Horses passed between the windows, and black rabbits flew away.
The fourteenth year of Chongping passed quickly with Xue Pan being sent to Dali Temple to be beaten and the Ningguo Mansion family banquet.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
The incident of Xue Pan's case did not cause even the slightest disturbance in Rong Ning's second house. Even Jia's mother just sighed for a while. No matter what her emotions or opinions were, under the four words "human life matters", all The flags and flags died down.
As for Jia Heng's "righteousness to destroy relatives", because Xue Pan did not lose his life, he did not say anything about disowning relatives?
Because there is still a broad social consensus on the concept of killing someone to pay for his life.
Since he is not dead, then Uncle Heng has done his best.
Besides, I just helped the Xue family not long ago, sent troops to search the mountains, helped with the audits, and begged the palace for grace to keep the emperor's business. These were all things that happened a few days ago. How can I say that? Is it a bit disrespectful?
It can only be said that Xue Pan caused too much trouble.
This is probably the mainstream public opinion in Ning Rong's second mansion.
As for public opinion in Beijing, there are mixed opinions.
In this way, time flies by, and soon it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Ningrong and Rongfu are worshiping their ancestors in the ancestral hall with great fanfare. All kinds of things are in place. Both houses have changed the door gods, couplets, hanging signs, and have newly painted peach charms, giving them a completely new look.
From the main hall, the warm pavilion, the inner hall, the three inner gates, the inner Yimen to the inner hanging door, all the way to the main hall, the main door is wide open. There are tall tall candles in the color vermilion on both sides of the steps, lit like two golden dragons.
Jia Heng led the men, women, and children of the Jia clan to gather in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. At the time of Xu, the female relatives of the two houses celebrated a banquet in Tianxiang Tower, and then they all dispersed.
In the study room of Ningguo Mansion, there is a lamp like a bean, and a clear and thin figure is writing at the desk.
Jia Heng is writing a congratulatory note. He will have to go to the palace to congratulate the emperor tomorrow morning. At that time, the officials will write a congratulatory note to celebrate New Year's Eve, and he also needs to handwrite a congratulatory note.
However, in addition to the more than 100 words at the beginning of the parallel four-liliu and Yingzhi-shiwen, he also prepared a strategy at the bottom to present to the emperor.
I finished writing hard and waited for the pen and ink to dry. Suddenly I heard the sound of jingling rings. The light jingling sound echoed in the small hall through a brocade screen. Along with the fragrant fragrance, a graceful and graceful figure appeared. Here it is Qin Keqing.
"Husband." Qin Keqing approached and said softly.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qin Keqing and asked warmly: "It's so late and you're still not asleep?"
After thinking about it, he seemed to have some realization, and smiled and said, "I will go to the palace to congratulate you early tomorrow morning, but you are a little worried."
Qin Keqing sat on the chair next to Jia Heng, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows, gentle and soft, and said softly: "Husband, I can't sleep, for fear of losing my etiquette."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Hey, the old lady didn't come to see you for advice?"
This is a joke.
Qin Keqing said softly: "The old lady gave me special instructions this afternoon."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The old lady is Mrs. Rong Guo. She has entered the palace many times. She must be familiar with the etiquette procedures and precautions when meeting the queen mothers of the two palaces. You go there with the old lady and be more careful. There will be no hindrance to you, the queen empress is respectful to the world, has a broad mind, and is incomparable to others."
As I talked, I couldn't help but think of Queen Song.
Qin Keqing nodded, turned his head, looked at the writing tables on the cases, and said, "Husband, what is written here?"
"The congratulatory form will be used to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow." Jia Heng said with a slight smile.
Yong'anfang, Yangzhai
In the study room, the lights are brightly lit and the figures look longingly.
Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet and the great scholar of Huagaidian, Qi Kun, the minister of household affairs, Pang Shilang, the minister of rites, Peng Ye, the left deputy censor, and Liu Yu, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. Several people were sitting on wooden chairs and seemed to be discussing something secretly.
"Father."
