Scroll B: Morning Dew Waiting for the Sunrise Section 17 Stormy Rain
"Qi Yongtai has entered Beijing?" The elderly man leaning on the dragon bed had a layer of gloom between his eyebrows, and the attendant next to him saw that he wanted to get up, and hurriedly came up to help, but he threw him away, "I'm not old enough to be helped!" ”
"Yes, back to the emperor, Qi Yongtai has almost never been in the capital in recent years, although Qingtan Academy is only one or twenty miles away from the city, but he has never entered Beijing, so the old minister will know about this situation at the first time." The old man beside the hall lowered his hands and eyebrows, his tone was a little low, and his back was a little hunched, but the fierce color between his eyebrows did not diminish at all.
"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop." After a long time, the old man in the yellow robe who sat up said lightly, "It's only been less than two years, and many people are still thinking about it." ”
The sturdy old man didn't talk to him, and it wasn't his turn to talk about it.
"Did Mr. Longjiang ever know?" The yellow-robed old man asked suddenly.
"I'm afraid I don't know yet, Qi Yongtai entered the city that night, and he didn't live in a hostel, but in the old mansion of Qi Shijiao." Mr. Long Jiang is the current first assistant Shen Zheng, who has been the first assistant for six years, and will continue to serve as the first assistant after the new emperor succeeds him.
The yellow-robed old man smiled coldly, "When did Qi Yongtai and Qi Shijiao get together again?" What about Ye Xianggao? What about Fang Congzhe? ”
The sturdy old man didn't answer.
With a leisurely sigh, the yellow-robed old man's gaze withdrew from the window, "It seems that the emperor's mind is erratic, which makes many people have ideas in their hearts." ”
"Emperor, the emperor is still very diligent, and he doesn't sleep until he is a child,...... he reviews and recites every day."
"Hehe, when the emperor is not diligent, why is it inappropriate?" The old man in the yellow robe sneered softly, "He is a person who is logically very thoughtful, but I am afraid that there was no one around him, and now that he is the emperor, many people will rush up, and they will not be able to see the situation clearly,.......
"What about Xiao Daheng and Wang Ziteng?" The yellow-robed old man asked suddenly.
"Xiao Shangshu has been in poor health during this time and has been recuperating at home, but Wang Shilang has been there, but the affairs of the Beijing camp are busy, and he is mainly in the Beijing camp,......" The sturdy old man hesitated.
"Tycoon Xiao is not in good health? Then how did I hear that he was still lavish on the side of the Criminal Department, and he personally interrogated a few cases? The cold gaze of the yellow-robed old man came over, making the strong old man's body can't help but shrink.
"I'm afraid you don't want to get involved in the troubled waters of the military department, right?" The yellow-robed old man's tone became soft and cold.
"The left waiter on the side of the criminal department has not made up for a long time, and the right waiter and Dali Temple are in charge of the backlog of cases before the year, and they have entered a critical stage, and they can't leave people, so Lord Xiao is also ......"
The old man in the yellow robe suddenly interrupted the conversation, "Gu Yu, do you also want to help these people cover in front of me, can you fool me?" These civil officials are all steerers who see the wind, how many loyal and patriotic hearts do they have? Don't look at their posture in front of me in the past, when it really comes to the joints, they are just riding on the wall and watching the wind,......"
The elderly man who was called Gu Yu was also a little gloomy.
Of course, he knew that the old man's words were to the point, but this was since the Great Zhou, no, it should be the usual pattern since the Tang and Song dynasties, ruling the world with scholars!
These scholars and civil officials inherently feel that they are superior, and this world is not a royal family, but should be governed with the scholars, if they do not govern with them, and usurp their rights, it is against the way of heaven, and the heavens and men will be punished by the heavens, and all the disasters and omen in the world are caused by the sins of your emperor alone.
Seeing that the old man was silent, the old man in the yellow robe shook his head, he also knew that the current situation was like this, it was not caused by himself, but time had changed, and now he felt that there was a trick here.
"Then Qi Yongtai entered Beijing, but he was invited?" The yellow-robed old man retracted his gaze, "Have you ever seen anyone other than Qi Shijiao?" ”
"According to the minister's understanding, Qi Yongtai has also met Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao." After a pause, it seemed that he was a little hesitant, and finally the sturdy old man replied with his head down.
"Oh? Qi Yongtai met the two of them? The expression on the face of the old man in the yellow robe became a little subtle, these two are both elders, and Ye Xianggao is still the second assistant, but Fang Congzhe's reputation is not small, he once served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, once Shen has always stepped down as the first assistant in the future, these two may be the most popular candidates to take over the first assistant, but now Shen has always been unwilling to give office.
