Chapter 319 How to get rid of Xiao Yi
"What do you think when I saw that the court officials were extremely fierce like hungry wolf?"
The grand dynasty meeting has ended.
Empress Dowager Tao and the new emperor Xiao Chengyi, mother and son sat face to face, saying it was a chat, but in fact it was a very serious conversation.
The new emperor, Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi, looked displeased and his anger was unhappy. "What's wrong with me? The court officials shouted at me to fight and kill me, which was clearly to kill me. The royal family members ignored me and watched the show silently. What's their attitude? Do they also hope to see me unlucky?"
Bang!
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi was fisting on the small table, the teacup was vibrating and jumping, and a few drops of tea splashed on the table.
Mei Shaojian lifted the teapot and added tea, and took the opportunity to wipe off the water stains on the table with his sleeves.
Everything is so natural and smooth.
The eunuchs around Xiao Chengyi were obviously not as good as Mei Shaojian, and were not as eye-catching as Mei Shaojian and could do things.
A small detail shows that the people around the new emperor Xiao Chengyi still need to experience and have a lot of experience.
Empress Dowager Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "You arranged for the eunuchs to provide disaster relief, and it was good to set out for the sake of the victims. I can understand it. However, your actions have hurt the interests of the court officials and even the interests of the royal family.
You blame the royal family for not standing up and talking to you, just because you passed them and gave the errands to the eunuchs in the palace. What is errands, do you understand?"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi frowned and said nothing.
Empress Dowager Tao said slowly: "The so-called errands are power and interests. Just having an official position and no errands is just a human seal, so there is no authority or interests at all. Reliefing on the victims seems like a hard work, but it is undeniable that this is an important errand.
Such an important job, you actually gave it to the eunuchs in the palace. Not only did you steal the jobs of the court officials, but you also rob their interests and authority. There are one things, and there are two things, and there are three things. If you don't stop this time, you will continue to hand over the eunuchs in the palace next time. This is not something that court officials and royal family members are happy to see.
Like this incident, if you don’t trust the court officials, you can hand over the errands to the royal family. They will stand by your side and support you, go on a war for you, and fight with the court officials. However, if you don’t need the court officials or the royal family, you can’t blame the court officials for criticizing you, the royal family is indifferent to you.”
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth, "Do I even have the authority to appoint my own people?"
Queen Mother Tao put down the teacup, "Of course you can use your own people, but you have to grasp the right position. Don't forget that you have just ascended the throne, and everyone is waiting to see your performance and weigh your weight.
But at this time, the military battle situation exploded. Do you think someone would take the opportunity to say that this is a punishment of heaven? What is a punishment of heaven? I believe you know better than this palace. You definitely don’t want to face this scene.
But your appointment of eunuchs at this time will only make things worse. In order to restore the situation, you have to win over the court officials and the royal family. In the future, a year or two, the situation will ease, and it will not be too late for you to appoint eunuchs again. You are just too anxious."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi lowered his eyes and kept silent, drinking tea dryly.
Empress Dowager Tao saw his appearance and couldn't help but sigh, "The position of the emperor is not that easy to sit in. Otherwise, your father would not be so angry and forced to... Alas... someone came to recall Luo Xiaonian and the others. All the disaster relief matters will be handed over to the Shaofu."
Mei Shaojian looked at Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi, but when he saw that the other party did not respond, he bowed to accept the order.
Empress Dowager Tao waved her hand and sent out the palace servants in the hall.
She enlightened him, "In all dynasties, few emperors can live to the age of obedience. Do you know why? The answer is right in front of you, which is everything you have encountered today. If you want to live a few more years, you have to be more open-minded, don't be sulky, and don't take the nonsense of court officials to heart."
"Those are not nonsense, those words are the truth of the court officials. They look down on me. I just appoint eunuchs. They want to kill me, and they want to take this opportunity to defeat me as a foolish and insane monarch. This is a great rebellion, and it is equivalent to rebellion!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi was full of voices, full of anger.
Empress Dowager Tao looked at him, "Then what? What can you do? Can you dismiss all the court officials and let them go home? Don't forget that from the local area to the court, they are under the control of these aristocratic officials.
Even though you are the emperor, you actually don’t have the whole world. Without the cooperation of these aristocratic officials, your imperial edict would not even be out of the palace. Your father endured humiliation and burdened him for more than ten years before he dared to fight with the aristocratic family. As a result, he lost a lot and even paid his life. How much do you think you are better than your father?”
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi's face was pale, unwilling to accept, and his anger rose.
Empress Dowager Tao advised him: "Let's think about it! The important thing now is not to fight against the aristocratic family, but to find out the truth about the explosion of the military battle, solve the Wuheng royal court, and solve the rebels. After these things are solved, you will look back and have different ideas at that time."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath, "Will the mother let me compromise?"
