The dream of a lonely hero
Chapter 122
The front hall of Prince Fu was decorated with lanterns and music, and the guests were all seated. There were more than a dozen banquet tables with rich dishes. The guests were waiting for Prince Fu to speak. Prince Fu walked slowly and exchanged a few simple words. Princess Yunyang and his horse Han Chengye offered tea to Prince Fu and his wife. Prince Fu took the teacup and took a sip, then suddenly spat it at the princess and the horse, angrily saying: "Evil beast Prince Fu! You are clearly trying to scald me to death!" He smashed the teacup to pieces and slapped the princess. Princess Yunyang's face immediately showed a red handprint and she burst into tears. Prince Fu was furious and said: "Evil beast! You dared to kill your father just a few days after getting married. Rather than being murdered by you, I'd rather kill you, this unfilial monster!" He ran to the inner hall and took off the sword to protect the house. He drew it out with a "clang" and rushed towards Princess Yunyang. The guests hurried to dissuade them. Princess Yunyang and her horse Han Chengye ran out under the protection of the guests. Prince Fu was furious and shouted, "Yunyang bastard! I no longer have a daughter like you. If you dare to step into my house again, I will make you lose your head!" Then he overturned the wine table to the ground. Han Yun, the commander in front of the palace, stood aside, puzzled, thinking: Everyone said that Prince Fu was moody, but I didn't expect it to be true; he returned home with his entourage in a bad mood. Prince Fu Zhao Guangmei made a scene at the princess's return banquet, which was a sensation and spread throughout Bianliang City within two days.
Ten days later, Fan Yong had recovered and felt that Hong was both hateful and pitiful. He ordered his servants to give her some money and send her home, and asked his servants to tell her to ask Hong Yun to resign or there would be trouble in the future. As soon as Fan Yong finished cooking, he was invited by Prince Fu Zhao Guangmei to the back hall of the palace to discuss matters. In the back hall of the palace, Prince Fu and Fan Yong sat down as host and guest. Servants had already served tea and fruit.
King Fu turned the six wooden beads and said, "What you said is true. Han Yun, the commander of the Palace Guard, was accused of secretly associating with the imperial guards and cultivating his confidants. The emperor was furious and wanted to behead Han Yun. Prime Minister Zhao Pu advised him, "Your Majesty does not need to manage the imperial guards personally. You need to choose someone to lead them. If Han Chongyun is killed because of slander, who will dare to lead the imperial guards for your majesty in the future?" The emperor then spared him from the crime of beheading, dismissed him from the position of commander of the Palace Guard, and appointed him as the governor of Zhangde Army. Who do you think reported Han Yun?"
Fan Yong said, "It should be the King of Jin's people."
King Fu said, "It doesn't seem like it. How could the King of Jin take Du Yanjin, Fu Yanhan, Wang Xian, Chen Zhan, Wang Bin, these small officials of the ninth rank of the imperial guards seriously? It's probably They were usually oppressed by the palace commander Han Yun, and they falsely accused Han Yun. Why did the emperor investigate him? "
Fan Yong said: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong, I hope Your Highness will not have the idea of interfering with the imperial guards. Who will take on the position of Han Yun's palace commander?"
King Fu said: "The emperor said that the day after tomorrow, the court will convene important officials in Chuigong Hall to discuss the candidates for the palace commander."
Fan Yong said: "I advise Your Highness not to say too much when the time comes."
That night, in the Yin'an Hall of the Prince of Jin's mansion, the Prince of Jin and the palace counselors Jia Su Jia Juping, the palace Sima Chai Yuxi, the right guest Ya Ya Cen Chongxin, the left guest Ya Ya Shang Feng, the recorder Yang Shouyi, the palace guard An Xi, the palace Zhong Hou Lu Ze, the palace Sijie Liu Qi, the palace recorder Song Qi, the advisory military officer Zhang Xun, the assistant Zhao Rong, the writer LiuAo, Cang Cao Canjun Wang Deyan discussed the matter.
Ji Shi Canjun Yang Shouyi said proudly: "I didn't expect that it would be so easy to move to Fu Wang's relative, Palace Marshal Han Yun."
Wang Fu Yu Hou An Xi said: "So what! If Canjun Yang is really capable, he can push the prince's people to the position of Palace Marshal."
