Chapter 305 ┮ Staggering

The previous document said that Zhao Zhen, the fourth emperor Renzong, was clever enough to question the eight kings, but he was trapped in the Southern Qing Palace. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the Eight Kings locked him up in anger and imprisoned him in the secret room of the Nanqing Palace!

If he really locks people up, the Eight Kings will be ruthless, and it will be too late if nothing happens at this time! He is not willing to repeat the mistakes of King Xiangyang.

So the eight kings first asked people to enter the palace to send a letter: saying that His Majesty had a whim, remembered his childhood, and wanted to go back to the Nanqing Palace to live for a few days. The transcripts of these days were all forwarded to the Nanqing Palace. Wait until the day of the next big court meeting, and naturally turn back to the palace.

This reason is actually reasonable, everyone knows Zhao Zhen's origin. didn't doubt it, but Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan felt that this matter was not in accordance with the rules of the process, and wrote a few words of advice, but no one really competed with the emperor because of this.

There are still seven days left before the next court meeting, so he has freed up seven days of effort for the eight kings. The Eight Kings first urgently recruited their subordinates into Beijing, and then notified all the hidden lines that had been planted. In the end, the eight kings were still not at ease, so they personally wrote a letter and called the monk Fahui, asking him to go to the Shaolin Temple in Luoyang and hand it over to Ouyang Zhonghui, who had turned the tide and looked at the ten directions, and asked him to bring the Shaolin master to help. Then he instructed Fa Hui to bring all the masters he could call within seven days.

Everything was ready to stop, and the eight kings waited for the great court meeting in seven days. The book is short, and seven days go by in a flash. It was the day of the great court meeting, on this day, the eighth prince had already changed the crown belt of the court clothes, and arrived at the Zichen Hall with a tile-faced gold mace in his hand. At this time, there was still everyone in the Zichen Palace, and he stood under the throne alone, closing his eyes and waiting for the ministers to arrive.

That is, for half an hour, the ministers entered the main hall in twos and threes, and stood left and right with civil and military forces. But everyone wondered why the Eighth Prince came here today, and he came so early. The key is the place where the Eight Kings stood, the place where the decree was announced on weekdays! It seems that something big must have happened in today's Great Dynasty Meeting!

Those who can sneak into this hall in the officialdom are all top-notch. Everyone knew that there must be something going on today, but no one dared to ask more, so they all waited for the court meeting to start looking at it again.

After a while, several prime ministers also came, and the one who walked in front was Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan, and the back were the privy envoy Wen Yanbo and Kaifeng Mansion Yin Baozheng. When the three of them came in to see this scene, they were also stunned and looked at each other. But they didn't squeak, and they each entered the court and stood up.

Later, there were several generals who came in, led by Hu Yanqing, the loyal and brave king, followed by Di Qing, the deputy privy envoy of the general, and Yang Wenguang, the deputy commander of the forbidden army. The three of them also looked at each other, Hu Yanqing frowned, and didn't dare to speak. The three were also placed in the pilgrimage.

And behold, the people were all together, and the hour had come. A eunuch had already stepped forward and shouted: "The ministers kneel down and greet the holy driver!"

The cultural relics below knelt down and shouted three times long live, but there was no movement for a long time after shouting, and the emperor did not come out. Just when the ministers were puzzled, the eighth king suddenly stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is not in good health, and now he is cultivating in the Nanqing Palace, and he cannot attend the court meeting. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, all the ministers talked about it. They all knew about the emperor's visit to the Nanqing Palace in the past seven days, but they didn't expect that they didn't even come to the court meeting, which was something that had never happened before!

Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan asked on the spot: "Wang is a thousand years old, what kind of illness is Your Majesty contracted and you can't attend the court meeting? Why don't you let Your Majesty return to the palace to recuperate, how can there be any reason to stay in the Nanqing Palace?"

The eighth king glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Prime Minister don't worry, Your Majesty is suddenly infected with a vicious disease, and the imperial doctor has diagnosed and treated him and said that it is not suitable to move." Therefore, now the Nanqing Palace is recuperating. ”

"In that case, I'm going to visit Your Majesty in the Nanqing Palace!" Fan Zhongyan stepped forward and said.

