Chapter 378: In the Hall of Xihe, the political struggle re-emerges

 A horse passes between the windows, and a black flying rabbit walks.

The small year of the fourteenth year of Chongping passed quickly with Xue Pan being sent to Dali Temple to be beaten, and the Ningguo Mansion family celebration banquet.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

The incident of Xue Pan's case did not cause even the slightest disturbance in Rong Ning's second house. Even Jia's mother just sighed for a while. No matter what her emotions or opinions were, under the four words "human life is at stake", all

The flags and flags died down.

As for Jia Heng's "righteousness to destroy relatives", because Xue Pan did not lose his life, he did not say that he disowned his relatives?

Because there is a broad social consensus on the concept of murder for life.

Since he is not dead, then Uncle Heng has done his best.

Besides, I just helped the Xue family not long ago, sent troops to search the mountains, helped with the audits, and begged for the palace's grace to keep the imperial merchant's job. These were all things that happened a few days ago. How can I say that?

Is it a bit disrespectful?

It can only be said that Xue Pan caused too much trouble.

This is probably the mainstream public opinion in Ning Rong's second mansion.

As for public opinion in Beijing, there are mixed opinions.

In this way, time flies by, and soon it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Ningrong and Rongfu are worshiping their ancestors in the ancestral hall with great fanfare. All kinds of things are in place. Both houses have changed their door gods, couplets, signs, and new peach charms, giving them a completely new look.

The hall, the warm pavilion, the inner hall, the three inner doors, the inner ritual door and the inner hanging door, all the way to the main hall, the main door is wide open, and there are tall red candles on both sides of the steps, lit like two golden dragons.

Jia Heng led the men, women, and children of the Jia clan to gather in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. At the time of Xu, the female relatives of the two houses celebrated a banquet in Tianxiang Tower, and then they all dispersed.

In the study room of Ningguo Mansion, there is a lamp like a bean and a clear beam. A thin figure is writing at the desk.

Jia Heng is writing a congratulatory note. Tomorrow morning he will have to go to the palace to congratulate the emperor. At that time, the officials will write a congratulatory note to celebrate the New Year's Eve, and he also needs to handwrite a congratulatory note.

However, in addition to the more than 100 characters at the beginning of the poem, which are parallel to four and six, which should be made in accordance with the time, he also prepared a policy at the bottom to present to the emperor.

I finished writing hard and waited for the pen and ink to dry. Suddenly I heard the sound of jingling rings. The light jingling sound echoed in the small hall through a brocade screen. Along with the fragrant fragrance, a graceful and graceful figure came out.

Here it is Qin Keqing.

"Husband." Qin Keqing approached and said softly.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qin Keqing and asked warmly: "It's so late and you still haven't slept?"

After thinking about it, he seemed to have some realization, and smiled and said, "I will go to the palace to pay my respects early tomorrow morning, but you are a little worried."

Qin Keqing sat on the chair next to Jia Heng, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows, gentle and soft, and said softly: "Husband, I can't sleep, for fear of losing my etiquette."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Hey, the old lady didn't come to see you for advice?"

This is a joke.

Qin Keqing said softly: "The old lady gave me special instructions this afternoon."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "The old lady is Mrs. Rongguo. She has entered the palace many times. She must be familiar with the etiquette procedures for meeting the queen mothers of the two palaces. You go there with the old lady and be more careful.

There will be no hindrances to you, the Queen Mother is respectful to the world, has a broad mind, and is incomparable to others."

As I talked, I couldn't help but think of Empress Song.

Qin Keqing nodded, turned his head, looked at the tables on the cases, and said, "Husband, what is written here?"

"The congratulatory form will be used to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow." Jia Heng smiled lightly and said.

Yong'anfang, Yangzhai

In the study, the lights are brightly lit and the figures look longingly.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Guochang, the scholar of Huagaidian, Qi Kun, the minister of household affairs, Pang Shilang, the minister of rites, Peng Ye, the left deputy imperial censor, and Liu Yuzhong, the imperial wine minister, were sitting on wooden chairs and seemed to be discussing something secretly.

"Father."

