Chapter 381 Empress Song's Worries
Hall of Xihe
Lu Li looked at the young man opposite him coldly, feeling a chill in his heart.
He is a Qingliu in the Imperial Academy, so it is impossible for him to cover up his faults for the chief minister of the cabinet, so he cannot refute one by one when the young man asks the chief minister of the cabinet five times.
Otherwise, he would really be the answering voice of the chief minister of the cabinet.
But as for others, there will always be some paleness.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't answer, Jia Heng said: "Scholar Lu is my Hanlin, an elite of culture, full of talent, and Jia was quite admired before, but now Yang Ge's old auxiliary emperor has made a mistake, and Bachelor Lu is Qingliu. The officials should not rectify it, but take advantage of the opportunity of presenting a congratulatory form to flatter them, agree with them, and make noise... such behavior, Jia really dare not flatter him."
Yang Guochang has been set on fire, and now he will give Lu Li a hard time.
When Lu Li heard this, an evil fire shot up his forehead, and he said angrily: "How do you know that Lu has not been impeached?"
When did he fail to impeach the chief assistant and cabinet ministers before?
Jia Heng said coldly: "Then what's the reason? Why did Xueshi Lu want to look after Yang Ge?"
He just wanted to nail Lu Li, label him Yang Dang, and get rid of his aura of cleanliness.
Zhang Mu...
Lu Li's temples twitched, and he said coldly, "Jia Yunhui, Lu has righteous indignation in his heart, and he will cry out if there is any injustice!"
Jia Heng said: "Then Yang Ge is old now, and he has a great burden, so why does Mr. Lu turn a blind eye and know but not speak?!"
The character set you set up, if it is uneven, it will be loud, but you are loud?
"You..." Lu Li heard the words, his complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu will go to impeachment after the incident, but the two things go hand in hand. Lu still thinks that military parades are full of bells and whistles, waste the people and waste money, and are useless against the enemy. !"
Jia Heng looked at this scene and stopped looking at Lu Li.
The outcome has been decided, because Lu Li has nothing to do, and he will impeach the first assistant later, but he will not forget to attack the military parade again. To put it bluntly, it is to maintain the character design.
I have nothing to do with Yang Guochang. I am a righteous man who brings his own dry food and speaks out against injustice.
As soon as Lu Li's urgent words came out, some courtiers in the palace looked strange and thought to themselves, is Jia Heng forcing the Hanlin servant Lu Li to "jump back" and impeach the chief assistant?
In fact, it can’t be said to be a reversal. Originally, the Imperial Academy didn’t listen to the cabinet’s greetings all the time. Before, it was just because everyone gathered together temporarily for a common enemy.
Now that he is about to get burned, it is natural to be wise and protect himself.
Only Yang Guochang heard the words, his eyes went dark, and he was almost out of breath again.
Cursed, capricious, shameless!
As the debate between Jia Heng and Lu Li settled down, no one came out to speak, and the hall of Xihe was even more silent, and needles could be heard.
The reason is not only that Jia Heng's words are sharp, but also that Jia Heng has been an official for a short time, so he doesn't have too many black spots for criticism.
Not long ago, he made great achievements. It is because of the halo and the momentum that he is like a rainbow, which makes him invincible.
On Jia Heng's side, his eyes swept to Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital who had criticized him just now, and Pang Shilang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. His eyes first fell on Liu Yuzhong's face.
Hmm, I forgot to refute this just now.
However, being stared at by Jia Heng's cold eyes, Liu Yuzhong of the Guozijian's Jijiu was shocked and hurriedly looked away.
Look at each other, don't dare to look at them!
Without him, compared to the troll-type Qingliu like Zuo Fudu Yushi, and the scholar-type Qingliu like Liu Yuzhong, he cherishes feathers more than anyone else. ",The consequences could be disastrous.
For a moment, the Hall of Xihe 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 and First Assistant", and some are deliberating on those two lines of poems, and they only feel that the more they taste, the more they are written. Words are not easy.
Some officials even use it as their motto.
gou...
And after this incident, or the impetus of "people with a heart", with the help of "Ping Lu Ce" and the poems read by Jia Heng, the world is bound to spread the news of this court congratulations dispute, and Jia Heng will be the first assistant to the cabinet. Yang Guochang's questioning was also spread throughout the provinces and counties of the Han Dynasty, in order to shake the authority of the chief minister of the cabinet.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was sitting upright on the golden chair, his face was cold and hard, his eyes wandered over the ministers below, as a person who had a full view of the dispute just now, his mood was very comparable.