The eight kings smiled and said: "When the prime minister of the dynasty goes to visit His Majesty, this is the right thing, after the dynasty is dispersed, the king will lead the prime ministers and generals to go, and the rest of the ministers will wait for the news." ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard that the eight kings allowed the prime minister to visit the emperor, he dispelled his suspicions and returned to the court. When the eight kings came to the door, they turned pale and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, here is His Majesty's holy decree, please listen to it." ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. I only heard the eight kings personally shake off the holy decree and read: "Your Majesty has a decree: I am infected with a bad disease, my spirit is withered, and the council is difficult." This is the time of endangerment, and the Eighth Emperor Uncle is tentatively appointed to act as the government. Hou Zhen is healthy, thank you!"

This decree is also reasonable, and the current Emperor Renzong has no heirs and no prince, so it is only right that the matter of supervising the regent of the country should be handed over to the eight kings! Only then did the eighth king say: "During the reign of this king, I hope that all the ministers will help a lot." As he spoke, he gave a salute to the ministers, and the ministers returned the salute.

Then the eight kings took out another holy decree and said: "This is the second decree of Your Majesty, and the ministers will accept it!"

The ministers knelt down one after another, only to hear the eight kings read: "Your Majesty has a decree: I pay in the palace of the Southern Qing Dynasty, think about it in my spare time, and intuitively feel that there are many mistakes in the first 20 years of governance, and only then do I go to the northern Liao, the Western Xia is powerful, the people are poor, and the court officials are redundant. After thinking about it, Gayin is not a lady in employing people, and the generations of the temple are out of virtue, so there is today's trend. Therefore, during the period of the Eight Kings supervising the country, the personnel will be transferred!"

Speaking of which, the following is already a whispered discussion, as soon as it is said that the personnel will be transferred, the ministers know that someone must be unlucky!

The Eight Kings continued: "Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan, in the name of the New Deal, disregarded ethics and set cholera rules. The change of the government system caused chaos in the hearts of the officials and the people. Collude with friends and form a party to change the chaos of the dynasty. Therefore, if Fan Zhongyan is transferred to the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong in Shaanxi, he can leave Beijing! Wen Yanbo joins Fan Zhongyan's party and is transferred to the envoy of the three cities of Heyang, so that he can leave Beijing! Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Du Yan, and so on are all members of Fan's party, and Fu Bi is the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and Ouyang Xiu is the commander of Yiling County......"

As soon as these words of the Eight Kings came out, the audience was shocked! With just these few words, almost all the civil leaders in the court have now been demoted! Such a major personnel replacement has shaken the government and the opposition.

Unexpectedly, the eight kings didn't finish speaking: "Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, selfless with an iron face, honest and capable, and the emperor's brother of me." Bao Zhengsheng Zhongshu under the door of the Ping Zhang, for the prime minister. went to Kaifeng Mansion Yin and was replaced by Yan Chasan. In addition, the general Hu Yanqing, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, Yang Wenguang, the deputy commander, and the general Di Qing had nothing to do with Fan Yi's party! Yang Wenguang will be promoted to the general of the Beishu Guard Battalion, and he will be able to leave Beijing!

This decree caused a big stir in an instant, and I didn't expect it to make such a big fuss! Although it was said that Fan Zhongyan and others had a conflict with the courtiers because of the "Qingli New Deal," they were so suddenly denounced one after another, and it also caught people off guard.

Fan Zhongyan and the others also listened to it straightly, why didn't they expect that the emperor would be degraded as soon as he dropped his will! Only Bao Zheng, who had been promoted, stepped forward and asked: "Eight kings and thousands of years old, this holy decree is very involved, and His Majesty was seriously ill when he issued it, should it be put on hold for the time being, and wait for His Majesty to be healthy and make a decision?"

After Bao Gong said this, the ministers below all responded and said: "What Lord Bao said is polite, I hope that the eighth king Chitose will turn to Your Majesty!"

But unexpectedly, the eight kings' faces sank: "Shut up! This is Your Majesty's will, do you want to resist the decree?" and shouted outside: "Come on, bring all the people who say the holy decree out of the main hall!"

As soon as the words fell, he rushed into a sentry forbidden army from the outside, and he wanted to arrest Fan Zhongyan and others. At this time, Hu Yanqing shouted: "I think who dares to take people casually?"

After all, he has been in charge of the army for many years, and Hu Yanqing's voice made the forbidden army who came in dare not move. Looking at Hu Yanqing again, he took a few steps forward and asked: "Wang Jia Chitose, I want to ask, what does this holy decree mean? I will just demote the official to the people? Your Majesty is sick and confused, how can I suddenly make this decree? I am not uncommon to this official position, but once the three of us leave at the same time, it will easily cause civil strife in the army, and I am afraid that it will be out of control at that time." Please also ask the prince to take me to meet Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't want to use me, we are leaving one by one, so as not to cause any turmoil!"

