Chapter 282: The Huo Party of the Middle Father Bites, and the Emperor Party of Me Fights the Dog (Ask for Subscription)
The two questions raised by Cai Yi are naturally "ill-intentioned".
It wasn't to get an answer, but to get Ren Gong involved in endless verbal battles.
And Ren Gong was indeed speechless when asked, and his trembling right hand was raised and lowered, put down and raised, and did not say a coherent and complete sentence.
Ren Gong's experience in governance is unquestionable, but he may not be stronger than Cai Yi in verbal debate - Confucianism has no shortage of debates in his life, and many people have spoken their tongues.
However, Ren Gong didn't speak, it didn't mean that he just admitted defeat, because he knew that even if he lost face at the moment, he couldn't talk nonsense.
If you are not careful, you will be kicked out of the court by the Son of Heaven because of a word, just like Xiahou Sheng, Yang Chang and others.
He is the prime minister set by the general, and he has absolute authority above the court.
But he didn't dare to be careless, who knows if this was a trick by the imperial historian Cai Yi to deliberately provoke him?
Maybe they just want to force themselves to say the wrong thing, trap themselves in the place of disloyalty, and then replace them.
This old Confucian's idea is too naΓ―ve, without the approval of the general, no one can take over the position of prime minister.
Cai Yi, this old guy, is simply dizzy.
Thinking of this joint, Ren Gong calmed down a little bit.
He flicked his sleeves and left the core position in the hall, temporarily avoiding Cai Yi's limelight.
"Your Majesty, the minister's discussion today is not to fight for power and profit for himself, but just to hope that His Majesty can open up his views."
"It is not the norm for all chapters to be monopolized by the Shangshu Administration, and Your Majesty will one day be in charge of the government."
"Let the subjects of the world directly write to Your Majesty, not only can you open up your voice, but also let Your Majesty have a better understanding of the Han world, and pave the way for Your Majesty's pro-government in the future!"
Cai Yi said it righteously, this is not a lie at all, it shows that he has thoroughly thought through the matter in the past few days.
It doesn't matter if you don't have this imperial doctor, as long as the Son of Heaven is in power, the Cai family will be able to obtain greater benefits.
For the greater good, anything can be freed!
Cai Yi talked eloquently, and Ren Gong was temporarily pushed aside.
The old man suddenly became the center of attention of the courtiers.
I'm afraid he has never been so noticed in his life.
Huo Guang naturally didn't know about Cai Yi's "deal" with the Son of Heaven, he looked at Cai Yi's smug expression, and there was some disgust in his heart.
This Cai Yi is so crazy that because he didn't become the prime minister, he made such a crazy fuss in the court.
In order to seize his own power, he ignored the face of the court and the face of the Son of Heaven, which was really mad.
On that day, it was really wise not to be the prime minister for him, and he should even be asked to return to his hometown as soon as possible and get out of Chang'an City.
Thinking in his heart, Huo Guang's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Huo Guang looked at Ren Gong again, and after looking at him, he gently pulled out a little bit of the sword in his hand with his backhand, and then instantly hid the sharp edge that was revealed at first glance.
Ren Gong, who also hated Cai Yi, immediately understood the meaning of the general.
Cai Yi can't be allowed to mess around anymore.
Gotta kill it!
Regardless of whether there is anyone behind Cai Yi or not, he has to kill him now.
Ren Gong took a step forward again, and suddenly shouted: "Cai Yi is rebellious, and he deserves death!" β
Ren's angry voice echoed in the hall, and finally interrupted Cai Yi, who was foaming at the mouth.
Cai Yi said that he was still proud, and was suddenly interrupted, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, a little stunned, and he didn't know what to do.
Ren Gong took a step forward, saluted the Son of Heaven above the jade steps, and immediately said with a gun and a stick.
"As soon as the Wulu Han army went out to fight, the whole country was tied to this."
"Cai Yi, as an important minister of the imperial court, does not consider sharing worries for His Majesty and the general, but instead makes his wisdom faint, and for his own desire for power, he will make extraneous branches and shake the hearts of the army, which is really a capital crime!"
"Weichen impeached Cai Yi, and I hope that Your Majesty will send him to prison and punish him with death!"
Huo Dang is going to flip the table?
"Whether the ancestral system can be changed" is an issue that may not be clear after three days and three nights of discussion, and it is an endless question.
Instead of entangled with this old Confucian, it is better to break through on the side and directly sacrifice the magic weapon of "shaking the heart of the army", which can solve Cai Yi once and for all.
