high official

Chapter 1051

As soon as the decree was sealed, the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites began intensive preparations.Generally speaking, it takes at least half a year to prepare for the post-sealing ceremony, but because it is for the emperor's joy and the lack of national use, everything can only be kept simple.What the officials were worried about was that if the preparations were too lengthy and the emperor died early, it would be a crime...

"Qin Tianjian has checked the date. March [-]th is an auspicious day." Jin Youzi brought back the latest news for the two great scholars.

"There are still six days..." Yang Rong frowned, looked at Yang Shiqi and said, "Is there any news from Wang Xian?"

Yang Shiqi shook his head worriedly.

"You can't pin all your hopes on him," Jin Youzi never thought that Wang Xian had such a great ability. "He was strictly guarded by the people in Dongchang. I'm afraid I haven't received any letter yet!"

Yang Shiqi sighed, and was about to speak when Zhongshu Sheren delivered the official documents, and the three of them stopped talking.

Zhongshusheren put a stack of memorials in front of Yang Shiqi, picked up the ones he had read, and bowed to leave.

When the Zhongshu Sheren left, Yang Shiqi picked up the top memorial and said to Jin Youzi, "Wait a little longer, I believe he won't make a mistake..." After speaking, he read the memorial. But official duties still cannot be delayed.

"Hey..." Seeing that Yang Shiqi had nothing to say, Jin Youzi became discouraged for a while, sat down and picked up the teacup, regardless of the fact that the tea was completely cold, he poured it down in one gulp.

At this time, Yang Shiqi let out a "huh", picked up a piece of paper from the memorial, and was stunned there, his face gradually paled.

"What's wrong?" Jin Youzi put down the teacup and looked at Yang Shiqi.Yang Rong also looked at Yang Shiqi, and for some reason, the face of this prime minister, who had never changed color before the collapse of Mount Tai, became so ugly.

"Wang Xian answered." Yang Shiqi handed the piece of paper to Yang Rong who was at the side. Yang Rong looked at it with a serious face, and then handed it to Jin Youzi.

Jin Youzi took a closer look and saw that there were only two lines of simple small characters on it. The first line was the names of the two dishes 'sea crab' and 'jujube'.
A drug name 'Ephedra Asarum Fuzi Decoction', a total of these eleven characters.

Jin Youzi looked at these eleven characters repeatedly, but couldn't understand them, so he raised his head and asked, "What does this mean? Could it be an anagram?"

"No..." Yang Rong is proficient in health preservation and has dabbled in medicine. He said softly: "Sea crabs and jujubes can cause cold and fever. And 'Ephedra Asarum Aconite Decoction' comes from the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" written by a medical sage. Typhoid fever and shaoyin disease." After a pause, a chill came over Yang Rong's heart and said: "The symptoms of these two diseases are almost exactly the same, and the doctor will put on a hat if he is not aware of it. Once the wrong medicine is used, the patient will be in danger. ..."

"Wang Xian is telling us how to solve the big trouble of Wang Guifei..." After hearing Yang Rong's words, Yang Shiqi became more and more sure of his judgment: "These eleven words should be able to ask Wang Guifei Life."

Jin Youzi was startled, and then subconsciously said: "Why didn't he do it himself?" After speaking, seeing Er Yang looking at him with strange eyes, he swallowed and said, "We really want to do this?"

"Is there any other way?" Yang Shiqi asked solemnly.

"Wang Xian is trying to drag us into the water..." Yang Rong sighed quietly, "I will inevitably get blood on my hands..."

Both Yang are determined, resourceful and decisive people, if they want to understand the key points, they know that this matter is inevitable.They originally had illusions, hoping that Wang Xian could take over the dirty work.But now it seems that this is just an unrealistic fantasy. The other party is only willing to point out a way and tell them what to do, but they will never intervene.Only my own affairs are handled by myself.

"Is this really the case?" Jin Youzi repeated, this matter was too contrary to his ideals, making it difficult for him to accept. "Wang Xianming is just a little effort, why do we have to do it?"

"He wants us to submit a certificate of honor." Yang Shiqi said with a sullen expression: "If you kill Wang Guifei, we can only **** and cooperate with him. If we want to deal with him, we must be careful that we will lose our reputation first. gone."

"Since that's the case, we can't do it!" Jin Youzi gritted his teeth: "Once we do this, what's the difference between us and him? Are we really going to keep colluding?"

"But if we don't do it, we will be out of the game..." Yang Rong stood up, walked to the door, looked at the slightly cramped small courtyard of the cabinet and said: "Masters, for our ideals, I think we can do... "

"Our ideal..." Jin Youzi was momentarily infatuated.

The ideals of the three are the ideals of all the great scholars in the cabinet and the common ideals of all civil servants.

