"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Qi," Li Xiugong, the founder of the country, the general doctor, the prince of the school, and the governor of Jinghu Xingshangshutai, asked the two Qingke with solemn expressions. "How do you think about the recent changes between the DPRK and China?"
Qingke, originally meant to accompany the lord's vassal elegance, poetry and singing and literary guests, and was not responsible for giving advice to the lord's family. However, according to the current system of the Chinese imperial court, after all administrative affairs from top to bottom were broken down into specific posts, it was strictly forbidden for officials at all levels to privately hire friends to assist in handling government affairs. However, there were policies and countermeasures, and the Qing guests, who were not explicitly banned, quickly replaced the master who was engaged in specific government affairs and became the new political advisers who offered advice and advice to the senior officials.
The two Qingke glanced at each other, and one of them asked rhetorically, "Dong Weng can refer to the edict of Ming three days ago?" ”
Li Xiugong nodded: "Exactly, it is the edict of the prince to view the government, you say, what does the saint mean by this?" ”
On April 19, the 22nd year of Wucheng, the emperor's eldest son, the Duke of Changsha County, and the second son of the emperor, the Duke of Liuguo, appeared in the court, causing a great shock. The court unanimously believed that this was a harbinger of the establishment of the reserve, but Zheng Kezhang arranged for the two to return at the same time, which made the ownership of the reserve position confusing.
On April 22, Zheng Kezhang issued a decree to crown Zheng Andi, the Duke of Changsha County, as the Duke of Qiguo. Prior to this, only the second son of the emperor Zheng Anyang and the third son of the emperor Zheng Anyu were enshrined as the queen's concubines, so this addition was naturally regarded by the government and the opposition as a declaration that Zheng Kezhang deliberately improved Zheng Andi's political status.
Under what circumstances should Zheng Andi's political status be improved? For those who have a certain political vision, they hardly need to think about it, and the answer is about to come out - in the final analysis, a qiē is nothing more than a foreshadowing for Zheng Andi's ability to be crowned the crown prince.
Just as the courtiers with the concept of concubine were preparing to write a protest, Zheng Kezhang ordered Zheng Anjie to enter Duzhi Province to govern the government and Zheng Anyang to enter the Yantie Province to govern the government on the first day of the fifth month. This order confused everyone again, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this volatile supreme gourd, and Li Xiugong is obviously also a figure who sees flowers in the fog.
"The Sacred Heart is unfathomable." Mr. Qi said something that can never be wrong. "I'm afraid this matter was deliberately done by the Holy One."
"Of course the old man knows that this is deliberately done by the saint." It is said that he has already achieved the three-grade feudal territory, Li Xiugong should have some city government a long time ago, and he should not have been so out of shape in front of the Qing guests, but the merit of supporting the establishment is the key to further progress for him, and he cannot turn a blind eye. "The question is, whoever belongs to the Sacred Heart, one wrong step may be doomed."
"Dong Weng, what Mr. Hao Zhai means is that the saint has already made a decision, but he doesn't want to listen to the government and the opposition, so he is making a fool of himself." Although he felt that Li Xiugong was too much of a gain or a loss, Mr. Zhao still said his opinion slowly. "Of course, the saint also has the intention of cherishing talents for the country, so as not to make a mistake and be hated by the new emperor in the future."
Li Gongxiu's eyelids jumped: "According to what Mr. means, should you not respond to all changes?" Isn't it too conservative. ”
Mr. Qi shook his head: "Dong Weng, since the establishment of this dynasty, there have been several trends in the ownership of the crown prince, so where are those who write and talk now?" Don't be cautious. ”
Prudence is inevitable, but Li Xiugong has worked hard for decades, but he doesn't want to be weak and fall short when he is only two steps away from the county baron, so he pondered for a moment and asked again: "Today is different from the past, there have long been rumors in the palace that the Holy Lord and the queen have abdicated for sixty years, and now it seems that it is true." ”
Mr. Zhao sighed: "Dong Weng wants to improve, and the students have nothing to say, but the rumors in the palace are many mysterious, and they should not be believed." ”
Being able to become the governor of a province, Li Xiugong is not a simple person, so after thinking about it for a while, he realized what he ignored: "What does Mr. mean is that the queen played a role in the abdication of the saint?" Will the throne still be passed to the Duke of Liuguo? ”
"It's possible." Mr. Zhao shook his head and said. "But we must also take into account the so-called sixty abdications of the saints, which is not without the intention of forcing the palace, but I am afraid that even if the saints promise, there will be a lot of unwillingness in their hearts, so there are Qi Guogong and Liu Guogong watching the government at the same time."
Li Xiugong's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "In other words, the saint is dissatisfied with the queen, and he may not pass on the throne to the Duke of Liuguo." ”
"Whether the saint is dissatisfied with the queen or not, we and other courtiers have no way of knowing, but it is clear that the saint is jealous of the Chen family and the Hong family." Mr. Qi analyzed. "Ten years ago, the saint was gradually cleaning up his relatives, and now, the death of the big uncle, the death of Hong Laofu, the envoy of the Hong Privy Council and the uncle of the small country are far away, and most of the relatives of Chen and Hong have been released to the rivers and lakes, and there is only family affection between the queen and the saint, at this time, who will succeed to the throne of the saint, I am afraid that the queen will not be able to interfere."
