Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 272: Sandpipers and Clams Compete for Closer Benefits (3)
After leaving the Zichen Hall, Liu Bingwen glanced at Wang Su triumphantly and said sarcastically: "It seems that the good days of the chief minister are coming to an end! You are shooting yourself in the foot! You want to drive me away from the cabinet.
Humph, it seems there is no certainty which one of us will be driven away first!"
Wang Su was not annoyed, he just smiled and said calmly: "I am not afraid of the emperor's punishment. Even if I am kicked out of the cabinet, I will come back sooner or later! But now that the number of heirs in the harem is increasing, the number of the Taifu's
The good days are coming to an end!"
Liu Bingwen was stunned for a moment when his thoughts were revealed. He searched his brain and couldn't find a word.
"Hmph, let's see!"
After a long time, he held back a word, then threw up his sleeves and walked away.
One of them left in anger, and Wang Su immediately turned to look at the other one: "If Eunuch Shuangxi is not busy, can you accompany me for a walk?"
With a smile on his face, Eunuch Shuangxi slowly raised his hand and said in a soft voice: "Please, Mr. Chief Assistant!"
Two people, one tall, one short, one fat and one skinny, walked side by side towards the outside of the city.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the two of them suddenly felt extremely cold.
As we look at it, it is now the end of autumn, and the sun is moving westward early.
Wang Su suddenly stopped, looked up at the waning sun, and sighed: "Father, we used to be a close alliance, but now you have abandoned me. This is not very wise!"
Eunuch Shuangxi also stood still, put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Why can't our family understand what Mr. Chief Assistant said!"
Wang Su squinted at him and snorted: "Who in the capital doesn't know that in the hands of your father-in-law Shuangxi, you have black information about everyone, from birth to study to marriage, it can be said to be every detail! You are swaying some officials
, use these black materials to impeach Liu Bingwen, and instigate him and me to make a big fuss. Once the fuss comes before the emperor, won’t you take the opportunity to take back the position of eunuch?"
Eunuch Shuangxi said with a smile: "It is not easy to occupy a place in this imperial city! Our family is old and can no longer make troubles. We just want to live in peace and contentment! What Mr. Wang said
, Our family has never done anything, but we will not let go of things that belong to our family easily!"
Wang Su twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly: "Oh, my father-in-law is really loud! You have been sitting in the position of eunuch of the palm print for too long. It's time for someone else to take the position!"
Hearing him speak so arrogantly, Eunuch Shuangxi's face darkened, and he said softly: "Now that Mr. Wang has angered the emperor, you should think about how to keep your position as chief minister! We don't have to worry about our family's affairs.
You're worried!"
Wang Su raised his eyebrows sideways and sneered: "What do you mean by this, do you still want to take away my position?"
Eunuch Shuangxi glanced at him lightly and asked instead: "Do you think that you are the only one who can take away other people's things, but others can't take away the things in your hands?"
Wang Su immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, mockingly: "Haha, this is the stupidest joke I've ever heard! My father-in-law doesn't really think that someone can touch me, right? Huh, don't forget, you are just a eunuch. You will be here for the rest of your life.
I can only be a slave! I am an indispensable minister of the Emperor!"
Eunuch Shuangxi looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes and a somewhat sinister smile: "Master Chief Assistant, please do not take it lightly! We cannot be the Chief Assistant in our family, but although Liu Bingwen is old and fatuous, he is a relative of the Emperor, and not only does he have the support of the Queen behind him,
, there is also a eldest prince in his hands! It is not impossible for him to be the chief assistant..."
After Wang Su was stunned, he burst into laughter: "That idiot Liu Bingwen? Just because he wants to be the first assistant? In the next life!"
But Eunuch Shuangxi was neither impatient nor impatient, and said with a faint smile: "Hey, Liu Bingwen was indeed close! Then I wonder if the former chief assistant is qualified to be the chief assistant again?"
Wang Su's face immediately darkened and he became alert: "What do you mean by this?"
Could it be that the emperor revealed something?
Or is it that Xia Dang has recently come back to life and is ready to make trouble again?
Eunuch Shuangxi looked up at the gloomy sky and suddenly sighed: "Hey, do you think that after listening to Liu Bingwen's words today, the emperor will start to miss Xia Yunqing, who is not a threat to the imperial power?"
After saying that, he left a meaningful smile, turned around and left slowly.
Winter Solstice - It means that the cathode and the sun rise, and all things grow.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven during the winter solstice symbolizes the rejuvenation of the country and joy with the people.
At the winter solstice of this year, a blizzard that had never happened in a century suddenly hit Shengjing City.
The snow covered the ground all night long, the wind stirred the snow, the snow wrapped in the wind, and there was chaos between heaven and earth. The whole town was deserted, and all the people stayed in their houses and refused to go out.jj.br
However, before dawn, all civil and military officials in official uniforms from the court had gathered in front of Ziwei Palace.
Just after the hour passed, with the sound of "Open the door...", Shidianya music played, and the Changqing Gate and Daqing Gate on the left and right slowly opened.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, led by Wen Wusheng and Wu Wusheng, braved the wind and snow, solemnly stepped into the door, walked to the Daqing Hall and stood up straight.
At this time, it was freezing cold and snowy, but in front of the Daqing Hall there were colorful flags and melodious rituals and music.
Beiyu's most powerful golden armor guards lined up to enter the venue.
Yan Rong, who was walking at the front, held his head high and his chest high, looking majestic, with a look of arrogance and contempt on his face.
Nearly a thousand guards behind him marched in neat steps and looked lively.