"Can this matter be related to the emperor?" The yellow-robed old man's face finally turned cold, and he also stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
"I haven't found it." Shaking his head, Gu Cheng didn't dare to say anything on this issue.
As the commander of the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant, he seems to be bedridden for most of the past half a year, but in fact, he has not let go of the real power of the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, Lu Song is not an idle person, but his decades of precipitation in the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant are not something he can easily replace.
He also couldn't figure out what Emperor Taishang was thinking now.
At the beginning, the Emperor Taishang wanted to hand over the throne to the current emperor, and the Zhongxiao King of the day, he once reminded the Emperor Taishang to be cautious.
This is a move to shake the country's foundation, and the slightest careless change will lead to a catastrophe, even if the emperor wants to do this, he will also take great risks, especially because of some reasons that cannot be spoken to outsiders, and it is even more difficult to convince the civil service system.
It's just that the crown prince, that is, the current Prince Yizhong, broke the heart of the emperor back then, and made the emperor angry, although he did not directly imprison the prince, but there is no possibility of ascending the throne again.
In the end, although the Emperor Taishang successfully resolved this crisis by virtue of his 40 years of prestige and made King Zhongxiao become the emperor today, it also made the civil officials extremely dissatisfied with the Emperor Taishang, which in turn affected the difficulty of many governance measures in the later period.
Since the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety has ascended the throne as the emperor, everything has passed, and the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety can win the favor of the Emperor among the kings, and naturally he has some ability, once he ascends the throne, it will be a foregone conclusion, which he was sure of at the time, but he never thought that the Emperor Taishang would have some regrets, but he didn't want to think about it, how can there be room for regret in such things? If you don't get it right, it's another catastrophe.
It's just that he is also aware of the character of the Emperor Taishang, he has served for decades, if he has saved a certain number of years, it will be really difficult for him to change his wishes, but now in such a situation, even if the Emperor Taishang has some ideas, it is difficult to have many opportunities now, and he can only increase his troubles.
"Qi Yongtai has a stubborn personality, and it is difficult to turn back the things he identified, and the old man ......in the yellow robe also regretted a little, thinking that if he hadn't had a dispute with Qi Yongtai and his group on the matter of abolishing the prince, Qi Yongtai and the others would not have finally resigned, but now it is too late to regret it, but I don't know what this person is thinking now.
Gu Cheng was silent, he couldn't put his beak in such a thing, and the matter had been a foregone conclusion for three years, and it would be useless to regret it again.
"That's too ...... Boss, have you ever ......" The old man in the yellow robe suddenly turned his head.
"Back to the emperor, Prince Yizhong stayed at home, there is nothing abnormal, but ......" Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment before he said: "But the king of Dong'an County and the king of Xining County went to Prince Yizhong's mansion the day before yesterday to celebrate Prince Yizhong's birthday. ”
"Oh?" The old man in the yellow robe changed slightly, and he was silent, "What about the water dissolution?" ”
"I haven't been." Gu Cheng took a deep breath, "A few days ago, King Beijing went to Tiewang Mountain for a safari, and he returned on the fifth day, and the Duke of Zhenguo and Duke Liguo returned from the north and south at this time,......
The old man in the yellow robe was indifferent, Gu Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and snorted: "......, Prince Yizhong's son also went north to ......."
The fierce gaze of the yellow-robed old man fell on Gu Cheng's face, and he didn't move for a long time, Gu Cheng's eyes flickered.
"Where's Wang Ziteng?"
"Wang Shilang inspected Xuanda and did not return." Gu Cheng hurriedly said.
"Then did the fourth child know all this?" The old man in the yellow robe said gloomily.
"The emperor is afraid that he has already known that Lu Song is acting very steadily, but the emperor has not said anything, and King Shou also went to the palace of Yizhong to pay homage to Shou,......" Gu Cheng wanted to speak again.
King Shou is the eldest son of the current emperor.
The old man in the yellow robe couldn't help but smile at himself, raised his head, looked at the dome of the main hall, seemed to be recalling something, and his face was complicated, "The fourth one didn't move?" Hehe, the fourth child is doing it for me to see, what a brother and brother. ”
The hall was silent, and the dark shadows in the darkness were like a giant beast accompanied by flickering candles, as if it was about to choose people to devour.
"Gu Yu, what do you say I should do?" The yellow-robed old man's tone was full of gloom.
