Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Require a Hundred Battles Chapter 1167 Yan Chu (1)
"Some time ago, Lu Boyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Xiaogong of the Imperial History, and others wrote a letter to discuss the matter of moving the mausoleum of the ancestors, which was reprimanded by His Majesty, Lu Boyuan was fined for one year, Liu Xiaogong was demoted to Heluo, and the others were demoted and retained, I don't know what the general thinks about this matter?"
Zhao Shi blinked, his eyes flickering.
Li Pu seemed to see through Zhao Shi's thoughts, and then said: "The matter of moving the tomb back then, there were many turmoil, I think the general should remember, and now in the eventful autumn, if you do this, you will definitely shake the country's foundation, the old man has dissuaded His Majesty several times, Lu Boyuan, Liu Xiaogong and others may be wrong, but they also have the heart of the country and the people, but His Majesty's mind is unpredictable...... The general is trustworthy for His Majesty, and the old man is too late, and he hopes that the general will be frank...... For the sake of the family and the country, I can persuade some ...... more"
In fact, Zhao Shi knows more about the cause and effect of this matter.
After Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, from the third year of Chengwu, the matter of moving the tomb has been mentioned again and again, until now, it has become more and more intense.
And this matter, speaking of the originator, but still avoid living on the shore of Cheng'en Lake, it seems that the eldest princess does not ask about the government, this idea is very understatement when it comes from the mouth of the eldest princess, but in the court, it has set off a big storm, it is said that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fang Qian, has been criticized for this matter.
But compared to before, the pressure on him was actually much lessened, and in this way, he also received the trust of the emperor's majesty, and the affairs in the court were so unpredictable.
According to the speculation of Nan Eighteen and Chen Changshou, the emperor's intention is very firm. This Zhao Shi also knows. The heart knot of Emperor Chengwu's majesty. No one knows better than him.
But according to the two people's observation and speculation, although the court is getting more and more fierce, it can be called a constant turmoil, but the emperor may not want to go his own way, but he has to deal with this matter immediately.
Today's majesty, the forbearance of the heart can be seen in the Chang'an Rebellion.
So. This matter has been mentioned many times, and there are many opponents, but at this time, no one has heard anything from His Majesty's mouth, and it is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor is just paving the way for the future.
One thing, mentioned too much, opponents have been repeatedly frustrated, and as time goes by, where will there be the current sharpness. And once the time comes, His Majesty will speak in person. The obstruction will not be too great.
This is a method used by politicians, and Lu Boyuan, Liu Xiaogong and others mentioned this matter in their books, but in fact, they were regarded as the first bird, which happened to make the emperor do something.
Of course, what kind of involvement is in it, if you are not in it, no one can say clearly.
Li Pu is complementary, and the joints in this should be very clear, but at this time, he still said such a thing, Zhao Shi estimated that this Lord Li Xiang was not very sure of the emperor's intentions, and he was also afraid that the emperor's majesty would be in a hurry, or he would be forced to be in a hurry, and the matter would be decided in the middle book.
There is almost no need to ask about the result, it will definitely be rejected in the Zhongshu, in that case, for His Majesty the Emperor and the important ministers of the Zhongshu, the face will not be too good-looking, and it is likely to be reduced to a pure battle of will.
At such a time, Zhongshu will definitely not be proud of the return of His Majesty's holy oracle, let alone get any real benefits in this matter.
And Zhao Shi here, according to the meaning of Nan Eighteen and Chen Changshou, it is right to keep his mouth shut and wait for his changes, and the emperor has already made up his mind and persuaded him, but the effect is very small, and it will make His Majesty unhappy.
Then, Li Pu's meaning is very clear, not to persuade Zhao Shi to change his mind, of course, that is the best, but let this general risk his life? How do you look, this great general is not that kind of person......
Therefore, what he wanted Zhao Shi to do was to be beside His Majesty, and persuade him from time to time not to make it too tense.
In fact, in the eyes of Li Pu and some people, compared to the rapidly expanding territory of Great Qin, the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum does seem too cramped, and it can no longer match the prestige of Great Qin.
In the final analysis, in fact, he is still afraid that the emperor is young and too anxious, and the more opposition voices from the courtiers, the more likely it is to make His Majesty angry.
Annoyed His Majesty the Emperor and disgusted Lord Xiangfu, the eunuch path of these people has actually been dimmed, and there is not much hope for recovery.
Of course, if there is another reason for this, but it should be a different matter, or how to say that the court turmoil is sinister, only in this one matter, in fact, it can be seen, right and wrong here seem to be extremely vague, and it is not important, it is actually people's eyes that are considered.
After thinking about it, his reaction is not fast, but it is not slow, after all, with the support of information, he knows more than others, and he can think about the cause and effect faster.
