562: Your flattery is too chic
This kind of thing is not uncommon among the powerful, and it is really not a big deal to talk about it in private, but to bring down the Jinluan Palace, and then be impeached, or in such a period of struggle, it is really a big thing, don't say human life, it is a small matter of favoritism, and it will become a big thing.
After Zhang Shun finished speaking, there was a crack in Wang Ge Lao's upright face, he thought that the matter was very secret, but he didn't want to be picked up, he was upright, but he made an exception for his only son, and this is nothing in the elite circle, I never thought that it was nothing and now it smeared a smear on his last official career.
He knew that even if this matter was picked up, he would not be punished much, but this position would definitely not be able to sit down, although he should have retired, but in this way, it really discredited the integrity of his life.
He wanted to argue, but to argue was to admit it, and he couldn't admit it.
"Zhang Shun, pay attention to evidence in everything, but it is not empty words and white teeth." After Wang Ge Lao shook his head slightly, he looked solemn.
"This kind of thing has a case record, and I implore Your Majesty to let the Criminal Department check the case record."
Since you have moved up, the emperor can't be ignored, "The Criminal Department has received an order, and I order you to inspect the relevant case records within seven days." ”
As with the Fulin Officials, the Emperor gave seven days.
"Commandment." Listed is Huo Hanyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
The emperor has given orders, and Wang Ge Lao has nothing to say, but what appears on his face is upright.
The emperor did not suspend the post of the elder of the Wang Pavilion, which can be regarded as a kind of support and respect for him, after all, he is the elder of the two dynasties.
……
After the next dynasty, Wang Ge Lao did not go to the cabinet to deal with government affairs in the slightest, even if Lu Ge Lao ridiculed him, it failed to make him collapse at all, what he did back then was very obscure, it was more than ten years ago, he didn't think that he could find out anything in just seven days, and he did it very cleanly at that time.
Until he was on his way home at night, the carriage broke halfway, and fortunately the thing was found in time, and the old man Wang Ge was not injured, so he could only get off the car halfway and go home on foot.
This is nothing, but on a deserted street corner, Wang Ge Lao was blocked by someone, and this person was none other than Du Zhen.
The moment he saw Du Zhen, Wang Ge Lao's face was as gloomy as this night.
"Your Excellency." Don't mention what kind of mood you should do, you still have to salute, after all, the other party's official rank is there.
"Elder Wangge." Du Zhen said hello in a deep voice.
"The carriage is broken, and there is still a way to walk, where is the prime minister going?"
"Waiting for you." Since he can come, there is no need to hide it anymore.
Wang Ge Lao's complexion changed suddenly, and he had already realized something in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and after his face changed slightly, he returned to normal, "I don't know what happened to the prime minister and other officials?" ”
"Wang Qun, since Prime Minister Ben can come to you, he will speak directly if he has something to say. You have reached the age of retiring from the court, just like you have carefully painted a painting, and you see that you are about to finish it, but in the last few strokes, you have ruined the whole painting, are you willing? ”
Wang Qun's heart couldn't help beating faster, "How did the prime minister know that if the last few strokes were not written well, he would be confused?" ”
"Wang Qun, Prime Minister Ben has come to you in person, do you think you won't be confused in these last few strokes?"
In another person, Wang Qun really didn't necessarily feel pain, but Du Zhen came in person, "What does the prime minister think?" ”
"The prime minister feels that Wang Ge is not young in old age, and it is time to retreat from the court and go home, whether the last few strokes can be painted well is all up to Wang Ge Lao himself, Wang Ge always wants to paint a perfect painting and go home to enjoy his old age, or want to ruin the whole painting with the last stroke, these are all chosen by Wang Ge Lao himself. Although His Majesty gave him seven days, Wang Ge Lao only had three days to make a decision, and it was up to Wang Ge Lao to decide how to develop in the future. The prime minister also came out for a walk at night and met Wang Ge Lao, chatted a few words, Wang Ge Lao didn't have to worry, go home and think slowly, there are three days. ”
After finishing speaking, Du Zhen didn't say much, and directly missed Wang Ge Lao passing by him in a few steps.
The highest level of threat to people is never to press and let go of cruel words step by step, but to stop at the point, and the often unpredictable unknown is the most terrifying.
Wang Qun did not leave Du Zhen, but walked forward with his feet a little blank, he thought that he had done it seamlessly, but he also knew that the wall was impermeable, since it had been impeached in the Jinluan Palace, it must have been exposed, even if more than ten years have passed.
If another one threatens him like this, he will not be affected, but the other party is Du Zhen who covers the sky with one hand in the court.
……
Although Du Zhen picked a time when the night was thick, it did not affect the emperor at all, and he did not deliberately hide it, he just wanted to turn the emperor to know, and how Wang Qun would choose in the end, so as to attack the emperor.
"Yesterday evening, Du Zhen met Wang Qun on the road."
When Gu Qin came to report on the prince's schoolwork, Ji Chengye told Gu Qin about it, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.
"What does Your Majesty want?"
"I don't want to do anything, I can't do the same thing as Du Zhen, these days there is a storm in the court, most of the things that Wang Qun was impeached are real, so it also gives Du Zhen a handle, it is impossible for me to cover it up knowingly, if I am like this, how will I rule in the future?"
"So Your Majesty is the king, the prime minister is the minister, the prime minister's vision is only in the present, not in the long run, the reason why the prime minister can be so powerful is that he was born so many years earlier than His Majesty."
Gu Qin is not touting, he has been with Ji Chengye for a long time, he saw Ji Chengye's special creation, and he was more willing to follow.
"Is this a consolation?" Ji Chengye chuckled and joked.
"Your Majesty said that it is more appropriate for the ministers to flatter you." Gu Qin, this is a cold joke.
Ji Chengye couldn't help but laugh directly, "Your flattery is too chic." ”
Xu said a few jokes with Gu Qin, and Ji Chengye felt that his heart was not so heavy.
"Wang Qun was already in the time to retreat, and he definitely didn't want to leave a stain on his official career, Du Zhen went to him in person, and his choice was obvious."
"Not necessarily, Wang Ge Lao is very stubborn, I am afraid that what happened back then was only because the other party was his own son, and it had reached the point of crisis life, Wang Ge Lao had to seek death, and the son of Wang Ge Lao also missed that incident, and various reasons have yet to be investigated. Your Majesty can let people pass the word to Wang Ge Lao, just follow the prime minister, and it can be regarded as selling Wang Ge Lao's favor, at least Wang Ge Lao will not push Wang Ge Lao to the prime minister. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Qin paused slightly before continuing.
