1119 Confessions
The return of the emperor meant that the turmoil in the Kinai, which had lasted for several months, had finally come to an end. At the very least, for the ordinary people in the capital, there is no need to worry about disasters, killings, looting, and harm.
But in fact, after the turmoil, how can everything return to square one.
For all parties in the current situation, the emperor's return to the court just means a new beginning, a dangerous place that even outweighs the previous turbulent process, whether it is the death of the Yu brothers by throwing fire, or Wang Yunzhi's suicide by biting his tongue, including Zhuge Hui's eldest son suddenly falling ill and dying, all indicate that the trend of the times is impossible to return to stability.
In particular, one of the Shen father and son led a large number of villagers and took refuge in Shiliu, known as not hiding the evil of the village, and the other was in charge of the heavy army in Jiangbei and declared that only the edict was righteous, all of which were dense clouds gathered in the sky above the head of Jiankang City, and no one knew what the scene was like in the capital when the storm poured.
In the face of such a situation, Shen Chong's arrival in Jiankang can be described as a major event that has attracted attention from time to time in the capital, and his itinerary has always been closely watched. Therefore, on the day that Shen Chong was about to enter the capital, Tainei from He Chong and the following clubs were far away from the city and came to the south of the big truss to greet him.
However, from mid-day to evening, there was no trace of Shen Chong. The ministers sent people to investigate and inquire, only to learn that Shen Chong stayed in Dunan directly and did not choose to return to Jiankang as soon as possible.
However, Shen Chong did not deliberately act arrogantly, and still sent someone to inform the ministers of his distress: "When I returned from guilt, I should have gone straight to His Majesty to ask for punishment." However, the nostalgia was entangled, and seeing that the south of the capital was ruined, and most of the villagers and industries were scattered and collapsed, the nostalgia was indignant, so that I could not calmly enter the view, and had to stay for a while to comfort the people. Furthermore, the responsibility for the crime is even worse, because he is self-proclaimed, and he does not dare to steal the public position to self-beauty, and he will return the order, and he will enter Taiwan in vain in the coming day to receive responsibility. ”
Seeing the talismans, chapter uniforms and many other tokens sent by Shen Chong, He Chong and other Taiwanese ministers were also dumbfounded. They also thought that after the Shen clan returned to the capital, it would inevitably set off a new round of storms to compete for the authority scattered in the place after the chaos, but they didn't expect that the start would be a trick that was almost self-harming to resign and wait for punishment.
Of course, this is not self-harm, Shen Chong is in vain, and there is no place for him in the government. So even if you give up now, there's no pity at all.
But Shen Chong said this, but he directly put others in an embarrassing and dilemma, such as Zhuge Hui, who had been staying in Zhoushan. is also in the public office, the same return to the capital and not into the arch, Shen Chong resigned to apologize, so what about Zhuge Hui?
In fact, as early as on the way, Shen Chong's remarks had forced Chu Yi to be extremely embarrassed, and the so-called dare not steal righteousness and filth the flow of time for self-preservation, it seemed that he was self-proclaiming, but he still directly criticized Chu Chong for abandoning the situation in Gyeonggi, but fled to Xuancheng to form the so-called Xingtai Righteous Division.
During this period of time, the criticism of Chu Chong's behavior in the capital was also constant, because Chu Yi was the kind of person who claimed to be loyal and self-proclaimed and slandered the capital to protect his position and reputation! Many people blamed Chu Biao's escape on the mutiny of the guards in Stone City, the death of Zhou Mo, the siege of Jianping Garden, and even the death of the Empress Dowager.
Although Chu Yi is still in Xuancheng and has not returned to the capital, and has not made any official statements, the situation is already very bad. If it weren't for the fact that the current trend had gradually changed to no longer using swords, it was very likely that Chu Yi would have been besieged by those speculative township heroes.
It can be said that although the Shen father and son have not really returned to the current situation, through this kind of gentle verbal allusion, they blocked the possibility of Chu Yi, the first Taifu of the dynasty, to return to power, and directly abolished his political prestige and future.
Now that Shen Chong has arrived in Dunan, the second attack is directed at Zhuge Hui, and the political plot of the Shen family is fully revealed, that is, to uproot and sweep away all the old forces in the court. In other words, after Zhuge Hui, He Chong is naturally inevitable.
Although He Chong is inferior to Chu Yi and Zhuge Hui in front of him in terms of time, and he is a little reluctant to take charge of Taiwan affairs, but he is not much inferior in ability. In the face of Shen Chong's seemingly concessionary, but aggressive attitude, he naturally did not dare to slack off.
So he directly rejected Shen Chong's request to resign in the south of the big truss, and even personally led a part of the ministers to send Shen Chong's returned talismans, chapter uniforms and other things back to the capital, in order to show Taiwan's respect and deep affection for Sikong.
However, even when he arrived at the door, Shen Chong still avoided it in the name of self-shame.
In the end, He Chong and the others could only leave their things, and then returned to Taicheng with a lot of concern, and then the first thing was naturally to urgently summon Zhuge Hui to return to Taicheng to sit down.
Although the Shen family is indeed the trend of the times at present, it does not mean that all the ministers and the current people are willing to follow the lead of others, even if the general trend is unstoppable, these people also need a leader to lead them to exist in the current situation for a little support in order to maintain a foothold.