Anyone familiar with history knows that since ancient times, China has been dominated by the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats.But the meaning of the scholar-bureaucrat has changed with the changes of history. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, it was a class of scholars attached to the princes of the emperor, and in the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was a class of hereditary noble landlords.After the imperial examinations were opened in the Sui Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats gradually became the patents of common landlords who stood out through the imperial examinations.

In the Song Dynasty, the state power was even more controlled by these gentry officials, and the emperor hardly handled the state affairs directly, but handed it over to the leader of the literati—the prime minister.This gave great glory, high status, and countless wealth to the scholar-bureaucrats of the common clan... Of course, the scholar-bureaucrats who have read poetry and books and regarded themselves as the children of saints would not think so. It is filled with a strong sense of responsibility to take the world as its own responsibility and actively participate in politics!
However, in this dynasty, the Zhu family emperor, who had a strong desire for power, never agreed to call himself a "human stamp".This naturally caused a strong reaction from the literati, but for Zhu Yuanzhang, the iron-blooded emperor, the solution was very simple, nothing more than - kill!kill!kill!

The Hu Weiyong case and the Kongyin case almost killed all the officials in the world. At that time, due to the shortage of officials, even the prisoners in the hall were tried wearing the shackles, and the officials in the hall wore the shackles to ask the case.But no matter how tyrannical Zhu Yuanzhang was, he couldn't handle the government affairs of the country alone. In his later years, he could only set up a cabinet and choose some ministers of literature with low official positions as secretaries to support him in handling state affairs.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di had to hand over state affairs to the cabinet because he had been fighting abroad all year round and did not trust the prince.

Restoring the status and glory of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty is the dream of all civil servants.Regaining the position of prime minister is the desire of all previous academicians, but this road is destined to be extremely difficult. First, Zhu Di's desire for power is no less than Zhu Yuanzhang's, and second, Zhu Di trusts the noble generals who won the world with him more Thirdly, it was suppressed by the ancestral precept that "children of later generations are not allowed to be prime ministers". Fourthly, the rank of non-commissioned officers in the Cabinet University is low, and it is difficult to command the civil servants.

Er Yang is very clear about the severe situation. They have long understood that it is impossible to do anything in Zhu Dichao, and they can only hope that after the new king ascends the throne, there will be a different situation.And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been close to civil servants, so Er Yang thought he was the best choice for the new king.In fact, the two of them had secretly communicated with the prince for a song, secretly helped the prince a lot, and expressed their loyalty to each other long ago.It's just that their methods are superb, and no one has noticed...

But this is far from enough. If they want to turn the Grand Scholars into actual prime ministers, they must make indelible contributions on the road to the crown prince's ascension to the throne, so that they will have the capital to get the desired position in the future--right now The prince and grandson were dispatched outside. Once King Zhao had a queen as his assistant, the prince and grandson would face unpredictable endings.If this situation can be avoided, it will be an unworldly achievement, so what if you use any means?
.

Originally, what the scholars thought was to take advantage of Wang Xian's loyalty to the crown prince and use his hands to complete this matter, so that the goal could be achieved without tainting cause and effect.But obviously Wang Xian saw through their intentions and didn't take the bait at all. He just told them what to do and let them do it themselves!
If that's the case, then you can only do it yourself...

The three great scholars quickly reached an agreement, Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "To accomplish this, we have to take two steps, first tamper with her meal, and then let the imperial physician prescribe the prescription after she gets sick." He looked at Yang Rong and Jin Youzi and said, "Leave the Imperial Hospital to the old man, as for the Jiaoyuan and Imperial Dining Room, please leave it to the two of you..."

Jiaoyuan is a garden behind the emperor's palace. It was originally named Wulei Palace.

"Over there in the pepper garden..." Yang Rong looked at Jin Youzi and said first, "I have a fellow from my hometown who I can trust..."

"Leave the imperial dining room to me..." Jin Youzi gritted his teeth.

The cabinet is the emperor's secretarial organization, and it has always been set up in the palace. The three of them are all bachelors for many years, and they all manage it deliberately. They have deep connections in the palace, but they are not comparable to ordinary foreign ministers...

"Okay!" Seeing that the two of them accepted the task happily, Yang Shiqi nodded heavily and said, "We'll split up and act now. Remember, we must keep it secret, and don't leave anything behind..."

Although Wang Xian's method can be said to kill people invisible, even if Wang Guifei died in the end, there is almost no way to verify it.But in this kind of thing, it's better to be careful in everything, one mistake will be ruined, and everyone will be killed!

"Unexpectedly," Jin Youzi said hesitantly, "We actually have to do this kind of thing that harms morality..."

"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Yang Rong is a Buddhist, but at this moment he looks like a diamond glaring and said: "We are for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, for the country, how can we harm the morality?"

"That's right..." After listening to Yang Rong's words, Jin Youzi felt much more comfortable, nodded and said, "Then let's do it!"
