Chapter 6 Party Strife!
In the spring of the eleventh year of Jingtai, the first lunar month, the crown prince Xiahou Chun plus the yuan, and the crown.
Yi Chou, the prince of the temple.
Bingyin, the rising sun, the crown prince Xiahou Chunzuo Jingdi, will be hundreds of officials in the Taiji Palace, all give silk.
At the end of the day, Chen Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suggested: The prince, the prince of the country, is now crowned, and he should be a senator and assist the country.
Xu Sheng, who is also a scholar of Qilin Pavilion, seconded the proposal, and Prime Minister Xiao Yuanzheng rejected it on the grounds that 'the prince's private morality is at a loss, and he recruits rumors, how can he be reinstated in October'.
Zhang Xiang acquiesced, so the court agreed.
When the new official of the Criminal Department, Lang Zhongliu Yu, played, he swore solemnly: "Most of the officials and prisoners in Chajing Prison are framed by Xiao Xiang's party, please inspect Xiao Dang to avoid giving private power." ”
The ministers were boiling and looked sideways.
This newcomer Liu Yushi headed the heavenly court, and he became an instant hit.
It's just that the eyes of those people looking at him are blood-red.
And the theory of 'party strife' has been around since today.
Above the hall, the whispers were endless, and Liu Yu turned a deaf ear and said eloquently:
"Historically, national disasters have always been caused by the party forming groups and gathering people to seek differences. Jinchen learned that Xiao Thief was proud of the private grant of the national authority, and with the help of his teachers and friends, he secretly communicated in the palace and was in the knot among the generals.
The ministers were afraid that they wanted to plot great things in the foreign dynasty and usurp His Majesty, so they implored the saint to issue a decree, denounce the Xiao Party, and accept the Yuanzheng, so as to eliminate the disaster, restore the glory of the Yasukuni Kingdom, and return the artifact to the saint. ”
As soon as this remark came out, even Xiahou Chun, who was watching politics and participating in politics, couldn't help but glance at him, and couldn't help but admire a little, even you dare to say this, Lao Tzu really didn't misunderstand you!
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, and said to his eldest brother Xiao Yuanzheng: "What does Xiao Xiangke say?" ”
Xiao Yuanzheng below is like a clay sculpture, intending to keep his mouth shut, how can he bear the saint's inquiry, he must answer.
After a little helplessness, he wanted to take the crown and ask for exemption, and Emperor Jing immediately waved his hand: "Xiao Xiang doesn't have to be like this. ”
Xiao Yuanzheng said helplessly: "It must be a matter of chasing the wind and catching shadows, Weichen has been inspecting and introspecting for many years, accumulating years without slacking off, and the courtiers are all state affairs, how dare they give it privately?"
In addition, the ministers also knew that it was taboo for their relatives to interfere in politics, so they did not fear self-police for a day, and they never dared to cross the line from their subordinate ministers. ”
This cheek, even Xiahou Chun couldn't help but look sideways, and felt sorry in his heart, sure enough, the so-called 'conceding power' and 'self-examination' in history need to be carefully studied.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanzheng changed his words and said in a deep voice: "But there is no wind and waves, and the ministers have attracted this evil rumor, which is by no means groundless, and it must be that the ministers have forgotten their ways, which makes the ministers unhappy and the lowly officials jealous." ”
He bowed down and said sincerely ashamed: "Your Majesty is asked to surrender my sins, and give me to return to my hometown and retire for the rest of my life." ”
Liu Yu on the side frowned, so angry that his liver was angry, and he almost gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Yuanzheng, you can actually say such brazen words, it really opened his eyes.
He immediately raised his wat and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance." ”
Emperor Jing pressed him lightly, pressed him down, and said: "Xiao Xiang is the humerus of me, the pillar of the country, and cannot be easily shaken. And he often does the government and has meritorious achievements in Yasukuni, and he can't cover up his great virtue with small flaws, so there is no need to say it again. ”
He paused in a tone and said loudly: "What's more, this is a word made out of nothing, how can such a slanderous word be done?" ”
Liu Yu looked depressed and silently retreated to the court.
Xiahou Chun, who was watching from the sidelines, understood that this was the power of the Xiao Party, and it was clearly his own old man who tolerated and nurtured the traitors, no wonder Xiao Xiang was difficult to contain, and the Xiao Party was rampant.
He frowned slightly, in the first round, he didn't even deduct any of the opponents, and he was almost crushed.
glanced at Emperor Jing, I know that Liu Yushi is my person, and he still doesn't give face, old man, are you going to rebel? Didn't you see that the wheels of the car were crushed in the face of Prince Ben?
This is not over, I saw one person in the Xiao Party camp stand up.
"The minister has a play!" Hao Fu, the servant of the ministry, endured the ranks, and said with his hand.
Emperor Jing was quite embarrassed, and said with his head bowed: "Quasi-play." ”
Hao Furen's face was resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "Those who hear the officials are the lifeblood of the country and the parents of the people. If there is a big move, it cannot be done unless it is recommended by the courtiers and the officials; If this verse is missed, it is suspected of being unjust.
