Chapter 402: Tongue Sword
After all, Han Sheng failed to change Liu Yu's determination to enter the palace.
Su Yan saw that he couldn't block Liu Yu's way into the palace, so he had to change the blockage to sparseness, and in order not to cause chaos in the imperial court, he only discussed this matter with a few officials of the Shaozhuang faction. After all, the Shaozhuang faction is young and vigorous, and in their opinion, even if Liu Wenyan wants to enter the palace to participate in the court discussion, it is not a big deal.
In the court discussion, it is natural that the discussion should be the main thing, and how big the matter will be depends on how big the matter is. If we talk about the repair of the South City Gate tomorrow, and then talk about giving the officials in the DPRK two days of annual leave, is it possible that Liu Wenyan can still break through the sky from such a trivial matter?
Su Yan was very satisfied with the collective efforts of the Shaozhuang faction, so he hurriedly wrote a few articles to be discussed by the court tomorrow, and sent them to the hands of the officials of the Liutai Yamen overnight, and also let those old ministers know that since Liu Wenyan, the Marquis of Wuyi, wants to enter the palace to discuss matters, then it can't be discussed too much, otherwise it will not be good for Liu Wenyan to be menacing and cause irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides. The matter of the discussion can't be too child's play, otherwise Liu Wenyan will feel that the court is a bureau set up for him, and it is not good for the court to play a scene to fool him.
Everything has to have a degree.
In order to make things go smoothly, Su Yan also made a rehearsal with several officials of the Shaozhuang faction, represented by everyone in the Shaozhuang faction, incarnated as Liu Wenyan to give problems to the new emperor and hundreds of officials in the court meeting, to grasp Liu Wenyan's arrogance, but also to grasp his mentality of losing power and hoping to make a difference in the court. Su Yan really regarded a court meeting as the whole of the overall situation of the imperial court, and it was not until late at night that this rehearsal was over. The officials of the Shaozhuang faction seemed to have acted in a drama, and they were tired and anxious, but fortunately, the new emperor was very satisfied. I also gave them some small gifts. After that, the new emperor went back to the inner court. Now Queen Sun Xiaoyu is pregnant. However, the emperor at this time was also very busy.
Seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and now Su Yan also has his own "big family".
The palace is ready, and the officials of the six yamen have to do their homework overnight, this is the first court meeting that Liu Wenyan participated in after returning to Chang'an City, if the matter is not handled well, then Liu Wenyan's power will rise again in Chang'an City. Civilian officials obviously don't want to be angry with military generals like Liu Wenyan, and it is also the consensus of civilian officials that martial artists can't be a country, and now Yuan Bolang is losing power. Led by Lan He, they were ready to fight with Liu Wenyan in the court and suppress Liu Wenyan's ambitions.
Su Bi is also preparing, although she doesn't know what tricks Liu Wenyan will make the next day, but it is nothing more than to use military and political affairs as a fuse, and it is likely to extend to the Turkic envoys. To say that the Turkic envoys also came to Chang'an City, but because of the heavy snow in the past two days, the imperial court has not had time to meet them, will Liu Wenyan force the imperial court to form an alliance with the Turks? Or is there a conspiracy to do something wrong in this matter?
All parties prepared all night, and when they arrived at the court the next day, they could obviously feel that they were all in a state of malaise. The rest was not good, but it did not affect their preparation, they were already gearing up. is ready to fight with Liu Wenyan in the court. When they saw Liu Wenyan appear in Fengcui Palace in an unofficial and tasteless Confucian costume, everyone cheered up and revisited the truths that they had debated with Liu Wenyan in their hearts, so as not to make logical mistakes in their speeches for a while.
Orators also need to be prepared.
But Liu Wenyan obviously didn't give them such a chance.
