Five hundred and fortieth chapters small people big stage
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the imperial meeting, thousands of officials in Beijing entered the Meridian Gate and crossed the Jinshui Bridge to attend the imperial court, while Mr. Li was left alone to go shopping according to his duties, no, to patrol the city.
At this time, the news of Concubine Jin Xian's happiness in Yikun Palace had spread. During the imperial dynasty, it is inevitable for hundreds of officials to congratulate His Majesty on his marriage. Of course, it does not need to be as grand and formal as the Queen's happiness.
Although the queen is not pregnant this time, and even if Concubine Jin Xian gives birth to a boy, she cannot be crowned prince, it is still worthy of celebration. In any case, it is a good sign that the emperor has his first child. After all, there has been no birth in Ouchi for more than ten years.
Newborn.
The first thing to celebrate is that this proves that the dragon's body is healthy, the emperor's reproductive function is fine, and he can shoulder the important task of carrying on the family line. This is the current priority.
The second thing to celebrate is that if Concubine Jin Xian gives birth to an eldest son, she will be a natural substitute. One more insurance is enough to reassure all the officials. If there is no heir in the palace (this is definitely an event with a high probability in the Ming Dynasty), a substitute can be sent
Put it to use, so that the country will not be empty and the country will not be in chaos.
There is another incident. If the birth of the emperor's eldest son is truly symbolic, then the level of Concubine Jin Xian should be adjusted. Being promoted to a noble concubine is not a big problem. As for whether she can be promoted to an imperial concubine, it depends on the favor of the emperor.
degree.
It is said that as we enter the end of the year, the last month of the year is supposed to be a time when people are distracted and focused on the New Year. Officials of the Ming Dynasty can theoretically only take a long holiday during the New Year, so this is inevitable.
But the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense again, and powerful facts proved how dedicated the court officials were, and there were many things that could not be stopped during the New Year!
The situation of encircling and suppressing Mr. Peng Ge once again reached a high-pressure situation. In two days, the articles of impeachment against Mr. Peng Ge were piled up one foot thick in front of the emperor. The main charge was "instructing merchants to conspire to frame the minister. His behavior is despicable. How can he live in this place?"
Center!"
Mr. Peng Ge really had a hard time defending this matter. The Lu family confessed under pressure, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Shuntian Prefecture also formed a complete chain of characters. This was the handle. Even if he did not admit it, he was attacked as sophistry.
In other words, the general trend is the general trend. It no longer matters whether he admits his fault or not. As the saying goes, one mistake will lead to eternal hatred, and it will be a hundred years later when he looks back.
Among the five bachelors excluding Mr. Peng Ge himself, three strongly recommended Mr. Peng Ge to become an official, and one was neutral. It can be said that in the cabinet, the attitude towards driving Mr. Peng Ge out continued to be overwhelming.
Li You saw it and commented on this that those ministers from the Dragon were planning to rise to power through indirect means.
He had tricked Bai Shilang into something a few days ago, and I'm afraid that the Conglong faction would not have the face to actively campaign for Bai Shilang to join the cabinet for the time being.
However, if Peng Ge Lao can be ousted and a position in the cabinet is vacated, and the emperor has to consider a replacement, he will probably be able to reluctantly appoint Bai Shilang to Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion. Otherwise, there will be no reliable candidates.
.The process is different, but the goal is still the same, so Mr. Li calls it an indirect means.
At this time, anyone who understands can see that it is really difficult for Mr. Peng Ge to recover after the wall is down and everyone is pushing him. He does not even have an ally who can respond.
It is probably only a matter of time before he becomes an official. The only difference is whether Mr. Peng Ge is allowed to leave after the New Year with dignity as a bachelor. Another big problem is the power vacuum left after Mr. Peng Ge leaves.
How to divide it.
At such a lively moment two years ago, Mr. Li was naturally unwilling to be left alone. His memorial soon followed, and his words were as fierce as ever.
