Chapter 27: Doing What You Want (Part I)
Lu Gong's beard was all open, obviously angry. He stood in the dormitory with his head held high, and reprimanded angrily: "The emperor and Song rule the world with filial piety. His Majesty listens to the government with the power of the queen today, I don't know where the filial piety is? ”
Lu Gongshu's rebuke made Empress Xiang's face change suddenly. The charge is too big. Loyalty and filial piety are the fundamental festivals of the country. Thinking of filial piety at home, thinking of loyalty and loyalty in the court, the two words of loyalty and filial piety are two sides of one body, and they are the foundation of Confucian social stability. Even the Son of Heaven would not dare to openly violate filial piety, otherwise how could he persuade his courtiers to be loyal?
"Why did Lu Shumi say that?" Wang Jue stood up and stood in front, "There is a reason for this matter. ”
"Even if there is a reason, it should not be trapped in injustice." Lu Gong took a step forward, and his voice was three points louder, "Your Majesty does not take the queen mother, but listens to the queen mother, dare to ask the world how to treat the queen mother, and how the queen mother should deal with herself?!" On the day of Emperor Yingzong's death, I don't know if His Majesty can be worthy in front of the gods?! ”
Lu Gongzhu's fierce reaction was a bit unexpected, and even Wang Zhongzheng and Zhang Shouyue in the outer hall heard the voice, gritted their teeth and ran over to see the wind.
Han Gang was also surprised. He didn't believe that Lu Gongshu didn't see the current direction of the wind, and it didn't make sense to stand on it. Even if you don't want to be called capricious, you shouldn't be so indignant.
Lu Gongzhu has never been a stubborn courtier like Wang Anshi who admits death. Lu Yijian is ruthless and cunning, and his family history is long, how can his son be the minister of the upright and solemn Qingjie?
In the case of Chen Shiru's murder of his mother two years ago, the people of the Lu family almost bought Dali Temple in order to protect themselves. Without Lu Gongzhi nodding, can he be so unscrupulous? It is inevitable to be informed. But now Lu Gongzhi has a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but he looks like Bao Xiaosu is possessed.
Han Gang looked coldly at what tricks Lu Gongzhu was going to play, and he didn't stand up to fight with the prince Taibao. He's done enough today anyway. It's time to show your style and give others a chance to make a statement.
Han Zhen stood up and said in a round field: "Lu Shumi, this is just an old practice of offering Empress Mingsu according to the chapter, and following the story. ”
Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu, that is, Empress Liu E of Zhenzong, when Zhenzong was seriously ill in her later years, she used to handle political affairs as the queen.
But Lu Gongzhu immediately refuted it, "In the palace during the Tianxi period, there is no queen mother!" ”
The momentum of Lu Gong's book is high, but Wang Jue is also the first time to act like a prime minister today, and he sank his face: "Wang Jue has heard of it, and Gong Bao has ruled "Spring and Autumn". I don't know what Lu Gongbao thinks of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan. Zheng Zhuang's treatment of Gongshu Duan, is it right or wrong? ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all shocked. Wang Jue's metaphor is so ruthless! Han Gang was frightened, and looked at Prime Minister Wang Dacheng in surprise and inexplicably, and said in his heart that he really dared to say it.
Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan, the most famous public case in the first year of "Spring and Autumn", is the story of Zheng Zhuanggong and his mother Wu Jiang and his younger brother Uncle Duan.
Wu Jiang had a difficult birth when he was born Zheng Zhuang, so he hated this eldest son, and liked his youngest son, Gongshu Duan. When Gongshu Duan became an adult, he coveted the position of the monarch and kept making small moves, but Zheng Zhuanggong has always been tolerant, and even gave him the best fief. It was not until Gongshu Duan, with the support of Wu Jiang, raised the banner of rebellion, that Zheng Zhuanggong rebelled against the army, defeated Gongshu Duan's rebels, and imprisoned Wu Jiang.
In the eyes of the Confucian scholars of the past dynasties, even though Wu Jiang and Gongshu Duan had this incident, Zheng Zhuanggong's fault was not light. has a younger brother who does not teach, and the connivance is too much, which is also the reason why Gongshu Duan dares to rebel. Therefore, the master spoke in a small way and used the word 'gram' to express his dissatisfaction with Zheng Zhuanggong.
