After hearing what Xing Shu and Cai Jing said, Cai Que didn't sleep all night.
If it weren't for his scruples, once word spread about the Prime Minister's private night meeting, he would be impeached by the world.
He couldn't wait to go to the ministers to discuss this matter overnight.
Of course, Cai Que would not just sit around and wait.
That night, he sent his sons to visit the prime minister one by one with his tokens.
Han Zhen, Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen, Zhang Hong, An Tao - he deliberately didn't tell Wang Gui.
By the way, Cai Que also specially sent his servants to Zeng Bu's house and asked about it. Zeng Bu's answer was very interesting: I wonder what You Kui is talking about?
Pretending to be confused, but indirectly admitting it, the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace ordered him to inquire about the Spring and Autumn Classics.
At this moment, Cai Que felt as if he had a sore on his butt.
Throughout the night, they continued to send people to explore the tiles in various night markets in Bianjing City and the streets of night markets.
The reported news is more exciting than the last!
Not only did all the Cuodas in Wazi in the night market know that the Prince of Yan'an County was filial, eager to learn, and knowledgeable about etiquette.
Even the children on the road know it, and many people can describe the details vividly, as if they were there and saw it with their own eyes in Ouchi!
In Bianjing City, all kinds of news are flying all over the place.
Some idle men were even discussing: Aren’t all the ministers in the court already disloyal to the official family? Otherwise, how could they remain indifferent if the Prince of Yan'an County was so filial and eager to learn! It seems that all the people in the DPRK are villains! It’s better that the Twelve Prime Minister Sima returns to the court to take charge of the overall situation!
After listening to the servant's report, Cai Que's eyelids kept twitching!
How many days has it been? !
He never imagined that public opinion would have fermented to this point!
Moreover, Cai Que immediately smelled an unusual smell from it.
When did Cuo Da in Bianjing City understand so much the ranking and seniority of ministers?
Also the Twelve Prime Ministers of Sima?
You really understand!
So Cai Que stayed up all night.
Before dawn, he hurriedly took Yuan Sui out and went straight to Xuande Gate. Before the gate of the imperial city was opened, he had already arrived at Xuande Gate.
Then, under Xuande's door, Cai Que met his ministers who had also stayed up all night.
Zhang Dun, Zhang Hong, Li Qingchen, and An Tao all had dark circles under their eyes.
Although Han Zhen, the Privy Councilor, seemed quite normal, he also came to Xuande's sect early.
Everyone gets together to discuss and communicate.
Then, they discovered more news that they had ignored in the past few days.
Now, not only the city of Bianjing is talking about it.
The entire Kaifeng Mansion was already talking about it.
It is said that even in Baima County, everyone knows about it!
Looking at it this way, I am afraid that Damingfu in Beijing and Luoyang in Xijing should also know the news.
Everyone was suddenly dizzy and cursed secretly.
Everyone knows they lost points!
Moreover, a big loss!
A moment of negligence may lead to a serious crime!
Just in case, just in case, at this moment, memorials from important ministers in Luoyang, Xijing, Damingfu, Beijing, and even Heyang and other places are already on their way.
So……
How can these ministers behave themselves?
The people of the old party have something to say: The public lives in the temple, prepares the position of prime minister, and assists the emperor. If the emperor cannot support the emperor, and the people cannot be safe, what is the use of the country to support the public?
Especially Sima Guang's mouth, if he seizes this opportunity.
Everyone knows that Sima Guang will definitely exaggerate their stupidity and slowness in this matter a hundred times, and then use the scholarly public opinion controlled by the old party to spread it to every military state in the Song Dynasty!
For scholar-bureaucrats, if their reputation is ruined, it is no different than death!
At first, Kou Zhun and Kou Laigong were demoted to Leizhou Sihu to join the army. After arriving in Leizhou, the local people heard that Kou Xianggong was coming. People from all over the country came in droves. When people saw that Kou Xianggong had no place to live, they started to help him. Build and repair houses.
The local gentry also donated their maids and servants to serve Kou Zhun.
But when Ding Wei was demoted to Leizhou, the locals despised him and even hid their faces when they saw him on the road.
However, the ministers under Xuande soon discovered that Wang Gui did not come!
Then everyone immediately agreed: Wang Gui said something like that yesterday, and Zhongshu Sheren has recorded it.
If anyone really comes to blame everyone, then blame it all on Wang Gui - Wang Gui is dull and indecisive!
A dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist!
In addition, no matter whether the veterans of the old party have already submitted the letter in a hurry.
As long as they, the ruling ministers, can snatch away those horses before entering the capital, the matter of establishing the crown prince will be confirmed.
So, who can gossip about them?
Especially Cai Que!
He has the official instructions to take care of his life and trust him. When the time comes, he can completely change his identity and take credit for the decision-making and support!
Therefore, after thinking about it clearly, Cai Que was full of ambition and hesitated!
…
Finally, the gate of Qingning Palace, which was guarded tightly by Yu Longzhi, was opened.
An internal minister came to the ministers and said: "The sage ordered the ministers to enter the palace!"
Therefore, Wang Gui and Cai Que immediately led the crowd, stepped forward and worshiped: "I respect the decree of Her Royal Highness the Queen!"
Everyone was shocked:
Is the Queen really in Qingning Palace?
The legend is true!
The prince of Yan'an County is pure filial piety, eager to learn, knowledgeable about etiquette, respects the ways of saints, and practices the etiquette of saints.
