Chapter 1285 Qin Lang crushes the emperor with an iron fist
Luoyang Palace.
The emperor held court meetings in the Guanwen Hall next to the Zhenguan Hall.
In Beijing, all the officials of the third rank and above were ordered to come, and the officials of the fifth rank and above of several yamen, such as the Yushitai Transit Department, were also called to the court for a meeting.
Qin Lang came all the way, with countless eyes on him.
It seems to be watching a monster rampant in the palace.
Qin Lang could feel that this kind of gaze was completely different from the situation when he was appointed as the head and assistant Gu Ming not long ago, and it was also different from the time when the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
At that time, everyone looked at him eagerly, with respect and even admiration, wanting to get close.
But now those gazes are a kind of respectful distance, even isolation.
Qin Lang knew that at this time, he must have been labeled as a powerful minister, and he really looked like a powerful minister now.
Giving praise and worshiping without a name, entering the court without going, and walking on the sword in the palace.
Worship the Grand Master, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Shangzhu Kingdom.
Ping Zhangjun State Affairs.
Conferred the title of Duke Wei!
Not to mention that one person still has two feudal territories, one is the governor of Wu'an in the inner world, and the other is the governor of Luzon in the outer world.
Qin Lang named Wei County King and Lu Song County Duke,
The eldest son of the direct line is named the prince of Weijun, and the second son of the direct line is named the Duke of Wei,
The eldest son of the concubine was named Duke of Wu'an County, the second son of the concubine was named Duke of Wuyi County, the third son of the concubine was named Duke of Wuning County, the fourth son of the concubine was named Duke of Wuping County, the fifth son of the concubine was named Duke of Wucheng County, the sixth son of the concubine was named Duke of Wulong County, the seventh son of the concubine was named Duke of Wuding County ····
Qin Lang has twenty-one sons, and now there is one prince, one prince, and seven county princes.
Among them, the newly named Duke Wei is only half a year old.
Not to mention that among Qin Lang's brothers, there is one Duke of Qi, two Dukes of County, and four Dukes of County.
Two younger sisters entered the palace together, one was the imperial concubine and the other was Zhaoyi.
Many people directly regarded Qin Lang as Cao Cao.
His gaze was no longer filled with admiration and envy, but dissatisfaction and hostility.
Qin Lang didn't say hello to everyone either, he knew that others might not respond to greetings at this time, and even the old father-in-law's eldest Sun Wuji was full of hostility towards him now.
Only Xu Jingzong and Cui Dunli, the two gentlemen, still greeted him because of their close relationship.
All of these are naturally written by the new emperor Li Yin. He has to admire that this guy is very skilled in this method.
It seems that the regent of the country has indeed learned a lot according to his temperament in these years.
When the officials arrived, there were actually more than a hundred people.
Zi Fei, who is full of palaces, is very popular and purple, showing her identity incomparably.
But today the first assistant Qin Lang was sitting there, but there seemed to be a vacuum around him.
Qin Lang glanced at Qin Xun, this newly promoted Guangluqing, who was bestowed with purple, looked too young among these Zifei bosses, especially his somewhat dull appearance, which made him even more at a loss, He wanted to follow behind his uncle Cui Dunli.
But Cui Dunli is Zuo Pushe and the prime minister, so there is no place for him beside him. He looked at his elder brother Qin Lang, and saw that Qin Lang didn't pay any attention to him. He seemed to be able to see that Qin Lang didn't seem to be liked by everyone today, so he hesitated After a while, he didn't even come to say hello, and finally retreated to stand in the corner of the hall entrance. He wanted to say hello to the officials next to him, but even the fourth-rank servant in the provincial department and the fifth-rank Zhongshusheren Officials in scarlet robes, such as Shizhong, Secretary Lang, Zuoshucheng, Dianzhongcheng, and Prince Xima, were unwilling to talk to him.
Now everyone is scolding Qin Lang in his heart for being a traitor, and scolding the Qin family for being a chicken and dog ascending to heaven. They all want to resist and even prepare to impeach and attack Qin Lang. Who wants to deal with this incompetent, but he has become a third-rank Guanglu in his twenties? Your Duke of Qi?
Qin Xun bumped into walls everywhere, and finally had to stand alone in the corner, his eyes full of bewilderment.
My Qin family is so powerful and powerful, why is my new third-rank Guangluqing ignored? Shouldn't it be that the stars hold the moon and everyone compliments it?
The atmosphere in the hall was very strange.
But Qin Lang just sat there on his knees, looking at his nose and his heart. The other prime ministers also had serious faces. Although everyone whispered to each other, they didn't dare to make any noise.
And when the censor in the palace shouted for silence, everyone knew that the emperor was coming.
Sure enough, when the hall quieted down, the servants quickly cleared the way to welcome the young and heroic emperor, who was dressed in ocher robes, which was relatively simple.
He has a majestic face, but he is a little limping when he walks.
The emperor sat down.
Then, after sweeping his eyes across the courtiers in the hall, he spoke slowly.
