However, before Ding Wei's counterattack plan could be implemented, he was stopped by an oral order from the palace.
Political Hall.
In the afternoon, Liu Maoqin came to the Political Affairs Hall and personally conveyed the official's oral instructions.
"Pass your Majesty's decree!"
"When men and women discuss marriage, they should not be greedy for their high status and wealth. If they are not equal in character, their children will always be resentful.
If the situation is not harmonious, something else will happen!"
The general meaning of this statement is that when discussing marriage, one should not covet the other party's family status and wealth. If the two parties enter into a marriage contract despite having different personalities, it is likely that the children will regret it for life.
Not only that, discord between husband and wife often leads to many other troubles.
If the family is harmonious and everything is prosperous, marrying a virtuous wife is the principle of ancient and modern times.
If your wife is not virtuous, how can you keep the family together?
How can a country be governed if the family is not harmonious?
When Liu Maoqin delivered the oral instructions, Ding Wei was not present. When his children got married, according to the law, they could take wedding and funeral leave.
Therefore, the only people present today are Wang Qinruo and Lu Yijian, who participated in politics and served as Zhongzheng.
After Liu Maoqin left, the three people present had mixed reactions.
Not surprisingly, there was a faint smile on Wang Qinruo's face.
Although Ding Wei’s name was not mentioned in today’s oral speech, what was said both inside and outside the words?
wedding!
The trend of generous marriage is not advisable!
What is the difference between this and direct naming?
Obviously, this is a signal.
The officials are trying to beat Ding Wei, and if it goes further, Ding Wei's position as prime minister may not be stable.
Thinking of this, how could Wang Qinruo not be happy?
Ding said that he was originally his junior, but as a result, times have changed, and the juniors and subordinates at that time are now standing on top of him.
Although Ding Wei did not stand on his head to defecate or urinate, Wang Qinruo could not swallow this breath no matter what.
Previously, he secretly instructed officials to impeach Liu Yun. Although there were some changes in the plan, the end did not seem to be worse.
At least the water is muddy!
If he didn't muddy the water, how could he single-handedly fight against the northern Shiren group and the southern scholars headed by Ding Wei?
Not long ago, Zu Shiheng, the envoy of Quan Sansi, lost his official position.
When Zu Shiheng lost his official position, it was no less than losing one of Ding Wei's arms.
Now, the censor Zhongcheng Liu Ye launched an impeachment against Ding Wei.
The situation is developing in a good direction.
In fact, Wang Qinruo was a little confused as to why Liu Ye would impeach Ding Wei at this time?
Mainly, the timing is not right.
Hebei Road has just won an unprecedented victory. When the whole country is rejoicing, it is not good to impeach the prime minister.
aside.
Lu Yijian's reaction was completely different from Wang Qinruo's. After listening to the official's oral instructions, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Unlike Wang Qinruo, who had just returned to the throne, Lu Yijian could see with his own eyes how he came to power step by step.
The ingenuity of officials is unparalleled!
Although the official is still young, when it comes to the emperor's mentality, to be honest, even Taizong and the late emperor may not be as good as him.
Officials never aim without aim!
Based on Lu Yijian's understanding of the official family, if the official family did not intend to pursue the case, they would probably not convey the oral instructions rashly.
How is this oral instruction?
In his opinion, this is Ding Wei's talisman!
Ding said the good days were over.
Just like the king's prime minister, it won't be long before Ding Wei either invites himself or is demoted.
Only these two, there is no other way!
Changing places, Lu Yijian would definitely choose the former.
The former can at least go a bit more decently.
the other side.
Compared with people like Lu Yijian, Ren Zhongzheng's reaction was slower.
certainly.
Ren Zhongzheng understands the meaning of beating.
If he cannot even understand this, he will not be able to participate in politics.
It's just that he didn't understand anything else.
At this moment, he just wanted to convey the news to Ding Xiang as soon as possible.
…
…
…
It's late afternoon.
At this moment, Ding Wei was in the study thinking about how to respond to Liu Ye's attack.
call!
call!
A breeze blew by, and the branches in the courtyard made a rustling sound.
At this time, Ding Wei suddenly remembered something.
When Lu Wenmu Gong (Meng Zheng) was young, he, Zhang Qixian, Wang Sui, Qian Ruoshui, Liu Ye and others studied Ci and Fu under Guo Yanqing, a famous scholar in Luozhong.
This time Liu Ye impeached himself, were the Zhang family involved?
If others don't know, how can Ding Wei not know about Wang Qinruo's connections?
Wang Qinruo has always been on good terms with the Zhang family. If Wang Qinruo was the instigator, then Zhang would come forward to persuade Liu Ye.
In this case, this impeachment letter is reasonable.
As for whether Liu Ye will join forces with Zhang to impeach him, Ding Wei thinks this is very possible.
After all, the relationship between Liu Ye and him was not close.
Even if he knew that Zhang had ulterior motives, he would probably agree half-heartedly.
Anyway, both himself and Wang Qinruo are a thorn in the side of the northern scholar group.
Even if the relationship between Liu Ye and Zhang is not a good one, it will not prevent them from joining forces.
At least, they were all scholars from the north, and it would not be too late for them to fight each other again after they eliminated the two prime ministers from the south.
In this way, the meat ends up rotting in the pot instead of benefiting others.
The more he thought about it, the more Ding Wei felt that this possibility was extremely high.
'Things get tricky.'
If it turns out to be what he thinks, the northern scholars will concentrate their efforts on him, and there is also Wang Qinruo looming behind him.
How can he fight against the alliance of multiple forces with his own strength?
Boom!
Boom!
"Sir, Mr. Ren sent someone to deliver a message, saying that something urgent happened at Zhongshu."
At this moment, a voice message suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Come in."
Seeing that his train of thought was interrupted, Ding Wei was a little unhappy, but when he thought about what happened to Zhongshu, he had to temporarily suppress his displeasure.
"Sir, here is Mr. Ren's letter."
After stepping into the study, the steward of the mansion held a letter in his hand and walked forward with a half-bowed body.
"Go down."
After picking up the letter, Ding Wei waved his hand.
A few moments.
After browsing the contents of the letter, Ding Wei couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his eyes.
Officials actually passed down oral instructions!
Seeing this news, Ding Wei suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
You seem to be finished?
that's the truth.
Just as Lu Yijian and Ding Wei thought, Li Jie did have the intention to depose Ding Wei.
The folk custom of generous marriage has many disadvantages.
Whether it's a marriage or a daughter's marriage, competing with each other is undesirable.
Where did the sky-high betrothal gifts come from in later generations?
To put it bluntly, it is just for vanity comparison. Your family needs 200,000 yuan, while my family needs 300,000 yuan. If things go on like this, the cost of marriage will only get higher and higher.
In the same way, the current trend of generous marriages also comes from this.
Changing customs is never a simple matter.
I'm afraid it will be useless to rely solely on a piece of paper.
But if a powerful prime minister is sacrificed, the effect will be completely different.
With Ding Wei's lesson learned, those scholar-bureaucrats who marry their daughters in the future may not dare to be so extravagant again.
The houses of scholar-bureaucrats have restrained themselves a lot, and slowly, this gust of wind will also spread to the middle and lower classes.
