Chapter 71: Jinghua Clouds (Part 1)
Although the Jinling Imperial Palace was expanded from the Jinling Prefecture in the Yang and Wu period, it was majestic and magnificent, with the dragon and tiger spirit of the Daming Palace. This dynasty has always regarded itself as the orthodox of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Yu sat aside with a dejected look on his face.
Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are of great importance. Yesterday, King Liu Congxi of Jinjiang submitted a memorial to impeach the founding county duke of Donghai who had just taken office, Lu Ning, deputy envoy of the Qingyuan Army and governor of Zhangzhou, who was extremely debauchery and acted against each other, which aroused the anger of the military and civilians. The chaos in Zhangzhou broke out. The King of Jinjiang hurriedly wrote a memorial to impeach the ten crimes of Donghai Duke. He said that he would go to Zhangzhou to quell the civilian chaos and wait until everything was settled, and then report the details to the Emperor.
After receiving this memorial, the Holy Emperor Li Jing immediately summoned the main auxiliary ministers to discuss matters. Early this morning, he was dismissed from the morning court and only summoned the crown prince and the left and right prime ministers.
Li Yu was also called because when Donghai Duke Lu Ning did not experience hysteria, Li Yu had dated him.
The crown prince Li Jingsui, the crown prince's tutor, the left Pushe and the subordinate Pingzhang of the Secretariat, Feng Yansi, and the right Pushe and the subordinate Pingzhang of the Secretariat, Sun Sheng. These three can be said to be representatives of the three major political groups in the temple today.
Needless to say, the future heir to the throne.
The left prime minister Feng Yansi followed the Holy Emperor before he ascended the throne. He was very favored by the Holy Emperor. Although he was dismissed from office several times due to party struggles, he returned to prime minister several times. He was the real tumbler in the temple and formed a party with another powerful minister, Song Qiqiu. His two gangs were all over the court and the country.
The right prime minister Sun Sheng was famous for being upright and upright. The Yan King Party represented by him was also powerful and was mostly young and powerful ministers. He was extremely radical. He wrote letters several times to plead with the Holy Emperor to make the King of Yan the crown prince.
The crown prince Li Jing then resigned several times because of this. Every time the Yan King Party wrote a letter, the crown prince would resign once.
Feng Yansi and the Song Qiqiu party did not participate in the inheritance and unification, but other political affairs were incompatible with Sun Sheng and others. Therefore, to some extent, Feng and Song party were ally of the Crown Brother, but they were by no means staunch supporters of the Crown Brother.
In the temple, the relationship was extremely subtle. There were not many ministers who were as deeply involved in the dispute over the throne as Sun Sheng, and they were even more clear that there were no more ministers who would not give up until the chariot and horses were pulled down.
Even if the Holy Emperor intends to pass on the throne to his own son, it is probably very unpleasant to act like him.
In fact, Sun Sheng can already be regarded as escaping from death. Zhou army's southern expedition was unstoppable. Feng Yansi and Song Qiqiu's party had already instigated the Holy Emperor and sent Sun Sheng to the Zhou State to seek peace, but he did not want the battle in Shouzhou to reverse, so Sun Sheng and other envoys did not make a move.
Once the show is completed, only Lu Ning knows what the outcome will be. That is, he was beheaded by Master Zhou Guo Rong because he refused to disclose the secrets of the Southern Kingdom.
Sun Sheng didn't know that he had died once, and he was still fiercely criticizing Lu Ning. He said that this Donghai Gong had made a small contribution by chance. The Holy Emperor was so kind that he was granted a title of a marquis and even entrusted with the important task of a vassal state. However, he had just gone to Zhangzhou and made a mess of things and should be punished as a lock!
"Even if you want to be punished, you will have to save your life..." Feng Yansi curled his lips.
Li Yu also sighed deeply in his heart. Donghai Gong was a disaster for him. If he hadn't made friends with him, he wouldn't have been pushed into the pit of tigers and wolfs.
"However, this Donghai Gong is domineering. It is rumored that he set up many gambling games and forced good people to be slaves. He is already embarrassed. I wonder why Prime Minister Sun repeatedly recommended Donghai Gong to Zhangzhou?" Feng Yansi looked at Sun Sheng with a bright look.
