- Volume 5: The height of the temple, the distance of the rivers and lakes Chapter 1: Flag
Du Ning lowered his head slightly and asked, "I wonder which item the emperor is asking about?"
Emperor Qiyuan subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Du Ning thoughtfully. Du Ning knew that he shouldn't speak at this time, but there were a lot of things going on these days, and the emperor had indeed arranged more than one secret for him to investigate, so he still had to bite the bullet. Fortunately, Emperor Qiyuan hesitated and seemed to understand Du Ning's situation. Although he was slightly unhappy, he still continued the conversation.
"Those people who made a lot of noise a few days ago, haven't they been doing anything recently?"
Du Ning immediately understood. After glancing around, he took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "So this is what the emperor was talking about. The people under the minister have already been arranged, but the new ones are still in the familiarization and adaptation stage. , in order not to reveal his identity, no news has been reported yet. Howeveraccording to the news that came from the secret line a long time ago, we have some clues. "
"Oh? Tell me."
"There has been nothing unusual in Shangshu's Mansion these days, and the mansion is the same as before. In addition to going to court, Wang Yuan returned to the mansion to enjoy flowers and have fun these days. He basically stayed at home, except for the occasional few Qing Dynasties. Apart from admiring flowers, drinking wine, playing chess and playing the piano, I didn¡¯t find anyone having any contact with anyone in the court.¡±
"Oh? So, he is dedicated to serving the public good?"
"Uh" Du Ning paused slightly and said, "I dare not say, but from the current point of view, there is nothing suspicious about Shangshu Mansion."
Emperor Qiyuan snorted coldly: "Viewing flowers and drinking wine, playing chess and playing the piano, huh, he is living a much more relaxed life than me He pretends to be carefree, but he may not be so in reality. Keep watching him, and watch more carefully!"
"Yes. I think that if there is a problem in the Shangshu Mansion, I am afraid that it cannot be found out in just a few days. Especially after the court meeting that day, some people must have noticed it. Then in the next period of time, I'm afraid there won't be any action inside. Therefore, my people are still observing, but if there is any change, the emperor will know about it at any time."
"Well" Emperor Qiyuan nodded: "Where are the others?"
"Luo Xuan has not been idle these days. Many people's names have been mentioned in the rebellion and floods in the southeast. In addition, several people such as Zhang Ziteng and Fei Yue who secretly collaborated with the enemy have been exposed, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has recently made more There is work to do. The emperor must also know this. For many days, Luo Xuan and his men were busy impeaching officials, and no comments were made in private. Even if some of the comments were somewhat distorted or distorted, the minister We can¡¯t just stare at this.¡±
Emperor Qiyuan kept nodding his head, Du Ning was right. Even if he asked Du Ning to investigate people with a purpose, he did not just let the investigation go casually. The purpose now is not to arrest people, but to verify. Since this is the case, there must be evidence and reasons that can be said openly and honestly, so that we can be targeted and leave no evidence behind. Although he now doubts Luo Xuan, he has no real evidence. Even if Luo Xuan is caught with some evidence now, it will be useless because Luo Xuan's identity is the chief inspector and the imperial envoy. He has a certain degree of autonomy in whom he wants to investigate and impeach. This is what Yan Guan does, even if Luo Xuan is wrongly impeached now, or he is harboring evil intentions and taking the opportunity to step on his political opponents. , but until there is no real evidence, we still can¡¯t do anything to him. Because that was within the scope of his job and he could not be punished for his words.
What¡¯s more, the current attitude towards Luo Xuan is still at the stage of suspicion.
However, the more this happened, the more uneasy Emperor Qiyuan felt. After serving as an official for many years, who can be spotless and clean inside and out? If he really went to investigate, Emperor Qiyuan believed that with Du Ning's methods, he could still find out some dark materials about Luo Xuan. The problem is, Emperor Qiyuan doesn't care about those things. The reason why Du Ning was asked to launch a secret investigation into a minister and a dignified imperial envoy was ultimately because of the dispute in the court a few days ago, in which the two parties had different opinions and several court officials were involved. No one was willing to give in. The situation was like two parties fighting. At that moment, Emperor Qiyuan, who had just calmed down the rebellion and became in a bright mood, suddenly fell into another kind of panic.
The natural disaster has passed, the rebellion has been put down, and the war in the northwest has gradually dissipated. However, at this time, Emperor Qiyuan began to worry. He lost the pressure from the outside, and the hidden dangers that emerged within the Jian Dynasty made him lose his sense of peace. In a daze, scenes from before and after he ascended the throne many years ago seemed to appear before his eyes. Although it ended peacefully in the end, the flash of swords and the hidden bloody murderous intention still made Emperor Qiyuan shudder when he thought about it now.
