Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth crisis revealed
Bi Ziyan twitched slightly, looked up at him, not knowing how to speak again.
Since Chongzhen, the emperor has purged the court and changed the structure of the central court. The Censorate, the Censorate, and the Six Censors, and the Cabinets have been empty. The six ministries hold real power and there is no power that can restrict the emperor. The emperor's will is unparalleled.
If there is another "national foundation dispute", how can court officials "fight" with the emperor? Or, if there are a few people who dare to fight with the emperor, the public opinion of the glorious world is in the hands of the emperor, they are really careless and fearless...
The emperor had such power. As the second assistant to the cabinet and the civil servant who controlled the government, Bi Ziyan was deeply worried.
A wise emperor who can act recklessly and is not subject to restraint can all things come at will. Isn’t it better to be a constrained monarch?
Bi Ziyan's brows were deeply tightened, and his eyes were worried.
Mr. Xixi looked at Bi Ziyan's expression and thought he was worried because of Wei Zhongxian. He said calmly, "Sir, you can just watch the matter of Wei Zhongxian. The most important thing you are to send the governors and governors of various provinces out of Beijing, and then sort out the government affairs, sort out the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries and localities, and steadily advance the 'new policy'..."
Bi Ziyan looked slightly stunned and looked up at Mr. Xixi in front of him. His words were a bit jumping. Then he suddenly understood. Whether he wanted to restrict the emperor from doing anything or clean up the mess, he needed power. Promoting the "new policy" is a great opportunity to reshape the cabinet, concentrate power, be justified and openly!
Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and nodded, "You are right. I'll go to see Master Sun now and discuss the promotion of the 'new policy'. Today, I will let the governors and governors of various provinces leave Beijing."
Xixi nodded with a smile, and then said cautiously, "Sir, Wei Zhongxian, you must take care of what you should do, and you must fulfill your responsibilities."
Bi Ziyan understood and sighed softly: "It is indeed not easy for ministers to govern the world. Go back and rest. There is always a vacant person in the Right Mansion of Shuntian Prefecture. This time I will recommend you to go."
Xixi's expression remained unchanged, and she said with neither joy nor sadness: "Thank you, Lord."
Bi Ziyan did not go to Fu Changzong's mansion again, and turned around and walked towards Sun Chengzong's mansion.
Sun Chengzong naturally received news that Zhu Xu had left the palace in advance and encountered an assassination not long ago.
He got up very early, stood in front of the eaves, quietly looking at the misty sky. I don’t know when it started, it started drizzling, adding a touch of coolness.
Sun Chengzong looked calm and had a book in his hand. He looked at the sky with a sensation.
"Father." Sun Qian quietly came to Sun Chengzong and said respectfully. He was Sun Chengzong's third son, and he was currently in the East Factory. He was transferred from the Jinyiwei when the Jinyiwei was "removed".
Sun Chengzong did not look back and said directly: "Did you know the news?"
Sun Qian said 'yes' and said, "The emperor did not deliberately conceal it, it should have been sent back on purpose."
"What do you think?" Sun Chengzong took his back, and he didn't know when it started, but his back was a little hunched.
Sun Qian knew what Sun Chengzong meant, thought about it seriously, and said, "The emperor is using Wei Zhongxian for the sake of the 'new policy'."
Sun Chengzong nodded, then sighed, saying, "There are not many people who can see clearly. The emperor is still too anxious after all, and he is walking too fast."
Sun Qian didn't quite understand, so he said, "Father, the whole capital is now trembling. I hope the cabinet can restrain Wei Zhongxian. Can you do it?"
Sun Chengzong looked up at the sky again and said, "The emperor is so anxious to leave the capital, do you know why now?"
Sun Qian was stunned and immediately responded: "I understand." There was only one person who could stop Wei Zhongxian. If that person left the palace, Wei Zhongxian would no longer have any scruples and the ministers could only stop him.
Sun Chengzong looked at the gradually brightening sky and said, "From now on, unless I go to court, I will always be closed to thank guests at other times, and no one will see you."
Before Wei Zhongxian could move, rumors spread everywhere in the capital, and all officials were worried that if he moved, he would be afraid that there would be no quiet.
Sun Qian was secretly shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes."
