Afterwards, it was found that what Sima Zhaoyan said was true, so Tang Yin also dismissed Li You from his official position. The second thing was that Sima Zhaoyan impeached Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing and Ai Wei in the court.
Qiu Zhen was the left prime minister, Xiao Muqing was the commander-in-chief of the Pingyuan Army, and Ai Wei was the head of the Lieutenant's Mansion. The three of them were important ministers of the court and popular figures in front of Tang Yin. Even Minister Fengren did not dare to impeach any of them, but
However, Sima Zhaoyan dared to do things that others did not dare to do, and he impeached the three of them at once.
The cause of the incident was the steward of Zuo Xiang's Mansion. This steward's name was Yu Yao. He was related to Xiao Muqing and was his cousin's brother-in-law.
Xiao Muqing recommended Yu Yao to Qiu Zhen, hoping that he could find a job in Zuo Xiangfu. Since he was the person recommended by Xiao Muqing, Qiu Zhen couldn't let Yu Yao just be an ordinary servant because of his kindness, so he let him
He became the second housekeeper of Zuo Xiangfu.
Qiu Zhen is the left prime minister of the Feng Kingdom. He can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Although Yu Yao is only a housekeeper, he is the housekeeper of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. On weekdays, he always fights with others outside, showing off his power and having hordes of subordinates.
Once at the market, Yu Yao had a conflict with a local snake. The two sides disagreed and started fighting on the spot. As a result, Yu Yao, the powerful dragon, failed to suppress the local snake and was beaten up by the other party.
Of course Yu Yao refused to accept it. As the steward of Zuo Xiangfu, even the ministers in the court had to be polite to him. But this time he was bullied by the gangsters. How could he let it go?
After returning to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, he did not inform Qiu Zhen, but privately took several nursing staff from Zuo Xiang's Mansion to seek revenge on the other party.
The guards in the Zuo Xiang Mansion are not ordinary people. They are all spiritual cultivators. How could those ruffians be their opponents?
A second group fight broke out between the two sides in the market. This time Yu Yaoke became violent and commanded the guards of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to kill the gangster leader and two of his subordinates, and injured more than ten people.
When a life-and-death lawsuit broke out, the Lieutenant's Mansion responsible for the security of the capital naturally had to intervene. The lieutenant of the Lieutenant's Mansion was Gu Chong, but Gu Chong was in name only, and the person actually in charge was Ai Wei. After learning about the case, Ai Wei investigated and found out
Yu Yao was the housekeeper of Zuo Xiang Qiu Zhen, and was related to Xiao Muqing. The three people who were beaten to death were all well-known local gangsters and bullies. They had never done anything good on weekdays, bullying men and dominating women.
, do no evil.
Aiwei weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to sell a favor to Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing. He punished Yu Yao lightly and only gave him ten sticks to teach him a lesson. After that, the case was closed.
I thought this case would be settled like this, but no one expected that this matter would reach Sima Zhaoyan's ears again.
He sent someone to re-investigate the case, and felt that there were elements of favoritism and malpractice in it, so he immediately impeached Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, and Ai Wei in the court.
After learning about this incident, Tang Yin was also very angry. Three people died, and he was only responsible for giving the murderer ten sticks. This was indeed a bit too much, but for such a case, Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, and Ai Wei had to be dismissed from their official positions. Tang Yin
I can't agree with it anyway.
In the end, Tang Yin punished Qiu Zhen with a fine of half a year's salary and Ai Wei with a fine of one year, and ordered the Lieutenant's Office to re-investigate the case.
Through these two things, Sima Zhaoyan established considerable prestige in the Fengguo court. From then on, no one, no matter they were civil servants or military generals, dared to despise the political participation hall and the military political hall. Of course, this effect was exactly what Tang Yin
Want to see.
After these two incidents, Tang Yin paid more and more attention to Sima Zhaoyan. When dealing with government affairs, he was willing to have Sima Zhaoyan by his side and discuss with him at any time.
In November of the eighth year of Fengli, Xiao Xiang gave birth to a son. Tang Yin named him Tang Yu, hoping that his temperament would be as gentle as jade and he would govern the country with benevolence in the future.
After all, he has already fought all the battles that need to be fought. There will be a peaceful and prosperous era in the future, and the Feng Kingdom will no longer need an immediate monarch. But in fact, Tang Yu's temperament is completely opposite to Tang Yin's expectations.
Not long after Tang Yu was born, under the strong advice of Xiao Xiang and other ministers, Tang Yin made him the crown prince. It can be said that Tang Yu was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Before he was sensible, he already had the arrogance of the prince of Feng Kingdom.
person's identity.
Not long after Xiao Xiang gave birth to Tang Yu, Wu Mei, Fan Min and other ladies also became pregnant one after another, giving birth to children and then girls. However, Princess Yin Rou's belly remained silent, which was what Tang Yin felt most regretful about.
After ten years of wind, the Holy King of Shenchi Renxiao took the Zen throne. The newly succeeded Holy King of Shenchi came to Shangjing for the first time, claiming to pay homage to the emperor, but in fact he bowed his head to Tang Yin.
Now the entire world belongs to the Feng Kingdom. Without the support of the Feng Kingdom, Shenchi would not even be able to maintain its livelihood.
