"Too. Emperor Zu Gao once instructed that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, although the status of the imperial concubine Niangniang is high, but it is from the harem, this move violates the ancestral teachings, Niangniang or please go back! The second assistant Mao Yirong said fiercely, he is currently acting as the first assistant, and naturally he has to speak on behalf of the cabinet.

Mao Yirong was born in Jishi, has been an official of the Ministry of Rites in the officialdom for decades, and attaches great importance to etiquette, so Wei Yunqing, a harem woman, wants to violate the ancestral training to interfere in politics, so he will naturally be severely opposed.

Behind the curtain, Wei Yunqing's calm voice came: "It's Mao Yirong who speaks?" ”

"Hmph, it's Mao." Mao Yirong snorted coldly.

Wei Yunqing said with a smile: "Lord Mao, you really misunderstood, the palace will be here, not on behalf of the palace itself, but from the emperor's will." The emperor is not in good health, it is not appropriate to overwork, the palace is to listen to the deliberations on behalf of the emperor, and finally it is presented to the emperor, if there are any instructions, it is also ordered by the emperor, and the palace is just a rumor. ”

The so-called "emperor's poor health" is naturally an excuse in the ears of the ministers, after so many years, everyone knows that Yang Yi does not like to deal with political affairs. But she said this beautifully, and they had no room for refutation - she came up to listen to political affairs on behalf of the emperor, and she didn't discuss matters or give orders, so what kind of politics did she have?

Without waiting for the ministers to come up with a specific reason to get rid of her, Wei Yunqing smiled again: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if this palace is considered a harem government...... And how? Is the chamberlain a harem person? The celebrant is now in control of the recitals you present to the emperor, so is it not considered to be a political interference? Since you allow these harem attendants to interfere in politics, why can't you allow this palace to be a messenger? Comparatively speaking, what this palace has done is really insignificant! ”

Wei Yunqing's words were red for several cabinet ministers. Naked taunts.

Too. When Emperor Zu Gao first set the ancestral training, he absorbed the disadvantages of the previous dynasty due to the death of his relatives, not only set the rules that the harem concubines were selected by the poor family, but also strictly set the harem not to interfere in politics, which naturally includes the inner servants. In order to avoid the chaos of the inner servants, Emperor Gao also ordered the inner servants not to read and write. But the so-called emperor ancestral training is not omnipotent, every new emperor is the son of heaven who is high up and in power, if he really wants to change the ancestral system, who can stop it? From generation to generation, first the chamberlain was given the opportunity to study, and secondly, the power of the celebrant became more and more powerful, and finally he became the emperor's right-hand man against the former courtiers. If the emperor himself is famous enough, the inner servants are suppressed by the emperor, and they will not make any big waves, but will become a powerful tool for the imperial power to fight against the relative power. Yang Yi is a powerful representative of the latter.

Everyone knows that the so-called ancestral training is just a joke now, and no one will mention it without eyes, but Wei Yunqing just mentioned it, and they couldn't refute it. Say Zu Xun is a fart? That's too. The rules set by Emperor Zugao, who dares to be disrespectful to this? But once the son of heaven and a courtier, he really dared to use Zu Xun to suppress the current emperor, obviously he was either crazy or stupid. Several ministers who are still in the cabinet are neither crazy nor stupid, but they also cannot refute Wei Yunqing's accusations.

They were lying a little wronged, and when the celebrant became the channel between the emperor and the cabinet, even the oldest of them had not yet been born.

Wei Yunqing doesn't care about that, if she really wants to talk about it, even mentioning the matter of the celebrant is her sophistry. Others eat. Is she going to eat? It's just that they are bullying these ministers for their bad logic and are not good at debating.

"The old man is not feeling well today, come back another day, take the first step, a few adults, please take care of yourself." Mao Yirong saw that he couldn't say anything about Wei Yunqing, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and simply left after his illness.

Wei Yunqing didn't stop him, and then several ministers also fell ill and left one after another. And Wei Yunqing only asked Cao Jun to quietly call back Wen Huai, who was pretending to walk slowly at the end, as if he was ready to come back at any time.

"Niangniang, what do you mean by this?" After all, Wen Huai and Wei Yunqing have known each other for a long time, and they have some friendship, and they have a common goal - to teach Yang Yi to be a good emperor - so he spoke a little casually, "Although you have won the advantage of your tongue today, but after the other adults go back, they will definitely write to the emperor and ask you to leave the cabinet, if the emperor does not agree, they will inevitably be sick at home, ignore the government and politics, and then there will be a backlog of state affairs, but there will be a big problem!" ”

"Lord Wen, please rest assured, I have already considered this matter." Wei Yunqing said.

Wen Huai's heart was slightly relieved: "I don't know what Niangniang's plans are?" ”

He thought that her consideration was nothing more than to leave the cabinet and invite a few adults back. After all, the cabinet is full of humerus ministers, where can a woman be allowed to listen from above? Even if she's just a messenger!

"They were going to complain, and they were healed. Let the emperor handle this state affairs by himself. Wei Yunqing said with a smile.