This is the style of Huo Guang and Ren Gong as doers - savage, direct, domineering, and effective.
Before Cai Yi could speak out to defend himself, Taichang Lecheng immediately stood up.
"Weichen seconded the Prime Minister's words, Cai Yi's demonic words confuse the public, for his own selfish interests, he put the safety of the Han at risk, his heart can be punished, and I implore His Majesty to send him to prison!"
Then, some courtiers stood up and seconded the matter proposed by the Prime Minister Ren Palace.
These include Right Fufeng, Jing Zhaoyin, and the new Jianzhang Guard......
After a while, more than twenty courtiers in the palace stood up.
Huo Guang looked at the remaining courtiers calmly, as if threatening and provocative.
Zhang Anshi, Bingji, Liu De, Wei Xian, Wang Ji and others did not stand up, they stood silently in place, their faces expressionless, as if the things in the palace had nothing to do with them, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
In Huo Guang's eyes, these people are either close to Huo Guang, or they have long been suspicious of Huo Guang, or they are fame seekers, or they are cautious people......
No matter what the ingredients are, although they are in a high position, they will never turn their faces for a Cai Yi and themselves.
For more than ten years, Huo Guang has never fully mastered all the courtiers.
However, he can control the few minions who dare to fight with others, and drive the wolf and the tiger with a small and big way.
Just like at this moment, with Ren Gong and others in front, he doesn't have to come forward, he can control the situation and put Cai Yi into a situation from which he will never recover.
Huo Guang saw that the rest of the courtiers dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but it didn't matter.
At this moment, there is another person who needs to stand up, and that is Li Guang, the court lieutenant next to Huo Guang.
Like An Le, Tingwei Li Guang is actually a wall grass.
On weekdays, it wouldn't hurt without him, but today he had to come forward.
Because Li Guang is a court lieutenant, he is indispensable for Cai Yi to be convicted.
Huo Guang tilted his head slightly and gave Li Guang beside him a look.
Li Guang hesitated, but still stood up.
"Your Majesty, Li Guang, the court lieutenant of Weichen, thinks that the imperial historian Cai Yi has lost his honor in front of the emperor and should be punished according to the law." Mr. Lee's rhetoric was a little softer, but at least he expressed his attitude.
A smile appeared on Huo Guang's face, and he looked at Cai Yi who was a little helpless.
At this time, in the middle of the front hall, more than 20 courtiers were kneeling together, only Ren Gong and Cai Yi were still standing.
Ren Gong's gaze was aggressive, and Cai Yi's panic became more and more obvious.
The old man, who had somehow lost his mind, looked around blankly, as if he was looking for help, but there seemed to be no one to help him.
In the end, he actually looked up at the Son of Heaven.
Huo Guang felt even more funny, the Son of Heaven would not save you.
I wanted you to die in the office of the Imperial Doctor, why did you kill yourself?
Just as Huo Guang was about to stand up and ask the Son of Heaven to send Cai Yi down to the edict and give Cai Yi the final blow, the voice of the Son of Heaven floated down from the jade steps again.
"What Cai Qing and Ren Qing are arguing about, I have already understood."
"Cai Qing wants the subjects of the world to write directly to me, in order to let me speak widely and accumulate experience in governance."
"Ren Gong thinks that Cai Yi's move is out of selfishness, and he is suspected of shaking the morale of the army and harboring evil intentions."
"Two Aiqing, have I said it right?"
The voice of the Son of Heaven was very calm, like a scoop of cold water, temporarily extinguishing the anger in the temple.
Everyone, including Huo Guang, raised their heads and looked at the Son of Heaven.
"What Your Majesty said is exactly what Weichen thinks."
This was actually said by Cai Yi and Ren Gong at the same time.
"I stood far away and never saw clearly, but it seems that there are not many people kneeling in the hall, and most of the people in the Jiuqing have not expressed their position, so I still want to hear the opinions of others."
"Father Zhong, you are the Great Sima and one of the Three Princes, I want to hear your opinion on this matter first."
I don't know why, Huo Guang suddenly noticed something strange at this moment.
Not only because he was intercepted by the Son of Heaven, but also because the voice of the Son of Heaven seemed to be extremely far away from him today.
Could it be that the symptoms of tinnitus caused by wind chill have not been alleviated?
Huo Guang didn't think much about it, and took that step forward with his sword.