Tang Yin was quite satisfied with the new saint king, treated him with courtesy, and held a feast in Beijing. As for Ren Xiao who gave up the throne and traveled around the world with the saint, Tang Yin was filled with envy. At this time, in his heart
Then he came up with the idea of imitating Ren Xiao.
Then, Tang Yin wanted to make another drastic reform to the Feng Kingdom, and this time the reform was to implement a constitutional monarchy.
The establishment of a parliament will limit the monarch's rights to the maximum extent. Even the power of the court will be greatly weakened and power will be given to the people.
Tang Yin himself knew very well that if he wanted the descendants of the Tang family to continue, the implementation of a constitutional monarchy was inevitable. Only by giving up power to the people to the maximum extent could the Feng Kingdom last long and not be violently overthrown.
However, for that era, the constitutional monarchy was too advanced and unimaginable. As soon as Tang Yin proposed it, it immediately aroused opposition from inside and outside the court. Not only the ministers strongly opposed it, but even the people could not understand that if the king did not have real power,
Then why are you called a king? If the king wants to give up all his power to something called the 'Parliament', won't the world be in chaos?
There are some things that even if Tang Yingui is the king, he is powerless, including the wisdom of the people.
The people's wisdom was not yet enlightened, and the more advanced ideas were, the more unacceptable they were. Tang Yin tried his best and tried every means to implement the constitutional monarchy. As a result, he could not get the support of the ministers in the court, and he could not get the support of the people outside the court.
The support ended in failure amid strong opposition across the country.
However, Tang Yin also had the spirit of perseverance. If it didn't work once, he would try it a second time or a third time. During Tang Yin's reign, he proposed the implementation of a constitutional monarchy four times. Unfortunately, with his own power, it was really impossible.
Unable to survive alone, four attempts at reform ended in failure.
This incident hit Tang Yin hard and made him feel disheartened. It was obviously a system that was several generations more advanced than the current system, but no one could understand it, let alone accept it. Even the ideas of Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji
The most enlightened ministers scorned his proposed constitutional monarchy, thinking it was extremely absurd.
Now Tang Yin can finally experience the pain of "the whole world is turbid and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone". At this time, Tang Yin became more and more tired of the position of king. Even when he was sitting in the court, he looked at the darkness below.
Among the civil and military ministers, he felt an indescribable loneliness.
He knew in his heart that in this era of unintelligent people, the system of constitutional monarchy could not be implemented no matter what. He wrote down the concept of constitutional monarchy, hoping that Tang Yu or future generations could complete this goal on his behalf.
The failure to implement the constitutional monarchy was a blow to Tang Yin, and what finally made him want to leave was the struggle for power in the harem. Since Tang Yu was established as the crown prince, Xiao Xiang's mother had the power of her son and the support of the Sichuan people.
She has become the first person in the harem.
But her actual identity is just a lady, and above her head, there is always a princess holding her down.
At this time, Yin Rou has become a thorn in Xiao Xiang's side. In Xiao Xiang's view, as long as there is no Yin Rou, the position of princess must belong to her. Yin Rou is the biggest stumbling block on his way forward.
It is impossible to bring down Yin Rou through fair and honest means. After all, Tang Yin's favorite woman has always been her. Therefore, to get rid of Yin Rou, she can only use underhanded and poisonous tricks.
In terms of scheming and performance, none of the women in Tang Yin's harem could compare to Xiao Xiang, who was born as a monarch, including Ling Shuang, who was also born as a monarch.
The first accident that happened to Yin Rou was in the pond in the palace. She was walking by the pond, but she fell into the pond inexplicably. Fortunately, people rescued her in time and dragged Yin Rou out of the pond as soon as possible, but even so,
Yin Rou, who had a weak constitution, was still in a coma for two days and two nights, and then fell ill for several more days.
The second accident occurred on the way to Shangjing for an outing. Xiao Xiang's guard of honor was ambushed by assassins.
This time the situation was even more dangerous. A total of fifty-seven crossbow arrows were shot into the carriage that Yin Rou was riding in. The two palace maids sitting in the carriage were shot into hedgehogs on the spot. Fortunately, Yin Rou was not in the carriage at the time.
.
She finally had the opportunity to go out for fun. Yin Rou felt that being in the car was too restrictive and she couldn't see much of the scenery, so she secretly changed into the clothes of a palace maid and walked outside among the palace ladies. It was precisely because of her whim of disguise
By changing her appearance, she escaped the disaster, and the two palace maids in the car became her scapegoats.
The third accident was Yin Rou's poisoning. A venomous snake inexplicably appeared in her bedroom. When she was sleeping at night, Yin Rou was bitten by a venomous snake. Tang Yin used all his resources to treat Yin Rou's injuries and poison, and finally saved her life.
took her life.
There were several more accidents after that, and these various accidents did not happen consecutively. The longest interval between them was several years. They seemed to have no connection, but Tang Yin knew in his heart that someone wanted to kill Yin Rou.
In the place of death.
Feeling that if he kept Yin Rou in the palace, he would be killed sooner or later, so he began to gradually alienate Yin Rou in a planned way. At that time, people thought that the king was tired of the princess who always caused trouble.
Later, Tang Yin seemed to feel that keeping Yin Rou around would be an eyesore, so he simply sent her out of the palace and settled in Zhenjiang, the nominal capital of Feng Kingdom.
After staying away from Shangjing and arriving in Zhenjiang, Yin Rou did not encounter any accidents of this kind again. It seemed that all the bad luck in recent years had left her behind.
