Yao Yuanfu came to Beijing and was placed in the Forbidden Army Camp by the Privy Council. No matter what the filth involved, it was a fact that the Privy Council violated the rules, which gave Guo Zongyi an opportunity.
According to the regulations, when foreign troops arrive in the capital, they must retreat thirty miles to camp, otherwise they will be suspected of treason, not to mention that it is not an empty camp, but there are still imperial guards stationed inside.
Since Wei Xun blocked the invitation to borrow the camp on the grounds that "soldiers should not mix with the people", he responded with the same rules and regulations, and then easily led Wang Jun's army.
After leaving Princess Shou'an's Mansion, he had been thinking about who to ask His Majesty to propose such a matter. This person must have the courage to speak out and speak out, his status should not be too low, and he must be able to turn small things into big things.
After pondering hard for a long time, he really thought of such a person, Bian Guichen, the Minister of Household Affairs.
This man was an upright and honest official, with a good reputation, and he was a clean figure both inside and outside the government. When Guo Rong came to the throne later, he felt that the government was weak, so he appointed him as the censor Zhongcheng to supervise all officials.
There are too many shortcomings in today's officialdom, and he can't see them all. As long as he can't see them, he will report them.
Last year, Bian Guitan couldn't stand the culture of spreading rumors and making false accusations in the DPRK, so he petitioned the court to formulate regulations to strictly prohibit false accusations and stipulate that all letters of disclosure must be signed to prevent false accusations.
Guo Wei felt that such regulations could not be made clear, so he did not agree. After that, he appealed to the government three times, but all of them refused, so he stopped. Then he moved from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, which had some power, to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which had no responsibility.
Speaking of which, Wei Xun still picked up his leak.
But how can he reveal himself and let Bian Guichen know about it before Yao Yuanfu goes on the expedition?
You have to find someone who has nothing to do with you and who is completely unknown to Bian Chengui to handle this matter.
After thinking about it, he motioned to Li Fang behind him to follow him.
"Your Highness is summoning you?" Li Fang asked, carefully controlling his horse, one horse head behind Guo Zongyi.
Guo Zongyi nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know Bian Guichen?"
Li Fang shook his head: "I have never made friends with him before. I heard that the Bian Shilang has a stubborn and upright temper, so most court officials are reluctant to associate with him. However, Zhang Zhao, the former Minister of Rites, is very familiar with him."
"Oh? Is it the Zhang Zhao who was convicted of a crime a while ago and was demoted to the crown prince's guest?"
"Exactly this person."
"How did he and Bian Guitan meet?"
"I heard that it was due to the revision of the Nine Classics of Imperial College by Tian Min, the minister Zuo Cheng and the supervisor of the Imperial Academy. Since the third year of Changxing, Tian Min has been editing the Nine Classics together with Ma Hao and others. It has been twenty years now.
It’s still not done.”
"Zhang Zhao is a famous Confucian scholar. He has tens of thousands of books in his family. He has read the Nine Classics before he reached adulthood. He and Tian Min are both respected as Confucian leaders. Bian Guichen is also famous for his proficiency in Confucianism. In recent years, the two of them have often been invited by Tian Min.
The Imperial Academy said, I think we got to know each other because of this."
Guo Zongyi was convinced that there was a candidate who could not be matched by either side.
He turned around and ordered: "Go and find out if they will get together in the past two days. If not, find a way to create an opportunity. You are the editor of the Guoguan, and you are both a member of the officialdom. You should be able to do something."
"I have a way." Li Fang replied confidently.
Although he didn't know what method Li Fang used, he reported back and forth the next day, saying that the three of them would gather at the Imperial College in the afternoon and lecture on the scriptures with the prison students.
Perhaps Li Fang mobilized the imperial students and asked them to petition the Imperial College and invite several famous scholars to give lectures. Tian Min, an old scholar, would not refuse such a thing even if he thought about it.
Of course, this is just Guo Zongyi's guess. Li Fang didn't say it, and he wouldn't ask. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
After getting accurate information, he told Lu Duan: "Yi Zhi can take him and set off. If his words are wrong, you have to guide him appropriately."
"Wei, I am from the province."
Lu Duan took the order and left, and the person he wanted to take with him was naturally Li Weihan, who had escaped from the Imperial Academy.
Looking at Lu Duan's disappearing back, Guo Zongyi sighed softly and said to himself: "Old cousin, I have wronged you for a while, and I will make it up to you in the future and let you become a general."
When it was time to light the lanterns, Lu Duan came back, and Guo Zongyi was taking a walk by Rongyue Lake. At this time, the weather began to warm up, and there was no need to wear a cloak when walking.