Suddenly, a tall and tall figure was reflected on the screen. Yang Sihong, the eldest son of Yang Guochang, walked lightly into the inner room. The orange lights reflected Guanyu's elegant face.

Facing Yang Guochang's inquiring gaze, Yang Sihong said: "Father, just now, Academicians Lu and Xu have agreed to remonstrate with the Lord to stop the military parade. They have received strong support from many elites from the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

At the beginning, Li Zan suggested that Emperor Chongping should restore the system of Taizu and Taizong and revive military parades to cheer up people's hearts. This proposal was approved by Emperor Chongping, but Yang Guochang did not dare to object openly at that time, and today he is trying to stop it.

Yang Guochang took a deep breath, looked around at the party officials with his old eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it has been more than twenty years since the emperor stopped the military parade in the 15th year of Longzhi, which wasted people and money, and now Li Dajun,

For the selfish interests of one party, I have followed a treacherous and sycophantic child, who wants to disrupt the order of civil and military affairs and bring trouble to the imperial court. I am the head of the imperial court and cannot agree to it. Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, the Holy Admiral will hold a banquet for all the ministers at Xihe Palace. We will lend you a congratulatory form.

, vigorously explain its shortcomings, and remonstrate with the Holy One."

He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the civil and military regulations should not be ruined by him. Even if he is hated by the Holy Spirit for doing so, he must be correct in his words.

And tomorrow is New Year's Eve. As long as the ministers criticize, according to the usual practice, the emperor will accept the remonstrance humbly and calm down the public opinions. He also needs to discuss it carefully, so that there will not be another military parade on the first day of the first lunar month. This matter will be done.

Half of it.

To put it bluntly, Yang Guochang wanted to launch a surprise attack without giving Emperor Chongping and Li Zan, who supported the matter, time to react.

Qi Kun looked solemn and said in deep thought: "Thank you for your grace, the holy will has been decided long ago. Will this move cause the wrath of the Holy Lord Long Yan?"

After all, this move was suspected of coercion. Once Emperor Chongping became angry, it would not end well.

Yang Guochang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Holy Master is good at accepting advice and will not be angry because of this. Qingliu has been grudges for a long time. Otherwise, with their arrogance, how could they be the first to raise objections? We are just following the current."

The real reason is that even if the emperor knew that he was involved in this matter, he would not overturn the table as long as his old bones were needed.

Not to mention, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, when all the people are celebrating, will the emperor be so angry that he will punish people?

Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, said in a cold voice: "Mr. Ge, I thought that military parades had been suspended for decades. Mr. Li Ge had not thought of this before. It must have been caused by Jia Heng's son. He congratulated the Ge from the outside.

The old man made his son famous all over the world because of his virtuous conduct. However, this son was ungrateful and criticized Mr. Ge because of the case of a scholar being beaten. As a result, Mr. Ge returned to his hometown. Now he has stolen the power of the capital camp with little merit and made him a

If the military man opens his eyes, if he continues to be rampant, I am afraid that Chao Gang will be corrupted by such a traitor."

At the beginning, He Juncheng, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites, became famous for the "Cijue Biao" written by Jia Heng. Later, he was tired of being a public servant because of Jia Heng's case for Fan Yi, so he returned to his hometown as an official.

As for the officials in the Ministry of Rites, many of them were embarrassed because of this, and many people had opinions about Jia Heng.

Of course, it is not known whether Minister Pang was close to Yang Guochang in order to take over the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Guochang said in a deep voice: "Jia Heng, this son of Gu, is a traitor and a loyal person. I heard the day before yesterday that relatives who have violated the criminal law will be sent to Dali Temple for execution."

Qi Kun frowned and said: "My subordinates also know a little about this matter. I heard that the young master of the Xue family, an in-law of the Jia family, caused a life-threatening lawsuit in the ancestral home of Jinling. Jia Ziyu took him to Dali Temple, and Xu

It’s Jia Ziyu who is upright and upright.”

Regarding this matter, Jia Ziyu said that there was nothing inappropriate.

