Chapter 605

How many fools can be ranked in the imperial court?
Right now, the court forces are divided into three factions.

One is the Tuogu faction headed by Changsun Wuji; the other is the Baodi faction headed by Xu Jingzong; and the other is the spectator faction headed by Li Ji.It is worth mentioning that most of Li Ji's faction are members of the royal family, such as Li Daozong and others.

It looks like there are several factions, but most of the royal family members have no real power because they want to avoid suspicion, so they look good, but their strength is not much.The only person who can speak for them is Li Ji, an outsider.

In this way, the influence of the eldest grandson and the Tuogu faction became huge.And looking at Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, they are really lonely and weak.Even if the words are heartbreaking, there are very few people who come out to agree.Under the cold eyes and disdainful ridicule of a group of courtiers, he looked a little pitiful.

But Xu Jingzong is not a vegetarian either.He also has a big killer in his hand: the newspaper office and students!
Although he is no longer the editor-in-chief, the old subordinates have to take care of their sympathy, and this newspaper was established by the empress, so if it really wants to be mobilized, it will be a big help.

In addition, Xu Jingzong is still the Imperial College Jijiu, and he has some influence among the students. In addition, this person is really knowledgeable, so this can be regarded as a small help.

So seeing that not many people agreed, he was not in a hurry.

After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, if he doesn't even have a bit of self-cultivation, then he doesn't need to be an official.

He smiled unhurriedly, and said: "I heard that when the Empress Empress was still the Crown Princess, because Empress Wende passed away, the late Emperor had no intention of establishing an Empress and handed over the power of the Six Palaces to her old man. The princess violated the etiquette..."

A group of courtiers narrowed their eyes, and their eyes flashed with vigilance.

Suddenly talking about other topics, this is the rhythm of talking about bigger topics.

Everyone is old and mature, and they are very clear about the rhythm of the court's power struggle.

In short: this is all a routine!

For a moment, they put away their sarcasm and listened carefully, for fear of missing something.

"Your Majesty used Zhou Weilie Wang Jiwu's first conferment to clarify a truth..."

Xu Jingzong stopped, looked around, and when he saw Changsun Wuji, he suddenly shouted: "What is etiquette?! Gangji! What is division?! Jun, minister! What is name? Gong, Hou, Qing, Dafu also!"

The suddenly raised voice startled everyone, Changsun Wuji squinted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Wen Wangxu's "Book of Changes", with the universe as the head, the sage said: Heaven is respected and the earth is humble, and the universe is fixed! From low to high, the high and the low have their own positions, and the position of the monarch and the minister is like heaven and earth. The "Spring and Autumn" restrains the princes and respects Zhou The royal family, the official status of the Zhou royal family is not high, but the order in the book is still higher than the princes and kings, why?!"

Xu Jingzong looked at Changsun Wuji again, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a sneer flashed across his face, and he suddenly raised his voice again, saying, "Gang Jiye!"

"hiss!"

Everyone took a deep breath, and the look of contempt just now was suppressed, and they all remembered the experience of the person in front of them.

Because the deeds of betraying their fathers to survive are really bad, and this person is frivolous, and often can't even remember their names, which is really annoying.So I gradually forgot about this person's excellent talents and learning.

When he yelled at him like this, he suddenly remembered that this person was one of the eighteen scholars in the Qin Palace. Later, the late emperor became the emperor. Once he saw him studying history, and had a wonderful conversation. Afterwards, the late emperor praised him. His talents.

Such a person, if he doesn't have two brushes, how can he climb to the position of high-ranking officials and stand in court with them just by relying on Meishang?
This time, the memory was completely opened.

This person has been the editor-in-chief of the Royal Daily for many years, and he has also compiled history under the order of the late emperor. If you really want to argue with him, you will definitely not be able to please!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the minds of the courtiers, and they all looked at Changsun Wuji in unison.

Changsun Wuji sneered, and said lightly: "As expected of someone who has been a minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Shilang really understands the etiquette law thoroughly."

"I don't dare to take the word "thorough". It's all because of the empress's revelation to the concubine Chao that inspired the old man, so I thought about the matter of name and discipline all night long. The Taiwei's words are absolutely unacceptable to Jingzong!"

Xu Jingzong responded unhurriedly, with a humble expression on his face.

After he answered this, he lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty ruled the world for three years, opened up his way of speaking, accepted advice with empty words, and acted in everything according to the "Di Fan" written by the late emperor. The legacy of Zhenguan, adhering to the will of the first emperor, is a model for a generation of Ming Lord! It is a blessing in life for ministers to assist His Majesty! The marriage of Princess Jinyang is a family matter of His Majesty. That's fine, no one else needs to say much! I am happy to see the late emperor's beloved daughter married to an outstanding son of the Cheng family. This is a happy event. I first congratulate Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

One sentence not only expresses one's position, but also puts a certain big hat on it.

Who dares to object to talking about the status of a monarch and minister?
Wouldn't there be a suspicion of presumptuousness if you object again?

In a word: What are you beeping about about the emperor's housework?The emperor is not the young master, he is 34 this year, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life.Is he out of his mind?Want you to beep?Don't forget that you are courtiers, above your father, are you planning to rebel? !

