Chapter 257: Dismissal
After three generations of the Son of Heaven, the Great Jin Dynasty can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty, and it reached its prosperity in the Taikang Dynasty, and now it is no matter what it is, you can find the crux of the problem in the capital.
For example, the complicated situation in the southwest today is because of the tough measures taken by several auxiliary ministers of the court, especially the several assistants led by Shen Kuan in Shangshutai, towards the southwest.
This has a strong ideological conflict with the new emperor who has not yet officially become pro-government.
For example, this time he sent Ye Xuan out of Beijing to serve as the general of Hanzhong, which was strongly opposed by the Son of Heaven, and he knew very well that this move was likely to further anger his teacher who was far away in Yongzhou, causing the situation to deteriorate even more.
However, two of the three auxiliary ministers made this decision, and the Son of Heaven had no right to veto it, so Ye Lan was still forced to leave Beijing.
Before parting, the Son of Heaven specially summoned Ye Lu into the palace and asked him to go to Yongzhou to meet Li Xin before going to Hanzhong, and persuade Li Xin to "calm down".
That's why Ye Lan rushed to Yongzhou to see Li Xin.
Ye Lan and Li Xin said that the Son of Heaven wanted to govern in advance, but Li Xin didn't pay much attention to it, only said that he wanted the Son of Heaven to wait for a year with peace of mind, but in fact, the Son of Heaven couldn't wait so long.
The fourteen-year-old Son of Heaven knew very well that once Hanzhong and the southwest really fought, not to mention the victory or defeat of both sides, the imperial court and the southwest would be completely on opposite sides from then on, and there was a reason for the thunder, and it was almost impossible for the imperial court to bulldoze the southwest in a short period of time like Taikang had done for three years.
At that time, the southwest mud foot is deep, and the Yuwen Ministry in the north is growing rapidly, under the control of the north and the south, the national situation of the Great Jin Dynasty will take a sharp turn, and two generations or even one generation will have big problems.
That's why he wanted Ye Lan to invite Li Xin back to Beijing, with Li Xin in the capital, the Son of Heaven was in power, because there was such a military boss standing behind him, and with the support of the Ye family, no one in the capital would have a crooked mind.
But Li Xin refused to return to Beijing.
After Ye Lan left Yongzhou, he sent a letter to the capital with an expedited 600 li, and sent Li Xin's reply to the table of the Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace.
The young Son of Heaven held this letter in his hand and was in a daze for a long time.
It was a long time before he muttered to himself.
"Wait another year, and it will be out of control......"
He took a deep breath, stood up from the side of the table, and said to the palace people on the side, "Go and call Xiao Zheng over." ”
Xiao Zheng, as the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, is not working in the Weiyang Palace all day long, he needs to deal with things in the inner chamberlain, but the inner chamberlain is not far from the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, and he is almost on call.
Soon, Xiao Zheng knelt in front of the Son of Heaven.
"What is Your Majesty calling slaves and maids?"
Yuan Zhao Tianzi glanced at Xiao Zheng, and then slowly exhaled: "Gonggong Xiao, you should have been in charge of the inner prison for more than ten years, right?" ”
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has been in charge of the inner prison for three years in Taikang, and it has been more than seven years now. ”
When Taikang was three years old, the former great eunuch Chen Ju stepped down, and Xiao Zhengcai officially took over as the inner eunuch.
The Son of Heaven frowned and asked, "Can the inner guard be in my hands?" ”
Xiao Zheng immediately lowered his head and threw himself to the ground.
"Of course, in the hands of His Majesty, the three guards in the capital are all the wings of the Son of Heaven!"
The internal guard is under the control of the internal guard supervisor, but the internal guard supervisor is controlled by the internal guard supervisor, and the eunuch of the internal guard supervisor is still one of Xiao Zheng's godsons.
The Son of Heaven asked Xiao Zheng this sentence to affirm that the internal guard was in his hands.