Suddenly, a tall and tall figure was reflected on the screen. Yang Sihong, the eldest son of Yang Guochang, walked lightly into the inner room. The orange lights reflected Guanyu's elegant face.
Facing Yang Guochang's inquiring gaze, Yang Sihong said: "Father, just now, Academicians Lu and Xu have agreed to remonstrate with the Lord to stop the military parade. They have received strong support from many elites in the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
At the beginning, Li Zan proposed that Emperor Chongping should restore the system of Taizu and Taizong and revive military parades to cheer up people's hearts. This proposal was approved by Emperor Chongping, but Yang Guochang did not dare to object openly at that time, and today he is trying to stop it.
Yang Guochang took a deep breath, looked around at the party officials with his old eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it has been more than twenty years since the emperor stopped the military parade in the 15th year of Longzhi, which wasted people and money. Now, Grand Scholar Li, For the selfish interests of one party, I have followed a treacherous and sycophantic child, trying to disrupt the order of civil and military affairs, and bring trouble to the imperial court. I am the head of the imperial court, and it is extremely difficult for me to comply. Tomorrow, on New Year’s Eve, the Holy Admiral will hold a banquet for all the ministers at the Xihe Palace. We will lend you a congratulatory form. , vigorously explain its shortcomings, and remonstrate with the Holy One."
He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the civil and military regulations should not be ruined by him. Even if he is hated by the Holy Spirit for doing so, he must speak righteously.
And tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. As long as the ministers criticize, according to the usual practice, the emperor will accept the advice humbly and calm down the public opinions. He also needs to discuss it carefully, so that there will not be another military parade on the first day of the first lunar month. This matter will be done. Half done.
To put it bluntly, Yang Guochang wanted to launch a surprise attack without giving Emperor Chongping and Li Zan, who supported the matter, time to react.
Qi Kun's face was solemn, and he pondered: "Enxiang, the holy will has been decided long ago. Will this move cause the wrath of the Holy Lord Long Yan?"
After all, this move was suspected of coercion. Once Emperor Chongping became angry, it would not end well.
Yang Guochang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Holy Master is good at accepting advice and will not be angry because of this. Kuang Qingliu has been grudges for a long time. Otherwise, with their arrogance, how could they be the first to raise objections? We are just following the current."
The real reason is that even if the emperor knows that he is involved in this matter, he will not overturn the table as long as his old bones are needed for a day.
Not to mention, tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve, when all the people are celebrating, will the emperor be angry and insult people?
Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, said in a cold voice: "Mr. Ge, I thought that military parades had been suspended for decades. Mr. Li Ge had not thought of this before. It must have been caused by Jia Heng's son from the side. He congratulated Ge in the first place. The old man made his son famous all over the world because of his virtuous conduct. However, this son was ungrateful and criticized Mr. Ge because of the case of a scholar being beaten. As a result, Mr. Ge returned to his hometown. Now, with little merit, he has stolen the power of the capital camp and made a fortune for him. If the warriors keep their eyes open, if they allow this boy to continue to be rampant, I am afraid that Chao Gang will be corrupted by such a traitor."
At first, He Juncheng, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Rites, became famous for Jia Heng's "Cijue Biao". Later, he was tired of being a public servant because of Jia Heng's case for Fan Yi, so he returned to his hometown.
As for the officials in the Ministry of Rites, many of them were troubled by this, and many people had opinions on Jia Heng.
Of course, it is unknown whether the Minister Pang was close to Yang Guochang in order to take over the Ministry of Rites.
Yang Guochang said in a deep voice: "Jia Heng, this son of Gu, is a traitor and a loyal person. I heard the day before yesterday that relatives who have violated criminal laws will be sent to Dali Temple for execution."
Qi Kun frowned and said: "My subordinates also know a little bit about this matter. I heard that the young master of the Xue family, an in-law of the Jia family, caused a life-threatening lawsuit in the ancestral home of Jinling. Jia Ziyu took him to Dali Temple, and Xu It is unknown whether Jia Ziyu is upright and upright."
Regarding this matter, Jia Ziyu said that there was nothing inappropriate.
