Chapter Ninety-Seven: Consultation

The emperor didn't say anything. Cheng's answer was very simple, in this matter, he didn't dare to say one more word, no, half a word.

Pei Shu is a little anxious, there are only a few impeachments now, if the emperor still doesn't express his position, I'm afraid there will be more sparse performances in the future, and things will be even more difficult to clean up.

"What the hell does the emperor think, Father-in-law Cheng, there are only a few copies now, and we can still hold it down, if there is no more expression, there will be more later!"

"Master Pei, when you see the emperor, you can ask the emperor directly, I know. ”

Pei Shu saw that Cheng's father-in-law was closing the door tightly, so he didn't ask anymore, but kept sighing. Seeing this, he saw a clue, since Cheng's father-in-law didn't dare to say anything, it showed that the matter was big and the origin was not trivial, so he made up his mind not to speak.

After waiting for a while, there was movement in the room, Cheng's father-in-law hurriedly went in, and after a while, he came out and asked Pei Shu and Juyi to go in.

Emperor Taiding asked the two of them to get up with a hint of sadness: "I called you here today, there are three wills, Pei Shu, you draft them." ”

Pei Shu hurriedly sat down behind the bookcase, looked up at Emperor Taiding, and Emperor Taiding said slowly: "First, during my illness, the crown prince will supervise the country, except for important personnel adjustments, other matters can be decided by the prince. ”

Pei Shu was stunned, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, he fully knew the shock of this edict to the court situation, how could the emperor let the prince supervise the country at this time, some time ago, the emperor's illness was more serious, and he did not let the prince supervise the country, but on the contrary, he let the prince go out to inspect the Chen country, and now his condition looks better, but let the prince supervise the country, this ...... , what is the emperor's idea?

Secondly, the argument that the brother is the end of the brother is very loud, and many old and important ministers of the court believe that the king of Qi should succeed to the throne. In the history of the Great Jin Imperial Capital, the matter of brother ending brother and brother has happened four times, and the wise and martial Emperor Wu is succeeded by his younger brother.

The emperor let the crown prince supervise the country, which was a clear signal, telling the courtiers that this matter had been decided, and the throne did not have the share of King Qi, what did this mean to King Qi and those ministers who supported King Qi? Pei Shu knew it with his toes.

"The second thing, Ju Yu is loyal to the country, and he is outstanding, and from now on, Ju Yu will serve as a scholar and participate in the handling of government affairs. ”

Pei Shu shook his hand, and the pen almost fell, Shang Shu's deputy shot is Shang Shuling's deputy, and it has been vacant for several years, but he didn't think that the emperor was promoted today, and he was promoted.

Loyalty to the country, sentences are just a wall of grass, take refuge in eunuchs, see the wind and rudder, such a thing is not bad, loyal to the country, loyal to the official is almost the same.

Talent is outstanding, that's even more of a joke, Shangshutai has seven Shangshu, and the talent of sentence recitation ranks seventh, in addition to the franchise, whether it is poetry and songs, or dealing with government affairs, it is ranked seventh.

More crucially, the last sentence is to participate in the government, which means that the sentence has now entered the small institution of the four of them, and has entered the highest power level of the empire.

Ju Yi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he knelt on the ground, choked up and said: "The emperor's holy body is not safe, and he still thinks about the ministers, ministers, ministers, only bow and do his best, and his liver and brain are smeared!"

"Get up," Emperor Taiding sighed, and comforted him warmly: "Over the years, I have worked hard for you, and I have wronged you, Shang Shufu has been empty for a long time, you make up for it today, and you must assist the prince well." ”

"The minister must live up to the expectations of the saint!" The sentence fell to the ground and choked up, Emperor Taiding comforted a few words, Pei Shu's mood was even more turbulent, in the past, Shang Shutai lacked servants, and Shang Shutai was completely under his control, but now with Shang Shu's servants, he divided his power, and, according to his observations, although this sentence has no talent, he is a good hand at fighting for power, and he can use any indiscriminate means.

