ps: Hahaha, let me laugh three times to relieve my embarrassment. I made a mistake while busy. In fact, the chapter names of the first two chapters both start with 200. I am really ashamed.
The following text
Have the words on the memorial inscription disappeared?
Zhao Hongrun vaguely heard the conversation between Sheyou, the Minister of Rites, and Hongli, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and was really surprised.
You know, even a guy like him who didn't take the rules seriously in the past is very cautious today. You can imagine the solemnity of today's ceremony to worship the heaven.
However, Prince Hongli of the Eastern Palace messed up.
Hey, now, this prince is going to be in bad luck!
Zhao Hongrun looked on with cold eyes as if he was gloating about the misfortune. At the same time, he glanced at the indifferent Yong Wang Hongyu next to him, feeling a little stunned in his heart.
Although he had already guessed that the second brother of King Yong was bound to attack the Prince of the East Palace during today's ceremony, he really didn't expect that the method the second brother chose to attack would be so vicious. If everything goes well, then
Today, the prince of the East Palace will definitely lose his prestige in front of the nearly 100,000 people in Liang below the Temple of Heaven.
In fact, King Yong could even ask someone to secretly spread a rumor afterwards: the Heavenly Father was dissatisfied with the East Palace's hosting of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, so he used divine power to cover up the words on the sacrificial inscription.
Don't doubt it, the Wei people will believe it.
In the Wei Dynasty, which firmly believed in Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, if a person was labeled as being hated by heaven and earth, everything would be ruined.
Even if Zhao Hongrun, the now famous King of Su, fell into a similar trap, Wei people's views and evaluations of him would gradually change with the spread of rumors, not to mention his prestige, which is now far inferior to
Zhao Hongrun’s East Palace Prince Hongli.
Since ancient times, political frame-up has been nothing more than conspiracy and moral criticism. In comparison, the latter is often more tried and true.
The so-called moral criticism, to put it bluntly, is to throw dirty water. Of course, it is a very skillful way to throw dirty water. That is to say, it cannot leave any clues that can easily be seen through. At the same time, it cannot allow the opponent to find a way to fight back, or even try to draw you in at a desperate moment.
Opportunity to die.
I remember that Luo Wenzhong, the director of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, did this, causing Zhao Hongrun to stay in the meditation room of the Zongfu for seven whole days. Fortunately, at that time, he was still in the emperor's heart. He got the favor of Emperor Wei.
Pay attention and take it seriously, otherwise, a prince whose reputation has been ruined and always on the edge of power will really be unable to do anything to a minister in the civil service department.
It's a pity that Luo Wenzhong's trick at the beginning was Gao Guigao, but because of the hasty arrangement, it was impossible to hide it from Emperor Wei's eyes. It's just that Emperor Wei was too lazy to pay attention. After all, even if he wanted to regain his position, it was Zhao Hongrun's business. He
It would be too petty for the majestic king of Wei to condescend to deal with a minister.
Compared with Luo Wenzhong, today's Yong Wang Hongyu's method of framing Prince Hongli is much higher.
The sacrificial text was written by Luo Yao, an aide to Prince Hongli. The person who later kept the sacrificial text was also the Zongwei of Prince Hongli. It can be said that no one from Yong Wang Hongyu came close to the sacrificial text from the beginning to the end, but the words in the sacrificial text were
The words, however, mysteriously disappeared under the eyes of everyone, as if the heavenly father in the dark was really dissatisfied with the Prince Hongli of the East Palace.
How did he do it?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Yong Wang Hongyu calmly.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Hongrun to believe that there really are any so-called gods in this world. He is more inclined to believe that this is a man-made conspiracy.
As for the promoter behind the scenes, well, this is the King Yong next to him.
But the question is, how did the Yongwang Emperor disappear the words on the sacrificial inscription under the eyes of the Prince of the East Palace?
Could it be that Luo Yao, the staff member next to the East Palace, was actually a member of King Yong?
Zhao Hongrun frowned and thought.
In his opinion, there were only two people who had the chance to subtract the sacrificial inscriptions, one was Luo Yao, and the other was Feng Shu, the chief of the imperial guard of the Prince of the East Palace.
However, Zhao Hongrun immediately ruled out Feng Shu. Because it was impossible for Zongwei to betray the prince to whom he was loyal. This was a dead rule of the Zongwei system established by the Zongfu. If Feng Shu really betrayed the Prince of the East Palace for some reason,
Then, even if the world is under heaven, there will never be room for this person!
The Zongwei in the Zongfu, or rather the Yulin Army, will mobilize in full force to kill Feng Shu, the traitor who has ruined the reputation of their Zongwei, as well as his relatives and friends. Even if Feng Shu flees to another country, it will be of no avail.
But in fact, this situation will not happen at all, because Zongwei, who was raised by the clan and instilled the idea of loyalty to his master since childhood, would never betray the prince to whom they are loyal, even in despair.
Those Zongwei would only think about how to find opportunities to commit suicide. Otherwise, how could Zongwei Yu Linlang be called the most loyal army to the Ji Zhao clan in the Wei Dynasty.
In other words, the only suspect is Luo Yao.
