[Comprehensive film and television] Like a spring breeze

In August, there were originally two extremely important days for the ruling and opposition parties.One is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-], and the other is the Emperor’s birthday on August [-].However, because of the empress dowager's national funeral, all the celebrations were stopped, so the former just stopped the court for a holiday, and the latter only received congratulatory forms from all over the country, and the harem of the important ministers and clan held a few small banquets.

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Liang felt sleepy, ordered the queen to suspend the banquet, and distributed regular rewards, then got up and drove back to his bedroom to rest.

Maybe it was fatigue, maybe it was sickness and alcohol, but Emperor Liang felt a little lazy the next day, so he sent an order to stop for a day.

Immediately the imperial doctor came to the palace, and after careful diagnosis, there was no serious illness, so he could only prescribe some evacuation prescriptions for warm treatment.

Emperor Liang himself felt that he was just being lazy, and there was nothing particularly uncomfortable about it. He didn't want to make too much noise, so he ordered the royal courtiers not to enter the palace to ask for medical advice. He took the medicine and slept for a few hours. I feel better.

Although his physical condition improved, Emperor Liang still didn't want to deal with political affairs. After reading a few pages of idle books, he suddenly remembered that Concubine Yue's mother and son were haggard yesterday. Donggong went to visit the prince to show his kindness.

The emperor said he wanted to go "quietly", so of course he couldn't report it in advance, so Gao Zhan only informed Meng Zhi, the commander of the imperial army, to arrange defense. , along the high wall corridor between the Forbidden Garden and the East Palace, quickly and quietly came to the gate of the East Palace.

The holy car came suddenly, and the people on duty in front of the East Palace panicked and knelt down on the ground.

Because Emperor Liang had already arrived, everyone was busy saluting, no one dared to get up and run inside at this moment, no one went in to report to the crown prince.

"Join Your Majesty, Master of the State Teacher."

"What is the prince doing?" The emperor frowned and looked at the palace in the distance.

The waiter's faltering answer made the group feel puzzled. Emperor Liang lingered on his face for a moment, and said coldly: "Everyone kneels here for me. You must not report or act without authorization. National teacher, Meng Zhi, Gao Zhan, follow me in!"

Going in this way, of course, along the way, they met many people from the East Palace. Although these people didn't know the situation, they could still understand Meng Zhi's gesture to silence them. They all knelt down by the roadside, and no one dared to move.

After passing the wall of the Ming Hall, turn to the Yongfeng Pavilion, and then the Changxin Hall.

Emperor Liang stepped down from his chariot, and just stepped onto the wooden corridor, when he heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from inside, he was furious and quickened his pace.

Music is banned throughout the country during the national mourning period, which is a ritual system.It's just that the three-year filial piety period is a bit longer, and later on, many people will start to quietly violate the rules. As long as they don't disclose it too much, and don't report it, the court will mostly turn a blind eye.

But after all, the status of the prince is not the same as that of ordinary people. Firstly, he is the crown prince, and secondly, he is the direct descendant of the empress dowager. Then he started to play music, which is really against etiquette.

"Listen! Listen! This is my prince!" His Majesty rushed to the palace door angrily. "Master, if I break in now..."

"Your Majesty, if you break in now, the crime of playing music during the funeral will be enough for the prince to eat a pot." Mu Yanshan said the rules without any emotion.

"Nizi, Nizi, you will really give me problems."

Emperor Liang stood for a while in front of the closed hall door under the corridor, and when he heard the music that was deliberately lowered inside, his face was very ugly.

But at this time, he still had some reason left in his mind, knowing that if he broke in like this, he would be charged with being unfilial for performing music during the prince's funeral. Small crimes are enough to overwhelm all the prince's already weak virtues. Not only will a waste of words be in front of him, but a large number of people related to the East Palace will also be hanged.

Taking a step back, even though he no longer has any sympathy for the crown prince, Emperor Liang still wants to do this slowly, and does not want an unexpected incident to be the cause of his abolition.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang endured the anger in his heart, and did not make a sound, turned around with a dark face, and was about to leave quietly, when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"If my father hadn't set up a honorable king to oppose me, would my grand prince have done those things? Could I? Say I have no virtue, but how good is my father's virtue?" cup.