Now I heard that the prince privately promoted the official as a court official, secretly introduced the courtiers as minions, wantonly framed the Zaifu, and slandered the important ministers. The minister thought that this move should not be allowed by the Jing Law Firm. ”
Xiahou Chun's face sank suddenly, and he looked down at Hao Furen who was calm and calm below, gritted his teeth, and secretly hated, this had just buttoned a hat for Xiao Yuanzheng, and he was poured a basin of cold water by his party.
Hey, this retribution is coming pretty fast.
Emperor Jing glanced at Sima Yuan with a vague playful look, and after coughing lightly, he said to Hao Furen with a pleasant face: "Since the crown prince has reached the crown, he can participate in politics and assist the country, and it is also appropriate to recommend good talents and beautiful jade." ”
After rejecting the appeal, Emperor Jing also smiled at Xiahou Chun, and smiled secretly so that you can, look, these court officials are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Xiahou Chun's face was expressionless, his eyes and nose were looking at his heart.
This kind of fighting method of killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 is too undesirable, the so-called public mouth is gold, accumulating and destroying bones, if you really let these people slander the master so unscrupulously, then I am afraid that the position of the prince will be taken away sooner or later.
No, we have to fight back.
Gotta kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys!
In addition, Lao Tzu's revenge plan should also be put on the agenda.
His Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through the narrow slits of his eyes.
Then he glanced down lightly, and someone immediately understood.
The new servant Guan Jiusi strode forward and said loudly: "Chen Guan Jiusi has a performance. ”
"Accurate!"
After Guan Jiusi took a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Jinchen found out that the person who framed the prince for rebellion and coerced the guards of the East Palace to invade the Taiji Hall was Zhang Chengen, the eunuch of the East Palace, and Yang Zhong, the right commander of the Yulin Army. ”
Yang Zhong, a native of Yunzhong, was originally a captain of the Praetorian Guard, and later moved to the Yulin Army after the operation of the Xiao Party, named Gongwei Banzhong, but in fact, he planted his henchmen.
Zhang Chengen, originally a eunuch in the former queen's palace, was later given Xiahou Chun as a personal eunuch because of his loyalty, but he was secretly won over by Concubine Xiao.
Xiahou Chun wants revenge, and these two are naturally the primary targets of destruction.
The faces of many people in the court changed slightly, and after quietly looking at each other, they frowned slightly, this matter is not easy to meddle in, after all, it belongs to Emperor Jing's family affairs.
What's more, they can see that although our majesty favors Xiao Xiang, he also loves his own son very much.
Sure enough, as Xiahou Chun expected, since 'the prince is not to blame', it is naturally the fault of his subordinates.
Immediately condensed his head and said: "Yang Zhong of the former Yulin Army committed disobedience and deliberate rebellion, and immediately took him into custody in the prison of the Criminal Department, and beheaded him after the autumn. ”
As for the great eunuch Chen Zhaosi, although you reported the 'prince conspiracy' to me and were loyal to me, you were a traitor and put you by the widow's side, and I was uneasy.
He immediately continued: "Zhang Chengen, the former eunuch of the East Palace, devoured the master and plotted rebellion, that is, he was beheaded!" ”
Hearing that even Chen Zhaosi was beheaded, Xiao Yuanzheng not only moved his lips lightly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally endured it.
This made Xiahou Chun, who had been observing him, very disappointed, and secretly slandered: You are a dignified prime minister, your 'PHS' is about to be beheaded, don't you lend a helping hand?
Aren't you afraid that the party under your command will be cold?
The atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and the atmosphere of the Xiao party was sluggish, and they temporarily died down.
The Yasukuni Party began to raise its head, only to hear that Vice Minister Zhang Yanshou asked Lang Yanshu, the former master of ceremonies in the East Palace, to have the merit of 'refuting the rules and refuting the rules and serving the prince', and please reward him.
Yan Shutong, Fuzhou Xianchang people, fifteen because of the 'prodigy' was given the birth of Jinshi, the first Hongwenguan orthography, and later moved to Taichang Temple Fenglilang, named Counselor Etiquette, in fact, it is mainly based on learning and edification;
This time, taking this person as a point and rewarding meritorious deeds, it is also Zhang Yanshou's desire to completely turn the page of 'The Prince's Rebellion', so as to achieve the purpose of setting things right, and also to avoid the chatter of the officials and imperial historians in the future.
Emperor Jing pondered for a while, and Yan Shu said with his chin: "Zhang Ge's recommendation is reasonable, and the officials are rewarded for their meritorious deeds." ”
Xiao Yuanzheng's forehead protruded slightly, and it was just a matter of punishing the two of them to set an example, but now they still have to be gilded in a high-sounding manner, so Xiao Someone can't bear it.
I saw him tilt his head slightly, and someone immediately came out behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is inappropriate!" ”