Yang Shouyi said: "It's better to push the prince than to push the prince's people." This sentence attracted everyone's attention. Yang Shouyi then said, "The commander of the Palace Front Department must be your Highness. Your Highness once served as the Du Yuhou of the Palace Front Department. In May of the first year of Jianlong, the emperor personally led the expedition to Zezhou and Luzhou, and entrusted your Highness with the task of inspecting the palace. In October, the emperor personally led the expedition to Li Chongjin, and entrusted your Highness with the task of deploying the palace. Your Highness pacified the bandits in Centipede Mountain in Zhangzhou the year before last, and conquered the eleven states of Youyun in one fell swoop last year. This year, you massacred the nest of the Golden Spear Society, Tianlang Mountain. Who can turn a blind eye to these facts? Who dares to say anything? Your Highness doesn't have outstanding commanding ability? Who can compete for the position of the Palace Front Department? Not to mention being the Palace Front Department's Palace Front Commander, even being the Palace Front Inspector is more than enough! "
The words made Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi's blood boil. He thought: Let's not talk about leveling Centipede Mountain and taking over the eleven states of Youyun. Bloodbathed the Golden Spear Society's nest Tianlang Mountain can be said to be a great achievement. But the emperor has not yet entrusted him with authority. Could it be that the emperor wants to appoint himself to lead the Palace Front Department? Thinking about his qualifications and merits, he is worthy of being the Palace Front Department's Palace Commander. But, does the emperor really think so? He scanned the counselors with an inquiring look.
An Xi, the guard of the palace, said: "I think what Yang Canjun said makes sense. The commander of the Palace Front Department must be your Highness! The Prince of Fu can never compare with your Highness. Even the founding heroes Shi Yanzhao and Gao Huaide can hardly compete with your Highness." Many counselors echoed "The commander of the palace must be your Highness!"
The King of Jin looked at Jia Su, the chief of the palace, who had been silent and thinking, and said: "What do you think?"
Jia Su said cautiously: "I think the commander of the Palace Front Department is of great importance and it is not easy to be careless. Now that the commander of the Palace Front Department is vacant, the court officials are paying attention. Your Highness should be cautious to avoid criticism."
The King of Jin thought it made sense and said: "How to be cautious?"
Jia Su said "I recommend your dear relative, the Prince of Wei (Fu Yanqing), to be the chief official of the Palace Front Department. The Prince of Wei is a veteran of the Six Dynasties. With his seniority, talents, status and reputation, as well as his great achievements, all people in the world look up to him and marvel at him. His Majesty has also compared the Prince of Wei to Lü Zhao, who prospered the Zhou Dynasty, and Xiao Cao, who made the Han Dynasty prosperous."
The King of Jin slowly turned the rosary in his hand, thinking: Jia Su's words are indeed advisable. If he takes a back seat, he will not incur too much risk. If he pushes his father-in-law, the Prince of Wei, to the position of the chief official of the Palace Front Department, it will undoubtedly be a strong backing for him. Moreover, the Prince of Wei's seniority, talents, status and reputation far surpass his own, and the Majesty favors him, so it should not be a problem to appoint him to lead the Palace Front Department's imperial guards. He said: "Juping's words are very true! But it is not appropriate for me to recommend him. We must avoid relatives!"
Jia Su said: "It is best for the people in the Western Palace Privy Council who are in charge of military affairs to recommend the King of Wei."
The King of Jin established a relationship with Cen Chongxin and Chen Yuxi on the pretext of treating the son of the Western Palace Privy Council chief, Shen Shunyi.Can Shen Shunyi be counted on? The King of Jin thought about it and looked at the Right Registrar Cen Chongxin.
Cen Chongxin said: "Your Highness! Shen Shunyi has only one son. If he doesn't help Your Highness, Chen Yuxi will run out of medicine and his son's life will be in danger at any time. As long as Your Highness wants his help, how can he refuse!"
The King of Jin pondered for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, blew the ink dry and inserted it into the envelope, and said to Jia Su: "Juping quickly summoned Yan Yun and asked him to deliver the king's handwritten letter to Shen Shunyi in person. The action must be secret!"
