Chapter nine hundred and thirty sixth Kong Fu's underhand trick
Emperor Qianwen, who was sitting on the golden dragon chair, saw that the direction of the wind in the court had completely turned to one side, and his face naturally became more and more ugly. But he couldn't stop it. It was obviously him who asked everyone to express their thoughts. What's the point of blocking it now?
Emperor Jie Qianwen had already seen that these courtiers clearly disagreed with the alliance with the Huns. Or to be more specific, these courtiers did not want the Huns to go north and threaten their safety and existing life.
After all, Daliang City also belongs to the North. In comparison, Shuzhou is farther away from them. Putting the Xiongnu there and letting them toss around will not threaten their own safety for a while. On the contrary, if If the Huns were really allowed to go to the old territory of Beidi, if the other side wanted to send troops, they would only need to pass through Jizhou and Liaozhou to reach Daliang City. In comparison, their safety would not be guaranteed.
Perhaps some of these ministers are really thinking about Da Qian; some are thinking about reputation and do not want to compromise with foreign tribes and suffer criticism from others; and the remaining majority are just thinking about themselves.
In this way, the current situation emerged, a result that was completely beyond Emperor Qianwen's expectations and caught him off guard.
"Hmph." The angry Emperor Qianwen knew very well that in this situation, no matter what he said, it would be meaningless, so he simply said nothing, but stood up and left the Golden Dragon Chair, heading towards the back of the palace. .
Now that the emperor has left, this court meeting will naturally come to an end. When all the ministers walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, they all looked happy, as if they had won a battle.
In fact, they did win the battle. At least they blocked it and even rejected the emperor's opinion. Isn't this still a victory?
This is the result of different systems. In Jidi, Tang Ao has the ability to stick to his word. He can leave some things to the people below to discuss, and everyone will implement them after the results are obtained. But some things, once he does them After the decision is made, there will be no doubts about it, at least there will be no doubts publicly, and it can only be implemented.
After all, the territory of Ji Di was conquered by Tang Ao single-handedly. He was like the founding emperor, so naturally he had a strong voice. On the contrary, everything Emperor Qianwen had came from inheriting the influence of his ancestors. Its influence is naturally subject to certain limitations.
Emperor Qianwen returned to the Yangxin Hall angrily and kicked Long Ben to the ground to vent his dissatisfaction.
Yan Fu followed closely and saw that the emperor was angry. He lowered his head and comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't be the same as these ministers. They only see our current concessions, so how can they know what your Majesty is thinking?" If you want to destroy the Xiongnu, the southern region is too complicated and difficult to handle. It is better to lure them out, so that without the support and involvement of other foreign races, it will be much easier to destroy them. This is like Ji When the king destroyed Goryeo, it was only possible because there was no interference from others."
Yan Fu naturally felt a little against his will when he mentioned this. But there was no way. His master was Emperor Qianwen, and he was destined to only stand on Tang Qingshan's side in his life. Even if he knew that the other party was wrong, he could only support him. , otherwise, once he loses the emperor's heart, he will die without a burial place. After hearing these words, Emperor Qianwen felt very comfortable, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's still strict." Fortunately, you understand me. Yes, these ministers are all short-sighted. In the final analysis, they are afraid that the Xiongnu will threaten the security of Daliang City after they rebuild Beidi, so they do everything possible to stop it. But no matter what, I Don't give up this opportunity because of them. In this way, you go from house to house, communicate with these ministers, and change their minds no matter what."
"This..." Yan Fu had a bitter look on his face. He wanted to say that even His Majesty couldn't understand these ministers. He was just a eunuch and an eunuch. Would they sell their face?
Seemingly considering Yan Fu's difficulties, Emperor Qianwen spoke again: "Didn't the Blood Dragon Temple have some clues about many ministers? Then talk to them carefully. If you support it, you don't need to pursue the past matters. If you don't support it, you don't have to pursue it. Yes, then let’s settle the old and new accounts together. I want to see if they are really not afraid of anything and if they are really not afraid of death.”
At this moment, Emperor Qianwen was really angry. He did not hesitate to threaten the ministers below. Fortunately, he also knew that this was not Weiguang's matter, so he could not take action himself, but left it to Yan Fu to handle.
Finally understanding the emperor's determination, Yan Fu knew that this matter could not be avoided. He immediately agreed, "No, I know how to do it now."