Mr. Zhao said faintly: "I heard that Concubine Hui was given death by the queen, and the saint's favor Qi Guogong also has the intention of demonstrating to the queen. ”
"Standing up is not long, this is the rule of all dynasties." Li Xiugong's eyes flashed with a hint of danger. "I'm afraid that if the Holy Lord wants to establish the Duke of Qi as the crown prince, it will inevitably be the world."
"The world is surging? When did the saint be afraid? Mr. Qi chuckled. The Holy One is the founder of a generation, how can he stick to the rules, and he will definitely be able to cut through the waves and thorns and find a new way. ”
"Mr. Dong Weng and Mr. Hao Zhai's words, students can't agree with them." Mr. Zhao objected unexpectedly. "A few years ago, the Holy Lord may still have the courage and perseverance to open the world, but now that he is getting older, the Holy Lord no longer has the energy to fight with his subordinates, so there is a compromise in political affairs." Mr. Zhao's remarks, of course, refer to Zheng Kezang's concessions in the reform of the bureaucratic system. "Now, the delay in disclosing the candidate for the crown prince is certainly a secret reserve that was agreed in the morning, but it may not be because of the fear of opposition from the world."
Mr. Zhao mentioned for the second time that Zheng Kezhang was worried that the government and the opposition would oppose him, and Li Xiugong clasped his hands together and said: "The saint is worried that he will choose the Duke of Qi as his heir and will not be recognized by the world, maybe this is the old man's chance." ”
After speaking, Li Xiugong, who was in his chest, stood up: "The old man will pay tribute to the table, and ask the saint to establish an heir to the meritocracy??????"
Leaving Li Xiugong's study, Mr. Qi discussed with Mr. Zhao with a little uneasiness: "Brother Aitao, is Dong Weng's decision too rash, after all, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and there are many variables during the period. ”
Mr. Zhao replied powerlessly: "Dong Weng only thought about entering the court as a servant and a scholar, but he never thought that whether or not to establish a prince and who to establish as a prince is a private matter of the royal family. ”
"You're saying we're looking for another proprietor?" Mr. Qi was taken aback. "Probably not. The so-called three gangs of a good man, since the saint has the heart to establish the Duke of Qi as the heir, it is necessary to leave a few ministers to help him, the more Dong Weng makes it clear that the carriage and horses, the more the saint will keep him. Therefore, it may not be possible to enter the DPRK, but it is possible to stay in Jinghu or change provinces. ”
"Not necessarily." Mr. Zhao thought deeper. "Let's just say that the Duke of Qi Guo has entered the throne, and his name is not right, but the saint just gave way instead of passing away, and his old man suppressed it, for three or five years, the new emperor may not be able to gain a firm foothold, so why keep those who were intended to speculate before."
Mr. Zhao's words obviously mean that Li Xiugong is not a pure minister, but Mr. Qi thinks so: "Today, the holy candle shines, and the Ming is clear, but I am afraid that Dong Weng's thoughts will not be hidden, and I am afraid that Dong Weng will be put into another book." ”
"Now it's up to Dong Weng's recital to report to the Holy Lord's disposal." Mr. Zhao saw that Mr. Qi had the same judgment as himself, so he made a point. "If the Holy Lord is furious and throws Dong Weng into the prison, then things may have a turnaround, but if the Holy Lord stays in the middle or discusses it tomorrow, I am afraid that the catastrophe will come in an instant."
Mr. Qi asked a little puzzled, "Brother Aitao, what is the reason?" ”
"Entering the prison is to prepare talents for the prince, and if it is tomorrow, it will set up a target for the people of the world to attack." Mr. Zhao explained. "In this way, the saint himself can take it out and watch the wind and rudder on the side, but he nailed Dong Weng to the position of the minister who invited the fortunate minister, and the result is self-evident." Mr. Zhao sighed again. "It's the same with staying in China, although the Tongzheng Yuan is not a leaky sieve, but there are one or two people who have a heart to promote it for Dong Weng."
Mr. Qi understands that staying in the middle is ambiguous, and it will also send out signals, so it will also cause trouble, thinking of the unpredictable emperor's mental tricks, Mr. Qi sighed: "This official also has the difficulty of being an official, and he has to figure out his intentions all the time, and he has to be the scapegoat above, always facing wind and rain, and I don't know what he did in his previous life." ”
"That's a little sour." Mr. Zhao was amused by Mr. Qi's words. "Don't we want to be officials and can't be where we are today, but we can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour."
Mr. Qi said with a straight face: "In the past, being an official was noble and rich, but now being an official is no matter how big or small, and it is not appropriate to be such an official." ”
"That's both right and wrong." Mr. Zhao shook his head and nodded again. "In the past, the Qing nobles had their own filthy officials to spread cloth for them, so they were idle and rich, and now everyone has to go from the officials, and naturally they are staring at it tightly, and it is not good to get involved, and there is no way to think about it, so I naturally feel that things are complicated and boring." Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao smiled dumbly. "What are you doing with me, do you still want to try to start as a junior official?"
Mr. Qi also snorted: "How is it possible, it's a joke." Okay, let's disperse, you and I will find a way out, don't be caught off guard when something is coming, then it's not good. ”
Mr. Zhao followed and arched his hand: "Then so be it, I hope Dong Weng can pass this hurdle, and the future is limitless, and you and I don't have to be cunning." Don't ?????? it."