"Give me a seat for the Taishi and Taifu."
The servant quickly moved over to sit on the couch. Although the couch is not too big, it is still a seat. Compared to kneeling directly on the futon in the palace, it certainly shows the emperor's respect for the elders.
The emperor gave seats to several other prime ministers, and the seats were slightly lower.
Qin Lang found out from the corner of his eyes that since the emperor entered the palace, many officials were eager to try, and seemed to be ready to impeach Qin Lang for usurping power.
He is not in a hurry.
Today's scene, no matter how you look at it, is a big drama, and the emperor has already laid the groundwork for a long time, so there is some drama today, so there is no rush.
As long as Qin Lang acts according to the script, there will be no surprises.
Although the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, he was so eager to persecute the elder Gu Ming, which seemed mean and heartless, but Qin Lang was still willing to cooperate with the performance.
In fact, he had no intention of staying.
The emperor coughed and interrupted some people.
The emperor was the first to speak, planning to go into battle shirtless.
"Concubine Su is stubborn and resentful. She has violated the teaching order several times. She can't follow her son and train the elders in different rooms. If you see eagles and falcons in the palace, you don't have the virtue of "Guan Ju", but you have the style of Lu and Huo. How can you trust them?" As a young orphan, I respectfully inherit and sacrifice to the Ming Dynasty."
"Qin Guifei's meritorious concubine belongs to her good family. She should be enshrined in the ancestral temple and be the mother of the world."
······
After listening to the emperor's words, the whole hall was shocked.
Changsun Wuji was even shaking with anger, because this matter is too important. After all, no matter what, the former emperor had just passed away for less than a month, and he had not yet been buried at this time. The emperor suddenly wanted to depose Yuan's wife and make Qin Guifei his empress, which was a bit out of the ordinary.
Not following the rules, not respecting etiquette.
Sure enough, the courtiers in the palace who were already eager to try were now even more agitated, eager to pounce on Qin Lang.
Qin Lang sat there, secretly admiring Li Yin, this kind of thing would end in person naked, enough hard work, why can't he arrange for someone to come forward?
If you make a suggestion casually, you can also bring this matter to the court for discussion, and the effect will not be the same when you point it at Qin Lang.
In the past, there was an emperor who did not communicate with the officials in the political affairs hall, and directly asked Baima, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to confer the title of King of Qinlang County, and also sent a Duke of the country and a Guangluqing.
Here, he will immediately abolish his wife and establish a concubine, and make Qin Langmei the queen.
As for the reason, the emperor said that the Su family was stubborn and resentful, and even said that the Su family had no offspring, and could not raise the princes well, and even attributed the reported epidemic situation to the Su family's lack of virtue and anger.
Blame her, blame her, blame her.
Qin Lang couldn't bear to listen to such scumbag-like language.
Although it is a fact that the Su family has no birth, and it is also a fact that Dr. Li died because of not raising him well, but you can blame them all for these.
But before anyone could stand up, Qin Lang stood up first.
Qin Lang's righteous and verbal objection.
"I object!"
After stating the reasons for his objection with a black face, Qin Lang immediately took out another resignation letter from his sleeve.
Qin Lang wants to resign the state title of Pingzhang Army, which is to resign from the Prime Minister.
Even the mountain ceremonial envoy resigned at the palace. The reason is that only the prime minister can be the mountain ceremonial envoy.
Qin Lang didn't wait for anyone to impeach him, but first stood up and asked for his resignation, which was also a delicate timing.
Because by convention, if a censor doctor impeaches the prime minister, then the prime minister has to take the initiative to resign and accept the investigation. This system was originally intended to supervise the prime minister who is the head of the officials. The Yushi doctor is the dean of the Yushitai. Better performance of supervisory functions.
However, in order to avoid the abuse of the power of impeachment, the regulations were later standardized. Only when the censor personally impeaches the prime minister, the prime minister needs to take the initiative to resign. Generally, it is not necessary to impeach the censor.
Qin Lang resigned without waiting for the Yushi doctor to impeach him. Of course, he is very clear about the procedures and methods.
Resigning yourself is not the same as being impeached and resigning. Resigning after being impeached means that you are suspended from your job for investigation and awaiting the results.
And resign by yourself, of course, is different.
It is very important that you have the initiative.
In addition to resigning, Qin Lang also resigned from the title of the county king he had just been granted, and by the way, the titles of his sons also resigned.
Qin Lang is interested in the feudal territory, as for the vain Sanjue, it doesn't matter whether he wants it or not. Keeping it at this time will only make the Qin family a target of public criticism.
By the way, he also asked Qin Xun to resign from his position as Guangluqing.
This made Qin Xun who was standing behind very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After Qin Lang finished speaking, he handed in his resignation.
Then without waiting for the emperor's words, he directly took off the moral crown in the hall, untied the gold fish amulet, and even left the jade wat behind, then bowed and retreated.
This move is even more unexpected.
The ministers who originally wanted to impeach Qin Lang didn't know how to speak for a while.