However, if you want to oppose it, it will inevitably give the emperor a bad impression, which means that he still wants to dominate Shangshutai.

Pei Shu thought about countermeasures while writing, he was a quick thinker, and he came up with three or four countermeasures in the blink of an eye, but if you think about it carefully, none of them are suitable, and they all have a lot of troubles.

The two holy decrees were quickly drafted, Pei Shu brought them to Emperor Taiding, Emperor Taiding looked at them carefully, nodded slightly, and Pei Shu handed the holy decree to Cheng's father-in-law: "Please use the seal." ”

Xiao Chengzi took the holy decree and put it on the bookcase, took out a yellow box from the desk on the side, opened the box, took out the jade seal with both hands, and printed it on the holy decree in a dignified manner.

The moment Ju Yi saw the jade seal fall on the Holy Decree, his heart suddenly fell, and he knew that from this moment on, he had finally reached the peak of imperial power.

"Your Majesty, what is the third will?" Pei Shu was a little disappointed, but he still remembered what Emperor Taiding said just now, there are three wills.

"The prince is young and not familiar with government affairs, so I decided to set up auxiliary ministers, set up four first, Pan Lian, Zuo Chen, you Pei Shu, plus Gan Tang, you four. ”

Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, the king of Qi was excluded from the auxiliary ministers and replaced by the crown prince Taibao Zuochen, and now the emperor's meaning was obvious, the imperial throne would pass to the crown prince instead of the king of Qi.

Ju Yu also silently calculated in his heart, there was no King Qi among the auxiliary ministers, which made him very happy, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the King of Qi looked down on him, some time ago, the King of Qi took over the throne with a high voice, and the ministers avoided him like a plague, and now he became a powerful Shangshu servant, but the King of Qi lost the auxiliary minister, and he estimated that the King of Qi would soon lose the position of Taiwei.

Pei Shu drafted the holy decree, Cheng's father-in-law stamped it, Emperor Taiding sighed a little tiredly, and said to Pei Shu: "The third one will be left first, and the first two will be sent immediately, and then, you can go back, Ju Aiqing stay, and accompany me to talk." ”

"The minister obeyed the order and retired. Pei Shu withdrew with a heavy heart, today the emperor did not have the intention of discussing with him at all, and came up and directly announced the three wills, which will completely knock the king of Qi into the dust, he believes that as soon as the two wills in his arms are announced, the so-called brother and brother will disappear tomorrow.

It's just that why he wants to promote the sentence at this time? This made him wonder.

What's even worse is the third holy decree, which clearly declares that the king of Qi has no play, not only the throne has no play, but even the center has no play.

Although the King of Qi is said to be the captain and controls the military power in the world, the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Imperial Palace are all in the hands of the emperor's cronies, in addition, there is also internal guard monitoring, it can be said that as long as the emperor is not dead, there will be no rebellion in the imperial capital.

Gonggong Cheng gave Ju Yi an embroidery pier, Ju Yi thanked him first, and then sat down obliquely, Emperor Taiding's eyes were gentle: "What have you been busy with lately?

"I haven't had a lot going on lately. "To tell the truth, he is just an ordinary scholar, the emperor is sick, there are not many wills, and it is not his turn to draft a will, as for the consultation, he can't even see the emperor's face, let alone the consultation.

"Yes, because of my illness, Shangshutai is relatively idle, and the six departments of the imperial court, Gan Tang will naturally not let you interfere," Speaking of this, Emperor Taiding's tone suddenly changed: "How is King Qi lately?"

Ju Yu's expression was calm, but he was secretly happy in his heart, King Qi is okay? What does this mean, naturally he is not asking if he is in good health, he realizes that this is an opportunity, but how to say it? After all, King Qi is the emperor's own brother, so it is difficult to say this.

