Chapter 1274: The Storm in the Court (Part II)
Xiao Lao'er smiled, "Isn't it her, is there anything else that charms the emperor's Liu Jieyu?" ”
Yang Huairen pretended to be surprised, "She charmed the emperor, at most it was a trick for the women in the harem to compete for favor, and what does it have to do with the court?" ”
Xiao Lao'er sighed, "Originally, outsiders don't know about the things in the harem of the official family, and they won't care about it, and they don't have the courage to talk about it, but because of a few words from the women in the harem, the official family can lose his temper with the big guy in the court, do you think it's a disaster for the court?" ”
Yang Huairen was really shocked this time, "There is such a thing? Taizu's posthumous training, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and even the Empress Dowager Gao was cautious at the beginning, did Liu Jieyu dare to blatantly interfere in the government and politics? ”
The old man motioned for him to speak quietly, "Shh, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." This Liu Jieyu has been in the palace since she was a child, and she was just an inconspicuous palace maid at first, and she was not a beauty.
But the eighteenth change of the female university, as she grew up, she turned out to be a 'bright and glamorous crown backyard' of the big beauty, how he was a beauty at the beginning, I think the prince must have heard of it.
The official family stayed up all night to review the folds, this Liu Jieyu didn't know what trick she played, and deceived the palace maid who was originally serving the official's family, she took a bowl of ginseng soup to the official's house, in order to attract the attention of the official's family, she pretended to fall down and splashed the ginseng soup on the official's shoes.
Such a bold move actually made the official family fall in love with her, and the result was that the official family did not enjoy the ginseng soup, but enjoyed her, and the next day she was promoted from a palace maid to a beauty.
Later, Queen Meng became pregnant with the dragon species, and the official family pampered Liu Meiren every night, so she was promoted to Jieyu. If this Liu Jieyu just knows how to please men, then it is a big mistake.
Liu Jieyu is shrewd, at the beginning of Zhang Xianggong's entry into the court, the prestige of the old party ministers in the DPRK and China is still there, not everyone buys his account, it is Liu Jieyu who constantly blows the wind in the ears of the official, so that Zhang Xianggong promoted his officialdom friends to the court as officials.
Zhang Xianggong has a right-hand man, and it is smooth sailing to get things done, so Zhang Xianggong is also willing to repay the favor, and some time ago he also wrote that Liu Jieyu is gentle and virtuous, and he wants the official family to promote her to Concubine Liu Xian. ”
"Huh?"
Yang Huairen was surprised, "And this matter?" I didn't expect Zhang Xianggong to have this side, hehe......"
Xiao Lao'er chuckled, "People can't look good, everyone has his good side and bad side, with the help of the harem to gain the power of the court, it is not a new thing since ancient times, and it is understandable for Zhang Xianggong to do this." ”
"Then the official family agreed to this?"
Xiao Lao'er shook his head, "Originally, I wanted to agree, and I asked the Ministry of Rites to set a date to hold the ceremony of canonizing Concubine Liu Xian, but unfortunately something happened, and the official family had to put this matter on hold." ”
Brother Black Bull asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Lao'er continued, "It's ridiculous, Liu Jieyu's mother's family has a maternal uncle, who was originally just a ruffian in the market, because Liu Jieyu was very favored by the official family, so she found an errand for her ruffian uncle as a county lieutenant from the seventh grade."
This kind of thing is also common, a person has become a fairy, and his cats and dogs in his family are also a little immortal, and no one will say anything about it.
But her maternal uncle is a fool from the billet, and he got this kind of good thing from someone else, and he is not honest on an errand, and he can easily take the court money, but he can't, thinking that he is amazing, and he will never walk on the street again, and he must take a sedan chair.
It was nothing for him to take a sedan chair, but later this stupid man didn't know what kind of cowhide madness he had done, and he felt that the car the emperor was riding in was very magnificent, so he hit a car himself, and actually got eight horses to pull it through the market. ”
"Hey, what does this kid have to be crazy to die like this?" Yang Huairen couldn't help laughing.
I don't know why, Xiao Lao'er combined the context and really understood what Yang Huairen's mouth meant by death, "Yes, it is already a big crime to create public opinion in private, but this idiot also used eight horses to pull it, isn't this just death?"
The scholars in the county naturally wanted to bring this absurd thing to the court, and the court discussed this matter that day, but it was sad for the officials.
For that fool, he is really ignorant, but this kind of thing is called arrogance at best, and it is an attempt to rebel at worst, and some courtiers in the court who are not accustomed to seeing Zhang Xianggong and Liu Jieyu's private teaching and acceptance just grasped this handle and said that they would punish Liu Jieyu's maternal uncle.
This makes it difficult for the official family, according to the law, Liu Jieyu's maternal uncle must die, if the official family is favoritistic, even his important ministers who have been personally promoted will not be happy.
In the end, it was Zhang Xianggong, who said that the person who could do such a thing must be crazy, so why bother to let His Majesty bother with a madman?
He deliberately reminded the official family how to deal with this matter, and the official family would also be interested, so he pardoned Liu Jieyu's maternal uncle for this high-sounding reason, but only removed him from his official position, which is considered to be the end of the matter.
But in this way, Liu Jieyu had no choice but to convict herself for her future status, saying that she was not worthy of being Concubine Liu Xian, and the matter of sealing the concubine was over.
In fact, fools can see it clearly, with the official family's obsession with Liu Jieyu, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a concubine, but this matter has caused a rift among the important ministers of the New Party in the court. ”
What Xiao Lao'er said had nothing to do with the famous queen, which made him feel a little relieved, but such a ridiculous thing happened, which made him extremely disappointed in Zhao Xu.
Although Yang Huairen didn't have much hope for Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu has always been good to him, and he has always been lucky, fantasizing that history has changed, maybe Zhao Xu will not become the emperor who coveted women in the original history.
But it turns out that Shannan is difficult to change, Zhao Xu is still the original Zhao Xu, a big victory that came early, and a woman in the harem who charmed him made him completely expose his true nature, and his original ambition to realize his father's reform wish was left behind by him like garbage.
The emperor is unreliable, and now a group of ministers in the court are even more unreliable, and the ambition when he was studying was also impregnated by power and money, and finally changed his taste.
People like Zhang Tun, when they were excluded at the beginning, also fantasized that one day they would be able to recover, and they must serve the country and the people, and become a generation of famous ministers, but as a result, in the face of the temptation of power, they finally went to the abyss of degeneration.
Don't forget the original intention, everyone will say, but how many people in this world have really done it?
The storm in the court blew away the old party, and it was not over, but also a big gap within the new party, and the result was that after fighting the old party, they continued to fight inwardly, and they fought back and forth, and finally put a powerful Great Song Dynasty on the road of gradual decay until its demise.