Today, hearing the language of the scholars of the king and the state is like listening to fairy music.
Unparalleled national scholar, the appearance of a famous minister, the hero of a general, and the talent of music!
Not only Emperor Chongping, but Li Zan, a scholar in the cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of War, also looked at the young man in amazement at this moment. He looked like a famous minister, and it would be even better if he was born as a civil servant.
Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, glanced at the young man and frowned.
He and Jia Ziyu are old acquaintances.
Emperor Chongping looked aggressively at the young man who was still bowing down to ask questions, his heart was still a little hot, and there was a little uncontrollable excitement in his trembling voice.
"Jia Qing is at peace."
Emperor Chongping called out and was about to put an end to the debate. Seeing Jia Heng bowing still, he felt a certain firm will of the young man. He sighed and said, "Jia Qing's impeachment proposal is not urgent. It can be decided, let’s talk about it later in the year, now the ministers still need to celebrate the New Year’s Eve, wait for the ceremony tomorrow, and then hold the military parade, Jia Qing still needs to make more preparations.”
As soon as this remark came out, the officials who originally opposed the military parade looked ugly, but they didn't dare to stand up and object again.
At this point, the general trend is set!
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "My sage, my sage."
He knows better than anyone else that it is impossible for him to dismiss a chief assistant, but he fired the first shot of "downing Yang".
The rest will be handed over to civil servants like Han Huang, who will be launched after the festival.
And from the emperor's handling, he could also detect the subtle change in the emperor's attitude towards Yang Guochang.
After all, Yang Guochang's famous hall today offends Longyan a bit.
If it could be done before, it would be fine, maybe the emperor's resentment could be dispelled, but now he is being questioned in public, and his face is disgraced, 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 was thinking, and glanced at Han Huang standing in front of the train from the corner of his eye.
Because his back was facing him, he couldn't see any change in his expression.
It was a coincidence that Han Huang, who had just been silent and watched the fire from the other side, suddenly held an ivory jade wat, and went out to play: "My lord, please show me how to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
It can be regarded as temporarily turning over the topic just now.
Emperor Chongping said: "Worshiping ancestors and heaven are national ceremonies, which are prepared by Taichang Temple in conjunction with the Ministry of Rites."
Below, Pang Shilang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was bowing himself to wait, heard this, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.
Since He Juncheng, a cabinet scholar and Minister of Rites, has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Pang Shilang has actually taken charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. According to the usual practice in the past, the Ministry of Rites should be in charge of the worship of heaven in the eastern suburbs of the first month. Taichang Temple is coordinated, and now it is handed over to the etiquette of the Ancestral Temple. In the Taichang Temple, the emperor's signal has been released quite clearly.
Dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, or dissatisfied with the people who are using Chaohe to do things today.
At this moment, Yang Guochang also listened to Emperor Chongping's words, or felt the attitude of Emperor Chongping's calm expression.
Qi Kun supported Yang Guochang's arm, looking at the slightly distraught old man with complicated thoughts.
Han Huang's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself, the emperor didn't say anything to appease Yang Guochang, maybe it was...
After all, today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor obviously didn't want to continue the debate just now, and he didn't clearly support Jia Heng's proposal, which was actually a wise move.
At this time, Emperor Chongping waved his hands and said, "Dai Quan, it's getting late, pass the banquet."
After a fierce debate among the officials in the palace, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the later generations. Before entering the palace, some officials had only had some breakfast, so they spent a lot of talking, most of them were hungry and thirsty.
At this moment, Dai Quan, who was standing on the sidelines, was watching the debate below with trepidation. Hearing this, he trembled a little, and hurriedly said: "Your servant obeys the order."
……
……
Kunning Palace
When the ministers in Xihe Palace were arguing about the matter of military parade, Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong were chatting and laughing in low voice with a group of ordered female relatives, but in fact, more than half of their minds were left outside the palace, worried The movements in the Hall of Xihe.
She is not worried about others, but worried about the emperor.
Those courtiers in front are really, they are so big and well-behaved during the Chinese New Year, they insist on making such a fuss.
At this moment, Qin Keqing looked anxiously outside the hall.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, an eunuch entered the palace and bowed to report.
Empress Song asked urgently: "How do you say?"
The noble lady who was joking and joking unconsciously lowered her voice, quietly listening to the eunuch's narration.
Princess Jinyang raised her head and gently put down the teacup in her hand.