Time flies, Emperor Qiyuan has been in power for forty years, and he has already entered his sixtieth year. His peopleHow many years of age are left? No one can say for sure. And look at the princes below. They have all grown up. Many princes have already married. The eldest son, Prince Akihito, is now in his thirties. The second prince, Mingyi, is also a vigorous man and is in the prime of life
Although the crown prince has been established early and Akihito has handled political affairs as the crown prince for many years, the real power is still firmly in the hands of Emperor Qiyuan. Over the years, Emperor Qiyuan had heard to some extent about the prince's complaints in the East Palace, but if he put himself in his shoes, Akihito's prince was indeed a little depressed. As a father, although Emperor Qiyuan was a little annoyed by his indiscreet words, In the end, he could only sigh and ignore it.
However, it was not just Akihito who troubled Emperor Qiyuan, but also the second prince Mingyi. Emperor Qiyuan had many sons, and very few were mediocre. In comparison, although Akihito had ascended to the throne of prince early, the other princes were no worse than Akihito in person. Especially the second-ranked Mingyi. Compared with Akihito, who has stayed in the palace almost all his life, Mingyi's reputation outside, especially in the army, is ranked first among the princes.
During the two Northern Expeditions, he went into battle and killed countless enemy chiefs. When the imperial court was passively defending, in the battle where Pingbei General Yishan was killed, he took the lead in using cavalry to reverse the decline, thus ensuring that Guo Xiao could reorganize the defense line. The second prince Mingyi was among the troops. . To this day, among the veterans who returned from the expedition to the north, the second prince Mingyi has a very high reputation. In contrast, Prince Akihito, who has been busy in the palace with documents, can be said to have no prestige in the army
"One is the legitimate Crown Prince of the East Palace, who has overseen the country and handled government affairs; the other has great military exploits and is majestic in all directions. Although Emperor Qi Yuan has been deliberately suppressing Ming Yi's limelight, this is in line with the old saying: "The tip is in the bag, and the end is seen immediately." With Ming Yi's sharp edge and his status as the current prince, unless It is to suppress with all our strength, otherwise how can we suppress it? But in this way, even though Akihito is already the legitimate prince, Mingyi still has the respect and even support of many people.
From a father's point of view, the prince has a legitimate reputation, and the second son's respect from the courtiers is nothing more than a false reputation in the eyes of Emperor Qiyuan. To reprimand him for this would inevitably hurt the feelings of father and son, so he suppressed it. But time flies, and over time, judging from the situations that occurred in the court in the past few days, it seems that things have developed to a certain extent, which is enough to have an impact on the court
After Emperor Qi Yuan ascended the throne, the East Palace stood at attention, obviously to avoid this situation, but it backfired. In the end, he was careful, but he still ended up in this situation.
This is not unfounded concern of Emperor Qiyuan. Although Zheng Ci has been in the northwest for a long time, she became acquainted with Prince Akihito in the examination room. He is also a self-disciplined, propriety and upright person, so it is not surprising that he usually respects the prince. But the problem is that something that was not surprising at first became a flashpoint in the quarrel between the two parties after changing the time and place.
On one side is the Crown Prince Taifu Yang Zihe, and on the other side is the Minister of War Wang Yuan and the Imperial Envoy Luo Xuan.
Yang Zihe is undoubtedly on the side of the prince. Every action, word and deed represents the prince. It is impossible to judge one thing easily. But that day in the court, he was forced to stand up. Obviously, things were not as simple as Emperor Qiyuan imagined.
On the other hand, Wang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, has a wife named Li. Although she has no reputation as a virtuous person, her background has some origins. Li's mother's surname is Fang, and she is a blood relative of the Fang family in Dingzhou. The biological mother of the second prince Mingyi was the former concubine Jing. Now the concubine Jing is a relative of the Fang family, and his mother is also a member of the Fang family. Although Li and Concubine Jing are not directly related by blood, they are very close to each other from the previous generation. Because of this relationship, Wang Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had already passed through the palace before he climbed to the high position of the ministry. After that, as the official became bigger and bigger, the relationship between Wang Yuan and the Fang family became closer and closer. And in this way, if there is a dispute over interests, it seems self-evident which side Wang Yuan will be on.
The prince Akihito and the second prince Mingyi fought so clearly in the court, which was beyond Emperor Qiyuan's expectation.
If there was only one Wang Yuan, Emperor Qi Yuan might not be touched. But after Wang Yuan, there was also Luo Xuan, the Imperial Envoy, and a series of other officials who followed him, and the meaning was completely different.
Because of knowing this, in the court a few days ago, because of Zheng Ci, the chief envoy of Hannan, although people on both sides apparently stood on the side of justice and expressed their opinions, the people on both sides stood up. Emperor Qiyuan glanced at it briefly, but he was still a little surprised and awe-struck in his heart. At the same time, the anger that has been deliberately suppressed is also facing the precursor to erupting.
