Chapter 41 The old minister's boldness When will the civil strife stop
In the blink of an eye, spring went to summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and nearly half of the 5 years of Yuankang had passed. On this night, the moon and stars are scarce, and it is the time of the full moon. Wang Huifeng and Jiang Jun had already gone to bed early, and in the past six months or so, although the two of them had also learned some double cultivation methods, their energy had increased several times, and they were far worse than ordinary people, but they were just some methods to strengthen their bodies, and they couldn't be compared with people like Lin Yi and Chen Wu who cultivated truth. Although Lin Yi has not yet reached the realm of Bigu, he can also sleep for several days, and Chen Wu's midnight is the most important moment of his day.
"Your Highness, why is there such a Yaxing today, I also came to the Zhengxin Hall to admire the moon and watch the stars, and also learn from those immortals to suck wind and drink dew!" Chen Wu, who was concentrating on refining the essence of the moon, saw a familiar figure behind him.
This Zhengxin Hall is the tallest building in the center of the East Palace, and it is the residence of the ladies of the East Palace, and the guards of the East Palace rarely come to patrol here, so most of the Chen Dance practices on the top of this hall every night.
"Today, I was meditating in the dormitory, for some reason, I was so nervous that I felt very uneasy, and even my eyelids kept jumping!" Lin Yi said slowly. Only demon cultivation requires devouring the moon essence, so in addition to Lin Yi's dual cultivation method with Chen Wu, he mostly meditates and cultivates in the dormitory every day.
"Your Highness is the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, the future lord of the world, every movement must be related to the fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty, and besides, His Royal Highness has already entered the path of cultivating the truth, and these five senses and six senses are far higher than mortals! Could it be that something bad will happen in this world?" Chen Wu replied.
Lin Yi continued: "Since breaking through to the realm of refining and refining qi, I have been far away from this mortal disease, and this king has also felt that once there is any abnormality in the body, something evil will happen. At the end of last year, I was dizzy and nauseous, and soon Longxi came to report that the Qiang tribe was reversed. At the beginning of the year, I was dizzy and nauseous for many days, it turned out that the king of Liang had quelled the rebellion and was defeated, and that Qi Wannian openly claimed that the emperor had rebelled. Today's dizziness and nausea are far worse than the previous two times, I don't know what is going on in the Dao!"
"After Guangchengjun's death, the gang of the Hou Party disappeared for half a year, and now they are active again, and even more so than in the past, that Jia Mi He De How can he be, this secretary and supervisor has only been in office for two months, and hired his staff gunmen to write a few articles praising merit and virtue, and he was promoted to serve in the middle of the court, and he is in the position of being the chief of the court! Although the ministers of the court and the central government are not convinced, Jia Hou has no choice but to cover the sky with one hand. This omen must be that the party will do something that is not conducive to this king in the future!" Lin Yi sighed again.
**The practice of concubines in previous dynasties was not allowed to discuss the government and politics, but they had a relationship with Lin Yi as a teacher and friend, and Lin Yi consulted with her in his heart.
"This king has already been openly enemies of Empress Jia, and although it is still peaceful on the surface, it is only a brief scene before the storm!" Lin Yi replied. In the past few months, he has done countless things that make Empress Jia dissatisfied, and he has long ceased to be obscure, and the price in exchange is also huge, and the renunciation has long been banned and shut down, but fortunately, he has been prepared, and his property has been secretly transferred out of Luoyang City.
Even Sima Shu's mother, Concubine Xie Jiu, he secretly went to see it several times. It was a poor woman, who missed her son all the time every day and every night, but when his son appeared in front of her, she blasted him away, tears rained down, and her heart was like a drop of wax...... She knew that she was surrounded by Empress Jia's people, and Empress Jia had already strictly ordered their mother and son not to meet, for the sake of his son's good, she had to do this, so Lin Yi had to secretly visit him a few times.
The same woman, the same Sima Shu's mother, how great one is, how dirty and insignificant. I don't know if it's forced by the desire for power? Or is it the nature of people's hearts? Lin Yi doesn't know Lu Dao, and he doesn't want to know Lu Dao, he only knows that Lu Dao Whether he is Lin Yi or Sima Shu, Xie Jiu's mother is his identity.
