After a moment of silence, Tu Jie said: "This opportunity is fleeting and may not come again in the future. You cannot rebel, but you can muddy the water. Do you think so, brothers?"
The rest of them looked at each other and nodded silently. They didn't have the courage to rebel, but they still had the courage to play tricks in secret. Today's monarchy is too powerful, and these civil servants are simply inferior to pigs and dogs. Naturally, they have resentment towards the emperor. .
"At least let the Holy One turn his attention elsewhere, otherwise we will be forced to a dead end sooner or later."
And at this point, it is indeed inappropriate to do nothing. The emperor wants to take all the power in the world to himself, so where will he put these officials?
Civil servants help the king to govern the world. What does it mean to help? It is not about being submissive and obeying orders, but about correcting, supporting and guiding the king to the right path. Now it seems that the Holy Emperor is blindly suppressing the ministers and taking authority into one body, but he has forgotten that not every king has this ability to control.
Hu Weiyong felt a little relieved when he saw everyone's attitude. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, these people who can come under his command are naturally ambitious people and they are all dissatisfied with the current situation of the government.
It is a well-known fact that the Holy Emperor treats scholars harshly. It was fine a few years ago when the country was first founded, but now it is getting worse. Everyone is afraid that the butcher's knife will hit their head next time.
Chen Liang, the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu, said: "You need to be cautious and repeat, otherwise everything will stop once the Holy One notices it."
The hall fell into silence again. There were only so many people in the hall now, and there were also General Secretary Chen Youzong and others watching. It was difficult to do anything. Besides, no matter how big the noise in the hall was, it would only be caused by more people. Being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
It may give His Highness the Crown Prince a headache, but it is not worth mentioning to the Holy Masters on the Northern Patrol, and it will not delay their schedule. These people soon unanimously put their minds on the Beijing camp.
Xu Shuai went south, but Chang Shuai did not return, and the other princes were also guarding outside. The Marquis, the confidants of the East Palace, also received errands and scattered around the state capital. The Holy Emperor's northern patrol also took away some of the most elite generals and soldiers...
Of course, it seems that the Beijing Camp is weak, but in fact, the Beijing Camp has not moved at all. There are more than 200,000 combat elites. As long as they are dispatched by the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, they can exert their corresponding combat power. No one can shake the capital. of Anwei.
But it is a fact that they are leaderless. The prince naturally has the prestige to rule the capital camp. After all, he is the general who defeated Feng Lang Juxu in the Northern Expedition. However, the prince still has to take care of the court situation and cannot go to the capital camp for no reason. .
There is a gap. Zhongshu Sheng and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion have dispatch cards. Without Wu Xun above the rank of Duke in charge, the current generals in the Beijing camp will never dare to rashly disobey military orders.
Chen Ning looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "I remember that on the day of the Prime Minister's birthday, many generals from the capital camp came to congratulate him on his birthday."
Before Hu Weiyong could speak, Chen Liang, the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu, answered: "No, these matters must not be implicated in the slightest bit by the Prime Minister. The Holy One will not be reasonable when he is angry."
Tu Jie whispered: "Obviously, the people who came to congratulate me on my birthday are just casual acquaintances. How dare they do such a thing."
Several people silently turned their attention to Hu Weiyong. They did not believe that Hu Weiyong did not secretly support a few military-honored generals in the Beijing camp. There may not be such generals as princes, but there must be those who protect the army, such as captains of light chariots and captains of cavalry.
After all, he has been the prime minister who has controlled the Ministry of War for several years. How could he not support a few of them if he wanted to? On weekdays, there are princes and princes in charge of the capital camp, so these people are of little use, but they will be useful at this time.
Some people who were worried couldn't help but say: "How far do we have to go, but don't make it get out of hand."
Tu Jie said in a deep voice: "Of course, there is a sense of propriety. If you really want to rebel, no one will agree. As long as it involves the capital camp and His Highness the Crown Prince, even if nothing happens, the Holy Emperor will definitely return. The martial artists in the capital camp will definitely return." Everyone will be suspected, and then we can just sit back and watch."
"That's right, the warriors have seen my joke of waiting for so long. It's time for them to feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Holy One. And if we really want to deal with the warriors, the Holy One will have to rely on the power of civil servants like me."