After being silent for a while, Yuan Zhao Tianzi spoke: "Xiao Zheng, you listen well. ”
"From now on, Tianmu Prison will make every effort to search for Shen Kuan, Yan Shou, and the crimes of the Shangshutai Ministers, and in ten days at most, I will see it in Weiyang Palace."
As an official in the court, no matter who it is, few butts are clean, after all, if everyone is greedy, even if you are not greedy, it is a sin.
People like Shen Kuan and Yan Shouchuang, who can climb to such a high height, will be more or less unclean on their buttocks, Tianmu Prison is responsible for supervising the world, and most of the officials in the capital have case records in Tianmu Prison.
Yuan Zhao Tianzi said coldly: "If you can't trace the guilt, check what ugly things they have to say, and after finding out, send them all to me." ”
"Besides, go to the capital to find an official to fill the vacancy, send it to the Yushi Terrace, and I will use him in a few days."
Xiao Zheng has been floating in the court for so many years, after hearing these words, he naturally understood what the Son of Heaven was going to do, he sighed, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the government is in the hands of those people, if you act rashly, it may be risky, and besides, it is only more than a year, Your Majesty does not need to be in a hurry......"
Yuan Zhao Tianzi was silent for a while, glancing at Xiao Zheng.
"I've figured it out, let you do things, you just do it."
Xiao Zheng sighed helplessly, turned around and went down to make arrangements.
If the emperor wants to remove the prime minister, he naturally has to collect the sins of these prime ministers, otherwise there is no way to stop, even the emperor of Taikang is not good to dismiss the prime minister for no reason, let alone a son of heaven who has not yet been in power.
But it is risky to dismiss the prime minister, although he ascended the throne, but the foundation of the maternal family is too shallow, Li Xin is not in the capital, and there are no important ministers with cronies around him, so rashly doing something to a few Zaifu may cause problems.
Xiao Zheng sighed and muttered to himself.
"The three Praetorian Guards are all in the hands of His Majesty, and the Forbidden Army and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should also be on His Majesty's side, as long as they hold these, there should be no problems......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at the direction of Shangshutai with some concern.
Those who can stand out among the many scholars and climb to that position may not be clear when it comes to marching and fighting or the general trend of the world, but when it comes to fighting for power and intrigue, those people in Shangshutai are all at the level of ancestors!
A fourteen-year-old son of heaven can really fight them?
However, despite thinking so in his heart, he couldn't help but do what the emperor confessed, so he still asked people to call the two godsons of Tianmu Prison and the Inner Guard Prison to the Inner Guard.
A struggle for core power is quietly happening.
On one side is the fourteen-year-old Son of Heaven, and on the other side are several old men who are more than two hundred years old together.
In this way, after four or five days, the atmosphere in Shangshutai was finally a little abnormal, but still no one dared to speak.
The sun set, and several Zaifu in Shangshutai also put down the brush in their hands, stretched their waists, and prepared to go home from work.
Zuo Xiang Shen Kuan was the last to get up, and when he walked to the door of Shangshutai, he looked left and right, and asked with a smile: "Who is on duty in Shangshutai today?" ”
The servant in the house got up slightly and said, "It's the old man on duty." ”
Shen Kuan's eyes blinked, and he said with a smile: "There is a brother here, tomorrow I will be much brisker, a few days ago, a certain brother was on duty here, I heard that I slept all night, and the next morning there was a bunch of things, which made me and the other four busy." ”
The new Zhongshu made his face look embarrassed.
"It's been a long time in the past, Shen Xiang just let me go."
Everyone laughed and walked out of Shangshutai together.
When he arrived at the door of Shangshutai, Shen Kuan's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "I heard that Yan Sikong has a birthday today, and he is an official in the same dynasty, how about I go to Yan Sikong's house to congratulate him on his birthday?" ”
The three Zaifu glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads slightly to Shen Kuan.
"Naturally, I'm going."
