Chapter thirty-ninth, the inside story of the contradiction
The real origin of the matter comes from Shangguan Guojiu being too capable, having extraordinary holy relatives, and having great power.
When Chu Yunfeng said it, he did not avoid the above conclusions and was sure that he was telling the truth.
"Everyone in the capital knows that the sages of the uncle from his Shangguan family have produced talents from generation to generation, and they are all brave people."
If it weren't for this kind of origin, Taifu Yu wouldn't have stared at the uncle and refused to relax.
"On the day last year, the Grand Tutor asked me to go over and tell me about the flood outside the capital. The Grand Uncle proposed that four people were capable officials who controlled the water, and the Grand Uncle's intention was to re-emphasize."
"Application?" Chu Yunqi frowned: "What mistakes did these four people make?"
"Loushan, a treasury official from the Ministry of Revenue, was removed from the crime of corruption; Yu Wang, a county magistrate from other provinces, was charged with corruption; Jiang Liang, a county magistrate from other provinces, had his mother died and asked his colleagues to report it; Fan Tang, was charged with corruption."
Chu Yunqi thought to himself: "Shangguan Guojiu can firmly sit in the position of Taishi, but he will not be an ordinary talent. Three of the four people are corrupt, and the other one is not worried. It is hard to say that they are also greedy for money and officials. But he still wants to use it, there is always a reason for this."
"Oh! If I had written a letter to ask you last year, I might not have fallen to this point." Shangshu Chu looked very sad.
Seeing that he was very upset, Chu Yunqi was worried about him that the officialdom had not bowed down, but the hearts of the people collapsed first. He deliberately smiled slightly to make the atmosphere in the room relaxed. Thinking about it, he found a reasonable reason for Chu Yunfeng.
"If anyone who becomes the Minister of Personnel will be like the third brother, he will not agree to Shangguan Guojiu as a criminal official. Unless the uncle has a reason to make a move."
Shangshu Chu frowned, and seemed to have not let these words go away much. He continued to say in a frustrated voice: "Shangguan Guogong gave a reason in front of the emperor. The flood last year was rare in a century and it was affected by disasters for hundreds of miles. From now on, it has not been cleaned up for a year, until it encountered heavy rain again this year, and the water surged again, and it was still suffering from disasters. Alas, how could I know it was so serious last year? The uncle's original words at that time said that officials needed to deal with the disaster."
Chu Yunqi focused on his mind: "Is there no other official to be sent? Oh, the flood last year was rare in a century, and the number of people needed is more than in previous years."
Staring at Chu Yunfeng seriously: "In my opinion, if the uncle is willing to provide a guarantee, it is not impossible to use it."
The eldest master, the second master and the fourth master couldn't help but interrupt: "Teacher Yu has something to say..." When he found that the words were colliding, the three brothers were stunned and looked at Chu Yunfeng with a wink, and the three brothers were silent again.
The original words of Taifu Yu were heard by Chu Yunfeng, or by Shangshu Chu, there would be no shortage of words and no wrong tone.
"Teacher Yu asked me to go and told me that the more serious it was, the more careful I would be to take the opportunity to slap my confidant."
Chu Yunqi was funny: "It turns out to be a cautious person."
Mr. Yu had said a lot of things like this before. Chu Yunfeng sighed: "I was not relieved. The flood was short of staff. I was busy dispatching officials and didn't go back to my home for several days. The teacher said, but I didn't think much about it, so I blocked these four people from my case."
"Later, the disaster area became more and more serious. The censors were caught in chaos. The impeachment here was not effective all day long, otherwise the dispatch was not effective. The emperor suffered an old illness when he was anxious and entrusted all the state affairs to his uncle and Taifu Yu. The Taifu said to me,"
Chu Yunqi was already unhappy: "What did he say again? Or should he be careful of his uncle?"
"Yes, Shangguan Guojiu has done all his knowledge of civil and military affairs. The Taifu has spent a lot of energy to restrain him." When Shangshu Chu said this, his expression became more and more uncomfortable, and his voice became darker: "But I didn't expect that the Taifu would be so cautious that he would not believe me."
"Is something wrong again?" Chu Yunqi asked.
"I went to Beijing like snowflakes in other provinces, although it did not imply that I was, several people proposed the charter and suggested that they have appointed criminal officials who had treated water. I was very careful, for fear that it would be the revenge of the uncle. When I interact with the uncle on official business, I should check it three times, and three times, and five times. The person recommended by the uncle is not innocent, so I will never use it."
Shangshu Chu stared at the ancient shelf on the wall, but his thoughts returned to the day he didn't want to think about.
"Shangguan Guojiu is always braver than others in employment. He uses talents in a straightforward manner. He is very content with his own talents. He thought I was right to stop him. However, a good news suddenly came from the palace and the empress had it."
"Teacher Yu has known it for a long time?" Chu Yunqi grasped the key point.
Shangshu Chu said depressedly: "Yes, at that time I realized that the teacher hadn't said anything to me privately for a while. The uncle of the country was strong and the teacher was weak. I did not discover in time that the uncle had taken over the court for a while. Besides, the uncle had taken over too much, and if he didn't think about it carefully, he would not notice the difference. Because I blocked too much, he obviously became the political enemy of the uncle."
"Next, the uncle of the country formally asked me to talk, and put blatant pressure on me to call on the officials who listed his name."
Chu Yunqi interrupted Shangshu's cousin: "With the third brother's official position and the third brother's official voice, the emperor is ill and unable to manage political affairs. Judging from the past of the uncle, Yu Taifu is here, so the uncle cannot openly conspire to murder the third brother. In my opinion, he can only test you."
After hesitating a little, he knew that Chu Yunfeng would suffer, but Chu Yunqi still said: "Your Highness, who is pregnant with the Empress."
Chu Yunqi received a letter asking for help, and Empress Shangguan had not yet given birth. The queen gave birth to a boy or a daughter, and did she help the country's uncle? The reason why Chu Yunqi didn't ask at the beginning was that he had already entered Beijing, and it would be better to start the whole thing. But now he doesn't need to ask, the expressions of the four brothers of the Chu family have leaked the truth.
Queen Shangguan gave birth to a boy.
Shangshu Chu was very distressed: "It seems natural for me to strengthen the power of the future prince. But I don't know, teacher, he often goes to the palace to visit the emperor, so that the emperor can reply in time when he is awake. He must..."
"The Taifu must have known that in front of the case of the murder of the imperial heir in the previous dynasty, it was not that someone in the palace would look at the fetal image and see in advance whether it was a man or a woman, and he had given an abortion medicine." Chu Yunqi said coldly.
Shangshu Chu hugged his head with both hands, and said something incoherently: "Yes, but he didn't say it..."
"With the temper of the Taifu, he cannot say that there is no news in the palace. Otherwise, if the news leaks, will he blame you or yourself? With the Taifu's character, he has been guarding against Shangguan Guojiu for a long time. He told the third brother clearly that he was afraid that the third brother would show goodwill to the uncle from now on. He would not kill two birds with one stone. The empress's fault has nothing to do with him, and he can use the third brother's hand to continue to guard against Shangguan Guojiu."
Shangshu Chu was a little broken and murmured: "The Empress gave birth to a boy... The Emperor and the Empress are loving... Will be crowned the prince... The uncle has used some strange business to attack me these days. What should I do?"
