Chapter two hundred and forty-ninth vertical and horizontal
Xie Chuan followed the instructions of the King of Jin and wrote quickly. While he was writing, Huang Ting brought the food over and gave one to Du Lan in the corridor. The rest were moved into the study.
King Jin and Xie Zhou ate first. Xie Chuan then finished writing and handed the bamboo paper to King Jin. While King Jin looked at it carefully, he ate in a hurry.
The King of Jin took up his pen and read it carefully, supplemented what he said in the palace, read it twice more, and asked Xie Zhou to seal it up.
After Xie Chuan finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, washed his hands, and asked: "Who on the Yushitai does the prince intend to send the letter to?"
King Jin said: "I haven't thought of it yet."
Xie Chuan thought carefully: "I have several candidates, one is Fang Weichun, one is Liu Fengzeng, and the other is Sun Yan. Among these three, I think Fang Weichun is the most suitable."
Liu Feng was once a good friend of Xie Chuan, and Sun Yan was famous for writing letters of remonstrance even when he was looking for trouble. Neither of them would protect the Zhang family if they got the letters.
But the one with the hardest bones is Fang Weichun.
When Jin Shang wanted to make Concubine Zhang Guifei the queen, many Taiwan remonstrators wrote to dissuade her. There was an endless stream of remonstrances, and Jin Shang's attitude was wavering. In the end, Fang Weichun became impatient. In a summons, in front of the three Taiwan remonstrators,
In front of me, I asked him directly: Do you still want to let someone be the regent again?
Jinshang changed his face at that time, and therefore did not let Zhang Guifei become the queen. Zhang Pei hated this person deeply and framed her many times.
But when Empress Dowager Pei was there, she once said that if Tai Jian can speak freely, it will be a sign of He Qing and Hai Yan. If Tai Jian dares to speak, can speak well, and can speak up, he can supervise everyone in high positions, but it is also easy to offend others, so he must not
Tai Jian cannot be allowed to be convicted for his words, otherwise Tai Jian will not dare to write another letter, and the monarch and his ministers will act recklessly, which will be a sign of the destruction of the country.
Although I hate Empress Dowager Pei today, since Empress Dowager Pei said the word "subjugation of the country", he has to follow it to avoid losing the country in his own hands.
Fang Weichun was able to stay in Yushitai, but Zhang Pai used other methods to silence him. It is said that Fang Weichun's family could not even afford rice for a month.
Fang Weichun was also a tough guy. He took off his official uniform in front of Jin Shang, revealing the patched clothes underneath. He bluntly said that the Zhang family was retaliating and the country would be destroyed. Jin Shang was dumbfounded. After that, the Zhang family did not dare to act rashly again.
Indeed, Fang Weichun is the most suitable.
King Jin nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "How about Liu Baoqi?"
After hearing the name, Xie Chuan thought for a moment, clasped his hands together and clapped hard: "Wonderful, how could I forget this person?"
Xie Zhou asked: "Liu Baoqi? Who is it?"
Xie Chuan said: "He is Wan Youyu's grandson."
The prime minister and the deputy prime minister have always been held by two people with different political views and different factions. Wan Youyu was the deputy prime minister who participated in political affairs and was not a Zhang faction. After the death of Empress Dowager Pei, he repeatedly disagreed with Prime Minister Zhang on political views and also with Mr. Zhang.
This was contrary to Jin Shang's wishes and made Jin Shang unhappy. Later he was accused of treason and his house was confiscated. He himself was hanged in prison.
Liu Baoqi was enlightened by Wan Youyu, and the two had a deep relationship with each other. But what is strange is that Liu Baoqi did not defend Wan Youyu. There were rumors that he had no friendship, and he did not defend himself.
When the King of Jin was sixteen years old, Liu Baoqi encountered a locust plague in Zhizhou on Qinfeng Road. He had no money to provide relief, and the transportation department was left with nothing. Finally, the King of Jin secretly helped him with 30,000 taels, and he wrote a letter to thank him.