"It's me who compromises for you! I will do this kind of job of giving in to you. But you can't be too tough, take your time and don't be anxious."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi laughed at himself, "I never thought that as the emperor, I would live so depressed. It would be better to be a prince when I was able to close the door and drink to drown my sorrows without caring about the impeachment of the censors. Now, I can't even drink to relieve my boredom. If I dare to drink today, a large number of ministers will give me advice tomorrow, as if I am a fool."
Empress Dowager Tao looked at him with distress, "This is the imperial power, this is the throne. You have to adapt sooner or later."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth, "I will adapt to all this!"
He will not compromise forever, nor will he be so cowardly and incompetent forever.
At this time, the palace servant reported that Zheng Gang, the Jinwu, asked for a meeting.
"It seems that there is news about the investigation, please come in." Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi rarely smiled.
As long as things go, it's good!
Zheng Gang, the Jinwu, walked into the hall and bowed.
"No gift! Zheng Aiqing found out what clues did he find? Is there any clues about the explosion of the military battle?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the explosion was seriously injured, and the military war situation was almost completely killed or injured. And many people said that everything was normal that day, no strangers came in and out, and no abnormal situations occurred. On the surface, this was an accident. However, the Weishi investigated in depth and found something strange from the family of the military war situation craftsman."
"What's wrong? Come quickly." Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi was very anxious.
If the explosion was man-made, then who designed it all and what was the purpose?
Is someone planning a rebellion?
Is anyone going to fight him?
Therefore, he attached great importance to the investigation results of the accident.
Zheng Gang, the craftsman of Jinwu, said: "Wang Lao Han, the craftsman who burned the blast furnace, found that his wife and children committed suicide on the day of the explosion. The second question was suspicious. Wu Blacksmith, a master of military affairs, suddenly broke his leg twenty days ago and died of illness. This is suspicious."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi asked anxiously: "Is there anything else?"
Zheng Gang, Zhijinwu, was a little guilty, "I am incompetent, and I haven't found any other suspicious points yet."
"Continue to investigate in depth and be sure to find out the problem here. No matter who is involved, I will make the decision for you, just arrest you. In any case, you must find out the matter as soon as possible. Who designed the explosion and what is the purpose!"
"I accept the order!"
Zheng Gang, Zheng responded loudly, his eyes were excited, and he took the order to retreat.
He wants to handle a major case, a major case that shocked the world.
...
"It must be someone who is rebelling against me! It's not too late, but when I first ascended the throne, an explosion occurred. The scope of the incident was so wide and the casualties were so heavy. If you catch this person, I will kill the nine clans."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for this explosion, the courtiers wouldn't have the chance to sing against him, and they would dare to criticize him in person.
The root of everything is in this explosion.
Empress Dowager Tao frowned, "Calm down first! Do you really think this explosion was artificial?"
"Does the mother think the explosion was an accident?" Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi couldn't believe it, and seemed unable to accept that the mother was not standing on his side.
Empress Dowager Tao frowned slightly, and did not say much, but just reminded: "You must be careful! If it is done by man, this matter will definitely not be simple."
"I know, thank you for my mother's concern. The Southern Army has arrived in the capital. When the Southern Army returns to Beijing, I will order the Southern Army to be stationed in the capital. With the Southern Army here, no matter how evil spirits and monsters are there, I will not be able to make waves."
But Empress Dowager Tao said: "The Southern Army is about to return to Beijing, and I have something to do now. Replace Xiao Yi!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi understood in seconds, "What will the mother plan to deal with Xiao Yi?"
Empress Dowager Tao's face darkened, "It's natural to kill someone. He must pay for his life. He must pay the price to kill your second uncle. The late emperor protects him, but you cannot protect him. Xiao Yi's wolfish ambitions are to be careful of being retaliated against by him!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi considered it, "Okay, this matter will be based on the mother's wishes. I will issue an order tomorrow that Xiao Yi can come to the capital to meet the saint. I will reward him in person."
Empress Dowager Tao shook her head, "Xiao Yi is very cunning. If you issue an order to him, he may be suspicious and have another accident. Just ask the Ministry of War to urge him to return to Beijing quickly and do everything in business."
"My mother is worried that he will escape? He is an official appointed by the court. Without an imperial edict, how dare he leave without authorization? That is the crime of deceiving the king and is to be beheaded."
"He even dares to kill your second uncle. Will he be afraid of the crime of deceiving the king? Don't think of him as pure and kind. He has never been a good person! The crime of deceiving the king is as ordinary as drinking water and eating. Forget it, I'm just taking care of this matter myself."
Empress Dowager Tao was full of revenge and wanted to cut Xiao Yi into pieces.
But he was afraid of being a mouse.
I have to think of a way to ensure that Xiao Yi jumped into the pit.
