Chen Longji nodded when he heard this: "What Mr. said is that this palace will go to meet my father now." ”

After Chen Longji finished speaking, he instructed Gao Lishi to change his clothes and go to meet Ruizong.

At this time, the front of the official department and the yamen had stabilized.

The bloodstains on the ground have not been cleaned up, and there are many people watching the excitement, and the soldiers of Wanqi have already evacuated, leaving only some people to stay at the entrance of the official department to prevent any more riots.

Those injured oblique officials were also taken away for treatment first, leaving a few who were not injured much, waiting for the officials to give an explanation.

Chen Jingheng looked at the entrance of the official department, and this farce was over, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I really didn't expect this Ge Fushun to have such a big temper." ”

Hearing this, Su Yunjun was not surprised: "Ge Fushun was the one who was supported by me when you were not in the capital, when Liu Renjing, the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, was replaced by Empress Wei to a disciple of the Wei family." Simple-minded, reckless personality, not suitable for common use, but occasionally used, it is still very handy. ”

"Originally, Wan Qi was a little arrogant after his meritorious service, but Wen Song was still suppressed at the beginning, and after Wen Song left, Wan Qi became more and more out of control when he handed it over to Ge Fushun. Many people in Beijing have already looked at Wanqi's arrogance, which is very unpleasant, and now I am afraid that everyone will watch how his father will deal with this Ge Fushun. Chen Jingheng said and sat down, playing with Su Yunjun's green silk.

Su Yunjun smiled lightly and said: "Since the coup d'état, Ge Fushun has completely defected to the prince, and now that there is such a big incident, I am afraid that this time neither Ge Fushun nor the prince will think about it easily." ”

Chen Jingheng saw Su Yunjun with a shallow smile on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Yunjun, where do you guess the prince should go now?" ”

Hearing this, Su Yunjun turned his head, looked at Chen Jingheng, and smiled extremely gently: "You know it, but you still want to ask me what I do?" ”

"This time the incident is very troublesome, and now whether these oblique officials are right or wrong, whether they have made achievements during their posts, they have been beaten by Wanqi, but they have given them a good beat. I am afraid that the public opinion of the people in the capital will be biased towards these injured people, and the people will sympathize with them. My father originally wanted to rectify all these oblique officials in one fell swoop, but now that this situation has been made, I don't know how much gray hair my father has to be angry. Yun Jun, you said that if your father knew that you were behind the current situation, I really don't know what his old man would think. Chen Jingheng looked at Su Yunjun and sighed a little.

Hearing this, Su Yunjun glanced at him, and said softly: "What else can you think about after all, it is your daughter-in-law, the wife is the husband, and what the concubine does, it is not all ordered by the prince, and the emperor must be clear in his heart." In this way, what the concubine does is also what the prince does, and what his son does, what else can the emperor say. ”

One sentence made Chen Jingheng speechless in an instant, unable to cry or laugh.

Seeing this, Su Yunjun raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that the prince is afraid that he has forgotten, but now we are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, and the accounts are naturally calculated together." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingheng suddenly burst out laughing, and took Su Yunjun's hand, his eyes were full of warmth: "Yes, this king is also a married man now, and he has forgotten this stubble." ”

The couple here were talking, and on the other side of the Daming Palace, Ruizong listened to the report from below to the door of the Ministry of Officials, and Wei Anshi stood on the side.

After the person who waited for the report to finish the matter and retreated, Ruizong sighed, looked at Wei Anshi and said, "Wei Gong, now that the matter is so big, how should I investigate it?" I'm afraid that there is no way to pursue this matter, so what should I do now? ”

Just now, Guo Yuanzhen entered the palace to tell Cui Riyong to transfer troops, and Ruizong nodded, but now he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Hearing this, Wei Anshi thought a little in his heart, and replied with a serious face: "Your Majesty, now that oblique officials are so rampant, if you don't persist this time, then all your previous efforts will be in vain." If you want to rectify the rule of officials, the oblique officials are the first to bear the brunt, we must rectify these people first, these people are the moths of the court for the imperial court, and now I think it is harmless, and sooner or later it will drag down the entire Chen Tang Dynasty. ”

Ruizong didn't know: "It's just that this time the matter is so big, now everyone else is waiting for an explanation, and the people in the capital are also waiting to see what the imperial court does. ”

