This chapter, it took a lot of time, but I still think it's very satisfying to write, haha~

In the thirty-eighth year of Changtai, the last early dynasty in the first month, an incident occurred, although the scope of this matter was very small, only a few people were involved, but the significance and impact were extremely far-reaching.

In the eyes of Shen Huashan and Ye Zhengchun, this is a big deal, because it is a signal, a dangerous signal, a signal that Emperor Changtai wants to dictate and dictate, and this incident shows that Emperor Changtai is increasingly unable to bear the restrictions on imperial power by hundreds of officials and ministers, even a little restriction is not enough.

Here, it is necessary to say a word about the history of imperial power restrictions in Daeyoung. At the beginning of his establishment of Dayong, he set a strange iron law: in order to prevent the emperor from being incompetent, Dayong implemented the separation of powers and rule!

The so-called separation of powers and rule means that in addition to the imperial power, there are also political power and legal power, and the three supervise and check each other, which is embodied in the power setting of official positions, and many official positions have restrictions on the imperial power to refute the correct decrees and correct violations.

After Taizu, Taizong Shangguan Zheng adhered to Taizu's intention and continued to implement the separation of powers, but it caused the dissatisfaction of all the Shangguan royal family, and the influence of political power and legal power gradually weakened; Since then, successive emperors of Daeyong have strengthened the concentration of imperial power in various ways, and constantly weakened the power and status of political power and legal power.

After more than 150 years of changes, by the time of Emperor Huihe, no one remembered the names of the political power and legal power, and only one position was left to limit the imperial power. Despite this, since the Changtai years, the only official position that restricts the imperial power - to give things, there is only the power of picketing and refusal, and the imperial power is respected as never before.

This is the history of the development of the Dayong Imperial Power, of course, many deeds and truths are scattered and annihilated in time, and many of them have become black ashes. But if you look through the old records of history, you can still touch that vague vein, just to see if you dare to face it.

This is the last morning pilgrimage at the end of the month. It's about imperial power. To put it more specifically, it is related to the position in the matter, and to put it bluntly, it is related to Lu Wuhou in the matter!

At the beginning of the thirty-seventh year of Changtai, Lu Wuhou was in charge of the matter of the five products of the province of Menxia, because of the young Wang Ding, which made Emperor Changtai feel uncomfortable; In the middle of the year, he was again because of the refutation of the title of Empress Dowager Ciyi. was reprimanded several times by Emperor Changtai under the pretext of excuses.

After these two incidents, Emperor Changtai already disliked Lu Wuhou very much. Jointly. I also don't like the other three in Menxia Province - according to the Dayong official system, Menxia Province has four ministers, and Lu Wuhou is one of them.

In view of Lu Wuhou's "great achievements" from time to time, Shenke, a subordinate servant, has already kept a close eye on him, and he is afraid that he will clean up the mess.

Sometimes, those who have a tendon, because of their incomparable focus and persistence, make things reach an extreme. If it's a good aspect, it's fine, but in Shenko's opinion, Lu Wuhou is purely causing trouble! He believes that it is good for young people to have pursuits and persistence. But the premise is to see the situation clearly, and don't look back if you hit Nanshan, this is not a pursuit, but stupidity!

Because of Lu Wuhou's behavior, Shenke's heart was also frightened from time to time. Sometimes he and Wei Jingyao are complaining: they are old. I really can't stand so much fright, Lu Wuhou, this hot potato, it's better to throw it out earlier! He began to think about transferring Lu Wuhou out of Menxia Province.

Wei Jingyao also nodded in agreement: Leaving Lu Wuhou from Menxia Province is, to a certain extent, a kind of protection for him.

But before he could find Xiao Houren and Wen Qizhang to operate this matter, Lu Wuhou made trouble again. After this incident, Shenko no longer had to think about transferring him out of the province.

In the middle of the first month, Emperor Changtai issued an edict to promote Taizhou Thorn Shi Zuo Liangzhe to serve as the post of the servant of the Sanpin Sect, and the original Servant Xu Pingzhang has died in advance due to illness. Zuo Liangzhe has always been a confidant of Emperor Changtai, and he also served in Menxia Province, and was sent to Taizhou by Emperor Changtai to serve as a assassin in the early years, in order to accumulate qualifications and experience for later use.

Xu Pingzhang Zhishi, the first person who thought of Emperor Changtai to replace him was Zuo Liangzhe, thinking that Zuo Liangzhe had been in Taizhou for a few years, and it was time to transfer back to Jingzhao.

After Emperor Changtai issued the edict of appointment, he did not expect that the province would return the edict that night, and the basis for the return was that Zuo Liangzhe's qualifications were not enough to serve as the important position of the servant of the door, so he asked Emperor Changtai to choose another meritocrat.

Emperor Changtai summoned Shenke the next day to ask what was going on, only to know that Lu Wuhou was on duty in Menxia Province last night, and this matter of returning the edict was naturally done by Lu Wuhou.

Hearing that it was related to Lu Wuhou again, Emperor Changtai calmed down instead, and said with a smile: "This Lu Wuhou is really good......."

Listening to Emperor Changtai's words, Shenke's heart involuntarily jumped a few times. I have the mind to kill Lu Wuhou, why did he refute the edict again? Since the emperor wants Zuo Liangzhe to be his servant, you can just issue the edict directly, and what kind of strength is there with the emperor!

"Shen Aiqing, Zuo Liangzhe is a servant of his subordinates, what do you think?!" Emperor Changtai's words changed, and he left Lu Wuhou, and directly asked Shen Ke what he thought of this edict.