Wen Huai was stunned.

"Mother, this ...... That's unacceptable! ”

Wei Yunqing pretended to be puzzled: "Why can't you do it?" ”

Wen Huai opened his mouth and didn't speak. Everyone knows that the emperor doesn't care about anything! Once all the people in this cabinet are sick, the supreme authority of Daliang will be paralyzed, and it will be a big mess!

"Master Wen, don't worry, nothing big can happen." Wei Yunqing smiled again, "Besides, isn't there still you, Lord Wen?" I see that you are in good health, and I don't think you will go home sick. ”

Wen Huai wanted to say no, he knew that if he did it against other ministers, he would be despised and isolated by everyone, but Wei Yunqing was different after all, she was the person who entrusted everything to Lord Sun when he was dying, even if it was for Lord Sun, he had to help her.

"Wechen...... Since the work of dogs and horses. Wen Huai sighed helplessly.

Wei Yunqing smiled and said, "Master Wen, don't be so desperate. Instead of holding on to the tragedy of advancing and retreating with me, it is better to go back and persuade the other adults. ”

"Alas, you don't know, mother. These adults are stubborn, how can Weichen make sense in one or two sentences? Wen Huai's face was sad.

Wei Yunqing walked out from behind the curtain, looked at Wen Huai and said with a smile: "Master Wen, if you go directly to persuade you, it will naturally not work, but you can say it another way." ”

"In other words?" Wen Huai didn't figure it out.

Wei Yunqing pointed to Cao Jun on the side: "You can borrow the name of Grandpa Cao." ”

Wen Huai was still dazed, looking at Wei Yunqing in confusion.

Cao Jun smiled on his face, and his heart also swelled up with a little puzzlement.

Wei Yunqing lived up to expectations and said solemnly: "The emperor obviously wants me to be the microphone, but in fact, it was Gonggong Cao who instigated the emperor's decree, in order to gain the power to fight against Zheng Xiang, he deliberately borrowed me to get close to the ministers of the cabinet, wanting to encroach on Zheng Xiang's power step by step, and after today's meeting, Gonggong Cao also deliberately found you, curried favor with you, and wanted to become an ally with you. Of course, Lord Wen, you righteously rejected him. However, I also learned about it. Curtain. ”

Wen Huai stared at Wei Yunqing, and then turned his gaze to Cao Jun on the side. The latter was also a little surprised, and looked at Wei Yunqing blankly-Niangniang, what are you telling the truth! How can the slave and your plan be said in front of Wen Huai, not to mention that many of them are completely reversed!

Wei Yunqing smiled innocently under the surprised gaze of the two: "Both, what's the problem?" ”

"Mother, you ...... This...... The slave doesn't have that mind! Cao Jun had to explain dryly.

Wei Yunqing nodded solemnly: "I know, and Master Wen also knows." ”

Wen Huai was stunned - what do I know?

Wei Yunqing continued: "That's just a statement for those adults. I think they are also dissatisfied with Zheng Xiang, right? Once they heard that Gonggong Cao was the mastermind behind the scenes, thinking that they liked the battle between Gonggong Cao and Zheng Xiang, could they still remember that I was still a person in the harem who was not allowed to interfere in politics? ”

All dealings can be boiled down to profit. The family and the country are in great interest, and personal selfish interests cannot escape a single word of benefit. Once she was in the cabinet, it would be of great benefit to the cabinet lords, and she did not believe that they would refuse such a great temptation. Only by pushing the boat down the river can the benefits be maximized.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Cao Jun immediately praised, "Niangniang is really smart. In this way, only the reputation of the slave and maid can be sacrificed to get the ministers to agree to this, and the slave and maid will naturally not be so ignorant. He turned to Wen Huai and said with a smile, "Lord Wen, what Fang Cai Niangniang said, even if you say it to a few adults, for the sake of me, why should I let it go?" ”

Wei Yunqing glanced at Cao Jun quietly, this person really knew how to hit snakes with sticks, saying that he was fat, he was really panting. His behavior, by analogy, is: a thief obviously stole something, but pretended not to steal in front of a policeman, and tragically asked the policeman to tell his companion that he really stole it.

"So...... Is it really possible? Wen Huai was moved by Cao Jun's righteousness, and only the last trace of hesitation was left in his heart.

Wei Yunqing said with a smile: "There is no 100% certainty that anything can be done, just do your best." But I believe that Master Wen, as long as you do what I tell you, things can basically be done. ”

Wen Huai was silent for a while, then nodded: "When Lord Sun was still alive, it was difficult for Zheng Xiang's eunuch to do something dirty, but as soon as Lord Sun died, Zheng Xiang had nothing to fear. Now he is making things difficult for the cabinet in every way, and Master Mao has already been so angry that he has secretly scolded him many times, if he continues like this, the cabinet will sooner or later become a nominal place. Thinking about it, knowing that Gonggong Cao had plans to compete with Zheng Xiang for power, Lord Mao and they would be very happy and sit back and watch the snipe and clam fight. 166 Reading Network