Yang Guochang shook his head and said: "Yan Xuan, why did this person become famous in Shilin in the first place? He resigned from his title, but now who is the successor of Ningguo? Who is in charge of the capital camp now? Han Feizi said, what happened? It is beneficial to rise up, and the city owner... Now that Xue family son injured someone's life, he should have sacrificed his life to uphold the laws and regulations of the country, but now Jia Heng has to face the emperor with trivial matters, and the emperor is hindered by his kindness. We can only open up one side of the net, but Jia Heng has a reputation for righteousness and killing relatives, and the Xue family is given a light sentence. Yan Xuan, don't you think it's suspicious?"
Qi Kun frowned and said, "Your Excellency, isn't it because Jia Ziyu is in charge of the capital camp because he has contributed to quelling the chaos?"
"If he were not the lord of Ning Kingdom, would the Holy Emperor let him, a young boy with a yellow mouth, take charge of the capital?" Peng Ye, the left deputy censor, sneered. He didn't know if he was disdainful of Jia Heng or Qi Kun.
When Qi Kun heard the words, he thought for a moment and said, "Master Peng's words are not unreasonable."
Yang Guochang's eyes were filled with worry and he said: "This son has achieved great success at a young age. It will be a disaster rather than a blessing for our Han Dynasty in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Kun's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "En Xiang, this... this has never happened in our dynasty since the founding of the country. I think the second Duke Ning Rong was also a young man in charge of the army. Is this what En Xiang said? Are you a little over-concerned?”
Yang Guochang shook his head and said: "Next year, Mr. Li Ge will go to the north to supervise the division. This person will probably be in charge of the capital camp. At such a young age, his temperament is unstable, but he can be bribed and won over by someone with intentions, which will endanger the country and the consequences will be unimaginable. As for Ning Rong The Second Duke has received so much favor from the Emperor that he cannot be compared to the humble concubine."
If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, people like this would never get a chance, but today's Han Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. If these people are allowed to control the military, I am afraid that reckless things will happen again in the future.
Qi Kun looked solemn and was silent for a moment.
Yang Guochang said coldly: "No matter what, this Jia Ziyu needs to be suppressed."
Yongyefang, Tangqiao Hutong
The night was dark, and the lamp in the study was as bright as a bean.
Li Zan, the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War, was holding a book in the room and reading it attentively by the light. There was already a written New Year's greeting list on the table.
For the Tanhua of Bingchen Branch during the Longzhi period, it was not difficult to write such a beautifully written and eulogizing article.
Li Zan put down the book in his hand and looked by the light. The four characters "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were clearly written on the blue title page.
"After this year, I will go to Peiping." Li Zan thought and put down the book in his hand, with a bit of sadness on his slender, cold face.
I don’t know when I will leave Beijing, but the storm in Beijing is getting more and more rough.
He raised his eyes and looked at the quiet night outside the window, feeling a little lost for a moment.
After he left, the Qi and Zhejiang parties fought separately in the court. Will it trigger a new round of party disputes in the court?
"With the power of the Holy One, it should not be difficult to calm down the party strife, suppress the situation in the court, and make Yang and Han work together."
Li Zan loosened his frown, thought this way, and sighed softly.
The night was dark, the moon was bright, and firecrackers sounded from time to time outside.
At this time, a woman entered the house, holding a lantern, and said softly: "Sir, it's late at night, it's time to rest. I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
Li Zan raised his eyes to look at his old wife, nodded and said, "I'm going to sleep now."
Turning out the lights, the study suddenly fell into darkness.
The next day, Ningrong Street,
Early that morning, at dawn, the five drums were playing, and the carriages of the Ningrong and Rong mansions were lined up on Ningrong Street. All the wives of the Ningrong and Rong mansions were wearing their royal makeup and riding in eight sedans. I met the two empresses in the palace.
Jia Heng also got on his horse, led his servants, and guarded the female family members, and headed towards the palace.
According to the Chen-Han ceremony, the Chongping Emperor would summon the fifth-ranked dignitaries and ministers in Beijing to give banquets and receive congratulations on New Year's Eve in the Xihe Hall. matters.
