Chapter 8: Defeat the enemy with one move

Diligent Palace.

Silence.

The hundred officials looked at Prime Minister Cai Cheng in shock, and dared to participate in Su Mingyuan's party.

Forming a party is a felony of punishing the nine clans.

However, who doesn't know that Su Mingyuan is His Majesty's right-hand man, and you are a prime minister in name only, why do you have the courage to fight against it.

"Your Majesty, this is evidence collected by the minister."

Prime Minister Cai Cheng knelt in front of the jade steps, his hands raised high, and he looked like he was loyal to the country.

"Master Su arranged his protégés and former officials in six ministries and local key departments, and several of them were repeatedly promoted. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the court and the place will become the hall of Lord Su's words! ”

The newly promoted head of the chamberlain, Gonggong Xu, took the fold and presented it to the front of the palace.

The orthodox emperor opened his eyes and looked at it, it was no different from what Prime Minister Cai Cheng said, and after a little silence, he made a decision.

"What does Su Aiqing have to say?"

"Back to Your Majesty."

Su Mingyuan took a step forward, bowed down and said, "All officials are promoted in accordance with the law, and those who are exceptionally promoted will have corresponding merits." ”

Prime Minister Cai Cheng knelt on the ground, and when he saw Su Mingyuan standing, coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Master Su is only thirty years old, and I don't know how many protégés I will have to train in the future, and the minister has to admonish for the sake of the stability of the country!"

Wow!

Hundreds of officials are talking, or gloating, or it has nothing to do with themselves, some people support Su Mingyuan, and some people stand on Prime Minister Cai's side.

The orthodox emperor frowned slightly, but Su Mingyuan was still very useful, and he couldn't be too harsh, Prime Minister Cai Cheng did a good job, and he just used him to restrain Su Mingyuan's power.

"This autumn will be presided over by Cai Aiqing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Prime Minister Cai Cheng's goal was achieved, he bowed three times and thanked him, and glanced at Su Mingyuan's face.

Su Mingyuan was involved in the fraud case, and he did not share the sky with the Jiangnan family, and all he could win over was the new scholars, and if he snatched the power to preside over the imperial examination, it became a source of water.

"This guy is just His Majesty's knife, the old man only needs to be temporarily clamped, and when he waits for the day of liquidation, he will naturally win a big victory!"

Prime Minister Cai Cheng can climb to the top of a hundred officials in just a few years, but he can not only create auspiciousness.

People who are good at patting sycophants must be proficient in manipulating people's hearts, for example, Your Majesty is already forty and six, how can he leave Su Mingyuan to death!

Shen Shi.

Downward.

The hundred officials left the palace and returned to the house in a sedan chair.

No one eats at the palace gate, and most of the current officials are in their prime.

The orthodox emperor's methods of boiling the old man are not clever but easy to use, and after less than two years in power, he drove out the old ministers of the court and replaced them with his own team.

Yang Mou, that's probably it.

Su Mingyuan walked out of the palace gate slowly and met Prime Minister Cai Cheng's official sedan chair.

"Master Su, don't blame the official."

Prime Minister Cai Cheng opened the curtain and said: "This official is also for the stability of the country, you have risen too fast in the past few years, press a button to stabilize and steady, it is a good thing for you and the court!" ”

Su Mingyuan glanced at Prime Minister Cai Chengyuan, shook his head and ignored it, and walked home with his hands in his hands.

Prime Minister Cai snorted coldly: "Young man, you don't know how to be an official, how can a lonely minister have any good results!" ”

A moment later

Su Mingyuan walked home, the mansion given by the orthodox emperor, close to the palace, which showed his grace.

When the porter saw Su Mingyuan returning to the house, he hurriedly opened the door to greet him, and on the way to the backyard, there were a few slaves and maids here and there, and the huge mansion seemed empty.

Main Hall.

The table has already set up a meal, a large pot of rice, plus fried bitter bamboo shoots and bitter gourd soup.

Su Mingyuan sat at the table alone to eat, lonely and a little thin, ate all the rice and vegetable soup, and came to the study to write a letter of folding.

"Waste Phase".

……

Following.

The court shook.

The civil official pointed at Su Mingyuan's nose and scolded angrily, what violated the ancestral system, what has been since ancient times, etc., and even several officials stepped forward to beat him.

As a result, Su Mingyuan punched and kicked twice, and the colleague who hit him had a blue nose and swollen face.

Prime Minister Cai was at a loss for a long time, looking at Su Mingyuan's eyes, like looking at a monster.

