Everyone here is over fifty years old. They were in their prime more than ten years ago, and they have already been officials in the court. Naturally, they know the gossip here.
The ridiculous scandals of the Tian family are secrets to outsiders, but they are nothing to them. In fact, they are also quietly circulated among the people in Beijing, but they are just a little distorted and exaggerated.
"Okay, there is no need to say these words." Ye Xianggao interrupted the dispute between the two, "Back to the topic, it is not certain how deeply King Shou himself is involved in it, and there is no other evidence to point to it, so if we want to use this It’s a bit far-fetched to convict King Shou of the crime of treason, but he can’t do it as Zuo Jianguo. What do you think?”
Everyone nodded.
This is too suspicious, and it is also because Prince Shou is the eldest son of the emperor. If he is to be convicted and deprived of the prince's position on this basis, it will not only damage the image of the Tian family, but will inevitably cause an uproar. However, it is unreasonable to let him step down as the supervisor of the country in the name of rotation. It makes sense. If he wanted to be dissatisfied, if he raised this matter a little more, he would probably understand.
"Since it is decided that King Shou will step down and King Nalu will succeed the left supervisor, who will take over the right supervisor?" Ye Xianggao asked again.
Although it was just a display and no one here took it to heart, for several princes, it was an opportunity where every inch of land must be fought for.
In any case, with more qualifications to supervise the country, when the throne is still undecided, there are more opportunities. Who can say that he is not qualified to succeed the position of Dabao? Just like Emperor Yonglong, who would have thought that he could become Dabao before? position?
No one said anything. Who will take over? There are three candidates: King Fu, King Li, and King Gong.
"Jin Qing, given the current situation, is it necessary to set up another Right Supervisor?" Qi Yongtai frowned and said: "For the position of Supervisor, this palace has become a mess, and various criticisms and accusations have emerged one after another. These are just rumors, and this is going to promote Youjianguo again, isn’t it going to cause another turmoil between Prince Fu, Prince Li, and Prince Gong?”
Qi Yongtai's words also made several other people feel the same. They didn't care, but it didn't mean that these princes and the concubines behind them wouldn't care. When they heard that there would be a new round of supervising the country, there would definitely be trouble again, no matter what Whether Prince Fu or Prince Gong succeeds Youjianguo, there will definitely be a lot of open and covert attacks.
"Chengfeng, do you mean not to set up the right prison country? Only keep the left prison country?" Ye Xianggao asked hesitantly: "Is it appropriate?"
"Don't say no, let's put it aside for a moment and let's just look at their performance. This King Shou was doing well before he became the Zuo Jianguo. Why did he become so rampant after becoming the Zuo Jianguo, and even led this King Lu to become the right eunuch? It’s almost the same in the country. Isn’t it true that Concubine Long is also a bit domineering now? How is it appropriate to use various connections to win over the Third Family Army? Isn’t it necessary to use the Third Family Army to support King Lu to directly ascend the throne? "
Qi Yongtai's rude words made everyone present feel sad. When the emperor could not take matters into his own hands, it was up to the princes in the court to decide who would succeed. How could it be the turn of these princes to take their own way?
They even had to bring in the Third Family Army. Could it be said that the enthronement of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty still depended on the Third Family Army?
A group of warriors guarding the palace gate can still determine the succession of the great unification, so what do you need this group of people here to do? "What Brother Chengfeng said is true, the position of supervising the country was just to ensure the stability of the court. , now that the situation has stabilized, in fact, even the position of supervising the country can no longer be established." Gao Panlong was the first to support.
Several others also agreed.
Ye Xianggao hesitated and glanced at Fang Congzhe, "Zhonghan, what do you mean?"
Fang Congzhe was also a little undecided, and hesitated before saying: "There is nothing to say that King Shou should no longer be the supervisor of the country, but it seems a bit too radical to remove King Lu from the supervision of the country, right? Although Concubine Long was indeed a little forgetful. , but King Lu did quite well in Qingtan Academy and had a good reputation. To abolish both prisons so suddenly and suddenly would be a bit indiscriminate. In addition, will the government and the public think that we have established prisons? A few days later, the country canceled all of them at once. Is it a bit too hasty?"
Fang Congzhe's point of view is also representative to a certain extent. The supervision of the country is not to be set up and withdrawn at a moment's notice. King Shou can also let him temporarily come down in the name of rotation because he is suspected of treason and needs to be investigated, but King Lu, who has a good reputation, can Get it too
Come, or even not set up a supervisory state at all, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of many people.
"What Prime Minister Fang said is reasonable. The Emperor is still awake. If we do this, we will inevitably be rumored by some people to say that we are too domineering and ignore the Tian family." Gu Bingqian rarely spoke, but this time he also made his attitude clear.
Gu Bingqian is an imperialist, and Zhang Jingqiu is also an imperialist in the eyes of everyone. As soon as Gu Bingqian opened his mouth, other people looked at Zhang Jingqiu's face. Zhang Jingqiu was a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "What Brother Yi'an said is reasonable. We need to consider how the government and the opposition treat us. view, lest we be accused of bullying women.”
