Chapter 252: Strike
The direction of the imperial court could not be more obvious, and even the once-powerful Wang family was degraded by the Empress Dowager Fu, and was exempted.
This is a very clear signal that it is time for officials to take sides.
Si led the captain Xie Guang is one of the best, he impeached Wang Gen before, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Wang family. Therefore, he won Liu Xin's favor.
He pondered for a long time, and then thought of another trick.
He set his sights on Zhao Feiyan.
Although the Zhao family is thin, it has been popular for at least ten years, and there are many followers leaning under the big tree of the Zhao family. Since Empress Dowager Fu wants to interfere in politics, the Zhao family is naturally also a roadblock.
Xie Guang gave Liu Xin a secret recital, in which he pointed out the secret story of Emperor Cheng and the Zhao sisters strangling the prince's palace. Liu Xin was extremely shocked when he saw such a ridiculous thing for the first time.
In his heart, his uncle is not such a foolish person, he didn't expect to do such a foolish thing.
However, the Zhao sisters helped him back then, and this kindness cannot be forgotten.
He only issued an edict to dismiss the clansman Zhao Qin and the other two, as well as his relatives to move to the border.
Seeing this painless punishment, Xie Guang could only blame himself for a bad move.
In the first year of Jianping (6 BC), the controversy over etiquette arose again.
Lang Zhong Ling Bao and Huangmen Lang Duan Yu proposed that in front of the Empress Dowager Gong and the Empress Dowager Gong, they should add a set of pottery, which is more twisted, their carriages and horses, and clothes should be matched by the royal family, and they should be called the emperor, and they should set up two thousand stone officials under them, and they should build a Gonghuang Temple for the emperor's biological father.
This piece is a sycophant at first glance.
This sycophant was filmed in too time, and Empress Dowager Fu was happy when she heard it.
Liu Xin threw out this issue in the court.
Most of the ministers agreed, didn't they agree, even the great Sima Wang Mang was driven away?
Kong Guang, Fu Xi and Shi Dan glanced at each other, but they stood up together, thinking that this was unreasonable etiquette. Among them, Shi Dan talked endlessly for nearly half an hour, and the posture was like he was teaching students back then.
But he is still him, but the student has become a high monarch.
Liu Xin's mood was originally good, but he was disturbed by these three old guys, especially one was a teacher and the other was an uncle, which made him feel in a hurry and lose his patience.
He said loudly, "Enough, I have my own opinions." ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Shi Dan and the others were stunned, in his impression, this little doll had never been so angry.
"Old thing, it's really old and confused. I thought I was his student. Liu Xin scolded and ran to the harem.
happened to meet Empress Fu, who was the niece of Empress Dowager Fu and the daughter of Fu Yan, Marquis of Kongxiang. Counting it up, Empress Fu is Liu Xin's aunt, and Empress Dowager Fu specially arranged it this way in order to strengthen the connection with her grandson.
Seeing that Liu Xin was angry, Empress Fu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you angry, who provoked you?" ”
"It's not your damn uncle, I use him heavily, and he actually works against me?"
"You mean Uncle Xi, Uncle Xi is that kind of person, even the Queen Mother dares to top him, not to mention that you are his junior!"
"Hmph..."
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Uncle Xi has an upright personality, don't blame him."
Liu Xin was persuaded by her like this, but she also understood that his court can't be all sycophants, if that's the case, then who will implement his ambitions. It's just that the Great Sima Shidan should not admonish me in front of the ministers, and this matter must not be stopped.
His anger gradually subsided, and the queen was in his company, and his mood was half better.
After Liu Xin went through this incident, he always hoped that Da Sima Shidan would make some mistakes so that he could vent his anger as soon as possible.
Someone wrote a letter suggesting that the currency be changed to increase the wealth of the common people, Liu Xin found Shi Dan and asked him his opinion on this matter, and Shi Dan thought that the person who wrote the book was reasonable and could change the currency.
When Liu Xin threw this issue to the court, most of the courtiers disagreed.
If the pockets of the poor are solid, then their pockets will not be thin, so it is not acceptable to be killed. And when Liu Xin asked Shi Dan again, Shi Dan also thought that the ministers were right.
Liu Xin felt that this old man really didn't match his words, what he just said the day before yesterday was overturned today, he was really a sound worm, such a person, can he still be a big Sima?
Liu Xin had an opinion on Shi Dan, but he couldn't bear it, because he lacked a high-sounding reason, and Liu Xin's attitude towards Shi Dan had already fallen into the eyes of the children of the Ding and Fu families.
Shi Dan has a habit of asking his subordinates to keep a copy when he goes to the tantric recital.
This matter was discovered by the Ding and Fu people, and they reported the matter to Liu Xin, and added a handful of vinegar from the side.
Liu Xin solemnly asked the opinion of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military on this matter, and everyone thought: "Loyal ministers will not do this, how can they let the secret music spread to the outside world?" Therefore, Shi Dan committed the crime of great disrespect. ”
There are also two people who are unhappy for Shi Dan, but they are like a drop in the ocean and can't set off any wind and waves.
"Okay, the person who speaks for Shi Dan will be demoted by two ranks, Shi Dan will be dismissed, let him go." Liu Xin finally gave a conclusion that everyone was stunned by, an emperor, just get out of the way, what kind of world?
A few days after Shi Dan left, Liu Xin's feverish mind finally calmed down.
He regretted it a little.
"Anyway, he's also his own teacher?"
It happened that another piece of music for Shi Dan's grievances came, and Liu Xin roughly skimmed through it, and then issued another edict. "Appoint Shi Dan as the Marquis of Guannei."
The appointment of Shi Dan is nothing more.
The Great Sima was served by Fu Xi, and the Great Sikong (formerly the Imperial Historian) was served by Zhu Bo.