The inner eunuch said: "Several adults in the Xihe Palace had a dispute over the matter of military parade. Jia Yunhui published the "Strategy for Pinglu" and presented it to His Majesty. You want to punish the country's traitors."
"Ping Luce?" Empress Song blinked her beautiful eyes, and a look of surprise was seen on her snowy and jade-skinned face.
When the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty heard the words, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her eyes to think, could it be that the little man, like a famous minister in history, wrote a policy to quell the dispute?
But why is it "Ping Lu Ce" and not "Yang Wu Shu"?
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this was a strategy to put down the Hulu, and it undoubtedly showed the pattern and boldness compared to the military parade.
This Princess Chen Hanchang has extremely high literary attainments and is quite interested in history.
Not to mention far away, Yu Qian in the pre-Ming Dynasty once went to Ping Rong Ce and left his name in history.
Princess Jinyang looked at it with joy, and suddenly there was an urgent desire in her heart, she just wanted to see it for a quick glimpse.
Empress Song narrowed her phoenix eyes, and asked curiously, "Jing punishes the country's traitor? Who is the country's traitor?"
Could it be that the officials of the Xihe Palace are expressing their determination to share the same hatred against the Hulu, but the national thieves...it doesn't make sense.
The eunuch said in a low voice: "Mother, Mr. Yang Ge asked the Holy Master to punish General Yunhui to thank the world!"
wow...
As soon as this remark came out, it was as if a thunder had exploded, and all the officials and female family members in Kunning Palace all changed their expressions slightly, whispered to each other, and their voices gradually became noisy.
"Old Yang Ge, Yang Shoufu, he impeached Jia Yunhui?" a woman whispered.
A young Mrs. Gao Ming said with a low smile, "Mrs. Zhou, I didn't listen. You said you were a traitor from Jingzhu Kingdom?"
At this time, Princess Chu Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows, and said to Princess Qi Xiang Shi with a smile, "Sister-in-law Wang, do you think you wrote some treasonous words in Lao Shizi's "Ping Lu Ce"?"
Princess Qi Xiangshi, dressed in a blue embroidered dress, wearing pearl hairpins, with gentle eyes, said in a soft and soft voice: "I was convicted of my words, and the old man impeached Jia Yunhui. Things are unknown.”
"It seems that this Jia Yunhui has offended the civil servants." Chu Princess Zhen Qing said softly, with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.
Although he was not happy to see the lord marrying a daughter of the Jia family, he was a little annoyed at being rejected by Jia Heng.
Jia's mother also changed her complexion, her old eyes showed fear, and she murmured in a low voice: "Brother Heng...how could he be impeached by Mr. Yang Ge?"
Mrs. Wang listened to the old lady's terrified murmur, and her heart was filled with ecstasy. It is no exaggeration to say that the hands hidden in the sleeves were trembling slightly, so she had to lower her head slightly, her cheeks were actually There was a strange blush.
God is so pitiful, she prayed to God and worshiped Buddha every day, finally someone couldn't understand that man's rampant face!
Isn't Madam Xing like this?
At this time, on the fair face, although he deliberately kept the worried look 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 beaming with joy, as if it was the New Year.
Qin Keqing frowned, her face was as gorgeous as a rosy cloud, her white paper was like sunlight, and she quietly cast her eyes as bright as water to the outside of the hall, as if she wanted to travel through time and space.
No wonder Qin Keqing didn't know how powerful it was, no matter how much Qin Keqing trusted Jia Heng, when he suddenly heard the cabinet ministers threatening to "kill the country's traitor", but the country's traitor was actually her husband, her heart would inevitably get agitated.
Jinyang eldest princess Yurong appeared, but she was puzzled. She didn't think that the emperor would do anything to him, but it was just for the Chinese New Year. What "national thief" was mentioned?
Princess Xianning's charming and cold eyebrows were also filled with concern, and she thought to herself, why did the husband get into a dispute with the chief minister of the cabinet?
Empress Song suppressed the doubts in her heart, and a beautiful voice sounded in the hall: "Xia Shouzhong, go to Xihe Hall to see for yourself, what's going on?"
On New Year's Eve, the front palace is full of disputes over government affairs, and the harem can't sing and dance lightly, just ignore it.
Xia Shouzhong bowed his head in response, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, another inner eunuch came in from outside the hall, and said: "Madam, Elder Yang Ge and some adults in the front hall impeached General Yunhui, and all the officials are saying that General Yunhui is causing trouble in the world and wants to eradicate the traitor."
