"After she survived, she found that everyone loved her. At this time, the person who killed her suddenly woke up. The emperor knew that everything my sister did was for my own good. The people knew that the eldest princess turned out to be You. A wise woman who cares about her country and her people, the courtiers knew the eldest princess’s various difficulties, and the prime minister realized that he had underestimated her in the past, and then his heart moved secretly..."
"What, who do you think the villain is? Of course they are the prime minister's confidants!"
“Although the prime minister has accomplished nothing and led the people downhill when he was in power, even though the prime minister’s team is like a sieve and all kinds of garbage can get in, even though there is no decent person under the prime minister, all of them are His mother is a traitor, but everyone in the world knows that Prime Minister, he is a glorious gentleman!"
The rest: "..."
Ah this.
Accurate control belongs to .
In today's court meeting, Ying Zheng has said enough, and what needs to be shown has been shown. Princess Changhua is the royal princess, and she is barely qualified to let him speak in person. As for the rest, , let’s leave it to others to comment.
What, who is this other person?
Of course, the job of swearing should be left to people who are good at swearing!
…
Half an hour ago.
Zheng Zhen took two imperial doctors to the prison and was ordered to pick up Jiang Maoyan and leave.
It has been several months since the late emperor's departure, and Jiang Maoyan has obviously aged.
The failure of political ideals midway, the sudden death of the daring emperor, and even the misfortune inflicted on oneself by fate...
With the three forces overlapping together, he has not been defeated so far, which is already quite rare.
What Zheng saw was a slender-looking Jiang Maoyan with gray hair on his temples. The robe he had brought hastily when he was imprisoned was worn on his body, making him look baggy and weak.
Seeing the condition of the prime minister who led the Zhou Dynasty to the top with the late emperor, as a person whose destiny was changed under the influence of the reform, how could he not sigh and sigh for it, and how could he not express his sincerity? I am glad in my heart that the young emperor has sharp ears and eyes, and is full of energy!
Jiang Maoyan quickly told Jiang Maoyan about the incident in the court, and asked him to take a bath and change clothes before entering the court. He was about to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse, but he refused.
"There's nothing serious about me, but Yikang, I've been coughing at night lately..."
Jiang Maoyan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said worriedly: "Let's go see him first."
When the late emperor fainted that day, Empress Xiaozhao suddenly launched an attack. It is true that some people acted according to the prevailing situation, but after all, Jiang Maoyan had been the prime minister for decades, so naturally there would be confidants who would continue to speak out, and the one with the strongest doubts was Tang Yikang. .
This man had a great reputation. When he was young, he dared to ridicule the late emperor to his face. When he got older, he was still a young man. He was not intimidated by the power of Empress Xiaozhao at that time. He openly Above the Court refute Jiang Maoyan's idea of nefarious intentions.
Then because he scolded him too harshly, he and Jiang Maoyan were thrown into jail, along with twenty boards.
Tang Yikang, who is also in his early 50s, fell into a coma due to high fever after being tortured.
After all, he was a veteran of the late Emperor's time. After all, Empress Xiaozhao could not just sit back and watch him die of illness on the grounds that he had made a mistake in admonishing him. In the end, she sent the imperial doctor to see him. She took medicine for more than a month and recovered well, which was considered a rescue. came back.
Of course, don't even think about getting out of prison, just stay here honestly!
Jiang Maoyan was naturally grateful that Tang Yikang had ended up in this situation.
And in the past few months, if he hadn't been here to accompany her, Jiang Maoyan thought, she might not have been able to survive until now. Now when she saw the imperial doctor, the first thing that came to her mind was of course him.
At this time, hearing Jiang Maoyan say this, Tang Yikang smiled and said: "Since we are already in peace, why do we have to act like a child? I am very well, and there is nothing serious."
He solemnly said hurriedly: "Your Majesty also invites you to act in the court."
Tang Yikang sighed and looked sad: "I am old, and now I am in the age of young people."
After this ordeal, he was a little disheartened - it was not that he regretted speaking up for Jiang Maoyan that day, but he just couldn't bear to watch this person embark on the road to prosperity in the hands of their generation. The country is gradually declining.
Jiang Maoyan is indeed rare, but for the world and courtiers, a monarch as drastic and decisive as the late emperor is a rare sight in a hundred years!
Tang Yikang sighed, feeling sad.
