Chapter 267: Huo Guang's Story
At present, the power of Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who has not yet been in power, is extremely limited, and it is basically impossible to give a few ministers from the court to punish them, and it is unlikely that they will take off their positions as auxiliary ministers.
Now if you want to solve this dilemma, in fact, it is not difficult, the three guards in the capital are in the hands of the emperor, Jin Wuwei and Jingzhao Mansion and the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division and other yamen do not dare to oppose the imperial power for the time being, at this time, as long as the little emperor is willing to make up his mind, he will kill a few Zaifu directly, and then use the three guards to arrest all the troublemakers, one is counted as one, and all of them are killed on the spot, under this kind of high pressure, basically no one dares to mess around again.
But when the time comes, the son of heaven will mess with his mother, and the reputation of tyranny and murder will also spread, he is only fourteen years old, there are many brothers, and most of his uncles and uncles are still alive.
To put it bluntly, the power of his maternal clan, the Shanyin Xie Clan, is too small, if it weren't for the people who Taikang Tianzi intended to promote the Xie family in the last few years, Yuan Zhao Tianzi would have almost no available people under his hands now, and in this case, he couldn't afford to kill so many people.
In fact, even if Li Xin returns to Beijing and wants to stabilize the situation, this is almost all he can do, but Li Xin can bear it, but the little emperor cannot.
After the Great Dynasty Meeting, Xiao Zheng asked people to clean up a palace with books in the imperial city, and invited all the several Zaifu who were originally locked in Shangshutai to enter, and forbade anyone to visit.
At the same time, Yuan Zhao Tianzi summoned Kong Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after receiving the support of the Ministry of Rites, he sent Yu Linwei to disperse the Taimiao students, and posted a notice that if there were any more troublesome students, they would be removed from their fame and their status as students.
Most of the people who can go to school in Taixue are talents or people, and fame is their dead end, and after the notice was posted, these Taixue students immediately died down and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
But gossip in the dark is still inevitable.
In this way, the young Yuan Zhao Tianzi confronted the courtiers.
And the letter that Yuan Zhao Tianzi asked Xiao Zheng to send to Li Xin was also sent to Yongzhou in six hundred miles.
Yongzhou is almost more than 2,400 miles away from the imperial court, 600 miles of expedited post envoys for one person and three horses, passing by the post station to change horses or people, day and night, a day can run almost five or six hundred miles, to the fourth day, a dusty Beijing post envoy to see come to Yongzhou City, he did not enter the city, but towards the direction of Qiyang County galloped away.
When it was almost dusk in the afternoon, the messenger came to the door of Li's house at the foot of Qishan, turned over and dismounted, and knocked on the door.
"Six hundred miles in the capital is urgent!"
The messenger's voice was a little hoarse, and after shouting a few times in a row, finally a porter came to open the door, and after asking about the intention, the porter did not let him in, but just took the letter from the capital from his hand, turned around and found Li Xin, who was holding the grill under the backyard pavilion with his wife and children, and bent down respectfully: "Master Hou, the capital is six hundred miles and sent over." ”
Li Xin turned the mutton skewers that had been grilled to a golden brown in his hand, handed them to his eldest daughter, and said with a smile: "Come, Ah Han, this can be eaten." ”
Xiao Ah Han inherited her mother's foodie attributes, and when she heard this, she immediately took it and smiled sweetly at Li Xin: "Thank you, Daddy." ”
The ninth princess glanced at Li Xin blankly, as if complaining about his partiality.
Li Xin wiped the grease stains on his hands with a handkerchief, turned around and took the letter, and asked lightly, "Who sent it?" ”
There are not many people who are qualified to use 600 miles to send letters in an expedited manner, because running 600 miles a day hurts people and horses, and there are often cases of running dead horses.
The porter of the Li Mansion, who is also the general of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "That person said that it should have been sent from the palace." ”
Li Xin was interested, and after opening the envelope, he took out three pages of stationery from it, and after he half-squinted his eyes, he read the three sheets of paper from front to back, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Okay, I was still thinking about how to stabilize the situation in the southwest two days ago, and only a few days later, the capital gave me such a big surprise."
Li Houye folded the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, and said with a smile: "People say that Xiucai rebelled, and it won't work out in three years, but I didn't expect that these big-headed scholars are not generals, but they want to do Huo Guang's story." ”
After hearing Li Xin's words, the ninth princess also put down the mutton skewers in her hand and glanced at Li Xin curiously: "Who is Huo Guang?" ”
"What's going on in the capital?"
Li Xin stuffed the letter into his sleeve and smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone doesn't want your eldest nephew to be the emperor." ”
The Ninth Princess's expression changed slightly.
When she was thirteen or fourteen years old and had not left the palace, she often played in the Wei Palace, Yuan Zhao Tianzi was born and grew up by her, and there was no difference between her own son, the relationship between the two people was very good, these years Yuan Zhao Tianzi lived in Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and the ninth princess often took him to play together, but after becoming the emperor, the two slowly became a little lighter.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's not clear."
The Marquis of Jing'an sat down again, calmly picked up the brush, and smeared the sauce on the meat skewers.
"Maybe they made up a story to trick me into going back to Beijing."
The Ninth Princess also wiped her hands, stretched out her hand and said, "Show me." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an happily handed this letter to the ninth princess, she only read it once, then angrily threw the letter aside, and said angrily: "It's a shame that these people are still prime ministers, and they wronged the emperor and his mother for no reason, and if it is spread, his reputation in this life will be ruined!" ”
The Marquis of Jing'an bent down, picked up a few letters that were fluttering in the wind, stuffed them back into the envelope, and said with a smile: "Where is the reputation of bad people so simple, if what the letter says is true, they obviously want to abolish the emperor!" ”
"The first emperor has a total of eight sons, there are more than a dozen brothers, and there are many children of the clan, once your eldest nephew loses his morality, I don't know how many people will stare intently at this position, the forces behind these people are complicated, and if it goes on like this, a Shanyin Xie clan may not be able to hold the throne."
"Mess with the mother with the son, mess with the mother with the son......"
The Marquis of Jing'an pondered for a while, and sighed: "It's still these scholars who are vicious and can think of this kind of crime that is so dirty that they can't get rid of it." ”
The Ninth Princess got up from the side of the grill, pulled Li Xin to the side, and asked a little nervously: "Chang'an, if you go back to Beijing, can you help the emperor?" ”
Li Houye squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Most of the time, when it comes to carrying the black pot, I am the most experienced husband."
The Ninth Princess took a deep breath and asked softly, "Then do you want to go back?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet."
The Marquis of Jing'an said indifferently: "First of all, I want to confirm whether this matter is true, I can't be coaxed back to the capital by someone else's letter, and then I have to think about it carefully, I can't just rush back." ”
He lowered his head and groaned for a while, then looked up at the Ninth Princess, and said in a deep voice: "I may have to go to Jincheng in the next few days, and Mrs. will take Ah Han and Ping'er at home." ”
The ninth princess glanced at her husband with a somewhat complicated face, and sighed softly.
"After all, the emperor is the ...... I grew up watching"
"He's still young, he's not the opponent of those old men, Chang'an, you... No matter what, let him survive......"