"Chongwenmen Customs has not collected enough taxes for several years. Only this year since Lu Yuanguang took office, he has made innovations to eliminate the drawbacks and overpaid the taxes. This is a capable minister who can do his job. He has not received any awards, but he has been criticized by people who talk empty talk in the court.
I can't understand why I dare to impeach a pragmatic person because of my lack of impeachment. If Your Majesty doesn't distinguish right from wrong, it will chill the hearts of the knowledgeable people in the world, and make those who are capable of doing something afraid, and they will think that they are not taking advantage of it!"
The audience was speechless. When everyone was watching Peng Ge Lao together, why didn’t Mr. Li take the usual path and open fire on Bai Shilang again? Li You’s memorial is probably a continuation of the last dispute with Bai Shilang. He did not name anyone in the memorial.
The "people who talk empty talk in the court" are obviously Bai Shilang.
Last time, the court officials thought that Shilang Bai impeached Lu Yuanguang, the ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Department, in order to avenge his personal vendetta and avenge the ambiguous scandal between Li You and Yu Linglong.
It is estimated that the emperor really couldn't bear to see this, so he left Bai Shilang's bullet in the air, intending to cover it up and let it go. Unexpectedly, Li You still refused to give up, and insisted on asking for a favor for Ambassador Lu.
It is fair to point out this matter again and expose the scars of the minister.
However, the little ninth-rank Ambassador Lu is about to become famous. With famous ministers like Li You who attract everyone's attention, it is difficult for him to become famous. It seems that the characteristic of Mr. Li's memorial is that he is very aggressive and very aggressive.
When it is rare to recommend others and praise others, how could this Lu Yuanguang be so virtuous...
When Ambassador Lu heard that Li Qianxian had come to court again, he immediately rushed to the General Prosecutor's Office to meet him. He asked in fear: "How can I be so virtuous and capable as a low-ranking official..."
Li You asked Ambassador Lu to sit down and said meaningfully: "I have paved the way for you, now it's up to you. I have a few suggestions, you can listen to them."
Ambassador Lu, like Li You, firmly believes that pie in the sky will not fall into the sky. He knows that Li Qianxian will not pave the way for him in vain, nor will he trust him completely casually. He can also guess based on intuition, what is next
It's the key. I'm afraid it's equivalent to a certificate of nomination. If you lose the chain, I'm afraid you will lose trust immediately.
The next day, another memorial attracted the attention of the courtiers.
"When Your Majesty first takes charge of the government, it is important to stabilize the hearts of the people, so as to avoid turmoil in the court and instability in the country. This is the best way to maintain peace. I have never heard of an enlightened monarch who disrupted the government first!
Recently, there is always a small group of people causing trouble, making noise, trying to frame the elders and important ministers, and eager to replace them! This is the first of its kind, and the ministers are in danger. Seeing that the pursuit of fame and fortune is getting worse, the court is disturbed, and the virtuous are restless, and they don’t know who they are.
Where do you want to put Your Majesty?
I believe that there must be people on the right and left of the king who are ready to move in, hoping to advance in vain and take advantage of the situation to force the palace, so your majesty must be on guard!"
Amid the noise of denouncing Mr. Peng Ge, and when the defense of Mr. Peng Ge's disciples was weak, this memorial that went against the trend not only expressed his grievances for Mr. Peng Ge with fierce words, but also directly denounced the former minister of the Eastern Palace of the Emperor who was in power.
It is particularly eye-catching, quite eye-catching, extremely eye-catching.
After everyone reads it, one sentence will pop up in their mind: There are really only three words left to say "Qing Jun Side".
Bai Shilang threw the manuscript of the memorial to the ground and said angrily: "Li You, this treacherous man, really considers thieves as his father! It's not enough for Lu to celebrate his father's death! It's not enough for Lu to celebrate his father's death!"
Academician Ye, who personally delivered the manuscript, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Bai has lost his composure! This memorial was not written by Li You!"