At the same time, Fu Changzong and Fu Tao also received the news. Fu Tao hurried over and said, "Father, how is the emperor? Is there anything wrong? Do you have to go back to Beijing immediately?"
Fu Changzong was drinking tea and said with a calm expression: "No need to worry, the emperor has always been cautious in his actions. This matter will not scare him and will not return to Beijing for the time being."
Fu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Their Fu family was bound to Zhu Xu. If something happened to the emperor or had no children, it would be a great crisis for them and might be fatal!
Fu Tao was still surprised and said, "Father, let's persuade the emperor to return to Beijing. Now the news has spread all over the place, and it will definitely be unsafe along the way."
Fu Changzong looked up at Fu Tao, and said with a sharp look on his face: "Say it again for your father. The emperor is no longer the same as before. It is not something you and I can persuade him casually. In the future, you must grasp the measure in front of the emperor. If you shouldn't say anything, you can't say another word!"
Fu Tao's expression changed and he said, "I remember, but why did the emperor leave the palace this time? Why are he so anxious?"
Fu Changzong turned around and looked outside and said lightly: "The emperor wants to carry out 'land reform', just know, don't say it out."
Fu Tao was stunned. The four words "land reform" echoed in his ears, but they were a little confused.
Zhou Yingqiu, Shen Yongmao, Yuan Keli and others all received news one after another, and each responded one by one, but they were not convinced.
At the same time, British Duke Zhang Weixian left the mansion from the back door and quietly came to the mansion of Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei.
Zhang Weixian looked solemn. As soon as he entered the secret room, he said in a deep voice, "What are the origins of those assassins? Why do they say that kind of words?"
Xu Wenjue looked as usual, pouring tea while saying, "Why do I ask me, how could I know?"
Zhang Weixian sneered, looked at him directly, and said, "Don't be a fool of everyone, especially the emperor! I dare to bet on my life, the emperor must have noticed it, just attracting it and not sending it out, just waiting for the opportunity..."
Xu Wenjue looked funny and said, "Why do you think I know? I have been obedient in the capital for the past few years. I have long lost contact with the nobles in Jiangnan. Don't slander it out of thin air..."
Zhang Weixian looked cold and said, "I can doubt you, the emperor must be fine. Xu Wenjue, if you want to die, I won't stop you. If I let me know the news, I will be the first to impeach you with the nobles in the world!"
Xu Wenjue looked up at him, and said with a sincere expression: "I do know some inside story, but it really has nothing to do with me. At most, I just know the information but don't report it."
"Will you report it if you know?" Zhang Weixian stared at Xu Wenjue's eyes. Seeing that he did not flicker, his face twitched slightly and said coldly: "It's best if this is the case. Now that the emperor is assassinated, the East Factory will definitely not let it go. He will definitely make a big fuss. You should know how to do it!"
Xu Wenjue took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "What our Duke of Wei is to stay out of the matter. If you want to get involved, just do not pull me."
Zhang Weixian knew Xu Wenjue's attitude, his eyes were cold, and he felt deeply afraid in his heart, and suddenly he lifted his foot and left.
It's really not a single step to say anything.
Xu Wenjue looked at Zhang Weixian leaving, with a cold expression and frowned.
He used to hold military power in Nanjing, and was equivalent to the British Duke in Beijing, and now he can only live here in a small place. What a humiliation!
In the east factory, Wei Zhongxian, who had been showing great enthusiasm in front of outsiders, was looking at the direction of the capital with ink.
He was the only one in the huge room. The glass beads in his hand slowly turned, making an unbearable sound like grinding teeth.
His expression was dark and he could not see any expression, but his chest was slightly ups and downs, and his fluctuating eyes still revealed his emotions.
"Your Majesty, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? I know, I always know... The thing you asked me to do is actually the grave dug for me. This grave has been dug for five years, deep enough, big enough, you want to bury me completely... But how could I be willing to let you cook it by sly rabbits and dogs..."
"I am not a king who trusts me. I will throw it away after I use it. If Emperor Xizong agreed to Zhang Yanyao to find someone to be a child to inherit the throne, there would be no such thing as today. However, it is still time today. I have not done anything for the past five years..."
"Is the palace really clean? Li Sizhong, why did you dare to let him control the imperial guards? Why did you dare to leave the palace for so long? Do you really have that great confidence..."