Ye Xianggao glanced at the others, including Huang Ruliang, Cui Jingrong, Guan Yingzhen and others who were originally indispensable, but they were also a little moved. Anyway, leaving a King Lu to supervise the country would not have much impact, so as not to act too much. Big, attracts criticism.
"If that's the case, then let King Lu serve as the left prisoner. I don't want to abolish the right prisoner. I just want to wait until the next step to consider it..." Ye Xianggao thought for a moment before saying.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
It’s not about canceling or not setting it up, it’s just about considering it, delaying it, slowing it down, and then make a decision based on the situation.
"It's just that the palace will need all kinds of lobbying..." Qi Yongtai felt a headache just thinking about it.
"Humph, this is inevitable. Everyone will agree on the same thing and say that we will wait until the situation in Shandong and Jiangnan is calmed down before making a decision." Ye Xianggao made the final decision.
Guo Qinjun has always sent people to guard not far from Wenyuan Pavilion, which enabled her to get the news as soon as possible.
When King Shou was dismissed from his post as Zuo Jianguo, she was greatly disappointed by the news that came back soon. The cabinet actually decided to temporarily not determine the new Right Jianguo after King Lu took over as Zuo Jianguo. What did this mean?
Like a furious lioness, Guo Qinjun clenched her pink fists and her pretty face turned red as she paced back and forth in the hall.
Zhou Peisheng and Zhou Dehai's uncle and nephew hadn't arrived yet. For a while, she couldn't find the right person to talk to. All the anger and grievances were held in her heart, making her unable to control herself.
"Aren't Zhou Peisheng and the others here yet?" Unable to bear it any longer, Guo Qinjun walked to the door and shouted sternly: "Where have they gone?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has gone to Renshou Palace, and Mr. Zhou has left the palace." The maid guarding the door replied timidly, too frightened to raise her head.
Guo Qinjun glared at the maid, looking displeased from side to side. Just as he was looking for a reason to drag this bitch out for a whipping, he heard Zhou Peisheng's voice rang over there: "Why are you so anxious to find this old slave?" ?”
"I was looking for you, come in quickly, I have something important to tell you." Not wanting to cause any more trouble for the maid, Guo Qinjun couldn't wait to signal to Zhou Peisheng, and hurried inside herself.
Seeing Guo Qinjun so irritable and anxious, Zhou Peisheng was also very surprised. He had already warned him not to mess up at any time. Concubine Tsuen had been performing well during this period, so why did she show her true colors again today?
"Why is your Majesty like this?" Zhou Peisheng walked with Guo Qinjun into the middle hall and then asked in a dark voice.
"Zhang Chi has been removed from the Zuo Jianguo. It is said that it is related to the assassination of Emperor Tienwangshan who was investigated by Long Jinwei. However, no other measures were taken against Zhang Chi, not even a house arrest. Zhang succeeded the Zuo Jianguo, and the Right Jianguo became vacant. Yes, but the cabinet is said to be unsure about the new right supervisor country for the time being, and will wait until Jiangnan is settled before considering it."
Guo Qinjun's silver teeth almost shattered, "If there is no longer a Youjian Kingdom, wouldn't Zhang So become the prince and firmly sit on the throne in the future? Peisheng, this must not be like this, Ge'er We must take over as the Right Supervisor!"
Zhou Peisheng also changed slightly when he heard that King Lu was appointed as the governor of the left country instead of the right governor. This was too unfavorable. The princes who had never served as the governor of the country almost quit the competition, and King Shou was dismissed, and even more If there is no way to compete, Mei Yuexi will definitely try her best to keep Zhang Liang's position as the Left Supervisor, and then try to prevent the establishment of the Right Supervisor in the future.
"Why doesn't the imperial court set up a Youjian State? What's the reason?" Zhou Peisheng also couldn't understand. Didn't they originally agree to take turns to train? When King Shou comes down, it will be King Fu's turn to compete with King Li and King Gong.
"It's not clear yet. It was agreed upon at the Xiaochao meeting, but it was also said that it was only temporarily uncertain who would take over as the right supervisor. It did not say that there would not be a right supervisor." Guo Qinyun tried to calm down his emotions, "As long as there is no right supervisor.
If you say no, then there is still a chance, and it may not be a bad thing. If you really want to confirm it immediately, you are too young, and you have not been studying in the academy for a short time. Your reputation has not yet risen, so you may not be better than Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, and Su Ling. Yao is not an easy person to deal with, and she will definitely try her best to push her son to the top..."
Zhou Peisheng also calmed down, "Your Majesty is right, but this cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long, the court may feel that it is no longer necessary to establish the Youjian State, so this time point must be stuck, and we still have to go I need to inquire about it to understand the attitude and thoughts of the imperial court, so that I can have a clear target."
"Of course I know this, but even if we have to set it up, how can we ensure that Pan'er's ability is superior to Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji?" Guo Qinjun raised her eyebrows again, "Feng Ziying agreed to me at the beginning, so he can get away with it now? It's a beautiful idea. !”
Zhou Peisheng couldn't laugh or cry, and thought for a moment: "I heard that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan had already fought a good battle when he first entered Shaanxi, established a firm foothold in northern Shaanxi, and the court was also paying close attention to it. Now he probably doesn't have the heart to care about these things. "