Wang Jue's metaphor is tantamount to saying that Zhao Ji deliberately let the queen instead of the queen curtain hang in order to avoid this ending. But using Wu Jiang and Gongshu Duan to describe Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Hao, if there is no corresponding behavior, it is extremely vicious slander.
Cai Qu looked back and found that Zhao Hao couldn't even stand on his feet, holding the back of the chair where Empress Dowager Gao was just sitting, and the whole person was trembling.
Cai did only feel that his thoughts had become a mess. Before he entered the palace, something must have happened in the Funing Palace, and only Wang Qi, Xue Xiang, Han Gang and Zhang Qi, who were in the Suzhi Palace, knew about the Dao.
It's just that Cai really can't figure it out, if before the few of them go home and come back, they have already made a decision on the current arrangement of the Son of Heaven. Why did the emperor want the queen to hang the curtain, Wang Qi and Xue Xiang would be so surprised? And the Queen Mother should have left a long time ago. And what about the palace guard written by Lu Gong?
I can't figure it out. Cai really wanted to hit his head with a hammer and knock out the inspiration.
Zhang Dian also turned his gaze to the left and right suspiciously, wanting to find something on the faces of Wang Qi and Empress Xiang. He was about to stand up and make a statement, but Wang Jue's words shocked him and shrank his feet. Wang Jue's words are tantamount to convicting Empress Dowager Gao and King Yong, not just to refute Lu Gong's writings. What happened to make Wang Jue, the unsliding Zhibao Dan, so eager to show his loyalty?
Lu Gongzhu also saw it, and glared fiercely at the second king, who had lost his soul, "Even if the Queen Mother has been, she can persuade her privately, where can she make it known to the whole city." How can there be any reason in this world to expose the mistakes of parents?! ”
I see. Han Gang understood it.
In the past, Duke Lu asked the queen mother to hang the curtain, but now that the situation has changed, it is inconvenient to change her words immediately. If you are tough on what is wrong, you can also win a straight name. However, Lu Gong kept saying that he did not leave the face of filial piety and the queen mother, and the direction of the door obviously turned to the means used by Zhao Ji, rather than the content of his edict.
Han Gang secretly pouted, compared to this old slippery head who has become a fine, his own family still has to be honed.
Empress Xiang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, got up at this time and faced the courtiers with the highest status in the court: "Bachelor Han has a saying, Yaozhou, Shaanxi, and Qizhou, Hebei, there are two Medicine King Temples that are very effective, and if there are relatives to pray for blessings, it may have miraculous effects." Dare to ask Lu Gongbao, I don't know if these two close relatives should go or not? ”
There was a sudden silence in the dormitory.
"Good means!" Zhangdun muttered.
Cai Qu and Han Zhen also immediately raised their eyes to look at Han Gang, with only shock in their eyes.
The three of them are all human spirits, and they can think through at once.
Lu Gongzhu was also arrogant, and he was stunned for a moment. looked at Zhao Hao, then looked at Han Gang, and turned back in disbelief: "Could it be that the Queen Mother ......?"
"The fault of the elders, how dare you say that you are the juniors?" Xiang Empress has a tough attitude.
has the support of her husband inside, and several important ministers such as Zaizhi and Han Gang outside, and also grasps the handle of the Queen Mother and King Yong, and suddenly becomes full of confidence.
Lu Gongzhu lowered his head: "The minister has nothing to say." ”
Even though he had already succumbed to it and just wanted to maintain his dignity, he never expected that the nature of the matter would be so serious.
If what the queen says is true. If this matter spreads, no one can say that the Son of Heaven is not, but will accuse the Queen Mother of ignorance and King Yong's bad intentions. Based on the performance of the Queen Mother and King Yong tonight, Wang Qi used Wu Jiang and Gongshu Duan as a metaphor, and there were not too many inappropriate places.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see Han Gang's toes, and Lu Gong was panicking in his heart. Everything at the moment is the result of this irrigation child.
With Lu Gong's intelligence, even if he only has a few words to the queen, he can figure out what is going on.