Huo Guang was already burly, and standing among the courtiers who bowed down, he stood out even more.
However, no matter how high Huo Guang is, standing here, looking at the Son of Heaven standing on the jade steps, he still needs to look up.
Today, Huo Guang feels that today's Son of Heaven seems to be a little different from the past.
But Huo Guang didn't have time to think about it, so he said slowly: "In the past, Emperor Xiaowu transferred the power to deal with Zhang Yue to the Shangshu Administration, so that all the decrees came from the Son of Heaven. β
"It doesn't matter if you go to the Shangshu Office or to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, it's no different, so the old minister thinks that there is no need to make extraneous branches."
"On the other hand, Cai Yi, as a doctor of imperial history, should know that the most important thing in the Han Dynasty today is the Northern Expedition of the Great Army, and now he rashly puts forward such an important discussion, the old man thinks it is inappropriate, although it has not caused turmoil in the court, but it will inevitably make people's hearts float."
"The old man thinks that Cai Yi is also an old minister, and there is no merit and hard work, so there is no need to go to prison, but I am afraid that it is no longer suitable to serve as the imperial historian in the court."
Although Huo Guang's words are reasonable, he is obviously singing a duet with Ren Gong and others.
100 steps forward, 10 steps back - in short, it is to drive Cai Yi out of the court.
Cai Yi was also extremely angry at this time, he took a step back, pointed at Huo Guang and said: "Hmph, the general said that this is for the sake of the decrees coming from the Son of Heaven, isn't it a shame, whether it is Emperor Xiaozhao or His Majesty today, when have you ever seen the chapter music on the courtiers and the people?" β
"Even Your Majesty can't see Zhang Yue, if Emperor Xiaowu has a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid he will be cold."
Cai Yi's stubbornness and stubbornness are beyond Huo Guang's imagination, and the other party is now leaving no room for anything.
"Cai Yi! When you say this, are you saying that the old man has usurped his power? Huo Guang said gloomily, staring at Cai Yi with a pair of tiger eyes.
"The general doesn't want to beat him up, you just say that although you are an auxiliary minister, you don't let Your Majesty see all the chapters......"
When Cai Yi said this, he seemed to be a little angry, and seemed to have made a lot of determination before squeezing out the last few words from his teeth.
"Aren't you afraid that the people of the world will say that you are arbitrary and plotting against you? Don't let the subjects of the world play directly to the Son of Heaven? Is it a fear of impeachment? β
Cai Yi asked a few questions in a row, and every sentence was poked at the critical point of Huo Guang's life.
Together with Huo Dang, who was kneeling on the ground, everyone looked at Cai Yi, who was thin in disbelief.
Some words are not commensurate, four or two; On the scale, I can't beat a thousand catties.
Huo Guang, who was in a hurry, also felt a tightness in his chest, and suddenly a layer of black mist crossed in front of him again.
How could Huo Guang not know what Cai Yi said-knowing that under the court, there were many people slandering themselves.
But as long as they are not on the surface, then they can be comfortably not there.
Put it in the court, it is simply a slap in the face of Huo Guang.
Huo Guang denied that it was not, and it was definitely not.
This damn Cai Yi!
After this silence in the hall, Huo Guang saluted the Son of Heaven and said as if indignant: "Your Majesty, what the Imperial Historian Cai Yi said is a heart-wrenching argument, and it is not appropriate for the old minister to refute it. β
"Whether to let the subjects of the world play directly to the Son of Heaven, the old man implores His Majesty to decide!"
Since it's hard for you to speak, let the Son of Heaven decide.
Once the Son of Heaven has made a decision, Cai Yi has no way to speak - Huo Guang has this confidence, and the Son of Heaven will not listen to the advice of this crazy old man.
Huo was on the ground, waiting for the voice of the Son of Heaven, and everyone was waiting for the voice of the Son of Heaven.
"I have already understood everything that you Aiqing said."
"Cai Gong wants me to directly see the recitals of the subjects of the world, so he is naturally kind."
"Father Zhong wants the Han government decree to come from a government, and he has his own reasons."
"When it comes to asking my opinion, I am also very hesitant, and like my middle father, I am not easy to decide."
"Agreeing to Cai Qing's proposal, it seems that I don't trust my middle father."
"I agree with the middle father's proposal, but I am afraid that the middle father will be slandered by the world."
β¦β¦
The more Huo Guang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, his attitude was already so obvious, why did the Son of Heaven still compare Cai Yi with himself?