His Majesty was furious, he drew out Meng Zhi's sword and was about to rush in, but Gao Zhan couldn't stop him.In fact, Emperor Liang was just angry, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. As soon as he rushed to the closed door of the hall with the knife, he felt at a loss again, swung his blade back and slashed hard, and cut a slash in the vermilion column in front of the door. Shen Hen, then slammed the knife on the ground, turned around and walked away in great strides.

"Today's affairs are strictly prohibited from being circulated outside. For the time being, it will be hidden for the time being. From today onwards, the East Palace will be sealed off, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will."

"Including the prince?" Meng Zhi asked.

"Including the prince!" His Majesty was furious.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The confinement of the crown prince is a serious matter, and it is difficult to implement it only by oral instructions. Please give me an imperial decree!" Meng Zhi knelt down and begged for orders. Closing the East Palace is a big matter. You can hold the handle, and you can't argue with yourself.

His Majesty pretended not to hear, Meng Zhi still wanted to ask for orders, but Mu Yanshan pulled him up and signaled him to shut up.

The movement was not small, and the prince in the palace was startled. When he crawled out to look, he only saw a corner of Emperor Liang's ocher yellow robe disappearing outside the door of the outer hall. There was a buzzing sound on his head, all the bones in his body seemed to be sucked out all at once, and his whole body was limp on the ground.

……

After seeing off Emperor Liang, Meng Zhi walked along the corridor with the Imperial Teacher's Mansion, and Meng Zhi was anxious to ask the Imperial Teacher to give him some advice.

It is not difficult to hide today's Changxin Palace and not spread it to the outside world. Firstly, there are not many people present, so Meng Zhi can strictly order the forbidden army to keep silent. Gao Zhan from the inner court will handle it, and the people from the Eastern Palace dare not say more One word, so the news was blocked very tightly.

However, it is more difficult to prohibit everyone from entering and leaving the East Palace. The prince himself can say that he knows the reasons for the confinement, and he dare not fight in despair. The hard part is mainly on the outside.

Others are fine, the prince's young teacher, Shaobao, Taifu and others come to see the prince every day. Although these people are not part of the party struggle, they are dedicated to performing their duties. It was them, but when the crown prince was moved from the left to Guijia Palace, they were the ones who protected him the most. It’s just that such quaint ministers now have no real power in the court and are not as important as they were in the previous court. Therefore, the crown prince respects them, But he doesn't rely on them, King Yu values ​​them, but he doesn't fear them. Most of the time they are symbolic, and they don't play a big role in the real intrigues and intrigues.

But regardless of whether they have real power or not, these old gentlemen are the three teachers of the prince. Meng Zhi only relied on the words "Shang Shang's oral instructions" and could not explain the reasons in detail. It was really difficult to stop them.

Besides, Daoming didn't even issue an edict for such a major event that shook the world, such as the crown prince of the claustrophobic East Palace, so it will inevitably attract people's doubts.

"My lord, if His Majesty doesn't give me anything, what should I do?"

The national teacher suddenly turned his head, and his clear and moist eyes glanced at Meng Zhi like autumn water, "Did the emperor pay attention to you when you mentioned it?"

"No."

"Why is he ignoring you? Is it because he didn't hear clearly, or because he was confused?"

Meng Zhi was startled, speechless.

"If there is anyone in this world who understands His Majesty's heart best, it is definitely not the empress or concubine, not the crown prince, not the courtiers who have been speculating on his holy will, and it is not me, but Gao Zhan. He is always by His Majesty's side, Over the years, the trust has not faded, and it is impossible to do it without a quick response and accurate judgment."

Her gaze was serious and piercing, and Meng Zhi was forced to lower her head by that gaze. Mu Yanshan continued: "Take the matter of the Changxin Palace as an example. Your majesty ignored your request for a handwritten order, which means your majesty At that time, he was hesitant at all. Firstly, he didn't want to deal with it immediately, and secondly, he didn't want to deal with it so badly that he wouldn't be able to return to life later.

If the decree is issued by the Zhongshu Chaoge to claustrophobic the crown prince, there must always be a reason. No matter what the reason is written, once it is serious enough to claustrophobic the crown prince, it is not a small crime.

