0455 The ministers only hope for the political hall
On the day when the prison soldiers of the court left the Lijing Gate and pushed the courtyard inside, the palace people ran around and told each other, and many people cried with joy.
These palace people have been in the forbidden area for a long time, and from birth to death, they can only see the world of the Great Inner. When the evil thoughts in the holy mind cover the entire Great Inner, they have a sense of despair that the world collapses. The punishment of the soldiers withdrew from the inner courtyard, and the haze dissipated and finally saw vitality again.
In addition to being grateful for the remnant of the disaster, the palace people were also sincerely grateful to the Dai Princess who led to this transformation. For a time, many palace people wandered near Renzhiyuan on the north bank of Jiuzhouchi, hoping to express their gratitude in person.
But Renzhiyuan is just a palace guard and is focused on praying for the sudden death of Xu Siyuan. Occasionally, one or two messages are just a good life, and it has nothing to do with the rest.
No matter how profound the people in the forbidden palace were from the realm of death to the birth of heaven, the outer court did not pay much attention to this. After all, for most people, they were too far away from what happened in the palace. Even if they heard it occasionally, they rarely paid close attention to it.
The current situation is focused on, one is the various holy intentions conveyed by the Dharma Club in the forbidden area, and the other is the resolution to attack the Turks from this Dharma Club.
At the same time, after being dismissed from the court, the Censor Lai Junchen immediately wrote a letter to complain about the change, saying that people from Lingnan liu were stolen and asked the court to send envoys south to investigate thoroughly.
There is no doubt that this was another method used by Lai Junchen to save himself. Although what happened during the forbidden court was unknown, it was more or less heard of. Some of them were keen-minded and wanted to use this as a breakthrough point and Junchen was expelled again in the future.
For example, Zhou Ju, who was also the attendant censor, secretly visited the criminals who had offered sacrifices in the inner court to collect evidence.
Lai Junchen knew that he did not have a deep holy relative as Xue Huaiyi, and he felt a sense of crisis. He first wrote a letter to complain that the change of path was because the government and the country were still in a state of power, and there were still many places to use force. Then he took the lead and made a move, impeached Zhou Ju and other court officials to ask about the ban, with bad intentions.
Wu Zetian knew that although the ritual meeting was temporarily reached an agreement among the third-rank officials in the court, there were still many people in the entire court discussing the evil spirits and needed to control the speech. Therefore, Lai Junchen took the initiative to lead the fire to the Constitutional Platform, which was quite consistent with her intentions, so she instructed Lai Junchen to strictly investigate.
At the same time, she instructed the court to send envoys from all over the country to go south to investigate whether the rebels had committed rebellion.
In fact, whether the wandering people rebelled was not a big problem. Not to mention that these wandering people were losers in the political struggles of the years and had little to do with the current order of the court. Even if they really intend to rebel, the exile places are already remote, what can they do?
The reason why we have to conduct strict investigations is nothing more than putting pressure on the people in front of us. People should not worry about the front, but should worry about the back, and everything in front of us is to make a warning for those who are later.
In mid-July, during the Ullamban Festival, hundreds of sects are resting and they are all at home to treat their rituals.
After the festival, Di Renjie went to his house to attend a banquet at the invitation of Cui Xuanwei, the son of Fengge. Cui Xuanwei was born in the famous family of Boling, Hebei. He was also in the Fengge province. He held a banquet, and there were twenty or thirty participants in the court and the opposition.
There were many poems and essays in the table, while Di Renjie held a cup and drank alone, and his face was filled with sadness.
"I don't know what happened to Di Gong, and he was so proud of his words during the banquet?"
Soon someone noticed that Di Renjie was in a bad mood. The official Qiu man named Yuan Shuji came in and asked.
After hearing this, Di Renjie sighed, looked up at the south, and said, "What I saw is a full guest and friends, and I can't help but remember my old friends. Li Chengzhou is talented and has excellent etiquette. If he can be at the table this day, he will definitely have amazing words. Unfortunately, his elegance is placed in the south of the world."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Li Chengzhou, as Di Renjie said, was Li Sizhen, the former Taichung Chief, who was exiled with Di Renjie and other prime ministers in the past year. Among the group of exiled people, Wei Yuanzhong and Di Renjie were revived one after another, while former prime minister Ren Zhigu, Li Sizhen and others were still exiled.
The exile life is already very sad. Now that the court has sent envoys to investigate the rebellion of the people, it is conceivable that those invaders will inevitably suffer even more undesirable disasters. So when Di Renjie finished speaking, everyone present showed their own faces. They may have relatives and friends still exiled. Even if they did not, they all felt more and less sympathy in their hearts.
As Di Renjie spoke, the joyful atmosphere of the banquet was reduced, and when everyone talked about it, they felt that the court's actions were a bit overcorrect.
Seeing that everyone was so polite, Di Renjie felt slightly relaxed. The reason why he took the initiative to mention this matter was that he hoped to integrate people's hearts and wrote a letter to dissuade them.
Although the first batch of envoys have been sent, if the subsequent dispatch of His Majesty the Holy Emperor can be dissuaded, it can also warn the first batch of envoys who went south, so that they can restrain themselves while adjudicating the matter and show mercy to those tragic wanderers.
