Lu Li looked at the young man opposite him coldly, feeling chilled in his heart.
He was a member of the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to make excuses for the chief minister of the cabinet. Therefore, when the young man in front of him asked the chief minister of the cabinet five times, he could not refute them one by one.
Otherwise, you will really become a yes man for the chief minister of the cabinet.
But like everything else, it will always be a little pale.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't answer, Jia Heng said: "Scholar Lu is a great scholar in the Han Dynasty. He is a literary elite with great talents. Jia Mou admired him a lot before. Now that Yang Ge, the old assistant to the emperor, has made mistakes, he is a Qingliu scholar."
When speaking to an official, he does not go out of his way to correct him, but instead uses the opportunity of offering congratulations to flatter him, agree with him, and make noise with him... Such behavior is something that Jia really dare not compliment."
After setting fire to Yang Guochang, now he is going to give Lu Li a hard blow.
When Lu Li heard this, an evil fire rushed to his forehead, and he said angrily: "How did you know that Mr. Lu didn't go to court to impeach?"
When has he not been impeached for his previous mistakes against the chief minister and ministers?
Jia Heng said coldly: "Then what happened just now? Why did Academician Lu want to stand up for Mr. Yang Ge?"
He just wanted to pin Lu Li down, label him as Party Yang, and destroy his clean aura.
Zhang Mu...
Lu Li's temples twitched, and he said in a cold voice: "Jia Yunhui, Lu is filled with righteous indignation and will cry out if he is not vindicated!"
Jia Heng said: "Then now Mr. Yang Ge has a big fault. Why did Mr. Lu turn a blind eye and know but didn't say anything?!"
The persona you set up is to scream when injustice is done, but you are going to scream?
"You..." Lu Li's face changed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu will be impeached in the future, but the two things go hand in hand. Lu still thinks that military parades and military parades are frivolous, waste people and money, and are of no use facing the enemy.
!”
Jia Heng looked at this scene and stopped looking at Lu Li.
The victory was decided, because Lu Li had no choice but to impeach the chief minister later, but he did not forget to attack the military parade again. To put it bluntly, it was to maintain his character.
Yang Guochang and I have nothing to do with each other. I am a righteous man who brings his own food and fights for injustice.
As soon as Lu Li's urgent words came out, some of the courtiers in the palace had strange expressions on their faces and secretly thought, is this Jia Heng forcing Lu Li, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, to "rebellion" and impeach the chief minister?
In fact, it cannot be said to be a rebellion. Originally, the Hanlin Academy did not always listen to the cabinet's call. Previously, it was just because everyone gathered together temporarily for a common enemy.
Now that I see that I am going to be burned, I naturally have to protect my body wisely.
Only when Yang Guochang heard this, his vision went dark and he almost couldn't breathe again.
I cursed in my heart, capricious, shameless person!
As the dust settled on Jia Heng and Lu Li's argument, no one came out to speak again, and the Xihe Palace was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
The reason is not only that Jia Heng's words are sharp, but also that Jia Heng has only been an official for a short period of time, so he does not have many black spots for criticism.
He had achieved great success not long ago. It was because of the halo and momentum that he was invincible.
On Jia Heng's side of the room, his eyes glanced at Peng Ye, the left deputy imperial censor, who had just criticized him, and Pang Shilang, the minister of rites, and his eyes first fell on the face of Liu Yuzhong, who was drinking at the Imperial Academy.
Well, I forgot to refute this just now.
However, when Jia Heng stared at him with cold eyes, Liu Yuzhong, who was drinking at the Imperial Academy, had a sudden thought and hurriedly looked away.
Meet each other's eyes, don't dare to look away!
No one else, compared to the troll-type Qingliu like Zuo Fudu Censor, and the scholar-type Qingliu like Liu Yuzhong, he cherishes feathers more than anyone else. If he was questioned today and was dumbfounded, he would even be scolded to the heart of the officials.
",The consequences could be disastrous.
For a moment, the Xihe Palace fell into an eerie silence.
Some people are thinking about Jia Heng's "Ping Lu Ce", some are thinking about Jia Heng's "Five Questions to the First Assistant", and others are thinking about those two lines of poems, and they feel that the more they read, the more they are written.
Words are not easy to write.
Some officials even make it their motto.
Gou......
And after this incident, or the promotion of "people with good intentions", through "Pinglu Ce" and the poems Jia Heng read, the world will inevitably spread the news about this court congratulations dispute, and Jia Heng will be blamed for the cabinet chief minister.
