Chapter 539: The Empress Dowager Wants to Abolish the Emperor (17)
Zichen Palace, the interior of the front hall of the imperial hall.
There is a dragon chair standing high in the middle, there is a phoenix seat hanging curtain on the upper left, and below is the rank of a hundred officials, among all the hundred officials, the lowest status is also a member of the third grade, lower than the third grade, unless the emperor specially recruits it, the rest are not qualified to come in at all.
Except, of course, for the temple examination.
For many literati who have no way to reach the third rank in their lives, the palace examination is the first time they have entered here, and it may be the only time.
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, the minister impeached the general Wenren for supporting the army and respecting himself, this matter involves your mother's family, and please leave the position of listening to the government for the time being, and avoid one or two."
The meaning of the Imperial Doctor is obvious.
That is, I want to impeach your father for supporting the army and wanting to rebel, you and your father are relatives, so you have to avoid suspicion, you can't listen to politics here anymore, you have to go back to the harem for me.
This is common in many places.
For example, if the son and grandson of a first- and second-class member want to take the imperial examination, even if the imperial examination has been presided over by this first- and second-class member many times in the past, then he cannot participate in it this time, which is to avoid suspicion.
It's really hard for them to find such a lame reason to get Wen Renlian away.
They also think very clearly.
In their eyes, the reason why Wen Renlian was able to have the power she has now, Wen Renlian herself does not have much ability, mainly relying on the support of her father and her two elder brothers, as long as they find a way to get her father and her two elder brothers out of power, whether it is to kill or take away their military power, then even if Wen Renlian turns back and listens to politics again, it is useless, and she has no ability.
So, don't you start.
"Oh, why doesn't the mourning family know that the father of the mourning family supports the army and respects himself, what kind of soldier does he have?
Heavy, and where is the weight? ”
Wen Renlian sat behind the curtain and didn't feel panicked at all, but calmed down, and even held the chance of victory, and asked downward with a smile.
"Queen Mother, your father already has more than 300,000 troops, and your two elder brothers also have 100,000 and 200,000 troops, adding up to a full 600,000 army, isn't this considered self-respect?
I hope that the mother will not make mistakes.
Get out of here. ”
Zhang Shoufu was worried that the imperial history would not dare to directly talk to the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly stood up and said.
The rest of the ministers also echoed it.
Even many military generals were persuaded by some civil officials, although they did not echo it, but they were silent, and it was not a good thing for all civil and military officials to dominate one family, and it would affect their future expansion of their own power and connections.
"Oh, are you sure?"
Wen Renlian was still smiling.
The tone is very relaxed.
This ease made the civil officials below a little worried, worried about whether their behavior had already been known to Wen Renlian, and even had a plan to deal with it.
But it has come to this, and it is not their nature to retreat, so it is natural to continue.
Wen Renlian was in no mood to continue playing word games with them at this time, so she clapped her hands on the spot, and then, a female officer walked out from the side, still holding a wooden box in her hand.
"Open the wooden box and show them."
Following Wen Renlian's instructions, the female officer who had just come out immediately opened the box and stood up the box slightly, so that all the civil and military officials below could see the contents of the box.
The contents of the box are simple.
It's not a horror thing, it's not a human head or anything, it's just three bronze medals.
But these three bronze medals are talismans.
That's right, Wen Renlian already knew about the movements of the civil and military officials below, so the day after she learned the news, she immediately sent someone to communicate with her father and her two elder brothers, and asked them to hand over all the talismans in their hands to her.
To tell the truth, Wen Renlian now even wants to thank these civil and military officials, if it weren't for the sudden attack of these civil and military officials, then where would she have the opportunity to get the three talismans in the hands of her father and her brother, in the past, if she wanted to ascend the throne and want military power, then she had to find ways to persuade her father and brother, now she holds the military talisman as long as she completely grasps it, then, she may become a real power queen mother, a real power queen mother with military power, or even a real power emperor.
Such a big benefit came out of nowhere.
I can't thank these officials.
However, at this time, the civil and military officials below didn't know Wen Renlian's inner thoughts, they only felt that Wen Renlian was too much of a chicken thief, what was the difference between putting things in the hands of her father and her brother and putting them in her hands, not all of them were in the hands of your Wen people, but doing so did completely break their previous impeachment of the imperial history.
They impeached the self-respect of the army.
Now people don't even have a talisman.
It's a woolen yarn!
In this court fight, Wen Renlian won completely.
However, Wen Renlian already knew that the hundred officials were beginning to be jealous of her at this time, and she knew that the hundred officials at this time must be even more jealous of her holding the talisman.
Therefore, she must now come up with something that will be useful for the present and for the future, which will not only increase her fame, but also increase her popularity.
In order to deter the officials.
Let them not dare to act rashly.
Gain yourself more time, too.
Therefore, when the civil and military officials began to die down and were ready to think of other ways to impeach, Wen Renlian clapped her hands again, and another female official came out, also holding a box.
The officials below are about to have a shadow on the box, and when they saw the Queen Mother and she made another box, they couldn't help but look at each other, I don't know what tricks the Queen Mother is doing?
"Open it."
With the order, the second wooden box was also opened, and all the ministers could see that the box contained several ears of rice as long as their eyes were not short-sighted, and they suddenly felt even more strange.
This is not a year or a festival, even if it shows that the world has a bumper harvest, there is no need to put only ears of rice.
"Li Qing, take it down and show them."
Wen Renlian commanded again.
Immediately, the female official who had just held the wooden box quickly walked down the stairs and displayed the ears of rice in front of the ministers one by one.
When it was shown to some families, as well as some officials who were born in poor families but had basically never been to the farmland, those officials were basically at a loss, not knowing what to look good about the rice ear, and it was displayed until the back, showing it to an official who was really born in a peasant family and had personally gone to the field and worked in front of the official, the official was shocked, and said excitedly:
"This ...... Is this true? ”
As he spoke, his hands were even trembling with excitement, and he wanted to pick up those ears of rice to see if they were real or fake, the female officer wanted to stop them, but Wen Renlian, who was sitting on them, immediately said, "Let him see." ”
The order was given, and the official took out an ear of rice from the box with trembling hands.
Count them one by one.
Count the number of rice on the panicle.
After a long time, his voice trembled in surprise and shouted, "125, 125!"
This is really the Valley of the Gods, mother! ”
As he spoke, his eyes were already filled with tears.