Yang Guochang shook his head and said: "Yan Xuan, why did this person become famous in Shilin in the first place? He resigned from his title, but now who is the successor of Ningguo? Who is in charge of the capital camp now? Han Feizi said, what happened

It is beneficial to rise up, and the city owner... Now that Xue family son injured someone's life, he should have sacrificed his life to uphold the laws and regulations of the country, but now Jia Heng has to face the emperor with a trivial matter, and the emperor is hindered by his kindness.

We can only open one side of the net, but Jia Heng has a reputation for righteousness and killing relatives, and the Xue family is given a light sentence. Yan Xuan, don't you think it's suspicious?"

Qi Kun frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Ziyu is in charge of the capital camp. Isn't it because of his contribution to quelling the rebellion?"

"If he were not the lord of Ning Kingdom, would the Holy Emperor allow him to be a young boy in charge of the capital?" Peng Ye, the left deputy censor, sneered. It was unclear whether he was disdainful of Jia Heng or Qi Kun.

When Qi Kun heard the words, he thought for a moment and said: "Master Peng's words are not unreasonable."

Yang Guochang's eyes were filled with worry, and he said: "This son has achieved his ambition at a young age, and it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for our Han Dynasty in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Kun's face suddenly changed, and he said in shock and confusion: "En Xiang, this... this has never happened in our dynasty since the founding of the country. I think the second Duke Ning Rong was also a young man in charge of the army. Is this what En Xiang said?

Are you a little over-concerned?”

Yang Guochang shook his head and said: "Next year, Mr. Li Ge will go to the north to supervise the division. This person will probably be in charge of the capital camp. At such a young age, his temperament is unstable, but if he bribes and woos people with intentions, he will endanger the country and the consequences will be unimaginable. As for Ning Rong

The Second Duke has received so much favor from the Emperor that he cannot be compared to the humble concubine."

If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, people like this would never get a chance, but today's Han Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. If we let people like this take control of the military, we are afraid that reckless things will happen again in the future.

Qi Kun looked solemn and was silent for a moment.

Yang Guochang said coldly: "No matter what, this Jia Ziyu needs to be suppressed."

Yongyefang, Tangqiao Hutong

The night was dark, and the lamp in the study was as bright as a bean.

Li Zan, the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War, was holding a book in the room and reading it attentively by the light. There was already a written New Year's greeting list on the table.

For this Tanhua of Bingchenke during the Longzhi period, it was not difficult to write such a beautiful and eulogizing letter.

Li Zan put down the book in his hand and looked through the light. The blue title page clearly read the four characters "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"After this year, I will go to Peiping." Li Zan thought, putting down the book in his hand, his slender, cold face also showed a bit of sadness.

I don’t know when I will leave Beijing now, but the storm in Beijing is getting more and more violent.

He raised his eyes and looked at the quiet night outside the window, feeling a little lost for a moment.

After he leaves, the two parties in Qi and Zhejiang will fight against each other in the court. Will it trigger a new round of party disputes in the court?

"With the power of the Holy One, it should not be difficult to calm down the party strife, suppress the situation in the court, and make Yang and Han work together."

Li Zan loosened his frown, thought this way, and sighed softly.

The night was dark, the moon was bright, and firecrackers sounded from time to time outside.

At this time, a woman entered the house, holding a lantern, and said softly: "My lord, it's late at night, it's time to rest. I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Li Zan raised his eyes to look at his old wife, nodded and said, "I'm going to sleep now."

Turning out the lights, the study suddenly fell into darkness.

The next day, Ningrong Street,

Early in the morning that day, when the sky was just bright and the drums were beating, the carriages of the Ningrong and Rong mansions were lined up on Ningrong Street. All the wives of the Ningrong and Rong mansions were wearing their royal makeup and riding in eight large sedans.

I went to the palace to meet the two empresses of the palace.

Jia Heng also mounted a horse, led his servants, and guarded the female family members, and headed towards the palace.

According to the Chen-Han ceremony, the Chongping Emperor summoned the fifth-rank and above dignitaries in Beijing on New Year's Eve in the Xihe Hall. The ministers gave banquets and accepted court greetings. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were official court ceremonies, sacrifices to heaven, etc.

matters.

