Chapter 89: Another Shot
Ma Yan was silent for a while, his face was straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say so much for now, check it out! There must be a result tonight!"
Huang Zheng understood that the great changes in Zichen Palace today will definitely shake Kaifeng City. There may be changes they would not expect tomorrow. They must make explanations, otherwise it will be difficult to get out easily!
The two looked at each other and sat down on the chair and waited quietly. Their expressions were almost exactly the same, as solemn as ice!
Before it was dark, the Secretariat had received more than a dozen memorials.
Qin Bing, the clan of the Secretariat, was regarded as the butler of the Political Affairs Hall. Looking at the memorials sent in, he felt silent and heavy in his heart.
These memorials were naturally not arranged by them.
There were a few who impeached the Ministry of Justice, a few who accused Lu Dafang, a few who went to Su Song, and there was even another who openly accused Empress Dowager Gao of "reporting power to the country and not returning to power for a long time"!
This is unprecedented, as if it is foreshadowing something.
Qin Bing looked up and saw that Lu Dafang's duty room was closed, quiet, unlike in the past, there was really no one here.
Qin Bing looked at these memorials for a while, put away the memorials. A communicative housekeeper came in not far away, looked at them and asked, "Qin Sheren, where are these memorials sent?"
In the past, these memorials were naturally sent to Cining Hall after being reviewed by your friends.
Qin Bing could hear what he meant, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Let's leave it for now."
When the public affairs clerk saw that he was really put on the side and asked softly: "Will you send it to Funing Palace?"
Qin Bing suddenly looked cold and said, "These things are not what you should ask!"
The gaze of the public affairs chamberman flashed slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Qin Bing ignored him, cleaned up, looked around in various rooms, and then left work.
He stood in front of the door and looked at the Privy Council to the west, hesitating whether to meet Su Song. In the end, he still didn't go and left the palace.
At this time, the public affairs clerk quietly came out of the corner, looked at Qin Bing's back, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and turned around and walked towards the direction of the Yeting Bureau.
The situation in the palace has become more and more obvious. Although Zhou He is still Huangmen Ling, he is actually in charge of two people - Chenpi and Tong Guan.
This public servant directly found Tong Guan through relationships.
Tong Guan is now cautious, trying to make new contributions, and maintaining his position in Zhao Xu's heart.
Tong Guan sat on the chair, looked at Li Pin, a polite person who was bent in front of him, and said slowly: "You mean, Qin Bing put all the memorials that were supposed to be given to the official family in the Political Affairs Hall?"
Li Pin quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes. The villain also asked specifically whether he wanted to give it to the official family, but Qin Bing refused sternly."
Tong Guan snorted coldly and said, "Qin Bing is so brave, he dares to deduct the official's memorials!"
Li Pin looked at Tong Guan's expression, cautiously and with deep meaning, and said, "Who said no, but the villain is humble and speaks lightly, so he can only tell his father-in-law."
Tong Guan could hear what he meant, and glanced at him from the bottom of his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your credit. I'll go to see the official family here."
Tong Guan immediately left the Yeting Bureau and came to Funing Hall. He stood outside Zhao Xu's study, watching Zhao Ji stand outside the door respectfully and silently.
In the study, Zhao Ji sat opposite Zhao Xu, holding a brush in his hand, and there was white paper on the table. He bulged his face and pursed his lips, and wrote in strokes.
Zhao Xu held the teacup and watched the little bastard practice writing seriously and concentratingly. He felt very satisfied and contented.
After writing eight, Zhao Ji looked up at Zhao Xu and said, "I've written it."
Zhao Xu let out a whisper, his body stopped moving, looked up and said, "The word Yong is still not written smoothly enough, so I will write it again."
Zhao Ji pursed his lips tightly, stared at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu snorted and said, "The school building teacher said, you don't write well, so I want me to supervise you more and dare to glare at me again, so don't think about leaving today."
Zhao Ji hated the men in the school building to death, and thought to go to Concubine Zhu to have some snacks later. Seeing that Zhao Xu was so leisurely and leisurely, he said indignantly: "No, please write it to me by the official!"
