Daming prepares the emperor
Chapter 169
What happened to Xie Cui'e was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Ma Xiuying, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, was shocked. She didn't know how to deal with what she said, so she could only cover it up and said something else that didn't matter After a while, he told the wives to go back.
Zhu Biao was originally sitting in the Wenhua Hall, dealing with some memorials. He approved those he could approve, and collected those he could not approve. He ordered the General Secretary, who had a large scale at the beginning, to send it to Bianliang for Zhu Yuanzhang to review. Suddenly, he heard Wei Zhongde's biography When the news came, I was stunned for a while, and asked, "Can you say it again?"
"Yes." Wei Zhongde said, "Mrs. Xie who came to the palace today, she said in front of all the wives that the palace is good and the imperial garden is beautiful, and it is not as good as her own. It would be nice if she had one, she seemed to be envious. "
"Did someone lure Mrs. Xie to say that?" Zhu Biao asked.
This is not envy, to exaggerate, it is like wanting to be a queen.
"Returning to the master, the servant girl has inquired clearly. Mrs. Xie and the empress have a very good chat, and the other wives can't get in the way."
Zhu Biao said: "Then check again. At this juncture, who wants to involve Wei Guogong. If you can't find out by yourself, ask Huang Xi to help you."
"Yes."
Wei Zhongde withdrew.
Zhu Biao put down his pen and stared at the inkstone on the table thinking.
The matter between Xie Zaixing and Zhu Wenzheng is "before the jade". In fact, he has little doubts about whether Xie Cuie can say these words, and he is more inclined that this is indeed a coincidence. That's all.
According to his understanding of the Queen, she definitely didn't take it to heart, and he himself didn't really care too much, but the political significance of this matter was too strong. Although Comrade Zhu was not in Beijing, he had a lot of eyeliners , After coming back, it is possible to lose your temper no matter what.
Although Xu Da is from Huaixi, given his status, he did nothing and no one had anything to say in this confrontation, but with his wife's remarks, it would be...
"The water is getting more and more muddy." Zhu Biao sighed and threw the approved playbook aside.
Snapped.
Yang Xian threw a thick stack of impeachment documents on the table, his cheeks were flushed, and he was full of energy: "So many memorials from censors from various places have been sent in less than ten days, it seems that there are not a few people like Zhu Liangzu. Now, what else does Huaixi have to say, and what else does Li Shanchang have to say."
"Have you seen it all?" Liu Ji asked.
"I've read it." Although Yang Xian's character became a little more irritable, he couldn't hide his ability. "Nine out of ten of the contents played here are the truth."
"What are the charges?"
"Forcing people to serve in corvée, taking money from people, wives and daughters, accepting bribes, and giving to officials without permission are all serious crimes."
"You can send them to the prince tomorrow."
"It's only been a few days." Yang Xiandao, "It's just the beginning, not even a side dish. The Holy Majesty is angry because of the matter of Marquis Yongjia, and Li Shanchang is ill again. If we seize this opportunity, many of our people can be arranged to go in." .”
"Do you really think that Li Shan is ill?" Liu Ji asked, looking into Yang Xian's eyes.
"It's none of my business whether he's sick or not." Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, looking back, his tone was indifferent, "It's fine if he's really sick, and it doesn't affect anything if he's sick. Both the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince intend to take care of Huaixi, so I can't help it. Just act as a pawn."
Liu Ji stared at him, and leaned back on the chair after a while: "It's good that you know this, and if you know this, you can still sit in the position of the Ministry of Education."
"Even if I don't want to sit, I will be able to sit sooner or later." Yang Xian said, "But you, sir, really don't plan to do anything else this time? Could it be that I guessed correctly, you really have the intention to quit."
"I underestimated you." Liu Ji said comfortingly, "Yes, I already intend to quit."
"What are you trying to figure out?" Yang Xian seemed extraordinarily calm and flat today after the excitement at the beginning.
"During the time of King Wu, I often saw you in the mansion. At that time, you were full of sleeves, and you were very trustworthy. No matter how many people envy you, you can't come here. Now that you have lost all your cultivation Entering the imperial court as an official, although he is suddenly old and can no longer stir up troubles, but he is also rich and powerful after all, enjoying the prosperity of the world, how long has it passed, how can he suddenly have the intention to retire?"
Liu Ji closed his eyes and did not answer.
Yang Xian then continued: "I knew this earlier, so why bother?"
"When I invited the emperor, I made a fortune teller for myself." Liu Ji said, "The sign is weak and nothing special. I can only see a trace of danger based on years of experience. It's just a trace, but it weighs a lot in my heart." .”
"What do you mean?" Yang Xian asked.
"Huaixi Xungui fought for many years, and the sage ruled the country fiercely, and immediately conquered the world. Their old friends, who went to Zhongshu, went down to officials in various states and governments, spread all over the world, and formed their own faction. The so-called cronies are selected when recommending talents. The root of it is one's fellowship, relatives, and students. If there are layers of wrong protection, killing hundreds of people becomes one person, and with meritorious deeds, killing enemies becomes hundreds, so the country is not stable."
"This is also human nature, and it has existed since ancient times." Yang Xiandao, "It can't be cured at all. I haven't heard of any dynasty that can be spared. It's like the people favoring the youngest, and the emperor favors the eldest son. Everyone has biases. Sir, we If Zhedong grows stronger in the future, like this, it is impossible to..."
"I understand what you're saying." Liu Ji interrupted Yang Xian's long speech, "In the end, one will ebb and the other will ebb and flow, and Yin and Yang will balance, but I will eliminate it and let me increase it. None of you can take care of it." Take this burden."