At this time, it was the darkest period before dawn, and the lights were on in every household in the 108 squares of Shenjing.

Not only the Jia family's carriages and horses, but also the female relatives of other officials marched towards Anshun Gate with their glowing lanterns like a long dragon.

At this moment, the Military and Horse Division, Jinyi Mansion, and Beijing Camp of the five cities in central Beijing were almost all alert, and they were conducting control in both light and dark areas to prevent things from disturbing the officials and their families.

In a sedan chair, Qin Keqing opened the bamboo curtain with one hand, and through the bamboo curtain, with the faint light passing through, he looked up at the city of Shenjing at dawn.

The girl is brightly dressed, wearing a emerald crown on her head, with necklaces hanging down from her temples. By her ears, she has a face with hibiscus stamens as white as snow, a rose-like figure, and an indescribable beauty. She looks at the rows of shop porches on both sides of the street.

, the hanging lanterns passed by each other, and I was a little lost for a moment.

His soft, watery eyes immediately fell on the young man in a python suit, riding on a horse not far ahead. A peaceful smile appeared on his cheeks, and waves of peace filled his heart.

"Grandma, you should enter the palace soon. I have grown so big and I haven't entered the palace yet." Baozhu in the carriage said with a chuckle.

Ruizhu also chuckled and said: "I heard from Sister Yuanyang that we are waiting outside the palace garden and are not allowed to enter Kunning Palace."

Qin Keqing listened to the two maids who had grown up together talking happily. She smiled brightly on her gorgeous jade face, but she still solemnly warned: "The rules in the palace are strict. After you enter, follow the mandarin ducks and don't go around.

Running around."

"Yes, grandma." Baozhu, Ruizhu quickly responded honestly.

In the palace garden, on the white marble square in front of Kunning Palace, vermilion lanterns were hung high, illuminating the red ridge with jade-like light.

The eldest princess of Jinyang, attended by her nuns and female officials, took the little princess's hand and got out of a carriage with eight treasure hairpins and glazed windows.

Compared with the imperial decree which prohibited carriages from driving deep into the palace grounds, the eldest princess of Jinyang, as the emperor's sister and the only daughter of the Empress Dowager Feng, was specifically allowed to drive on the royal road.

"Your Royal Highness, the empress is already waiting for you in the front hall." Ruier, the personal officer beside the queen, led several maids and came forward to greet her with a smile.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was dressed in a bright red dress, her temples were pulled high, and the phoenix wings on her emerald crown were shining. Her bright and moving face had a smile as bright as a peach blossom in February, and she said: "Lead the way."

As he entered the palace, he couldn't help but look back at the brightly lit palace gate, his beautiful eyes twinkling, and he secretly said: "He will also bring his family to the palace today, and I don't know if he will be able to see him."

Suppressing the longing and resentment in my heart, I walked into the main hall of Kunning Palace, where the royal banquet was held.

Here, the convoys of Jia Heng and Ning Rong also entered the palace from Anshun Gate. The sky was already brighter. Jia Heng was separated from Qin Keqing, Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others, and they were in an internal prison.

Under the guidance of the leader, he walked towards Xihe Hall.

Because Mrs. Gaoming gathered in Kunning Palace, outsiders were not allowed to enter without permission.

Xihe Hall, the hall is brightly lit, with brocade embroidered curtains and longing figures.

Emperor Chongping, wearing the royal crown and twelve crowns on his head, was sitting on a long table behind a long table. The maidservants and eunuchs who were bowing to serve him, with respectful expressions, lined up on the left and right.

Outside the eaves and pillars of the corridor outside the palace, there is a team of internal guards, warriors holding Luo banners, and even more brocade guards wearing mountain-shaped wingless crowns and flying fish brocade uniforms to serve as guards of honor.

Along with the fifth rank and above in the capital, all civil and military officials lined up in civil and military columns, led by Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, from the jade steps outside the palace, holding wat tablets, straightening their expressions, and entered the solemn and solemn palace to pay their respects to Emperor Chongping.

.

