The appearance of Shen Junfang made the morning court the most annoying time for Yao Junxian. Every time he stood in the court and listened to Yi Huaiyu reading the memorials that he had participated in in front of all the civil and military officials, no matter how thick-skinned the person was, he would feel that he had lost all face, let alone
Yao Junxian is a very decent person.
But on this day, Yao Junxian, who was constantly being played in the courtroom as usual, looked reserved and hid his pride.
"As expected of the Emperor's confidant and capable minister, General I do everything quickly and neatly. I am ashamed of myself!"
"Praise or reward, Master Yao has arranged it well so that the general can do it easily. Besides, even if Shen Junfang takes over the position of the general, he still has to give him face when the general invites him. It is not difficult to do it."
"That's perfect. Then... I'm just waiting to have a celebratory drink with General Ou!"
The secret conversation with Ou Suiliang last night was still fresh in my mind. His jealousy towards Shen Junfang, his anger towards Yi Huaiyu's actions, his dissatisfaction with the treatment he received... The topics between the two people seemed to suddenly increase, making Yao Junxian want to take a photo.
I regretted why I didn't win over Ou Suiliang earlier.
Today, Yao Junxian is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Sima Yuan. Not to mention that Sima Yuan has always been uncooperative in controlling Yi Huaiyu. Even when he asked officials for bribes, he was ridiculed many times by Sima Yuan. Yao Junxian became more and more dissatisfied.
The more I think about it, the more I don’t understand why my nephew, who is the same as me, has become a different person. Does he intend to change his mind and become a sage?
Anyway, since my relatives are unwilling to cooperate, it would not be a bad idea to recruit Ou Suiliang as a new "friend", who is at least much smarter than Sima Yuan.
"...Sir, Lord Yao? The emperor is calling you!"
His random thoughts were interrupted by a low-pitched reminder from the civil servant behind him. Yao Junxian hurriedly raised his head to respond, and met Yi Huaiyu's helpless eyes. He had seen this kind of look too much recently. Almost every day, someone accused him of accepting bribes, being an official, and even more
Not afraid of death. People like Shen Junfang bluntly say that he has power over the government and the public, and that his relatives are involved in politics. Every time like this, Yi Huaiyu will look at him silently. He wants to say something but dare not say it. He can only suppress his helplessness and depression in his heart.
.
What can I say? He is just a new emperor who relies on his power to seek power and usurp the throne. How dare Yi Huaiyu dare to disturb Tai Sui?
Yao Junxian sneered in his heart, but on his face he tried his best to maintain the image of a loyal minister.
"I canonized Shen Junfang as the Imperial Preceptor. Today is the first day. As a result, the first person he participated in as the Imperial Preceptor was Mr. Yao. You asked me to... You really don't understand my painstaking efforts at all!" This is probably a long-term backlog.
The depression reached its peak, and Yi Huaiyu crushed a lot of his depression into pieces with a long sigh.
"Mr. Yao holds several official positions such as Shangshu, Yushi, and Assistant Minister. This is the first time in the history of Dayao. To put it nicely, it means that those who are capable work harder, but to put it worse, it means that he has too much power and overthrows the government and the opposition.
Have you emptied the emperor?"
Shen Junfang's outspokenness attracted many ministers to discuss, but this was not the end, more direct accusations followed one after another.
"Going back six dynasties, since the 'Yunhou Rebellion', there has been an unwritten rule in Dayao that prohibits relatives of the emperor from intervening in politics. Now, Mr. Yao has repeatedly intervened in the government affairs through his identity as the queen's uncle and the prince's uncle, and there are many employees among them.
Many of the emperor's decisions, including improper and unjust cases, were also denied by Mr. Yao. When it comes to arrogance of power, the memorials received by the emperor are the most favorable evidence."
"That's nonsense!" Before Yao Junxian got angry, the ministers who were already interested were furious, "Master Yao worked tirelessly to worry about state affairs. Why did the imperial advisor say that he was trying to interfere with power? It is true that the relationship between the queen and Master Yao is nephew, but This should not be the basis for suppressing Mr. Yao. The emperor has always advocated appointing people on their merits. Shouldn't virtuous people not be able to participate in political affairs just because they are relatives of the emperor? This is simply putting the cart before the horse and is really ridiculous!"
"The emperor didn't say anything, but Guoshi Shen is here to make accusations. Doesn't this count as transgression?"
Faced with the accusations from Yao Junxian's group, Shen Jun showed no fear and smiled brightly and firmly: "Whether he is upright or has evil intentions to steal the country, the people of the world can make their own judgments. The emperor can go out in plainclothes among the people. Who is it?" He is full of crimes and crimes, and you will know them just by asking."
No matter how much controversy there is, it cannot be worth the evidence. Who among the civil and military officials present has no idea? From shielding corrupt officials to monopolizing power, Yao Junxian has been burdened with countless serious crimes. He can list ten or eight of the capital crimes alone. If he If he really goes to the private sector to collect evidence but Yi Huaiyu is willing to handle it according to the rules, Yao Junxian will definitely die.
The court hall was suddenly silent, and everyone looked nervously at Yi Huaiyu in the dragon chair, while Yi Huaiyu raised his fingers and tapped his forehead lightly, as if he was very embarrassed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this today. There are other things waiting to be dealt with." After a long time, Yi Huaiyu shook his head and turned the page. He randomly found some other topics to distract from the tense atmosphere. However, the two parties After everyone had shouted out, who could think about other issues with peace of mind? Therefore, until he left the court, except for a few ministers who said a few words casually, no one dared to say a word.
The morning session ended early that day. When he walked out of the hall with his hands strutting, Yao Junxian was not in a very good mood - it was a beautiful day, but why was it so cloudy? I don't know if it was because of the wind before the snow, but Yao Junxian felt My body felt a little cold and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Master Yao, Master Yao, stay here -" a civil servant who usually walked closer called out to Yao Junxian in a low voice, and smiled awkwardly, "Didn't we make an appointment to go to the General's Mansion a few days ago to help Master Yao identify the authenticity of some paintings? It turns out that I planned to visit today, but I didn’t know that my wife suddenly became seriously ill last night and needed to be taken care of. I couldn’t get away, so...so..."
"Forget it if you can't go. It's just two broken paintings. How much are they worth even if they are authentic? There are so many valuable things, so I don't care about that." Yao Junxian snorted with a smile on his face, rudely. He waved his hand, with a hidden meaning in his words, "Master Jiang, please go back home early. It's going to snow, so don't get all wet."
Urgent illness? Why is it such a coincidence? Do you think he is a fool and believe everything he says? Yao Junxian understands these people very well. They see that Yi Huaiyu favors Shen Junfang and think that he is going to lose power, so they are prepared in advance to avoid betrayal. However, he stayed estranged from the relationship and waited until he and Shen Junfang decided the outcome before approaching the winner and continuing to curry favor with him.
There are no sincere relatives and friends in this world, they are just using each other, and what he needs to do immediately is to use Ou Suiliang, his new ally, to get rid of the stumbling block.
In the Huanqing Palace, which was even more deserted than its name, Sima Tulan was sitting in front of the window in a daze, with a late-blooming late chrysanthemum hanging down in her hand. A cold wind blew outside, and the chrysanthemum suddenly fell to the ground silently.
Sima Tulan's heart trembled, and her fingertips were cold.
