Chapter 199: Poisoning
Three days later, in the morning.
As usual, the civil and military officials walked in the square in front of the Jinluan Palace, greeting each other, talking to each other, and talking about current affairs or their own affairs.
It's just that this atmosphere is much more dignified, in the end, they are all people of officialdom, well-informed, and good at capturing and watching the direction of the wind, and they have noticed the change in the situation before the start of this court meeting.
Today's Da Rui, on the surface, seems to open up the territory, all countries come to the dynasty, it can be described as a moment, the people of the time have already said "Zhongxing", which can be regarded as a qualitative for Li Kun, but in fact, under this prosperous surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent, several major power groups are dumping each other, and the hostility between each other is so strong that passers-by can hear it.
It's just that with the emperor seriously ill, even several court meetings ended in a hurry halfway through, so that the participants realized that the emperor's limit was approaching, and they all automatically thought about it, which made the power of the entire court change.
The most direct point is that the old party and the conservative faction that were originally suppressed have shown signs of revival again, and the new party has been beaten by the emperor from time to time in recent times, and the expansion of its power has also stagnated and even shrunk.
And Meng Qingbin and other centrist factions were already difficult to stand alone at this time, and they began to be suppressed by both sides, but this kind of suppression was not to make enemies, but to force him to stand in line.
Seeing that, all parties focused their eyes, just waiting for one thing to happen, and then the situation changed.
But in this storm, there is a mainstay figure in the middle, whether it is the new party or the old party, he cannot be bypassed, this person is Qiu Yan.
Compared with the new party, the contradiction between Qiu Yan and the old party has gradually intensified, mainly because the old party wanted to subdue him before, and the new party also has resistance to Qiu Yan's ideas. At the same time, because the new party and new learning are circulating, it happens to conflict with the development of the way of knowledge and action, and from this perspective, the new party is also not Qiu Yan's ally.
"I heard that today, Xu Xiang and others may be in trouble. ”
"Whether or not you can make a difficult move is still secondary, but the emperor's body is the key, I heard that three days ago, the emperor fainted again. ”
"Because of the emperor's dragon body, this early dynasty has not been opened for a long time. Even if it is opened, it will end in a hurry, and I don't know if it will have a special intention if it will be held today. ”
"It's better for us to wait and see what happens, and when the situation is clear, we can decide how to act. ”
"That's right, I heard that the new party is also faintly going to take action, and I don't know what resolution will come out......
......
This remark shows that this court meeting is unusual. But the hundred officials who realized this tried their best to suppress the thoughts in their hearts and entered the temple as usual.
The scenery on the Golden Luang Hall is still the same, but the atmosphere is very different from before. When the Northern Expedition was won and the White Lotus was pacified, the court and the court, both the main and the main battle, were full of spirit and honor.
But now. But everyone kept his word and said not much.
Unlike the normal process, after the hundred officials are in place. After a long time, the emperor came out, walked slowly, walked to the dragon chair, and had to be supported by others before he could sit down.
Baiguan was not surprised by this, the news that the emperor was seriously ill and dying was not a secret at all, at the beginning, in order to keep the government stable, Li Kun also had the heart to conceal it, forcibly endured the ice bucket, pretended to be nothing, and sat on the dragon chair.
It's just that his pale face at that time still made the ministers muttered to themselves, and not long after, at the court meeting again, Li Kun fell into a coma in public, and the news that he was seriously ill was finally exposed, and he still couldn't hold the fire.
The subsequent early dynasties became no longer fixed, intermittent, but as the emperor's condition deteriorated, some things that were originally under the table gradually floated to the table, accumulating pressure, like a brief calm before a storm.
After some effort, Li Kun sat on the dragon chair, raised his eyes, and noticed the strange atmosphere on the Jinluan Palace, but he didn't say anything, just asked: "Due to my illness, I haven't sat in the court for some days, but the political affairs of the country and the dynasty have not been chaotic, thanks to the merits of the Zhu Qing family." ”
When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to take credit, and deduced that it was Li Kun's fortune and good fortune, benefiting the world, and asking him to take care of the dragon's body and get healthy as soon as possible.
Li Kun didn't say much, just smiled, knowing that they were all polite words, and then asked, "Does the Zhongqing family have something to play?"
With his current physical state, it is not suitable to sit in one place for a long time, and these ministers also know it, so they don't drag the mud and water, and a few ministers came out to talk about the general situation, and some military generals came out to talk about the matter of quelling the rebellion.
"You are a thief who is a thief and intends to accept Zhao'an, but there are still some conditions. ”
This is also the news that the army has just gotten, and it stands to reason that it will be handed over to the military department, but now that the army is outside, the news of the soldiers will naturally circulate, and it cannot be regarded as exceeding its authority.