However, before Di Renjie spoke, Cui Xuanwei, who was sitting in the host's seat, sighed: "What you said is really understandable, but the court has deeper concerns to send envoys to the south to investigate."
When everyone was talking about Cui Xuanwei, they were talking, and even Di Renjie looked at Cui Xuanwei with a little curiosity, wanting to hear him talk about the deep reasons for the court to do this. Although these times are also in the capital of God, they cannot enter the secrets after all, and they are inevitably short of knowledge.
"Li Xianggong has not returned to Xijing for a long time, and the situation has been taken away from the outside, which has also caused the operation of all matters in the court to be difficult. What is more serious is that the emperor Sijiu cannot get out of peace during the incident..."
What Cui Xuanwei said was that Li Zhaode went to the capital to investigate the murder case of Wangchengyi. King Wu Yizong of Hanoi, who was on mission together, had already returned to Shendu, but Li Zhaode continued to stay in Xijing on the grounds that there were still doubts in the case.
Di Renjie originally thought Cui Xuanwei had some profound statements, but when he heard that Li Zhaode was involved, he couldn't help but frown.
Although he was in the Yiyi Department, he was also old and old in the court. He might not know many confidential matters in time, but he did not know any tangled with the personnel disputes in the court.
The reason why Li Zhaode was in Xijing for a long time was definitely not because Cui Xuanwei implied that he wanted to avoid the disputes between the court. One was that the Wu kings were obstructed and unwilling to let Li Zhaode return to the court too early.
Second, the matters that Li Zhaode himself has taken on are important. Now the cruel officials in the court are rampant and almost no control. Once Li Zhaode returns to the capital and has no support, if this part of the matter is taken away by cruel officials, there will inevitably be more victims.
Now in the court, let alone His Majesty the Holy Emperor's intentions, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall is only King Wu of Liang, Mr. Lu Qinwang of Fengge, and Mr. Yang Zaisi of Luantai.
These three people were incompetent in their positions. It can be seen from the fact that the Chinese Federation decided to go to the Turks a few days ago that they had no power to correct the king's destiny, and could only agree.
At least in Di Renjie's view, the present is not a good opportunity to engage in foreign affairs. Before the New Year, the imperial court used troops to recover the four towns of Anxi, and the current situation was only barely maintained. Tubo could counterattack at any time. The personnel arranged in the Western Regions should not be easily withdrawn, and it may even require continuous investment.
In the face of the Inner Kingdom, although the cabin transportation matters hosted by the King of Dai have achieved some results, making the national economy and expenditure a little calmer. However, this matter is still shallow and needs to be stabilized. At least it depends on the overall gain of the annual income this year to determine whether it will succeed.
Under such circumstances, His Majesty the Holy Emperor insisted on his own and decided to go to the Turks, and he used such a strange excuse, and had no overall strategic intention and tactical concept. He could not defeat him by chance, but he could not reverse the offensive and defensive situation in the north. He was simply a rash act of waste of money and money.
Di Renjie believed that knowledgeable people in the court could see this problem, but the reason why there were no powerful figures to dissuade him was that all the people who were involved had lost the integrity of discussing the matter.
For example, Cui Xuanwei in front of him, he worked in Fengge and was deeply involved in the confidentiality. Faced with the obvious chaos in the court and avoided talking about the rest of the matter, he turned to discuss the details. After all, power is just a seductive one.
In today's political affairs hall, there are five prime ministers, but the Xia official, Wang Xiaojie, was the chief magistrate of Anxi, and was only the chief minister. The Fengge assistant minister Li Zhaode was trapped in Xijing and could not return to the court calmly and perform his duties as prime minister. As for the three people in the court, none of them had the ability to take on the national economy.
So next, the Political Affairs Hall will definitely make some major additions and adjustments. This is already the consensus of the ministers in the court, and it is also a situation deliberately promoted by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, those in the political affairs hall are cautious in their words and actions, and dare not disobey the will of the saints. Those who are consciously qualified will observe carefully, hoping to be the minister in one fell swoop.
Cui Xuanwei is now in Fengge's house, and is also the prime minister's back-up echelon. This is why he refers to Li Zhaode. As long as Li Zhaode can be excluded from the court, the next political affairs hall has reached the point where he has to make supplementary additions.
Cui Xuanwei, who was born in Hebei, had an advantage, that is, Xue Huaiyi led his army to fight against the Turks this time, and he must rely on the power of the people in Hebei. Therefore, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is very likely to promote a court official from Hebei to the Political Affairs Hall to serve as prime minister.
Therefore, the ministers did not stop the expedition to the Turks this time, because of the urgent intention of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and the seduction of the prime minister's position.
Originally, Di Renjie planned to join forces with the court to persuade the court to continue to send more envoys to the south, but due to Cui Xuanwei's speech, everyone present was distorted. After all, the situation of the people in Lingnan was not as painful as the court itself. After all, people should start from their own perspective to weigh and judge.
So Di Renjie felt more and more depressed as he sat in the table, so he simply stood up and said goodbye.
Cui Xuanwei sent Di Renjie out of the house and avoided Di Renjie's scrutiny. He just sighed: "Now the mortal atmosphere is strong, so you should not focus on the details of the plan. Only by seeking stability in the middle can you hope that everything will be settled. Mr. Di is a successful country and hopes to be considerate."
Di Renjie didn't say much about this, just nodded and left silently.