The red clouds gushed out from the east, the sun suddenly jumped out, the morning glow shone on a corner of the palace, the glazed tiles reflected colored light, and the sky suddenly brightened up.

"I have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Amidst the shouts of "Long Live Your Majesty." Emperor Chongping's expression became gentler than before. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and all the civil and military officials stood up one after another.

As in previous years, the Hanlin Academy should present a congratulatory form.

This year, at the behest of Liu Zheng, the prefect of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Li, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, still used his graceful diction and talent to represent the Hanlin Academy and recite the congratulatory form as a tribute.

Lu Li has a handsome face and a figure like a orchid and jade tree. He holds a congratulatory watch in his hand and recites.

A clear voice sounded.

A congratulatory note, written in parallel four and six characters, with gorgeous words, sounded like the sound of broken jade in the main hall.

Lu Li bowed and said, "I congratulate you, Your Majesty."

A smile appeared on Emperor Chongping's face and he said, "Scholar Lu has a flat body."

Lu Li often went to the palace to give banquets, and he was outstanding in talent and learning. He was the number one scholar at that time.

However, Lu Li did not return to class. Instead, he had a make-up, put on his face, bowed his hands and bowed again, and said loudly: "I, Lu Li, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, have died in ignorance of your Majesty's honor."

When some ministers in the palace heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and you’re going to die without warning? What is Lu Li doing? Is he trying to offend Yan Zhijian?

But isn’t it today to congratulate the Emperor?

Lu Li faced a crowd of surprised and uncertain eyes, but turned a blind eye. He was even a little excited. Today was the beginning of his name in history and his fame for generations to come.

Lu Li put on a facelift and calmed down his expression, and said in a deep voice: "I was shocked to hear that Your Majesty listened to what Mr. Li said and held a military parade outside the Anshun Gate on the first day of the morning. I secretly thought that the military parade would waste people and money and disturb China and foreign countries. This is really unacceptable.

.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongping's face darkened and he looked at Lu Li aggressively.

Did Lu Li think it was impossible, or was he instigated by someone behind his back? Moreover, he used the opportunity to offer his advice today, which... simply had ulterior motives.

He even wondered if he had lost control of the government!

The ministers were in an uproar. Han Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Li Zan frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lu Li.

Lu Li's face was firm, and his clear voice was resounding, and he said: "Soldiers are also weapons, and the saints have no choice but to use them. It is the beginning of the new year, and the auspiciousness is harmonious. The saint will parade the troops on the first day of the year to kill the bloody hunters in Shenjing. Swords and weapons are dangerous.

To scold the crowd is to disrespect Haotian."

As soon as these words came out, some officials who didn't know what the situation was like were immediately in an uproar. They disrespected Haotian. Do you dare to make more big words?

Han Huang's expression turned serious and he shouted: "Lu Shidu, what are you talking about?"

There is only one thought in my heart, this is a premeditated, organized and planned political disturbance...

Xu Kaidao, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, said: "Your Majesty, I think what Academician Lu said is true. When the sage is alive, he will cultivate the people with virtues and will not indiscriminately use military force to kill them. Your Majesty, I think that on the same day, all the people will have a military parade."

The matter of promoting martial arts must be done sincerely!"

At this time, the Imperial Academy offered wine and also came out to play the sermon and said: "The holy monarch in the court promotes benevolence and righteousness but does not use swords and weapons. I, Peng Ye, think that it is inappropriate to parade troops and show off their strength."

"I second the proposal." Peng Ye, the deputy governor on the left, went out to play. Although there were only three words, they were of great importance.

At this moment, a thunder sounded in Xihe Hall.

This is a clear attitude!

And the four princes and eight princes were all frightened when they accepted the military honors. Why did such a good person start a fight with each other?

The presence of the old god and king of Nan'an County seemed to turn a deaf ear to the wind and rain in the palace.

Jia Heng was also among the martial arts heroes at this moment, his eyes were uncertain.

Emperor Chongping didn't say a word, because it was New Year's Eve, so he obviously didn't want to and couldn't get angry.

