The first thousand one hundred and thirty-eight chapters
"Call Qiu Yan back?"
After hearing this, let alone Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, even Meng Qingbin and others, together with Ma Yang and Wang Fu, they were extremely surprised. They did not expect that at this moment, the Empress Dowager could even think of Qiu Yan. ≈∞ top∞ dot∞ small∞ say, ww∽w.23○wx.co≦m
But then everyone had their own thoughts, especially Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, frowned. They finally mobilized Qiu Yan out, but happened to meet the emperor's return to heaven, which ended the attack on them. How could they take the initiative to lure the political enemy back and increase the opponent's artillery fire?
You should know that in this court, in addition to Qiu Yan, the new party led by Cen Bo and Wang Fu is also their political opponents and opponents. Over the past few days, the emperor has launched a storm to attack the marginal forces of the aristocratic families. The pushers and helpers are many members of the new party.
Now, the emperor suddenly returned, and the power situation was vacuumed. It was the time to get rid of the original dilemma and reverse the situation at the same time. It was not easy to compete with the current opponents at this time, so how could other enemies be introduced again?
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Yingyi didn't care about anything else and said directly: "For the sake of peace in the country, Shangshu Qiu went to recruit rebels. This matter is of great importance. Everyone in the world knows that if he recalls it rashly, he may cause trouble."
This can be said to be just right, and it not only takes care of the face of the empress dowager and the queen, but also takes the opportunity to turn things over and use your knowledge to awaken the empress dowager. It is best to maintain Qiu Yan's reputation, otherwise it will have a significant impact among the people. At the same time, it will use thieves and incidents to threaten and coerce. No matter from any perspective, it will force the person who proposes it to give up his plan.
However, if the person in charge this time is Li Kun, he will naturally be able to distinguish the urgency and see the huge impact. Retrieve it and become life.
Unfortunately, the one who hears these answers now is the empress dowager who is in charge of the harem and does not involve the government.
Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager was very majestic in the harem, and the emperor could not take care of many things, but he had to leave them to her for arbitration. Her grasp of people's hearts was also very exquisite. Although she did not understand the balance technique of the emperor, she was standing in the side hall at this time, looking at the expressions and reactions of many ministers to various situations, and from their positions and some words, the thoughts of these ministers could be seen.
"Sure enough, these ministers are pretty good at putting it on the surface, loyal to the emperor and patriotism. But to put it bluntly, they are still thinking about themselves. If they can get benefits, they will be loyal. If they endanger their power and interests, they will immediately have various righteous excuses to refute us. In the past, the emperor often complained to me. I also advised him to be patient and follow the ministers to govern the country. But now the emperor himself is in a desperate situation, and what these ministers think is still one acre of land in their own home!"
It is really hard to predict how much rational a mother who has lost her son still has. Just like Xu Yingyi, it is useless to just use normal logical thinking to imply and persuade.
Even due to the different understandings of consultation and information between the two parties, it will lead to cognitive biases that are difficult to bridge—
The specific manifestation in this matter is that the empress dowager knew that the emperor had resurrected from the dead and knew that Qiu Yan might have a way to help his son, but for Xu Yingyi, things were not the case at all. The last time the emperor was seriously ill, he was not even qualified to step into the palace easily.
Naturally, Xu Yingyi and Cai Que would not know that the Empress Dowager's attention to Qiu Yan was not based on political considerations, but wanted to let her help her son. As long as she could save her son, nothing else was important, and the person who stopped this matter was her enemy!
So Xu Yingyi, on the other side, was still waiting for the empress dowager to take back his life, but the next word from the empress dowager made the minister stunned: "Shu Qiu is the prince's teacher arranged by the emperor himself, and he mentioned his life in the future many times. Now that such a big thing happened, how could he not be present? The Ai family and others are all women and do not understand military and national affairs, but they also know that the candidates identified by the emperor will not be wrong."
Speaking of this, even if Xu Yingyi was willing to refute it, it would be difficult to speak, not to mention that he was not stupid. From these two passages by the Empress Dowager, we can hear that the lord of the harem did not trust him and others, but instead valued Qiu Yan, who was not in the capital.
"This is not a good sign, it's just strange. In the past, when we were behind the family, she did not show such irrational appearance when we negotiated with the Queen Mother. Why did she ignore it now?"