Could it be that the Son of Heaven was really considering Cai Yi's proposal?
"I just said it, and I want to hear the opinions of other courtiers, but now that only the middle father has said it, what do the other courtiers think?"
Huo was on the ground, so he couldn't raise his head yet, so he could only wait silently for the courtier's reaction.
He didn't think anyone would dare to stand up at this moment and say something "disregard for the overall situation" - it almost meant that he was going to break the net.
However, before Huo Guang's arrogance could be expressed in his chest, he heard that someone seemed to really stand up behind him.
"Weichen Zongzheng Liu De, thinks that the subjects of the world can directly write to His Majesty, and the Shangshu Department can still be the prime minister as before, so it can be regarded as a wide range of words, and the general is above board, and he can also prove his innocence and be not afraid of rumors."
There was no wave in Liu De's words, and it seemed that he thought about it for a long time before saying it.
Huo Guang sneered, this matter is really related to Liu De, and the Marquis of Yangcheng can't stay this year.
Unexpectedly, it seems that a second person has stepped forward.
"Weichen Shaofu Bingji, seconded Zongzheng Liu De, His Majesty has only been on the throne for a few months, but the government is harmonious, and he has the demeanor of a wise monarch, if he can see the letters of the subjects of the world, he will definitely be able to have a better understanding of the government and politics, so that he can be pro-government as soon as possible in the future."
Huo Guang frowned, and there was a little more puzzlement in his heart, Bingji used to be his own long history, and he was only recently promoted to Shaofu by himself, why did he collude with Liu Dexin today?
Is this a coincidence or a conspiracy?
Huo Guang couldn't think of a reason why Bingji "betrayed" him, he just found it incomprehensible.
"Weichen Zhang Anshi, seconded Zongzheng Liu De......"
The buzzer that had always existed in Huo Guang's ears was a little louder, so that he couldn't really hear what Zhang Anshi was saying later.
But......
These people are just the beginning.
The court, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively.
One by one, the courtiers stood up one after another.
"Weichen Dahonglu Wei Xian, seconded Zongzheng Liu De......"
"Doctor Liu Jia of Guanglu of Weichen Menxia Temple, seconded Zongzheng Liu De......"
"Weichen advises Doctor Zhang Yi, and seconds Zongzheng Liu De......"
β¦β¦
"Weichen Taixue ordered Wang Shi, and led the doctors and officials to seconded Zongzheng Liu De......"
"Weichen Weiyang Weiwei Wang Ji, seconded Zongzheng Liu De......"
The courtiers stood up one after another, kneeling down one after another behind the lonely Huo party.
The "plopping sound" of the knees on the ground is endless, and it gathers together, like the roar of the Yellow River when it bursts.
Those Huo Dang, who knelt down earlier, could no longer care about their own demeanor, and turned their heads to look behind them, with a look of horror on their faces.
Many of the less important courtiers standing on the outermost side also stood up one by one, and then fell to their knees behind them.
Without exception, all of them seconded Zongzheng Liu De.
Huo Guang's chest ached, and the black fog in front of him became heavier and wider.
For some reason, he was in a bit of a trance, as if everything was a dream now.
This political strongman, who has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, felt a wave of boredom, anger, incomprehension and weakness at this moment.
He couldn't care about the so-called court etiquette anymore, and stood up from the ground.
In a slight shaking, the whole person almost fell.
But in the end, he was able to stand firm.
Look back.
Starting from less than half a zhang behind him, all the way to the front hall door a few zhang away, all of them were kneeling courtiers.
Not only courtiers, but also clan relatives.
When the black fog in front of Huo Guang's eyes completely disappeared again, he finally saw that in the entire hall, only a dozen or so ministers were still standing in place.
There are more than 20 people in the Huo Party, but there are more than 50 people who oppose the Huo Party, and there are more than a dozen people in the wavering wall.
Among those courtiers who stood up to support Liu De, many belonged to official positions with high rank but no real power.
In Huo Guang's eyes, it belongs to the category of too many and a lot less - this is the remaining problem after Emperor Xiaowu opened the Chinese Dynasty.
But at this moment, these foreign officials who have not completely lost their influence add up to make Huo Guang feel a lot of pressure.
When did the general trend in the court become like this?
Huo Guang couldn't figure it out.
Ask for a subscription! I have read many of the opinions of the reader, and I can understand many of them, but the wood is already in the boat, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn around for a while. I'll pay attention to some of the next questions!
