In the morning, the sky was clear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoMid-Autumn waves are rising in North Lake. In a small courtyard near the lake in Jingyuan, Han Jin and the King of Chu were playing chess in the open house.

At the age of twenty, the king of Chu was slender and wore a moon-white scribe's shirt, and his literary quality was polite. Sitting in front of the chessboard, a sunspot fell, and said with a smile: "Mr. is talented." ”

The deliberations of the Wuying Hall have begun. I don't know, Gao Shangshu, who is going to be Zhishi, does not recommend King Jin according to tacit understanding. I'm afraid no one expected that, right?

Han Xiucai smiled calmly and said, "The prince has won the award." It's just that the prince has some opportunities. To be made the crown prince, you need to continue to work hard. ”

King Chu smiled and nodded.

His fourth brother contacted the ministers in Beijing, and he had the help of Jinyi Wei and the internal supervisor, and he showed his face in front of the Son of Heaven, and he was proud of the spring breeze! What now? Ha ha!

Outside the door, from Suzhou, Han Jin's friend, Xiucai Luo Ziche, and Tong Zhengyan saw the situation in the house and smiled at each other. Ziheng has traveled the world for several years, and now he is getting more and more powerful. The Donglin lineage is expected to pass through the King of Chu and return to the helm of the court.

…

…

In the Wuying Palace, the air froze.

Procedurally, there is no problem with Gao Guo, the secretary of the military department. In addition to ministers who are automatically qualified through their official positions, the Son of Heaven can also designate people to participate.

However, Gao Shangshu suggested that the Son of Heaven designate the King of Jin to participate, which was too taboo. Who knows what the Son of Heaven thinks in his heart? -- The matter of abolishing the crown prince is not far away, and whether the Son of Heaven is willing to make a prince now, it is difficult for any of the ministers to take the right pulse.

The Son of Yongzhi looked at Gao Guozheng in front of him with cold eyes, high on the throne, and said coldly: "Gao Guo is vainly unpredictable and sinister, and his crime should be punished." ”

Gao Shangshu, old and sick, originally just planned to speculate on politics before retirement. At this time, the words to the Son of Heaven knelt down in fright. bowed without a crown, and apologized: "

Your Majesty, the prince is the foundation of the country, and it is advisable to set it as soon as possible. Since ancient times, there have been grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren. The minister did not dare to be selfish. Only His Majesty's Sacred Heart is alone. If a minister fails to live up to the grace of God, he deserves death. I hope that Your Majesty will be old and the quasi-ministers will beg for bones. ”

Gao Shangshu begged for mercy, and the ministers in the Wuying Hall sighed in their hearts, and won a lot of sympathy points - poor cannon fodder in King Jin's camp! Of course, it is just emotion, no one will intercede for Gao Shangshu at this time.

Don't take everyone for a fool. Don't take the Son of Heaven for a fool.

Yongzhi Tianzi ignored the kneeling military department Shangshu and asked He Shuo in front of him, "He Qing?" ”

He Shuo saluted, gave a solution, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ministers think that Gao Guo is a big mistake about this, and it is not enough to take it. His Majesty remembered that he had been diligent in royal affairs for many years, and he was confused for a while, and he could be allowed to do so. "Gao Guo is guilty of openly waving the flag for the king of Jin, but the crime is not death.

He is still very fair. Although, in his heart, he hated the dispute between the two kings for succession. Fighting for each other, making the country empty. Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

He has the trust of the Son of Heaven, and it is enough to rule for five to ten years. But those who have monopolized power for a long time basically do not end well. He didn't want to end up like this. With the age of the Son of Heaven, the dispute between the princes has nothing to do with him.

The murderous intent of the Son of Yongzhi is still relatively heavy. Gao Guo violated his taboo. Immediately, he frowned slightly. However, He Shuo's opinion, he needs to consider.

There was silence in the Wuying Palace.

…

…

A court meeting, originally discussing the candidate for the university scholar, no one expected the topic to turn to the candidate for the prince. King Jin participated in the government politics, isn't this the crown prince? Although the dynasty did not raise the prince and clan relatives as pigs like the Ming Dynasty. However, the princes did not have the authority to open the government and govern affairs. Only the crown prince needs to learn to govern the country.

At that moment, the Son of Yongzhi was silent and thinking, and the courtiers waited for the decision of the Son of Heaven.

The criminal department is still the book Huamo, but suddenly realized that his opportunity had come. The major events of the world are all determined by the Son of Heaven! He Shuo's opinion on who to designate as a scholar of Wuyingdian is very important, but the decision is in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Hua Mo's heart moved, he stepped forward, and said to the Yongzhi Emperor who was contemplating on the throne: "The minister thinks that Gao Guo has a bad heart and can chase down the words since he was born. Your Majesty is in the peak of spring and autumn, so why not let the prince hang for a while? ”

Chasing down the written word from the time of birth is a relatively heavy punishment for officials. In other words, to kick out the team of readers. Naturally, the corresponding political privileges of scholars can no longer be enjoyed.