Speaking of which, when the inner eunuch left the Hall of Xihe, it was the climax of the impeachment of Jia Heng by the officials.
Of course, when it comes to hundreds of officials, in fact, only the censors of the Qi Party and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Qingliu of the Imperial Academy came out to impeach, but it made a huge impact.
But how can the internal supervisor know these things?
Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the order and wife in the palace were astonished and unspeakable, and thought to themselves, is it that the Jia family is going to be in trouble?
Some women's eyes changed when they looked at Jia's mother and other members of Jia's family, somewhat playful and gloating.
And more eyes fell on the woman sitting next to Jiamu, wearing the second-rank imperial uniform.
This woman is the wife of General Yunhui Jia Heng - the Qin family.
"Old sister, is she that Jia Heng's wife? She looks quite attractive." An old woman with gray hair and fine clothes sitting next to Concubine Nan'an asked curiously.
This person is Mrs. Tai of Li Guogong's mansion, that is, Liu Fang's mother - Sun's.
Concubine Nan'an smiled, her eyes were somewhat deep, and she said: "Yes, she is the daughter of Qin Ye, the doctor of the Ministry of Construction and Repairs."
As an old relative of Jia's family, Princess Nan'an still needs to know more about Jia Heng, the new Lord of Ningguo, and his relatives through other people's mouths.
Sun's daughter-in-law, namely Liu Fang's wife, Tang said softly: "Mother, these daughters of small families are always praised for their beauty and beauty, but they don't mean to stay in the back house for a long time."
She just looked at it, so enchanting and gorgeous, what does it mean to marry a wife and a virtuous person?
Presumably, that General Yun Hui was also a young Mu Ai, who was fascinated by female sex.
Concubine Nan'an said: "Marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous man, accepting a concubine and accepting sex, although that is what it means, but the Lord of the Ning Kingdom was originally a member of the Ning family, and this Qin family is still betrothed to him."
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "It's not easy for poor people to get married. There are also cases where marriages are arranged early."
In fact, it wasn't just the Concubine Nan'an who were secretly pointing fingers at Qin Keqing and Jia's mother, but also other imperial concubines, all looking at the beautiful and frowning woman.
Gossip and jealousy are women's nature.
Qin Keqing's stunning beauty fell in the eyes of many younger Gaoming wives, 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 only contacted Jia Heng, and after this year, he would go to Wucheng to watch the government, what would happen to Jia Heng...
At the time when all the female relatives in the Kunning Palace were waiting for Xia Shouzhong's return with different thoughts.
After about a quarter of an hour, Xia Shouzhong went and came back again, approached, bowed and saluted, and called: "Your Majesty."
Empress Song cast a pair of beautiful eyes over her in a hurry, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Xia Shouzhong said: "Mother, Jia Yunhui also came out to impeach Mr. Yang Ge, and asked Mr. Yang Ge five times, asking His Majesty to dismiss him and argue with the officials. Mr. Yang Ge seemed to be questioned... "
As he spoke, he revealed the details.
Compared with the few inner eunuchs who only briefly narrated the story, the eunuch Xia Shouzhong of the Six Palaces was obviously knowledgeable and had a good memory, so he recounted what he had just seen.
The entire Kunning Palace fell into a state of tranquility, or rather doubts and surprises.
With the political wisdom of the commanding women, most people don't quite understand what this confrontation means.
But I just feel like, probably, maybe, this Jia Heng didn't suffer a big loss?
Empress Song twisted her delicate willow eyebrows, and said softly: "What about your majesty? How did your majesty deal with it?"
At this time, this sentence also awakened the ordered female family members in Kunning Palace, yes, after all, it still depends on the emperor's will.
Xia Shouzhong's tone was a bit complicated and inexplicable: "Your Majesty didn't take any action, but just comforted Jia Yunhui with kind words, and asked Jia Yunhui to make good preparations for the military parade, and then ordered the banquet."
"This……"
The female relatives in the palace were ordered to look at each other in blank dismay for a while, full of doubts.
What does this mean, my lord?
Of course, it's not that the imperial family members realized something.
The eldest princess of Jinyang opened her red lips suddenly, and her voice was as cold and pleasant as a flying spring flowing jade: "Has the Holy Majesty ever said anything to Elder Yang Ge?"
As soon as these words came out, Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong all looked at Xia Shouzhong.
"Never."
Xia Shouzhong said two words softly, but it seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made the wife in Kunning Palace aware of some kind of signal.
Destiny wives may not understand political trends, but they will look at attitudes.
Well, woman: What I want is your attitude?
