Chapter 2128: Gui Zi Scroll: A trivial dispute, a thousand-mile relationship
Everyone here is over fifty years old. They were in their prime more than ten years ago, and they have already served as officials in the court. Naturally, they know the stories here.
The ridiculous scandals of the Tian family are secrets to outsiders, but they are nothing to them. In fact, they are also quietly circulated among the people in Beijing, but they are just a little changed and exaggerated.
"Okay, there's no need to say these words." Ye Xianggao interrupted the dispute between the two, "Let's get back to the subject, now we can't be sure how deeply King Shou himself is involved, and there is no other evidence to point to it, so if we want to use this
It's a bit far-fetched to convict King Shou of the crime of treason, but he cannot do it as a prisoner of the country. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded.
This is too suspicious, and it is also because Prince Shou is the eldest son of the emperor. If he is to be convicted and deprived of the prince's position on this basis, it will not only damage the image of the Tian family, but also inevitably cause an uproar. However, it is inappropriate for him to step down from the position of supervising the country in the name of rotation.
It makes sense. If he wanted to be dissatisfied, he would probably understand if he raised the issue a little more.
"Since it is decided that King Shou will step down and King Nalu will succeed the left supervisor, who will take over the right supervisor?" Ye Xianggao asked again.
Although it was just a display and no one here took it to heart, for several princes, it was an opportunity where every inch of land must be fought for.
In any case, with more qualifications to supervise the country, when the throne is still undecided, there are more opportunities. Who can say that he is not qualified to succeed to the position of Dabao? Just like Emperor Yonglong, who would have thought that he could become Dabao before.
position?
No one said anything. Who will succeed him? There are three candidates: King Fu, King Li, and King Gong.
"Jin Qing, given the current situation, is it necessary to set up another Right Supervisor?" Qi Yongtai frowned and said: "For the position of Supervisor, the palace has become a mess, and various criticisms and accusations have emerged one after another.
These are just rumors, and this is going to promote Youjianguo again, isn’t it going to cause another turmoil between Prince Fu, Prince Li, and Prince Gong?”
Qi Yongtai's words also made several other people feel the same. They don't care, but that doesn't mean that these princes and the concubines behind them will not care. When they hear that there will be a new round of supervising the country, there will definitely be trouble again, no matter what
Whether Prince Fu or Prince Gong succeeds Youjianguo, there will definitely be a lot of open and covert attacks.
"Chengfeng, do you mean not to set up the right prison country? Only keep the left prison country?" Ye Xianggao asked hesitantly: "Is it appropriate?"
"I'm not saying that it's not possible. Let's put it aside and let's just look at their performance. This King Shou was doing well before he became the Zuo Jianguo. Why did he become so rampant after becoming the Zuo Jianguo, and even brought this King Lu to become the right eunuch?
It's almost the same in the country. Isn't it true that Concubine Long is also a bit domineering now? How is it inappropriate to use various connections to win over the Third Family Army? Is it necessary to use the Third Family Army to support King Lu to directly ascend the throne?
"
Qi Yongtai's unkind words made everyone present feel sad. When the emperor was unable to take matters into his own hands, it was up to the princes in the court to decide who would succeed him. How could it be the turn of these princes to take matters into their own hands?
They even had to bring in the Third Family Army. Could it be said that the enthronement of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty still depended on the Third Family Army?
A group of warriors guarding the palace gate can still determine the succession to the throne, so what do you need this group of people here to do?
"What Brother Chengfeng said is true. The position of Supervisor of the State was only temporary to ensure the stability of the court. Now that the situation has stabilized, in fact, even the position of Supervisor of the State can no longer be established." Gao Panlong was the first to support.
Several other people also agreed.
Ye Xianggao hesitated and glanced at Fang Congzhe, "Zhonghan, what do you mean?"
Fang Congzhe was also a little undecided. He hesitated and then said: "There is nothing to say that King Shou should no longer be the supervisor of the country, but it seems a bit too radical to remove King Lu from the supervision of the country, right? Although Concubine Long was indeed a little forgetful.
, but King Lu still performed well in Qingtan Academy and had a good reputation. To abolish both prisons so suddenly and suddenly would be a bit indiscriminate. In addition, will the government and the public think that we have established prisons?
A few days later, it was canceled all at once. Is it a bit too hasty?"
Fang Congzhe's views are also representative to a certain extent. Supervising the country is not something that can be set up and withdrawn at a moment's notice. King Shou can also temporarily let him down in the name of rotation because he is suspected of treason and needs to be investigated, but King Lu, who has a good reputation, can
If we do this, or even not set up a supervisory state at all, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of many people.
"What Prime Minister Fang said is reasonable. The Emperor has not yet woken up. If we do this, there will inevitably be rumors that we are too domineering and ignore the Tian family." Gu Bingqian rarely spoke, but this time he also made his attitude clear.
Gu Bingqian is an imperialist, and Zhang Jingqiu is also an imperialist in the eyes of everyone. As soon as Gu Bingqian opened his mouth, other people looked at Zhang Jingqiu's face. Zhang Jingqiu was a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "What Brother Yi'an said is reasonable. We need to consider how the government and the opposition treat us.
view, lest we be accused of bullying women."