………………
"Sir, Li Liangdi has sent five-spice cake crystal horns and ice and snow Leng Yuanzi. Do you want to see them?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and scolded: "What kind of place is this? How can I meet my concubine privately and let her go back?"
Liu Jin simply agreed and left. It seemed that he had expected it. He carefully opened the door and smiled at Li Yan who looked concerned: "I asked you to go back first. All the people coming and going in Jinshen Palace are foreign ministers. Really?" It’s hard to keep you here.”
Li Yan is a bit arrogant, but she is also Li Shanchang's daughter. How could she not think that her man definitely didn't say that.
"I know I shouldn't be here. It's reasonable for His Highness not to see me. But I heard that His Highness only had some breakfast this day. How can he hold up like this? Liu Jin, please be there to give me some advice." , these pastries are all made by me, please stay and find an opportunity to offer them to His Highness."
Li Yan was giving instructions to Liu Jin, but her eyes were firmly glued to the door of Jinshen Palace, as if she could see the figure inside through the thick door.
Liu Jin took the food box and persuaded softly: "I understand, Liangdi, please don't worry. It's windy at this time, so you can go back first."
Although he was reprimanded because of Li Yan's request, Liu Jin was still very respectful to Li Yan. It was not because of her noble birth. For an eunuch like him, the high status of the foreign minister had nothing to do with him. It was just because he felt the same way. His Highness did not eat. He was also very distressed.
Li Yan didn't say anything, and after taking another deep look, she turned around and left. Liu Jin bent down and waited for her to go away before gently pushing the door open and entering, for fear of making any noise and disrupting His Highness's thoughts.
The little eunuch serving in the palace slowly came up to take the food box. Liu Jin asked softly: "Has the tea been changed?"
"Go back to my father-in-law's words and change them."
Since Liu Jin came back, he has not allowed these young ladies to supervise him and call him godfather and godye. If he has something to do, he can just call his father-in-law. If he wants, he can also call him by his real name Liu Jin.
The little eunuch asked in a low voice: "Do you want the slaves to try the snacks sent by Li Liangdi first?"
Liu Jin frowned slightly: "Why don't you try! Do you need to ask this kind of thing again? Remember, His Highness's safety is more important than anything else!"
"promise."
After the eunuchs who tested the poison tasted the snacks one by one, Liu Jin waited for a while before carrying the snacks on the plate and walking out. He gently placed them next to Zhu Biao who was at the desk reviewing the memorial, and then bowed without stepping back. He bent over and waited.
After Zhu Biao finished reviewing the copy in his hand, he raised his head and said, "Didn't you see how busy I am? If you have the time to wait, you might as well go grind and serve."
"Master, eat it first, and I will grind it now, without delay."
Zhu Biao put down his pen, clapped his hands, picked up a piece of steaming five-spice cake and took a bite. Liu Jin smiled happily and straightened up her waist while studying ink: "This slave can also make this five-spice cake, but it's not as good as Li Liangdi's. Full of flavor.”
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "You still have this ability, tell me how you do it?"
Liu Jin replied: "Take 28% of white glutinous rice and japonica rice, 1% of dried gordon, and 1% of ginseng, atractylodes, poria, and amomum villosum. Grind very finely and sift, add white sugar to the soup, mix well, and steam in a steamer. ."
"These five ingredients, including Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Gorgon fruit, ginseng, and amomum villosum, all have the effect of strengthening the spleen, tonifying the stomach and replenishing qi. I should use more of them."
Zhu Biao tastes a bit like Zhiba, and the taste is not bad, but it is a little sweet, maybe because of the heat. I wonder if it will taste better when it is cooled down.
"What are the princes and princesses doing?"
Liu Jin suppressed his smile and replied: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, went to the Royal Horse Guards to ride horses, ride and shoot. All the work in the fields was handed over to the eunuchs who were close to him. His Highness the Fifth Prince should still be in the Taiyuan Hospital at this time. The eldest princess and the little princess Your Highnesses are all with the Crown Princess, and the other Highnesses are going to school as normal."
The Fifth Highness is naturally Zhu Rui. Although it is already known to everyone that he will be granted the title of King of Wu, the title has not yet been officially conferred, so he is still the Fifth Highness. There is only one eldest princess. As for the younger princesses, there are quite a few in the palace, but Liu Jin Naturally, the only person in his mouth was Zhu Biao's sister Zhu Lu. "