The Eight Kings sneered: "King Zhongyong, you are too worried, Your Majesty has already arranged a candidate to replace you, as for the face saint." It's not your turn, come on! Wait for a bunch of people and drag them out of the hall!"

The eighth king ordered for the second time, and the forbidden troops rushed up one after another, and they were going to drag Fan Zhongyan and others away. When Hu Yanqing heard this, he shouted: "Who dares! We don't see Your Majesty, we won't leave!"

"I can't help you!" Before Hu Yanqing's words fell, he heard a person dressed as a forbidden army general outside the hall come in and grabbed him by the shoulder. Hu Yanqing hurriedly raised his palm and slapped the person who came. Unexpectedly, Hu Yanqing, who was slapped with this palm, took seven or eight steps back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Fortunately, Hu Yanqing has a solid foundation, although he suffered internal injuries, he still stands, and when he looked up, three words were squeezed out of his teeth: "Bai Yunrui ......"

Bao Gong also saw Bai Yunrui, frowned and looked at him, and then looked at the Eight Kings. The Eight Kings nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yun Rui came at the right time to drag all the people mentioned in the holy decree out of the main hall!"

Bai Yunrui nodded, and dragged Fan Zhongyan and the others out with someone. Di Qing and Yang Wenguang next to him were both experts, and when they saw Hu Yanqing, Bai Yunrui vomited blood with one move. I knew that I was much worse. didn't dare to resist, and left the Zichen Palace.

At this time, Bao Gong looked at the eight kings above, only felt unusually strange, and stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The king is a thousand years old, and the minister wants to go to the Nanqing Palace to visit His Majesty, I wonder if the king can agree?"

The eighth king smiled slightly and said: "Why not, when the court is dispersed, this king will take Lord Bao to go." ”

After the Eight Kings finished speaking, they began to distribute officials in the name of the regent of the prison state, and inserted their own people into the power vacuum left by Fan Zhongyan and them. In just one morning, more than half of the entire imperial court fell into the control of the Eight Kings.

When the court meeting was dispersed, the eighth king smiled at Bao Zheng and said, "Then please ask Lord Bao to go back to the palace with this king." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, followed the eight kings out of the palace, and the eight kings also called the new Kaifeng Mansion Yin Yan Chasan, and went to the Nanqing Palace together.

Along the way, Bao Gong was in a state of flux, constantly thinking about the things of this morning, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more I think about it, the more terrible the conclusions I draw. If this morning's events are really the emperor's will, it can only be said that the emperor is mediocre. But if it wasn't the emperor's will, but the idea of the eight kings, it would be terrible. First, he let Bai Yunrui lead the 2,000 forbidden troops directly under him to take over the palace, and then the core officials loyal to the emperor were belittled at the imperial meeting. The Kaifeng Mansion, which he had real power and military power, was taken away and replaced with a flat chapter that was erected. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that something is really going to happen!

When Bao Zheng thought of this, he kept an eye on it, and quickly ordered his subordinates to stop the sedan chair, and then instructed Bao Xing in his ear to let him leave quickly! Only then did people ask the eight kings in front of him to stop the sedan chair.

When the eighth king saw that Bao Zheng had stopped the sedan chair, he also hurriedly stopped. Bao Zheng personally got off the sedan chair, walked to the front of the sedan chair of the eight kings and said: "The king is a thousand years old, it may be that the minister is old, and he has been in poor health recently, and he suddenly feels distended and painful in his abdomen at this time." Such an image to meet the driving saint is not appropriate after all. It's better for the minister to go back and change his clothes, and it's not too late to come back when the time is right!"

When the Eight Kings heard this, they smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then ask Master Bao to go back." I would like Your Majesty to make it clear that Lord Bao has a loyal heart. ”

Bao Zheng hurriedly bid farewell to the eight kings, returned to his sedan chair, and returned home with people. Next to him, Yan Chasan came over at this time, stopped in front of the sedan chair of the Eight Kings, and sneered: "I, the teacher, react really fast." ”

The eighth king also sneered: "Then bother you to send someone to watch him, don't let him spoil the king's affairs." ”

"Don't worry, I will take a good look at him!" Yan Chasan smiled coldly and nodded.

If you want to know what will happen next, let's see the next time.
