19. What is the crime of slaughtering
Gao Yue of course refused the sincere invitation to the emperor.
He replied that I did not have the idea of seeking fame and being honest, but the Tongwan City has not yet been destroyed, so I still have to stay in Funing.
Soon the emperor's third edict that Gao Yue would enter the capital to be the prime minister.
Gao Yue continued to refuse.
The fourth time, the emperor said, "You, Wei Gao's portrait has already been on the Lingyan Pavilion, and Li Sheng, Ma Sui, Duan Xiushi leaned against me, all beside me (Derzong was a marshal of the world when he was young, and his portrait has been on the Lingyan Pavilion).
But Gao Yue still said that Your Majesty asked for another wise man, no, it was a talented man! If you are in the center, you may not be able to show your strengths. After pacifying Dangxiang, I retired to Lujiaozhuang Jingshu, Xingyuan Prefecture, and used poetry and books to hunt for yourself. After my death, the inscription only read "Gao Yue, the chief of the Imperial Camp of the Tang Dynasty."
The fifth, sixth and seventh times, the emperor's voice became more and more anxious.
Finally, it was the Hanlin scholar-in-law, who gave the emperor an idea. He said to Li Shi: "Since His Majesty's reign, Prime Ministers Yang Yan, Dou Shen, Qiao Lin were executed, Chang Gun, Lu Qi, Xiao Fu, Jiang Gongfu, Zhang Yanshang and others were relocated. It seems understandable that the Lord Qi did not want to come to the Central Secretariat to Pingzhang incident."
"What do you mean by Zhou?" The emperor was very dissatisfied.
However, the Duke of Wei said next that the seven times of the imperial edict, the Duke of Qi did not come, and I am afraid that only the secret edict could come.
When the emperor heard it was reasonable, the emperor said the words of the Ming Dynasty and verbally sued for a long time. However, the secret imperial edict represented my true and unquestionable thoughts, so he couldn't help but not come to his senior year!
At this time, the Hanlin Academy was also purged.
The fact that Wu Tongxuan married the niece of Li Ze of Guo as a concubine was exposed. The emperor was angry and said that a Hanlin scholar like Wu actually dared to "defil the daughter of the clan" and even demoted him to a concubine. He was immediately demoted. Later, he was still angry and sent a central official to follow him and killed Wu Tongxuan in the post station.
Wu Tongxuan's younger brother Wu Tongwei was so scared that he knelt in front of Guangshun's door all day long that he was waiting for his crimes, and he did not dare to wear mourning for his dead brother. In the end, Sima Chengzhen came to plead with mercy and talked about the emperor, so he deprived Wu Tongwei of all his official positions and was punished to be a slave in the Taoist temple.
Now the Hanlin Academy has taken Wei Zhiyi as the order, and Li Jifu and Duke Wei, the emperor has not yet summoned others in.
So the emperor asked Duke Wei to draft a secret decree and quickly sent it to Funing Village.
After receiving the secret edict, Gao Yue thought about it for a while, then called several confidants and said frankly: "I have to go to this capital."
Ming Huaiyi was impatient, "Mr. Qi, you must be the prime minister..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Yue raised his hand and signaled him not to continue, "It is difficult for me, the Prime Minister of Tang. The Holy Lord issued edicts seven times in a row, and it is really hard for me to push back, otherwise I would be suspected of being a gentleman."
After saying that, Gao Yue began to entrust the Qiangtun to whom, to whom the affairs of the three yamen, to whom the generals and camps. This made him seem like he was not planning to enter the capital Baima Xuan, but it seemed that he was entrusting his funeral, which made everyone look at each other and wonder why.
However, Gao Yue knew it in his mind that over the years, he had already known the way to deal with the emperor.
So he is confident that he can still escape unscathed this time.
While Gao Yue and Ban Hong were traveling, a letter came to the local inn in Funing. After Gao Yue opened it, he knew that his wife Yun Shao had given birth to a boy for him and was about to give him a name for his child.
Yun Shao seems to be a specialist in giving birth to a boy, this is the third one!