The current situation of the crown prince cannot bear such an edict. Once it is issued, it will be abolished even if it is not abolished.So for His Majesty, what you asked him to issue at that time can almost be regarded as an edict to abolish the crown prince..."

Meng Zhi broke out in cold sweat on his back, and said anxiously: "But I didn't mean that! I just..."

"You just took over the East Palace for more convenience. I understand this, Gao Zhan understands it, and even His Majesty understands it. So when you asked at the beginning, His Majesty didn't get angry, but just ignored it. But if you keep asking again and again Asking him to issue an edict clearly, based on His Majesty's mood at the time, and his usual suspiciousness, I'm afraid he won't just ignore you. Besides, don't forget, the case of the inner prison being killed After King Yu came to intercede for you, in His Majesty's mind, he more or less suspected that you were partial to King Yu, at this time you strongly requested to issue an imperial edict to put the crown prince to death..."

Mu Yanshan sneered twice, "Is our Majesty very lenient? Is he considerate? Where would he be suspicious? By the emperor's side, serving the emperor like a tiger, and being in such a sinister place like the harem, Gao Zhan absolutely He is a wise and intelligent person. He is loyal to the emperor, does not get involved in inner court favoritism, does not get involved in government affairs, does not have bad thoughts and does not harm others, and gives some favors and good intentions without any trace when he has the opportunity. This way, no matter in the future Who is favored, who is in the position, he can't escape with a good death. On the contrary, the more those actions are, the more people stand and line up to take refuge in this, and those who support that fall down one after another. The court is like this, the harem ...isn't that the case."

Meng Zhi waved his hands a little ashamedly, and said, "I don't think you don't say these things, but once you say it, it's really true!"

Mu Yanshan pursed her lips, and said, "I usually go to the Su mansion for nothing, and let Mei Changsu teach you well. By the way, a few days ago, I saw a Xiangdi diary at the concubine Jing's place, it was Mei Changsu. Changsu's?"

"Yes, but it was borrowed by His Royal Highness Prince Jing, why did it end up in the hands of Concubine Jing. By the way, my lord, I..." Before Meng Zhi could finish speaking, Mu Yanshan turned and left.

Meng Zhi frowned, muttered a few words, turned around and ran away, now that group of princelings are looking for him everywhere, he has to stay away.

The matter of the crown prince has not yet been resolved, and a decree of Emperor Liang broke the last peace of King Jing—the seventh son of the emperor, Xiao Jingyan, is honest, benevolent and filial, virtuous and honest, loyal and heroic, and has made many achievements. crown.

Before Xiao Jingyan was conferred the title of prince, no matter whether it was the harem, the court, or even Emperor Liang himself, they were all doing a narrow choice of one or the other.

It seems that if you don’t choose the crown prince, you should choose Yuwang, and if you don’t choose Yuwang, you should choose the prince. Even if you don’t clearly express your support at this stage, one of those two will be on the throne sooner or later.

Under this kind of thinking pattern, when everyone saw Prince Jing, who was originally on the second rank of the clan, wearing a five-ball dragon suit and a five-bead crown on his head, standing beside King Yu in a majestic and imposing manner, that The visual impact of the whole picture is even stronger than when he first heard the news of his promotion.

Even the most insensitive to politics realized at that moment that a new regime had begun.

The person who was most annoyed by King Jing's ascension was of course Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan.

Looking back now, he thinks that he almost watched Prince Jing step by step, gaining a firm foothold on the court without showing any signs of dew, and in the process, there were obviously so many opportunities for him. Suppressed to the point where he couldn't get ahead, he let him go out of thin air like a ghost, what's more, sometimes he helped him.King Yu felt like the farmer who simmered the frozen snake, he was so remorseful that he wanted to curse.

……

After the Frost's Descent, the statistical chronology of this year's autumn harvest in various places has been delivered to the imperial court one after another.Due to the drought in spring and summer this year, several state capitals have reported the disaster situation early, and some places even suffered locust plagues in the fall, resulting in no crops, and hungry people wandering around begging for food. The situation is very serious.In order to gain fame, Yu Wang donated 3 taels of silver to the people in addition to the food and silver provided by the household department for disaster relief, in the name of reducing the government's expenses and saving money, which won him a good reputation.