Liu Yu did not come to the court to listen to the construction of the pond or the city wall, or to raise the salary, he came for only one purpose, to play the book at the court meeting. He entered Fengcui Palace with the playbook in his hand, and all the officials present felt bad, Liu Wenyan was winning the initiative, as long as he got on the playbook, that is, he would discuss what he wanted to discuss today, and the previous preparations would be done in vain.
However, Su Bi and some officials with a heart, such as Lan He and some old ministers, have also made preparations in this regard, as long as Liu Wenyan makes a move, they will have a way to deal with it.
But after learning what Liu Yu played, it was Su Bi, and she also felt that Liu Yu was a little "messing around".
said that Liu Wenyan was not here to look for trouble, he must have come to find trouble, because the content he played was actually very simple, that is, to ask the emperor to revoke the will made yesterday and renegotiate whether to move Concubine Lin to the Qianfeng General's Mansion. Other than that, Liu Wenyan didn't mention anything else.
The officials prepared for a long time, and when they learned that this was the case, they also muttered in their hearts, there was a round of discussion in the court yesterday, and they still want to discuss it today? It seems a bit of a fuss to move such an innocuous topic to the Liutai Yamen to discuss, but the court discussion has to solve a major matter that the Liutai Yamen cannot solve.
"Marquis Wuyi." Lan He, as a representative of civil officials, can only be the first bird, "This matter has been discussed in the court yesterday, and the emperor has also issued a holy decree, what you played today...... Is it the gist of questioning the emperor's holy decree? ”
Liu Yu looked very arrogant today, stood there and glanced at Lan He with slanted eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
In an uproar, this Liu Wenyan spoke so unceremoniously to Zuo Xiang! If you want to say that Lan He's position as the left minister was promoted by Liu Wenyan, how could Liu Wenyan not even know Lan He?
This is clearly because Liu Wenyan set up a horse against Lan He and punished Lan He for being the left minister, so he threw himself into the civil and official power and drew a clear relationship with Liu Wenyan.
Lan He's face was not good: "The old minister is the left minister, and Lan He is also." ”
"Oh, Lan Xiangguo. Long admiration, long admiration. Liu Wenyan smiled, as if he was first acquaintance with Lan He, "According to Lan Xiangguo's meaning, as long as the emperor makes a decision, it can't be discussed anymore, right?" ”
Lan He's face sank, in fact, he didn't have confidence in his heart: "Of course it is." ”
"Oh? Could it be that the emperor's decision is wrong, and the courtiers can't overdo it? ”
Liu Yuyu is not shocking and endless, this time in the court, he dares to openly say that "the emperor's decision is wrong", and he has to "overkill", isn't that embarrassing the new emperor?
All the ministers glanced at the emperor, and although the emperor at this time had a little embarrassment on his face, he also looked very respectful and said: "What Marquis Wuyi said is extremely true, if the decision I made is wrong, the courtiers should also bring it up." This should be your duty. ”
The emperor has spoken, which means that this question can be raised again today.
However, the civil officials were still very unwilling, and one of the voices came out of the crowd: "Such a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, why don't you take it to the Liutai Yamen to discuss it, and discuss it in the court?" ”
Liu Yu looked at it, and he didn't know who said it. This is a typical shrunken-headed turtle that wants to come out, but doesn't have the guts.
Liu Yu sighed helplessly: "If you six yamen can handle this matter, why use Ben Hou to personally come to the court to play the Son of Heaven?" Just the six of you yamen, let's see how capable you are, and what can't be solved...... One hundred and sixty-seven laborers were employed to repair the city wall, three of whom took leave of absence, and five of whom were absent from work, and asked the Son of Heaven to remove the wages of these eight men from the budget. The ability of your six yamen is really high, and you can't accept it! ”
But all the ministers of the six yamen and the six ministries felt disgraced.
In fact, the example Liu Yu said was just that the new emperor selected from many cases and prepared to discuss it in today's court meeting to fool Liu Wenyan, but he didn't expect Liu Wenyan to use this matter to satirize the court's ineffectiveness. (To be continued......)
