money is the same as ordinary concubines, do not set up the name of the palace, and are not allowed to go to the main gate of the palace Xuande Gate alone, all kinds of behaviors are extremely mean to Concubine Zhu.

When Concubine Zhu escorted the coffin of Shenzong to Yongyu Mausoleum, she passed through Yong'an. Han Jiang, the prefect of Henan, came to greet the coffin, and at the same time met with Concubine Zhu, which was later learned by Gao Taotao, and he was furious and called Concubine Zhu to scold loudly: "Han Jiang is the minister of the first dynasty, how can you accept his salute?" ”

Concubine Zhu was so frightened that her face turned pale, she couldn't stand on her knees, and she didn't even dare to argue a word, but just admitted her mistake one after another.

It is said that she is the concubine of Emperor Shenzong, the mother of the current emperor Zhao Xu, it is not wrong to accept a courtier's salute on the way to escort the coffin, but in Gao Taotao's eyes, it has become a big mistake, Zhao Xu watched his mother and relatives on the side being scolded like a slave, panicked and helpless, he could only endure silently, and he couldn't even say a word of comfort to his mother.

This piece and piece of old things, compare the heart to the heart, if it is you who has been wronged so much, what will you do? Now these things are a thorn in the heart of the Empress Dowager, the New Party has just pointed the finger at Gao Taotao, and Xiang Dahou suddenly felt restless, if the New Party is allowed to liquidate like this, sooner or later it will be liquidated on her head, and she did not do less to suppress Concubine Zhu at the beginning, and the New Party even dared to refer to the late Gao Taotao as an 'old traitor and trespassing', and would still look at her in his eyes? …,

She didn't have much to do, so she could only use the blurred boundary of Xuandemen again to disgrace Zhang's face and prestige, so that Zhangdun took the initiative to resign from the post of prime minister.

Qu Weisheng took the lead in beating people, and only gave up after a stern reprimand, Yang Yi stood beside Zhang Dan, and saw that Zhang Dan's face was unwavering, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and the entourage of the two was injured one by one, and after Zhang Duan asked them to withdraw, he walked towards Baowen Pavilion with Yang Yi.

Halfway through, Yang Yi said softly: "Zhang Xianggong, I think this is just the first wave, if you don't resign, the impeachment of you from tomorrow will be like snowflakes, thanks to you, it is estimated that I can also get a lot of impeachment movements." ”

"Champion Lang is scared!"

"Afraid? If I'm afraid that I can solve the problem, I'm very afraid! ”

Yang Yi didn't say much, Zhang Dian was like a mirror in his heart, this kind of thing didn't need him to go to the class gate to get an axe, the two of them entered the Baowen Pavilion, Zhao Xu'an sat on the imperial case, as if waiting for them to arrive, after the ceremony, Zhang Dian said the matter of Xuandemen in an unusually calm tone.

Zhao Xu was silent except for the occasional light cough, and when Zhang Xuan finished talking about things, he suddenly asked, "Is Qing going to resign from the table?" ”

"Yes!"

"Then go back and write! Yang Qing also wrote! I'm waiting! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

The three of them only talked for a few words, and Yang Yi and Zhang Dian walked out of the Baowen Pavilion, and then went home to write their resignations!

Contrary to Yang Yi's expectations, the reaction of all parties was faster than he guessed, and it came much more violently, before noon, the old party's impeachment of Zhang Dian and his recital were piled up on Zhao Xu's desk, the content was nothing more than quoting scriptures to say that the two were arrogant and domineering, contemptuous of imperial power, etc., and the closeness of internal and external cooperation was breathtaking;

On the other hand, Zhang Shangying and others of the New Party were extremely nervous, and it was not without ministers who could ride horses in the palace in all dynasties, but that was a kind of honor given by the emperor to a very small number of ministers; In this dynasty, the royal family was extremely tolerant of scholars and doctors, and did not strictly abide by these regulations, Xuandemen to the east and west (the Great Song Dynasty used to call the government hall and the Privy Council the east and west) There is still a distance, so the ministers usually ride into the Xuande Gate, and only dismount at the hurdle close to the two provinces, but this is just a habit, and there is no explicit basis as a basis, so Zhang Shangying and they can only use the 'convention' to defend Zhang and the two people.

The problem comes again, you say that the convention is like this, but the old party says that there is no such practice. Previous ministers were like this, you see? Why didn't we see it? Why didn't the palace guards see it?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the previous ministers are like this, it doesn't mean that they are right, they are not caught, it is their good luck, since Zhang Dian and the two of them have been caught, then start to deal with these two people.

In this matter, the New Party is relatively passive.

The old party, which was struggling on the verge of dying, finally saw a ray of light, how could it let go of such an opportunity, but all those who could still put pen to paper were impeached one after another, vowing to pull Zhang Dian off the horse.
