Chapter Ninety-Three: The Imperial Observatory

Qin Xu has ordered people to open the mausoleum of the first emperor and concubine Qi in response to the ministers, and inspected the body of the concubine under the eyes of several important ministers of the court.

But not long after these words were asked, there was silence in front of the palace for a while, and another imperial history minister stood up: "Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that the first emperor and concubine Qi have a loss of virtue and should not be posthumously sealed, and I hope that the saint will think twice."

"You are presumptuous!" Qin Xu was furious when he heard what he said, are the current ministers of imperial history so unsightly? Dare to say bluntly that the mother of the Son of Heaven is virtuous?

"You said that the concubine's virtue is wrong, there is no evidence, and no one in the world dares to punish you for slandering the concubine today!"

Yu Shi said: "The concubine has been in the six palaces for many years, and there are no hundreds of concubines, and the ministers say that the concubine is jealous and hinders the extension of the imperial heir, how many people in the world can do it?"

Qin Xu sneered: "Ridiculous! The concubines have nothing to do, you ask the emperor and the concubines to go, how can you blame the concubines. Such far-fetched words dare to make a big statement in front of the temple!"

Yu Shi stalked his neck and his face was flushed, he had an endless posture, his eyes were sharp, and what he said was even more sharp: "The first emperor abolished the prince and guarded the spirit of the queen for many years, and there was no fault, and His Majesty did not mean to give death, but the concubine privately ordered someone to poison him, causing the body of the abolished prince to be paralyzed, and this matter was chilled in the world!" Isn't this a loss for virtue?"

This old thing, which should have been buried in the spring mud of the past, was turned over so suddenly, and it was clearly placed in front of him, so that Qin Xu had nowhere to avoid.

The surrounding air seems to be frozen, and this paragraph will inevitably cause an uproar in the hearts of hundreds of officials, but no one wants to come out and be stabbed at this time. They were all waiting, waiting to see what happened to the imperial history, or waiting to see the joke of today's son in the seat.

"Nonsense." Qin Xu, who was extremely angry, calmed down, but there was a chill in his eyes, looking at the official who was not afraid of death, and said that it was not big, and it was not small. "Come on, Liu Yushi spread rumors and slandered the Queen Mother, send it to the Criminal Department, a hundred rods, and you can take care of the rest."

Everyone who understands knows that there is anything left there, and after the fall of this hundred rods, the person will definitely be gone.

"You're weak-hearted! Surrender!"

There was more contempt in Qin Xu's eyes, and he slammed his palm on the imperial table: "I am the Son of Heaven, why do I have a weak heart? This is a holy decree, and you cannot be disobeyed! Drag it on."

Not long after the imperial history surnamed Liu was dragged down, another figure popped out of the crowd, looking generous and righteous, and his face was full of righteousness: "Your Majesty, this is killing your subordinates for no reason, Your Majesty is not afraid of infamy through the ages after a hundred years!"

Qin Xu pretended to chuckle, shook his head, and said, "Don't be afraid." After a pause, Yun said lightly: "Wang Yushi, this is a deep love and righteousness, and it is important to send Liu Yushi a ride? Why don't you be a companion?"

With that, his gaze swept over the people in the hall again. This time, it was completely quiet.

"Ministry of Rites, immediately prepare for the posthumous sealing of the Queen Mother, after the posthumous sealing, the six palaces will be sealed, and you must not travel to the pool."

Changning Yuan, the former Ning princess Xu was crowned the queen, which is expected by everyone, the eldest son Qin He, who was only three years old, was named the crown prince, although the hundred officials were a little surprised, but they could accept it, after all, it was the eldest son, and it was natural to be named the prince.

Among the concubines who were entitled, there was only one person who made the officials dumbfounded, and that was Cui Wanxi. Maybe some deaf and clear-sighted officials have heard of this name for a long time, and people have also mentioned the charm of King Ning and Cui's old things, but after all, it is just a rumor, this person is not in King Ning's mansion, but now he has directly sealed the concubine, don't say that there are many doubts about the officials, even Cui Wanxi himself didn't expect it.

At first, Xu Yan was worried about what his sister would think, but when he entered the palace and asked, Queen Xu smiled and comforted him: "Although the Cui family is not in the palace, he has assisted the prince for many years...... Now it's time to call Your Majesty. It is not easy for her to guard Your Majesty for so many years, and it was Your Majesty who owed her in the past, and now it is time to make up for it. Besides, she is pregnant and can afford to be a concubine."

It's just that the saints are blessed today, and if you have a good wife like this, you will definitely have peace in your home.

Not long after the trivial matters of the harem settled, another letter was received on the desk of Zhongshu Province.

It was Prime Minister Zhang Fu who wanted to resign as Prime Minister and return to his hometown for retirement.

