Chapter 721: Imperial Power

In fact, there was a commotion outside, how could there be no rumors in the palace at all, although Yang Jian and Yang Gonggong had strictly forbidden the eunuchs and palace maids not to chew their tongues in private, but Zhao Ji knew the news early in the morning of the second day of the conflict between Shen Ao and the prince.

Zhao Ji was watching the nurse feed Shen Jun'er comfortably, and she didn't know whether her eyes fell on Shen Jun'er's mouth or the red point. He just laughed, and then, he suddenly called Yang Jian to the side, and asked seriously: "Last night, the prince and King Pingxi made a joke in the streets and alleys?" ”

Yang Jian didn't dare to say no, and said stubbornly: "Yes, but whether this news is true or false has not yet been determined, maybe it is just a rumor." ”

Zhao Ji pouted: "Where in this world is there anything groundless, there is no need to cover it up." He raised his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "As the prince of the East Palace, it is really unreasonable to make such a fuss. As for King Pingxi, hmph, no matter what, the crown prince is also the future son of heaven, he has so much, isn't he afraid that he will lose his head after Ibintian? It's really a bastard, it's getting more and more confused, besides, which is more important between the prince and the East Palace, he doesn't know in his heart? It's a matter of getting sick in a day, and I should have found something to send him out if I knew it. ”

This complaint came out, Yang Jian was relieved, if His Majesty kept a calm face and didn't speak, it was the real matter, since he scolded at this time, the anger in his heart was vented, it seems that His Majesty doesn't care about this matter.

In fact, this kind of thing should also be taken seriously, at least it is said to be willful, and it is difficult to say it seriously, no matter what, Zhao Ji's heart has not yet thought about the worst.

Yang Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why don't you make a statement for the following will, teach a good lesson, and see if King Pingxi will dare to make trouble again next time." Yang Jian's mind is very simple, after the decree is declared, even if it has been punished by the imperial court, if someone uses this matter to stir up right and wrong in the future, it is not easy to speak, if you are afraid of anything, you are afraid of hanging, hanging in the air, and I don't know when it will fall, it is better to scold, although I have lost some face, at least it will not hurt my muscles and bones.

Zhao Ji shook his head and said lightly: "No need, I just don't know about it, the provincial people are upset, and they will deal with the things outside, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

Yang Jian smiled, and stopped persuading.

But such a big thing, it is impossible to ignore it, Zhao Ji stole two days of leisure, and the thing finally happened, which made Zhao Ji shudder, he asked Yang Jian several times in a row, and then fell silent.

The country will not be a country, the chaos is coming, and the East Palace will be deposed only today!

This sentence was like a needle, piercing Zhao Ji's heart fiercely. He couldn't help but be a little angry, he was too presumptuous, he dared to kill an official, dared to say such a thing, who instigated this kind of thing?

Zhao Ji looked at Yang Jian lightly, a very rare vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Why haven't the three provinces and six ministries sent the news in?" ”

Yang Jian is only the head of the inner court, and the inner court of the Great Song Dynasty is not yet to the point where the eunuch is in charge of the country in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and he said confusedly: "The slave doesn't know, why don't you ask the door?" ”

Zhao Ji said indifferently: "No need, they will naturally report it." ”

Yang Jian is too familiar with Zhao Ji's indifference, but if it is government affairs, Zhao Ji may not be able to pay attention, but if it involves the bottom line in Zhao Ji's heart, any emperor will be cautious. Scholars are the cornerstone of the Great Song Dynasty, and the national policy pursued by the Great Song Dynasty has always been to rule the world with scholars.

Now that the reader is so excited that he kills people, a battle of will has evolved to the point where the country will not be a country and chaos is coming, is there any instigator behind this, or is the reader disgusted with this matter, Zhao Ji has to think about it.

However, the more Zhao Ji was vigilant, the more he did not reveal the slightest hint of tone, during the court discussion, the hundred officials did not speak, he did not ask, and even when Li Bangyan entered the palace, he never mentioned it. This attitude of indifference makes people mistakenly believe that His Majesty does not know about this matter, or that he does not want to inquire about it when he knows about it. But Yang Jian knew that it was precisely because His Majesty cared too much that he had been looking at the three provinces with a pair of vigilant eyes, looking at the six departments, he was waiting, waiting for the attitudes of all parties.

Early in the morning of this day, Zhao Ji still got up, teased Shen Jun'er, and said to Yang Jian: "This child has lost weight, is the milk unappetizing?" ”

Where did Yang Jian understand this, and said with a sneer: "The slave feels that he doesn't feel it, and he is more ruddy." ”

Zhao Ji stopped talking, let the nurse take Shen Jun'er away, sat alone in front of the case, and began to browse the music, he was surprisingly diligent in the past two days, and he could sit in front of the case and deal with government affairs without Yang Jian's notice. Yang Jian carefully added an oil lamp to him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will burn your eyes if you look at it from a distance." ”

Zhao Ji's face became more and more gloomy as he looked at the past, there was no news from each one, no news at all, as if this had never happened, these ministers, these pillars of the court, are they all blind and deaf? Or do you think I'm blind and deaf?

