Chang'an City, the wind is surging, the forces of all parties are playing, and through the secret guard report, Yang Mingkun has some understanding. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The heart is like a mirror, the change has not yet been implemented, and the supporters and opponents are also fighting in the dark.
For this reason, Yang Mingkun is happy to hear that although there is bloodshed in Chang'an, he can understand how powerful the military family is in the game, and can also understand public opinion, and how many supporters there are once the reform is implemented.
In the past few days, the people of Chang'an City and the literati have written one after another, and the businessmen have also submitted letters to demand the implementation of changes through the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the more powerful chamber of commerce in the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Mingkun saw the people's aspirations and realized that the court should be reformed, and it was time to implement it in accordance with the people's will.
However, he needed the right moment to implement change.
At this moment, the excerpt sent by King Qi gave Yang Mingkun a breakthrough, and he did not hesitate to summon King Qi into the palace.
Crossing the Criminal Department, Jing Zhaoyi instructed the King of Qi to dispatch Shenwu Wei to surround Wei Changkong's mansion and throw Wei Changkong into the heavenly prison, and the Wei clan members were either imprisoned or detained.
Yang Mingkun knew that the implementation of change needed an opportunity, and sending Wei Changkong to prison just created this opportunity for him.
Kill chickens and monkeys, and deter military families.
After King Qi captured Wei Changkong, he secretly went to King Yan's Mansion to discuss with Yang Yue.
After mastering the evidence of Wei Changkong's corruption, corruption, and appropriation of the people's daughter, Yang Yue should have carried out the arrest himself.
However, in order to avoid making too many enemies in the court and being impeached by some officials in the court for deliberate retaliation, the only way to retreat was to let the court advocate a more neutral King of Qi participate.
King Qi and Yang Yue met briefly in the Yan Palace, and decided to go along with the vine to try to grasp more evidence of the military family's favoritism to ensure the smooth implementation of the reform.
The wind is howling, the rain is drenching, and the thunder is showing.
Chang'an City, which was already turbulent, after King Qi captured Wei Changkong, the sky of Chang'an City was even more cloudy, as if a storm was about to start.
In the court, many officials knew that Wei Changkong had entered Beijing to resume his life, and had not yet been reappointed, and in the past few days, he had been running continuously to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the East Palace, hoping to go to Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River to serve as the assassin.
Unexpectedly, he has not yet been reappointed, and was directly arrested by the King of Qi leading the Shenwu Army to cross the criminal department, and has not yet explained reasonably.
For a time, in Chang'an City, everything was silent, all parties surrendered on the surface, but in secret, but the torrent was surging, and the situation became more and more tense.
Officials of military families ran with each other, joined forces one after another, and formed alliances one after another, striving to protect the interests in their hands.
At the critical juncture of whether to change, the emperor suddenly arrested Wei Changkong, whether there was a hint, or wanted to kill the chicken and set an example, all parties were puzzled.
If Wei Changkong is an ordinary official, Wei Changkong is the brother of the head of the Wei family with the fourth surname in Guanzhong, and his status in the Wei family is extremely high.
For hundreds of years, the four surnames of Guanzhong, the five surnames and the seven wangs, and the four major military gates, have married each other, surrounded by interests, and have both prosperity and loss.
Today, the emperor grabbed Wei Changkong, as if he wanted to inlay a nail in the military family, and it was piercing the flesh.
After the Chang'an military family got the news, they had already secretly discussed.
The five surnames and seven wangs, the four surnames of Guanzhong, and the officials of the He family all went to Yuwen Mansion to ask Yuwenshi for advice, but they were told that Yuwenshi was ill and closed the door.
At this moment, the fire burned his eyebrows, Yuwenshi knew the emperor's intentions, but he didn't dare to come forward, and he didn't want to come forward.
For the Yuwen family, this is the only way to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait and watch the changes, and plan before acting.
In desperation, the hundred officials had no choice but to go to the East Palace and ask the crown prince Yang Hong.
However, the prince was completely in the dark about Wei Changkong's arrest, and if He Hengrui hadn't mentioned it, the prince wouldn't have known the details.
However, the prince soon realized how much of a problem Wei Changkong would bring, stabilized the ministers, and left his cronies He Hengrui and Li Minhao to go to the study to discuss.
The door of the study is closed, guarded by guards, and outsiders are strictly forbidden to approach.
Sitting on the soft couch, the prince pondered for a while, and said: "Zuo servant shooting, Lord Shangshu, Wei Changkong was arrested, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
Yesterday, he wanted to send a heavy gift to the king, and wanted to seek to serve as the assassin of Hangzhou, but the king refused. ā
"Yes, Wei Changkong has also found a lower official, so he will assassinate the history of Hangzhou!" Li Minhao, the secretary of the ministry, said.
"Hangzhou Thorn History, it's a fat shortage!" The left servant shot He Hengrui sighed. gradually became puzzled, and asked: "However, don't take it lightly, the Fourth Highness and the Sixth Highness are very close, and the Fourth Highness has written and arrested Wei Changkong with his own hands, will it mean that the Sixth Highness has declared war on you, Your Highness?" ā
He Hengrui and Li Minhao are all old ministers in the court, who have been up and down in the sea for decades, and have a keen political sense of smell.
Hearing the sound, the prince picked up the teacup on the bookcase, but instead of drinking tea, he pondered and sorted out what happened in Chang'an recently.
Soon, he said in a low voice: "If this king's guess is right, Wei Changkong was arrested, most likely by Liulang's secret instructions. A few days ago, in the East Palace, a eunuch went out, and happened to meet Xiao Yun under Liulang, who often went out of the south gate in spring, and it is estimated that he went to Liangzhou.
Otherwise, according to Shiro's character of staying outside the court, how could he interfere in this matter? ā
"Your Royal Highness, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, was not close to the sixth prince in the past, why did the sixth prince return to Chang'an, and the two of them are close to the sixth prince!" Li Minhao said.
However, He Hengrui waved his hand and said, "Lord Li, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, the old man is worried about whether Wei Changkong's arrest is related to the emperor's desire to implement reforms." ā
"It must be related, according to the character of the father, arresting Wei Changkong is most likely to make an example of the chicken, so as to reduce the resistance to the implementation of change." The crown prince cut the railway, he never expected things to become so troublesome, and said: "Zuo servant, Master Li, you don't need to worry, tomorrow in the court, we will work together to explain the dangers of change, Liulang is difficult to support alone in the court, and the reform may not be implemented smoothly." ā
"Don't worry, the prince will work together!" He Hengrui, Li Minhao said.
At this time, the prince's expression became serious, put down the teacup in his hand, clenched his fists tightly, and said: "Liulang is proud of his talents, relying on his father Emperor Longen, to challenge this king, this matter is not over."
Li Shangshu, you immediately go to the Chu King's Mansion and hand over this fold to the Chu King. ā
As he spoke, the prince picked up the fold in the bookcase and handed it to Li Minhao.
When Li Minhao was about to leave, there was a knock at the door of the study, and the three princes couldn't help but look over, and the prince lowered his voice and asked, "Who is it?" ā
"Your Highness, little Anzi!" The eunuch outside the door responded.
"Come in!"
The door of the study was gently pushed open, and a young eunuch walked in, and after saluting the prince, he said: "Your Highness, there is news from the imperial study, when King Qi arrested Wei Changkong, in his study, he found a secret document, which seems to list many things, and at present, it has been handed over to the emperor!" ā
