Chapter 281: Emperor Wu is the Ming Monarch, and the County Officials Are the Faint Monarchs? (Ask for subscription)
Although there were many courtiers who were talking to each other, there seemed to be many who were unmoved.
This does not bode well.
Huo Guang, who had experienced many storms in the court, felt the smell of conspiracy.
But the stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, and Huo Guang is that fish.
It's just that he still can't figure out where the hand that is pushing this conspiracy behind his back comes from.
Huo Guang finally looked at Cai Yi, the imperial historian who was kneeling on the ground, and recalled the whole process of this person's promotion.
A native of Wen County, Hanoi, from a slightly cold background, diligent in reading, because of the good governance of the "Book of Songs", through the Ming Jing a subject, the starting point of the career is the general's office.
For many years in the General's Mansion, Cai Yi was not outstanding, so his official career was not smooth.
Later, because Emperor Xiaozhao became interested in the Book of Songs, he recruited people who were good at reading the Book of Songs in Chang'an and the court, and Cai Yi was recommended by Huo Guang to Emperor Xiaozhao.
This recommendation seems to have opened a door for Cai Yi.
Starting from the Guanglu doctor, he briefly served as a young man in the middle, and by virtue of his age and qualifications, he became a doctor of the imperial history and ranked as the third prince.
Moreover, he almost became the prime minister.
Cai Yi has served as a lot of officials, but there are few opportunities to be in power.
Huo Guang couldn't figure out why Cai Yi was suddenly so reckless today and put forward such a rebellious opinion.
Cai Yi is by no means the initiator, he must have a backstage,
Who wants to touch me?
Huo Guang looked around at the courtiers around him again, except for Zongzheng Liu De, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
However, Liu De actually forced his eyes at the moment, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Don't want to stand up now, okay, it doesn't matter, soon you'll jump out.
Huo Guang had a killing intent in his heart, and he hadn't been angry for a long time, and some people in the court seemed to have forgotten that he Huo Guang had also come out of the sea of corpses and blood.
"Cai Qing, let's be polite, what do you think of Cai Qing's proposal? I don't know much about government affairs, and I want to hear what other people have to say. The voice of the Son of Heaven came from the high jade steps, as if it had become very distant and ethereal, and no emotion could be heard.
Cai Yi stood up tremblingly, and the big sword he wore on his waist for the first time was so discordant that it almost tripped him up.
Without squinting, he straightened some of his clothes, stood back in his place, and closed his eyes.
turned a blind eye to everyone, including Ren Gong and Huo Guang.
A calm look.
The Son of Heaven gave you a sword to go to the palace, do you really think that you can be on an equal footing with the old man?
The pearl of rice grains, also shines?
Let you see, what is the real auxiliary minister, the elder of the three dynasties.
Huo Guang thought about it and turned his gaze to Ren Gong beside Cai Yi.
Ren Gong has just reached the age of fifty, and he is still considered to be in the prime of life, and he has served as a lieutenant, a guard lieutenant, and a deacon Jinwu all the way before, and the Taichang position that he previously stepped down from was to supervise the Taichang County composed of Ling County.
Therefore, he is not only half a military general, but also holds positions with real power.
Under the infiltration of power, the arrogance of the "meat eater" on Ren Gong's body is very heavy, and the facial features on his face inexorably exude a kind of rebelliousness and majesty.
This is by no means comparable to Cai Yi's useless decay.
At this moment, Ren Gong didn't look at Cai Yi, but his cold face was already full of killing intent.
Waiting for Huo Guang to give an order, he would jump out, pounce on Cai Yi's body, and tear Cai Yi hard.
Soon, Huo Guang's gaze met Ren Gong's, the former nodded imperceptibly, and the latter immediately understood.
This is a tacit understanding.
Ren Gong walked out, bowed down and said, "Prime Minister Ren Gong has something to do." ”
Ren Qing got up and replied.