Similarly, double-on. That is, expulsion from the party (the status of a scholar) and expulsion from public office (official position).

Therefore, Wu Yingdian suddenly heard the sound of talking from ear to ear, and Zhu Hongfei, the superintendent of the imperial history, immediately made a loud noise, "Silence!" "Obviously, Hua Shangshu is blatantly welcoming the Son of Heaven. This is a very ungodly act! Shameless.

Hua Mo was not affected by the surrounding atmosphere in the slightest, and said: "The minister thinks that the top priority is that there is a lack of people in the Holy Lord, so it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible." The minister thought that Yang Guifei could be promoted to the imperial concubine! ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar. Immediately, the official of the Daoyan came out and scolded: "Hua Mo, what is it for you? ”

"It's a fart. How can a brother and sister-in-law be queens? A hundred years later, how will future generations comment on this dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty, Hua Mo is selfish, and if he wants to trap His Majesty in injustice, his crime should be beheaded."

For a time, the crowd in the Wuying Hall was surging.

The Son of Yongzhi currently has three concubines. When Yang Guifei was promoted to the throne of a concubine, the bachelors of the Military Aircraft Department at that time refused to obey the edict. Because, Yang Guifei's identity is problematic. Yang Guifei has a prince under her knees, and if she is an imperial concubine, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a queen. So, do you still want the three platforms and five permanent members? How can this be accepted by orthodox readers?

Yongzhi Tianzi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that among the courtiers, there were people who had this vision and courage. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and he favors Yanyan the most. However, He Shuo, the foreman of the military aircraft, is upright and upright, and everyone in science will not agree to him to make Yanyan the queen.

Yongzhi Tianzi glanced at Hua Mo deeply, as if he wanted to remember this person.

He Shuo reprimanded: "Hua Bingzhang, what is your proposal?" Still not quitting? ”

Zai Fu's power was like this, Hua Mo bowed his hand and retreated silently. No one saw him bow his head, and the joy in his eyes flashed.

He Shuo said to the Son of Heaven again: "Your Majesty, it is appropriate to discuss the candidate for the Wuyingdian University Scholar today. Although he did not agree to make Yang Guifei the imperial concubine and queen, he didn't want to sweep the face of the Son of Heaven in public.

Yongzhi Tianzi didn't speak, his face was calm, he pointed to Gao Guo, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Deal with it according to Hua Mo's opinion." With that, he got up from the throne, turned to the back of the hall, and left the Wuying Palace. The eunuchs hurriedly followed.

The ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall were caught off guard and felt a little dazed. Obviously, the issue of Yang Guifei made the Son of Heaven very dissatisfied.

Liu Feibai shook his head in his heart, he also disagreed with the appointment of Yang Guifei as the queen. But it seems that the Son of Heaven has made up his mind. asked He Shuo, "Gao Yuan, what kind of charter is it now?" ”

He Shuo looked at the ministers of Wuying Palace, who were talking about it, made a decision, and said: "The disposition of Gao Guo's right is subject to the dictation of the Son of Heaven. We will continue to push and report the results to the Son of Heaven later. ”

Immediately, the courtiers in the Wuying Hall slowly restored order.

Near noon, Zeng Jin and Yin Peng, the candidates with the highest votes in the court, were reported to the Son of Heaven and waited for the Son of Heaven to decide. Song Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who won the third vote, was excluded from the list of reports by Scholar He.

…

…

On September 26, the 14th year of Yongzhi, as the ministers left the Wuying Hall one after another, the process of deliberations in the palace soon spread throughout the capital. What a twist and turn!

No one expected that Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of War would speak for King Jin. Similarly, no one expected that Shangshu Huamo of the Criminal Department would suddenly rise to mention Yang Guifei's status. Of course, he left a good impression on the Son of Heaven, but if he wants to be promoted, he still needs to wait for the opportunity.

On the other hand, before the court meeting, full of confidence, the nine popular provinces all checked Wang Ziteng, and unexpectedly lost the election. Who would have thought that Pravda's preaching would be counterproductive? He Daxue wants to suppress the military attaché!

There's a lot to see. Analysts and commentators from the roadside club have been spitting all over the capital. And the real aftermath and impact are slowly spreading in the night, like ripples on the surface of a lake.

…

…

Autumn nights are cool. In the outer study of the prince of the Wang family, in the small Yongfang, Qiuye Hutong, and the prince of the Wang family, some people who had only gathered two days ago had to meet again. It's just that this time the atmosphere is a little dignified.

Wang Chengsi sat on the main seat of the study, and his eyes slid over everyone's faces one by one: Wang Zisheng, Shi Ding, Shi Zhi, Li Shourong, Tian Shengyuan, Tang Qi, and Chuan Ninghou. With a heavy sigh, "Everyone..."

Wang Chengsi made a start, and suddenly, he couldn't continue in a depressed mood. He talked to King Jin, and King Jin strongly recommended it in front of the Son of Heaven, but who would have thought that the result would be this? His father's original bachelor flew away.

