"Worrying quietly, I am embarrassed by the small group. Since there are many people looking at Min, I will be insulted a lot."
Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.
There is an unfinished book on the desk, and red handwriting is densely annotated on it, which is enough to show the reader's intention. At this time, the person reading the book is not in front of the desk. The window on the side of Xuanshi Hall is open.
The clouds were thick, accompanied by a few faint spring thunders. Even in late spring, the biting wind was still biting. The emperor was wearing a plain cloak and stood quietly by the window.
"It's going to rain. Officials on and off the mourning platform should be rewarded." The emperor looked at the clouds in the sky and said softly to the people behind him in a calm tone.
Jia Xu stood quietly behind the emperor. If the emperor hadn't asked, he might never have taken the initiative to speak: "The people in Lingtai spent several years observing the sky every night, and finally completed it. This new calendar has given time to the people, and from then on the people farmed.
It will not violate the farming season, and it will not be delayed when the season comes."
"With the new calendar, there must be a new agricultural book, and then hundreds of workers must cast new agricultural tools, so that one acre of land can produce more food and feed more people. The world is prosperous, and the common people are rich, no matter rich or poor, high or low,
Everyone can study and use it..." The emperor expressed his ambition directly, as if to let the sudden courage dispel the clouds in front of him: "Whenever the season comes, you should do the things of the season. Mr. Jia, when you and I first met in Linyuan,
Let’s meet and prepare together, isn’t it just for today?”
"Wei Wei." Jia Xu raised his hands and said, "I dare not forget what your Majesty said that day."
"When Dong Cheng entered the DPRK, it was just an expedient measure. It was not only to appease the soldiers in Xiliang, but also to have someone to overwhelm the ministers of the DPRK for me." The emperor suddenly mentioned: "On these two points alone, Dong Cheng is indeed
He did a good job, but that’s all. I’ve been beaten and reminded over the past few years, and I was able to be more disciplined at first, but soon I started to be wanton again. I have a weak will and a dull nature, so I can’t be used. Now.
It seemed that he was using the matter of punishing Guan Ning to show favor to me and show his loyalty, but in fact he was secretly trying to calm down the situation and win the favor of the scholar."
Jia Xu did not respond to the emperor's words, but made another aside and mentioned something irrelevant: "It has been nearly eight years since Mr. Dong entered the court."
"A little longer, and he will really become 'Dong Gong'." The emperor's face darkened.
Dong Cheng was actually not very practical for the emperor. He could not understand his intentions in time, and even contradicted his own ideas from time to time. He was also unable to be honest and obedient. He often made arrogant opinions and touched the bottom line several times. At first, he was out of touch.
Due to various internal and external reasons, no action was taken against Dong Cheng. Now that the world is unified, Huang Wan, Yang Qi and other important ministers have left one after another. Only Zhao Wen and Dong are left among the ministers who once assisted the emperor in regaining the world.
Accept two people.
He has lost the position and purpose that the emperor gave him at the beginning, and gradually has even begun to rely on his elders to betray his elders and take credit for his favor.
After removing the obstacles in the court, it seems that the emperor has no choice whether to choose an old minister who is not completely obedient and not smart enough, or to choose a newcomer who is courageous enough, has a relatively weak foundation in the court, and has relatively little qualifications.
Another problem.
"What do you think he will do to Guan Ning?" the emperor asked.
Jia Xu put his hands close to his lower abdomen and said skillfully: "It depends on what Your Majesty wants to do."
"Of course let him die!" With these words, the cold spring rain began to fall on the roof tiles.
When the last rain in late spring fell, Dong Cheng, the general of the Hussars and the secretary of the Shangshu, suddenly ordered that the famous scholar Guan Ning, who was far away in Qingzhou Township, be taken back to Chang'an. The reason given was that the opening chapter written by Guan Ning was about Liu.
It is really disrespectful to talk about the origin of the surname and equate the royal family with the surnames of ordinary wealthy families.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. When Guan Ning was being escorted, many scholars followed him in the car, begging the court to release him. Dong Cheng took this and complained to the emperor again, accusing Guan Ning of despising the king's law by holding his subordinates hostage.
