Chapter 324: In the court, there are open guns and hidden arrows
In the spacious, bright, majestic and solemn Xuanzheng Palace, the sunlight enters the hall through the window and the gap between the opening of the door, and the light and dust are the same.
The warm air, but the cold atmosphere, is very subtle.
In the first court gathering after the prince's wedding, a strong earthquake was destined to occur.
The ceremony of Yuan Zhi, which appeared today, is also different from usual.
Wearing the crown of the prince of Jiuhan, wearing the crimson robe of the prince of Panlong, pedaling deerskin palace boots, and his eyes appeared coldly from behind the screen of the inner hall, Xuzhou walked on the jade steps.
Two more people were added behind him.
One is the crown princess, that is, the secretary Qiu Feng, who holds a golden wooden staff in both hands, which is the leading authority representing the imperial power.
The other is the prince's guard with a sword in front of the emperor, Jiang Wulang, the captain of Qianniu, who holds a sword of the Son of Heaven in both hands.
After the wedding, the prince of the prison country, the momentum of the first time in the dynasty is more solemn and majestic.
He slowly sat down on the Taishi chair next to the dragon chair, and his eyes swept over all the more than 100 officials who had arrived at the hall.
After kneeling on the ground and singing, the master spoke slowly and said:
"All the ministers have arrived, so Lone will get straight to the point."
"Just over half of this month, two major events happened, the first thing is the prince's wedding, according to the ancestors, a man must start a family before he can officially start a business, so his father gave two things to the orphan in the Zichen Palace on the night of the wedding."
"These two things must have been seen by all the ministers, one is the authority of the royal dragon's head, and the other is the sword of the Son of Heaven, the meaning of these two objects, don't bother to talk about it."
The ministers immediately bowed their hands and said: "Congratulations to Your Highness, everything will be good from now on, and your prestige will spread far and wide, and you will be able to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future." ”
This is not just a compliment, everyone is trying to be auspicious.
This authority and the sword of the Son of Heaven means that the prince of the prison country can kill the prince and the minister of the first rank in court, and there is no need to play the Ming Sheng.
"Another thing happened at the beginning of the month, due to the long distance, I only learned today that this matter is related to the foundation of the society, and now there is an accident, if you don't deal with it seriously, there will be endless troubles."
Now that the scene has been said, it's time to get down to business.
After Yuan Zhi coughed twice, his voice echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall clearly.
"You all congratulated Gu just now, saying that everything will be good from now on, and you will continue to forge ahead into the future? But the big wedding a few days ago couldn't stop some chaotic ministers and thieves from assassinating on the banks of the Seoul River, and they wanted the life of the prince all the time! ”
"Please calm your anger, these are clowns who jump off the beam, and they can't do anything about themselves!"
“……”
The ministers were comforting.
Looking at the ministers with their heads bowed at the foot of the steps, Yuan Zhi's heart seemed to have mixed tastes, which was very unpleasant.
The vast majority of them were newly promoted ministers in the new regime, and they naturally supported the crown prince.
The other part is the old minister, Cao Qichang stepped down, and the current representative is Yang Du.
Most of these people belong to the wallgrass.
He was resistant or skeptical about the prince's strict reforms, the punishment of corruption, the opening of sources and the reduction of expenditure, the reuse of the education policy of the Han Shu people, and the promotion of the social status of merchants.
They believe that this goes against social ethics and class nature and shakes the fundamental interests of the noble family, especially the wealthy families.
Therefore, such a change is destined to lose the support of the gate valve tycoons.
Of course, they didn't dare to stand up blatantly against it, because they were afraid of the imperial power in the hands of the crown prince, the dragon head authority and the sword of the Son of Heaven.
There must be someone on these wall grasses who secretly communicated with Jiangnan, or was directly bought by Jiangnan and became Ning Wang's undercover agent.
It is impossible for the crown prince to oust Yang Du and others from power without real evidence.
This will directly arouse the panic of the world's scholars, scholars and scholars.
Because Yang Du and others are all representatives of scholars, they are all over the world.
It can only be gradually restricted and eliminated, and cannot be rushed.
Thinking of this, the prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Let's put aside the assassination of the prince for now, these are all done by the clowns,
It's not worth mentioning, but the turmoil in Guazhou in the Western Regions is shocking and has a very bad impact. ”
"Lone made a special trip this time to recall Lord Cao Kesheng, the assassin of Guazhou, Cao Qing, please state what happened in Dunhuang this month in court, so that all the ministers can understand the truth."
Cao Kesheng, who was standing at the end of the front, did not hesitate, and after he came out of the ranks, he first saluted the prince, and then stated:
"On the first two days of this month, Xiaguan received reports from several scholars, saying that the Dunhuang Zhang clan had colluded with the rebel horse bandits, and they were still planning greater actions and conspiracies with each other.
"But the Zhang family not only did not cooperate, but also had a very arrogant and arrogant attitude, saying that the Zhang family was a second-class marquis, and his family advocated that Chong and Shao advocated that Bao was not in the mansion, and without the consent of the two of them, even if it was a subordinate official representing the imperial court, they were not allowed to enter the mansion for half a step without an edict."
"Xia Guan had a conflict with the Zhang family, and finally led his troops to forcibly enter Zhang's mansion, and successfully searched for letters between them and the rebel horse bandits in his mansion."
"There are also several mansions in the mansion who came forward to identify family bandits, murder of court officials and other crimes."
"In the face of ironclad evidence, the Zhang family began to deny it in every possible way, and finally saw that the situation was not good, and actually began to resist with arms, but fortunately, with the support of the Western Army stationed in Crescent Spring, all the Zhang family members were finally brought to justice."
“……”
Cao Kesheng described the whole process in detail, then clenched his fists and said loudly:
"The above is the whole incident, all documentary evidence, human and physical evidence, etc., the lower officials have been handed over to the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace for verification and disposal, there is no fabrication or concealment, and everything stated is true."
After hearing this, the prince sneered and said to the officials under the imperial stage:
"All the ministers have heard it, so let's discuss it, what do you think of this matter?"
On the Xuanzheng Palace, it was surprisingly quiet.
Fools can see that the biggest driving force behind this matter is above this court.
Either Zhao Wang and Yang Xiang who were standing in the front row.
Either it is the prince of the prison country who is sitting on the jade steps.
Although the ministers below have their own factions and have clear banners, at this time, none of the masters they follow have spoken, and no one will speak indiscriminately.
Of course, the crown prince couldn't let him be cold, he was prepared.
I saw him squint his eyes, and his voice was eerie and cold, "Didn't anyone speak?" Good... King Zhao, let's talk about it first. ”
Yuan Luo shuddered in fright, and his head couldn't help but rise, pretending to look like he didn't want to do anything.
The prince didn't like to go around the corner, his sharp gaze fell on Yuan Luo, and he condensed into the focus and remained motionless.
"Third brother of the emperor, this famous Dunhuang Zhang family who likes to make trouble, you won't tell the ministers that you don't know each other, right?"
The storm is coming!