This time, he accurately grasped the key point in Li Pu's words, which was really a big improvement for him.
Then he nodded and said, "Originally, this should be a headache for Lord Shangshufang of the Ministry of Rites, but since Li Xiang said so...... Zhao Shi naturally took the lead. ”
"It's just that Li Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, His Majesty is wise and martial, where will he act rashly, although the trouble is terrible at this time, but in the end it is all rumors, as long as the holy decree does not reach the book, then there is no need to pay too much attention to it, we are courtiers, if we talk too much, so it will provoke Your Majesty Xià is not happy, but not beautiful."
This latter sentence is the finishing touch, Li Pu patted the table lightly, and raised his glass, "The general's words are very reasonable, come, the old man will give you a drink." ”
After drinking, Zhao Shi just breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Pu didn't seem to let him go.
The next topic is even more uncomfortable than the one just now.
"This matter is related to the country, and the old man is really pleased that the general can do this, but ...... There is one more thing, the old man has to discuss it with the general. ”
Zhao Shi's head was a little faintly swollen and painful, it was not that he had drunk too much, it was obviously a sign of overuse of his brain, and the changes in his status made him have the right to speak in some things that others could not reach, but speaking in these things, the mental effort consumed was unimaginable to ordinary people.
To be honest, Zhao Shi is not good at moving so many thoughts, and he has always been able to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, but today, I am afraid that it is not so easy.
Li Pu paused, but his eyes looked at Li Ji next to him, and he gestured with his gaze.
Although Li Ji is reluctant, every word he says here can almost affect the future situation, even if he is wronged, he is definitely unwilling to leave prematurely.
But Li Pu obviously wanted to talk to this general alone, and the things he said must not be a topic that anyone else could hear, even if he was a cousin and a scholar of the household department, he couldn't hear about it.
What kind of confidential matter, Li Ji guessed in his heart, it was simply itchy and hard to scratch, but he still stood up slowly and gave a salute, "The general sits down for a while, the old man is no longer strong enough to drink, but he can't accompany him." ”
Zhao Shi returned the salute and watched Li Ji shuffle his steps and slowly leave the hall.
At this time, Li Pucai said solemnly: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for four years, and you have tasted it, the storage position, the foundation of the country, the original is still not right, the government and the opposition, and those who have nothing to worry about, are now in the prime of your majesty, but the subordinates, An can not worry about the long-term, only the present dynasty?" ”
"Now in the court, there is the voice of the prince to do, the old man thinks so, but I don't know what His Majesty's intentions are, today invite the general to come to the house, what to discuss, should be taken as this, I don't know what the general thinks?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shi immediately moved, his eyebrows raised, and he wanted to say something according to his usual habits, this matter has nothing to do with me, right?
But he soon understood that this matter not only had something to do with him, but also had nothing to do with it.
Besides, with his current status, it is a matter of course to speak in the matter of establishing a prince, even if he himself is unwilling to speak, it will not be successful.
Back then, Emperor Jing was on the day and night defense, not letting people speak, but now if he wants to be silent, he can't get it.
In fact, it is very taboo for civil and military ministers to talk about the matter of establishing a prince in private, but there are exceptions, just like now, Li Pu can not ask the privy envoy Wang Daocun what he meant, nor will he discuss it privately with the ministers of Zhongshu, most of them are close to one or two, and they just talk about this matter briefly.
And if you really want to write a book about the matter of establishing a prince, it will definitely not be these important ministers of the court, but more will be some officials who put it forward first, and then everyone will take a look at His Majesty's reaction, and then follow up on the book, or slow down, etc., which is a common practice in the court.
But Zhao Shi's identity is different, in the court has always been only hung a military squire of the false title, but very able to influence the matter of the prince, here in Li Pu, when the matter of the prince is mentioned, Zhao Shi's views have to be taken into account, especially after the Chang'an Rebellion, no one wants to see that kind of chaos repeated.
Because once the position of the East Palace is decided, it is difficult to change it.
Even in the last years of Emperor Jing's dynasty, Emperor Jing probably already had the heart to abolish the prince, but he was hesitant, just because there were too many reasons to change the prince, just like the abolition of the prince in the Zhengde Dynasty, although Emperor Jing won in the end, he still left a lot of tails, and under the improper position, before and after the battle of Pingshu, he was almost ousted from the throne.
Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, don't look at a military rebellion, there are also rumors that the throne is not right, but he is a serious prince of the East Palace, even if he has a bad reputation when he takes the throne, but in the end, the court quickly calmed down, of course, there is a military deterrence, but no one feels that the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne, which is a matter of course, but the means are a little fierce.
It can be seen that this righteous name is really important.
