Zhao Xuanji looked calm and cold, and said: "But the purpose is not to prevent the prince from attending the morning court, but to destroy his majesty. Therefore, even if the prince cannot make this happen, you and I will still step in to make it happen."
Wang Tenghuan asked in astonishment: "Chief Assistant, why?"
Zhao Xuanji said slowly: "The prince wants to hold an early court, just to get involved in the government affairs, but since he is already the supervisor of the country, and the emperor does not die, he will occupy the great righteousness. For this reason, you and I will resolve the conflict with the prince.
On the surface, one is unwise."
"Secondly, after the morning court is held, the prince will truly enter the stage at the center of the highest political struggle in the empire, and more flaws will be exposed. But don't forget, not being able to attend the morning court actually has little impact on you and me.
Because the government is controlled by the cabinet. Therefore, if the prince is allowed to listen to the government, what will happen to the discussion? If no one listens to his orders, and his orders cannot leave the East Palace, his majesty will inevitably be wiped out. Once the majesty is wiped out, it will be difficult to establish it again.
"
"Thirdly, the prince is living in the East Palace and cannot leave, so he is equivalent to being aloof. It is not easy for you and me to catch his loopholes. When he personally participates, it also creates opportunities for you and me. Nothing is absolute
Yes, since the prince wants to get involved in the government, he must pay a price, and losing the protective layer of transcendence is one of the prices he must pay."
"There are four more."
Zhao Xuanji took out a memorial from the drawer, handed it to Wang Tenghuan and said, "It was urgently sent from 800 miles away from Xishan Province an hour ago. Please take a look."
Wang Tenghuan hurriedly took it, opened the memorial, and his face was filled with horror. He raised his head and said to Zhao Xuanji: "There are rebels in Xishan Province, and the three counties of Taiyuan, Yangqu, and Xiangding have fallen!
?”
"Disasters have been going on for years. Although the imperial court is trying its best to provide disaster relief, you don't know the virtues of the officials below. After layers of deductions, the food finally distributed to the people can be boiled into a bowl of gruel. Those officials are considered worthy.
I have a clear conscience.”
"In such a situation, coupled with the heavy snowfall and the city's closure, it is reasonable for the people to become disaster victims and the disaster victims to become traitors."
Wang Tenghuan's expression changed, and he continued: "This matter is a great opportunity."
Seeing that his colleagues understood what he was thinking, Zhao Xuanji nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, if it is up to you and me to handle this matter, we can transfer the commander of Xishan Capital to the envoy and send thousands of troops to defeat it. But now that the situation in the court is in turmoil, the prince
Since we are bent on fighting for power, it is only natural that the military situation has been delayed."
"Now the most indispensable thing under the sky is the victims. If there is a spark, it will immediately become a prairie fire. By then, most of Xishan Province has fallen, and rebels have become a climate. How will the prince explain?"
Wang Tenghuan laughed loudly, his previous nervousness and depression swept away, and he praised: "The first assistant is wise!"
As soon as the Jin Yiwei moved, the entire capital was in a panic.
The Dongchang Jinyiwei went to the house to call the names according to the list. At the beginning, the people were still panic-stricken, but gradually they discovered that the Jinyiwei were looking for officials, and ordinary minor officials were not qualified to be knocked on the door.
The people they knocked on were all court ministers.
The palace of Teng Huaiyi, the Minister of Punishment, was brightly lit.
For officials of this level, Sanbao came in person.
When he entered the palace, he saw not only Teng Huaiyi but also a middle-aged official with a miserable look in the main hall. Sanbao immediately remembered that this person was the Lieutenant General of the Ministry of Justice, Hu Lansheng, and his son had bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago.
, was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill him in Prince Teng’s Pavilion by himself.
The hatred of killing his son was irreconcilable, so when he saw the Three Treasures, Hu Lansheng's eyes turned blood red.