Unexpectedly, an incident of robbing a bodyguard happened on the way, and the criminal department handled it quickly and found out the reason very quickly.

Yuezhou is one of the most disaster-stricken states this year. People have starved to death while waiting for the relief from the imperial court. Go, scattered back to the victims.

As the news spread, many people in Yuezhou jointly requested to commute the crime of the robbers, creating an uproar, embarrassing Wang Yu, embarrassing himself, and came out many times to declare that he did not know about the gift-giving in Yuezhou. gift.

Although he tried his best to clarify, it is difficult to say how many court officials would believe that Yuezhou would not give gifts in good years but in disaster years.

Because of this scandal, although Emperor Liang did not explicitly accuse Prince Yu, he asked him to avoid suspicion and not to intervene in disaster relief matters, so he reassigned Prince Jing.

King Jing and Shen Zhui, Minister of the Household Department, had been on good terms with each other, they cooperated tacitly, and they had no sense of restraint between them. In addition, they were both very self-disciplined and extremely principled people. After the usual state officials, they quickly took control of the situation.

Although I dare not say that the errands are handled as cleanly as possible from top to bottom, but compared to the situation in previous years when only one-third of the disaster money went into the hands of the victims, it is really a heaven and a hell.

Shen Zhui is a man of action, and he couldn't sit still in the capital, so he asked for an order to inspect the disaster area in person, so as to reduce the number of deaths, prevent riots, pass the winter safely, and ensure that there will be no shortage of spring plowing in the coming year.

Discussed with King Jing many good ways to ensure people's livelihood, since this memorial was approved and implemented by Emperor Liang, it has achieved very good results.

Not only has there been no catastrophe in the situation, but the treasury has not suffered a big loss. At the same time, the behavior of local officials has been cleaned up and new regulations have been opened.

Prince Jing's image of being able to fight on horseback and rule when dismounted was further established, and Shen Zhui's official reputation became more and more popular, and his prestige in the court became more and more powerful. King Yu tried to find ways to find him several times, but in the end he failed.

At the end of the year, the Sitian Supervisor reported that the National Teacher's Office approved that there was red light invading Ziwei in the southeast, and the astrology was fading.

Emperor Liang made this decree, saying that the prince had no virtue, and heaven had warned him, so he abolished the prince as King Xian, ordered him to move out of Beijing, and live in Xianzhou.

At the same time, two more King Jing beads were added, and he became the Prince of the Seven Beads together with King Yu.

Mu Yanshan had just returned from court when she received news from all directions.

"Prince Yu has discovered that Mei Changsu is pretending to help him, plotting to expose that incident to take revenge. In addition, Mei Changsu ordered Xie Yu to write down the secret and hand it over to Princess Liyang for preservation. Xia Jiang sent someone to assassinate Liyang. The eldest princess was stopped by someone. Prince Yu made an appointment with Xia Jiang, and the two planned to find out what happened back then and bring down Prince Jing!"

"After the matter is over, there is no need for the Red Sleeve Trick anymore, let's take everyone back!" Mu Yanshan waved her hand to signal the hidden guard to go down.

"Xie Yu has been attacked several times in exile recently, and we have protected them. Now he is terrified. In addition, Xia Dong's whereabouts out of Beijing in the past few months have been found out. She is looking for Xie Yu's left deputy general. , the current commander of Jiaxing Gate, Wei Qi. But I got the news yesterday that before she arrived at Jiaxing Gate, Wei Qi died strangely in the middle of the night." Mu Xuan said.

"Xia Dong..." Could it be that... this female envoy intends to investigate the entire case of his coach from the beginning for the sake of her dead husband?And Xia Jiang hastily silenced, presumably he still valued this female apprentice who had already become suspicious, and was unwilling to embark on the road to a final breakup with her...

It's a pity that Xia Jiang didn't know that Xia Dong had already heard the most deadly confession from Xie Yu in the dark prison cell that day.So no matter how much he concealed it, ever since he ruthlessly killed the killer, a breakup was inevitable.

"The real struggle has just begun..." Mu Yanshan muttered to herself.

Standing up and walking to the edge of the pavilion, a long skirt was on the floor, the tassels were blown up by the wind, and the moonlight was shining like a leak. The silent woman looked even more serious.