At this time, it was the darkest period before dawn, and the lights were on in every household in the 108 squares of Shenjing.
Not only the Jia family's carriages and horses, but also the female relatives of other officials marched towards Anshun Gate with their glowing lanterns like a long dragon.
At this moment, the Military and Horse Division, Jinyi Mansion, and Beijing Camp of the five cities in central Beijing were almost all alert, and they were conducting control on both the light and dark lines to prevent things from disturbing the officials and their families.
In a sedan chair, Qin Keqing opened the bamboo curtain with one hand, and through the bamboo curtain, with the faint light passing through, he looked up at the Shenjing City at dawn.
The girl is dressed in bright clothes, wearing a green crown on her head, with necklaces hanging down from her temples and ears. Her face is as white as snow with hibiscus stamens, and her beauty is indescribable. She looks at the rows of shop porches on both sides of the street. , the hanging lanterns passed by each other, and I was a little lost for a while.
His soft, watery eyes immediately fell on the young man wearing a python suit, riding on a horse not far ahead. A peaceful smile appeared on his cheeks, and waves of peace filled his heart.
"Grandma, I'll be entering the palace soon. I've grown so big and I haven't been to the palace yet." Baozhu in the carriage said with a chuckle.
Ruizhu also chuckled and said: "I heard from Sister Yuanyang that we are waiting outside the palace garden and are not allowed to enter Kunning Palace."
Qin Keqing listened to the two maids who had grown up together talking happily. She smiled brightly on her gorgeous jade face, but she still solemnly warned: "The rules in the palace are strict. After you enter, follow the mandarin ducks and don't go around. Running around."
"Yes, grandma." Baozhu, Ruizhu quickly responded honestly.
In the palace garden, on the white marble square in front of Kunning Palace, vermilion lanterns were hung high, illuminating the Danchi with jade-like light.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, attended by her nanny and female officials, took the little princess's hand and got out of a carriage with eight treasure hairpins and glazed windows.
In contrast to the imperial decree which prohibited carriages from driving deep into the palace grounds, the eldest princess of Jinyang, as the emperor's sister and the only daughter of Empress Dowager Feng, was specifically allowed to drive on the royal road.
"Your Royal Highness, the empress is already waiting for you in the front hall." Ruier, the personal officer beside the queen, led several maids and approached to greet her with a smile.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was dressed in a bright red dress, her temples were pulled high, and the phoenix wings on her emerald crown were shining. Her charming face, with a smile as bright as a peach blossom in February, said: "Lead the way."
As he entered the palace, he couldn't help but look back at the brightly lit palace gate, his beautiful eyes twinkling, and he secretly said: "He will bring his family to the palace today, and I don't know if he will be able to see him."
Suppressing the longing and resentment in his heart, he walked into the main hall of Kunning Palace, where the emperor held banquets.
Here, the convoys of Jia Heng and Ning Rong also entered the palace garden from Anshun Gate. The sky was already brighter. Jia Heng was separated from Qin Keqing, Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others, and sat under an internal prison guard. Under the guidance of the leader, he walked towards Xihe Hall.
Because Mrs. Gaoming gathered in Kunning Palace, outsiders were not allowed to enter without permission.
Xihe Hall, the hall is brightly lit, with brocade embroidered curtains and longing figures.
Emperor Chongping, wearing the emperor's royal crown and twelve crowns on his head, was sitting on a long table behind a long table. The maids and eunuchs who were bowing to serve him, with respectful expressions, lined up on the left and right.
Outside the eaves and pillars of the corridor outside the hall, a team of internal eunuchs and warriors held banners, and there were even more royal guards wearing Shan-shaped wingless crowns and flying fish brocade uniforms as guards of honor.
With the fifth rank and above in the capital, all civil and military officials lined up in civil and military ranks, led by Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, from the jade steps outside the palace, holding wat boards, straightening their expressions, and entered the solemn and solemn palace to pay their respects to Emperor Chongping. .
The red clouds in the east burst out, the sun suddenly jumped out, the morning glow shone on a corner of the palace, the glazed tiles reflected colored light, and the sky suddenly brightened up.