"Why does Your Highness need to be so trouble-seeking and wasted your mind, with the cultivation of your concubines, even if you don't use the Dao Law, it is easy to take the lives of these mortals, as long as Your Highness nods, the concubines will get rid of these people for Your Highness, so as to prevent future troubles!" Chen Wu swore solemnly.
"Don't be so reckless as Wu'er, this world has its own causes and consequences for drinking and pecking, everything exists for a reason, this king's destiny should have such a catastrophe, although it is a coincidence to enter the immortal path, but it is impossible to destroy the rules with non-human power, besides, the disciples of Yunmeng Mountain in Luoyang City and the power of heaven are guarding this rule!" Lin Yi hurriedly said nervously.
"After this half a year of cultivation, the concubine's cultivation has recovered to the realm of refining and refining qi in its heyday, even if she meets that woman again, she will have the strength to fight, and she doesn't need to use any Dao techniques at all, just ...... That's it," Chen Wu suddenly whispered softly to Lin Yi.
"Wu'er is really profound, but this matter must not be done!" Lin Yi hurriedly stopped, "After all, Queen Jia is the nominal mother of this king, although the people in this world are greedy and insufficient, they are the most respectful and filial, and they are the first of the five Lun, if they are not in the right position, they will be despised by the world." Moreover, this king has already seen through the glory and wealth of this earthly world, and he has long been determined to be here, but if he wants to find that immortal treasure, I am afraid that he must command the dignity of the world, and he can't bear to let the great country of his ancestors fall into the small generation with ghosts in his heart, and the world has only been quiet for twenty or thirty years, and the people have been displaced and fallen into endless wars!"
"Your Highness can have such a heart, the concubine is really honored!" Chen Wu replied gently.
Suddenly, I saw a fire in the north of Luoyang City, and a noisy sound came.
"Quick...... "In the firelight, an old man with half-white hair was directing the firefighting team, if it weren't for the entourage around him, he really wanted to go into battle to fight the fire.
"Lord Zhang, you haven't closed your eyes for almost a night, you better hurry home and rest, there is a humble position, this fire should be extinguished before dawn!" Jia Mo is the nephew of Jia Chong and the brother of Jia Nanfeng, who is serving as the general of the rear army at this time, in charge of the forbidden army in Luoyang City. The general of the rear army was Jia Mi first, and Jia Mi was Jia Mo after he went to his post to mourn, although this position is not high, but the power is very heavy, Jia Nanfeng naturally has to be firmly in the hands of his cronies. Pei Yimin, is Jia Nanfeng's uncle, Pei family is also one of the best wealthy families today, there are many celebrities, at this time he served as the general of the right army, the left servant of Shangshu, and the right side of Gongwei Gyeonggi and the deputy prime minister. Since the Chu King Sima Wei was ambushed, Empress Jia has monopolized the government, and these three people have been assisting Empress Jia for three years.
"Looking at the fire, the arsenal should be about to burn out, even if the fire is extinguished, I am afraid that there will be little left, what face will the old minister face to see the saint tomorrow!" Zhang Hua said bitterly. Not a family, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, as the head of a hundred officials, he knows that this is burned is white silver, it is not an easy task to maintain the operation of such a large state machine, this arsenal is not only a large number of weapons and armor and other military supplies, there are a large number of treasures left by the dynasties since Qin and a large number of treasures obtained by Pingshu and Pingwu, and the savings of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty for thirty or forty years are here, but I am afraid that this fire is only a pile of ashes.
"Lord Zhang, the fire in the arsenal just now is still small, but the people in the capital are panicking, and the signs of civil strife inevitably make people wonder if it is a plan to attack the east and the west, and divert the tiger from the mountain, the lord ordered the guards in the capital to stick to their posts, and the two of us also agreed, so that we missed the best opportunity to put out the fire, and the lord gave up his wealth to protect the society, and I think the emperor and the queen will definitely understand the hardships of the adults! The adults are loyal to their duties, abandon the small and take care of the big, and are not guilty and meritorious!" Pei Yu comforted again.