"Is it done?" Guo Zongyi asked as he walked.
"After it was done, Bian Guichen's expression was not right at that time, and he stopped talking about the classics. He rushed out of the door and returned home in a hurry. He thought he was writing a memorial." Lu Duan said with a smile.
Guo Zongyi calmed down and asked Li Weihan again: "How is my cousin doing?"
He felt somewhat sorry for involving innocent people.
"I'm afraid Li Yanei's situation will not be too good for a while. At that time, I accompanied Li Gong to escort him to the Imperial College, and he was still confused."
"When he saw that the person who came was the Imperial College student, he thought it was Tian Min who sent someone to arrest him, so he cursed him. Li Gong ordered someone to silence him and escorted him back to the Imperial College."
"When we arrived at the Imperial College, Tian, Bian and three other people were lecturing. As soon as Li Yanei took away the rag from his mouth, he yelled at Tian Min in front of the prison students, accusing him of being authoritarian and violating the rules, only caring about political achievements and not caring about political affairs.
Students are returning home after school break."
"Even Zhang Zhao and Bian Guichen, who were supporting him, scolded him. Tian Min was too old to talk back, but Bian Guichen was outspoken and gave him a scolding."
"Li Yameni was so angry that he recited a poem on the spot, which was Du Mu's: 'From the big Wuye in front of the stairs, what happened to Qian Jun to make me lament?', and I returned to the border to retaliate. 'Those who are unkind will be punished if they are exposed.
When it comes to shaking books and bags, Li Yameni is naturally no better than Bian Guiyi. He didn't need to be induced by his ministers, so he took out what he heard on the road and said that the Privy Council arranged for Yao Yuanfu's army to enter Beijing and stationed the imperial army camp.
Punishing other people for their bad deeds, he turned a deaf ear to the powerful minister's "revealing" objections, and ridiculed him, "Qingfeng can't read, why bother reading books?" At that time, Bian Guichen's face turned red, he raised his fingers to the sky, and cursed Wang Jun.
Cover your face with your sleeves and leave."
"Commander Li soon came after hearing the news and took him back. Strangely enough, as soon as Commander Li arrived, Li Yanei immediately stopped talking and kept silent."
Lu Duan explained the details in detail. After this incident, he admired this young highness even more.
By some calculated calculation without any intention, he took advantage of a few unrelated accidental events and used a truant imperial student as a thread to connect the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Foreign Army, the Imperial College and two unrelated ministers.
Not only did he get rid of the troublesome Li Weihan, but he also tricked Wang Jun without leaving any trace.
No matter who looks at it, all this is reasonable and justified.
He also picked himself clean, not to mention that he couldn't see through it, but even if he saw through it, the enemy would have nowhere to start. The words were said by Li Weihan, the student was escaped by Li Weihan, the person was wanted by the Imperial College, and Bian found that Tan was Tian.
Invited by Min, what happened to the emperor's grandson's house?
Who in the court does not know that Li Chongjin has a delicate relationship with the emperor's eldest son's family. Could it be that Li Chongjin's son fled to the emperor's grandson, and His Highness would not report the knowledge and deliberately hide it?
What's more, Li Weihan himself made mistakes first. As a relative of the emperor, he actually committed such a scandal as playing truant. No one would condone him.
As for the Privy Council's arrangements for Yao Yuanfu's army, although not many people in the court knew about it, there were still quite a few, and Yao Yuan's army had already entered the camp with great fanfare this evening.
After Guo Zongyi listened carefully, he felt completely relieved. Although this strategy is not perfect, of course there is no perfect strategy in this world, but the advantage is that the people involved are distant from each other, and everything happens more naturally, which is difficult for ordinary people to follow.
I think of it as a deliberate plan.
As for Li Weihan's next situation, Guo Zongyi is no longer worried. Although he scolded Tian Min and others, fortunately, it was justified and defensible. If these people want to retaliate later, they may not be able to find a suitable one.
reason.
It's just that during this period, Li Weihan had to suffer some physical hardships, but it was also beneficial to think about it conversely. After this incident, Tian Min would never let him enter the Imperial Academy again. It just so happened that this fulfilled his wish of not wanting to study.
Thinking of this cowardly cousin, Guo Zongyi couldn't help but smile.
This Li Weihan still has some brains and a bit of sense, and is far less blunt than he seems.
However, the lines he used in his poem to mock Bian Guixun were very clever. It seemed that he had spent the past few years studying in Taixue, and he had some skills. He also knew how to quote scriptures when swearing, without using any curse words.