"In this way, the thieves of Tiangang are willing to accept Zhao'an?" Li Kun was also surprised when he heard it, "This is a good thing, now that the four sides are peaceful, it is the time of stability, when the people should be peaceful, but these anti-thieves went against the sky, took the opportunity to raise the anti-flag, and disturbed the safety of the community, but if the reason accepted the imperial court's recruitment, this disaster will be immediately calmed down." ”
Li Kun said a few words, but his spirit seemed good, maybe it was a good relationship with this news.
With Li Kun's height and vision, he naturally knows that the sudden advance of Da Rui can be said to be different from the past, although the matter of changing the law has not yet ended, and it has also aroused the signs of party strife, which is not conducive to future generations, but for the time being, the dividends of this change are constantly emerging, and there is Qiu Yan's military reform, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved.
The successive victories of the four-sided battles are a kind of uplifting and washing for the spirit of the whole country, which can be said to be the real Zhongxing world, in this situation, but also to raise the anti-flag, in fact, it is afraid that there will be no chance in the future, but Da Rui has become a general trend, and the thief army such as the Gang Di Gang will have the appearance of a mantis arm blocking the car, and it is only a matter of time before he is pacified, but it is still a good choice to solve it before he is alive, and it can increase his merits by a few points-
The more time comes to this, people's needs for other aspects continue to decrease, but the pursuit of posthumous fame becomes much stronger.
However, this strong thought did not affect Li Kun's judgment and observation, he noticed that the military general who reported the news was a little wrong in his demeanor, so he understood a little, and then asked: "But what else do those thieves want?"
"Emperor Shengming," the military general praised, and then said, "The thieves attacked the city a few days ago, but as soon as the new army arrived, they were immediately defeated and retreated, and then they tore off their disguises and used the people along the way as shields. ”
"Take the people as a coercion?" Li Kun's eyes flashed a little cold, and then nodded, "In this way, the thieves also know that the general trend has gone, this is the people who are holding me hostage, and if they want to threaten me, what conditions do they have?"
The military general continued: "The thief's request is to be exempted from past crimes, and then the imperial court will send a weighty minister over to negotiate with them, otherwise it will not be enough to win people's trust, and they also have a request for the minister's candidate, saying that it is to let ......."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor.
"How dare these thieves make so many demands!" Li Kun showed a hint of anger, "Could it be that they think that I will give them what they want? Could it be that they don't know the current state of my Da Rui? Could it be that the imperial court will rebel like that thief?"
Today's Li Kun, although he is a heavy soldier, and even his life is short, but he has been sitting on the dragon chair for so many years, nourishing his energy, and now he has many merits to support his personality, so angry, the whole hall feels a thunderous formation-
This also has the role of the luck of the dynasty and the dragon qi of the imperial city.
"Your Majesty Xià ......" At this time, Xu Yingyi, who was in the forefront of the hundred officials, suddenly came out of the ranks, "The minister heard that the new army killed too heavily in Qilu and almost did not accept prisoners, so it forced the thieves to be soldiers, and it was inevitable to be suspicious. ”
His voice fell, and Cai Que came out and said: "Your Majesty, if there is peace everywhere today, the prosperity of the world looms, but there are still scattered thieves in this land of Qilu and Hebei, which has affected the people of the place and damaged the name of the saint. ”
Cai Que's words deducted the word "name", which naturally captured the emperor's current thoughts.
Li Kun is certainly gaining momentum, but what he is asking for now is nothing more than the name of a Shengming Monarch, hearing this, although the anger in his heart has not stopped, he can continue to listen.
"Did the thief say that he wanted some minister to pass? If he could really avoid a military disaster, it would be a good talk. Having said that, there was not much joy on Li Kun's face.
The military general always paid attention to Li Kun's gaze, and when he saw the emperor looking at it again, he immediately continued: "The candidate for the minister proposed by the thief is the Marquis of Dingguo. ”
"Qiu Qing?"
Li Kun was stunned when he heard this.
Many people in the Manchu Dynasty also showed surprise, and then looked towards where Qiu Yan was.
"That's right," the military general spit out his name, and didn't look at Qiu Yan, but lowered his head and continued, "The thief said that he admired the articles and military exploits of the Marquis of Dingguo, and he trusted the Marquis of Dingguo, except for him, everyone else was not at ease, so there was this discussion!"
As soon as these words came out, many civil and military officials in this hall were moved in their hearts, and they secretly said that they were powerful.
"Good guy, this trick is really vicious! This is to roast Qiu Yan on the fire, and he chose such a time......" Thinking like this, the eyes of the hundred officials scanned back and forth between Qiu Yan and Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, guessing the deep meaning inside.
It was Qiu Yan who was the person concerned, but he stood in place without saying a word, as if it was none of his business. (To be continued......)