Ren Gong didn't stand up, he continued to kneel and said: "The power and responsibility of the Shangshu Department to deal with the book is the ancestral system set by Emperor Xiaowu, which has not changed after three dynasties. ”
The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and from the point of view of real power, the imperial historian is actually the prime minister's second official.
According to common sense, Prime Minister Ren Gong came forward, so if Cai Yi only put forward this motion in a moment of confusion, then he should be sober at this moment.
will definitely obediently retract and stop talking, I'm afraid that I will have to worry about whether I can keep the position of Imperial Doctor after I disperse.
Huo Guang was very satisfied with Ren Gong's performance, and stroked his beautiful hair.
A look can make the prime minister charge into battle, what is confidence, this is confidence; What is domineering, this is domineering.
Although Ren Gong has become the prime minister, he has not yet had time to become a marquis.
When this is over, it's time for him to be a marquis.
However, what Huo Guang didn't expect still happened, Cai Yi, who was about to die, actually stood up again and knelt down beside Ren Gong.
This made the killing intent in Huo Guang's eyes even worse, what does this old thing want to do!
"The old minister disagrees with what the prime minister said, and the prime minister said that the ancestral system cannot be changed."
"But in the decades from Emperor Gao to Emperor Xiaojing, the letters of the subjects of the world were all sorted out by the Imperial Shi Dafu Mansion and played the Son of Heaven."
"Then Emperor Xiaowu asked the Shangshu Department to deal with all the chapters, didn't he also change the ancestral system?"
Cai Yi's rhetoric looks like nonsense, but when you dig deeper, there is no problem at all.
The rules set by Emperor Xiaowu are the ancestral system, but are the rules set by Emperor Gao, Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing not the ancestral system?
"The prime minister said that the ancestral system cannot be changed, but Emperor Xiaowu also changed the ancestral system, does the prime minister want to say that Emperor Xiaowu has changed it wrong?"
"Ren Gong, the old man wants to ask, Emperor Xiaowu changed the power to deal with Zhang Song from the Imperial Shi Dafu Mansion to the Shangshu Department, is it right or not!"
"This ......" Ren Gong was stunned for a moment, and then finished for a while.
I didn't expect this audacious Cai Yi to play tricks, and he actually had some ability.
In just a few sentences, Ren Gong was blocked at both ends of the bamboo tube - neither advance nor retreat.
Now, if Emperor Xiaowu of Ren Palace changed correctly, then of course the regulations implemented today can be changed; If Ren Gong said that Emperor Xiaowu had changed wrongly, then it should be restored to the old regulations.
In any case, it is absolutely unjustifiable for Ren Gong to use the article "the ancestral system cannot be changed" as a rhetoric.
"At this time, at that time, Emperor Xiaowu is the Ming Jun, so he naturally changed it right, but at this moment, it should naturally not be changed." Ren Gong said forcefully.
"Emperor Xiaowu can change it if he is a Ming monarch, but he can't change it now, is it because he is a faint monarch today?"
Cai Yi's two sentences were unscrupulous, and as soon as they came out, they once again aroused the discussion of the courtiers.
"You, you're clinging indiscriminately, spewing blood!" The excited Ren Gong immediately stood up, took a step forward and pointed at Cai Yi and scolded angrily, the raised hand was still shaking.
Cai Yi also stood up, with his hands behind his back, meeting Ren Gong's gaze, without fear, and said slowly: "Ren Gong, don't worry, you should answer the two questions that the old man just said!" ”
It seems that this Cai Yi has come up with a deadly posture.
Where did he get the confidence today, did he lose his heart and go crazy?
Have you ever thought about a question, what kind of situation is it in Chang'an at this time? How many troops does the Huo Party have, how many troops does the Son of Heaven have, and who can win by force?
slaughtered Huo Guang with one knife, regardless of whether there is no evidence of Huo Guang's crime, if he does this, he will open a Pandora's box, and the villains he encounters in the future can kill and kill all the way, anyway, Huo Guang can kill, which of the others can't kill?
