Chapter 482: The Empress Is Unfair
"Zhang Changzhi leads the way!"
Cui Geng was not afraid, first ordered the female soldiers to go back with the money, and then came to Tongtian Palace with Zhang Changzong.
After listening to Zhang Changzong explain the cause and effect of the matter, Her Majesty seemed to have a vague understanding of something.
It's clear who is right and who is wrong.
Regardless of whether Chengjun Prison occupies the Yamen of the Right Control Crane Prison, Cui Geng should only solve it through proper channels.
Assaulting prisoners, or even auctioning off their belongings, is of course a serious crime.
Especially to strip and hang up the dignified Chengjun Supervisor Ye Zheng Su, it is a big mistake, even if Lai Junchen was not so arrogant at the beginning.
But, then again, Cui Geng is not stupid, why did he do this? It must be a reason for the three hundred female soldiers to leave the court.
Well, this Cui Erlang is really not bad, if I use other reasons to drive him out of the court, others will definitely say that I am a dumb king without a way - in the name of reward, it is not very appropriate to let Cui Geng take a holiday, and it will inevitably give people the impression that I have deprived Cui Geng of his power.
Only when Cui Geng took the initiative to do something wrong, I could borrow the slope to get off the donkey and punish Cui Geng a little.
Thinking of this, Her Majesty the Empress said with a kind face: "Cui Aiqing, why are you so impulsive today?" I allow you to defend yourself! ”
"Yes, Weichen thinks that Cheng Junjian can't change it anymore!"
Cui Geng recalled the records of later generations, and said with a straight face: "The customs are immersed in Confucianism, and the way of the first kings is not talked about." It is advisable to order the children of the prince and below to enter the country to study, and not to listen to other paths. Also, since Yang and Yu, the prison system has become more and more complicated, and the cool officials have taken advantage of the ...... Looking forward to the benevolence of His Majesty in heaven and earth, since the arch has been hanging, the sins are not serious, and they are all cleared...... In this way, the world knows that the past is in vain, not His Majesty's will, it is all the innocent of the prison officials, and the light is happy, and the feeling is harmonious. ””
These words are the original words of the famous "Wei Si Li's Admonition to Wu Hou Shu".
According to the normal development of history, in another year, Wei Si, a member of the Fengge House, will make such a concert, asking Wu Zetian to reform into a junjian.
The general meaning of this note is that both the teachers and the students are rotten now. The most important thing Wu Zetian should do now is to fire all those prisoners, as well as the priests and doctors.
Then, re-appoint the wise priests and doctors.
As for the students, on the one hand, let the children of the heroes be re-admitted to Chengjun Prison. On the other hand, as compensation, the children of the ministers who were unjustly killed by the cool officials were admitted to study in Chengjun.
Although this suggestion was too radical to be adopted, both Her Majesty the Empress herself and the ministers of the court and the central government appreciated it, so much so that Wei Sili became famous in the first battle, so much so that this note was recorded in the history books in full.
Wu Zetian had already looked at Cui Geng with his eyes, but after listening to this suggestion, he looked at him even more pleasing to the eye, and said: "Cui Aiqing is in charge of the Writings Bureau and the Right Control Crane Prison, and he is also worried about the affairs of Cheng Jun Prison for me, which is really loyal and commendable." ”
Cui Geng bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty has praised it." Chengjun Prison hides filth and dirt, which greatly damages His Majesty's reputation, and I also ask Your Majesty to quickly issue an order to reform Chengjun Prison from now on! ”
"Is this...... The stakes are high...... Rong Zhen thought twice. ”
Zhang Changzong was dumbfounded when he saw Wu Zetian's posture, what's the matter? Originally, he took advantage of himself and wanted to sue Cui Geng. How did it become a normal monarch and minister to play it right now? Moreover, it seems that His Majesty still admires Cui Geng very much! How can this be true?!
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are not deceived by Cui Erlang. Now it is not to discuss the issue of the restructuring of Chengjun Prison, but the issue of him Cui Geng beating the prisoners and selling the prisoners' property privately! By the way, he also instructed others to pick up Zheng Yu Zheng Siye ~ naked and hang him up, what kind of system! ”
Cui Geng rolled his eyes and said, "If it weren't for you, Zhang Chang, would Zheng Su be able to stay in the prince's left prison and lead the mansion without leaving?" If you want to cure the sins of this official, you Zhang Changshou will not be able to escape the blame! ”
"How can that be the same?"
"How is it different? Now who doesn't know that you Zhang Chang is misleading the country, is it still that I wronged you? ”
As he spoke, Cui Geng knelt on the ground and said, "Wechen's right-hand control of the Crane Prison Yamen has been established for half a year, but he has not been able to return to the Yamen to work. This is all the fault of Zhang Changshi, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime according to the law! ”
Zhang Changzong also knelt on the ground and said: "Cheng Jun Jian invaded the Yamen of the Right Control Crane Prison, Wei Chen doesn't know anything, now please Your Majesty first treat Cui Geng's crime of beating the prisoner and Zheng Siye." ”
Seeing that both sides want Wu Zetian to make the final judgment.