In order to plan the situation where the emperor returns to heaven, the great families of aristocratic families have long set their sights on the harem. Now the prince is not young, but it is obviously not realistic to take power immediately. It can be predicted that for a long time in the future, the chances of the harem being left behind are quite high. How can people from the visionary family not take advantage of their advantages? But now it seems that no matter how big the layout is, it cannot be as good as the mood.
Faced with the empress dowager's firm tone, Xu Yingyi naturally had no way to refute it. Although he could use the imperial decree as an excuse to prevent the empress dowager from interfering in politics, the problem is that this is an extraordinary time and the time for power transfer. The position of the emperor is empty, so naturally he needs a symbolic representative of the royal family. There is no way to refute it in terms of etiquette and law. Otherwise, Xu Yingyi would not have to worry about it, and Ma Yang would be the first to jump out to stop it.
At this time, he promised Ying to come forward, but he would not get a good reputation, and to leave a bad impression on the empress dowager. His previous layout and management were immediately destroyed, and even the many aristocratic families behind him would offend him, which would shake his foundation. Therefore, he could not continue to stop him. However, in this way, he had to watch Qiu Yan, who was finally being sent away, return to Beijing at this checkpoint.
He had already captured the eagerness from the tone of the empress dowager, knowing that once this decree was spread, it would inevitably urge Qiu Yan to come back quickly, and many layouts would be messy at that time.
But these things naturally cannot be told to the Empress Dowager. In desperation, Xu Yingyi had to obey and said that after returning, he would issue a decree with the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, so that Qiu Yan would return quickly.
However, at this last moment, he saw Cai Que wink at him, as if he had something to say.
The next thing is not something that the ministers like them can easily grasp. Everything must be done according to the rules and procedures of the Emperor Daxing. Even the empress dowager is willing to slow down the news, and it is not easy to intervene directly, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the ancestors and the ancestral system.
Then, the prince, who was in sorrow, also came forward to meet the ministers one by one. After that, although the empress dowager wanted to stop him, she still could not let the ministers avoid entering the palace.
There are many troubles, and the east sky has turned white.
The ministers who had not been asleep all night had no intention of resting. Even Ma Yang and Zhang Lian, who were not young, left the palace with their bloodshot eyes and rushed to various yamen directly with Meng Qingbin and others.
There were pairs of eyes waiting in the city earlier. They were all people who felt something. How could the palace's act of summoning important officials overnight escape the gaze of countless eyes in the city? Anyone who has a little bit of awareness of the sensitivity to changes in the officialdom knows that this move is extraordinary.
Recalling the many changes in the court over the past period of time, many people have speculated, some wondered whether the emperor had been planning for a long time and had made up his mind to attack several of the leaders in the court, while the other group of people have speculated considering the emperor's recent physical condition.
In any case, for the time being, they could not get specific information. Even the princes, after discovering the signs, asked to enter the palace again, but were blocked outside the palace. The storm five years ago made Li Kun very alert to the royal family and other royal families. In the past few years, the corresponding regulations have been improved and there have been strict restrictions on the prince's entry into the palace and traveling on weekdays. They will no longer be as easy as before. This time the emperor returned to heaven, but they cannot take the opportunity to cause trouble.
This royal family was unable to enter the palace, and as soon as many ministers left the palace, they went straight to their respective yamen. The source of the news was invisibly blocked. In a limited time, the news that the emperor returned to heaven was blocked.
But it is only a matter of time before it is actually leaked. What's more, these ministers are not united, so how can they really keep the news for how long? So it is only a matter of time before it is leaked.
However, before it is completely exposed, for many people, it is an opportunity to play. If the arrangement is well, the benefits will be great, so you can imagine.
"Brother Cai, we need to arrange people for this matter. We will immediately inform the five families of the noble families and let their staff in the court cooperate with us."
Before entering the Political Affairs Hall, Xu Yingyi and Cai Que deliberately slowed down and whispered after the ministers.
Cai Que nodded and responded.
Xu Yingyi asked again: "In the side palace in the palace, Brother Cai, you told me to be calm and not to be impatient. I don't know what it was? Should that person come back? In this way, wouldn't our previous arrangement be in vain? As far as I know, the person was not at ease along the way, and he actually made a lot of noise."
Cai Que naturally knew who the person involved in this sentence was. Hearing this, he said, "Brother Xu, you are concerned, but it's not your fault. No one would have thought that something happened to the emperor at this time. However, Brother Xu, you can think about it. Letting that person come back at this time will certainly put pressure on us, but for him, it may not be a good thing."
"Hmm?" Xu Ying was stunned and narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean..."
