1121 Entering the capital
Wei Chong had not left Xichi for a long time, and soon a Taichen heard the news and wanted to inquire about the situation in the garden.
However, Wei Chong had just learned of the specific death of the Empress Dowager from the empress, and he had not yet recovered from the huge shock, and he no longer dared to rely on his relatives to do anything to invite people to buy people and fight for power.
Seeing Wei Chong's performance like this, the ministers finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and realized that the emperor, whom they had not paid much attention to before, had now become the biggest variable in the current situation.
The most important thing now is not to investigate the emperor's intentions again, but to restore the connection between them. Although the previous emperor's sense of existence was not very high, there was still the empress dowager who listened to the government, even when it was the most chaotic not long ago, the situation in Taiwan was at least dominated by a few Taiwan assistants.
But now, the majesty of Taifu is gone, whether it is a crime or a fault remains to be discussed, and the empress dowager is no longer there, these officials in Taicheng want to obtain legal legitimacy, so they naturally have to closely follow the emperor, but now they can't even see the emperor's face!
This situation is simply unprecedented since Zhongxing, even when Emperor Yuan was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Wang family, he had to establish some close auxiliary ministers and actively compete for power in the cabinet. As for Su Zu, not to mention, he was promised to be a king who chased Xuan, Jing, and Wen III.
Even if Jiangdong is not spoken, even when the situation in China and North Korea was the most chaotic, there may be a powerful and secluded king that makes it difficult for the ministers to approach, but there is no situation where the emperor avoids a whole set of Taiwanese auxiliary teams.
You must know that although Emperor Jin Zuo is only a position similar to the co-master, no matter who is in power, this imperial power must be attracted and used in a certain way, so as to deter all parties.
In this situation, the emperor avoids all the ministers, and the deeper layer means that it is dissatisfied and negated by the entire Taicheng ruling team. Even in peacetime, this is an extremely dangerous signal, not to mention the fact that unrest is set to await at the moment.
That is to say, there are still strong ministers in Jiangbei who look south of the Yangtze River, otherwise there would have been Taiwanese ministers who couldn't stand this anxious torture and rushed into the forbidden place to ask the emperor what he wanted!
At present, there are only two people left in Taicheng, one is Zhuge Hui and the other is He Chong. Zhuge Hui was in a worrying situation at this time, and sent his children to welcome the envoy of Jiangbei, but he was directly refused to see by his son-in-law, and the well-informed ministers had already learned of the matter, and also realized that Jiangbei's move had absolutely no good intentions towards Zhuge Hui.
Therefore, Zhuge Hui did not dare to move at this time, also to avoid making mistakes in his busyness. Wei Chong, who had high hopes, had already retreated and returned home to close his door, so the task of restoring contact with the emperor was completely pressed on He Chong.
He Chong's current situation is also very embarrassing, although he has joined the Phoenix Pool, but before that, he was just picking up the missing things for several other Taiwan assistants, and neither popularity nor qualifications were enough to convince the public. Its positioning itself is balance and communication, like when Director Wang and Yu Liang stood side by side before, they made some contact and buffered as candidates recognized by both parties.
But now that the station is scattered, it is necessary for people to pinch people's hearts together with a leader's attitude, which is exactly what He Chong does not have.
And the person who needs to be contacted and communicated at the moment, Shen Chong avoids him, and the emperor also avoids him, He Chong is really completely helpless about this, but he is in such a position, he can't do nothing, and he is annoyed by the harassment of his ministers.
In the end, He Chong didn't even dare to go back to the official office, so he simply lived directly outside the garden gate, and sent people into the garden every day to ask for a meeting, and his posture could be described as bleak and embarrassing.
The world does not come to a complete halt because of the stagnation of either side, although the station is still extremely delayed, but the Jiangbei envoy finally arrived in Jiankang a few days later.
There is no way to hide this matter, because the time flow is waiting for the return of Liang Gong to the country, so on the day when the Jiangbei envoy arrives in Jiankang, even if there is no notice from Taicheng, there are also a large number of times in the capital who flock to Qingxi in the east of the city to greet them.
The arrival of the envoys along the way was not Jiangbei's usual strong posture, and half of them were mourned, and even ordinary soldiers were tied to their clothes and armor to show national mourning.
As for Wang Chao and Xi Tan in the team, the costume is even more pathetic to the extreme, there is no silk on the whole body, coarse linen shirts and robes, and stomped feet, and the soles of their feet have long been blurred by the stones and gravel on the road, crying into the capital in the watchful eyes of the masses in the capital, worthy of the name of blood and tears step by step.
Seeing such a sad and sad posture, the thoughts of the people in the capital were also pulled back to the panicked situation in the earlier turmoil, and there was no lack of howls in the crowd in response, but more were scolding, scolding Taifu for being stupid and incompetent, and so far unable to trace the previous turmoil to the conclusion and give comfort to the bitter lord and the people.
However, the matter is not over here, in order to avoid the envoys from Jiangbei from swaggering in the capital and making people's feelings more agitated, Tainai also sent people to greet and settle them early.
"The ministers were ordered by the governor of the capital, and when they returned to the country to inquire about things, they only tended to be under the Ming Hall, and did not dare to look around. In addition, there are many people who have been wronged and humiliated, and they urgently need to be listened to, and they are afraid that the grievances will not be hindered, and they dare not obey the emperor's orders, and they dare not wait until they are not envoys. ”
Facing the envoys sent by the stage to greet him, Yu Bin didn't even let them get close to his team. And the messengers had nothing to do, so they had to hurry back. As for Yu Bin and the others, they still continued to move forward until they reached the south side of the Vermilion Bird Truss in the city, and stopped and did not come forward.