He lay on the collapse and said in a feeble tone: "After this, I want to pay homage to the late emperor first. Speaking of which, after the late emperor's great success, as a minister, I didn't even go to cry and pay homage to him. …”
Jiang Maoyan suddenly heard about this and was confused for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he burst into tears and couldn't control himself.
He said solemnly and hesitantly: "But His Majesty said that there are some things that cannot be done without you..."
Tang Yikang shook his head and laughed: "There are many talented people in the government. Is there anything I can do that others can't do?"
He gave a serious "Uh" and then said: "Your Majesty has checked the memorials and files after the late emperor's great campaign, and is deeply aware that there have been many deficiencies since the eldest prince took charge of the government, and on that day, Empress Xiaozhao appointed the eldest prince. It also needs to be considered whether this move is in line with the national system."
"As for the posthumous name of Empress Xiaozhao, and even the handling of the puppet prime minister Bai Yanqing - everything must be cut quickly and completed before the posthumous title of the late emperor is finalized. Do not leave it to other countries or even to future generations. There are too many people and opportunities for conspiracy and speculation are good.”
He sighed softly, with a sad look on his face: "But Queen Xiaozhao is, after all, the late emperor's wife and your majesty's aunt, and the eldest princess is your majesty's eldest sister. There are some things that your majesty really can't say. Isn’t this a problem?”
Um?
After Tang Yikang heard this, his waist no longer hurt and his legs were no longer sore. At that moment, a carp jumped up from the bed and said with great energy: "Help me up!"
Jiang Maoyan: "..."
Seeing this, Jiang Maoyan lost all his original sadness. After heaving a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but laugh, and thought a little bitterly:
What kind of person is this young emperor?
Will there be traces of the late emperor in him?
…
Ying Zheng sat high on the throne and managed the government affairs after the death of the late emperor in an orderly manner. Officials in the DPRK were promoted or demoted, and they were all justified and not deviated from the laws of the country.
Halfway through the process, someone came to report it, saying that they had invited Mr. Tang to come.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and asked in surprise: "Where is Prime Minister Jiang? Why haven't you come here?"
The attendant whispered: "Xiang Jiang said that today's affairs are enough for Shizhong Tang, and there is no need for him to come forward again. Please forgive me. After you are released from prison, you will go to the late emperor's mausoleum to worship."
Ying Zheng listened in silence, and after a few moments he nodded gently: "I understand."
He went to welcome Tang Yikang in person.
"As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister. Only when the country is in crisis and turmoil can the character of a loyal minister be revealed. Mr. Tang, please accept my courtesy!"
Tang Yikang hurriedly returned the gift, said a few words of humility, and then got straight to the point: "Now that His Majesty has been restored to his position, how should the history books be written carefully after the chaos of the past few months?"
Ying Zheng just showed a bit of embarrassment: "This -"
Tang Yikang was unyielding and said: "The "Posthumous Law" says, "Zhao" is called "Zhao" if his appearance is respectful and beautiful; "Zhao" is called "Zhao" if his appearance is respectful; "Zhao" is called "Zhao" if he has virtue; "Zhao" is called "Zhao" when he hears "Zhou Da"; "Zhao" is said "Zhao" when he hears "Xuan Yuan" - Which of these praises and accolades can the late Queen afford? How can this woman who brought trouble to the imperial court be recorded in the annals of history with such a beautiful posthumous title!"
Princess Changhua was stepped on her lungs and she immediately screamed: "How can you discuss royal matters like this?!"
Tang Yikang also had an angry look on his face, but he sneered and said calmly: "May I ask the eldest princess, who made the decision to give the late empress a posthumous title?"
The eldest princess of Changhua said coldly: "It's me, how about it?!"
Tang Yikang laughed twice, and then said: "Determining a posthumous title for the Daxing Emperor or the Empress is a matter between Zongzheng and the Ministry of Rites, and a matter for the prime ministers. When will it be the turn of the eldest princess to come and take over? Is your hand stretched a little too long?!"
The eldest princess of Changhua was speechless for a moment. After regaining consciousness, she immediately choked back: "I am the eldest princess of the auxiliary government. How can I not be the lord?!"
"Princess Auxiliary Chief? You are so majestic!"
Tang Yikang then stretched his hand forward: "Where is the late emperor's edict? Take it out and let me see it!"
"you!"
