Chapter 227 No lower limit!
During the Queen's funeral, the court did not hold a grand ceremony. The ministers had to keep mourning and handle official duties. They were so busy that they could not afford to go to court to have time to play.
Qin Rui was idle, but because of Xue Shao's death, as a relative and comrade, he naturally had to do his best, so he could only let Cheng Qizhi and others take the flying cavalry and Zuo Yingyang Guard return to the base in Xijing first.
I originally thought that after finishing Xue Shao's funeral, I immediately returned to Chang'an, but Fengge issued a notice to him that he would also attend tomorrow's grand ceremony first, so the itinerary had to be delayed again.
On the way to court, Qin Rui felt very strange. There were more people on the street today than often, and they seemed to be very busy, and they were in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
Qin Rui is a soldier and has been struggling on the battlefield all year round. He is naturally much more sensitive to the things around him than ordinary people. However, because of the time issue, he can only comfort himself. It is because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the people come out to buy New Year’s goods.
When it was time for the Golden Palace, almost everyone had entered. Wang Xiaojie, who was in the military squad, waved to him. Qin Rui's mouth slightly raised, took out the tablet and walked over.
"Brother Xiaojie, what kind of day is this? People gather together, and the generals of the North and South yamen seem to have come." After glanced back and forth, Qin Rui leaned against Wang Xiaojie and said in a low voice.
"More than that, you didn't look carefully at the back. All the civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing were in place, and there were many, which was more lively than the palace banquets of the Shangyuan Festival in previous years!"
"As for what to say, it's really hard to say. Brother, I just heard it, but I just didn't know that it was true. It just so happened that your brother was turning his head quickly. Please advise!"
According to Wang Xiaojie, some said that the empress dowager would change the position of prime ministers; some said that during the national mourning, Concubine Cui had good control over the harem and could be promoted to the throne of queen; some even said that they would offer auspiciousness to the court, but there were a variety of people and said that they would say that they would have everything.
"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Now the years are different from before. We can't tell which one is accurate. Anyway, it's more likely that it will happen."
"Brother, tell me what happened to the court recently. It's okay if you keep funerals. You're still making it so tense to the west and the north. Don't worry, just keep it clean."
"Forget it, Brother Xiaojie, just take care of our own acre of three-point land. I really can't afford it with those who jump up and down."
Just as Qin Rui and Wang Xiaojie were whispering to the idle chapter, Emperor Li Dan actually walked up from behind and sat steadily on the dragon throne, which surprised everyone. The emperor had not been in court for a long time.
But just as the ministers were suspicious, the emperor came up to shock the ministers, and said, "Wu Chengsi was the left prime minister of Wenchang, and Wei Daijing was the right prime minister of Wenchang. Wu Sansi Shou Nayan and the Shangshu of the Heavenly Office were the ministers, and he used his three men to command all officials and handle military and national affairs.
Hearing this imperial edict, the sighs of the ministers and the officials were heard endlessly. Qin Rui heard it clearly below. The great sorrow was the death of his heart. The Li family's children were willing to make a fortune. No matter how anxious they were, they would be rats.
After the three of them thanked the emperor, the censor Fang Ji was sentenced to impeachment: the left son of the East Palace - Prince Anle - Li Guangshun, and the crown prince Xianma - King Yong - Li Guangren. Since his father was punished and killed, the empress dowager could not bear to fall into the people, so he specially ordered his grandson to educate the palace.
But these two kings did not want to repay His Majesty and the Empress Dowager's kindness. They were resentful and often told others that the hen was in charge of the morning. The ignorant king ruined the country and criticized the emperor and the empress dowager. They had no king or father, and were unfaithful and unfilial. They were the first ungrateful wolf-hearted wolf-hearted son of the Li clan clan.
As the saying goes, a prince breaks the law and the common people. If the two kings are so betrayal, the emperor should no longer protect it. He should deal with it according to the law to serve as a warning.
As soon as Fang Ji said this, there was a rumor of discussion when the court was in a neutral state. Li Guangshun and Li Guangren were just teenagers who had been imprisoned in the palace. Even if they had official positions and titles, they were still empty and could not contact foreign ministers at all. Isn’t Fang Ji talking lies with his eyes open!
If you have resentment, how can you not? The two little princes are Li Dan's punching bags. As soon as he suffered a grievance from the empress dowager, he would vent his anger on his two nephews and often blame them. Anyone who is familiar with the imperial doctor knows this.
At this point, the ministers all thought that Li Dan was a mean and polite person. You should know that when Li Xian was alive, he took care of his young brother in every possible way. He held it in his hand and fell it, and was afraid that it would melt when he held it in his mouth.
Now, Li Dan has become the emperor. Even if he does not have real power and is a puppet, he is still an emperor with endless wealth and honor. He can't tolerate two children. It's really unreasonable to treat his two nephews so harshly.
That's right, all the officials and workers are right. Li Dan was obsessed with the eyes of them, and immediately followed Fang Ji's words and scolded his two nephews as ungrateful people. It would be fine if he misunderstood him, but he even criticized the Queen Mother, which was really unforgivable.
Therefore, Li Dan thought that these two kings were not worthy of being the emperor's grandson, the emperor's nephew, and even more worthy of being the children of the Li family. He ordered Zongzheng Temple to immediately take down the two kings and be whipped until the unfilial descendants were beaten to death.
Damn, Li Dan is so crazy that he actually wants to kill his nephew and express his loyalty to the Empress Dowager, and in front of all the ministers and ministers of the court. This behavior is even better than that of the foolish monarchs of all dynasties.
Qin Rui just stepped out and was about to give advice, but Wang Xiaojie next to him grabbed him from below, shook his head firmly, signaling Qin Rui not to meddle in other people's business.
Qin Rui can ignore other things, but this matter is different. Prince Zhang Huai's third son, Prince Jian, was killed long ago, and there are only two sons and one daughter. If Li Dan kills them today, Li Xian, a virtuous gentleman, will be defeated.
Moreover, it was his younger brother who did this. In this way, the face of the Li royal family was completely wiped out in front of the people of the world. This action reminded people of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, where Taizong killed Prince Yin and the family of King Qi; Gaozong created an unjust case and forced the King of Wu and others together with Changsun Wuji.
Everything can be one or two, but not another. The Li royal family has been tragically killed by each other and fought with each other for generations. How can such a royal family, such an emperor, and such a mercy, be convinced by the subjects of the world?
"Brother Xiaojie, Rui knows that you have good intentions, but as a minister, Rui must say it!"
"Brother, you don't think about it. He's so crazy. Can he listen to you?"
Wang Xiaojie had just finished speaking in a low voice, and Qin Shandao in front of him took advantage of the constant attention of everyone on the Emperor and Fang Ji, who were talking endlessly, and they also squeezed over.
"Baby, I told you that you are not allowed to go out. He is crazy. The Qin family cannot be buried with him! Look at so many ministers who are ready to go, and you will find out immediately today."
After Qin Shandao finished speaking, he asked Qin Rui to look around and see the reactions of the ministers. Some of his bad tempers were already cursing quietly below. The new two prime ministers and Na Yan turned a deaf ear and pretended to be dumb, completely pretending to be unheard. Isn't this the same situation?