After all, you said that Qin Lang took over the power, but he firmly opposed making his younger sister the empress, and firmly supported the Su family. There was nothing wrong with it, and she should be the empress.
His own lord refused to accept it, and even the prime minister had to resign. In addition to the many important and part-time jobs he resigned earlier, Qin Lang, the chief assistant appointed by the late emperor's edict, would not retain a single official position. Such a naked resignation It's really unexpected, can you still say that someone is a traitor and a powerful minister?
After Qin Lang left the Guanwen Hall, he went directly to his private room in the Zhongshu Neixing Zhengshitang, packed up a few personal belongings, and left the palace to go home.
Qin Lang resigned naked, and without waiting for the emperor's approval, he had already resigned from all errands.
The court discussion that day was also full of twists and turns. No one expected that the emperor would personally tear up the first wife from the very beginning, and wanted to abolish the Su family and make the Qin family his queen. But what was even more unexpected was that everyone thought that Qin Lang and the emperor had one heart , it may even be that Qin Lang tricked the emperor into making his younger sister his queen.
But who would have thought that Qin Lang was the one who opposed the most fiercely, and directly came to the Golden Palace to take off his crown and hang his seal.
So of course the imperial censor can no longer impeach Qin Lang, even if Qin Lang asks you to resign to impeach him, not only will he not show his ability, but it will appear that he has no political literacy.
If the censor is not in charge, the other censors will have little weight.
After Qin Lang left, everyone focused on the emperor.
Changsun Wuji even took the lead in tearing it apart personally, resolutely opposing the emperor's behavior of abandoning his wife from beginning to end. Become the crown prince.
Everyone opposed it like a chicken blood.
Chu Suiliang even rolled up his sleeves to go into battle, moving out how the emperor got divorced when he was the prince, how he was reprimanded by the first emperor, and how the prince repented and promised to wait for old things.
There was no room for it, Li Yin was sitting there with an uncertain expression.
Originally, he planned today's court meeting for a long time to set fire to Qin Lang, and finally forced him to leave the court. But in the current situation, Qin Lang patted his **** and left happily, but it seemed that he was also in trouble.
As soon as Qin Lang left, Changsun Wuji became the most prestigious Gu Ming elder in the palace, and Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, etc. followed Changsun Wuji, unceremoniously giving force to the random behavior of the new emperor. rebuttal.
Li Yin never imagined that the court meeting prepared for Qin Lang turned out to be a meeting of ministers led by his uncle Changsun Wuji to criticize the emperor.
The meeting lasted for two full hours.
Li Yin's face was blacked out.
In the end, he had no choice but to take back what he said at the beginning, and stopped his intention to make Concubine Qin the empress, and also retracted his intention to abolish the Su family. Not to mention who is going to be the crown prince.
Of course, Li Yin is not the kind of emperor who takes things arbitrarily.
Before the end of the court meeting, he ordered Qin Lang, the mountain ceremonial envoy, to **** the late emperor's coffin to Chang'an Zhaoling for burial, and he was fully responsible for the matter. Then he added a word to Qin Lang's title of prime minister, "Eitai Shi", Pingzhang's military affairs are important, there is no need to go to the capital, the imperial court's military affairs are important, the emperor sent envoys to ask for advice.
Everyone understands the meaning of this, but Qin Lang has actually ceased to be a prime minister.
If you don’t enter the capital, you are naturally not the real prime minister, and you can’t make decisions about state affairs. Even if the emperor said that there was an important matter and sent someone to ask for advice, it was just a nice name.
At this time, old Yin people like Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that they seemed to have been shot by the emperor just now. Maybe the emperor didn't want to keep Qin Lang in the court at the beginning, but just played hard to catch.
And these self-proclaimed veterans were easily deceived by the emperor. Changsun Wuji secretly reflected, maybe they despised the emperor too much, so they didn't expect the emperor to do this at all. If you are facing the first emperor, then you will definitely not make a judgment lightly, and you will definitely have to think twice before making a conclusion.
At this time, Changsun Wuji even began to regret that he had cooperated with the emperor to drive Qin Lang out of the court. This was not a good thing, Qin Lang had always been his staunch political ally.
"Change the title of Qin Lang to be the King of Luzon, and the Luzon Governor's Mansion is promoted to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."
The emperor played a flower gun again, the king of Weijun was changed to the king of Lusong, and the title was changed, but the king of Weijun belonged to the second rank in the official nine-rank system of the imperial court, but the king of Lusong was classified as a vassal by him In this way, the king of Lusong County is actually on the same level as King Linyi, King Silla, King Supi, King Wa, King Khitan, and King Xi.
This can not only avoid the rule that different surnames are not allowed to be kings, but it also blocks the possibility of Qin Lang returning to the court to be a chancellor in the future.
After all, the king cannot be a prime minister!
Changsun Wuji frowned, watching the emperor shake up his sleeves and leave with a slight limp.
All the officials in the hall respectfully sent the emperor away, feeling at a loss.
who I am?
where am I?
What am I doing?
What just happened?