Bai Shilang picked it up again. It turned out that it was just a copy, and the manuscript paper was quite messy. He quickly glanced at it a few times. With the suspicion of his neighbors, he subconsciously thought it was written by Li You. Because of the tone of this memorial, he picked it up again.
Ci Feng looks so much like Li You, he is simply a copy of Li You.
At this time, he took a closer look and found that the signature was "Ambassador Lu Yuanguang of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch"...
Many people have noticed this name. Ambassador Lu has just been known to people because of Li You's strong recommendation. At this time, his memorial is a bit like striking while the iron is hot. The content goes against the general trend and is almost unique at the moment.
, it’s hard not to attract attention.
The courtiers all sighed, as expected of the person recommended by Li You, he is really bold and dares to speak out! At present, there are shouts of beating and killing against Mr. Peng Ge in the court, and even those who sympathize with Mr. Peng Ge have been forced to shut up due to the situation.
, so as not to lose points by standing on the wrong team. And he, a small ninth-level guy, dared to stand up and complain about Peng Ge Lao.
Besides, no one in the court knew that the feud between Li You and Mr. Peng Ge was almost incompatible. The thing was that Mr. Peng Ge instigated the Lu family to frame Li You. To speak for Mr. Peng Ge was to blatantly deny Li You's correctness.
Think Li You is guilty.
And after receiving Li You's favor, Ambassador Lu actually dared to stand up and defend Li Qianxian's enemy Peng Gelao. This courage was truly remarkable. Most people did not have this courage.
Could it be that he is a fair and upright person? But not everyone who speaks out can get as good a deal as Li You. Li You can only be a recognized exception, so Ambassador Lu's future is worrying.
Mr. Li was sitting on the tower watching the mountain scenery, hearing the chaos in the court, and felt a little proud in his leisurely life. Now that he has been doing it, he finally doesn't have to take the lead this time, and goes to fight in the court in public, so Ambassador Lu
Go into battle!
Even if things go wrong, he has nothing to lose. At worst, he can help Ambassador Lu find a place to settle. I think this is how Xu Tianguan viewed himself at the beginning.
Ambassador Lu's memorial was naturally placed on the imperial court. After the young emperor read it, he actually didn't have much impression. Anyway, he was scolding someone else, not him directly.
But the eunuch Duan Zhien, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, Bingbi, said: "This person has the intention of secretly slandering Your Majesty like a doll with no opinion. We must not ignore it. If a ninth-rank person dares to do this, there must be someone behind the scenes. Your Majesty can interrogate him under the supervision of a supervisor!"
The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is another day for the Great Court. All officials in Beijing must attend the Great Court, and Ambassador Lu is no exception even if he is a ninth-rank official. He just stands at the end of a large procession of thousands of people.
Since Ambassador Lu has been in court, he has gone to court a lot. The excitement when he went to court for the first time has long been gone. Every time he goes to court, it is just a formality. The first few rows are the pillars of the court. He is just the background, and he is still in the background.
That figure is almost invisible, and it is never his turn to speak in the government.
Today, he hid in the last row as usual, found an angle that was not easily noticed by Yushi Jiuyi, and prepared to close his eyes and rest his mind.
Not long after he closed his eyes, he suddenly seemed to hear his own name in his ears, but it was vague and unreal. He quickly opened his eyes and saw the sergeants on duty along the royal road shouting one after another.
The call went all the way to his row at the front.
The voice became clearer and clearer, and it was clearly: "Ambassador Lu Yuanguang of the Propaganda Department of Xuan Chongwenmen comes forward to meet your Majesty!"
Ambassador Lu was shaken in his heart. If the emperor hadn't summoned him personally, who would have dared to ask him to go up to see him without authorization. The stage above Lord Dan was probably the biggest stage in the world, and he had never been qualified to step on it...
Could it be that my memorials actually caught the emperor's attention? The emperor reads hundreds of memorials a day, so why did he notice his nine-grade sesame? (To be continued) rq!~!