Everybody knows,

Zhang Fu is still in the prime of life, and if he really wants to sit in the position of prime minister, he still has a period of uphill road in his career. However, many people also know that when they reach the top, they can't help themselves, and they may plummet one day. Zhang Fu offended the new emperor, and at this time he was in a hurry to withdraw, and it was a wise move to resign from his official position easily.

Qin Xu was a little aggrieved in his heart, this person put him on his side plainly, and he couldn't be angry. But Xu Yan and Xue Ji both persuaded him, after all, this was his father's only confidant minister, and he couldn't be killed.

reluctantly exposed this temperament, and then there was a son of heaven and a courtier, and it was time for the court to undergo some changes.

"Who do you think is the prime minister?"

Qin Xu actually had an answer when he asked, he clearly understood it in his heart, and all the officials were like a mirror in their hearts.

Jiang Yan has been by Qin Xu's side from the beginning, and has accumulated a lot of prestige in Zhongshu Province for many years, which can be regarded as highly respected.

It is inevitable to make some humble concessions, which is the usual practice.

The officials below seemed to be full of admiration for Jiang Yan, praising his achievements over the years, and bluntly saying that no one else could hold the position of prime minister except him. This was said against his will, and I don't know who in the crowd gritted their teeth, but when they swept it away, they all laughed as if it were real.

Jiang Yan also had a modest smile on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to excuse himself: "The minister doesn't dare to brag about it, he just does his duty as a minister, if you talk about virtue and ability, it has to be Lord Shangshu Lingrong."

When Rong Che heard this, he suddenly sneered in his heart, this old fox is also shameless, even this is all played, such a hypocritical appearance, doesn't he feel uncomfortable?

The ministers also didn't know how to deal with it for a while, who didn't know that Rong Che was King An's person, Jiang Yan recommended Rong Che at this time, it was too fake, right?

Rong Che had countless thoughts about that position, and he also knew that Qin Xu had already identified Jiang Yan, so it was useless to brag about such a few words at this time. "Lord Jiang is joking again, if you don't dare to be, who can afford the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"

A lot of laughter hides knives and needles, people say that Jiang has to be old and spicy, the two people in front of them are spicy and piercing, the officials below just watched the two of them push back and forth, and heard it in a fog, if there are young children who have just entered the court, I am afraid that they will believe it.

waited until Qin Xu felt that this play was almost done, so he opened his mouth to stop, and his face was sufficient, and even his smile was sincere: "Jiang Yan, there is no need to refuse, this is what everyone expects."

This is the end of a war called "fighting for the phase" or "pushing the phase", and as usual, there is no other trivial matter in the morning of this morning, so they should shout and retreat, and then go back to their own yamen to do what they should do.

At this time, Xue Ji slowly stepped forward with the jade wat in his hand, condensing the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

"Kiyoyuki, is there anything else?" Qin Xu saw this situation as soon as he was about to get up, so he sat back on the dragon chair and asked with raised eyebrows.

Xue Ji's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, his face was very serious, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book."

"Play."

Xue Ji said eloquently: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Yushitai, it was to supervise the affairs of hundreds of officials and the world, so that there were people who dared to speak up and dare to speak up, and the original intention was certainly good. But today's Yushitai, several rumors and incidents, vainly talking about market rumors above the court, slandering the queen mother, and leading public opinion, what is the difference between such behavior and the woman with a long tongue? The minister thinks that today's Yushitai should not be wanted."

Loyalty, and dare to say that the Yushitai doesn't want it! You are going to shut up the eyes and ears of the saints, and you are going to disturb the court!"

Xue Ji snorted coldly, with more disdain in his eyes. Today's imperial history will only learn from mad dogs barking wildly, biting people everywhere, where is there any role of 'supervising hundreds of officials'. It is a waste to have an empty official title and a false name, not to do things that are beneficial, and to enjoy food.

Thinking of this, he took another step closer, straightened his body even more, frowned and answered coldly. "According to what you said, without the Imperial Observatory, Your Majesty is deaf and blind, and will not be able to change black and white?" After that, he turned his head to look at Qin Xu on the seat: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Historical Observatory is the Troubled Dynasty, and you want to take the rights and wrongs of the world in your own hands."

Cheng Bujing and Xue Ji are competing against each other at this time, Xue Jiming is going to the Yushi Terrace, how can Cheng Bujing endure this breath?

Only from Xue Ji's tone, he couldn't hear the ups and downs, as if it was as plain as water, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the wind and waves were already surging.

Cheng Buxin wanted to argue and curse a few words, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know what to hesitate about.

Qin Xu sat firmly on the dragon chair, frowned, looked down at Cheng Bu with an angry face, looked back at Xue Ji on the side, and asked, "Then according to what you said, what should I do?"

Xue Ji gently dusted his sleeves, and bowed his hand again, his voice was clear, echoing throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty is requested to remove the Imperial Historical Tower."