After that, he returned to Kyoto and entered the Yushitai. He acted impartially and never participated in gossip. Today, the emperor has always trusted his advice.
When the King of Jin came to Beijing, he did not come to visit him, but only asked someone to send him a blank letter of remonstrance.
He had an old grudge against the Zhang family, and the King of Jin was kind to him. Compared with Fang Weichun's stubbornness, he was obviously a better candidate.
With this choice, nothing goes wrong.
Xie Chuan sealed the letter tightly, walked to the corridor and handed it to Du Lan, telling Du Lan that it must be handed over to Liu Baoqi.
Du Lan asked Liu Baoqi where he lived, hid the letter in his arms, and swaggered out of the palace with the "Beijing" Imperial Guards' token hanging around his waist. He walked very confidently - the Imperial Guards had three yamen, and there were many people who didn't know each other.
, as long as he doesn't run in front of several commanders and Du Yuhou, he won't be afraid of being discovered.
After arranging this important event, King Jin took a sip of hot tea and continued to think about tomorrow's countermeasures: "Even if Su Ting and Zhang Guifei are involved in Tai Jian, today they will just punish themselves with three cups of tea. But
The palace is without two guards, so we can't let it go. Although Uncle Pei is not in the capital, I remember that he has a son. Xiaoba quietly went to Pei's palace and asked them to choose two brave sons to come out and prepare to join the Imperial Army."
Xie Chuan nodded: "Who do you plan to find to talk to me today?"
"Let's find Prince Dongyang," King Jin pondered for a moment, "Prince Dongyang is also ten years old. Let him learn from Bo Zhi Luan Guo and teach Lao Si. Not only must he teach, but his majesty must also hear it.
"
The fourth child is the Prince of Tongyi County, and the third child is the Prince of Dongyang County. The two unlucky guys have been living in the shadow of King Yan and Concubine Zhang all year round. They are "extremely knowledgeable" and know everything about crawling on the ground, swimming in water, and jumping from trees.
, what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten is a treasure trove of treasures. Nine of the ten orifices are understood, but the knowledge in the book cannot be understood at all.
Taking advantage of the current encouragement of their fatherly love for the King of Jin, the two of them finally got the guidance of academic officials. However, they were enlightened too late. They have not even finished reading "Book of History", let alone "Book of Han". The King of Jin is like them.
When he was growing up, Queen Mother Pei had already asked him to read "The Precepts of the Three Dynasties".
Xie Chuan also smiled when he thought of these two conjoined princes: "Only Huang Du knows about this."
If you want to enter the palace to send a message, you have to go to the Xiaohuang Gate. Although Huang Tingren is not in the inner court, he is actually a member of the inner court. He knows best who to send the message to.
Huang Ting said quickly: "It's not hard to do things for the prince, I will do it right now."
After saying that, he left, went out and told his two apprentices to serve the prince, changed his clothes, and went to find a place for the chamberlain to stay outside the palace.
King Jin looked at the sky and saw that the fourth watch was approaching. He stopped sleeping and said to the Xie family and his son: "Du Lan said Huiyue took the letter and took it with her. Now she is asleep and we are waiting here.
It's useless, you go to the check-in room and rest, I'll have someone call you after the morning session."
The Xie family's father and son got up and went to the duty room to rest, but King Jin was awake and was about to go to court. There was no need to sleep anymore at this time. He asked the chamberlain to come in, cut the candles, and bring a pot of green plum wine, and then he closed the study.
He opened the door, removed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, placed the wine bottle in front of the desk, opened the wine cup, and poured himself a cup.
He raised his head and drank the small glass of wine. The sourness and bitterness in the wine made him more and more awake. He leaned back on the chair and vomited out all the thoughts in his mind deeply and longly.
Song Huiyue was not in front of him. If he wanted to calm down, he had to find another way.
Accompanied by the smell of alcohol, his mind and body relaxed into the chair, thinking about nothing but staring at his hands in a daze.
After a while, his thoughts slowly returned to his mind. This time, they were no longer heavy and messy, but became clear and organized. He already had all the answers in his mind on how to deal with it in the morning.