Yang Guochang's questioning also spread throughout the provinces and counties of the Han Dynasty, shaking the authority of the chief minister of the cabinet.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was sitting upright on the golden chair, with a cold face, and his eyes were wandering around the ministers below. As a man who had seen all the disputes just now, his mood was very incomparable.
Nowadays, hearing the words of the scholars of your country is like listening to immortal music, and my ears are temporarily bright.
An unparalleled national scholar, with the appearance of a famous minister, the brilliance of a general, and the talent of playing music!
Not only Emperor Chongping, but also the Grand Scholar of the Cabinet and the Minister of War, Li Zan, were also looking at the young man with surprised expressions at this moment. He looked like a famous minister, and it would be even better if he was a civil servant.
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, glanced at the young man and frowned.
He and Jia Ziyu were old acquaintances.
Emperor Chongping cast his eyes aggressively at the young man who was still bowing to ask questions. His heart was still a bit hot, and his trembling voice contained a bit of uncontrollable excitement.
"Jia Qing is dead."
Emperor Chongping called out, and was about to open his mouth to put an end to the argument. Seeing Jia Heng bowing and not moving, he felt a certain firm will of the young man, sighed, and said: "Jia Qing's impeachment proposal is not urgent.
It can be decided, and we will discuss it later in the year. Now all the ministers still need to celebrate the New Year. Tomorrow’s official ceremony will be held before the military parade and military parade. Jia Qing still needs to make more preparations."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers who originally opposed the military parade looked ugly, but they did not dare to stand up and oppose it again.
At this point, the trend is set!
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "The Holy One, the Holy Ming."
He knows better than anyone else that the removal of a chief minister cannot be decided by him alone, but he fired the first shot to "defeat Yang".
The rest will be left to civil servants like Han Huang to launch after the festival.
And from the emperor's treatment, he could also detect the subtle changes in the emperor's attitude towards Yang Guochang.
After all, the fame that Yang Guochang has achieved today somewhat offends Long Yan.
If it could be done before, it would be fine, and it might eliminate the emperor's resentment. But now that he is questioning him in public and losing face, how can the emperor not murmur in his heart?
"If Han Huang is not stupid, he should know that this is his only chance." Jia Heng thought and glanced at Han Huang standing on the train in front of him.
Because his back was turned to him, he couldn't see any change in his expression.
Coincidentally, Han Huang, who had been silently watching the fire from across the bank, suddenly came out of the class holding an ivory jade wat and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me how to prepare for the ceremony of worshiping the heaven tomorrow."
It can be regarded as a temporary rewrite of the topic just discussed.
Emperor Chongping said: "Sacrificing ancestors and worshiping heaven is a national ceremony, and it is prepared by Taichang Temple together with the Ministry of Rites."
Below, the Minister of Rites was bowing down to serve him. When Pang Shilang heard these words, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.
Since He Juncheng, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites, took office, Pang Shilang has actually been in charge of the Ministry of Rites. The worship of heaven in the eastern suburbs of the first month, according to previous years, should be led by the Ministry of Rites. In collaboration with Taichang Temple, it is now handed over to the ancestral temple.
In Taichang Temple, the emperor's signal has been quite obvious.
You are dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, or you are dissatisfied with the people who used Chao He to cause trouble today.
At this moment, Yang Guochang also listened to Emperor Chongping's words, or felt Emperor Chongping's calm and calm attitude. His body could not help but become a little rickety, and he seemed to be a few years older.
Qi Kun held Yang Guochang's arm and looked at the slightly lost old man with complicated thoughts.
Han Huang's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself that the emperor did not say anything to appease Yang Guochang, maybe...
Today is New Year's Eve after all, and the emperor obviously does not want to continue the debate just now, and does not clearly support Jia Heng's proposal. This is actually a wise move.
At this time, Emperor Chongping waved his hand and said: "Dai Quan, it's getting late. Let's pass on the banquet."
After a heated debate among the officials in the palace, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the future. Before entering the palace, some officials had simply eaten some breakfast, and they had just spent a lot of time, mostly because they were hungry and thirsty.
At this moment, Dai Quan, who was standing at the side with a bow, was originally watching the debate below with trepidation. After hearing these words, his spirit trembled, and he quickly said: "I obey the order."
…
…
Kunning Palace
While the ministers in the Xihe Palace were arguing about the military parade, Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong were chatting and laughing in low voices with a group of imperial concubines, but in fact, more than half of their minds were outside the palace, worried.
The movement in Xihe Palace.
She was not worried about others, but worried about the emperor.
Those ministers in front of me are really so good at celebrating the New Year, and they have to make such a fuss.
At this moment, Qin Keqing looked anxiously outside the palace.
"Your Majesty." At this time, an eunuch entered the palace and bowed to report.
