Chapter 578 Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance
Following Yu Shi Yang Jia's impassioned words citing scriptures, the officials who were struggling to excuse Gao Qi just now were already sweating, and regretted their impulsiveness just now more and more.
But the words have already been out, it is unrealistic to want to be a fart and let everyone ignore it. There is no room for you to quarrel in the court, and you can only bite to death. There is no shortage of Gao Qi.
It’s just that they still haven’t figured out the true meaning behind this matter. Now is not the time when the political situation was unstable in the first year of Hongwu and the people of the world were not attached. They came to win fame for the way of keeping filial piety in the Yuan Dynasty, not just to be exiled to Mobei.
The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall gradually became stalemate, but the emperor still did not express his position, and the same was true of several senior officials in the court, as if they were listening to the holy order.
After an hour, the morning court ended, and all the civil and military officials walked towards Fengtianmen in groups. There was no chatting and laughing in the weekdays, and everyone frowned and remained silent.
They were arguing endlessly, but the Holy One just said that he had dispatched the supervisory censor to conduct a thorough investigation, and we would discuss the matter after a conclusion was reached.
After the Fengtianmen officials felt their tense heartstrings loosen a little, they bid farewell to each other and walked towards their respective government offices. Anyway, they had to continue to do what they should do, and the serious errands were delayed. Then I won't go around with you, and I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life.
Wu Xun watched the bustle, laughed and played around, that is, Xu Da came back, otherwise he would have been unable to help making fun of them. The happiest thing in life is watching the Holy Spirit train these noble and proud literati.
Xu Da frowned, looked back and reprimanded a few words, Wu Xun was able to take charge of all of them outside the guard, and most of those who stayed in the capital were either idiots or reckless men. temperament.
They didn't understand the situation, they thought it was the time of conquering the world, and they thought that the Holy One was the commander who was the leader in loyalty back then, and they didn't think about the current situation caused by some literati complaining.
In the future, if they really want to liquidate what Wu Xun has done overtly and secretly in the past few years, it will be such a huge commotion. Laughing at others now, at that time they will push you to the grave with their own hands.
Hearing Xu Da's scolding of a group of big and three thick men, he slumped his head, and inexplicably missed the free life when several generals were ordered to go out in the past. It's great.
Not to mention the military heroes, some officials from the Eastern Palace have their eyes on Chen Youzong, the Tongzheng envoy. If you ask the most well-informed person in this world, the pro-military Duwei’s Mansion will be the first, and then the Tongzheng envoy.
The news about the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion is only qualified to intervene with the Crown Prince, other than the Holy One. If they dare to inquire, they may not see the sun of tomorrow. The next best thing is Chen Youzong, the envoy.
This group of people is not considered to be a high-ranking person in the court. They are basically officials of the Prince Zhan Shifu in the past. Cancel.
Many people were sent to other places to become officials, but they were lucky enough to stay in the capital and scattered among the Zhongshu Province and the six yamen. Although the Zhan Shifu is no longer there, the imprint of the prince on them will last forever , so he still regards himself as a disciple of the Eastern Palace on weekdays.
"Chen Tongzheng stays behind, I'll ask for advice later."
Chen Youzong actually didn't want to pay attention to them, because he was in a bad mood right now. He pleaded for Wei Guan in front of the prince yesterday. He thought it was just a conflict between the local government and the guard, but he didn't expect it to develop. to today's situation.
It was a waste of his usual care and prudence, but he didn't realize that there was such a big involvement behind this matter. What Chen Youzong was worried about now was whether His Highness the Crown Prince said something to Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others in front of the Holy Majesty yesterday because of his request, which offended the Holy Majesty.
Although father and son are deeply in love nowadays, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reached a young age after all. After all, the father and son of the Tian family are unusual. There are no shortage of examples in history where the emperor doted on the Crown Prince, but those were all when he was young.
Chen Youzong sighed, turned around and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for advice, just speak up if you have any questions."
Those people bowed before them. Although they all belonged to the Eastern Palace sect, Chen Youzong was not comparable to them in terms of rank in the court or influence in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
After a few people greeted each other, they continued to walk towards the Tongzhengshi Yamen tacitly. The Tongzhengshisi belonged to the back, so it was a little far away from the Zhongshu Provincial Sixth Department and other Yamen, so it was naturally very secluded.
Wait until there were no one around, one of them whispered: "Chen Tongzheng is well informed, and he went to the palace to meet His Highness yesterday, so what advice do you have for today's matter?"
One person beside Zhou also hurriedly said: "Don't dare to lie to Chen Tongzheng. My younger brother had made friends with Gao Jidi, Wang Changzong and others through poetry and articles in the early years. I knew that these two people could not have the intention of treason, so I just excused them in the court meeting."
"The same is true for lower officials. Brother Gao has frequent contacts when he was in Beijing. Although this person is aloof and upright, he should never be a conspiracy..."
Several people around Zhou also probably said the same thing. Since its establishment, Zhan Shifu has been the emperor's official office to reserve talents for the prince. Most of the members are young scholars.
Young scholars are naturally willing to pursue Gao Qi who is famous all over the world. They were the ones who were most angry just now.
At this time, the cold wind blew my head sober, and I came back to ask Chen Youzong to point out the way. This is also the courage brought by the backer. Are they so afraid to make a mistake?
Chen Youzong suddenly felt that it was a good decision for His Royal Highness to disband Zhan Shifu. Although it showed that there were a lot of party members on the surface, it also saved a lot of trouble. affected.
Seeing that there were no other people around, Chen Youzong suddenly stopped and looked at them solemnly, and said word by word: "This matter ends here, no matter whether someone asks you to sign a joint letter or other things, you can no longer participate in it. The correspondence with Gao Qi and others should be privately burned as soon as possible!"
The faces of the few people who were still chattering turned pale, and the leader immediately responded after recovering: "I will definitely follow Chen Tongzheng's wishes, but I dare to ask the truth about this matter? Gao Jidi is as famous as Bo Song Longmen with sincerity Everyone."
Chen Youzong said indifferently: "Yang Mengzai, together with Gao Jidi and others, were hailed as the Four Masters of Wuzhong in the past, and they were also famous all over the world. But last year, he was punished for dereliction of duty and died in a labor camp. Did the heavens and earth collapse at that time? "
Chen Youzong watched several people leave in panic. It is better to wait and see if the situation is not clear now, if it is something else, it is fine, but there is obviously a sage behind this matter.
Chen Youzong looked towards the south with his hands behind his back. His Majesty could have directly ordered Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others to be arrested in Beijing for review, but he deliberately shelved it to let the matter spread to the world. up.
At this time, there were officials from various yamen in central Beijing whispering to each other. Some were afraid and some were still aggrieved. In the afternoon, I don’t know how many letters were scattered from central Beijing to relatives and friends, and the contents were different.
The father and son in Jinshen Hall had just finished their lunch, and it was a little late today, and Zhu Biao had been standing for a long time and felt hungry, so he passed the meal ahead of time. Seeing this, Lao Zhu simply ate with his son.
"Biaoer, what did you see this morning?"
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Yesterday, my minister felt that something was wrong. Wei Guan's case is clear at a glance. Whether it is the father or the minister who wrote a letter to Cai Ben, it will be resolved. Why send a supervisory censor?" Toss and turn, it turns out that Emperor Father is Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Peigong."
"Hahaha, our Hongmen banquet will not be merciful and let the tiger go back to the mountain. Those people think that if they just come to Beijing to fool us for two years, they can resign and return to their hometown to continue to live a leisurely life. They will write poems to ridicule us when they have nothing to do. How can there be such a thing in this world? Waiting for something good?"