The same words are not the same for different people. If it is persuaded by himself in private, even if it is a little difficult, it is still possible to make the Queen Mother nod and agree, and let the two princes go out to pray for the Son of Heaven. But if Han Gang opened his mouth, then in the ears of the Empress Dowager Gao, there were only four words - harboring evil intentions.
Lu Gong asked himself, in other words, he also had to play the drum in his heart. Could it be that Han Gang's plan is just to let people out of Beijing? Won't you do anything along the way? Even if the Son of Heaven doesn't do it, there will be people who want to share the worries of the Son of Heaven!
But how can this thought be made public, how can it be trusted by the world? People will only say that Empress Dowager Gao is too partial and wants to take advantage of the eldest son's serious illness to let her favorite second son occupy the throne. When Shilin Qingyi and the people's hearts are all on the side of the Son of Heaven and the queen, then the queen mother and King Yong will not be able to turn over no matter what.
This opportunity was brought by Han Gang, and it was Han Gang who allowed the Son of Heaven to confidently hand over the qualifications of the power to listen to the government, without worrying about the backlash in the court, let alone the undercurrent in the palace - the hearts of the people are back, and after tonight, the queen can easily control the inside and outside of the palace.
Lu Gong was speechless.
Han Gang withdrew his gaze from Lu Gongzhu. Judging from his reaction, there should be no backlash from the government and the opposition, and at most there will be a little noise.
Although tonight is full of twists and turns, there is still a perfect ending after all.
Why should the old party be used, because the Queen Mother will hang the curtain.
Why should you ignore years of hard work, because the Queen Mother will hang the curtain.
For what to endure humiliation, because the Queen Mother will hang the curtain.
The reason why Zhao Ji dragged the stump and schemed in every possible way was that the root was in the Queen Mother.
As long as the queen mother can't hang the curtain and then control the court, then the old party can't come to power, the new law won't be abolished, and King Yong can only go home and think about it behind closed doors.
When power falls into the hands of the queen, the status of the queen mother in the palace will be reduced, and the safety of the prince will be more guaranteed. In other words, the queen mother hangs the curtain and listens to the government, so in the harem, the queen has no place to stand, and as for Zhao Maid, she can only entrust her life to the queen mother's mind.
So Han Gang had to take a gamble.
Proposing that the two kings go out of Beijing is not so much to drive people out, but to force Zhao Ji and Empress Dowager Gao to tear their faces. deliberately aroused the anger of the Empress Dowager Gao, so that Zhao Ji understood that compromise and concession would not lead to good results.
Unity is sought through compromise, and unity cannot exist. Seeking unity through struggle...... There is no need for unity now.
It is not difficult to arouse the wrath of the Queen Mother. Han Gang has always known that the Queen Mother hates herself. This is not surprising, if the reputation of his favorite son is ruined, and he is ridiculed by the world day by day, Han Gang will never spare it. Therefore, anything he says will be distorted into a plot with ulterior motives if it falls into the ears of the Queen Mother.
And on the Son of Heaven's side, he doesn't need Zhao Ji to do anything to the Queen Mother. On the one hand, Han Gang will definitely be heavily responsible, so that most of the only son's life is difficult to protect, and on the other hand, it is just to contradict his mother and not hurt his life. Needless to say, which is more important. As long as Zhao Ji can think about it, as long as he dares to think about it, it is inevitable to make the decision that Han Gang wants.
It's just that Empress Dowager Gao's reaction was so fierce that she forced the Son of Heaven to make a painful decision, which still exceeded Han Gang's expectations. even made him secretly frightened, the hatred that Empress Dowager Gao had hidden in her heart did not know how much she had accumulated, I am afraid that she had already regarded herself as an enemy, once she hung the curtain, the result would be really worrying.
Fortunately, I gambled on this, and fortunately, the opponent was a menopausal old lady.
The ending was almost perfect, and Han Gang's thoughts had already flown to tomorrow...... It should be today's morning upward.
The news of Zai Zhiqi's entry into the palace must have spread, and the news that Lu Gongzhu was named the crown prince and Taibao must not be kept secret, but no one will know the specific details.
At that time, there will be no less fun in the court.
Han Gang thought with a little malice.