Queen Song asked anxiously: "How to say?"
The imperial lady who was joking at first unconsciously lowered her voice and listened quietly to the eunuch's words.
The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her head and gently put down the tea cup in her hand.
The eunuch said: "Several adults in the Xihe Palace had a dispute over the military parade. Jia Yunhui wrote the "Pinglu Policy" and presented it to His Majesty. The officials were in a furious mood, and Mr. Yang Ge even said
We want to punish the traitors in our country."
"Ping Lu Ce?" Empress Song blinked her beautiful eyes, and there was a look of surprise on her fair and jade-skinned face.
When the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty heard this, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her eyes and thought, could it be that the little man was like a famous official in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and wrote a policy to settle the dispute?
But why is it "Ping Lu Ce" and not "Yang Wu Shu"?
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that this was a strategy to pacify the Huru, and it was more than just a military parade. It undoubtedly showed the pattern and courage.
Princess Chen Han had a high level of literary attainments and was very interested in history.
Not to mention the distant past, in the previous Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian once served as a military commander and left his name in history.
Princess Jinyang's eyes were filled with joy, and an urgent desire suddenly arose in her heart, she just wanted to take a quick look.
Queen Song's eyes narrowed and she asked curiously: "Jing punished the national traitors? Who are the national traitors?"
Could it be that the officials in the Xihe Palace were expressing their determination to share the same hatred against the barbarians, but the national thieves... it doesn't make sense.
The eunuch said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Ge asked the Holy Lord to kill General Yun to thank the world!"
Wow...
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderous explosion. The expressions of all the courtiers and female relatives in Kunning Palace all changed slightly, and they whispered to each other, and their voices gradually became noisy.
"Mr. Yang Ge, Yang Shoufu, is he going to impeach Jia Yunhui?" a lady whispered.
A young-looking Mrs. Gaoming said with a low smile: "Mrs. Zhou, didn't you listen? Are you saying that you are a traitor to the Jing Dynasty?"
At this time, Princess Chu Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled at Princess Qi Xiang who was standing beside her, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, do you think you wrote something treasonous and unethical in Lao Shizi's "Pinglu Ce"?"
Princess Xiang of Qi, dressed in a blue embroidered dress, wearing a hairpin, with gentle eyebrows, said in a soft and waxy voice: "The rare young man of my court was convicted of his words, and the elder of the court impeached Jia Yunhui. Maybe it was because of others.
Nothing is known yet.”
"It seems that this Jia Yunhui has offended the civil servants." Princess Chu Zhen Qing said softly, with a bit of ridicule in her eyes.
Although he said that he was not happy to see the prince marry a daughter of the Jia family, he was a little angry when he was rejected by Jia Heng.
Mother Jia's expression also changed, her old eyes showed a look of fear, and she murmured in a low voice: "Brother Heng...how could he let Mr. Yang Ge impeach him?"
Mrs. Wang listened to the old lady's frightened murmur, and her heart surged with ecstasy. It was no exaggeration to say that her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling slightly. She had to lower her head slightly, and her cheeks were actually
A strange blush appeared.
It's so pitiful that she prays to God and worships Buddha every day. Finally, someone can't stand that person's arrogant face!
Isn’t this the case with Mrs. Xing?
At this time, although his fair face deliberately retained the worry of being a member of the Jia clan, the joy overflowing from the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes had already betrayed his true mood, and his brows were filled with joy, as if it was the New Year.
Qin Keqing has frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her face is as gorgeous as the clouds, and the paper is as white as the sun. She quietly casts her eyes as moist as water outside the palace, as if she is going to travel through time and space.
No wonder Qin Keqing didn't know how powerful it was. Qin Keqing trusted Jia Heng again, and when she suddenly heard a cabinet minister threaten to "kill the national traitor", and the national traitor turned out to be her husband, her heart was inevitably in knots.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked puzzled on her face. She didn't think the emperor brother would do anything to him. She was just celebrating the Chinese New Year, so why did she mention him as a "national thief"?
Princess Xianning was pretty and cold, with concerns lingering in her eyes. She secretly thought, why did your husband get into a dispute with the chief minister of the cabinet?
Queen Song suppressed the surprise in her heart, and her beady voice sounded in the palace: "Xia Shouzhong, go to Xihe Palace and see for yourself what is going on?"
On New Year's Eve, the front palace was full of arguments about government affairs, and the back palace could not sing and dance lightly and ignore them.
Xia Shouzhong bowed his head in response and was about to leave.
