The Controversy of the Eastern Palace
Things must never be done in the north. As soon as Master Cui Ren finished speaking, he heard Tai Wen said in surprise! "What kind of person is the emperor today? He is the hero who is about to conquer the world. He is a person who is shunned by all ghosts throughout his life.
As an emperor, you can only give good words to persuade, how can a hundred officials threaten you? What's more, this is not a hundred officials, but the generals at the bottom of the army. Once this happens, I am afraid that both the government and the public will be shaken, and the army will also be shaken.
There is a turbulent scene. This must not be the case.”
"Yes, you must not do this, otherwise something big will happen." Changsun Wuji also turned pale with fright, and waved his hands repeatedly: "We can still discuss this matter. But once this happens, it will be a crony.
, that is a conspiracy, your Majesty is wise and powerful. But this is the only thing that must not be done. Once done, I am afraid it will arouse His Majesty's wrath, and by then, no one can stop His Majesty's actions."
"Oh, if I hadn't been reminded by the two adults, I would have made a big mistake." Master Cui Ren rolled his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't help but stamp his feet and said, "That's right. His Majesty has been fighting all his life and has a resolute personality. How could he allow those generals to rise up and cause trouble?
, this matter cannot be done, otherwise, even if I am an important minister of the Xuande Palace, I will be unlucky. Thank you two adults. Otherwise, I, Mrs. Cui, will be in trouble this time." Cui Renshi showed a wry smile on his face.
"I am your Majesty's minister. Even if your Majesty makes mistakes in your actions, you should give more advice and advice, and you should not do anything to threaten the monarch." Fang Xuanling frowned and glanced at Cui Renshi with slight dissatisfaction.
If Master Cui Ren really did this, I am afraid that none of the important ministers of Xuande Palace like him can escape the responsibility. "You guys, what you said makes sense. Cui Renshi nodded and said. Everyone saw this and heaved a sigh of relief. Once this happens,
When something happens, none of the important officials of Xuande Palace can escape.
"Let's go!" Feng Wenwen sighed deeply when he saw this. He was about to get on the carriage on the side, but saw a movement of his wrist. He raised his hand and turned to look at Xiao, but saw that it was Changsun Wuji who was supporting him. He suddenly felt moved in his heart and said with a smile.
: "I am not that old yet. Thank you very much, Lord Changsun."
"Your Excellency is the chief minister of our court and the pillar of the current court. If something happens to the court in the future, I will have to support you." Changsun Wuji sighed. He glanced at Master Cui Ren who was about to get on the carriage. His eyes were full of worry.
He knew Master Cui Ren deeply, and since he brought it up, something might happen in the future. When Feng Wenwen saw this, he was shocked and nodded silently. He also didn't believe that Master Cui Ren could give in easily.
The carriages and horses were sparkling, and the seven carriages slowly came out, leaving the Zhuque Gate, along the Zhuque Avenue, and soon disappeared into the huge Chang'an City. However, with the disappearance of the seven auxiliary ministers, the originally peaceful Chang'an City
, and soon the undercurrent surged again.
"Sir, Mr. Wang has been waiting for a long time. Wei Ting had just returned home when he saw the concierge and housekeeper saying cautiously.
"Master Xiao Wang? Which Master Wang?" Wei Ting looked at the concierge in surprise and said. He is the minister of Xuande Palace. People come to visit on weekdays, but when he is not at home, who can sit in the hall?
What about waiting for yourself?
"Taiyuan Wang family Wang Jia." The concierge said cautiously.
"Is it him?" Wei Ting nodded. If it was this person, he would be qualified to enter the Wei Mansion Hall to wait for him. In terms of county princes and so on, the Wang family of Taiyuan is a big giant, and its reputation is far higher than that of the Wei family in the capital.
Above, if he had not assisted the Li family in the past and became the enemy of Lu Zhaoci, I am afraid that at this time, the Taiyuan Wang family would also have a place in the Xuande Hall, and they would not be as sinking in Chang'an City as they are now.
"Brother Xiao Wang." Wei Ting thought for a while, his eyes moved, and a strange look appeared on his face. A burst of laughter suddenly appeared on his face. He laughed as he walked.