Zhao Xu had no expression on his face and said lightly: "I didn't hear it clearly, you can say it again."
When Zhao Ji saw this, he quickly picked up the pen with quick movements. He lost his anger just now, his face was very serious and he started writing with concentration.
Zhao Xu looked at him, hummed in his heart, and said to himself: If I had what you wrote well, I would have written it for you a long time ago!
Not long after, Zhao Ji wrote it again, put his pen down, sat upright, and looked at Zhao Xu seriously.
Zhao Xu glanced at Tong Guan who had been waiting for a while and said to Zhao Ji: "If you have made any progress, I will spare you today, go."
Zhao Ji didn't expect Zhao Xu to let him go so easily today. He was overjoyed, but before he could be happy, he suddenly pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Xu with a rare look of timidity, and said, "Official family, can I go and see my grandmother?"
Zhao Xu was stunned, and then he realized that Zhao Ji also grew up under Empress Dowager Gao's knees. Even though Empress Dowager Gao was strict, he was not a bad person.
I was too lazy to be filial to this little bastard, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Don't listen to the rumors in the palace, go if you want to."
Zhao Ji was only nine years old after all. He jumped up and kicked over the stool, causing Zhao Xu's table to tremble, and the teacup in his hand almost spilled out. Zhao Ji seemed to have no idea, and turned around and ran outside.
Zhao Xu twitched his lips, and he really wanted to catch this little bastard and beat him up.
At this time, Tong Guan walked in quietly, stood in front of Zhao Xu's table, bowed his body, and told Li Pin concisely.
Zhao Xu listened, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip at his mouth, and nodded in his heart: The direction of the wind has changed.
He held the teacup, thought for a moment, looked at Tong Guan and said, "It is indeed not enough to ask the prime minister to return home to reflect on himself, but the Political Affairs Hall cannot move lightly. What do you think you should do?"
Tong Guan's waist bow was deeper, knowing that this was a test, and some of the long-standing abdomen were useless, their eyes flashed quickly, and after a moment, he said softly: "The official, the foreign court has not heard of Your Majesty for a long time, and he still needs to give a warning."
Zhao Xu smiled and said with some playfulness: "Oh, what I did not do enough today?"
Tong Guan said: "From the reaction of the Political Affairs Hall, it is not enough."
Zhao Xu looked at Tong Guan and gently turned the teacup.
Tong Guan was right, but it was far from enough. In addition, the news of the death of the Empress Dowager will be spread tomorrow, so he must remind the outer court again!
"What do you think you should do?" Zhao Xu glanced at Tong Guan, fiddled with the tea, and asked casually.
Tong Guan paused and said, "The official can imprison Qin Bing and appoint a new Zhongshu Sheik, so that he can control the Political Affairs Hall."
Zhao Xu shook his head secretly. Tong Guan’s current eyelids were shallower. Even if he took Qin Bing, the new Zhongshu Sheren did not have those few husbands nodded. He could not force his appointment, and he might be in a quarrel, which would damage his prestige and paralyze government affairs.
Zhao Xu took another sip of tea and said, "Has the Shangshu Province issued my orders?"
Tong Guan was slightly stunned and couldn't figure it out, so he had to honestly say, "If it is issued, it should be notified to the official family. Now it seems that there is not yet."
Zhao Xu turned his head, looked out the window, and said, "At this time, he still resisted the order as usual... Go and tell Chen Pi, ordering the Imperial City Department to seal the Secretariat overnight."
Tong Guan was shocked when he listened.
I just signed the Three Sessions Office yesterday. Do I want to enthrone the Secretariat again today? What is the official doing?
If the Secretariat was really sealed off, it would not only remind the government and the public of "de facto governance" to the government and the public, but it would also cause a violent backlash from the government and the public, right?
Tong Guan raised his head, looked at Zhao Xu's plain expression, and suddenly he was secretly alert in his heart. He vaguely guessed that the official must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the villain will go now."
Zhao Xu nodded and continued to fiddle with the tea.