Zhang Changzong thought that he was the pillow person of Mrs. Wu, but this time he took advantage of it again, and he would definitely win, and a smug smile had already appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But how did he know that Cui Geng had already been vaccinated at Wu Zetian's place!
But I heard the old lady Wu say: "I'm tired, I can't hear what the two of you said, I can't hear it clearly." Now, when you go back, write a chapter of this chapter, and I will make a decision!" Stand down. ”
Yes? How could it be so obvious that the empress was so clear that she had a thin mud?
Zhang Changzong was dumbfounded.
……
……
The content of the court dispute between Cui Geng and Zhang Changzong spread out, and the entire Luoyang officialdom suddenly set off an uproar~ wave!
What's going on?
This Cui Geng is too awesome, in this case, he broke his wrist with Zhang Changzong, and it turned out to be a tie! Doesn't that mean...... Is his Saint still on top of the two?
In addition, Cui Geng's suggestion about Cheng Junjian was also circulated in officialdom. People think this suggestion is very good, and it is worthy of Cui Qingtian, who is famous all over the world, and many people have written to express their support.
If the enemy supports us, we will oppose it, and those henchmen of Zhang Changzong will stand on the opposite side of Cui Geng.
Don't think that Erzhang has no power in the court, in fact, it's a big mistake! Others don't say it, in the prime minister's team, there are Su Wei and Li Qiao who took refuge in the two and shouted for him.
Lou Shide, a good old man in officialdom, remained neutral, Cui Yuanzong and Wei Yuanzhong supported Cui Geng, and the two sides were evenly matched.
In the end, Wu Zetian saw that it was not a matter and took the initiative to put forward Cui Geng's suggestion that it was too radical and not adopted.
It is said that this is also the proper meaning of the question, a single prisoner is nothing, but the entire Chengjun Prison has thousands of prisoners, and even Wu Zetian has to have some scruples.
In addition, Wu Zetian is enough to give Cui Geng face. But they didn't grant your advice, they didn't punish you, they didn't ask you to pay back the money to the prisoners.
However, this time, Cui Geng was really energetic, and he went to the table again, and if Her Majesty the Empress did not agree to his request, he would resign and not do it.
Cui Geng is crazy, and his cheap son Cui Yuanzong is even more crazy, and he also said that he would return to his hometown and swear not to stand with Zhang Changzong in the court.
In the end, Her Majesty the Empress said a lot of bad things, so that the old prime minister dispelled the idea of resigning and let him go to Puzhou to be an assassin.
Don't think this is derogatory, Puzhou is also Shangzhou, and the history of thorns is the third product. Now that there is a miasma in the court, even Li Qiao, who has always had a good reputation, has become Zhang Changzong's lackey, and Cui Yuanzong went to Puzhou to live for a long time, which is by no means a bad thing.
However, at the same time, Her Majesty the Empress was not so polite to Cui Geng, and issued an order to reprimand, saying that the courtiers threatened the monarch with resignation, which was disloyal. Whoever dares to chirp crookedly again will be punished according to the law.
As soon as this will was made, Cui Geng stopped for two days. But on the third day, he was a moth again.
Cui Geng went to the table again: Because the concubine Qin Yu'er at home was highly poisoned, she wanted to take a period of leave to find a famous doctor to treat her. In addition, in order to take care of Qin Yu'er, please allow your majesty to allow those female soldiers to accompany you.
Clear-eyed people know at a glance that Cui Geng is finding another way and complaining to Wu Zetian.
Didn't you forbid me to resign? You can't help it if I take a leave of absence, right? Of course, I'm afraid I'll really provoke you and cut off my head; Second, I'm afraid that you are really accurate and make me lose power. So, I'm very unruly, and I want to let those female soldiers go with me. You have reasoned with my recitals, and I have reached a point where I have expressed my grievances without really losing power.
However, Her Majesty's reaction seemed to have greatly surprised Cui Geng's expectations.
……
……
Inside the Imperial Palace, Yingxian Pavilion.
Zhang Yizhi said proudly: "Liulang, I said that you were completely worried, right?" You still don't believe it. Look at it now, Your Majesty has approved Cui Geng's leave. In this battle, we have won a big victory! I want to see, from now on, who else in this Great Zhou Dynasty will dare to go against our brothers? ”
Zhang Changzong smiled bitterly: "That's not true. I have just received news that Your Majesty has issued two more holy decrees today, the contents of which are very unfavorable to us. So...... We need to prepare! ”
"Huh? What is Your Majesty's decree? ”