Emperor Yu and the Queen came together and walked slowly into the Daqing Hall and bowed politely.
Emperor Yu led everyone to their respective seats, each took his or her seat, and each kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times from his seat. It took him two hours of hard work in the snowstorm to finish.
It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but every minister looked up at the dark wind and snow, and could not help but secretly speculate - whether the coming year will be smooth and prosperous is still unknown, but the DPRK will definitely be an unstable year!
At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, it is customary to pardon some officials who have committed crimes and make mistakes, and in special cases, some graceful clothes will be given to show the emperor's great kindness.
Eunuch Shuangxi cleared his throat, took a step forward, slowly unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict, and read out the list of pardoned officials in a low voice.
The officials below listened intently and breathlessly to each name on the list, sometimes looking happy, sometimes gritting their teeth.
After the list of hundreds of people was read out, everyone present had their own thoughts.
After hearing the list of pardons, Wang Su came up with a plan. He immediately took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have objections to this list!"
All the ministers were shocked. Although they did not dare to look up at Tianyan, they all looked at Wang Su sideways, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
Emperor Yu looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Oh? I wonder what your master's advice is?"
Wang Su was overjoyed and immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think Xia Yunqing's official position is a bit low. On this day of universal celebration, he should be promoted to show the emperor's great kindness."
Everyone present was suspicious when they heard this: Wang Su and Xia Yunqing have always been sworn enemies. Now that Xia Yunqing has been demoted, according to Wang Su's character, he should be trampled to death so that he will never recover!
Now, he wants to speak for Xia Yunqing and suggest that the emperor promote him. This is really abnormal! Wang Suding must be hiding some conspiracy and is waiting for Xia Yunqing to arrive!
This is also true: Wang Su knew that after becoming the chief minister, he was a little too showy and angered the emperor.
He has been neglected recently!
After thinking about it, he wanted to take the opportunity to promote his former rival, firstly to show his generosity and selflessness; secondly, he also wanted to remind the emperor that compared with Xia Yunqing, who was stubborn and gave the emperor a headache, he was the emperor's
Beloved!
Emperor Yu's eyes were sharp and he stared at him for a long time before speaking slowly: "Xia Yunqing was not demoted because of his guilt, so why should he be pardoned and reinstated? If I really agreed to you, wouldn't he become a sinner?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Wang Su who looked pale.
He bowed deeply and apologized with a smile, "I don't know the whole story. It was an unintentional mistake. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Emperor Yu's face was still calm and calm, and he just said softly: "What Aiqing said is right, of course I must forgive you! As you said, Xia Yunqing's current position is indeed too low, why not let him
Let him be reinstated!"
These words from the Emperor were like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, causing everyone present to be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. They were stunned.
Wang Su staggered a few times before he managed to stand still, but his face was as white as paper, dripping with cold sweat, and he hesitated for a long time with his mouth wide open, unable to utter a single word.
Everyone knows that before Xia Yunqing left Beijing, he was the chief assistant, but now Wang Su is the chief assistant!
There cannot be two chief assistants in the cabinet. If Xia Yunqing comes back and continues to serve as chief assistant, then where will Wang Su go?
Mr. Shuangxi was secretly happy and his face was filled with glow.
He immediately bowed his hands and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The current chief assistant within the cabinet is Lord Wang Su. If Lord Xia comes back to continue to be the chief assistant, wouldn't there be two chief assistants in the cabinet?
Already?"
When he said this, he deliberately raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Su, who was stunned, with a look of ridicule on his face.
Emperor Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since Xia Yunqing has been reinstated, Wang Su should also be reinstated!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present immediately became confused:
Wang Su's party members all looked earth-colored, frightened, and took a breath of cold air.
The courtiers who admired Xia Yunqing as a person were all happy and happy, and they all looked forward to Xia Shoufu's return.
Wang Su was devastated and stood there dumbfounded. No matter how violent the snowstorm was, he remained motionless, as if he had been frozen in the snow and turned into a stone statue.
----------------------------------------
The weather has become increasingly cold and freezing since the beginning of winter. Heavy goose-feather snow covers the ground, and there are two clear lines of cars on the flawless mountain road.
Between the vast white sky and the earth, there was only a simple carriage moving hard on the snow.
Everything was silent except for the sound of wheels crushing the snow.
Not even a single bird could be seen in the gray sky, only a bunch of clouds packed together like cotton wool.
The horse driver huddled in front of the car. Although he was wearing a heavy cotton coat, he was still frozen by the frost.
The reins hung with frost in his hands led the two old horses that were breathing heavily and walked forward at an extremely slow pace.
This carriage came out of Youzhou and headed all the way to southern Xinjiang. The person sitting in the carriage was Xia Yunqing, who had just been promoted to prefect.
He held a warm hand stove, leaned in the carriage, closed his eyes and chanted slowly: "The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. How can we survive now? There will be strong winds and waves, and we will hang up our sails and sail across the sea!"
Suddenly, he opened the car door a crack and shouted outside: "Old Zhang, please park the carriage aside and come in to warm up for a while!"
Lao Zhang exhaled and said: "We have to go into the city as soon as possible in this damn weather! If we stay outside for a while, the horses may freeze to death! This time you are promoted, I guess there will be a lot of people picking you up at the door, so we still
Just bear with it a little longer!"
Dusk falls and the mountains look vast.
The carriage jolted all the way and finally arrived at the city gate, but had to stop far away.
The car door was opened, Xia Yunqing stuck his head out and asked: "Old Zhang, are you here?"
Lao Zhang was full of surprise and said in a stunned tone: "Well... that... Sir, look at the city gate..."