"Yes, in that case, anyone thinks that there may be another civil strife in the capital!" Zhang Hua said to himself. In the past five or six years since Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, he has seen too many such situations. First, Taifu Yang Jun monopolized the power, and then was exterminated by Jia Hou and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, and Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and the three tribes were exterminated, and thousands of people died in Zhulian, and even the Empress Dowager Yang was demoted to a commoner, and finally starved to death pitifully. In less than a year, Jia Hou and Sima Wei did the co-ruling Sima Liang and the Duke of Weiyang, Wei Qian is a meritorious old minister, with the crusade against Shu Han, sweeping away the border troubles and other merits, and the nine descendants were unjustly killed overnight, which was really shocking to the government and the opposition, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were inevitably saddened. Due to Sima Wei's hesitation, he lost the opportunity, and was executed by Jia Hou on the second day on the charge of forging an edict, and then Jia Hou finally took over the power.
Yang Jun, Sima Liang, Wei Guan, Sima Wei, one after another powerful ministers were executed, and they still succeeded one after another, this son is too fascinating. He has seen too many civil strife, because of his kind personality, he did not offend people, nor did he participate in the dispute between friends, so he survived, and his official position was promoted to Sikong, ranking among the three dukes, becoming the head of the group of officials in the world, and a very popular minister.
He comes from a humble background, loves to read, and is better at recommending talents. In order to buy the hearts of the world's poor people, Empress Jia took a fancy to him as an honest person and would not spoil her business, so she used him so much, and she didn't expect to choose the right person. He forgot to sleep and eat and did his duty, but he was still powerless to change the status quo, and could only watch the country decline day by day.
He thanked Empress Jia for his insight and hard work to serve the country, but Empress Jia was chaotic and the Great Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, and he tried his best to maintain the operation of this empire, but his ability was limited and he felt that it was difficult to support himself. Zhang Hua also tried his best to satirize Empress Jia's fierceness and shamelessness, and he wrote "The Female History", which comprehensively discussed the moral qualities that women should have, and tried to persuade Empress Jia.
He is still trying his best to maintain the daily operation of the dynasty, try not to have big fluctuations, he loves to read, according to historical records, when he moved, the books alone were loaded with 30 times, so that the state revised the official book to Zhang Hua's collection of books to proofread. Therefore, Zhang Hua himself was born in a poor family, so he cherished talents very much, and did his best to promote talented people from poor families or Wushu land, hoping that they could truly contribute to the country. Needless to say, Erlu and Zuo Si, who were promoted by Zhang Hua, and others such as Xue Jian, Ji Zhan, Min Hong, Gu Rong, and He Xun, who were known as the "Five Masters of Southern Soil", were all called "all Nanjin Ye" by Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua called Cheng Gongjian "purified than Yang Ziyun (Yang Xiong, a Chinese scholar), and tacitly recognized Zhang Anshi (Zhang Tang's son, an important minister of the Han Dynasty). For Chen Shou, he was evaluated as "a talent with a good history." Zhang Hua also promoted or introduced Tao Kan, Xianxiu, Liu Hong, Zhang Rail, and Cheng Gongsui, who were born in poor families, as subordinates.
However, it is really difficult to stand alone.
Although Jia Mo also out of the safety of his own family, he repeatedly advised Queen Jia not to go too far, but Jia Mo's shortcomings are also very obvious, his loyal behavior is just to avoid trouble, therefore, he always likes to play some cleverness, and has some enlightenment, always pretending to stay away from this matter, and manipulate in private; for those who are opposed to him, he will do everything possible to frame him; and Pei Wei is also "insatiable." "Too many ideas, never satisfied.
"The discipline is bad, the goods are bribed, the family of the power position, the noble tombs, the loyal and virtuous road, the evil and the will, and the more recommended each other, the world is called the mutual market. "Recently, it has been a bad thing one after another, the front Liang King Sima Wei is not effective in quelling the rebellion, Qi Wannian is the emperor, this arsenal is on fire again, this is a symbol of bad luck, I am afraid that it is not conducive to the prince, and the country will be in chaos.
After the death of Guangchengjun, Empress Jia was even more politically and morally, filthy **, if he kept doing his own thing like this and did not listen to the admonitions, I am afraid that he would be like Yang Jun, Sima Liang, Wei Guan, Sima Wei, these people who play with the government, and they will not die well. He, Jia Mo, Pei Wei and others have long been regarded as Empress Jia's henchmen, and they are afraid that they will not escape death. He is not afraid of this day, he is brave and loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, although it is not a pity to die, he only hates when the civil strife in this world will be over.