Therefore, the emperor was pure filial piety, filial piety and admiration for the queen mother, and respectful and filial piety at the queen's knees.
Praying for the emperor, he hand-copied Buddhist scriptures and wrote the words of prayer: May my mother-in-law live long, my queen may live forever, and my concubine may be happy forever!
Sincerely! Such etiquette!
What a great example to the world!
However, these ministers, these days, are only focused on fighting for power and profit, so much so that they do not even have control over such a big matter or even the discussions in the Bianjing market!
Damn it!
What a shame!
Several ministers who were moved by Li Xian's case complained and regretted in their hearts.
With this mood, the ministers came in with their hands in hand, and respectfully entered the Qingning Palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
Then, he was taken to the dormitory of Qingning Palace.
As soon as the ministers entered, the curtain on a Korean bed in the sleeping hall had been lowered.
The queen's figure was looming within the curtain.
The queen inside the curtain placed a child on her knees so that the child's appearance could be seen by the officials.
The child looked thin, but his face was rosy, his appearance was upright and handsome, and his brows and eyes had a vague look similar to that of an official.
Although he was placed on the queen's knee, his demeanor was very upright, sitting upright and looking at everyone.
Although his eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if he had cried, those small eyes looked at the ministers with a calm, calm and calm look.
It was as if he had seen the ministers come to him countless times.
It seemed as if he had experienced similar scenes countless times.
The ministers held fluorene and worshiped.
As the left prime minister, Wang Gui suppressed the uneasiness and nervousness in his heart, took a step forward and paid homage: "My lord, Minister Zuo Pushe, and my servant Gui, would like to ask if the Queen is well, and I would like to pay my respects to the Prince of Yan'an County. Your Highness is fine!"
Cai Que and other ministers held fluorine and bowed to the Prince of Yan'an on the bed and the queen behind the curtain of beaded curtains.
"I am fine!" Queen Xiang's voice came from inside the curtain.
"I'm fine!" The Prince of Yan'an County said softly in the Queen's arms.
Although the voice was soft, it was very smooth, without any tension or any surprise.
The ministers secretly observed His Highness from the corners of their eyes.
I found that his expression was still calm as usual.
Moreover, the eyes he looked at the ministers always remained calm.
He was almost the same person as the prince who was a little nervous and a little scared last year when he was watching the ministers worshiping in Jiying Palace.
…
Zhao Xu was held by Queen Xiang and placed on her knees.
He quietly looked at the ministers in front of him.
Especially the old minister standing at the front, wearing a purple robe with long sleeves and long flippers on his head. He has a rich face and a slightly rickety figure.
Although, Zhao Xu's memory has completely forgotten the appearance of this person. But Zhao Xu would never mistake his voice.
How many midnight dreams come back, how many nightmares wake me up.
He will always remember that voice, that old voice outside Funing Hall.
"Please ask the Queen Mother to listen to the government together until she recovers!"
Similarly, Zhao Xu also remembered clearly how he liquidated this person after he took office.
"I have no second ambitions, beware of treachery! The state has permanent punishments, and it is difficult to escape from the crime... Therefore, Jin Ziguanglu, the minister Zuopushe and the servant, presented Wang Gui to the grand master, stole the Wenhua major, and bowed to Rou. He traveled through the dangers of Pei, tamed himself to the throne, and then lived in the tombs... referring to the imperial court as his home, and using the country as his personal agenda... holding both ends, regardless of righteousness, only to avoid being killed during his lifetime, but also to enjoy the glory after his death... ... Demotion from the subordinates will lead to loss of rank, pursuit of righteousness will lead to wrong favors, and the generals will be evil, and they know the police constitution, so they can be especially demoted from the position of the commander of the Wan'an Army to join the army!"
Zhao Xu softly recited these words in his heart. Under his personal instruction, the words were written by Cai Jing, then a Hanlin scholar.
Every word of these words completely negates Wang Gui's life!
Including his talents, articles, political achievements, merits...deny them all!
Then comes a complete reckoning.
Deprive yourself of all court treatment, deprive you of all official titles and honors!
The descendants of the Wang family will be deprived of all their kindness!
If they are entered into another register, the descendants and descendants of Wang Gui will never be registered in the various roads of the capital and have the same qualifications and official positions!
In terms of system, the promotion path for the descendants of the Wang family is blocked!
pity……
Zhao Xu shook his head in his heart. His good brother forgot how much his royal brother hated the Wang family as soon as he came on stage.
The imprisonment of Wang Gui's family was lifted.
So, the Wang family recruited a grandson-in-law, and his name was: Qin Hui!
In modern times, when Zhao Xu saw this episode and saw Qin Hui concocting an unfounded crime and killing Yue Fei in Fengbo Pavilion, he burst into tears of laughter.
Really, if you are not a family, don’t enter the same house!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu looked straight at Wang Gui, with a pair of clear black and white eyes, staring at the prime minister who almost brought him to death in his previous life, the prime minister who dared to collude with his relatives, and dared to think of establishing another prince!
This time, Zhao Xu vowed not to give the Wang family a chance!
Because he will definitely have sons, many sons!
As long as there is an heir, the Wang family will never be able to stand up again!
Wang Gui was a little frightened when he saw him, and couldn't help but lower his head.
Maybe he has a guilty conscience?
Zhao Xu thought in his heart.