"I have seen Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Amidst the shouts of "Long Live Your Majesty," Emperor Chongping's expression became gentler than before. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet, and all the civil and military officials stood up one after another.
As in previous years, the Hanlin Academy should present a congratulatory form.
This year, at the behest of Liu Zheng, the prefect of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Li, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, still used his graceful diction and talent to represent the Hanlin Academy and recite a congratulatory form as a tribute.
Lu Li has a handsome face and a figure like a orchid orchid tree. He holds a congratulatory watch in his hand and recites.
A clear voice sounded.
A congratulatory note, written in parallel prose and with gorgeous words, sounded like the sound of broken jade in the main hall.
Lu Li bowed and said, "I congratulate you."
Emperor Chongping also had a smile on his face and said, "Scholar Lu is flat."
Lu Li often went to the palace to give banquets, and he was outstanding in talent and learning. He was the number one scholar at that time.
However, Lu Li did not return to class. Instead, he put on a make-up, put on his face, bowed his hands and bowed again, and said loudly: "I am a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Li, and I will give you a memorial before my death."
When some ministers in the palace heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
It’s the New Year’s Day, and I don’t know what to do? What was Lu Li doing? Was he trying to offend Yan Zhijian?
But isn’t it today to congratulate the Emperor?
Lu Li faced a crowd of surprised and uncertain eyes, but turned a blind eye. He was even a little excited. Today was the beginning of his name in history and his reputation for generations to come.
Lu Li straightened his face and calmed down his expression, and said in a deep voice: "I was shocked to hear that Your Majesty, following the words of University Student Li, held a military parade outside the Anshun Gate on the first day of the dynasty. I secretly thought that the military parade would waste people and money, and disturb both China and foreign countries. This is really unacceptable. .”
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping's face darkened and he looked at Lu Li aggressively.
Did Lu Li think it was impossible, or was he instigated by someone behind his back? Moreover, he used the opportunity to offer his advice today, which... simply had ulterior motives.
He even wondered if he had lost control of the government!
The ministers were in an uproar. Han Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Li Zan frowned and stared at Lu Li with narrowed eyes.
Lu Li's face was firm, and his clear voice was resounding, and he said: "Soldiers are also weapons, and saints have to use them as a last resort. At the beginning of the new year, the auspiciousness is harmonious, and the saint will parade the troops on the first day of the year to kill the bloody hunters in Shenjing. Swords and weapons are dangerous. It is disrespectful to Haotian to scold the crowd."
As soon as these words came out, some officials who didn't know what the situation was like were instantly in an uproar. "It's disrespectful to Haotian. Do you dare to make more big words?"
Han Huang's expression turned serious and he shouted: "Lu Shidu, what are you talking about?"
There is only one thought in my heart, this is a premeditated, organized and planned political disturbance...
Xu Kaidao, a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, said: "Your Majesty, I think what Academician Lu said is true. When the sage is alive, he will cultivate the people with virtues and will not indiscriminately use military punishment to kill the power. Your Majesty, I think that on the same day, all the people will have a military parade." The matter of promoting martial arts must be done sincerely!"
At this time, the Imperial Academy offered wine and also came out to play the sermon and said: "The holy king in the court promotes benevolence and righteousness but does not use swords and weapons. I, Peng Ye, think that it is inappropriate to parade troops and show off force."
"I second the proposal." Peng Ye, the deputy governor on the left, went out to play. Although there were only three words, they were of great importance.
At this moment, a thunder sounded in Xihe Hall.
This is a clear attitude!
And the four princes and eight princes were all frightened when they accepted the martial arts honors. Why did such a good person start a fight?
The presence of the old god and king of Nan'an County seemed to turn a deaf ear to the storm in the palace.
Jia Heng is also among the martial arts heroes at this moment, his eyes are uncertain.
Emperor Chongping didn't say a word, because it was New Year's Eve, so he obviously didn't want to and couldn't get angry.