"Name? Now the traitor in the morning is full of traitors. The universe is clear and bright, so I'll name it Jiong, and my name is Keming." Gao Yue replied.
He thought that three sons and one daughter could be considered as having a prosperous family.
On the way to Chang'an, Ban Hong suddenly felt a cold. Although the illness was getting heavier, Duke Xiao was still in high spirits: he couldn't wait to re-in charge of the national economy of the three departments, and was preparing to rescue Xu Can and retaliate against Zhang Pang.
However, when he arrived at Zhongwei Bridge, Ban Hong was lying in the car and could no longer speak. Gao Yue held his hand. His cheeks were deep and his face turned red. He used his pen in a crooked manner. He wrote lines on a piece of paper with difficulty and handed them to Gao Yue.
"Refer to Xu Can's case, and Pei Yanling and Zhang Pang were abolished." This is what Ban Hong wrote.
It seems that Ban Hong wants to completely restore his political reputation by rehabilitating the case, even if his life is like a candle in front of the wind.
Ban Hong was destined to not see this day. On the third day after returning to Beijing, he died of illness in the house. The emperor immediately ordered the court to be suspended from the court and given it to the Shangshu Youpushe, with the posthumous title of "Jing".
Three days later, the emperor asked Gao Yue alone in Zichen's palace.
There was no one on the side, and even Lu Zhi was not there.
It can be said that this is an extremely important conversation between the emperor and Gao Yue after Dou Shen's death on the future policy direction of the country.
But although conversation is important, it is not heart-to-heart. It is full of back and forth.
Originally, the emperor wanted to "force" Gao Yue to accept the appointment of Ping Zhangshi, the minister of the disciple, in person, but Gao Yue took the lead in handing over the paper left by Ban Hong to the emperor.
"As long as you agree, I will immediately kill Pei Yanling, Zhang Pang, and rehabilitate Xu Can."
Who would have thought that Gao Yue clearly said to the emperor after a while: "Dou Shen is dead. If you pursue Pei again, Zhang's crimes are too extensive. I think it is unnecessary. Pei Ji is in charge of the branch office, Zhang Pang is in charge of the salt and iron office, Su Bian is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the three offices are separated to facilitate Your Majesty to understand the reality of the treasury."
The emperor coughed a few times, not letting his face show his expression, but in fact he was very satisfied with Gao Yue's answer.
As long as the prime minister takes charge of the national treasury, whether it is Yang Yan, Li Mi or Dou Shen, they are all pointing fingers at my inner treasury. The dispute between the national treasury and the inner treasury has never stopped. Now, after Pei Yanling has completely attached himself to me after he has released Dou Shen, it is really convenient to use it. I actually don’t want to find someone who is against me everywhere to replace it.
Anyway, Ban Hong is dead now, and the emperor is not afraid of offending someone dead because of this.
"Although Dou Shen deserves his crime, the next situation is very difficult. Please try to plan for me. Guandongfang Town has obviously had close contact with each other recently, as if he was preparing to discuss an explanation for Dou Shen. Although you are Chao Cuo, I will never be Emperor Jing of Han." The emperor meant that Dou Shen was the agent of Liu Xuanzuo, Li Na, Wu Shaocheng, and Tian Xu after all. If these Fang Zhen took advantage of Dou Shen's excuse of "unjust death" and wanted to "clear the emperor's side", then when the country was in danger, I would not betray you in the third year of high school.
But Gao Yue knew that this was just the emperor's temptation on himself.
"Dou Shen died, but the crime has not been announced in the world. If the crime is promulgated well, Guandongfang Town will lack an excuse to raise an army."
"Oh, then I'm convicted of the rebellion of Staff Dou, can I?"
"No."
"Dou Shen worships the evil god of Pucao at home, called him Brother Wu, and prays day and night to convict death, can he be?"
"No, either."
"Dou Shen instructed the two clans to accept bribes and hand over to the important town Jieshuai. Is that okay?"
"No, either."
"Who knows what you see?"
"Dou Shen's crime is to have an affair with Xifan."
"Yes, but Dou Shen really did not have the sin of Tongfan, how can the world convince the world?" The emperor was very surprised.
