Even if Chen Tong did not invite Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen himself went to Funing Hall. It has been his habit for many years to greet Liu E every day.
Liu E stood up from her seat, took Zhao Zhen into the palace courtyard, and said as if taking a walk in the afternoon: "I heard that today the officials asked Ye An about Wang Qinruo's resurrection, but Ye An did not
Tell the officials the reason?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My Lady, I have always been puzzled. Since Wang Qinruo is regarded as a traitor by the courtiers, why did the Lady want to resurrect him and become prime minister again?"
"Because the dispute between Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian has become increasingly fierce. The dispute between the two parties seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent!"
Liu E criticized a small pond in the palace and said: "Guan family, this small pond is calm on the surface, but under the water, there are daily battles with Zheng Huan, big fish eating small fish, but official affairs happen almost every day."
Can you see home? You can only see the calm above the water."
"The court is already fighting with Ruosi?"
Zhao Zhen didn't believe it, but looking at Liu E's serious expression, he still hesitated. In his opinion, although there were some disagreements among the officials in the court, it was not serious.
But Liu E shook her head slightly: "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have appointed Wang Qinruo as a political advisor, and given him the noble title of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace Envoy, Zhaowenguan University Scholar, etc.
When the forces of the two sides are in a stalemate, what should we do if we don’t want any of them to become powerful?”
Liu E's words were very straightforward, and Zhao Zhen understood instantly: "What do you mean by the eldest empress, do you not want either Xianggong Wang or Xianggong Lu to gain power and have such great power that they can influence the government?"
Liu E showed a pleased expression and said: "The official's wisdom hit the mark!"
Zhao Zhen finally showed his pride, but at the same time he murmured to himself: "What can Ye An do to cover up such a thing?"
"Ye An pursues Confucianism and Taoism in his heart and does not want the government to be involved in such power and tactics."
Lan Jizong and Chen Tong, the younger and younger servants, looked at each other, their hearts full of horror and helplessness. The saint easily resolved the knot in the official's heart and used the simplest and most practical excuse to put this matter away.
Everything is said to be logical and flawless!
A few simple words were enough to dispel the official's doubts. This was an unusual shock to Chen Tong and Lan Jizong. The two stopped talking, but looked at Liu E with more caution and fear.
Zhao Zhen bowed to Liu E and crossed his arms before leaving. His steps were light as he walked, but Chen Tong following him was a little frightened.
This horror did not come from Funing Palace, but from the officials in front of him. After leaving the palace gate of Funing Palace, he vaguely heard the officials' mutterings.
"You always treat me like a child and don't know anything?"
Chen Tong was shocked to realize that the official family was no longer young. As Ye Hou said, at the age of sixteen, he would be the first person to establish a household in a commoner's family.
It can be seen that the officials do not know everything and need the sage to answer it. From this point of view, the sage's move is even a bit cover-up.
Should Chen Tong be pleased with the intelligence of the Guan family, or should he regret the loss of some hard-won family ties in the Tian family.
But before he could react, he saw a small yellow gate hurriedly passing through the Zuo Jiasu Gate towards the Funing Hall. Especially after seeing the official and himself, he also pretended to hide the things in his hands.
In arms.
Chen Tong's eyesight was good and he had already seen the white feather-like thing, and his face suddenly became ugly, but Zhao Zhen was thinking about his own things and didn't notice it at all.
Because of Ye An's influence, he was also more relaxed towards the palace people, and did not care about the hurried look of the little Huangmen who bowed and left in a hurry.
But Xiao Huangmen met Lan Jizong, who had just asked Liu E to resign from the palace. Lan Jizong, who was planning to go home, saw Xiao Huangmen's panic and his messy footsteps, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, his eyes already fixed on him. Looking at the bulging bag in his arms, he frowned and said, "How dare you kill! How dare you steal something from the palace?!"
Xiaohuangmen immediately lowered his head and said: "The high official misunderstood that it is not the things in the palace, but the Zhazi from the two houses!"
"Hu Qin! When will it be your turn to deliver Zhongshu's notes!"
Xiao Huangmen waved his hands and said: "It's not Zha Zi from Zhongshu, it's...it's from the Privy Council."
"Privy Council? The post of Privy Councilor has been vacant for a long time. Why did he suddenly join the post?"
Xiaohuangmen knew that he could not hide it in front of Lan Jizong, and the stakes were very important, so he could only tremblingly take out the zhazi from his arms and said: "It is the zhazi of Chen Yaozuo, the Privy Council Scholar..."
Before Xiao Huangmen finished speaking, Lan Jizong snatched the Zhazi from his hand and said sternly: "You are a murderer who deserves to be punished! How dare you hide the Zhazi in your arms and secretly play the saint's song, in which Why don’t you know the book? Even if you enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you don’t know it?! To dare to violate the laws of our ancestors at such a young age is really a grave sin!"
Seeing that Lan Jizong was really angry, Xiao Huangmen kowtowed and said: "This is what Chen Yaozuo specially ordered. He said that there was chaos in the west but it did not become serious. In the current peaceful and prosperous age, it is the saint who still secretly reports .”
Lan Jizong suddenly frowned: "Chen Yaozuo is a smart and pragmatic man, how could he act like this?" But when he saw the white feathers on the letter, he immediately turned around and said: "I will submit it to the saint now, but if the letter is written to the princes, Knowing this, you cannot escape the crime of violating power, so think about how to deal with it!"
Xiao Huangmen suddenly collapsed on the ground. He didn't expect that listening to Wen Chen's words was wrong, and not stopping was also wrong. What on earth should he do?!
Lan Jizong's words just now actually gave him the answer. All the rules in the palace must be based on the laws of the ancestors. Even Zha Zi of the Privy Council has to go through Zhongshu's pass to enter the Yintai Department. If the prime ministers of the two houses knew about it too late, , will definitely be furious, and this responsibility will naturally fall on the person who communicates.
………………
"Cui Jien deserves to be punished for his crime! Zhou Congzhi, Zhang Qian, and Shi Chongxin are even more stupid! They dare to violate the laws of the country and the dynasty, bully the Western Qiang tribes for small things, and lead them to chaos in Huanzhou for big things! Summon Zhongshu's disciples Pingzhang Shi Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and Wang Qinruo, who participated in the political affairs, entered the Zichen Hall to play against each other!"
After Liu E saw Zha Zi, she fell into a rage. The hosta on her head was replaced with a bang. Listening to her irritation, Liu E took it off and threw it on several tables. Unexpectedly, she used too much force and even slipped and fell to the ground. Falling apart.
Lan Jizong was shocked and turned pale. He bowed and said, "Sage, please don't be impatient. This matter is important and requires a saint to stabilize the situation of the court!"
Lan Jizong's reminder made Liu E calm down a little. She ordered the palace servants to bring a new hairpin and put it on before getting up and heading to the Zichen Palace, while Lan Jizong followed closely behind and did not dare to neglect.
He knew that things in the west were not trivial, especially since Huanzhou was close to Dangxiang. If there was chaos among the Western Qiang tribes, the Dangxiang people would pay attention to it, and they might even take the opportunity to attack the border and plunder Song soil.
The matter may not be big, but it may not be small. But those people the saint mentioned just now do deserve to die. Why did they humiliate those Qiang people for no reason? A group of uncivilized barbarians will use knives and guns when something goes wrong. If you are not careful, you may even attack the state capital.
But at this moment, Lan Jizong didn't know that his guess was correct. Something big had happened in Huanzhou...