At that time, Li Zan went out to the class and said: "This is the old system of Taizu and Taizong. It is inherited from the far belt and the saints imitate it. Why do you say it to impact the auspiciousness? Why do you say it disrespects Haotian? Why do you say it to scare the crowd? Scholar Lu, you People who have read poetry and books and have a deep understanding of principles, don’t they hear that they should respect the ancestors of heaven and be careful to pursue the future? The major events of the Kuang country are only to be sacrificed to the Rong, to offer sacrifices to heaven, and to conduct military parades. This is the canon of our great Han Dynasty!"
Because it was Li Zan who made the suggestion, Lu Li's attack was directed at Li Zan.
However, at this time, Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I believe that when the world changes, things will change, and when things change, we will be prepared for changes. Now that I, the great sage king of the Han Dynasty, am in the court, I will educate all the people with etiquette, and my virtue will be passed down to the people. , Taizong is still here, so there is no need to threaten the sea with swords."
Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, was the first important official of the Six Ministries. However, he clearly stated that he should stick to the old ways, but he adopted a reformist tone, which seemed a bit strange.
Emperor Chongping's brows twitched. If he hadn't known what the big man was like now, he would have really believed these deceptive words.
Following the advice of Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, some of the ministers who were watching could not restrain themselves and began to report. Some gave tactful advice, and some echoed the opinions of their predecessors.
At this moment, Han Huang, the second assistant to the cabinet, remained silent and watched the scene coldly.
Without him, the Zhejiang Party had to consider the rumors about scholars.
Therefore, for a time, Li Zan was the only one left to argue in the Xihe Hall, and he seemed somewhat alone.
Yang Guochang looked at this scene with a calm expression, but a sneer sounded in his heart.
This is the human heart!
The Chu party was unpopular with the military parade and military parade, and disrupted the order of civil and military affairs. Even the Chu party's military headquarters gathered together and no one came out to support them.
As for the Zhejiang Party, there are even more echoes.
This is the general trend, the great trend!
He just wants to drag the matter to the court for discussion. The Holy Emperor will definitely not argue about this issue in the temple, so the military parade will be shelved.
There were no smile lines on Emperor Chongping's stern face. He glanced at the ministers below and said, "What else do you have to say? Let's talk about it together."
He originally thought that he could borrow the law established by his ancestors and discuss it among the people. Unexpectedly, the silence of the court for several days turned out to be a violent public outcry!
It’s really just a matter of silence and a blockbuster!
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers below felt a chill in their hearts, and they could keenly detect the anger in the emperor's tone.
In a depressing and strange atmosphere, Yang Guochang knew that it was time for him to appear. Trembling, he left the courtroom and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think the words of the officials are not unreasonable. The New Year is the first day of the year, and it is auspicious." Jihe, it is not appropriate to dance with Qianqi to promote military affairs. As for what Li Ge said, it is for the military affairs of our great Han Dynasty, and it is also a sincere and honest word."
Emperor Chongping said: "Oh?"
He cast a pair of scrutinizing and suspicious eyes on Yang Guochang.
Yang Guochang continued: "Your Majesty, the military parade should not be held on Zhengdan. If Your Majesty wants to practice martial arts, it can be performed in the Beijing camp. The campus in the Beijing camp is vast and there are soldiers and horses galloping around. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
There is no point in simply irritating the emperor. The emperor needs to be given an alternative, which is both a step and a way to ease the tense atmosphere in the Xihe Palace.
Correct
In fact, what Yang Guochang and civilian officials opposed was not the military parade, but the political significance behind it.
Civilian politics are being shaken by using culture to suppress force.
Originally, Emperor Chongping thought that using the name of his ancestors to carry out this matter would not go wrong, but it was obviously not the case. Civil officials were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to speak out after the cabinet reached an agreement.
At this moment, if someone pierces this layer of window paper, many people will spontaneously move closer.
This is the reason why the Zhejiang Party is silent, even those within the Chu Party are silently responding.
As for the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, I was originally happy to see it happen because it was a good thing!
But now the situation in the DPRK is so turbulent. Who knows if these civil servants are luring snakes out of their holes and scheming against them. They dare not agree and it is difficult to refute.
