What Bachelor Zhang said was incomprehensible. Anyone else might have been confused and confused.
But Wang Xiang's expression did not change. He just sighed and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Scholar Zhang said: "I have no choice."
"Yes." Wang Xiang nodded and said: "You have made him lose face this time. With his nature, the Zhang family has no way to retreat."
Zhang Daxue said: "Prince Duan is not a good master. He is both public and private. I must do this."
"This is a trap." Wang Xiang looked at him, shook his head and said: "A generation of clean people actually sometimes does such dirty things."
Academician Zhang smiled coldly and asked, "Your Wang family may not be that clean even if it continues to this day."
Wang Xiang glanced at him and said: "Take good care of yourself, I'm leaving."
When he reached the door, he paused, turned his head, glanced, and said, "But I agree with what you said."
"King Duan is indeed not a good master. Your Majesty should have a better choice."
…
When Prime Minister Wang left the Zhang family, all the officials who came to visit the Zhang family, regardless of rank, went out to see him off.
Relying on His Majesty's favor and trust, Marquis Dingguo is almost the leader of one person and above ten thousand people in the capital.
But this is only close.
In the entire capital, the only person who can truly be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people is the Prime Minister.
He is the left prime minister and the only prime minister at the time. If he waves his hand, a storm will arise in the capital. If he stamps his feet, an earthquake will occur in the court.
…
Tang Ning has been writing the charter for trade between Chen Guo and the grassland these days. She has not gone to Shangshu Province, but she is still paying special attention to the news from the DPRK and China.
There was one thing among them that caught his attention.
King Duan's beating of Academician Zhang caused a great disturbance in the capital a few days ago, but because Emperor Chen did not protect him, King Duan acknowledged his mistake promptly and handled it properly, and the matter was quickly settled.
However, the matter had not been settled for two days before it resurfaced and was getting worse.
This matter seems simple, and Academician Zhang did not suffer any serious injuries. However, in the era when Confucian etiquette was prevalent, King Duan, as a public figure, deceived his teachers, killed his ancestors, and beat his teachers. The impact was far more serious than that of later generations.
Much more.
If he is an ordinary scholar, if he has meritorious service, he will be expelled from his job. If he has no meritorious service, he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life. This is considered a light punishment.
If he is an official in the DPRK, it is within the legal and reasonable principles to reduce his official position and remove him from his post.
If he were the emperor, the impact would be even worse. Some people could even use such a reason to write a submission, which would lead to an immediate rebellion, and they would still be on the side of righteousness.
More and more officials began to join the ranks of impeaching King Duan. After all, the influence of Academician Zhang was too huge. Even Emperor Chen had to treat it carefully and seriously.
Tang Ning saw the shadow of the Prime Minister in the changes in the court situation in the past two days.
If we want to say who has the most power in the court besides Emperor Chen, it is naturally the Prime Minister. If he targets anyone, even the prince will be stripped of his skin.
Others couldn't see clearly the twists and turns, but Tangning could see it clearly.
Academician Zhang was beaten by King Duan, and Prime Minister Wang participated in the impeachment discussion. It seemed that he was doing so from the perspective of etiquette, law and justice, but in fact he was doing so from the perspective of King Run.
Although Wang Xiang and Grand Scholar Zhang did not openly express their stance, in Tangning's eyes, they were clearly on the side of King Run.
King Kang gave up, and King Huai was not qualified. If King Duan was deposed, the officials in the court and the people in the capital should have thought of King Run, no matter how late they were.
This is exactly what Tangning is worried about.
Judging from the current situation, although Zhao Yuan can show his presence in front of Chen Huang from time to time, he is far from the time to come to the stage.
King Duan cannot be deposed if he is shot first. He still needs to stand in front of the stage to defend King Run for several years. If Wang Xiang and Grand Scholar Zhang press too hard, they will go too far.
At the same time, the Fang family.
Fang Zhe rubbed his fingers unconsciously and murmured: "It's not the time yet..."
Fang Hong looked worried and said: "What should we do? Do we need to remind the king..."
"No need." Fang Zhe waved his hand and said, "Let's see. Before the matter becomes clear, the Fang family should not have contact with Prime Minister Wang and Grand Scholar Zhang, and there is no need to contact them. They know what to do better than us..."
…
In the morning.
In the past few days, there have been heated discussions in the court about Prince Duan, and even Emperor Chen could not suppress it.
Emperor Chen looked at the officials below and asked: "Prince Duan disrespected Mr. Zhang and beat Academician Zhang. Many officials petitioned me to depose Prince Duan from the throne. What do you think?"
Many officials lowered their heads and said nothing.
King Kang has been deposed. If King Duan is also deposed, who will your Majesty find to inherit the throne? This matter is too sensitive. Who dares to speak first?
No one in the court responded. Emperor Chen glanced around, and finally looked at the Prime Minister, asking: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
The Prime Minister cupped his hands, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, young people are impulsive and sometimes do things to extremes. Although King Duan should not have done anything to the great scholar, he was punished as he should have been. If he were deposed again,
Is the position of prince a bit too heavy?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Academician Zhang and asked, "What do you think, Academician Zhang?"
Academician Zhang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have an old skeleton. If it causes chaos in the royal family, I will be responsible for it even if I die. I agree with what the king said, and I hope your majesty will think twice."
Both Prime Minister Wang and Academician Zhang disagreed with deposing King Duan, and all the officials also understood.
The royal family is already in enough chaos. If something happens to King Duan again, it will turn into a mess that cannot be dealt with. If this matter continues, it will only embarrass His Majesty.
However, the image of King Duan who ignored the etiquette and deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors has been deeply imprinted in their hearts and cannot be erased. When His Majesty officially canonizes the crown prince in the coming day, for the continuation of Chen Guo and Guo Zuo, and for the stability of the court, today's
A scene that I'm afraid will happen again.
Chen Huang did not answer, but looked at Tang Ning and asked, "What do Marquis Dingguo think?"
Tang Ning admitted that she still underestimated the two old foxes, Wang Xiang and Grand Scholar Zhang. They stirred up such a big storm in the court, but in the end they fell lightly. Prince Duan seemed to have suffered no loss, but his image was.
It has left a deep imprint on the hearts of hundreds of officials and even Chen Huang, and has also laid a huge root for him in the future.
But at this moment, and for some time to come, he will not leave the stage, but will stand in front of others, fulfill his brother's responsibility, and protect King Run from the wind and rain.
He looked up at Emperor Chen, cupped his hands and said, "I think Prime Minister Wang and Academician Zhang are right."
Emperor Chen looked at King Huai, who bowed and said, "My son, I second the proposal."
Fang Zhe, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up, cupped his hands and said: "I second the proposal..."
"I second the proposal..."
…
With the leadership of these important officials in the court, hundreds of officials expressed their opinions one after another. Emperor Chen did not continue to pursue the matter of Prince Duan and announced his resignation from the court.
This matter seemed to be a matter of neglect, but from now on, when they think of King Duan again, they will have the image of a playboy with no talent and virtue, who beats his teacher and ignores etiquette...
How can such a dandy become the emperor of a country?
After the dynasty was dismissed, all the officials retreated in an orderly manner. When Tang Ning walked out of the hall, she looked back and saw that Academician Zhang and Wang Xiang were walking side by side. A few steps behind them were the two brothers Fang Zhe and Fang Hong.
Among the crowd, several eyes met in mid-air, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