"Your Majesty, now we have no way out, there is only one way, and that is to persevere to the end. They are making trouble now just to keep their official positions, but these people spend money to buy officials, but they don't have the ability to manage the government at all, and they are huge, and thousands of people eat official food but do not do practical things, which is the biggest obstacle to the rectification of the rule of officials, Your Majesty. Wei Anshi saw that Zhongzong had already retreated, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

"I was just thinking, the number of oblique officials is huge, and the internal relationship in the imperial court is also complicated, and this time I was beaten again, and I have won a lot of sympathy, if I insist on it, I am afraid that it will not be good." The matter at the door of the Ministry of Officials' Mansion, Ruizong already had a retreat in his heart, and he didn't want to continue to toss about this matter.

Wei Anshi looked at Ruizong's expression, knowing that if Ruizong gave up this time, he was afraid that he would not mention this matter again for a long time, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, you must not give up rectification because of this." Now the people are looking forward to it, waiting for the emperor to eradicate these malpractices for them, if the emperor gives up halfway, I am afraid that the people of the world will be cold. Please think twice. ”

What Wei Anshi said is reasonable, and Ruizong is not a foolish person, so he naturally understands. just thought of the current situation, and finally had to sigh: "Otherwise, invite Princess Taiping and the prince into the palace to discuss this matter together." ”

Hearing that Ruizong was going to recruit Princess Taiping into the palace, Wei Anshi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, after all, Princess Taiping is a woman, and it is against the rules of etiquette to meddle in court politics for a long time, and the minister thinks that this matter should not be discussed with Princess Taiping." If Princess Taiping is allowed to continue to participate in politics, I am afraid that it will also make the people of the world laugh, and the emperor still remembers the precedent of Empress Wei. ”

Hearing this, Ruizong couldn't help but glance at Wei Anshi and didn't speak.

Wei Anshi knew that Ruizong had always relied on this sister very much, so he felt that it was even more inappropriate, and then said: "Your Majesty, during the Taizong period, it was ordered that relatives and daughters should not be allowed to disturb the government. Besides, now that the crown prince has been established, he is really a wise and resourceful person, and the emperor should be close to the prince to reuse it. Instead of consulting with a female family like Princess Taiping in everything, it should be discussed with the crown prince. ”

Wei Anshi's words were undoubtedly a hammer that struck directly into Ruizong's heart.

couldn't help but remind him of what Princess Taiping said before, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart: Sure enough, what Taiping said was right, Wei Anshi really united with the prince.

Wei Anshi was originally an old minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was considered a person from Ruizong, but now he is helping the prince speak everywhere.

Even if he is not wrong from his point of view, the crown prince is orthodox in the East Palace, and he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, no matter sooner or later, he will be the lord of this Chen Tang, and he should assist.

But in Ruizong's eyes, he didn't think so, the crown prince was the one who followed him every day, looking forward to his death so that he could inherit his throne. This relationship already disgusted him, and now that his old minister is still helping the prince, Ruizong can't help but be even more angry in his heart.

Although he didn't say anything on his face, he didn't look at Wei Anshi's face very well.

At this moment, Princess Taiping and Chen Longji entered the palace together to ask for a meeting.

Ruizong and Wei Anshi stopped the conversation and invited Princess Taiping and the crown prince to meet.

As soon as Princess Taiping entered the door and saw that Wei Anshi was also there, Ruizong's face was not very good, and he knew it in his heart, so he immediately asked with a smile: "What are the fourth brother and Wei Gong discussing?" ”

Hearing this, he heard Ruizong say in a heavy tone: "We are discussing the matter in front of the official department, you have just arrived, I am just about to send someone to invite you over, and we will discuss how to deal with this matter." ”

Hearing this, Princess Taiping sat down with a smile, and then spoke: "The courtiers have also heard about this matter, these people gathered in front of the yamen of the ministry to make trouble, which really hurt my Chen Tang's face. Some of these people were originally done by the minister's sister, and at that time, the minister's sister just wanted to get a few more money, anyway, if the minister's sister didn't do it, someone would naturally do it. No matter what the reason is, in short, now that this matter has come out, the minister sister must not sit idly by. The royal brother just dismissed these people, how much money the courtiers collected at the beginning, and now they will return how much, and these people can't be blackmailed. ”