Suddenly, another eunuch came in from outside the palace and reported: "Mother, Mr. Yang Ge and several other adults in the front palace impeached General Yunhui. All the officials are saying that General Yunhui has brought trouble to the world and they want to eradicate the traitors."
It is said that when the inner prisoner left Xihe Hall, it was the climax of the impeachment of Jia Heng by the officials.
Of course, it was said that it was a hundred officials, but in fact it was only the Qi Party, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Qingliu of the Hanlin Academy who came out to impeach, but the momentum was huge.
But how can the internal supervisor know this?
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the concubine in the palace was shocked and couldn't express her surprise, secretly thinking, is the Jia family going to be in bad luck?
The eyes of some married women changed when they looked at Jia Mu and other members of the Jia family, and they looked a little playful and gloating.
And more eyes fell on the woman sitting next to Jia Mu, wearing a second-grade imperial uniform.
This woman is the Qin family, the wife of General Yunhui Jia Heng.
"Old sister, is she Jia Heng's wife? She looks a bit colorful." An old woman with gray hair and rich clothes sitting next to Princess Nan'an asked curiously.
This person is the dowager lady of Duke Liguo's mansion, who is also Liu Fang's mother, the Sun family.
Concubine Nan'an smiled, with a somewhat profound look in her eyes, and said, "Yes, she is the daughter of Qin Ye, a doctor in the maintenance department of the Ministry of Industry."
As an old relative of the Jia family, Princess Nan'an still needs to know something about Jia Heng, the new head of the Ning Kingdom, and his family through other people's mouths.
Sun's daughter-in-law, Liu Fang's wife Tang, said softly: "Mother, these daughters from small families have always been praised for their beauty and beauty, but they are not meant to last forever in the back house."
She just looked at it, so enchanting and gorgeous, where does it mean to marry a virtuous wife?
I think General Yunhui was also a young man who was obsessed with women.
Concubine Nan'an said: "Marrying a virtuous wife and taking concubines for sex, although this is the meaning, but the Lord of Ning State was originally a concubine of Ning Mansion, and this Qin family still made a baby marriage with him."
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "It is difficult for poor people to get married, so there are some people who can arrange their marriage early."
In fact, it was not just Princess Nan'an who was pointing fingers at Qin Keqing and Mother Jia secretly, but also other imperial concubines, who were all looking at the beautiful and frowning woman.
Gossip and jealousy are women’s nature.
Qin Keqing's stunning beauty caught the eyes of many younger Madam Gaoming, and there was not a trace of jealousy in their hearts.
Empress Song was also worried about Jia Heng for a while. Her son had just contacted Jia Heng. After this year, he will go to the Wucheng Military and Horse Department to observe the government. What will happen to Jia Heng again...
Just when all the royal family members in Kunning Palace were waiting for Xia Shouzhong's return with different thoughts.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xia Shouzhong left and returned. He came near, bowed and saluted, and called out, "Your Majesty."
Empress Song quickly cast her beautiful eyes towards her with a look of inquiry.
Xia Shouzhong said: "Mother, Jia Yunhui also went out to impeach Mr. Yang Ge. He asked Mr. Yang Ge five times to ask your Majesty to remove him from office. He also argued with the ministers. Mr. Yang seemed to be confused...
"
As he spoke, he revealed the details.
Compared with several internal eunuchs who simply recounted what happened, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, was obviously knowledgeable and had a good memory as he recounted what he had just seen.
The entire Kunning Palace fell into silence, or rather confusion and surprise.
Given the political wisdom of the imperial family, most people don't quite understand what this confrontation means.
But I just feel like, probably, maybe, Jia Heng didn’t suffer a big loss?
Empress Song twisted her delicate eyebrows and said softly: "Where is Your Majesty? How did Your Majesty deal with it?"
At this time, these words also awakened the imperial family members in Kunning Palace. Yes, after all, it still depends on the emperor's will.
Xia Shouzhong's tone was a bit complicated: "His Majesty did not take any action, but just comforted Jia Yunhui with kind words and asked Jia Yunhui to prepare well for the military parade, and then ordered the banquet."
"this……"
The imperial family members in the palace looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
Holy lord, what does this mean?
Of course, it’s not like the imperial family members didn’t comprehend some of the meaning.
The eldest princess of Jinyang suddenly opened her red lips, and her voice was as cold and sweet as the flowing jade from a spring: "Did the Holy One ever say anything to Mr. Yang Ge?"
As soon as these words came out, Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong looked at Xia Shouzhong.
"Never."
Xia Shouzhong said two words softly, but it seemed to have some kind of magic power, making the wife of Kunning Palace aware of some kind of signal.
Marriage wives may not understand the direction of political trends, but they will look at attitudes.