"The king of Qi is still in good health, the ministers are very convinced, the prince is a corporal, loves the nurses, and has a deep heart," the sentence said while looking at Emperor Taiding's expression, he was very keenly aware that when he said that he was deeply hearted, a trace of worry flashed in Emperor Taiding's eyes, so he had the bottom in his heart, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty just said that the prince will be in charge of the country, but the minister is worried that if the king of Qi is on his side, with the prestige of the prince in the court, the prince's actions will inevitably be restricted." ”

"Didn't he have to be an assistant to the government anymore? Emperor Taiding said.

"As a member of the clan, the King of Qi is also an acting lieutenant, controlling military power, even if there is no auxiliary government, the influence of the court exceeds that of the four auxiliary ministers. Ju Yu explained in a low voice, Emperor Taiding didn't speak, his face became even more gloomy, and before he finished his sentence, he added: "Even the prince." ”

The room fell into a deathly silence, and Cheng's father-in-law stood on the side, listening to the words in horror, looking at Emperor Taiding's expression.

"Then what should I do?" Emperor Taiding sighed, at this moment, he understood Emperor Taiding's thoughts, the position of the crown prince had been decided, he wanted to cut the influence of King Qi, but he didn't want to hurt King Qi, which is why the first two holy decrees were issued immediately, but the last one was left, and he immediately understood what to do.

"Your Majesty, King Qi is famous all over the world, but for the sake of the court situation, the minister thinks that the emperor can reward the king of Qi again, divide the vassal kingdom to the king of Qi, and then let the king of Qi become a vassal country, so that the prince can smoothly control the court situation. ”

Emperor Taiding didn't speak, after a while, he closed his eyes, Cheng Gonggong whispered to tell Ju Yi that he could retreat, Ju Cheng hurriedly got up and knocked goodbye to Emperor Taiding, and exited Yawen Pavilion according to the rules of etiquette.

Waiting out of the Yawen Pavilion, Ju Yi was so excited that he almost couldn't control himself, he understood that the emperor was suspicious of King Qi, once King Qi became a vassal, the entire court situation immediately changed greatly, Ju Yi faintly felt that the personnel adjustment in the court was probably just beginning, and he would not be long in office.

The Qiu family's manor in the imperial capital is not in the city, although the Qiu family also has a house in the city, but Qiuyun did not choose to live there, but chose to live in the Ningcui Villa on the edge of the Yi River in the west of the city.

The manor is very large, covering an extremely wide area, Qiu Yun and his more than 20 family Ding guards are fully loaded, still empty, the housekeeper of the manor is the old man of the Qiu family, who stays in the imperial capital all the year round, before Qiu Yun went out to Liangzhou, he lived in this manor, the housekeeper is still this old housekeeper, he knows more about Qiu Yun's habits, and after getting the news that Qiu Yun wants to live here, he immediately rearranged the entire manor.

Rumors about Qiuyun spread in the court, but Qiuyun didn't seem to hear it, and he read books and danced swords in the garden every day, and he didn't seem to know what was going on outside.

What makes the Qiu family even more incomprehensible is that not only Qiu Yun is not in a hurry, but even Qiu Ge is not in a hurry, Qiu Ge does not live in the manor, he uses the excuse that he wants to study scriptures with Taixue Zhongren, he hides in the city, and refuses to come back as soon as he lives.

There are not many officials in the Qiu clan in the court, and most of the official positions are not high, and the third grade worker Cao Senate Qiu Yi is considered high, and the remaining one is the light car captain Qiu Shuang who serves as an idle position, this Qiu Shuang has never been on the battlefield, let alone riding a horse, even if he carries a knife, he has not carried it a few times, and he is a school captain.

The descendants of the Shi clan are generally born with official positions, as they grow older, or the elders of the family have made meritorious deeds, the court generally has to favor the children of the clan, when Qiuyun made great achievements in the world, the court rewarded, Qiuyun did not give his two sons, but gave it to the children of the clan, this Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yi are the beneficiaries.

The courtiers were impeached, and Qiu Yi informed Qiu Yun almost immediately, Qiu Yun is now the leader of the Qiu clan, and no one dares to underestimate the Zhongshan Qiu family with him, so no matter what, the Qiu family must keep Qiu Yun.