Seeing the attitude of the Jiangbei envoy, the implication of the unkindness of the comer was even more obvious, and the people in the station couldn't help but be more anxious, and they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they went to ask Zhuge Hui and He Chong how to deal with it.
Zhuge Hui was also embarrassed at this time, he didn't expect Yu Bin's attitude to be so resolute, and that declaration was clearly implying that there were treacherous and evil people in the stage who were going to harm the few bitter masters in his team, so no one trusted him, but he wanted to face the king directly.
As for He Chong, although Zhuge Hui lacks the humiliation of being forced by his own son-in-law, his mood is not much better. In any case, the envoys of Jiangbei must no longer be exposed to the people in the capital, but those people gritted their teeth and refused to obey anything except the king's edict.
This can be regarded as having been forced into a desperate situation, He Chong can no longer care about anything else, and personally rushed into the garden, knelt outside the palace where the emperor lived, kowtowed and wailed: "Chaos in the country, disaster will lead to national mourning, and the ministers will serve the edict, and it is difficult to resign." If Your Majesty has a grudge, the ministers are willing to bear the wrath of the thunder, and dare not avoid the circumcision and car splitting, but I implore Your Majesty to boost your ambition and not alienate the subjects of the community......"
He Chong wailed for a long time before the palace people came out to summon him into the palace.
At this time, the emperor was still dressed in a plain robe and mourning clothes, sitting on the royal couch and looking down, seeing He Chong's embarrassed posture with a bruised forehead and tears on his face, a few slightly mean smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth: "It's all in this mess, the sin is only in the princes, I am still afraid to wait for the responsibility of heaven, but I don't know that my uncle-in-law has a big thought in his heart, and he wants to pay ......for it with one body."
He Chong heard that the emperor's tone was not as gentle as before, and even revealed a little cold, and he felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and bowed to his knees and stepped forward and said astringently: "The ministers are anxious and vain, and they dare not ask for extravagance to turn their sins." Although all evils are arbitrarily judged, if they want to settle the crowd and comfort the people's feelings, they still need to be judged. After the chaos, everything needs to be cured, and the subordinates are like lambs in fear, and they need to wait for the king's order to guide them......"
"I have been working for a long time to be public, and there has not been the slightest alienation, how can you repay me? At present, everything is waiting to be cured, so please ask my uncle-in-law to sue me, there are hundreds of sages to be used in Taiwan? If you use it inhumanely, it will become a mess, and it is better not to treat it! ”
Hearing the emperor's sharp and faintly broken tone, a layer of cold sweat welled up on He Chong's forehead, but he also had to say that his impression of the emperor was really impressive, although it was only a few answers, but it made him feel exhausted that he couldn't deal with it.
"Your Majesty has early wisdom and wisdom, inherited from the legacy of Su Zu, and the ministers are ashamed, and it is difficult to restore the old rule of Yongchang, but ......"
"Well, all sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing. I am mourning and autistic, and I am really embarrassed by the princess. But as my uncle-in-law said, everything needs to be cured, and the feelings of the group are to be comforted, and the world should not be depressed because of the sorrow of one person. Even if my uncle-in-law doesn't come to knock today, I will invite him to listen to him. This edict is correct, and the book is correct, so it will be announced immediately. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he pointed to an edict on the book and handed it to He Chong, and then sighed: "The Hanshu family, when the mourning is still grieving, I can't be a director, and I am the son of heaven, and I can't do all my filial piety......"
"Ministers are incompetent, and they are ...... to be gracious"
He Chong hurriedly bowed and said, and then took the edict with both hands, bowed his head and hurriedly glanced at it, his face changed suddenly.
This edict was neatly written, and the ink stains had already dried, which showed that it was not made in a hurry, but must have been carefully conceived by the emperor during his time in the garden.
As for the content of the edict, the first half of the edict is nothing more than self-harm and self-shame, but the second half involves the arrangement of the situation, which really makes He Chong's heart palpitate.
In the edict, Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, was the general of Wei, and the six armies of Suwei were purged in the capital, and Sima Xi, the king of the East China Sea, rushed into Taichang and presided over the state funeral. In fact, even most of the ministers felt that the imperial power was lonely and weak, which caused the king to be a traitor, and appropriately strengthening the power of the emperor was also conducive to the stability of the situation.
However, the most eye-catching content of the edict is the last two, the general of the expedition to the north, the general of Liang County, Shen Zhezi, the general, and the addition of the capital to supervise the affairs of the armies of Yangzhou, record a matter of Shangshu, and recall the capital. At the same time, the edict ordered that the two thousand stone ministers of Taiwan Province and the county should be used by each of them to use their talents for the country.
Of these two contents, the former means that the Shen family's return to the country is a foregone conclusion, and the latter means that the emperor intends to readjust the structure of the entire Taicheng center. Among the long edicts, there are very few people involved in the next step of power, and only He Chong was mentioned from the Zhongshu supervisor to the Zhongshu order, which is a little more consolation than nothing.
He Chong held this edict in his hand, and was stunned on the spot for a while, and the first thought that came to his mind was that although the emperor was in the garden during this time, he was not completely ignorant of foreign affairs, and the person who acted as a bridge must be Shen Ke, who was escorted by the arch in the Jianping Garden before!
The second point is that the formation of this whole situation after the return of the capital is actually faintly aimed at He Chong. If the strong vassal returns to the country to govern, it is not easy to talk about it from the etiquette system, but now Chu Yu is forcibly blocked from returning to Taiwan, Zhuge Hui is shocked by the entry of Jiangbei envoys into the capital and does not dare to move, and He Chong is the only one who can gather the ministers to oppose in Taiwan.
But He Chong is now also forced into a desperate situation, and there are only two ways in front of him, either obediently obey the edict, or turn around and go back to Taicheng to face the devastated mess at the moment alone. (https:)