The orthodox emperor took the fold and looked at Su Mingyuan, who was getting thinner and thinner, and jealousy and jealousy appeared in his heart for the first time.

"The position of prime minister was set up by Taizu, how can it be easily abolished?"

Without waiting for the hundred officials to chant Shengming, the voice changed.

"Feng Su Aiqing is a Fellow of the Auxiliary Political University, Wei Aiqing is a Scholar of the University of Science and Technology, and Liu Aiqing is a Scholar of Wenyuan University...... All four scholars have the right to discuss politics......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

The four newly promoted university scholars stepped forward to thank him, and they didn't look at Prime Minister Cai Cheng, the head of the hundred officials, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the prime minister would completely become an ornament in the future.

……

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The green smoke curls and the warmth melts.

The orthodox emperor was lying on the soft couch, still watching Su Mingyuan's performance.

Reciting repeatedly, I always have new insights.

"According to Su Aiqing's design, the four scholars can only participate in politics, but they do not have the right to approve red resolutions, and the position of the scholar is originally a loose official, and I can be promoted or demoted at any time."

"Since then, there has been no struggle for imperial power, and I have been ......arbitrary."

The orthodox emperor was not only happy, but also a little vigilant.

"There are such wise people in the world!"

Su Mingyuan obviously had this plan for a long time, so he had to wait for Prime Minister Cai Cheng to jump out, and then press him to death with a letter of music, and use the dignified prime minister to kill chickens and monkeys.

Since then, no one in the hundred officials has dared to be an enemy of him.

"What exactly does Su Aiqing want to do?"

The orthodox emperor had a vague guess in his heart, maybe it was related to the field, and the secret report sent by the Zhenfu Division mentioned that Su Mingyuan ordered his officials to investigate the situation of the field.

"It's really a good knife, if you use it well, I can live for eternity......"

Then.

The attendant on duty stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Father-in-law Chu asks to see you." ”

"Xuan."

The orthodox emperor put away the folds and got up and sat upright.

Gonggong Chu entered the hall and kowtowed: "Meet Your Majesty, the matter you asked to investigate already has an eyebrow." ”

"Chu Aiqing, please get up quickly, give me a seat."

After the orthodox emperor ascended the throne, he secretly summoned the Duke of Chu and asked about the details of the millennium insect and Taizu, including the origin of the strange people who besieged and killed Taizu.

In short, the Buddha said greatly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gonggong Chu sat down half-empty: "Sure enough, as Your Majesty expected, Ziyang Zhenren is not only the leader of the Daomen, but also has another layer of secret identity. ”

The orthodox emperor bowed slightly: "Talk about it carefully." ”

With the first emperor's thoughts, he must have suspected Ziyang Zhenren, but he didn't send anyone to investigate.

According to the father-in-law of Chu, since the failure of the siege of Taizu, perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps relieved of life and death, Emperor Jianwu stopped the follow-up plan.

"Back to Your Majesty, Ziyang Zhenren is an elder of the Mending Heaven Sect."

Gonggong Chu said: "The origin of this Mending Heaven Sect is not clear, only that it is not limited to Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Mo, and those who join it are all top masters, and they are contacted by spiritual objects called Mending Heaven Order." ”

"And there is not only one thousand-year-old insect, but it is cultivated and transformed from a 10,000-year-old insect, and it is called a hundred-year-old insect again."

"The minister has already sent secret agents to infiltrate the Ziyang Temple and find out how to join the Heaven Replenishing Sect......"

"Chu Aiqing has worked hard."

The orthodox emperor said: "The matter of the Mending Heaven Sect is slowly investigated, and more importantly, the traces of Taizu, all the secret agents of the Zhenfu Division and the Inner Servant Division are at your disposal." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured."

Gonggong Chu recalled that he had fought with Taizu back then, and his eyes flashed with fierce fighting intent.

"With the proud nature of Taizu, as long as he is alive, he will not leave the capital, or he will return to Beijing after recovering from his injury, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."

"Our family has sprinkled a large number of secret agents to collect information, and any suspicious people in the capital, such as rich businessmen, martial arts geniuses, unmarried and unmarried, temperament changes, strange speech, etc., have been recorded in detail."

"Very good, I'd rather doubt a thousand than miss one!"

The orthodox emperor is not in a hurry now, just let Gonggong Chu investigate slowly.

When the future life is exhausted, you can gamble on luck, even if you lose the bet, it doesn't matter, and the right should be buried for me.
