When he said the last sentence, Emperor Qianwen's voice was obviously a little cold, and Yan Fu, who was standing beside him, felt it deeply.
He understood what Emperor Qianwen meant, "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be the case. Aren't the people from the Emperor's Guard following Duke Zhongguo all the time? If any outsider comes into contact with him, it will be difficult not to be discovered."
"Well, maybe." Emperor Qianwen nodded and seemed to acquiesce to this result. But there was something in his heart that he had not said, that is, if she really wanted to get in touch with Shen Ao, how could the people of Tianziwei find out? How could it have been discovered?
...
East Palace.
He Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, after watching the barbarians being placed in the post house, quickly came to the East Palace and told the prince what happened in Xianweiju in the afternoon.
"Haha, why do I suddenly feel that this Shen Ao is not so hateful anymore?" The prince was in a good mood after hearing this. Because of the loss he suffered at the hands of Shen Ao regarding the black coal matter, he seemed to have forgotten it at this time. back.
The prince was in a good mood, and He Yuan came to him with a smile, "Your Highness, what Shen Ao did did indeed relieve his anger. But more importantly, it dealt a blow to Fan Shitong's arrogance. You don't even know how unpleasant what Shen Ao said today was. It's almost as if he is a traitor to the country."
"Oh? Well, he has the guts." The prince thought that Shen Ao wouldn't even give Prince Xiang and his own face. The other party was the head of the officials in the dynasty, so it was normal for him not to give face.
After He Yuan's words reached this point, seeing that the prince still didn't see his intention, he had no choice but to say further: "Your Highness, this is a good opportunity, an opportunity to bring down Fan Shitong."
"Huh. Huh?" The prince came to his senses at this moment. He first looked at He Yuan with wide eyes, and then his eyes lit up, "Yes, you are right to remind us. In this way, we will contact our people immediately to impeach Fan Shitong." Old thief."
Fan Shitong was a staunch supporter of King Qing and even his teacher.
Even though King Qing was told by Emperor Qianwen that he could no longer inherit the throne because he became a cripple, he still did not change his original intention. Taking advantage of the position of being the head of the hundred officials, he even united some people to secretly support him.
The prince knew about this, but he had no better way.
Firstly, Fan Shitong's position is very stable and he is not someone who can be easily moved. He has no good candidates to compete for this position. Secondly, his biggest opponent is King Xiang. This man is deeply loved by his father and has King Qi behind him. support, this is the biggest threat.
But if this opportunity can be used to overthrow Fan Shitong, it will completely cut off the possibility of King Qing's succession. How could he stand idly by if there were some opportunities?
The prince decided to take action, and King Xiang also had the same idea as him. For a moment, the courtiers' excuses flew towards the palace like snowflakes, and appeared on Emperor Qianwen's dragon case.
Yan Fu, the chief eunuch, divided these memorials into three parts and placed them in front of Emperor Qianwen.
This is divided into three parts, each representing different meanings and ideas.
One of them was headed by Fan Shitong to impeach Duke Zhongguo Shen Ao for violating the relations between Gan and Barbarians, and demanded that Duke Zhongguo be severely punished in order to calm down the anger of the Western Barbarian envoys.
One memorial, headed by the Crown Prince, Prince Xiang, Lu Yuan and others, impeached Fan Shitong because he behaved inappropriately and was actually a traitor, and demanded that he be dismissed from office and held accountable. This type of memorial was also the most common.
There is also one recommending Fan Shitong, saying that Fan Pushe was forced to do what he did because he did not want to destroy the friendship between Ganman and Man. The number of these memorials was not large, but one of them had a prominent position, and he was the right servant to shoot Baili. expensive.
The Baili family, one of the wealthy families in Daqian, is mainly engaged in the silk business. It has a complete system of mulberry picking, cloth forging, and ready-made clothing. It monopolizes about 70% of the country's ready-made clothing business. Even Daqian's military uniforms are mostly made of They produce.
Bailigui was born into such a wealthy family. Now his younger brother Bailixiang is in charge of the family business. He entered the court as an official and became the right servant, second only to Fan Shitong.
Normally, if something happened to Fan Shitong, the person most likely to be in charge would be Baili Gui, but instead of adding insult to injury, he recommended Fan Shitong and spoke up for him, which made Yan Fu a little confused.
Emperor Qianwen closed his eyes and read Bailigui's memorial twice. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's all a good plan. Jun'er is fifteen years old." Well, I can wear the crown in a few years."
"Your Majesty, you mean..." Yan Fu is a smart man, otherwise he would not have been with Emperor Qianwen for many years. After hearing this, he suddenly realized, "I see, this is a long-term consideration."
No wonder Yan Fu would sigh like this. Bailigui's daughter is Bailishi, the imperial concubine of Emperor Qianwen, and their grandson is Tang Jun, the fifth prince. According to this idea, Bailigui will also help his grandson win the Only then did he want to protect Fan Shitong.