Princess Changhua hesitated again, but said bitterly: "After the late Emperor's great success, everything has been decided by Queen Xiaozhao, and the Queen Mother has ordered me to assist in the government. Isn't this okay?!"
"No! Who told the eldest princess that you can do this? You should kill this person to thank the world!"
Tang Yikang said solemnly: "The Queen Mother has the power to cooperate with the clan to appoint a new monarch, but she does not have the power to appoint someone to assist the government after the new monarch is appointed! Who does she think she is, and what does she think this world is? ?A plaything in her palm?!"
The eldest princess of Changhua could not speak, but Tang Yikang's words became more sharp: "The posthumous title of the late queen was decided by the eldest princess, how can it be taken seriously? And the identity of the eldest princess as assistant to the government itself It’s just out of chaos, which is even more ridiculous!”
"What's worse, the late empress threatened the internal servants and framed the prime minister. What did she want? She brought chaos to the world for the sake of her family. How can such a woman be a mother to the world? She should be killed to thank the world!"
The last sentence was so cruel and exceeded the bottom line of Princess Changhua that she acted on the spot and became furious: "How dare you, Shuzi! Which of your eyes saw my mother in trouble?" The world is over?!”
Tang Yikang sneered, put his hands on his hands and said in a strange tone: "If you allow a fool like you to occupy a high position and eat nothing but his corpse, doesn't that count as causing trouble to the world?"
"Your voice is so impassioned at this time, and the look on your face is so angry and unfair. In this case, you must have done a lot of useful things during your time as the auxiliary princess. After all, you have also provided good governance to the people of the world, right?"
"The previous case of embezzling grain and grass must have been completely resolved?"
"As a daughter, you must be a good filial piety to your parents, right?"
"As a younger generation, you must be careful in the morning and dusk to serve the Queen Mother Quan, right?"
"I think that as the eldest sister, I also have the important task of assisting the government. I should follow the example of Zhou Gong's teaching to become a king. Pay attention to the emperor's younger brother's studies every day, tell him how to manage the government, and understand the words of the sages?"
Princess Changhua's face turned red and white, and she was speechless.
When Tang Yikang saw this, his voice immediately rose eight degrees: "What? You haven't done any of this?!"
"What, you only want to fool around with Bai Yanqing behind the curtain and treat the government like shit?!"
"Princess, in my opinion, you are still too restrained and conservative. What's the point of promulgating prostitution in the late emperor's palace? The late empress has not been buried yet. You should take Bai Yanqing with you. , beating gongs and drums to sit in front of her coffin, how can I live up to your kindness and sincerity!"
"The late Queen was so far-sighted that she chose an outstanding regent like you. Seeing you happily expressing your true feelings and wildness in front of her soul, I think she will also feel relieved when she is under the nine springs?!"
Princess Changhua was speechless when she heard this. She was so angry and humiliated that she burst into tears and couldn't hold back her sobs.
On the contrary, Bai Yanqing, who struggled to spit out the gag in his mouth, defended her injustice: "Shizhong Tang, what you said is really too much. In fact, the eldest princess and I..."
"What's going on, shit is talking?!"
Tang Yikang looked shocked at first, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, when I took a closer look, it turned out to be Bai Xiang!"
Bai Yanqing: "..."
Tang Yikang curled his lips: "It's better to just talk shit!"
Bai Yanqing: "..."
He wanted to speak, but Tang Yikang didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Princess Changhua is an idiot, aren't you? How can it be that the creation of heaven and earth has worked so hard for you to get together as a pair of idiots!"
Tang Yikang asked questions like a storm: "The eldest princess doesn't know etiquette, justice and shame, and you don't know it either! She doesn't know how to be filial to her parents, and you don't know how to be loyal to your queen. You two are the same as each other!"
"Bo Yanqing, what have you done since you took office? Have you ever really accomplished anything?!"
"As a prime minister, I recommended several people, but they were all stupid and greedy people. They harmed countless people and delayed the military plan! You deserve to die!"
"The late Emperor is on a great journey, and the period of filial piety has not yet come out. You openly stay in the inner palace, where do you regard the laws of the country and the late Emperor, and where do you place your son today?! You deserve to die!"
"What are you doing now?"
Tang Yikang's expression was sarcastic and dismissive: "Even if you are in danger, you still insist on protecting a weak woman in your eyes - oh, you must be touched in your heart, right? You must feel that you are a glamorous woman. A gentleman, right?!"
"Shit!"