Ye Xianggao glanced at the others, including Huang Ruliang, Cui Jingrong, Guan Yingzhen and others who were originally indispensable, but they were also a little moved. Anyway, leaving a King Lu to supervise the country would not have much impact, so as not to act too much.
Big, attracts criticism.
"If that's the case, then let King Lu serve as the governor of the left, and I'm not talking about abolishing the governor of the right. I just want to wait until the next step to consider it..." Ye Xianggao thought for a moment before saying.
Others also nodded in agreement.
It’s not about canceling or not setting it up, it’s just about considering it, delaying it, slowing it down, and then make a decision based on the situation.
"It's just that the palace will need all kinds of lobbying..." Qi Yongtai felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Humph, this is inevitable. Everyone just agreed and said that we will wait until the situation in Shandong and Jiangnan is calmed down before making a decision." Ye Xianggao made the final decision.
Guo Qinjun has always sent people to guard not far from Wenyuan Pavilion, which enabled her to get the news as soon as possible.
When King Shou was dismissed from his position as Zuo Jianguo, she was greatly disappointed by the news that came back soon. The cabinet actually decided to temporarily not determine the new Right Jianguo after King Lu took over as Zuo Jianguo. What did this mean?
Like a furious lioness, Guo Qinjun clenched her pink fists and her pretty face turned red as she paced back and forth in the hall.
Zhou Peisheng and Zhou Dehai's uncle and nephew hadn't arrived yet, so she couldn't find the right person to talk to for a while, and all the anger and grievances were held in her heart, making it difficult for her to control herself.
"Aren't Zhou Peisheng and the others here yet?" Unable to bear it any longer, Guo Qinjun walked to the door and shouted sternly: "Where have they gone?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has gone to the Renshou Palace, and Mr. Zhou has gone out of the palace." The maid guarding the door timidly replied, too scared to raise her head.
Guo Qinjun glared at the maid, looking displeased from side to side. Just as he was trying to find a reason to drag this bitch out for a whipping, he heard Zhou Peisheng's voice rang over there: "Why are you so anxious to find this old slave?"
?”
"I was looking for you, come in quickly, I have something important to talk to you about." Without bothering to cause trouble for the maid, Guo Qinyun couldn't wait to signal to Zhou Peisheng, and she walked quickly inside.
Seeing Guo Qinjun so irritable and anxious, Zhou Peisheng was also surprised. He had already warned him not to mess up at any time. Concubine Tsuen had been performing well during this period, so why did she show her true colors again today?
"Why is your Majesty like this?" Zhou Peisheng walked with Guo Qinjun into the middle hall and then asked in a dark voice.
"Zhang Chi has been removed from the Zuo Jianguo. It is said that it is related to the assassination of Emperor Tienwangshan who was investigated by Long Jinwei. However, no other measures were taken against Zhang Chi, not even a house arrest. Zhang So succeeded the Zuo Jianguo, leaving a vacancy in the Right Jianguo.
It has come out, but the cabinet is said to be unsure about the new right supervisory country for the time being, and will wait until Jiangnan is pacified before considering it."
Guo Qinjun's silver teeth almost shattered, "If there is no longer a Youjian Kingdom, wouldn't Zhang So become the crown prince and firmly sit on the throne in the future? Peisheng, this must not be like this, Ge'er must
I want to take over as the Right Supervisor!"
Zhou Peisheng also changed slightly when he heard that King Lu was appointed as the governor of the left country instead of the governor of the right country. This was too unfavorable. The princes who had never served as the governor of the country almost quit the competition, and King Shou was dismissed, and even more
If there is no way to compete, Mei Yuexi will definitely try her best to keep Zhang So's position as the Left Supervisor, and then try to prevent the establishment of the Right Supervisor in the future.
"Why doesn't the imperial court set up a Youjianguo? What's the reason?" Zhou Peisheng also couldn't understand. Didn't they originally agree to take turns to train? When King Shou comes down, it will be King Fu's turn to compete with King Li and King Gong.
"It's not clear yet. It was agreed upon at the Xiaochao meeting, but it was said that it was only temporarily uncertain who would take over the position of Youjianguo. It did not say that there would not be a Youjianguo." Guo Qinyun tried to calm down his emotions, "As long as it is not said
If not, then there is still a chance, and it is not necessarily a bad thing. If you really want to confirm it immediately, Ji'er is too young, has only been studying in the academy for a short time, and has not yet gained fame, so he may not be better than Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, and Su Ling.
Yao is not an easy person, and she will definitely do her best to push her son to the top..."
Zhou Peisheng also calmed down, "Your Majesty is right, but this cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long, the court may feel that it is no longer necessary to establish the Youjian State, so this time point must be stuck, and we still have to go
I need to inquire about it to understand the attitude and thoughts of the imperial court, so that I can have a clear target."
"Of course I know this, but even if we have to set it up, how can we ensure that Ji'er's ability is as good as Zhang Qi's and Zhang Ji's?" Guo Qinjun raised her eyebrows again, "Feng Ziying agreed to me at the beginning, so he can get away with it now? It's a beautiful idea.
!”
Zhou Peisheng couldn't laugh or cry, and after thinking for a while he said: "I heard that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan had already fought a good battle when he first entered Shaanxi, established a firm foothold in northern Shaanxi, and the court was also very concerned about it. I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to care about these things now.
