Chapter 261: The Strength of Civil Officials
The Great Jin Dynasty is the orthodox Central Plains Dynasty, and there is no precedent for taking the mother from the son, but there is a Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and there are many emperors who occupy the father's concubines, and even one was made a queen!
Because the Northern Zhou Dynasty was too powerful back then, these stories were once circulated in the Great Jin Dynasty as romantic affairs.
Therefore, this eighteen-year-old Chu Guiren listened to the words of others and secretly entered Weiyang Palace.
She was a fourteen-year-old draft girl who entered the palace, and after entering the palace, she only served the emperor once, and was named a six-grade nobleman, and threw it in the inconspicuous Yuxiu Palace in the harem at will, and has been waiting for the second luck of the Taikang Emperor.
Who knew that she didn't wait for the blessing of Taikang Tianzi, but waited for the death of Taikang Tianzi, so that she became a widow at the age of seventeen.
A woman of this age is naturally restless, but her future has come to an end with the death of Taikang Tianzi, if nothing else, she can only stay in Yuxiu Palace for the rest of her life, being a nobleman of the former dynasty that no one cares about, and she will never see any light in her life.
But a few days ago, someone ran to Yuxiu Palace and told her that today's new son of heaven fell in love with her at first sight.
The woman who served the emperor for two generations in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was later named the empress, the story is still circulating in the Great Jin Dynasty, and this temptation is in front of her, and no girl can refuse.
Even if she can't be a queen and be an ordinary concubine, it's better than being a widow in Yuxiu Palace for a lifetime, she is only eighteen years old, and she still has a long life.
Therefore, she came bravely.
But now, the face of the big eunuch standing in front of her was already surprisingly unexpected.
Chu Guiren was also stunned, she didn't have any city mansion in the first place, and she was stunned at a loss.
At this time, Yuan Zhao Tianzi was still in a daze, and Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner eunuch, had already reacted, stepped forward to pick up a candlestick, and walked directly to the side of the Chu nobleman, he made a decisive move, and smashed it directly towards the back of the nobleman's head!
Immediately blood flowed.
The girl didn't even hum, she was so soft that she fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Several Zaifu's faces changed suddenly, and they all stood up and shouted angrily: "Grandpa Xiao, what are you doing!" ”
Xiao Zheng's face was gloomy, he slowly turned his head to look at a few Zaifu, and bowed his head slightly: "Everyone, Fang is our family who admits a mistake, this person should be a palace maid in Yuxiu Palace, I don't know why I ran to Weiyang Palace, our family is in charge of the forbidden palace, and Shicai is just exercising the rules of the palace, which makes several ministers laugh." ”
Shen Kuan's face darkened, he stepped forward, and shouted angrily: "When such a thing happened in the palace, Gonggong Xiao, as a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, not only did not admonish him, but instead killed people in front of us, and he didn't take us in his eyes at all!" ”
He was awe-inspiring and shouted: "Since Gonggong Xiao wants to destroy the evidence, why don't you kill a few of us together, today's matter will be clean, and no outsiders will know about it again!" ”
It is naturally impossible to kill the prime minister, these people are not just the prime ministers who are officials in the court, they are the core figures of interest groups behind them, and some of them are also great masters in the literary world, and there is no problem in dismissing them from office for legitimate reasons, or even raiding their homes and destroying their homes, but they can't die in vain.
In the palace today, it is not only the Zai Fu of Shangshutai, but also the two auxiliary ministers of Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo, once something happens to them, the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty will immediately be in chaos, and the situation will only become more serious at that time.
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to several Zaifu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our family's handling of the affairs in the palace does not seem to have touched the law of the country, but it has been violated, at most, our family's life is worth her life."
This great eunuch, who is very well-behaved in front of anyone, was surprisingly tough this time, he took a deep breath, and said: "You are all ministers who govern the country, and you have just one life, and you will be handed over to the three law divisions to investigate and handle it, and there is no need for a few ministers to ask in person." ”
Yan Shouzhuo took a step forward, looked at the Chu nobleman who fell to the ground, and then looked at Xiao Zheng who was blocking in front of the Son of Heaven, and said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Xiao, whether this person is a Chu nobleman or not, you have always seen it with our own eyes, I and several others are people who have been officials in the court for decades, and I and Shen Xiang are auxiliary ministers appointed by the first emperor, you intend to destroy the evidence in front of us, where will the law of the Great Jin Dynasty be placed?" ”
"If there is no explanation for today's matter, we will wait for the officials, just don't do it!"
He is in charge of the imperial stage, and he is in charge of idle affairs on weekdays, not to mention that this matter is no longer an idle matter, he opened his mouth and shouted: "This official doesn't believe it, you are a eunuch, can you still reverse black and white, and refer to the deer as a horse?" ”
At this time, Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who was standing behind Xiao Zheng, finally reacted, this young Tianzi's face was flushed with anger, he pushed Xiao Zheng away, and looked at these auxiliary ministers viciously.
"I never knew that there was such a Chu nobleman in my palace, and today several Zaifu arrived together, and this Chu nobleman ran out inexplicably, but it was really a coincidence!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned.
In terms of political things, even if you know something, you can't say it directly, and you have to leave some room for compromise for yourself, for example, in the current situation, you can completely compromise with a few Zaifu and pay some price to suppress this matter.
But as soon as the Son of Heaven said this, there was no room for compromise.
Shen Kuan held the court wat in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we are all foreign ministers, and we can be said to know nothing about the affairs in the palace. ”
He looked left and right at several other people, and continued to bow his head and said: "Today, I came together, and the original intention was not to come to find any Chu nobles, but to persuade Your Majesty to cultivate yourself and cultivate virtue. ”
"The ministers admonish the king, and the duty is also, this is the holy precept of Emperor Wu, Your Majesty has not yet been in power, will you rebel against Emperor Wu?"
This era pays attention to dignity and order, that is to say, there is no way for you to directly say that the Son of Heaven is never wrong, so when the civil officials are on the line with the emperor, they will talk about God and their ancestors.
God, that is, the Son of Heaven is immoral, and the sky is angry.
As for the ancestors, it is even simpler, they will memorize the "quotations" of the previous emperors, and then either pinch the head and remove the tail, or abandon the background and use it separately, so that the interpretation of these "quotations" is in the hands of their civil officials.
A word of "filial piety" and a word of "virtue" can suppress the emperor and cannot move.
What's more, the current Yuan Zhao Tianzi has not yet been in power, and he has no way to even use force against these prime ministers.
The little emperor's face was flushed with anger.
He angrily pointed at several prime ministers and shouted angrily: "You are here today to force the palace!" ”
Several prime ministers knelt down together and said in unison: "The ministers don't dare." ”
Yan Shou bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there must be an explanation for today's affairs, otherwise what is the justice of the Great Jin?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Chu nobleman who was lying on the ground and was still bleeding, and said in a deep voice: "That woman, the ministers are going to take her out of the palace, and I, the three law divisions, will investigate this matter clearly." ”
Xiao Zheng silently stepped forward, expressionless.
"Yan Sikong, this can't be."