It was Sun Sheng's heartbroken to elect Donghai Gong to Zhangzhou, but the King of Yan wrote from Runzhou and said kindly that forced him to do this against his will. At this time, he was criticized by Feng Yansi. He was stunned and snorted coldly: "It was Feng Xiang who heard the rumors that I heard a lot of listeners that I hoped that the trip to Zhangzhou would cause some hardships, and he also hoped that he could bring some changes to the two places of Quanzhou as he did in Shouzhou..."
Feng Yansi snorted coldly, but when he knew that Donghai Gong had moved to Zhangzhou, Sun Sheng strongly recommended him to the emperor, and he was instructed by the King of Yan. He could just point out his words and make the emperor feel a little disgusted with Sun Sheng. If he continues to investigate, he will offend the King of Yan.
Feng Yansi followed him and looked at Emperor Tang, "Your Majesty, Liu Congxiao is so ruthless. Although military and civilians must have caused trouble for the Donghai Gong to do something wrong, Liu Congxiao will inevitably add fuel to it. His memorial, what happened in a hurry, was to rush to Zhangzhou. In such a hurry, can you still count the ten major crimes of Donghai Gong? It's ridiculous! His heart is punishable!"
He snorted coldly again: "How long has this Donghai Gong been to Zhangzhou for so many reasons? Even if he escaped by luck, His Majesty should be punished heavily!"
The Crown Prince Li Jingsui also sighed softly at this time, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I know. When Your Majesty saw him that day, he saw that he was confused and soulless. I asked me to appreciate him carefully. It was my brother who saw that although he was chaotic, he did not lose his innocent heart. Who knew that he was rich and noble, and he was revealed. He always bet with others for 300,000 yuan, forced good people to be slaves, and forced officials to sell their property. Everything was my fault at the time. I thought that he would kill Guo Rong, and it was the spirit of Liezu in heaven. However, Liezu used Yimengman to show his spirit to kill the fake master to warn us that we must not forget our roots, but we would have misunderstood."
Li Yu heard these people verbally and sweated all over. Although several people had some secret struggles and regarded the King of Jinjiang as a rebellion, the three of them all fought against Donghai Gong in unison. With their words, they wanted to put Donghai Gong to death.
Li Yu secretly glanced at his expressionless father on the throne and sighed in his heart. It was really a wall that everyone pushed him. When the Duke of Donghai went to Zhangzhou with a sigh, his father was very happy, these people did not say a bad word to Duke of Donghai. Even Donghai made an undesirable memorial, asking his father to designate the two concubines "Madam Ru". The Duke of Daughter was amused. Not only did he allow the Duke of Donghai to register two slaves as mothers, but to a certain extent, when the Duke of Donghai gave the two concubines the identity of a seventh-rank imperial concubine, which of these people opposed it?
But now, the slightly mysterious bubble of the Donghai Gong has been burst, and now it is more likely that he will die in the chaos, and these people have dug out all the old accounts.
In fact, the Emperor of Donghai was more or less aware of his father's gambling, especially when he heard that the Emperor of Donghai accepted the sister of his concubine Ehuang as his adopted daughter. How could he hide such a thing from his father? But the Emperor of Dad felt it was extremely interesting and had no intention of seeing the blame.
If the father hadn't laughed at the fact that Donghai Gong accepted the Situ's daughter as her adopted daughter, and even used the word "interesting" to judge, how could the old Situ Zhouzong give up? How could he pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to know that the little girl was worshipping her adopted father?
Maybe it was because the trivial matters in the court were too tiring. It was rare that this dynasty had such an interesting minister, and he had made unparalleled contributions. His father liked Donghai Gong very much, and he often listened to his misconduct as interesting things.
However, when Donghai Gong encountered setbacks in Zhangzhou, he was afraid that everything would change.
"Congjia, you have met Donghai Gong who has not had any hysteria in the past. Tell me, how about Donghai Gong?"
Li Yu's heart immediately jumped, and looked at his father's majestic gaze. He didn't dare to look at each other, and lowered his head and said, "Son, I don't know..."