The reason for doing this is not because Bailigui and Fan Shitong reached an agreement, but because Bailigui believes that now is not the time to take the position of head of officials, because this position is too conspicuous and is extremely easy to be attacked. If he waits In the past few years, the fifth prince has grown bigger. If he stands in this position and the two of them echo each other, the effect will be much better.
Emperor Qianwen could think of this quickly, which proved that he was indeed a qualified king. But just because he thought of it, he felt a little bit scary.
Tang Jun is only fifteen years old, and people are already paving the way for him. It is conceivable that in a few years, there will be another popular figure to seize the throne. By then, the crown prince, Prince Xiang, the fifth prince and the eldest prince will all be If we refuse to give in an inch and continue to suffer internal friction like this, how can we talk about development and how can we talk about becoming strong?
When Emperor Qianwen wanted to bring Daqian to a prosperous age, would the distance become further and further away?
"Why? Is this throne really so good that everyone wants to sit on it?" With a question, Emperor Qianwen shook his head, but he forgot that when he was young, he also had unlimited desire for the throne, and also Have you ever tried your best?
When his thoughts returned to the present, Emperor Qianwen left all the memorials in his mind, which meant that he did not express his opinions. He was not prepared to punish anyone, because no matter who he punished, it would not solve the problem, let alone internal friction. All he needed to do was wait. , let time consume everyone's energy and vitality. As far as he knows, his pet peeve, King Jin, has already suffered from physical problems. Maybe he can be killed first, so that he can swallow the four states. In this land, when there is money and people, he will strengthen his power and cut off those who are restless in their hearts one by one.
All the memorials were left unpublished. After the news came out, everyone quickly became silent.
None of the courtiers are stupid, on the contrary, they are all clever. Submitting a memorial is a kind of statement, and it is also a kind of test. It is enough if the purpose is achieved, even if the emperor has no intention of taking action against the pattern of the courtiers. , they will only be annoying when they jump out, and the gain outweighs the loss.
...
Posthouse.
After what happened at Xianweiju, the Western Barbarian envoys who were supposed to visit Daliang City and feel the prosperity here went dormant.
When he arrived here, he was beaten up before he could show off his power. It felt very bad. The second prince Origi, who felt that he had lost face, seemed to have lost interest in everything. Especially when he knew about Fan Shitong. After the memorial to impeach Duke Shen Ao failed, although he was angry in his heart, he also restrained his behavior a lot.
On the other hand, his younger sister Oyadan was not affected at all. She went out early and came back late every day, leaving traces of her footsteps in Daliang City. It was precisely because she walked a lot and saw a lot that she developed a deep understanding of the loyal Duke Shen Ao who left a deep impression on him. Learn more.
When a girl is interested in a man, it is often the beginning of love. The more she knows about Shen Ao, the more Oyadan can't help herself, even though they only met once and didn't even say a word. Said.
Barbarian women's pursuit of love is far less reserved than that of Daqian women. If you like it, you will express your love.
That night, in the inn, Oyadan came to his brother Wang's room. "Brother Wang, don't be angry. There is a way to punish Shen Ao. It's up to you to beat and scold him and take revenge."
"Oh? What can I do?" I thought that my sister didn't care about me. She didn't talk to me except eating together for a few days. Now I know that my sister has been helping him think of a solution. I couldn't help but be moved in my heart.
"Brother Er Wang, the method is actually very simple. We can propose a marriage to Emperor Daqian and let Shen Ao marry his younger sister. In this way, we can bring him back to the barbarian land. By then Emperor Shantian will be far away. , isn't it true that the Second Prince Brother can do whatever he wants?" Oyadan chuckled, this was a good idea she came up with. At least with this reason, Origi can put more effort into it, and she can do it too. Get the man you want.
Among barbarians, strong women can marry men, and there are even more than one. For example, Oyadan, as a barbarian princess, has such privileges. Her statement fell into the ears of Origi, and immediately Let his eyes light up.
"Yes, this is a good way. In order to gain the friendship of our barbarians, Emperor Daqian should be able to agree. But in this way, it will be painful for the king's sister." Origi had already approved the suggestion in his heart, but he still said it Said somewhat hypocritically.
Oyadan, who had known the virtues of Brother Wang for a long time, did not criticize him. He just kept nodding and said: "In order to avenge Brother Wang, it is nothing to feel wronged. Besides, I will not only marry one man, but Shen Ao is I caught him to let Brother Wang relieve his anger."
"Okay, little sister, Brother Wang has taken note of your concern for Brother Wang. Now I will go to General Shajie to discuss the matter." After having a solution to the matter, Origi could not sit still anymore. Then he got up and headed outside the house.