Zhuge Hui also understands that things can no longer be strong now, you must know that the father and son of the Shen family, Shen Weizhou, who is even more difficult to deal with, has not returned to Jiangdong, and Shen Chong alone has already shown such a strong offensive posture, if he is weak and passive, he will definitely lose even more miserably.
Therefore, after the Taiwan order arrived in Zhoushan, Zhuge Hui first expressed his self-blame for failing to stabilize the situation of the town and township, resulting in many disasters in the east, and then did not wait for the approval of the Zhongshu General Seal, and hurriedly returned to Taicheng under the support of some Taiwanese ministers.
After he returned to Taicheng, the long-paralyzed administrative system of Taicheng began to operate rapidly, first of all, it was to open up the royal family, the king, and the noble relatives in the surrounding area, and allow the hungry people to enter the city to fish and hunt for food, and then at the same time issued an edict to all prefectures and counties in Jiangdong, calling on local officials to raise money and grain as soon as possible to send it north to help the plight of Gyeonggi.
Although it is still worrying about the effectiveness of various government decrees, at least this kind of proactive response and cleaning up the mess is put on display. In short, in addition to turning over the old case, do not give the Shen family a new excuse to make trouble.
And if this order is maintained and stabilized, it will be difficult for the Shen family to overturn the old case again. In particular, it is difficult for Shen Weizhou to achieve the degree of controlling the inside and outside without getting dirty.
But since Shen Zhezi dared to make such a gesture, how could he leave them any opportunity and time to cover up their old evils. Not long after Zhuge Hui returned to Taiwan, the news that the Jiangbei envoy was about to enter the capital quickly spread to the capital.
At the same time, the identities of these envoys are also revealed, whether it is Yu Bin of the Yu family, or Xi Tan, the son of Wang Mian and Xi Jian, the orphan of the royal family, all of them give people a great space for reverie.
Especially when Wang was mixed in this mission, it can be said that it caused an uproar in the capital. You must know that the tragedy of the Wang family's annihilation, although most of the people in the current situation dare not discuss it deeply, they are also convinced that it must have a great relationship with the Shen family. However, what people didn't expect at the time was that when the Langya Wang family was at stake, he pinned the only hope for the survival of the entire family on the Shen family!
Therefore, although the envoy has not officially arrived in Jiankang along the way, it has already caused all kinds of discussions in the capital, and in the case of agitation, the attitude of actively responding, issuing frequent government decrees, and pretending to be busy in the station has quickly become an embarrassing drama of talking to himself.
"The Shen family is deep, and it is really beyond the reach of people. Wang Jingyu laid out this plan on his deathbed, and he really didn't lose the legacy of Taifu! ”
After Zhuge Hui learned the news, he was naturally stunned for a long time, and then sighed and said. Shen Weizhou was willing to send the orphans of the royal family across the river, and it was conceivable that he must have extremely favorable evidence. And Shen Chong's previous posture and attack now seem to be more like a feint posture, that is, to force the wandering Zhuge Hui into Taicheng and cut off his retreat!
The turmoil in Jiangdong is actually extremely complicated when it comes to deep discussion. Strictly speaking, Chu Yu, Zhuge Hui and other Taiwan assistants did have the sin of dereliction of duty, and this led to extremely serious consequences. However, when it comes to the actual crimes, there is actually no conclusive evidence that can directly point to Taifu.
Including Zhuge Yong's plan to abolish the establishment, there is no actual evidence to point to. If there is no conclusive evidence and no evidence, it will not be possible to reach a conclusive and fair trial.
Even if there is a serious consequence such as the death of the queen mother, the auxiliary public can be criminalized, and the resignation can be blamed, and even imprisoned for life, but it cannot achieve the effect of touching the melon and uprooting it along the vine, and it also leaves the possibility of repeatedness.
The deaths of the Yu brothers, Wang Yunzhi, and Zhuge Yong are all trying their best to blur this process. Even if the Shen family took advantage of this to make trouble, it was a factional dispute and a conflict of interests, not the so-called dispute between the rope and the judiciary and the Zhangming rules. Once the situation develops to that point, there will inevitably be a considerable amount of help to emerge, and to protect the incumbent Taifu is to protect themselves.
It is precisely because of this vague possibility that Zhuge Hui gritted his teeth and insisted on it when the king's life, nostalgia, and family education were lost, because if he couldn't hold on and fell, he would become the culprit to fill this ambiguity, just like the situation when the tide of time bit the death of the queen mother to Chu Biao, who was far out of the situation.
All kinds of piles and piles indicate that this time Jiangbei will inevitably contain huge energy and variables, otherwise Shen's behavior and posture of retreating from the outside and forcing himself to clean himself will become a joke.
Although he knew that there was little hope, Zhuge Hui hurriedly called his young son Zhuge Heng and instructed: "You go out of the capital quickly to meet your brother-in-law, and you must meet him before he enters the capital. ”
After Zhuge Heng got the order, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led several family members out of the capital, and finally met Yu Bin and other Jiangbei envoys in Qu'a.
But when the Zhuge family begged to see him, Yu Bin just replied without hesitation: "This time I returned to the south, it is all in the king's order, and there is no selfish affection to tell!" ”(https:)