Li Chengqian's complexion improved slightly, and he was about to speak to praise Xu Jingzong, but he heard Changsun Wuji say: "The Duke of Luxiang will be allied with the princes, Yang Gan, the younger brother of Jin Daogong, offsides the chariot, and Wei Jiang wants to kill his chariot." ..."

Changsun Wuji's voice was flat and indifferent, as if he didn't take Xu Jingzong's words to heart at all, he said every word in a calm manner, but there was a deep meaning hidden in it. Immediately know the source of the allusion, how can you not understand what Changsun Wuji said?

Not a single word of rebuttal, not a single word of loyalty, but with a lot of force, he gently flicked back the big hat that Xu Jingzong wanted to take off.

For a moment, the entire court was silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Xu Jingzong, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth and sneered in his heart!

Hello grandson Wuji!
As expected of the first emperor's important minister, Lingyan Pavilion No.1!
Not only did he lightly expose the fact that he restrained the emperor, but he also showed that the reason why he did this was for the sake of the emperor!

funny!

I don't know how many people in this world are playing the banner of "I'm for your own good" to hurt others. As the emperor's uncle, do you treat your nephew like this? !
Rao Xu Jingzong didn't have any morals, and he flattered his horse just to beg for an official.But thinking about the talent and ability of the emperor, and looking at the current situation, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved for the emperor.

How can there be such an uncle?Relying on his own merits, why do he still regard the emperor as the little prince back then? !
He has grown up, is the lord of a country, has his own ideas, but is marrying a princess, what's the fuss about it?
These self-confessed loyal ministers are the most annoying!He always puts on an upright face, stands on the commanding heights of morality, and always looks like I'm doing my best for you, which makes him angry!
Immediately, his eyes rolled, and he immediately interrupted Changsun Wuji and said: "The Taiwei is well said! If you are a king, you will not take refuge, and if you are guilty, you will not escape the sentence! That's true of Wei Jiang!"

He deliberately bit the "guilty and not escaping punishment" very hard, and it immediately changed the taste in the ears of others.

Because later Wei Jiang wrote a letter to Jin Yugong to clarify his position, but because he offended the majesty of the monarch, he wanted to plead guilty.

Xu Jingzong bit the second half of the sentence so hard, how could the people present still not understand what he meant?
Still make a fuss about etiquette and name!
Changsun Wuji's calm expression finally changed. Seeing that Xu Jingzong was about to speak, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Princess Jinyang's marriage is a big deal, but last year she was detained for the imperial examination because she went to sea to find America. Afterwards, the students who passed the provincial examination are still in the capital, Your Majesty, there is no room for failure in the grand ceremony of talents, and please Your Majesty put the state affairs first, and start the palace examination immediately, so as not to let the examinees feel cold."

Xu Jingzong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!

Nina!

He actually talked about other things, and even talked about the imperial examination. What is the priority of state affairs and family affairs?Naturally it is a state matter!

The imperial examination, the national talent ceremony, even the queen has to stand aside, let alone a princess!

Xu Jingzong was so disgusted that he couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the emperor on the dragon chair.

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, the beads on the Tongtian Crown covered most of his expression, making it difficult to see clearly.But Zhang Duo, who was on the side, saw that the emperor smiled, and the smile was a little cold.

"The Taiwei is old enough to seek the country's words. The princess's marriage will be discussed later, and let's talk about the imperial examination."

A sneer flashed across Li Chengqian's face, and then returned to normal.

"I heard that there is a student named Di Renjie among the Jinshi in this department. He won the third class in the provincial examination. He won the first place and won a small three yuan. This provincial examination is also the first. It would be a pity if such a talent is delayed. Dear dear friends, Let’s start with the palace test.”

"Your servants take orders! Long live my emperor!"

Li Chengqian maintained a suitable smile on his face, raised his hand and said: "My dear friends, stand up. I can sit firmly in this world, thanks to the dedicated assistance of all my ministers and workers. It is my good fortune to have virtuous ministers and direct ministers to help each other..."

Although he spoke lightly, his heart twitched in the ears of the courtiers.

The emperor's words showed dissatisfaction.After all, it's not the young master, they dare not really ignore the emperor.

This lord was very capable when he was the prince!

Wei Zheng, who was silent for a while, suddenly got up tremblingly, and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Li Chengqian, "Teacher doesn't need to be polite, just sit and talk."

But Wei Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard, gritted his teeth, bent over staggeringly, knelt down with difficulty, and said, "What's a name?! Gang Ji also! Your Majesty, sympathize with the old minister, but the old minister must not lose his duty as a courtier. Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have opened up your mind and accepted advice with an open mind. You have the style of a former emperor! Although I am sick and cannot come to the court often, I can see that your Majesty has the style of a wise monarch in ancient times. The old minister is very happy. But the old minister is sick Shen Ke, who has the heart but is unable to assist His Majesty any longer, and if he refuses to leave the high position, he will be suspected of being in love with power and position. Therefore, the old minister resigns, and I beg Your Majesty to allow the old minister to beg for the bones and return to his hometown for the elderly..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand tremblingly, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Chen, I haven't been back to my hometown for decades. Now that the oil is running out and the lamp is dying, I know that time is not long, and I just want to go back to my hometown." Hometown, let’s take a look at the old scenery of my hometown, and listen to the local accent, minister, Your Majesty Fuqin grants you the favor!”