Listening to Emperor Changtai's questioning, Shen Ke secretly complained in his heart. In fact, Lu Wuhou's reason for refuting the edict is very sufficient, Taizhou is the Zhongzhou of Dayong, and Zuo Liangzhe's position as the assassin of Taizhou is only under the fourth grade, and he was suddenly promoted to the subordinate of the third grade, and he was promoted to two levels in a row, which is really difficult to say.

If Zuo Liangzhe has the great merit of quelling the rebellion, this promotion is normal, but Taizhou has always been calm. Shen Ke was embarrassed, but on this issue, he also said good things for Lu Wuhou and said his embarrassment, but the tone was much more tactful.

"Under the governance of Zuo Liangzhe, the government and civilians of Taizhou are safe, with bumper harvests year after year, bandits are extinct, and the people are not left behind, isn't this a great achievement? Besides, Zuo Liangzhe also served in Menxia Province before, and he was also familiar with the affairs of Menxia Province, so he was promoted to two levels, which I thought was reasonable. After listening to Shenke's embarrassment, Emperor Changtai was not angry, but instead said his own reasons, and he thought that the reasons for promoting Zuo Liangzhe were also sufficient.

As soon as Emperor Changtai said this, Shenke was silenced. Taizhou is a rich place in Dayong, and more importantly, Taizhou is where Hanoi Wei is stationed, which thief will go to Taizhou to do crimes without a long eye? Can this also be regarded as Zuo Liangzhe's political achievements? Shen Ke knew that Emperor Changtai said this, and he must help Zuo Liangzhe to take the position.

"Well, I must send this edict down, I don't want to see this edict returned again." Emperor Changtai's meaning is very clear. Lu Wuhou is there, Shenke will get it done!

How? Shenke thought of one of Lu Wuhou's tendons, and felt that his head was full of black lines.

After coming out of Zichen Palace, Shen Ke did not look for Lu Wuhou, he had already thought of a solution to this matter, he directly bypassed Lu Wuhou and handed over the edict to Lu Zusheng and Bao Qiming in the matter. Lu Wuhou was not allowed to interfere in this matter at all.

Shen Ke has already figured it out and treated a person like Lu Wuhou. The best way is to order him not to do this, not to do that, or he will never be enlightened.

After explaining the edict, Shen Ke also beat Lu Wuhou, and his attitude was also very tough: "Don't pay attention to Zuo Liangzhe's matter!" Stay in the province well, I don't want to clean up the mess for you anymore! ”

Listening to Shen Ke's words, Lu Wuhou's face changed, he really didn't understand why Shen Ke looked at himself like this! The reason for returning the edict is very sufficient, and Zuo Liangzhe is not qualified to serve as a subordinate at all.

He is responsible for refuting and violating the rules and picketing, and he is just doing his duty. How can it be a mess? Once like this, twice like this, three times like this! Is it all wrong to be loyal to this duty in the matter?!

After Shenke left, Lu Wuhou's face calmed down. His eyes were clear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But Shen Ke didn't pay attention to what he was thinking at all, he still had to go to Shangshu Province to find Xiao Houren Wen Qizhang, and he must transfer Lu Wuhou away as soon as possible. Lu Wuhou is a good official, but such a character is really not suitable for staying under the door! If he continues to make trouble like this, maybe he won't even be able to save his life. Even if you don't have your life, what are you talking about in your persistent pursuit?

Shenke once again sighed that young people now don't know what they are thinking, but they can't bear to let Lu Wuhou fold.

Shen Ke stepped up the pace of transferring Lu Wuhou away, but he didn't know that Lu Wuhou's heart was gradually fermenting a fighting spirit. He remembered his experience of being an official from the county magistrate of Tin County to the subordinate to the ministry, and secretly made up his mind that he must be worthy of this position in the matter!

Lu Zusheng and Bao Qiming have already sent down the edict of promoting Zuo Liangzhe, without Lu Wuhou's intervention, things are going well, and when Shen Ke and others are secretly breathing a sigh of relief, things are beyond their expectations!

Unexpectedly, Lu Wuhou impeached Zuo Liangzhe above the early dynasty, and the impeachment of Zuo Liangzhe's promotion was groundless, and there was "clever and self-consolidated, in order to get a high position, as soon as this case is opened, the country will be in danger." "Wait, this ...... This is the face of Ming Huang beating the emperor!

"Clever and self-consolidated, in order to get a high position", the implication is that Zuo Liangzhe was promoted through flattery, in essence, Emperor Changtai loves to listen to flattery, and prefers to favor people who are fortunate and immoral, if this is done, Dayong will be in danger.

This is an extremely severe accusation, this is a courtier's dissatisfaction and persuasion to the emperor, in the final analysis, this is also Lu Wuhou's duty to do his job.

However, this time Emperor Changtai does not have such a good tolerance, there are things such as the young king, there is the matter of the queen mother's name, there is the matter of Zuo Liangzhe, this Lu Wuhou, everything has touched the reverse scale of Emperor Changtai, and Emperor Changtai is furious!

In Emperor Changtai's view, Lu Wuhou repeatedly refuted the edict, which was his challenge to the imperial power by virtue of the power given in the matter, and the imperial power was limited by virtue of the power in the matter!

Emperor Changtai once again felt the discomfort of being tied to his hands and feet, and once again felt the unfreedom that he could not do as he wanted as an emperor.

The supremacy of imperial power, the emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, why should he be restricted by his subordinates? Emperor Changtai has long been dissatisfied with Taizu's unreasonable iron law. Now, Lu Wuhou is hitting the knife edge, then, let's take him under the knife - Emperor Changtai ordered that Lu Wuhou be given thirty rods!

Thirty ...... of the Imperial Staff Thirty ...... of the Imperial Staff Above the main hall of the early dynasty, the angry voice of Emperor Changtai echoed.

Two more!