Zhao Hongrun subconsciously looked at Luo Yao, but unexpectedly found that Luo Yao was staring at him with fear and anger in his eyes.
At first reaction, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little confused. He thought to himself, this is none of my business, why are you staring at me?
But as soon as he thought about it, Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that Luo Yao was not staring at him, but at Yong Wang Hongyu beside him.
Yo yo yo, this is interesting...
Glancing at the calm-looking Yong Wang Hongyu, and then at the displeased Luo Yao, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Because it is not difficult to see from Luo Yao's frightened and angry eyes that he is very frightened and angry at the predicament of the East Palace Prince Hongli at this moment, and this person also guessed the mastermind behind the scenes in an instant.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Luo Yao and Yongwang Hongyu are acting together. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun cannot easily say whether Luo Yao is from the East Palace or from Yongwang.
Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes wide and looked at the people worshiping at the Temple of Heaven, as if he was just watching a good show.
He really wanted to see how this matter would end today.
Help the Prince of the East Palace?
Zhao Hongrun never thought about it.
First of all, he had no position to help the Prince of the East Palace Hong Li.
Secondly, even if he had the intention to replace the Crown Prince of the East Palace and avoid making the Wei Dynasty embarrassed in front of the people of Daliang this time, he had no intention of doing so because he was not good at such rituals to worship heaven.
If Zhao Hongrun had read the ritual in advance, and with his photographic memory, he could recite the ritual on behalf of the East Palace and save the situation. But unfortunately, he had not read the memorial in advance.
But having said that, even if Zhao Hongrun had read the heaven-sacrifice article beforehand, he would not have come forward.
Because it is obvious that King Yong Hongyu set up such a trap just to deal with the Prince of the East Palace, to make him lose face and lose his prestige. If Zhao Hongrun stepped forward at this time, wouldn't he be helping the Prince of the East Palace who has no good feelings, but destroying him?
What is the plan of the favored King Yong?
As for the court's reputation, it was nothing more than a trivial matter. The loose policies of the Wei Dynasty in governing the people meant that the court and officials were destined to be criticized and even insulted by scholars and common people from time to time. A few curses were not painful.
At best, it was passed down as a joke.
Anyway, in Zhao Hongrun's view, it's not normal for the imperial court to be scolded by the people of the country.
Of course, I am afraid that Zhao Hongrun is the only one who holds this idea. At least at this moment, the Minister of Rites, She You, has turned pale with anxiety and is covered in cold sweat.
It's no wonder, because Zhao Hongrun didn't pay attention to this heaven-sacrifice ceremony from the beginning, so naturally he wouldn't care about the consequences if there were major changes in the ceremony, but She You, the Minister of Rites, didn't think much of it.
In fact, it is not just him, I believe that most people in Wei will attach great importance to this kind of ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth. Once something goes wrong in the ceremony, what will be the consequences?
To be honest, the consequences are disastrous!
It is an exaggeration to say that at this moment, the nearly 100,000 people in Liang who are worshiping under the Temple of Heaven will be frightened and consider this as disrespect to God.
What will happen if you disrespect God?
In the eyes of the Wei people of this era, once God is offended, the Wei Dynasty will inevitably be plagued by disasters in the coming year, with natural and man-made disasters happening one after another.
Once this rumor spreads, it will spread throughout the Wei Dynasty at an incredible speed. I don't know how many people in Wei will be frightened by it, leading to unsettled public sentiment, unstable public security and other bad sequelae.
Of course, the imperial court has always had a remedy for this, which is to throw out a few unlucky ghosts who took the blame, attribute all the fault for the failure of ceremonies such as the sacrifice to heaven to these people, and prepare a new ceremony for the sacrifice to heaven.
In fact, since ancient times, there are a lot of court officials who have innocently lost their positions due to strange celestial phenomena.
And today, if the ceremony of worshiping heaven really reaches the point of irreversibility, then Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, and You, the Minister of Rites, are undoubtedly the type of people who are destined to take the blame.
Death is unlikely, but being demoted is certain. Even Hongli, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, will surely be eclipsed for a long time and have to fade out of the sight of the government and the public.
It is precisely because of this that Hongli, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, and Sheyou, the Minister of Rites, are sweating with anxiety.
In fact, at the Temple of Heaven, except for the gloomy and uncertain expression of Emperor Wei and the princes who were either just watching the show or gloating about the misfortune, the officials and officials of the Ministry of Etiquette who assisted in the ceremony also lost their bearings.
At the critical moment of the ceremony, the words on the sacrificial inscription disappeared?
How to explain this to the people in Daliang who are waiting eagerly under the Temple of Heaven?
At this time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly noticed that Luo Yao walked towards the Prince of the East Palace, stood behind the Prince Hongli and whispered a few words.
What does he want to do?
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he saw this, and he was really confused.
But at this moment, the nervous and frightened look on the face of Prince Hongli of the East Palace gradually faded away. He took two more steps forward and looked solemnly at the empty memorial inscription in his hand.
At the same time, a voice filled with emotion was heard from the Temple of Heaven, slowly reciting sacrificial inscriptions.
"The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty would like to send the crown prince Hong Li, and dare to tell the Heavenly Father Haotian..." (To be continued.)