The emperor was extremely concerned about maintaining his own authority, not to mention that Guan Ning was half-recommended at this time and almost had signs of being recommended by the scholars. The emperor could not allow the existence of such an opinion leader.
So Dong Cheng, relying on the emperor's tacit approval behind his back, forcibly ordered people to expel the scholars who were accompanying the carriage to complain about their grievances, and arrested a few people who had behaved badly and obstructed the carriage. When Guan Ning's carriage arrived in Henan, he obeyed Hu
Based on Miao's suggestion, several groups of swordsmen and rangers who tried to hijack cars to rescue people were arrested, tortured and tortured to extract confessions, and more than ten powerful people were recruited behind them, all of whom were brought to justice by Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng's reputation was so great that everyone said that he wanted to retaliate against Guan Ning for mocking him and forcing him to give up the throne. However, they did not dare to force himself due to his strong power, so they had to go to court to defend Guan Ning and even began to lobby Dong Cheng.
At the request of others, Taiwei Zhu Jun rarely came forward to intercede with Dong Cheng: "Guan You'an was imprisoned in Qujie and imprisoned, but has he avenged the hatred of Dong Gong for avoiding the throne? His body is expected by the world's scholars, if there is any
If something unexpected happens, the world will be shaken. How can Mr. Dong ignore it? We might as well stop here and let it go."
"Confucius can kill Shaozhengmao, how can I not kill Guan Ning?" Dong Cheng's footsteps were carried by the wind. The two of them were walking on the waterside path to Cangchi. The majestic front hall of Weiyang Palace was getting farther and farther away from them, and the waves were shining.
Reflected leisurely in the water pattern.
Zhu Jun was angry at his arrogant fallacy and glared: "What does Mr. Dong mean? Guan Youan has been famous for a long time and is a well-known scholar in the country. How can he be compared with Shaozhengmao?"
"He is also causing harm to the public with his heresy. Is it because he is a so-called famous person that the court can not punish him?" Dong Cheng chuckled and walked to the waterside pavilion by the pool. He kept walking: "Mr. Zhu, please continue to control it."
He would rather defend his grievances without even knowing what he was guilty of and why he was imprisoned. Is there so much emotion behind it that cannot be avoided?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Jun took a step forward and angrily said: "Dong Cheng, today I am advising you not to make a mistake. Now that you have a queen in your family, you have nothing to worry about. You must know that the Song family is not careful.
Far!"
"Yuan's Yin Jian is not far away!" Dong Cheng stopped under the eaves of the water pavilion, turned around and said: "Now that you are determined to advocate for Guan Ning, why not go directly to the emperor? I'm afraid the emperor has never paid attention to your memorial.
?It is said that he is the Sangong, but he has not recorded the affairs of the minister, so what is the difference between him and the nine ministers who serve as ministers?"
"Shuzi!" Zhu Jun pressed his sword with one hand and stepped forward angrily. He had a violent temper, so he didn't hear Dong Cheng's words. His face turned red and he almost pulled out his sword in front of him.
"You are the only one who has never killed anyone in battle!" Dong Cheng shouted softly. Standing on the steps, he was actually a head taller than Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun is the only remaining veteran, with a great reputation and a straightforward temper. Dong Cheng is of course afraid that he will really kill him with a sword. But now they are in Weiyang Palace, although the emperor is still resting on the platform in the middle of Cangchi.
There was no sound from the other side, but as long as Zhu Jun dared to draw his sword at Dong Cheng, there was nothing the other captain could do!
I saw that the opponent's face was as red as blood, his breathing was heavy, veins popped out of the hand pressed on the sword hilt, and he was shaking due to excessive exertion.
Dong Cheng stood there and waited for a long time. He was sure that the other party would not do anything drastic again. Feeling both regretful and relieved, he turned around and walked back to where he was boarding the boat.
Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a commotion behind him, and someone hurried over, which surprised him: "Oh no, the captain has fainted!"