At that time, Li Zan went out to the class and said: "This is the old system of Taizu and Emperor Taizong. It is inherited from the far belt and the Holy Master imitated it. Why do you say it to impact the auspiciousness? Why do you say it to disrespect Haotian? Why do you say it to frighten the crowd? Scholar Lu, you

People who have read poetry and books and have a deep understanding of principles, don’t they hear that they respect the ancestors of heaven and be careful to pursue them? The major events of the Kuang country are only sacrifices to the Rong, sacrifices to heaven, and military parades. This is the canon of our Han Dynasty!"

Because it was Li Zan who made the suggestion, Lu Li's attack was directed at Li Zan.

However, at this time, Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I believe that when the world changes, things will change, and when things change, we will be prepared for changes. Now that I, the great sage king of the Han Dynasty, am in the court, I will educate all the people with etiquette, and my virtue will be passed down to the people.

, Taizong is still here, so there is no need to threaten the sea with swords."

Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, was the first important official of the Six Ministries. However, he clearly insisted on sticking to the old ways, but he adopted a reformist tone, which seemed a bit strange.

Emperor Chongping's brows twitched. If he hadn't known what the big man was like today, he would have really believed these deceptive words.

Following the advice of Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, some of the ministers who were watching could not restrain themselves and began to report. Some of them gave tactful advice, and some of them echoed the opinions of their predecessors.

At this moment, Han Huang, the second assistant to the cabinet, remained silent and watched the scene coldly.

Without him, the Zhejiang Party had to consider the rumors of Shilin.

Therefore, for a time, Li Zan was the only one left to argue in the Xihe Hall, and he seemed somewhat alone.

Yang Guochang looked at this scene with a calm expression, but a sneer sounded in his heart.

This is the human heart!

The Chu Party was unpopular with the military parade and military parade, and disrupted the civil and military order. Even the Chu Party's military headquarters gathered together and no one came out to support it.

As for the Zhejiang Party, there are even more echoes.

This is the general trend, the great trend!

He just wants to drag this matter to the court for discussion. The Holy Emperor will definitely not argue this issue in the temple, so the military parade will be shelved.

There were no smile lines on Emperor Chongping's stern face. He glanced at the ministers below and said, "What else do you have to say? Let's talk about it together."

He originally thought that he could borrow the law established by his ancestors and discuss it among the people. Unexpectedly, the silence of the court for several days turned out to be a violent public outcry!

It’s really just a matter of silence and a blockbuster!

As soon as these words came out, all the officials below felt a chill in their hearts, and they could keenly detect the anger in the emperor's tone.

In a depressing and weird atmosphere, Yang Guochang knew that it was time for him to appear. Trembling, he walked out of the courtroom. Can Cang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think the words of the officials are not unreasonable. The New Year is the first day of the year, and it is auspicious.

Jihe, it is not appropriate to dance with Qianqi to promote military affairs. As for what Li Ge said, it is for the military affairs of our great Han Dynasty, and it is also a sincere and honest word."

Emperor Chongping said: "Oh?"

He cast a pair of scrutinizing and suspicious eyes on Yang Guochang.

Yang Guochang continued: "Your Majesty, the military parade is not suitable for the first day of the year. If your Majesty wants to practice martial arts, it can be performed in the Beijing camp. The campus of the Beijing camp is vast and there are soldiers and horses galloping around. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

There is no point in simply irritating the emperor. The emperor needs to be given an alternative, which is both a step and a way to ease the tense atmosphere in the Xihe Palace.

In fact, what Yang Guochang and civilian officials opposed was not the military parade, but the political significance behind it.

Using culture to suppress force, civilian politics is being shaken.

Originally, Emperor Chongping thought that using the name of his ancestors to carry out this matter would not go wrong, but it was obviously not the case. The civil officials were dissatisfied, but the cabinet reached an agreement and did not dare to speak out.

At this moment, if someone pierces this layer of window paper, many people will spontaneously move closer.

This is the reason why the Zhejiang Party is silent, even those within the Chu Party are silently responding.

As for the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, I was originally happy to see it happen because it was a good thing!

But now the situation in the DPRK is so turbulent. Who knows if these civil servants are luring snakes out of their holes and scheming against them. They neither dare to agree nor refute.