Yang Xian is arrogant and conceited by nature, so Liu Ji's exaggeration of his status is equivalent to belittling others, which made him subconsciously annoyed, and he only read the hidden meaning after suppressing his emotions.
Only then did Yang Xian understand part of Liu Ji's thoughts. On the one hand, he felt that Liu Ji was a huge fool, and on the other hand, he admired his spirit of sacrifice. He was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then how do you want to retreat, sir?"
"I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry about it."
Not knowing what he was going to do, Yang Xian became anxious again, and the rare calmness he had when he was thinking about the problem just now was forgotten again.
If you want to retreat, it is nothing more than resignation and death, neither of which can be easily done. What is even more difficult is to guard against Huaixi's downfall, and once Liu Ji retreats, he will bear the brunt of the target. How can Li Shanchang be so good? To deal with it, Zhedong can't be mentioned casually.
Seeing his forehead sweating in the early autumn weather, Liu Ji knew that he was thinking again: "Xiwu, although I am going to retire, I am not dead. You don't have to worry about people in eastern Zhejiang not helping you." you."
Yang Xiandao: "I'm just not ready yet."
Liu Ji said, "Look at this."
As he spoke, he handed over a document from his sleeve, Yang Xian respectfully took it, unfolded it to read, and after reading for a while, said pleasantly: "This is the crime of impeachment against Zhongshu Li Bin."
"Li Bin is Li Shanchang's confidant, it can be said to be a heavy blow if it is handled properly." Yang Xiandao, "It's just that this matter is probably not something the crown prince can handle. What if we make trouble with the Holy One?"
"It's just to go to the Holy Majesty."
Yang Xian suddenly realized.
Before Li Bin became the capital of Zhongshu Province, he had some records of serving in various places. This time Yushitai mobilized all his strength to compete with Huaixi. A series is a series, and a lot of evidence is found.
The censors all responded to Zhu Yuanzhang's call and sent documents through the new method of the Secretary of the General Administration.
The original was handed in, and the copy was to be kept as a deposit. Within two hours, all the senior officials of Ying Tianfu knew of Li Bin's mistakes, and also knew that Liu Ji was going to deal with Li Bin.
The originally bustling front of the Li Mansion was suddenly empty, and a large number of spies who were inquiring about the news began to retreat. They were as cautious as they jumped when the weather was calm.
Sensing the change at the door of the house, Mrs. Chen was the first to rush back to the bedroom and said to Li Shan who was lying on the bed: "The people outside have left."
Li Shan said: "All gone?"
"They're all gone." Chen Shi said, "I think something happened, master, do you want to get up and take a look?"
Li Shanchang turned over: "I'm sick, I won't go."
Mrs. Chen then went to pick up his quilt, like shaking off a caterpillar stuck on a leaf: "Master, you have slept enough these two days, you have eaten several chickens and ducks just by eating, if you don't want to look at it, you can't eat it." You should get up and turn around twice, otherwise you will become a useless person."
"When you come together, you have to be busy." Li Shanchang said, "I can't save myself, but I have to be busy with other people's affairs. There is no such reason in the world."
Mrs. Chen looked at him: "It is to save myself that I have to take care of other people's affairs. Master, you can start first. I can't afford it now. I still need to help you get dressed later."
Li Shanchang sat up and sighed, "Who did Liu Ji attack?"
"Li Bin."
"Li Bin?" Li Shanchang repeated her words and fell down again, "It really is Li Bin."
"What should I do?" Chen said, "Are you going to see him or not?"
"See you!" Li Shan said long, "Put on your clothes, he will be here soon."
Mrs. Chen turned around and took the uniform for him from the cabinet: "I think you seem to be saying that cheap word."
"It's nothing..." Li Shanchang touched the sachet next to the pillow, and took two deep breaths. His slightly rosy face immediately turned pale again, and his voice lowered twice, "It's not about him, it's about him Myself."
"Who?" Chen turned around.
Sure enough, Li Bin came quietly wearing a black cloak in the middle of the night, and came in through the small door through which the servants had left. When he saw Li Shanchang, he knelt down, grabbed his clothes and said, "Prime Minister, please save me." Ah. If you don’t save me, I really won’t be able to survive. Those censors stripped out all the underpants of their subordinates, and each piece of paper is cleaner than a dog licking it!”
"Then tell me, is what they said true?"
Li Bin nodded hesitantly, and then immediately said: "Prime Minister, you know, when you become a big official, you have a family to support, food and clothing, and you don't need money for anything. You can manage the top, reward the bottom, and there is no money." It’s hard to move an inch.”
Li Shanchang sat down: "You look up at me first."
Li Bin raised his head and said in surprise, "Prime Minister, you are really sick!"
He saw that Li Shanchang's face was as white as a piece of paper, his eyes were black and blue, and even the corners of his mouth were peeled, like a coolie who had just escaped from the gate of hell.
Li Shanchang pondered for a while, and said with a trembling voice: "Why, you all think I'm pretending to be sick? You don't even think about it, can I hide it from you, and the imperial doctor sent by the palace?"
"Then, the prime minister should take good care of his illness." Even though he was anxious to die, Li Bin did not forget the rules in the officialdom, and expressed a little concern to Li Shanchang.
"I'm in a hurry for you." Li Shanchang said, "I haven't eaten or slept these few days. You don't understand, this difficulty is really difficult."
Zhu Biao was originally sitting in the Wenhua Hall, dealing with some memorials. He approved those he could approve, and collected those he could not approve. He ordered the General Secretary, who had a large scale at the beginning, to send it to Bianliang for Zhu Yuanzhang to review.