"Seeing Mr. Wei under the dripping eaves, Wang Jia looked at Wei Ting who was coming slowly, with a complicated expression in his eyes, but soon his face was filled with a smile and he arched his hands towards Wei Ting. The person was there.
Under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Wang Gua had left the officialdom for a long time. If not for the great reputation of his Taiyuan Wang family, he would have been killed by Lu Zhaoci long ago. He was from a noble family, and if he left the court, the noble family would not
As a member of the Guanlong family. So this forces him to integrate into the officialdom, and to integrate into the officialdom, someone must recommend him. Wei Ting, who is also from the Guanlong family, is the best candidate. The peace talks a few days ago,
Originally he thought it was an opportunity, but unfortunately, he failed. Today he finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to see Wei Ting in person.
"Brother Wang, why are you so polite? Please." Wei Ting looked at Wang Gua complicatedly. The situation back then was not what it is now. It was Wei Ting who gave way to Wang Fa and saluted when he saw Wang Fa. Today, he fell down.
Son.
"The etiquette of the imperial court is not neglected.
"Wang Gua was very bachelor, and said with a smile: "Master Wei is now an important minister of Xuande Palace. Although you and I have a good personal relationship, we still need to pay attention to these things.
"Xuande Hall? Hum, the position of Xuande Hall now is like chewing candle wax!" Wei Ting thought of what Wang Cai had done in Xifeng Pavilion again, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Wang
Brother, you just saw the scenery of Xuande Hall. But you don’t know that although Xuande Hall is very beautiful, you still have to see who the master is. Today’s emperor is wise and powerful. Everyone in Xuande Hall; the old man who upholds the saints
It's just a matter of purpose. Today I have a lucky idea, tomorrow I have an idea, today the Holy Spirit wants to streamline the staff. Tomorrow I have to carry out this reform, and that reform, it will be painful!"
"Xiao Xiao, is something going to happen?" Wang Zhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty is going to form a standing army. Today, when a few of us stopped him from going back, Wei Ting couldn't help but blurt out.
"Establishing a standing army?" Wang Gua trembled in his heart and looked at Wei Ting in surprise.
In fact, Wei Ting felt something bad as soon as he said what he said, but now that he had said it, he didn't want to stop him anymore, and continued, saying: "General Li Jing's disciple Xue Rengui was in
The views put forward by Wu Xue were heard by His Majesty, so this resolution was made. It was just that it was not passed in Xuande Hall. But this is only temporary. You also know that today's emperor is determined to kill. We, the ministers, cannot stop it.
Yes, if it weren't for the enlightened officials of the Tang Dynasty and the wise and powerful emperors today, this would have been carried out long ago during the period of the former Sui Dynasty Emperor. But, hey, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time. Even if you follow the text, there is no way to stop it.
Come, please take a seat and serve tea. The two of them entered the hall. After the guests and hosts were seated, Wei Ting sighed deeply and told Xue Rengui's words again.
"This. This standing army has not existed in the past dynasties, but if it is according to His Majesty's wishes, at least part of the tax revenue of our Tang Dynasty will be spent on the army every year. This has a great impact on our dynasty's finances!
"Wang Jia also had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. He didn't expect Lu Zhaoci to be so generous. "Yes, in the end, we used this excuse to temporarily get rid of His Majesty's rebuke. Wei Ting showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
, said: "What's more important is that once this matter spreads, I will annex many of the more than 600 Zhechong Mansion. Then Mr. Cui said to ask those low-level officers to write to Your Majesty. Let Your Majesty temporarily put an end to this kind of situation."
It's a shame that he came up with this idea. This is a threat to Your Majesty. Once His Majesty knows about this matter. Let alone Master Cui Ren, even we will be punished by Your Majesty. I am afraid that the position of Xuande Palace will be given to others.
The bitterness on Wei Ting's face became even stronger.
"Master Cui Ren is also from the Cui family. He is proficient in Confucianism. How did he come up with such an idea? Wang Jia's eyes flashed with light, his eyes rolled, but he shook his head and said.
"Who is your Majesty? How can you be confused by the difficulties at hand? I am afraid that your Majesty will forcefully implement military restructuring soon." Wei Ting shook his head and said, "This is only a matter of time."