Jia Su took the letter and hurried away. He came to Liushuang Courtyard and handed the letter to Yan Yun, and gave him detailed instructions. Yan Yun put on his night clothes and took the letter with him. He performed the Taihe School's Qinggong of flying on land and followed the route specified by Jia Su. He jumped over the roofs and soon came to the roof of Shen Shunyi's study in the residence of the Prime Minister. He jumped down gently to see that there was no one around. He came to the window and poked the window paper with his finger covered with saliva. He looked inside and saw an old man in his sixties and sixties, with mottled hair and beard, vivid eyes, and wrinkles on his face like knife carvings. He was bent over the desk reviewing documents. Yan Yun looked at him and thought about what Jia Su had described, and then looked at the surrounding environment. He deduced that the old man in the room was the Prime Minister Shen Shunyi, and said, "I am here to bring medicine to your son." His voice was neither high nor low.
The old man was Shen Shunyi, the prime minister of the Western Mansion. Hearing the voices outside the window, he felt something was wrong. For several days, the servants had gone to the medicine shop designated by the people in the Jin Wang Mansion to get medicine. Why did they deliver it to the mansion tonight? Not to mention, but to his study. The person outside the window must not be a servant in his mansion. The servants in his mansion were not so ignorant of the rules. The person outside the window must be someone in the Jin Wang Mansion. He could come to the inner courtyard of the prime minister's mansion without being noticed. His heart trembled slightly. He said, "Come in." Yan Yun entered the study and handed the letter from the King of Jin to him without saying a word. After he unfolded the letter and read it, he frowned slightly, paced for a while, and wrote a reply letter to the King of Jin and gave it to Yan Yun. Yan Yun took the letter, put it in his arms and said goodbye, and returned to the Yin'an Hall of the Jin Wang Mansion. The King of Jin and his advisers were waiting for Yan Yun. Yan Yun handed the reply letter to the King of Jin and returned to Liushuang Courtyard to rest. After the King of Jin took the letter and read it, he handed it to Jia Su.
Jia Su said: "Shen Shunyi is indeed a man who has worked his way up the government. The selection of the chief clerk of the Palace Front Department has attracted much attention from the court and is very sensitive. He cannot recommend the King of Wei, so he asked his subordinates to do so. Your Highness! Is this important enough?"
The King of Jin thought: "The Western Palace Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, and it is also the responsibility of the Western Palace to recommend the chief clerk of the Palace Front Department. If he does not come forward, his subordinates can also represent the intention of the Western Palace. This is already good."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin summoned the two palaces' important officials and the King of Jin and the King of Fu to the Chuigong Hall to discuss the selection of the chief clerk of the Palace Front Department. The heads of the Western Palace Privy Council include the Privy Envoy Shen Shunyi, the Deputy Privy Envoy Chu Zhaopu and Wang Renshan, and the Privy Council Governor Wang Jisheng. The East Palace's Tongzhongshu Pingzhangshi (Prime Minister) Zhao Pu, the Assistant Prime Minister (Deputy Prime Minister) Liu Xigu and Lu Yuqing, and the Acting Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture Lu Duo.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "My dear ministers! What do you think of the candidate for the commander of the Palace Front Department?"
The ministers were all silent in thought. Zhao Kuangyin knew that the ministers were not pretending to be deaf and dumb, because the position of the commander of the Palace Front Department was very important, not only responsible for the stability of the capital, but also responsible for the peace of the imperial palace.Furthermore, the appointment and transfer of military posts from the sixth rank to the third rank and below shall be recommended by the West Palace Privy Council and finally decided by the East Palace Political Affairs Hall; the appointment of military officers above the third rank shall be decided by the emperor. The second-rank Palace Front Commander was originally decided by the emperor, and it can be said that it is not the responsibility of the East and West Palaces. He still wanted to hear the suggestions of the two palaces, and said: "All my beloved ministers are my loyal ministers. There is no need to be rigid in selecting talents for the country, and you can speak freely!"
Encouraged by the emperor, Wang Jisheng, the governor of the Privy Council, stepped out and said: "Your Majesty! In my humble opinion, the commander of the Palace Front Division should have outstanding military exploits and high moral character, and Weizhou Jiedushi Wei Wang Taishi Fu Yanqing should be the right candidate."
