An emperor's favorite died so silently. This matter was really big enough. There was such a big commotion in Chang'an City, and the powerful people had received the news sooner or later.
Those who were originally preparing to impeach Deng Tong immediately realized that something was wrong, but they soon realized that it seemed that the emperor had taken action.
If you want to hang out in the imperial court, you have to know how to advance and retreat. Since the emperor has already taken action, which means that the emperor has taken the initiative to give in, then naturally those of them who are subordinates must also understand the emperor's intentions.
Everyone in Dengtong is already dead, so there is no need to throw any more dirty water on him, and this matter should end here.
Whether they want it or not, things are already like this, and they can only passively accept it.
However, in everyone's eyes, the next day's court meeting suddenly became quite boring. All the memorials originally prepared by all parties could only be taken back.
The emperor's favorite was burned to death in a fire in Chang'an City. If such a big thing happened, someone had to take responsibility, right?
Feng Jing, the imperial censor, directly pointed the finger at Zhijinwu Wang Huanzhi. In any case, this was in Chang'an City. As long as something happened, Chang'an County Magistrate Wang Shi and Zhijinwu Wang Huanzhi would not be able to escape.
Feng Jing fired as usual, but this time for some unknown reason, the emperor was furious.
A series of accusations directly confused Feng Jingqian. As a censor, it was his job to check the conduct of the court. However, this time, the emperor did not support his claims and even accused him. Openly attacking colleagues in court.
Shen Tujia watched the emperor speak. Although he was also confused as to what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, it was really a miracle to be able to kick Feng Jing, a guy who kept causing trouble for him, out of Chang'an City. It was a pleasing thing, so he immediately started to join the battle.
As expected of the Prime Minister, he insisted on telling the truth about the emperor's unreasonable troubles. In the end, Feng Jing, the censor doctor, was actually beaten to the end.
The court fell into a long silence. At this moment, the emperor suddenly looked at Liu Deng with deep meaning.
Liu Deng suddenly felt blessed. The emperor was trying to accomplice himself in disguise!
Isn’t this kind of political expert what he lacks now?
"Your Majesty, Lord Feng is certainly at fault, but his talent cannot be ignored. Now that the court is employing people, can you ask your Majesty to show mercy and let Lord Feng be appointed as the governor of Yanmen?"
After this great victory, Liu Deng had a deeper understanding of the topography of Yanmen and Yunzhong, and he deeply realized the importance of Yanmen and Yunzhong.
For Dai State, these two passes are really critical places. If they want to achieve long-term peace and stability, the defense forces of these two places must be greatly strengthened. However, if you want to strengthen the defense forces, you need a capable official, but in his hands There are no talents in this field, but isn't Feng Jing the best candidate in this field?
"Forget it, since you asked for mercy, let's leave this matter as it is. Does the Prime Minister have any opinions?"
Only then did Shen Tujia realize that after talking to the emperor for a long time, Feng Jing's place had already been prepared!
I was so excited for a long time!
But in the final analysis, I am not at a disadvantage. In any case, the position of doctor censor is vacant. It seems that I have no chance to compete for it today. However, after passing this hurdle, I have many opportunities to arrange my own manpower!
It is a very important position to inspect the conduct of all officials and even have the power to impeach the prime minister for his gains and losses.
If it were one of his own, Shen Tujia would have a very comfortable life in the next few years of his ruling life.
"I have no objection. Since His Highness the King has already spoken, let's leave it as it is! However, I have another suggestion, so I'll just say it as well!"
This was really an opportunity. Shen Tujia took a deep look at Liu Deng. Since he wanted to repair his relationship with Liu Deng, he might as well give him another big gift.
"Oh? What does the Prime Minister propose?"
Emperor Liu Heng's spirit seems not to be very good today. Sitting on the throne, he is actually a little sleepy now.
"Your Majesty, Shen Shiqi, the governor of Beidi County, filed a petition for retirement three months ago. He is now too old and unable to take up the post. Therefore, Beidi County currently lacks a governor. I think Zhou Yafu, the son of Jianghou, is qualified. I don't know what your majesty thinks. how?"
As soon as Shen Tujia said these words, all the old foxes in the court looked at him with curiosity.
Why did the wind direction suddenly change in the court today?
Didn't this old guy Shen Tujia always have trouble with Liu Deng?
The city of Chang'an is so big, and Liu Deng is a man of great influence. Some time ago, Liu Deng personally went to the Zhou family ancestral hall to help Zhou Yafu. The nobles in Chang'an city have spread the news, and Zhou Yafu has been cherished by everyone. On Liu Deng's label.
But Shen Tujia actually sent this guy to Beidi County as the prefect today. Let's not talk about whether his qualifications are sufficient or not. Just talking about the motivation for this matter is very interesting.
"Zhou Yafu? Beidi County is not an ordinary place. The governor of Beidi County needs to be both civil and military. Can he do it?"
When he said the last sentence, Liu Heng's voice suddenly became hoarse.
When mentioning Zhou Yafu, the emperor suddenly thought of Zhou Bo. Back then, he was just a small acting king.
Among all the princes and kings, he has the smallest power and seems to be the least likely to inherit the great treasure. At that time, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping fought against all opinions and finally promoted him to the position of emperor.
Zhou Bo and Chen Ping used all their abilities to finally help him secure his position as emperor. However, shortly after Zhou Bo's death, his eldest son misbehaved and committed murder in Chang'an City. , and in the end, even the position of the Marquis was lost.
Zhou Bo had been very kind to him, and now he suddenly heard Shen Tujia mentioning his old friend's son, Liu Heng couldn't help but think of the past, and by the way, he also thought of Zhou Bo's kindness.
"Reporting to your majesty, although Zhou Yafu is not well-known, there is absolutely no problem with his literary and martial arts. What's more, there are many officials who can help him. I think there won't be any big problems. Zhou Taiwei's family background will definitely not be compromised. of!"
Now that Shen Tujia has become a guarantor, the emperor is of course willing to be a smooth favor. No matter what, Zhou Bo is his great benefactor, and he cannot let his old friend die like this. The emperor has also heard about the tragic situation of the Zhou family, now. Since one of the Zhou family's children can stand up, he is also willing to give him a chance!