"That's right! The peaceful and prosperous age is coming soon. It's a pity that I, the king, will not be able to serve the court at that time!" When Wang Wah thought of this, he looked at Wei Ting with a sad expression and said: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have done it."
I did what I did in the first place. If I hadn’t had the name of the Taiyuan Wang family, I would have died like Pei Ji long ago under a glass of poisonous wine. Now that the Li family is almost dead, I, the Wang family, should also bear the blame.
It has been cleared. Your Majesty loves the people like your own children, why can't you forgive me, the Taiyuan Wang family?"
"Actually, according to Brother Wang's talent, the position of second assistant in Xuande Palace is also acceptable!" Wei Ting said with a smile: "It's a pity." Although Wei Ting said the word "pity" in his mouth, he just didn't know this.
What does it mean to be a pity?
"Yeah, pitiful me, Wang Gua, who has the heart to serve the country, but has no way to do so!" Wang Gua sighed looking up to the sky. With a look of resentment on his face, he said, "Now he can only hide aside and do some things.
The lowly things are really damaging to the face of our Guanlong family! Look, today's Jiangzuo and today's Guandong are all high-ranking officials. The Xuande Palace, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, etc. are all from the Guandong family or the Jiangdong family.
The descendants of the Zuo family and I, the descendants of the Guanlong family, rarely appear in court anymore.
Wei Ting frowned when he heard this. After a while, he said: "I already know the purpose of Brother Wang's visit. In fact, Brother Wang's talent is far superior to that of Wei Ting, and he also has a place in Xuande Hall, if it was before.
I, Wei Ting, can recommend Brother Wang to Your Majesty. But at this moment, Brother Wang was assisting the Li family. What’s more, if Your Majesty opens the imperial examination today, there will be a certain number of people in the capital. The high-ranking officials need at least the approval of Xuande Palace.
Your Majesty even has to appoint him personally. This official is helpless. But he can still be a minor official. Brother Wang, how about you first go to the Ministry of Punishment to serve as a legal officer? Your Majesty treats people sincerely. As long as you finally make contributions to Your Majesty, he will
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment must belong to Brother Wang, and it is even possible to enter the Xuande Hall one day.
"Then Mr. Wei will have to promote you more!" Wang Gua showed a hint of joy on his face. Although he was just a legal officer, he finally re-entered the officialdom. Commenting on his connections in the Wang family, he soon became the minister.
Or the chancellor is possible. Of course, if he wants to become an important minister of the Xuande Palace, it cannot be done by Wei Ting alone. Perhaps, as long as Lu Zhaoci is in power, it doesn't matter whether he, Wang Gua, can become an important minister of the Xuande Palace.
must.
"Brother Wang, what you and I discussed just now must not be spread. Otherwise, the government will be in turmoil. Not to mention that the lower-level officers of the Tang Dynasty army will have uneasy feelings. Once His Majesty knows about this matter, I am afraid that Lord Cui will
There can only be one."
Mouth...: Xiaoweiting looked at Wang Ti with a happy face, and secretly regretted in his heart. He couldn't tell anyone about his love, not to mention that the matter was of great importance. Once spread, it would cause a backlash in the military and make suggestions.
Master Cui Ren was probably going to be in bad luck, and even Wei Ting and others would also be criticized. So Wei Ting had no choice but to warn him again.
"Of course, of course." Wang Gua nodded and said: "There are more than 600 places in Zhechong Mansion in our dynasty. Once the standing army is fully established, many of the captains and others in Zhechong Mansion will be annexed. Some of them will become captains.
Captain, even lowered the dagger. Once the news spreads, it will not turn into an uproar. Mr. Wang still knows this bit of common sense. Mr. Wei can rest assured. Wang Gua will definitely keep the secret.
"That's very good." Wei Ting nodded after hearing this. The two of them talked again. Wei Tingfang sent Wang Lao out, and Wang Gua also got what he wanted, with a look on his face.
The look of joy on the face.