He snorted coldly, suddenly pushed the full table of music, put it aside, leaned on the chair, half-closed his eyes, one hand on the handle of the chair, and the whole person lost his soul.

Yang Jian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did someone in the song mention the matter of the East Palace and the King of Pingxi?" ”

Zhao Ji sneered: "It's okay if it is mentioned, but none of my ministers have revealed a word yet. ”

A hint of surprise appeared on Yang Jian's face. Thinking about this matter seriously, it is bullying the king, and it is a collective bullying of the three provinces and six departments. But if you think about it, it's really unpredictable, it's just that the people on Shen Ao's side don't mention it, why doesn't the prince even mention it?

Yang Jian also began to be vigilant, what is the prince doing? Who is Your Majesty suspicious of now, is it that the King of Pingxi is so powerful that no one dares to impeach? Or is the prince just temporarily silent and already has a plan?

It was at this time that someone outside said, "Your Majesty, Li Men is here to see you." ”

Zhao Ji was not in a hurry to summon him, first asked Yang Jian to change the tea, blew the tea foam and took a sip before cheering up, and asked Yang Jian to clean up the music a little, and said, "Xuan him in." ”

After a while, Li Bangyan entered Wenjing Pavilion and solemnly saluted Zhao Ji before saying, "The old minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji said coldly: "Sit." ”

Li Bangyan leaned over and sat down, and Zhao Ji asked, "Li Aiqing entered the palace at this time, but is there something wrong?" ”

Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "I just have something to play." He said, "Your Majesty has heard that there was a little trouble in the Consultative Bureau, and some scholars were so angry that they accidentally beat the counselor Lang Zhong Lan Wen to death. ”

Zhao Ji pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing? Then he looked angry, and said in a vicious voice: "Who is so bold, the court officials were beaten to death, what is the difference between this and rebellion, why not adjust the ban army and suppress it, when is it?" ”

Li Bangyan looked at Zhao Ji's face, and he didn't know whether His Majesty really didn't know or not, but His Majesty's attitude made him have to deal with it carefully, and when Zhao Ji finished venting, he said: "Your Majesty, the cause and effect of this matter is really a bit unbelievable, so Weichen feels tricky, and I want to ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision." ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help but drink tea with a calm face, and then said, "Is there a hidden situation here?" ”

Li Bangyan said: "Exactly, I have always been a good scholar, and scholars and the imperial court have always worked together, if it weren't for the reason, how could the scholar be so bold?" His Majesty's establishment of the Advisory Council focuses on the word "consultation", which can enable readers to speak freely and appreciate His Majesty's kindness in opening up his views. However, what Lao Chen knew was that the words of the scholars in this advisory bureau were indeed a bit absurd, but absurdity was absurd, and it was always a good intention, and the matter was with Lan Wen. Li Bangyan took a breath and continued: "Your Majesty is very open-minded, but Lan Wen is very domineering, in the name of His Majesty, he actually wants to block the mouths of scholars, and later he actually instigated the messengers to rush into the council hall and beat people. ”

"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I have been generous to the scholars to the extreme, Emperor Taizu once said that he is willing to rule the world with scholars, which shows the saintliness of Taizu, and because of this, I have been in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, there has been no rebellion in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world has been peaceful for a long time. Now that a counselor actually dares to beat a scholar, where does Lan Wen want to put His Majesty? ”

Zhao Ji said lightly: "It is precisely because of this that Lan Wen was beaten to death by the reader?" ”

Li Bangyan said: "That's exactly the case, that's why the old minister feels tricky, Lan Wenmu has no ancestral law and discipline, there is a mistake first, this is not wrong." However, the scholars killed the court officials by mistake, but they could not be tolerated, and the old ministers did not dare to be arbitrary, so His Majesty judged it. ”

Although he didn't dare to be specialized, this matter came out of Li Bangyan's mouth, but he was completely on the side of the scholars. Zhao Ji nodded his head and said, "Who is this Lan Wen?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Li Bangyan had already prepared, took out a merit examination book from his sleeve, handed it to the imperial case, and said, "This is just transferred from the ministry, Your Majesty can take a look." ”

Zhao Ji turned out the merit examination book, his face was dark and uncertain, and finally threw the merit examination book on the imperial case, and said leisurely: "Why can such a person be promoted to the counselor Langzhong?" ”