Princess Taiping looked at Ruizong's face as she spoke, and saw that he really heard her words, her face softened slightly, and she continued: "Fourth brother, although I also handled it at the beginning, it is necessary to avoid suspicion under the melon field and Li Xia, but this time the courtier feels that it is the most correct thing for the court to remove these people." Look at it now, these people have no talent and no virtue, so they spent money to become officials, and they don't have any real talent and real learning, and they dare to make a big fuss about the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, which is really bold. If it is really because of these foolish things that the courtiers did at the beginning, they will not care, even if they will disappoint the people of the world. So the younger sister had to come out and say something, and asked the fourth brother to remove these people as soon as possible, so as not to cause another incident. ”

Ruizong was even more happy when he heard this: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is a person who takes the overall situation into account." ”

Wei Anshi and Chen Longji listened on the side, and only felt that what Princess Taiping said was too beautiful.

Princess Taiping got a good deal, and couldn't help but look at Chen Longji with a smile: "The prince is newly canonized, he must have his own views on this matter, and maybe there is a good way to solve this matter, the prince might as well talk about it." ”

In one sentence, the spearhead was all turned to Chen Longji.

Ruizong and Wei Anshi couldn't help but look at Chen Longji as well.

Wei Anshi is an impartial minister, and compared to Princess Taiping, he naturally likes the prince more, after all, the prince is the ruler of the country.

The matter of rectifying the rule of officials and dismissing the oblique feudal officials was also discussed with Chen Longji.

Now Wei Anshi is waiting for Chen Longji to insist and persuade Ruizong together.

Chen Longji saw that everyone was looking at him, thinking of Ge Fushun and Han Ningli, he rolled his eyes, and then said respectfully: "Father, the son thinks that this oblique official cannot be ignored, but it should not be rushed. The oblique seal official is indeed like a maggot on the tarsal bone in the imperial court, and it must be removed, but this time Wei Gong and they inevitably drugged too violently, which led to such an incident. ”

Chen Longji is now anxious to clear up the relationship for himself, if he insists on dismissing the oblique official after making such a thing, Princess Taiping will definitely take the opportunity to use Ge Fushun to make a fuss, saying that it was the prince who instructed Ge Fushun to dare to be so bold and beat the officials in public to injury. Only by making him soft on Princess Taiping now can he get rid of this suspicion.

But this sentence made Wei Anshi's heart completely chill.

Princess Taiping didn't expect Chen Longji to change her mind at this time, it stands to reason that the one who wants to weaken her strength the most is Chen Longji.

couldn't help sneering and said: "The prince is right, this oblique official can't be ignored, but if it is too hasty, it will have the opposite effect, just like that Cui Daily, the deployment of troops and ammunition will disperse people, why let the army beat people to serious injuries, and make such a fuss." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the prince.

Everyone knows who Cui Riyong is, Princess Taiping did not directly say Ge Fushun, but put the blame on Cui Riyong, which gave Chen Longji face.

Chen Longji naturally didn't appreciate it, and immediately nodded in response: "Indeed, Cui Riyong is really reckless this time." ”

Ruizong saw that the crown prince and Princess Taiping agreed on the same opinion, and he had no intention of paying attention to the oblique sealing of the official anymore, so he said to Xi Ni: "Now this oblique official cannot be ignored, but the current situation can really only be let go, this Cui Riyong is really disappointed by me this time." ”

This sentence can be regarded as a foregone conclusion on this matter.

The matter in the palace was settled, and Chen Jingheng naturally got the news.

Chen Jingheng and Su Yunjun were basking in the sun and blowing the wind in the courtyard, and after listening to Zichong's words, they couldn't help laughing: "Yunjun, sure enough, what you expected is true." ”

Hearing this, Su Yunjun poured a cup of tea for Chen Jingheng, then handed it to Chen Jingheng, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the prince should prepare to meet Wei Gong and Cui Riyong, this time these two are afraid that they will suffer great grievances." ”

"That's natural, but Ge Fushun's position as the commander of ten thousand horsemen is afraid that it will be unstable, and these people of Princess Taiping will also be like frightened birds, so no one can think about peace of mind now." Chen Jingheng drank the tea with a smile.

On the second day, Ruizong's case was like a snowflake, all of which were impeached for Wei Anshi and Yao Chong's haste this time, which caused a big disaster, and the impeachment of Cui Riyong was inappropriate, and it was not important to Ge Fushun.