"The little one, the mere one, wants to send me away. He is simply humiliating me. In the study room of the Wang family's palace in Taiyuan, Wang Lian looked ferocious. He looked like a wild beast that wanted to eat people. I'm afraid Wei Ting never thought of it. Wang Gang
Wang Guo, who was still smiling with him, changed his appearance in the blink of an eye. He looked like he was gnashing his teeth. Not only did he not have any gratitude for Wei Ting's kindness in promoting him, but he was cursing in his heart. A Dharma Cao was only a few years old.
Ranking officer. Not to mention compared with Wei Ting, an important minister of the Xuande Palace, even in the Ministry of Justice, a minister, a minister, etc. could shit and piss on his head. Who is Wang Jian? Just a few years ago, Li Yuan called him
When he was the emperor, his status was only under Pei Ji, in the imperial court, which is equivalent to the position of Changsun Wuji or Cui Renshi in Xuande Palace. When Wei Ting saw him, he was like a slave seeing his master. He was flattering.
It's too late.
How can it be like today? Wang Jian came to the door and waited in person. Then like a dog, he took the owner's last bone and happily hid aside to enjoy it. But it is a pity that Wang Fa is not a dog.
, he is the helmsman of the Wang family in Taiyuan. A bone cannot satisfy his appetite. He wants to get more things.
"If this continues, I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, will probably become the laughing stock of Chang'an City. Wang Jia frowned. He is in a critical stage at this time. If he takes over, the heads of countless high-ranking families in the world will only do a
If the news about being a judge of the Ministry of Justice spreads outside, I'm afraid it will cause a sensation in Chang'an City; but then again, if I don't become this judge, I'm afraid I will never have the opportunity to join the imperial court and become a bigger official in the future.
.Wang Gua was suddenly in a state of confusion.
"Hey! This is a good idea. "Heng Humph, let's see what you dignitaries will do this time." Wang Hang walked around in the study. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his face
A proud smile appeared on his face, and after a while, a burst of laughter came from the study room. "The Wang family in Taiyuan is really in decline now. Wang Fa actually became a Dharma cao." In Xuande Hall, Changsun Wuji looked at Wei Ting
The recommended list was sent to him, and he shook his head gently. Although today, today, today, today, today, although today, today's emperor doesn't like the family, and even intentionally or unintentionally, he attacks the family, but he has to admit that the trend of hundreds of years cannot be solved in a short time.
, the five surnames and the seven sects still occupy an important position within the Tang Dynasty. In the imperial examinations held every three years, the children of high-ranking families still occupy the majority of the places. This is not the examiner's intentional favoritism, it is actually these high-ranking families.
The foundation of Daxing children is much higher than that of Han people, so they are still the main source of court officials. Of course, among these high-ranking surnames, their respective statuses are also very different. For example, the former Taiyuan Wang family, this
There has been a trend of decline in the past few years, which is why Wang Lian had to come forward to seek an official position. People have to bow their heads under the roof. The Tang Dynasty has been set, and it cannot be changed if you want. It is better to take the initiative to join it and join early.
You can occupy an advantageous position, such as Wei Ting.
Changsun Wuji sighed softly. He was in charge of the personnel department, and the selection of officials naturally went through his hands. A small official like Fa Cao did not need to report to Lu Zhaoci. He, an important minister of Xuande Palace, could make the decision.
Yes, but the choice of this Dacao was very unusual, which made Changsun Wuji hesitate for a while.
"Brother Fuji, isn't he just a magic cao? Do you need to be so serious? At this time, Master Cui Ren walked in with a smile. He said with a smile: If your one fails, replace it with mine! Eh! Wang
Hang up! The Taiyuan Wang family? Master Cui Ren couldn't help but take back the recommendation list in his hand. The people he recommended were the Cui family's children, but in comparison, the Taiyuan Wang family's name was still very big, even Master Cui Ren was famous.
It's not easy to steal his limelight.
"Brother Zhangsun, um, isn't it too young to let Wang Jia serve as the Cao Cao?" Cui Renshi looked surprised and puzzled, and suddenly laughed and said: "This Wei Ting is really interesting, he actually recommended Wang Jia to be the Punishment Department.
He is not afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at the disunity of the Guanlong family. It is really funny to laugh at him that Wei Ting will be arrogant when he is proud. I, the Cui family, will not fight for the position of the FA Cao. I will give it to Wang Guang."