Yan Fu quickly left the palace, and he was accompanied by hundreds of Blood Dragon Temple members. Next, except for the internal minister Du Jin, other ministers' residences were visited, including Lian Rui Bu Tong, Ming Shan and Cheng Berlin and others could not escape either.
I didn't dare to go to Du Jin's place, I'm afraid Yan Fu also had concerns. This stubborn old man is not that easy to offend, mainly because his reputation is too great. Once he really goes, if he can't convince the other party, then he will I really dare to scold myself.
Of course, the main reason is that the Blood Dragon Temple really doesn't have any leverage over Du Jin. The old man has many students, and his filial piety is enough for him to live a good life, so he doesn't need to be greedy at all. The only problem is that Du Jin His subordinate Hanlin went to Ji to serve as an official, but think about it, Prince Ji was the fourth son of the emperor, and he was also granted the title of prince. Although it has not been announced to the world, everyone in the world does not know that once Tang Qingshan passes away, this will happen. Will the country be handed over to Tang Ao?
Even so, what's the difference between being an official in Daliang City and going to Ji Di?
Yan Fu's visit mainly brought out a series of evidence of violations of laws and disciplines, which made many officials instantly change their faces and then changed their words. But it was just that they would not object. When it came to support, , they really don’t have the courage.
I don’t know who spread the news, but the matter of the court meeting in Taiji Hall has spread to the public. Now many scholars and some common people are discussing this matter, and their opinions are extremely unified. Then It is absolutely impossible to unite with the Huns and not allow them to go to the North after they have done harm to the South.
Because of this matter, people had already surrounded Shi Hongyun's mansion, and the place was almost flooded with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves.
With the example in front of him, who dares to be the second person without fear of being drowned by the people's spit? Yan Fu can also understand the attitude of the officials. After all, he doesn't want to really force these ministers. If he dies, it is the best result if he can not object. Besides, it is no longer a problem in the court, but a problem among the people. If the emperor must insist on his own way, even if the courtiers agree in the court, in the end I am afraid that the people will also scold the emperor secretly.
Don't underestimate these people, especially those who have the support of scholars. These rough guys may not dare to say bad things about the emperor, but there is absolutely no problem in talking behind his back. In this way, the people will not be happy. Stability, the cornerstone of the country, is tantamount to turmoil. Without the support of the courtiers, Yan Fu does not dare to think about what the consequences will be.
After communicating with the officials, Yan Fu hurried back to the palace and informed Emperor Qianwen of the powerful connections there.
"What? Who spread the news? Check, send the Blood Dragon Temple out and investigate carefully." The furious Emperor Qianwen roared angrily.
Yan Fu wanted to say that it was pointless to investigate this now, so he should think of a way to deal with the envoy sent by Wei Qian'er. But he did not dare to say these words, so he had to agree and then retreated.
Emperor Qianwen who was left in the main hall was banging things again and seemed to be in a very bad mood.
...
Shun Wangfu.
Ever since she received the news in Ezhou that her father intended to pass the title of crown prince to Prince Ji Tang Ao, Tang Jia's mood became worse day by day.
During this period, he also made efforts, such as asking his mother and concubine who left him to meet Tang Ao and ask if she could give up the position of prince to him. But when he thought about it, he laughed at his own stupidity.
The position of the prince is such a big deal, it can't be given up just by asking. Presumably the mother and concubine just heard these words as a joke, and would not mention it after meeting King Ji.
Besides, even if the mother-in-law really spoke about such a big matter, I'm afraid Tang Ao wouldn't agree. There are too many things involved.
Thinking that after working hard for so long, the position of prince still cannot fall to himself. Once his father is gone one day, Tang Ao will become the new emperor. At that time, he can be an idle prince. He is So unwilling.
Especially after returning to Daliang City this time, Tang Jia returned to Prince Shun's palace. As the only prince left by the emperor in Daliang City, not one of his courtiers came to visit, which made him even more depressed.
Could it be that these officials also realized that they had fallen out of favor, so they didn't even bother to pay superficial visits?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Soon after, King Shun simply stopped going to the court, as if he had accepted his fate, and just stayed in his mansion every day, listening to music and spending his days leisurely.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, good news." It was already noon that day, but Tang Jia still didn't get up. While he was still lying on the couch, there was a cry of urgency outside the door.
Although he didn't see anyone, Tang Jia could tell by the voice alone that it was the voice of his accompaniment, Kong Fu, the current chief minister of Prince Shun's palace.
Ever since Kong Fu became Tang Jia's companion, fate had tightly tied the two together.