Wang Zisheng said dissatisfiedly: "What are you sighing about? This is all Jia Huan's kid troublemaker. If he hadn't been talking nonsense in Pravda, how could he have aroused the displeasure of the scholars? ”

Shi Zhi immediately agreed, "Yes, that's his reason." ”

Shi Ding was silent. Without their own reasons? In the newspapers, some of the articles were written by officials related to the four major families, right?

Looking at the ugliness of this scene in the outer study, Li Shourong, the priest of Dali Temple, shook his head in his heart. These people didn't even understand the basic things: Jia Huan was clearly showing the carriage and horses, and wanted to fight for the right to speak within the four major families.

Jia Huan disagreed, Uncle Wang wanted to go to this university, but he couldn't get in. Who asked the Wang family not to consult with him before?

Li Shourong felt that he should not come here tonight. Instead, you should consider going to Jia Mansion to sit. No one wants to be in the company of fools.

Outside the window of the outer study, the autumn night is getting colder.

Wang Chenghei, Wang Zisheng, Shi Zhi and other figures of the Wang family are still criticizing Jia Huan, but the centrifugal force has already occurred. And they don't know it yet!

…

…

Seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Baochai was talking to Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Baoqin in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and waited for Jia Huan by the way. She asked Qingwen, who went to the front yard of Jiafu to inquire about the news, "The third master hasn't finished seeing the guests yet?" ”

Qingwen nodded and replied, "I asked Qian Huai to ask the third master, and said that the third master is still meeting with Zhao Shilang from the household department." Second Master Lian, Uncle Rong of Dongfu, and Second Master Qiang are all waiting outside, afraid that they will have to talk about it. ”

Baochai groaned and nodded. Under the bright light, the apricot eyes and peach cheeks are peachy, and the skin is better than snow.

…

…

The news in Wu Yingdian, Jia Huan, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, naturally knew about it in the afternoon. After dinner, Zhao Shilang, the left waiter of the household department, came to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Huan had a secret conversation with him.

Zhao Shilang complained to Jia Huan hatefully that Wang Chenghei, the eldest son of Wang Ziteng, was unreliable, and finally said: "The erector is not enough and strategic." ”

Jia Huan smiled, "Lord Zhao, you still have to distinguish my uncle from my cousin." ”

Zhao Shilang was slightly stunned, smiled and nodded Jia Huan, "You..., I should have come over to talk to you a long time ago." He took a sip of tea from his teacup and said, "You want to talk to King Beijing." His friendship with your house is extraordinary. ”

Zhao Shilang belongs to the peripheral forces of the four major families, and is considered a close political ally. This is a bit pretentious: this is asking Jia Huan to find foreign aid to suppress the Wang family.

The personal relationship between King Beijing and Jiafu was excellent. far better than the others among the four kings and eight princes. It also exceeds the relationship with the Wang family.

Jia Huan nodded, "I know." ”

…

…

Seeing Zhao Shilang away, Jia Huan called Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang in and chatted for a while. Jia Huan's tricks and feet in Pravda can't hide it. The Jia and Wang families are in-laws, and they can't eat loose meals. There are some things that he has to give to the three of them:

The struggle between Jiafu and the Wang family is not a life-and-death one. But the Wang family must respect the wishes of Jiafu.

After talking, Jia Huan came out of the front yard, went straight to Jiafu East Road, entered the Grand View Garden, and arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Xiangling greeted them. Baoqin has already returned to Wuyuan first. Jia Huan said apologetically: "Let Feng'er wait for a long time." You have to rest on time. ”

Daiyu chuckled.

After laughing and talking for a while, Daiyu and Xiangyun rested. Jia Huan took his wife and concubine back to the North Garden. Walking on the road, the autumn wind is cold. Baochai was wearing a delicate brown cloak with bright eyes like stars, and asked, "Husband, outside... You okay? ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly, gently hugged Sister Bao's thin waist, and looked at her delicate and beautiful face under the moonlight. smiled: "Sister, it's okay." ”

The four major families are obviously dominated by the Wang family. Wang Ziteng wants to become a scholar and mix with King Jin. So, if the prince can't be promoted to this scholar, he won't still express his support for King Jin, right?

As a politician, the basic literacy is: don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle. King Jin's business is not done, will Wang Ziteng give him his life? The answer is not asked.

Of course, this is only a temporary relief of the "crisis". With the urine nature of Second Uncle Wang, I am afraid that I want to take advantage of the opportunity. The four major families, because of their blood relationship, can't be separated at all, and they can't eat loose meals. If Jia Huan wants to do it once and for all, he must take the lead of the four major families.

Jia Huan and Pang Ze's answer that day. Jia Huan's decision was to block Wang Ziteng's promotion, give up his release, and instead seek promotion in Beijing.

Because, he was afraid that he would not be in Beijing, and if he was not careful, he would implicate the Wang family in the turmoil of seizing the heir.

And with his current situation, it is extremely difficult to seek promotion in Beijing. Just like Wei Shentong said, it's almost a dead end. However, Mr. Lu Xun once said: In fact, there is no road on the earth, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.
