The core of the problem is whether to prevent the emperor from having his wife.
If they agree, then they can now ask Princess Qin to speak to the emperor, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily, and everyone will habitually forget what happened two days ago.
If you don't agree, there is no point in asking Princess Qin.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can find a way to get Princess Qin to reject His Majesty the Emperor. In this way, the matter can be resolved."
"Are you crazy?" Du Ruhui glared, "If Your Majesty knows about this, do you know what Your Majesty will do?"
Of course Wei Zheng knew this, so he frowned and said: "Either your Majesty gives up and accepts Princess Qin, or I resign."
"You!" Du Ruhui was speechless.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be too lazy to care about it, let alone have a headache. But after all, Wei Zheng is different from others. He is also a minister of the emperor's residence, and Wei Zheng's loyal and direct advice makes him quite appreciate it. He really doesn't want Wei Zheng to
Just leave the court.
But this person is really stubborn.
Xue Shou rubbed his cheek and said helplessly: "I see, His Majesty has made up his mind, you should prepare to resign."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui was speechless. If you didn't persuade me, forget it, you would only add fuel to the fire, wouldn't you?
"The king has made mistakes. As ministers, we should correct him. How can we stand by and watch. Regardless of whether your majesty will demote me or not, I will not sit back and watch your majesty make a big mistake." Wei Zheng said firmly.
Xue Shou looked at Du Ruhui and gave him a look that said, "Sure enough," and then his face was full of helplessness.
He really wanted to say, Wei Zheng, you are an unreasonable lunatic.
"This is not a big mistake, it can only be regarded as a loss of personal ethics." Du Ruhui said in a low voice.
"That's even worse!" Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you act like this regardless of the consequences?"
Yes, it’s all in vain.
Du Ruhui said: "Then you go."
"Aren't you going?" Wei Zheng glared.
Xue Shou explained: "Xuancheng, if we continue to mess around with you, what do you think His Majesty will think?"
Wei Zheng was silent, he knew what Xue Shou meant. With the current toughness, if the ministers object again, not only will the government and the public be in turmoil, but even the status of these old ministers in His Majesty's mind will plummet.
"Okay, I admit, I shouldn't have said those words at that time."
Could it be that Wei Zheng felt that he was impulsive.
"It's too late to say this now." Xue Shou shook his head.
"Then what you mean is that you want me to compromise, and you want me to watch His Majesty accept Princess Qin, and then be ridiculed by the people of the world?" Wei Zheng looked angry, "It's fine if you don't advise His Majesty, I can understand, but how can you
You can do this!”
Xue Shou was also angry and reprimanded: "If you hadn't told His Majesty not to come to the stage in Liangyi Palace, and led the ministers to persecute His Majesty, would things have gotten to this point?
Yes, you, Wei Zheng, are loyal and dedicated to Your Majesty, but have you ever thought about it, His Majesty is the Emperor, and we are just ministers. We assist His Majesty in governing the world, we are not making decisions for His Majesty, let alone forcing Him to make decisions!
"
"Your Majesty made a mistake by marrying Princess Qin!" Wei Zheng became anxious and retorted: "Have you ever thought about how your Majesty will be viewed by the people and how your Majesty will be viewed by future generations if your Majesty succeeds in marrying Princess Qin!"
"Do you think His Majesty hasn't thought about this?" Xue Shou stood up and said loudly: "Since Your Majesty doesn't care, what are you talking about here?"
"Traitor!" Wei Zheng pointed at his nose and yelled.
"You..." Xue Shuang's lips turned white with anger, and then he flicked his sleeves, "It's up to you, I'll go ahead!"
After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
"Bo Bao! Bo Bao!" Du Ruhui called several times but failed to make Xue look back, and sighed helplessly.
He looked back at Wei Zheng, who was still stubborn, and said, "Let's all calm down."
Wei Zheng said nothing and was sulking.
Manna Hall.
After cleaning up, the place has returned to its original state, and Li Zhiyun is looking at the test papers for this imperial examination.
Only one person scored more than 200 points this time, Ma Zhou.
There was only one person who scored 150 points or above, Shangguan Yi, who scored 172 points.
Regarding the two famous officials, Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi, he had long been calm in his heart. After all, he had seen too many famous officials.
According to the rules, Ma Zhou entered the Six Ministries to observe government affairs, while Shangguan Yi entered the History Museum to compile history.
After correcting the memorial, he handed it over to Gao Liangzhong and asked him to publish it.
Although he claimed to be unwell, he did not delay when it came to government affairs. He still handled matters himself.
In recent days, he has dealt with many old ministers who were making noises, which caused the ministers to panic. He knows this.
But he had to do this. He wanted all the officials to know what would happen if he went against him.
It's not that he can't accept the advice of hundreds of officials, what he really can't accept is that these people force him to do something.
If you succeed this time, what about next time?
hehe.
View the Duke's Mansion.
Ma Zhou had a calm expression on his face as he tasted the fine wine. Shangguan Yi held the imperial edict with a melancholy look on his face.
Yang Gongren comforted him: "You didn't do well in the test this time because you were not used to the big test questions. If you are given enough time, you will definitely get a good score."
"Yes, actually I think so too." Ma Zhou said: "I came to Chang'an earlier than you, I have been exposed to the big exam questions for a long time, and I often communicate with the gentlemen from primary and secondary schools in Chang'an, so I can get the results this time. And you can
Achieving this result in such a short period of time is enough to prove that you are not mediocre."
Shangguan Yi returned from the sea and had just entered Chang'an. Faced with the new test questions, he did not do well enough in some areas. In fact, he himself believed that if he was given enough time, he would definitely get good results.
Because of this exam, he found that except for the questionnaire, the answers to the other two test papers were all fixed.
With his memory and careful study, it is not difficult to get high marks in the exam.
However, I still felt unhappy when I thought that Ma Zhou could go to the six departments to observe the government, but he could only enter the history museum to compile history.
"I know."
Seeing this, Yang Gongren said a few words of comfort, and finally said: "In the future, I will find a way to let you transfer outside."
What's the point of staying in a history museum?
"Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Ma Zhou was not very good at comforting people, so he changed the subject and asked, "I heard that His Majesty has been feeling unwell lately?"
In Ma Zhou's impression, the current emperor was an emperor on horseback, strong and strong, and he had never heard of physical discomfort.
Hearing this, Yang Gongren smiled bitterly and informed the two of them about what happened in Liangyi Hall that day.
After listening, Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi looked at each other. It was hard for them to comment on this kind of thing. They wanted to say that the emperor had no regard for his integrity, but they stopped talking.
"This Wei Zheng is a direct minister. If there is a chance in the future, I will make friends with him." Ma Zhou said with a smile.
"What do you think His Majesty will do?" Yang Gongren asked.
Shangguan Yi thought: "There is nothing that His Majesty has decided that cannot be accomplished. From my perspective, if Wei Zheng had not opposed it this time, someone else would have been demoted by Your Majesty."
"You are right." Ma Zhou agreed: "Wei Zheng is your Majesty's old friend, and your Majesty always takes care of Wei Zheng. Furthermore, your Majesty rewarded Wei Zheng, which shows that your Majesty knows that what he did is wrong, and
I also understand that Wei Zheng’s advice is right.”
"The more you talk, the more confused I become." Yang Gongren said.
Ma Zhou smiled and explained: "It's very simple. Your Majesty knew that it was against etiquette to accept Princess Qin, but you still wanted to accept her. Your Majesty also knew that Wei Zheng was right, so you didn't punish Wei Zheng and instead gave him a reward. However, your Majesty still wanted to accept Princess Qin.
